“Thank goodness for Kendi! A weight is lifted off my shoulders knowing I have someone so reliable to care for my dog! She responds quickly and gets the jobs done no problem!”

About: Hi, I’m Allyssa! I’ve been caring for both dogs and cats my entire life. I have experience walking, training, exercising, playing and socializing with dogs and cats of all ages/breeds/sizes. I am a very attentive, kind, caring and patient person. To me a dog or a cat is one hundred percent more than a pet, but an extension of you, and therefore very much a part of your family. It’s my privilege and pleasure to provide your pet with the highest quality of care and respect. Every dog or cat I’ve come in contact with I’ve treated as my own, and I take pride in giving animals the special attention that every pet deserves. I will be 100% committed to being there for you and your pet.

“Amazing as always. She was able to help at the last minute and walk my pups day upon request. Super kind and prompt when she noticed something wrong with one of my pups. My pups love her!”

About: I’m basically a lifelong fur-baby whisperer. I started caring for little paws and wagging tails when I was 8 years old, and I’ve been obsessed ever since. My chihuahua lived to an amazing 18 years old (yes, 18!) thanks to all the love, attention, and tender care he got - even through medicine routines and managing his skin cancer in his senior years. These days, I share my home with an 8-year-old Yorkie and a 4-year-old Border Collie–Poodle who are spoiled with cuddles, playtime, and all the cozy vibes. And now, I can’t wait to give that same level of love and care to your fur babies - treats, snuggles, routines, and all! I work from home on Wednesdays and Thursdays, which means extra love, attention, and snuggles for your fur baby. I’m off on weekends too, so they’ll get my full, undivided focus. I never let work get in the way of spoiling my own pups, and I’ll treat yours with that same level of care and affection! I’ll follow your care instructions to a T and make sure your fur baby has a fun, safe, and delightfully tiring time! Safety and trust are my top priorities. I always do a full sweep of my space to make sure everything is secure and fur-baby friendly. And of course, you’ll get plenty of photo and video updates - so you can relax knowing your little one is happy, safe, and living their best life!

“Ended up needing Kacee’s services same day since I wasn’t feeling well and she was able to work with me! She has been consistent in her care of Meaty and I couldn’t be more pleased! So glad I found her!”

About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was 10 years old, starting with my own family cat. I’ve also spent time pet-sitting for cats and dogs of family friends, which has helped me get comfortable with different personalities, sizes, and needs. I’m new to the Rover platform and excited to build my experience, so I’m actively looking to land dog walking and pet sitting opportunities. I’m also flexible with my rates as I get started and grow my client base. I truly love all pets — whether they’re playful, shy, big, or small. I understand how important it is for them to feel safe and not alone when you’re away. I’d love to help give your pets the attention, care, and affection they deserve, while also enjoying time with some very cute companions! I currently work full-time during the week and work from home on Fridays. I’m available to care for pets from Friday through Sunday, and during that time I can stay home to make sure they’re fully cared for and have plenty of attention. I live in a large, gated apartment community with a spacious dog park that includes obstacle courses and plenty of room for long walks and playtime. I keep a clean, comfortable living space where your pet will be safe, relaxed, and well cared for.
“Catherine is always so flexible! She takes lots of videos and pictures of my dog, so I know he's in excellent care. She's also always on time and Kudo is always so happy to see her! Thank you as always Catherine!”


“None better. This is clearly a person doing this because of her mad love for dogs. Our Bruno is difficult to those who do not love him...and skittish. But not around Kandis who truly is a dog whisperer. Am going to set she and Bruno up for a regular date!”

About: Many of my closest buddies are doggies! Most recently I had two toy fox terriers for a decade, I have sat with all range of breeds and ages. There is a saying about dogs and children gravitating toward a person, isn't there? My friends and clients can tell you that I am trustworthy and communicative. I am a person that has been told: "they usually don't like strangers/people/visitors, but they love you!" I have years of loving dogs, I don't have any at the moment because I recently moved back from Europe. I look forward to meeting your family member and giving them love and attention while you are away. I have my own car, a fairly flexible schedule, and can't wait to meet new furry friends.

“John was extremely good with the dogs, very knowledgeable on handling them. Communication was excellent and John was very flexible with walking them. I wouldn’t hesitate to use him again.”

“It’s a rainy day and Mango is not the biggest fan of walking in the rain, so the walk was postponed. Casey was flexible and spent some time playing with Mango and keeping her company instead! It was great having her!!”

“Found David last minute! He is flexible, dependable, and can follow instruction’s. He treats my dog like his own and trust him with his knowledge and care for pets!”

“Naomi has been wonderful. We have a husky who is a big dog and loves her walk every single time they go on one. My pup comes back tired and ready for her nap. My second dog Freya is super skeptical of humans and other dogs but Naomi was super easy to introduce and Freya took an immediate liking to her! So glad to have you be able to walk them and they love their adventure each time.”

About: Hi! I am Kelsey and I love all kinds of animals! I grew up with big dogs all my life (had a Rottweiler, German Shepard and a boxer Great Dane), so definitely not afraid of bigger pets! I have also taking care of smaller dogs and medium size dogs as well as animals with a wide range of personalities (more reserved and defensive pets to the types that want to be everyone’s best friends). Most recently pet sit for a rottie mix :), who was more reserved and had leash anxiety - through talking with the owner and understanding the dog we ran into no incidents together and became besties! I’m a huge animal lover and promise to take very good care of your pets. I currently work part time at a restaurant and have a very flexible schedule. I will prioritize taking care of your pets over anything! Just need at least two days in advance notice :) I would give your pets exercise whether a walk around the neighborhood or even just playing ball. I would also follow the feeding schedule you have set for them strictly. Best part of the job is cuddles (I don’t know if they will be more excited for them or me). Lots of pets and cuddling is guaranteed for your pets.
Universal City dog parents share their Rover experiences
Heather has been super easy to partner up with as she walks my two pups. One is a bit frantic about everything and the other is a super easy go happy husky. So happy to have Heather be a continued source of physical and environmental stimulation for my pups! Super communicative and mindful!

Bryana was so helpful and kind ! We had an emergency our walker got sick and couldn’t come while we were away on business. What a mess. All of the neighbors were also out of town :(. Bryana came in and handled it. And Marley loved her ! I was so happy that she was there I felt 100 percent confident she was the right choice.
