“Maira did great as always walking Canelo, she took I’m through a new route and it seems every time she interacts with him he likes and trusts her more and more. We found our permanent dog sitter/walker.”

About: I have been caring for dogs for about 12 years now. I am familiar taking care of small (chihuahuas and norfolk terriers) to large (german shepherd) breeds. I trained my dogs to sit, stay, lay down, bark, touch their nose with my hand, and stand in between my legs. Hello! I am currently a student but have extra time to walk/pop in and check on dogs. I love animals and enjoy going on walks so this is a 2 in 1! My place does not allow dogs but at home I make sure that my dogs are taken care of. I check up on them, feed them food with supplements and take them on walks. For client’s it is important to me for you to provide me with detailed descriptions of what/how you want me to care for your pets!

About: I grew up surrounded by dogs and love all animals, my dad had a dog business and we had all kinds of pets at home! Though I can't have a pet in my apartment, I enjoy caring for others' furry friends. I offer reliable dog walking, in-home check-ins, and pet sitting for small to medium dogs and cats, treating each pet like my own! Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine since I work from home and set my own schedule. I’m able to give pets consistent attention, timely walks, and companionship throughout the day, ensuring they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for. Since I’m not allowed to have pets in my apartment, I focus on caring for them in my clients’ homes. I follow their routines closely, provide plenty of attention and play time, keep their space clean, and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owner is away.

About: I’m a big animal lover! I’ve cared for both dogs and cats since I was 10, have dog/cat sat for families, friends and neighbors for over 15 years. I have a very flexible schedule and am always willing to work on your time and make sure your pets are safe, comfortable and taken care of! I'm currently working a remote part-time job and am available any time of the day to walk and care for your dogs. My schedule is very flexible, I'm available early mornings and afternoons as well for those needing to work late. From my own experience with my dog, I know how to crate train a dog. I ensure all possible exits leading outside of the home are closed and locked. Depending on the dogs diet, I'll provide the right amount of food and offer rewards for good behavior with treats (if allowed by the owner). Overall, I make sure the dog feels safe around me and try my best to build a trustworthy relationship.

“Marco did a great job with Baxter he fed and walked him a couple of times a day , was patient when he wanted to go on longer walks and had great communication . Would recommend to other rover users !”

About: extremely observant and organized. I like to keep everything on track from medications to potty breaks. I’ve had experience over 4 years taking care of animals of family members making sure they are well fed, exercise met to their standard, and loved. Im currently working night shifts which means I have pretty much all day to stay with your pups I am able to stay on top of things and have everything scheduled for your pet. What is most important for me is keeping their routine and keeping YOUR home intact and secured. I will respect your home and boundaries you might have for me.

I’m comfortable cleaning up any accidents in the house, following feeding schedules, and crating pets if needed. There will be lots of play time too of course.

“Melody was a fantastic walker for our lab! She is so easy to communicate with and handles our dogs early walk crazies with ease. She brought us back a tired but VERY happy dog. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their pets and I will request her help in the future. Thank you Melody!!”

About: I’ve taken care of animals for the longest time as young as 16. I would love to treat your animals the same way I would treat mine and give them the best care possible. I am currently working part-time as a dental assistant at a pediatric office. I am available Friday through Sunday morning through night, anytime you’d like. I have taken care of my friends cats when they were out in trips. I also give the best care to my own cat and dogs as in giving them their favorite treats, attention, playtime, and potty time.

About: Hi, my name is Kristen! I’m a doctorate student in clinical psychology. I’ve been a dog lover all my life and I really enjoy spending time with them. I have years of experience owning a dog, living with dogs, and dog sitting. I find joy in helping dogs have fun while I am with them! I’m patient, considerate, and responsible. I also grew up in Orange County and know my way around various spots and parks that dogs enjoy. Cant wait to meet your doggo! I am currently off for the summer until I begin my internship in the fall and can do walks and sitting any day of the week.

I want your dog to be comfortable with me and will work with where your dog is in terms of their comfort level with me. I find joy in making dogs happy by engaging them in things they love.

“Ally is AMAZING and we are so happy to have found her. She did such a great job taking care of our 65 lb, 3 year old super energetic dog Simba. I was nervous to leave him for the first time after moving but Ally made it easy to relax and not worry. She sent regular and proactive updates and detailed notes on each walk and lots of photos! We appreciated that so much. Ally is clearly someone all animals love instantly and we will definitely book with her again.”

About: I’ve taken care of puppies, dogs with allergies and old dogs as well as kittens , cats with allergies and some old cat experience as well I’m currently a college student at Mt San Antonio College and I’m trying to save up for my expensive and extensive move to university in the following year and also I want to save up money to travel. I can work throughout the week and cater to your furry friend! I am very trustworthy, If you have a routine I’ll follow it! I have references to my history with pets if needed.

About: While I’m new to Rover, I’ve been caring for pets and homes for over 15 years. I have experience with dogs, cats, senior pets, medication administration, and multi-pet households. I’m excited to bring that experience to Rover and build lasting relationships with local pet families. (: FUN FACT: I have the same birthday as Caesar Milan, so I’m kinda like a dog whisperer 🤪 I’m a housewife with no pets or children of my own. I do theater every now and then but overall my schedule is wide open and ready to share the love and care necessary for your furry companion. I’m not sure why Rover says I don’t allow animals on the furniture. I don’t mind unless it’s a rule within your home to keep them down (: I will honor all of your wishes with caring for your loved one and treat them as if they were my own. I have a fenced backyard and safe neighborhood for walks. Your furry friends will be protected and their comfort is always going to be top priority whether in your home or mine. (:

“Alex is an excellent communicator, and most importantly, my anxious dog LOVED her!”

About: Hi! I’m Alex, and I specialize in caring for senior dogs and smaller/medium pups. Over the past year, I’ve been fostering a dog while working closely with a professional trainer. This has given me hands-on experience with different behaviors, routines, and training needs. I am available during evenings and weekends. I currently work at a coffee shop and get off early in the day. I can attend to pets after work. I may be helpful for those with late-night jobs, such as bartenders or event hosts. Dog Walking – I will always go to you. I have treats (and water + a bowl!) to keep pups happy and hydrated. My walks are calm, full of sniffs, and focused on comfort. If you’re training your dog, I’ll keep things consistent. I can also provide more high-energy walks. I do NOT pull or tug dogs. Drop-In Visits – I’ll feed your pup, refresh their water, and give them love, playtime, or cuddles so they feel cared for while you’re away. I can also do a quick 15-minute potty break during this time. *If you have an elderly dog: I prefer to use the treats you normally give them to avoid upsetting their stomach. Please provide treats you’d like me to use.
