“Brooke did another great walk with our dog today! She was on time, communicative, and shared a nice update with photos after the walk. We look forward to more walks with Brooke in the future!”

“I highly recommend Regina. My husband and I were so pleased by her excellent communication and care for our dog as well as her flexibility with our schedule and her kind and friendly nature. She is the best!”

“Alana has become part of my family!! She takes great care of my 70 pound hair ball. She is extremely communicative and always always goes above and beyond! Rita (my dog) loved her and when I come home from work I can tell she has been well taken care of. It gives me ease of mind knowing Rita is with her while I’m at work. c”

“Lil Ricki loved her and behaved so well! She is an experienced Dogwalker that knows about dogs and is able to get them to act their best. She is on time, friendly, and considerate. I will definitely call on her again.”


“Jackson is a really invested dog walker. He’s so good with our pandemic pup who seems to love the attention and walks during the day with him now that we’re all back to work and school and the pup is home alone more often.”

About: I grew up with cats and dogs, rabbits, guinea pigs, and fish. We also rescued quite a few stray cats, lost kittens - we were the family that people would call! I was a proud dog parent to a Chihuahua-Rat Terrier for nearly 10 years and have lived with Shih Tzus, Bichon Frises, Poodles, Labs, and other mixed breeds. My daughter had a Cornish Rex for 15 years (a hairless cat!). I love cats and dogs and am able to connect with animals to make them feel comfortable in the absence of their primary caregivers. I'd love to meet and care for your fur babies, offering peace of mind and trust. I work from home with a fully flexible schedule, which means I'm available most of the time to walk your dog, feed, and play with them. I can also check in, feed, and give lots of attention to your cat or cats! I have a 10-year-old rescue cat from Mexico who politely ignores dogs if you have a small to medium pup for doggy daycare. I will send pics and videos to put your mind at ease. I love all animals and will genuinely care for your fur babies! Doggy Daycare: I will cater to your pet's needs. I have a dog bed next to my desk, or on my lap if they fit. If we were to set up a regular schedule, I have space to store food, dog bed, etc. so there would be no need to haul items back and forth every time. I do not keep toys or treats at home since all dogs have different diets and preferences. I'm happy to send as many pics throughout the day as you'd like! For cat check-ins: I love cats and enjoy getting to know their different personalities. I will clean litter box(es), feed according to schedule, change water, play with them and cuddle (depending on their comfort). I can water plants and/or collect mail, etc.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and caring for them has always been a natural part of my world. I truly love the companionship, loyalty, and joy that dogs bring. While I’m not quite ready to have a dog of my own yet, I really miss having one around — which is why I love helping care for other people’s pets. It’s meaningful to be able to give dogs the attention, exercise, and affection they deserve. I’m comfortable with different personalities and needs, and every dog I look after is treated like they’re my own. I currently work during the day (from home) but I have a pretty flexible schedule. I am available after 10 AM on the weekdays and I have weekend availability as well. I care for every pet as if they were my own, with a big focus on safety, trust, and keeping their routine consistent. Whether I’m in my home or a client’s home, I take the time to understand each dog’s needs, habits, and any special instructions so they feel comfortable and secure. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow their pet’s normal schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest. I make sure doors and gates are always secure, keep leashes and harnesses properly fitted, and never let dogs off-leash unless it’s in a fully fenced, approved area. I also keep food, trash, and anything potentially harmful well out of reach. I prioritize calm, positive interactions and use gentle, consistent handling to build trust. I keep owners updated with messages and photos so they always know how their pet is doing. My goal is for every dog to feel safe, cared for, and relaxed while their family is away.
“Sam is always extremely attentive and loving to our dogs. Great communication with her as well, we always know when she's going to be able to get over to our place or needs to reschedule.”

“I'm so glad that my pup, Cash, and I have Autumn. I was gone for a long time, and it meant a lot that Cash got extra mental stimulation on his walk because of Autumn's extra efforts to do a little training on the walk. She was also above and beyond helpful in tending to some of my particular requests and the logistics of the walk.”

About: Hi! I have grown up with cats and dogs my entire life. My parents were both animal lovers so at one point we had 8 cats — 4 adults and 4 kittens— and two dogs! Since being on my own, I’ve had a total of three cats. Liam was 15 when he died of cancer and Lily was almost 18. I currently have Georgia Mae who is a five year old Siamese. This summer I’m not working because I work in education. During the school year, I work part time on a a substitute basis so I have a lot of flexibility. Right now I use public transportation to get around. Georgia is indoor-only, wears a collar and bell. I always walk dogs on a leash or play with them in an enclosed space. I will ask questions about your pet and follow your instructions on how to keep them safe and happy.
About: 15+ year rabbit owner and experienced dog sitter & walker. I have cared for a wide variety of canines including reactive dogs (particularly a blue heeler mix and a lab-beagle-retriever) and older dogs. Happy to care for cats too. Huskies are my favorite. Happy to put on my studded boots and bundle up when it’s extra cold if need be! Currently between jobs, and have a lot of flexibility in my schedule outside of early mornings. My rabbits also have a flexible schedule that allows me to easily plan. I am unable to bring other pets into my home due to my rabbits, but I’m happy to walk, drop-in, or otherwise cat or dog sit for you outside of my home!
“We are so grateful for Emilie. She is caring and detail oriented—the ideal person to look after our senior dog. Having her help has been a big relief when we need someone to stop in and take care of Lela.”

About: I have had animals my entire life and loving caring for them! I have had both large and medium sized dogs and currently have a sweet 5 year old cat. I have been a pet sitter for multiple years and am comfortable with all cats and dogs! I am available to stop by during the day most days of the week and weekend! I can be flexible with my schedule to accommodate your sitting needs. I love to play and be interactive with pets but also prioritize a safe and clean space for my animals! I am comfortable taking animals in my vehicle to parks and long walks outside.
About: I've lived with animals my entire life and have been taking care of my own since I was about 7 years old. I've had a few dogs in my family: a chihuahua, shar pei, golden retriever, pomeranian, dachshund, and a chow chow; with experience from puppies to seniors. Cats have also been a constant throughout my whole life, from kittens to seniors as well. There hasn't been a moment I haven't had at least one cat in my home. I've had a few other kinds of smaller critters too: guinea pigs, hamsters, fish, and lizards. I'm well versed in pet body language and reading what they desire or need, and have lots of love to give your baby(ies)! They deserve the world. I absolutely adore all animals and spending time with them is my favorite activity. I have plenty of free time right now and can spend as much time as needed with your fur baby and make frequent check-ins or walks if desired! If your companion(s) is friendly to strangers, I will be sure to give them plenty of attention, play time, petting, and walks (if applicable) in addition to basic care and any other requests. If they're not comfortable with new people, I will respect their space and boundaries based on what they're telling me so they feel relaxed and safe. Every animal is different and I adapt to their personality and pace.
Whittier dog parents share their Rover experiences
I fell on the ice and messed up my knee so I needed someone to walk my dog at the last minute. Kiah so kindly filled in for me with my “must-have-a-walk” Dalmatian. Poppy was SO happy to see Kiah for her second walk already, which told me that I made a good choice. Thank you so much for helping me out in a pinch! Poppy and I will definitely be in touch again!

Ellie was fantastic from start to finish. She was extremely responsive right after we booked, and she even showed up a little early for the walk. She was super amenable to the few requests we had and made everything feel easy and stress-free. Our pup, Woody, loved her right away and came home as happy and cheery as ever. We highly recommend Ellie to anyone looking for a reliable, enthusiastic dog person who clearly cares about the pups she works with.
