“Paige is wonderful with my dog, who has leash anxiety. As our regular dog walker, she is always punctual and communicative. On our first visit, Paige took the time to ask thoughtful questions about his triggers, routines, allergies, treats, and do’s and don’ts before starting. She handled him calmly and patiently, making safety and positive interactions a clear priority. I really appreciated how attentive and understanding she is, which gave me peace of mind knowing my dog was in caring, capable hands. Highly recommend!”

About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience being around animals of all kinds and my genuine love for caring for them. From dogs and pigs to chickens and ducks, I’m very comfortable handling different personalities, routines, and needs. I started pet sitting for neighbors and family friends in high school, and over the years I’ve gained hands-on experience with walking, feeding, bathing, overnight care, and making pets feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I truly enjoy spending quality time with animals, whether that means energetic playtime or relaxing cuddles on the couch. I currently work full time Monday to Friday, but I have the flexibility to leave should I need to do a drop by throughout the day. I currently provide care in my client’s home, where I make it a priority to not only care for your pets, but also respect and maintain your space. I carefully follow all instructions and routines to ensure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. Communication is very important to me, so I will always reach out with any questions or updates to make sure your pets receive the best care possible. My goal is to leave both your pets happy and your home just as clean as when I arrived.

About: I bring hands-on experience and a genuine understanding of animals to every visit. I’ve volunteered in animal shelters, where I worked with pets of all temperaments, and I’m also a pet owner myself with both a dog and a cat—so I know how important it is to trust someone with your animals. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, senior pets, cats, and multi-pet households, and I focus on creating a calm, consistent environment tailored to each pet’s needs. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I’m very structured and disciplined. As a Division 1 athlete, I train almost twice a day, which has taught me strong time management, consistency, and reliability qualities I bring into every pet sitting job. Outside of training, I make time for my family and friends, but I keep my schedule flexible and plan ahead so I can give each pet the attention they deserve. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening care, I’m able to adapt and provide dependable, consistent support for both pets and their owners. I focus on keeping pets comfortable, safe, and on a routine that feels familiar to them. In my home, I provide a clean, calm environment with plenty of supervision, regular potty breaks, exercise, and attention based on each pet’s energy level and personality. I’m mindful of introductions and space, especially since I have both a dog and a cat, and I make sure every animal feels secure and respected. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I stick closely to their usual schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, and any medications or special instructions. I take time to understand each pet’s habits and preferences so they experience as little disruption as possible. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they know their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for.
About: I've been around cats since I was born, and there has always been a cat in my family. Now, I have my own cat named Sia. I make sure to respect a cat's space and avoid bothering them if they're not interested. However, I'm always open to giving hugs and pets if they seek it. I’m self-employed photographer. Mostly I work at home editing photos. So it is a pleasure to get out of home for some time to see new pets. My cat is chill and she usually doesn’t like to be pet and I’m not forcing until she asks for it. She sleeps with me in the bed , however she is grumpy at morning time and always wants to sleep in. Also we always play together hide and seek and just with her toys. I tried to go out with her once she isn’t big fan of it so we decided to keep it chill and be just at home.
About: I am a mom. I can manage a potty trained dogs and animals. Love walks/cuddles. Daily walks. A routine. I wake up early for a morning walk, longer walk during the day and then a night walk to get energy or pees/poops out. I walk my golden every day/3 x a day. Loving service dog. Docile golden. Sweet with animals. He has been around multiple small dogs, cats, hamsters. Always sweet. I have a fenced yard with locks on the gate. Animals can go in or out. Cool breeze patio. Animals can sit on couch. Fresh water multiple times per day. Snacks if permitted. Lots of love from school aged kids.
“Jane was amazing. She responded quickly to my messages and was able to accommodate my short notice booking. She was also very sweet and drove my dog to the next neighborhood over to walk him because my neighborhood is not walkable!”

About: I've loved animals my whole life and treat them as I do my own children with much TLC. I feel animals are just as important and need care as much as we do. They are the most genuine and purest form of love and friendship one can endure. I used to run a infant and toddler home daycare and now I'm interested in expanding my pet sitting business. I have more free time as I've closed the home business and venturing out in pet care. I prefer care in the owner's home where the pets are most comfortable in their familiar environment. I will feed, pickup droppings, walk and snuggle.
“María has been really patient with my girls. Tessa gets very anxious and barks and María met with us twice to allow her time to warm up. María is excellent with updates and we look forward to having her stay with the girls overnight.”

“Mackenzie was very nice. She had no problem coming in and getting to know Nikko. He’s a puppy so his energy is high and she did great with him. I’d recommend her if you’re looking for someone reliable to walk your dog.”


About: I’ve been a dog owner for over 15 years. I love the joy they bring to others. I have experience with puppies and senior dogs. I would love to help care for your dog, whether it’s sitting or walking. I am pursuing pet care full time so my schedule is flexible for walks and pet sitting. I will work with you to make sure your dog is taken care of and happy! I am very thorough in making sure every pet has a safe and comfortable space. I have a friendly dog of my own and can bring him along if your pet wants a play buddy!
“Our dog Tink very much enjoyed the daily walks with Alicia and we really appreciated Alicia helping us out to accommodate our work schedule last week. Tink was looking forward to the walks with Alicia despite the rainy weather. Thank you very much!”

“Rebecca was amazing with our pup Koda, who is a bigger dog. She is very responsive and communicative. We appreciated her help so much she gave us peace of mind during our trip!”


“Kairi is absolutely in love with Martha and she's been a dream to work with. Attentive and available, she checks in and is great at staying on time or asking questions when needed. Martha takes directions really well and communicates effectively. Plus my 2-year-old Siberian Husky Kairi is always thrilled to see Martha and go for a walk. We are absolutely regulars now!”

“Whitney is a true pet lover. She is very thoughtful, communicative, and caring. Our dogs and I look forward to many future visits with her. Many thanks from everyone in our family, Whitney!”

About: Full time pet care professional - your pets are my priority! I’ve never met a dog I didn’t love, and I can’t wait to meet yours! Every pet is unique, with their own personality, and I am excited to take care of them and earn their trust to become a reliable sitter that they enjoy seeing. Fast paced and playful or laid-back and lounging, conforming to your pets lifestyle is important to me - I also send updates at least once a day, as well as pictures, so you don’t miss your babies too much! About Me: As a full time sitter, I get lots of 1 on 1 time with my furry guests! I love having a head to pet or ball to throw throughout the day, and spend a majority of my time at home with my ever-growing, extended fur-family. I have extensive experience with fear-free basic training, including walk fundamentals, as well as trust building training and practices. I am also well versed in administering medications (liquid, pill, and subcutaneous) to pets with special needs and health conditions, including senior dogs (I love a frosted face!) I have a darling, 15 year old, Chinese Crested named Kovu who spends her golden years napping and welcoming her furry friends with a sniff and a shake. Having two special needs dogs in recent years, I know how hard it is to leave your little loves behind. I am also independently insured as a pet sitter, daycare provider, pet trainer, and pet taxi through Pet Care Insurance (PCI). About My Home: My home features a large, fenced-in yard on a quiet street with tons of space for pups to run around and play. When the weather allows, they’re given free rein of the inside and outside of my home. The maximum time a dog is ever alone in my home is 2 hours (when I need to grocery shop or go to an appointment), but there is always a dog-loving adult family member home in case of an unexpected emergency. I am not a sitter who boards as many pets as possible, as that is too stressful on the dogs and is not the kind of care I would want my baby to receive. I only allow up to 2 pet families to book on any day, and my rates reflect the individual attention, love, and calm environment that your pups receive in my care. I like to have a hands-on approach when pet sitting, and anything we can do together, we do together! Pups love coming over to my home because they know they’re in for a fun time!
San Carlos dog parents share their Rover experiences
Andrew is awesome! He’s such a fast walker so when he takes my dog on a walk it’s a WALK. My high energy pup always gets at least 2.5 miles in with Andrew and it helps so much on days that I am out of town. Andrew is also very detailed in his reports, responsive, and a pleasure work with

Mackenzie does an amazing job with my extremely high energy boxer. Boo is usually super hyper and can be a bit of a jumper, but Mackenzie does an amazing job of getting her calm and taking her on walks. I can certainly say that Boo comes back very satisfied and gets excited when I say Mackenzie’s name.

Mary did a great job walking my girls. I had a friend cancel last minute and she agreed to walk them with very short notice. I appreciated the photos she sent of them. She also helped with feeding them and putting on a tv show before leaving! Will be requesting her in the future.

Matt is a dog whisperer! He did a fantastic job walking our 75-pound pit mix, Rosie, for an hour each morning for 8 days. He was very punctual, great at dealing with Rosie’s habit of scrounging for food and her dog reactivity. He also took the sweetest photos for Rosie’s walk report cards. We will absolutely book Matt again!!
