I pay attention to each pet’s body language to make sure they feel comfortable and not stressed. I always keep a clean, secure environment, make sure doors and gates are properly closed, and give pets calm, patient attention so they feel safe and cared for

About: I have been caring for dogs for about 12 years now. I am familiar taking care of small (chihuahuas and norfolk terriers) to large (german shepherd) breeds. I trained my dogs to sit, stay, lay down, bark, touch their nose with my hand, and stand in between my legs. Hello! I am currently a student but have extra time to walk/pop in and check on dogs. I love animals and enjoy going on walks so this is a 2 in 1! My place does not allow dogs but at home I make sure that my dogs are taken care of. I check up on them, feed them food with supplements and take them on walks. For client’s it is important to me for you to provide me with detailed descriptions of what/how you want me to care for your pets!

“Maira did great as always walking Canelo, she took I’m through a new route and it seems every time she interacts with him he likes and trusts her more and more. We found our permanent dog sitter/walker.”

About: I grew up surrounded by dogs and love all animals, my dad had a dog business and we had all kinds of pets at home! Though I can't have a pet in my apartment, I enjoy caring for others' furry friends. I offer reliable dog walking, in-home check-ins, and pet sitting for small to medium dogs and cats, treating each pet like my own! Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine since I work from home and set my own schedule. I’m able to give pets consistent attention, timely walks, and companionship throughout the day, ensuring they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for. Since I’m not allowed to have pets in my apartment, I focus on caring for them in my clients’ homes. I follow their routines closely, provide plenty of attention and play time, keep their space clean, and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owner is away.

About: Aspiring Veterinarian! Currently in school for my bachelors. I love animals and would love to more involved in pet care. I have two dogs, who both appreciate a good walk. I am available every morning during the weekends with a full availability on Sunday. May change with schooling, but will accommodate when needed and will work as much as possible with your schedule. I have a fenced front and backyard with two friendly dogs. There is enough space for playtime and a nice neighborhood to walk around in.

About: I’m a big animal lover! I’ve cared for both dogs and cats since I was 10, have dog/cat sat for families, friends and neighbors for over 15 years. I have a very flexible schedule and am always willing to work on your time and make sure your pets are safe, comfortable and taken care of! I'm currently working a remote part-time job and am available any time of the day to walk and care for your dogs. My schedule is very flexible, I'm available early mornings and afternoons as well for those needing to work late. From my own experience with my dog, I know how to crate train a dog. I ensure all possible exits leading outside of the home are closed and locked. Depending on the dogs diet, I'll provide the right amount of food and offer rewards for good behavior with treats (if allowed by the owner). Overall, I make sure the dog feels safe around me and try my best to build a trustworthy relationship.

About: I’ve loved and cared for animals for years and treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m patient, reliable, and attentive to each pet’s unique personality and routine. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, administering basic care, or simply providing companionship, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule and make pet care a priority. I’m available most weekdays and weekends and will work with you to meet your pet’s routine. Whether your pet needs walks, drop-in visits, overnight care, or extra playtime, I’ll provide dependable care and regular updates so you always know how they’re doing. I provide a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment where your furry friend can feel safe and relaxed. I carefully follow your pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions or medications. I supervise pets closely, never leave them unattended for long periods, and provide regular photo and video updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

About: I’ve always had a strong love for animals and years of hands on experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and personalities. I understand how important it is for pet parents to feel comfortable leaving their pets with someone they trust, so I focus on providing a safe, loving, and reliable environment. I’m experienced with daily walks, feeding schedules, administering basic care, puppy energy, and senior dog patience. I pay close attention to each dog’s needs and personality to make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and cared for while you’re away. What sets me apart is the level of attention and affection I give every pet. I treat every dog like family and always make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine because I prioritize consistency, responsibility, and structure. I schedule my day around feeding times, walks, playtime, litter box cleaning, and check-ins to ensure each pet receives timely and attentive care. Whether it’s daily visits or weekly bookings, I make sure I’m fully available and present for every pet I care for. I also plan my week in advance to accommodate pet sitting requests, making sure I have enough time and flexibility to give each animal proper attention, exercise, and companionship. Caring for pets is something I genuinely enjoy, so it blends seamlessly into my routine rather than feeling like a task. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on creating a calm, safe, and familiar environment. I follow all owner instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medication needs, and preferred routines to ensure the pet feels comfortable and secure. In a client’s home, I respect the space and keep everything clean, organized, and exactly as I found it while prioritizing the pet’s well-being and routine. In my care, pets receive plenty of attention, gentle interaction, playtime, and monitoring to ensure they are happy, safe, and stress free at all times. I also pay close attention to behavior changes and communicate updates so pet parents feel confident and reassured.

About: Hi! I'm Arika, and animals have pretty much been my entire personality for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I cared for just about every kind of animal imaginable—dogs, cats, horses, chickens, rabbits, hamsters, and even reptiles. If there was an animal that needed love (or someone to clean up after it), I was usually first in line. Needless to say, my parents never had to wonder what I'd be doing with my free time! For the past 5 years, I've worked in animal rescue, primarily with cats. As an Office Manager and Foster Coordinator for a nonprofit rescue, I've cared for hundreds of cats of all ages, personalities, and medical needs—from tiny bottle babies to spicy feral kittens, seniors, and cats recovering from illness or surgery. Let's just say not every cat has appreciated my help at first... but I've learned that patience (and a few treats) goes a long way! While my rescue work has focused on cats, my love for dogs has always been just as strong. I volunteer with a local dog rescue where I walk and exercise energetic dogs, helping them burn off some zoomies while preparing them for adoption. I've also assisted a friend with a dog training program in Bakersfield, where I gained experience with basic obedience, leash manners, and confidence building. When my in-laws head out of town, I become the designated ranch manager for their five dogs and six horses. It's a full house, but I wouldn't have it any other way! Between the dogs demanding belly rubs and the horses reminding me breakfast should have been five minutes ago, there's never a dull moment. I'm comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities—from puppies who think every walk is a treasure hunt to seniors who just want to take their time and sniff every flower along the way. I'm also experienced administering oral medications, eye medications, topical treatments, and subcutaneous fluids when needed. I'm currently exploring becoming a Registered Veterinary Technician (RVT) because I genuinely love learning about animal health and want to continue building on the experience I've gained over the years. At home, I have two cats and a rescue dog, so I know how nerve-racking it can be to leave your pets with someone new. My goal is to make that as stress-free as possible—for both you and your pets! I'll treat them like family, keep their routine consistent, and send plenty of updates and photos (because let's be honest... you're probably going to miss them more than they'll miss you 😉). Whether your dog wants to power walk, sniff every tree in the neighborhood, play fetch until your arm hurts, or simply enjoy some quiet company, I'm happy to match their pace. I can't wait to meet you and your furry family! After I drop my daughter off at daycare each morning, I get to spend the rest of my day doing something else I love—being around animals! I'm available Monday through Friday from 8:30 AM to 3:00 PM for dog walks. Whether your pup is full of energy or prefers to stop and sniff every flower (honestly, I support both!), I'm happy to tailor each walk to what makes them happiest. If your dog is friendly and enjoys the company of other dogs, I'd also be happy to bring my own rescue pup, River, along for the walk! She's friendly, well-socialized, and loves making new friends. Of course, this is completely optional and only if you're comfortable with it—I know some dogs prefer one-on-one adventures, and I'm more than happy to accommodate that too! As a pet owner myself, I know how nerve-racking it can be to trust someone else with your best friend. My goal is to make you feel completely at ease while your pup is in my care. My years in animal rescue have taught me how to read animal body language, recognize when a pet is feeling stressed, and adapt to all kinds of personalities. Whether your dog is outgoing, shy, energetic, or prefers to stop and sniff every flower, I'll tailor each walk to what makes them feel safe and happy. Before our first walk, I'd love to learn about your dog's routine, favorite treats, commands, and any little quirks that make them unique. Whether your pup thinks every squirrel is public enemy number one or insists on saying hello to everyone, I'm here for it! Safety is always my top priority. I'll use secure leash handling, stay aware of our surroundings, and make sure your dog gets the exercise, enrichment, and attention they deserve. After every walk, I'll send you updates and photos because I know I'd want the same if someone was caring for my own dog. Fair warning... if your pup is especially cute, they may end up becoming the star of my camera roll!

About: I’ve spent over a decade in hospitality and operations, running shifts at places like Starbucks and a local beer lab, which basically means I’m used to juggling a hundred things at once while staying calm, warm, and on schedule. Turns out that’s great training for dog care too: reading personalities fast, sticking to routines, and making sure everyone (two legs or four) feels comfortable in a new environment. I’ve got a dog of my own, so I know the drill: the 6am zoomies, the separation anxiety whining, the food that “definitely doesn’t cause gas.” Whether your pup is a couch potato, a chaos gremlin, or somewhere in between, I’ll treat them like they’re already part of the household. Ten-plus years in hospitality means I’m used to following exact protocols and communicating clearly, and I apply that same discipline to pet care. Safety and consistency come first, in my home or yours. I keep a calm, predictable environment because cats do best with routine, so I stick to feeding times, litter maintenance, and any specific instructions you give me exactly as written, no improvising.

About: I’ve always had dogs growing up. Recently just lost my senior pug who had diabetes and several health issues. I have no problem administering and keeping track of medications/glucose and feeding schedules. I have a small fenced in yard for bathroom breaks, as well as a flexible lifestyle that allows me to walk dogs twice a day every day. I am a part time dance teacher so I only work in the evenings for 5 hours max. I love being active but am always home every night at a reasonable hour. I lost my dog in February so I am free to take care of dogs who aren’t so friendly with others or who need extra attention. I have a fenced in yard for bathroom breaks and am young and able to take long walks in my neighborhood. We have a gated den area for pups to hang out in during the day with windows and toys.

About: I’ve taken care of animals for the longest time as young as 16. I would love to treat your animals the same way I would treat mine and give them the best care possible. I am currently working part-time as a dental assistant at a pediatric office. I am available Friday through Sunday morning through night, anytime you’d like. I have taken care of my friends cats when they were out in trips. I also give the best care to my own cat and dogs as in giving them their favorite treats, attention, playtime, and potty time. I’m also a full time pediatric dental assistant.

About: What sets me apart is the love and patience I have for pets. I like to care for them as if they were my own, keep a close eye on them, play with them, take them for walks, and make sure they feel calm and happy. I integrate dog care into my daily routine with walks, feeding schedules, and playtime. I like to give them attention, affection, and maintain a routine so they feel calm and happy. “I can take care of pets in my home based on their needs. I make sure to follow their schedules, take them for walks, play with them, and give them lots of attention and affection.”

“Ally is AMAZING and we are so happy to have found her. She did such a great job taking care of our 65 lb, 3 year old super energetic dog Simba. I was nervous to leave him for the first time after moving but Ally made it easy to relax and not worry. She sent regular and proactive updates and detailed notes on each walk and lots of photos! We appreciated that so much. Ally is clearly someone all animals love instantly and we will definitely book with her again.”

About: While I’m new to Rover, I’ve been caring for pets and homes for over 15 years. I have experience with dogs, cats, senior pets, medication administration, and multi-pet households. I’m excited to bring that experience to Rover and build lasting relationships with local pet families. (: FUN FACT: I have the same birthday as Caesar Milan, so I’m kinda like a dog whisperer 🤪 I’m a housewife with no pets or children of my own. I do theater every now and then but overall my schedule is wide open and ready to share the love and care necessary for your furry companion. I’m not sure why Rover says I don’t allow animals on the furniture. I don’t mind unless it’s a rule within your home to keep them down (: I will honor all of your wishes with caring for your loved one and treat them as if they were my own. I have a fenced backyard and safe neighborhood for walks. Your furry friends will be protected and their comfort is always going to be top priority whether in your home or mine. (:

About: I always loved going over to my friends' house if they had a dog because my parents wouldn't let me have one growing up. I was always willing to walk their dogs and 80% of my time at their house is spent with the dog HAHAH! I have pet sitted a couple times and I think dogs can feel how much I love them. They love resting on me. I am looking to incorporate exercise in my daily life, which this job would be perfect since I can get to meet dogs, walk the neighborhood, and make side money all at the same time! Given the leash and all the information to keep your fur baby happy and safe, I follow all instructions and will make sure they have a great time!

“Great communication, friendly and timely, Kat has been a fabulous help. Thank you!”

About: Hi! I’m Alex, and I specialize in caring for senior dogs and smaller/medium pups. Over the past year, I’ve been fostering a dog while working closely with a professional trainer. This has given me hands-on experience with different behaviors, routines, and training needs. I am available during evenings and weekends. I currently work at a coffee shop and get off early in the day. I can attend to pets after work. I may be helpful for those with late-night jobs, such as bartenders or event hosts. Dog Walking – I will always go to you. I have treats (and water + a bowl!) to keep pups happy and hydrated. My walks are calm, full of sniffs, and focused on comfort. If you’re training your dog, I’ll keep things consistent. I can also provide more high-energy walks. I do NOT pull or tug dogs. Drop-In Visits – I’ll feed your pup, refresh their water, and give them love, playtime, or cuddles so they feel cared for while you’re away. I can also do a quick 15-minute potty break during this time. *If you have an elderly dog: I prefer to use the treats you normally give them to avoid upsetting their stomach. Please provide treats you’d like me to use.
