About: Hi!! I have taken care of dogs and cats of all ages. I am new to rover but have been working with animals for several years- this includes walks, dog training and belly rubs! Giving medications, doing their physical therapy exercises for seniors I can help with it all. Scroll through my gallery to meet my references!! I work a flexible schedule (I’m a Medical Device Engineer), so just shoot me a message and we can work something out. I am super outdoorsy so I go on a lot of walks and hikes..I know all the local trails. I also have a bunch of fun puzzles and other brain games for puppies that can’t leave home. Shoot me a message we can work out the best care plan for your pets. I carry my treat pouch on all visit, will have treats and poop bags. I also rock climb so my upper body strength is right up there to keep your excited puppies safe and while letting them explore. I love sniffaris . I’m also an expert hiding medications just right to get your babies to take them willingly! I can read body language and will always maintain communication with you!

About: I have lived with animals my whole life, I’ve got baby pictures to present time with my pets. I currently live with 2 dogs and 3 cats! It’s a farmhouse but we love it :) One of those dogs is my baby named Bella, she’s a super energetic and cuddly black Yorkie mix who’s 6 years old now. Growing up I’ve always wanted to be a veterinarian but didn’t realize how expensive it would be so I never fully went to be a doctor but I do still have experience working in animal hospitals. I know the basic wants and needs for your pets and will be more than happy to give them that🤗 I work 10-5 Monday through Friday, off on the weekends so if you ever need me in those gaps I have, give me a holler! I live in a very spacious home but unfortunately am not allowed to have any more pets than the ones we have now, but we do always have at least one person at home to watch the babies and always have our back door gates closed as well as our front door.

About: I absolutely love cats and have 10 years of experience caring for them. At home, I have a sweet and well-mannered 6-year-old Maine Coon cat. He enjoys eating, sleeping, and sunbathing—he’s a little lazy but incredibly charming! He’s also very friendly and gets along well with other cats. Beyond my own cat, I’ve had the pleasure of caring for many different breeds, including British Shorthairs, Golden British Shorthairs, Ragdolls, black cats, tortoiseshells, and more. I understand that every cat has a unique personality and needs, and I always strive to provide a comfortable and stress-free experience for them. Whether your cat loves playtime, enjoys quiet companionship, or needs special care, I’m happy to accommodate their preferences. I’d love the opportunity to meet and care for your furry friend! I work from home full-time, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time to caring for pets. My daily routine revolves around ensuring they are well-fed, comfortable, and entertained. Whether it’s playtime, grooming, or just providing companionship, I’m always around to meet their needs. This flexibility also allows me to closely monitor their health and behavior, ensuring they feel safe and happy at all times. I live in a spacious, pet-friendly 2B2B apartment with my wife and our friendly 6-year-old Maine Coon. Our home is quiet, safe, and designed to be a stress-free environment for cats. We ensure there are no hazards, and there’s plenty of space for pets to explore, play, or relax. Additionally, we live in a pet-friendly community, making it a welcoming and safe space for animals. If caring for pets in a client’s home, I always follow their routines and specific instructions to ensure their cat feels secure and comfortable. Cleanliness, proper feeding schedules, and personalized attention are my top priorities, whether in my home or theirs.

About: I’ve grown up with both large and small breed dogs my entire life, so caring for animals feels very natural to me. I also have hands-on experience working in a shelter environment, where I cared for dogs of all personalities — from sweet, energetic puppies to reactive dogs and those with behavioral challenges. I’m calm, patient, and attentive, and I always focus on meeting each animal where they are and respecting their individual needs. Safety, comfort, and trust are my top priorities, especially for dogs who may need a little extra understanding. I’m also a proud cat parent and absolutely love cats! I’m comfortable caring for feline friends of all personalities and making sure they feel safe, relaxed, and well-loved while you’re away. Whether it’s dogs or cats, you can trust that your pet will be treated with kindness, patience, and genuine care. I work until 2:30 pm Monday through Friday, but I’m available for afternoon and evening walks or check-ins on weekdays. My weekends are very flexible and open for longer walks, more frequent check-ins, and extended care as needed. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize safety, routine, and making sure each animal feels comfortable and secure in their own environment. I respect household rules and follow any care instructions closely to ensure consistency and minimize stress for your pet. I’m comfortable with crating when needed, providing enrichment activities, and engaging in play to make sure pets are both physically exercised and mentally fulfilled. I also have no problem cleaning up after dogs or cats and keeping their space tidy. I always take cues from the animal — whether they need structure, space, playtime, or affection. If your pet enjoys cuddles and companionship, I’m happy to provide plenty of love; if they prefer independence, I respect that too. Whatever your pet needs, I’m committed to providing thoughtful, attentive care.

About: I’ve cared for dogs for over 15 years, including my own Rottweiler who was born in 2013. She recently passed, but the years we spent together taught me what it truly means to love and understand a dog. I’ve helped friends, family, and neighbors with walks, feeding, and bathing over the years, and I care for every dog with the same love and attention I gave my Rottie. I recently just graduated from UC Irvine and I’m still in the job hunting phase, which gives me plenty of flexibility to spend quality time with your pup. I’m available for walks and drop ins on weekdays after 1pm. I’m happy to follow your dog’s routine so they feel comfortable and cared for. I make safety and comfort my top priorities. I can follow your dog’s feeding schedule, walk routine, and crate needs exactly as instructed. Whether I’m caring for your dog in your home or mine, I always keep a close eye on them and make sure they feel relaxed, understood, and well-loved just like my own Rottweiler.

About: As a mom of four and an empty nester, caring for others comes naturally to me. I’ve had dogs my whole life and am completely comfortable with pets of all sizes and personalities. I currently spend my time caring for seniors, so patience and attentiveness are second nature. I speak both English and Spanish and treat every dog as if they were part of my own family. I spend Monday through Wednesday at a senior home but have a flexible schedule and reliable transportation. I’m available for pet care the rest of the week (and Monday-Wednesday, as needed) and can adjust as needed for your pet's routine. I live in a clean, pet-friendly apartment and am very comfortable caring for dogs in smaller spaces. I make sure pets get plenty of walks, attention, and love.

Tessa is an amazing addition to our weekly routine. She is very communicative and reliable. My dog is very shy and slow to warm, but he has been easily won over by Tessa’s care and consistency. I do not have to worry if my dog is safe or able to go outside, due to Tessa’s drop-in services.

About: I’ve taken care of our family dogs (mastiffs, labs, and basset hounds) since I was a kid and have regularly cat-sit for family members and friends since I was 14. From giving medicine to cleaning up accidents I’ve probably handled anything your pet could throw at me before, and if they manage to give me something new I’m happy to learn! I work full time in a corporate office so I’m available outside the hours of 8:30a-5:30p (most days) to check up on your pets. I’m more than happy to make drop in visits on my lunch if I can! I want to make sure your pet is as comfortable as possible when I’m there! Treating your pet how you normally treat them is super important to me, and if for some reason I don’t think I’d be able to support your pet in their needs I’ll let you know right away so you can find a more appropriate sitter.

About: I've been taking care of dogs since I can remembers. We grew up with a Chihuahua and German Shepherd, and now I have a Husky. I love taking her for long walks and hikes on the weekends! I currently work from home, so I have a very flexible schedule. I can't board any pets, but I can generally petsit with some notice! I've cared for pets in multiple client's home. Some are crated and others are allowed to roam freely, this all just depends on what you prefer.

About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, birds, fish and frogs since I was a little girl. I worked at a pet hotel and daycare where I would greet, check in, play with and clean up after dogs and cats. I have also helped administer immunizations, microchips, heart dewormer, antibiotics and flea treatments. I also have experience with overnight care of small and large breed dogs. I currently work part time at a restaurant 4-5 days a week and have a lot of downtime. I am looking to fill that with some furry friends. I am cautious of opening doors, keeping them closed and ensuring escapes unlikely. I never take pets outside without proper supplies such as leash and harness, bags, their shoes and or other materials they may require.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of every kind since I was 12 years old. I have a great reputation and known for being very caring and friendly towards pets. I’m a dog and cat bather too so I can also bath your pet! I currently work part time so I have plenty of spare time to care for your pets. I work in the mornings so I have the afternoons free for your pets. I will make sure your pet is safe indoors or outdoors. I will cradle your pet if needed to keep them safe from any visitors you might be having in your home or the mailman.

Normally, when we don't have someone able to check in on Deejay when we're gone for longer periods of time, I notice he gets stressed and really lonely (crying and sometimes gets respiratory infections/sneezing). However, after Kristine spent extra time to keep him company while we were out of town, he was brighter and less sniffly when we came back! She was also extremely responsive with sending pictures and updates and extremely attentive with questions to go above and beyond our asks. I'll definitely need to book with Kristine every time now.

5 Stars – The Best Pet Sitter We’ve Had! We couldn’t be happier with our experience! Marisol was absolutely amazing with both our cat Gin and dog Makii during her house drop-in visits. From the moment she met them, it was clear she had a genuine love for animals, our usually shy cat even came right up to her, which never happens! She was super attentive, gave both pets plenty of love and playtime, and kept everything incredibly clean and tidy. We came home to happy pets and a spotless home, which made the whole experience completely stress-free. If you’re looking for someone reliable, thoughtful, and truly great with animals, Marisol is the one. We’ll definitely be booking her again!
