“Ambrosia was very nice, and I loved our initial meet-up. She made sure to get acquainted with my girls, walked with us, and took the time to understand their personalities and needs. When it was time for their walk, the girls were excited to go with Ambrosia, which made me feel comfortable and confident leaving them in her care. I will definitely choose Ambrosia again in the future!”
About: We have a large home with a very safe fenced backyard. Lot’s of grass to play & run. We are recently retired & your dog will be loved like our own. Our 2 Papillon's Bella & Mia passed away @ 14 & 15 years old. We have decided to love our Rover dogs & not get another dog of our own for now. Cuddling on the couch for some cozy time is enjoyed by all. Your dog will never be left alone. With two of us there is always someone home. We have become small dog specialists & only care for the smaller ones. Senior care is no problem. We have a lot of experience with older dogs of our own & Rover parents trusting us with their care. We have a soft spot in our hearts for dogs & treat them like family. We look forward to giving you updates through pictures and texts while you’re away. Our time is devoted to making your dogs stay the best experience possible. We love cuddles or if they are independent, that’s ok too! Toy time is always fun. Walks along the lovely trail near our home are included, if you choose? Frequent potty breaks are offered all day. Relax knowing how secure our backyard is. There are trees for shade & many places for sun as well. We have hardwood flooring & several dog beds for comfort.
About: Home full time! Currently no pets, but I’ve had little dogs, big dogs, and cats in my family since I was a kid! Super reliable and friendly. I work remotely. Makes it extremely easy to care for any fur babies! I put in the same time and effort I would put in with my own animals. For walking, pet sitting, and/or drop in visits, I am capable of executing your needs to the fullest! Any specific instructions are greatly appreciated. I treat your home and your pets as if they were my own.
“Trinity is a 5-star dog walker. Our dog, Maya, absolutely loved her from the moment she met her! Trinity encouraged a “meet and greet” and that was so reassuring to see Maya be at ease with her immediately. Trinity was on-time, let us know when she arrived, posted their walking route, posted cute pictures of Maya, and information on how Maya was doing. She is awesome and goes way beyond what I hoped for. Trinity is a serious pet lover. She is so reliable and trustworthy! She deserves more than 5 stars!!! You and your pet will love her!”

Currently, my pets, Luna and Nala, are staying with family in Southern California while I’m on a temporary assignment in Northern California. I have experience with walking, feeding, bathing, and even caring for pets with special needs.

About: I have been taking care of dogs, cats and other pets since I was a child. Pets quickly warm up to me and begin bonding with me. Whenever my family and friends get new pets or when I have met them for the first time, the dogs and cats quickly take a liking to me, warm up to me and bond with me, often following me around and coming to me when they want to be fed or let in and out of the house. My availability is very free and flexible every week. I am available on weekends also. I keep my calendar availability up to date every week. In my home, my two medium-sized dogs are mostly indoor dogs who spend most of their time indoors and have a doggy door to go into our backyard whenever they want to go potty, play and roam around. They also go for walks every day. In my clients' homes, I would always make sure to treat their pets with the same love, attention, care and respect that my pets get.
About: I grew up in a home with my parents being dog breeders, behavioral coaching, and dog showmanship. I later went on to rescue and foster cats and animals. Over the years I’ve been animals-sat for families ranging from dogs, cats, chickens, and fish. I’m looking forward to meeting your fur baby and creating a comfortable stress free environment while you’re away. I currently work part-time and it’s primarily remote with the occasional work event. Events typically run on the weekends for 4-5 hours. On Tuesdays and Thursdays I’m out of the house from 2-5pm. I’m an early riser and late sleeper with no issues on working around your animals schedule. I have 2 parks within walking distance and a back open berm behind my home. My backyard is fully fenced in and very spacious. I have the ability to crate your dog and allocate a feed and water area. I live on a quiet street and I have no worries with walking your animal multiple times a day or working around a specific feeding schedule.

Ambrosia was very nice, and I loved our initial meet-up. She made sure to get acquainted with my girls, walked with us, and took the time to understand their personalities and needs. When it was time for their walk, the girls were excited to go with Ambrosia, which made me feel comfortable and confident leaving them in her care. I will definitely choose Ambrosia again in the future!
We had a great experience with Alyssa! For about 10 days, she handled our two 65-lb dogs confidently and with care, took them on their walks and made sure they were fed afterward. She was always punctual, communicative, and thoughtful throughout the process. I especially appreciated the photo updated and texts during the walks, along with any questions or comments when needed. This gave us a real peace of mind. Highly recommended!
Right away, I could sense that Lisa was a caring and empathetic animal person, and my Toby (who is friendly but shy), took to her immediately. She took him on his favorite route, to his favorite park, and he really enjoyed his morning walk with her! Definitely 💯% booking again… in fact, we already have future walking plans! Thanks, Lisa 😊
