About: Hi! I'm Enrique, a radio host and animal lover 🐶🐱. Since I was a child, I've cared for dogs and cats for family and friends, ensuring they receive affection, exercise, and personalized attention. I live in Los Angeles and adapt to each pet's needs: leisurely or high-energy walks, visits to feed, play, and clean up, or stays at home so they feel accompanied. I'm patient, responsible, and love sending photos and videos so you always know how your furry companion is doing. Your pet will be in good hands and with lots of love! Every pet is unique, so I adapt to their needs and personality. Dogs: Calm or energetic walks depending on their age and physical condition, interactive games, fresh water always available, and updates with photos and videos to keep you calm. Cats: Feeding as directed, litter box cleaning, playtime or cuddles if they enjoy it, and respect for their space if they are more independent. Extra: Oral medication if necessary, positive reinforcement, and special attention for puppies or senior pets. My priority is that your furry companion feels safe, loved, and happy while you are away. 🐕🐈 I treat every pet like they're part of my family. I make sure they feel safe, loved, and happy, following their usual routines for feeding, walks, and playtime, and when I visit pets at their home, I respect their space and follow all instructions to keep them comfortable and stress-free.

About: Some quick personal info about my experience. My family has taken care of most animals that you could find in a pet shop. From dogs, cats, reptiles, birds, arachnids, etc. And I understand that your dog needs someone to care for it like family even if it’s for a short amount of time. I currently have a senior dog with my girlfriend (he just turned 10) and he has grown just more affectionate over the years. I’ve taken care my friends’ dogs over the years, from puppies to seniors and even dogs from different households. Emergencies are familiar to me, if it involves being persuasive with getting medication down, topical applications, anxiety meds, or even an emergency visit to a vet, these are situations I have experienced before. Patience and consistency is key when it comes to animals. Even if your dog has a sensitive stomach, I’ve had to take my dog out every 30 minutes for two days, until we got his stomach under control. As long as I can remember, dogs have been a part of my life. And I’d like to put that experience to use for others who have a vacation planned in thr near future. Currently a student with a dog of my own. I share my dog with my girlfriend. He’s large lab mix who is 10 years old! He loves having a friend around and we’d like to keep him socialized through his elder years. Also, very open to sitting in the animal’s own home if the situation calls for it. Animals require a team effort no matter what the environment. I currently live in DTLA in an apartment. Very dog friendly area with plenty of spots for dogs to be comfortable in. I frequent the dog park next to STAPLES Center and also the Silverlake Reservoir. My dog personally enjoys my balcony and gets 3 long walks a day.

“Malia is fantastic. She kept us updated on our pets and sent videos/photos after every visit, which we greatly appreciated, and gave us peace of mind during our time away from home. We wouldn’t hesitate to reach out to Malia again in the future for her to care for Renzo and Franklin again! Thanks Malia!!”


“Great to know that even in an emergency, I have someone I can reach out to that my pets love to see walk in the door! I thank you and my fur children thank you!”


“Dani went above and beyond to make sure our fur babies were taken care of! She was communicative and kept us updated on how they were doing throughout our entire time away. And she was very knowledgeable and sensitive to our pets’ needs. We’re very happy to have booked her and would highly recommend her for any of your pet-sitting needs!”


About: I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs, so caring for them comes naturally to me. Whether it’s an energetic pup needing structure or a senior dog looking for extra snuggles, I know how to balance discipline with affection. I believe in positive reinforcement and setting clear boundaries, ensuring every dog feels safe, happy, and well-behaved. From long walks to belly rubs, I treat every pup like my own. I work remotely, M - F, which allows me to take breaks throughout the day for walks, check-ins, and playtime. My days are flexible, making it easy to accommodate your pup’s needs. I have a large studio apartment with a dog park on the same floor. I take walks and runs near my apartment but can easily keep dog walks to my apartment’s dog park if a pup gets overwhelmed with the city life.

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life. Growing up with pets and spending summers on my grandparents’ farm gave me a natural connection with them. I’ve always been the go-to person for my friends whenever they needed someone to care for their pets. I’m patient, caring, and treat every animal like my own. I used to have a German Shepherd who was with me for almost 10 years, a Chihuahua, and multiple cats, so I’m very familiar with different personalities and needs. When I was in college, I volunteered at an animal shelter, which gave me even more experience caring for animals with different needs. Being a vegetarian is just another way I live out my love for animals. I’m available for full-day boarding on Fridays through Sundays. I can also offer boarding on Tuesdays and Thursdays if you’re okay with your pet being alone at my place for a few hours in the evening while I’m at school. Otherwise, I’m home and available most days to give your pet plenty of attention and care. I live in a spacious apartment that provides a safe, clean, and calm environment where pets can feel comfortable and relaxed. I don’t currently have any pets of my own, so there’s no chance of conflict or distractions, and I can fully focus on caring for your furry friend:)

“Dominique was great with Buscemi! She went above and beyond by visiting Busce 3 times a day instead of two. She sent me consistent updates and pictures. Thanks again, Dominique!”


“Literally the dog whisperer. Anytime Smokey needs anything she handles with easily and goes above and beyond for her clients. Moriah is the only person I trust with my fur baby.”


About: I have had over 3 animals in my home over the past 5 years and have been a teacher for the past 3 years. I love being able to be home during holidays and summer to spend time with the fur babies!!! I am a teacher so during these summer months I am free 24/7. I am also a morning person so I love taking pups on early morning walks. I have a large kennel inside my apartment , however the pets are able to walk freely through the rooms and living space. I have a beautiful dog park in my complex and trail right next door which is great for walking and exercising the animals.

Downtown pet parents share their Rover experiences
Marii did a great job taking care of my cat Toto. She was super responsive, thorough in communication, and I could tell she genuinely cared about Toto’s wellbeing. So far have booked with her twice and definitely will continue to do so in the future, fully recommend!

Laura was fantastic! She was very communicative and reliable, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. She took great care of my cats and kept me updated with messages and photos. I really appreciate her attentiveness and would definitely book her again!

Jaymin was available to care for our cat, Milo, for a last minute request (which was super appreciated)! She was so kind, caring, considerate, communicative and diligent in her care of him! Milo loved her. :) I appreciated how timely she was with her drop-ins as well. Would highly recommend booking her for your pet-sitting needs! Thanks so much, Jaymin!
