About: I’ve taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember! Wether it be my own, my friends, or my neighbors, i’ve always loved and been very in tune with animals and nature. I have helped puppies with potty training, socialization, equipment dressing, crate training, recall, and more! I have also taken care of senior animals. Providing them comfort while administering any extra care or medication they may need, including injections of subcutaneous fluids. Overall, I have a ton of love and care for animals, as well as experience keeping them as safe and comfortable as possible. I’m currently interning remotely at a film production company located in Los Angeles. I only work Tuesdays and Thursdays and even then have a very flexible schedule. If you need a great last minute sitter/walker, i’m here for you! I treat your homes and pets as if they were my own! I am incredibly detail oriented, careful, considerate, and adept at problem-solving. I will carefully listen to any and all directions you provide and follow them to a tea, as well as be independent enough to prevent or solve and issues that may arise. I would love to ease your stress and help you take care of your beloved homes and animals!
“I have had the pleasure of Mishel walking my 60 lb boy now more than several times. She is always punctual and responsive to my messages. Marx has no complaints and neither do I.”

“Maria is the best. She is reliable, great communicator, and so wonderful with my senior dog. I wouldn't trust anyone else with him. He's big and often in pain, and she handles him with love and care. Thank you!”

“Sarah did an outstanding job walking my dog! She was incredibly thoughtful and attentive to my pup, easy to communicate with, and took great pictures on every walk. I would absolutely recommend her for any of your animal care needs!”

“Meg has been so helpful with our 7 month old Lab when his normal walker is busy. She adjusts to help him learn the best way to behave on a leash and is always very prompt!! Would highly recommend!”

About: I grew up with dogs my entire life and now have my own boy, Larry. I’m new to rover after using rover for my own pup but I am very comfortable walking all kinds of dogs whether they are friendly or ver nervous. I also have some expertise giving medications to dogs as well! I currently work Monday-Friday 9-5 so I would be available weekdays after 6pm. I have random wfh days that I would also be able to leave for a bit to walk your dog! On weekends I am generally available depending on my schedule! I am not able to take dogs in my house however, in someone else’s house, I will abide by any and all rules to keep your space clean and respected!
“We just met Ceci and they were super adept at picking up on our dog-reactive dog's behaviors. Our dog calmed down quickly with Ceci and they were nicely loose-leash walking by the end our our meet-up! Ceci was a great listener to my ramblings and intricate strategies for working with our dog's reactivity. They asked thoughtful questions and already put into play some of the techniques that we use to keep our dog under threshold. Can't wait for Ceci and our dog to walk together again soon!”

“We had a great experience with Prachi! She was reliable, communicative, and took wonderful care of our dogs and cats while we were away. We appreciated the updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind knowing our pets were happy and well cared for. As newcomers to the city, we’re happy to have found someone we can reach out to for future pet care needs! 💛”

“Lateasha took great care of my dog, both during their walk and afterwards. She followed all the post-walk care, including giving her breakfast. I got back a happy and exercised pup!”

About: I’ve grown up with both cats and dogs, which fostered a lifelong love for animals and caring for them. I truly adore every pet I meet and treat each one with kindness, patience, and lots of love. While I wait to begin my new job in September, I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets the love, attention, and care they deserve! I’m available any day of the week as needed. With over 15 years of experience caring for cats and dogs, I’m comfortable adapting to a variety of household environments and routines. I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and loving space for every pet, while making sure their individual needs and personalities are always cared for.

About: I’ve always been a huge animal lover and can’t wait to have dogs of my own once residency settles down a bit. During med school, I babysat regularly and also cared for and walked a Chihuahua for about a year — now I’m excited to spend more time with pets before becoming a dog owner myself. As a family medicine resident, I’m naturally caring, reliable, and attentive, and I always go above and beyond for the people (and pets!) I care for. I’d love the chance to give your dog plenty of love, attention, walks, and safe care whenever you need it. Pet care fits well into my daily and weekly routine. On weekdays, I’m available for visits early in the morning, late afternoons, and early evenings. I can also accommodate daytime visits if scheduled ahead of time. I’m reliable with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and check-ins, and I always try to be flexible when possible. I care for pets with patience, attention, and respect for their routine and comfort level. In a client’s home, I make sure pets feel safe in their familiar environment by sticking closely to their feeding, walking, play, and medication schedules if needed. I keep spaces clean, secure, and calm, and I always pay close attention to their behavior and needs. Building trust with both pets and owners is very important to me.
About: My extensive background in pet sitting speaks for itself, but what truly drives me is my deep connection and ability to bond with animals. I believe this personal connection is what makes me an exceptional caregiver, and it’s the reason I’m so passionate about working with pets. I have a wide open schedule. I wake up and get my pet ready for breakfast and I handle clean up around the same time. Throughout the day I engage with my pet. I have time and availability to do house visits or to walk your pet. I live in an apartment that is pet friendly. The windows are secure and the neighbors are pet lovers as well, so there is socializing and our 5 unit apartment building. The neighborhood here engages with pets on a regular basis
“Very detailed reports on how the pup did and follows directions great! Accepts last minute bookings which has been so helpful. Trust Khristian 100% with my apt and my dog.”

About: I currently have a golden retriever that I take care of. He has a lot of energy that I keep up with and love to entertain! Dogs bring me so much joy and I love to embrace it! I have owned a dog my entire life and alway assure they are happy and healthy and their tail is wagging! Taking care of a dog should not be a job, it should be enjoyment and that is how I see it. I have experience giving dogs insulin and difficult medications as well. I am currently a student that works part time, but I have plenty of time on the weekends to play with your dogs! I would love to take them for walks or even to the dog park! During the summer I have plenty of time to take the dog to the park or to play! I usually try to walk them every day and I always make sure there is a little bit of food in the bowl if they do not have scheduled feeding times.

Kelly and Frank were such kind, considerate, and communicative walkers for Tito! They went the extra mile coordinating with my other dog sitter and paid extra care to Tito’s injured paw by adjusting his walking schedule and playing with him inside. I would definitely book them again in the future!

Birger was fantastic with Moana! He was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about her well being.
