Very patient she had a difficult time getting into my apartment and didn’t get frustrated or upset. Mookie was able to pee and go for a nice walk. A+++

He watched our dog while we were out of town for four days and he was reliable and communicated with us during each visit. He sent photos of our pup on each visit and also fed and filled his water bowl. We will definitely be booking him again in the future. Thank you, Cedric.

About: I have taken care of multiple dogs since I was 10 years old, including my own dog as well as many of our neighbors growing up. We just lost our dog this past year, he was 13 years old and had him since 2010. I spent the most time with him, giving him his walks everyday, and had a big contribution in training him when he was younger. I always made sure that each dog that I took care of ate well, always had water, and received plenty of exercise. My schedule is fairly open right now. I am currently working from home and will be available for dog walking and pet sitting in my home Monday through Sunday, anytime after 11am. I have a fenced backyard with a lot of open space. I will also allow the dog to come inside if needed. We also have a lot of extra toys in the house for the dog to play with.

Shelby feels like family. I asked her to stop by so I could introduce her to Lala and walk her through the routine. She was on time, and she made me feel very comfortable. She was at ease with Lala, who is almost blind, and somewhat stand offish. She is definitely, a keeper!

About: Since the day I was born I've always had multiple pets in the household! My first pets were my 2 cats and since then I've had 10 dogs! I've also been blessed to take care of countless friends & family members' dogs & cats throughout my life. Animals are the light of my life and there's nothing that puts a bigger smile on my face than spending time with them and making them happy. I believe what sets me apart from a lot of sitters is that I have experience with every type of dog you could think of! Large dogs, small dogs, medium dogs, puppies, seniors, anxious, crazy, mean, injured, I've even got a 3 legged rescue pup at home! I'm so excited to meet your amazing pets and I promise to treat them all with love :) I'm currently a fighter & student pilot training from 5pm-8pm on weekdays & 9am- 11am on weekends. My flight school is usually only once a week and sometimes not at all as it is just a hobby, so my schedule is extremely flexible from morning until evening! You're dogs will always be safe under my care! I will gladly travel to your area to check in with your pets and take care of them however you would like. We can go on walks, play, be fed, go out to the bathroom, and more. If you're interested in bringing your pets over to my house it may be negotiated only if they are friendly as I do have 4 dogs currently living with me.

About: I grew up with dogs, cats, birds, rabbits etc. I believe animals come into our lives to make it better and to give us unconditional love. I have trained all my puppies as well as cared for my parents elderly Bullmastiff. I am very sensitive to the needs of pets and can feel when something is wrong. My schedule is open Monday - Sunday, I am a stay at home fur mom and I can not wait to meet your fur baby. All of my cats and dogs are indoor. I believe that is the safest way to keep them healthy and protected. However, if your fur baby is outside I will make sure all gates, doors are closed, locked and secure!

About: PLEASE NOTE: My care services are exclusively for Doodle/Poodle or other non-shedding breeds only due to my husband’s allergies. I’ve always been a huge animal lover and grew up with all kinds of pets. If I could have a farm, I would! Two years after getting married, my husband and I decided it was time to add a dog to our little family, so we adopted our miniature Goldendoodle, Mason. He’s now 8 years old and is still our very loved and spoiled pup. ☺️ I currently have availability for bookings and would be happy to assist with your pet care needs. Please feel free to reach out with your requested dates. We live in a two-story house with plenty of space for your pup to run around indoors, as well as a spacious yard with artificial dog friendly grass that’s perfect for playtime.

I'm so happy to have found Samantha to walk my dog while I'm at work. She responded to my initial request almost immediately and has been very responsive ever since. I needed someone on short notice and Samantha was super accommodating which was a relief. She was great with my dog at the meet and greet and I know she'll be great with her every time! She's wonderful to work with and I'm looking forward to my dog seeing her on a regular basis.

Shang was amazing with my dogs. She was always on time and communicated when she arrived at my house. One of my dogs requires more time to get comfortable with and Shang was very patient with him. She understood their own comfortability levels which allowed them to trust her. I can tell that the dogs are fond of her from the smiles in the photos she sends me! Shang is reliable, caring and I would recommend her to anyone looking for help with the pups!

About: 🐶 I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. Over the years I’ve cared for all kinds of furry (and not-so-furry!) friends—from big doggies like Akitas and Labradors to tiny pups like Yorkies and Malteses, plus rabbits, hamsters, squirrels, birds, turtles, and even snakes. I’ve been there for puppies just born, mamas during pregnancy and delivery, little ones nursing and growing up, playful adults, and sweet seniors. No matter what stage of life your fur baby is in, you can trust that I’ll love and care for them as if they were part of my own family. 🐾 Right now I live with five little pups under 8 lbs, and they absolutely love making new friends. They have free roam of the house all day, with pet stairs to help them hop onto the couch. 🌻Currently, I work from home, I’m around all day to keep them company. I provide potty breaks every 2-4 hours and gentle paw wipes after each. I serve meals right on schedule, and in the afternoons I like to prepare a bit of fresh food (if you’re okay with it). Before bed, we do nightly tooth brushing, and every Saturday we head to the dog park for some playtime. You’ll get daily photos and videos so you can always feel close to your fur baby. 💉 I only host healthy pets with up-to-date vaccinations, and no sick pets. I maintain a clean and safe space, and follow each owner’s instructions closely.

About: Since I was old enough to walk, animals have been a loving part of my life. Growing up in a household where pets were treated as family, taught me that every dog and cat has a unique personality and set of needs. I am particularly skilled at reinforcing consistent routines. If you are working on leash training or basic commands like 'sit' and 'stay,' I make sure to incorporate those into our walks so your progress doesn't stall while you're at work. I am also experienced with senior care, understanding that sometimes a 'walk' is more about a slow sniff-around-the-block and some gentle companionship than a fast-paced walk. My professional life is uniquely flexible, which allows me to be the reliable 'midday anchor' for your pet’s day. I have dedicated my Wednesday through Sunday, 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM, specifically to pet care. This means I am available during the most high-demand hours—when you’re stuck in back-to-back meetings or enjoying a weekend afternoon away. Because I don't juggle a rigid 9-to-5 office job, I can offer consistent arrival windows and the focused attention your pet deserves without rushing to the next appointment. I will treat your home with the same level of respect I’d want for my own. My process is thorough: I double-check that all doors are deadbolted, alarm systems are set, and water bowls are topped off before I leave. To keep you in the loop, I provide detailed Rover Cards after every visit. You’ll receive photos of our adventures, a map of our walk, and a summary of all 'business' handled. If a mess occurred while you were away, I handle the clean-up discreetly and thoroughly so you can come home to a fresh house and a happy, relaxed pet.

About: Hello! I'm a full-time student at CSUS and work for the university during the school year. I began offering Rover services in the summer of 2022. I've cared for both cats & dogs of all ages, sizes, and backgrounds since then through Rover. I also grew up caring for small, medium, large, leash reactive, energetic, timid, and senior dogs! I love dogs and am always looking for new and different ways to provide them with physical and mental enrichment. I enjoy spending time with dogs, trying to teach them something new, learning more about dogs, and caring for them. Anytime I have breaks from my classes and job, such as weekends, summer, and holidays, I can provide my best care for your pet. Your pet's trust and comfort are the most important things to me. I will always try to follow their regular schedule to create a sense of normalcy. I currently live in an apartment complex with my 20-lb dog. I live close to a park within walking distance and nice walking routes throughout my neighborhood. Your pets' safety and happiness are the most important thing as well as a stress-free environment. I always try my best to create a sense of normalcy (as much as possible) during their time with me.

Payton has been a really good match for Maddy. She’s consistent, communicative, and clearly puts real effort into the walks. I appreciate that she makes sure Maddy gets good mileage while still being mindful of things like weather and pacing—especially since Maddy tends to go all in. The updates are also really helpful. I feel very comfortable having her take care of Maddy.

Kayden completed a 60 minute walk with our goldendoodle and standard poodle. It was a short notice booking and Kayden was able to do a meet and greet with our dogs a day prior to the walk. We apprexiated Kayden for initiating the meet and greet as it demonstrates professionalism. It shows he caree about providing the best experience for the dogs and pet parents as well as ensuring it is a suitable client for the walker.

Shannon is a great walker for my collie, who loves the outdoors. They go on mile-long walks at a quick pace. So glad Shannon is willing to do that — it’s just the quality of exercise I wanted for my dog!
