“I booked Ana to take care of my cat while I was away and it was my first time using Rover. She was very communicative, the meet and greet went well, and my cat totally trusted her off the bat. She paid close attention to detail while following my pets regular routine and my pet felt right at home while I was away. Would definitely trust Ana to take care of my cat again, she was great!”
“Jackeline took great care of my babies! She always kept me updated and went above and beyond for them. She did their dishes and even left them additional treats. Highly recommend!”
“Mario made sure he found a way to have my kittens fed when they didnt like a new flavor of wet food. I appreciate that he kept trying until they ate something and was communicating. Also he always cleans up their litter box which is so helpful.”
About: I have experience caring for cats and dogs of different breeds and walking dogs of all sizes. I love spending time outdoors and making sure pets get the exercise, attention, and care they need. Having owned an energetic American Bully, I know how important regular activity, attention, and patience are for dogs. I currently work as a grooming assistant, which has given me even more hands-on experience with animals of different breeds, sizes, and personalities. I’m patient, reliable, and attentive to each pet’s individual personality. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, walks, grooming care, or cuddles, I treat every pet like family and always follow your instructions to keep them happy, healthy, and comfortable. I have a flexible schedule to care for pets. I can combine my work with pet care — just message me to check my availability for the day you need. When I care for pets at the client's home, I follow all instructions to keep pets safe and happy. I also clean up after them and keep their space tidy.

“Yvonne was a true gem and I’m so grateful for her care while I was out of town. When your cat immediately feels safe in a sitter’s presence, that is no greater peace of mind! Also, my cat was clearly calm and happy when I got home, a true testament to Yvonne’s accountability and ability to connect with animals. I’ll absolutely rebook with Yvonne in the future and would highly recommend her services!”
“10/10!! If I could leave more stars I would!! Maizy went above and beyond for my sweet boy and made sure he was loved and cared for while I was away:) She truly cares about animals and always goes the extra mile to make sure even senior babies or those with anxiety are at ease. Plus she’s the sweetest!! Book with her! you won’t be disappointed!!”
About: As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust. I have experience caring for both a cat and a small dog, so I’m comfortable with different personalities, routines, and care needs. I’m patient, reliable, and attentive to details, making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I treat every pet like my own and provide regular updates with photos and messages so you can feel confident they’re in good hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide regular walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and lots of attention. I prioritize keeping pets on their normal routine so they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always follow the owner’s instructions carefully. I provide a clean, safe, and calm environment, make sure pets have fresh water, regular meals, exercise, and plenty of affection. I pay close attention to their behavior and comfort and keep owners updated with messages and photos for peace of mind.
About: I've spent my whole life caring for a wide range of dogs. From newborn puppies to older babies who need meds! I have experience with it all! I also have a dog that I trained so have basic training skills! In addition, I love all breeds (as long as they love my chill dog lol) I'm home everyday of the week so have ample time to care for your fur babies pets. I am able to be very flexible with their needs! I love animals more than people. They are welcome on all my furniture and even encouraged. I also have 1 very friendly, very chill dog who would love to be your dogs newest friend!
“Iana was great with my cat and great communicator. She was also very respectful of my home. Would recommend to others with cats and I’d be happy to have her watch my kitty again :)”
About: I’ve been working in pet care for about five years now, with the last several years full-time here in the San Fernando Valley. I have experience with a wide range of animals, but I primarily focus on dogs, especially when it comes to behavior, structure, and training. I spent about four years working at a local dog rescue, where I gained hands-on experience with anxious, reactive, and senior dogs, as well as dogs with medical needs. I’m comfortable administering medications, including oral meds and injections like insulin, and I’m very attentive when it comes to health and behavior changes. In addition to general care, I’ve worked alongside trainers and developed a more structured approach to handling dogs. I really enjoy helping dogs build better habits, whether that’s basic obedience, leash manners, or just creating a calmer, more balanced routine. I especially enjoy working with puppies and dogs that need a little extra guidance. I offer a variety of services including walks, drop-ins, day care, overnight stays, and boarding. I do this full-time, so I’m very flexible and can usually accommodate different schedules and needs. At home, I have two dogs and two cats who are all friendly and have helped me foster and care for other animals over the years. Because I live in a smaller space, I typically only take one client’s pet at a time to make sure they’re comfortable and get my full attention. Overall, I’m patient, calm, and very in tune with the dogs I work with. I genuinely enjoy building trust with both pets and their owners, and I take a lot of pride in providing reliable, thoughtful care. Pet care is my full-time job, so my schedule is built entirely around the animals I’m working with. I’m out every day doing walks, drop-ins, and sittings throughout the San Fernando Valley. Because of that, I’m very flexible with timing and can often accommodate different schedules or last-minute needs. If you reach out, there’s a good chance I’m already in the area and can make something work. live in a pet-friendly apartment and keep a structured, calm environment for the animals in my care. My routine includes a balance of exercise, play, rest, and downtime so dogs don’t get overstimulated. Pets go out multiple times a day for potty breaks and walks. I also incorporate mental stimulation and light training into the day when appropriate. I do use crates as part of a safe and structured routine, especially when I’m away or during rest periods, but dogs are never left for long stretches and are given plenty of attention and activity throughout the day. My goal is to create a safe, predictable environment where pets can relax and feel secure.
About: Since I was a child, I cared for many animals and pets on my family's farm, and in the last 15 years in LA, I've had my own pets and all my neighbors and friends come to me for pet care while they are out of town! I work as a part-time plant science consultant, I am a mom of a 10-year old human and an 11-year old doggy, I have a flexible schedule and love to be active, so pet care fits in nicely! I have a secure and fenced in back yard and many comfortable spaces for dogs all around the house. Cats are not a good fit in our home, unfortunately.
About: Hi, I’m Sofia—I’m currently working from home as a graphic designer. I’m a life-long dog owner with years of experience caring for pets of all ages and personalities. I’m patient, reliable, and great with shy or cautious animals. I’ll make sure your furry (or feathered!) friend feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Bonus—I’m also an illustrator, so let me know and I can draw your pet as a little keepsake! I’m currently working part-time and remotely so I have a flexible schedule to be there for your pets! I’m happy to accommodate and discuss how I can be of service. I follow your home’s rules and your pet’s care instructions closely to make sure they feel safe and you feel confident. I always double-check gates, locks, and am extra careful when opening doors. I keep a close eye on curious noses and paws—whether that means keeping terriers out of the trash or making sure no one snacks on mystery items during walks. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities!
“Minerva was very kind from our first conversation. She was prompt in her communication, was always flexible when I needed to change some times around, and always responded to any of my concerns with understanding and solutions. My cats loved her. They both were relaxed and felt very comfortable with her. I felt so relieved seeing the pictures she provided everyday for me of my cats and of their food and water. Made being away from them on vacation stress free for me. I will definitely be booking Minerva again. She was so pleasant and helpful. Thank you so much Minerva!”
About: Lifelong pet parent to dogs, cats, fish, birds and hamsters. I also petsit for all my friends and love working with the big two (dogs and cats). I also have 3 years of volunteering experience with the Pasadena Humane Society, where I worked with socializing dogs. I work remotely and have a very flexible schedule. I am available almost any day for walks, feedings, check-ins and overnight boards. I am available most times of day/night as well. No matter which pet I take care of, I act and treat them as if they were my own. Pets can feel vulnerable without their parents and I do my best to ease anxiety for an easier visit.

Kaitlin is the best sitter we could have ever asked for. She’s kind, considerate, thoughtful, thorough, and sent plenty of intentional photos and descriptions while we were gone! She’s the absolute best and we would be so lucky to work with her in the future.
Marina did a wonderful job! She was very friendly, easy to work with, and kept me updated the entire time. If I ever leave on another vacation, I'll make sure to see if she's available. If you have cats and want to make sure they're well looked after, please consider doing the same!!
Katherine was great at being on time and doing everything she was supposed to for my cat Arya - wet food, topping off fountain and refilling spare water bowl, cleaning litter box and taking a photo of Arya. She was communicative and let me know if there was anything wrong and brought in my Amazon package! She left great notes after each visit. Will book again in the future!
Bethany is a caring and thoughtful person. She watched our cat for 8 days (longest we’ve ever been away from our cat) and she took the best pictures and made sure our cat was happy and had company. I can’t recommend Bethany enough, she loves animals and is extremely reliable.
Minerva did such a fantastic job. I was a little worried since we needed her to care for a lot of pets with different foods, but she handled it all gracefully. She was also very accommodating to the times we needed her to come. If you’re looking for a pet sitter who is detail oriented and trustworthy, your search can end here! Thank you Minerva!
Haley once again took amazing care of our girls! My husband and I feel incredibly fortunate that we found such a kind and caring sitter in Haley. The girls love her and even our older cat (who can be pretty aloof/distant with others outside of our family) has enjoyed playing with her. Do not hesitate in hiring Haley--she's a gem!
Emily is fantastic! She completed her drop ins at the time scheduled and sent lots of pictures. You could tell my cats were super happy with having her there. Even my super scaredy-cat warmed up to her while I was away my schedule is just all over the place and she was so accommodating to last-minute changes as well which I really appreciate.
This was my first time using Rover and she made it the best experience possible she went above and beyond and communication she was on time she sent pictures. She had cute commentary and honestly, our animals loved her. I can't wait for her to watch them again as she cared so much for my animals and I can't thank her enough for giving us the peace of mind while we were out of town
Erika is an absolutely wonderful cat sitter. She is so patient and has a very calming presence. My cat usually ignores strangers and refuses to play with them, but took to her right away and loved playing with her! She is deeply caring and I felt so comfortable leaving my cat in her hands. Highly recommend!

This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.

Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.
