“I am beyond pleased with the exceptional care and attention that our male dog walker provided to my two schnauzers. In just two walks, it is evident that he genuinely cares for them. His sweet demeanor and dedication make him a standout choice. I will definitely be utilizing his services again”

About: Hello, my name is Dawn and I love pets. I grew up with cats but over the last 20 years I have had dogs. They have been a part of my life since. I have raised pugs from puppies and had the joy of adopting an older daschund mix that I receive from the local shelter. I currently taking care of a frenchie now. I am very attentive to my dogs. They are a part of my family. They get fresh water and healthy food during the day. I walk then often and give them tons of TLC. I would treat your doggies the same way that I would treat mine. I live in Santa Cruz County. I enjoy taking walks in nature and would share that joy with yours dogs for an afternoon/ evening stroll. I understand that pets are part of a family and their daily needs should be met as part of anyone else's day. I will take care of your pets as the owner would want. I will like to keep their environment as close to the environment that they normally have to reduce stress for them for when their person is away. I do have a fenced backyard in my home for doggies.
About: I have experience with pet sitting for friends and neighbors over the past year along with having had all different breeds of dogs growing up and enjoy their company. I love to go for walks, hikes, the beach and would love to take your dog with me. I've had to give senior dogs medication and look after them. I know how hard it is to trust someone to watch your fur baby when your away and I'm that person and I will treat them like royalty. I am home everyday at 12:00. My husband works from home so one of us is always home with your dog. I am ready when I get home to take your dog with me on a walk or hike. Your dog will have access to a dog run area all day long and a large backyard when we are home. I have a house with a large fenced in yard and your dog will have complete access to outside at all times. At this time I don't have a dog of my own, so there will be no conflict between dogs. I want your dog to feel at home as much possible.
About: With over 20 years of experience caring for cats and dogs of all breeds and temperaments, I bring professional, reliable, and compassionate care to your pets. From administering medications and subcutaneous fluids to handling strong dogs on walks, I make sure your companions are safe, comfortable, and loved. At home, I care for two special-needs rescue cats, Angel and Squirrel, both three-legged “tripawds,” who keep me grounded in love every day. Animals have been my companions and teachers since childhood, and I love bringing that attentiveness into every sit. When I care for your pets, you can expect daily updates, consistent communication, and the peace of mind that they’re in loving, capable hands. I set my own schedule so I can fit in dog walks and drop-ins. Plan the day and service in hour-long slots and certain breaks. I live in a home with two cats, and a yard, shared with two friendly dogs, another cat and chickens, so boarding of a dog who is cat friendly, and friendly with other dogs and animals is possible.

About: I have always loved animals and currently have a pug named Finn, who is a huge part of my life. I previously had two dogs and have had many other pets throughout the years as well. I have some experience pet sitting for friends and family and have also fostered three dogs in the past. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. I am reliable, responsible, and will care for your pets as if they were my own. My schedule is very flexible at the moment, and for the next few weeks I am available every day before I leave for travel and my upcoming move. I am happy to work with your schedule and can accommodate a variety of pet care needs, including drop-in visits and walks. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to maintain their normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. I follow all feeding, exercise, medication, and care instructions carefully and make sure pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages for peace of mind. My goal is to provide reliable, attentive care and make the experience as stress-free as possible for both pets and their owners.
About: Hi, I'm Jenn! Having six years of experience as a vet tech, six years of experience caring for pets professionally, and caring for my personal furry companions animals for over 6o years, I bring an exceptional blend of experience, care, and responsibility to my pet care. I have a huge heart for cats and dogs and love to see them happy in their environment. My sensitive nature allows me to be highly attuned to animals and their needs. Others have often commented on my ability to anticipate the needs of people and animals before they are aware of them. I believe in the health and wellbeing of all living things. When your animal is under my care, you can be assured they are receiving the nurturing and care they deserve. I am available for walking, visits, boarding, and more. Please inquire for your particular needs and desires for your pet in your absence. I would be happy to keep your pet loved and safe while you are away. Injections, special needs, training/rehabilitation I am in a very open and expansive time currently in life. I am widely available round the clock for your pets needs. I am available daytime, evenings, and weekends. I do not have a fenced yard on the property I live on in the country, so when boarding with me, dogs will be on leash when outdoors. They will enjoy the many walks they will have around here. When at your home, I take care of your fur baby and belongs with the utmost respect and safety.
About: Dogs have been my life for as long as I can remember—legend says my first word was “doggy.” I’m currently training to become a dog groomer and hope to one day open my own 501(c) rescue. I have two fur babies at home, including a 130 lb Rottweiler and a special needs Westie-Poodle mix, so I’m very comfortable with both large breeds and extra care needs. I’m currently becoming a dog groomer and have always been fully in my animal era—caring for pets is just part of my daily life. I also have two fur babies at home, including a high-maintenance special needs pet, so I’m very used to giving extra care, patience, and attention. I care for your pet like they’re my own—fed, walked, loved, and spoken to like they understand full human conversations (because I’m pretty sure they do). I follow their routine, respect their personality, and send photo updates so you can see your very important little roommate thriving.
“Celeste is wonderful. We had met and already agreed to a three night pet sit later in the month, and some weekend walks with Duchess so they could get better acquainted before the overnights. Then I sprained my ankle and my wife's lower back went out. Celeste on very short notice stepped up by taking Duchess for unscheduled neighborhood walks so we could rest and recover. Two walks in now and Celeste and Duchess have clearly bonded. Duchess is a totally happy love bucket who thinks every person is her friend, but she responds best to people who are naturally relaxed and comfortable around pups while being the loving person in charge. Celeste checks all those boxes. We are very happy that we have more walks and a pet sit scheduled with Celeste.”

“Tyler is lovely. She is great with communication, reliable, and thoughtful. She sends great updates and is quick to reply to messages. I have a huge dog and she had no trouble with him. I love having Tyler walk my dog and I super super recommend her!”

About: Hi everyone! I’m just starting out on Rover but I’ve been a dog lover since day one. I have experience with dogs both big and small, in urban landscapes and suburban. I am attuned to their varying levels of energy, motivations, and comforts, all of which lets me form a quick bond with them! I’m a full time student at the UC, and work a part time job. Unfortunately, our hours at work were cut so until September, my schedule is relatively light! College dorms and apartments dont exactly have an abundance of dogs so I’ve been lacking in animal love. I hope to get my fill on Rover! My dogs have always been a part of the family, so that’s how I treat them! On my dog walks, I like to let them sniff all they want (but no eating!), I have no problem jogging if they’ve got some zoomies, and above all, I just want them to feel satisfied and ready to rest when they return home. I respect dogs as much as I respect people!
About: I have owned big dogs my whole life. Two labs, a retriever and a Catahoula mix. I have never know my life without a dog in it. Since I was little I would help take care of the dogs. From them being puppies to elderly dogs. I have watched my own dogs as well as others. I have also an accompanied a mobile dog groomer during her work. I helped wash the dogs as well as keep them calm and happy while she worked. I definitely learned A LOT about cleaning up after puppies while working with her. I am currently home for the summer from college and I do not have any other jobs so I have a lot of free time. I available all week except for when I will be out of town. I understand that every dog has different needs. I am fully flexible and willing to work with your dog in whatever way they need. For example, I have helped my dog through her fear of fireworks by wrapping her in a blanket and holding her (a little peanut butter helped too). Or if your dog needs a lot of exercise to stay calm and happy I will run around for hours. I am adaptable to the dog and I can help in whatever way is needed!
