“Good communication and sense of humor. Accommodated my dogs needs even if they didn’t fully align with the Rover plan. I booked a walk but my girl decided she didn’t want to and Leslie hung out with her in the yard and gave her cuddles and attention instead.”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the level of patience, responsibility, and genuine love I bring to pet care. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality and routine, making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I also have experience caring for senior pets, giving them the extra attention they need, as well as working with puppies, helping with basic training and good habits. My goal is always to provide not just care, but companionship, so pets feel happy while their owners are away. Pet care fits into my daily routine because I make sure to feed, give water, and spend time with my pet every day. I also include short play sessions or walks to keep them active. On a weekly basis, I dedicate time to cleaning their space, grooming, and checking their overall health. Taking care of my pet is part of my responsibilities, and I enjoy making it a regular habit. In my home, I care for pets by providing them with a safe and comfortable environment, making sure they always have fresh food and water, and spending quality time with them through play and exercise. I also keep their area clean and give them attention and affection. In a client’s home, I follow their specific instructions to maintain the pet’s routine, such as feeding schedules, walks, and any special care they might need. I always make sure the pet feels comfortable and cared for, whether they are with me or in their own home.

“Cyndi was so great with our dogs. They connected with her immediately and greeted her with enthusiasm on every visit. Friendly and reliable— our dogs definitely loved Cyndi’s visits and the variety of walks she took them on. We plan to have her care for our dogs again on future trips if she’s available.”

My passion to serve and love all animals is my daily /weekly routine. If I’m not holding/cleaning/feeding an animal I’m watching videos on animals and new ideas to implement for the well being of them, because knowledge for all the kingdom animals is key to a happy healthy long life Ensuring my fur baby’s safety at home and outside is my top priority. Inside the home, I make sure that all small objects or items that could pose a choking hazard are out of reach. I regularly check the floor, under furniture, and low shelves to ensure there is nothing the pet can accidentally swallow. Playtime is always monitored, and I keep a close eye to prevent any dangerous situations from occurring.

About: I've had dogs, cats and rabbits (plus a few hamsters) my entire life. I am good at tracking down lost tennis balls at the dog park & playing with cat dancer I'm working freelance so have a lot of flexibility. My dog takes me to Point Isabel every day.

About: My name is Janel, I'm a professional animator living in Richmond, CA. When I'm not busy making movies for Pixar and Disney, I'm spending time with my dog Toby and would love to get to know your pet too! I grew up with dogs for my entire childhood and was in charge of walking, feeding, and caring for dogs large and small from a young age. My fondest memories were always with my childhood dogs, Rusty, my golden, Zeus, my Pomeranian, and Duke, my black lab, at my side. As an adult I was thrilled to adopt Toby, my four year old min pin mix. I quickly discovered that Toby is *very* reactive to other dogs and so I now have several years experience with managing his reactivity. Walking him is now a fun filled experience instead of a stressful one because we've put in the work! If you're worried that a sitter/walker won't understand your reactive pup, or will have a hard time managing training/rules around reactivity, have no fear, I've been there and I'm here to help. I can't wait to meet your dog and do everything I can to make him or her feel happy and loved while you're away, whether it's just a quick walk or a daytime visit. I work from home so I have a very flexible schedule and am happy to fit my schedule to your dogs' needs. I'm available for drop ins and walks basically any time during the day! Having a reactive dog myself, I'm very familiar with training around reactivity and establishing consistent rules so that the dog feels safe and can grow his/her confidence. Knowing how stressful it is to be away from your pup, I will follow any and all house rules and remain consistent and communicative with the owners to ensure all parties are happy.

“Jacqueline was so wonderful with my little foster dog Becky--a beautiful, sweet, SHY 6 lb. Chihuahua. I just can't thank Jacqueline enough for all she did to make Becky feel comfortable. At only 6 lbs., Becky sees all of us as giants. She sometimes reminded me of a little bird. Jacqueline knew exactly what to do, and Becky went happily with her on a walk. When Becky got adopted, Jacqueline gave her a GORGEOUS fleece for a congratulations present. She is incredible thoughtful!”

North Richmond dog parents share their Rover experiences
Rong did an amazing job walking my dog last minute when I was only able to give her about 12 hours notice. I really appreciated her showing up on time and my dog immediately seems comfortable with her. After the walk, my dog seemed very happy and well taken care of. I will definitely hire her again.
We feel very lucky to have found Leslie! Our boy Bruno loves going on walks with her :) she’s very reliable, communicative, friendly, and able to accommodate our work schedules/ dog walking needs, which sometimes change from week to week. Great all around.
For my dog, Jonathan is a dog whisperer. He has been walking my 15 plus year old chi mix dog and my dog loves him. He's also very observant of my dog's behavior which, considering my dog's age, is very appreciated. My dog and I are happy we have been able to use Jonathan's services.
Yasmin was so incredibly great with my dog! I have a very hyper little dog and she was so patient and kind with him. She took him for long walks (even in this heatwave!) and made sure he had water after they were done. She also takes the cutest pictures that I have saved many to my phone. She even provides an update of how the walk went and what happened with her walking card which definitely going above and beyond. If you need a great dog walker I would highly recommend her because she is so amazing!
Lauri has really helped me out last minute when I needed someone to walk one of my two high-energy dogs. Maggie absolutely loved walking with her and was thrilled every time she saw Lauri. In addition to having a highly reliable, punctual dog walker, we also got to take advantage of Lauri's training background and made some great progress on Maggie's overall leash manners!
I really appreciated Xiao’s patience with my pup today. I have a rescue Chihuahua mix who does not warm up easily to new people. She got him out for two walks today while I had to travel out of town for work. It really put my mind at ease knowing Murphy was in good hands.
Maya is a sweet and caring dog walker, our dog Scout was going through a hard patch meeting new Rovers and Maya had the magic touch to make Scout trust strangers. The beginning of the week started with a dog that would run away when the Rover came but it be end Scout was excited to see Maya as she was to see me when I came home! Such a comforting feeling to know that my dog was in great hands.
