About: Over 12 years professionally caring for dogs, and I’ve owned them for 30 years. Professional dog groomer, nail care and light clipper clean ups available. I’m a professional pet groomer working to get my in-home grooming service going. In the meantime, I’m doing gig work, which means the most flexible schedule to make it work for you. Excellent at following instructions and communication. I believe in positive reinforcement training and responses to behavior. I’m extremely strong due to my job, and will have no problem handling any size dog with any behavior level. I am well versed in dog body language and psychology.

About: I have had pets ever since I was born and love nothing more than quality time with animals! I am a college student looking for some much needed time away from the books and surrounded by pets. I currently have classes on Monday and Wednesdays and am looking to spend time caring for fur babies every other day of the week! I absolutely adore all types, sizes, ages, of pets and want to help you and your family out in any way I can. I am available throughout the weekdays to help let your dog out, take them on walks, feed them, and so much more! I also have experience washing dogs if needed.

About: Dogs and cats have always been at the heart of my family and so I would love to help people take care of their furry family members as well! I have wanted to be a veterinarian for most of my life and currently am in school studying Wildlife Ecology. I also volunteer at the Aquarium of the Pacific where I am furthering my knowledge about animals as well as helping to pursue my passion for conservation and the environment. Animals are the center of my social, educational and professional world and so I am so happy to help out other animal-loving families through Rover! My family has many animals and so when I wake up in the morning, the first think I do is feed the animals and take the dogs out to walk! I also end my day taking care of my pets. Fitting in walks, check-ins and house visits will fit very smoothly into my daily routine. In fact, the only times I limited availability for Rover are the times I volunteer regularly at the Aquarium of the Pacific. In the homes of my clients I will ensure that the animals feel as at home and comfortable as possible. Knowing that animals are deeply aware of the absence of their owners, I want to make sure I stick to the usual routine of my clients. The comfort of the animals is my top priority and so I will closely listen to and abide by the schedule of my client. I will also make sure the animals are receiving as much attention as they desire so as to remind them they are loved and haven't been left behind or alone.


“We know howchi loves his time with Karly as when he sees her later on the street he runs right to her (although seems a little jealous if she has another dog with her!). She's the best.”



“Hillary did an amazing job walking my shy pup and quickly won her over! In addition to being amazing with my dog, Hillary did and excellent job communicating with me about how my dog did on their walks, tactics she used to help build up my dog's confidence, and Hillary even helped clean up a potted plant that my dog had knocked over one day. I would highly recommend Hillary to anyone looking for care for their pets!”


About: I have experience with every kind of dog! Puppies, senior dogs, I am also used to administering medication to dogs. I have been working as a k9 coach for the past year! I am super patient, kind, and understanding I have a super flexible schedule! I am very open to anything last minute. I can do multiple walks a day as well! I am also more than happy to just stay the whole day if house sitting! I would say my animals are so spoiled! I am very gentle. I am someone who believes that yelling at an animal won’t do anything. So I would say I have a very gentle but effective approach.

About: Hi, I’m Jade! A little about me: I grew up in a home with a Great Dane, bunny, and cockatiel! My passion for animals took off through one of my first jobs working in a pet store. More recently, through an amazing fostering experience, my passion grew and I became all-in for animals. I work currently as a receptionist at a vet clinic and plan to get my vet tech license in a couple of years. I love all parts of my job, but most of all seeing the patients!!! I am new to Rover, but I have been watching the pets of my friends and family for years. I have cared for dogs with special instructions and have done check-ins, morning and night, as well as stay-overnights. I love animals of all kinds, and am excited to get to know yours and get all the cuddles I can! I am interested in expanding my care and experience in taking care of animals, so please don’t hesitate to reach out with special cases! It is my hope that I can earn your trust to care for your fur baby(ies) like they’re my own while you’re away :) I’m mostly doing pet care on my weekends and days off, where I will be most readily available to make sure your pets get the most thorough care I can give. I can, however, do very early morning and later night check ins if needed. I want to make sure you feel comfortable with your pet in my care and am happy to send you as many updates and pictures as you need! I will handle your fur baby with so much love and affection and make sure I stick to any instructions you may have for me!

“Brenda did a PHENOMENAL job with Pablo :) this is my first time using Rover and I was a bit confused and anxious but Brenda helped me navigate SO smoothly. My dog Pablo gets along with everyone but I could tell from the photo she sent, he was SO happy and content :) I will absolutely be rebooking with her for Pablo’s future walkies”

“My dogs loves her! I will definitely be using her services again soon.”


Jade N.
“Jade has watched my dogs, a Pomeranian and a golden retriever, many times. I don't trust a lot of people with my animals because they are a lot to handle, but she is so loving and caring to them. She plays with them constantly and both of my dogs love her to death. Jade is more than willing to go out of her way to make sure she takes care of your animals well. She will reach out to you if something seems off or if she needs to verify something. She noticed that my golden retriever was having acid reflux issues, and she immediately wanted to make sure she was medicated and feeling better. She spent the night at my home a few times to watch the dogs over night. She definitely wore them out! I can't recommend her enough. Definitely go through Jade to be your pet caregiver.”
