About: I have a deep passion for all animals and a particular sweet spot for dogs. Growing up surrounded by pets gave me hands-on experience caring for everyone from energetic puppies to gentle seniors. In my previous roles as a nanny, my responsibilities often included caring for family cats and dogs, handling feedings, daily walks, and ensuring they remained happy and healthy. I also have specific skills for taking care of exotic pets, in particular pet rats, as I have two myself. Since I currently live in an apartment without the space for a dog of my own, I am looking for ways to spend more time with animals, as they bring me so much joy and keep me active. I am currently enrolled in an online school program and work a few evenings a week. This gives me a very flexible schedule with plenty of availability during the mornings and afternoons to dedicate to your furry friends. Your pet’s safety is my top priority. I ensure that our walks take place in parks or quiet areas away from heavy traffic. While in your home, I remain attentive and vigilant to ensure your pets are safe, comfortable, and well-supervised at all times.

“A big thank you to Jenna for helping keep Milo active during my long work days. I booked Jenna for two 1-hour walks and I could tell Milo had a great time with her. He was pleasantly exhausted from his active day.”

About: I create a calm, attentive environment where pets feel safe and relaxed. I host only 1–2 dogs at a time so each one receives plenty of personal attention. I’m certified in Pet CPR, Healing Touch for Animals, and Reiki, and I’m very tuned in to each pet’s personality and energy so they settle in quickly. I’m also comfortable caring for cats, administering medications when needed, and supporting senior pets with gentle care. Because I work from home, pets in my care are rarely left alone for long periods and receive plenty of attention, walks, and companionship throughout the day. When pets stay in my home, they become part of a calm and comfortable daily routine. I host only 1–2 dogs at a time so each pet receives plenty of individual attention. Dogs enjoy daily walks, playtime, and relaxed downtime, and I’m home much of the day since I work from home. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality and needs so they feel safe and settled. For drop-in visits or walks in a client’s home, I follow the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, fresh water, walks, litter care for cats, playtime, and companionship. I’m happy to send photo updates so owners know their pets are doing well.
“Telena was wonderful! She eased all of my nerves with a new fig that is an escape artist. She have regular updates a photos, she made sure our dog went to the bathroom, and kept her company when she was apprehensive and excitable. She’s a wonderful dog walker and sitter!”

About: I love dogs of all breeds and sizes and will treat them all like my own babies. I have previous experience caring for high needs pups, including a blind dog, physically disabled dog, and a dog recovering from spinal surgery. I also have experience administering subcutaneous fluids, and other medications as well. I have experience fostering dogs through rescue organizations, and my family, friends, and colleagues rely on me to watch their furry loved ones because I am dedicated to their happiness, safety, and overall well-being. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. Your dogs will never be left alone, and I can accommodate all feeding and bathroom schedules. I am available weekends, overnight, and typically all days of the week. If you want dogs kept off furniture, I’m happy to ensure they don’t get in the habit of jumping on the couch or bed. If you want to make sure they get extra spoiled, I’m just as happy to let them curl up on the bed. I have a big, fenced in back yard with lots of room to run and play, comfortable and cozy (and clean!) dog beds, and plenty of toys to go around. :) Wherever it’s drop in pet care, dog walking, or an extended house sitting booking, your animal’s safety and happiness is my priority. They will be fed according to schedule, always have clean water, and get exercise/play time and cuddles in! I will love your pet like it’s my own.
“Gerald has been a great dog walker/new buddy for our young almost 2 year old pocket/micro pit "Biggie". Biggie has lots of energy and gets a little wild sometimes but Gerald handles him well. Gerald has been great with keeping us updated with fun pictures and texts of their outings. I would highly recommend Gerald to care for your baby.”

“Great walker! Christopher was communicative and on time. He was excellent with our energetic puppy with some leash pulling issues. He followed instructions and gave the report that all went well! He’s confident with dogs, especially if they need some training reinforcement. Would totally work with him again!”

About: I grew up with different types of animals in my home. From dogs, birds, cats, to chickens, I’ve always had a love for any animal I come in contact with. I am very compassionate and detail oriented so I will make sure that your dog has an enjoyable experience with me. I work part-time, so usually 20 hours weekly. I can be available if needed with advance notice, and open to weekly drop-in visits or walks. I currently have three dogs, so my daily routine includes making sure they are well taken care of by ensuring their needs are met. I love taking walks, so having your dog will be an added bonus for me to get to know them!
“Stephanie was a wonderful walker for our two dogs while we were out of the country visiting my husband's parents. Very kind, communicative, and supportive with my mother-in-law who needed a little extra help and was watching our dogs for us. Highly recommend!”

About: Over the past four years, I’ve raised and trained my corgi, Milo, through both group classes and one-on-one sessions. This hands-on experience has taught me how to build trust, reinforce confidence, and provide attentive, compassionate care to dogs of all personalities. I'm currently in a hybrid Physical Therapy program which allows me to have a flexible schedule. This allows me the flexibility to provide care throughout the day. At my place, I make sure pets feel right at home. I keep things calm, cozy, and safe, with plenty of playtime, cuddles, and attention. I stick to their usual routine as much as possible—whether it’s feeding, walking, or nap time—so they feel comfortable and cared for.
“Natalie was great for my dog Buster who is newly adopted. She showed she was comfortable and confident right off the bat and I appreciated that. She really helped me out in a pinch!”

About: I grew up with German Shepherd mix (he was my brother since I’m an only child). I am reliable and I love treating the animals like they are my own! I work as a Realtor so my schedule has flexibility. Letting the dog out for potty breaks and getting walks is a breeze for my schedule. 3+ years on Rover and 10+ in caring for animals with my own business, I am a trusted pet care partner. Your pet’s safety is my #1 priority. I provide various updates, texts and photos. I secure all gates and doors before leaving.
About: Hi, I’m Joe — a lifelong dog lover who treats every pup like my own… right down to the love, the cuddles, and the occasional meatball. I’m home all day, so your dog gets constant attention, companionship, and plenty of affection. My home is relaxed and dog-friendly, with a big, fully fenced yard for safe play, sniffing adventures, and stretching their legs. Inside, pups can lounge wherever they feel comfortable — the couch, their bed, or right next to us. At night, everyone’s welcome in the bedroom, whether they prefer their own spot or decide mine looks more comfortable. (It usually does.) Being home all day means your dog gets frequent potty breaks, a calm routine, and tons of quality time. I send regular photo updates so you can see exactly how well your pup is settling in. Along with boarding, I also offer drop-in visits, in-home sitting, and dog walking, giving you flexible and reliable care options. If you’re looking for someone who will genuinely love, spoil, and treat your dog like family — with all the comfort and maybe a meatball or two — I’d be honored to welcome them. I am home full-time, allowing me to provide constant supervision and care. Pet care seamlessly fits into my routine through regular walks, attention, and companionship. In my home, dogs enjoy a large fenced yard, supervised play, and full comfort—allowed on furniture, loved like family, and welcome to sleep beside us.

Martinez dog parents share their Rover experiences
Michelle was great with our large dog who is a strong puller and can be hard to walk. There was good communication getting things set up and we felt comfortable leaving on our trip out of state. We would not hesitate to use Michelle again and would recommend her to our friends.

Telena does an amazing job walking our 4-year-old collie with back and hip issues, even in our very hilly neighborhood. She’s very sensitive to signs that he needs to stop and head home, and I know that he enjoys his walks because he gets excited every time her car pulls up. She has a true gift with dogs!
