“For a first time, Roovwr user, Daniel was excellent. Immediately responded great with the communication the whole time and was even easy on my dog for being a first time Rover user. Will definitely use again.”
“Michelle is on time and shows excitement to take Sage out on her walks. Sage in turn loves the walks with her. It's amazing the Michelle is able to do a mile with Sage, which wears her out.”
About: Hi! My name is Jack :) I have spent the past several years working as a veterinary technician, caring for animals in a professional medical setting. I have experience with puppies, kittens, senior pets, and pets with medical needs. I love building trust with animals and helping them feel comfortable and secure. My goal is to provide the same level of care and attention that I would want for my own pets, so you can travel with confidence knowing they’re in good hands. 🐾 I strive to be flexible and accommodate your pet’s routine as closely as possible. Whether your pet needs morning, afternoon, evening, or overnight care, I will work with you to ensure their feeding, exercise, medication, and enrichment schedules are maintained. Consistency is important for both cats and dogs, and my goal is to keep their day-to-day routine familiar and stress-free while you’re away. I am happy to discuss your pet’s specific needs and create a care plan that works best for them. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. As a veterinary technician with several years of experience, I am trained to recognize signs of illness, injury, or distress and respond appropriately. I provide a calm, patient, and low-stress environment tailored to each pet’s individual needs. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, senior, or requires medication, I will treat them with the same care and attention I give my own pets. You can expect reliable communication, regular updates, and peace of mind knowing your pet is being cared for by an experienced animal care professional.
“Emily is always available and super reliable, I can text her same day and somehow she always pulls through! She also is super patient with my puppies and cares! Would recommend”
About: Animals have always been a huge passion of mine, and I have 5 years of professional experience working in two dog kennels. Through my work, I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds, personalities, and energy levels while handling feeding, medications, potty breaks, cleaning, walks, and daily care routines. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, so I always focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while keeping owners updated along the way. I treat every pet like they’re my own! I currently have open availability, which allows me to fully focus on your pet’s care and routine while you’re away. Because I do not have another job at the moment, I’m able to provide plenty of attention, companionship, playtime, and consistency throughout the day. I’m flexible with scheduling and committed to making sure your pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for at all times. I currently offer care in clients’ homes so pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. I understand how important trust is when inviting someone into your home, and I always strive to provide respectful, dependable, and attentive care. I do have pets at home, but they are well cared for by my parents while I’m away caring for clients’ pets, allowing me to fully focus on the animals in my care. I prioritize safety, cleanliness, communication, and making sure every pet feels loved and comfortable while their owners are away.
“Zarah is punctual, communicates effectively, and keeps me informed about my dogs’ walks. I can clearly see her dedication and care for my pets. I highly recommend her to look after your pets too!”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs of different ages and personalities. I currently have two spayed female cats, ages 5 and 10 both are good with other animals, and previously cared for our family Morkie for many years who has since passed. I’ve also helped care for my dad’s Golden Retriever with walks, feeding, playtime, and daily routines. Being around animals has always been a meaningful part of my life, and I genuinely enjoy creating a calm, safe environment where pets feel comfortable and cared for. ✨ I work from home and have a flexible schedule through my small business, which makes it easy for me to provide attentive and reliable pet care throughout the day. 🐾 I focus on creating a calm, clean, and comfortable environment where pets can feel safe and relaxed. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, playtime, and any specific routines their pet is used to. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of both the space and the pet’s routine to help minimize stress while their owner is away. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel reassured and connected throughout the stay. I understand that every pet has a different personality and comfort level, so I always approach them with patience, attention, and gentle care.
“Danny is really kind and says to communicate with. He has walked and cared for our senior pup both last minute and long term. We feel safe having him watching our dog and recommend!”
“Izabella took great care of our dog - Chevy while we were away. She was punctual and always communicated with us about how Chevy was doing. Would definitely recommend her to take care of your pets!”
“Julia is awesome! My super quirky pups trusted her right away and she got lots of kisses from Jack immediately. Already discussed future walks! Thank you, Julia!”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was a kid. I love all breeds but I'm especially experienced with flat-faced dogs, having owned an English Bulldog and three Pugs. I can clean their wrinkles and ears, soak their paws, get rid of tear stains, keep them cool, etc. Please reach out with any questions, I'd love to meet you and your dog! I’m consistently available on weekends as well as periodically throughout the week. I can provide overnight in-home services at your location on a limited basis. From overnight companionship for anxious dogs to long runs with energetic pups, I’ll do my best to meet the needs of both you and your pets.
About: I've grown up in a household always surrounded by any type of pet. I have never gone without a dog, cat, and a bunny to love and be there for. I provide patient and attentive care to truly treat every pet like family. I have experience caring for young kids and their pets through years of nannying and housesitting. I understand that each pet has a different personality and comfort level, so I always adjust my care to meet their individual needs. I'm especially good with high energy pets who need play and attention as well as shy animals who need a gentle and consistent approach to feel safe. I'm very comfortable following detailed routines and administering medications in care for both young and senior pets. My goal is to make all pets feel safe, loved, and stress free while their owners are away. I'm currently in my hometown from college and am working as a camp counselor. I absolutely adore all pets and have much free time. I am available in mornings and afternoons to walk and care for your pets. I am also available weekends and breaks to be there for your animals during your time away from them. I am currently not available for boarding in my home, since I do have two dogs and a cat that don't like sharing their space with other animals. I am fully available to take care of your animal in their own space in whatever way feels comfortable to them and you.
“Shirley is wonderful with our dogs and always goes above and beyond to make sure they are happy and healthy while we are away. She has great communication skills and very reliable!”
About: With over 30 years of experience in pet care, I have a deep-rooted passion for handling large and dominant breeds. Growing up with an Argentinian Dogo kennel in Spain and later in Puerto Rico, I was raised around powerful breeds like Dogo Argentinos and Rhodesian Ridgebacks. Throughout my life, I’ve also cared for Bulldogs, Labradors, and currently own an American Staffordshire Terrier. I also provide expert care for trained German Shepherds. My extensive experience ensures that your beloved pet will receive confident, compassionate, and knowledgeable care. As a part-time actor and martial artist in Florida, and a part-time Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu instructor, I have a flexible schedule that allows me ample time to provide personalized care for your pups. I’m dedicated to spending quality time with them, whether it’s visiting their home or taking them for walks. I prioritize creating a safe and comfortable environment for your dog by maintaining open communication and respecting your home’s routines. With over 30 years of experience with various dog breeds, I build trust through patience, consistency, and genuine care. Whether walking your dog or spending time at your home, I ensure that your pet feels secure and loved.

Monterey dog parents share their Rover experiences
We met Erin during a meet & greet for the first time… & from that moment I knew my pups were in great hands! Especially because my sweet old girl loved her (I’ll always trust her judge of character). Erin took great care of my senior babies on a walk through the neighborhood & backyard time. We already have Erin booked for another drop in…. 10/10 recommend!!
Mallory was awesome. This our first time with Rover and really lucked out with Mallory. Our schedule changed at the last minute and she was able to accommodate and really seemed to connect with our pup. Took him on several walks during the day and got pictures every time. Would highly recommend Mallory and will use her again.
Isabella is great! My dog, Maui, was recently rescued and has been struggling with his adjustment to his new home. Isabella has been patient and incredibly helpful in providing some stability and routine — and I absolutely love the mid-day pictures she sends of my sweet boy! I look forward to continuing to work with her!
Meghan has been absolutely wonderful with my dog Charlie! She’s been walking him every day at noon this past week while I’m at work, and I couldn’t be happier. She’s reliable, communicative, and clearly cares so much about the dogs she walks. Charlie is always happy and relaxed after their walks, and I really appreciate the consistency and peace of mind she provides. It’s such a relief knowing he’s in great hands every day. I would highly recommend Meghan to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring dog walker!
We are so grateful for Valerie! She took such wonderful care of our sweet Tundra while we were out of town. Valerie always kept us updated, which gave us so much peace of mind. You can tell she truly loves animals — Tundra looked so happy and at ease with her. Knowing she was safe, loved, and well cared for made our trip so much easier. We would absolutely recommend Valerie to anyone looking for a trustworthy, kind, and attentive pet caregiver. Thank you, Valerie! 💛🐾
Alyssa came to walk my two pups at a very short last minute notice and she was INCREDIBLE! She walked them and sent me photos of their walk as well as updates on how they were doing during her visit. I couldn’t have gotten any luckier when finding someone to care for my boys. I highly recommend Alyssa and I can’t wait for her to be back to hangout with my boys again!!
