House Sitting Echo Park

About: I have over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I’ve regularly pet-sat for friends and family, fostered animals, and provided attentive care for pets of all ages. I’m comfortable administering medications and following specific routines to ensure pets feel safe and well cared for. I’m also able to stay multiple days with pets when needed. I currently have a 15-year-old dog, so I’m especially patient, attentive, and experienced with senior pet care. I treat every animal like my own and prioritize comfort, consistency, and love. I work fully remote, which allows me to be flexible with my location and spend plenty of time with the pets I’m caring for as long as I have internet access. My job isn’t overly demanding, so I’m able to give pets consistent attention throughout the day, including feeding, walks or playtime, medication, and companionship. This flexibility allows me to easily stay multiple days with pets and maintain their normal routines while their owners are away. I care for pets by prioritizing consistency, comfort, and attention to their individual needs. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, medications, walks or playtime, and any specific instructions provided by the owner. I make sure pets feel safe and comfortable in their environment by giving them plenty of companionship, monitoring their behavior and health, and adjusting care as needed. With my own senior dog, I’m especially attentive to signs of discomfort or changes in behavior, and I bring that same level of patience and care to every pet I look after.

“We are the obsessed dog owners with a senior dog - Soren - who’s really been struggling this year. Sarah is the only sitter we trust and she’s been flexible and supportive - plus gentle and thoughtful with Soren. We have meds, a strict schedule, and she’s diligent and dependable. She’s helped us have a bit more of a life again and we went on vacation - she handled him for a week and was communicative the whole time!”

“Don is very responsive and dependable. It was our first time leaving our dog with someone else without either of us there . Everything was well tended to, including our two cats. Would definitely recommend.”

“Zixuan took such good care of Freddie and Marcel while she was sitting at our place! She’s been walking Freddie for a while, and we were really glad we had someone our pets trusted to care for them while we were out of town. We got pictures and updates every day, and they got lots of attention and playing in :)”

“Tania did a great job pet sitting for us during the holidays. She really has the magic touch!”

“In the rush before our wedding, we realized we needed a house-sitter to take care of our dog, Barklee. We only had a few days before we left the city and put a lot of trust in Bailee. Our dog is a rescue and really doesn't like strangers - Additionally, this was the first time that we ever had a stranger take care of our little pup (the friends that usually do were at our wedding!). Bailee was incredibly communicative and shared photos with us several times over the 5 nights she stayed at our apartment. I can see why so many customers have re-booked her & I know we will in the future.”

“Lillian is terrific. On time, thoughtful and diligent. She is flexible as well, and was able to extend her time with us no problem. And the doggies loved her! Highly recommend!”

“Destiny was great, she was so sweet and nice. She was really good with our dog Mookie who is a little wild at times, she took such great care of him and our home. She sent updates and photos and I never felt worried. Definitely recommend her and will be using her again. 10/10+++++”

“Marielle was a great sitter for my girls! She was very communicative and kept in touch very well. She was so patient with my older more timid pup and i couldn't have asked for a better sitter for that!”

About: Hi, I’m Jane! I grew up caring for all kinds of animals including a Golden Retriever, Shitzu, and a Fat-Tailed Gecko. Although I adore all animals, cats have always had a special place in my heart. I now have two beautiful kitties by the names of Chichi and Ivy. I'm strong, athletic and fully capable of caring for any type of pet no matter how big or small. I understand that every pet is different and has their own personality and set of boundaries. I am fully committed to meeting their specific needs. Pets are family and require only the best care and attention. During house visits, I take great pride in walking, feeding, playing and providing endless affection. Please don't hesitate to reach out - I want to meet you!

About: I'm new to Rover, but very much not new to pets! I've volunteered with my local Humane Society, as well as worked for an overnight kennel service. In both of those situations, I was largely placed with dogs - giving them playtime, food, treats, and oral medication - although we also served cats. While kennels are an option, it's better to keep a pet in their own home whenever possible. Which is where I come in! I'm currently WFH so my schedule is flexible at the moment. [WALKS] I'm able to give walks in my service area from roughly 9am to 6pm. I can comfortably take up to 3 small dogs at a time, or two medium sized dogs. I'm open to walking large breeds (Labrador sized or bigger) if they are solo. If you have mixed sizes, please reach out and we'll talk about it. [HOME SITS] If your pet needs medication or walks either very early or very late, I recommend booking an overnight. I'm the farthest thing from a party animal and will guaranteed be indoors with your pet from 8pm to 7am. During the day, I will most likely be working (home office space a huge plus!) or stepping out for a few hours to run personal errands. If I have late night plans for any reason, I will clear it with you ahead of time. Will provide at least one update per day during my visit, including photos. We can also go over emergency plans and vet contact info during the meet-up.

“Lindsey was fantastic with my 1 year old pup. My dog has a lot of energy and is very clingy and Lindsey showed so much concern and care for his well being. She took him on a ton of walks, played with him a bunch, and kept me updated throughout. I really appreciate how thorough and caring she is! She made sure to send me photos and videos, and kept me updated on his walks, how he slept, and his little quirks. My dog was so comfortable around her and was calm and tired upon me returning, so I can tell that Lindsey took exceptional care of him. I would recommend Lindsey wholeheartedly!”

Danielle R.

“Ryan is amazing with our dogs! We can see it in the pictures he sends us with them how comfortable they are with him, and know we can always trust him to take great care of them. We had a bit of a last minute issue pop up with a different dog sitter, and Ryan was able to really come through and help out too. We are super grateful to him and can’t recommend him enough!”

Ariel G.

“Gabriana was amazing. Our pets took to her so quickly, including our highly anxious dog! She’s a pet whisperer. We also returned to a clean and organized house. Highly recommend her!”

Marielena R.

“My cat didn't bat an eyelash when I came home--a sure sign that she didn't miss me at all, which is a good thing! And the place looked good, too!”

Lisa H.

“Lauren is incredibly responsive, thoughtful, and easy going. I felt completely comfortable having her housesit with my 15 year old pup. She didn’t bat an eye dealing with my pup’s care issues, which was so great because I was anxious about leaving her with someone in her old age. I would definitely book again!”

Jeremy C.

“Lee kept in consistent communication throughout our trip and the dogs were totally relaxed and happy when we returned. It was a great experience!”

Grace D.

“Colette was fantastic, friendly and very communicative. She responded quickly and sent me updates and pictures which we always appreciate. We would definitely book her again.”

Ryan B.

“Brenna stepped in for me in an urgency and was the utmost friendly, communicative and wonderful caretaker for my two pups - one big and one small. I would hire Brenna again (and plan to!) in a heartbeat. She is the best and a fantastic doggie caretaker.”

Jennifer B.

“Jessica was a hero as usual! She's watched Nessie for us a few times now and she always goes above and beyond. She's reliable, communicative, and SO good with our girl (who has some medical and behavioral issues that need special attention). Couldn't recommend her highly enough!”
