“We’ve had Kyle walk our dogs 2x already. Both times he showed up on time, he kept the dogs happy and he was a pleasure to hire. We will definitely hire Kyle again to care for our dogs in the near future. Thanks so much Kyle!!!!”


“From the first time Amanda came over for a meet and greet with Tofu, she has always been sweet and gentle with him. At the end of their first meeting, Tofu felt so comfortable with her that he leaned over to give her kisses and asked for belly rubs. Amanda was quick to respond to any inquiries and flexible in her schedule. Having her walk Tofu on the days I have to go in to the office is such a relief!”



About: I’ve worked in the animal care field for over 16 years including veterinary hospitals, animal rescue, fostering (from chihuahuas to pit bulls), wildlife rehab, spay/neuter clinics, etc. I’m a certified positive dog trainer through Victoria Stilwell Academy, and am always pursuing educational opportunities with animals. I recently went back to school to finish my vet school prerequisites, and submitted my application in September! I have experience taking care of animals with a variety of special medical and behavioral needs. My own pack includes Bruce (senior poodle mix), Judith (2 y/o pit bull), and Hershel (Maine coon mix) - all are rescues! I was born and raised in the South Bay. In addition to animals, my interests include music, The Walking Dead, and Disneyland, and I’ve been vegan since 2010. 🥕 I am currently taking college classes and pet sitting/dog walking daily. I will have more openings in my schedule over winter break to help with your holiday needs. I’ve provided pet sitting services in clients’ homes for over 13 years. Safety of your pets and property is my top priority, and I will keep you in the loop with regular updates.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all ages and breeds since I was young. I always had a special place in my heart to care for animals. It is my passion in the future to be able to become a vet. I’m currently in college (strictly) online and have a part time job but i’m pretty much free all day so i’m available whenever needed :) By taking precaution and getting to know these animals. Always watching these animals is number one in my book to have a safe and trusting environment

About: In fifteen long years of caring for multiple dogs, I have grown into as firm of an Animal care virtuoso as you can get. I can assure that I have the Compassion, Experience, and Knowledge to be a premier pet sitting candidate I don’t have a job at this moment so I am basically home all day everyday, though I will go to the gym sporadically, other than that, I have ample time for Pet care! I will simply get the job done. Whatever task is in front of me, I will ensure that is completed to perfection. My home is in a safe and secure neighborhood, and my heart is also in a safe place.


“Traci was very loving with my dog and my dog wanted to leave with her when she was dropped off, so that says it all! Traci kept me in the loop, was very professional and most of all, obviously an animal lover. I would definitely hire Traci again!”


About: I'm a part-time college student, But I manage to take care of your loving fur babies while I'm off of school right now. Owners will love the care I provide because I'm very loving and respectful of needs/wants. I'm very caring for animals as they need our help as much as possible. I love all kinds of animals. My care experience is based on learning from watching, reading online, or learning on my own experience how to proceed in careful matters. I've learned very risky situations on my dogs that I had in the past that I was not comfortable with but I managed to take risks. So I can say I'm a bit of a risk taker as well, But a safe only if you want me to do. Nothing is done without concerning the owner. These are a bit of what I can do for my dog and try with any other pet. I can bathe, clip nails, comb hair, and come up with tricks with treats granted. Availability comes great with me because I'm home with my fur baby of my own. I'm home throughout the day/night unless I'm doing homework, photography, or at the gym to better myself; Which I love too. This is great as well if you're looking to better your pet well being. So being available is my most accurate thing about me and it works for any working hours of dog owners. My special skills are loving, playing with dogs, and keeping them happy always while spoiling them with my love or treats. haha. I also love to take photoshoots with my fur baby as I'm trying to own my business one day. I love teaching tricks, spending time walking with them, or just hanging out. I'm here for dogs. Dog lover is my passion. If I could own many dogs I would. I'm those extra helping hands. I am here for you! I'm on break from school, so I can have more time to take them to play, walk, feed them, and potty/poop time. I also can be there for your fur baby on weekends if you like to go out somewhere and have no worries. I'm here for you. I make sure your fur baby is happy, worry-free, and calm and stays to your commands/rules. I give love and accept lovable kisses and messes. I also have a fur baby of my own, so I know what it takes. I can do any service that you want and try my best to succeed with focus and helping needs until you return to your favorite companion.

About: I have had the pleasure of helping friends and family with their pets since I was a young girl. I've always loved furry friends, children too, & I recently had a fur baby of my own who taught me how to groom her and love her as my very own first puppy. I loved baking her little home-made treats, and making her dinners from scratch! Unfortunately, I had to return her to her original family as my living situation and job security has been undergoing major reconstruction the last couple years. I work in music and am now my own boss. Hoping to rescue another poodle soon <3 I am currently looking for a full-time job as a nanny, so until then, my schedule is totally open! I love taking pets to play outside with me any day of the week! I will only be walking dogs or doing home sitting; I love cuddles and making your fur baby feel comfortable and happy. I will be glad to update you with pictures, as needed, and I am a great communicator who will be sure to ask you questions regarding your little (or big!) one if any arise, so we can assure they are happy and healthy while they are under my care.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for 5 years, my own dog, my brother’s 2 dogs, chicken and cats. I trained my dog from just YouTube and he is perfect. I’ve started to watch my neighbors dogs this summer, going for long walk and regular care. I’m currently on summer break so I have too much free time. I spend my days at the mall or at my brothers house volunteering to watch his dogs, even when it’s just for an hour. I have a fenced area and I’m very strong and fast so I can catch any dog if somehow the leash magically disappears. At home the door stays locked.

About: I would also like to note that I have experience in keeping and caring for large breed dogs, such as the shepherds, as well as medium and small breed dogs. I can work with several animals at the same time. I am also an expert in maintaining healthy dog nutrition, which allows me to use this knowledge, for example, in the postoperative period or a number of diets after illnesses, as well as when the animal refuses to eat due to stress or other circumstances. I this regard. I have the opportunity to prepare a balanced feed that allows you to fully restore the microflora of the gastrointestinal tract, and also helps the pet to come to a state of calm and relaxation. In turn, I can guarantee that your pets will find in me a wonderful and loving friend, and you an impeccable assistant who will keep home in perfect order during your absence. My clients come from various fields of activity. But they all agree that I am the best worker in the animal care industry. As a result of long-term and close interaction with me over several years, my clients unconditionally acknowledge the fact that an unconditional trusting contact is established between me and their animals, filled with love and mutual understanding. This allows my clients to have complete peace of mind and confidence that their pets are in a completely comfortable and protected environment filled with love and care while they are away.My clients also emphasize the high level of trust in me, as well as my highest professional and human qualities, such as honesty, integrity, sincerity, kindness and responsiveness. The ability to quickly react to a situation and recognize the needs of a pet, attention to detail, as well as unconditional love for pets. All of the above naturally leads to complete mutual understanding and trust at the highest level. I look forward to meeting your pets to give them endless love, happiness, surround them with love and attention, so that in every minute of your absence your pets feel only warmth and peace. I work exclusively in my clients homes because i believe that being in an unfamiliar environment can be stressful for a pet, unlike being in a home environment.

“Kirsten is the GREATEST WALKER EVER! Not only is she a super sweet person, she takes amazing care of our fur baby Phoebe and provides tons of adorable pictures and updates. It’s been a relief having her provide walks/check-ins while we’re out of town. 11/10 would recommend Kirsten!! ?”


About: Hello! I am a local mom of four, not including my 1 year old mini dachshund, our beardie & 2 tree frogs. With a home full of kids pets are a must have because they bring so much joy 🥰. I didn’t have dogs until my adult life, but I grew up with cats. I’ll never forget my dad letting me pick out a kitten and bring her home. It was a huge milestone to have a little life to take care of & a memory I’ll never forget. Now we have our mini dachshund, and she is the sweetest girl. Training her & raising her has been so much fun for us this past year. I am available for drop ins and walks for your pets (open to almost all pets- don’t be shy to ask). I’m trustworthy, responsible and easy going. I’m just an honest mom with a busy schedule (school + sports) who needs flexible work I can do in the midst of all the things! I also may not mind last minute needs- again, don’t be shy to reach out. Would love to meet you & see if I can help you fill in the gaps with your pet care needs! I am home most weekdays taking my kids here and there. So I have a lot of random gaps in my schedule that I’d love to fill with walks / drop ins. My evenings and weekends are pretty open at the moment. I may occasionally have one of my kids with me, so if your animal isn’t good with children please specify so I know not to bring them :). I do not offer boarding or overnights in your home at this time. If good rapport develops over time that could be discussed in the future. Safety is my top priority, I know we love our fur babies like children & I will love yours like they are my own.


About: Hi, I'm Amanda - a long time animal lover and owner. I have one cat of my own and have grown up with dogs my whole life. I am familiar with dog behavior and needs and have spent a lot of hours in the dog park with my friend's animals. I am unfortunately unable to have my own dog where I live, so would love to spend time with your dog in the comfort of his or her home. Safety and the well being of your dog are of the utmost priority. Affection and exercise are also key. I am a great communicator, am responsible and truly love animals. Text updates with activities will be sent daily. Your dogs will be treated like my own under my care. My goal is to make your pup as comfortable and occupied so you can have peace of mind while you are away!

About: I have 8 years of experience of caring for my pet Red Eared Slider turtle Speedy, but I also dog sit for friends on occasion. I love spending time with animals including taking dogs on walks and playing with them when they have zoomies! I just graduated from UC Berkeley and am back home with lots of free time that I would love to spend caring for your pups and cats! I have no work commitments this summer (taking it easy until I start graduate school in Irvine this September) and so I’d love to spend lots of time, week and weekends, caring for your pets. I will be traveling occasionally over the next months, but otherwise am very free almost any day and any time to help where I am needed! I will talk with you in detail to discuss exactly what you need from me to feel safe about my caring for your pets, but I live in a very safe and comfy home that your pet will love! If I am house sitting/checking in on your pet at home, I am extremely careful with keeping doors closed, keeping an eye on your pet at all times, and watching to make sure your pet is comfortable.

Lisa G.

“Lisa is a professional with pets. We first started working with her a couple years ago when we we were about to leave on a 3 week long vacation. Her Yelp reviews were (and still are) outstanding. The first time we met her, we knew our pets would be well taken care of as all of the dogs and the cat calmly flocked over to her. Since then, we've hired only Lisa to do overnight stays and even just hangouts with our pets when we can't be home all day. Lisa has followed through with all of our pets' medications as needed and kept us informed of how our pets are doing by responding to texts/emails or by sharing photos. We highly recommend Lisa as we know our home and our pets will be well taken care of throughout her stay.”


Jessica M.
“Jessica is a very smart & outstanding young lady. She watches my two dogs often whether it was late or early. I believe she’s responsible and will excel your needs!”


Jack C.
“Jack is a hardworking responsible young man. He is kind and considerate and he loves animals. I know he has owned a pet since he was a child and I have had him walk and take care of my own dog. He would be an asset to your organization.”

Alexa F.
“Alexa has taken care of my pets before. She makes sure they are fed and walked. Any time I need my pets to get taken care of I call her”


Olesia A.
“Olesia was a lawyer in Ukraine before entering the US as a refugee. She is smart, honest, and loves animals. She has taken care of our dachshund many times - when we are away for an evening or for an extended number of days. She has cared for our children's cats, house-sitting for many days. She has done the same for many of our friends. She is truly enthusiastic about meeting and caring for pets. She had to depart from her own dogs when she left Ukraine, so she finds a special solace when she can care for the pets of others. I have no hesitation commending her to any household who needs someone they can trust with their pets when they are away.”


Vasiliki K.
“Vasiliki has been a pet-lover for as long as I remember. She is a loving pet mom to her beautiful kitty Muffin, and adores her uncle’s pittie Blu. My cat is pretty antisocial, and even she gets excited when Vasiliki is around 😸”


Lisa G.
“I have known Lisa Gohdes for many many years and she is the most trust worthy person I know. She is also the kindess, most thoughtful and reliable person. She treats people and animals of all types with the utmost respect, from young to old. She is also a hard worker and a person of her word. One other great thing about Lisa, she is a fast walker and can go a long distance. In the past she would walk my young Husky who needs to walk fast and a long distance in an hour, and she would walk my 20 year old slower with patience, care and respect. She will adjust her walking and pet care to what ever your pets needs are. Lisa will be an asset to the Rover company.”

Amanda E.
“Amanda is amazing with dogs and all dogs love her! Both my business partner and I have left our dogs with her several times and we feel so confident about doing so. She treats our dogs like her own, not only taking care of their basic needs (she's attentive to feeding times and always takes them to walk around the block or to the dog park) but also goes beyond by offering lots of love and care to them! She is also very good at reading dogs and understanding what they need! So much so that anytime my dogs see Amanda they bark and wag their tails in excitement! I highly recommend Amanda to anyone looking for a very responsible, trustworthy and loving dog sitter.”

Terminal Island dog parents share their Rover experiences
Julee is great with our dog. She is good at communicating, thoughtful and transparent with us. She loves our dog and did a great job doing 1 hour walks around the neighborhood that were different each time while I was traveling and my partner was working. We trusted her with using our key and feel great about working with Julee.

Si-Mon took great care of my timid senior doggo, Tank. It was my first time hiring a dog walker and she made it a positive experience. She came to do a meet & greet to make sure Tank was comfortable with her, and updated me with photos after she completed her visit. Would definitely recommend Si-Mon!
