“Raevyn was amazing with our senior dog while we went on 10 day vacation. She was timely and respectful, and always provided updates. Apple is not very friendly with strangers right away but with her she was immediately calm. Apple had a good time and we had a worry free vacation. We will definitely use her as our sitter in the future.”

“Laura was a pleasure to have as a sitter! I needed a sitter quick to watch my doggy as I had to leave out of state for family matters and she answered! She was friendly, approachable, a pleasant to work with. Her communication is excellent! I’ll definitely be booking with Laura in the future!”

“Cloe saved my trip when my original sitter plans backed out days before. She’s super quick to respond and I felt really confident in her care for Odin in my home while I was away. My mind was at ease.”

“This was the 1st time Jona watched our 2 large dogs. He followed the instruction given to him to the T, and asked smart questions if he wasn't sure. He is 100% trustworthy and integer. A rare find. I would definitely book him again.”

About: I’m a dog lover with years of hands-on experience caring for pets for family and friends through house sitting, walks, drop-in visits, and feeding schedules. I previously owned a beautiful Belgian Shepherd named Izzy, who was my adventure buddy for many years. After recently losing her, I’ve found a lot of joy in spending time with and caring for other people’s furry companions. I currently work a hybrid schedule, which gives me flexibility during the day to stop by for potty breaks, walks, playtime, or just some extra company and attention while you’re away. Whether your pet needs a long walk, overnight care, or someone to check in and make sure they’re comfortable, I’m happy to help. As a former dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to know your pet is in good hands. My goal is to help give you peace of mind while also giving your pets the love, care, and attention they deserve. I’m excited to meet you and your furry family members while earning a little extra income doing something I genuinely enjoy. I'm available to stay overnight at your home Fridays - Tuesday evenings. I have a hybrid work schedule so I am available to drop in during the workday to provide any walks or potty breaks that are needed. I'm unavailable to pet sit, walk, or do drop-ins on Wednesdays and Thursdays. I can spend the night at your home to help ensure your furry companion doesn't experience separation anxiety. I've spent time walking dogs of all sizes, and I make sure to learn any triggers your animals may have before taking them on walks. I'll send photos of your animals while you're away to help you feel at peace and enjoy your vacation or work trip!

“Cannot say enough good things about Vasil. He was incredibly communicative, he was kind in his correspondence, and sent ample pictures of our dog. Came through an emergency situation and went above and beyond. I would highly recommend and will be using in the near future.”

About: I've been a cat lady my entire life. Until finding a litter of month old puppies in a Weinerschnitzel parking lot late one stormy night almost 3 years ago. I've long been involved in cat rescue, and thought "I can foster puppies." I failed catastrophically at that. 😂🐈⬛🐕🐕🐛🦋💗 ChiliDog and SmallFry are the joy of my life. Sisters and best friends, they're a pair of wild rambunctious Siberian Huskies, each with their own unique personalities, and lots of energy to burn. We go to the dog park almost every single day to run a few miles, with an entire pack of their closest friends of course. I've been a pet sitter for over 8 years now. I worked for Prefurred Pet Care from November of 2017 - until the business closed in the summer of 2025. I've worked for Bark City Sitting since July of 2024 - present. I have lots of experience with many different breeds and personalities. I know how intelligent dogs are and treat them with the respect they deserve. I also have experience with medicating dogs. I look forward to meeting your furbabies and getting to know the charming quirks that make them special. I have 35 years of cat care experience. I'm a bit of a cat whisperer. I'm skilled at befriending the shy timid kitties. I also have experience with some exotic pet care, like raising Monarch butterflies and Praying Mantises. Thank you for considering me to help meet your pets needs. I'm looking forward to making new furry friends. I've been a full time petsitter for 8 years now. I'm looking to grow my clientele again, after the company I was working for closed. I'm also an artist. So my schedule is mostly free and flexible, other than the occasional art shows. I'm available for walks or drop in visits most days from 10am to 10pm. I understand that trusting a stranger in your home is a scary decision. I struggled with that myself the first time I ever hired a pet sitter for my kids. Please know that I will treat your home, and your furbabies with the utmost respect. I do like to arrange a meet & greet with any dogs before our scheduled visit, for both mine and your safety. Everyone should feel comfortable with the dynamic before we proceed.
About: With years of experience caring for my own dog, family dogs, and more recently a foster pup, I bring a calm, attentive, and compassionate approach to every pet in my care. I currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability to work around your pet’s needs. I’m able to accommodate regular walks, drop-ins, and extended care, and I’m happy to coordinate timing that works best for you and your pet. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I carefully follow care instructions, keep pets in secure environments, and stick to familiar routines. I move slowly with new pets to build trust and ensure they feel comfortable, calm, and supported in my care—at home or in a client’s space.
About: currently working in an animal emergency hospital for 4 years! i’ve worked with dogs 3x my weight, and cats who climb the walls. there is nothing new to me in the animal field working 5 days a week at an animal emergency hospital, most are early shifts so i have a big bulk of my day free to pet sit! mentally i’m never really clocked out the key is to have your energy feel as if your at ease with the pet no matter the environment. they can definitely sense your energy! i’m high energy myself and can be the best for really active pets, whether it’s going out for runs or playing fetch, or providing mentally stimulating treat games with them!
“Liza was great with our dogs and home! We came back home to happy, well kept doggies after 10 days of being out of town. One of our dogs is on medication for arthritis and it was clear that he got his medication daily. Our home was neat and clean and Liza was reliable and communicative. She kindly offered to water my planters even though it wasn’t something we asked for upfront. I would definitely book Liza again and recommend her!”

About: If you’re looking for an attentive, experienced and loving caregiver for your furbabies, you’ve found your girl! And being a freelance photographer, I love sending clients cute pics while they’re away. I’ve not only been the friend that takes care of everyone’s pets while they’re away, but I was also a dog walker on the east coast for many years in college. I have had my kitty Kunka since 2017 and have since adopted a stray in the community that needed some love. I grew up in a very pet-loving home. We always had cats & dogs, and on some occasions, a fish tank or cage of gerbils. My mother built an outdoor turtle habitat, and would often rescue animals in the community that needed aid. When I’m not pet sitting, I am a photographer and Social Media Coordinator for local businesses. I spend my free time staying active, under trees, riding mopeds with friends, writing and playing music. Cant wait to meet your fur-family! I am a freelance photographer, so my schedule varies each week. I typically have a couple shoots on the weekends, and maybe a few during golden hour each week, but most shoots only last 1-3 hours, so I am able to balance both gigs. I also work part time in Carson at a textile firm. When caring for your fur babies, I make sure that their safety, well-being and happiness are priority. I will always read your notes and follow instructions carefully and am very self-aware! With having lengthy experience as a pet and house sitter, as well as having prior experience as a professional eco-friendly house cleaner, I am incredibly respectful and mindful when entering any client's home, and make sure not to have distractions when caring for your bb.
“We had Jordan stay at our house for two nights to watch our pups who can be difficult when they are outside of their comfort zone. Taking our pups to someone else's house or a kennel simply was not an option. Jordan came by for a meet and greet in advance of our trip and we were confident that everything would go well right away. Our pups, however, were the variable as we didn't know how they would react to being alone with a new person for a long period of time. Jordan kept us updated throughout the entire trip including photos which helped us to worry less and enjoy our trip more. When we got home everything was as clean or cleaner than we left it. And we found out that our normally socially anxious pups slept with Jordan both nights which is a huge testament to her care. We highly recommend Jordan and will be requesting her help again in the near future!!! Thank you Jordan for a great job!”

“Micah did an amazing job hanging out with our dog over the weekend, sending a lot of great photos and updates. He was extremely easy to communicate with, very tidy, and reliable. Thank you so much!”

“Lupe was a pleasure! She took great care of our cat Olive and our house. Lupe sent us tons of photos and communicated clearly and quickly. We will definitely be booking with Lupe again!”


“Shauna was great! We booked her to house sit for 9 days. Visited twice before our booking to make sure her and our rescue dog were a good match. Sent us photo updates with how our dog was doing, and even went above and beyond by cleaning the sheets and towels so we got home to an already clean bed after a long day of travel. Definitely recommend”

Californial Heights pet parents share their Rover experiences
I’m so happy I found Lupe on Rover! She is an excellent housesitter and she cared for Frank so well. I have nothing but praise for her. She is very clear communicator, provided plenty of updates and even checked in on my raised bed cucumber plants. She followed all instructions to the t! When I need someone to care for Frank again, I am hoping that Lupe will be available. In the sea of sitters on Rover, Lupe is such a gem!

Charlie and I are so lucky and glad we found Bridget. She is knowledgeable and pleasant with Charlie. She kept me updated with videos and pictures. I could finally relax on a vacation without worrying ! The house was kept perfect. I absolutely plan on using Bridget again !
Seth is absolutely amazing! I always trust my pup, Bradley is going to be well cared for when I book with Seth. On top of that he is so communicative and leaves your place very tidy and clean! I highly recommend him for any of your pet sitting/walking/drop in needs if you are in Long Beach/Belmont Shore. Thank you Seth!!!

I am truly thankful to Sophia for sitting BlueLu. My girl can be a lot, but Sophia made me feel comfortable that she could handle her. Sophia was extremely flexible when I had to adjust my scheduled needs, and very communicative before the job as well as during. Hopefully she will be available for us in the future. I highly recommend booking Sophia to care for your pet needs!

Mahima was fantastic! If I could leave more than five stars I would. She is detail oriented, and followed all my instructions perfectly. I was worried about my reactive boy. But she handled him beautifully, and is very confident in her approach. She sent many videos of daily activities, ensuring my furry friend was well taken care of. If she was unclear, she didn't hesitate to ask. She left my house immaculate. Mahima is extremely kind and respectful, and a lovely human being. I highly recommend her. Sparky and I both say THANK YOU Mahima!

Simply can't recommend Alex enough! She has been an absolute lifesaver for my boyfriend and me, helping with backup care for our dog, Mischa, who just went through TPLO surgery. From the very beginning, Alex has been incredibly attentive, kind, and reliable. Mischa (and our other animals too) warmed up to her instantly, which immediately put us at ease. Alex has gone above and beyond to make sure our pup is comfortable, safe, and happy—whether it’s administering medications, helping with mobility, or just providing extra love and cuddles during recovery. Her communication is excellent with regular check ins throughout the day, which has been a huge comfort during this stressful time. We feel so lucky to have found someone we can truly trust with our fur babies. If you’re looking for a compassionate, responsible, and loving caregiver for your dog, Alex is absolutely the one!

Diane is awesome!! She communicates very well and responded to all messages and text mails quickly. She was very punctual and She sent pictures and updates about Frito every day. I returned home to a clean home and a very happy Frito. I would definitely hire Diane to dog sit again in the future.

Christina stepped in on short notice when my usual dog sitter wasn’t available. She did amazing, took care of my pups at my place for a few days, kept me updated throughout and followed instructions. I’ve found someone that I will definitely trust again in the future. Thank you Christina :)
