“Athanasia is an amazing find! I am a first time Rover user and was very nervous. Athanasia put both me and my dog Presley at ease at the meet and greet. We booked her and she dropped in on Presley three days on a row -- doing a great job! She is an excellent communicator and coaxed great smiles from him in home and outside on their walks. Athanasia clearly loves dogs and cares for her Rover pets well. I highly recommend Athanasia and will use her again and again!!”

“Omolara took great care of my senior dog during the week I was away. She provided exercise, feeding, and clean-up of the space, when my dog couldn’t quite hold it. I highly recommend her to anyone!”
About: Dogs have always been a part of my life. Family I'd visit growing up and still visit have had 10 dogs featuring 8 different breeds, including German Shepherds and Pitbulls. I've raised and basic-trained 3 puppy rescues since 2001, saw 2 of them to seniority (Chihuahua and Jack Russel-Chihuahua mix), and raised the most recent (Pug) until 2024 when I blessed close family members with her because they have a huge yard she adores and want her to be happy. I can't wait to fill this place with the vibrant energy only dogs can give! I'm currently in between jobs so I'd be able to give your furbaby all the attention they need. I just need a day's heads up to get a few things sorted and we're all set! Your place or my place? I can go either way! This townhome has a patio your furbaby can sunbathe in with a breeze and shade, or we can keep them inside nice and cool/warm if the weather isn't friendly. If they're less adventurous, I can keep them company at your place where they'd feel more at home.
“Allen is so great with our 8 month old Golden Retriever puppy and does a great job making him feel special during his visits. Allen has great patience with our puppy's incredible energy and shenanigans! Another nice thing is that Allen gives us a great report on how things are going and makes us feel at ease while we are away. We highly recommend him to take care of your pets! Thank you Allen!”
“Rebecca is awesome! She is very communicative, pays great attention to details, and super sweet too. This is our second time booking with her and it’s been a blessing to have someone we trust and feel comfortable with watching our cats while we are out of town. I would book her more often but I only really go away once a year. She is the first person I’d think of if I need a sitter for any of my cats or dogs.”
“Bonnie went above and beyond to take care and interact with both my kitties! I’ve never left them alone for so long, so knowing she was there gave me great peace of mind. Very thorough communicator as well!”
About: I grew up surrounded by animals, so caring for pets has always come easily to me. As a dog groomer, I’m experienced in handling dogs of all sizes with patience and care. I’m a true animal lover who treats every pet with love. I enjoy taking dogs on calm, enjoyable walks in nature to keep them happy and active. You can trust that your pet will be safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I am currently working part time. So I have a lot of free time to play and cuddle with your pet so they don’t feel lonely. I am always ready to cuddle or play if they want or need! I can adjust to their comfort and unique personalities with patience and love.
About: I’ve taken care of 3 dogs consistently. Friends and family have trusted me with their pets! I have a golden retriever named Berkley who loves to go on walks but prefers to be at the beach! I work a hybrid schedule and love to start the day off with some good exercise with my Goldie! Having my routine helps me to be there for other doggies who also thrive on a good walking routine! I care for my pets by administering treats and such. Berkley is crate trained but we’ve long since ditched the crate and have successfully transitioned to free roaming.
About: I have taken care of my families pets since I was a child, from dogs and cats to birds and spiders, I make sure they’re fed and well taken care of. I’m a full time college student just looking to make some money while I study, I mostly have morning classes for now, however that might change later I have my cat in my room with a fence so he can’t bug my dog who likes to run around more than he does.
“Anika was excellent! I needed someone to drop by and take care of my cats for seven days while I was out of the country. Anika stopped by a day before to meet with me and the cats. I told her that the cats are shy and likely to hide during the visits. Boy! Was I wrong. By the end of my trip, one cat was showing his stomach, letting Anika rub him, and posing for pictures. Anika was also nice enough to give me updates about the feral cats who visit. I would definitely recommend Anika for your fur babies.”

Currently my family has 2 cats and 2 dogs which I care for and love dearly. I take them on walks and to the beach, i would treat your fur baby as if it were my own.

I’ve also lived in Los Angeles my entire life, and love exploring new dog parks and dog beaches. Whenever I am watching over a clients pet I also make sure to keep an extra careful eye on them because I know that the absence of their own already has them on edge.

About: With years of experience caring for pets of all kinds, I’ve become the go-to sitter for friends, family, and neighbors alike. From energetic pups to chill cats, I’m comfortable managing multiple pets at once! I often house sit for households with four or more pets at a time. I have a natural talent for making animals feel safe, loved, and relaxed while their owners are away. Whether it’s playtime, walks, feedings, or cuddles, I’ve got it all covered with care and reliability. As a student with a flexible schedule, I’m able to provide attentive and reliable pet care throughout the week. I often have daytime availability for walks, feedings, and check-ins, and I’m also available for overnight stays. I can adjust to meet your pet’s needs. My top priority is making sure they feel relaxed, safe, and loved while their owner is away. I stick closely to each pet’s routine—whether it’s mealtime, walks, playtime, or quiet cuddles—so they stay comfortable in their own environment. I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality, building trust with patience and affection. I do everything I can to make them feel secure and cared for, just like they would with their family.
About: Hello!! My name is Karen and I have been caring for dogs, bunnies & cats since I was young. My very first gift from my parents was an 8 pound chihuahua and she became my top priority. She was with me for 18 sweet years. Later I was blessed to care for three beautiful bunnies for 14 years, I have also been a dog mom to the most beautiful boy that I adopted & his name was kodama. I shared 9 wonderful years with him and 2 years ago he passed and it’s been my greatest loss. I now have only one cat that has me wrapped around his paw☺️. I am passionate about the care of every little soul that I can share a memory with. My priority will always be the pet that I am trusted with. I am currently running a pet essentials online store & am absolutely passionate about animals & their care. I’m reachable at any time so feel free to connect at your convenience! I am currently not able to offer services in my home, but I am offering overnight pet sitting that would take place at clients home. The pet and myself will stay in designated areas, I am mindful of their presence and stay vigilant on knowing what they are up to at all times, even if I might be on my computer or cleaning up etc, they know they’re the star of the show.

Karla was incredibly kind, attentive, and went above and beyond while caring for my cat. My cat absolutely loved her, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She was very responsive, paid close attention to detail, and kept me updated throughout my vacation, which really helped ease my worries. I truly appreciated the level of care and compassion she showed. I’m looking forward to rebooking with her in the future!
We had an amazing experience with Stefanie. From the moment we met, it was clear how much she genuinely cares about animals. Stefanie took such loving, attentive care of our cats, kept us updated with messages and photos, and made sure they were comfortable, happy, and stress-free while we were away. Coming home to calm, well-cared-for cats gave us so much peace of mind. We’re incredibly grateful and would absolutely trust her again.
This was my 2nd time booking Hailee & she went above and beyond! When she arrived at my house, one of the smoke detectors was going off and she made sure the house was safe before leaving my pets at home alone. She was calm and professional in dealing with me and that unexpected situation. She takes wonderful pictures and truly seems to care about my pets. I recommend her highly!
Rebecca is awesome! She is very communicative, pays great attention to details, and super sweet too. This is our second time booking with her and it’s been a blessing to have someone we trust and feel comfortable with watching our cats while we are out of town. I would book her more often but I only really go away once a year. She is the first person I’d think of if I need a sitter for any of my cats or dogs.
