“Nicole has been an absolute lifesaver. I recently broke my leg and have been completely unable to take Quattro out for his walks, but Nicole stepped right in and made everything seamless. She is incredibly accommodating, always on time, and completely reliable. What stands out the most is how conscientious she is about Quattro's safety and well-being. She treats him with such care that I have complete peace of mind while I’m stuck at home recovering. If you’re looking for a trustworthy, thoughtful, and highly responsible person to look after your dog, I cannot recommend Nicole enough.”

“Megan took care of and was walking Pepper for over a week. I am very happy I found such an amazing walker for Pepper. She is super reliable, always showed up right on time, and gave me peace of mind. Her communication is awesome, she made sure I knew house and dog were in good hands. She told me of her desire of being more with dogs again after her move to CA. She took the best care of Pepper and treated him like one of her own. It seemed to me that Pepper looks even happier, healthier than before they started their walks. Highly recommended and I will ask her again next time when I am away.”

About: Having raised and trained a puppy from scratch and cared for family dogs into their golden years, I know how to match your dog’s specific pace. I focus on positive reinforcement, enriching sniff breaks, and engaging playtime. Whether your dog needs an energetic adventure, puppy-level patience, or a gentle neighborhood stroll, they get attentive, reliable care. With a completely open and flexible schedule right now, pet care is my primary daily focus rather than something squeezed around an office job. I’m available throughout the day for morning outings, peak midday potty breaks, and evening walks. Having full flexibility allows me to give your dog calm, unhurried attention and accommodate changing schedules easily. Having raised a rescue dog who was initially prone to door-dashing, situational awareness is second nature to me. Whether securing entryways or keeping a watchful eye on neighborhood walks, I’m very comfortable navigating more sensitive or challenging behaviors with calm, steady patience. Alongside safety, I believe genuine play is essential - I always make time for fun games, positive energy, and active engagement. Most of all, I treat your home with complete respect and follow your established routines, knowing firsthand how essential consistency is for a dog’s confidence and comfort.
“Kate was awesome with my Golden Retriever and I would definitely hire her again. Reliable, communicative, trustworthy, professional and friendly. My dog was excited to go on walks with her!”

About: Hi, I’m Paulina! I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember, with hands-on pet care experience dating back to when I was in middle school. Over the years, I’ve cared for all kinds of pets, including guinea pigs, dwarf hamsters, mice, turtles, freshwater fish, a cornsnake, a bearded dragon, and of course, cats and dogs! I have four cats of my own, so I’m very familiar with the responsibility and attention to detail that comes with caring for multiple pets and maintaining their individual routines. I’ve fostered two abandoned puppies, cared for them while they were looking for their next chapter, and helped find them loving homes. I also recently fostered a feral queen and her litter of 4 kittens that were just two weeks old (so tiny and cute!). I had them for about 6 weeks before they went off to their loving homes (yes, I was a foster fail and adopted one!). These experiences really reinforced how much I value giving animals patience, stability, and plenty of affection while they’re in my care. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions and understand that every pet is different. Some need lots of playtime and attention, while others are shy, independent, or need a little extra patience to feel comfortable around someone new. I’m happy to meet pets where they are and follow their normal routines as closely as possible. I’m also very attentive to cleanliness, feeding schedules, fresh water, enrichment, and changes in behavior. I want you to feel confident that your pets aren’t just being checked on but they’re genuinely being cared for. I also completely understand the anxiety and concern when it comes to going on trips and leaving your fur babies at home, so I always send detailed updates with lots of pics. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your fur baby and give them the same care and attention I’d want for my own pets. 🐾♥️ I work remotely, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to build pet care into my day. I’m able to provide consistent visits, walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship almost any time of the day. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I treat every home and every pet with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I carefully follow instructions, keep doors and gates secure, make sure pets have access to fresh water, and pay close attention to their behavior and surroundings. I’m also very respectful of clients’ homes and will leave things clean and exactly as I found them. Before caring for your pet, I like to understand their routine, personality, feeding instructions, medications if applicable, and any quirks or safety concerns. I believe clear communication and attention to detail are key to giving both pets and their people peace of mind.
“Sydney was such a great help while I was visiting San Jose for a work trip. She was incredibly reliable, and I could tell Bandaid had a wonderful time with her. By the time I got back to the hotel after long workdays, he was always calm, happy, and clearly well cared for. Thank you so much, Sydney. Wishing you all the best and Bandaid already misses you 🐾🫶🏻”

“Maria is a wonderful dog walker. Our puppy is quite nervous with strangers, and he absolutely loves her. She is kind to him and makes every walk / visit a nice experience!”


About: As an avid animal-lover, I've cared for both dogs and cats professionally and personally for the majority of my life. In my book, every animal is deserving of the highest standard of care, be it young or old, large or small. I have experience matching the energy of young puppies eager to explore the world for the first time alongside the patience and gentleness required to care for their seniors. I'm currently a community college student, so outside of classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and family time Sunday evenings, my availability is open to all of your pet care needs! My #1 priority with any animal is to establish what kind of interaction they enjoy, as every dog or cat is different. If your pet wants constant play while I'm hanging out with them in your home, I'm more than happy to provide, just as much as I am happy to be a chill buddy for those who prefer to relax. Attentiveness is key!

“Heidi is an excellent and professional dog walker. We appreciate her for taking care of our dog, cats and turtles when we were traveling, that’s lot of works but she’s done well. We would be very happy to recommend Heidi our friends.”

About: - Administering medication (oral, topical; clear instructions followed precisely) - Senior pet care (mobility support, routine monitoring, patience) - High-energy pets (structured walks, play, consistency) - Shy or anxious pets (slow approach, trust-building, no pressure) - Puppies and pets under 1 year (routine reinforcement, supervision) - Clean, respectful home care (leave the space as I found it) I’ve completed multiple house sits and can provide verified reviews from other major sitting platforms upon request. With 10+ years of experience, I’m comfortable handling a wide range of temperaments—from energetic puppies to senior pets that need extra attention and consistency. Please feel free to reach out anytime, my schedule is flexible, I will be happy to provide care and love for your furry family members. I take pet safety and home care very seriously. I follow your instructions closely, maintain your pets’ normal routines, and keep your home tidy and secure. Your pets will be treated like family - with gentle handling, constant attention, and full reliability every step of the way.
“Sumaira is always on time and I know I can count on her to take good care of my fur babies. While walking my Siberian Husky another dog that was unleased attacked my dog. Sumaira safely got my girl home and check her out from head to toe. She promptly notified me that the husky was attacked, however alright. Sumaira let me know there was a little blood on her ear, however she did not appear to be injured. I myself have had another dog attack us when we were walking. Sumaira did the responsible thing and notified me and ensured my girl was alright. In this type of situation that is best can be accomplished and despite this incident I will ask Sumaira to walk her again.”


About: Hi! My name is Alexa, and I absolutely love animals! I have grown up around pets and currently have a cat and a German Shepherd of my own. I also previously had an English Mastiff, so I’m very comfortable caring for large dogs and understand the extra patience and attention they can sometimes need. I have experience dog walking for many different families, doing drop-in visits for both dogs and cats, and house sitting for dogs, cats, and even chickens! I love getting to know each pet’s individual personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. While I haven’t personally cared for every type of animal, I am responsible, trustworthy, and very willing to carefully follow any instructions you provide. I’m always happy to learn about your pet’s specific routine, needs, and preferences. I recently graduated high school with a 4.67 GPA and will be attending Washington University in St. Louis next year. I’m dependable, organized, and take my responsibilities seriously, but most importantly, I genuinely love animals and would treat your pets as if they were my own. I work a daily job from noon until the evening, so I’m most available in the mornings. I’m able to provide plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and care before noon, especially if your pet is sensitive to heat and only takes morning walks! I may not be able to personally stay with a pet 24/7 every day, but I can accommodate pets who are comfortable being alone for part of the day. For boarding, I also have family members in my home who can be with your pet while I’m at work, so your pet will have someone around and will not be left alone for the entire day. I’m happy to discuss your pet’s specific schedule and needs beforehand to make sure I can provide the right level of care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are extremely important to me. I have experience caring for dogs and cats and understand how important it is to follow each pet’s individual routine, instructions, and boundaries. I have a large, securely fenced backyard where dogs can safely get outside, play, and get some energy out. I also have an older German Shepherd and a cat, so I’m very familiar with having multiple pets in the home and making sure everyone is comfortable. I’m responsible, attentive, and trustworthy, and I will always follow your instructions carefully. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away.
About: I worked as a certified pet care specialist for 3 years and have been dog sitting and walking for five years. I have a 3 year old Pomeranian dog and been a dog owner my whole life. 😊 I’m currently working part-time so I will have plenty of time to play, walk, and attend to your pups! I also have a fenced backyard so can play with them in the yard as well and take regular morning and afternoon walks with my pup daily! I have a fenced yard and a 3 year old Pomeranian who is super friendly and can keep your pup company! We have plenty of room for a crate as well if you want your pup to be crated at any time and pets are allowed on all furniture in my home. 😊
About: Throughout my childhood I’ve been surrounded by animals of all kinds - dogs in particular. My family has always had at least one dog in our household and I’ve spent a combined three years volunteering, shadowing, and working at animal hospitals / clinics - learning how to meet the needs of every dog or cat I encounter. The passion I had as a child led me to pursue zoology. I recently graduated from Cal Poly Humboldt and while there I worked at the Humboldt Wildlife Care Center. It was here that I learned to confidently and humanely rehabilitate numerous critters. I’ve worked with everything from raccoons to seabirds! The experience I’ve collected throughout my life has left me confident in my ability to provide structured and comforting care to any cat, dog, or other critters you may have. Please feel free to reach out with more questions or inquiries! :) Taking care of pets is my passion and priority. I'm available any time of the day, on both weekends and weekdays, to give good care to your animals. The most important things I focus on are giving love to all pets and ensuring they feel safe. Additionally, I have or create a schedule for taking care of the pet's needs, from meals to potty breaks to medication.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Vasona Junction
Anke has consistently walked Odin twice a week for a year and a half. She is super attentive and always shares feedback both written and verbal about their walks. Our neighbors have commented as well (unsolicited) about what a great job she does with our baby. She’s super attentive and caring and can handle our dog well even though he’s reactive with other big dogs. Anke is a gem!

We had such a great experience with Serena! She was wonderful with our dog, reliable, caring, and very attentive. It was clear that she genuinely cared about making sure our dog was happy and comfortable. We felt completely at ease knowing our dog was in such good hands. We would absolutely recommend her and will definitely book with her again!

First time booking with Adrienne. Everything worked out great, she easily accommodated a last minute change to add on another day of walking Pepper. I also had ants appearing in my house near his food the day before the booking but Adrienne took care of this and made sure that the food bowl was always fresh and protected from the ants. She is reliable and easy to communicate with.

Ava is great with my senior girl. She allows Callie to go at her own pace and understands that new smells are Callie’s favorite. Ava was even willing to drive her to a nearby park to mix it up a bit so she wasn’t always walking in the same areas. Good communication and very considerate, I definitely recommend Ava!

David is a rare find — reliable, kind, and truly cares. There are no words to fully capture the level of care David has shown for our Oreo. He's understanding, listens with patience, and is meticulous about following directions — the kind of person you can genuinely count on. He handled our goofy husky like a pro, and even gave attention to our cats, which wasn't part of the job at all. He's also incredibly responsive and consistently goes above and beyond — taking Oreo on longer walks and spending extra time with him. David was an absolute godsend while we were out of town for an extended trip. We came home to a dog who was relaxed, happy, and honestly more fit and healthy than when we left, thanks to all the exercise he made sure Oreo got. Beyond being a wonderful dog walker, David is just a genuinely great human being — generous, humble, dependable, and someone we feel lucky to have found. Highly, highly recommend.
