Pet Sitting New Prospect

“Sonja is amazing with our two rescue pups! They have some specific needs, including separation anxiety and reactivity, and Sonja has the skills and experience to care for them. We felt totally comfortable leaving them in her care and we recommend her highly!”

“Jenn was so sweet and attentive to our older cat. Luna ,can be very shy and anxious and by just the first session she was interacting with Jenn. She also left very good notes and photos and was very communicative, she'll definitely be out first choice the next time we need a sitter!”

“Tammy was able to care for our cats with no issues. Weather was very hot when she cared for them and communicated with me about the temperature in the house and asked permission to open windows. Would definitely hire again.”

About: I have always had animals around in my life. Overall, I have had the pleasure of having 8 dogs, 2 rabbits, 2 guinea pigs, 1 hamster, and lots of fish (both freshwater and saltwater). Additionally, I have had the opportunity to care for the cats of family members. I have experience with: -Positive Reinforcement Training -Leash Handling -Muzzle Usage -Reactivity Training Guided by Licensed Animal Behaviorists -Veterinary Medication Administration Currently, I have one dog, Josie, who is an Australian Shepherd/Blue Heeler Mix. Josie is dog reactive, and I have spent an extensive amount of time working on her training and care. I am currently available to provide pet care Monday-Thursday from 4:30 pm - 9:30 pm. Oftentimes, I am also available to provide pet care at any time on Saturdays or Sundays. I have availability at any time during the day during these days in July 2026: 7/10, 7/11, 7/18, and 7/31. Since I have a dog at home who is anxious and reactive, I am not able to care for your pet in my own home; however, I would love to care for your fur baby where they are most comfortable -- in your home or in your neighborhood. I typically arrive with small treats in a pouch to share, ensuring my greeting is always positive. While at your home, I will ensure your pet receives exercise/play, multiple potty breaks, and refill water/food as needed. I believe in positive reinforcement, ensuring my interactions with your pet are always kind and respectful.

“Jessica was able to come check on my pups last minute and was fantastic!”

About: I have dreamed about walking dogs since I was a little girl and now I have found a way to do it and get paid! I have two Weiner dogs at my mom's house, a labordooddle at my dad's, and two cats of my own.I know and love all kinds of dogs and cats! I will care and treat them like they are my own so trust me they will get the best care ever! They may even get a little spoiled... But I can be strict if you have certain rules you want them to abide by! I have training. Please consider me when thinking about who can care for your furry children. I will give them the best care they deserve! I work part time and have a flexible schedule, so I can be available when needed. I have a car for easy transportation as well. My cats get supervised time outside on harnesses and time in the breezeway with open windows to get some fresh air. My neighborhood is good for taking dogs on walks and there is a wonderful dog park near by!

“Kayla was wonderful with Roxy. She was on time and played with our pup the entire time. She communicated very well too! We will call on her again! Thanks Kayla 😊”

About: I used to be a certified veterinary technician in Wisconsin and moved to California in July 2019. I have a lot of experience working with dogs and I used to dog sit for some friends over night when I was in college. I grew up with several animals and am an absolute animal lover. Nothing is better than snuggling up and loving animals. I worked as a kennel assistant for a year before becoming a vet tech. I've handled multiple dogs at a time before and love playing with them all. I love all types of dogs and getting them active. I am available at all times of day. I can do over night stays to take care of your fur baby. I will take all the pictures you’d like to keep you updated about your pets stay. With my experience in a vet clinic I've learned to handle all ages, sizes, and different health issues of pets. I am currently a full time student but all of my classes are online so I’m home full time. So your pet won’t be home alone for long during the week. When your pets stay with me they’ll be able to play with my two huskies also. They are great with all pups and know when to give them a break and when to keep playing. I can't wait to make your fur baby feel at home! I’m currently unemployed so your pets will have plenty of attention and play time with me. They’ll have a great balance of play and relaxation. I have a fenced yard and two dogs to keep your pet company. They will get a ton of exercise with these two but they’ll also get a lot of snuggles and love too.

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 10 years old and have a passion for giving them the best life! I will treat your pet as my own, making sure they are well taken care of and happy. I'm always ready and willing to go for walks, give them approved treats, lots of play time and willing to give them medicines if needed as well! I am available most of the time!! I can be available for early morning walks, afternoon potty breaks, or weekend runs around the block! Pets are a huge priority in my life and I will make your pet one of my biggest priorities. I currently have three rescue dogs and one rescue cat. I understand that every pet is different in their comfort level with humans. I will work with your pet, at their comfort level, to ensure we create a positive and safe relationship. If possible, I'd be happy to set up play dates with other dogs as well! Leashes and harnesses are what I use for my pets, but I'm open to walking your pet how they walk best.

“Lisa was an amazing sitter. Her love of animals and ability to read their cues was immediately clear on our meet and greet. During her visit she was punctual, communicative, and so invested in making my pup comfortable. Her years of professional experience in the vet ER gave me extra reassurance. I would leave my dog with her anytime!”

Nita M.

“Emma took care of our cats again and was great! She gave updates each visit and even stayed late one night to make sure one of our kitties was okay. She keeps everything tidy and is always easy to reach. She will continue to be our go-to cat sitter!”

Callie B.

“Kathy was the best! She accommodated some changes due to a family emergency without hesitation. And the love and care she showed for our Rosie was exactly what we were looking for in a puppy sitter. We’re using Kathy again for another weekend getaway and will definitely use her again in the future!”

About: My husband and I have been watching dogs in our home for over 10 years. Our busy lives of work and family have always held us back from owning our own dog. To satisfy our love for dogs we started watching our friends and families dogs and over the years thru word of mouth we have started getting phone calls asking if we would take on more dogs and then joined Rover. We have experience with small to large dogs, dogs with special dietary needs, dogs that need to be able to run, dogs that want to sit on your lap, to dogs that have medical needs. We believe that dogs should be treated as part of the family. We allow them to sit on furniture, sleep in bed etc.. Our jobs have afford us the ability to be able to adjust our schedules to be flexible and have the option to work from home when we have a dog staying with us. This allows us to be home with your dog to ensure they are getting plenty of play time, outside time and lots of attention. It is very rare that your dog will be home alone for a period of time. Our home is your dogs home... we give the dogs full access to the house. We are non smokers and do not have any pets of our own or small children. We walk the dogs twice a day and have an acre of land that dogs are free to roam, run and play -we like to play ball and tug a rope. We do provide a ground stake with a leash for those that like to run "free". We have ability to work from home and have very flexible schedules when needed. Which in turn allows us to very rarely leave your dog home alone We treat the dogs just as if they were our very own pet.. as part of the family. They have free range of the house .. on the furniture and beds.

About: “God speaks to the creatures through the creatures.” -Dr. Chase. “All you need is love.” -John Lennon. Plenty of love I have to give, but I also have the experience of 35 years as a science teacher. I’m well-versed in how animals like dogs and cats talk to us through their gestures. Dogs evolved with humans, and I understand that relationship and how dogs meet our emotional needs. Please read my first four reviews which I received from pet owners that I served even before signing up with Rover. The pet owner decides when treats are allowed, if table scraps are allowed, and how much food to give. The dog decides when it wants to go potty. 😉 Just in case, I usually take the dog out before it decides and always before any discomfort. Snuggles welcome. 🐾🥰😻 When serving you and your pet, I like to send pictures. We can also use FaceTime or Zoom to check in. 🐶🤩 At age 61, I’ve been a retired teacher for 3 years, and my activity level allows me to run or play with your beloved dog. In your home, I follow instructions and do the routine for your beloved just like you would. However, if I’m allowed to give more snuggles, or more walks, or more training than you normally have time for, I’m at your service.

“She’s super! Knows dogs well, reliable, all good things. We’ll be using her again!”

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, and I’ll be honest… I usually prefer hanging out with dogs over most people. 🐾 They’re loyal, goofy, and always bring good energy. I love giving dogs the attention, exercise, and care they deserve I work full-time but I’m done by 3 p.m. every day, leaving plenty of time for walks, playtime, and giving your pup the attention they deserve. I’m flexible and open to a variety of schedules. I’m unable to host pets or provide care in my own home. However, I’m fully available for in-home pet sitting at your residence, including walks, feeding, and drop-in care as needed

“Taylor was very helpful when our carbon monoxide detector went off during her pet visit. We appreciated the communication to help us resolve the unexpected event. All while she took good care of our cat!”

About: As far as experience goes there isn’t a time in my life I remember that I wasn’t caring for an animal. From reptiles, to rodents, to cats and dogs, I’ve had them all. From a young age I was taught responsibility and discipline when it came to caring for tiny creatures. Additionally for over two years I volunteered weekly at a local animal shelter. During this time I gained knowledge as to how animals interacted with one another, how to properly administer medication, warning signs to look out for, what to do in emergencies, and deeply studied animal behavior. To add on to that I am currently employed at a doggie daycare. During my time here not only have I gotten to widen my horizons when it came to taking care of animals but I have learned hands on how to bandage a wound, what to do in animal confrontations as well as how to handle the unexpected such as sickness or seizures. Additionally over the last 3 years I have volunteered at different animal welfare programs across the globe. These include Portugal, Puerto Rico, Tanzania and soon Hawaii. During this time I have not only seen hands on other cultures way of taking care of animals but also gained knowledge as to how to better the animal care I provide to clients. As I previously stated I currently am employed at a doggie daycare. Additionally I work at a bakery as well. My schedule changes weekly so it can be hard to give an exact time frame when booking. Typically I work up to 8 hour shifts. I typically prefer to stay in clients homes to keep their pets safe and happy in their own environment. I will be there in the morning before work, and will immediately come back when I get off as well as being there at night. I try to spend as much time as possible with the pets while you are away I typically only offer staying in the clients home and I am comfortable crating animals while gone. I always keep things like medications safely out of reach and secured. Additionally upon booking I typically ask about any health notes, allergies, or special needs as well as a good contact number for your vet in case of emergency.

About: I have grown up around dogs my whole life and I've had my first (adult life) dog for three and a half year. Wila Rose is an Australian Cattle Dog mix. About a year and a half ago we added another rescue, Buckley Quinn. He is a smart but goofy boy. They both go backpacking with us and we do a lot of hiking on our local public land areas. We enjoy playing around in our yard with our limited dog agility set and learning new tricks. We occasionally go swimming but love jumping and exploring new water areas and hiking trails. Wila and Buckley are a huge part of my life. We enjoy hiking, being outdoor, and traveling as much as possible. We do quite a but of training included but not limited to: agility, scent training, shed training, and just some fun party tricks. I am new to Rover so please feel free to reach out with any questions. I have an acre of land (not fenced in). We love to go on walks and sniffaris at our local parks. Buckley loved to play with other dogs and Wila is more of a people dog. They even loves to go backpacking and hiking which often include 10+ miles a day.
