“I am Brooke’s first client with Rover and I definitely won’t be her last! She was a delight to have stay in my house with my three dogs. She took especially amazing care of my 16 year old who is blind and mostly deaf and still managed played all day with our other 2 pups. I received many photos and videos without prompt. We will definitely be asking Brooke back to help us out when we travel. Highly recommend her!”


“Sanaz is absolutely wonderful! Milo and especially Atlas adore her! They snuggle right up and are completely attached whenever she’s around. It’s clear how much love and comfort she brings them. I’ve already booked her again! She is truly wonderful.”

About: With years of experience as a professional dog walker, I’ve built strong bonds with dogs of all temperaments, ensuring their safety and happiness on every outing. My time as a shelter volunteer, working closely with dogs labeled as “more difficult,” has honed my skills in handling unique behavioral needs with patience and care. Additionally, my personal journey fostering and rescuing animals has deepened my understanding of their emotional and physical needs, making me a compassionate and reliable caregiver for your pets. I work from home full-time so I am very flexible in my availability to care for your pet whenever needed! This also allows me to provide as many potty breaks as your pet needs. As a seasoned professional dog walker and shelter volunteer with a focus on challenging dogs, I bring my expertise to provide exceptional care for your pets, whether in my home or yours. My extensive experience with rescue and foster animals equips me to create a nurturing, safe environment tailored to each dog’s unique needs. With a deep understanding of behavior and a commitment to their well-being, I ensure your pets feel loved and secure, offering personalized attention and care in any setting.

About: I studied pet nursing in college and this is my special interest, I have lived and worked with dogs and cats for many years, so I can guarantee that I can provide the best service for your little furries, apart from being a puppy. Dogs are either adults, kittens or adults🐾🥹🌱 I'll help you keep your pet happy when you're away.☺️💕 I love to spend all day and time with your furry friend It gives me a good feeling and calms me down🥺🌱 Thank you for your trust I can take care of your friend at your home, and because I studied nursing, I can provide professional care and behavior and help you with your diet.

“Shahrzad looked after my medically fragile, elderly dog for 10 days. She did a great job following a complex medical protocol and she sent a photo every day. Poe was happy and calm when I came home. Thank you, Shahrzad!”


About: I am a well versed "animal person", willing to sit some of the more exotic creatures likes snakes, birds and reptiles. If you are looking for someone who will offer the same care as one would to a more classic variety, I'm your girl! I do of course, still offer the same level of care for dogs and cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, rats, etc. I myself have two cats and eight chickens, but I am available most days and evenings of the week with some limited future exceptions. Please check my calendar for updated setting! My yard is entirely fenced and secure-If you're dog is a jumper, it is no concern. I am able to provide a separate space for your animals if you have concerns about their interacting with my cats.

“Mary Kate was so amazing with my little one. So accommodating and made sure his needs were met with playing, walking and feeding him on time. Never seen him gravitate so quickly to someone. Love how she always made sure to send me photos of him smiling throughout the day. Will definitely use her again!”


About: I’ve cared for animals my whole life, from pets to working as a kennel manager, I have many years of hands on experience. I just recently graduated from an animal care and training program and I specialize in training, welfare, and animal behavior. I’m currently working a part time job and am looking for more animal based jobs that I enjoy and can do to fill my time. I have some free time on my hands and would love to direct that towards animal care. I thoroughly follow all directions given by owners and am very meticulous and detail oriented. I have experience caring for geriatric animals, as well as animals who need medications multiple times a day and specific needs.

“Tim was a great dog sitter! He was really patient with our timid and nervous dog. He was even willing to give her a bath and water the plants. He left the house clean and our dog was happy and safe. I definitely would him him again.”


About: I take pride in my abilities to shift back and forth from warm kindness to stern alpha voice if necessary to create a loving but safe environment. It's a realistic concern that doggies get themselves into trouble and they need someone who can quickly navigate what will keep them safe. I've done so with my beloved papillon Jenson for the last 13 years and have trained several other pups to do tricks like "speak, heel, sit, close the door" and many more with clicker-treat-reinforcement training. I also volunteer at West Valley Animal Shelter to walk, pick up after, and play with the little dogs. My dog has an auto-immune condition requiring various kinds of medical care so I am also comfortable with giving medication. I am also excellent at record keeping and communications. Happy to work with my clients above and beyond so they feel secure with their fur baby in my care. I have a lot of flexibility with my schedule and looking to build consistent client list to check in with for a while as I get my Psych degree. Other activities I take part in : Reading, yoga, meditation, playing the guitar, hiking, walking. Pet sitting is an apt and lucrative addition to my schedule. :) I bring with me treats, pet safe cleaning supplies, and a vigilant attitude. I have my own fur babies and understand how crucial it is to prepare as much as I can to keep them safe from their curiosities as well as provide them warmth and care in lieu of their parents being present. Should an extra mess occur, or something unpredictable, I am of calm attitude and take care of all still with a sense of urgency. I love taking reports and keeping in communication as well. :)

About: Greetings! My name's Ethan and I have a diverse background in animal care. I may be new to the pet sitting scene, but I have worked with a diverse array of species. I have experience with canine, feline, avian, reptilian, arachnid, insect, marsupial, lagomorph, and primate species. This experience includes proper feeding, husbandry, enrichment, training, and medical treatment. If your animal needs some extra care, I will gladly tend to every need, it is my passion and an honor to do so. In regard to medical experience, I know how to mix medication in with food, apply eye drops/ointment, and give subcutaneous fluids via IV (specifically with a geriatric feline). If there is anything your animal needs that I do not know, I am more than happy to take instruction in order to meet said needs. I look forward to meeting and caring for your dear companion! At this time I am on leave from my higher education to tend to my health, so I have plenty of time to spare in order to care for your dear companion. Taking care of your companion fits well within my daytime hours, and if you have need for my care toward the evening I can make such arrangements. Whilst caring for your companion, I will be attentive to their needs. Their behavior will be noted and their needs met properly, no detail will be missed. Anything odd or out of place to their behavior will be noted, their care will be my priority.

About: From growing up with pets to working in a vet hospital, animals have always been at the center of my world. While my job is mostly administrative, I’m lucky to connect with every fur baby that walks through our doors— and their humans too! I’ve picked up a lot of knowledge just by being in this environment, from understanding pet behavior to recognizing when something might need a professional’s attention. What sets me apart? I have direct access to veterinary care, and I’m well-versed in how to handle unexpected situations calmly and with care. Your pet will be treated like my own—whether that means a cozy walk, playtime, or simply being a comforting presence while you're away. I bring love, attention, and a little vet-clinic peace of mind to every visit. I work full-time at a veterinary hospital, which keeps me close to pets (and pet parents!) every day. I’m currently looking for sitting and drop-in opportunities near my workplace so I can stay close to both the job and your pet—making it easy for me to check in regularly and be nearby in case of anything urgent. On weekends, I’m fully available for more dedicated, around-the-clock care, whether that’s overnight stays, extended visits, or just extra snuggles and walks. I only offer pet care in the comfort of your pet’s home, where they feel safest and most relaxed. I follow your care instructions closely—whether that’s feeding, walks, medication, or playtime—while keeping your pet’s routine as consistent as possible. My goal is to make every visit feel calm, loving, and familiar, so your pet feels comfortable even while you’re away.
