About: Growing up surrounded by dogs has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. From an early age, I learned how to care for them—feeding, walking, playing, and making sure they felt safe and loved. Each dog I’ve had has taught me patience, responsibility, and the joy that comes with building a bond of trust. Because of this lifelong experience, I understand the importance of attention, consistency, and affection when it comes to caring for a dog. I genuinely love spending time with them, whether it’s for a walk, a game of fetch, or simply sitting together and giving them the comfort they need. My background makes me a dependable and loving caregiver, and I would treat your dog as if they were my own. Your dog’s happiness, safety, and well-being would always be my top priority. My partner and I work from home during the week and take about four long walks throughout my day. Both of us being home allows us to give the dogs attention and make sure that they are having fun When pet sitting I use the commands and rules that the dog is familiar with and make sure that the dog is comfortable with me before taking them on a walk.

“Allie, is so great! Very dependable and goes the extra mile to help you in need....like cleaning up those boggy accidents. We appreciate her!”

“Finding Wendy has be a big relief. She is absolutely wonderful with each of our animals. Our sweet boy JellyBean (kitty) even let her approach him on the first meeting. That speaks volumes. Our girls, (dogs) love her too. She is kind and patient with them and is eager to learn their unique personalities. That makes me very happy.”

“Sai was so great at taking care of my sweet, old dog! He fed her and gave her water and treats as I asked, and gave her tons of attention and great walks! Also, he took a ton of photos and provided great detail on each walk! I would absolutely recommend Sai.”

“Dominoe is so sweet and patient with my anxious little guy! He felt completely comfortable with her by the end of their first walk. Can’t wait to book her again!”

About: Growing up with dogs, cats, bunnies, birds, and hamsters taught me that every animal has their own love language. Right now, I'm mom to five fur babies, so I'm used to chaos, cuddles, and everything in between. Your baby won't just be watched; they'll be loved. Working part time in the morning so, I have all afternoon to watch your fur friends. I also have weekends for any overnight sitting needed. I can follow any instructions needed for your fur babies so, no need to worry on the routines or habits that need to be followed!

About: I grew up taking care of pets! My childhood dog Olivier was an unusual mix; he was an eye-catching, mutant-sized Dachshund who got a lot of attention walking down the street, and we had a couple of independent-minded kitties. My family still has multiple dogs and cats. I absolutely adore dogs and feel strongly about tuning in to who they are - if they want to play, it's on! If it's a shy guy or gal, I respect their space if and until they feel more comfortable. I facilitate healing workshops and I'm an artist with a variable schedule that I keep up-to-date on my Rover calendar. I'm currently living in a building that doesn't allow dogs and I love cats but am super allergic. So daily pet care for me is making friends with and greeting my doggy neighbors. When I've had pets or boarded them previously with Rover, I always make sure to find out the basics of their personality from you, their favorite human. They deserve the same consideration we give people! Currently only offering walks, not boarding.

About: I have trained and cared for my dog for 9 years. She is incredibly happy and well behaved because of the love and care I have for her which I want to spread and treat other animals with as well! I also love to take care, watch over, and walk my friends' dogs as well. I understand all dogs have their own personalities and routines, so I am always sure to follow those routines to keep your pets happy! My schedule is highly flexible with my availability being all days of the week. Monday and Wednesdays I have slightly less flexible hours for dog walking, but for day and night sitting it's all fine! I have a spacious, fenced front yard and a viewing area where I can watch all animals at all times to keep everyone safe and happy! For day and night sitting, I am sure to be extremely careful of your space and to follow any specific routines your furry friend may need!

“Hi Carolina, Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of Ulises! He was in great hands, and the walks helped him burn off so much energy, which definitely made life easier for us. We’d be happy to have you walk him again anytime! Uli also sends a big thank you. We really appreciated how responsible you were and how you kept us updated throughout the day—it gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was doing well. We’re so grateful we could count on you these past few days. You were such a huge help, and we truly appreciate everything you did for Ulises. Thank you again! ❤️”

About: I’ve been around animals for most of my life. I grew up with a family dog and was involved in his daily care and training, including potty training, basic commands, and helping him manage separation anxiety. That experience taught me a lot about being patient, consistent, and attentive to a dog’s individual needs and behavior. I currently have four cats of my own and previously cared for a rabbit for four years. I’m very comfortable with the everyday responsibilities of pet care, including feeding, cleaning, playtime, and keeping up with each pet’s individual routine. I also successfully litter-trained my rabbit. I’ve also cared for dogs for friends, including a Border Collie, German Shepherd, and Pit Bull, so I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I’ve helped with basic training as well, including potty training and crate training. As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to follow your pet’s usual routine and any specific instructions you provide. I want every pet in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away. I’m currently a PhD student, which gives me a very flexible schedule, and I do most of my work from home. This allows me to spend plenty of time with pets throughout the day and easily fit walks, drop-in visits, playtime, and feeding into my routine. During the summer, I don’t have teaching responsibilities, so my availability is especially flexible. During the academic year, I’m generally flexible most days of the week, with Thursdays and Fridays being my busier days. I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that fits your pet’s usual routine. I provide care in my clients’ homes, where I do my best to keep each pet’s routine as familiar and consistent as possible. I carefully follow your instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, litter box care, medications, and any other specific needs your pet may have. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, so I always adjust my care to what makes them most comfortable. Whether your pet loves attention and playtime or prefers a little more space, I’ll respect their boundaries and make sure they feel safe and cared for in their own environment. I’ll also keep you updated while you’re away so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and doing well.

About: I have always loved animals ever since I was a kid. Whether it was pet sitting a family friends dog or feeding my neighbors cats, I have always found joy in caring for animals. Before my family adopted our dog Amber I would pet sit dogs as often as possible. These experiences have taught me many lessons and helped me to have patience and provide dogs and cats with the right amount of support. My family adopted our dog Amber seven years ago and I have been her primary care taker including feeding and walking her. We got her as a puppy and I was responsible for training her. Amber gets along very well with other pets and we have had other dogs stay with us, and they get along very well. I also worked at a doggy day care facility that included a swimming portion, where I would monitor and motivate dogs to swim and get a good workout in. This job helped me gain experience with all different sizes and temperaments of dogs. I was able to manage up to 15 dogs at a time, making sure no fights broke out and they all stayed happy. My schedule is very open I work a part time job for about 10 hours a week. I keep my schedule updated to avoid any confusion. When caring for your dog I will first start slow let the dog/cat get acclimated to me and according to your instructions feed, walk, and care for your pet. I can stay as long as requested help your pet with whatever is needed. I am so excited to meet your pets and if you have any questions I am happy to answer them!

About: Hello! I'm a trustworthy, caring, pet & plant lover with years of pet- & home-sitting experience under my leash… er, belt. My very first foray into pet-sitting was as a teenager, when a family friend asked me to care for their pet rabbit while away. That lovely little rabbit was a great teacher – one lesson that really stuck was how all creatures are sacred, and deserving of love & respect. These days I most commonly look after dogs & cats, but also have experience with smaller animals (fish, birds, iguanas..), and have sat house for friends, family & strangers alike, the world over. I returned to the US after living & working abroad for several years, and am currently based in lovely and iconic Highland Park. I work from home, so no problem keeping your four-legged(s) company through the days, and providing ample outdoor breaks. I also have a daily meditation practice, which many of the pets I look after find either odd, amazing, or nothing special at all. Some have even been known to join in with me! I’d love to meet you and your furries, so please don’t hesitate to reach out any time. And if you’d like to speak with any of my previous clients, they’d be more than happy to give a reference. Thanks for checking me out – I hope to connect with you soon! As mentioned, I work from home. I'm online with clients for several hours of the day. All I really need is a good wifi connection and a (relatively) quiet place to work. My schedule is also quite flexible, so I can set longer breaks and rearrange my start and end times to better suit your pet's needs. Of course all the usual feeding, outdoor breaks, walking, snuggling, positive communication and energy. And then, as per the pet's and client's needs, I'm open and able to provide the best experience possible for your furries.

“Eric has been our dream dogwalker! We were looking for someone to take our dog Shiloh on consistent hikes and long walks in order to build up her stamina - we’re a few weeks in with Eric and are already seeing her energy levels improve! Eric is consistent, reliable, trustworthy, great at communicating, and most importantly - Shiloh loves him! She practically waits at the door for him now :) thank you so much for everything Eric, can’t wait for more fun hikes and walks for Shiloh!”

About: I’ve been taking care of my brothers’s dogs for years. As a former early childhood teacher, I have a lot of energy and patience. I don’t exaggerate when I say animals gravitate towards me! I recently left my teaching job and have a lot of availability. I’m spending time at home working on my writing, tutoring business and jiu jitsu. I’m very communicative with the pet owner and like to follow a plan. I understand that every dog has their own needs and I tailor my services for each pet.

About: Having spent my life with dogs I know the love and joy they bring and always want to return the favor. I give dogs attention and playtime while also being attentive to when they need breaks and giving them time to slow down. I am currently working independently so I love to spend as much time as possible with pets. I have lots of availability for walks and check ins and am able to work my other job while dog sitting which offers even more flexibility. I live in Brentwood which is a very dog friendly area, perfect for walks and near the beach if you are interested in having me take your dog on a field trip! I always ensure that there is somewhere for your dog to cool off, I always keep water available, and I feed them on schedule but only give special treats if you want me to.

About: I have nine-plus years of cat-sitting experience and am comfortable working with different types of feline personalities and ages. I also used to watch my neighbor’s small and medium sized dogs, take them for walks, and feed them. I am able to administer oral medication as well as provide insulin injections for diabetic cats. I am very responsible and know that animal care is crucial; I treat pets with the same amount of respect as people. I have been caring for friends’, neighbors’, and family’s pets for years. I have hands-on experience maintaining a clean and healthy environment for cats, including regular care such as cleaning litter boxes. I would love to provide care for your furry friends! I am a full time online grad student, giving me flexibility in my schedule to care for your cats and small dogs. I have a vehicle as well, making it easy to care for your pets. I care for pets by providing enriching play, ensuring their food and water needs are met, providing medication if needed, and sending photos and videos to their lovely humans.

About: I have been taking care of my friends pets for years and now would love to do it for so many other lovely people pets. I am an extreme animal lover with a special place in my heart for cats though. I will treat you’re pet like it’s my own with love and care. I am willing to almost anything to make sure you’re pet feels comfortable and gets treated just the same as you would. I haves owned cats, a couple who needed extra care, most of life so I am very comfortable with them at whatever they need. I personally have not owned a dog but have been around them my own life and can accommodate to most needs if I am told and explained what to do! I currently work from home and I’m able to accommodate most scheduling needs whether early in the morning late at night or in the middle of the day as long as I have a bit of heads up to adjust my schedule. If close by I can also accommodate multiple check-in a day and really anything that you need! When it comes to checking on your pet or taking them for a walk, I am overly cautious when it comes to animals that like to make a run for it (My cat is an escape artist), As well as just listening to any important instructions from you or warnings, I should know about!
