About: I’m a 23 year old dog mom who’s been raised taking care of pets and family members pets my whole life and have many years of good experience. Pet care fits perfectly in my daily routine. I’m currently a stay at home wife and I can adjust my care to fit their specific needs and personality. I'm patient, detail-oriented, and always make sure your pet feels secure and cared for. I do not do boarding in my home due to my own pets that we have here but i love going to pet's homes to take care of them and walk them! you can expect regular updates, photos, and clear communication so you always know how your pets are doing.
About: I’m a great individual that has a lot of experience taking care of fur babies. ranging from big doggy’s to little dogs and puppies. Cats as well, many different breeds. Not only I care for these fur babies I make sure they’re SAFE & Happy! (: Pet care currently fits in my life 7 days a weeks as I’m a stay at home mom and I don’t go back to Uni until the fall. I offer great care and updates on any fur baby. My home is a pretty spacious 2 story home and a fenced back yard. I have an animal door leading right to the back yard as well. The neighborhood I live in also offers a park and sidewalk in the whole neighborhood making it safe for daily and nightly walks. (:
“Shatara was amazing! Definitely made leaving my baby on vacation easier when I knew she would be there to take good care of him. She also sent me pictures so I could see what he was up to daily. From the first meeting you could tell she loved animals and made me confident she would deliver wonderful care.”

About: I lived in a ranch growing up, I have always been surrounded by the love and care of having animals and taking care of them. I have a very flexible schedule and have always been able to accommodate my animals growing up and have always worked around the time and effort! With the best respect and accommodations needed, I take care of pets as my own as well as the environment for I believe the safe space is something very valuable and will treat with genuine care.

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life, ever since I was born, they’ve always been part of my family. I’ve helped care for dogs through every stage of life, from newborn puppies to senior companions. More recently, I became a cat mom after finding my little guy roaming around a work site. I knew I could give him a safe and loving home, and he’s been a wonderful addition to my family ever since. While I’m new to professional pet sitting, I have many years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages. I understand how important pets are and will treat your furry family members with the same love, patience, and care I give my own. I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I look forward to meeting and caring for your pets! I’m available Tuesday through Sunday, with full availability on weekends. I work a hybrid schedule, so I’m flexible for weekday visits and able to work from home most days. Mondays are my only limited day due to being in the office part-time. I’m also available for overnight stays with advance notice. I provide pet care in my clients’ homes so pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding, medication, and household guidelines. I prioritize safety, respect for your home, and will always provide updates so you know your pets are safe and well cared for.
About: With over 15 years of experience in private pet sitting and personal dog ownership, I have a deep love and sense of consideration for animals. For two years, I have been dedicated to providing high-quality care through Rover, building a reputation for reliability and attentiveness. Pet care is my only commitment, so I am available for those that need more than the technical pet sitting: drop ins through the day and stay overnight. I have stayed with elder pups who could not be alone longer than 1-2 hours. So, I can be as available within my bookings as much as I am needed. Outside of pet care, I lead a quiet, home-centered lifestyle. This translates perfectly into attentive overnight care for animals that thrive in a peaceful, calm environment. Pet care is my sole professional commitment, allowing me to be fully present for your companions. My long-term goals include finding community through pet-related events, pursuing volunteer opportunities, and eventually establishing my own dedicated care business. Everyone receives specialized interaction suited to their personality and energy level: For dogs, activities often include decompression/sniff walks, backyard play, and relaxed companionship like porch sitting or quiet couch time. High-energy pets receive engaging play and mental stimulation, while seniors or sensitive dogs receive slower, confidence-building interaction and low-stress movement. For cats, there could be wand play, chase-and-capture sessions, window or bird watch enrichment, brushing (if enjoyed), and calm social time on their terms. Between activities, I prioritize rest and normal household rhythm so no one is overstimulated or unsettled. I also maintain the cleanliness of pet areas and keep the home secure and lived-in (for overnights/extended stays).
About: I have been caring for animals personally for the past 14 years. I was a dog mom to Barkley, a 14-year old rescue Yorkie, who crossed the rainbow 🌈 bridge in 2024. I have experience caring for senior dogs, puppies and all ages in between. While I don’t have a backyard with my townhome, there is a ton of green space in my community for walks to provide plenty of sunshine, fresh air and exercise for your pooch. Currently, I am working from home full-time during the week with 1-in office day a week. I take frequent breaks throughout the day that allow me to provide walks and potty breaks. I want to make sure your fur baby is as comfortable as they are at home so please feel free to share the needs and routines of your pooch. As a dog mom who has utilized a sitter for the past 12 years I understand the perspective of leaving your fur baby in the hands of someone else. You can expect quality and attentive care and of course all the free tummy rubs. I currently work from home 4 days of the week and can provide potty breaks and walks throughout the day. I’m usually away from the house on average 2 hours a day total for errands or working out. I can accommodate to the needs of your dog so they can have as close to their routine. Let me know if you would prefer for your dog to be crated or kept in a specific area during the day or night.
“Ashely is amazing! We found her on the Rover app and asked that she come meet our pups as one is very anxious around new people. She was so quick to appease us and our dogs took to her almost immediately. She sent photos and kept us updated through out the weekend. We will definitely be reaching out again if we have to be away from our pups.”


About: Hello! I have interacted with dogs for most of my life and currently have three pets that I consider to be my own and is spoiled as such! I am a veteran and a current full-time student and enjoy taking walks around the neighborhood and exploring new areas. I have always had a love for all animals. I take pride in everything that I do so rest assured that your pup (or kitty) will be in good hands. There are multiple trails and parks in the area that I would be happy to take your dog to. My own dog is high-energy so I take multiple walks throughout the day and have multiple toys and treats that he doesn't mind sharing :) If your dog is a couch potato, that's ok too! I am flexible to the needs of the individual. Currently working part time from Thurs-Sun in the evenings and am only gone 5 hours. Once school starts back up I will only be working part-time Friday and Saturday. I let my own dogs roam free. I do have a cat and the litter box is in my closet so if your pet likes getting into things they would only be allowed in the living room. I can take dogs that are not cat-friendly as I have family that could take the cat for those days. I take direction from clients if I am visiting their home.
About: What sets us apart from other pet sitters is our extensive experience and genuine passion for animal care. With several years of hands-on experience, we have had the privilege of delivering newborn puppies and providing specialized care to pets with disabilities. Our approach to pet sitting is not just about ensuring that your pets are safe; it’s about providing them with love and tailored care that suits their individual needs. Our loving family includes our own English Bulldog, who are incredibly social and enjoy playing with other dogs. We make frequent trips to the dog park, which helps our Bulldogs stay well-socialized and happy. Our pets are up-to-date with their flea, tick, and heartworm treatments, and they thrive on regular exercise. We believe that playtime is just as important indoors as it is outside, so your pets will enjoy a mix of both during their stay with us. We would be thrilled to meet you and your family, and we look forward to the opportunity to provide your pets with the same high level of care and affection that we offer our own. Feel free to reach out to arrange a visit or ask any questions. We can’t wait to welcome you and your furry friends into our home! Pet care is an integral part of our daily and weekly routine, woven seamlessly into our lives. Here’s a glimpse into how it fits into our schedule: **Daily Routine:** - **Morning:** Each day begins with early morning walks for our English Bulldogs, ensuring they start the day with exercise and a chance to socialize. After the walk, we provide breakfast and any necessary medications or treatments. - **Midday:** Throughout the day, we monitor and engage with the pets, offering playtime, training exercises, and regular check-ins to ensure their comfort and well-being. - **Evening:** In the evening, we take another walk or visit to the dog park, followed by dinner and winding down with some indoor play or relaxation time. This ensures they get plenty of exercise and attention, both physically and mentally. **Weekly Routine:** - **Health and Maintenance:** We stay on top of regular health maintenance, such as flea, tick, and heartworm treatments. We also schedule any necessary grooming or veterinary appointments. - **Socialization:** We make frequent trips to the dog park and arrange playdates with other dogs to ensure our pets remain well-socialized and happy. - **Training and Enrichment:** We incorporate training sessions and enrichment activities throughout the week to keep our pets mentally stimulated and to reinforce good behavior. By integrating these routines, we ensure that our pets receive consistent care and attention, creating a balanced and fulfilling environment for them. This same level of dedication and routine is applied to the pets in our care, so you can be confident that they’ll be treated with the same love and attention. The approach to pet care varies depending on whether we’re offering boarding, overnight stays, walking, or drop-in services. Here’s how we handle each scenario: ### **1. Boarding:** When pets stay with us for boarding, we create a home-away-from-home environment tailored to their needs: - **Comfortable Space:** Pets enjoy a cozy, dedicated space in our home, complete with their own bedding and toys to make them feel comfortable and secure. - **Daily Routine:** We follow a structured routine that mirrors their home life as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise, and playtime. - **Socialization:** Our English Bulldogs and other pets are great companions, and we facilitate supervised interactions to ensure a smooth integration. - **Health Monitoring:** We keep a close eye on their health, administering any medications as needed and ensuring they receive regular check-ups and care. ### **2. Overnight Stays:** For overnight stays in a client’s home, our focus is on maintaining their routine and providing peace of mind: - **Home Comfort:** We respect their home environment, ensuring everything is left as we found it and that their usual comforts are maintained. - **Routine Maintenance:** We follow their established routine for feeding, walks, and playtime, keeping everything consistent to minimize stress. - **Security and Safety:** We ensure the home is secure and follow any specific instructions given by the pet owner to ensure their pet’s safety and comfort. ### **3. Walking:** Dog walking services are designed to give pets exercise and mental stimulation: - **Scheduled Walks:** We adhere to the agreed schedule, providing regular walks that meet the pet’s exercise needs and preferences. - **Route Variety:** To keep walks interesting, we vary the routes and incorporate different sights and smells, making each outing enjoyable. - **Leash Manners:** We reinforce good leash manners and ensure a safe, enjoyable walk, taking care to avoid any potential hazards. ### **4. Drop-Ins:** Drop-in services involve visiting pets to provide care while owners are away: - **Feeding and Watering:** We provide fresh food and water, following the pet’s regular feeding schedule. - **Exercise and Play:** We engage in playtime and provide some exercise, based on the pet’s preferences and needs. - **Health Check:** During each visit, we check for any signs of health issues and ensure the pet is comfortable and happy. - **Update Reports:** We keep pet owners updated with reports or photos, so they can feel connected and reassured. In all scenarios, the goal is to offer a consistent, caring experience that aligns with the pet’s routine and needs, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while they are in our hands.

I received daily updates and adorable photos, which put my mind at ease while I was away. It's clear that layna goes above and beyond to ensure each dog feels loved and cared for.

Sunnyvale dog parents share their Rover experiences
Ava is seriously the absolute best sitter we could have asked for! She sent cute pics and checked in as soon as she saw that our pup had a little cut on her ear (from our darn cat), but she genuinely looked out for our 2 dogs and cat, and I was not worried about them for one second! We were gone 3 days and she was always right here for them. I can tell through the pics that they got so much love :) AND she went above and beyond and cleaned the cat box and picked up the dog poop in the yard, which she for sure didn’t have to do!! She just wanted to help out. Very easy to communicate with, very fast to respond, and very sweet! I will contact her first any time we need someone for the animals :)

This was a short trip away so we didn’t kennel our dog away from home. Mochi finally met Ann and it went well. She’s a very energetic 16 month old miniature schnauzer and loves people. Ann already loves Truffles the cat, so we’re happy she got along well with Mochi too. ♥️♥️♥️
