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.”

About: As an experienced pet caretaker, I understand that leaving your pet in someone else’s care can be difficult. Rest assured that they’ll get the same amount of attention, respect, & care you would give them yourself. I’m currently available and have a flexible schedule. I am always open to work with clients schedules. I know how important routines are in a pets life. I understand how important respect and privacy are valued while visiting with pets. You can feel confident that I’ll take great care in your absence.
About: I'm flexible and easy to work with. I have experience with kittens and puppies, and I love all types of animals. My goal is to treat your pet exactly how you would treat them. I'll follow your instructions to the letter and take care of your pets as if their my own. I'm a freelancer with exceptionally flexible hours. Generally I'll be available whenever you need me. That includes weekends and holidays. Happy to pop on over to take care of your buddy any time I'm needed. I have four of my own pets: two corgis, and two gray and white kitties. All four of them live inside with me 24/7, so I'm used to fielding conflict, taking the dogs outside frequently, and playing with pets. I'm also used to meeting special meal regimens or medication needs from different experiences in my pets lives. You never know when they might need special attention.
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.

“Ava may be new to Rover, but she has already earned my wholehearted trust—and five very enthusiastic stars. Halfway through our trip to LA, we realized our first dog walker wasn’t the right fit for Lillie. Things were difficult enough that I worried we’d have to change our vacation plans. Then Ava stepped in and turned everything around. She made an instant connection with Lillie and showered her with affection. Seeing Lillie so comfortable with her gave me such peace of mind. By their final visit, I could see them both lingering, neither quite ready to say goodbye. If you’re considering Ava, please don’t let her being new to the platform give you pause. She was wonderful with Lillie, and I recommend her with all my heart. Whenever we’re back in LA, Ava will be my first call.”

“Elizabeth was so wonderful with my energetic golden doodle, Lemon! I am a full-time dog walker myself, but rarely need someone to walk my own dog, so i was a little nervous. I contacted Elizabeth and she was able to set up a meet and greet the same day and put all my worries at ease. She was prompt and communicative on her visit, and Lemon was so happy in the picture and when we got home! I highly recommend her as a dog walker and will be using again! ?”


About: I've been caring for dogs for over 20 years and have been surrounded by animals my entire life. I grew up with dogs, trained my own, and provided pet sitting and dog walking for friends, family, and neighbors for many years. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each dog's unique personality and believe every pet deserves patient, attentive, and loving care. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or simply some extra companionship, I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. I'm comfortable caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments. I have experience with puppies, high-energy dogs, reactive dogs, and administering oral medications. I'm committed to following your pet's routine and adapting to their individual needs so you can have peace of mind knowing they're in good hands. I am currently working part time in the afternoons, so I have all morning and evenings to walk, play, and hang out with your dog! I am also available all day on weekends. When in your home, I would love to take your pets for walks, to dog parks, anything you already do with them to make them the most comfortable! I have a fenced yard with a dog. Depending on your pet, I would want to speak with you on what makes your pet and you the most comfortable.
“Dana is amazing with our two dogs Marty and Wally! She has done regular dog walking and an extended pet sitting job for them this year. I feel great knowing how much she loves them and looks after them like her own! And they are always so happy after her visits! I highly recommend Dana!”


About: Hi, my name is Rein! I’m new to this app but have been using wag! I've loved animals from an early age and would be happy to walk or watch your pup. I'm also available for boarding, where your dog will be treated like family and spoiled with plenty of attention, playtime, and care while you're away. I'm home most of the time, and I enjoy walking dogs as a form of exercise. I also worked for a dog-grooming company for about two years, so I'm comfortable handling dogs and staying calm in challenging situations. The only thing you'll have to worry about is your pup coming home with a toy or two, a full tummy, and lots of happy memories! I also make pumpkin treats for dogs. Boarding with me will feel like a vacation for your pet just like it is for you! If Spanish is your preferred language, please let me know. My fiancé is Hispanic, and we'd be happy to help make communication easier. I do have a kitten but she hides under the bed and hardly comes out! I work part-time at a retail Job so I work no more then 3 days a week which makes my schedule very welcoming for some fur babies. I love being outside and going to pet friendly cafes! At my apartment your fur babies will have a bed, food and water bowl, as well as toys. I live in a 1bd 1bath with my partner and when I am working she is always home so your fur babies will never be alone more than an hour at most! I love taking all the pictures and when your pet stays with me more than 2 weeks I usually love to create a file with printed photos because I know how worrying it can be to leave your fur babies with someone new. Now before you book with me My apartment does lack furniture at the moment but your pet will not need or want for anything.
About: Been a dog owner all my life so I know how to read a dog's mood or figure out what it is they need. I have now been a rover sitter for 6 years and during my time have met and watched so many different breeds, each with their own quirks and needs. The well being of the dog in my care is the utmost importance. I love to play with them, give plenty of scratches and take them on nice walks in my neighborhood to make sure they're living a happy and healthy life. All pups are kept clean, fed and stress free while they’re here. I'm also almost always home and I live with my family so someone is always here just in case I need to leave the house. Our home is filled with huge animal lovers so your dog will have a good time and be treated just like family :) Honestly I just love dogs so much and know how nerve wracking/stressful it can be leaving your fur baby while you’re away so I make it my priority that they are safe and happy and taken care of so that when it’s time to pick them up they will feel like they were on their own lil vacation too! I work from home so I’m almost always here and can easily take the dogs out when they need or provide playtime but in the rare case that I do need to leave the house I either take the pups with me or a family member stays with them while I leave the house. I live in an apartment that’s pretty secure and closed off, I’ve never had any safety issues with the dogs. In the event that a pup runs out the door, the way my apartment is structured with locks and doors that would keep them from running out of the building

“Bailey was terrific! Went above and beyond in taking care of my dog Channy. Took her on nice long walks, played with her and made sure she drank some water. Will definitely be calling back!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Universal City
Sarah was wonderful with Sasha. Finding someone who’s comfortable and confident handling a dog his size is really important to me. Sarah was friendly and easy to communicate with, and I really appreciated her taking the time to get acquainted with Sasha. It was a great first experience, and I’m looking forward to having her walk him again. Highly recommend.
