“We have used Brie multiple times now to watch our English bulldog and we love her! We've used a couple girls from this site, and have liked them all! But we prefer Brie, and always check with her first! She makes us feel so comfortable when we have to be away, knowing that she's taking great care if him! She is so sweet, upbeat and easy to work with! Absolutely recommend her!”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I truly love. I have over 7 years of hands-on experience raising, rescuing, and fostering pets of all ages. At 15, I welcomed my first dog into my family when she was just 2 months old, and she’s now 4 years old and thriving. I’ve also fostered a 1-month-old puppy until he was 1 year old before helping him find a loving forever home. One of my proudest experiences was rescuing a 3-week-old kitten from underneath a car. I bottle-fed her, cared for her around the clock, and she’s now a healthy, happy 7-month-old member of my family. In addition, I’ve fostered two newborn kittens until they were about 2 months old, helping them grow strong before finding them wonderful homes. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I always treat them with patience, kindness, and the same love I’d give my own. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playtime, administering basic care, or giving extra attention to puppies, kittens, or senior pets, I’m committed to making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. My own cats are friendly and comfortable around dogs, and I have experience caring for pets in multi-animal households. I know how important trust is when leaving your furry family member with someone else, and I’ll always provide dependable, attentive care and plenty of updates for your peace of mind. Availability: I offer daycare Monday through Sunday Overnight boarding is available Monday through Sunday. I’m committed to providing reliable, attentive care and will always communicate with you about scheduling to ensure the best experience for you and your pet.

I understand that every animal has different needs, routines, and personalities, so I take the time to make them feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. Having raised and fostered young puppies and kittens, including bottle-fed rescues, I know how important patience, close supervision, and gentle care are. My home is pet-friendly, and my cats are friendly around dogs. I always prioritize safe introductions, constant supervision, and maintaining your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible.

“Kate is a really great dog walker. She was available on short notice, timely, had a genuine love for our dog, and after just a few walks he is already super excited to see her for exercise time!”

About: What sets me apart is my background as a former veterinary assistant, giving me experience with animals of all ages, personalities, and needs.

I treat every home and every pet with the same respect and attention I would want for my own. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully, maintain routines, provide a calm and comfortable environment, and pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and needs. My experience as a former veterinary assistant has helped me recognize signs of stress, illness, or discomfort and provide thoughtful care. Whether in my home or yours, I want pets to feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away.
About: I’ve been around pets for as long as I can remember. We had cats growing up and when I turned 9, we got our first dog. It was then that I took on more responsibility as a pet owner. I would regularly walk her around our neighborhood and I spend a lot of time with her in the pool teaching her fun tricks. Ever since then, I’ve taken care of our, now, two dogs and those of friends and family. I’m a full-time production assistant in Fresno, CA. I have standard in office days and days when I’m on set for 8+ hours. I am currently only accepting weekend bookings to ensure I can give your pets the utmost time and care their deserve! Once my weekdays quiet down, I’ll open them up for availability. I am a full-time production assistant in Fresno. Weekdays are currently too inconsistent in structure for me feel confident I can provide the same attention and care your pets deserve, as I know I can provide on weekends. That being said, I’m great for weekends! I’d be happy to create peace of mind while you’re away. While unable to bring dogs into my own home, I can and will gladly take your dog on a walk around your neighborhood. I am adamant about strong communication. I send updates about when I arrive, what I was able to feed them, if we played, if they went poddy, how I tidied up, and when I leave!
About: I’ve grown up with a big group of animals my whole life including, dogs, cats, horses, goats, and chickens. I grew up on a farm in clovis as well as a farm in Oregon where I took care of the animals we had. I’ve been known to be very trustworthy and reliable to my friends and family for pet and housesitting sometimes watching more than one pet at a time while they are out of town! I’m a student right now living on my own. I currently have open availability and i’m looking for a full time job to do while using my passion of pet care to keep me afloat! 🤍 I don’t offer in home services due to having tow cats of my own and too many problems with cohabitation with other animals. But in your home I can adhere to any schedule provided for your furry friends incuding but not limited to, walks, playtime, kennel rounds, backyard fun, medicine, and cuddles.

About: I’ve been around dogs for most of my life and had an English Bulldog for almost 8 years as well as a bull mastiff growing up, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pet. Over the years, I’ve also pet sat and dog walked for neighbors, friends, and family. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, giving lots of attention, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m looking to broaden my pet-sitting and dog walking experience and would love the opportunity to care for your pets like they’re my own! I’m currently a full-time online student, so I’m home most of the day and have a very flexible schedule. Aside from going to the gym or running an occasional errand, I’m usually home, which means your dog will get plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and love throughout the day! Since my classes are online, I’m able to easily work pet care into my daily routine and make sure your dog isn’t left alone for long periods of time. I have a spacious, fully fenced backyard with plenty of grass and room for dogs to play, run around, and get fresh air safely. I also don’t currently have any dogs in my home, so your pet will get my full attention and won’t have to worry about unfamiliar animals. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, and any special instructions you provide. I also love taking dogs on walks and can adjust the length and pace depending on their age, energy level, and usual routine.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since 2015 and have hands-on experience working in a professional dog training and daycare facility. Through that environment, I gained experience handling a wide range of personalities,from high-energy breeds to anxious or shy dogs, and learned the importance of structure, consistency, and reading behavior cues. I’ve also provided in-home dog sitting for multiple families over the years, and I’m currently an active volunteer with a local animal rescue in Fresno. Dogs tend to warm up to me quickly, and I prioritize calm, attentive care so both pets and owners feel comfortable and confident while they’re away. Please note that new clients for over night stays are required to have a meet and greet before booking to ensure safety for both myself and the client/dogs. I’m a hairstylist with a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide consistent care and attention for dogs. On the rare occasion when I have a fully booked day, I make arrangements to ensure their needs are met, whether that’s a mid-day potty break or extra attention when I’m home. I provide attentive, calm care in clients’ homes. I’m trustworthy, experienced, and dogs warm up to me quickly, ensuring their comfort and safety while you’re away.
About: ⚠️ PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE CONTACTING ⚠️ To ensure we're a good fit and to respect both our time, please review my pricing and policies below before reaching out. Thank you! Welcome! I'm so glad you're here 🐾 Why families choose me I know how hard it is to leave your furry family member with someone new. That's why I'd love for you to visit my home before booking – see where your pet will stay, meet me in person, and get a feel for the environment. No pressure, just peace of mind. Here's what makes my care different: I only take two to three pets at a time. Yes, I have space for more, but I intentionally keep things small. Your pet isn't just another booking; they get my full attention, a calm environment, and the kind of care I'd want for my own pet. Since I work from home, your pet is never alone. If your pup has separation anxiety or just loves company, they'll have me nearby all day. I genuinely treat every guest like they're part of my family. What you can expect • Photos you'll actually love: I take pride in capturing beautiful moments of your pet. Check out my profile photos – that's the quality you'll get! I want you to see your pet's personality shine and know they're happy and loved. • Real communication: During business hours, you can call me anytime. Need an update? Have a question? I'm here. Your peace of mind matters. • A spotless home: My place is deep-cleaned weekly. It's fresh, odor-free, and hygienic. You're always welcome to visit! Just a heads up – I do ask guests to remove shoes to keep things pristine. • Safe outdoor space: The backyard has seven gorgeous redwood trees that provide tons of shade. That said, your pup will spend most of their time inside with me, where it's cool and comfortable. I never leave dogs unsupervised outside for extended periods. • A calm, quiet home: No young kids, and no elderly family members. Just a peaceful space where your pet can relax and be the star of the show. • No pool: One less thing to worry about! Safety first. Important details about care & pricing • Veterinary care: If I notice anything concerning about your pet's health, I'll contact you immediately (and Rover). If I can't reach you, I'll take them to the vet. All bookings are covered by Rover's Guarantee (up to $25,000 for eligible vet expenses). • Pricing adjustments: I do charge additional fees for certain situations to ensure I can provide the best care: Small: Base Rate Medium dogs: (30-60 lbs): +$15 Large dogs (60-90 lbs): +$20 Giant dogs (90-200 lbs): +$100 Puppies under 1 year (not potty trained): +$125 Why the large/giant dog fees? I want to be transparent about this. • Decline other reservations: due to the lack of space, I might need to be forced to cancel other reservations to ensure we have adequate space for your furry friend. • Space & capacity: When I host a large or giant breed, it often means I can only take one other pet (or sometimes no other pets) to ensure everyone has adequate space and comfort. This limits my availability for other bookings. • Physical demands: Larger dogs require more physical strength and energy – from handling on walks to managing their movements indoors. It's more intensive work to provide the attentive, hands-on care they deserve. • Wear and resources: Bigger dogs naturally need more of everything – more food, more space, more cleanup. They also create more wear on furniture, floors, and the home environment. • Individual attention: Every dog gets my full focus, but larger dogs often need extra time and specialized care to ensure they're comfortable and happy in my home. This pricing ensures I can give your large or giant dog the quality, individualized attention they deserve without compromising on care. Why the puppy fee? Puppies are wonderful, but they need specialized care! I take your pup out every 30 minutes to support their potty training and help them develop good habits. It's hands-on work, but it makes a real difference. If your puppy is already crate and potty trained, I'm happy to waive this fee. Again, please review these details before reaching out so we can make sure we're the right fit for your pet! I can't wait to meet you and your furry friend! 🐕💕 A day in the life with me 🌅 I'm naturally an early riser, which works out perfectly for your pup! Here's what a typical day looks like: Morning: We start the day with a refreshing morning walk to get those legs moving and set a positive tone for the day. Throughout the day: Your dog will get regular potty breaks in my backyard all morning long. Since I work from home, I'm always here to let them out when they need it. Evening: When the weather's nice, we'll wind down with an evening walk to stretch, explore, and burn off any remaining energy. This is the exact routine I followed with my own dog, and it worked wonders for his potty training. He learned to trust that I'd take him out when needed, and I learned to trust that he'd wait. It's all about consistency and communication! Your dog will seamlessly become part of my daily rhythm – same love, same care, same attention I gave my own. They're not just a guest; they're family while they're here. 🐕❤️ 🐣They will be in a safe and secure environment, where no dog will be distressed. I prioritize understanding each dog's behavior by discussing their temperament with clients and taking proactive measures to ensure a calm and harmonious atmosphere. This is why I limit the number of dogs to a maximum of two per night, to maintain individual attention and safety for all pets involved.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 15, but my love for animals started long before that. I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and they truly have a special place in my heart.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
