“Jessica was wonderful with Rowan 🤍 Communicative, reliable, and very sweet with him. I felt totally at ease knowing he was in such good hands. Would absolutely book with her again!”
“Ariane was very responsible and took great care of our senior dog. She communicated often, reply to messages quickly, and provided detailed updates and pictures of our dog. She was also very flexible and understanding when our plans changed a bit. She was great and we would certainly hired her again. Thanks for everything!”
About: I bring over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for animals of all ages, breeds, and personalities, from rambunctious puppies to gentle seniors and blind dogs who need a little extra patience and care. I’ve had 7 dogs, 5 cats, a horse, rabbits, hamsters, and even a rat over the years, so I’m well-versed in all kinds of animal quirks, needs, and love languages. I have a calm, intuitive way with animals - the kind of energy that helps anxious pets feel safe and confident. I’m experienced in administering medications, supporting dogs with chronic or multiple medical conditions, and tailoring routines to keep them comfortable and happy. Whether it’s crate training a new puppy, giving meds on a strict schedule, or providing gentle companionship to a senior dog who just wants company, I meet each pet exactly where they are. I treat every animal like my own - with patience, love, and genuine care. Pet care fits naturally into my lifestyle. As a freelance creative working mostly from home, I have a flexible schedule that lets me be fully present with pets. Walks, playtime, feeding, and snuggles are part of my daily rhythm, and I structure my work around their needs to provide consistent attention and care throughout the day. I provide attentive, reliable care whether in my home or a client’s home. This includes feeding on schedule, administering medications if needed, providing walks, playtime, and companionship, and ensuring a safe, comfortable environment. I tailor care to each pet’s personality and routine.
About: Experienced pet owner (3 dogs, 3 cats, currently own 1 dog) and dog fosterer between 2016-2018 for multiple organizations! I recently had a stray dog take shelter on my patio, likely not a coincidence, and after a week of coaxing managed to bring her inside my home with crate training (my dog Petunia was a great companion) and get her into rescue! See 3rd photo! I truly love animals and have experience with all sizes, energy levels and even fear based aggression. I administer meds to my dog daily and am extremely specific when it comes to my own dog's care, so I know what it means to be a client with high expectations! I love getting to know and develop bonds with animals and it has always been natural to me. Depending on your dog, my dog Petunia can cohabitate with yours or yours with mine. I have a flexible remote schedule, with more availability on Fridays and Saturdays. Afternoons and evenings during the week work very well for me! I consider any Rover service a delightful respite where I can disconnect amd focus on your pet! I am likely unable to host your pet in my home, but its a possibility, and I will quite happily visit yours! I am very good about making a calm entrance and getting to know each pet "on their level".
“Minay has been absolutely amazing to both our cats, Miso and Kiki, taking care of them while we were gone for the holidays. This is our first time using her service and it definitely won’t be the last!”
“Minh was awesome and I will absolutely be booking her again! Ahead of the house visit she did a meet and greet with Rey and she asked very thoughtful questions. Her thoroughness put my helicopter mom brain at ease. She was prompt, sent pics and was an excellent communicator. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats my whole life. I love taking long walks around the city so having a furry companion with me is a great bonus, and for the older sleepier pets I am happy to spend a night sitting with them and am experienced in administering oral medications. I always make sure to take lots of great photos of your pets while I’m caring for them. I’m currently working freelance so I have lots of flexibility in my schedule. Happy to pet sit any day of the week or check in on pets throughout the day. Though always please check my calendar for updated availability. I can’t take care of pets at my place because I share my house but I’m happy to take care of your dogs at your house, having done it for years with my own animals and others. Whether your dog is playful and energetic or chill and cuddly I am ready to meet them where they are at. Of course I will make sure they are fed, watered, and have any medication they may need.
“Brendon was great with our puppy. The updates had cute pictures and always included a nice note about his visit. He was always on time and was a wonderful with our dog.”
About: Have taken care of dogs of all types since I was a kid! Neighbors, family and friends have all entrusted me - And I love doing it! I recently left an all consuming corporate job to figure out what I’d like to do next. Right now, I have plenty of time on my hands to show your beloved pets a wonderful holiday away from home! I live in a stand alone, quite tucked away, home. I have a backyard for quick plays but also live in a great neighborhood for lots of walks! The park is also a short walking distance for really having a good time!!
About: Hello! I grew up with dogs, have had my own dogs, and just love animals all around. I had to put my pup down recently and really miss that regular fur baby interaction. I would love to hang with your doggie and give them snuggles while you’re not around :) I am an interior designer and I work mainly from home. I have ample free time during most days for a lovely neighborhood walk or babysit with your pupper. I can do whatever is your preference really. I’m happy to hang with your doggo for a bit inside your home and also walk them!
About: As an owner of a big, powerful dog I know it can be difficult finding a walker who can handle their size and avoid unsafe situations. So if you have a large breed friend who requires a strong leader, I’d love to take them for a walk, safely! Freelance film maker with a lot of free time. I’m available during the week and on weekends. I have a dog but would walk your dog(s) separately. I have a large friendly dog named Rudi. I can board your dog as long as they can meet beforehand to make sure they get along. I have a large fenced in back yard as well as a good size, private porch area. We live in echo park with plenty of dog friendly areas and parks.
“Midori is an angel. She kept us so informed throughout our entire trip, and our cat Keeks warmed up to her quickly! We came home to a spotless house and a happy healthy boy. Thank you!! ❤️”
“I can’t say enough good things about Sabrina! She truly went above and beyond for my pups and made me feel like I could relax on my vacation knowing they were in such good hands. I highly recommend her!”
“Such an amazing dog watcher/sitter. She literally complemented my pets and took the best photos of them. She’s literally so amazing and just the sweetest ever my dog got really excited to see her and she took care of him with food, a long walk and love. Also she sent me photo/text updates every single time seriously could not have asked for a better person to watch my baby. Thank you Carley!!! I’ll be a repeat client for life!”
About: Experienced pet sitter and animal lover. I have grown up with dogs and have two loving cats now, I understand how hard it can be to make sure they are cared for when you are not available. I can be flexible with my rates depending on your situation. I love taking pictures so expect plenty of updates! I work from home and have a fairly flexible schedule. As long as I have a notice of any changes, additions, cancellations, I will likely not have an issue tending to any pets. Since I have cats of my own I do not plan on hosting other pets in my home. I would care for any clients pets by making sure that they are kept on a routine.
“I would highly recommend Hailey! She took very good care of my cat Taro. She was very reliable and sent a lot of very cute photos of dinner and playtime. I felt like he was in very good hands. Thank you Hailey!”
Echo Park pet parents share their Rover experiences
Stephanie was a delight to book! She went above and beyond in taking care of my cats for a whole week. She sent pictures of their meal and playtime and I could tell she put a lot of care into making sure they were happy. I came back to a clean, litter free home and two happy kitties.
Kenya was so great with our two cats!! Punctual, communicative, and with attention to detail. She even took the time to play with them which put our minds at ease about leaving them alone for the long weekend. We will definitely be booking her for future trips!!!
Gissell is a true gem! She is hard working, reliable, flexible, and a good communicator. Gissell has been caring for my 3 large-sized dogs for a while through easy times and hard times (e.g., when my senior dog was seriously ill, when I foolishly fostered 8 puppies). I couldn’t have asked for a more trustworthy, compassionate person to look after my family. Hire Gissell, and you won’t regret it!
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.
Kasumi was an absolutely fantastic cat sitter for our cat, Winnifred. From start to finish, her communication was excellent. She kept us updated with regular photos and detailed messages, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that Winnifred was receiving wonderful care and attention, and we always felt informed about how things were going. Kasumi is professional, reliable, and genuinely caring. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. Truly first-class service, and we would happily trust her with Winnifred again in the future. Highly recommended!
