Emma was amazing! From the moment she picked up Churro, you could see that she absolutely LOVES dogs and takes her task seriously. She was on time, took time to ask all the necessary questions to build trust and had an amazing attitude towards our Churro. Churro came back exhausted and happy. She sent pictures during the walk and gave updates the entire time. 5 stars is not enough

About: I’ve been a dog person since diapers—started with my parents’ pup, then my own fur baby who lived to 18. Now I’m raising my 4‑year‑old sweetie. Dogs love my calm vibe (and maybe my treat). My friends joke I’m their “dog’s favorite human,” because I’m always the first call when they need a sitter. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work from home and, being between jobs, I have plenty of free time to give dogs my full attention. I love taking long walks in nature with my own dog—it’s a therapeutic boost for both of us. Living in a peaceful neighborhood and tranquil home makes it easy to provide a calm, safe environment. I typically walk 2–3 times a day, so regular exercise and companionship are always part of my schedule. Safety is a top priority in my home. I have a spacious, secure, closed balcony where dogs can enjoy fresh air safely, and my own friendly dog is happy to provide companionship for your pup. There’s also a fenced area by my entrance, which adds an extra layer of protection to prevent dogs from slipping outside. With these safeguards, you can feel confident that your pet will be cared for in a safe and welcoming environment.

About: I love dogs and care about every dog I walk. I am experienced, vet tech trained and get a kick out of walking dogs! I give solo stress-free walks with just your pup that fit in with your schedule. I keep my schedule open for my clients needs and am happy to help on a last minute basis when need be. I enjoy seeing dogs as often as needed to make things comfortable and convenient for you. I care for dogs I walk the same way I care for my own pets. I ensure they are walking well and I keep dog away from other dogs during walks and give lots of love of course.

As first-time users of the Rover app, we were unsure of what to expect. Jane was quick to respond to our request, despite it being short notice, and helped me through the steps. Her communication was on point and she put my mind at ease during our meet and greet. She took photos of our dog and even fed our cats! 100% would book her services again and would recommend Jane to anyone needing doggie services! Thank you!!!

Korin does a great job. We have a senior dog and a reactive 3yo dog. She comes to our house, takes them both on a walk at the same time (challenging to do) and sends photos and updates throughout. We are so lucky to have connected with her!

About: I have had a dog with diabetes that required insulin with each meal! I’m experienced with administering regular meds too! I’m very focused on making your animal healthy and happy while you are out. I’m currently taking care of animals full time, so I’m available anytime unless I’m on vacation! Happy to visit your fur baby anytime of the day! I’ll visit your fur baby, administer meds if needed, and play with them! Can use stimulating toys if your fur baby needs more to wear them out!

I was amazed how calm my pit bull Dalmatian mix was after his walk with Felicia, He never sleeps through the night, being 1yr old hes always so energetic he chews my stuff up while I sleep. Toys are not enough to keep his spazyness under control lol, but after his walk he went strait to bed :) deff will be booking Felicia again for evning walks!

About: Missing my pack! Ready to love yours. Hi Yay Area! I'm a pet lover currently in a (temporary) pet-free zone. Growing up, my home was run by 4 dogs, 2 cats, a cool snake, and a fish tank that was its own little world. I know the joy—and the juggle—of caring for a full house! I'm here to provide reliable, loving care so you can breathe easy. Let's schedule a meet-and-greet to see if your dog and I are instant besties. No pressure, just pets and good vibes. DOG LOVERS OF THE WORLD UNITE! 🐾 I work from home mostly and have the freedom and desire to run errands throughout the day. To me taking care of dogs is the responsibility of everyone in the village. For me and my dog I believe he is at his happiest when he is tired physically and mentally. That means using different puzzles and going on runs.

About: Hello! My name is Mary. I am a lifelong pet owner and animal enthusiast. I grew up on a horse farm with dogs, cats, horses, hamsters, and the odd rogue toad, so caring for animals with love and respect is literally second nature. I'm a somatic embodiment coach by trade, so I have a unique skill set for helping animals feel relaxed and comfortable in my care. I have joyously fostered 20+ dogs and cats in their transition to forever homes, and have extensive experience with house and pet sitting. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and breeds, from 6 pound little weasels to 80 pound gentle giants. I have a special place in my heart for seniors (and have experience caring for them.) I am comfortable and experienced with administering medication. Because I work from home online and over zoom, I can accommodate animals that need a shorter window of alone time. I'd be delighted to treat your fur family with all the love and care I would give my own. I look forward to hearing from you! I have my own online business, so my schedule is very fluid and flexible. I love walking dogs and can easily do day or evening walks and stop-bys. I have experience with staying in many different homes and I know that every animal has its own unique routines, needs and rituals that help it feel in flow. I'm very happy to work with your pet in the way they are used to.

Whitney has walked my dog, Otis, for almost a year and a half and has been so wonderful! She was super reliable and flexible with my weird work schedule. He’s an accident prone guy and she’s been so patient with his various injuries, limps, medicines, treat restrictions, etc. I always got the silliest, cutest pictures of him which brightened my day! So appreciative of the peace of mind for my little mutt! I’m moving, so I have to cancel our service and we will miss Whitney! Thank you!

About: I have loved animals my whole life! My walls were always adorned with National Geographic photos of my favorite creatures and I longed to one day have my own little wolf pack! I grew up mainly with cats and have a huge adoration for the felines of the world. I once had a three legged cat named Ziggy ( Stardust) whom was my most treasured companion. I always had friends with a lot of dogs who depended on me to love and support them as my own. Currently, I have a 8 year old Black Labrador Retriever named Olive who has been my closest furry friend for years! I truly consider her a part of me. I also have been raising my Yellow Lab pup, Juniper, since she was 8 weeks old. She is now currently 4 years and 2 months old. Raising a puppy has by far been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life and I have had so much fun training her! I consider myself a confident two legged friend who knows how to set healthy boundaries so that a pup can become the best they can be! I am a practicing herbalist and my heart is always geared towards healing. I care deeply for the sweet animals in my life! I am currently working part time and am an online student. Generally, I am available some mornings for dog walking and some nights as well. Sitting is a possibility but may be limited to my schedule. Feel free to ask! I like to play a little fetch or tug with them out in the yard or whatever keeps your pup stimulated:) But happy to take a nice long walk when appropriate for your pooch. I am very attentive to all animals and do my best to make them feel comfortable and loved.

About: Through having dogs myself, dog walking, and taking care of friends dogs for the past 9 years I have experience sitting, walking, and playing with dogs. In the past year I have adopted the sweetest dog named Cariño, a 35 pound terrier mix, and have cared for them through their puppy stages and now into adulthood! I primarily have experience with dogs weighing 10-60 pounds and dogs of all ages. I'm good at taking control of a situation and can also understand when a dog is scared, upset, or just needs a break. I have a car so I can come to you and live walking distance from Lake Merritt. I'm currently working part-time and have plenty of time to go on hikes, walks, or check in on your pup! I am flexible during weekdays and am unavailable on weekends currently. I have experience raising my own currently one and a half year dog. I can easily crate your dog and leave them well-rested. I do not let dogs go outside unleashed unless there are specific instructions to do so. I work part-time and have a flexible schedule so I am happy to make things work with your pet needs whether it's morning, middle of the day, or early evenings. I am not accepting pets in my home because we have a dog and a cat who are a bit sensitive to other pet friends.

About: I love animals! I have been lucky to have had so many loving and wonderful cats and dogs in my life. I have had my own pets, as well as taken care of numerous friends pets over the years. It's fun taking care of new pets, they all have such unique personalities! I can administer medications, and I'm very good at following all your instructions to best take care of your critters. I moved to the Bay Area in 2025, and I'm excited to be here! I have a flexible schedule, and I'm happy to spend plenty of time with your pets. I am very good at following your directions on when and how much to feed your pets, when they are used to their walks, etc. I have administered medication to pets. I very much care about the safety and well being of your fur babies.

Yonte took incredibly good care of my dog over an extended period of time and I am very grateful for her support. My dog has some behavioral reactivity and Yonte was willing to put in the time to get to know how best to care for her. She then took care of my dog for several months, going above and beyond to meet her needs for exercise and love. I would trust Yonte with all pet sitting, from short walks to extended stays. She definitely has an intuitive sense with pets and is very loving with them. She is also incredibly kind and easy to work with. I cannot recommend Yonte highly enough for the extraordinary care and love she puts into pet sitting! Thank you, Yonte!

“My pup has officially found their new best friend! 🐾 Our dog walker goes above and beyond—whether it’s extra belly rubs, little updates with photos, or making sure my fur baby comes home happy and tired. I think my dog might like walks with them more than me (but I’ll try not to be jealous 😅). Couldn’t ask for a more caring, reliable, and tail-wag–approved walker
