About: With 8 years of pet care experience, I offer dependable, loving service tailored to each pet’s needs. I’m skilled in puppy training, senior pet care, administering medications, and building trust with anxious animals. I treat every pet like my own, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. From energetic walks to gentle cuddles, I provide the attention and routine your pet deserves while you’re away. Pet care is a natural part of my daily and weekly routine it’s something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize. I structure my day around feeding times, walks, play sessions, and check-ins to make sure pets feel safe, seen, and loved. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday visits, or evening cuddles, I’m flexible and committed to maintaining each pet’s routine so they feel comfortable and cared for every step of the way. Whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s, safety and trust are my top priorities. I take time to understand each pet’s routine, temperament, and specific needs to create a calm, secure environment. In client homes, I respect their space and follow instructions closely keeping doors locked, areas clean, and pets supervised at all times. In my home, pets have a quiet, cozy area to relax, regular potty breaks, and lots of affection. I’m attentive to signs of stress or illness, and I always prioritize clear communication with pet parents for peace of mind.

“This was my first time using a service to walk my dog. I was nervous because my dog can be a lot to handle. However, Moriah put my nerves at ease. She was great. She communicated well, sent updates, arrived on time, and sent pictures of my dog during the walk. Bonnie was eager to go on walks with her every day. I highly recommend her for walking your dog.”


About: Hello pawrents! My name is Peiwen & I am a ceramics artist living in South Park of DTLA. I grew up around dogs and have been with my westie since I was 9! I am great with animals and luckily been blessed with many love from the dogs too! I am loving, patient, and I am the designated pet sitters among my friends. I currently teach at a ceramics studio part-time, and spend the rest of my time making art at home or in the studio. Our studio is dog friendly so I can take your doggo with me as long as they are well socialized! I am very active and love outdoor activities, and will take your pup on longer walks or even runs if needed. My apartment has a fenced dog park where your babies can roam around freely! I don’t currently have a dog of my own — after growing up with my beloved Westie for 12 years, I’ve taken time to focus on caring for other dogs through pet sitting and dog walking until I know I will be settling down in a city for more than 3-4 years. This also means your pup gets my full attention without needing to share space with another pet! It’s been a meaningful way for me to stay connected to animals while keeping my schedule flexible. Over the years, I have taken care of dogs of different sizes and breeds, from small dogs like Maltese to bigger dogs like a Rottweiler. As a former pet owner myself, I know how important it is to feel confident about the person that you leave your pet with even just for a short walk. I will make sure to provide regular text and photo updates and treat your dog like my own! I am a ceramics artist and teach part-time at a studio that is 3 minutes walk from my home. My schedule is very flexible and I can take your pup with me most days when I am not teaching! A meet and greet is a must before any service is offered! I want to get to know you and your dogs and make sure they are comfortable with me. Each dog has their own personality and I really want to make sure I honor them!

About: Let me love your pet as much as you do! 🥰 I’ve been doing home visits since 2020 to both dogs and cats. You can trust me to feed your fur babies, give them snuggles, change puppy pads/litter boxes, or take them on walks. I also have a car if you need pet pick up or drop off for any reason. Let me know how I can service you! I work a 9-5 Monday through Friday, but I am happy to give your pet love from 5pm-9pm. I am open Sundays and Saturdays for any services you may need. I am located in DTLA but my building has a beautiful doggy play place that is more sanitary than the street and can let you pup run free (with your permission of course). I am happy to walk your pup in the street if that’s what you’d prefer. While in your home, I am happy to clean up any messes your pets have left from potty to notorious Cat spills. I am happy to take extra sanitary measures upon your request, please let me know what makes you feel comfortable.

Kylee T.
“Kylee has taken care of our dogs on several occasions. Our dogs are always super excited to see her! She is extremely reliable, trustworthy and kind. She has experience caring for dogs with medical needs as two of our three dogs require extra care. One dog, who is diabetic and blind, needs extra potty breaks, structure in his physical surroundings and daily routines, as well as insulin shots after meals. Another dog is deaf and requires patience as she is reliant on visual cues and lots of love and reassurance in new situations. Our third dog is thankfully easy and is happy-go-lucky. Kylee does an outstanding job caring for all 3 of our fur babies. She goes the extra mile to ensure our dogs are well cared for and loved when we are out of town. We highly recommend Kylee as she is committed to providing the love, care, and companionship all dogs deserve!”

Central City dog parents share their Rover experiences
Malia was the most absolute patient person ever with this booking. The key made for her did not work and I was reliant on the front desk to let her in which was not smooth at all. I can’t express how thankful I am. Thank you so much for caring for Savannah while I was away.

Hannah was amazing with our dog Penelope! From the moment they met, it was clear Penelope felt totally comfortable and happy with her. Hannah was kind, professional, and super communicative—she gave us updates and photos that totally put our minds at ease. We could tell she genuinely cared, and it made all the difference. We can’t wait to hire her again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog walker! 🐾💛

I can’t recommend Sabrina enough! She has been absolutely wonderful with our dog Lowe. From the first walk, it was clear she truly cares about the pets she works with. Lowe gets so excited every time she comes! Sabrina is reliable, communicative, and professional. We feel so at ease knowing Lowe is in such great hands. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your dog like their own, Sabrina is the one!
