About: I have always been around pets. When I was a kid, my grandmas house was the place to be. Multiple dogs, turtles, birds, and I loved to play with all of them. As time went on, I was able to get dogs of my own at home, and have taken care and loved them ever since. In a way, they have also taken care of me and helped me through the years. I'm currently deciding what will be my next step in my career, so I wanted to do something that I love with my free time. I love taking care of my dogs and am excited to help anyone in that needs it. At home, we have a fenced backyard. I am extremely careful checking to make sure everything is safe for my dogs to be outside. When walking, I am extremely careful around other dogs and people, to protect my dogs and the ones around them.
“Awesome communicator and my dog loves her!”
About: My family has had 4 golden retrievers, 1 pit bull, and 1 white lab throughout the years. Although I am new to Rover, I have years of experience with house sitting, dog walking, and pet care. I currently work full time but have Thursday and Friday off. I can walk before or after work any day of the week. Message me and I'm sure we can work something out. My dog has a huge yard to explore but we would still take him on walks outside the property often. I am 23 and have a lot of energy so I can handle dogs that are the same. I'm very accommodating. Explain how you like things handled and I will make sure it happens that way.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for 15 years, from energetic puppies to mellow seniors. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or giving meds, I treat every pup like part of the family. Friends and neighbors rely on me for everything from daily visits to overnight stays, and I’ve built great bonds with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I’m confident, calm, and always ready for fetch, belly rubs, or just quiet companionship. Bonus: I never show up without treats (with your permission, of course!). Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine—I genuinely love spending time with animals. I’m flexible and can accommodate morning, midday, or evening visits depending on your pet’s needs. Whether it’s a quick potty break, a long walk, or quality cuddle time, I make sure each visit is stress-free and tailored to your dog’s personality and schedule. Weekdays and weekends are both available, and I always build in time for updates, so you’ll never wonder how your pup is doing. Safety, trust & environment Keeping pets safe, happy, and comfortable is always my top priority—whether I’m staying at your place or welcoming your pet into mine. I stick closely to your care instructions and take time to get to know each pet’s personality and routine. When I’m in your home, I make sure everything stays just the way they’re used to. At my place, it’s calm and cozy with lots of supervision and comfy spots to lounge. ***I have two sweet Frenchies who are great with other dogs—we’ve had a third pup stay with us for weeks at a time, and it’s always a blast. I keep things secure, walk with sturdy leashes, and treat every pet like one of my own. If you’re looking for care for two or more dogs, I usually prefer staying at your place—it helps keep things low-stress and more familiar for them.
About: With over 25 years of experience around dogs, I’ve developed a deep understanding and love for their unique personalities and needs. Whether it is a quick stroll or an energetic adventure, I make sure every walk is safe, fun and tailored to your dog. I’m reliable, caring and committed to treating your pup like one of my own- because they deserve nothing less. You can count on me to show up, stay attentive and keep those tails wagging! Being that I work remote, I am able to have a very flexible schedule. I have a car so I am able to get to different locations easily and I am accommodating within reason. Every dog is different and I pride myself on being able to observe and adapt my behavior and energy to each individual dog. Dogs are part of the family so I would treat it as if it were a family member with extreme care and respect.
“We love Carina! Our mini Aussie shepherd puppy adores walks with her. She is incredibly attentive, sweet and knowledgeable, has a great response time and is awesome about sending thorough updates and lots of lovely photos! It’s super evident that every walk is a fun and enriching experience for our little pup with Carina. We’re big fans 🥰🐾 Highly recommend!!”

“Responded right away and can take last m”
About: I have grown up with dogs and watched pets of family friends and love dogs more than anything! I am comfortable with all dogs and sizes! I’m currently home from college for the summer and looking for a flexible schedule so I can enjoy my last summer. I couldn’t think of a better job! I have one small dog in my families house right now who is very friendly and good with other dogs. Would prefer a crate trained dog is the dog is staying with me but it is not necessary.
About: I have been caring for animals and pet sitting for many years now. I am one of those crazy dog moms who doesn't trust anyone but myself to care for and protect my dog, so I understand being very selective with who you pick to care for your pet. I will care for and protect your pet like I would my own. In my free time, I rescue dogs off the street and reunite them with their owners or find my safe and loving foster homes. Nothing makes me happier than caring for animals and making them happy! I am available during all days of the week and at all hours at the moment! I will update my schedule and my availability as needed! I am very precautious when watching animals. I check all gates are closed before letting them out to go potty. I stand outside with them and if they are small I will follow them around to keep them safe from risk of hawks or predators. I triple check all exits are secured when I leave. I love to run around and play with the pets and make sure they are having fun and their mind is stimulated!
About: I have many years of experience with taking care of my own and others animals. I am a dog walker, I have dog sit, and am currently taking care of 2 cats. I have taken care of a diabetic cat before so I can do any medications, needles, or any other requirements your animal needs. I am very caring, responsible, organized, and loving. Animals are my favorite thing ever so I promise to care of yours like it’s my own:)) I just moved to San Diego and am looking for a job. Until I find one I am free 24/7, and after I will update my schedule. I am very responsible and caring, I go over the top to make sure the pet is safe, loved and comfortable and the home is well taken after and safe.
