About: Hi, I’m Bernadette! If your pet needs a hangout sesh, I’m available for walks and drop-in visits! Aside from being a part time dog walker and lifetime pet owner, I am also a trusted pet sitter for a variety of animals for family, friends, colleagues, and Rover users. My love for animals has put me on a path of fostering and volunteering at animal shelters. I look forward to meeting and caring for your pet(s)! I am working remotely as a freelance graphic designer, which allows me to be flexible and available for dog walking and drop-in services on most days. If given an early notice, I am typically available every weekday from 7 a.m. - 7 p.m., but I am always willing to negotiate different times or extended stays if needed. I will respect your pet’s boundaries, behaviors, and environment to ensure they feel as safe and comfortable as possible. I will keep your pet company (so long as they allow me to) and give them all the love, enrichment, and attention as they need!

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, and I currently have two of my own. I’m very familiar with the puppy phase and senior phase! I’ve house sat for two dogs of my own and I like to make sure we get our walks in as well as some cuddle and affection! It’s a treat for myself and them! I’m currently working part time, but that doesn’t mean my schedule isn’t open! I’m here whenever you need me! I pretty much have open availability from Monday-Sunday, especially in the mornings and evenings! Having dogs and cats is something I’m familiar with and comfortable. There isn’t an experience I’ve had where it’s been difficult! I’m a lover of animals I’ve got a huge soft spot for them and I could just give them all the love in the world. I honestly treat them as if they are my very own animals. When it comes to care, you can never be too careful and I truly take that to heart! I’ll do whatever I can to ensure both client and pets are well satisfied!

About: Hi! I’m Tiffany, and I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life! I’m 37 years old and currently share my home with two sweet senior dogs and a curious kitten. Whether your pet needs a cuddle buddy, a patient walker, or just someone who truly gets animal quirks, I’m your person. I treat every pet like family and understand how important it is to know your furry friend is safe, loved, and cared for. Let’s chat, I’d love to meet your pup or kitty! I live and work downtown. I’m hybrid so office m-w. On office days I can do drop in’s before work at lunch and after work. On Thursday-Sunday I’m happy to hang out at your place if needed, as long as there is Wi-Fi :) I live in an apartment so my dogs go for lots of walks, to the dog park near us and have lots of toys. They get a ton of snuggles and attention at home. We just got a new kitten who fits right in and she has taken over the house with toys. I’ll give your fur babies the same amount of love and attention I give my own.

About: I have been around pets my whole life! I have watched family, neighbors and friends animals. From daily walks to belly rubs or just keeping your dog company. I am dedicated to giving you what your pet needs! Pet care fits naturally into my daily schedule because I work from home half of the week / have a flexible schedule. I will make sure to give your pet my full attention when I am with them! I always ensure that I do my best to follow your pets usual routines from feeding schedules to walking times and any special instructions provided.

“Danielle was great! Couldn't have asked for better. She shows she cared about my senior dog and accommodated our quirks. I highly recommend Danielle as a dog sitter and walker! Thank you!”


About: My Mother fostered a bunch of pets while I was growing up. Because of this I’ve had the chance to care of a range of animals, from German Shepherds and Golden Retrievers, to Parrots and Hamsters. I’m currently enrolled in college classes, while they might shift slightly I’m free most every Monday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday before 4:00pm. If there’s ever any issue with scheduling I’ll be as prompt as I can in either correcting it, or notifying you ahead of time. All in all, I should have more than enough time to spend with your fur babies! I think that pet care should be handled on an individual basis, every dog mom or dad knows their dog best. Overall it’s my goal to ensure I give them as much love and care as you do, exactly how you, or at least as exact as I can be since no one can replace you in their heart!

About: I've got experience with mainly cats and dogs. I've worked at a doggy daycare for 3 years in my past. I've also pet sat for friends when I was younger. I'm a full time student. I have my own car. I have a good amount of free time and can come to you. My summers are more open and flexible but during school,my schedules will change on availability. I let them come to me. I've loved animals since I was a kid but every animal is different. I'm patient and understanding. I'm very approachable and friendly. My goal is to make sure your fur babies feel safe with me and that doesn't always happen in one visit. I'll be doing my best at making sure your animals get plenty of cuddles and playtime as well as being fed properly and loved on well.

About: I'm reopening my pet care services this Summer 2025 :) Animals have been at the heart of my life for many years. I've had the joy of working as a dog trainer and pet store manager, and I currently serve our community through my role in Animal Services for the city. This background has given me hands-on experience with pets of all shapes, sizes, breeds, and personalities. Whether your pup needs a walk or to burn some energy off with playtime, I'm down for it all. I’m happy to respect and enforce your training goals. I’m also experienced with cats and can help with feeding, litter box cleaning, and even medication if needed. I'm experienced in both oral and injections. If you’re looking for someone dependable, compassionate, and comfortable with animals of all kinds, I’d love to hear how I can help you and your pets. Just let me know what you need! I am available all day on Sundays, Mondays, and Tuesdays for walks, visits, and house sitting. I am okay with early morning visits if needed. Consistency is important with pets, so I appreciate knowing what your daily routines are like in the home such as meal-time or potty breaks. As long as you let me know what you and your pet need, I'm happy to follow it.

About: I have pet sat the small dogs & cats of my friends, their families, and neighbors for a decade+. Pets fill my heart with joy and I love meeting them. I have administered oral medication to pets & am adept at making sure your fur babies are comfortable and loved while you’re away. I am self employed & have time during the week & evenings to walk your pet and make sure their needs are taken care of! Weekends available on a case by case basis. I have my own senior cat to care for, so overnights are not an option. I can come by your home to check on your pets, provide basic care, offer them love and affection, and walk dogs. I do not offer care inside my home.

About: For the past five years, I’ve raised my rescue—an energetic Great Pyrenees/Irish Wolfhound mix—from a rowdy puppy into a mild-mannered adult. That journey taught me patience, consistency, and just how much love (and fur) a big dog can bring into your life. I’ve handled everything from training and socializing to managing separation anxiety and grooming needs. Now that he’s settled, I have the time, energy, and heart to care for more animals—whether they’re playful pups, gentle seniors, or anything in between. I work remotely with a highly flexible schedule, so I’m available throughout the day and evening with some notice. Whether it’s daily drop-ins, long walks, or overnight stays, I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that keeps your pet happy and your routine smooth. When I care for pets in their own homes, I prioritize keeping their routines consistent and their environment stress-free. Whether I’m stopping by for a walk, staying overnight, or just keeping them company while you're away, I respect your space and follow your instructions closely—down to the last treat or tummy rub. I understand the trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else—and I take that seriously. You can expect regular updates, photos, and honest communication every step of the way.

About: Hi there! I'm a lifelong dog lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I've owned four dogs, both large and small breeds, and have a deep understanding of their unique needs. One of my dogs had a seizure disorder, so I’m very comfortable administering medications multiple times a day and responding calmly and confidently to medical emergencies like grand mal seizures. I also groom my own long-haired small dog and have experience with breeds that require regular grooming and extra TLC. I volunteered at the ASPCA, where I completed their dog socialization training. This taught me a lot about canine behavior, safety, and how to build trust with dogs of all backgrounds. I walked and socialized dogs at the center, and it was one of the most rewarding things I’ve ever done. Over the years, I’ve provided house and pet sitting for family and friends, always making sure to adapt to each pet’s routine and personality. I genuinely enjoy getting to know every dog I meet and aim to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved in my care. Outside of pet care, I work as an environmental scientist and am passionate about protecting wildlife and our natural world. I work a typical Monday–Friday, 8–5 schedule, but have some flexibility and often work from home. I’m happy to accommodate your dog’s specific needs and would love the chance to care for your furry family member! I work in environmental science and typically 8am -5pm Monday through Friday. I have a hybrid schedule that allows me flexibility to work from home or wherever and I have every other Friday off. I am typically free on weekends unless I have a scheduled vacation, which will be on my schedule. I care for pets in their own home to help maintain their routine and sense of comfort. I follow feeding, walking, and medication schedules closely, and always prioritize each dog’s unique needs and personality. With experience handling medical conditions and understanding dog behavior, I create a calm, safe, and loving environment while you’re away. I treat every dog like family and aim to make them feel secure and cared for in your absence.

About: I have 15 yrs experience working on farms with all kinds of animals including chickens, cows, pigs, goats, ostriches, and more! I love dogs, especially herding ones. I’m new to town, going back to school for GIS. I have a flexible schedule and love spending time with animals. I’m a morning person who loves a reason to get up early and seize the day so morning walks are my favorite. I also have 4yrs experience in property management. I make a great house-sitter as I am keenly aware of household operations, care, and how to handle emergencies.


About: I can't get away from being a dog lover! They have been my best companions and I was taught early-on that caring for them was loving them. I'm a fan of "rescue" pets. I’m a Red Rover volunteer and for the five years I lived in Salt Lake City I volunteered for Best Friends Animal Society. They are both grand organizations that offer care for all kinds of animals. My last Best Buddy, GriZZ found me while I was volunteering at a pet adoption event. Grizz was 12 when we met and it was love at first sight. He played like he was 7 and was a perfect companion. He was my Best Buddy until he passed at 17. I am available to care for your dogs or cats in your home or take them out for neighborhood adventures where you live.

Sacramento dog parents share their Rover experiences
Kalina has definitely exceeded my expectations as a dog walker. She is responsible, communicative, and very caring/loving towards my fur babies. At first contact, she responded very quickly and was willing to meet the next day on such short notice. Kalina was very patient with my boy, Ghost, especially when he hid under the bed for 30 mins during the first scheduled walk. She contacted me immediately to figure out next steps. Kalina wanted to respect my dog's comfortability, which I very much appreciated. The same day, Ghost warmed up to her and both of my dogs ended up enjoying the outdoors. Kalina made sure to communicate when she arrived at the house and left, also included pictures for me to see. I can tell that both Ghost and Hazel love her! Kalina did such an amazing job and I would recommend her to anyone seeking help with their fur babies. They are in great hands with her!

Meski went above and beyond in caring for our French bulldog! We absolutely loved all the thoughtful photos and little notes she sent during our time away—it gave us so much peace of mind. Our dog has special needs, and Meski accommodated him with such patience and genuine care. It is clear she truly loves what she does. We will be booking with Meski for all of our future pet care needs! Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and loving pet sitter.

I have never used Rover before Emma and I can say she made the experience so easy! She was easy to contact, great with communication/pics, patient with planning and my questions. I would highly recommend her! I feel safe using her services to walk my baby again :-)

Erica did a great job with my 2 corgis on their afternoon walks! I reached out to her last minute, and she was able to accommodate my last minute walk. She was very good at following directions, and my pup seemed to have a great time with her! Will definitely book again in the future, given her flexibility, attention to detail, and overall great experience!

Elissa was great, personable & has a good attitude for the job. She took great care of my dog and communicated with me daily. My dog seems to miss her and was checking the door in case she was coming for a visit, I think! I will definitely request her again if she is available.
