“Danielle was terrific! She was thorough and caring and easy to communicate with. She accommodated our last minute needs and we felt our cats were in good hands with her. Wouldn’t hesitate to hire her again.”

“Saige was absolutely wonderful with our pets. From the very first visit, she was kind, responsible, and incredibly attentive. She followed all instructions perfectly and took excellent care of our cats, including Kaito, who has special medical needs. We truly appreciated how well she documented each visit, it gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Our pets were clearly comfortable and happy with her, which means everything to us. We would 100% trust Saige again and would be more than happy to have her care for our pets in the future. Highly recommend!”

“Candie is the BEST cat sitter!! She sent so many pictures and videos, and really spent time playing with my cat which I so appreciated! I highly, highly recommend her!”

About: I've happily cared for other people's dogs and cats throughout my life. It is something I always look forward to and approach with a great sense of responsibility. I'm self-employed, so I have the flexibility to work with your schedule and also come through for you in a pinch. Looking forward to becoming someone you can rely on! I'm always happy to do a no-cost/no-strings meet and greet so please don't hesitate to ask. Also, I'm a big believer in the value of communication. Please expect updates through Rover's app during walks and drop-ins so you can rest easy that your family is in good hands!
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
“Thanks for looking after my boy Sofia - I felt like he was in incredibly good hands with you! I know he’s made a friend these last 2 weeks! Thank you for you clear communication and fun updates - I really appreciated them while I was out of town.”

About: I have two beloved cats that I've cared for for 10+ years. In addition to this, I am a regular house-and-dog sitter for a Border Collie/Black lab mix here in Los Angeles, and I grew up with both cats and dogs (and sitting for friends and family with both animals). I've given animals medicine, I've scooped hundreds of pounds of litter, and I love going on a long walk with any animal friend. I'm happy to provide whatever care you need, and as a pet owner myself I take this care very seriously. I'm taking a break from my job for a couple of months before I start school, so I have a very open schedule to provide care for your pet. I'm able to check in mornings, afternoons and evenings - really anytime your pet needs. I love to exercise, so dog walks are no problem at all either! I'm happy to spend time not just feeding/walking/scooping litter for your pet, but spending as much time needed providing them play and pets/affection. Happy to provide house sitting services as well. Sadly my space is not terribly large and already houses my own two cats, so I'm unable to provide pet boarding service at my home.
About: I have many years of experience taking care of pets including dogs, cats, and small animals. My experienced care can consist of daily walks and feeding to caring for senior pets that need extra attention. I've been trusted with pets because I'm reliable and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I'll make sure you're constantly updated on how your pets are doing with lots of pictures,videos and activity reports. I focus on giving each pet the right mix of care, exercise and attention they need. If you're looking for someone dependable to look after your pet, I'd be happy to help. I have flexible availability to fit your pet care needs. I'm fully available on weekends and after 5pm on weekdays. Since I work from home during the day, this allows me to be responsive and reliable when caring for your pet at your home. I have no problems adapting my time to whatever schedule that your pet would require. For longer pet-sitting periods, I can adjust my schedule with advance notice. I provide attentive in home pet care focused on your pet's safety and comfort. I take time to build rapport with your pets throughout my stay. Please rest assured that your home and pets will be in capable, trustworthy hands while you're away.

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
About: Hi, I'm Mara! I'm a pet parent of three fur babies: my senior dog, Laney, and my two cats, Pip and Sushi. Growing up on a farm, I have always been an avid animal lover. I have over ten years of pet care experience, including dog and cat drop-in visits, doggy walks and hikes, overnight stays, play dates, and simply quality time. I have fostered 13 cats and kittens through Angel City Pit Bulls and Stray Cat Alliance — providing bottle and syringe feeding, medical care, and transportation to and from vet and adoption appointments. I would be honored to be your next loving and trustworthy sitter for your beloved furry family member(s). I'm a contract writer and editor allowing me to create my own flexible schedule to provide consistent and high-quality pet care for all of your fur babies' needs. I provide detail-oriented care customized to each pet's needs. My senior rescue pup, Laney, is doggy-aggressive, and I have 7+ years of ensuring safe walking and play environments for dogs and cats. I provide enriching play experiences for both dogs and cats, and always clean up after play and meal times.
“Minay is the best! She’s super reliable and communicative and great with my cat (who can be particular), taking good care of her and making her feel at ease. Highly recommend!”
“Crystal was an absolute gem with my cat. She's reliable, thoughtful, and her love for animals comes through in everything she does. The regular updates she sent gave me such peace of mind while I was away — I never had to wonder how things were going. I'll absolutely be booking with her again and would recommend her to anyone without hesitation!”

About: Downtown Los Angeles-based, I lovingly raised a rescued pittie for 15 years. Now I’m ready to share that same care, patience, and joy with your dog. I am a full-time novelist which means I work from home and welcome the opportunity to spend time with your pup and give you a helping hand. I have a pet-friendly DTLA condo and know all the best places to walk. I don't mind having your best friend plop down on my couches, and I keep the AC running during the warm months. When it comes to dropping in at your place, I will respect your privacy, house rules, and special instructions.
About: As a dog owner myself, I know how important it is to find someone trustworthy and caring for your pet. I’m patient, active, and genuinely love animals. Whether your dog needs long walks, playtime, cuddles, or extra attention, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. During the summer, I have a much more flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and playtime throughout the week and weekends. I care for pets with patience, attention, and lots of love. In my home, I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and part of the family, with regular walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention. In a client’s home, I always respect their routines and instructions to help pets feel relaxed and comfortable in their familiar environment.
About: I’ve been a long term Wiener dog mom for 20 years now. So, I can say I’m a connoisseur of little dogs with big attitudes. I specialize in senior pup care as my last 2 doxies lived fulfilled lives to almost 15 and 17 years old. In the past, I was an avid Rover customer utilizing their boarding and walking services. Now that both of my pups have passed on, I want to share my love for dogs by taking care of yours- before I explore the option of getting another. I’m a property manager that works from home. So, I have lots of free time for walks and play. I know all the best DTLA dog spots as I’m a Los Angeles native. I have history of administering medication and history with pets with disabilities. At Your Service I work from home Monday - Friday and home weekends. I am the property manager for the community I live in, so I’m free for frequent walks and outings. My community is gated access with 24 hour concierge service. I can also be found in the leasing office during the week. If out on a walk, our doorman will direct you to the lobby.
“We had a wonderful experience with Brianni. She was very communicative with me and Wilbur’s needs. She followed directions and Wilbur loved playing with her. Was a pleasure to come home to a crated sleeping puppy with no issues.”

Downtown pet parents share their Rover experiences
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!

I don’t even remember how many times Seungyeon has helped me out. She now is the only one I trust when it comes to taking care of my cats. She just got this greasy energy that makes both human and animal love her and I’m afraid my Zoey loves seeing her almost as much as seeing me!

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!!
