“Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of our little guy during his walk! 😍 He may look like a big boy on the outside, but he’s actually very timid on the inside—and we are so grateful that you approached building a connection with him with such gentle sensitivity. 🙏🏻 Next time, we’ll definitely come straight back to you! 😉”

About: I’ve cared for dogs for friends, family, and neighbors, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playing, or sticking to their normal routine, I make sure every pet feels comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. I understand that every pet has a different personality and needs, so I’m patient, attentive, and happy to follow any special instructions. I treat every pet like they’re my own, and my goal is to give owners complete peace of mind knowing their furry family member is in good hands. As a college student with a balanced schedule , I have a very flexible schedule and am available throughout the day for drop-in visits, walks, or overnight care. I’m also happy to commute to make pet care as convenient as possible for you Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll carefully follow your instructions, keep doors and gates secure, make sure your pet always has fresh food and water, and maintain their normal routine to help them feel comfortable. I’ll also treat your home with respect, keep everything clean, and send regular photo updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
“Julia was wonderful. She was always on time and spent quality time with our corgi, taking him on his morning and evening walks. We’ll use her again and recommend anyone in the Agora Hills area consider hiring her.”

About: I genuinely love walking dogs and believe that a well-exercised dog is a happier, healthier dog. Whether your pup enjoys a leisurely neighborhood stroll or a long, energetic hike, I’m happy to tailor each walk to their age, personality, and energy level. I’m in excellent physical shape and enjoy being active, so I’m comfortable with everything from short potty breaks to longer adventures that help dogs stay mentally and physically stimulated. My goal is to make every walk safe, fun, and something your dog looks forward to. I have prior experience caring for celebrity clients’ dogs, but I treat every dog like a VIP. I am also an artist who loves creating pet portraits of many of my former and current customers! After retiring from the corporate world, I’m excited to devote my time to something I’ve always loved—caring for pets. I began dog walking and pet sitting for a celebrity couple in 2002 as a side job, and now I’m making pet care my full-time focus. My schedule is flexible, and I’m available most days for walks, drop-in visits, and pet care. I look forward to giving every pet the attention, exercise, and loving care they deserve. I have experience caring for pets both in clients’ homes and in my own. For about a year, I worked for a couple in the entertainment industry, providing daily care for their pets while they traveled for work. I was trusted not only with their pets, but also with the security and care of their home, including overnight, weekend, and extended stays. I understand the importance of being dependable, respectful of your home, and keeping you updated while you’re away. At home, I recently said goodbye to my beloved companion, Charlie, after nearly 13 wonderful years together. While our home doesn’t currently have pets of its own, that means I can devote my full attention and care to your pet. I prefer to care for one family’s pet(s) at a time so they receive the individualized attention, love, and companionship they deserve.

“Nicky is an absolute gem! She has been walking my puppy a few days a week for a month and my puppy absolutely loves her! Nicky sends photos and videos from every single walk and gives me any important feedback. She is very patient and loving with my puppy and has been 100% reliable. I would have no issue with leaving my pup with her for overnight visits as well.”

“Perry is prompt and flexible. I've got a big, high energy german shepherd who needs to run and Perry didn't mind coming over while my wife and I were out to play fetch with him in the backyard. Big help when we can't be at home during the day. Thanks, Perry!”

“She was very thoughtful when walking my dog. It was very hot and she brought her own water bowl for him. She was careful to keep him in the shade. I highly recommend Cassandra for your pet care.”

I work from home, so it is easy for me to be there for your pet and provide the best care they need. I also live walking distance to several beautiful parks - perfect environment for dog sitting and walking. I am a very responsible person, living in a clean house with fenced in backyard. My dog, Benji, will be a perfect playmate for your pooch, too! He is wonderfully mellow and friendly.

About: Hi I'm Holly. I am a dog walker by day, kids dance teacher by night...and animal lover always. I grew up in a house full of pets and have a lot of experience caring for dogs. I love having a job where I get to care for and play with your fur babies. I currently walk and pet sit several dogs, some of whom I’ve been with for over 6 years. I also have helped a client house train a stubborn frenchie. My husband calls me the dog whisperer. I will only pet sit for one family at a time so your dog will have 100% individual attention and care. As someone who works with animals and kids I consider myself very patient, loving, and attentive. I'm also very active and am happy to run with an energetic pup.
“This was our first time ever using a dog walker on Rover. Courtney went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable leaving our fur baby with her. She is very responsive, and also provided us updates with pictures. We will definitively will use Courtney again.”

About: New to Rover? Use code: MOBINS37442 for $20 off your first booking! I have been surrounded by animals my entire life, from dogs and rabbits to other furry companions, and caring for them has always been second nature to me. Growing up in a home full of pets taught me not only how to love them deeply but also how to understand their unique personalities and needs. In addition to caring for my own pets, I have experience taking care of dogs and rabbits for friends, family, and others in my community. Whether it was daily walks, feedings, playtime, or simply providing companionship, I always made sure each pet felt safe, comfortable, and loved. Today, I am a proud pet parent to a sweet Shih Tzu puppy who brings so much joy to my life. I know firsthand how important it is to find someone you trust to care for your pet when you are away. That is why I make it my top priority to ensure every animal I care for feels safe, loved, and well cared for. Whether it is walks, playtime, snuggles, or just keeping your pet company, I will treat them like family because they are. I am patient, attentive, and always happy to follow your pet’s routine to a tee. I cannot wait to meet you and your furry friend. I’m currently on summer break from law school and available anytime to care for your pets! Once school starts, I’ll be available Tuesday through Sunday with flexible hours to fit your pet’s needs. Just let me know what works best, and I’ll be happy to accommodate! I live in a gated home and prioritize safety, creating a calm and secure environment for your pet. I take the time to understand each animal’s needs and build trust at their pace. Whether it’s providing outdoor playtime or quiet rest, your pet will feel at home here. I’m dedicated to ensuring their comfort and well-being while you’re away!
About: I have had dogs in my family since I was a kid and currently have two of my own. Our girls are husky mixes, Luna and Nova and they both have a really cool adoption story. I love animals and would love to give yours the time and attention they need. I work full time during the week but am available weeknights from 3:30pm-10pm and weekends anytime. I am really excited to get started on this app!! I walk my two dogs all the time, and I love it. I am well aware of my surroundings and make sure if any other dogs are close, to give them the needed space as we pass one another. I have leashes (Short and extended), doggy bags, treats (If allowed) and always carry water.
About: I have gained lots of skills in my profession working at shelters and animal hospitals. For both, I was responsible for feeding, cleaning and grooming all the animals we housed. Even vet care if needed. So no need to worry, nothing will come to a surprise for me! I’m currently working at California Wolf Center. My time is partly taken however I am willing to alternate my schedule to whatever suits your calendar best! I have a fenced yard and a home that is open to the dog/puppy. I do have two fur babies of my own that love to play with new friends, however my attention would be fully focused on yours to ensure they are enjoying themselves while they stay with us.
About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life. At the age of 16 I got my very own dog with parental permission. I disciplined him, trained him, and raised him to be a reliable and comforting companion. I still do training with him at least 1-2 times a week. I care for the two other family dogs, one being older and the other being the middle child. The oldest—our old man—has difficulty walking sometimes and eating. I’ve learned to prep and adjust his meals to make it easier for him. I love training and try to be as consistent as possible. I am not a certified trainer—guilty of being self taught—however I know how to teach and enforce basic commands like sit, stay, etc. I love dogs, and cats too, and love every moment I get to spend with them. I’m currently a college sophomore, so my workload is very light and I’ll have plenty of time to hangout with your pets! I am available almost every weekday unless confirmed otherwise. Weekends I am very flexible, unless a prior arrangement has been spoken about before, and I am available from 9am to 6pm. I treat pets like my own children. I believe they need attention, love, and warmth. I love my dog like a son and my two other family dogs like my children as well. I feed all three of them, I bathe all three of them, I pick up messes whether it is an upset stomach to torn up toys or furniture, I take the youngest on walks as he’s the only one properly leash trained, and I give them as many cuddles as they ask for.

About: I have a lifelong passion for animals and believe pets are family members deserving of dedicated, thoughtful care. Since the age of 12, I have had cats of my own and have regularly provided comfort and care for friends' and family's cats as well, giving me years of hands-on experience with feline behavior and needs. In 2020, I helped raise my family's golden retriever from puppyhood, managing crate training, obedience training, daily exercise, grooming, and all aspects of routine care. She turns 7 in January 2027, and I have supported her needs through every stage of life. I recently provided care for a 17-year-old small dog with heightened attention needs and separation anxiety, ensuring he stayed comfortable, calm, and well supported. I also share my home with two cats, ages 4 and 1, which has given me ongoing, daily experience with animals of varying ages, temperaments, and energy levels. When you entrust your pet to me, you can expect a consistent routine, attentive supervision, and regular photo updates so you always know how they are doing. Working part-time from home gives me the flexibility to build pet care into my everyday routine. I'm available Tuesday through Saturday for at-home care, both day and night, so I can be attentive to feeding schedules, walks, and any special needs throughout the whole day rather than just squeezing visits in around a fixed schedule. This flexibility also means I can respond quickly if a pet needs extra attention or company. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow their established routine closely, including feeding times, walks, and any specific instructions. I focus on keeping pets comfortable, safe, and engaged, while providing attentive companionship, especially for anxious or senior pets.
“Anna is AMAZING!! her passion and interest in animals is contagious, and she takes a personal interest in your pet! My boy is quite the handful, but Anna took it in stride. I’m so impressed with her abilities and the level of care provided, and I’m so grateful we found her! She’s the best!!”
