“Hayden was so awesome! Our dog is extremely excitable, a leash puller and loves to find ground snacks - Hayden was incredibly attentive and experienced with him. Thank you so much!”


“Nathan has been walking my dogs twice weekly for a few months, and I’ve been really happy with their service. They’re reliable, always show up on time, and are easy to communicate with. My dogs gets excited every time Nathan comes to walk them, which says a lot. Nathan clearly knows how to handle dogs and seems very comfortable with them. It’s been a huge help having someone I can count on and trust with my pet. I would definitely recommend Nathan if you’re looking for someone dependable and good with dogs.”


“Robert was a joy to work with! He was very kind and attentive to everything, setting up a meet and greet prior and giving the walk a small test, while listening to my lengthy info about my pup 😂 He also sent descriptive updates with pictures! I will definitely be rebooking Robert in the future. Thank you, Robert!”


“Maddie was super flexible and took my dog, sage on a very long walk. I could tell sage was comfortable with Maddie and she got a lot of energy out on their walk. Maddie arrived on time and was prepared, would book again in the future!”


“Maja is very communicative and responsible! She’s also so caring with our pup. We have a large (and rowdy!) boxer-pit mix, and she’s so great with him. She’s calm, and knows how to handle high energy dogs. You can tell she genuinely cares about animals and has a knack with them. 10/10 recommend!!!”


“Quick response. Met with us and the dogs the following day. Came in when expected. Dogs were walked and happy when we came home. We got pics and a description of their walk. Recommend 100%!”

About: As an experienced pet lover and caregiver, I've had the joy of caring for a wide variety of pets, including cats, birds, fish, and reptiles. With years of hands-on experience in pet care, from walking dogs and house-sitting to babysitting animals, I'm comfortable providing drop-in visits and personalized care for your furry (or scaly!) friends. I’ve also gained valuable animal research skills while earning my Master’s in Biology, ensuring your pets are in safe and knowledgeable hands. Whether it's a casual walk or specialized attention, I’m here to make sure your pets are happy and well cared for. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine as I’m currently taking a gap period from my biology career. During this time, I'm excited to focus on my passion for animals and give them the love and attention they deserve. Caring for pets allows me to stay connected to my interest in animal biology while offering flexible, fulfilling work. I love incorporating pet walks, check-ins, and caregiving into my week, providing dedicated time to ensure each animal is happy and healthy. When caring for pets in my home, I ensure they have a calm, quiet environment since I live in an apartment with no other pets. There's also a yard for safe outdoor time, perfect for supervised play and relaxation. In clients' homes, I follow their specific routines and preferences to make sure their pets feel comfortable and secure. Whether it’s administering medication, providing walks, or giving them attention, I tailor my care to meet each pet’s individual needs.

“Sarah took my large golden doodle Finnegan for weekly walks over the last seven months. She was always professional and easy to work with. Finnegan loved his walks with her. I look forward to working with her again in the future. Thank you so much, Sarah!”


About: I have lived with dogs for most of my life and have been pet and house sitting for the past two years. I really enjoy being around animals and have experience in building trust with more anxious or 'difficult' dogs. I work about 35 hours a week at a sandwich shop (animals love to smell me when I pet sit). My schedule changes depending on the week but I am always available for house sitting and will give full transparency for how often I can be at the house. Feel free to message for specifics on my schedule. Also my days off tend to be Friday and Saturday so I am fully available on those days! I want to ensure your pet has the least stressful experience possible while you are away from home. So I love to help them keep their schedules (long walks, scheduled feedings, dog parks, treats at specific times etc), and relax. I am new to the Rover App but I am not new to dog sitting. I also love taking pictures for families and can send current updates or send a group of photos at the end of your trip!

About: I have grown up with animals, long before I can remember, and love being able to provide attention for my friend’s pets when out of town! I treat all animals as if they are my own with lots of love, activity, and treats! I am currently working part time as a nurse and have plenty of time to play with your furry friends on my off days! I have a 5 year old friendly corgi who makes a fantastic play mate. I live near trails and love going on walks, hikes, and getting outdoors! My schedule is very flexible and can accommodate last minute needs! While I live in a dog friendly apartment and do not have my own fenced backyard, I live near plenty of walking trails and love to get outside myself. I have my own pup at home to keep yours company and will be present at all times to ensure they are safe and comfortable. I live in a two bedroom apartment and can separate my dog if needed.

“Breana has always been very kind and patient with my wacky GSP Baxter on his Wednesday visits at the fantastic Alta Vista PupScouts, and she was just as kind and patient, and reassuring, as she took Baxter walkies this morning 🌄.”


“Madison did a great job with my two special-needs pups! One is in a stroller and has to be taken to the grass to potty, and the other is dog reactive. She handled them together like a pro! She showed up right on time as well. Highly recommend.”


About: I've always owned a cat or dog since I was 5 years old and my father has been a vet technician for 45 years. I love going on walks and making sure animals get some exercise and all the love! I do work a full time job during the week and have my own dog but weekends I'm open and free as he goes to his grandma's for a visit. I do live in an apartment so dogs are always on leash and if I were to watch an animal at my home, my dog would go to his grandma's.


“Eric was very helpful while accompanying me and Benny on a visit to the vet’s office today. Benny really like hanging out with him and kept going to the gate to look for his return.🥰”

Kristine F.Star Sitter

“Kristine is one of the best dog walkers I've had! She has a wonderful rapport with my dog (and with me) and we both look forward to her coming.”


Abigail L.
“Abbi is amazing! She is so great with my dog, who can be extra anxious, took care of my indoor rabbits with great detail and did all the litter boxes twice a day. My animals get so excited to see Abbi and she clearly is an animal lover. She comes and stays at my house and always leaves the place cleaner than I left it as a bonus. She has been my only pet sitter for over a year now and I highly recommend her.”


Ann D.
“Ann is incredibly compassionate and caring with all animals! She went on multiple walks a day with my dog, had lots of cuddles, played fetch, and kept me updated with photos!

“Danielle is an absolute gem of a woman. So kind and caring, delicate and interactive. Attentive to detail. Her heart truly shines when she’s in the presence of animals. She will not ever let an animal feel as if they aren’t noticed or loved. Danielle is responsible and timely and always on schedule as well. I recommend Danielle 5/5!”
