“Laura is the best dog caretaker!! She is very easy to communicate with and always responds promptly. My dog loves her and always comes back from walks tired and happy. My dog can be a bit challenging to walk at times but I never have to worry when he is with Laura. Would highly recommend!”
“DJ has provided top-notch help in a time when we need some extra hands to take care of our fur baby the way he deserves. She has been kind, conscientious, flexible, and responsive. We highly recommend DJ!”
“I realized at the last minute that I would be out all day and connected with Supriya to take our dogs out for a midday walk. Supriya was super responsive, kept me updated with photos, and took the dogs out for a nice, long walk at the time we agreed to. I'll definitely have her back when the need arises and would wholeheartedly recommend her.”
“Arianna took such good care of our fur babies while we were away for the day. While taking them on their walks, she posted nice pictures of them enjoying the sun outside and they loved the extra attentions she gave them. She was so responsive and very easy to communicate with. She even brought in some of our Amazon packages that were on our doorstep, which we greatly appreciated! We highly recommend Arianna and look forward to booking her again!”
“Esteban is the best! I was very afraid I would not find anyone to walk Piper as she is strong and slightly dog selective. Also certain dog folks do not want to walk her with a muzzle which is confusing to me, he has no issues with it. Esteban came for a meet and greet and it was a great fit! Piper has come home happy and exhausted! Can’t wait to grow our relationship with him! He’s the best!”
About: I absolutely love all animals! Growing up, my family always had a minimum of two dogs at a time. Since I was young, I have been trusted by friends and family members to watch over not only their pets, but their plants as well. As an adult living alone, I have only ever had 1 cat at a time in my home, however, my plant game has grown to a bit of a jungle! On top of taking care of animals, I also LOVE a clean house and I take it upon myself to always leave people’s homes cleaner than I found them in! I’m currently looking to open my own business doing just that: Pet sitting and deep cleaning while folks are out of town. In my opinion, there is nothing better than coming home from a vacation or a work trip to a clean home and a happy animal! I have been working with Meowtel watching cats for the last year and have found it to be exceptionally rewarding. Recently, my sweet cat passed away and I left my demanding job. Due to these circumstances I have decided that since I have the time and opportunity, opening my home to board would be a great way to expand my offerings. I look forward to meeting this community and giving dog (cat, plant, etc.) owners peace of mind while they travel, get stuck working a double, or just want to support their companion with an extra afternoon walk. I left my extremely demanding job in December after my cat got sick. I wanted to spend as much time with him as possible. Since his passing, I have focused on taking care of pets and cleaning homes. This has brought me more joy than any demanding corporate job, and I hope I can continue to work in this capacity for many years in the future. My schedule is very flexible! I am an animal lover living in an animal free home at this moment. Because of this, I am open to boarding. I am not concerned with animals who want to sit on the couch with me or lay on the bed, but I will follow the rules of what they’re allowed to do at home if you prefer that. My home will be their home, and I will do everything to make sure that they feel safe and cared for while in my hands. I’m an active person and love taking long walks and hikes. So, if that’s something that your dog is into, I am happy to schedule an adventure that meets their mileage needs! On the contrary, if you have a small dog or one who just wants to go out for a stroll around the block or to do their business in the grass, I’m happy to do that too! I have a small unfenced side yard to accommodate. I live on the second floor of an apartment building with no elevator, so if your pup is not able to do stairs and is too heavy to pick up, my home wouldn’t be a good fit.
“Tim provided wonderful care for my puppy during a difficult time. They understood her needs, communicated clearly, were really respectful of my home. I noticed that they remembered specific concerns I had made sure to keep those im mind. I also appreciated the thoughtful pictures they sent and their intentionality in the details they provided about how the care went and how much puppy was doing. Thank you, Tim!”
“Michaela is awesome! Moose gets so excited for her walks with Michaela that she sits by the door waiting patiently around the time of their walks. Then she always has a big smile on her face and her tail wagging with joy when they return.”
“And all around beautiful girl. Very well-versed in every possible situation that could arise, from a super hot day, to passing by a reactive dog Tucker anticipated his walk with her every time with a bark and wiggly butt!”
“Jen is super communicative whether it’s regarding coordinating logistics or sharing updates about our dog, Bento. It really just helps put our minds at ease especially when we’re traveling. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve had 2 dogs from puppy through adulthood over the last 20 years and have given tens of thousands of walks. Charlie was a stubborn and happy Basset Hound, and Teddy was a big, lovable, and strong Great Pyrenees who unfortunately passed early last year. I recently moved to Berkeley, and would truly love to have fun putting my dog walking skills to use with your pup. Able to offer same-day evening requests as well as any other time of day with 1+ day notice. Also able to give long 1+ hour evening walks at $25/hr! I don’t have space at my home which is my motivation for helping and spending time with local dogs on Rover! As a long time owner of two large and strong dogs from energetic puppy through adulthood, you can trust your fur-child will be in good hands!
“Julie was very quick to respond and very communicative through the whole process, which made me feel so much more comfortable since it was my first time having a stranger come into my home and walk my dog! It was a risk that paid off thanks to her! She was great.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs both personally and for friends/family, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with them. I’m attentive to routines, feeding schedules, walks, bathroom breaks, play, and making sure dogs feel calm, safe, and loved while their owners are away. I use to work in tech until I got laid off last year and I'm currently looking for my next position. I am therfore home almost all the time to look after your pup. I have a fenced yard and I am almost always in the same room as the dogs and so I'll have my eyes on them at all times.
Rockridge dog parents share their Rover experiences
We’re repeat clients of John’s and continue to work with him because he’s fantastic with our dog and an all-around great human. He cares for our pet as if he was his own, and that has led to developing a level of trust that’s hard to come by. As always, we highly recommend John if you’re considering contacting him.
It was wonderful to be able to count on Natalie to help us with three walks over the holiday weekend! Our dog, Grover, is anxious around new people and dog reactive. Natalie was happy to take things very slowly with him until he was comfortable and gave me lots of updates. She definitely went the extra mile (sometimes literally) to make sure he got out on a nice walk and was well taken care of. It was a huge relief to find someone we could trust, which allowed me to relax while away. We will definitely be reaching out to Natalie soon to book more walks!
I needed a dog walker for my young working line German shepherd. My husband was staying home with the dogs while I visited my family, but he can’t walk far enough or fast enough to keep my baby entertained and exercised. I was delighted that Shuhan wasn’t deterred by barking when he arrived for a meet-and-greet, so we booked him. He arrived on time every day, didn’t mind dealing with foxtail nets, and returned her ready for a nap. We will definitely call him next time!
I realized at the last minute that I would be out all day and connected with Supriya to take our dogs out for a midday walk. Supriya was super responsive, kept me updated with photos, and took the dogs out for a nice, long walk at the time we agreed to. I'll definitely have her back when the need arises and would wholeheartedly recommend her.
Enzo is a gem! I appreciated their flexibility to arrange a meet and greet since my dog is selective about the dogs she likes. One thing that struck me on Enzo's profile was that they understand the importance of mental enrichment and positive reinforcement for dogs; Enzo's pup Arlo seems super smart and engaged and I'm excited for Naya to be cared for by someone so invested in dog behavior and science. Naya's first walk with Enzo and Arlo reassured me that Enzo would be an excellent, attentive caregiver for Naya. I look forward to working with Enzo more!
Linda went above and beyond when watching our dog Marlowe. I really appreciated the detailed reports she gave us on the time she spent with him. She clearly loves and understands dogs, and provided very valuable insights into to his behavior, as well as recommendations on how we can work with him to teach him new skills. Communication with Linda was great. She has a lovely personality. I feel lucky that we found her!
Cynthia was incredible. I was visiting from out of town and she made every effort to be accommodating and welcome. She has such a nice manner with dogs and my dog bonded with her instantly.She is flexible with pick-up and drop off locations and times. She did a mix of walking and having my dog in her house to play with her dog. Her daughter is also around to play with the dogs. Highly recommend Cynthia!
Andrew is a phenomenal walker! He’s responsible, a great communicator, and he is very thoughtful about my pup’s care. Having volunteered in some similar settings to Andrew, I would trust him to handle all sorts of dog temperaments and scenarios - there really is no training like city shelter experience. I am very happy working with Andrew and would recommend him heartily to anyone!
