About: Currently own 8 fur babies! I’ve done pet sitting since high school from family and friends. Have experience with big, small, medium dogs, cats and exotics! I'm a part time college student at the moment! I have plenty of free time to check on your pets and take good care of them! My dogs have a big fenced in yard to play in all day and access to water 24/7 with the ability to come inside whenever they want
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life and honestly wouldn’t have it any other way. Now that my daughter has moved out (and took the family dogs with her), my home feels way too quiet. I’m an empty nester with lots of love, time, and patience to give to your pup. I live in a calm, quiet neighborhood and have a large, secure backyard with plenty of space to roam, sniff, and relax—perfect for dogs who love being outdoors but also enjoy a cozy place to rest. I’m experienced with daily walks, feeding routines, medications if needed, baths, and lots of affection. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, comfortable, and truly at home while you’re away. I’m retired and home most of the day, so pet care fits very naturally into my routine. I’m a homebody who truly enjoys spending time with animals. The only time I regularly leave the house is briefly to pick up my granddaughter from daycare. If a dog enjoys being out and about, I’m happy to include them in walks, outings, or dog-friendly errands—whether that’s a neighborhood stroll, a park visit, or a café stop. Of course, I always follow each owner’s preferences and only take dogs out if they’re comfortable and approved to do so. I live in a quiet, safe neighborhood in the Terranova area of Chula Vista with very little traffic. My home has a large, secure backyard where dogs can safely play, explore, and relax. I supervise all outdoor time and carefully follow each dog’s routine, leash rules, and care instructions. Whether your dog prefers staying close to home or enjoys safe, dog-friendly outings, my goal is to provide a calm, loving environment where they feel secure, included, and truly at home.
About: Hello, caring for your pets and home like my own! I have gained experience with dogs of all life stages and sizes. I'm working as a Wag walker, and use other platforms to bring you the best service possible, just ask. Boarding is offered if the owner is comfortable with me locating their dog to Rialto, there will be no dogs, beyond their own to be cared for. A safer space for the family. I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was a kid. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I am currently working with wag as a walker. My schedule is currently suited for for my availability Best described as on call And taking requests. I have 2 fence yards to offer 1 with 3 dogs and another location with one dog further away away. 1 location is safer and more controllable so preferably discussing the parameters preferred by the owner beforehand would be nice.
About: I will care for your pet as if they were mine, I can take pet to the dog park, vet appointments, or anywhere needed! If your schedule sometimes demands you to be out of town, I can sit overnight. I want you to be completely content while your fur baby is in my care . I have had cats and dogs all my life. I currently have a cat that I have had for 12 years, and a 5 yr old dingo dog that I have trained, and I also have a 1 year old french bulldog. I love them all and they are part of my family. What sets me apart from other sitters is that I treat your animals like they are my own too. I treat them with so much love! I’m part time working and getting my bachelors hybridly. I have plenty of time to fit all animals into my schedule! I can’t wait to meet some of your babies! My dogs sleep in my bed and get the best care. My cat has her own personality so she roams about freely inside the house - but I care for my pets so much. They get the best of the best because you are their whole life!
“Great at everything. Always keeping me in the loop with everything that my dog does. Great pictures to see that he's doing great. Will definitely book again when the time is needed.”
About: Ive taken care of dogs ages ranging from 2-15. I’ve also been relied on to take on care for a boxer mix for a client’s 7 month deployment. I’m available everyday starting at 3pm and free every single weekend. If communicated beforehand I can make adjustments and make a schedule that can accommodate both of us! :) I have a dog named Max (maltipoo) I will love and care for your furbaby as my own. Hopefully Max can meet his future friends!
“Elizabeth was a rock star with my dog. She jumped in on short notice and was kind, responsible, and punctual. She took and sent photos through the app each time showing the walk and feeding after. She clearly had experience handling dogs coming in and I will gladly rely on her again in the future.”

“Sheldon loves Dayna (and so do we)! Dayna arrived right on time and Sheldon was immediately comfortable for their first walk together. Thank you, Dayna for checking on the behaviors we are working on and reinforcing those - much appreciated!”

About: I have years of hands on experience caring for dogs of all ages and personalities. Growing up, I helped care for our blind and deaf dog, which taught me patience, attentiveness, and how to communicate with dogs beyond just verbal cues. That experience really shaped the way I approach pet care with calm energy, awareness, and compassion. I’m very mindful on walks, always prioritizing safety for your pets, other pets, and myself. I’m confident handling different temperaments and know how to stay alert, create space when needed, and keep walks structured and positive. I’m comfortable with puppies who are still learning leash manners, as well as senior dogs who need a slower, gentler pace. I’m patient, reliable, and genuinely love spending time outdoors with dogs. I pay close attention to their body language, energy levels, and comfort so every walk feels safe, calm, and enjoyable. I truly treat every dog like my own. I’m enthusiastic about providing not just exercise, but a caring and trustworthy experience :) I currently work full time four days a week, and while my schedule can vary at times, I plan my availability carefully and keep my calendar updated. I’m very communicative and transparent about the days and times I’m available so pet parents can feel confident booking with me. Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy and see as more than just a job it’s a hobby and a way for me to stay active and enjoy the outdoors like I did when I had dogs of my own. Spending time walking and caring for dogs is something that truly makes me happy. I also understand that many families need reliable help, whether it’s due to work, travel, or busy schedules, and I love being someone they can count on. With military life being part of my world right now, I know it’s not the right time for me to have a dog of my own, which makes caring for other people’s pups even more meaningful to me. I treat every dog like they’re my own and genuinely value the time I get to spend with them. Safety and trust are my top priorities in any home environment. I currently have cats, so my home is a calm, small and low maintenance space. They are playful but mostly relaxed and enjoy their quiet routines. Because they can be a bit skittish around dogs, I do not offer dog care in my own home to ensure everyone feels safe and comfortable.
About: I offer reliable, loving dog care with plenty of attention, playtime, and patience. I treat every dog like family and adapt to their energy level, routine, and personality so they feel safe and happy in my care. I carefully follow all owner instructions, including feeding, walks, medications, and special care needs. Whether your dog loves active play or just wants companionship and reassurance, I make sure they’re comfortable, well cared for, and given lots of affection while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I currently have a flexible schedule while working on building my own entrepreneurial business. That flexibility allows me to dedicate quality time to each pet and adapt to their routines, whether that means visits, walks, feeding, playtime, or simply keeping them company. I’ve been pet sitting for years for family, friends, and acquaintances, and it’s always been one of my favorite side gigs because I genuinely enjoy caring for animals and getting to know their personalities. Since it’s something I’ve done and loved for a long time, I decided to start offering my services to more people in my local community. At this time, I’m only able to offer care in my client’s home, where pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. I take time to get to know each pet’s personality and adapt to their individual needs. I carefully follow the owner’s instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, and routines, and I always make sure fresh water is available. I also provide playtime, affection, and companionship based on what each pet is comfortable with, whether they want lots of cuddles or a little extra personal space. I pay close attention to their behavior and physical condition so I can quickly notice if something seems off, helping ensure they stay safe, healthy, and happy while you’re away.

“Carla came through for us when we really needed her. She was so accommodating and gave me the best feedback on the dogs activities. I was able to enjoy my day without any worry! My dogs are my world and it was so great to have Carla caring for them!”

About: Ive been taking care of pets since I was a little kid, family pets (walks, baths, trims, etc) as well as currently watching friends/co-workers animals for extended periods of time. I have a dog myself and they always enjoy each other's company. I'm currently in the military and mainly available during the weekend but I do have time during the week. You can easily just ask or I will just show that I am available. If during the week, I am typically at work between 7am to 3ish pm. If need be, I can come home during lunch and take of your pet.

Rancho Del Rey dog parents share their Rover experiences
Great experience with our Rover dog walker, Isabella! She took excellent care of both of my dogs, was reliable, communicative, and clearly loves animals. My dogs came back happy and well exercised. I really appreciated the updates and photos during the walks. Highly recommend!

Nicolas is just great w dogs. He has a way with our big Staffy that keeps her in check and she still has a great relaxed walk. If you need an all around good person watching or walking your fur babies, Nicolas is the guy. I’m so lucky our family and our dog has met him.

As a 1st time user of this app and service to walk my 95lb XL pit I was a bit nervous. I requested a last minute booking with James an hour before the time I selected and he accepted right away! James is very friendly with a calm energy and has years of experience with many different large breeds. James showed up on time and well prepared with items I hadnt thought of and it was much appreciated. James did a fantastic job walking my XL pit sending regular updates from start to finish. I highly recommend giving James a try if your in need of a dog walker. His fees are reasonable so I was able to afford an hour booking. I will be using James again in the near future exclusively for any sessions booked.
