“Stefan is very knowledgeable about dogs especially how to ease them into a new person. He is also able to give commands and train when he’s with them. He's great!”

“Ari was fantastic with both our big dogs. Both loved walking with him each day. Our German shepherd is dog-reactive and Ari handled him with ease. He was punctual, communicative and always sent a cute photo of the dogs. Will be using Ari again soon. 10/10 would recommend.”

About: I have over 10 years of dogsitting experience ranging from puppies to 20 year old senior dogs - and dogs of all sizes and breeds. I'm a dog mom to a 3-legged pup who is my world. I've never met a dog that I don't love - and it's (almost) always mutual; I've been called the dog-whisperer by many. I have time on the weekends, and sometimes during the week as my job is hybrid and offers flexibility. I also have specific times of the year that I have off from work (i.e. Christmas time) and am very available to help with pup needs! As someone who has a very friendly dog that can be slightly anxious at first, I approach all dogs I meet for the first time with caution, usually getting closer to their level before any contact. I am patient with the pups, knowing that some dogs take a little more time to get used to a new person. I always ask for all rules that an owner has (dogs allowed on furniture? specific treats they can get and how often) to ensure I don't throw off a dog's routine.
“Aditi is the best. She understands how important our little guy is to us, has a great approach to giving him the best walk and experience, and is very communicative & responsible. We feel very lucky to have found her!”


“Janaina has been amazing! My pup loves her and I completely trust her. Her communication is so great which is appreciated. Nothing but positive things to say about her”

“Meng was wonderful! She walked my difficult senior dog and sent so many photos and updates and followed all of my instructions. She was very good at communicating and keeping me updated. Definitely will be using her again!”

“Nick and Heidi were attentive and thorough with our new rescue dog, Baloney. Even though Baloney was quite shy at first, their gentle care helped him to feel more confident while they cared for him. I would hire Nick and Heidi again!”

“Molly is an amazing dog sitter! She showed up prior to walking the dogs to get acquainted and asked all the right questions that made us feel very safe to leave our furry babies with her. She definitely went above and beyond walking our dogs and making sure they got lots of love and cuddles even after she was done walking them. She kept us updated and posted photos consistently so we were always aware of what’s happening. I would definitely recommend Molly as a pet sitter and would definitely contact her again in the future.”

About: I have extensive experience with both ends of the spectrum in dog care. I’ve cared for my senior dog who was blind, deaf, and battling cancer, which taught me incredible patience and compassion. I’ve also raised a puppy from just 8 weeks old, successfully potty and crate training her. I’m highly adaptable, able to provide slow, gentle care for older or special-needs pets, or be as active as necessary for energetic pups. Additionally, I’m exceptionally neat and organized, ensuring that your home remains spotless while I care for your pet. Pet care naturally fits into my routine as an active individual who loves to be outside. I average about 8 miles of walking each day, making daily walks with your pet an integral part of my schedule. As an early riser, I can accommodate early morning routines, ensuring your pet gets the attention they need from the start of the day. I am currently available for full-time care, so your pet will have my undivided attention and energy throughout the day. When caring for pets in my home, you can expect a clean, organized, and safe environment. Living alone allows me to focus entirely on your pet, making them the center of my attention. I maintain a tidy space, which is perfect for pets who thrive in a calm and orderly setting. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I bring the same level of care and respect to your space as I do to mine. I am highly adaptable to the specific needs of your pet, whether they require a calm and patient approach or a more active and engaging routine.

Also lots of tricks and play indoors in between! Occasionally, we also take Chicken to a nearby field or the beach for fetch and frisbee. We have plenty of treats to work on tricks and enrichment toys to keep your dog mentally stimulated. Dogs will always have access to clean water. We also have a couple dog beds and they are allowed on the couch and bed! Your dog will be family!
“Jane is absolutely wonderful. She is communicative, dependable, trustworthy, and most importantly I can tell she really cares about our fur babies. She has had a long standing dog walking appointment for our large and excitable dog, and she is just the best!”

About: Hi! I’m Madison. Born and raised dog lover turned cat mom. I grew up owning dogs all my life , and many have trusted me to walk, feed, and play with their pets! I fostered 4 kittens and 1 dog over the course of this summer, and just adopted my new baby, Nori! 🍣 While I’m not currently taking in pets into my home for boarding, I’m happy to watch after your pets in theirs! I work from home with a flexible schedule, so it’s easy for me to pop over and give your pet some love. I might even bring over my laptop for extended hangs and couch cuddles! Pets are great coworkers 🐾 Happy to use a lock box to enter your home or any digital keypads. I can walk if local. Can’t wait to meet your fur baby!
“Travis is the perfect trusted dog walker for our pup. We have boarded with him as well and cannot say enough positive things about what a great job he does caring for our dog as well as being a great communicator and lovely to coordinate with. We would recommend Travis to any friend and continue to use him regularly ourselves.”

“We had an amazing experience with Matty and Chelsea! They were flexible and easy to communicate with. Our two high energy dogs were no problem for them!”
About: If I were a pet sitter, I’d say what sets me apart is my adaptability and deep knowledge base. I can give tailored care for different types of pets—puppies, senior pets, or those with special needs. I’d approach training with a calm and positive reinforcement mindset, especially for puppies who are just learning the ropes. For senior pets, I’d ensure they’re comfortable, with plenty of low-impact playtime and attention to any medical needs or mobility issues they might have. I’d also make sure I know their routine and be consistent, as that helps them feel secure. If you want someone with a flexible, thoughtful approach, who’s also equipped to handle anything from teaching basic commands to ensuring senior pets are comfortable, I’d be your go-to! What kind of care does your pet need? If I were a pet sitter, I’d design my schedule around your pet’s needs and routines. I’d make sure to fit in regular walks, playtime, and feeding times at consistent intervals, which helps pets feel secure and know what to expect. For puppies, I'd include training sessions during the day, keeping them engaged and learning while also giving them breaks. For senior pets, I'd factor in some slower-paced walks, gentle grooming, and more downtime to make sure they're comfortable. I’d also be sure to keep in touch with you throughout the day, sending updates and photos, so you can always check in on how your pet’s doing. Does your pet have any specific schedules or routines you'd like me to follow? If I were caring for pets in my home or your home, safety and trust would be my top priorities. I’d create an environment where pets feel comfortable, relaxed, and secure, whether it's in their own familiar space or a new one. Here's how I'd approach it: In My Home: Safety First: I’d pet-proof the entire space, ensuring that there are no hazardous objects within reach. Gates, secure fencing, and safety locks would be in place to keep pets out of potentially dangerous areas. Comfort & Familiarity: I’d keep their favorite items, like blankets, toys, and beds, to maintain a sense of their home. That way, they have a comforting and familiar environment, even if it’s not their usual space. Structured Routine: Consistent feeding, play, and nap times would be followed to ensure they feel safe and secure. I’d keep a quiet and calm environment for any pets that need it (especially older pets or those who are nervous). Constant Supervision: Whether indoors or outside, I’d always supervise their activities and playtime, especially if they’re unfamiliar with the space or other animals. In Your Home: Respecting Their Space: I’d make sure to keep your pet’s routine as close to normal as possible. That includes feeding them at their usual time, sticking to familiar play areas, and continuing any training or habits you’ve established. Safety & Security: Your pet’s safety would always come first. I’d make sure all doors and gates are secure, and never leave pets unsupervised in risky situations (like near a busy road or an open window). Environmental Consistency: I’d keep their surroundings clean, quiet, and comfortable. If your pet has any specific comfort items, like a special bed or blanket, I’d make sure to use those to make them feel more at home. I’d also keep a line of communication open with you, updating you regularly on how your pet’s doing. Does your pet have any special needs or preferences that I should be aware of for either setting?
“Megan has been so great taking our reactive / energetic lab on walks! We wanted zazu to walk with someone who could help reinforce good behaviors and we are already seeing improvements in her comfortability on the leash. Thank you Megan!”

Palms dog parents share their Rover experiences
We reached out on short notice, but she was incredibly flexible and accommodating. Not only did she take our dog for a walk, she also kindly refreshed his food, water, and pee pads. We couldn’t be happier with her care, and we’ll definitely ask her to look after our dog again in the future!

There’s no one more reliable and caring than Colleen! I am so happy I found her and so happy to have her walk my dog! She is easy to coordinate with, great communicator, plans ahead for schedule changes, and so kind and attentive to my senior guy with a big personality. Highly recommend!!

I booked Jane last minute and she was amazing! She arrived right on time, kept me super updated before she arrived and after the walk, and Apollo came back so happy (and is now napping hard 😄). Really appreciate her communication and care — I’ll definitely be booking with her again!
