“I have a difficult dog, who can be reactive and needs more socialization. Alyssa has just started working with him and made a lot of progress and building trust with him, in just two walks.”


“I cannot say enough about how great Natalie is with Chet and in general. She is really knowledgeable about dogs and their energies and idiosyncrasies. I am forever grateful for finding her on Rover!”

About: I have owned and cared for dogs my whole life. I adore all pets and have worked with many breeds including toy poodles and doodles, German shepherds, golden retrievers, pit bulls, and many more! I’d love the opportunity to help keep your dogs healthy and happy. I am currently a part-time graduate student so I will have plenty of time to help with your pets! I am available week days and weekends for drop ins, walks, and house sitting including early mornings and evenings. I maintain respect and cleanliness in all areas of life, especially in the homes of others. I have been trusted to care for pets and house sit since I was a young child. I am responsible, extremely patient, responsive, and eager to help care for your pets. I have experience working with difficult animals and ensuring they feel safe and cared for.
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.
“Wendy is amazing and her experience with dogs immediately shows! I was a little nervous as Lucy had never been walked by anyone other than us. I loved the pictures and videos Wendy sent showing Lucy was thoroughly enjoying her time out. We did not hesitate to rebook Wendy for recurring walks!”

About: Hi my names Christina I've loved animals since I was a little girl I have many years of self experienced pet care I've had every type of animal you can think of from cats and dogs to ferrets and reptiles of all sorts including birds and fish. Over my 32 years of life I've owned horses, dogs, cats, small mammals , reptiles, amphibians, invertebrates, and so much more I've took care of my family and friends pets when they've needed it I love animals of all sorts an caring for them know matter the type hopefully I can care for yours to I'm currently open for sitting ,walking ,and drop in visits my daily an weekly schedule is open most of the time so I can love an care for your pets as needed. I have cats an reptiles and a rat that our my own pets I take care of daily at my home but I'm familiar with dogs as well as small animals such as rats an rabbits ,ferrets ,birds.
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.

“Kirsten has been great to work with! She’s super responsive and seems to genuinely love walking our pup! Our dog is high energy and she has been handling her with ease. We feel great about her as our go-to walker!”

“Jennifer and her daughter were great with our dogs! They took them on different routes each day and gave them lots of cuddles. I definitely recommend them! Thank you for treating our babies like family!”

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.
“Jacob was very communicative and patient with my dog. He followed all of my instructions and took lots of pictures while on the walk. Will definitely be using him again!”


About: I have over 8 years of experience working as a daycare and overnight attendant at a dog daycare. I have seen and handled almost any situation you can imagine. I have also had multiple dogs and cats in my life since I was a child. My special skill is finding that right spot to scratch for each dog. I’m currently working on a from-home freelance basis so other than the occasional errand, I can spend all day with your pets wether that be lounging on the couch or walking to the park I can’t currently host any pets in my house but I’m mobile and available for all types of services from quick walks and check ups to long stays in your 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!”

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.

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.
Bailee is awesome! She walked Bird twice this week and was super kind, communicative, and easy to work with. Bird loved her right away! We talked about her possibly sitting for an upcoming trip, which is huge for me because I’ve never felt comfortable leaving Bird with anyone before. Knowing she’s a vet tech gives me a ton of peace of mind too. So glad I found her!
