“Max is amazing! I reached out to him needing a last minute walk for our dogs and he made himself available right away. He is so attentive and truly cares for animals like they are his own. 10/10 absolutely recommend!”

About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was 10 years old, starting by helping my parents with there pet-sitting. By the time I turned 14, I began pet sitting on my own, and I’ve been trusted ever since. Neighbors, friend, and family rely on me to walk, feed, bathe, and look after their pets like they’re my own With years of hand-on experience, I understand how important it is to keep pet safe, happy, and comfortable. Whether it’s daily walks, drop-ins, or full-time care, I’m committed to giving every pet the attention and love they deserve. My schedule is flexible, and I’m available throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting. I plan my days around the pets I care for, making sure they get consistent attention, timely feedings, and regular outdoor time. Whether you need early-morning help, mid-day visits, or evening care, I work to accommodate your routine and keep your pet’s day running smoothly. Safety is always my top priority. I make sure every pet is supervised, secure, and cared for according to their routine and needs. I follow instructions closely, keep environments clean, and pay attention to details so pets stay comfortable and stress-free. Families, neighbors, and friends have trusted me for years because I treat every animal with patience, respect, and consistency. Your pet’s well-being comes first, and I work hard to create a calm, safe environment they can relax in.

About: I provide safe, reliable, and loving care for your dog like they’re my own. With over 15 years of experience, I’ve worked with puppies, senior dogs, and dogs with special needs. I’ve also rescued dogs and helped find them loving homes, giving me real hands-on experience with different temperaments and behaviors. Your dog will be in a calm, clean, and structured environment with: • A fenced yard for safe play • Daily walks and exercise • Lots of attention, love, and supervision • Experience with potty training and leash training I also have knowledge from veterinary assistant training, so I’m comfortable with medications and special care if needed. I understand how important your pet is to you, so I always keep communication open with updates and photos for peace of mind. My goal is simple: To make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’m currently an Esthetician that works from home so I’ll have plenty of time to spend with your pups. Plus my children and I take walks twice a day in my neighborhood. I have a fence in yard and a min dachshund to play with your furry friend. Can crate dog if needed. Dogs are allowed in my house if they are well behaved.
About: Hello, Rover. I’ve got some extra time on my hands and I’d love to watch or walk some dogs. If you are interested do not hesitate to reach out. I look forward to any and all future prospects. I work from 8am to 3pm so anytime before or after is no problem. I am completely free Saturdays and Sundays as well as summer and winter breaks. I’m available for drop ins or longer stays. I require at least an hour notice of your return so I know exactly when it’s ok to leave. You may simply message me that you are on the way back. If you give me a key please specify if you’d like me to put it under a mat or hand it to you directly. I will honestly just cuddle and sit with your pet so I offer near constant supervision. I can easily crate your pet if needed as well. I will say I do not do well with very large very hyper dogs unless they are well trained.

About: From the moment I was born, we always had a dog growing up. In 2013, I got my very own pitbull puppy and she quickly became my best friend. She walked on my journey with me for 10 years. Through changing cities, college, careers, and becoming a mother to two daughters, she was the best thing that could have ever happened to me. Our pets truly become apart of the family. It is important for us to show them everyday how much we love and cherish them while they are walking on our journey. Finding the right person couldn’t be more important. I am a stay-at-home mom of two daughters. Our days are usually spent outdoors going on walks, local hiking trails or cool parks. As the weather is getting cooler, we always welcome a furry friend to cuddle on the couch while watching movies and sipping hot cocoa. Opportunities for pet care is important for us as part of life teachings and my daughters take the task very seriously. My home has a large fenced backyard. They have the opportunity to stay inside the home or roam freely outside. We have a doggy door for easy access but are more than willing to open the back patio door each time if they do not know how to use the doggy door. Inside your home, I can tailor to your needs without any issues.

“Summer was an excellent dog walker for us. She used her time to meet Dulce before she walked her. This was much appreciated. The 4 days she walked Dulce she was responsible and communicated with me after the walk. Dulce also enjoyed her!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Modesto
Michelle is absolutely wonderful with Preston! I always feel comfortable knowing he is in her care. She is dependable, attentive, kind, and clearly has a genuine love for dogs. She takes such great care of Preston and gives me real peace of mind. It means so much to have someone I can trust with a member of my family, and Michelle consistently exceeds my expectations. Preston is always happy and well cared for, and I highly recommend Michelle to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker/companion.

Kaiti is very prompt, communicative, professional, and loves our Gouda boy! She always arrives on time, provides a detailed summary of the time she spent with our little guy, and lots of pictures! We will definitely be repeat customers! If you haven't hired Kaiti yet what are you waiting for?!

Alora was great with my dog. She connected easily and with confidence. Alora was prompt, stayed in communication, and was flexible when I requested a change in our original plan. I enjoyed meeting her during my short stay in Modesto, and I have recommended her to my family members who live there.

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.
