About: I have been the go-to pet sitter for my large family & friends for years and just decided to see if anyone else would need the service. I have no pets or kids but I am a pet lover in a nice home with a big fenced in yard. I like hanging out with the pets like little buddies, getting some days of cuddles and then sending them home 😅. It’s the perfect way to get some fur baby time until I’m ready for my next dog or cat in the future. This is not a business for me, it’s something I have enjoyed doing for my family and friends, and if you want your beloved pet to be in a calm but fun, comfortable environment while you’re away, I can extend my service to you. I recently started doing home stays/drop ins for the pet sitting too and enjoyed it. I currently have a really flexible schedule with a lot of availability. I live with my dad that occasionally says hi if the dog or cat is friendly but mostly the house is big enough that they never cross paths. I have a fenced in yard and a big house with a lot of space that I can also section off by closing doors. I typically take the animals out several times a day, feed them, and let them roam around the house or snuggle with me. I like when pet owners bring a bed for their pets so I can make them their own space but they’re welcome to chill with me in whatever I’m doing. I’m youthful, active, and responsible. I have a naturally friendly, calm demeanor that animals and people respond well to. I have no pets right now but used to have a pit/black lab mix that I loved dearly so I love pits and other breeds with historically bad reputations. I frequently sit my aunt’s beagle mix who’s just a little old pup that sparked my interest for pet sitting cuz it was so fun to have visits from him. He and my old dog are in a bunch of my pics. With all animals I just try to make them comfortable and let them feel at home.

“Jessica is amazing! Our dog Gabby stayed with her during the day and they got to enjoy nice walks, go to the park and get lots of play time. Jessica kept us updated during the day and sent us lots of cute pictures. Gabby is excited to see her again!”

“Jennifer was great with my anxious dog. Very kind and understanding! I appreciated her willingness to do a meet and greet before the first walk!”

About: I've been around dogs all my life and love giving them plenty of play time and attention. I also just recently gained experience with puppies. They are my favorites 🙂‍↕️ Availability: Wednesday: 8am to 10:30am/ 5pm to 10pm Thursday: 5pm to 10pm Open availability on Friday, Saturday and Sunday If you have any questions or requests outside of my schedule, I will do my best to work with you. I am a student in college currently. I typically do drop ins, I feed according to how the owner wants their pet fed, I play with them as much as possible and give plenty of love and attention

“Melainie is so great with our chihuahua mix, Bowser. Bowser is a great judge of character and is very selective with who he will allow to rub his belly and he loved Melainie the second he met her!”

About: Dogs are my kind of people, loyal, silly, soulful, and always ready for a good walk or cuddle. I bring genuine enthusiasm to every visit, whether it’s tossing a tennis ball for the fifth time or patiently encouraging a shy pup to come out of their shell. Because I truly love dogs, I pay close attention to their routines, moods, and energy levels. Whether it’s a rambunctious retriever or a slow-strolling senior, I adapt my care to what makes them happiest and healthiest. Your dog isn’t just a client they become part of my daily joy. Pet care blends seamlessly into my daily rhythm, acting as gentle checkpoints that anchor my routine. Feeding, cleaning, and playtime create consistency, while weekly tasks like grooming or toy rotation keep things fresh. These moments build a quiet connection between me and my pet and often serve as welcome pauses in a busy day. For happy, healthy pets at home, stick to consistent routines, clean litter boxes and feeding schedules for cats, daily walks and playtime for dogs. Offer cozy spaces, rotate toys, and check their health regularly. A bit of structure and love goes a long way for any furry friend.

About: I’ve worked as a dog groomer and at a dog kennel and I’ve also had lots of personal pets of my own from Puppies, Kittens, elder dogs with medications. So I can give your pets medications along with grooming and taking care of them in the aspect of making sure they’re healthy from working in a veterinary clinic in the grooming department. I am completely open, I have a pet cat that lives with my grandma so she’s taken care of fully so I can take care of your pets as needed as much as possible! I can take care of what you need in every aspect, whether you need your dog washed, nails trimmed, brush teeth, cat nail clipping, anything you ask I can bring and do for you for extra if needed! I also have a traveling pet bath with waterless shampoo and brush set for a good grooming if your pet needs it!

“Chelsea did an amazing job walking my pup Leo. She was so responsive and sent updates which always makes me feel at ease. My pup is a nervous Nellie around other dogs and she did a wonderful job managing his behavior. Couldn’t recommend enough!!”

Nicole P.

“Sydney was awesome! She took a lot of super cute photos and was communicative and respectful. I would highly recommend her for your next walk!”

“We have been working with Haani for a month so far. She's so great with Gus! Since she started working with Gus, he's gotten better at understanding and listening to commands and not pulling when he's on his leash. He's always so happy to see her! Haani communicates well and is really reliable. We're excited to keep working with her.”

About: I have had dogs of my own since I was 9 years old. I LOVE dogs--especially small ones! I have trained all of my dogs. I board friends' dogs in my home all the time, and am now excited to move into boarding strangers' dogs here on Rover! I work full-time, a mix of in-office and at home. I work from home on Thursdays and have flexibility on Fridays, so it works best for me to be able to provide boarding on long weekends (Thursday-Sunday). I am happy to provide your pet with seamless care and match what they are used to in your home. I have a large yard and a quiet neighborhood. My home has many rooms and I have some gates so that I can separate pets if needed. I also have a puppy play pen for smaller/younger pups who need their own space.

“Skylab walked our dog 3 days in a row. Shawnee loved going with her and she was very dependable. We were so thankful for her help. We would highly recommend her.”

About: Grew up taking care of animals — have always had dogs (big and small, puppy to adult) and grew up around a farm, so I am comfortable around different animals. I am familiar with their needs, behavioral queues, and differences. I work from home most days, so I could easily work from the hosts home, or host the dog with me (shorter periods of time). The dog can free roam in my apartment, there is no issues with furniture. I have enough space to play with them inside, and work flexibility to give frequent walks. I live in an apartment with a fenced in backyard. Other neighbors have dogs and regularly let them sniff around back there with no issue, though I would not leave the dog unattended back there and would opt for regular walks.

“Krystal continues to do an excellent job walking our dog, Taters. Taters is always excited to see Krystal coming, and Krystal has been flexible and accommodating when our schedules changed and we needed to reschedule walks. She’s easy to work with and is clearly great with dogs!”

About: I would squeal when I saw my dog every morning. It made him so happy to see me, he'd pee! That's how much I love them and they love me! I've taken care of dogs for most of my life, even through some pretty serious health issues. I had to leave our family pets at home in Wisconsin when I came to California for college. Playing with your pets and taking great care of them will help fill a void in my heart. Life is just better with dogs in it! I am a college student and kept my schedule open to have time for a part-time job. I am available during the week and weekends and can be flexible depending on your needs. I know how important it is to exercise dogs, especially big ones, so if they need exercise, I'm super active and would love to go for walks or play fetch. If rest and snuggles is what your pet needs, I'd love to do that, too. And I'll make sure to clean up any messes they make when I'm with them.
