“Josette is a dog whisperer! We have two very active young cocker spaniels. If you know the breed you know how excitable they are. These two are particularly so, as they are also rescues from Mongolia via the wonderful LA-based Camp Cocker Rescue. They are always so happy to see Josette, which includes lots of jumping, and Josette calms them right down. We feel so comfortable leaving our pups with Josette. She is so on top of the all the details of the dogs. We know they are so well taken care of, very safe and very loved. When we return from out of town the dogs are always happy, and the house is immaculate. Couldn’t be happier with her caregiving! Also love her responsiveness when we reach out to her! XOXO”
“Azucena is the dachshund whisperer.”
“Vivian was amazing with our 2 big dogs. She did a drop in visit the week before coming to watch our girls for 4 days. While on our trip we got lots of photos and updates and after the first text we knew the girls were having fun. When we got home, I noticed how silky their coats were from all the brushings they got while Vivian was here. They were happy to see us, but they still go to check out the room where Vivian was sleeping to see if maybe she’s still here. It’s unanimous that we will be using her to sit again.”
“Abigail was GREAT! She took great care of my crazy Belgian Malinois for couple days and gave me great updates on their activities! Highly recommend her, she stayed and took care of my house as well :) Would definitely book again for my next trip!”
“Amazing sitter!! We have a bit of a challenging dog, but Yajahyra was incredibly understanding. We were given lots of great updates and are so thankful!! ♥️”
“Matt was amazing with our challenging pups. He win over cranky old Ellie and kept up with our crazy high- energy puppy. It made our trip so much more relaxing knowing they were in great hands with Matt”
About: Growing up on a farm, I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of all sizes and temperaments since I was a kid. With over 2 decades of hands-on experience, I’ve cared for senior pets, puppies/kittens, pregnant animals (even helping deliver the babies!), and everything in between. Friends, family, and neighbors have always relied on me to walk, feed, bathe, and love on their pets like they’re my own. I also have experience with administering medications (I am a medical student), leash training, and providing lots of mental stimulation and affection. Your fur baby is in safe, loving hands with me! I currently work part-time, so I have plenty of flexibility during the week and weekends to care for your pet. I’m available for house sitting, walks, and check-ins as needed. I’ll make sure your pet gets the attention, exercise, and love they deserve, no rushed visits here! I have two gentle, senior, well-socialized dogs at home, but I do not presently offer boarding. I care for your pets in the comfort of their own environment, following your routine closely to reduce stress. I prioritize calm, respectful interactions and can crate your dog if needed. I’m here to ensure your pets feel safe, secure, and loved while you’re away.
“Roshanda was wonderful with our dog Finch. He can be a BIG energy, stubborn little hound and she handled him perfectly. We were sent updates and photos each day so I felt comforted knowing he was safe. Thank you!”
“This is the 4th time that Megan has housesat for me and she is very communicative regarding the events with my Golden. She leaves my house in excellent condition and takes great care of my dog. I have utmost faith in Megan which is why I continue to use her. Thank you Megan!”

Pet care is a top priority in my day-to-day life. I’m flexible and adapt easily to each pet’s schedule — whether that means early mornings, late evenings, or weekends. I follow each pet’s routine closely — meals, walks, play, medication, and quiet time — whether at my place or yours. I keep the environment calm, clean, and familiar, and I always give updates so you know your pet’s doing great. Respecting your space and your pet’s comfort is my top priority.

About: I've grown up with animals my entire life and have house and dog sat for many years.

I also love going for walks everyday so I see taking them with me as a bonus! I have taken care many animals over the past few years and love existing in their space with them. The comfort they feel of being in their own space even though they're family may not be there at the time gives me the chance to make them comfortable and have a great time with them while you're away!
“Yulia was so great with our little pup! She was so responsive and always giving us updates, which was so thoughtful and comforting. I absolutely would recommend her and rebook her!”
“Katie was great! She was communicative, super accommodating, and our pup loved her too! She was able to provide full care/attention to a 10 week old puppy with endless energy. We are so grateful for her help.”

Your pets' happiness and well-being are my mission. Contact me today to ensure your pets are in trusted hands! I am currently working part time as a hostess in the evenings.

About: My family and I will spoil your dog! We are a loving household in a quiet neighborhood with a fully fenced in large backyard that has lots of great places dogs love to explore. We have two animal-loving kids, I believe that the more time your dog spends being mentally and physically stimulated, the more tired and happy he will be when he comes home safely to you. You can be confident that your dog will not acquire any bad habits while staying with us. I’ve had dogs all my life and our first family dog, Kiarra, was a beautiful Golden Retriever. I have spent a lot of time volunteering at both the German Shepard Rescue and at the shelter and currently spend a lot of time at the Rancho Coastal Humane Society. I’ve fostered many dogs over the years and ended up adopting a German Shepard/Australian Shepard mix named Sophie. Sophie currently lives with my daughter in college in Florida and is only here during the summer. Schedule a Board & Train during an overnight stay. I will prepare a 30-minute private session customized to your pup's needs! For even more reliable training results, reserve multiple sessions to build an even more reliable behavior. I am a certified dog trainer and graduated from Victoria Stilwell Academy. I also have a Certificate of Dog Foundations from the Karen Pryor Academy. I’ve taken many seminars on dog aggression, Go Click with Ken Ramirez, and Puppy Start Right Kindergarten from the Karen Pryor Academy. I’m currently getting my certification from the Association of Professional Dog Trainers. I also teach puppy kindergarten and manners classes. I love to go on hikes and take walks on the beach, so your dog will get lots of exercises. I truly love playing with dogs, challenging them, playing fetch and keeping them engaged during the day. I understand that your dog is part of your family and I will treat your dog like he or she is part of ours. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask. And if you would like to add some dog training, I can do that too.
“Brooke is truly amazing! She is so easy to communicate with, trust worthy, and really goes above and beyond for the dogs she cares for. One of my dogs isn’t the friendliest with new people, and Brooke was so patient and loving. By the third day my shy dog was sitting in her lap, happy as can be. My dog also stopped eating while I was away and Brooke did everything from cooking her special food to rubbing honey on her gums and it did the trick. She gave me daily updates and sent the cutest pics. I loved that she took my two pups on all sorts of fun adventures. They had a blast with her! Brooke will be my first call anytime I’m headed out of town and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for wonderful house sitter.”

Look no further, you have found a gem in the dog universe.”

Our 200 lb English Mastiff loves Selina! She was so tender and loving with our big brut! Take advantage of her special skill and knowledge of animals (she’s got a very cool background with animals, ask her about it!) Her comfort with a huge guard dog was reassuring. Shes a wonderful person too. Absolutely will book again.
Colleen is amazing! She gave so many updates and pictures! The pups look like they had sooo much fun!! We’re new to rover and she eased our mind & worries :) will definitely be booking with her again if she’s available! Highly recommend, looks like she took great care of our wild pups!
We are so grateful for Tammy! Ruthie is always thrilled to see her and I know she takes great care of her while we’re gone. Great peace of mind!
Elisa is just the best! We have used her multiple times for walks and house sits. Each time, we have been so impressed with her professionalism, communication skills, and most importantly the great care she provides for our young dog Driggs. Elisa sends tons of photos which is so appreciated while we are away (and in each photo Driggs is grinning ear to ear). It’s such a relief to have found someone who puts our minds at ease while traveling by ensuring Driggs is in great hands. Elisa always leaves the house spotless upon our return as well. Thank you Elisa!
Megan is the very best! She’s so responsive and takes amazing care of our Margo. She truly feels like family. 😊
Taegan was an incredible sitter! My dogs loved her, and she treated them like they were her own. She was flexible when my trip got extended, which was so helpful during a stressful trip. Taegan sent me photos of my happy dogs throughout her stay, and it was obvious they were happy and well taken care of. When I returned, the house was immaculate and towels and sheets washed. I hope to use her again!
Casey was great! She sent lots of photos and took great care of our boy. She had great communication as well.
Cassidy took great care of our elderly dog, and she was an amazing communicator! It was a pleasure to see videos of Buddy playing. She left the home very clean and neat and honored our instructions. She was flexible and caring when our plans changed slightly due to an emergency.
Christina was fantastic with our Karma! Her love of animals and experience as a caregiver was evident from our meet and greet. I had complete trust that Karma was in good hands! Karma requires a lot of special attention and medication administration as a blind/diabetic pup, which Christina provided so competently! We loved the many frame-worthy pics she shared of Karma over the sitting, and the way she connected with our sweet girl. We are absolutely working with Christina again! Thank you Christina!!!
Analisa recently watched our dog while we were abroad for a long trip (2.5 weeks) and she was as amazing as ever! I don’t think we would have gone if she had not been available. I cannot recommend her highly enough.
Stephanie did such a great job taking care of our dog and cat. She was attentive to their needs and kept us updated through out her stay. And the pictures she took of our pets are so so cute. Couldn’t have asked for more!
Brianna did amazing! I have 2 dogs one who is very old and needs a lot of care. She did such a good job seeing to all their particular needs! It’s so great to have someone we can trust to watch our high maintenance pups.
Alex was so great with our two pups! Will definitely recommend to friends or family needing help with their pets & hope to book again soon!
Were we pleased with Roshanda? Overjoyed! It's obvious that she takes pet sitting very seriously and our two pups received excellent care. Communication was excellent, pictures were very nice to have, and being confident that the girls were in good hands was absolutely priceless. And unless I'm mistaken, our house was tidier than when we left it! I recommend Roshanda whole-heartedly for those looking for a solid, dependable sitter who is also super nice. Thanks Roshanda!
This was our first experience with pet/house sitting and it exceeded all expectations. Watching the interaction between Seth and Riley Jo (our Silky Terrier) showed what a great bond they had developed. Seth sent us updates and pictures during our 15 day trip and left our home in pristine condition. We highly recommended Seth and the care he gives.
Yulia did a fantastic job taking care of our little Frenchie. She sent us updates with pictures and video's every day. Our pup was truly loved while we were gone. I would recommend Yulia and rebook with her again.
Estella was wonderful with our cat and golden retriever while we were on vacation. Our cat was snuggled on her lap and our dog snuggled beside her before the first day was through. She also house-sat for us while caring for our fur-babies. She watered plants, left the house clean and even washed the bedsheets before she left. When an issue came up, she was communicative and resourceful in resolving it. She even left us a surprise treat! We will definitely be calling Estella again when we travel. I highly recommend her!
TJ, Was, very engaged with both of our furry babies. Communication outstanding! Care plus kindness was very visible. Thanks, TJ once again caring for Luna and Mando. I felt very comfortable
Sam was absolutely amazing! One of our dogs can be weird with new people, but he warmed up to her so well she was sending us photos of them cuddled up! We were able to go away for a week without worrying about the dogs which was amazing. We will definitely book with her in the future and recommend her highly to anyone considering her! :)
Emilee is the sweetest sitter. I’ve never had a house sitter before, but she made the process so easy. She kept me updated with Pancake everyday and gave him all the love I couldn’t while I was away. She kept everything nice and tidy, and followed directions to a T! I will be using her again for sure :)
