Highly recommend him, and I’m looking forward to working with him regularly! It’s my first experience using Rover, and I’m really grateful we found Alexander!”
About: I love pets of all kinds, and find it very rewarding to gain their trust and make sure they are living their best life while their owner is away! I have experience with small to medium-large dogs since childhood, and had a senior cat for the last 5 years. I am good at picking up on body language queues or behavior changes, especially in more subtle and shy pets. I have lots of experience with administering medications, including with dogs suspicious of pill wrap and cats who have figured out all nicer methods besides the pill gun/liquid syringe. I occasionally travel for contract work, but keep my calendar religiously up-to-date and have plenty of daytime/evening availability! The more time in advance I get, the more likely I can plan around your pet's needs and ensure availability. I make sure to ask the important questions upfront so to minimally disturb your time away! I also have a sixth sense for when pets get into things they aren't supposed to, and if house-sitting am attuned to their (& your belongings' lol) safety!
“Anna is amazing with Chikoo! Anna is natural with dogs since she has had dogs since she was a child. She is caring yet firm with him. We absolutely loved her. Chikoo absolutely loves her. I feel that I can trust her 100% with him.”
“Another successful set of walks! Courtney has been an amazing and realible support for us in walking our fur baby Tofu. He always loves seeing her and comes back happy!”

Growing up, my home was always filled with joy and companionship from a variety of pets, from cute dogs to playful cats and even the occasional feathered friend. My sincere love for animals has only deepened over the years. Since I move a lot, I cannot afford to have my own dog, so I am ready to give warmth and care to your pet.

Mornings usually kick off with an energizing walk, followed by playtime in the afternoon. Evenings involve another stroll for some fresh air. Daily routines help establish a sense of consistency and comfort for the pets in my care, ensuring they receive the attention, exercise, and affection they need. Additionally, I work remotely and thats why I stay flexible and adaptable to accommodate each pet's unique needs and preferences.

“Jingjing is the best! We love her so much. Our dog Boomer can be a lot to handle but Jingjing always says she does well on walks 😂 we are very appreciative for the help with our pup!”
About: My first pet friend is a mixed breed puppy my grandma found on street. He used to be my best childhood friend. When I went to college, I started my volunteer work at animal care shelter. I worked four years caring all kinds of dogs and cats there. Not only I acquired professional pet caring knowledge, I also stay calm and being patient to our fluffy friends. I found my first kitty (2 months old) on street at 2020, now she’s happily and healthily living with my parents. I moved to CA for graduate school, now I adopted my second kitty! I always help take care of neighbors & friends’ pet (since high school!), you can find some cute pics here!!! I always get along well with fluffy friends! For energetic kiddos, I’d love to play with them! I wont rush or scare them if they’re shy! You can always trust me to be your pets’ friend! Monday, Wednesday, Friday and weekends: let me know your preference! My schedule is quite flexible! Tuesday, Thursday: Generally I’d be free after 5pm But feel free to reach out for your preferred time! I totally understand your first concern would be: will my pet be safe with you? Of course they will! I’m super cautious when it comes to your kiddos’ safety! If they’re a bit nervous, I’d never rush them! Take their time to take me as a new friend! Let me know your pets’ personality and we will get along super good! By the way, for their safety, I’d only take leash trained dog for outdoor walk! I’m sure you’d understand!
About: I’ve lived with dogs, cats, and birds throughout my life, and I have around 20 years of experience caring for parakeets and a Quaker parrot. My dog-walking experience has been occasional walks with friends’ dogs, mostly smaller pups, and I’m excited to spend more time getting to know dogs in my neighborhood! I already spend plenty of time out walking, so a friend suggested dog walking would be a natural fit. I’d love to give your dog some fresh air, exercise, and time to sniff and explore at their own pace. I’ll follow your instructions and pay attention to their comfort, energy level, and routine. I have a flexible weekday schedule, especially during typical working hours, so dog walks fit easily into my daily routine. I already enjoy getting outside for regular walks and would love to have a canine companion join me! My availability is primarily on weekdays, with limited weekend availability. For dog walking, I’ll follow your instructions for picking up and returning your dog, including securely locking up your home. Before our first walk, I’d like to learn about your dog’s leash manners, usual routine, triggers, and any special needs. I’ll make sure their leash and harness or collar are secure, keep them leashed, and adjust our pace to their comfort and energy level. Afterward, I’ll get them settled, check that they have water, and send you a brief update about our walk!
About: I’ve been caring for my own two cats and one puppy for the past 6 years, two of them adopted from the shelter. I deeply understand their personalities—from independent and curious to sensitive and shy. I’m patient, attentive, and very tuned in to subtle behavior changes. I also have experience with a rescue dog who struggled with anxiety, which taught me how important consistency, calm energy, and trust-building are. I’m comfortable taking things at the pet’s pace and creating a safe environment where they can relax. I truly love spending time with animals, and I think they can feel that. Recently, a neighborhood cat started coming to my door every night just to hang out and play—it’s one of my favorite parts of the day. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, or needs a little extra care, I’ll treat them with the same attention and warmth as my own. I work full-time during weekdays, but I have a flexible schedule and can work from home 2 days a week. I’m available for visits in the mornings, during lunch breaks, and in the evenings, and I’m more flexible on weekends. I’m reliable with timing and always plan ahead to make sure pets are cared for consistently. I live in a clean, quiet 2B2B home with my two cats, so I’m very mindful about keeping a safe and calm environment for animals. I always take time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs. In clients’ homes, I respect your space and follow your instructions closely—from feeding and litter/cleanup to walks and playtime. I’m especially patient with shy or anxious pets and focus on building trust at their pace. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos so you feel at ease while you’re away. I can drive and cover most areas in the South Bay.
About: I have grown up around dogs and have a genuine passion for their care and happiness. I have hands on experience caring for two dogs at the same time in a client's home, and have also assisted with dog care through my sister who is an experienced Rover sitter. I am an active person who loves running and walking so your dog will always get the exercise and attention they deserve. I believe dogs give back exactly what you give them, and I am committed to giving them love, patience and care every single day I am available anytime and can fit pet care naturally into my daily routine. I am student at foothil college As an active student I am out and moving every day, which means your dog will always have an energetic and attentive caregiver by their side. I treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether walking or doing drop in visits I stay fully focused on the pet at all times — no distractions. I am comfortable administering oral medication and can handle dogs of all energy levels including high energy breeds
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my compassionate, patient approach and real experience caring for pets at all stages of life. I stick to your pet’s schedule, making them feel safe, loved, and cared for—just like family I'm currently unemployed and Pet care is a part of my daily routine because animals bring me joy, structure, and purpose. I plan my day around their needs—whether that means early morning walks, regular feeding times, play sessions, or quiet cuddle time in the evening My goal is to make pets feel at home—safe, loved, and never stressed. I create a calm, clean, and secure environment where they can relax and feel at ease.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Loyola
Hanna has been incredible for us! She is so good with our dog, and was even able to get him to take his pills much easier than he does with us! She sends detailed report cards with lots of great pictures, and even included how our dogs poops we’re looking when he was having GI problems. We have absolutely loved Hanna and will be enlisting her help again!
Stacey has been walking our 9 year old shepherd mix breed dog Moka, for almost 2 years now. She is dependable, flexible and easy to communicate with. She had a natural way of being with Moka since the beginning and their relationship has grown. Moka always seems excited to see Stacey. Moka has some resource guarding and fear aggression tendencies with some other dogs. These have definitely simmered down with time and training but Stacey was receptive to our explanation of these and always responsible, patient and kind when walking and approaching other dogs. The "Rover Cards" we received after each walk were full of good details about her care and pictures of their walking adventures. We often had last minute scheduling needs due to the nature of my job and Stacey was always down to meet our needs. We feel so fortunate to have met and been working with her over the past couple years. We are moving out of country, Stacey has definitely set the bar high for our next dog walker! Highly recommend hiring Stacey for all your pet care needs. She's a gem.
Ho So did a fantastic job looking after our dog Ddoddo for a week. We are particularly appreciative of his flexibility, working around our unpredictable work schedules. He was always very communicative and consistently posted updates and pictures of his time with Ddoddo. We highly recommend Ho So to anybody and would definitely ask him for help again in the future.
Thu was fantastic with my dog. She was prompt, reliable, friendly and enthusiastic. She even took my dog on extra walks in order to provide him with play dates with other, safe and friendly, dogs. When I returned from my vacation, my dog looked happier and healthier than when I left. Can't say anything better than that. I highly recommend Thu
Katelyn has walked my dog several times and is really fantastic with my dog, Penny. Penny can be a little slow to warm up and Katelyn takes time to make sure Penny is comfortable on their walks. I get photo updates and a summary of how the walk went each time. She was flexible with me asking to change dates due to my work schedule, always arrived on time and communicated if there would be any changes to the time of the walks. Definitely would recommend her to others!

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Loyola. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
