About: I have worked as a dog trainer for 2 years and studied animal behavior at university. I have always loved animals and have been the go to petsitter for all of my family and friends since I was a child. I have experience administering medications in pill form, topical, as well as eye drops. I am also skilled in trimming nails. I am able to monitor and recognize behavioral cues in dogs to prevent incidents and give them the best care that suits each unique pet. I am a Biotechnology Master's student at USF with classes on Monday through Wednesday in the evening so I am available all day Thursday through Sunday to care for your pets and during the day Mon-Wed. I am able to petsit over night at the clients home and check on them regularly through the day or stay at the house all day. I am physically capable of taking them for multiple walks or hikes everyday. I have experience admistering medications and preparing food.

About: I became accustomed at an early age to being very attuned to the emotions of people around me, which has its ups and downs, but that almost innate intuition makes me stand out from a lot of pet owners/sitters, because Iâm able to more accurately understand what dogs/cats in my care want/need and stand up for them since they arenât able to speak up for themselves. I get to decide my work schedule on a weekly basis, so Iâm quite flexible. If youâre out of town and need a house/pet sitter, Iâm available whenever. Same goes for walks and drop-ins. Iâll be following any/all of your instructions to a T. Otherwise, Iâll be home the vast majority of the time working from home with your pet(s) keeping them company, feeding them, and taking care of their potty needs. In addition, Iâll take your dog on a walk 3-4 times a day so they get their exercise as well.
About: Hi! Iâm Guidi,a full-time, home-based dog sitter providing a calm, safe, and loving environment for your pup. My husband Tom is assisting me with sitting your pup. We intentionally keep my care small and personal â I accept no more than 3 dogs at a time so every dog gets plenty of attention, supervision, and affection. Dogs in my home are treated like family. They are welcome on furniture and even on the bed if thatâs what theyâre used to, because I want them to feel comfortable, secure, and at home while youâre away. I have a secure backyard for playtime and fresh air, along with daily walks and lots of indoor interaction. Since I work from home full-time and do not have my own pets or small children, Iâm able to give your dog my full focus and adapt to their unique personality, routine, and needs. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, from energetic pups to calm seniors. My goal is simple â to give your dog a safe, happy, and stress-free stay while giving you peace of mind through consistent updates and communication. I donât work so I can provide full-time pet care. I have two rooms and several crates so I can appropriately separate dogs that require special attention or care.I also prepare nutrient snacks and treats for your lovely pet. We live in a single house with comfortable furnitures and a fenced yard that he/she can run around. Crocker Amazon Park, a large, beautiful park just a short walk away from my home. Itâs a wonderful, dog-friendly area I frequently walk with dogs. My home is about a 15-minute drive from SFO, which makes drop-off and pick-up very convenient when you travel.
âKatrina was fantastic ! She was super helpful booking with us last minute. Our dog had an amazing time with her I could tell he was very happy and had been well taken care of.â
âChristina was immediately intuitive, getting that my dogâs disposition can be challenging, and working some serious magic to make both me and my dog comfortable. My dog was nervous at first but warmed up to her quickly, not something we typically see.â

About: Hi there! My name is Flora and I have 3 years of experience working in an emergency pet hospital along with 13 years of being a dog mom and pet sitter for friends. I also have an associate degree in veterinary technology. Although I do not practice anymore as an RVT and have switched careers, I still volunteer and love being around animals. Rover has been a way for me to fulfill my passion of caring for animals as I navigated through my career change. Iâm currently working full time during the week, but I am available after 4pm for walks and most weekends. Although it says Iâm unavailable, please message me to check in. Boarding will be limited to weekends only. Please check in regarding holidays. With my experience as a vet tech, I am confident in being able to provide the best care possible. I will cater my approach towards you and your petâs needs. Boarding: I live in a pet friendly condo and have a separate room for dogs. I only allow one dog at a time due to having a pup of my own. When entering and exiting the building, your dog will always be on a leash. While walking dogs, I am highly aware of leash reactivity in the dog I am walking as well as other dogs around me. I will adjust the walk as needed (stopping, crossing the street, using treats or a toy).
About: Grew up in a farm with tons of animals and dogs and cats, I have over 20 years of experience caring and boarding doggies. They help me a lot with my anxiety and depression and it's a full time job. Available all the time. I work from home so I'm always at home available to watch your baby. They will love making me company and that would be my pleasure. I have a huge fenced yard and I'm always at home. I have a daughter and I do domestic work at home. Animals will help me keep company.

âDena walked our (recovering) reactive dog Monty and did a fantastic job. She was open to using treats and commands, and got him comfortable quickly. Sheâs a very calm presence with lots of experience (and love for!) with dogs. We will definitely hire her again!â

Outer Mission dog parents share their Rover experiences
Dena and her husband are the absolute best -- so thoughtful, attentive, and communicative. They make sure to understand your dog's needs and give them individualized attention. My dog is a senior dog so she doesn't do long walks, but they made sure to give her plenty of attention and playtime! I could tell my dog had a blast and seemed so comfortable with them. Would book again anytime.

Frani is so wonderful with my little maltipoo Cali. Cali has never had anyone walk her except me, and Frani helped make the transition of having a dog walker a few times a week a breeze! Cali loves her, and they have a great time walking and sniffing around the neighborhood and dog park. Frani is reliable, on time, communicative, friendly, and a really nice person. I highly recommend Frani!

Highly recommend! Joyce was wonderful, reliable, kind, and great with our pets. She took our dog on long, 1-hour walks while my husband and I were working, and she also has experience with cats, helping administer eye drop medication for us. We really appreciated all her help.
