“Savannah was amazing! She agreed to meet us (My dog Maia and I) before her 1st visit, that was very important for me since I wanted to see Maia’s reaction. Since the first time she gave me such a good vibe and she answered all my questions, that gave me so much peace of mind that Maia was on good hands! Also she agreed to take care of her during the Christmas holidays. Savannah was very communicative and followed all the instructions on her visits, she took a bunch of pictures and Maia was great during all her visits. I will definitely book again when needed. Thanks a lot Savannah”

“Call was awesome when I needed a Drop-In for my pup on a relatively short notice. She was attentive to his peculiarities, particularly his colder-shoulder to anyone new in the house - which she handled with ease. Trustworthy, kind and reliable, Call is the exact person you’re looking for to take care of your pets. 10/10 will book again. Thanks Call!”

About: I grew up with dogs in the house, and have always helped out at animal shelters. I love dogs big and small, and have dog sat for people with dogs as small as chihuahua to dogs as big as Tibetan mastiffs. I currently have a rescue pit/lab mix. I have my own car, so pick ups, drop offs, and dog sitting at the owner’s house would not be an issue. I do speak Mandarin Chinese and Taiwanese fluently in case there is a need for communication with the owners or families in a different language. I love outdoor sports and walks in the park and trail, so that is something I could offer if the owner wishes their pups get some more exercise. I have also cat sit for friends many of times. I have never had a cat of my own, but always enjoy playing with my friends’ cats. Honestly, I love animals of all kinds! I’m an icu nurse, so I work 3 days a week. Rest of the time I spend hanging out with friends and families and my dog. I typically walk my dog about 3 times a day and feed him twice a day. Depending on what your pet’s needs are, I am flexible to meet your pet’s needs.

About: Hey there! My name is Natasha and I have been an avid dog lover since I was young. My partner and I both WFH and we have a fully fenced in front and backyard for the pups to play and roam. With my 8+ years of dog care experience, it's my pleasure to make our house your dog's favorite home away from home! A little about me: My first dog was a Christmas gift when I was 16. Despite being on crutches, I learned a lot about dog training and care. Fast forward to 7 years ago, I rescued my border collie and trained her to become a service dog. We go everywhere and do (almost) everything together - including taking care of other dogs! I've also fostered dogs through Amazing Strays and really enjoyed the process of helping them decompress, recalibrate, and feel safe enough to trust and love again. I am also happy to watch your pet(s) at your home as my partner can take care of the gang here at home while I'm away. Whatever works best for you! Either way - your pets will be loved, mentally and physically engaged, and cared for however long you need! I work remote full-time and set my own schedule. Nyla joins me for runs, frisbee sessions at the park, hikes, and fetch 5-6 days a week. After that, it’s all cuddle puddle. We also do some training on our walks for breakfast! We go for a long walk in the morning and evening, with plenty of short breaks throughout the day - or one of the aforementioned activities! Safety is of utmost importance to me. I know many dogs have lots of ways they communicate their boundaries and I keep a close eye for any or all of them your dog may show. We have a fully fenced in front and backyard, a way to divide the two, and live in a residential neighborhood. I work with each pet to learn their comfort level and earn their trust on their terms and timetable. Nyla and our foster are both crate trained so separation is always available if need be!

About: With over five years of hands-on experience as a veterinary technician, caring for animals is a passion. I’ve worked extensively with anxious, fearful, and/or reactive dogs and cats. I’m confident reading body language, building trust, and creating a calm, low-stress environment where animals feel safe. My schedule is fairly open and flexible while I navigate a career shift and going back to school. I do not typically leave dogs alone, but if applicable, I prefer dogs to be kennel trained. I do have a large kennel in-house that can be used. I’m well-versed in basic dog training (ie. puppy crate training, basic obedience) and am a confident, educated handler. I prioritize positive reinforcement and enriching activities - I always want dogs feel secure. I also have resources for trainer referrals if need. My medical background means your pet is in knowledgeable hands. I’m comfortable administering medications — including injections for dogs and cats — monitoring for health changes and supporting pets with special medical or behavioral needs. PLEASE have your dog up to date on core vaccines: Bordetella, Rabies, DHP (distemper/parvo) - with medical exceptions. PLEASE have your dog on a flea/tick medication prescribed by your vet. It is important! Please feel free to ask me questions if you need help :)

About: Not your average dog caretaker! I am a big dog lover! I have experience walking and taking care of dogs, puppies as well as seniors, small, medium sized and with a high energy level. Walking with your dog is not just a good exercise, it is also a good opportunity to show them attention and affection. I take a trust based approach to dogs and make sure they feel safe, happy and loved when they are with me. My goal is to leave you with a happy dog and to leave your dog with a satisfied owner. Animal care is a big part of my daily routine, and I love spending time with dogs. With my flexible schedule, I can provide walks, sitting, and plenty of attention to keep them happy and safe while their owners are away. I provide personalized care, including walks, playtime, feeding, and a safe environment. My husband and I live in a pet friendly, cozy bungalow with a lot of grass areas. Whether in my home or a client’s, I follow their routine to keep pets happy and well cared for.

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and it’s something I truly enjoy. Friends, family, and neighbors regularly trust me to feed, walk, and spend quality time with their pets while they’re away. I worked at the humane society, so I have experience with various breeds and temperaments. I’m attentive to each pet’s unique needs—whether that’s high-energy playtime, gentle care for senior dogs, or helping reinforce basic training. I prioritize safety, routine, and making sure your pet feels comfortable and loved. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel at ease knowing your pet is in good hands. I’m currently working part-time as a nanny, so I have plenty of time to be with your pet! I’m available on the weekends and Monday-Wednesday I own a home in Talmadge with a fully fenced yard, offering a safe and secure space for pets to play and relax. My quiet, secluded neighborhood is ideal for calm, enjoyable walks. I closely supervise all outdoor time and prioritize each pet’s safety, comfort, and routine so they feel right at home.

About: I'm a caring, patient animal lover with hands-on experience training my own Aussie Shepherd, who was highly reactive when I got him. Through consistent, patient training, he's transformed — we now go on hikes and even trips to the mall together. That experience taught me how to read a dog's stress signals and adjust my approach to each individual's needs. I also work at a senior living community, where I spend my days building genuine connections with residents through active listening and personalized attention. Whether it's a person or a pet, I bring the same calm, consistent care — and I'd love to bring that same patience and attentiveness to your dog. I'm currently a Biology student at Miramar College working toward transferring to a four-year university, and I balance my coursework and lab hours with part-time work at a senior living community. Pet sitting/walking fits naturally into my routine — it gives me flexible income between classes and shifts while I explore internships in my field, and it's a great way to unwind from a full day of labs and studying. In a client's home, I focus on keeping things as close to your pet's normal routine as possible — feeding times, walk schedules, and any specific habits or triggers you let me know about. I'm observant and patient, so I pay close attention to body language and adjust my approach if a pet seems anxious or unsure of me at first. My experience working with seniors has also sharpened my ability to read subtle cues and respond calmly, which carries over well into how I handle animals who need a little extra reassurance.

About: Doggy Mama of 10 years for my sweet Wheaten Terrier, Suki! I have been with her for all stages of life: curious puppy, energetic teenager, and mellow adult. This has taught me how to adjust towards whatever needs your pet may have. No matter the attention your furry friend needs— whether it be downtime and cuddles, or zoomies and long walks— I am here to provide! I can administer medication, and will easily adapt to the schedule/routine that your pet requires. I am a sophomore student at San Diego State University, majoring in Criminal Justice. I have classes Monday-Thursday starting at 12:00pm and ending by 4:00pm. I live on campus and have a car so transportation is not an issue. I am able to pet sit at anytime throughout the week that I don’t have classes- and am willing to stay over night and/or through the weekends. Caring for your companion will vary depending on personality and routine but there are definitely some core principles that I carry with me. First one being respect— respect of your home, respect of your animals needs and wants, and respect of your time. I will be present as much as I can be, even if that means just sitting in the same room as them. Another core value, depending on your pet, is exercise. It doesn’t matter if it’s a long walk, a short and slow walk, or even just interacting with toys— something that gets them moving and keeps them entertained. And a big one is love, I promise to absolutely adore your animal and show them kindness in whatever ways they need. That could look like self care: brushing their coat, massaging stiff joints. That could look like affection: rubbing on them, talking to them, and making sure they know i’m here for them. And that could also mean giving them space. Any adjustment that I can make to give you and your pet a smooth experience, I would love to do.

About: My friends and neighbors count on me to check on and sit their animals, and I regularly walk my own pups with their neighborhood furry friends. I grew up with Rottweilers, and have embraced small dogs in recent years. I'm 6ft and 200lbs, and am comfortable with a variety of sizes of dogs. I currently have total flexibility in my schedule and am happy to help with pet care throughout the day. I'm just getting started on Rover, but I've been a dedicated pet parent for almost a decade and love the way it enriches my life. I'd be happy to extend the same level of care and understanding I give to my own pets to yours. I live with my two pups in a small condo complex, where I have an enclosed back patio and immediate access to a very walkable neighborhood. I am comfortable entering friends' homes and allowing the animals to acclimate at their own pace, and am just as happy taking pets for walks as I am keeping them company in their own homes.

About: I have the most experience with adult and senior dogs. My dog is 11 years old and she’s had numerous medications prescribed to her, so giving medicine to animals is not a problem. I currently work Monday through Friday 8:30-3:30, but can come to your home to care for your animal and house right after I get off work. On the weekends, I have open availability. I will let animals out to use the restroom every 2 hours and follow all instructions left for me. I will cuddle with them if they allow me to do so because that’s my favorite part!

Carrie is an ABSOLUTE gem - we couldn’t have asked for a better person to take care of our pup. Carrie has helped watch Marnie twice and has great communication.
