“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!”
“Milo loved his first walk with Kaitlyn. She was very nice and understanding of the fact that he jumps on people and still has a lot of puppy energy. I’ll definitely be rebooking.”
About: I've always had dogs and crate trained my dogs. I know how to train basic commands but nothing really beyond that. I do love playing with dogs and also relaxing with them as well. I do work full time but I do work from home most of the week. So my schedule is pretty flexible for the most part. I have a fenced yard, and 4 friendly dogs. We do have 2 cats but they stay outside as they don't like our dogs. I make sure the the pet I babysit is comfortable and listen to instructions on the owners requests.
About: I’ve cared for animals for most of my life and have always been someone friends and family trust with their pets. I’m calm, patient, and attentive, and I take the time to understand each animal’s personality and needs. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, and maintaining routines so pets feel safe and secure while you’re away. Whether a pet is energetic, anxious, or more independent, I adjust my approach to what works best for them. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I aim to provide dependable, gentle care every time. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets consistent attention and care throughout the day. I’m available for drop-ins, walks, and house sitting, and I pride myself on being as reliable and communicative as possible. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and can adjust timing as needed to help them feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I focus on creating a calm, safe, and respectful environment for every pet. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding routines, medications if needed, and any specific preferences your pet has. I’m attentive to behavior and body language, especially with shy or anxious animals, and I always prioritize their comfort and safety. I also respect your home and space, keeping things clean and secure while you’re away. I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands!
About: I’ve always been an animal person! I have always cared or taken care of animals ever since I can remember. From babysitting, feeding, or just potty breaks and some love ! Everything above. I am a stay at home mom so with that being said I am home all day and have all the time to love and care for your fur babies. I call it a FUR-cation :) I have a Frenchie named Memphis that is my baby and with me being able to animal sit he gets a friend with it. It’s a plus on both ends(:
About: Growing up with animals my whole life I’ve always had a fond love of my pets. I’ve watched numerous family and friends animals while they were away and loved spending time with every one of their pets. I furthered my education by obtaining a bachelors degree in animals science and working in vet medicine, it’s to safe to say it’s my passion! Can’t wait to meet your beloved pets! My schedule is flexible enough to maintain your pets normal routines and schedules! Other than work my priority would be your pets! I have a strong love and passion for taking care of animals and take pride in giving the best care to your pets while you’re away! Having 2 dogs and 2 cats of my own, I understand just how important our pets are and how we love them like family. I am passionate about providing the best care for your pets as I would care for my own. I strive to ensure your pets are provided for in the best way possible that fits all your needs and provides comfort and peace of mind to you and your family.
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.
About: I've always loved taking care of animals. When I was little I had big plans of having a shelter for dogs, cats and horses. I had even planned out the cost. Two neighborhood cats took shelter in our home and garage had three litters with us, that had further sparked my young passion for pet care. Later in life I had taken care of neighbors and families pets. I also worked with and assisted a woman with a dog grooming service (and the occasional cat) which taught me a lot more about animal temperament and handling. I adore animals and would be honored to give your fuzzy friends my best care! I work part time at TJ Max I get my work schedule a week ahead and normally im scheduled for 1 to 2 days for 4 hour shifts. If I were to pet sit for you I would only need be away for 5 hours at a time if I'm shecduled (considering drive time). I am starting school this fall working toward becoming a nurse, so being able to work with animals in the meantime is a blessing. Through the week I care for my cat she is very important to me. In my experience every animal has their own routine they need to feel comfortable, and I am happy to learn and apply it to give the best care possible!
“Katie was super great with our 7 month old pup. Artemis came back super happy! I was especially grateful that Katie was ok with our last minute booking. Overall would definitely use her again for future walks!”
About: I’ve been a per sitter for over 10 years and have experience caring for older cats and dogs as well as watering plants, getting the mail, and giving pills. I have cared for many dogs, cats, rodents, and even ducks! I’m available to care for your furry family members, and will spoil them with attention. I can pill them, feed them, tire them out in the backyard or on walks, anything to make them (and you!) happy while you’re away. I’m happy to do anything I can to make your pet happy and ensure they have a good time! I am passionate about providing the best care possible for your animals. I am available weekdays, weekends, and holidays so no matter where life takes you, you know your pets are safe and comfortable at home with me. I will stay overnight in your home to make it lived in and to keep your pets comfortable in their own home. I take careful notes and send you updates and can learn your security system.

About: I have always had a passion for animals, dogs in particular! Over the last 12 years I have worked as a bather, in veterinary reception and for eight years I ran the office for a pet resort. During my time at the resort I was able to interact with our guests, provide them with a safe environment and earn the trust of many families with our quality of care. I organized several unique opportunities for our clients to pamper their pooches including our annual Halloween Party complete with costume contest, our Thanksgiving lunches and pictures with Santa! I understand how important pets are to their families because I know how important ours are to us. Because of this understanding and experience I could be a great fit for your pet care needs! I can't wait to hear from you and meet your furry family members!

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.

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 Modesto. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins.

This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

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.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
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.
