About: I’ve had dogs since I was 10 years old. I’ve lived and raised 3 since then. Two mini babies and one large baby, although he acts like a mini one. They currently do not live with me, but I miss them every day and I want to give that love and affection to your fur babies, as someone who spends their phone battery rewatching videos or facetiming my own dogs. I’m very patient and disciplined with dogs and their needs, and I’m a firm believer that every dog should get hugs and attention. We’re their whole world! But if you’re not able to, don’t worry I can! More recently, I became a foster mommy for two animal shelters in san diego. Every now and then, I’ll have a foster in my home but I make sure they get along with dogs before taking them in. If your dog does not get along with other dogs, don’t worry! Feel free to still message me because some days I don’t have any dogs with me at all. I work a full-time remote job - 5 days a week. Every hour, I make sure I stand or get a good walk in. I would love to do that with a furry friend! Additionally, I can work anywhere on my laptop as long as there’s wifi, and I can definitely do it while caring for your pup. There are a lot of daily habits I do because I spent majority of my life with dogs. Some examples include: not leaving food near the edge of counters, not leaving trash out in the open, closing all doors to rooms they’re not allowed in, and only letting them eat food that is part of their normal diet. I’m very disciplined when it comes to training or following their schedule or diet.

“Adriana was awesome! She gave me thorough updates with pictures during her visit as well. It’s a relief knowing I have someone I can trust with my dog! I will definitely request her services again.”

About: I have previously taken care of both dogs and cats, even both at the same time! I have experience walking and overnight stays with dogs from a 100+ pound great dane pit bull mix to 8 week old puppies. I currently work in office from 7A-4P, M-F. So my availability on weekdays are strictly during nighttime. Weekends during the day/night are very much open and are my preferred booking times. While I cannot board pets at my house, I will do the utmost to insure that your furry friend is comfortable and safe while you are away! I will also make sure your house is spotless upon your return!

“Dana came to meet me and my 4 dogs. I went out for an evening and had her stay for a few hours so my dogs could get to know her to prepare for an out of town trip. She was on time, communicated, and followed instructions. I will definitely rebook with her again.”

About: I am new to Rover but not new to pet or house sitting in general. I have sat dogs and cats while family and friends have gone on extended vacations. I am fully background checked (teacher by trade). I love to go on walks and am great with consistency/expectations if your dog is in a training program. I am a teacher who is off for the summer with no vacation plans! I can dedicate a lot of time to checking on your cat or taking care of your dog. Dogs will have the run of the downstairs and opportunities for backyard play during the day but will be expected to stay crated/in pen at night. Feedings happen on the schedule you provide and dogs will get at least two walks a day. Doggos will be treated like they belong in my house. If interested in drop ins for cat care, I will play with your cat, provide pets and head scritches, check on food and water, and remove litter box waste. It is important to me that your pets feel safe and that their routine isn’t disrupted too much. So a meet and greet for us to both feel comfortable about your pet’s care is a must!

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I genuinely love, not just a job to me. I’m the kind of person who will happily stop to pet every dog on a walk, remember each pet’s little quirks, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, shy and anxious, or older and needing extra patience, I adapt to their personality and routine so they feel as stress-free as possible. I’m reliable, attentive, and big on communication, so you can expect regular updates, photos, and honest check-ins while your pet is in my care. My goal is always to make pets feel like they’re with a trusted friend, not just a sitter. From long walks and playtime to cuddles on the couch and sticking to feeding or medication schedules, I truly put care and love into every visit. I am looking to fill my summer as much as possible while I am back from school, so I have an extremely open availability for all kinds of care needed! I provide care in my client’s home so pets can stay comfortable in the environment they know best and keep their normal routine. I make sure each pet gets plenty of attention, affection, exercise, playtime, and consistent care based on their individual needs and personality. I also prioritize safety by carefully following feeding instructions, medication schedules, walking guidelines, and any house or pet routines provided by the owner. This especially goes for nighttime vigilance to protect your pets from wildlife. I understand how important trust is when someone is caring for your pet, so I always aim to communicate clearly, provide regular updates and photos, and make sure both pets and owners feel comfortable and at ease.

“Mackenzie was an absolute gem and I would absolutely book her again. Smart, timely, efficient and caring, she is the perfect sitter. When there was a problem she offered a solution. She took care of my cat, Bella, with ease and made sure to follow my instructions exactly. Excellent sitter!”

About: I have years of hands on experience caring for dogs and have personally trained every dog I’ve owned throughout my life. I also have previous experience with pet sitting positions, where I provided reliable daily care, feeding, walks, playtime, and companionship. In addition, I completed an internship at a veterinary clinic, which gave me experience working with animals in a professional setting and following proper care routines. I am comfortable administering medications, vitamins, and following special instructions to ensure each pet’s needs are met. I’m definitely one of those dog moms who treats every pet like family, so I understand how important it is to leave your dog with someone trustworthy, patient, and attentive. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while in my care. My schedule is flexible, and I am available mornings and afternoons, as well as mid day depending on the day of the week. I’m happy to work with different schedules to help accommodate your pet’s needs. For pet sitting in my home, I do ask that dogs are friendly with kids and other pets. I have a little brother and a dog of my own, so creating a safe and comfortable environment for everyone is very important to me. Your pet will still receive the same love, attention, care, and supervision as if they were my own. I strive to make every dog feel welcomed, comfortable, and part of the family while staying with me. For pet sitting in your home, I am comfortable staying overnight if needed and following your pet’s normal routine to help them feel safe and secure in their own environment. I’m attentive to all instructed care, including special needs, medications, feeding schedules, and any other specific directions you provide. I also make sure dogs get their regular walks, exercise, and plenty of attention and care while you’re away. My goal is to maintain their usual routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for in their own home.

“Heather has really helped my mom and I out with her pug dolly. Dolly was very sick and in hospice I would recommend Heather to take care of any elderly dog.”

About: I have three senior dogs who require daily medication. I am competent at administering medications, such as insulin injections, pills, ear and eye drops, and topical medications. I have also pet sit for families with elderly animals with special food requirements. In addition I currently work at a dog dare care/ resort where I watch dogs in a group setting, feed a variety of different dogs with different diets, and clean any dog related mess. I am a big dog lover with a flexible schedule and active lifestyle. I have a very flexible schedule where my afternoons are free most days. I have soccer practice in the mornings and class Tuesday and Thursdays at night. I have stayed in clients homes on different occasions, where I am very clean, respectful, and responsible. I always leave the home cleaner then when I arrived.

About: I’ve had all kinds of animals around since I was born. My family taught me how precious they are and how much they need our love. I used to pet sit around my neighborhood growing up to make extra money as well. I am starting out part time because I work another job, but I would love to be able to do pet sitting full time as a love all animals and get extreme comfort being around them. I am very professional and transparent. I’m strictly doing this because of my love for animals. I also understand how difficult it is to find reliable people.

About: I’ve been around pets my whole life. Since I was little growing up in Brazil, we had dogs, cat, hamsters, fish and roosters.
