Lauren is the best! She’s very responsible, kind, and prompt with her services. My cat loves her visits and I know he’s in trusted hands when I’m out of town. I’m so thankful that I found Lauren on Rover!

About: I have specific skills in fostering kittens, working with senior dogs and caring for them overnight, walking energetic and crazy dogs, and training with puppies. I can squeeze pet care into my schedule whenever. I am pretty flexible in schedule and am willing to work with you for whatever you need. In my home, I do not have pets because I live in a studio. At other people's homes I like to have a detailed written list of where everything can be found and what certain routines and schedules look like.

Makayla is a wonderful sitter. She’s so patient with my cat and makes sure he’s comfortable. My boy doesn’t warm up to new people well and she lets him manage that by giving him space when he needs it and continues with the routine that he is used to. I would definitely request her help in the future.

Terra was great. She understood my cat needed space while I was away and adhered to all of my requests. I was not able to do a meet and greet and she stepped in without an issue by talking it over on the phone. She made me feel comfortable leaving my baby with her. I’d recommend her and hire her again.

Melanie did some drop-in visits with our cat. She was excellent and I highly recommend. It was our first scheduling and she made time on short notice to do a meet and greet before a holiday weekend. She sent great updates and photos each day. All around very professional and will be scheduling again in the future

About: As a massage therapist for over 25 years, I have worked on horses and dogs as well as people. I include FREE therapeutic massage to pets I care for. I've always had a dog and have been very honored to work with and care for dogs. I have owned and worked with dominant breed dogs, sharing with their owners how to support best behavior when asked. I understand canine psychology and genuinely love dogs. I am currently 'on-call' to work Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays from 10 am to 6 pm. I limit this to 3 massages per day, so I'm not gone all day. Other than that I am available for your dog(s). I am an avid hiker/ walker and I'm up early. I have a calm presence which puts animals at ease, yet I understand how to manage challenging behaviors. I walk dogs early and usually twice a day. I maintain awareness and listen for signs to take them outside to go potty or walk, allowing them to sniff around. Once dogs realize I'm a 'pack leader' they usually feel more safe and challenges disappear. Right now I am not able to have a dog in my home. Thank you for sharing your fur-baby with me while you are away.

About: Safe house, attentive company, and dependable care giver with professional husbandry, pet sitting, behavior, and veterinary experience to tend to your Best Bud when life calls. Confident, compassionate care for senior and special-needs dogs. Plenty of playtime and exercise to tire out high-energy pups. Engaging, creative enrichment to keep every mind happy and active. Professional Ecologist with wildlife handling, husbandry, and behavior experience. 6 years Professional Veterinary Technician experience at local veterinary hospital. 2 years volunteering at local animal shelter. 30-year Pet Owner. Forever Animal Lover! Pet care naturally fits my daily rhythm—I’m home managing kids and household, so feeding, walks, playtime, and affection easily blend into my weekday routine. I'm home most of the day but may step out of the house a few times a day for 20 min-1.5 hours, for school pick ups or a quick work out. Your pup can come along for the walk/ride or stay safely kenneled until my immediate return. I can pick up Dogs in the Live Oak Neighborhood for Doggie Day Care between 8:30-11am. Weekend availability is more variable depending on what the family plans are. Your pup will enjoy a calm, structured, and caring environment within our family home on a quiet, low-traffic street in a popular walking neighborhood. With a secure courtyard and a spacious, private backyard for play, enrichment, and relaxation, your dog will have plenty of safe space to explore. Boarding pups generally have access to the house with lights out from about 9 pm to 6 am, and a potty walks right before bed and first thing in the morning while my coffee brews. Your pup can count on at least an hour of daily exercise—often more—and will be fed according to your established routine, with fresh water always available. When I’m home, pups are free to roam the house and enclosed courtyard, enjoying companionship and comfort alongside me.

About: My household has been full of dogs since I was young, and I grew up bathing, feeding, and walking dogs of a variety of sizes and ages. My experience encompasses a wide range of sizes from boxers to golden doodles, as well as all ages from under 1 year to senior. I am well versed in medication schedules of many types for any age, senior care, and vet checkups. I have a flexible schedule so it is easy for me to coordinate and adjust for each unique situation. Unfortunately I am not available for boarding as I have my own full household of pets, however I am available for house sitting every night of the week outside of Fridays. I am available for drop-in visits and dog walking after 12pm Sat-Thurs, and after 2pm on Fridays. I have a fenced in backyard in which my dogs are never left unattended due to various reasons such as environmental allergies and hazards such as extreme sun exposure. If there is no fenced in environment, all outside play or activity will need to be leashed due to the California leash law.

About: Caring for pets has always been more than just a job for me—it's a passion. Over the years, I’ve gained hands-on experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. From playful puppies learning their first commands to senior dogs needing extra patience and care, I understand the unique attention each stage of life requires. What sets me apart from other sitters is my personalized approach. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, preferences, and routine so they feel safe and comfortable in my care. I’m experienced with basic puppy training, leash manners, and crate training. For older pets, I provide gentle, attentive support—whether that means administering medication, helping with mobility, or simply offering lots of love and companionship. I believe communication is key, so I always keep pet parents updated with photos and notes to ensure peace of mind while you're away. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I work in IT from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to be available throughout the day for pet care. Whether it’s regular walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping your pet company, I can easily fit their needs into my daily routine. When caring for pets in your home, I treat your space—and your pet—with the same respect and attention I give my own. I follow your routines closely, whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, medication, or house rules, to keep your dog comfortable and stress-free. I understand how important trust is when someone enters your home, and I always communicate clearly, keep things tidy, and send regular updates so you feel at ease while you're away. Your pet’s safety and comfort come first. I pay close attention to their behavior and needs, and I’m happy to accommodate special requests or routines to help them feel secure. Whether your dog needs quiet companionship, active playtime, or just a calm presence while you're gone, I provide reliable, loving care every time.

About: I’ve grown up around my dogs and cats my whole life! I have a border collie who has endless energy and keeps me on the go with beach trips, walks, and training. I also love watching my friends and neighbors animals when they’re away on trips! I am an educator that is currently break with very open and flexible availability. I love to go for long walks to the beach and around town. Your dog would be a great companion on my daily walks and adventures! I prefer to pet sit in my clients home because I find it’s the most comfortable option for your dog or cat. Depending on your animals needs, I always take my clients dogs out for daily walks and prefer to spend as much time with them as I can while you are away.

Makayla was a great sitter. She sent me pictures which really helped me while I was out of town. She gave my cat the space he needed and he felt very comfortable going about his routine with her. He had 3 times a day feedings with special instructions to open windows for him and let him go on my porch when she got there so he can eat grass and get a little fresh air. She followed them all to make my boy as comfortable as can be. My recommendation is to definitely hire her if she’s available. Thank you Makayla!
