“Lara was great with Merlin. He is a big dog and she is experienced with big dogs. She kept me informed, while I was away for a long day. I am happy to recommend Lara and will book with her again.”

About: I’ve lived with and have cared for both dogs and cats since I was little, and currently have 1 dog at home. I have experience handling leash reactive dogs, and have learned from trainers on how to handle situations while out walking. I am currently in between jobs so I have plenty of flexibility in my schedule to walk dogs. I can walk dogs anywhere from 9 a.m up to 3 p.m. I have a fully fenced yard that overlooks a babbling creek. There is plenty of room to run around outside and play ball. When caring for dogs i make sure there is lots of play time with different toys and games that stimulate a dogs brain as well as lots of cozy space for a dog rest.
“I am beyond pleased with the exceptional care and attention that our male dog walker provided to my two schnauzers. In just two walks, it is evident that he genuinely cares for them. His sweet demeanor and dedication make him a standout choice. I will definitely be utilizing his services again”
About: What sets me apart is that caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it’s something I’ve lived my entire life. I grew up with a golden retriever named Arwen, and from 8th grade on, I was fully responsible for her walks, training, and care. I even started waking up an hour earlier every day just to make sure she got her morning walk in before school! Later, when I moved to the U.S. for college, I helped raise and train my roommate’s husky puppy, Ava, who struggled with separation anxiety. I’d take her to class, skate with her to tire her out, and help her stay calm and confident. It was like co-parenting a very energetic fur baby—and I loved every minute. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and personalities—from hyper puppies to senior dogs with medical needs. My husband and I pet sat for two elderly Bichon Frises (17 years old!) every year while their owners traveled, carefully managing their diet, medications, and gentle exercise. I’ve also grown to love cats after living with Archie—my first real cat roommate—and have experience gently brushing, bonding, and caring for both indoor and stray cats (I even accidentally helped my mom adopt a kitten when I took in a stray!). Most recently, I taught my in-laws’ senior dog Ellie new tricks at the age of 7, proving that even older pups can learn with patience and love. We can’t have pets in our home right now due to landlord restrictions, so pet sitting is how I stay connected to what I love most—animals. I treat every pet like they’re my own, and I genuinely enjoy making them feel safe, happy, and loved while their humans are away. I am a bioengineering Ph.D. Student, most of the time I have freedom of picking my hours, as well as working from home when needed! I always start by learning as much as I can about your pet’s routine, preferences, health needs, and quirks. Whether it’s medication schedules, feeding routines, or special toys they love—I’m here to follow your instructions to a T. I do my best to keep your pet’s day feeling as normal as possible while you’re away. I’m extremely respectful of your home and always aim to leave it just as you left it (or better!). I double-check doors and windows, never leave pets unsupervised outside, and keep a tidy, pet-safe environment throughout the stay. I also send regular updates—photos, videos, and check-ins—so you can relax knowing your fur baby is happy and well cared for. If you ever need in-my-home care in the future (pending landlord approval!), my goal would be to provide a cozy, stress-free space that’s clean, safe, and set up to meet your pet’s unique needs.
About: Use code SARAD43819 for $20 off your first Rover booking! I have always had pets since I was young. I am a total animal lover and have lots of time throughout the day to take your pup on walks, play fetch, and let them run around our spacious back yard. I now currently have a Mini Australian Shepherd who loves to play with other dogs. I am a part time teacher, so I am free after 12:30 M-F and weekends. For the months of June and July I am available any time during the day/night. Anytime I let pets out in the yard I will be out there with them to ensure they are safe and not getting out of the yard. We have a fairly large, fenced in flat back yard which is perfect for running around or playing fetch. I take my pup on two walks per day, one in the morning and the other shortly before dinner time (that is flexible for whether your dog needs more or less than that). My dog, Cooper, is a 4 year old old energetic and lovable Mini Australian Shepherd mix. He loves to play, but also loves his nap times throughout the day. He gets along with all dogs.
About: I have enjoyed helping my parents and neighbors with animal and house sitting over the years and managed anywhere from 1 - 2 independent pets up to 5 pets at a time (dogs, cats, chickens, rabbits, reptiles). I am currently a part-time student looking to extend my animal care experiences to pets in your home. I specialised in animal behavior while studying neuroscience at the Claremont Colleges and will be very attentive to your animals needs in my care. I also have experience administering topical/oral medications as scheduled. I am continuing my education part-time and available to help mostly afternoons. Please contact me 1-2 weeks in advance for HOUSE STAYS otherwise I am flexible to assist with regular potty breaks, walks, feeding, etc. with 1-2 days notice. When caring for animals in clients homes I will be sure to follow any set guidelines or recommendations provided to me. I enjoy meeting animals energy levels with exercise (walks, outdoor play), toys, training reinforcement, or simply good pets. I will be respectful of you and your animal's space to reduce stress and encourage normal/beneficial behaviors.

About: Hi, I'm Kaila! I am an animal loving college student with a lifetime of experience in pet care. I grew up with a vast array of animals who often were left under my watch. I have taken care of cats, little dogs, big dogs, and bunnies. All sizes and ages of pets are welcome! I have experience with puppy/kitten care, senior care, cats, small dogs, and big dogs! I'm well versed in (lovingly) tricking pets into taking their medication, ensuring they get proper exercise/enrichment, and cleaning up after them. At the moment I am free everyday aside from Sundays from 8-3pm. I am very flexible and able to meet you and your pets schedule! While I am not able to board your pets at my house, I can care for them in yours. To ensure your pets safety, comfort, and happiness I will take the time to get an understanding of their routine, personality, and any specific rules you have in place. Each pet is different and I take pride in getting to know all their quirks and needs!

“Christa is great. Communicative, punctual, reliable - all super important to me. Kona loves seeing her arrive as he knows he is in for a great time! he always comes home ready for a nap which is great...”
About: I’ve been working with animals my whole life, both professionally and personally. I have been a trusted dog sitter for my friends and family for years and have worked closely with Monterey Bay Lab rescue as a foster parent. Over the years I have cared for dogs of all age groups, including multiple litters of puppies. While it could be difficult at times, it was always worth it knowing that the dogs were well loved and going to a good home. I’m excited to be given the opportunity of caring for your pet. With over a decade of experience under my belt I can guarantee the best possible care for your baby! As a college student, my summer schedule is extremely open and flexible. I'm willing to adhere to your needs so I can ensure that your pet is well cared for. When it comes to pet care, the most important thing is trust! In order to form a positive relationship with an animal, it’s important to show them unconditional love and appreciation. If they can’t trust you, then you won’t be able to give them the tools they need to succeed. Similarly, it's important to show the owner that you are a reliable figure by adhering to a strict schedule and actively listening to their pets' needs.
About: I’ve taken care of many different dogs and animals since childhood. I was part of my local 4h helping raise animals from steers to Guinea pigs. I love all animals and love them more than humans. I currently work from home. I can be very flexible with my schedule to accommodate different needs. I will always be available for your pet for some pets or a step outside. I have a small cat who keeps to herself. Your dog can be free around my home or crated if you prefer. I work on my computer all day so I can always be attentive. I live right on a creek so your dog will be very entertained on their walks.
About: I have been in the veterinary medicine industry for over 8 years so I can care for all animals needs. I enjoy dog training and feel that I work well with all behaviors. My availability is flexible at this point. I am happy to accommodate the needs and wants of the pet at this point until I return to work full time. I will ensure that the environment is always safe and secure for the pets. If there is any special needs I am happy to accommodate.

Sara D.
“As the owner of a rescue beagle with severe separation anxiety, I am highly selective about who I leave him with. After talking with Sara and leaning how she’s a school teacher, I felt if she can handle a room full of teenagers, then she could handle my little guy! She surely did not disappoint! Sara was kind, attentive, and great with my dog. Not to mention, her dog was super friendly and well-behaved with him and they have an awesome yard for the dogs to run around in! She sent me pictures and videos and he entire time I was away, which helped to put my mind at ease (maybe I’m the one with separation anxiety??). I would highly recommend leaving your fur baby with Sara, and I will absolutely be using her again in the future!! 10/10 rating from both Scout and I! 🐾”
