About: I have been a dog mom my whole life, from small terriers to Great Danes, and have experience with dogs across the lifespan, as well as dogs of many different temperaments. I am also a lifelong cat owner and can provide excellent and personalized care for all of your furry friends. I have experience with medication dispensing, leash reactivity, and providing personalized enrichment and care, depending on the pet’s needs and personalities. Got a couch potato? Great, I'm an A+ cuddler! Got an adventurer? We'll go on field trips to local parks and walking trails! Whatever your pet needs, I am thrilled to provide. I am currently an MSW graduate student, so Rover is my primary source of income, and hanging out with your furry friends provides some bonus stress relief for me as well - a win-win! I am a full time MSW graduate student and Rover is my primary source of income, so my summer schedule is wide open, and my schedule while school is in session will be based around my class schedule. My own precious pup is not comfortable around other dogs, so I offer housesitting services in client's homes. I will honor whatever your pet's routine and preferences are, and am happy to schedule a meet up prior to our housesitting appointment to ensure that you and your fur baby feel comfy with me.

“Andrea has been walking my dog Jack for a a couple of weeks now and he has been so happy with her! He is skiddish and shy, but has taken very well to Andrea, which I think speaks well of her! They walk during lunch and he is so much more calmer in the afternoons and when I get home. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Beth was professional and gave momoe the attention we wanted while we were out and about. She paid special attention to our notes and we would recommend her again!”

About: I have taken care of dogs/animals since I was a child. I currently attend the University of Louisville with a major in Political Science. I’m excited to work with you! I work at night, Im free during the day time ALWAYS. I want to make sure your schedule is always in line with mine, communication is my key priority. I am very active and love dog sitting and long walks 🐩. I have a huge passion for fitness and dog exercise. 💪☀️ ;) I’m willing to work with you and any accommodations you may have! I always keep a air tag on my Lily (my dog) to make sure she's safe!
About: I’ve always had dogs in my life ever since I was a little kid—they’ve been my constant companions through everything. There’s just something magical about them: the way they greet you like you’ve been gone for years (even if it’s just five minutes), their unconditional love, and how they turn a simple walk into the highlight of the day. I absolutely love walking dogs, feeling that tug on the leash as they excitedly explore every scent, or just spending quiet time with them curled up nearby. They make the world feel less lonely; I never truly feel alone when dogs are around. Lately, I’ve been bringing my sister’s dog up from Fresno to stay with me for weeks at a time, and it’s been pure bliss—extra playtime, more cuddles, and that doubled-up dog joy. I’m at my happiest when I’m surrounded by them, whether it’s throwing a ball in the park, brushing their fur, or just watching them dream with those little leg twitches. Dogs have this incredible gift for bringing out the best in us and filling our days with genuine happiness. If you’ve got that same kind of love for them, you know exactly what I mean! 🐶❤️ Lately, I’ve been off work for a while, and I’m looking to fill my days with some real excitement. I’ve been bringing my sister’s dog up from Fresno to stay with me for weeks at a time, and it’s been pure bliss—extra playtime, more cuddles, and that doubled-up dog joy. But to amp things up even more, I’m thinking about diving deeper into dog-related adventures: volunteering at a local animal shelter (walking and playing with pups who need it most), trying out dog agility classes or hiking trails with furry friends, joining a dog meetup group for pack walks and play dates. I make my dog healthy foods to eat, I always wash her up after walks and play with her with her toys, we love to just chill on the couch and watch tv.
“Rachel is wonderful with my little nervous boy, Dublin! So kind and patient. Dublin loves to walk and explore the neighborhood and Rachel indulges him completely. Rachel loves dogs and it shows!”

“Jacob is literal perfection! He cared for my multiple dogs and gave me peace of mind even though I am new to using Rover. He is meticulous, kind and goes above and beyond. He truly loves animals and I could not even imagine a better experience. He will be our Sitter for as long as he will have us. Thank you for loving my babies while I am not home. You made me a loyal fan and my sometimes reactive dogs adore you too! Perfection!”

“Natalie was awesome and quick to respond, and super friendly! We felt really comfortable leaving our puppy in her hands. Will be booking her again in the future!”

About: Animals have been part of my life from the very beginning. My family raised and cared for pets of all kinds, including Maine Coon show cats, a golden retriever, and a yorkie. I grew up surrounded by them, learning early how to read behavior, provide steady care, and build trust with different personalities and species. The only time I ever lived without an animal in my home was during my first two years of service in the Air Force. Since then, I have continued to share my life with dogs, cats, and the occasional more unusual companion such as a bird, a ferret, and a snake. Every one of them has been loved and treated as family. These days I share my home with Daxter (my orange tabby) and Catarina and Beretina (two crazy torbie sisters) who keep life entertaining in all the best ways. I am a veteran currently in school and I work part time as a martial arts instructor. Outside of that, I enjoy drawing, playing guitar, and video games. Among my friends I have become the go to pet auntie because I care for their animals as if they were my own. My goal is to bring that same level of attentiveness and genuine care to every pet I look after. Whether they are shy, energetic, quirky, or easygoing, I meet each animal with patience, respect, and a calm presence so they feel safe while you are away. I currently work part time as a martial arts instructor during the day, but my schedule is extremely flexible to accommodate both you and your pets’ needs I care for every pet with a focus on respect, clear communication, and their individual comfort levels. Whether a cat or dog is shy, social, or a little spicy, I follow their cues and let them set the pace. With many years of experience, including caring for my own three cats (Daxter, Catarina, and Beretina), I’m very attentive to both physical and emotional needs and quick to notice changes in behavior or stress. Your peace of mind matters just as much as your pet’s. If you’re away, I provide consistent updates and photos as often as you’d like so you always know how they’re doing. I welcome specific instructions or preferences because every pet has their own routine and every owner has their own comfort level. My goal is simple: your pet feels safe and content, and you feel confident that they’re in good hands.
About: I know how difficult it is to leave your furry companions for any period of time, so I will do everything in my power to keep both owner and pet happy and feeling comfortable! I've been pet sitting ever since I can remember, and have experience with several other animals besides dogs, i.e. cats, rabbits, horses, etc. I am extremely flexible and will be able to adjust to whatever you need, whenever you need. For all services, I always keep in mind what's best for your pet, and am always willing to go the extra mile. I've been known to drive an extra half hour to make sure a dog isn't alone and afraid in a thunderstorm! I also recognize that animals appreciate structure and a schedule, so you can rest assured they will have all their needs met on time, as they are used to.
About: I genuinely love animals, and that comes through in my work. Going above and beyond what is expected is my normal because in addition to being responsible, I also just love pets and animals and being around them. I have worked at the UC Davis Vet hospital, volunteered at the LA Zoo, and currently foster cats with Front St Animal Shelter. I’m currently a full time student in my last year of my Genetics and Genomics BS. I have always at least worked part time during my entire college career, and I really enjoy getting to work with animals to decompress from school. I am very attentive to directions, and I’m great at communicating with pet parents on their needs. While I don’t board at my own home, I always make sure to treat your home with the respect as I would my own.
About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life and feel very comfortable around them and very in-tune to their needs. I also worked for Midtown Mutts for a year prior to Covid and going back to school (many of the dogs I walked then are shown in my gallery). Not only do I view pets as family members and a whole lot of fun, I also view them as lifelong friends and would take special care that they are always safe, comfortable, happy, and loved! I am familiar with many different breeds and know what different needs this entitles for each. I am available for specific needs as requested by the owner, such as extra walks or special diets and will respect these. I love to take dogs on runs, to the dog park, or on long hikes if the owner permits. I hope you will consider me for your next dogsitting need! I am currently working from home and self-employed, so I am very flexible with my hours, available nights or weekends if needed, and can work around tricky schedules. I have a daily routine with my own dog and cat, so am very aware of pet routines and their importance. I care for pets by following their established routines as closely as possible and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for in their own environment. I pay close attention to each pet’s individual needs, personality, and energy level, whether that means active play and walks or a quieter, more relaxed approach. In a client’s home, I focus on maintaining consistency—feeding on schedule, refreshing water, administering care as instructed, cleaning litter boxes or pet areas, and providing companionship and enrichment. I respect the home and any specific instructions provided, and I make sure pets get attention, reassurance, and positive interaction while their owners are away. I am attentive to pet behavior and wellbeing, communicate clearly with owners, and will provide updates as requested so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands. My goal is for pets to feel secure and cared for, and for owners to feel peace of mind.
“Carolyn is just the absolute best thing that has happened to us! I can’t say enough about her. She is perfection wrapped up into a beautiful human. Thank you for everything you do for my baby girl 🥰”

Richmond Grove dog parents share their Rover experiences
Emily is great - reliable, communicative and a very calming presence for my pups. They are always excited to see her and are happy and tired after their walks. Emily also keeps an eye on my older girl and brings her back early if she's getting too tuckered out. They even seem to behave themselves with her so she has been a very good influence.

Deanna was open to hearing about my dog's behavioral challenges and receptive to implementing strategies that have worked for him in the past. She was generally easy to communicate with and she sent an extensive update after the walk. I would not hesitate to hire Deanna again to walk my dog!
Lila was wonderful. At the meet and greet, it was evident my dog Gracie really loved her. Lila followed the plan that I left for her taking Gracie for her favorite walks in the neighborhood. Lila sent me pictures of Gracie everyday that I was gone as well as the Rover report card which was really reassuring. I was able to enjoy my time away knowing that Gracie was in such good hands. I would definitely book her for Gracie again if I needed to be away in the future.
Paula is wonderful with my dogs. She has that calm, grounded energy that my reactive pitbull loves and trusts. She checks in regularly with photos, and my dogs are always happy and relaxed when they come back from walks with her. I highly recommend her, she’s reliable, punctual, calm, and truly a dog person.
