“Rose was so wonderful with our Sheldon! He had a blast which was evident from all the pictures Rose sent to us throughout her stay. Rose stayed in our home and treated it like her own. We returned as if we had never left! She has a knack with dogs and it showed from the first moment she interacted with Sheldon. We would happily welcome her back again! Thanks Rose for taking such amazing care of our fur baby!”

About: Along with having 2 of my own, I've taken care of countless dogs for the past 7 years. From belly rubs to long walks, I am dedicated to making sure that your pet receives the quality care that they deserve. I understand that your pet is like your child, and my top priority is keeping them safe and loved while you're away. I am currently working part time, so I have a lot of time to spend with your pups! I am available weekdays before 2pm, and after 7pm. I am also available any time during the weekend. I will care for your dogs and keep them safe like they're my own. I can easily crate them if needed, and I have experience with specific feeding routines.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over seven years through the Wag! platform in addition to friends and family’s pups, and have experience with a wide variety of breeds and personalities. Over time, I’ve discovered that I truly excel with smaller, calmer, and more mellow dogs—and that’s where my focus is for Rover. I take a gentle, attentive approach to dog care, paying close attention to each dog’s comfort level, routine, and preferences. I’m especially mindful of dogs who thrive in quieter, low-stress environments and do best with patience and consistency. Whether it’s relaxed walks, cozy companionship, or simply maintaining their normal routine, my goal is always to create a safe, low-stress experience where dogs feel secure, respected, and genuinely cared for. Pet care is my top priority. My schedule is flexible so I may step away for some dog walks, but I am mindful of my schedule and adjust taking additional walks accordingly. I take safety, trust, and comfort very seriously in both my home and my clients’ homes. I approach every pet with patience and respect, allowing them time to adjust and feel secure in a new environment or routine. In my home, I maintain a calm, clean, and pet-friendly space that’s especially well-suited for smaller, mellow pets. I have a fully fenced yard, and all outdoor time is closely supervised to ensure safety at all times. I’m mindful of doors, gates, and potential hazards, and I create a quiet environment where pets can relax without unnecessary stress or overstimulation. I closely follow each pet’s routine, feeding instructions, and any specific care preferences shared by their owner. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat the space with the same respect and attention as my own. I follow all instructions carefully, maintain consistency with the pet’s normal schedule, and ensure their environment remains safe, familiar, and comfortable. I’m attentive to changes in behavior or mood and communicate promptly with owners if anything seems out of the ordinary. Above all, I aim to build trust—both with pets and their people—by being reliable, observant, and genuinely attentive to each pet’s well-being.

“Becky was very responsive and communicative each day while we were away. She sent pictures and took very good care of our two dogs. We would highly recommend her and definitely request her again on our next trip away.”

“Danielle did an absolutely incredible job taking care of my dog! I had her come and housesit for me since my dog definitely prefers to stay in her own space. Danielle's experience taking care of her own pets translated so well to taking care of my little one. She was able to follow very specific feeding instructions due to mine being such a picky eater. And Danielle was so communicative the entire time and was always sending me pictures and videos to let me know that my little one was doing great! I absolutely will be booking with Danielle again when I need to travel!”

“Stephanie watched our three dogs and cat for a long weekend and did a wonderful job! Everyone was happy and healthy upon return. She was very respectful of our house and kept everything very clean. Stephanie followed my many instructions perfectly! I really appreciate her responsiveness and all the photos she sent throughout the weekend! Will definitely book again. Thank you, Stephanie!”

About: Hi, my name is Lee and I’m a recent architecture college graduate in the midst of transitioning between school and the work world. Growing up, I cared for many species of animals such as cats, dogs, hamsters, guinea pigs, and butterflies. I currently live with an orange tabby named Rosie who’s 10 and a little spicy. I have cared for and pet sat cats and dogs of friends and family for several years. I helped my sibling foster 4 kittens. I walked dogs ages two to fourteen and from 12lbs to 80lbs. No matter the size, I enjoy carrying for fur babies, while making sure each animal is comfortable, safe, and happy. My schedule is quite flexible - from morning to evenings - only working around personal projects and care. Drop-in visits toward the end of the evening are doable. I am generally available on weekends. I appreciate owners who provide detailed information on routines and care, so I can provide best for their pet as to ensure comfort and consistency. I have cared for cats and dogs from 5lbs to 80lbs and from elderly to energetic. I enjoy taking dogs out for regular walks, whether it’s just to get them out of the house or to tire them out. Usually I walk one pup at a time, but I have walked two medium size dogs (40-50lbs each) from the same household together. Some of the dogs I have cared for have been unfazed by people or other pets, while others have been well trained but anxious or potentially reactive to others dogs, requiring a soft muzzle. On overnights and drop-ins, the dogs I have cared for have had various diets, including raw food, kibble, and fruits/vegetables (as treats). I’ve had pets that required separate meals, unique rituals around meals, or specific supplements/pill medications at meals. Some households have asked I crate their dogs at night, while others have pups that want to be in whichever room I sleep.

About: I’ve been a pet owner my whole life, growing up I had three different dogs, Ruby, who died when I was 8, Ollie, and Zoe. I’ve had three fish, two mice, a lizard, and a hamster. Starting at age 12, I began dog and cat sitting for my neighbors and friends, and many families have relied on me for the care of their animals when they cannot be there. I also study animal science with a pre vet concentration in school so I'm extremely knowledgeable on how to correctly interact and care for pets I am currently a full time pet sitter, so sitting is my whole life at the moment. During the year I study animal science but when I am not working over the summer I love to read and bake! I always make sure front doors are closed or locked, pay special attention to certain rules and expectations of different pet owners, and never let animals out of my sight unless they are safely inside or in an enclosed outside space.

“Kristen did a great job taking care of our Bailey. She is very pleasant and accommodating. She kept us updated and we were able to relax on our short trip knowing our fur baby was well taken care of.”

About: I’ve spent years caring for animals and understand that every pet has their own unique personality, needs, and routine. What sets me apart is my reliability, attention to detail, and genuine love for animals. I treat every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies who need patience and consistency to senior pets who require extra attention, medication management, and gentle care. I’m comfortable following specific feeding schedules, exercise routines, and any special instructions to keep your pet happy and healthy. Communication is very important to me, so I provide regular updates, photos, and check-ins to give pet parents peace of mind. My goal is to create a stress-free experience for both you and your pet while providing dependable, compassionate care every step of the way. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I currently have completely open availability. This flexibility allows me to accommodate a variety of schedules, including early mornings, evenings, weekends, holidays, and last-minute bookings. I can dedicate plenty of time and attention to each pet to ensure they receive the care, exercise, and companionship they need. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. Whether caring for pets in my client’s home or during walks and drop-in visits, I follow their established routines to help them feel comfortable and secure. I pay close attention to feeding schedules, exercise needs, medications, and any special instructions provided by the owner. I maintain a clean, safe environment, ensure doors and gates are secure, and closely monitor pets during walks and playtime. I understand that trust is important when leaving your pet in someone else’s care, so I provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is to make every pet feel loved, safe, and stress-free until their family returns home. 🐾❤️

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to calm seniors. I enjoy getting to know each dog’s personality and can help with basic training like sit, paw, or stay. I’m patient, friendly, and love making every pup feel happy and comfortable. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to spend plenty of time with dogs. I can fit walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day, adjusting to your dog’s energy and needs so they always feel cared for. I make sure dogs are always safe and comfortable. In my home, they can access almost every space, so they feel free and relaxed. I also have a small balcony on the first floor where they can get some fresh air safely. I always follow the owner’s instructions and keep a close eye on them to make sure they feel secure and cared for.

“We cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience with Stephanie! From the very first meeting, she made us all feel so comfortable. She is truly a dog person who goes above and beyond for every pup in her care. We have two dogs with very different needs: one is reactive, and the other has ongoing medical requirements. Finding someone we trust with both of them felt daunting but Stephanie came in with calmness, confidence, and knowledge, knowing exactly how to approach our reactive dog and handling our other pup's medical needs with skill and care. Stephanie was wonderful at keeping me in the loop and made it obvious that our dogs' comfort and wellbeing were her top priority. We feel so incredibly lucky to have found her and will asolutely be booking with her again. If you have dogs with special needs, look no further!”

“Hannah is just wonderful! She is reliable and provides such attentive care for my mini Goldendoodle! Raja enjoys all the walks, play time, and cuddles! We appreciate the regular updates on Raja throughout the day. I highly recommend Hannah!!”

About: I’ve had several dogs over the years including puppies whom I’ve trained from scratch, as well as temperamental seniors. I love them all and they usually like me too. ☺️ To get $20 off your first booking, use this link: https://www.rover.com/sit/sonalv50918 I work part-time from home so I’m able to dedicate a lot of time and attention to your pet. Walking them is one of my favorite forms of entertainment and exercise. I have a 5 ft high fenced backyard and the Sierra Azul trail entrance is just a 5 minute walk from my house so there is plenty of walking terrain for your doggies. While at my house, your cutie pies will be allowed on the sofa and bed unless you say otherwise. I’m also able to drive out to your place and spend some cuddle time with your fur babies. Just let me know what their needs are, I’m adaptable.

“Deborah is so wonderful to our Great Dane - showers him with constant love, attention, walks, dog parks. She sends us multiple updates and pictures a day. It is such a reassurance to know that Drago is in such loving care while we are away”

“Courtney was a terrific pet sitter! She was communicative and send me a lot of photos, made sure the animals were taken care of, and was clearly experienced. Would happily use her again.”
