About: I've been around animals since I was a kid. I am very comfortable with dogs and cats. I have a dog at home and have dog-sat for friends and family since I was a teenager. Whether it's taking a long walk or cuddling on the couch, I am happy to give your pet whatever they need. I have a dog at home so I am used to going on walks every day and a feeding routine. I've taken her to vet appointments and given her various medications for routine stuff like tick protectant. Over the years, I've helped friends and family take care of pets including walks, dog sitting, baths, and even puppy play dates. I do not offer boarding at my home but I plan to be respectful of both pet owners space as well as your pet's space. No matter where the pet is, whether that's on a walk or in a fenced yard, I will be alert and focused on the safety of your pet.

About: Hi there! I have had animals my whole life, both cats and dogs! I've trained and had puppies and taken care of older puppies when they need it most. I love helping dogs get their physical and mental energy out through walks, playing, training sessions, and more! Let me help you and your puppy out while I'm away from home. I'm new to the area and would love to get to know the area through walking your doggo!! I'm working full-time during the week around 9-5 and would be able to go in the AM or PM during the week. I'm free on the weekends to come hang out with your pets whenever! Unfortunately, I cannot take animals into my home but, I am able to come watch your pets in your house and take them on a walk or play with them in the backyard or at a dog park new by! I also know a lot about training dogs and would love to teach them so new tricks for you to come home and see and learn with them!

“We cannot say enough positive things about Roman! He is incredibly kind and responsive- We needed help with our senior yellow lab and had some unique needs for our pup and family while we were in the hospital with a newborn - Roman went above and beyond with kindness and flexibility to help our family in a crazy time, and was a true life saver! His love of animals is clear - we would recommend him to anyone and will absolutely ask for his help next time we need it.”

Amy T.

“Amy is wonderful. She was able to accommodate a meet and greet on short notice. She always sends the best photos. Astor is lucky to have her.”


Alivia M.Star Sitter

“Alivia is great with our dog! The dog is sometimes stubborn about going on walks, but loves hanging out with Alivia! And Alivia is very communicative and professional.”


Miakoda F.
“Miakoda is a wonderful individual who is kind, respectful, dedicated, and straightforward with both people and all animals. These qualities create trust and connection, which are key to any interactions I want to have. I have entrusted my furry ones of all sizes and species with her, and they are comfortable, relaxed, and secure with her caring presence.”


Carey L.
“Carey has done wonderful work with not only my dog, but with my daughter's dog. She is patient, caring, and very attentive to the dogs. While taking my dog for walks she has taught him to heal and wait to keep him safe for crossing the streets and when other dogs approach. She always checks his paws for any injuries after their walk. Carey works with the dog not only to give it exercise, but to engage his mind too. She loves my dog like her own. He is always excited to see her, even the mention of saying 'Carey's here' makes him jumping around excited. She takes him in the rain, and dries him off and snuggles with him when they are done. I could not have asked for a better dog walker/sitter, and would highly recommend her for any type dog!”


Roman C.

“We cannot say enough positive things about Roman! He is incredibly kind and responsive- We needed help with our senior yellow lab and had some unique needs for our pup and family while we were in the hospital with a newborn - Roman went above and beyond with kindness and flexibility to help our family in a crazy time, and was a true life saver! His love of animals is clear - we would recommend him to anyone and will absolutely ask for his help next time we need it.”


Jessica M.

“Jessica has held an intense love for animals for as long as I have know her (over a decade!). This love translates to near-unparalleled attention for all animals in her care. Dogs, cats, birds, goats, or horses; Jessica knows her stuff and will always do what is right by the animal. She also has a kind, sunny personality that means she is pleasant and easy to talk to. Every animal I have left with her has come back to me safe and sound. Even my more difficult cat seemed to hate her less than he does everyone else in the universe (which is impressive considering he barely even likes me and I’ve had him since he was a kitten). All that is to say; Jessica can be trusted to care for your animals safely and with care.”


Angel P.

“Angel did so good with my dog, Oreo. She took great care of him on his walk and made sure he needed everything. I would most definitely book Angel again! Thank you so much !”

“Michelle took amazing care of our pets — Marlo, Mika, Gaia, and Mila — while we were away. She provided walking, feeding, and overnight care, and we couldn’t have asked for a more professional and attentive caregiver. From the start, Michelle was communicative and informative, keeping us updated and ensuring we felt confident that our pets were in good hands. Her calm and friendly demeanor made it clear she genuinely cared about our animals’ well-being. We came home to happy pets and a tidy home. We’re so grateful for her help and would highly recommend Michelle to anyone looking for reliable, compassionate pet care.”

“Gillian would be a great pet sitter and/or walker. She has great experience in pet sitting to include staying at our home so as not to leave the dogs alone for extended time.

She is loving and caring and has such a calm demeanor when around pets (and people) that she would be a great fit for anyone looking for a trusted person to take care of their cherished pets!”

Evan N.
“October 2, 2023 To Whom It May Concern: It is my pleasure to recommend Evan Neuhaus for the position of pet sitter or dog walker on Rover. I have known Evan since he was born and as a child, I saw someone who would work as hard as possible to learn about new situations and a determination to succeed at tasks. About seven years ago he decided to move to California and came to stay with me before going back to New York about 4 years later. I am the founder and director of a nonprofit 501c3 dog rescue since 2014 with over 17 years in formal rescue with other groups. I am also a foster parent to many dogs at a time sometimes up to 7 dogs in the house. Overall, Evan is a highly intelligent person and has good analytical skills which was a great help to me working with the dogs who were here until they were adopted. Evan can clearly see how each individual dog's needs were so he could help them become model citizens for a new family and worked with the dogs every day to help train them with me. He is insightful and shows sensitivity to their needs. Evan has decided to devote his life to helping dogs. He is a kind and caring person and has excellent communication skills with them. Evan is very proficient in applying what he has learned over the years in relation to how dogs act. At a personal level, Evan is a well-disciplined, industrious man with a pleasant personality. He always goes above and beyond when he works at any job and I trust him completely. I therefore highly recommend Evan for this position. His performance helping me with the dogs in my rescue is a good indication of how he would perform as a dog sitter or walker with your business. I know he would be an extremely positive asset to your program. If I can be of any further assistance, or provide you with any further information, please do not hesitate to contact me. Yours sincerely, Lisa R. Pittel Founder dogzonerescue@yahoo.com Director Dogzone Rescue San Francisco, CA”
