“I am a nurse who works random days/hours and Irina has been wonderful with accommodating to my busy schedule. She is always available to walk my dog when I need her. She is very reliable and consistent and I’m so grateful I found her! Highly recommend.”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind and size since I was a child. My family always had dogs growing up, and I’ve been the go-to pet sitter for neighbors, friends, and family ever since. I currently have my own 5 year old Cavapoo, so I understand the needs of both small and large breeds, from high energy pups to laid back seniors. I treat every dog I watch like my own, with lots of attention, exercise, and affection. I’d love to have the honor of taking care of your lovely doggos! I have a flexible schedule (since I work remotely!) that allows me to give your dog plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and boarding at your home, and I make sure every dog gets regular exercise, playtime, and companionship. I’m happy to accommodate specific feeding times, or routines your pup is used to at home. I’m attentive, responsible, and treat your home and pets with the same care and respect I’d want for my own. During overnight stays, walks, and drop-ins, I follow your routines closely, including feeding schedules and house rules. I provide care in your home, so your dog stays in their familiar, comfortable environment with no added stress from travel or new surroundings.
“Very kind and caring walkers. Ricky had no issues with them, so they must be good people. Mom said Ricky was super happy for an hour after the walk then just slept for the rest of the night- perfect. Thanks”

“Lauren has walked our boy Bruno for a few weeks now, she is on time, happy to be with our dog and sends photos!! She is a great dog walker and Bruno is so excited to see her when she comes!!”

About: I used to raise a corgi and have 4 years of experience caring for both dogs and cats. I often help friends with walking, feeding, and checking in on their pets, so I’m very comfortable with different sizes and personalities. I’m patient, gentle, and treat every pet like my own. I always pay close attention to their safety, routines, and comfort. I currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule for pet care. I’m available most weekdays and weekends for dog walks and drop in visits. I always plan my day so your pet can get consistent attention and care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always follow your instructions closely and keep your pet’s routine steady. I pay attention to safety, make sure doors stay securely closed, and give updates with photos during every visit so you can feel confident and informed.
“Rachel is wonderful - we highly recommend! We booked walking services by Rachel and will continue to, as she has a great demeanor; calm and relaxed yet assertive and warm. She’s knowledgeable and sends great, detailed updates and uses the Rover card each time. We’ll definitely be booking her services again!”


About: I’ve been raised around animals of all kinds since I can remember, my mother regularly raised foster kittens and we had foster dogs constantly in and out of the house. I currently still foster dogs and kittens on my own and am the go to sitter for all my friends and family. Spent years volunteering at shelters and rescues and also worked at a pet store for over a year. Also lover of small critters being a mom of fish, frogs, a hamster, and a spider. I currently work from home selling artwork and crafts so I’m very flexible with my schedule. I can stay all day or even over night and make sure to keep your pet company. I’m an avid hiker so I’d be more than happy to take your dog for a long hike (with permission obviously) or shorter walks around the neighborhood. I would only need to leave for short errands and to feed my own pets if my partner is unable to do so, but majority of time is dedicated to your Pets in your home. I’ve worked with animals of all ages and personalities and can accommodate any special needs your pet may have. If they are shy and need time to warm up, I will do all I can to gain their trust. If they need specialty food or medication, I have my own cats on a strict medication schedule so I’m more than used to it. If they are high energy and need lots of exercise I will make sure to get them up and running around as much as they need. I just want to make sure their lives are just as comfortable as when you are home with them.

About: Hello! And welcome to my page! I go by CeCe! I am grown and raised in beautiful sunny Santa Barbara! I now reside in the lovely sunny Orange County! I’ve been around animals all my life. From my mom having the best border collie when I was a baby, to us having two cats, a bunny, and at least one parakeet in an apartment that i grew up in during most of my childhood to teen years. It was even my dream to get a job working at my local zoo as an actor, which eventually came true. All so I could be surrounded by animals, and say I worked with Dinosaurs too (I even acted with them)! When I moved out of my childhood home I unfortunately could only find affordable places to live that didn’t allow animals. That’s how I got into dog sitting! I loved being around animals and helping others take care of their fluffy family members. I now live with my significant other whose family cat is king of the house. I still enjoy walking dogs and house sitting. I do, unfortunately, work a 9 to 5 office job Monday to Friday (actually 8 to 4) to pay the bills. Because of this my rates reflect that. I wish I could pet sit all the time but for now this is my second job. I will treat your house as my own with a cleanly manner. I have my own form of transportation in the form of a vehicle with four wheels so any adventurous pups I am able to accommodate! I work an 8hr office job Monday to Friday. Sometimes a Saturday or Sunday if I happened to miss a day during the week due to life. It is adjustable and willing to accommodate with enough prior notice. Any lunch drop ins will need to be discussed. Because of previous experiences drop ins will need to be agreed upon by both parties and throughly planned. I am uncomfortable with cameras inside the home that are not made aware of during meet and greet. I am okay with cameras outside the home and understand the safety concerns of having them. I do not abide by using them to track movements of caregivers. I have an office job Monday to Friday, sometimes I have to make up hours on a weekend day because of other adult responsibilities during the week coinciding with other adult responsibilities such as work. I typically work 8hrs with a lunch break that can be up to an hour. I also have a partner and a home to help run. I have errands to take care of after work and on days off, like weekends. That being said I will do everything in my power to put your pet first, but I will not ignore my health.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, so caring for them comes naturally to me. I genuinely love spending time with dogs and understand their different personalities, walking habits, and needs. I always prioritize their safety and comfort by bringing water on walks, choosing shaded routes or grassy areas when it’s hot to protect their paws, and letting them stop to sniff and explore—because walks should be enjoyable, not just exercise! You can count on me to treat your dog with the same care, patience, and attention I’d give my own. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide consistent, reliable walks throughout the week. I make sure every dog gets the exercise, attention, and pace that’s right for them while keeping their safety and comfort a priority. I tailor each walk to the individual dog, paying attention to their energy level, personality, and comfort. I’m patient and attentive throughout the walk, allowing them time to explore and enjoy themselves while keeping them safe and under control.
About: I’ve had two dogs while going to school! I got them both when they were babies and played, took care of them, and treated them well. I am working part-time remotely so I have a lot of time and flexibility to take care of your pets! I also have a car so I can go pretty much anywhere if needed. I have many walkable areas where I can treat your pet to some fun and exercise to get them out of the house and tired enough to sleep comfortably later that night !
“Highly recommend Randi! She is professional, punctual, and provenherself to be trustworthy. She took the time to genuinely understand my dog's needs and they hit it off immediately. She gave my dog a fantastic walk and even spent time playing ball. Excellent service all around. We will definitely be rebooking.”

“I had an amazing first experience with Rover thanks to Bridget. She arrived early and was so great with my dog, Luna. Bridget was attentive, caring, and made sure Luna was well taken care of. I highly recommend her and will definitely book with her again!”

About: I have lived with dogs for as long as I can remember. I have been responsible for caring for both my own family dogs and neighborhood fur babies for well over a decade. I currently have an 8 year old German shepherd and have owned a wide variety of dogs over the years. I am comfortable carding for dogs of all ages and breeds. I have successfully potty trained puppies and cared for senior pups. I love and am comfortable handling dogs of all sizes and feel safe with any breed your fur baby may be!! I am currently working a part-time remote job, so I am able to make my own schedule to spend time with your fur baby. Let me know your pets daily schedule and I will be happy to help! I can walk your pets, cuddle with them, or crate them! I have experience walking both small and large dogs. I am comfortable in homes with dogs and cats.
About: I have been dog sitting for several years now and I have 2 dogs of my own which both started as puppies so I know how much attention they need. I absolutely love animals and I find joy in spending time with them so I’ll make sure they get all the attention they need. I’m currently home from college for the summer so my schedule is pretty free and I’m able to watch ur pets anytime during the week I have a fenced yard in my own home and take out my dogs whenever they need as well as provide them plenty of attention. In your home I’ll make sure to be respectful of your rules as well as give your pets whatever they need.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover and educator with a flexible schedule on weekends, holidays, and during the summer. Caring for dogs has always been a passion of mine, and I love providing them with personalized attention, plenty of affection, and a safe, caring environment while you’re away. I have open availability on weekends and holidays, and my schedule is very flexible throughout the summer. I also welcome last-minute booking requests whenever my availability allows. Whether your pup needs a potty break, playtime, feeding, a walk, or simply some extra love while you’re away, I’m here to provide personalized care based on their unique routine and needs. I treat every dog as if they were my own and always take the time to learn their personality, preferences, and any special instructions to ensure they feel comfortable and cared for. For all first-time walk and drop-in bookings, a meet and greet is required to ensure we’re a great match and that your pup feels comfortable with me before services begin. For everyone’s safety, I only accept dogs that are current on their vaccinations.

About: Growing up, I've cared for 3 family dogs, 7 cats, 5 tortoises, and 2 cockatiels. I've been a sitter for many cats and dogs since age 14. I have 3 cats now and they're my world! I would love to meet your sweet fur babies to take them out to enjoy the sun, get some exercise and get lots of pets and love! I've taken care of dogs as small as Chihuahuas and as large as a St. Bernard. My dream in life is to open my own animal sanctuary one day. I've been sitting on rover for over a year now, and I love it! So far it's been a great experience, getting to meet lots of new furbabies! I love to take lots of photos of your babies, and am very communicative during my visits. I will follow any and all directions for each visit as I understand each family has different needs. I work 40 hours per week but 'm pretty flexible. You can send me a message about my availability on which days you need me and I will respond asap. I usually respond immediately.

One of my boys likes to go on walks everyday with a leash, he's basically a dog!

About: Hi! I’m Nadia — lifelong dog lover, professional belly-rub provider, and the person who will absolutely say hi to your dog before saying hi to you. 🐶 I grew up with dogs and genuinely can’t imagine life without them. To me, dogs aren’t just pets — they’re family members with very strong opinions about dinner time, walking routes, and exactly how much space they deserve on the couch (usually all of it). I’m the type of person who will happily go on a long walk, play fetch for the 47th time, have a full conversation with your dog like they understand every word, or spend the afternoon cuddling on the couch if that’s more their speed. I love getting to know each dog’s little personality and quirks — whether they’re a social butterfly, professional napper, chaotic ball of energy, or a distinguished senior who simply wants snacks and peace ☺️ I’m also a newly minted Pediatrician, so being responsible, attentive to details, and staying calm when something seems off comes naturally to me. I’m comfortable following specific routines, giving medications, and caring for older dogs or pups who need a little extra TLC. Most importantly, I know how nerve-wracking it can be to leave your dog with someone else. I’ll treat your pup like I’d want someone to treat my own: lots of love, attention, patience, and probably an unreasonable number of photos sent to you throughout the day! 📸🐾 I am available to take care of your fur babies at different times pending my hospital schedule. Hours available will depend on my work schedule! Caring for your fur babies will depend on your own environment and your needs. I will always cater to your needs and your fur babies needs!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since high school from walks, check-ins, and overnights 🐶💕 I am looking forward to learning about and caring for your dogs 🐩 Please reach out to me with your requests and questions! I am currently working part time so I have a pretty flexible schedule! My schedule can vary by week so I am happy to communicate and find a time that works for everyone. Whether my home or yours, I am vigilant and detail-oriented to ensure the safety and care of all animals’ health, well-being, and happiness. Please feel free to ask any questions.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Shady Canyon
We couldn’t be happier with our experience! Bailey is an anxious and reactive dog, so finding someone who can confidently handle her isn’t easy. She was incredibly patient, calm, and knew exactly how to work with Bailey, making the walk go smoothly without any issues. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Bailey was in such capable hands. We would absolutely love to have her as Bailey’s regular walker and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who truly understands dogs with special behavioral needs.

It was my first time using Rover for my pet, Cory, and I truly appreciated the experience. Everything went exactly as I expected. Solmaz was on time and very kind to Cory. Even though it was the first time Cory met her, he immediately felt comfortable with her, listened to her instructions, and clearly enjoyed being around her. She also kindly gave Cory a complimentary wash, which was a very thoughtful gesture. I really appreciate her care and professionalism, and I would definitely recommend Solmaz.

We feel so lucky to have found her! She is truly meant to be a dog walker. You can feel her passion and kindness immediately. She took such great care of Laidy and made sure she got a proper run and lots of love. She’s responsible, communicative, and genuinely cares. We absolutely trust her and would book her again without hesitation. Highly recommend!

Polina is a dream come true! I needed a dog walker last minute and she responded to my request immediately and was able to come over the next day for a meet and greet. Oliver, our Frenchie, goes nuts when people come to the door, especially strangers. But Polina seemed to be a dog whisperer, as Oliver barked only a couple of times, and she immediately knelt down and snuggled him. He absolutely adored her! We spent 20 minutes chatting about his specific needs and habits during his walks, and I hired her on the spot to take him for his 30 minute walk. I received a video during the walk, and upon return, she talked with me about how the walk went and mutually agreed she would be our dog walker for all future walks. I can't find the words for how comforted I was knowing Oliver adored her and trusted her. She told me that this job (she does this full time - including pet sitting) is a dream come true for her as she is an avid animal lover but can't have animals where she lives. I highly recommend Polina to care for your pets. Don't hesitate...she's the real deal!!
