Dog Walking Vine Hill

“Wow he's amazing! I've never used a rover before because one of my dogs has aggressive tendencies towards dogs/people. So I've been pretty hesitant in using a rover/sitter. Joseph is absolutely amazing! Took his time, made sure the dogs were comfortable, read their body language. Just did everything right. By his second visit, my dogs absolutely adored him!”

“Stephanie is awesome! My big lab is pretty anxious and excitable around new people and she warmed right up to Stephanie. She is super calm, confident, and obviously an experienced dog handler, and I felt great about sending my big fur baby off with her for an adventure. Will definitely be hiring her again for dog walks!”

About: Hi everyone! I am a UCLA student, in to the bay area. I've watched dogs for as long as I can remember. I have dog walked, bathed/dried dogs, and dog sat for many close friends. I have also volunteered at a dog grooming shop where I cleaned, dried dogs, and entertained them while out of crate. I have handled "easy" dogs, reactive dogs, large, medium, and small dogs. I absolutely love animals and especially dogs, I have since I was pretty much born. I have experienced atypical needs in dogs, and understand every dog is different. They bring so much joy to our days and I love making bonds with them. My schedule is flexible so please reach out, I'd love to make things work to meet your pups! Can't wait to hear from you! I work remote currently so my free time varies per day, but I am very flexible! Being with dogs, make my days so much better so any visits I love! When walking your dog, I can easily spot reactive dogs and will make sure we stay away, your dog's safety is my number 1 priority. I will always want to get to know your dog and its personality to know how to walk them safely. I will always be alongside your dog inside and outside the house. If I'm in your home that has a yard, I will always double-check there is no escape. I always go outside alongside the dog because you never know what can wander into the backyard, especially when it's dark.

“Jenna has been walking my girl Ellie while my foot is broken and she has been absolute life saver! She’s keeping Ellie safe while making sure she gets the exercise she needs and I couldn’t be more grateful.”

About: I offer calm, personalized care in a quiet home where your dog is treated like family, not one of many in a busy boarding facility or a home with multiple dogs. I typically host one household at a time, so your dog gets my full attention, genuine affection, and all the cuddles they can handle. My home is the right fit for friendly dogs who love companionship, walks, and settling into a peaceful routine. I'm especially drawn to dogs who thrive with one-on-one attention rather than the noise and energy of a busy multi-dog environment. I'm certified in Pet CPR, Healing Touch for Animals, and Reiki. And beyond the credentials, I'm deeply attuned to each dog's personality and energy. That attunement is what helps them settle in quickly and feel genuinely at ease. My connection to animals runs deep. I spent five years volunteering at Lindsay Wildlife Rehabilitation Center, working in both the mammal department and wildlife hospital with injured and recovering animals. That experience sharpened my understanding of animal behavior and reinforced something I already believed: animals feel safety before they understand it. My goal is always to create that feeling from the moment your dog arrives! Because I work from home, pets in my care are rarely left alone for long periods and receive plenty of attention, walks, and companionship throughout the day. When pets stay in my home, they become part of a calm and comfortable daily routine. I primarily host dogs from 1 household at a time so each pet receives plenty of individual attention. Dogs here enjoy daily walks, playtime, and relaxed downtime, and I’m home much of the day since I work from home. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality and needs so they feel safe and settled. For drop-in visits or walks in a client’s home, I follow the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, fresh water, walks, litter care for cats, playtime, and companionship. I’m happy to send photo updates so owners know their pets are doing well.

“Oh my gosh!! When I tell you I had the best best best best experience with Aileen, I definitely did! She was outstanding with my little Lisa. I could just tell by all the photos and video updates I got of her while I was gone she was having a blast!!! She was definitely cared for like it was her own dog! Lisa was loved, cuddled, played, and well taken care of!! I wouldn't chose any other pet sitter then her! 1000000% would check her out! Loads and loads of photos and videos from the visit. Aileen does everything just like you so your doggy feels at home!! Lisa will definitely miss Aileen, and can't wait for her to go back when I need a sitter again!!!!”

“Maria goes above and beyond to make sure Leo gets a good walk and all his puppy needs are met. She even stopped in for a quick potty break when she was in the area on an extremely hot day. I trust her and highly recommend her!”

Alicia & Jasmin D.

“Halona was great with my two dogs and made sure they were both tired from their walk & happily settled in before leaving. She’s great and I would highly recommend!”

Kim M.

“Danielle is awesome! I’ve hired a lot of dog walkers and she always ends up walking my dog the furthest and getting him the most exercise.”

“Great communication, extremely nice, and Oliver really liked you! Thank you so much!!”

“Máire has been walking our senior pittie for a few weeks now and I can really say Máire has been doing a great job. Super communicative. On time. And my dog loves Máire. My dog can be pretty people selective when it comes to actually liking people and she never has a problem leaving with Máire. Maire is very understanding of my dog’s senior shenanigans and her health problems that have caused her to slow down as she’s gotten older. I have continued to re-book with Máire consistently.”

“Virginia was very professional and kind towards our pup. She followed all of our instructions and provided a lot of care to our dog. Would definitely rehire again!”

About: I bring more than 20 years of professional experience in veterinary medicine and animal welfare, caring for pets and supporting the people who love them. My background includes veterinary hospital leadership and many years with the San Francisco SPCA, and I'm also Fear Free Certified. I have extensive experience with pets of all ages, personalities, and needs, including puppies, seniors, anxious or fearful pets, multi-pet households, medication routines, and pets who may need a little extra patience and attention. My Fear Free training helps me recognize signs of fear, anxiety, and stress and adjust my approach so each pet can feel as safe and comfortable as possible. My veterinary background also means I pay attention to the little things. I'm accustomed to noticing changes in behavior, appetite, mobility, energy, or overall wellbeing and communicating concerns promptly. Most importantly, I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else's care. I'll treat your pets like they're my own, follow their routines closely, and make sure you get plenty of updates and photos while you're away. My schedule is currently very flexible, which gives me plenty of availability for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week. I'm available weekdays and weekends and can accommodate morning, daytime, and evening visits. I also understand how important consistency is for pets, so I'll do my best to keep their normal feeding, walking, medication, and bedtime routines intact while you're away. With more than 20 years of experience in veterinary medicine and animal welfare and Fear Free certification, I'm very comfortable caring for pets with different personalities, behaviors, ages, and needs. When caring for pets in your home, I'll follow your instructions closely and treat your home with the same care and respect I'd want someone to show mine. I'll double-check doors, gates, leashes, and other safety details, keep your pet's environment clean, and provide detailed updates and photos so you always know how things are going. I know you're trusting me with two things that matter enormously—your pet and your home—and I don't take either responsibility lightly.

About: Hi there! I have taken care of 5+ different families pets that include dogs, cats, reptiles, birds, etc! I love taking care of dogs & cats especially and have experience in pets of all ages. I also have experience in emergency situations with elderly pets, that called for immediate vet attention, puppy emergencies of all sorts, and even reactive pets. I develop a deep care for animals and prioritize learning each and every pets personality and needs. My professional work consists of freelance work, so in between I love to surround myself with animals and nature. A lot of the time my freelance work is done from my computer. To balance that out, I frequently go out into nature as part of my routine when time allows so for those who have pets who need outdoor time, I'm a great fit for you! As long as I have my cup of joe, and my laptop I'm a pretty easy going person! My approach to taking care and building a trusting relationship with your pet would focus on prioritizing their needs by learning their personalities. Some pets who have separation anxiety require a lot of affection, some who are high energy require a bit more exercise, and some who need mental stimulation just need exposure to different smells or visual stimulation! It just depends on what your pet needs.

“Caroline! You were great with the two dogs we have. Thank you for being so flexible and kind with them. They truly loved you”

About: I have patience caring for dogs, including end of life for senior dogs and dogs age 1 year and up. This includes bathing, walking, tending to wounds, playing with and taking them along on vacation! I am a college student that is studying to be an accountant. I need a flexible job. Dog walking is a perfect job for me, because I love dogs and spending time with them outdoors. I can play with your dogs, give them long walks, brush their fur, and keep them company with dog play until the are tired and happy.

About: Ive taken care of dogs since I was 9 and I’ve taken care of cats since I was in kindergarten. When going to friend’s homes I am respectful of special diets for their fur babies and follow the family’s list of requirements for their pets. I’ve taken care of pets for both friends and family. I’ve helped feed, walk and administer meds. Im working part time so I will have plenty of time to spend with pets to play, feed, walk and help enrich their lives while you’re away. I am playful, caring and gentle with furry friends. I like to make them feel as comfortable as possible around me so they know they can trust me. I like to also get to know the family and how they care for their pet in different circumstances to make sure I am doing things that your pet is used to.

“Great walker! Christopher was communicative and on time. He was excellent with our energetic puppy with some leash pulling issues. He followed instructions and gave the report that all went well! He’s confident with dogs, especially if they need some training reinforcement. Would totally work with him again!”

About: I'm excited to meet new pets and their people! While I'm new to Rover, I'm not new to caring for animals. I have over 20 years of professional experience caring for pets and homes, along with a lifetime of loving animals of my own. Animals have been part of my life since childhood. I've cared for dogs of every size, age, and personality, as well as cats, birds, and other small animals. Most recently, I spent four years living in Hawaii with my own dog, cat, and bird, and have cared for pets throughout the Bay Area, including Marin, San Francisco, Oakland, Contra Costa, and Napa. I'm an outdoor enthusiast who loves mountain biking, hiking, camping, and exploring nature. If your dog enjoys adventure and you're comfortable with it, I'm happy to include longer walks or outdoor adventures tailored to their energy level. I enjoy keeping active dogs both physically and mentally engaged, while always respecting each pet's individual needs and routine. During COVID, while my massage therapy practice was on pause, I got a certification in canine massage, deepening my understanding of canine anatomy, mobility, and comfort. This experience has been especially valuable when caring for senior dogs, anxious pets, and those who benefit from right amount of exercise and a calm, gentle touch. Every pet is different, and I take pride in carefully following your instructions so they feel safe, loved, and at home while you're away. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind, knowing your beloved companion is receiving attentive, experienced care. I've always believed animals are some of life's greatest gifts. To me, they are like guardian angels on Earth. They teach us unconditional love, presence, and joy. It's a privilege to earn their trust and care for them as if they were my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily life. I currently work part-time with a flexible schedule, which allows me to plan my work around the pets I'm caring for whenever possible. I intentionally limit my commitments so I can provide each pet with the time, attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, quiet companionship, or simply keeping their normal routine, I'm happy to adapt my schedule to meet their needs. I understand that consistency helps pets feel safe and comfortable while you're away, and I strive to make their time with me feel as familiar and stress-free as possible. Clear communication is important to me, and I'll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is happy, loved, and well cared for. Every pet is unique, so I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and preferences before you leave. I carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, favorite walking routes, sleeping arrangements, and any special needs to help your pet feel safe and comfortable. Whether your companion enjoys long walks and outdoor adventures, playtime, enrichment activities, or simply relaxing on the couch, I tailor my care to what makes them happiest. I believe consistency and patience help pets feel secure while their family is away.

About: I have loved animals ever since I was young! I have a senior dog myself who I've been taking care of for 13 years. I'm very active so I love going on walks. I have experience also taking care of cats when my neighbors would be out of town. I do prefer to only take care of two animals max per household.
