About: I have a few years experience with dog and cat care. I have heard positive feedback from many families I care for! Some things that have been said by different families that I regularly walk for... "Your favorite person is here!" "I didn't know they got this excited for walks!" "Her vet said shes very nervous, but she seems to like you!" I enjoy seeing and greeting each of the doggies with "pats and hellos" before we begin our time together so I usually show up a couple minutes early for that I am respectful of new animals that I meet and allow them to show me their comfort level. I have school aged kiddos, so im ready for all the shenanigans from the fur babies! While i do like to give a dog exercise, I also allow them to make stops cause every creature should be able to smell the flowers sometimes. I can run short distances if your buddy happens to prefer quicker paces! I can walk 2 or 3 dogs at a time I have available spots for walks on the following days (kept updated) Tuesday-Friday Please contact me to discuss times and dates Thank you for considering me to walk your pets I am available to care for pets in your home.

“Gabriel and his son Lucas were great with our senior dogs. He kept me updated every visit to ensure we knew how the dogs were doing. Definitely convenient that he was near my home and due to the fact that we actually don't like people wandering in our home, my husband felt comfortable with him watching over our house as he definitely went above our expectations. Will definitely use him again.”
About: Caring for animals has always been a part of my life. Growing up with a stepmom who is a veterinary technician, I gained early exposure to caring for animals with a wide range of needs, from healthy pets to those requiring medications, special diets, and extra attention due to medical conditions. I was raised in a home with at least four dogs and seven cats, so I am very comfortable caring for multiple pets with different personalities, routines, and energy levels. My experience has taught me patience, responsibility, and how to recognize when an animal may need additional care or support. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I strive to provide the same love, attention, and care that I would want for my own animals. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, senior and needing a slower pace, or requires a little extra care, I am committed to making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you are away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I have a flexible and responsible schedule. I am able to prioritize morning, afternoon, and evening care depending on the needs of each pet. I am consistent with feeding times, walks, playtime, and check-ins, and I make sure pets receive attention throughout the day rather than just quick visits. I also plan my week around any bookings I accept so that I can fully commit my time and energy to each pet in my care. I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every pet in my care. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely, maintain the pet’s normal routine, and ensure doors, gates, and feeding areas are secure at all times. I treat each home with respect and care, as if it were my own. With my background growing up around animals and veterinary care, I am comfortable recognizing signs of stress or health concerns and responding appropriately. I make sure pets are never left in unsafe situations, and I always provide attentive supervision, affection, and structure so they feel secure while their owners are away.
“Cordelia was amazing! We have a large German Shepherd rescue who loves to bark at new people. She was incredibly patient, kind, and calm with our reactive boy. He warmed up to her very fast and missed her every time she left, something that hasn’t happened with any other sitter. She made our absence easier, we were very lucky to have her watch our pup.”

“Arlena is excellent! She follows instructions and is very dependable, and she gives cute daily updates. My cats immediately liked her which was awesome because one of them tends to be scared of new people for a few days. She takes good care of your animals and shows them love. Highly recommend!!”

“Amber was always on time to take care of my pets. She gave them affection and play in addition to my regular care requests. I received pictures and or videos from each visit. Amber communicated and responded quickly when I had a question. I will absolutely use her again for pet sitting and would recommend her to others. I have used other local pet sitting companies within the last 6 months and I was very unhappy with their services. I am very pleased to have used Rover and worked with Amber. Working with Amber allowed me to enjoy myself on vacation while I was away from my pets.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Salinas
Jenna was pleasant and professional when caring for my cat Bella. She sent photos and updates, and I really appreciated that spent the whole 30 minutes trying to find Bella who wouldn't come out of hiding. Jenna made sure that Bella had water on the front porch and left her some treats, confirmed that Bella wasn't out on the street. She even walked around the neighborhood looking for Bella, and saw the cat that Bella doesn't like hanging out on my back fence. This explains why Bella wasn't interested in socializing. Thanks, Jenna, I appreciate your care.
Maria has been great! We have been working with her for months and have really grown to trust her. I really appreciate her timely and informative communication with me. Recently, our dog had a week of sickness, and she was more than willing to help clean up any of his messes he left. The pictures we receive in the Rover app definitely show how much our dog is comfortable with her. We are so grateful and highly recommend her services.

Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.
