“Destiny has been amazing! She instantly clicked with my dog, Minne, which put me at ease right away. Communication was fast, clear, and thoughtful — I always knew when and how the walks were going. She was on time for every walk and gave me total peace of mind. I’ll definitely book her again. Thank you, Destiny!”

“Wei is amazing with my dog - she’s so happy to see Wei for her walks and always comes back tired. Wei is super reliable and very communicative, sending tons of pictures every booking”


“Jahnavi was wonderful! She was able to walk my dogs with very little notice when I was called into work on short notice and needed a dog walker. Jahnavi was very easy to communicate with and was amazing with our two dopey dogs. She took them to the beach and they clearly had the best time on their walk. Highly recommended!”

“Emily and Thomas were great with our dog Gracie! They came to walk her daily for a month while my partner was out of town on business. We highly recommend their services!”

About: I've been walking and caring for dogs of all sizes and breeds for over two years in Chicago. During that time, I built strong bonds with my furry clients and became a trusted companion for their owners. I'm attentive to each dog's unique personality and needs whether they're energetic and love long walks or prefer a gentle, relaxed pace. I always make sure pets feel safe, loved, and well-exercised. Your dog's happiness and well-being is my top priority! I structure my day around the animals in my care to make sure they always feel attended to and never rushed. I'm available most mornings and flexible throughout the week. I send regular updates and photos so owners always know their pet is happy and in good hands! When caring for pets in your home, my top priority is making them feel safe and comfortable in their own familiar environment. I follow your routines, feeding schedules, and any special instructions closely. I'm calm, patient, and attentive especially with anxious or sensitive animals. You can count on me to treat your home and your pet with the utmost respect and care.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs. I currently have a cat of my own who I’ve raised since she was a kitten, so I understand just how important patience, routine, and lots of love are. I also grew up with dogs, which taught me early on how much attention, care, and personality each pet brings to the table. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or just keeping them company, I’m happy to meet your pet where they’re at. My goal is to step in as a calm, reliable stand-in for you—making sure your pet feels comfortable, cared for, and stress-free while you’re away. I treat every pet like they’re my own (with plenty of updates for you along the way!). I currently work part-time on weekends until 3pm, so I’m available for pet care in the afternoons and evenings on those days. During the week, I have a much more flexible schedule and can accommodate a variety of times depending on your pet’s needs. I do my best to plan my schedule thoughtfully so I can give each pet dedicated, attentive care without overbooking. When caring for pets in your home, I’m mindful that I’m stepping into both your space and your pet’s comfort zone. I treat every home with the same respect and care I would my own. I prioritize keeping your pet’s environment clean, especially their eating and play areas, so they can feel safe, relaxed, and at ease. I also do my best to maintain their usual routines to make the experience as smooth and stress-free as possible.
“Matthew’s been walking our Boston terrier with a lot of energy for over 6 months. He is very reliable, always shows up even when it’s raining and is very flexible / communicative. Definitely recommend Matthew for your pup! Hank loves him!”

“I have used Rover quite a bit now and Sophie stands out because of her background in puppy training. She is so good at reinforcing the behaviors I am looking for and always leaves my puppy better trained and happier than before. She also radiates a genuine concern and affection for my pup!”


About: I am reliable, loving and fun! I I will care for them as I would my own. I am the trusted sitter of most of my friends and family and love all the pets I am fortunate to have in my life! I pet sit on the weekends and on week days in the summer. I can taylor my schedule to meet the needs of your pet(s). I keep my pet care on a schedule. Pets feel more comfortable when they know what to expect and when. Even though cats are independent, they love and need human interaction. So, quality time, feeding, brushing, walking times are all on a schedule. It is easier for me that way as well.
“Dave has been fantastic with our dog. He was super responsive, communicative, and friendly throughout and our dog absolutely loves him. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our pup was in such good hands. Highly recommend!”

About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life, I've always loved all dogs. We truly do not deserve them, they are just the most purest form of love. I promise I will make sure your dog is safe, loved, and very well taken care of. My first dog was a pomeranian that lived till 17 and my current dog is 8 and just the sweetest pup ever. I have always trained my own dogs and take pride in their great behavior. I would love to be able to go for a walk with your dog! I am currently a full time mom and work only part time from home. My hours are pretty flexible but I would love to walk with your pups for about 2 hours a day between the hours of 11-4pm. I currently mostly walk my dog at an off leash dog park and prefer that only because my dog has great recall and he gets better exercise when off leash. I am definitely open to walking dogs on leash in your neighborhood.
“Miriam was friendly, responded to my request promptly, took our dog on a nice walk and provided details about where they went and what our dog did. I am happy to have had Miriam take our dog for a walk.”

About: I’m at Fort Funston or Pine Lake Park or one of the many petlands nearby. I’ve been a dog friend with my own dog family for over 20 years. We talk to each other frequently I’m retired and flexible, able to provide loving care with relatively little notice. I generally go on two longer walks each day where the dogs exercise me I have a fenced back yard in the Parkside/Sunset and own our home with my spouse and Zeke, our beagle mix. It is safe and secure
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since childhood and although I don’t have the space to be a dog owner in San Francisco I’d would love to give some care in the availability I have to sit for your dogs! I have a hybrid schedule where I work from home Monday and Friday and go into the office Tue-Thur. Returning by 5:30pm to caretake any bookings. I like to know the details from the dog owner if there are any restrictions/health/dietary guidelines to follow in caretaking and apply to ensure I am meeting the appropriate requirements for taking the best care.
Parkside dog parents share their Rover experiences
Jennifer was great with my dogs - a high energy golden retriever and a french bulldog mix. She walked them everyday for 10 days and provided me with updates. We live an are with coyotes and she was aware and cautious about that. I fully trust her with my dogs and highly recommend her.

Samuel did a great job walking Chase every day for a week. He was very communicative and responsive setting up meet and great, and stopping by to pick up instructions and keys. He sent photos of Chase each day on their walks. I would recommend Samuel for dog walking.

Destiny was an absolute lifesaver! I needed a last-minute walker and she came through without hesitation — and honestly, she set the bar high. From the start she was professional, responsive, and just genuinely lovely to work with. She even came prepared with treats, and took the time to ask permission and check about allergies first — such a thoughtful touch that showed she really cares about the dogs in her charge. My pup came home happy, wagging, and gloriously tired (every dog owner's dream!). You can tell he had a great time. If you're looking for someone you can trust with your fur baby — especially on short notice — Destiny is your person. We'll absolutely be booking again!
