About: I've had animals my whole life, and right now I share my home with Chanel, my golden retriever, and Miso, my cat. Living with both means I'm just as comfortable with a high-energy dog who needs long walks as I am with a cat who prefers quiet and routine. I have experience with puppies and kittens (my absolute favorite) and with giving medications, so your pet is in good hands whatever their age or needs. Caring for animals is genuinely therapeutic for me, and I'd love to open my own animal sanctuary someday, so this is much more than a side job. You'll also get great photo and video updates of your pet while you're away!! Animals have always been part of my everyday life, and caring for them is honestly one of my favorite parts of the day. I find it really therapeutic, whether that's a long walk, playtime, or just quiet time together. When I care for your pet, I fit easily into their routine and treat them like my own. Someday I'd love to open my own animal sanctuary, so this work means a lot to me. I offer care in your home only, which means your pet stays somewhere familiar and comfortable. I keep up their normal routine, including meals, walks, playtime, and any medications. I also look after your space while I'm there, keeping it tidy and secure. You'll get photo updates throughout the stay so you always know how they're doing!

About: I have had rescue dogs my whole life, so I have experience dealing with large dogs that have special needs. I also worked in a pet supply store for 2 years, so I have interacted with a wide variety of behaviors and care requirements. My schedule is currently very flexible, so I can make myself available at any time with enough notice, including periods like nights, weekends, and holidays. I will listen to instructions about a pet’s individual needs, and care for them accordingly. I understand the importance of a consistent routine, and will make sure any pets remain as comfortable as possible.

About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 8 years through nannying, with the last 3 years being full-time pet sitting. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities—big or small, young or old. I also have experience with senior and disabled dogs and understand how important it is to be patient, attentive, and consistent with their routines. I always follow care instructions closely and make safety a top priority. I genuinely love being around animals and make sure every pet in my care feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for, just like they would at home. Pet care fits really naturally into my daily routine since I have an open and flexible schedule. I’m available during the day, evenings, and overnight, and I’m able to plan my day around a pet’s needs rather than squeezing them in. Whether that’s walks, playtime, feeding, meds, or just hanging out and keeping them company, I make sure they get the time and attention they deserve. I also have a reliable car, so getting to and from visits is not a problem. I care for pets in their own homes so they can stay comfortable in a space they know. I’m very respectful of both the pet and the home and always follow care instructions exactly as they’re given. I pay close attention to routines, safety, and any special needs, especially with senior or disabled dogs. I make sure pets are supervised, comfortable, and never stressed, and I always aim to keep things calm, clean, and familiar. I treat every pet like my own and want pet parents to feel confident and at ease while they’re away.

About: Hi, I’m Sophia! I’ve been caring for pets for years, building a network of happy clients through neighbors, family friends, and word of mouth. Dogs, cats, puppies, seniors — I’ve done it all, from quick drop-ins to six-month house sits. Whatever your pet needs, I show up with a full heart, active energy and a real routine that keeps them happy and at ease. I pride myself on being someone pet owners can truly trust. During the LA wildfires, I was house sitting near the evacuation zones when I made the call to safely pack up my client’s pets and their most precious belongings and get out, keeping everyone and everything safe until they could come home. That’s the kind of sitter I am: calm, present, and completely committed. I genuinely love this work. Waking up with a dog to walk, taking them out on hikes through the hills, spending the day giving them cuddles and all the attention they deserve, it truly fills my cup. Your pets won’t just be cared for, they’ll be showered with joy and mirth! Based in the Woodland Hills and Topanga area, available for boarding, house sitting, drop-in visits, dog walking, and daycare. Pet care is woven into my daily life naturally and genuinely. I keep an open, flexible schedule which means I’m truly present with the animals in my care — mornings start with walks and feeding routines, days are filled with playtime, cuddles and attention, and evenings wind down with the kind of calm, settled care that helps pets feel secure. I don’t rush off to a nine to five. I’m here, and your pet feels that. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, safety and comfort are everything to me. In my own space, I live with my cat Milo and keep a calm, cozy, pet friendly environment with plenty of room to relax and explore. A partner is often home as well, so your pet always has loving company and is never left alone for long. The Topanga and Woodland Hills area means we’re surrounded by nature with beautiful trails and open space right at our doorstep for walks, hikes and outdoor adventures. In your home I adapt completely to your pet’s existing routine, environment and needs. I learn their habits, respect their space and follow your instructions carefully. I treat every home I work in as if it were my own - with attentiveness, care and a deep sense of responsibility. Your pet, your home and everything you love will be looked after with the same devotion I bring to my own.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Whether it’s providing them with walks or having play time, I’m here to give your pet the attention and care they deserve just like they’re part of my own family. I’m currently attending school, so Tues and Thursday are no longer available. In the Woodland Hills area I’m available at 9 or 10 am on Friday, and Saturday. By Sep 4th I’ll update if I will have availability on that day. In the South Los Angeles areas i’ll have to be informed 1-3 days before. I’m available on weekends, and certain holidays. I’m happy to travel for house sitting or dog walking within these areas. I make sure your pet is safe and comfortable, whether at my place or yours. At my home, there’s plenty of space to play, relax and still follow ur daily routine for your pup. At yours, I follow your pet’s routine and keep things calm and secure.

About: Hey, I’m Anthony! I’ve been around animals since I was born. Grew up on a mini farm and took care of countless of dogs, as well as cats. I actually have a Siamese cat! I’ve always felt so connected with animals my entire life and most (if not all) pets of friends/family love me :) I’ve also watched a lot of pets in my life from time to time, whether it’s for a friend, neighbor, or family member. I work part-time at the moment and I have a lot of time on my hands, aside from work and occasional hobbies. My work schedule is given out a month in advance, so I always know when I’m available in the future and when I’m not. I’m very good with respecting the boundaries of animals and providing the care that they need. Your animal needs a lot of playtime? I got that covered. Your animal needs company but is more on the shy side? Got it, we can just hang out! Let me know what is needed for your pet, how their usual day looks, and I’ll be more than happy to put my all into caring for them

I always make the safety and comfort of each pet my priority. I carefully follow the owner’s instructions and maintain the pet’s usual routine as much as possible. I’m attentive, respectful of my client’s home, and make sure pets receive plenty of care, companionship, and attention while their owners are away.

I’m responsible, patient, and attentive to each pet’s individual personality and needs. I’m happy to provide walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, and plenty of love and attention. I know every pet is different, so I take the time to follow their routine and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you know how your furry friend is doing while you’re away. I work part-time about 30 hours a week, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability during the daytime.

I also respect each pet’s individual personality and boundaries, allowing them to feel comfortable and relaxed while I’m caring for them.

About: Hi there, I'm Jen and animals are my forté. I have had all sorts of pets over the years, ranging in size from a beta fish to a horse. I've had cats since 4 years of age and have had a minimum of 1 dog in my household since the age of 6. Aside from my own animals, I have house and animal sat before, including for 2 greyhounds, many cats, a bunch of Labradors, horses, and more. I know how important pets are to their humans, and I intend to take the best care of your fur babies as possible. I want nothing more than to give them a good time and to enjoy some of their boundless love in return. If you need someone who vibes with all animals and isn't on rover just for the money, I'm your lady. I have a very open schedule so generally flexible as needed. Can do early morning or late nights depending especially on temperature and your animals needs. Typically I bend to the whims of the animals as acceptable (within the parameters of the owners instructions) - it’s their home and they usually know better than I do.

About: Taking care of any type of dog is something that I always look forward to doing, and I have been doing it for friends, family, and more for most of my life. I am mostly focusing on school, but when I am free, spending time with dogs is something that I have always been interested in. I want to do something that I enjoy instead of a boring, behind the counter job. At my house, my whole front yard is gated, and has a grass area that is perfect for any type of dog, no matter the size. I am perfectly fine at following instructions given by the owner that will best benefit the dog while he/she is my responsibility.

Gigi was awesome! Georgia is a very anxious dog and typically does not warm up to new people easily, but Gigi was incredibly calm, patient, and reassuring from the start. It was clear she understood how to make a nervous dog feel comfortable, and Georgia ended up doing great with her. Gigi was also very responsive, reliable, and communicative throughout the stay, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. It's not easy to find someone I trust with Georgia, but I would absolutely book with Gigi again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and caring sitter.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. 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.
