About: Hi! My name is Cyn, and I’ve been caring for pets consistently since 2022, both through Rover and privately, with several returning clients each year. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always prioritize their comfort, safety, and happiness. I have experience with crate training, basic commands like sit, and leash walking. I truly love dogs and animals of all kinds, and I enjoy providing loving, reliable care while owners are away. I’m available nearly full-time and am a part-time online student, which gives me a flexible schedule so I can focus my attention on your pets. If allowed, I’m happy to provide basic baths at no extra cost so your pet can go home feeling clean and refreshed. I’ve grown up around animals my whole life and currently have pets of my own. I also offer drop-in visits and will always follow your instructions closely while keeping you updated. Thank you for considering my services — I’d love the opportunity to care for your fur baby! I’m available full-time for pet care with a flexible schedule. The only time I'm restricted until may 30 is Monday evenings from 6 to 9 I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment while following all owner instructions carefully. I supervise playtime, respect routines, offer crate care if needed, and send updates so owners feel comfortable and informed.
About: I have been working in the animal care field since 2018. I have held a variety of positions, from veterinary assistant to pet sitter, and have learned so much along the way. This has included administering medicine, grooming, training, courses on animal body language, first-aid and dog CPR. Beyond work: I grew up with and around both dogs and cats and always took part in caring for them. I can't remember a time I didn't have a passion for all creatures, great and small <3 As it is, my schedule is very open and flexible. I will be able to easily fit your pets needs in to my daily routine. I do my best to care for and love your animals the same as you do, and am respectful of your home and your privacy.

About: With years of hands-on experience, I provide exceptional care for dogs of all ages—from energetic puppies to senior companions—while also maintaining homes with the highest attention to detail. I go beyond basic feeding and walks, offering personalized care, consistent routines, and genuine companionship to keep your pets happy, healthy, and stress-free. From managing medications and special diets to keeping your home secure and organized, I treat every house and pet as if they were my own. My combination of reliability, experience, and heartfelt care ensures peace of mind for owners and comfort for pets, making me a trusted choice for discerning pet parents. Pet care is an important part of my daily and weekly routine. I provide feeding, walks, playtime, and attention for dogs, as well as care and companionship for cats, including medications and special needs. I also maintain the home—tidying, watering plants, bringing in mail, and keeping everything secure. I work part-time, so I can provide care most days after 2 PM, with some earlier availability depending on the day. My goal is to create a happy, consistent routine for pets and a worry-free experience for their owners. When caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s, I prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness. I follow their established routines for feeding, walks, playtime, and any medications or special needs.

About: I've had animals all my life. I've cared for neighbor's pets since I was little and I have experience with animals of all sizes, from hamsters to horses! I have small pet, herp, and invert experience as well. I'm dedicated to providing the very best care for your pets! I have a flexible work schedule that allows me plenty of time to ensure your animals are perfectly cared for!

About: I’ve cared for dogs my entire life. I’ve had a number of pets including small, medium, and large dogs, cats, fish, and reptiles. From dog sitting while my parents were on vacation, to helping my girlfriend with pet sitting through Rover, I enjoy caring for dogs and showing them compassion. Animals usually warm up to me quickly. I think it’s the beard. My friends and family call me the animal whisperer, but I just really enjoy caring for animals. I work for the Post Office. I am usually working Monday-Saturday with the average hours being around 5-8 a day. Some days I am off by early afternoon, leaving the day open for me. I have a girlfriend who loves animals as well. She has the weekends off and can be home before most evenings. We take pride in our care.
“Alisa was above and beyond the best dog walking experience I could have ever hoped for! My boy Porter absolutely loved her from day one! Alisa is very sweet and very prompt with her responses, and she made me feel at ease with her daily updates and photos of Porter. Thank you so much Alisa, you are absolutely wonderful!!”

About: Important: Rover wont let me change it but i cant watch animals at my home due to landlords policy.I have taken care of birds, rodents, dogs, cats and reptiles. I love animals and I tend to be a quiet person so animals tend to like that lol. My own pets have been rats, a dog named Sachi, and a hamster named Theodore. I sometimes take care of my roommates lizard, a bearded dragon named Goro. I currently dont have any pets. I have open availability since I am currently unemployed, but I am searching for full time work. I can be up as early as 6am. I usually am wary of things like wires and other electronics, and I never leave food out in the off chance some furry creature might eat it.
About: I’ve cared for seniors, puppies, post surgeries, mischievous kitties and extra needy pets of all kinds ☺️ years of working with horses, living with my anxious chihuahua mix, and helping to raise the chunky pitties in my life has prepared me for almost every situation. I’ll keep a cool head and stick to your instructions while showering lots of love on your furry family member. I grew up around cats, dogs, horses, and birds! My love for animals knows no bounds, and I’m always the one getting distracted by a cute dog on the sidewalk (or TikTok). I’ve had great experiences booking care for my own dog through Rover, and I understand how hard it can be to find and trust the right person when we have to be away from them! My hope is that we can work together and create the best plan for keeping your furry kids happy and safe. I keep communication open and often so that we are all comfortable and on the same page. I pay attention and meet your pet where they’re at so we can build our own trusting and loving bond. I work remotely from home, so I can be flexible to meet your needs. My partner and I work together to ensure our own dogs are cared for, comfortable, and get lots of sniffing time outside. I’d love to speak with you about the best way to accommodate your schedule. I prefer to meet with you and your pet before scheduling a service to ensure that everyone is comfortable. I like to take the opportunity to ask any clarifying questions and walk through expectations so that there are no gray areas about the best ways to care for your pet and keep them safe.

About: Your pet’s new best friend is here! 🐾 I love staying active, going on walks, and giving pets all the attention they deserve.

I’m free just tell me your needs and how I can assist you and your amazing fur babies and how I can show them as much love as they deserve I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment for every pet in my care. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any medical requirements. Pets are never left unattended for long periods, and I make sure they feel comfortable and secure. I’m attentive to behavior changes and prioritize their safety at all times, whether in my home or a client’s home.
About: What sets me apart? I bring a mix of love, patience, and plenty of experience to every pet I care for! Whether it’s keeping up with energetic puppies, giving extra TLC to senior pets, or making sure everyone sticks to their routine (treats included, of course!), I’ve got it covered. Need meds given? No problem. Litter box deep-cleaned? Consider it done. Walkies or runs to get the energy out- even bettter (we can get fit together). My goal is to make sure your pet feels happy, safe, and totally spoiled while you're away—because they deserve nothing less! Pet care fits into my routine seamlessly since I work from home and have a somewhat flexible schedule! This allows me to adapt to your pet’s needs—whether they thrive on a set routine, need a midday walk, or just want some extra attention while you’re away. I can easily adjust my day to make sure they’re well cared for, comfortable, and happy. Plus, with me around, they’ll never feel lonely! 🐾💕 I provide a safe, comfortable, and pet-friendly environment for all my furry guests! I have a fully fenced-in backyard for playtime and fresh air, plenty of indoor space to relax, and even a large crate if needed. Your pet will also have some built-in company—I have three friendly cats and a dog of my own, so they’ll always have buddies around (unless they prefer their own space, which I totally respect!). Whether they love to run, lounge, or just get some extra snuggles, I make sure every pet feels right at home. 🐾💕
About: I’ve taken care of animals professionally since I was 15, and I’ve also cared for friends and families pets since I was 10. I’ve worked with animals of all ages, as well as ones that are disabled or need medication. I highly enjoy being around animals. My pets are my world, and I love meeting new animals and being able to care for them. I recently graduated from college and I’m currently working as I’m waiting for admission into the nursing program. I am looking to do something I love and to help others with their life at the same time. I usually will be working every Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday from between 5:30am-12:30pm, but morning drop-ins before work shouldn’t be an issue and I can also drop in after work. I’ve had multiple pets in the past. I currently have one cat named Thumper. I enjoy spending time with her and taking her on walks, as she is very curious. She has brain damage as well as very bad anxiety, so she does require more care than normal. She also gets oral medication everyday for her anxiety so she can stay calm and not feel stressed all of the time.

About: About Me Hi! My name is Jalyssa, and I’m a 19-year-old Animal Science major currently in college with a huge passion for animal care and wellbeing. I’ve grown up around animals my entire life and have years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages. I’ve had my own dog for 15 years, where I was actively involved in daily care, training, feeding, walking, grooming, and making sure all of their needs were met. Along with caring for my own pets, I also have experience pet sitting for others and helping raise puppies and kittens, so I’m comfortable with animals that need extra patience, attention, and routine. As someone studying Animal Science, I genuinely love learning about animal health and behavior, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, cuddles, feeding, or just someone reliable to keep them company, I’m dedicated to making them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. As a college student currently on summer break, I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I’m looking for something productive that keeps me busy while also allowing me to do something I genuinely enjoy — spending time with and caring for animals. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my top priority. I make sure pets are always supervised, kept in a safe environment, and cared for according to their specific routines and needs. I pay close attention during walks, feeding times, playtime, and interactions to ensure your pet stays happy, healthy, and stress-free. I also understand how important communication is, so I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands.

About: What sets me apart is my focus on consistency, calm handling, and understanding each dog’s individual needs. I’m experienced with both energetic puppies who need structure and patience, as well as senior dogs who require slower walks, gentle care, and attention to comfort. I prioritize safety, clear communication with owners, and maintaining routines that help dogs feel secure and relaxed while you’re away. I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and am comfortable caring for them even if they aren’t my own. I am available on weekends from 8-6pm. Weekdays vary but I am open to late afternoon walks depending on the day due to my job. I care for dogs during walks by keeping them safe, paying attention to their needs, and adjusting the pace to match their energy. I focus on positive, calm walks where they can explore, feel comfortable, and get the exercise they need.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I came into this world! Always watching over, loving, and caring for a variety of animals. At one point my family had 6 dogs to take care of and love! I have a very soft spot for elder animals and truly love caring for them! I love to watch and play with cats, and have experience cat sitting (usually 2 young male cats). I am currently a full time student, with a lot of free time throughout the week! I’d love to fill that time walking, playing, or spending time with your pet! I have a big fenced in backyard, front, and side yard that is perfect for playing! I have 2 roommates, both very loving and caring for animals similar to me! The space I live in is not noisy, and the overall space is very quiet. I love to play with animals and keep them active if that is desired by pet owners! I am very close to Bidwell Park which is perfect for long walks and getting energy out!

“Sofia has been great from the get-go! She responds quickly to requests, communicates well about her schedule, and is always on time. On top of that, she is very kind and caring with Gretel and Gretel’s humans. I can’t say enough good things about Sofia!”

About: I’ve taken care of many pets my whole life. I’m very passionate about animals health and wellbeing. I love all animals and have a passion to help and take care of them. I’m available two times out of the week for walks a what needs to be done! Let me help you with your lovely animals thank you. I love to exercise my lovely animals with care and affection. I don’t mind taking my time with them making sure they get the love they need.
About: My parents bred dogs growing up, and we always had a few cats too, plus I worked on a few different farms with chickens, goats, and pigs. As a teenager I used to walk dogs for extra money and I would love to do it again. I currently have a 5 year old rescue German Shepherd who is great with other animals, he would love to come meet your pet too! I am currently laid off so I have open availability. I walk my dog 2-3 times a day, but would love more time with animals. I have decades of experience with animals, my dog Storm is my bestie, but I have never met an animal I didn't like. I will treat your animal like they are my own.
About: I have walked, fed, cleaned, cared for, and played with all pets I’m watching. I’ve worked with labs, big huskies, small corgis, golden retrievers, and cats- old and young. I also helped pets with disabilities/old age with walking or eating. I personally have 2 dogs at home that I feed twice a day, let out consistently, walk every other day, and at-home trained to sit and be rid fear of other animals. I only let pets outside under my watch and keep account of where they are the whole time. When I am home with clients’ dogs I play and give them attention. I also do not overstimulate pets and clean after them if accidents occur.
