About: I’ve been surrounded by animals for as long as I can remember! 🐾 I’ve had dogs since I was about 6 years old, and growing up, my sisters and I always had a fur baby (or two… or five!) to love. 🩷 I grew up on a farm, so animals have always been a huge part of my life—from dogs and guinea pigs to bunnies, birds, goats, and chickens! I truly love being around animals and getting to know all their different personalities. Your fur baby will be treated like family while they’re with me—with lots of love, attention, playtime, belly rubs, and plenty of cuddles (if they’re into that 😉). My goal is for every pet to feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away! 🐶💕 I work from home Monday through Friday, which gives me plenty of flexibility to give your fur baby the attention, love, and care they deserve! 🐾 I’m able to take breaks throughout the day for potty breaks, walks, playtime, and cuddles, while still being around to keep them company. I love having animals around while I work, so your pup will have plenty of companionship throughout the day! 🩷 I have a sweet 11-month-old puppy named Aria who loves making new friends! 🐶💕 She enjoys playing with other dogs and would be happy to have some company, but I always make sure each dog is comfortable and gets the space and attention they need. I also have an extra-large crate available if your pup is crate-trained or needs some quiet time, and I’m happy to follow their normal routine and your instructions

“Basilia just cared for my cat Luna while I was away on vacation and she did a fantastic job. I loved the photos and the notecard updates. She even brought a laser pointer over to play when I informed her the batteries in mine had run out the day before I was set to leave. I would recommend her great care and look forward to booking her again in the future.”

About: I bring almost a decade of pet care across several different professional facilities. Whether a puppy, unruly, shy, or elderly I've dealt with it all! I've managed chaotic play yards but I love forming strong one-on-one bonds with all furry creatures- I was many a pup's favorite in the yards, especially the ones who were less confident. I am currently open and flexible in order to accomdate a variety of client schedules. Whether you need a regular walker or weekend drop ins I'm your girl! The safety and well being of your dog is always my priority! I have my own rescue dog who came with a few behavioral quirks and have worked with him extensivley to be an upstanding citizen as well as manage his behaviors in general.

About: Taking care of both dogs and cats is something that I have loved doing since I was a young teen. I have also volunteered abroad working at animal shelters in other countries. I feel really passionate about giving them the proper love and care they deserve! I am currently working 8-4pm on weekdays but anytime after that I am free to care for your pets! I will also be free on the weekends! I wouldn’t be able to take care of your pets in my residence, but I would absolutely love to watch over them at yours while you are away!

About: I have a lot of love and experience with animals! My family has always loved animals, and I’ve grown up having multiple dogs throughout my life. I’m very comfortable caring for dogs of different personalities and love spending time playing with them, giving them attention, and taking them on walks. I treat every pet like they’re part of the family and want to make sure they feel happy, safe, and cared for while you’re away! I’m a student at SBCC and currently only have classes on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays, so I have plenty of free time on the other days to care for your pup! I’m able to be flexible with my schedule and would love to spend my free time taking dogs on walks, playing with them, and giving them lots of attention and care. I’m unable to have pets stay in my home because I live in student housing, but I’m happy to care for pets in their own home! I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m happy to follow their usual routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and giving them lots of attention. I’ll also make sure their space stays clean and they have everything they need.

About: Hello, my name is Sandy and I am looking forward to taking care of your furry friend. Like most other animal lovers, I’ve had dogs of all kinds and pets all my life. I have patience, problem solving skills and the ability to cope with challenges under pressure. Also a deep love and appreciation of mother nature and animals. I am semi retired but still enjoy working and set my own schedule so I am available weekdays and weekends. Your pet will be well looked after. I love to go to the beach and will look forward to taking your furry friend with me. Shoreline Park is another favorite daily walk activity and just minutes away. My condo has a small fenced yard and a comfortable home for your doggie’s vacation. I live on the mesa in the Highlands with lots of easy walking just outside the front door and in the Honda Preserve so your pet will have plenty of short walks. I have been a dog owner all my life but when my last dog Nates, the absolute best dog in the world my children and I rescued from the animal shelter, left the planet for dog heaven, I couldn’t bring myself to get another and my children were all grown so I very much enjoy taking care of other’s pets.

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I have a natural knack for connecting with them. I grew up with dogs, cats, the occasional rodent and I have previously pet-sit and dog walked for friends. I have had pets of all ages and am comfortable administering meds if needed. I have a very open and flexible schedule, though I occasionally teach scuba diving on the weekends. Because my hours vary, please check my Rover calendar to confirm availability. Because I provide care directly in your home and neighborhood, your pet's safety and the security of your home are my top priorities. • Home & Leash Safety: I always double-check that doors, windows, and gates are securely locked when entering or leaving your home. When we are out on a walk, your dog will remain securely leashed at all times, and I maintain a high awareness of our surroundings to avoid any stressful interactions with other animals or traffic. • Constant Communication: I provide regular, detailed updates with photos from our walks or drop-in visits so you always know exactly how your pet is doing. • Emergency Preparedness: Before our first booking, we will complete a Meet & Greet to review your pet’s exact routine. I will ask for your primary vet's details, emergency contacts, and clear instructions for your pet’s specific medication schedules if required.

About: I have proudly cared for my own dog for the past 9 years as well as my family and friend’s dogs as well, giving me hands-on experience with daily walks, feeding, companionship, and overall pet care. I am a beginner to Rover, however I genuinely love animals and understand the importance of providing them with patience, attention, and a safe, caring environment. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to make them feel comfortable, happy, and loved. Pet care is already a regular part of my daily routine, as I have cared for my own dog for the past 9 years. I work full time during the week, but I am available after 6PM on weekdays for walks, drop-in visits, and quality time with pets. On weekends, I have open availability and can dedicate more time to longer walks, playtime, and personalized care. I enjoy spending time with animals and make it a priority to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their established routine as closely as possible to help pets feel comfortable and secure. I ensure they have fresh water, are fed according to instructions, receive plenty of attention, exercise, and bathroom breaks, and are always kept safe. I also provide updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind while they are away. My goal is to treat every pet with the same love, patience, and care that I give my own dog.

About: I took care of my childhood dog since I was 13, and that was for around 4 years. I am open to learning new things in order for your dog to be happy. I’m planning on getting a part time job, so I’ll have more than enough time in the mornings and late afternoon to take care of your cutie! I will always make sure to follow client-specific rules for their pets in order to keep fur babies safe and comfortable during our time together.

“She is an excellent sitter for our two cats. This was our second time and we will happily hire her again in future. She goes above and beyond; in the warm weather she visited an additional time just to make sure our cats weren’t too hot. We are comfortable traveling with the knowledge that our kitties are in good hands.”

“Ashley did a wonderful job caring for my 2 cats while I was away! One of my cats is shy and requires daily medication, and she handled both without any issues. She kept up with feeding, cleaned the litter box, and was very communicative — sending daily pictures and updates that gave me great peace of mind. I highly recommend Ashley as a pet sitter!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​”

Suzanne took care of our two kitties for two weeks, one of which was very shy. She did an excellent job and even our shy boy was comfortable with her. Suzanne is responsible and caring. She made it easy for me to enjoy vacation and not worry too much about leaving them. I highly recommend her.

Courtney is great. She’s professional, prompt and kind. She communicated well and sent lots of pictures so we could see our kitty enjoying his life while we were away. Our kitty gets walks on a leash in the neighborhood and she is very adept getting him in and out of his harness and catio. I will definitely ask her to watch Smokey again.

Excellent care! Would highly recommend Damian. We have a boxer with degenerative myopathy who struggles with her back end. He did drop in visits helping her with potty breaks and keeping her company. She got comfortable with him pretty quick and he did a wonderful job. He even helped out when our stay at home person had a medical emergency. I felt like I had someone I could trust while we were away.
