About: Hi Pet parents! My name is Sophie and I’ve been a dog owner for all 19 years I’ve been alive - using all of that time to gain experience walking, taking care of, cleaning up after, training, and ensuring the safety of my pups. I’m comfortable with any size level and activity level- I’ve seen it all! I also have experience house sitting and taking care of friend’s/family’s pets while they are away. I’m looking to take care of some animals while I’m home from college for the summer because it’s what I do best! Thank you for entrusting me with the health and needs of your baby 🩷 I’m a college student who is home for the summer! I’m not working any jobs outside of this, so I can give your pup all of the love and attention and exercise they deserve! I have a fenced yard so there is no risk of running into the road and a large house/yard for the dogs to play around in. I have a 10 year old Boston terrier who is extremely friendly and she loves making new friends! If your dog doesn’t work well with others, I have enough space to separate them completely and comfortably.

About: Over the past 7 years, I have had the incredible opportunity to walk and sit for dogs of all shapes, sizes, and breeds. From energetic pups to laid-back seniors who prefer a leisurely stroll. I am reliable, responsible, and trustworthy, and I take great pride in the trust that pet owners place in me. I would be thrilled to have the opportunity to care for your beloved pet and treat them as my own. I also have a dog-walking business license. My husband & I are both self-employed, so our schedules are flexible, we have plenty of time to take care of your pet and always have someone at home. I don’t have a yard, but I do have a balcony and deck. I have a child who loves playing fetch and running with the dogs. Additionally, I walk my clients’ dogs 3 times a week, so I can take your pet on a long walk with others. If needed, I can also run your dog or play fetch in the park or on the beach. I can also crate your dog if necessary.

Thomas has been a life saver for us with our dog Guinness. He is always on time, he is reliable, he is patient with our somewhat moody, large dog, and he has become our regular walker 3x per week. Thomas is super responsive to messages and seems to genuinely enjoy spending time with Guinness. I highly recommend Thomas !

About: Lifelong dog owner experienced caring for dogs at every stage of life, from puppies to senior dogs with ongoing health needs. Comfortable with medication routines, special diets, and following detailed care instructions. I provide attentive, reliable care focused on keeping each dog safe, comfortable, and well looked after. Pet care fits into my daily and weekly routine as my primary focus right now. I’m currently dedicating my time to building consistent availability for walks, drop-ins, and sitting, and I plan my schedule around each booking to ensure reliable, attentive care. This allows me to be flexible, responsive, and fully present for each pet I’m caring for. I care for pets in a way that prioritizes safety, routine, and comfort in their familiar environment. In a client’s home, I follow all provided instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medication routines, walk guidelines, and house rules to keep the pet’s routine as consistent as possible. I take time to understand each pet’s temperament, energy level, and needs so I can adjust my approach accordingly, whether that’s a calm drop-in visit, an active walk, or extended sitting care. During walks and potty breaks, I stay attentive to surroundings, use secure leashing at all times, and avoid risky interactions with unfamiliar animals. For drop-ins and sitting, I focus on companionship, play, feeding, and maintaining cleanliness, including litter boxes or accident cleanup as needed. My goal is always to provide calm, reliable care that keeps pets safe, comfortable, and stress-free while their owners are away.

About: I have loved animals all my life. I have a special place in my heart for all animals. I have owned and taken care of animals for 40 years. I have a way about myself that puts animals on ease and makes them feel welcome. I can not wait to take the best care of your loved and cherished pet. Thank you for your consideration. I am currently on a sabbatical so I have plenty of time to pet sit. I am available weekends, evenings, and mornings. I am available for long-term arrangements. I have a small fenced yard and I love to go on long walks. I give pets lots off affection and attention if they want it. I also just let them relax if that is what they need. Either way I am a very attentive caretaker.

Lydia is great! She helped us walk Nova while we were on a trip and had my mom staying with Nova. My mom cannot handle Nova due to her reactivity to other dogs, squirrels, and cats. Normally they would just play in the back but our yard was too flooded to permit it. Lydia jumped in to help on very short notice and in the middle of some crazy weather. She was punctual and took Nova out on a different walk each morning that we needed her. She is communicative, responsible, and took good care of our spoiled princess baby. I highly recommend her!

About: I've fostered dogs in my home and cared for dogs and cats in other people's homes and am excited to do more of both! I got into housesitting several months ago and love getting to spend focused time and attention on animals while their people are away. While fostering dogs, I worked on light training - improving walking manners, comfort with strangers, and basic commands. I cared for my dogs for a few weeks to several months until they were adopted and loved getting updates from their new families about their progress. I make time for your animals as they need it! I work part time, which allows plenty of time for walks, playing fetch, cuddle sessions, and on-time meals. If temperament allows, I’ll take your pup with me to dog-friendly spots in town and along longer walking paths and trails. I'm new to California and settling in the area. I'm excited to explore different neighborhoods, meet cool people, and spend time with your furry friends. If I’m staying in your home, I’m in your best friend’s space. Whatever they’re used to, is what they’ll get, whether that’s permission (or not) to get on furniture, sleep with me in bed, and set our walking schedule.

Good communication and sense of humor. Accommodated my dogs needs even if they didn’t fully align with the Rover plan. I booked a walk but my girl decided she didn’t want to and Leslie hung out with her in the yard and gave her cuddles and attention instead.

Sarah was excellent to work with -- communicative, friendly, and great with our girls. They are each 40lbs of energy and not the easiest to control sometimes -- but she worked with them to earn their trust and be their walk leader. Additionally, even though most of the walks were scheduled during a heat wave, zero complaints from Sarah, and she smartly knew to make the sure dogs didn't get overheated by limiting the distance and making sure they had water. Highly recommend her for anyone who is looking for a conscientious person to take care of their pets!

Tyler G. did an excellent job walking my dog! He was very polite, prompt, dependable and kind. My dog enjoyed the walks Tyler took him on, and I could tell my shy dog really liked going with Tyler. Tyler spoke so nicely to my dog. followed the routine I asked him to, and he gave my dog pets and his dog treats. I highly recommend Tyler G. for caring for your pet’s needs. -Polly
