About: As a lifelong dog lover, experienced nanny, and natural nurturer, I bring a mama bear’s instinct to protect every pup in my care. I understand canine body language, emotional needs, and health signals; allowing me to keep dogs safe, happy, and well exercised. Whether it’s a long walk, a patient introduction for a shy dog, or scratching just the right spot, I adapt to each dog’s unique personality. I leave every home spotless, always taking out trash and tidying up after myself and your pup, so you return to a happy dog and a cared for space. Because I work freelance and remotely, I can adapt my schedule entirely around your pet’s needs; ensuring they receive care and attention exactly when they need it. I understand how much pets thrive on consistency, so I follow their feeding, walk, and playtime routines closely, creating a sense of comfort and security. I’m not just stopping by, I’m truly present with your pet, offering companionship, affection, and enrichment throughout the day. If I notice any changes in health, mood, or behavior, I respond quickly and appropriately. I always keep tidy, and offer a quiet, and safe shared space within your home. In your home, I follow your pet’s routine, keeping them comfortable in your family space. I tidy as I go, always cleaning up after myself and your pet, refreshing water, and ensuring their environment stays safe, clean, and calm until you return.
“Bria is AMAZING! This was our first experience on Rover and having a puppy sometimes makes that even harder! Fortunately, Bria made it seamless. She was willing to come by before the scheduled time to meet our pup Maverick so he was familiar with her. Then, when it came time for his drop-in visit and walk, it looked like Maverick had a blast. 10/10 recommend Bria!”

Thank you so much!! I was able to enjoy the rest of my evening and know that Fitz had his potty break and got some love and affection. ??”
About: I've been taking care of dogs my whole life. I have never not owned dogs and usually I have had between 2-4 at a time.

I usually go to Fiesta Island, dog beach or Grape street Dog Park. I own a 6 year old medium sized dog that loves company. I work part-time from home and am an empty nester.

I can accommodate both crate trained dogs or no crate. Dogs are allowed on the furniture.
“Haylee was great! She developed a great rapport with our cat. Her photos were fantastic and you could really tell she was making our cat happy. We had an illness in the family and she was able to extend the duration of our service on short notice. We will use her again when we need a sitter.”

About: I am an animal lover at my core and am passionate about biodiversity conservation! I have been walking and caring for my own dogs all my life and have been pet sitting for family and friends for the last year, administering basic medical care such as medication and wound care daily. I'm a college student with classes in the mornings and some afternoons Monday-Friday. I am available in the late afternoons, evenings, and weekends and would love to spend my time taking care of animals and having fun! I keep a careful eye on pets at all times and ensure that they are safely and happily having the time of their lives! Although I am not living in a place where I can have pets, I am determined to keep them safe, secure, and happy in their homes!
About: I’ve owned dogs my entire life, all with very different personalities! I also started pet sitting from a very young age. I’m good with all ages, from puppies to seniors! I currently work on weekdays, so I’m available full time on the weekends, and anytime before 9 am and after 3 pm on Monday through Friday. But on Tuesdays I’m free all day after 11 am! At home, I have two dogs that live in the house and have access to a fenced in yard! However, I will only be able to accept services within the clients own home, so I will care for their pets however they feel is best!

About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life, and truly can’t imagine a home without animals in it. Over the years I’ve enjoyed helping neighbors and friends with their pets whenever they’ve needed an extra hand, whether that’s daily walks or extended stays while they’re out of town. One special experience was helping my dog raise her litter of 10 puppies. I thrive being outside and staying active and always enjoy having a furry companion on my adventures! I am currently home from college for summer break, so have free time during the week and weekend. My schedule is very flexible and I have lots of availability! I love long walks, trips to the beach, and the occasional jog to keep me and pets moving. At my house, I have a fenced yard with lots of space to wander!

Megan M.
“Megan has been great with our new puppy and old lady cat. She’s reliable, flexible and responsive. Highly recommend.”
Jessica R.
“I was nervous to leave my cats Sam and Evie for a couple days. Sam can be a little mean to Evie sometimes, and Evie had a cone on her head from the vet so I didn’t wanna leave her alone. I contacted Jess and she was amazing. She kept them safe, gave them both attention, and sent me updates so I knew everything was ok. She is great with animals and they truly felt safe around her!”

Hannah A.
“Hannah is the hardest and kindest worker I have ever met! I have known Hannah for many years and within those years she has taken care of many of my animals. From horses to dogs, you name it. She currently has been taking care of my 1 year old miniature dachshund. She always follows the exact instructions I leave for her, always takes her on walks, helps even train her. I will always count on Hannah to make sure my animals are well cared for, beyond my expectations.”
Tyler A.
“I have known Tyler for many years. Yes of course he is reliable, trustworthy, prompt, hard working and all the things you want when you hire a worker. But more than that, when you entrust your dog - a member of your family - to the care of someone you don't know, you want to make sure you have chosen the right person. Well that person is Tyler. He is what you would call a dog whisperer. He just has a way with dogs. He loves them and they love him! He has 3 of his own that he cares for every day including walking, washing, cleaning up after, playing with them and giving them lots and lots of love!! He keeps them safe and happy and he will do that for your dogs too!!”

Macie A.
“I have known Macie for quite a few years now. In that time she has become someone i know i can count on no matter the circumstances. She is definitely one of the most responsible, intelligent, and caring people i’ve ever known - and these characteristics lend themselves to this position perfectly. I barely trust anyone with my dog but she has walked/watched him several times for me when i’m in a pinch. He loves her. I know i don’t have to worry about anything because she is so capable. You won’t find a better dog walker and overall good person than Macie :)”
Emma Z.
“Emma was awesome with Charlie! She followed the care instructions to a T and did a great job. Charlie loved meeting Emma and spending time with her. 10/10!!!”
Hayden G.
“Hayden is an excellent caregiver for all pets. She treats them like her own doggos - with love and care. Haden is always cautious regarding safety and welfare for pets such as avoiding hot pavement during summer months. She is also good with any special directions or requests. Hayden will be more than a care giver to your fur baby, but a friend. 🐕”
Alexandra G.
“Alexandra is a nurturer at heart. Whether it be in her practice as a therapist, caring for her kids, or for her sweet kitty, or my dogs, she’s loving and responsible. Highly recommend her as a sitter.”
Alejandra & Rodrigo B.
“Catalina did a great job taking care of my dog. She walked and fed my pup with lots of love and care. I'll definitely use her services again.”
Alice S.
“Alice is amazing with animals! She has been caring for animals for as long as I can remember and she treats every pet like family. She’s helped raise our dog from a puppy, cares for our cat, and has even wrangled my mom’s four small (and very needy) dogs with patience and love. Caveat, I am her mom, but objectively she’s super responsible, kind, and truly loves every pet she meets—you couldn’t ask for a better dog walker or sitter.”

Wooded Area pet parents share their Rover experiences
Tanya did a drop in visit for our 3 Boston Terriers on relatively short notice. Tanya set up a meet and greet ahead of time and came ready with questions. Tanya was very professional and clearly experienced. We are definitely planning to use Tanya for future drop-in visits and house-sitting whenever we need it!
We had them for 2 drop ins, the first one went well but the second drop in the rover didn’t respond until 45 min after the scheduled time at which point we had already canceled our plans and headed home. They did eventually respond and offer to do the drop in but we were already on our way back.
Dorothy has been so great with helping us raise our puppy Reef! So grateful for her flexibility and our pup loves spending time with her. Communication is always very smooth and I couldn't recommend her enough! Looking forward to using her services as our puppy grows:)
My cat, Zoe Monster, was so well taken care of! It’s clear that Erin truly loves animals and goes the extra mile to make them feel comfortable and loved. I appreciated the updates and attention to detail—Zoe was happy and relaxed when I got back. Highly recommend!
Jessica was so kind to come drop in and see our kitties while we were away for the holidays. Great communication and did everything we asked (litter box, refill auto feeders, water bowls, and hang out with them). Thank you so much, we will definitely be booking you again!
Thanks Alexa! She took amazing care of Justice. He was happy, fed and got plenty of exercise and playtime. Alexa also kept me updated with pictures and messages. I can tell Justice felt comfortable and cared for, and I will absolutely hire Alexa again in the future. Thank you for being so wonderful!
