“Adolfo really goes the extra mile. After a neighbor dog was a bit aggressive, Adolfo calmly responded to the situation and even kindly checked in with the neighbor to ensure everything was okay. It’s an incredibly responsible and caring gesture.”
“Mishel has been a great walker for my dog, Josie! Josie can be a bit anxious with new people, but she settles right in with Mishel. She takes the time to play with her inside even when their walks are short due to my dog’s anxiety.”
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!
“Amazing! Sarah was able to step in and take care of my dog. So many photos. I can see shd took Sarah on a tour of all her favorite neighborhood places. Great service!”
“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!”
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: I have taken care of and had dogs and cats my whole life. I have dog sat, walked, and boarded countless times for easy to high-maintenance dogs. I am comfortable with pets that need extra exercise, have medical regimens, or puppy/senior care. I look forward to hearing about your fuzzy friend and how I can be of assistance to you! I am a first grade teacher, so I am looking for work this summer. I am happy to create recurring visits and am flexible with timing. I am happy to adhere to any routines your pet has. I am comfortable taking long walks or runs with a dog that needs more exercise.
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!
“Marina is the best! She is always responsive and easy to communicate with. She does a great job walking our dog Bailey, and sends lots of pictures which is appreciated. She asks thoughtful questions to make sure she is taking care of everything Bailey needs. I am so grateful to her as she really helped us out when our travel plans changed last minute and we needed someone to take care of Bailey with very little notice. I would highly recommend her!”
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.
“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! 💛”
“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!”
“My pup LOVED Kristian! My guy is quite timid but took right to him. Kristian was timely,reliable, patient, and followed my instructions to the letter. He even took my pup on a run for some extra exercise. We can’t wait to work with him again.”
“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!”

Erika has been wonderful with Matisse, and I can't recommend her highly enough. Matisse is a very shy dog, so I really appreciated that Erika suggested a meet & greet before his first walk. It was clear right away how comfortable she is with dogs and how she truly cares about them. I knew that Matisse would be in great hands. I was anxious on their first day together, but Erika was thoughtful and kept me posted throughout the walk. The moment I received her first message saying that Matisse had greeted her at the door with kisses, I stopped worrying. Her patience, professionalism, and kindness made all the difference, and I am so grateful for the care she has shown Matisse. Don't hesitate to book Erika!
Keegan was amazing with Mars!! He was very considerate of his needs and made sure mars wasn’t too hot on the walk and gave him so much attention! I could tell when I got home how happy mars was to play during the day :) will definitely continue to use Keegan’s walking services and strongly recommend him to anyone!!

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. He kept me updated throughout the walk and I felt completely at ease knowing she was in good hands. Moana came back happy. I would definitely book with him again and highly recommend him to other pet parents!
Austin was great! He walked Rascal approximately twice daily for a four-day period. He reliable, communicative and easy to deal with. Rascal can be a bit cranky when he doesn’t know somone but Austin was able to handle him and earn his trust. We felt very comfortable knowing that Rascal was in good hands!
