“May took excellent care of our dog for the 5 days we were out of town. The communication was great and we enjoyed the daily photo/video updates. Will definitely book again.”
“Michael did an AMAZING job taking care of our dog. Very conscientious and careful, he took her on lots of walks and went above and beyond to ensure she was comfortable at his home. This was our first pet sitting experience and he really put us at ease. He also sent photos everyday and we felt our dog was watched after as one of his own. Great job!”
“Takako and her husband were amazing! This was my first time leaving Gracie and they made me feel so comfortable about everything. I received daily updates and photos from Takako and they took such good care of Gracie. It was so easy to coordinate with them. I will definitely have them watch Gracie again in the future. I highly recommend!!”
“Churro had a great time at Kimberly’s🐶💚 It was our first time leaving Churro with someone outside of family and we were extremely nervous, but Kimberly’s warm, friendly and sweet personality won us (esp Churro!) over and her daily pictures and check-ins gave us such a relief and peace of mind while we were away. Churro even made new friends and I think he was genuinely happy to be a part of Kimberly’s pack. She is a genuine dog lover and I’m so grateful I found such a gem of a person/family on Rover to take such amazing care of my baby 🩷 Thank you so much for all your love and awesomeness!!! 🩵💙💜🤍”
“Danielle & her family were amazing!!!! Extremely communicative, flexible, and kind when watching my 5-year-old (often anxious) foxhound. She had no issue when my pickup and drop off times kept changing, and even fed her some of their dog’s food (after getting our permission) when she ran out during Clementine’s stay (our fault - we miscounted). Clementine seemed super at ease staying there and we will definitely be using Danielle again in the future :)”
“Ruda is professional, and provides a truly safe and trusting environment for pets . We felt completely comfortable leaving Joy in their care. Both Nicole and Ruda are game with pet care instructions to a T and they kept us updated with walks, meals, and photos, so we always knew how Joy was doing. You can tell they genuinely care about the pets they board. We had a wonderful experience boarding Joy with them . We felt completely comfortable leaving Joy in their care.”
“Yating took good care of my cat Sofi for the second time! It’s always reassuring to leave Sofi with someone she already knows and trusts, and Yating provided such thoughtful and attentive care again.”
“thank you, Anna for your care of Sadie! We got great uodates with photos, all instructions were followed, and everything went very smooth! Sadie seems excited to go back and enjoy the big yard again :)”
“Meredith is the perfect person to take care of your dog while you are away. I'm so so thankful I found her. Neptune was treated like her own and I loved all of the pictures and updates she sent every day. Thank you Meredith!”
“Nicole and her family were absolutely amazing, I highly recommend her! Nicole is incredibly kind and is clearly really good with dogs. She took care of our Australian Shepherd Obi-wan over the Christmas holidays and really went above and beyond caring for him and keeping us updated the entire time. Our dog is very high energy and her dog Teddy was a perfect playmate, they have a wonderful backyard and doggie door for them to run around in. Nicole sent us several pictures and videos every day, and gave us detailed information about how he was settling in. It was so comforting to know that he was well taken care of while we were away! In addition to playtime with Teddy they also took Obi on a hike and were very attentive to all of his needs. We feel so lucky to have found such a great place for our dog and will definitely board with her again!”
“Very happy with our experience. Our dog had a great time with Ryan's family. Ryan was easy to communicate with and he was very accommodating when our travel plans changed unexpectedly at the last minute and we had to extend the boarding for a few days.”
“Mayank is incredible with my sweet Daisy girl. I have boarded with them more than once, and I always receive regular updates & pictures. Daisy has the time of her life.”
“My dog had a great experience with Alix and her family! She was so happy. Alix sent pictures and gave me updates through out my dogs stay. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing that Honey was happy and safe. I would recommend her to anyone wanting a safe, comfortable place for their dogs.”
“Alina was an amazing sitter for our 80 lb lab! She was so professional, providing daily updates with photos and videos. Alina’s positive energy was genuine and it was clear our dog was very comfortable with her and her family. I highly recommend Alina!!”
“Corinne and Christopher are great Rover sitters. They were very responsive to messages and most importantly took great care of my girl Busaba. I felt like she was in good hands. I would definitely recommend them and would use them again.”
“I would leave 6 stars if I could. Luciane took good care of our puppies, who were clearly very well loved during their stay. Booking was easy, communication was great, and the photos she sent were absolutely heartwarming. She had treats and toys and puzzles for the dogs... I couldn't recommend her enough. Thank you so much!”
“Wei is really great! He took care of our dogs very well. Also he successfully manage to feed my dog medication, which is really helpful. Our dogs were having a lot of fun with Wei.”
About: My name is Gabi! I’m a dog lover with experience caring for both puppies and senior dogs. I raised my own from puppyhood and have also fostered/cared for senior dogs, so I have experience caring for dogs at every stage of life. I provide personalized care based on each dog’s routine and personality to help them feel comfortable and at home. Due to allergies, I can only care for hypoallergenic dog breeds. Thanks for understanding! To ensure every dog gets the attention they deserve, I take no more than 2 dogs at a time and will be home full time with your pets during their stay. Your fur babies will receive plenty of care, supervision, and love while they stay with me. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. Our home is quiet, clean, and dog-friendly, with no stairs and dog beds in every room, so your pet always has a comfortable place to relax. My own dog is calm and friendly with other dogs and happily welcomes fellow friendly pups. I will provide regular updates with photos and videos while you are away. My goal is to make your dog feel safe and comfortable during their staycation with us.

“She took such great care of our boys. We got amazing photos everyday and updates. We didn’t have to worry at all knowing that she was taking care of them. We will definitely use her again!”
“Karen is caring, reliable, and a great communicator. She has taken wonderful care of my cat Romeow when I am out of town. I really appreciate her flexibility and her detailed updates! It is great to know he is in good hands when I travel, and I would definitely recommend her for all your cat sitting needs.”
“Devon is the best! She always takes such amazing care of our cats while we’re away, and she’s always really reliable and is generally awesome. I highly recommend working with her :)”
“Very happy repeat customer - once again, Min took incredible care of Nova and Calcifer and went above and beyond our expectations. Loved the photo and video updates to keep us reassured that our cats are doing great. Highly recommend Min!”
About: I have had pets, including both cats and dogs, my entire life, so caring for animals has always been a big part of who I am. I truly love animals and care very deeply about their happiness, comfort, and well-being. I’m patient, attentive, and affectionate, and I understand how important it is to have someone you trust looking after your pet. I’ll always make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away! I currently work full time from 8-4 monday-friday. I am free on the weekends and on weekdays after 4 to walk or do check ins. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always do my best to keep them comfortable and stick to their normal routine. I follow any instructions provided regarding feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and any other specific needs they may have. I make sure they get plenty of attention, affection, and exercise while also respecting their personality and boundaries. I’m very attentive and responsible, and I’ll treat both your pet and your home with the same care and respect I would my own.
About: 🔔 Owners, please read entire profile, as it contains very important information about what to expect, guidelines and requirements for your dogs stay! ***Drop off and Pick up windows must be no longer than 30 minutes*** I spent 10 years managing a large property in the Rancho Santa Fe area that had multiple breeds, sizes and ages of dogs. As part of my many managerial duties I oversaw the personal care, vet appointments and individual schedules of all of these beloved family pets. They were all an absolute joy and I’m happy to be able to offer the same level of care to your furry family members as well. ✔️New to Rover? Enjoy $20 off of your first stay! Just use code RUDAV63279 at checkout.👌🏼 I work from home, so pet care can very easily integrate into my current schedule. I regularly step away from my computer to take breaks, so taking a furry friend out for a walk is an added bonus! I will host up to 2 pets a night, I have separate gated areas in my home to ensure food schedules are calm and peaceful while keeping everyone happy as they’re being slowly integrated with one another, everyone is safe and secure at all times. All pets cared for must be potty trained, spayed/neutered, have absolutely no aggression issues towards other animals or people, are not constant barkers or cry and bark due to separation anxiety. ***Aggression issues and separation anxiety of any kind are non-negotiable.*** If your pet has any level of this type of behavior, it’s not the right fit for my home. It’s very important to maintain a calm, peaceful and safe environment for everyone sharing the space. For overnight boarding, pets will sleep downstairs in the main living room area on their own bed/crate, pets will not be permitted to be on furniture or in the upstairs bedroom areas. VERY IMPORTANT: Also, please make sure that all personal care, vet and emergency contact info is up to date on your pets profile as well. Vet and Emergency contact info are required before I will accept a booking.
“Marisa was so kind and patient with my dogs! She was quick to handle a difficult situation with my sick puppy. She was so kind and I was so appreciative of how she handled everything!”
About: I have two cats of my own, each with their own special needs. One requires medication via syringe in the mouth, eye drops, and even spoon-feeding nightly. The other one just likes to eat.... I'll make sure your cat(s) are taken care of and loved, even if it means I get in trouble with my own cats.
About: I'm very comfortable around cats and understand that they have different needs than dogs, especially around routine and low-stress handling. I'm attentive to litter box maintenance, feeding schedules, and fresh water, and I know cats often prefer a calm, unhurried visit rather than a lot of noise or disruption. I pay close attention to each cat's comfort level and won't force interaction if a cat prefers space. I follow your instructions closely for feeding, medication, or specific care needs, and I always make sure doors and windows are secure before I leave. I'll send photo updates each visit so you know your cat is safe and well cared for.
“Paz was amazing! She took care of everything, that I asked her to do. Sent pictures during the visits. And my cat wasn’t meowing much after leaving him for 4 days, which is a huge win. Very happy with the results.”
“Audrey was so great with our sweet cat, Milo. She is exceptionally timely, provides great updates and photos, and super resourceful - helping us troubleshoot an issue with our autofeeder. We are super appreciative. This was our second time working with Audrey, and we will again!”
“Patricia is so kind and easy to talk to! She took great care of my cat while I was out of town and gave me updates each day to let me know how things were going.”
About: I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family and friends. I am pretty open nowadays. Ready to take care of your furry babies as much as needed! Also, have my helpers ( my kids off school, are ready to help)! Right now I am open to come and take care of your pets! Always willing to come first to get to know your pets, and introduce myself. Folowing the rules and instructions- that’s number one priority. Safety, Trust, Care and Love only!
“Daisy is hands down the best pet sitter I’ve ever had! My senior dog is pretty high maintenance, she takes medications, has a complicated feeding routine, and has separation anxiety/hard time opening up to strangers but she immediately warmed up to Daisy. I appreciated all the pictures and prompt updates she sent me while I was away, I can’t recommend her enough.”
About: I have lived with so many different animals, I am highly observant. I can quickly pick up on subtle changes in a pet's mood or health, ensuring they feel safe and understood while you are away. I am College student who has entered his summer break. I want to use this time to enjoy my time with pets and earn cash. I provide attentive, personalized care tailored to each pet’s unique routine. Whether at your home or mine, I ensure a safe, nurturing environment with plenty of play, companionship, and reliable consistency.
“I cannot recommend Brianna enough as a pet sitter! She took care of my cat, Henry, while I was away, and her attentiveness and care were truly outstanding. Brianna kept me updated with regular pictures and videos, which not only let me see how happy and well-cared-for Henry was but also gave me so much peace of mind. She clearly loves what she does and took the time to make Henry feel comfortable and cared for. Knowing I could trust her completely made my time away so much easier. If you’re looking for someone reliable, compassionate, and dedicated, Brianna is absolutely the best choice. Thank you, Brianna, for going above and beyond!”
“When my husband and I brought home our puppy, Bridget, our biggest concern was how she would be cared for while we’re at work. Alice and Trey alleviated any worries and then some! They are communicative, attentive, and treat Bridget like one of their own. I can go to work with total confidence and peace of mind that she is well cared for and enjoying fresh air, exercise, and socialization. They have been nothing short of a blessing for us as our pup grows!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Zhongyu! She was incredibly reliable, communicative, and gentle with our cat. She sent detailed updates and photos during each visit, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We would absolutely book with her again.”
“Oh wow! On top of already being a wonderful sitter with drop-in visits, there was an emergency (saw on my pet cam) at my place when our litter-robot malfunctioned :( Texted Caitlin last minute and she immediately came over that same day to try to fix it. When fixing didn’t work, she also went out of her way to go to the store and bought a litter box when the litter-robot stayed broken. She’s seriously AMAZING! Thank you so much for your time and effort, Caitlin! Truly recommend her as a sitter!!”

“I needed a place for my fur baby to stay while my housekeepers were cleaning and I contacted Ruda. He responded right away and was able to provide daycare for my dog with 24 hour notice. You can tell Ruda is a "dog person" and he took very good care of my boy and took him on walks even though he didn't have a very long stay at his home. Drop off and pick up was super easy too. Thanks Ruda! We will be coming back again.”
“Alana was awesome with our dog Teddy! We have a very fearful and reactive dog, but he felt immediately at home with Alana. She provided constant updates and made us feel very comfortable. We will definitely be reaching out again!”
“I am thrilled to have found Deborah on Rover. My little newly adopted rescue dog has separation anxiety and I’ve needed to have her in daycare several times a week. Deborah and her family and dog, Teddy, have provided a second home for my pup. She has thrived in the safe, caring, loving environment of their home. Deborah is reliable and responsive, and has been very accommodating to my needs. She is cheerful, friendly and kind, always giving me peace of mind while I’m away.”
“Angelica took such great care of our 4 month old puppy, Tapioca. She sent us pictures throughout the day and took him on 3 walks! Plus, their dachshund, Copper, was also wonderful playmate. We will definitely reach out again for dog sitting with Angelica.”
“Kimberly and her family are absolutely FANTASTIC! I only trust my pup, Rizzo, in their care. They treat him as one of their own and I feel so incredibly lucky for them! Thank you!!!’”
About: I grew up around dogs and caring for them comes naturally to me. My partner and I share a comfortable home with a fenced backyard and our own friendly, dog-social husky, who makes a wonderful companion for visiting dogs. Having a husky, I’m especially comfortable with high-energy breeds and know how to keep active dogs exercised, engaged, and happy. Because there are two of is and we’re flexible during the day, your down is rarely left alone. There’s almost always someone home for feeding, play, and cuddles. I come from a hospitality and food-service background, so attentive care, cleanliness, and clear communication are things I take seriously. I’ll send plenty of photo updates so you can relax knowing your dog is safe and having fun. I treat every dog like a member of the family, and I’d love to do the same for yours! My partner and I both have flexible daytime schedules, so there’s almost always someone to feed, walk, and play with your dog. We can accommodate your dog’s normal routine, whether that means early morning walks, midday play, or evening cuddles. We plan our own schedules around our boarding guests, so your dog gets consistent attention and is rarely left alone during their stay. Our home has a securely fenced backyard where dogs can play and burn energy safely, and our friendly husky makes a great companion for social guests. We keep the space clean and dog-proofed, with fresh water always available and secure fencing so no one slips out. We’re comfortable crating if that’s part of your dog’s routine, and we’re happy to follow your feeding, medication, and exercise instructions closely. Dogs are never left unattended in the yard, and we send regular photo updates so you always know your pup is safe and content.
About: I’ve loved animals since I was a kid! I have volunteered for my local animal shelter and have experience fostering puppies and animals recovering from surgeries! My house is filled with love by my two cats and dog, all rescued! <3 I work from home full time, with a dedicated office space with plenty of dog beds, and a fenced in bark yard. I go on about a 2-mile walk a day with my pupper, Irwin, and am usually home the rest of the day! On the weekends we might be gone from 3-4 hours at times! I have a fenced yard and a very friendly Catahoula Leopard Dog who absolutely lovesssss friends. I am very flexible and can make whatever schedule you need work.
“Danielle was great! Very responsive and went out of her way to make sure I felt comfortable leaving my pup with her! He had a great time at her place and came back so tired from playing all day (exactly what I wanted!). She sent pictures/videos throughout the day too!”
“Caity was super responsive when it came to trying to book daycare for my dog! Her dog got along with mine super well, and they loved to play. She gave me updates while he was there, and for the meet and greet she hung out with my dog for an hour so we could make sure he would do okay, and I could run some errands!”
About: “I’ve been caring for my own three dogs for over 13 years, giving me extensive hands-on experience with feeding, walking, grooming, and basic training. Over the years, I’ve learned how to understand different dog personalities, recognize their needs, and make them feel safe, loved, and happy. Whether it’s playtime, long walks, or simply providing companionship, I truly enjoy spending time with dogs and treating them like part of my family. I am currently working part time. I am available to provide pet care every day — morning and afternoon — including walks, feeding, and playtime. “In my home, I make sure every pet feels comfortable and safe. I provide a clean, cozy space, fresh water, regular feeding, and plenty of playtime and walks. I follow each owner’s routine closely to make pets feel right at home and keep them happy and relaxed.”
About: Wondering why my rate might be different than another sitter’s? Rover takes a huge portion of the price you see listed. Please feel free to message me about services i can provide or waive; and I am more than willing to negotiate a fair price depending on the level of care your pup needs! I am able to provide a luxury boarding service at a beautiful, large, home with a massive pet safe backyard! We even have a pool if your pup loves to swim. I provide basic training (unless you prefer I don’t!) and I have a bachelors in art from a prestigious university- so I will provide as many photos and videos as you’d like for free- and can also offer photo shoot and portrait painting (either digital or traditional) services, which can be great for getting your pup at their most comfortable when meeting a photographer or painter! (Since Rover is now claiming copyright over my own photos of your pups, any photoshoot photos with great potential for paintings will need to be sent to you separately if you request them!) I can provide one on one time, I never leave dogs alone unless requested, and I provide your dog all the cuddles and playtime they want! Since it can be better for both me and you, we can negotiate rates for all services based on your preferences- I won’t ask you to pay for something your pup wouldn’t benefit from! I am American Red cross Cat and Dog First Aid certified, updated very recently. I’ve taken care of my family pets since I was four years old, and got my first dog of my own, a teacup yorkie named Sophie, who was my support dog when I was around 13 years old. Ever since then I’ve had a wonderful support dog named Tommy, and now I currently am training my dog Stevie and my puppy, Chloe to be psychiatric service dogs, working with a professional trainer who thinks I’m a natural! I am a great trainer and I am more than happy to offer that service if you’d like, but i’m not a certified trainer yet! I know pet first aid and cpr. I also had another puppy who lived for just under a year, who passed during a routine anesthesia procedure, which was devastating, but now I know she lives on in my puppy Chloe. I am disabled (chronic lower back pain) but i have mobility aids, can walk around your home/my home unaided, can carry small dogs if requested, and can take your pup out as many times as you’d like. I have a HUGE backyard with plenty of grass, and so I can play with the pups/be outside with them as much as you’d like! Currently in the house here I have Stevie and Chloe, but they can be crated/in a separate part of the house as much as you’d like. I will have one of my parents home so they can keep them 100% completely out of sight if that’s your preference! I’m looking to become a dogsitter because, honestly, dogs are my favorite, and i love connecting with dogs with positive reinforcement and love! I’m so beyond excited for the opportunity to meet your dogs! (And maybe even paint them for you, too!) I currently work remotely part time so i’ll be home all day and all night, and i make my own hours so I can take pretty much any job, any time, for any length of time. When i’m at home without any other pups here, I take care of my dogs Stevie and Chloe full time. They sleep with me (unless you’d rather your pup sleep up here!) so have special puppy guards on the bed so they don’t accidentally fall off while they sleep up here ever! If you’d like, i can keep my dogs with one of my parents so your pups don’t interact. I have a big fenced yard that not even the smallest puppy could get out from! I have two extremely well behaved soon to be service dogs that i’m currently training, They are very small Yorkies, Stevie is 6 years old and about 7 pounds, and Chloe is 5 months and about 2.5 pounds. They can be involved as much or as little as you prefer, but all dogs in our home need to be fully vaccinated please. In your home, I would do everything a dog needs, I’d make sure water is full and available 24/7, i’d take your pups out for playing/potty breaks as often as you’d prefer, i’d feed them and give medication if needed (i have lots of experience giving puppies, adult, and senior dogs medications!) If you let me know your preferences, i’m sure i can treat your dog with so much care and love, and help them feel their routines aren’t too different then they are with you, if that’s your preference! And I LOVE dog cuddles, and cat cuddles! Also, my brother is a vet tech that works at Rancho Bernardo Vetrinary Clinic so I have him, my vet, and my trusted vet emergency hospital all on speed dial, just in case! If needed I can hop in a car and take your pups to the park, the vet, the er, to get groomed, etc. (I will never put your dog in my car without consent, of course!!)
“I've been using this sitter for quite some time now. Very reliable and dependable. She's been able to help with short notice sitting and out of state work trips for my crazy work schedule. My pup loves it there and enjoys their entire family. I don't get as many pictures but I get a few and my pup is always a happy camper whenever I pick him up. Would definitely recommend this sitter all anyone in need of pet care.”
“Harriet had a fantastic day with Lena and the 2 other dogs she had for company today! She was very reliable with her communication and sent adorable photo updates. We also appreciate the time Lena took for our meet and greet, where her patience and love to care for everyone’s furry family members really shined through. Thank you again Lena; we’d love to use you again in the future!”
“sophie was very kind and communicative throughout the process! she recieved my daisy with open arms and took her on walks, sent pictures throughout and even shared her own dogs food with our girl. will be returning to sophie :)”
About: My husband and I are true dog lovers, and our rescue pup, Myka, is a cherished member of our family. We know how important it is to leave your dog with someone you trust, and we'll care for yours as if they were our own. We offer a safe, loving home with a large backyard, plenty of attention, and daily walks in the canyon nearby. Myka is friendly and respectful of other dogs. She enjoys playing when they want to play, but is also happy to give them space if that's what they prefer. Whether your dog loves adventures, cuddles, or simply relaxing in a cozy spot, we'll make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for during their stay. ❤️ I work from home and only work a few hours each day, which means I have plenty of time to give your dog attention, companionship, playtime, potty breaks, and walks throughout the day! We have a very cozy, dog-friendly home with plenty of toys, comfortable dog beds, and lots of space to relax and feel at home. Our goal is to make every dog feel loved, comfortable, and part of the family during their stay. I always supervise dogs carefully, both indoors and outdoors, and follow any instructions provided by their owners to ensure they remain happy, healthy, and secure. We share our home with our rescue dog, Myka, who is sweet, friendly, and respectful of other dogs. She enjoys playing when other dogs are interested, but is also happy to give them space.
“Gris was amazing to us , she is very good at communicating and ease every fear you can have. It was my first time leaving my dog with someone else for a long period of time (8 ish hours lol ) and knowing that my dog is not the easiest pup I was very worried and stressed about the whole situation.Thankfully I found Gris , she was able to book us last minute, was very easy to communicate with, sent me pictures and answer my messages promptly. My dog loved spending the day at her house and playing with the other pups, he was exhausted from all the playing at the end of the day. I would highly recommend her.”
“This was the first time Pluto went to doggy day care and he had such a wonderful experience after day 1 Pluto was so excited to head to Ryan’s house. Ryan and his family are the sweetest and took really good care of him.”

“Chunli was great with our dog, who could be a bit cautious with unfamiliar people, but I could tell he trusted Chunli right away. We appreciate Chunli’s timely updates and pictures a lot , also feel very lucky to have her to take care of our dog while we were not home. Thank you!”
“Brittany walks my golden weekly and always does a great job! She is punctual, attentive, and a good communicator. I recommend her services to anyone looking for a trustworthy person to take care of their fur child.”
About: I’ve had and taken care of a dog all my life and trained my current dog from 3 months old. I genuinely try to connect with any dog I meet and love them as my own. Most importantly, I teach/train/direct dogs by validating them with praise and love I’m currently at home most of the day and can have variable and spontaneous availability. With that, I can be available quickly and at short notice I am interactive and attentive - I try to figure out their needs and then meet them. I pet them, play with them, and show them attention. I train or teach them by validating them with goodness and love

“Brynn is awesome! We booked her at the last minute and she was more than accommodating to take care of our Jake! She came over to meet Jake before their first walk which went above and beyond and treated him like her own. My wife and I loved the text and picture updates and she is a great communicator. We will definitely be using her again in the future and would highly recommend her for anyone who needs someone to take care of their dog.”
“Patty is so thoughtful in taking care of my dogs and making sure they have a great walking experience. She is always very communicative as well which is much appreciated.”
About: 🔔 Owners, please read entire profile, as it contains very important information about what to expect, guidelines and requirements for your dogs stay! ***Drop off and Pick up windows must be no longer than 30 minutes*** I spent 10 years managing a large property in the Rancho Santa Fe area that had multiple breeds, sizes and ages of dogs. As part of my many managerial duties I oversaw the personal care, vet appointments and individual schedules of all of these beloved family pets. They were all an absolute joy and I’m happy to be able to offer the same level of care to your furry family members as well. ✔️New to Rover? Enjoy $20 off of your first stay! Just use code RUDAV63279 at checkout.👌🏼 I work from home, so pet care can very easily integrate into my current schedule. I regularly step away from my computer to take breaks, so taking a furry friend out for a walk is an added bonus! I will host up to 2 pets a night, I have separate gated areas in my home to ensure food schedules are calm and peaceful while keeping everyone happy as they’re being slowly integrated with one another, everyone is safe and secure at all times. All pets cared for must be potty trained, spayed/neutered, have absolutely no aggression issues towards other animals or people, are not constant barkers or cry and bark due to separation anxiety. ***Aggression issues and separation anxiety of any kind are non-negotiable.*** If your pet has any level of this type of behavior, it’s not the right fit for my home. It’s very important to maintain a calm, peaceful and safe environment for everyone sharing the space. For overnight boarding, pets will sleep downstairs in the main living room area on their own bed/crate, pets will not be permitted to be on furniture or in the upstairs bedroom areas. VERY IMPORTANT: Also, please make sure that all personal care, vet and emergency contact info is up to date on your pets profile as well. Vet and Emergency contact info are required before I will accept a booking.
“This is our first time using Natalyia. We are so happy with her service. She walked our golden retriever, I was so surprised our golden really enjoyed his walks with her. He is a very anxious dog and it takes a lot to calm him . However we were surprised how quickly he got adjusted with her and was looking forward to his walks each and every time. Natalyia is very calm, patient and completely remove all his anxiety and fears.”
“Debbie is absolutely a gem! She was so open to walking Cuzco for me, he felt comfortable with her. She kept up in communication with me while I was away. She went above and beyond for him, and I’m so grateful!”
About: I am an animal lover that is passionate about caring for all animals, specifically rescue animals and animals that may require unique behavioral support or have special needs. My own dog is highly reactive, so I have a lot of experience with handling and caring for reactive dogs. I treat and love every animal as my own and am a very responsible and reliable caregiver. I work as a school psychologist, so I typically care for animals more over the summer! Over the summer, I am available throughout the day for walks or drop in services. I am very flexible both week days and weekends, check my calendar to see if I’m available! I do not offer in-home pet care due to the needs of my own pets. However, I am a very responsible and respectful caregiver when entering client homes.
About: “I’ve been caring for my own three dogs for over 13 years, giving me extensive hands-on experience with feeding, walking, grooming, and basic training. Over the years, I’ve learned how to understand different dog personalities, recognize their needs, and make them feel safe, loved, and happy. Whether it’s playtime, long walks, or simply providing companionship, I truly enjoy spending time with dogs and treating them like part of my family. I am currently working part time. I am available to provide pet care every day — morning and afternoon — including walks, feeding, and playtime. “In my home, I make sure every pet feels comfortable and safe. I provide a clean, cozy space, fresh water, regular feeding, and plenty of playtime and walks. I follow each owner’s routine closely to make pets feel right at home and keep them happy and relaxed.”
About: I grew up with dogs and have taken care of dogs of all sizes for neighbors, family and friends. I can help with feeding, walks, baths, brushing, dental care, etc. I have a hybrid work schedule, so I can take care of your dogs on the weekends and for shorter periods during the week. I'm happy to discuss with you how much care and play time you would like each day for your pups! I have experience working with anxious dogs and puppies. I want your pups to feel as comfortable as possible while you're away. Please let me know if you have any specific requests for your dogs' comfort and safety.
“The absolute best dog walker on the planet! Mind, caring and conscientious. Really wants the animals to have a good time. Took excellent care of my pup, amazing communication. Got back to me right away! I’m absolutely so happy to have made a great connection.”
About: With over 20 years of experience, Natalie & Zac are the perfect hosts to house and watch over your furry besties! From caring for our own pets, to fostering senior dogs, we are well equipped to give your pets a fun, loving, secure stay. Natalie is a nurse and Zac is an engineer, who can occasionally work from home every other Friday. Natalie and Zac both now work M-F, 9-5pm (this corporate life is new for us). We are happy to take care of your pups needs before or after work, or on weekends. We are big dog lovers; we make sure that every dog gets personalized attention. Cuddle sessions, playing with toys, long walks, we do it all to make sure each pup feels loved while away from their humans. We also make sure that their environment is dog-friendly and pet-proofed; we have cozy sleep areas with blankets and low volume environments so dogs aren't overwhelmed. While we don't have a yard, we live close to multiple parks ensuring the pups get good walk time, have a safe place to use the facilities, as well as have opportunities to socialize (if that's what they need). Overall, we very experienced with dogs of all sizes and ages and know that they would have the best time in our cares.
“Halle was great! Willing to help us out when we realized last minute that we would need a daily dog walker during our trip. She was prompt, reliable, and trustworthy. Would highly recommend.”
About: I have taken care of friends and neighbors pups for many years, and the only reason I don't have dogs of my own... is because of my two cats I am between jobs at this time, therefore I am very flexible with my time. In the long run will continue to work around it to make sure your pets are taken care of. I will not be able (at this time) to take care of pets overnight in my own home. Will work in / around your home.

“Michael did an AMAZING job taking care of our dog. Very conscientious and careful, he took her on lots of walks and went above and beyond to ensure she was comfortable at his home. This was our first pet sitting experience and he really put us at ease. He also sent photos everyday and we felt our dog was watched after as one of his own. Great job!”
“thank you, Anna for your care of Sadie! We got great uodates with photos, all instructions were followed, and everything went very smooth! Sadie seems excited to go back and enjoy the big yard again :)”

“Mayank is incredible with my sweet Daisy girl. I have boarded with them more than once, and I always receive regular updates & pictures. Daisy has the time of her life.”
“My dog had a great experience with Alix and her family! She was so happy. Alix sent pictures and gave me updates through out my dogs stay. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing that Honey was happy and safe. I would recommend her to anyone wanting a safe, comfortable place for their dogs.”

“I would leave 6 stars if I could. Luciane took good care of our puppies, who were clearly very well loved during their stay. Booking was easy, communication was great, and the photos she sent were absolutely heartwarming. She had treats and toys and puzzles for the dogs... I couldn't recommend her enough. Thank you so much!”
“Our dog was in great hands while we were on vacation! Our dog had a separation anxiety and did not want to eat, but Pat fed him to make sure he is still eating. She and her husband took my dog on a number of walks everyday. Definitely would book with her again! Highly recommended. Thank you!”
“Riley was well cared for and a very happy pup when we got back from our recent trip! Sandy was consistent with walks and play time with the ball while also being considerate of Riley’s sensitive paws and picky eating. Communication was great! Definitely will book with her again.”

About: While I have been taking care of animals and dogs just about my whole life, I have been officially doing so as of 6 years ago. I began by meeting people in "the wild" and offering meet and greets free of charge for their pet into my home so they could ensure they felt the most safe and able to actually relax knowing their pet was in a good place while they were gone. From building these connections, I have had the privilege of watching their pets for multiple years and made great connections. I have experience watching puppies, adjusting to schedules, and live a very active life style that makes caring for your dog quite natural for me! I have a larger vehicle for transportation and I am familiar with using the E-Collar if your pet uses that as well. I just graduated with my Master's degree and am currently in a break period before I start my full time job. This means currently that I am very flexible and am able to be home more often with your pet! I have more free time now and would love to return to pet sitting and get some new clients. I have a small yard that is mainly for potty reasons, and no other pets. In others homes, I am adaptable and can adjust to what you need. I also do "meet and greets" for your pet if you are interested, free of charge, for them to sniff around the home and for your to see where they would be staying. I also have portable AC units in our home to keep the rooms cool for your dog, especially with this heat.
“I highly recommend Gelare. The communication was excellent, she provided regular updates and adorable photos. I truly appreciate her attention to details. Our dog was happy and well taken care of. If you are looking for someone responsible and loving, Gelare is the perfect choice. I will definitely be booking her again the future. She is the best!”
About: I’ve loved animals since I was a kid! I have volunteered for my local animal shelter and have experience fostering puppies and animals recovering from surgeries! My house is filled with love by my two cats and dog, all rescued! <3 I work from home full time, with a dedicated office space with plenty of dog beds, and a fenced in bark yard. I go on about a 2-mile walk a day with my pupper, Irwin, and am usually home the rest of the day! On the weekends we might be gone from 3-4 hours at times! I have a fenced yard and a very friendly Catahoula Leopard Dog who absolutely lovesssss friends. I am very flexible and can make whatever schedule you need work.
“I get the best updates from Emily! She is very communicative about our dog and respects our medication routine for his seizure disorder. They take such great care of our dog and we will for sure be using them in the future 💞”
“Holly was an amazing sitter for Hazel. I received regular pupdates with pictures and in every single photo Hazel looked absolutely comfortable and happy with Holly, her home, and her family (including her 2 dogs). I feel 100% confident and comfortable using Holly’s services in the near future and would recommend her to anyone.”
“Ann and Zazzle had a great time together. Zazzle was treated to a park visit. Lots of lizards along the perimeter of the park for Zazzla to sniff out. Ann sent pictures and an update each day. Looking forward to going back to Ann's when she has openings.”
