“Ari was nice and easy to deal with. Upon first meeting Frida, he picked right up on her energy and kept her calm. He worked great with our dog, and was clearly an experienced dog walker and animal lover. Thanks Ari!”

About: I'm excited to meet new pets and their people! While I'm new to Rover, I'm not new to caring for animals. I have over 20 years of professional experience caring for pets and homes, along with a lifetime of loving animals of my own. Animals have been part of my life since childhood. I've cared for dogs of every size, age, and personality, as well as cats, birds, and other small animals. Most recently, I spent four years living in Hawaii with my own dog, cat, and bird, and have cared for pets throughout the Bay Area, including Marin, San Francisco, Oakland, Contra Costa, and Napa. I'm an outdoor enthusiast who loves mountain biking, hiking, camping, and exploring nature. If your dog enjoys adventure and you're comfortable with it, I'm happy to include longer walks or outdoor adventures tailored to their energy level. I enjoy keeping active dogs both physically and mentally engaged, while always respecting each pet's individual needs and routine. During COVID, while my massage therapy practice was on pause, I got a certification in canine massage, deepening my understanding of canine anatomy, mobility, and comfort. This experience has been especially valuable when caring for senior dogs, anxious pets, and those who benefit from right amount of exercise and a calm, gentle touch. Every pet is different, and I take pride in carefully following your instructions so they feel safe, loved, and at home while you're away. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind, knowing your beloved companion is receiving attentive, experienced care. I've always believed animals are some of life's greatest gifts. To me, they are like guardian angels on Earth. They teach us unconditional love, presence, and joy. It's a privilege to earn their trust and care for them as if they were my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily life. I currently work part-time with a flexible schedule, which allows me to plan my work around the pets I'm caring for whenever possible. I intentionally limit my commitments so I can provide each pet with the time, attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, quiet companionship, or simply keeping their normal routine, I'm happy to adapt my schedule to meet their needs. I understand that consistency helps pets feel safe and comfortable while you're away, and I strive to make their time with me feel as familiar and stress-free as possible. Clear communication is important to me, and I'll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is happy, loved, and well cared for. Every pet is unique, so I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and preferences before you leave. I carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, favorite walking routes, sleeping arrangements, and any special needs to help your pet feel safe and comfortable. Whether your companion enjoys long walks and outdoor adventures, playtime, enrichment activities, or simply relaxing on the couch, I tailor my care to what makes them happiest. I believe consistency and patience help pets feel secure while their family is away.

About: Hi! I’m a dedicated animal lover with two cats of my own, and I absolutely adore caring for pets of all kinds. Whether you have energetic dogs that need daily walks and playtime, independent kitties who want some extra snuggles, or any other furry (or scaly!) friends, I’m experienced and confident giving them the attentive, affectionate care they deserve. While you’re away, I’ll keep your pets happy and comfortable in their familiar environment, stick to their normal routines, provide plenty of love and exercise, and make sure your home stays safe and tidy. You can relax knowing your beloved companions are in trustworthy, caring hands! I work from home with a flexible schedule, so I’m highly available for drop-ins, overnight stays, and house sitting whenever you need me. Your pets will always receive prompt and attentive care! I prioritize your pets’ safety and well-being above all else. In your home, I follow your exact instructions and routines to the letter — from feeding schedules and medication to favorite toys and walk routes. I’m a responsible, non-smoker with a clean background, and I treat your space with the same care as my own.

“Chiara is the perfect match for my girl Kanga. Both have lots of energy. Thanks so much for taking Kanga out for a much needed run this morning.”

“Zack is my best friend's new best friend! My dog Badger has had issues with other dogs his size and bigger. In a few weeks, Zack has worked with him enough to allow me to walk Badger comfortably on my own. He is super happy when I get home from work and he is getting the exercise he needs! Zack gives extra attention and is a warm and kind person. He sends great pictures of my dog that make me smile when I'm at work. I highly recommend Zack for any care that your dog needs. I'll be rebooking immediately so I don't lose my spot! Thanks Zack! Love, Marci and Badger”

About: Hello; I'm a lifelong animal lover with over 10 years experience caring for and living with all dogs big and small. I'm flexible, reliable, and love walking, hiking, and staying with pets. I currently work as a part-time illustrator and personal chef, but have most of my day open to devoting to your pets. I'm able to stay with and care for animals (both short and extended term), and am also available for drop-ins, walks, and hikes. I've cared for many pets and homes (both long and short term) for over a decade. I love taking dogs out to the trail, the beach, and the park, and also have experience with various walking, medication, and care routines.

“Provided such great communication and sent so many photos during their hangout. Highly recommend her to anyone to leave their furbaby with in the Sausalito area!”

About: I am a very responsible dog owner who would love to take care of your pet! My dog (Milo) is a 8 year old Goldendoodle and loves playing with other dogs. I take my dog on daily walks and enjoy playing fetch with him. I work in Tiburon Tuesday through Thursday but have a flexible lunch that I can use for drop in visits. I have 2 separate places in my house that your dog would feel comfortable, either in a carpeted room or hardwood floors. My dog loves going back and forth between these two areas

“Jesse has been great with our very active and sometimes reactive dog. He built a relationship with our dog quickly and we are very pleased to have such a reliable person to help out with Cooper! Jesse is also super responsive and works with our scheduling changes as needed.”

About: I’ve owned dogs and cats my whole life, and have experience with all ages as well! I’ve worked with high energy large dogs, as well as senior animals that require special attention. I appreciate every pet I come across and promise to treat them as I would my own! I’m a recent college graduate and work part time. On Wednesdays and Sundays I’m free to give your pet the love and attention they deserve! I don’t offer services in my own home, but I promise follow any of your pet’s specific needs and other house rules to the letter!

About: I will make sure to give your pet lots of love. I have a few tricks I have taught my dog, so now I could teach your yours. I am available any time day or night Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. I am available any time after 1pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I am a caring and loving person. I would also call myself super clean, so I will make sure nothing gets messy around the house.

About: I am an avid dog lover and truly a lover of all animals. I have been a proud owner of many different dogs in my lifetime and I am dedicated to caring for dogs that are in need. Since my early youth I have always been the "go to" person to tend to family pets and those of neighbors and friends, along side my own. I have been fortunate to have learned from those experiences and I pride myself on sharing all that knowledge with every pet in need or not. One of my dogs "Woody" a 75 pound mixed breed that I could not imagine being without, actually attended University with me and everyone on campus adored him. Dogs need to feel safe and cared for and in return they offer the same comforts to people. I know what it means to truly care for animals and I believe they are as drawn to me as I am to them. I have worked for the Humane Society as well as several Veterinarians' offices throughout my many years of pet care. In my youth, when asked what I wanted to be when I grew up I always imagined myself as a Vet. Although I never achieved that goal, the years I spent learning from others has not gone to waste. I am quick on my feet to respond to any issue(s) that needs my immediate attention and I personally believe that when caring and giving love and attention to pets I am not only providing a service but in return I am rewarded beyond any financial gain. I am extremely trust worthy and know that our furry friends are family too and deserve to be cared for, loved, have a safe place to call their home away from home whenever in need and above all will be treated by someone who appreciates their uniqueness. No expectation is to much for me to accommodate as needed. I will gladly go above and beyond to ensure that the pet(s) that I care for and their owners are MORE than satisfied. Guaranteed! I am currently not working away from my home and so my schedule can easily become your schedule as needed. Full boarding available for scheduling 7 days a week including holidays. FOR FIRST TIME ROVER USERS, USE PROMO CODE: WORLDP38657 FOR AN ADDITIONAL SAVINGS. I have a spacious home for boarding which is away from the street level with an extensive backyard as well as open space with several nearby parks for walks and playtime. I live in a popular dog walking area that is also very safe. My home offers easy access for any bathing and or grooming needs, no matter how big or small your pet may be. I can also crate your pet(s) upon request. Visits, pickups and drop offs are also available, safe and secure. I am currently working part time from home which makes me available around the clock. I enjoy walking and driving which opens the door to new parks and walking experiences throughout the Marin County area and beyond. I enjoy the 3 big 'W's. Wind, Wheels, and Water. I find that most animals also enjoy at least 1 if not all 3 so finding something to do or somewhere to go is an easy reach. If your pet(s) prefer to spend their time at home, with little to no real change in routine, that is fine too. I have a fenced yard which is secure and safe for small dogs as well as large dogs. Behind my home is open space which provides the option of enjoying a walk or playtime without having to be around other people or dogs. I am currently working from my home so your schedule can easily become my schedule so that I may accomodate you and your pet(s) needs 24/7. I have a spacious home and open space as an extension to my backyard which allows your pet to not have to deal with other pets or people whenever needed.

About: I have always been around pets, dogs, cats, hamsters and chicken! I am an animal lover that will take good care of your furry loved one’s. I work part time as a babysitter in the morning so I have free time in the afternoon . I’m also willing to stay overnight and weekends if needed. I offer company and playtime to the furry ones. I always make sure leashes and collars are properly fitted. Also, I make sure all doors are closed and locked.

About: I've fostered dogs in my home and cared for dogs and cats in other people's homes and am excited to do more of both! I got into housesitting several months ago and love getting to spend focused time and attention on animals while their people are away. While fostering dogs, I worked on light training - improving walking manners, comfort with strangers, and basic commands. I cared for my dogs for a few weeks to several months until they were adopted and loved getting updates from their new families about their progress. I make time for your animals as they need it! I work part time, which allows plenty of time for walks, playing fetch, cuddle sessions, and on-time meals. If temperament allows, I’ll take your pup with me to dog-friendly spots in town and along longer walking paths and trails. I'm new to California and settling in the area. I'm excited to explore different neighborhoods, meet cool people, and spend time with your furry friends. If I’m staying in your home, I’m in your best friends’ space. Whatever they’re used to, is what they’ll get, whether that’s permission (or not) to get on furniture, sleep with me in bed, and set our walking schedule.

“Josephine (JoJo) was great! She is reliable, punctual, friendly, and very sweet. She jumped right in to feed him and get him ready for his walks... Our dog loved her instantly and trusted her to go on walks and leave "mommy" behind. We will definitely be repeat customers!”

“Alejandrina is so great with Pepperoni!”

“Page was awesome and we would rebook her again! She was timely and communicative throughout our booking! As first time users of Rover, and Alfie's first time having a dog walker drop-in, she made it very easy for us to trust her and her experience walking small dogs. She went above and beyond our requests and provided detailed updates of her visits. Thank you so much Page for being a responsible and loving dog walker!”
