About: Hi! I’m Monica — a lifelong animal lover and someone who has a dog of my own! With years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and everything in between, I’m here to give your pet the same love and attention I’d give my own. I’ve worked with a range of pet personalities: the shy ones, the high-energy pups, and senior pets with medication needs. Whether it’s a daily walk, overnight sitting, or just some companionship while you’re away, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved. I engage with pets through cuddles, play, walks, runs, potty breaks, etc to maintain consistency! I adapt to each pet’s individual schedule to ensure they feel safe and at home always! I’d love if sometimes I could bring my golden retriever mookie if possible!!! My home is pet- friendly and provides a welcoming atmosphere! I will treat your loved one as if it were my own! I maintain the pet’s routine in their familiar space to help reduce stress or any anxiety.
“Chelsea is great! Not only did she accommodate our last minute request for a sitter, but she made the time for a meet and greet to make sure our shy pup was comfortable during her stay. She gave us the peace of mind that our dog had company when we had to be away. Super flexible and will book again!”
About: I trained and cared for my beloved yellow lab for 12 years, as well as caring for neighbors dogs when they went away on vacation. I’m comfortable with all dog breeds and will treat your dog as my own! I do social media from home so your dog will never be alone. I always get a long daily walk in around afternoon / dinner time. I have a big front and backyard to run around. I also have no other animals so no problem if your dog doesn’t do well with other dogs!
“Jill took care of our cats during a long weekend, making sure one of them got their meds everyday. She was reliable and completed reports with photos to make sure we knew they were being well taken care of. We would book with her again!”
“Marina truly has a heart for animals! My husband and I just moved to the area from Austin, Texas and we are very grateful to have found Marina! She will be our go-to pet sitter moving forward.”
“Riley is a treasure! We have a high maintenance elderly dog, and Riley went above and beyond to take excellent care of her. Our little old lady appreciated all of the time and extra care that Riley provided.”
About: I have owned dogs entire life of various breeds and sizes. Currently, I have 2 dogs, a one-year-old pitbull/lab mix and a seven-year-old greyhound/whippet/lab mix! I love taking them on long walks and snuggling up on the couch with them afterward! And i would love to do the same with any other dog :) I have a flexible schedule and can do multiple walks per day if needed. Am willing to walk dogs as long or as short as they need and will cater to their individual needs. Can walk multiple dogs at once and have experience with both puppies, older dogs, and everything in between. If you don't like walking in the cold, are busy at work, are out and about during the day, I can help you out and walk your dogs! Pet care fits very flexibly into my current routine, as I am available throughout the day and week. I am able to accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening walks depending on client needs, including regular schedules or last-minute requests. Over the next few weeks, I have a very open schedule and can be highly responsive to bookings and messages. I prioritize being reliable and consistent with timing for each walk and maintaining clear communication with pet owners. I provide attentive, safety-focused care for every dog I walk. I prioritize secure leash handling at all times, remain alert to surroundings, and follow any specific instructions provided by the owner. I am comfortable managing dogs of different sizes, breeds, and energy levels, and I adjust my pace and approach based on each dog’s needs. I ensure pets are never left unattended, avoid unsafe interactions with other animals, and maintain clear communication with owners during and after walks. My goal is to create a calm, controlled, and trustworthy experience that keeps each pet safe and comfortable.
About: Growing up, we always did pet sitting for our friends when they were away on trips(Schanuzer's and Poodle's specifically). I would walk them three times a day, pick their poop, and feed them food and water. Additionally, when I am at school, I have helped local friends walk their dogs on campus and around the Westwood/Beverley Hills area. I am pretty much free the whole week along with weekends. I do work so availability will vary per week. However, I am always at home overnight everyday, and I also have my parents at home. My home is set up to ensure a safe, secure, and comfortable environment for pets. We separate the upstairs and downstairs areas to prevent access to any potentially dangerous furniture or household products, like bathroom toiletries. Our home is equipped with security cameras, which allows for continuous monitoring to ensure your pet's safety and well-being at all times. We also maintain a clean, clutter-free space to eliminate any tripping hazards or opportunities for injury.
About: Always had dogs & cats as a kid. Always loved it too! I worked with them for years and years and got a good overall feel/sense for various types and breeds, situations etc. I started taking care of neighbors pets, then friends too, and once Covid shut down our family stores, it gave me a chance to continue doing what I love, working with animals! I especially enjoy the challenge of winning over dogs that are timid, uncomfortable, anxious, have been abused, etc. I love proving to them that they're Safe. Everythings alright. Its ok to relax. Some are nervous around me or arent great with adults/males/strangers etc. That's Ok! Please see my reviews, Thanks for your consideration! My day totally revolves around my clients. They come First! Depending on what care I have to give to each animal. I'm around all the time otherwise! I take countless precautions to assure the safety of anyone and everyone that will be involved in my care for my clients. I keep an eye on them all day and night!
About: I am a college student home for breaks! I have 3 dogs and 1 cat at home who I love to hang out with and care for. I have done at home care for senior dogs, walks and run around with younger dogs and puppies, cat sitting, and lots in between. I am home for a few weeks in January and lots of time in the summer, so I would love to help with your animals anytime when I am home, especially if you’re headed on any vacations. I care deeply for your animals and will carefully follow any instructions and specific requests you may have. I want to make sure you and your animals are as comfortable as possible while they are in my care, so I am very flexible.
About: I've taken care of animals as long as I can remember. Whether it's a young, playful puppy or a sleepy senior dog, there's nothing I can't handle. Over the years I've owned three dogs, two cats, a hedgehog, a chinchilla, various reptiles, and more. You could say I'm animal obsessed. I will always give your critter the love and care it needs, so don't hesitate to reach out! I work partially from home, so I'm around to give your furry friend attention. I'm always looking for reasons to take a break outside, so walks will never be a problem! I live on the first floor of an apartment complex where we have a fenced in dog park and ample room for walks! I also enjoy staying at client’s homes, ensuring I keep everything clean, orderly, and safe for your pet.

Walks, playing, feeding etc. I definitely enjoy all that comes with this job I’m currently working at an elementary school & would love another job to have more productive days. I love dogs so this is the perfect job! Making sure my client is comfortable and never without. I have a dog that suffers from separation anxiety and making sure he knows I’m his safe space is very important.
About: I’ve always known I wanted to be around dogs, that I’ve taken care of my families dog across states and stayed as long as wanted willingly, never asked for Pet care is an enjoyment for me as I’m an animal lover and have done a couple pre vet classes in college that i still attend I have two dogs of my own at home and take them out separately.

About: Hi! I just really love dogs. I sadly can’t have my own right now, so being able to care for yours is the next best thing. I am a homebody, love nature walks and being outside, and I live on a quiet street with a large backyard with lots of room for a dog to play and run. I have experience with all sizes, ages, and temperaments of dogs. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, so plenty of time for walks, parks, play, and cuddles. I love having a pet to care for because it gets me out of the house and active :) Your pet will be treated like a king/queen and spoiled with so much attention and love. Depending on your requests and your pet’s activity levels, etc. we’ll do multiple walks a day, and other adventures (if you are comfortable) like parks and hikes.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Ashland
We couldn't have asked for a better first experience as first time dog parents! Nikkita sent tons of adorable photos and kept us completely in the loop with updates on walks, bathroom breaks, playtime, and snuggles. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our pup was in such great hands!
Gianna was super communicative and attentive, she did a great job taking care of our nervous puppy and making sure he had the best experience for his first Rover visit. She was also so thoughtful about small details, like cleaning his Kong toy and bringing in packages, which goes such a long way :) will book again!

This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.

Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.
