“Almira is excellent and cares about the happiness of my dog. She was considerate enough to take my dog on the routes he enjoys and made sure to take care of him. Would definitely recommend her services.”

“It was my first time using Rover and she was great! Super communicative and sent me lots of photos and videos which I appreciated. Will be booking again!”

“Samantha and her husband were lifesavers for my pup. On a recent trip to LA, I got sick and needed help with my dog for a week. Samantha was kind, communicative and committed, responded super fast and even let my dog meet hers at one point. I would highly recommend her.”
About: Animals have been a part of my life since the day I was born, and I can’t imagine life without them! Over the years I have personally owned 3 rescue pit bull type dogs and 2 cats. I foster dogs, puppies, and kittens through Pasadena Humane, where I’ve gained hands on experience with pups of all ages, sizes, medical conditions, and personalities. I’m Fear Free trained, which means I focus on keeping pets calm, comfortable, and happy during care. I have experience working with reactive dogs, understanding their needs and body language, as well as providing gentle, attentive care for senior dogs. Whether it’s playtime, training reinforcement, or just a cozy walk at their pace, I’ll treat your pup like family while keeping their safety and happiness my top priority. I currently have my own leather working business, so I am able to work my schedule around your animals needs. Whether it’s a midday walk or overnight care. I follow any and all instructions provided for caring for your pets. Any questions or concerns, I may have, I won’t hesitate to ask you. I know how precious updates are, so I will provide you with a quick updates and photos daily of how your fur babies are doing. I will also clean up after myself and any messes your fur babies might make. I am a strong believer that you should always leave a space as clean or cleaner than when you found it.

About: Hi! My name is Kelly, and in addition to being a life-long dog lover, I have experience dog-sitting and dog-walking since 2017. I learned how to love and care for dogs from my first childhood pet, a one-eyed poodle named Sushi, who was a part of my family for thirteen years. Activities that I would rather do with a dog: - Hiking - Walking & Jogging - Playing sports (fetch is the best!) - Driving with the windows down - Having a dance party - Sunbathing at the beach - Watching "Friends" reruns - Sleeping :) My schedule is very flexible during the week as I work from home. Also, my evenings and weekends are almost always open and free to check-in with your pups! I live in a pet-friendly building and can accomodate a crate in my apartment if needed. I also have a spare tile bathroom where a pee pad can be placed. Unless otherwise directed, I typically leave a bowl of water out at all times in case your doggo gets thirsty. In my client's homes, I aim to keep things tidy and make notes of each visit to let you know how I spent the time with your pup!
About: I’m not just a pet sitter — I’m a lifelong animal rescuer who has cared for many injured and abandoned animals over the years. I also have 4 years of hands-on experience caring for my own disabled dog, which has taught me advanced skills in patience, mobility support, medication routines, and reading subtle body language. I’m currently preparing for the LSAT full-time, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I structure my study sessions around the pets I care for, so I’m able to provide consistent attention, long walks, playtime, and supervision throughout the day. Because I study from home, I’m almost always on-site and available. Your pet won’t be left alone for long periods, and I can easily adjust my routine to meet their specific needs — whether that’s frequent potty breaks, slow walks for seniors, or extra cuddle time for anxious pups. I live in a 700 sqft pet-friendly apartment, and the entire living room is dedicated to the dogs I care for. This open space gives them plenty of room to explore, play, and relax safely. I keep the area clean, cozy, and free of clutter so pets can move around comfortably.
About: Animals have been a part of my life since I was a child—my father raised large dogs, and I grew up playing and bonding with them daily. That early experience gave me a deep understanding of canine behavior, especially with bigger breeds. During the pandemic, I adopted a cat who became my companion through a challenging time. Although I eventually had to find him a new home due to international travel, the experience taught me even more about pet care and emotional connection. Today, I share my life with an adorable cavapoo who brings so much joy to my daily routine. I truly enjoy spending time with both cats and dogs and understand the different kinds of care, energy, and attention they need. Whether it’s training a puppy, giving calm companionship to a senior pet, or simply going for a fun, structured walk—I bring patience, empathy, and attentiveness to every interaction. You can trust that I’ll treat your pet like one of my own—with love, respect, and responsibility. I'm very flexible on weekends, Mondays and Tuesdays. I'm able to take your pets out for playing or walking. I have a cavepoo myself, he is super friendly with other dogs. Whether your pet is staying with me or I’m caring for them in your home, I always aim to create a calm, loving, and safe environment that feels familiar and stress-free. I take time to understand each pet’s unique routine—feeding schedule, exercise needs, favorite toys, and any special instructions you provide. In my home, I offer a cozy, pet-friendly space with plenty of natural light, soft beds, and a relaxed atmosphere. I live in a walkable neighborhood that’s great for regular strolls, and I always make sure pets have enough exercise and playtime. My cavapoo is friendly and well-socialized, and I always do slow, supervised introductions to make sure everyone feels safe and gets along.

Mostly open schedule. Usually available on weekends and holidays except Christmas and Thanksgiving. Can do day visits or overnights.

About: I’ve watched friends and family’s dogs since I was a kid. About 13 years ago I rescued my pup and now have the pleasure to love and care for her as she slows down in life. I’ve previously taken care of pups on meds and post surgeries and I always carry a pet medical kit with me just in case. I’m currently working more of a part time job so I have time to spend time with your furry friends. I have plenty of time to spend walking or hanging with your animal! I just bought a home with my dream yard that’s fully fenced in and lots of space. I have a sweet and chill pup named Millie who everyone animal or human loves. I also have 2 cats that are very comfortable with dogs and are open to playing with them or just coexisting.
“Mark is incredibly thoughtful, punctual, and communicative. He let us know when he was on the way to our place and gave comprehensive report cards for Nori. We connected early so Nori would be able to get to know him. He was thinking of logistics and made things incredibly smooth. We will be booking again without hesitation”

“Julia was great with our dog Gene this week when she needed a few walks. She took extra time to walk her and play with her outside and even gave some attention to our cats! I could tell from the pictures that our doggie just loved her. I definitely recommend Julia and hope to get to have her walk Gene again soon!”

“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.”

Brady was an outstanding walker. He was reliable, prompt, and observant. He communicated daily making sure to include a photo, which was a nice touch. He also worked with my schedule which can be cumbersome to deal with. I’d definitely use him again and would recommend him to anyone looking for peace of mind while away.

Saige is THE BEST! I was so nervous about booking my first time on Rover but she was so sweet and attentive to my dog. She even was able to help me with him an additional day when my work trip got delayed and that meant the world. She kept me updated with lots of pics and I came home to a well taken care of dog. Will be booking again!

Tad is the best! Such a kind person, and he went above and beyond taking care of my dog while I was out of town, which is especially impressive and appreciated because my dog is reactive and not the easiest dog to handle! AND it was ninety degrees outside! So yes Tad rules!! ❤️

Leeanna was amazing with our sassy terrier mix and flexible when we needed to squeeze in an additional walk. She was very communicative and we trust her 100% to take good care of our pup. We will definitely reach out again for future dog walking needs. Thank you, Leeanna!!
