Dog Walking In Panoramic Hill

“Kat was just terrific taking care of our two fox-red labs. She went “above and beyond” with long walks and play on some pretty rainy days. I would use and highly recommend Kat without hesitation. She is an absolute gem. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Irina is great. We set up a pre-meet with her and she was exactly on time and asked good questions about our dog. We departed early in the morning for our trip, and Irina was scheduled to come to the house at about 10 am to take him out for a walk. We were a bit nervous because it was our first time with Irina, but she arrived exactly on time for the dog walk. She checked-in afterward with us and sent a photo as well We think that Irina is excellent and strongly recommend her.”

About: What sets me apart is the level of intention and care I bring to every pet I watch. I don’t see this as just a service — I truly believe pets are gifts and important members of the family, and I treat them that way. I’m comfortable caring for pets at all life stages. With young pets, I reinforce positive behaviors, basic training cues, and consistent routines to help support what owners are already working on. I’m patient and understand that puppies and kittens need structure, energy outlets, and clear boundaries. For senior pets, I provide a calm, gentle approach. I’m attentive to mobility needs, slower routines, medication schedules if needed, and making sure they’re comfortable and not overstimulated. I pay close attention to behavior changes and subtle cues so I can adjust care appropriately. I also prioritize communication and reliability. I provide thoughtful updates and photos so owners feel confident and connected while they’re away. Overall, I focus on individualized care — meeting each pet where they are and making sure they feel safe, understood, and well cared for. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I intentionally structure my schedule to make sure I have dedicated time and energy for each pet I’m caring for — whether that’s drop-ins, feedings, play sessions, or overnight stays. I don’t overbook because I want every animal to get focused attention, not rushed visits. I build pet care into my mornings and evenings especially, when most cats feel most active and engaged, and I make time throughout the day for check-ins, updates, and communication with owners. Caring for pets isn’t something I “squeeze in” — it’s something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize in my week. My approach to pet care is centered around keeping things as close to a pet’s normal routine as possible, because that’s what helps them feel safe and relaxed. In a client’s home, I follow all feeding schedules, litter box routines, and household preferences carefully. I make sure cats have clean spaces, fresh water, enrichment through play, and plenty of affection (or space, if that’s what they prefer). I also keep the home tidy and send regular updates with photos so owners feel connected and reassured while they’re away. If caring for a pet in my home, I focus on creating a calm, low-stress environment where they have a comfortable place to rest and decompress. I’m intentional about introductions, stimulation levels, and maintaining consistency with their usual feeding and play routine. I pay close attention to behavior and mood changes so I can adjust care as needed. Whether in my home or yours, I focus on patience, safety, and individualized attention. Every pet has a different personality — some want lots of play and interaction, others prefer quiet companionship — and I tailor my care to what makes them happiest and most comfortable.

About: I’ve always grown up with cats and dogs since I was a little kid. I believe in pet therapy. I’m here to support you and fur baby when needed! I’m currently on break from my work at a school site where I would bring my dog to work with me. :) I work remotely as a very part-time freelancer so I’m home each afternoon. My apartment is very pet friendly with tons of toys, treats, sofa covers, etc. I also live within walking distance of multiple gated, community parks.

“Samantha did such a great job with both our senior large dog and our small puppy. She walked them and fed them and followed all of our instructions. She was also very flexible as my schedule changed and was happy to accommodate our changes. I would definitely book her dog walking services again!”

About: I have been around and taking care of animals since I was a kid! Growing up on my grandmas farm with 7 dogs, 5 horses, 9 cats and about 50 llamas taught me how to properly care for animals of all kinds, and how they can also take care of you! I had a pug named Fergus growing up and have lived with a pitbull mix for about 6 years, who I love to care for. I have also always had cats and have raised 3 rabbits! I love animals of all kinds, I can’t wait to meet yours ! I am an art student, and would love to care for your pet in my free time ! I’m available weekends and afternoons mon-friday ! I am not currently available available to host pets in my home but would love to visit your pet in your home to feed, give love and attention and let them out to run around and play games !

About: Hi! My name is Natalie Dodge, and I recently relocated from New York City to the Bay Area. I’m so excited to connect with fellow pet lovers in my new community! Animals have always been an important part of my life, and I bring years of hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs of all ages, sizes, and energy levels. I’ve provided reliable pet sitting services for friends, neighbors, and clients, including drop-in visits, long walks, feeding routines, and plenty of playtime and affection. I understand how important it is to maintain a pet’s routine while their owner is away, and I always prioritize making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. In addition to pet sitting, I previously worked at a professional dog washing and grooming shop, where I gained experience handling dogs with a wide range of personalities. That role taught me how to read animal body language, practice safe handling techniques, and remain calm and patient in any situation. It also deepened my passion for attentive, compassionate animal care. I treat every pet as if it were my own and believe clear communication with owners is just as important as quality time with their animals. I’m happy to send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands. I would love the opportunity to care for your furry family member! I'm currently not working much, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your fur-babies! I have access to a car, and also use public transport, so I am able to bring animals on good walks in and out of the neighborhood. I grew up having 2 cats and 1 dog, and with all my other pet-sitting experience, I know how to care for pets in a loving and detail-oriented way.

About: I have about 6 years of extensive pet care. Taking care of family friends pets has allowed for a wide range of types of dogs all ages and sizes. From puppies to dogs with lots of medical problems, I love and care for each and every one. Growing up my family always had 2 dogs at once, so I’m able to multitask with multiple dogs. As a college student, I only go to classes one hour at a time and have the rest of the day to go for walks and feed. I’m not there too late or too early, so I’ll always be back for morning/evening walks and time for food. In clients home I make sure to follow their rules depending on each person. Crate if necessary, or making sure doors are closed and locked before I leave.

“Kayla was amazing. She came through in a pinch when I was too under the weather to walk my pup. She was very easygoing. She tired my dog out, which was exactly the goal. Thank you.”

“Our puppy loves when Jaz comes to take him out for his walk! She is great with him and very attentive to his needs. I really love the pictures she sends and detailed summary of what they did on their walk together. Thanks, Jaz!”

About: I grew up with a dog that I was responsible for from a young age until my late teens. Today, I am the go-to dog care person for family and friends. I love animals but especially dogs so I decided to try expanding my skills here on Rover. I have experience helping dogs who are injured and need medicine, active, semi-active, and mellow dogs too! My current schedule offers flexibility throughout the weekdays and most weekends, which helps me balance and accommodate dog owners' various schedules/needs throughout the entire week. At your home, I am a responsible and conscientous person, who treats someone's home with care. I am adaptable to different home environments. The main thing for me is feeling safe in the home and cleanliness -:) and that the dog is comfortable.

“Zebahdiah is a very calm person and handled my extremely excitable 70 lb pit bull very well. Although I have just had him for two walks so far, I have confidence that he has the competences he described in his profile on Rover.”

About: I grew up caring for my family dog back in San Diego and am a cat mom to a wonderful little tuxie! I bring patience and care to every pet I meet and am happy to adapt to their unique needs. I have a soft spot for senior pets and prioritize comfort in my care. Willing to go on long strolls with plenty of breaks to stop and sniff the roses (or mark them!). I’m currently taking a gap year and studying for graduate school, so I have plenty of flexibility and can work around schedules! I’m available most weekends and weekdays before 7pm. I like to get to know the unique personality of each pet I care for and tailor my approach based on temperament. Some pets need a little space to warm up, others are ready to play the second you meet them! I work diligently with pet parents to understand the needs of your fur babies because I know how important it is to have them in good hands.
