About: I’ve been dog sitting and walking for the last 20 years. I also have my own amazing dog named Batman that loves to play with other dogs. I’m always sending updates to puppy parents and staying in touch to show your pups having a blast. I love to cuddle, play with them and take them on walks. I have my own dog named Batman and we are always on the go. We love to grab pup cups, go on long walks and play with other doggies. I care for them how I would my own dog, with care and love. I’m always updating the parents and sending pictures and videos. You can reach me at all times

About: As a lifelong dog owner and devoted animal lover, I understand that your pets are cherished members of your family. My approach to pet care is centered on providing a calm, nurturing, and personalized experience that helps your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Having cared for dogs throughout my life, I am attentive to each pet’s unique personality, routines, and preferences. Whether your companion enjoys long walks, playtime, quiet companionship, or extra affection, I tailor my care to meet their individual needs and help maintain the consistency they are accustomed to at home. I take pride in creating a stress-free experience for both pets and their owners through reliable communication, thoughtful attention to detail, and genuine compassion. My goal is to provide the highest level of care so you can enjoy complete peace of mind knowing your beloved companion is in caring and capable hands. I look forward to building a trusted relationship with you and providing your pet with the same level of love, respect, and attention I give my own. Pet care is already a natural part of my daily life. I work from home, which allows me to be present and attentive throughout the day. My own dog and I enjoy at least four walks around the neighborhood every day, providing plenty of exercise, fresh air, and enrichment. In addition to our daily walks, we go hiking several times a week, and I have a secure fenced courtyard where pets can safely relax, explore, and enjoy time outdoors in the sunshine. Because I am home-based, I can easily accommodate feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, companionship, and any special routines your pet may have. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and strive to create a calm, loving environment where they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. I care for every pet as if they were my own, with a focus on safety, comfort, routine, and plenty of affection. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, preferences, and daily schedule so they can feel as relaxed and secure as possible while their family is away. In my home, pets receive regular walks, supervised outdoor time in my fenced courtyard, playtime, companionship, and lots of love and attention throughout the day. Because I work from home, I am able to provide a calm presence and ensure pets are not left alone for extended periods. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I strive to maintain their normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, exercise, medication (if needed), and any special instructions. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they can have peace of mind knowing their pet is happy, safe, and well cared for. My goal is always to create a positive, stress-free experience where pets feel loved, comfortable, and cared for, whether they are staying with me or I am caring for them in their own home.

About: $20 OFF on your first booking: CHARME57999 🐾 Hi, my name is Yana👋 I love pets very much. In my childhood, I had 2 dogs and 2 cats, so I have a lot of experience in taking care of them. Currently, I can only take care of cats and would gladly look after them. I spend the whole day at home, so I will have enough time to give attention to your furry friends and take care of them 🙌 My advantage is that I take a maximum of 2 cats, and rarely 3, to give them proper care and attention. I have 2 spacious rooms where the pets can run and play freely. I will also be happy to provide you with photo/video reports, so you don't have to can have peace of mind about your little friends. For your convenience, I have 2 scratching posts, different toys and a litter box.

About: Lifelong pet parent to dogs, cats, fish, birds and hamsters. I also petsit for all my friends and love working with the big two (dogs and cats). I also have 3 years of volunteering experience with the Pasadena Humane Society, where I worked with socializing dogs. I work remotely and have a very flexible schedule. I am available almost any day for walks, feedings, check-ins and overnight boards. I am available most times of day/night as well. No matter which pet I take care of, I act and treat them as if they were my own. Pets can feel vulnerable without their parents and I do my best to ease anxiety for an easier visit.

About: Lifelong pet owner, currently raising two cats. I did in home visits for my neighbors dogs for many years, and am looking for more pet sitting/boarding opportunities! I’m currently unemployed so caring for pets would be my full time gig. I do leave the house twice a day to commute my partner to and from work. I have a gate that separates my apartment in half; it’s in the middle hallway that connects the bedrooms to the main living area. Should the pets need a separate space, I can provide that for them! We also have lots of cat toys/activities and treats we can provide to them.

About: Hi! I’m Abbie and I can’t wait to meet your angels! I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life and was a dog mom of three until recently my last soul dog passed away in February. All of my dogs have lasted until they were 15 - one of them lasting until she was 19 years old so I am very familiar + comfortable with older dogs. Opening to walking, playing, feeding, or even just visiting your dogs! Whatever is needed :) I’m currently unemployed so have a lot of free time and a very flexible schedule! There are some weeks I will be unavailable/traveling, but I will make sure that’s updated on my schedule! I have a fenced in back yard if you need your dog to come stay at my house for a little while you are gone. I don’t have any pets in the house so they will get all of the love + attention!

About: Growing up in a house full of dogs, I guess I picked up a few tricks along the way. My friends joke that I’m the “dog whisperer,” but honestly, it’s more like I’m their unpaid therapist. Most dogs and I vibe right away, like we’ve got some unspoken connection. Even the cautious ones usually come around pretty quickly.. maybe it’s the good vibes..? Maybe it’s the good treats..? Either way, mi casa, their casa. 🏠🐶 Now that I’m pursuing music full time, my schedule is much more flexible! I work from home during the week and usually keep my weekends open, so I can be fully attentive and available for your pup whenever they need me. 🫡 I prioritize being present with your pets at all times to ensure their safety and provide them with a home-like sense of security, knowing they have a trusted friend by their side. 🐾 🤝

About: *After 6 months of being off the Rover, I am excited to have returned as of Feb 2022! I am incredibly excited to work with you all! Feel free to reach out with any questions. About my experiences, I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life. Big dogs, small dogs, and everything in between. I really just enjoy working with them, even the most difficult of dogs. Happy to help train, walk, and give meds to dogs, cats, or whatever pets you may have. Just enjoy being around animals and happy to help anyone who my need me! I’m extremely flexible. I have minimal commitments right now so I should be able to tend to your pet with ease. I am, for the most part, always available! Along with that, I am happy to provide leash(es) if needed! Furthermore, I can always bring your pup a treat if approved by you! At the moment, unfortunately, I am unable to watch any pets at my house. However, I am happy to sit at your home and walk any of your pets! When my home is available, I live just 5 miles from the airport! My family members are huge dog lovers. And with two dogs of my own, yours will undoubtedly get plenty of exercise while making new friends. I have a crate available if needed and a large yard.

About: I have had multiple pets from a very young age, and learning how to care for pets was a big part of my life. I specialize in high-energy breeds, but enjoy spending time with any type of animal. I work a remote job, so the entirety of my day can be focused on animals! I’m very big on consistency and reliability, so bathroom breaks and ample walking time are never things that bother me. I’d like to think the pets I’ve boarded have had a luxury experience. I am super thorough and attentive, and love spending time with pets of all shapes and sizes.

We've hired Vanesa to walk our 2 girls, and she's also done a couple of drop-in visits. Vanesa is wonderful to work with and has become our go-to person when we need some help with the girls. We have a 120 lb Saint Bernard and a border collie mix and she's great with both. She's very responsive and gives regular updates. She follows directions when doing the drop-ins, even when we unexpectedly have to change things up last minute. She's very flexible and understanding, just a joy to work with! The dogs love her and they're looking forward to their next walk with her!

I reached out around 8:30 at night looking for a last minute walk, and he responded right away and was able to come that same evening. He showed up on time, was really friendly, and did a great job with my anxious dog. I was a little worried since my dog has been having a hard time lately, but he was so patient with him.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
