About: I have experience caring for dogs through helping family members, friends, and neighbors with their pets. I am comfortable with dogs of different sizes and personalities and enjoy spending time with them. My experience includes feeding, walking, providing fresh water, playing, and giving pets attention and companionship. I understand the importance of following the owner’s instructions, maintaining routines, and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I am responsible, reliable, and genuinely enjoy being around animals. I work from 2pm to 8pm every day, so I am available during mornings and early afternoons for dog walks, feeding, check-ins, and playtime. I am reliable, organized, and happy to help care for pets before my work shift. I will always make sure your pet gets attention, exercise, and care. Can do overnight care. I always make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for in their home environment. I follow feeding schedules, keep fresh water available, and pay close attention during walks and playtime. I am patient, responsible, and will treat every pet with kindness and care.

About: I grew up around all sorts of animals. We always had a dog and a cat or two. We also had birds and a bunny and also a hamster. I love walking and playing with dogs and I get along with all different breeds and sizes. I don’t currently have a full time job so I’m available pretty much anytime. I’m available for boarding and visits during the week and weekends. I have a good sized unfenced yard with a half an acre of woods in the back. I also have a dog of my own who loves other dogs and would love a playmate. I can crate your dog if needed.

About: I have had pets my whole life and have been pet sitting for the past five years. I have come to know these pets that I have watched as family members, but have since moved back to California! I have experience with cats and dogs, both my own, and other people that I have watched as well as a few bunnies and even some rats! I am happy to help with cleaning around the house or small gardening activities if necessary during longer trips or anything else that might be necessary for someone to have a comfortable vacation! I hope I can be your go to pet sitter for years to come! I just moved back to the area so I have a part-time job at a winery till about 6 pm on Fridays and Saturdays, but can work around that (just ask!) or any other day of the week! I love making pets feel comfortable and sticking to their given routine. I feel that when the parents are out of town, it can be stressful so keeping things as normal as possible is incredibly important! It’s great to go on walks for dogs and just to have some time lounging around for cats playing with one of their toys. I have experience with mildly aggressive or reactive dogs and semi feral cats and know some tips and tricks to make them feel more comfortable and less scared upon meeting me for the first time.

About: I have cared for dogs, cats, kittens, and puppies for most of my life. Ever since I was 3 years old, I’ve grown up surrounded by animals and developed a strong love and understanding for pet care. Over the past year, I’ve also gained experience caring for a senior dog, including providing patience, attention, and daily support for their specific needs. In addition, I enjoy working with puppies and have experience teaching basic training and new tricks. I treat every pet like family and always strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I am currently working part-time, which gives me plenty of time to care for your pets and provide them with the attention they deserve. I am available on both weekends and weekdays, with the most flexibility in the mornings. I also have availability during some afternoons and evenings, allowing me to accommodate a variety of schedules and pet care needs. I always make sure pets are in a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment, whether in my home or a client’s home. I carefully follow each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication, and any special instructions provided by the owner. I pay close attention to pets at all times to ensure their safety and well-being, and I make sure they receive plenty of love, exercise, and attention while in my care. I also keep spaces clean, secure, and pet-friendly so owners can feel confident that their pets are being cared for like family.

About: Been a dog lover and owner all my life and would love the opportunity to take care of your dog if our schedules are able to align. I'm a teacher, so my summers are generally pretty open. I work Monday and Wednesday nights from about 5-7pm, but am otherwise available, unless otherwise noted in my calendar. Available times may change. I am offering dog walking and drop-ins at the moment, but I will care for any dogs as if they were my own, and will be in contact with the owners on an as needed basis. I plan/hope to expand to dog sitting eventually.

About: I’ve always been passionate about dogs, and caring for them feels more like joy than work. Whether it’s playtime, walks, cuddles, or making sure meals and routines are on track, I treat every pup like they’re my own. I know how important it is to trust the person looking after your furry family member, so I focus on keeping them safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. From energetic puppies to senior snugglers, I adapt to each dog’s personality and needs. My goal is to give pet parents peace of mind — because your dog deserves more than just care, they deserve genuine attention and affection. I do live on a secluded piece of land with 60+ acres ideal for your pup to stay if needed! We have hiking trails throughout the property and a porch to soak up some rays! I have most weekends off and one day a week I work from home. I can also drop in for evening care when needed ! I have experience with reactive dogs so I’m highly aware of all situations. I’m alert so I can keep your dog safe as well as myself.

About: Hi! I’m Sofey — a pet lover with hands-on experience in walks, drop-ins, and basic care. I’m Fear Free certified and certified in Canine & Feline CPR and First Aid. I focus on safety, calm handling, and keeping pets comfortable in their routine. I also run my own pet care business, Walkies & Wags, outside of Rover. I’d love to care for your pets like they’re my own! My schedule revolves around my job, which has no set days, but I work four 10-hour shifts a week, usually gone from about 6:00 AM to 5:30 PM including my commute. On my days off, I love focusing on caring for animals, whether it’s drop-ins, walks, or just spending quality time with them! I’m unable to offer pet sitting in my apartment due to a no pet policy, but I’m more than happy to pet sit in your home, stop by for walks, feeding, playtime, and whatever else your pet needs!

Ashley always goes above and beyond. She's extremely diligent about communication, topping off water bowls, and meeting my dog's needs depending on her mood, whether it's walking, playing, giving pets,or just letting her soak up some rays for a bit. I have every confidence that she will give my girl exactly what she needs!
