About: Easy going and adaptable dog walker with experience! Animal lover and grad student wanting to work on the side! Looking forward to meeting you and your pets! I am currently a full time graduate student which consists of a pretty busy schedule during the week but leaves the weekends very open. Also, on breaks, usually consisting of 4-6 weeks at a time, my schedule is wide open to accommodate a variety of dog walking needs. I have a fenced backyard with a moderate amount of space to run around. When dog sitting or walking, I always try to be aware and alert during social situations and pay attention to the needs of your dog while making sure they can get their energy out!

About: Hello! I’m a pet parent to three cats and a senior Yorkie, as well as a trained Doggy Day Out volunteer at SPCA Monterey County. I love taking care of pets and giving you peace of mind. I believe in treating pets with kindness and using low-stress, cooperative-care approaches whenever possible so they can feel safe and comfortable. I work from home, which gives me plenty of flexibility for drop-ins, dog walks, and house sitting. If you need extended daytime or evening care beyond a standard walk or drop-in, feel free to reach out to discuss custom pricing. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I will carefully follow your instructions, pay close attention to any changes in your pet, and provide clear updates. I also hold an online Pet CPR & First Aid certification through American Health Training and a certificate of completion for Fear Free Shelter Program training, which have helped me learn how to recognize common warning signs, reduce pet stress, and take appropriate next steps in a pet emergency.

About: I've been caring for animals for many years and have personally owned five beloved dogs throughout my life, including my current little companion Leo. All of my dogs lived well into their senior years, so I'm very familiar with the extra patience, gentleness, and care older pets need. I have experience caring for dogs and cats with medication schedules, mobility challenges, and special feeding routines. I've also provided overnight house and pet sitting for a home with three dogs and two cats over several years, making sure every pet received individual attention and care. I'm comfortable with dogs of all sizes and especially enjoy getting to know each pet's unique personality. I'm patient with shy or anxious dogs and work at their pace so they feel safe and comfortable. My goal is always to make pets feel calm, loved and well cared for while their families are away. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to provide dependable pet care throughout the day. I'm available for walks and drop-in visits in the mornings, afternoons, and evenings, and my weekends are usually open as well. I'm able to give pets plenty of attention during visits and can accommodate multiple visits per day when needed. I'm also happy to stay in local hotels with your dog while you go out and about! When caring for pets in a client's home, I always prioritize their safety, comfort, and routine. I take time to carefully follow each owner's instructions for feeding, medications, walks, and daily care so pets feel as relaxed and secure as possible while their families are away. I'm attentive to details such as making sure doors and gates are secure, leashes are properly fitted for walks, and the home is left just as it was found. I respect each client's home and privacy and treat it with the same care I would my own. I'm happy to schedule a meet and greet before new bookings so both pets and owners can feel confident their pets are happy and well cared for. If requested I'm glad to bring in mail or packages during visits.

About: Always had a love of animals cats and dogs. Pets are all lovable in their own fun and unique ways. I would one, guarantee your pet friends are looked after with the most care and attention and two keep, in close contact with you providing updates and photos throughout 🐕‍🦺🐈‍⬛🐾 On the weekends I’m the most flexible both during the day and night. Weekdays I’d be available 4pm and after for walks, drop ins or stays. I can’t provide lodging at the moment but regarding drop in or stays I’d treat anyone and anyone’s home as I would friends and family.

About: I have shared my life with pets for as long as I can remember and have always had a deep love and respect for animals. I previously worked as a 5-star Rover pet sitter before taking time away to care for my grandfather full-time. I’m now excited to return and build my Rover profile again. As a Doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine, I’ve had the privilege of working with people and, on occasion, supporting pets alongside their owners, including animals facing serious health challenges. Those experiences have strengthened my patience, compassion, and attentiveness. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, and birds of different ages and personalities, including senior pets. Whether it’s playtime, walks, medication, or simply providing comfort and companionship, I treat every animal with the same care and respect I would give my own. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know your pet is safe and happy. I work part-time with a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide dependable pet care throughout the week. I’m available for drop-in visits, dog walking, and house sitting, and I’ll always communicate clearly about my availability. I understand how important consistency is for pets and will follow your routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. I carefully follow your instructions, maintain your pet’s normal routine, and make sure they always have fresh food, water, exercise, and plenty of attention. I’ll provide regular photo and message updates so you can feel confident your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.

“Katt has been wonderful with our dog Luna! Luna is nervous around new people at first, and Katt made her feel super comfortable. She has been such a huge help!”

About: Aside from raising my own 2 fur babies ( 2 kitties now), I’ve helped take care of others’ pets from large Dobermans to small kittens. I also volunteer at a local animal shelter primarily walking and socializing with the big dogs. I lost my senior cat Meemow and senior dog Harley this year (both 15). As my title states, I’m an RN and am very comfortable with giving medications to fur babies (as I do with humans) as well as taking care of any illness issues within reason (wound care/ monitoring / accidents). When it comes to senior care of animals, I understand the need for them to get extra special love and attention, and medication to keep them as happy and healthy as possible. I believe in making pets as comfortable as possible and letting them know that I’m there to help and give love (if they want). When it comes to dog walking, I’m really vigilant about our surroundings and making sure that dogs get a good safe walk. I definitely gravitate towards animals over humans haha. I work part-time out of town, and so I have a lot of time spent at home with my own animals. I want to spend my time I have to help others too (hence also my volunteering at the animal shelter right now to). I prefer to spend time with pets as much as allowed in their home while also following routines previously set for them. Whether it’s playing out in the back yard, or just hanging out together on the couch or floor and relaxing, I like the pet to know that I’m there and not alone. If crating is necessary or part of the dogs routine, I can do that too.

“Natalie walked Oso twice and I was completely comfortable both times! She followed instructions and took the best care of Oso while we were out. Would def recommend to a friend! Thanks so much💛”

“Claudia is our first experience with Rover and because of her, we will definitely be using again! I received many updates and photos of our pup while in her care. She took Sabine our twice a day for 30 min walks and I feel like she was in excellent hands! Everyone who met Claudia had wonderful things to say about her. Would HIGHLY recommend!”

About: I have always had dogs in my life and can't imagine it without them! I currently have a 5 and a half year old Doberman who is my world! I'm comfortable with dogs of all sizes and enjoy getting to know each pet's personality so I can give them the best care suited to them. My goal is to make any pet feel calm, loved and well cared for. I'm currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to give your pet the attention they deserve! My schedule is very flexible, so I'm able to meet most scheduling needs. I can adjust to whatever the environment may be. If there is a fenced yard, great, if not we can figure out what the best option is!

About: I would love an opportunity to provide care for your pet. I have over 10 years of experience caring for pets, training, etc. so I am more than qualified to take care of your pet! I am planning on providing pet care as my job, so I am pretty available…I am interested in daily walks as well as overnight care.. I provide loving and nurturing care in the comfort of the pets home. I was a nanny so I am always mindful of keeping the home safe and tidy!

About: We always had pets growing up, when I moved out I missed having those loving beings around me, so I started petsitting. My clients and friends know me as a reliable, loving and caring person and trust me with their loved ones. I am self employed so I can create my own schedule. I am flexible and cater to the needs of my customer. I am sure we can work someting out. I will strictly obey the wishes of my client to make sure their pets are safe and well taken care of. However the clients handle the safety of their pets.

About: I love dogs! A few years ago I owned a puppy and named him puppy! Haha, Dog walking is so relaxing and proven to help lower stress! Amazing right? I love walking dogs, interacting, and also support my local dog walking welfare! I am one of the best dog walkers because I have great stamina (so I definitely keep up the dogs), very punctual and organized and have a flexible schedule. I also provided excellent customer service and am an honest and experienced worker that connects really well with dogs. Being a dog walker makes me thorough in carrying out my duties, so I take into consideration of all notes left for dog walkers like myself. I Hope to see you and your dog soon! I have experience providing attentive and compassionate care for a variety of pets, ensuring their daily needs are met in a safe, clean, and loving environment. My responsibilities have included feeding, providing fresh water, exercising, administering basic medications when instructed, cleaning up after pets, maintaining their routines, and offering companionship to help them feel comfortable while their owners are away. I understand the importance of being reliable, patient, and attentive to each animal’s unique personality and needs.
