About: I’ve lived with and have cared for both dogs and cats since I was little, and currently have 1 dog at home. I have experience handling leash reactive dogs, and have learned from trainers on how to handle situations while out walking. I am currently in between jobs so I have plenty of flexibility in my schedule to walk dogs. I can walk dogs anywhere from 9 a.m up to 3 p.m. I have a fully fenced yard that overlooks a babbling creek. There is plenty of room to run around outside and play ball. When caring for dogs i make sure there is lots of play time with different toys and games that stimulate a dogs brain as well as lots of cozy space for a dog rest.

“I am beyond pleased with the exceptional care and attention that our male dog walker provided to my two schnauzers. In just two walks, it is evident that he genuinely cares for them. His sweet demeanor and dedication make him a standout choice. I will definitely be utilizing his services again”


About: I have been a lifelong dog owner. I can care for a variety of pups from young and energetic to senior pups. I love to take my own dogs on my adventures throughout the Santa Cruz mountains from casual walks to long adventure runs and so I can accommodate whatever your dog needs. I also like to spend time training and practicing commands because dogs also like to be engaged mentally along with the physical. Of course love and affection through cuddles is always guaranteed and unlimited. I have lots of experienced with many different dog personalities and can accommodate them accordingly to make sure they are well cared for. I have a very flexible schedule that is mostly already based around my own pups so I am very much able to accommodate yours as well! I have availability to provide attentive, reliable care for your pets throughout the day and evening. I already incorporate activities like dog walking and trail running into my daily routine which means I can offer active dogs a great adventure while also being available for quiet cuddle and consistent care for all pets. In my home, I treat every guest like family. My home is a safe, dog-friendly environment with a fenced yard where they can play safely. We'll follow their regular feeding schedule and I'll make sure they get plenty of exercise with daily walks, running for high-energy dogs, and lots of mental stimulation. In the evenings, it's all about cuddles and relaxation on the couch, ensuring they feel comfortable and loved. When caring for pets in a client's home, my top priority is to maintain their familiar routine. I'll adhere strictly to their feeding schedule, walking routine, and any specific commands they know. My goal is to be a calm and reliable presence, providing consistent care and affection in their own environment. I'll also ensure your home is kept clean and secure, leaving it just as I found it.

About: Use code SARAD43819 for $20 off your first Rover booking! I have always had pets since I was young. I am a total animal lover and have lots of time throughout the day to take your pup on walks, play fetch, and let them run around our spacious back yard. I now currently have a Mini Australian Shepherd who loves to play with other dogs. I am a part time teacher, so I am free after 12:30 M-F and weekends. For the months of June and July I am available any time during the day/night. Anytime I let pets out in the yard I will be out there with them to ensure they are safe and not getting out of the yard. We have a fairly large, fenced in flat back yard which is perfect for running around or playing fetch. I take my pup on two walks per day, one in the morning and the other shortly before dinner time (that is flexible for whether your dog needs more or less than that). My dog, Cooper, is a 4 year old old energetic and lovable Mini Australian Shepherd mix. He loves to play, but also loves his nap times throughout the day. He gets along with all dogs.

About: Hi, I'm Nora. Animals have been my constant companions and teachers throughout my life. I've had dogs since I was kid. Most of my friends have dogs or cat or both, so I took care of them many times while they were traveling. I have experience with a wide range of dog breeds from Chihuahuas, over various Terriers, Poodles, Pitbulls, Frenchies, Maltese, Newfoundlander, German Shepherds, Belgian Malinois, Labradoodles, to Great Pyrenees. Observing dogs and their behavior has always been of great interest to me. If you let them in your bed, without fail, they will all take you up on the offer. ☺️✨️ My heart also belongs to cats, I've had them and been surrounded by them since childhood. They've shown me the joys of connecting deeply with the feline guardians. Over the years, I have house sat for cats, enjoying every moment of caring for, playing with, and observing them in their unique ways. I'm here to provide attentive, caring support for your pets, ensuring they're happy and comfortable while you're away. I set my own schedule so I can fit in dog walks and drop-ins. Plan the day and service in hour-long slots and certain breaks. I live in a home with my partner and two cats, so boarding of a dog who is cat friendly is possible sometimes. House sitting works great.

About: I grew up with dogs, starting at the age of seven! I have learned so much in those years about how to responsibly care for dogs, while making them feel comfortable and loved. One of our family dogs was diagnosed with diabetes, so I am very comfortable giving insulin if that is something you need. After almost 18 years of living with dogs, I've also become comfortable giving eye drops, pills, etc. Aside from dogs, I have had hamsters and guinea pigs and was responsible for the entirety of their care. I also worked for an exotic veterinarian for 1 year. While I did not work with dogs but this position, it increased my confidence when it comes to working with animals in general. I now have my own dog, Remi. He has been a challenge but so wonderful. I feel confident working with very high energy dogs as I now have so much experience with one! He has inspired me to learn as much as I can about dog behavior and body language. I feel confident in support dogs and offering affection, as well as respecting their boundaries. If your dog is friendly and I am taking them for a walk, I’d love to bring my guy along but it’s not necessary! I am currently available every day of the week except Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. If you have need on those days, I may be able to work in the later afternoon/ early evening! I will give lots of attention! I understand that people use rover when they have to be gone for an extended period of time. So I feel it is important to make sure that I am giving your dog as much attention and love as possible. I aim to treat them as you would: focusing on their well-being and safety while also providing a fun and enriching time together.

About: I have experience with pet sitting for friends and neighbors over the past year along with having had all different breeds of dogs growing up and enjoy their company. I love to go for walks, hikes, the beach and would love to take your dog with me. I've had to give senior dogs medication and look after them. I know how hard it is to trust someone to watch your fur baby when your away and I'm that person and I will treat them like royalty. I am home everyday at 1:00. I am ready to take your dog with me on a walk or hike. If they staying with me or I pick them up for a walk or hike. Your dog will have access to a dog run area all day long. I have a house with a large fenced in yard and your dog will have complete access to outside at all times. At this time I don't have a dog of my own, so there will be no conflict between dogs. I want your dog to feel at home as much possible.

About: We have a large, fenced in, secure yard with lots of exciting smells and places to explore. Plenty of room inside our home as well, plus we both work from home, so your pet will never be left alone. My husband has been the manager of a farm at a children's summer camp for a number of years that has dogs, chickens, goats pigs and more. We’re both comfortable with administering any medications your pet might need. We work from home and have a very flexible schedule. Your pet won’t be left alone. We’d love to make connections so we have returning visitors! We’ve got a fenced in yard with lots of exciting smells and places to explore. We’ve also got two of our own friendly dogs who are happy to share their space.

Jake T.


“Plair instantly bonded with Jake. He has a gift with animals and was on time and professional. Definitely will request his services again. Thanks, Jake.”


Stacey & Avihay S.
“I’m writing to strongly recommend Stacey and Avihai for the Rover pet care organization. I’ve been friends with Stacey for over 10 years, and she’s taken care of my dog (and small children) numerous times, as has her husband Avihai. She maintains excellent communication, and sends me pictures of both my dog and my children while they are in her care, to show me they’re all happy and having fun. Her husband, Avihai, who I also know well, is the manager for a farm at a children’s summer camp, and has extensive knowledge of animal care. Finally, I’ve been in Stacey’s home dozens of times – it’s clean and spacious, with a large fenced in back yard where I’ve let my dog and kids play. Stacey and Avihai have friendly chickens, two sweet dogs, and an indifferent-to-other-animals cat. I know they takes their dogs out a lot and make sure they get plenty of exercise and fresh air, and I’m sure they would show the same care to others’ animals that they do to their own, and mine. If she weren’t one of my best friends, I wouldn’t hesitate to hire her and her husband through a pet care app. Please let me know if I can provide any more information”

Jori B.
“To whom it may concern at Rover, Jori, is a responsible and loving individual, with a heart of gold. She is pationate in all that she does and when it comes to pets it's no exception. She has cared for my dog, Ruger when he was just a little puppy. He loved seeing her, you could just see his face light up when she would come around. That was 12 years ago and to this day, when Jori shows up, you can bet that Ruger is back to being that excited puppy once again. Not only does she have a way with him, she has a way with my deaf dog Ella and my two cat's (Bourbon & Whiskey). She is kind, patient, and has an easy going nature about her, that I think animals are able to connect to. Even my temperamental cat, Whiskey is fascinated with her. She takes the time to provide love, cuddles, and provide companionship when when I leave on work trips. I would not hesitate to hire, Jori as she would be an excellent addition to the Rover team. She has all four of my animals approvals and trust me they are great judges of character.”
