“This was our first time using Rover and Dayana was wonderful to work with! She took Suki for two walks a day for 9 days and we appreciated her getting the exercise....she slept good at night. The Rover Card for each walk was an unexpected touch that was appreciated. I didn't realize how comforting it would be getting the text with a map of each walk and update on bathroom habits would be. I would gladly hire Dayana any time I need a dog walker in the future.”


About: Hello! My name is Katherine and my experience with animals has ranged from volunteering to in home sitting. I am so excited to offer my services and meet your furry friends. Not only do I love meeting new breeds, but I care about their health and wellbeing. My weekly visits to my local animal shelter gives me a chance to showcase my passion for helping dogs who lost their homes. My volunteer experience includes walking, feeding, and caring for various breeds of all sizes! These visits have made me familiar with a dog’s body language that may signal how they are feeling. We meet many new dogs each week that are new to this environment and may be very nervous and timid. This also has given me a chance to learn how I can gain a dog’s trust with friendly mannerisms. I can’t wait to get started on Rover and meet your furry little friends! I have recently graduated with a bachelors degree from college and am looking for opportunities to spend time with animals. Currently, I have a part-time job and have lots of time to care for and visit any animals needing company throughout the week. My dog at home gets daily walks and has a runner in my backyard for when she needs to go outside. I often give her treats when she is being a good girl and notice if she needs to use the bathroom outside. At my local shelter, I am able to feed large and small dogs and leash dogs who are unfamiliar with me. I tend to make sure my posture and manners are friendly with all the pups! I also make sure to notice when a dog needs praising and do not ignore their good behavior!

“Ben has been great with our new puppy! He’s very patient, and was able to take the time to get our puppy to warm up to him. He’s also very punctual and professional. We’ll defiantly be using Ben in the future!”


About: I’m available for home visits with dogs and cats, dog walking, and occasional house sitting. I have two wonderful dogs and grew up with cats—I truly adore animals and love spending time with them! I can take your pets for walks or jogs, change litter, feed them, and give them plenty of care and attention. I’m reliable, friendly, communicative, and very responsive. As a Berkeley Law student, I have a relatively flexible schedule that allows me to watch pets on both weekdays and weekends, in the mornings, afternoons, or evenings. I provide attentive, loving care—feeding, walking or running with dogs, changing kitty litter or picking up after dogs, and ensuring pets feel safe, comfortable, and happy in their familiar environment.

“To put it simply- Bonnie is the BEST! She is so reliable and is great to communicate with. She truly loves animals and we know our pup is always in good hands. We are SO thankful for her care!!”


“Jasmine was so lovely and sweet with our pup Sierra. She was reliable and on time for her walks and sent us lots of photos and videos. It is obvious that she has a passion for caring for animals. Would definitely recommend.”


About: We are a trio (Riven, Matt, Jason) that have mostly work from home schedules. We have individual Rover verified profiles, and this one is Rivens. I have lived with cats, dogs, and animals of all sorts my whole life. After growing up on a farm and being a founding member of the local 4H Club, my love for animals continued to fostering through rescues, volunteering, and my own pets such as my now passed 17 year cat named Moya, whom I had had since she was a few months old. For dogs, I am very active, and will love taking your furry family on long trails, swims, or dog parks! We around a lot of dogs over the course of the week, so we are unable to on any dogs that will not do well with others for more than an over night. If you have feline family, I am happy to play with crinkle balls, laser pointers, or be a lap as needed. For boarding, my Matt and Jason (also on Rover) and myself are home 95% of the day and can usually accommodate most pick up or drop off time, frequent potty breaks, and walks. For drop in visits we are avaliable to work in the Shirely and immediately surounding area. We have some flexibility with the schedule that we can work out if you're interested! We offer lots of human and other dog socialization in our home. We have people and dogs visitors in home as well as on walks to parks and rivers.

“Ella was so wonderful with Mabel, who is still a puppy. She was able to watch her for an hour for me while I was at the dentist and greatly appreciated the support! They had a great time playing and look forward to their next visit! :)”


About: Hi, I’m Shara! I’m in grad school to be a Nurse Midwife, and love going on walk breaks… so I’m on the search for a walking budding (hopefully with your furry friend). I’ve spent time dog sitting and doing overnight stays, and I enjoy getting outside for walks, playtime, and tail wags. Whether your young pup is full of energy or your older pup likes slow walks under the shade, I’m happy to match their pace (and personality!). With my caregiving background, I’m comfortable handling any medications or special care needs your dog might have. If you have any house rules/training you would like me to maintain, then I’d love to enforce them. It’s important to trust the person caring for your pet, and I take that responsibility seriously, please let me know how I can best take care of your pet and have fun along the way! I’m in grad school now and taking online classes for the summer, that means my hours are very flexible as I’ve stopped working my nursing job full time. If given enough notice I can make myself available for boarding or sitting, because having a furry study buddy makes things better! In my home, we do not have a fence but a big backyard on almost an acre of land. My family and I love being outside and taking our daily walks. We’ve taken care of family friends pets at our home, and now expanding to Rover.

Christina A.
“My granddaughter, Charlotte, who will be providing pet service with the help and supervision of her mother, Christina, would be a wonderful pet caregiver. From the time she was 3 years old, Charlotte had a great fondness for not only my cats and dog, but also for my (local animal shelter) foster kittens. From such a young age she always wanted to walk my dog, Copper, on a leash and teach him commands. She loved feeding the cats and foster kittens and always took great pride in scooping their litter boxes!! She would spend as much time as possible playing with and caring for my numerous litters of foster kittens. She was very thorough and responsible in helping me with their feedings and socializations. Now that she's older, whenever she comes for a visit, she loves to do adorable photo shoots of them and is always very sweet and gentle when posing them, still helping me with the "chores "and socialization. She's a true animal lover and one that can be trusted to provide the best of care for people's beloved pets.”
