“We just had Aubrey come the first time for our two big dogs and she was delightful. Punctual, great communicator and great with the dogs. My young one is usually very shy with new people, but she took to Aubrey immediately. We will be using her again!”

“Jacob was great with our dogs! He is patient, kind, and super communicative. Our dogs were happy to meet him, and we felt confident knowing they were in great hands. He has a great attention to detail as well as understanding of the different personalities dogs have. Thanks Jacob!”

About: I've owned cats and dogs and have taken care of other people's pets for many years. I enjoy connecting with animals and making sure they are at ease while in my care and also have a great time. I work from home as a web developer so I'm able to fit pet care easily around a pet's particular schedule. Most of my web client work occurs in the afternoon so I'm most available to walk and feed your pet in the morning, early afternoon, and evenings. With my flexible schedule I am able to spend ample time with your pet and tend to any specific needs they may have. I don't mind taking extra time and care to make your pet as comfortable as possible while you are away.

About: I've been volunteering at the Adoptions Department at Helen Woodard Animal Center for the past 3 years. I've been trained to care for dogs with different personalities or special needs. This includes energetic, strong, shy/timid, resource-guarding, and mouthy/nippy dogs. My wife and I have two cats, each with their own special needs. One requires medication via syringe in the mouth, eye drops, and even spoon-feeding nightly. The other one just likes to eat.... I'll make sure your cat(s) are taken care of and loved, even if it means I get in trouble with my own cats. Working remotely, so I have time to stop by and check in to make sure they're okay. I have my own car and pretty flexible with afternoons as well. I can come and check in on your babies and make sure they're taken care of. I have experience caring for all kinds of dogs and cats, including animals who may be shy, fearful, anxious, or reactive. I understand that every fur baby has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, and I’m patient with those who need a little extra time and space to feel safe. I also have experience working with animals who can be aggressive, and I know how important it is to remain calm, attentive, and respectful of their boundaries while always prioritizing safety. When you’re away, my goal is to make sure your pets feel comfortable and cared for, like nothing has changed. I’ll follow their normal routines, give them plenty of love and attention, and take the time to build trust at their pace. I also understand how important it is to trust someone in your home. My home is my safe space, and I know yours is too. I’ll treat your home with the same care and respect I would expect for my own—keeping it clean, secure, and just as you left it. Most importantly, I want you to have peace of mind while you’re away. I’ll keep a close eye on your fur babies, communicate with you, and make sure you feel confident knowing they’re safe, happy, and in caring hands.

About: Hi! My name is Kendra, and I've been around animals my entire life. From growing up with dogs to riding horses, caring for animals has always been a part of who I am. I've rescued a kitten and found her a loving home, fostered a dog that was adopted by a past roommate, pet sat neighborhood animals, and cared for my sister's Rottweiler and playful Pitbull puppy. Whether it’s walking, sitting, or simply spending quality time with your pets, I’ll treat them with the same love and attention as my own. I have a flexible work schedule during the week. I’m also available to take your furry friend on walks and provide care throughout the entire weekend. I’m flexible and happy to accommodate your schedule—I can’t wait to meet and care for your best friend! I care for pets as if they were my own, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. Whether in my home or yours, I’ll follow your provided schedule for feeding, take them out frequently for bathroom breaks, and go on multiple walks to keep them active and happy. Playtime is always a priority, and I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention and care while you’re away!

“Lauren is the best! She took excellent care of our cat. He absolutely adores her. She's very kind, professional and conscientious. It made traveling a lot easier for us, knowing that she was taking care of him. We will definitely be booking her again in the future!”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 20 years of pet sitting experience and a lifetime of caring for dogs. I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and currently have my own pup, so I truly understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy, patient, and loving to care for your pet. Whether your dog needs a fun walk, companionship while you’re away, or extra love and attention, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m experienced with different personalities, energy levels, and routines, and I’m happy to follow any specific instructions to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved! I work from home on my own flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care, walks, and drop-in visits throughout the day. I’m able to be reliable, attentive, and flexible to your pet’s routine and needs. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet and your home, and I treat both with the same care and respect I would my own. I make it a priority to follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications (if needed), and any special instructions to help them feel safe and comfortable. I also love providing updates and photos for peace of mind while you’re away.

About: Here's a Rover profile description for you, Robert: "Hi there! I'm Robert, an animal lover with a warm heart for both cats and dogs. I have my own furry family members at home, (3 cats 2 dogs) so I understand the love and care pets need. Originally from a background in resort security, I honed my skills at prestigious locations like La Costa and Aviara Golf Resorts in Carlsbad. My experience there taught me the importance of vigilance, care, and responsibility—qualities I bring to pet sitting. Whether your pet needs a playmate, a guardian, or just some tender loving care while you're away, I'm here to make sure they feel safe, loved, and happy. Let's make sure your pets enjoy their stay just as much as you enjoy your time away!" I work at Bandon Dunes golf course but my hours vary so I am very flexible. I will work with you to make sure that your pet is taken care of. I currently work and live at Bandon Dunes golf club so I am unable to house animals but I have plenty of experience in housesitting.

About: Ever since the age of 12, I have taken care of dogs that belonged to my neighbors, friends, and family. It's always a joy to work with all kinds of dogs! I was fortunate to be brought up in a pet friendly household. Currently I have one dog, two guinea pigs, and one horse! I love dedicating my time showing them lots of love and tend to their needs. I currently work full-time as an educator, but I have a flexible schedule outside of work that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care. I’m available anytime on Sundays and Mondays, and on Tuesdays and Thursdays I’m available in the afternoons after 5 PM. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and make sure they get the attention, care, and companionship they need. I have experience caring for many dogs and cats and understand that every pet has different needs and routines. I always take the time to learn what works best for each pet, whether that means following a specific feeding schedule, giving medication, providing extra attention, or simply making sure they feel comfortable and safe. My goal is always to provide reliable, loving care and make sure every pet gets the same quality of care I would want for my own.

About: With over 25 years of experience caring for animals from horses to birds, cats and dogs, you can feel at ease knowing that your fur baby is in good hands. I have cared for senior animals and puppies. I was the main caregiver for 6 dogs and 2 horses while growing up in Colorado. Each new animal friend I meet will be treated like family. Feel free to ask me any additional questions.

About: With over 30 years of experience, I provide personalized care that prioritizes your pet’s comfort and happiness. What sets me apart is my focus on behavioral consistency and specialized attention for different life stages. I have extensive experience in puppy training support, using positive reinforcement to maintain your training goals, as well as providing gentle senior care for older pets who prefer a slower pace and extra companionship. Whether it’s high-energy playtime or calming cuddles, I tailor every visit to match your pet's unique personality and energy levels. My background as a professional photographer makes me a uniquely patient and observant pet sitter, as I am already trained to anticipate subtle body language and capture a pet's truest personality. I bring that same artistic eye and calm focus to my pet care, ensuring your "best friend" stays engaged and comfortable in their familiar routine. Because my 2026 photography schedule is flexible, I am now fully open for pet sitting and can offer the reliable, high-quality care your pets deserve. As a special bonus, you won't just get a safe and happy pet—you will also receive beautiful, high-quality "souvenir" photos of their daily adventures while you are away. In 2026, creating a safe and trustworthy environment for your pet is my highest priority. Whether I am caring for them in my home or yours, I begin every engagement with a thorough meet-and-greet to align on routines and tour the property for potential safety hazards. In your home, I strictly follow all security protocols, including locking gates, managing alarm codes, and ensuring hazardous items like cleaning supplies or loose cables are inaccessible. To build lasting trust, I maintain transparent communication by providing real-time updates and professional-quality photo check-ins throughout the day. My approach is designed to preserve your pet's familiar routine, reducing their stress while ensuring your home remains secure and respected in your absence.

“Analisa was amazing! Super responsive to a last minute holiday request. She took great care of my 8 month old puppy with anxiety. Thank you!!”

About: Had a dog for over 10 years… have helped family members and friends over the years with pet sitting /dog walking. Just graduated from college and looking for a little extra income doing things I love like hanging out with animals! I work fully remote from home on central time so I have plenty of time to take care of your pets in the early morning and late afternoon! I have access to a car or bike and love to go on long walks everyday. I give my full attention to the pets and make sure they are well fed and given lots of cuddle and love no matter what!

About: Specialized care for dogs with medical needs or mobility challenges — and just as much love for the easygoing ones. I've had animals in my life since I can remember, and connecting with them has always come naturally to me — dogs who won't let strangers near them tend to warm up to me fast, much to the surprise of their owners. That instinct is backed by real, hands-on experience — with cats as well as dogs, including medical care and behavior work (more on that below). My own dog is a blind tripawd — I've been through amputation recovery firsthand, along with multiple other surgery recoveries, daily medication schedules, and eye drop routines. When he started losing his vision, I trained him to navigate the world confidently and learned how to walk him safely even as a blind dog on three legs. That means I'm comfortable with: • Post-surgery and mobility recovery (amputee/tripawd care, braces, restricted activity) • Daily medications (pills and liquid), eye drops, and other at-home medical routines — including administering meds for other people's dogs, not just my own • Vision-impaired dogs and adaptive walking/navigation cues • Cats with medical or behavioral needs (see Cat Care section below) I also have experience with leash reactivity and dog-to-dog reactivity, and anxious or fearful dogs — I've worked closely with a veterinary behaviorist and excellent trainers over the years, putting in the real, patient work to rehabilitate a traumatized rescue. I'm comfortable taking on reactive dogs, though it's not my primary focus. And of course — dogs with zero "issues" are always welcome too. Sometimes the best job is just a happy walk and a belly rub. Beyond dogs, I bring over a decade of childcare experience, which turns out to translate surprisingly well: patience, reading body language and mood, sticking to routines, and staying calm when things don't go as planned. Why Choose Me? If your dog needs extra patience, a steady hand, or someone who won't flinch at a brace, a medication regimen, or a wobbly gait — I've done it before, and I'll treat your dog like my own. I have a lot of flexibility in my availability. On any day marked available on my calendar, I Ican guarantee I won't be away from your pet for more than 3 hours at a stretch. I offer a free meet-and-greet before any booking — especially useful for anxious, fearful, or reactive dogs, so we can see how your dog responds to me on their own terms before anything is official. Because I'm coming into your space rather than the other way around, I focus on keeping things as close to your pet's normal routine as possible — following your existing schedule, feeding times, and habits rather than imposing my own. Outings happen wherever you and your dog are comfortable, whether that's your usual walking route, a dog park, or the beach — I adapt to what's familiar to your dog rather than introducing new environments during what can already be a stressful transition. For dogs that benefit from extra socialization, I'm happy to set up one-on-one playdates or supervised park/beach time. For reactive dogs specifically, I can coordinate distanced parallel walks alongside another trusted sitter, giving your dog controlled exposure at a safe distance rather than avoiding other dogs altogether.

“Highly rated, spent quality time during drop-in visits and great comminicator”

“Shaneli was AMAZING! We reached out with a last minute request due to our other sitter cancelling, and she was super responsive. Our Bunny is a little nervous, but she immediately took to Shaneli. I couldn’t believe it!! Highly recommend, can’t wait to have her again.”

About: What sets me apart is how much care and attention I give to each pet as an individual. I take the time to learn their age, personality, and daily routine so they feel comfortable and at ease. I have experience with puppies and enjoy helping reinforce basic training like house routines, leash manners, and positive reinforcement. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and truly love making sure pets feel safe, happy, and cared for. I also make it a priority to keep owners updated with photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. 🐾 I usually wake up around 5am to take the dogs out for their morning walks and that lasts about 30-60 minutes. Since I work from home most days, I sometimes take them for an afternoon walk if they are feeling very energetic. We have a little play ground we let them go to bring out their zoomies before coming back in. Around 4-5pm, we always go to the park close to our neighborhood to let our furry friends play with each other and socialize! In the days it rainy, we usually take a longer walk around the neighborhood. I care for pets by prioritizing their safety, routine, and overall well-being, whether they are in my home or a client’s home. I follow all owner instructions closely, including feeding schedules, portion sizes, medication administration, exercise needs, and any behavioral or medical considerations. I ensure pets have a clean, comfortable environment, fresh water at all times, and appropriate physical and mental stimulation.

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and absolutely love them! I’m experienced with all sizes and ages and can care for medical conditions if needed. I’m usually available during the week in early mornings or evenings. I’m also available any time on Fridays or weekends. Happy to work around your schedule as much as possible. When coming into your home, I will be clean and respectful. I am happy to drive your dog to the park/dog beach in my own vehicle.
