“Brittany was so sweet and wonderful! She took care of our Golden while we were away and was so accommodating to our schedule. She is so great with dogs and we could tell immediately that our dog would be comfortable with her. She took him on long walks, played with him, and made sure he was happy while we were away. Thank you again! Would highly recommend Brittany to anyone in need of a dog sitter!”


“I’m so lucky I found Hannah. She’s the sweetest girl and very professional. She’s always on time and follows instructions perfectly. She sends pictures of my dog to me during her visits, and you can see how happy my dog is when she comes to visit him! I’m so grateful to her! Thanks Hannah! You’re the best!”


“Cassandra was very professional and friendly. Dropped in twice a day for a half hour each, walked, fed, and gave our pup love while we were away on vacation. You can tell Cassandra is an animal lover. We received photos and videos of our pup daily while we were away. Very happy with Cassandra. Will definitely re-book in the future.”


“Laura is so nice, friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. I know my two huskies can be a handful, but I felt so at ease having her stop by to let them go potty and eat dinner while I was out of town on a day trip. I was able to enjoy my time and not have to worry about their safety. She was sure to clarify any questions and followed all their medication needs. I know my dogs enjoyed having someone stop by and give them some loving while I was gone too. She also sent me the cutest pictures of my babies! So grateful for Laura!”


“Melissa did an outstanding job watching over my babbies while I was away for the weekend. Followed feeding instructions to a T and made sure their water bowl was always full. She kept me updated on all her visits. If y’all need someone to care for your cats while you’re away, I highly recommend Melissa!”


About: Hi! I’m a devoted pet parent and passionate animal lover who treats every pet like family. For the past 4+ years, I’ve shared my life with my own fur baby, and she’s truly become my best friend. Spending my days caring, playing, and bonding with her has taught me how to build trust, show love, and pay attention to the little things that matter most to animals. What sets me apart is the level of care I bring by being thoughtful, detail-oriented, and heartwarming. I’ve learned to read pets' emotions, recognize when something isn’t quite right, and respond quickly. After navigating health issues with my own pup, I know how to stay calm, be prepared, and act fast when needed, always putting their safety and comfort first. I'm also very mindful of my surroundings during walks or social encounters. I’ve developed a strong sense of how to read the body language of unfamiliar dogs and can quickly spot when another dog may be feeling anxious or reactive. This helps me avoid risky situations and ensures that the dogs in my care are always safe and well-protected. Whether your pet needs a cuddle buddy, a playful companion, or someone to keep a watchful, loving eye while you’re away, I’m here to give them the same love and care I give my own. I'm currently available full time to care for your pets! I recently moved to the U.S. with my husband and our fur baby due to his job. I am going to school to learn english as english is my second language so I hope that Rover also gives me the oportunity to meet many animal lover parents and helps me get more involved with the community. On the side I love working out and when I am not with my family or at school I am typically running and excercising, as that is a big part of my life. I’m here to provide the specific care your pet needs whether it’s a visit, a walk, respecting their space, offering a safe crate or area to relax, or keeping track of feeding times. I pay close attention to every detail to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable. I know how important peace of mind is when you’re away from your furry family member, so I’m happy to send as many photos and videos as you’d like. I truly love making pet parents feel calm and confident that their baby is in great hands.

“My cat, Elgin, LOVES Shawn. And Shawn takes such good care of him (and me) when I'm not home. I appreciate Shawn's pictures and Elgin appreciates the scratches (and the food). And I appreciate the vetting through Rover. I am 100% satisfied!”


About: At 6 feet tall, I’ve got the strength to handle even the rowdiest pups, but my real superpower is connection + gentleness. I’ve been loving and living with dogs and cats since I was a kid, and I treat every pet like family. Whether it’s an energizing walk or a calm cuddle session, your fur baby is in safe, loving hands. I’m currently working part-time, which means I’m typically available during mornings and afternoons — perfect for regular walks, playtime, or just keeping your pet company while you’re away. I genuinely love walks, animals, sunshine, and being out in nature, and I bring that positive, grounded energy into every visit. I care for every pet like I do my own three sweet kitties — with love, attention, and a focus on their comfort and safety. In each client’s home, I create a calm, clean, and caring environment where pets feel secure and happy.

About: I love dogs and know how important they are to their family. I've been around dogs throughout my whole life and have watched all kinds of dogs varying in size and age, and will take care of your dog with the love and attention they deserve. I have a flexible work-from-home situation and work on-call in the evenings so I tend to have a lot of time in the weekdays. I can usually accommodate last-minute care if my availability is free. I have an 11-year-old dog (mixed-breed, medium size) who can accompany your dog if you'd like them to get interaction. Comfortable walking up to 3 dogs at a time, can feed, play fetch, and crate your dog if required to help them exercise and stay on track with their usual schedule.


About: Pets are family and animals are my life! I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in pet care is from having my own pets as well as caring for family and friends pets. I'm currently employed by Trots Dogs Walking, which has added to my knowledge and experience. I provide safe, nurturing care for all animals. I’m friendly and trustworthy putting pets and their families at ease with reliable, loving care. I'm currently working part time as a dog walker for Trots Dogs, so I have plenty of down time throughout the week to pet sit and love your furries. I follow the specific instructions and guidelines, ensuring all pets are safe, well-fed, exercised, loved, and comfortable. I make sure each and every family pet member is taken care of just like you would.

About: I missed having dogs at home. Unfortunately I lost both of them last year. I had them for 16yrs. I have experience with senior dogs. I know how to put injections such as Insuline shots and give them medicine. I live in Long Beach, very close to LBG, very convenient airport. I like to keep the dogs at the house and just have a daily routine as they do at own home. I tried not to take them to places unless is required. I'm currently working part time and working from home. I'm available most week days and weekends. I'd rather take reservations from Thursday thru Sunday and some holidays too. Only one family at the time, no more than 3 pets. I just moved to Long Beach. Bixby Knolls area. Very close to Long Beach Airport. Very convenient and easy airport to flight from. Safe environment, a lot of places to go for a walk and 3 story townhouse, hard wood floors with small balcony, small patio and garage. Enough space to spoiled your dog. Gates to keep the dogs away from the stairs as well.

About: I have had two pet dogs one that I cared for while it was elderly and needed special attention and one who has many health issues and requires medication twice a day so I have had lots of experience caring for different dogs, as well as ones with lots of energy and need to be walked and played with throughout the day. I’m currently between jobs so I have lots of time to spend with our furry friends! Tons of time for play time and cuddle time! I will carefully follow instructions for care and ensure your pet is fed and cared for in the ways they need to be as well as stay attentive as a playmate and make sure they are well exercised and happy when I’m done

About: I have been taking care of and loving pets for about 5 years. Through either having my own pet or taking care of family, friends, and neighbors pets. I have handled almost every type of animal (Dogs, Cats, Bunnies, Birds, Fish, Turtles, etc). I have done very aggressive cats along with sweet loving cats and for dogs, I have handled big dogs (150lbs), small dogs (8-12lbs), and everything in between. I have not taken care of any senior dogs or cats yet, nor have I done much medication (other than pills) but I am very open and eager to learn. I am currently an 18 year old (almost 19) who is a full time student in college but since it's summer I am off. I also do have a "real job" (part time) as-well but I will definitely work with you and around my schedule for your animals to make sure they are well taken care of. I joined Rover because I love caring for animals and I would also like the opportunity to make new friends along with making a little extra money to help pay for my college tuition. I am willing to work around your animals needs and change my schedule so that your pets get the love and attention they deserve. I am a very good listener and I will take care of your pet exactly how you tell me to. I will make sure they are well fed and loved while they are in my control. I will make sure they get any medicine they need, cleaned up after, walked, fed, watered, and whatever else is needed. I will keep in contact with you while you are gone sending you photo updates of your pet as-well so that way you know your pet is happy and healthy. 😊

About: My name is Autumn. I am a dog and cat owner owner myself and a grad student. I’m that girl who wants to meet every dog she sees! Whether your pup needs a good cuddle or a 5 mile run, I’m there. You can always expect her or him to have a full belly, smile on their face, and all the energy fully used as they lay on the couch. Then I’ll proceed to take a quick photo shoot to let you know how your star is doing. In all seriousness though, I do hold their health at the highest priority and treat them just as I would my own pup! Because let’s be honest and say that they aren’t just dogs. They are our babies and they deserve the best! I’m currently working part time and attending school. I’m up early most days and have opening through the day to stop in and provide care. When in a clients home I try to treat the pet and the space as if it is my own. I stick to common areas or areas needed for the care of the pet. I do my best to leave it cleaner than when I arrived and I always ensure the space is safe before leaving.

“Bridget was great with communication and was very accommodating on such short notice. She sent daily photos and updates for both my kitties. She was nice enough to vacuum the litter spillage from their litter boxes also. I would highly recommend and I’ll be sure to rebook for my next vacation knowing Xeno and Misty are in good hands.”


“Highly recommend Emma Jean and Bryce! They are so caring with our fur babies. We are so glad we found them and being so close to us makes it very convenient. Max and Zoe were happy to have them drop by, feed them and visit with them while we were out for the day.”

She has also pet sat for me, my 2 dogs and my cat. She has a great love for pets and will treat your pets as her own! Thank you, Blanca Pulido”


Courtney Y.

“Courtney was great, punctual and took amazing care of my pups!”


Michael T.
“Mike has been watching my dog for over 2 years. I think he loves animals more than people. The worst thing you can say about Mike is that he likes the San Francisco Giants. From the moment my dog, Jerry, met Mike, he loved him immediately. Jerry was a pound pit who was found in a cardboard box. He has been sceptical with most people (not aggressive), but has always found Mike to be a person of safety. His soft and nice demeanor makes people, and animals, feel at ease. When Mike watches Jerry, I do not ever question the well-being of my dog. I only question that my dog will be less enthusiastic that he has to return to his actual owner. Mike is a five star person.”




Melina A.
“Melina is a true dog whisperer! My dogs adore her, I think they like her more than me! She sends updates and pictures regularly so I know how well taken care of they are in her hands You will be lucky to have Melina as a walker or sitter!”


Jeimy V.
“Jeimy Valega is a true dog lover and would be 100% devoted to your dog or puppy during it's stay with her. She is totally responsible and will give your pet all the attention in the world. I cannot think of a better and safer place for your beloved pet than with Jeimy for a few days.”
