About: For over 13 years, I’ve been taking care of dogs! I have 3 dogs at home myself, a Havanese poodle and two German shepherds! My dogs are on the older side and aren’t able to go on walks as much so I wanted to join Rover. When I’m away from home and miss my dogs, also volunteer at the animal shelter to do doggie day out and bring shelter dogs for walks and a pup cup. I pay careful attention to body language for dogs to make them feel comfortable. I just graduated from UCI so I’ve been readjusting back at home. When I get the chance, I love going out and trying the next big thing! When I’m home, I love playing with my dogs and snuggling up with them because they’re so cute I know safety and trust is the utmost importance so I will be sure to communicate with you if issues were to arise. I make sure that the area is familiar, safe and enclosed before letting a dog off-leash and walks are always on-leash. I have trained multiple dogs to learn basic commands and signals with treats and positive reinforcements.
“I’m so lucky to have booked with Amir. At the last minute, I found myself needing support walking my dog, Luna, for a week. We started with a “meet and greet” to get a feel for how things would go. Amir was great with Luna and she responded well to his kind and playful approach. As the week continued, Luna would stand at the top of the stairwell waiting in excitement for her walk. They developed a rapport and I’m sure Luna loved the long walks to the park. I really appreciate Amir’s consistency, communication, and dependability. He was great to work with. Highly recommend.”

About: I have over 20 years of experience caring for cats and treat every guest like my own. My home is calm, safe, and filled with love. There’s no holiday rate😊 【It is all about companionship🪀🐈🐈⬛ & Safty🔛】 As a full-time "work-at-home" artist🎨 & Cats-aholic😍🐱 & a childfree woman🧑🏼🎨, it also makes me well-suited to be a full-time cat🐱 sitter. So here I am🙋♀️! Welcome to a quiet, artist-owned private home designed as a peaceful retreat for cats. With a spacious garden and three cozy rooms, this is a serene haven where feline guests can truly unwind. Most cats love sitting by the windows or large glass patio doors, watching the birds and squirrels that visit the fruit trees outside. Sometimes, friendly neighborhood cats even stop by to say hello.

About: I’m a dog mom to a Goldendoodle I’ve raised since he was 8 weeks old, so I have hands-on experience with puppy routines, feeding, walks, crate training, enrichment, and basic obedience. Caring for my own dog has taught me how important consistency, patience, and close attention are. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions and routines, and I’ll treat your pet with the same care and attention I give my own. I’m also happy to provide plenty of photos and updates during each visit so you can feel comfortable while you’re away. I’m currently in graduate school and have a structured weekly schedule, which allows me to plan pet care reliably. I also have a dog of my own, so I’m very used to structuring my day around walks, feeding, playtime, and maintaining a consistent routine. I’m typically available Tuesday afternoons and evenings, with additional evening and weekend availability depending on the week. I keep my Rover calendar updated to reflect my current availability. For drop-in visits, I’ll carefully follow your pet’s usual routine and any instructions you provide, including feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, and other care needs. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet and feel confident that your routines and preferences will be respected. I’m very open to discussing expectations beforehand and adjusting my care to each pet and pet parent’s preferences so everyone feels comfortable. I’m also mindful about securely closing doors and gates, using leashes properly, and keeping pets supervised. I’ll send photos and updates during each visit so you always know how your pet is doing.
“We recently started using Ellie as our new dog walker, and she has already been absolutely fantastic. She made the transition completely seamless and stress-free, proving herself to be incredibly reliable from day one. Our dog took to her instantly, and we love the great communication and updates she provides during her visits. We are so happy we found Ellie and highly recommend her to anyone looking for top-notch care!”

About: My family has had our dog Scooby since he was 3 weeks old and he is now 6 years old. I’ve trained him since he was young how to behave and he knows plenty of tricks too! I also used to dog sit/babysit for family members often. I currently have an internship and am busy Tuesdays-Thursdays but I’m available on Mondays, Fridays, and weekends when needed. My schedule can be flexible so let me know and I might be able to accommodate! I prefer to travel to clients within the East Bay Area. Safety is always my top priority in mind, for both your pet and myself. I understand that some dogs need time to adjust to new people and I always want to create a comfortable environment for them.
About: I had my first dog at nine, but cared for friends and families’ pets before that to prepare myself. I’ve always been good with animals and would be honored to care for yours in your absence. I’m also decent at getting them to take any medication that they might need. I am in between jobs at the moment and have my own transportation so caring for your babies would be at the top of my priorities I will tailor care for your pets based on your needs and preferences. Let me know your pet’s routine so that I don’t disrupt it too much. I will, of course, use crates if needed, and doors and locks will always be checked.

About: I am a ER/ICU vet assistant who worked at an emergency vet hospital. I have been working in veterinary medicine for almost 10 years. My main priority is keeping pets safe but also keeping them happy and monitoring their wellbeing. I will be watching their behavior and keeping up with them to make sure they have the best care from me since they are apart of your family. From my animal care background, I will know if there is any distress or additional attention needed. I am familiar with medications, giving medications, and other animal health care needs. If there is an emergency, I am able to handle the situation as necessary. I hold it to the highest standard knowing I am left with that responsibility. I’m currently in school for a few hours a week so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups and give lots of love to your kittens! I’m available most weekdays all day except for Mondays and Wednesdays from 12pm-3pm. I have one small senior dog who is not aggressive to other pets. If needed, I can still keep your pup separate from mine. I also have a 5 year old daughter who takes after her mom and LOVES pets but I am always able to set boundaries if needed.

About: I’ve been an animal lover since day one! 🐾 I started volunteering at animal shelters at 12 and have cared for cats and dogs ever since. I currently have 3 cats of my own, so I know firsthand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your fur babies. ❤️ I’m currently available: Monday–Friday: 2:00 PM - 8:45 PM Weekends & Holidays: Available anytime I’m happy to work around your pet’s schedule and needs! 🐾 I follow your pet’s routine and all the instructions you leave, making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I’ll keep you updated throughout each visit, and you can expect a daily summary with pictures so you always know how your fur baby is doing.
About: I've been pet sitting since HS and grew to learn a lot about proper care and training. I pride myself on being very detail oriented and maintaining excellent communication. I am extremely clean and respectful while in others homes, being quiet to ensure the neighbors are not disturbed also. I love giving tons of attention and cuddles to all the babies :) I also go above and beyond to talk to them, explaining everything and helping them feel safe (it seems extra, but it really does help them). I have personally owned and lived with dogs, cats, chinchillas, chickens, birds, reptiles, and fish. *please note the rover rates are estimated with auto calculation, they include a brief meet & greet, and totals will be confirmed after meet & greet based on the level of care and dedicated time needed for the pets during the stay. Discounts apply for proximity to my home, as well. I currently work remotely part time so I am able to schedule check ins throughout the late morning to evening, between meetings and appointments. With all pet care services I offer, I schedule a window of time for the visit to allow myself flexibility within the flow of my day. I prefer to arrive in my best energy to care for animals so I schedule a lot of buffer to eliminate any hectic timelines. I usually prefer to do a meet & greet in advance to get all care instructions (I take my own notes), but I can also manage well if there is an instruction sheet with details. I just try to stick to everything as closely as possible so the only change for the animals is that their human is not home. I am also very observant of body language and can spot when the animals is feeling stressed to be able to adjust the environment and help them feel safe again.

About: I've been caring for pets for over five years and have hands-on experience with animals of different sizes and personalities. I have a dog and a rabbit of my own, so I understand the importance of providing consistent care, exercise, patience, and lots of love. In addition to caring for my own pets, I've looked after dogs ranging from small breeds to large breeds, making sure each one gets the attention, activity, and care they need. Whether it's going on walks, playtime, feeding, or simply providing companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to make them feel safe, happy, and comfortable. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I work from home for half of the week, which gives me the flexibility to provide pets with plenty of attention, regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I also live near several parks, making it easy to enjoy fun and active walks, and I have a spacious, secure backyard where dogs can safely play and stretch their legs. Whether your pet needs exercise, enrichment, or simply a caring companion while you're away, I have the time and space to help them feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or taking them on walks, I'm well prepared for every outing with essentials like poop bags, a secure leash, toys, treats, water, and allergy medication if needed. I also have knowledge of pet first aid, so I'm ready to respond calmly and appropriately if an unexpected situation arises. At home, pets have access to a spacious, fully fenced backyard where they can safely play and explore under my supervision. I tailor my care to each pet's individual needs, making sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, affection, and a safe, enjoyable experience every time.
About: I have 7 years of pet-sitting experience, starting with dogs and expanding into specialized cat care. Five years ago, I began volunteering at a cat rescue and discovered a gift for connecting with scared, shy, and feral cats. I hold a Certificate of Completion from Fear Free Shelters, with training in reducing stress and anxiety in cats and dogs. I’m also experienced giving oral medications to cats and dogs and subcutaneous fluids to cats. As a proud owner of two rescue cats, HalfPint and Nesta, I understand how hard it can be to leave your pets behind. I treat every pet as my own, providing loving care, playtime, companionship, and attention to their individual needs. My goal is to give your pets the best care possible while giving you peace of mind, so you can enjoy your vacation knowing your furry family members are safe, happy, and well cared for. I am available to feed ferals cats at a discounted rate, so your ferals can eat while you're away. I look forward to being your Whisker Watcher. I do have a full-time job, but I am able to do drop ins before and after work. On Thursday's and Friday's, I am also able to do drop ins on my lunch hour, as I work from home. I treat everyone’s pet the way I want my pets to be treated, with patience, kindness, love, & playtime. I follow directions well and appreciate as much information as I can get about your pet.
“This was my first time having Gagandeep walk my dog, but I will surely use him again! He was on time, prompt, pleasant to talk to and got on fine with my dog! Highly recommend him! Might also add that my dog is not small. He is a big, energetic dog! And he came home happy and tired -- which is what I hoped for!”

About: I have worked in a dog boarding facility, always taking care to clients both humans and pets including love and care of all. Feeding, bathing, love and tender care are just some of the things I have done here as well as care for elderly, pups, and disabled dogs. I am pretty open and available throughout the week and weekends. I do have my own cat so I need to make sure I tend to them some time in the day. Safety, care, and love as well always on alert for danger or potential threats. I am always putting my all in and love building rapport and relations with my clients for best outcome and safety.
About: I have a kind heart to animals, I will treat them like my own. I worked in a veterinary hospital and their safety will always be a priority when they’re with me.

Also, I love taking pictures, you’ll be getting fun, creative pictures during the time you book me. ♥️ I am a clean well organized person and taking care of an animal is just like having a child. My home is safe from anything they can get into, so you wouldn’t have to worry. 🥰
“Alex is solid. He had his hands full for 5 days with our two fur babies, a chow and a pit, and he delivered. No easy task considering how hard our pit pulls on walks. Great communication and no worries. I strongly recommend Alex and would definitely hire again. Thanks Alex!”

About: Growing up I had many animals including dogs, cats, fish, hamsters, leopard geckos, snakes, and more. From a young age I had the responsibility of these animals wants and needs. Over the years I have gained skills, tactics, and knowledge for certain things and am confident in my abilities to handle any animal ranging in age, size and needs. I work part time working with dogs so I have plenty of time to be with yours!! I am available mainly any time just COMMUNICATE! I will make things work! I do attend college however I am free to board with the exception of having to attend class/work. I am able to check in with dogs between classes. Although I don’t board dogs at my home quite yet, my fur baby is house trained along with crate trained. I have a big yard he goes and plays in and throughout the week he boards at my work for daycare. I love exercising weather that’s going for a walk or going on a hike (willing to find dog friendly trails) and more.

Amir has been wonderful with my little pit mix, Stormy. He was very thoughtful in learning about her quirks and the reactivity issues that she can have on leash. He wanted to make sure he understood how to work with her, and he took the time to really listen. She warmed up to him immediately. When he returned for only her second walk, she pulled me out the door to greet him. I have appreciated his care for her so much! He's definitely a great person to spend quality time with your buddies, and his communication with me has been excellent as well. I highly recommend!

Zoey is absolutely amazing! She comes to my home twice a week to walk my dog, Benicio, and I couldn’t be happier with her. She is always on time, dependable, attentive, and incredibly friendly. It’s clear that she genuinely cares about Benicio and treats him with so much love and patience. Most importantly, Benicio absolutely loves her! He gets so excited to see her, which gives me so much peace of mind knowing he’s in great hands when I’m not home. Zoey is trustworthy, professional, and goes above and beyond to make sure Benicio gets a great walk and plenty of attention. I highly recommend Zoey to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and wonderful dog walker. We’re so lucky to have found her! 🐾❤️

Naomi was great with our dog, Lulu! I needed someone to walk Lulu while my husband was out of town, since I’m not great on my feet. She came twice a day as scheduled and is very pleasant! Lulu can be a little temperamental with new people, and she only refused to go a couple of times toward the end, which had everything to do with her missing my husband (her person, lol) and not Naomi. I will book with her again next year, if she’s available!
This was my first time having Gagandeep walk my dog, but I will surely use him again! He was on time, prompt, pleasant to talk to and got on fine with my dog! Highly recommend him! Might also add that my dog is not small. He is a big, energetic dog! And he came home happy and tired -- which is what I hoped for!

Charlie did an amazing job taking care of Nova! He was so encouraging and patient with her, helping her feel comfortable enough to go to the bathroom during their walk. He took her on a lovely, calm walk where she was able to relax, explore, and get some good exercise. By the time they got back, Nova was completely tired out in the best way—happy, settled, and ready to go right to sleep. You can tell Charlie really cares about the pets he looks after and makes sure they feel safe and well cared for. I would definitely trust him again!

As a recurring client, I can confidently say that April continues to provide the most exceptional care for our pup. Her consistency and genuine love for animals make her stand out from any other walker we’ve ever used. April is truly awesome, and we are so grateful to have her as our regular walker!
