“Kylee was fantastic! Showed up on time everyday and my dog always came home tired and happy! She even went above and beyond to make sure Moose got extra care and attention.”

“Olivia is a great dog walker! She genuinely cares for the pets and makes sure they're taken care of before she leaves them. My Daisy looked forward to her daily visits and got so excited to see her open the door to greet her. Would definitely reach out to Olivia again for future services. Daisy will be so happy to see her again!”

About: I dog sit of my friend dog once a while for almost 5 years. She normally stay with me more than 7 days. I’m good at take her out for a walk even during raining day. I love to give them belly rub. I spend most of my weekend at home so I have time to take care pet during the weekend. I like to take pet wherever I go, otherwise I feel bad for leave them at home for a long time. I live in a two story townhouse with 2 bedrooms, offering plenty of space for small dogs to comfortably move around and go up and down the stairs. There’s a community park right outside my home, and I love spending time outdoors. I’m happy to take dogs on long walks and make sure they get plenty of exercise and fresh air, especially if they enjoy being active.
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life—growing up with several dogs and caring for cats for as long as I can remember. This lifelong experience has taught me how to recognize different pet personalities and meet their unique needs, whether that means playful energy for younger pets or calm patience for older companions. I’m comfortable with daily routines, administering lots of love and attention, and making sure pets feel safe and cared for while their people are away. I’m currently in grad school and interning part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to caring for pets. Spending time with fur babies is honestly the best break from schoolwork—it helps me recharge and brings so much joy to my day. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or just keeping pets company, I love making pet care part of my weekly routine. In a client’s home, I follow your pet’s routine closely—whether that’s feeding, playtime, walks, or cuddles—so they feel safe and comfortable in their own space. I always keep things tidy, refresh water bowls, and make sure litter boxes or potty breaks are taken care of. When pets are in my home, they’re treated like family. I make sure they get plenty of love, attention, and play, along with a cozy place to rest. I keep the environment safe and pet-friendly, and I’m happy to accommodate any special instructions to make sure your furry friend feels right at home.
“Elizabeth walked my dog for three days in a row while I recovered she was patient with Stanley he looked forward to the walks every day. She put up with his gopher hobby and squirrel addiction.”

“Emily was on time, and asked thoughtful questions around how Ronnie walks, potty breaks, harness, snacks, and what I recommend when it the temperature is too hot for a typical walk. I could tell she has dogs and takes good care of them. Ronnie came back so happy and gave her a ton of kisses showing that he trusted her on the walk! Already booked follow up walks!”


About: No walk is too long with a four-legged companion! I've raised and walked dogs since they were puppies to "mature" adults. Also, dealt with large dogs with aggressive tendencies. I am currently a self-employed chef, so I have the freedom to make my own schedule. I can almost always be available with one day's notice. I love playing with dogs in their own yards and or homes. It shows you a whole other side of them. And, of course, feeding time is the way to any dog's heart! (or human) I am living in a 2-bedroom apartment so large dogs are not preferred. However, I have had large dog sleepovers with no problems. Just lots of walks! :)
“Mia did a great job walking our energetic boy Luka and always made sure he had water after their walks. He was always excited to see her. Mia left plenty of info on the report card and would send separate messages with more detail of Lukas walk which was always very helpful. Communication was always great and we would definitely book again in the future.”


About: I bring more than 20 years of professional experience in veterinary medicine and animal welfare, caring for pets and supporting the people who love them. My background includes veterinary hospital leadership and many years with the San Francisco SPCA, and I'm also Fear Free Certified. I have extensive experience with pets of all ages, personalities, and needs, including puppies, seniors, anxious or fearful pets, multi-pet households, medication routines, and pets who may need a little extra patience and attention. My Fear Free training helps me recognize signs of fear, anxiety, and stress and adjust my approach so each pet can feel as safe and comfortable as possible. My veterinary background also means I pay attention to the little things. I'm accustomed to noticing changes in behavior, appetite, mobility, energy, or overall wellbeing and communicating concerns promptly. Most importantly, I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else's care. I'll treat your pets like they're my own, follow their routines closely, and make sure you get plenty of updates and photos while you're away. My schedule is currently very flexible, which gives me plenty of availability for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week. I'm available weekdays and weekends and can accommodate morning, daytime, and evening visits. I also understand how important consistency is for pets, so I'll do my best to keep their normal feeding, walking, medication, and bedtime routines intact while you're away. With my experience in veterinary medicine and animal welfare and Fear Free certification, I'm very comfortable caring for pets with different personalities, behaviors, ages, and needs. When caring for pets in your home, I'll follow your instructions closely and treat your home with the same care and respect I'd want someone to show mine. I'll double-check doors, gates, leashes, and other safety details, keep your pet's environment clean, and provide updates and photos so you always know how things are going. I know you're trusting me with two things that matter enormously—your pet and your home—and I don't take either responsibility lightly.

“Candi was great with Gus! Upon arriving to my house she found he had locked himself in the bathroom she Cleaned up the bathroom and him and helped me out a ton! Truly appreciate it! Very communicative!”

“Emily is incredible! She has been walking our 2 (big) dogs for about 2 weeks now and the boys are loving the walks. Emily is very alert to all their needs and is even helping to train them along the way. Booking with Emily was super easy and she always responds quickly to any/all messages. I would definitely recommend her services! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”


About: Experiences: I have worked at Bishop Ranch Veterinary, Canyonwyck Kennels, Danville Paw Spa, DogMah Spa, Wunderbar’s Pet Hotel, NomNom and now have branched out to doing dog boarding! So yeah, I know a thing or two about dogs lol. Not including my family’s long list of pets that I have cared for throughout the years. In fact it wasn’t always about working with anything dog related. Prior to that I have worked as a flight planner for Lufthansa, British Airways World Cargo & Emirates from Freight Forwarding companies. I also own a few rental properties as well. I had to follow my heart and change career, and little did I know that what I did as a kid is what I was really meant to do now. Just all grown up! ** Because of my pack, my clients have mentioned that their dog has developed socialization skills!** About me: I simply L-O-V-E dogs! What can I say.. Fun, loyal and loving. Through my life's journey, my dog Pennie has brought out the best in me. She was a blessing in disguise. I loved her so much that I thanked God everyday for blessing me with such an amazing dog. Who understood me and yet still continued to love ME at the end of each day no matter what. She was definitely one of many that meant everything to me. She has my heart. And she is the REASON why I do what I do. Now our pack has grown! Ellie, Tinkerbell, Bailey, Coco, Gizmo and Arya has made our lives EVEN better and kept Pennie feeling young =). Of course when their sissy was still here. But I don’t doubt that she isn’t still bossing them around wherever she is! I decided to dedicate the time I have in taking care of other people's dogs because I understand what their needs and expectations are. Genuinely speaking from the past of wanting to travel or if dogs weren't allowed, in addition could not find anyone that met my needs without the constant worry was stressful enough. It’s because I adore them so much that I really just wanted someone honest to take care of them. Not to say that anybody I knew was not trustworthy, but more so wouldn't just focus on the money itself. For me it’s not work. It is my life. And I found my purpose in caring for dogs. Schedule: I’m a new stay at home mom to our baby girl! Therefore I have a bit more free time to exchange and make up for lost times. From belly rubs, to playing, to cuddling. Everything that a dog needs in life! Safety environment: We have a fenced yard with plenty of room to play, run and potty! Our house has plenty of room to roam around or just lounge. We have baby gates set up blocking certain rooms, making it easier to keep an eye on everyone. Feeding times are always monitored as well as indoor and any outdoor activities. If you have any questions, send me a message! -Rachel #DOGMom
About: I strive to provide a welcoming, enriching home away from home for your dog. To ensure the best care possible, I only accept up to 2 dogs at a time. You can expect regular updates throughout your pup’s stay. Safety is a top priority. I check my yard regularly for potential hazards and do paw checks for foxtails after every walk. I have a large fenced yard with plenty of space for zoomies. Dogs can explore the garden, sunbathe on the grass, or lounge under the shaded pergola. Pets are welcome on the couch, and I also have extra dog beds and an indoor dog house for pups who prefer a little more personal space. My experience: I have a 6yo maltipoo named Chewy and 14yo shihtzu named Joey. They are very respectful of other dogs’ personal space. I trained Chewy using positive reinforcement and taught him many tricks and commands. I have been caring for dogs of all sizes and ages since I was 15. My senior dog experience includes fostering one who was adopted into her forever home and providing long-term care for two others. I’m very comfortable administering medication, preparing special diets, and grooming. Rover is a side hobby, and I ask for a little advance notice so I can prepare for my doggie guest. I follow the schedule provided by the paw-parents. If none is given then it’s usually a morning potty break, breakfast, walk, mid day potty break, dinner, and potty before bedtime. Playtime is sprinkled throughout the day or I may incorporate it with their meal time like food in a puzzle toy. I tailor care to each dog’s needs. Every day includes physical exercise or mental stimulation such as daily walks, fetch, tug-of-war, command training, puzzle toys. Let me know how your preferences during the Meet & Greet so I can match your dog’s routine.
About: I’ve always loved animals of all kinds. Insects, reptiles, rats, especially cats and dogs. I’ve also volunteered at the ASPCA for a year! I have experience with almost all animals, and I’d love to help take care of yours! I take care of two pets of my own, but currently don’t have a stable job. My days are open! Might as well do what I love and get payed for it. XD I have a calm smaller dog, and a cat who LOVES dogs (she’s strange I know). I live right next to a huge park and walking trail.
About: I've taken care of my own pets (2 cats, previously rats and hamsters), who has 18 years of veterinary hospital experience and learned, adapted knowledge. Any time, any place, as long as I can reach the home, I can watch or visit your pet on any particular day. Dogs or cats. I can visit or stay, depending on the client's wants and needs; I care for my own cats with oral medication and a special diet.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Pleasant Hill
Stephanie is awesome! My big lab is pretty anxious and excitable around new people and she warmed right up to Stephanie. She is super calm, confident, and obviously an experienced dog handler, and I felt great about sending my big fur baby off with her for an adventure. Will definitely be hiring her again for dog walks!

I wanted to write a new review since my last review was in May when I had my first walk by Emily. I wanted to come to rover and give an updated review. Emily is extremely caring and responsive. She gives detailed updates, sends cute pictures and takes really great care of my dog Ronnie (who is high energy and strong). I feel like I always can rely on her and will continue to use her moving forward as one of my dog walkers. thank you Emily for being so great.

We have had wonderful experiences working with Kelly. Our dog hasn’t had much exposure to new people and can be a bit nervous around strangers, but she was incredibly patient, kind, and understanding. She took the time to help our dog feel comfortable, and we were so impressed with how quickly trust developed. She was also extremely communicative, keeping us updated and answering any questions we had, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. In addition, Kelly has been very flexible and willing to help us coordinate dog sitting coverage during an important time for our family. Her reliability, professionalism, and genuine care for our dog has truly stood out. We are so grateful for her help and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate dog walker or pet sitter!
