“This was my first time using Rover, and Raymond made it a great experience. He was friendly, responsive, and punctual throughout the whole process. I felt confident leaving my cat in his care and would definitely book with him again!”
“Kendall was absolutely AMAZING with our cutie pitbull while we were out of town. He was super responsive and you can tell based on the pictures that were sent that our girl was SO incredibly happy to play and walk with him. He was even so considerate to coordinate with my MIL to have a meet and greet before officially coming to take care of her. Highly highly recommend!! Thank you, Kendall!”
“Once again Shelli kept our anxious Golden happy. We greatly appreciated her immediate response to our request, which was at the last minute. Cannot recommend her highly enough.”
“Faith was amazing with Scout! Scout was a little sleepy when she arrived, but Faith knew just how to brighten her day. They spent time outside in the sun (Scout’s favorite!), played fetch, and Scout even got to enjoy a bone. Faith made sure everything was taken care of—she checked the pee pad, food, and water levels, and sent the cutest photos that totally made my day. It’s clear she really cares. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful and attentive walker!”
“Gina was great and went above and beyond watching my cat. She got my mail and dealt with some issues I couldn’t handle from vacation. Also very sweet - wouldn’t hesitate to book her again!”
About: I have been a parent to my dog Banjo for four years, starting when she was 3 months old. After having Banjo, I began to dog sit for two of my family's neighbors, who we are close to. In my experience, I have been efficient in dog walking, visits to the house every couple of hours, senior dogs (giving correct medication dosages), overnight sitting, and housesitting (watering plants + collecting mail). I am currently a college student at Cal State Long Beach and since focusing simply on school, I have more free time on my hands. I am free on weekends and Tuesdays/Thursdays from morning to noon. Inside the house I will make sure to keep my full attention on your dog in order to make sure they have all their needs taken care of. When on a walk I am good at keeping a dog close to me and staying vigilant since my own dog is known to bark and pull a lot.
About: ⭐️ Flea meds must be up to date 🐾 Now offering DOG WALKING! 🚗 Local pickup & drop-off available — just let me know! I’m home full-time and dedicated to giving your pup round-the-clock love, cuddles, and care. Dogs have been a part of my life since the day I was born — and they always will be. I’ve raised my own senior dog, Coco (a 12-year-old Miniature Pinscher/Chihuahua mix), and learned firsthand how to adjust to special diets, house/crate training, and gentle senior routines. She looks like a tiny reindeer and has taught me so much about patience, communication, and long-term care. Whether your dog is young and energetic or older and chill, I know how to meet their unique needs with kindness, structure, and heart. I'm home 100% full-time, so your pup will receive constant attention, care, and playtime throughout the day. Pet care is truly a family effort! I’m supported by my two grown children — Erilynn (29) and Eyon (23) — who help out at no extra cost. Together, we’re Trust in Mee Dog Services, and we treat every dog like one of our own. Bonus: My son has professional pet care experience from working at PetSmart, where he earned Employee of the Month twice. That hands-on expertise brings an added layer of love and confidence to our care. 🛏️ Boarding & Daycare available every day 🚶♀️ Now offering Dog Walking! 🚗 Local Drop-off & Pick-up available upon request We take your dog’s safety and comfort seriously — and we always aim to create a peaceful, structured environment where every pup feels at home. 🐾 We ask that your dog gets along well with others. If they need space or have any quirks or behaviors we should be aware of, just let us know — we’re happy to make accommodations. 🐶 Aggressive behavior toward people cannot be accepted. 💉 All dogs must be up to date on flea/tick prevention and vaccinations. 📦 Please bring your dog’s leash/collar, poop bags, and food for their stay. Spots are limited and not reserved until officially booked, so we recommend confirming early! Our neighborhood is very dog-friendly, and we’re just a short walk from a large grassy area — perfect for peaceful strolls and playtime. Our apartment also has a fenced-in yard space we block off for fresh air and supervised dog play. We genuinely look forward to hosting your pup! 💛
“Mary was incredibly warm and supportive. She went out of her way to help me and I really appreciated it. My cat can be shy but warmed up to her quickly.”
“HIGHLY recommend. Madison was absolutely lovely with our girls - was on time to all of the visits and followed instructions for their care perfectly. Even got our shy girl, who typically wants nothing to do with strangers, to feel safe enough to ask for some pets. We are so thankful to have found Madison and feel great about the safety and care provided. 💗”
“Michelle was great with our pup! We did a quick meet and greet the week prior and she instantly made friends with Baxter. She did two drop in visits while we were out and all went well. She was on time, followed instructions and took great care of our pup. I’ll definitely use her services again when needed!”
“Meghan is awesome!! My dogs love her and so do I! Reliable, handled my dogs either ease, and provided timely updates on how the visits went. Will definitely use her again!”
“Kennedy was such a great sitter! I needed a last minute sitter and he was able to help me check in on my 13 year old pug all week. He gave her lots of love and provided updates. As a pet sitter myself, I 100% recommend Kennedy and his services. Reliable, friendly, and a true pet lover!”
About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals, hands-on experience, and lifelong commitment to dog care. I’ve worked at Dioji K-9 Resort and Athletic Club, where I monitored group play, maintained feeding routines, ensured cleanliness, and supported emergency procedures. I’ve also owned dogs my entire life, giving me a deep understanding of their needs at every age. I’m patient, attentive, and confident with dogs of all sizes and temperaments—whether it’s energetic puppies or senior dogs who need extra care. Your pup will always feel safe, comfortable, and truly cared for with me. I’m currently a student at Cal State Long Beach, working toward my degree in Mechanical Engineering. Over the summer, I’ve been taking a class that’s wrapping up soon. I work part-time at Movita Juice Bar, but I’m looking to pick up more hours—ideally doing something I genuinely love, like caring for dogs. I’m originally from Santa Barbara and have two white huskies back home. Being away from them has been tough and has made me realize how much joy and comfort animals bring. That’s why I’m excited to join Rover, to help care for your pets while also filling the furry friend–shaped space in my heart. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or my client’s, I prioritize creating a safe, clean, and calm environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely, whether that includes feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or administering medications. I pay close attention to behavior and body language to ensure they’re comfortable and stress-free. In a client’s home, I respect their space, keep things tidy, and provide updates with photos or messages for peace of mind. My goal is always to make pets feel loved, secure, and cared for, just like they would be with their own family.
About: I have years of experience caring for children of all ages, have owned dogs my whole life, and even care for my grandmother. I am a responsible young woman who graduated from USC with a Masters in Public Health who is looking to help other people out with their busy lives. I currently work remote full time and am able to help walk pups in the early morning before work, afternoons, and on the weekends whenever dog owners need me! Our dog, Mac, currently uses a doggy door to access our backyard where he will sunbathe and enjoy the grass. I am flexible with any kind of care your dog needs.

Shelli is the best! Very prompt and very responsive with her updates. Thank you very much Shelli for all the help this summer.
Stephanie is a big cat lover— exactly who I want watching after my needy boy. She is attentive, responsive and goes above and beyond. Plus my cat loves her, he looks like he’s fine if I never return in the photos she sends lol.
Kendall did such an amazing job taking care of my cat while I was away! He took very detailed notes and set lots of photos and videos which eased any worry I had. Best sitter I’ve had on Rover by far. Highly recommend and will most definitely be asking him to help in the future. Thank you Kendall!
Cecily was great and very caring. She was very patient with our cats, especially the shy one. She provided lots of photos for us to look at throughout our vacation, and even helped keep the apartment clean which was really nice to come back to!
Shea is so amazing with penny! She uses commands and works with her and I can tell penny is always super happy to see her! It makes me feel so much better as a single (dog) mom to know my baby is in good hands. She also always brings in all my Amazon packages and I can trust her to leave my home and animals feeling safe!!! So happy.
Christina is great! I’ve booked her several times and she is communicative, trustworthy, and flexible. Always puts me at ease when we’re away and the kitties and tortoise enjoy her company. Highly recommend.
Janet was very respectful of our home and took wonderful care of my dog Heidi. She sent me consistent updates and was caring and responsible with my 5 year old female pitbull mix.
Kimberly did a great job with my pups-they love her and I love that they received the love and attention they needed and then some! Thank you, Kimberly! 🐾
Julie looked after our young cat for our second time, during our recent three week vacation. Everything went great! She left us detailed messages about his activities, moods and play sessions, along with some cute photos. Really took the time to get to know him and his likes/dislikes over this long vacation. Wonderful sitter, caring and communicative! We plan to employ her for any future trips.
Sam was fantastic with Benny & Cole . His communication was great and timely. We contacted him last minute when we had a cancellation & he gladly filled in short notice for our vacation & he did a great job👍🏽
Amber was a great help watching my cats while I was out of the country. I was able to relax knowing they had everything taken care of!
My dog Mila absolutely adored Korrina! Korrina arrived on time and made sure all of Mila’s needs were met during her drop in visit. We would absolutely recommend Korrina for all of your pet needs. She is honest, on time, reliable and loves animals.
Kennedy was such a great sitter! I needed a last minute sitter and he was able to help me check in on my 13 year old pug all week. He gave her lots of love and provided updates. As a pet sitter myself, I 100% recommend Kennedy and his services. Reliable, friendly, and a true pet lover!
I’m so grateful Leigh-Ann was able to step in last minute to watch my two dogs. She is reliable, responsive, and treats my puppies with so much care. Gives me real peace of mind knowing they are in good hands. Highly recommend her.
Juan is kind, considerate, and communicates well. He was on time, followed instructions well, and was very good to my two pups. He played with them, picked up all refuse, and followed directions well. I would absolutely hire him again, and will use him in the future for services.
