“Gail was great! We felt so comfortable leaving our dogs with her while we attended our daughter’s graduation. Her house is a perfect sanctuary for dogs and her two dogs are friendly. If we’re ever in town again and in need of a dog sitter, we would definitely call Gail again. We highly recommend!”


About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with experience working as a vet technician, so your pup will be in great hands with me. I have two friendly dogs of my own, so I’m only accepting dogs that are good with other pups. I’m comfortable with small to medium-sized dogs and always aim to make them feel like part of the family. Whether it’s a walk around the neighborhood, playtime in the backyard, or a trip to our local dog park, I make sure dogs get the attention and exercise they need. I also love sending photo updates so you can see how much fun your furry friend is having while you’re away! I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate morning, afternoon, or evening walks and visits, depending on your needs. I’m usually home during the day, especially on weekends, and can provide regular care, playtime, and attention throughout your dog’s stay. Let me know your dog’s routine—I’m happy to stick to their feeding, walking, and potty schedule to keep things consistent and stress-free for them! Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. With my background as a vet technician, I know how to handle dogs with care and confidence, and I’m always alert to their needs and behaviors. My two dogs are friendly and well-socialized, and I only accept dogs who get along well with others to keep everyone safe and happy. I have a fenced backyard for secure outdoor play and live near a local dog park for fun adventures. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pup is in good hands.

“Natalia provided excellent service and made our girl feel comfortable. Our dog can be sort of standoffish and nervous around new people, but it seems like she had a great time with Natalia during her stay. we will definitely be booking her again thank you for giving us a Moms night out.🌈💕”


“Lynn and Marty were so kind to watch my dog Rocket for the day, even though their wonderful dog, Jayce, had recently passed away. They communicated well with me in advance about the situation, and gave Rocket so much love and attention during her visit. This was Rocket's second time staying at Lynn & Marty's little slice of doggy paradise, and it won't be her last!”


“So thankful for Kate taking care of our pup! This was our first time doing doggy daycare with our rescue pup and we were thankful for the updates for the few hours we were gone and how thorough she was in making sure our pup was safe and comfortable.”


About: Since I was a just a kid I have loved all kinds of dogs, I know all the great dog parks in the area to play fetch or just let them run free (in the gated park of coarse) and even enjoy taking them on hikes threw out the city or to the beach on a sunny day! We can play fetch or tug o war, lay inside and hangout or go outside and enjoy the sun. When provided I will feed your pet and give them water when needed; and I will even give your pet treats or rewards for good behavior or fun tricks they may know. I can also provide possible grooming upon request and for an extra fee depending on grooming request and dog size and age.

“Jake is a wonderful dogsitter and Jett is a great buddy for my dog, Gaia. Gaia can be unpredictable with new dogs, and Jake was very accommodating as we got the two dogs acquainted. Now Gaia loves going to play with Jett. And Jake makes it easy - he’s conscientious, super responsive, and easy to work with. Highly recommend!”


“Amber was great! In the 12 hours my golden retriever was with her, they went on multiple walks and she was exhausted by the time we got home (that’s a good thing). They were even walking when I arrived to pick her up! Super sweet, lots of photos that we loved seeing. I highly recommend!”


“I have been fostering a very darling 8 year old Pomeranian and was in need of day time care. I found Elizabeth here on Rover very close to my house and she was so easy to get connected with almost immediately. I was able to quickly check her references, and I felt such relief knowing she was so trustworthy and could come pick up Bebe to take care of her while I tended to work. Her communication and flexibility are just what I needed - cannot recommend enough. Thank you!!”


About: I grew up with cats and dogs, my whole life! I love dog sitting and cat sitting for people in town and when I heard of Rover, I signed up because I thought it would be a good opportunity to meet new people and their furry friends who could benefit from my services!! I hope I can be a good fit for you, please reach out:) My work schedule is very flexible letting me be able to come in and out or hang out with your animals during the day and night. I will be very flexible to meet your pets needs Whatever the owner asks me to do for the dog or cat while there away is what we will do, I guarantee your kitty or doggie will be taken care of with care and love from a fellow animal lover

About: I have lived on a ranch for most of my life and have had many loving animals to raise and take care of and as such I am well equipped for your pets. I am currently looking for additional income to supplement my other part time job. I would however if hired prioritize pet care over my other job. I have three amazing dogs and tons of cats that I care for with love, pets, food, cleaning up their messes, and toys. I love spending time with them at the dog park, taking walks, laser pointers, etc.

“Collin was wonderful! I was in town for a wedding and traveling with my 9 month old puppy Jackson. Collin watched Jackson during the wedding and sent several pictures and updates throughout his stay! I would recommend booking with Collin!”



About: As a dedicated and responsible animal lover, I understand how important it is to find the right person to care for your furry family members. I share custody of a wonderful 5-year-old, and I rent a room in my home to a tenant who has a 12-year-old blind and deaf chihuahua and a sweet, friendly cat who stays out of the way. This diverse pet experience ensures I’m well-equipped to handle a variety of pet needs. I've been a mom to dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes, from a teeny tiny 4lb chihuahua to a 140lb mastiff (who was hilariously scared of the chihuahua!). My heart is big, and I’m a sucker for all creatures. I volunteer at the animal shelter as often as possible, and I foster underage puppies and kittens for the local agency Spark Rescue until they are ready for adoption. With a flexible work schedule, I can easily accommodate your needs. I’m physically fit and active, enjoying hiking and beach outings, but I’m just as happy to chill if that’s what Fido or Fluffy prefers. As a homeowner, I can ensure a stable and safe environment for your pets. I am comfortable with special dietary needs and have experience with litters of puppies and elderly dog care. I’m not afraid to get dirty and have administered insulin shots to a diabetic cat, so I’m not squeamish about medical needs either. I promise to love your fur baby as much as you do! Currently, I work from home part-time, offering me full flexibility and availability to meet your needs with a little notice. I’m all about pets and snuggles, and I will always ensure that any special needs or requests you have are taken care of to the best of my ability! I work from home part-time, with my little one in school and shared custody, allowing me the flexibility to accommodate your pet's needs with a little notice. Whether it's an active day of play or a cozy snuggle session, I'm here to provide loving care for your furry friend. Safety, trust, and a nurturing environment are my top priorities. In my home, pets enjoy a secure, loving space with constant supervision and attention. At your home, I maintain your pet's routine, ensuring comfort and consistency. I am experienced with special dietary needs, medical care, and providing a safe, engaging environment tailored to each pet's needs.

About: Pets have always been in my household since I was a child. Growing up, my best friend & I would hang out on his farm on the weekends where I truly connected with caring for pets. My personal activities of meditating and connecting with nature through physical activity help me connect with animals. Pet owners constantly appraise me for seeing there pet friends be calm & tranquil under my care. Leading with your heart makes pet care not a job but a loving experience for the little ones when your away from home. Time management is my strong skill with my administrative experience and can incorporate pet care during my downtimes. Also flexible if a pet has a certain schedule/ routine. Don't believe I can have pets in my household but will be checking in with the app yo disable this service to allow pets in my household.
