“Danielle took great care of Percy!”
“Patrick was great sitter for my 2 cats! He was able to gain the trust of my shy cat and sent plenty of videos and pictures of them to me. This was my first time using rover so really eased my nerves. I would definitely recommend him to anyone needing a sitter/just to check in on their pets.”

About: I had 2 dogs when I was a kid, I love and respect dogs, I wish I can have my own dog, talk to him/her anytime, let him/her enjoy playing outside when I work in the garden, eat ice cream under the sun, go to the beach shout and run, if my puppy likes to bring some tree branches come back home I’ll happy to keep them…But life here, it’s costly to have a dog, and I can’t accept one day he/she will leave me, also if I go travel , it’s hard for me to find someone really care about my dog, even my relatives I can’t trust ( because some of my plants died during my 1 month travel, and I even can’t complain). So, you’re very lucky that you have a dog (or more) , I’m happy that there’s an app for me to meet and walk with puppys! Please give me a chance to let the wonderful start ~! I’m currently working part-time, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups~! I’m available on weekdays: 9:30am- 2pm, weekends: 9am-4pm, also available in holidays~! I’ll do as pets parents wants me to, where to walk, what to feed, I can take good photos for your puppy as much as you want, I’ll pick up the dog poop when we walk, I don’t talk on the phone all the time, also not play social media during the walk. If there have anything you concern, please let me know.

“Taylor- thank you for taking great care of our pup today while we all had to be out of the house.”
About: I currently have 2 dogs. One is old and the other is young so I have experience dealing with both temperaments together and seperate. I am good at tailoring to all needs whether it a slow stroll, an energetic pup, or basic training! I am a student at Cal Poly Slo and my schedule is very light. I am done with class at 12 or 2 so the rest of my days are free to assist with any help for the animals. I grew up taking care of my dogs like feeding, walking, and training them. I love all dogs and being away from my dogs at home makes me extra loving towards any dog I come across!
About: My main goal is to make your furry best friend(s) the happiest and healthiest they can be while you are away. Growing up with a plethora of animals, from dogs to horses to birds to cats, I have been an animal lover since the day I was born. I have continued nurturing this throughout my life in my jobs, hobbies, and schooling. As a teen, my neighbors depended on me to care for their dogs and other pets, providing multiple daily walks, strict feeding regimens, and tons of play time and love. In my adulthood, I worked for a top-rated dog daycare and boarding facility, elevating my dog care skills. I have worked with canines ranging from 4 months to 16 years old. I am adept at specialized feedings, proper cleaning protocols, leash work, behavioral management, administering various medications, and de-escalating dog fights. I am currently applying to some schooling opportunities, so I have a flexible schedule to be able to play with your pups! I am available to house sit, do drop-in visits, and walk your pups any day of the week after 7:00am. I have occasional days off that you can find listed in my calendar. I will treat your home, belongings, and dogs with the utmost respect and care. I take pride in making sure to leave things as I found them when I enter your home and in following your specific care instructions/preferences for your pup.
About: My passion in life is taking care of Animals especially dogs and cats. I have grown up with dogs/cats for all of my life so 19 years so far. I knew since 10 I would do anything for my pets and I wanted to learn more so I started to do research and still to this day I’m learning the absolute most that I can so I can eventually become a dog trainer after schooling, than I’ll be able to start my dream Goal to start a rehabilitation center for dogs in need. My goal is to save the dogs that are close to being put down or they have severe behavior problems. In my family we have a total of 6 dogs right now, my mother fostered many dogs and puppies which opened my eyes to such an incredible experience and knowledge. I know how to handle dogs from tiny to large, I am very strong and can handle big dogs larger than 70 lb. I love dogs (and cats) with a passion and would love to be able to help in any way that I can. Thank you for taking the time to consider me! I am currently working from 6am-2:30pm Monday-Thursday and Saturday. I’m free after 2:30 or Friday and Sunday. If you have any questions please feel free to ask! Where I am living at the moment I am not allowed my pets so they stay at my fathers house. I go home everyday after work to walk/run my dog Lucy (Rottweiler, Pit-bull, German Shepard mix) I feed her, give her a training lesson and give her the absolute best love/ cuddles. I also take care of my cat aswell when I get home and when I’m not there my dad will feed them and take them on walks.

17. Gaia H.
“Gaia was such a gift to find on this app! She recently took my 55lb Belgian Tervuren, Shadow , on a walk and even to the beach! I could tell my old guy (approaching 16) had just the best time. Gaia took the time to get to know my dog…giving him ample time to “sniff her out.” She passed his vibe check & mine 😊 — It’s rare to find someone who genuinely cares about your pet, but I felt completely at ease knowing my boy was in great hands. I could tell Shadow was exhausted but so happy when they got back & it made my day knowing he had such an awesome experience. I’d highly recommend Gaia to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, trustworthy, and fearless (can handle dogs that are a bit mouthy when they play) dog lover to play/walk/care for their pet! 🐾💙”
