About: I used to volunteer at animal shelters throughout high school and pet sit for family friends. I am currently an animal science major so I know a lot about pets and how to care for them. I make it my mission to treat every animal I see like my own and show nothing but love and comfort. I am currently a student in college as well as an after school leader at an elementary school. I only go to school 2 days a week but those days i have closed off for certain services. Mondays I am only out of my home from 2-4 and Wednesdays from 2:30-6. Other than those days and time I am completely available for your fur baby. I do offer dog walking and drop ins everyday, but only around certain times. I will have plenty of time to play around with your pets and make sure they are well taken care of. I tend to go on walks daily so dog walking fits perfectly. I have a fenced yard and a big backyard for the times I care for pets at my home. I have 2 small dogs, 1 keeps to herself and is very calm, the other is very playful and likes to run around with other dogs. However it is very easy to separate my fur babies from yours if you aren’t comfortable with other dogs. I have 2 sides to my house and can keep them on opposite sides. I am close to several dog parks as well and in case of emergency close to a veterinary clinic. I am very careful with instructions if there is any special needs your pets have. I always make sure the pets I look after are happy and well taken care of.

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has always been a big part of my life. I’ve raised 5 dogs of my own—Money, Little Bro, Sugar, Latte, and my beloved senior pup Bear Bear, who was with us until the age of 18. I’ve also cared for friends’ dogs, including overnight stays in my home. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I treat every pup in my care with the same patience, love, and attention I give my own. I also love capturing sweet, candid moments and sharing photos with pet parents so they can see how their pups are doing while they’re away. I recently stepped away from my full-time career and am enjoying having more flexibility in my schedule. This gives me plenty of time to give your pup the attention, companionship, walks, and care they need. I’m generally available throughout the week and can work with your dog’s routine and schedule. Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I’m attentive to doors, gates, leashes, and each dog’s individual routine and needs. I follow pet parents’ instructions carefully and treat their home with the same respect I would my own. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos, so you can feel connected and know your pup is happy and well cared for while you’re away.

“I booked Beverly for consecutive walks with my dog while I’m away at work and I am so glad I did! It was very apparent that Beverly was very knowledgeable with working with dogs. Beverly communicates really well before, during, and even after the walks! It really gave me peace of mind to know that my dog was in amazing hands! Would without a doubt re-book with Beverly again!”

About: I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and overnight house sitting, with care tailored to each pet’s routine and needs. I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs and have always loved caring for them. My family has had many rescue pups over the years, giving me experience with different breeds, sizes, personalities, and energy levels—from Shih Tzus to German Shepherds and Rottweilers. I’ve also become the go-to person for family, friends, and neighbors when they need someone they trust to care for their dogs. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and following each dog’s routine while their owners are away. I truly enjoy getting to know each dog and creating a positive experience that makes them feel cared for. I work part-time remotely from home in the mornings, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I’m able to provide walks, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day, making pet care a natural part of my routine. My availability allows me to be present and dependable while your pet is in my care. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home, I’ll provide a calm and caring environment while following your instructions, routines, and any special needs. Pets will never be left unattended and will always have access to fresh water. I’ll also share regular updates and photos so you can stay connected and feel confident knowing your furry family member is being cared for while you’re away.

About: I’ver cared for animals for years and genuinely enjoy earning their trust. I’ve owned and cared for cats, hamsters, guinea pigs, and rabbits. I have dog sat for a month. This fits to my schedule because I have any other day Monday and Wednesday due to classes, but even so I can work after class too! I’ve always treated my cat like family, and I know how important it is to trust someone with a pet you love so deeply. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely enjoy making cats feel safe, comfortable, and cared for.

About: Hello, I’m Krystal 👋🏼 I am so excited to meet your furry family members! Dogs have been a massive part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up surrounded by them, and because my entire family still has dogs, I am constantly around them. Having previously owned a Doberman, I am entirely comfortable, confident, and experienced with large breeds and strong dogs, I love small dogs, too. From high-energy pups who need tons of exercise to sweet, gentle giants and tiny lapdogs, I am ready to handle dogs of all shapes, sizes, and energy levels. I promise to treat your beloved pet with the exact same love, patience, and care that I give to my own family’s dogs. I can't wait to give your pup a fun, safe, and happy experience. I work from home full-time, which gives me a highly flexible schedule. Because I am remote, your pet will have constant company, frequent potty breaks, and plenty of attention throughout the day. Safety is my top priority. Growing up around dogs of all sizes and energies—including my own Doberman—means I know how to read dog body language and maintain a secure environment. My apartment has a patio in the back, your pet can catch some sun there if needed, too.

About: I just love spending time with cats and dogs. I am an active volunteer at a animal shelter. I participated in programs like dog socialization, public training classes and clicker training. I am also a team member of the cat adoption program which tasks include husbandry, socialization, adoption counseling and so on. And I do all of this for fun. Enjoying it 100%. Looking forward to have the chance to meet your furry friends!! Bilingual: English, 普通话 I have a flexible working schedule which can easily accommodate your need. I am available for dog walking and drop-in visit up to 3 times a day as long as I get a request in advance. Safety is the first priority for both of us. I always ask the parents for what is allowed and what is not. For dogs, I give them all my attention during walks (consistently of poop/pee, trash eating, etc.,). And after walks, I always wipe their paws and check for any signs of abnormalities. For cat drop-in visits, I perform husbandry including litter box cleaning and refilling, feeding and socializing if needed. Customization is welcomed. Communication is very important and trust can be built. Let’s make this a great experience.

About: Hi! I’m Valerie, formally an Anaheim pet sitter to now your local pet sitter here in La Puente 🐾. With over 11 years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, from playful puppies and kittens to senior pets with special needs, I know how to make every fur baby feel safe, loved, and at home. 🥰 Whether it’s daily walks, feeding, play dates, or overnight stays, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m comfortable giving medications, handling senior pets, and caring for animals with special needs. Plus, we keep a house full of toys, treats, and even a water filtered fountain that our pets love, so visiting fur babies feel just as spoiled! I work from home with a flexible schedule, which means I’m always around to give plenty of playtime, and attention. Most importantly lots of love and cuddles! I live with my fiancé (also another fellow animal lover), along with our two dogs and one cat, so your pets will always have company and never feel alone. I can cater to what your pet wants and needs when you bring them over to my place. We will keep a look out for your pets in our house as they are ours.

“Justin was awesome and a perfect first impression for using Rover for my first time. Always on time and sent lots of updates and pictures and was so thoughtful and caring for my big Australian Shepherd!! He even gave him extra exercise by jogging with him from time to time! Marley is a bit reactive and doesn’t always like strangers but he loved Justin right away, he must have sensed his dog loving good vibes. 100% recommend him to anyone, especially those with bigger dogs worried about finding someone that can control their dog. 10 stars / 5 thanks a million Justin!!!”

About: Ever since I was a kid, I have had the honor to live and care for dogs and cats! My family has cared for rabbits, chickens, turtles, and of course dogs that just became part of the family. Since I was seventeen, I became fully responsible of caring for my lovely Malchi. Then as an adult, I adopted a senior and teen cat, who are my favorite creatures in the world. Animals are everything to me, the reason I also became vegan 10 years ago. Currently working 2 part times buy would love to dedicate more time to pet sitting. I am available on holidays and most Saturdays! My days consist of playing with my cats, cleaning their areas, cuddling them. I live in a house that has sweet animals to keep me and others company but I can take care of your fur babies in my upstairs loft or room, which also has a gate by the stairs in the case that your fur babies are timid or prefer their own space.

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. I grew up with both cats and dogs as a child, which gave me an early appreciation for the companionship, care, and attention pets need. I currently have three cats, ranging from 2 to 6 years old, and I adopted each of them when they were young kittens at around 2-3 months old. Caring for them from kittenhood into adulthood has given me hands-on experience with feeding routines, litter box care, grooming, playtime, and caring for multiple pets at once. I’m also comfortable caring for shy or nervous pets and understand that every pet has their own personality and comfort level. I’m patient and willing to give them the time and space they need to feel safe. I can follow detailed care instructions closely and have experience giving oral medication when needed. I love spending quality time with animals, whether that means playing with them, going on a walk, giving them treats, keeping them company, or simply sitting nearby so they feel comfortable. I treat pets like family and will always do my best to make them feel safe, happy, and loved while they’re in my care. I work remotely and have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to easily fit pet care into my daily routine. I’m often able to accommodate short-notice requests and can also plan ahead for longer visits or pet-sitting needs. Because my schedule is flexible, I can be available throughout the day for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, or simply keeping your pet company. I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual routine and do my best to keep their schedule consistent while you’re away. I’m happy to come to your pet’s familiar environment, where they can stay comfortable and maintain their normal routine. I can help with feeding, fresh water, litter box care, walks, playtime, treats, basic grooming, medication as instructed, and plenty of companionship and attention. I’ll also follow any specific care instructions you provide and do my best to keep your pet’s schedule as consistent as possible. I understand that some pets may be shy or need time to warm up to someone new, so I’m patient and happy to let them approach at their own pace.

About: Hello, I currently work at a doggy daycare named St. Tropawz. It can become quite busy, meaning I'm familiar with caring for up to 15 dogs at any given time. I'm particularly fond of Dobermans and high energy breeds like Huskies. I understand how to work with a dogs temperament to keep everyone safe during sudden unforeseen events. I work part time at a doggy daycare located in Rosemead California named St. Tropawz. Outside of that I'm a student, currently learning Linux and cybersecurity after having been in the cannabis industry for 7 years. I'm familiar with how to approach pets that are unfamiliar with me but would greatly appreciate meeting your pet alongside you to help establish trust. I currently have a senior Husky named whiskie who is ten and a half years of whom I take for daily walks while riding my longboard. That way he gets to stretch his legs and go for a nice run or jaunt jog. While working at the doggy daycare, I will at times look after dogs who are a bit skittish. I understand the importance in giving a dog space and allowing them the time and patience needed to warm up to new individuals. I also was taught by my parents to respect another persons home. I like to think the way we interact with the world around us is a reflection of how we were raised and a mirror to our inner world. With that in mind I will pay careful mind to your space, your instructions and your pets!

About: I have been around and cared for dogs for many years and currently have two dogs of my own. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs. I am comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, potty breaks, basic care, and giving lots of attention and affection. I will always follow the owner’s instructions and treat every pet as if they were my own. I currently work full-time, but I have plenty of time to provide attentive and reliable pet care. I am available in the early mornings, evenings, and on weekends. I enjoy spending my free time caring for pets and can make sure they receive plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and care while they are with me. I am available in Pasadena, Monrovia, Duarte, Azusa, Covina, West Covina, San Dimas, and La Verne. Availability depends on the city needed. I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment for every pet in my care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I will respect their home and follow their pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, medications, and any special instructions provided. I will make sure pets receive plenty of attention and supervision and will keep owners updated so they can feel comfortable knowing their pet is safe and well cared for.

Entrusting your dogs to the right person makes all the difference, and she is someone you can count on completely. She is kind, dependable, and has a genuine passion for caring for animals. Whether it’s routine walks, outdoor adventures, or plenty of playtime, she always makes sure the dogs are well exercised, entertained, and happy. One of her greatest qualities is the way she connects with dogs so naturally. She has a calm and reassuring presence that helps dogs feel comfortable right away. It’s clear that she truly enjoys being around animals and takes pride in making sure they feel secure, cared for, and loved. She is also incredibly professional and easy to work with. She communicates well, shows up when expected, and consistently brings a positive attitude. My dog is always excited to see her, and I feel completely confident knowing they are receiving excellent care and attention.

Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
