About: I am hyper-attuned to your dog's needs ensuring your pets sense of trust and well-being is secure. Showing up and being present is my priority! I work primarily from home, and my schedule is flexible from the morning to early evening time, making it easy to schedule service times that work conveniently with your schedule and pet needs. Routines and consistency are important to ensuring a dog's sense of the world and trust because they can anticipate what to expect each day. With my own dogs, I wake up and take them for a jog first thing in every morning. The routine accompanied with the daily exercise makes for very happy, well-behaved and content dogs. I will bring that same perspective to your pet's life. Additionally, I am a long time Rover customer and when I was single and working 9-5, I relied heavily on my dog walker and sitter to show up daily, on time, in a loving, attentive way. For those of you who are away from your pets for long periods, please know that I understand the importance of being that consistent person in their life who shows up on time and meets their needs in your absence. Being a Rover walker and drop-in visitor is my way of giving back and saying thank you for all those who supported my pups for so many years!

About: I have had dogs my whole life, but truly love all pets! I started pet sitting when I was about 12 for my neighbor. Since moving from home, I have had various dog sitting and dog walking jobs. I love any type or size of pet, and would absolutely love to care for yours! I am unavailable Monday through Thursday form 5:30 pm to 10:00 pm. Any time outside of that block, I am happy to help! From my childhood home, my dogs have always have free-reign of the house and backyard. They tend to chose the backyard more when it's not too hot. In my current place of residence, I cannot board pets of any kind.
About: Hello, I’m Dani! I am so fortunate to be doing what I love most- caring for animals and helping them thrive with their families. Whether it’s making sure they get the daily exercise they need, a quick potty break, feeding, or check-in while you’re away from home, I am honored to be considered for your pet care needs. I am a former Vet Tech and a lifelong animal lover. I have over 25 years of experience caring for cats and dogs in a professional setting, as well as my own 3 pets. I have volunteered and fostered for many local rescue organizations over the years and enjoy staying involved with animal welfare and rescue. Animal care is my greatest passion and I hope to share that with your special fur babies! Currently I am available for the following: weekday and/or weekends for drop-in visits, feedings, short potty walks or longer walks/hikes, house sitting, and/or in-home daycare and dog boarding. For additional peace of mind, I am certified in pet CPR and first aid. If your dog or cat has special needs or requires a custom care plan, no problem! I am able to administer injections and medications as needed. I will treat your pet with the same loving care and attention to detail that I would give my own. Keeping your pets safe, healthy and happy is my top priority.
About: I’ve been an animal lover my whole life. I grew up wanting to be a veterinarian but ended up being a nurse because I thought I would be too sad with sick animals. It wasn’t until I took care of my elderly dog Lucky that I realized I did have it in me to give sick animals that extra love and patience. I have experience with dogs, chickens, bunnies, horses, cows, and cats. I like cats but I’m allergic, sorry! Odds are if there’s a dog at a party I’m hanging out with the dog from the minute I get there up until it’s time to go. I love going for walks around different parts of the city to clear my mind from a stressful work week. Let me know if I can help care for your pup! I work 12 hour shifts 3 days a week and I’m usually free 4 days a week unless I pick up extra! The days that I work I start as early as 10am as late as 3pm so I can stop by before work if need be. Pets are family. I would treat your pup just as it was my own and give it the love, care, and attention they need. I know finding pet care can be difficult, but you also want someone trustworthy. I’ve been background checked to get my nursing license and have to behave very well to keep it. I would take this opportunity just as serious.
“Melissa started walking my year and a half old Energetic shepard and lab girl Casey. Casey is Soo Exited when she comes..Melissa brought ger 5 Month old Precious baby girl in a carrier and took Casey for the walk!!”


About: I have a deep experience with dogs of all ages and temperaments—from energetic puppies to sweet senior pups needing a gentler pace. I’m especially patient, detail-oriented, and treat every dog like they’re my own. I have a rescue chihuahua named Diego, and over the years I’ve regularly dog-sat for friends and family, handling medications, special diets, and quirky personalities with ease. I also never underestimate the power of a good belly rub or a well-timed treat. Pet care fits great into my schedule—I’m a retired LAPD officer now working part-time from home, so I’ve got the flexibility to give your pets the attention they need, when they need it. My days aren’t rushed, and I actually like planning around walks, feedings, and cuddle breaks. It’s a pretty sweet upgrade from chasing bad guys. Pets in my home are treated like family—just with more treats and fewer chores. While I do not have a fenced yard, all outdoor time is carefully supervised and handled on leash to ensure safety. Inside, there’s plenty of comfortable space for lounging, cuddling, or doing their own thing. My dog Diego (a rescue chihuahua) serves as the welcoming committee and takes his role very seriously. I keep the environment calm, clean, and consistent so your pet feels comfortable and secure from day one.

Because of this schedule, I am available daily to spend full quality time caring for, feeding, and giving attention to your pets. Pets in my care are never left unattended and will always be under constant supervision in a safe, secure, and clean environment.

Every animals is different with their feeding routine, exercise, temperament, I do my absolute best to ensure that all their needs are met the same way you do it to ensure you and your pet feel comfortable.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins.

Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.

Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
