“Tala is exactly what you want to find on Rover! Responsible, respectful and communicative. Took wonderful care of my cat, my home and my peace of mind while I was away!

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was a kid, and today I’m a proud dog mom of two! Over the past 4+ years, I’ve helped family, friends, and neighbors with walking, feeding, bathing, and even light training. I’m confident, calm, and patient—especially with anxious or high-energy dogs. I treat every pet like they’re my own, with love, attention, and respect for their unique needs and personalities. Whether your pup needs a gentle walk or lots of playtime, I’m here to keep them safe, happy, and loved.

I have two friendly dogs for company and I’m very in tune with each pet’s needs—whether they need space, playtime, structure, or snuggles. Your dog’s well-being is always my top priority. 🐾

Travis C.
“Travis is a perfect candidate to become a dog walker on Rover.com. Throughout our friendship both him and I have had pets and the attentiveness and care he gives to every animal is something truly heartwarming. Every animal he has owned in the past has always been cared for with a consistent positive attitude and this was reflected when witnessing the personality and hygiene of his animals. His kindness to animals transcends past his own as well. My dogs are always so excited when they get a glimpse of him walking towards my front door and even recognize his name when it is said. He is a natural born animal lover and his compassion towards all animals overflows. He would be a perfect dog walker for rover.com”

He picked up on my dog’s habits so naturally, it felt like they’d known each other forever. I really appreciated the attention to detail and the peace of mind while I was away. Thanks again, Avancon!”


RE B.
“I've had the absolute pleasure of knowing Ari for over 15 years, and I can wholeheartedly say that he is the epitome of a true pet lover and a responsible, caring individual. Ari's passion for animals, both with fur and feathers, is nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment I met him, it was evident that Ari had an innate connection with animals. He grew up in a household filled with pets, and his love for them has only grown stronger over the years. His own dog, whom he cares for with unwavering devotion, is a testament to his genuine affection and commitment. What truly sets Ari apart is his magnetic nature towards animals. It's as if they sense his gentle and loving energy and are drawn to him like a magnet. I've witnessed countless times how even the most timid or skittish pets quickly become comfortable and at ease in his presence. It's truly remarkable to see. Ari's enthusiasm for walking is another trait that makes him the perfect candidate for a dog-walker and pet-sitter. He doesn't view it as a job; it's a joy for him. He relishes the opportunity to take your furry friend out for a stroll, ensuring they get the exercise and attention they deserve. But perhaps what I admire most about Ari is his incredible sense of responsibility. He takes the well-being of animals entrusted to him very seriously. When your pet is in Ari's care, you can rest assured that they will receive the same love and care that he gives to his own beloved dog. Ari's unique connection with animals, his love for walking, and his unwavering sense of responsibility make him the ideal choice for a dog-walker and pet-sitter. If you want someone who will cherish and care for your pets as much as you do, Ari is the one you've been searching for. Your furry or feathered companion will be in the best hands possible, and you'll have peace of mind knowing they are receiving the utmost care and attention. I wholeheartedly recommend Ari for any pet-sitting or dog-walking job.”

Don D.
“I moved from SF to Orange County 5 years ago. My lovely Golden Retriever Dobbie was 1 year old. My job often kept me away on some weekday evenings and even some weekends. I met Don through an online pet sitting ad. The very first time I asked him to dog sit for the evening, I could already see the connection between my Dobbie and Don. When I came home, Dobbie ran to me with tail wagging as usual. But, to my surprise, Dobbie then turned around and ran to Don! Later, I started asking Don to dog sit for my Dobbie over those weekends that I had to be out of town....I often felt guilty for having my Dobbie but not being able to spend all my evenings and weekends with him. Don made my life a lot easier.”
