Thomas was so quick to respond to every question, and very flexible. Our big girl is nervous, but Thomas did a wonderful job gaining her trust and was so patient with her. Will definitely book again!

About: Lifelong dog lover with 13 years of experience as a dog mom. This summer my beloved dog passed away. I’m trying Rover because I relied on it so much and life is better shared with a dog! I’ve also been a trusted sitter for friends. I work from home, so your pup will get plenty of attention and companionship all day. From playful pitties to gentle pugs, I adapt to every dog’s needs — long walks, senior care, and medication included. I’ll love your dog like my own! I currently work from home, so have lots of time and flexibility for walks and attention. I work on the computer typically 8am-5pm, but can break during the day and have nights free. I offer dog care in my home in Del Ray. The dog is welcome anywhere in my second floor apartment space (close to exit). I take care to understand routines to set the dog up for success (feeding times, exercise, sleeping, etc.).

Margaret was great with my dog Sadie. In fact, I hadn’t seen Sadie warm up to anyone as quick as she did with Margaret! She followed instructions and was very accommodating. She took great care of things and I will definitely use her again!

Charlotte was amazing and took good care of our Badger (1yr rat terrier) when she took her for two daily walks while we were out of town. She was very communicative the whole time and sent plenty of photos and gave us any updates. She also took the time to come meet us the week before so she could get acquainted with Badger and our place. I can’t recommend her enough!

Ya Lun is a lifesaver. I had dog daycare plans fall through right before a work function and Ya Lun was able to come and do an additional walk and also fed my pup while I was away on an extended work day. I’m not sure what I would have done without her.

About: I’ve cared for dogs for over ten years, from gentle seniors to calm companions who enjoy a steady routine. Friends and neighbors trust me for consistent, low-stress care. I’m patient, safety-minded, and happiest when a quiet borker is snoozing nearby while I work. I also am a keen equestrian. I work remotely full-time from my home in Del Ray, so I’m here throughout the day to keep attentive care to your dog. My routine is steady morning and afternoon walks, quiet downtime, and evening play in the on-site dog park. Because I only host one guest at a time, your pup’s schedule stays calm and consistent. I work from home in a quiet job. My apartment complex has a secure, private dog park for safe off-leash time, and I maintain a quiet, clean, non-smoking home. I host only one dog at a time and prefer mellow, well-mannered pups so the space stays peaceful. You’ll receive regular photo updates and open communication - my goal is a calm, low-stress stay.

About: I’ve cared for my own dog and for dogs and cats of friends, taking care of everything from daily walks and feeding to playtime and keeping them company. I truly love animals and pay close attention to how they feel, what they need, and what makes them happy. I’m very active, so walks and outdoor time are a natural part of my routine, but I also enjoy the calm moments, especially when spending quiet time with cats. Every pet has its own rhythm and personality, and I always make sure they feel loved, safe, and understood. I work as a freelancer, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for pets. I’m available for different services at various times throughout the day, including mornings, afternoons, and weekends. Whether you need regular walks, drop-in visits, or weekend care, I can easily adjust to your pet’s routine I live in a second floor apartment surrounded by plenty of green space, perfect for walks and outdoor time. I can take care of pets in my home or at their own place, depending on what makes them feel most comfortable.

Crisa was such a help in such a short time. She took notes of what my fur kids need it, and asked good questions. Definitely keep conversation going during the visit vs giving up on my older dog. My girls love her specially with her bringing them a lovely treat. What a good gesture. Will definitely recommend her any time and book her again for any future needs. Thank you Crisa

Adriana deserves 1000 stars!! I actually booked a dog walk for someone else - My friend is home with a newborn baby and two rowdy labs so I wanted to get her dogs out of the house for a little to help. Adriana messaged me back immediately and was happy to help! She was incredibly accommodating, professional and asked me all of the important questions so she was prepared when she arrived. She sent photos and handled the two labs wonderfully. The dogs loved her and she absolutely made the new mom's day. I would trust her with my dogs any day. Thank you so much Adriana for your kindness!

About: I'm the trusted friend everyone relies on to look after their dogs and I love it! From puppies to seniors, your paws are in good hands. Flexible schedule for boarding and daycare in my home. Or, I'm happy to house sit while you're traveling so your pup can stay in their home. Safety is paramount, and your fur baby and home are my priorities. I live in a very dog-friendly community surrounded by walking trails and dog parks. However, if napping is your pup's priority, my couch is theirs!

Kathryn did a fantastic job looking after our fur babies. She only had to look after Kamo mainly but went through extra mile to give some love and treats to Murphy. She was very attentive to details, and communicated very well when needed for questions. Most of all the pets responded very well to her! We were happy to have her help!
