“Kind, communicative, & excellent with my chaotic boy. I'm a firm believer that you can usually tell if someone is not a great person by how dogs respond to them. My dog IMMEDIATELY went up to her and was SOOO excited for her attention! She also got a solid walk in during the time frame! Definitely recommend.”
About: Hi! I'm a passionate and attentive pet caregiver with 5+ years of personal experience and 1 year of professional dog-sitting under my belt. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and energy levels—from high-energy pups who love a good run, to mellow seniors who just want a snuggle buddy. One of my own dogs experiences focal seizures, so I’m very familiar with providing calm, capable care in medical situations. I’m also experienced with administering medications (pills, drops, etc.) and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable during the process. My dog Mr. Peanutbutter has had bad experiences with larger dogs so I understand pups who need a little extra care with anxiety. I’ve worked with a variety of animals, including ducks, and I’d be happy to check in on other pets (like cats, birds, or small animals) or care for your plants while you’re away. Whether your pet needs a quick drop-in, an energetic walk, or overnight care, I bring patience, responsibility, and plenty of love to every visit. I treat every animal like they’re my own—and I can’t wait to meet yours! Pet care is my passion and my full time focus while saving up for higher education. Pet care is what I'm focused on when not studying. I only have late night class for 2 hours 1 night a week and at home studying so I have much time to focus on specific needs. My home has a fenced yard with plenty of space to run and and play with a patio area and another fenced off pool area.
About: Hi, I'm Estefany! Thank you for considering me to care for your furry family member. I've been a dog lover my entire life and have been caring for dogs since I was young. From raising my own dogs to pet sitting for family and friends, I've always enjoyed giving dogs the love, attention, and care they deserve. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I'm committed to making them feel safe, comfortable, and right at home. I currently offer: 🐶 Boarding 🐶 Doggy Day Care 🐶 House Sitting 🐶 Drop-In Visits 🐶 Dog Walking My home in Armona has a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely run, play, and enjoy plenty of outdoor time. Whether your pup loves long walks, playing fetch, or simply relaxing with lots of belly rubs, I'll make sure they receive personalized care and plenty of attention. I don't currently have dogs of my own, which allows me to focus completely on the pets in my care. I do have young children who love animals and have been taught to be gentle and respectful around them. For everyone's safety, all interactions between children and pets are closely supervised, and I only accept dogs that are comfortable in a family environment. As someone with NAS Lemoore base access, I'm proud to support military families and understand that changing schedules, deployments, training, and travel can make finding dependable pet care challenging. My goal is to provide reliable, flexible care you can count on. Communication is very important to me. While you're away, I'll send regular photo and video updates so you can see your pup having fun, relaxing, and receiving the love and attention they deserve. I would love the opportunity to meet you and your best friend! I look forward to providing a safe, loving, and fun home away from home where your dog will be treated like family. I can't wait to meet you both! 🐾❤️ I will provide the best outdoor time for my waggin' clients to release energy and provide an unbelievable experience every time we go out for walks and or for potty breaks. I will care and provide the best quality care for each of my waggin' clients! I will provide a safe, trustworthy and welcoming environment to accommodate all of their waggin' needs to feel Pawsome at home !
About: Hello, my name is Zoey and I am 22 years old. A little bit about me is I love children and pets alike and will treat both the same. I’m aspiring to become an elementary school teacher and I have a 6 year old daughter and a 10 month old babygirl! I have always been around animals growing up, I had 6 dogs in my house growing up and my grandma was a crazy cat lady who constantly had strays hanging around. I have one cat named Mainfluff who is as gentle as a baby but he mostly stays outside. I also have a male golden retriever pup named Moose and a female doberman pup named Ash! I will love your pet (s) as if they were my own! I am a mother to a 6 year old girl and a 10 month old babygirl. I work at a school so I leave the house at around 7:30 a.m most days and get home around 3-4 p.m. My husband works full time but has about 2 days off each week so those days he’d be home all day. I love animals and based on your pet and their needs, I will adapt to meet them. I am completely okay with walks, outside time, park visits, car rides, baths, etc. I will play with them as much as you or they want and I am perfectly fine with cuddling on them as if they were mine!

“We were in town to visit the National Parks and Kendra did an incredible job with our skittish dog. She was able to build trust quickly and get her the exercise she needed. I appreciate her patience and professionalism. 10/10 would recommend to anyone who may be passing through and needing someone trustworthy!”
About: I’ve been dog sitting & providing services for over 10 years now! For 5+ years I’ve dog sat Gracie the pit bull (see photos) as her father is always traveling for work for extended periods of time prior to coming back to this platform. I would dog sit on multiple occasions for weeks or months at a time, therefore I'm comfortable working extended periods of time with multiple animals. I treat every animal as if they were my own so I understand on a personal note how sentimental they mean to their owners! I pride myself in my patience & professionalism. I carry myself with a lot of compassion & empathy however, which is why I wanted to begin working & applying more of my time with animals again! Complete availability Monday through Friday, I’m open between 7:30am-10:30pm for any doggie daycare needs, dog walking or drop ins! Very easy going & willing to do weekends for repeated clients! ❤️ I currently have a huge fenced backyard & will always make sure they’re monitored.

About: Hi, my name is Jenn! I've grown up around animals my entire life. When I am not pet sitting, I foster both cats and dogs, which has given me experience working with senior pets, puppies, kittens, and animals that need extra patience and support. I believe pet care goes beyond basic needs. I take the time to ensure pets feel safe, mentally stimulated, and comfortable. Whether that means positive reinforcement training, enriching play, and giving them extra affection.

I am available to board pets during the weekdays and weekends. I can accommodate various schedules for people who are vacationing or need a dog walker. I strive to create a calm and fun environment for your pet. Currently, there are no children in my home which allows for a quieter more relaxed setting for pets who may need extra comfort or routine. In my home, I have plenty of space for your pet's needs. I have one dog and two cats that are friendly with other dogs and cats. However, I can also accommodate an additional room or a separate area for your pet. Simply share your preference, and I can accommodate it.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Shirley
Zoie was wonderful! She was prompt, friendly, and very attentive to my dogs. I booked a 30-minute walk, but she noticed that my senior dogs were already tired after about 15 minutes due to the heat. She reached out right away to check in and thoughtfully recommended taking them home rather than pushing them past their comfort level. I really appreciated her communication and genuine care for my dogs’ well-being. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Shirley. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins.

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
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.
