“She did a great job - very timely, sent updates with pictures, and my dog seemed happy when I got home! She event went our of her way to help me put food out from inside, which I had forgotten to do that morning. Will be back for more business - thanks Krista.”
“Michelle is very communicative and professional. She took great care of Teddy and kept me updated throughout, which gave me so much peace of mind. It’s clear she genuinely loves and cares the dogs she works with. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her!”
“Artem is just fantastic! He is wonderful with my labradoodle, who is a 75lb 4 year old that acts like a puppy. He got to know her personality and sends me great videos and pictures of her walks.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, lizards, hamsters, birds and fish ever since I was a little kid! I love animals and they have always enjoyed my company as well. :) I am currently in-between jobs, and I can be available at any time in Los Altos, CA starting end of April! I look forward to being in contact! I will be able to provide your pet with any kind of service they need. This can range from walks, baths, meals and playtime! Let me know which service you would like me to provide!
“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.”
About: I have been caring for dogs since I was about 8, and being around them has always been a big part of my life. I grew up with a beagle, and now I share my home with a chihuahua mix and a labrador mix, so I’m familiar with the needs of both small and large breeds. Over the years I’ve helped neighbors, friends, and family with feeding, routines, and keeping their dog's company. Spending time with so many different dogs has helped me understand their personalities and make sure each one feels safe, comfortable, and supported. I’m currently taking online classes, and since those are fully remote, I have flexible availability throughout the day. I can easily fit in walks, drop‑in visits, or house sitting depending on what your pet needs. My schedule allows me to be reliable, responsive, and present for your pet’s routine. I prioritize safety and comfort during every walk, drop‑in, and house‑sitting stay. I follow each pet’s routine closely, use secure leash habits, and keep a calm, tidy environment in your home. I also care for two dogs of my own, keeping them on a consistent routine with daily walks and scheduled feeding, so I understand how important structure is for keeping pets happy and comfortable.
“Courtney has been great with my dog. She consistently walks her weekly and sends wonderful pics of her. I appreciate the consistency and how trustworthy she is with my dog.”
About: Since a very young age I have always wanted to get a dog, except it was not the easiest to convince my parents. Instead I would offer to walk and take care of pets from friends and family to prove that I could be responsible with pets. I would dog walk and board dogs from time to time, and now have picked up the amount of times that I would take care of these dogs. From more referrals to consistent clients coming back to me, I enjoy making these dogs happy as their owners may be away for some time. I currently work in Real Estate under an individual agent in Los Altos part time. I go to the gym in the early mornings where I usually walk or take them out to use the bathroom before leaving. If I need to go somewhere I will take them with them if they are willing to. If it comes to it, I will come back between errands to come let them out and check in on them. I have a fenced yard with a smaller dog who tends to mind her business, but will play with other dogs in the afternoon or early mornings. I make sure that the dogs I take care of need everything that they need from more than just the essentials.
About: I have experience caring for both dogs and cats of various sizes and temperaments, including large breeds like German Shepherds. I’m comfortable with daily routines such as feeding, walks, playtime, basic medication, and keeping pet areas clean. I am available in the mornings and evenings, sometimes could do afternoon playtime. I follow each pet’s individual routine and preferences and adjust timing as needed. I provide calm, reliable care in a safe, familiar environment for your pet, carefully following routines and instructions while keeping owners informed with regular updates.
About: I have years of experience with pet care! Worked in a Daycare/ Boarding/ grooming facility for 2 years! Have a big heart for all furr babies💕 My schedule is very flexible through the week, with it being so flexible I’m able to give all the time to your pet and its needs and more! Caring for pets in someone else’s home means following the owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding, exercise, and any special care needs. I make sure the pet has fresh water, a clean environment, and enough attention to stay comfortable and stress-free. I also respect the home by keeping it tidy, securing the space, and communicating any updates or concerns.
About: I grew up with my Cairn Terrier, Jayki that taught me everything to know about showering pets with tender loving care. Jayki has a mind of his own and meeting and caring for his friends' that I met at the park has allowed me to know how to care for dogs with all sorts of personalities. I am a 2nd year dental student that loves pets and walking. I am an early riser so early mornings are not a problem for me! I live in a neighborhood full of grassy spaces and trees so walks include frequent places for your doggo to sniff & mark their territory!
“Anahita is simply amazing! Our Aussie doodle, Honey, loved her and was eager to go on her daily walk. Anahita is going to be our number one go-to dog walker moving forward. Overall, Anahita is friendly, kind, punctual, caring, and communicative.”
About: Cats have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I'm the proud cat mom of Louie, who has been my companion for the past 15 years. During my time as a travel nurse, Louie and I spent eight years traveling the country together, which taught me a great deal about animal behavior, routines, and helping pets feel secure and comfortable. I'm a pediatric nurse by profession, so caring for others comes naturally to me. Friends describe me as dependable, patient, and nurturing—qualities that I bring to pet care as well. Although most of my experience comes from being a lifelong pet owner, I have also cared for friends' cats while they were away and understand how important it is to know your pets are in good hands. I especially love cats and understand their unique personalities, but I also grew up with a dog and enjoy spending time with dogs too. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you're away. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy and make time for in my weekly routine. My current work schedule is flexible, which gives me the opportunity to provide reliable care, attention, and companionship to pets throughout the week. I understand how important consistency is, especially for cats, and I strive to keep pets comfortable and happy while their owners are away. I believe pets are happiest when their normal routine is maintained, so I take the time to learn each pet's specific needs, preferences, and schedule. In a client's home, I provide feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, walks (if applicable), playtime, affection, and companionship while ensuring your pet feels safe and comfortable in their familiar environment. I am also comfortable administering medications to both cats and dogs according to owner and veterinary instructions. As a pediatric nurse, I am attentive to details, patient, and experienced with following care plans carefully. I understand the importance of consistency and monitoring for changes in behavior, appetite, or overall well-being. Having owned cats my entire life and cared for my cat Louie for the past 15 years, I understand that every pet has a unique personality. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, senior and in need of extra attention, or shy and prefers a quieter approach, I will adapt my care to meet their individual needs. I will also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away. My goal is to care for every pet as if they were my own—with patience, compassion, and plenty of love.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Loyola
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
Shannon has been walking our husky-malamute pup for over a month now and she is fantastic! She's always on time, easy to communicate with, and sends the best updates. She really listens to our pup's needs - like taking extra gentle care wiping his sensitive paw. We are so lucky to have her and cannot recommend her enough!
Caroline is an outstanding dog walker! She instantly built rapport with our dog Goldie and listened to my instructions (to not have her walk too close to other dogs).I felt Goldie was well taken care of during her walks. She also took and sent several photos. A+
Stacey came to our house to meet our somewhat tentative puppy before her first official visit. Our pup enjoyed her calm and kind personality. Stacey took her time with him on the first visit before taking him out on a walk. He looked very happy and at ease in the photos. I appreciate Stacey’s thoughtfulness and patience and look forward to having her back again.
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!
Madison walked our Shiba Inu, Kona, for five days in a row while my husband was away on a business trip and the kids were home for the holidays. So it was honestly such a big help. Already at the meet and greet, I had a really good feeling. And more importantly, Kona did too. He was super comfortable with Madison from the start. After every walk, he came back happy and totally content, which made me feel so relieved. Madison is kind, reliable, and just very easy to communicate with. By the end of the week, even my kids were excited to say hi to her when she arrived. We’re really grateful we found her and I would absolutely book her again anytime we need help with Kona. Highly recommend ❤️
Nuray was amazing, and I would recommend her to anyone in the area. From the very beginning, she was super friendly, responsive, and easy to communicate with. She sent tons of updates and photos and always replied quickly, which gave me so much peace of mind while Myka was in her care. I missed my girl a lot, and the continuous updates helped me so much, both in seeing her and knowing she was having a great vacation with Nuray! One thing that really stood out to me was how thoughtful and proactive Nuray is. When I mentioned that Myka is bloat-prone and Nuray wasn’t familiar with it, she immediately took the time to research it, ask questions, and make sure she fully understood how to give Myka the best and safest care possible. That level of effort meant the world to me. Since I mainly speak Swedish with Myka, Nuray even learned some Swedish to communicate better with her, which honestly blew me away. Myka also had an absolute blast! Nuray has access to a dog park where Myka got to run around and play with Millie (another dog who was there). They played fetch with her and sent pictures showing how much fun she was having. It was obvious that Nuray treats the dogs she watches like part of her family. And honestly, the pickup said it all. Myka started introducing me to everyone like she had already decided these people are now our family and they're coming with us home. That’s how comfortable and welcome Nuray made her feel. Myka got sad when she realized we weren’t staying there and even cried a little in the car as we were driving away. Nuray is kind, attentive, and genuinely cares. Your puppy will have an amazing time in her care and will truly be treated like part of the family. We will absolutely be booking with her again if I’m in the area!

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
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.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Loyola.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every walker on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Loyola. On Rover:
- 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
