About: I have two cats and a dog!! I have lots of experience dog walking and taking care of both cats and dogs. I am studying to be a veterinarian at USC!! I work part time and am available in the weekday evenings and all day on the weekends! I love to exercise so dogs that prefer a jog or a hike are great! During walks and drop-in visits, I pay close attention to pets’ behavior, energy levels, and routines. I make sure dogs get exercise, playtime, fresh water, and lots of attention, and I am also happy to feed cats, clean litter boxes, and spend time playing with them. I will always respect your home and follow any care instructions carefully
About: I’ve been caring for animals my whole life and love working with both dogs and cats of all personalities. I grew up with three dogs—two rescues (including a foster we ended up keeping) and one puppy—and regularly handled their care, including walks, feeding, and playtime. I’ve also been pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbors since middle school, so I’m very comfortable stepping into different routines and making pets feel at ease. I’m especially experienced with cats. I raised two stray kittens growing up—one I helped bottle-feed—and in college I fostered a very shy, formerly stray cat. With patience and consistency, he became incredibly affectionate and is now my own cat who sleeps next to me every night. I pay close attention to body language and always respect each pet’s boundaries, whether they’re energetic, anxious, or need a little extra time to warm up. My goal is always to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m very responsive, reliable, and happy to send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands! I’m currently a part-time student with a very flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention and care throughout the day. I’m available most weekdays and weekends, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I’m available for walks and drop-in visits, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine. While I’m not available for overnight stays, I’m very flexible during the day and can accommodate multiple visits if needed. I’m also very responsive and happy to help with last-minute requests when possible. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always prioritize safety, routine, and making pets feel comfortable in their familiar environment. I take time to understand each pet’s needs, including feeding schedules, exercise, and any specific instructions. I’m very attentive to body language and behavior, especially with shy or anxious pets, and I always respect their boundaries. I make sure doors, gates, and harnesses are secure at all times during walks and visits. I treat every home with care and respect, and I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is safe and well cared for.
About: I grew up surrounded by pets, including two German Shepherds and cats, so I’m very comfortable with large, active breeds and senior dogs. I’ve managed everything from puppy energy to the specialized care needed for older pets (my own dog lived to 14). I’m reliable, patient, and will treat your furry friends with the same love and attention I gave my own. I’m a full-time student, but honestly, I study from home most of the time. This means your pup won't be left alone, and I can easily feed them during the day if you are busy at work. I’m also usually home all weekend, so I have plenty of time to hang out and give them my full attention. I usually finish my school on mondays and wednesdays at 3 pm, and on tuesdays, thursdays and fridays at 12 pm! Animals mean a lot to me, and I treat every pet like my own. I'm happy to care for your dogs either at my place or come over to your home, depending on what's best for them. I carefully follow all your rules about routines, love going for long walks, and will make sure they get lots of cuddles and attention.

About: Ever since I was a kid, I have had a special connection with animals in a way I can’t quite explain. I was the one coming home with all kinds of various animals, big and small. The people in my life know that if they need their pet looked after, I will leap at the opportunity. I am currently part time with a pretty flexible schedule I can spend as much time needed with your little guys. We can work something out! I live in an apartment in down town with a little guy who is very friendly and playful and lives a life of luxury lol
“Made me feel very comfortable as this is my first time using Rover. She followed instructions and my pup seemed very happy. I would definitely recommend and would use again in the future.”
About: Hi! I’m a huge dog lover and have spent years caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, personalities, and energy levels. While working remotely, I’ve had the opportunity to foster several dogs, including puppies, and I’ve also helped care for two senior Chihuahuas (both over 12 years old) for the past few years. They have completely different temperaments, which has taught me the importance of getting to know each dog as an individual and understanding what makes them feel safe, comfortable, and happy. One of my favorite things to do with dogs is spend time outdoors. Whether it’s a neighborhood walk, a park visit, or a hiking adventure, I love giving dogs the opportunity to explore, sniff, exercise, and enjoy the world around them. I always tailor activities to each dog’s age, fitness level, personality, and your preferences as their owner. When it comes to animal care, I take it very seriously. I have experience administering medications in syringe, powder, and pill form and understand the importance of following feeding schedules, routines, and care instructions carefully. My goal is always to make sure your dog feels secure, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I treat every dog as if they were part of my own family. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care, and I strive to provide the kind of attention, communication, and reliability that I would want for my own dog. I’d be happy to connect and learn more about your pup! I’m a digital nomad meaning I work digitally so my work schedule is online, so I’m open during the week to dog walk and dog sit ! How I care for pets is really letting them be in the respective areas that you allow and tending to them so I making sure they’re all right and that they feel my presence while I’m there.
“This review is long overdue for Rose! Shes the best Rover sitter! She has watched my two beloved fur babies Millie and Penny so many times, often available for same day bookings., which is amazing bc my schedule can be quite unpredictable. She’s a great communicator and always sends photos and updates. I’d recommend her completely!”
About: I have over 6 years of experience caring for dogs and truly treat every pet like my own. I work in the pet supplement industry, so I have a strong understanding of pet health, nutrition, and daily care. I also love making homemade pet treats and baked goods to ensure pets enjoy healthy and safe snacks. In addition, I have volunteered at animal shelters and have experience fostering abandoned puppies, which has made me very patient and attentive, especially with young or sensitive dogs. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playing, or simply giving them love and comfort, I always make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for. I currently have a very flexible schedule and can dedicate most of my time to caring for dogs. I’m available seven days a week and can provide plenty of attention, playtime, and consistent care for your pet. Advance communication and booking are always welcome. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. My dog is very friendly and can be a great play companion. If your dog prefers their own space, I also have a fenced living area (about 300 sqft) where they can safely play and relax on their own. I carefully prepare homemade pet meals to ensure they are healthy and suitable, so your dog won’t have any issues related to diet changes. If requested, I can also take your dog to a fenced dog park for safe outdoor playtime. I provide frequent updates with photos and videos, so you can always feel reassured and connected while your pet is in my care.
About: I grew up raising animals (big and small) in Texas and when I moved to LA for work, I started to take care of animals for friends and colleagues. If I can give a pet owner peace of mind their fur baby will be taken care of, plus have the joy and being with that animal, that’s a win-win I work from home as a freelance creative and have plenty of time and energy to care for animals. I love them so much, it really doesn’t feel like a job. It’s wonderful to care for them and help pet owners have peace of mind their fur babies are in good hands Every pet reacts differently to new people, and every home has their own routines and preferences. I’ve always found if you show respect to an animal and what they’re used to, you’ll bond with them and make them feel safe. I’m very used to every client having different needs, there’s no “one size fits all” approach. I live in the first floor of an apartment with a community yard and I have a patio with grass for quick potty breaks. I enjoy Long walks in my Valley Village neighborhood which is very safe, and I love walking dogs multiple times a day if needed

Central City pet parents share their Rover experiences
This was my first time using Rover and I couldn’t be more pleased with my experience! She truly exceeded all of my expectations. She was communicative, kind, and always on time, everything you could hope for in a sitter. As a first time cat mom leaving my cat, I was a little nervous, but she made me feel completely at ease. Her updates were so thorough, and she sent lots of pictures, which was incredibly comforting while I was away. I had zero stress and full trust in her the entire time. I will absolutely be booking her every time I go out of town. She’s the best, 10/10 recommend!
Ana was absolutely wonderful and I can’t recommend her enough!! She was responsible, communicative, and clearly very experienced with cats. My kitty is extremely shy and usually takes a long time to warm up to new people, but she took to Ana surprisingly quickly, which says everything. I came home to a happy, relaxed kitty and could tell she had been very well taken care of. If you're looking for someone smart, trustworthy, and great with animals, Ana is a fantastic choice. I would absolutely book her again.
Sabrina took great care of my two dogs, and was very responsible and responsive. She sent me regular photo and written updates, and had strong and reliable communication. I had peace of mind knowing she was taking care of my dogs while I was traveling, and highly recommend her!
Wanyao was absolutely wonderful with our puppy, Jasper! She is incredibly easy to communicate with and followed all of our care instructions perfectly. We loved getting constant photo updates of Jasper throughout the day. It gave us so much peace of mind seeing how happy he was. We highly recommend Wanyao and will definitely book with her again!
Daniele really helped us when our first sitter had an emergency last minute. She took such great care of our cats and sent wonderful updates throughout our time away. We will definitely request her help again whenever we travel, I would highly recommend her!!
Samantha gave great care to my two girls while I was away for an extended trip. This is the longest that I’ve left them and I was very reassured that they were well taken care of. Great communication and she was able to figure out how to interact with my spicy Cardi, which has been a challenge in the past with other sitters. I am very grateful for her and look forward to future bookings.
Best sitter ever! Took my request which was last minute and was incredibly kind and communicative. Took good care of my cats, made sure they were fed and had water. She also let me know that I had a leak in my apartment and helped me identify from where. Meant alot! Would highly recommend and work with her again
