About: Ever since I was was about 13, I've always been the person to call if someone was going out of down and they needed someone to watch their dogs. I've been able to properly care for 7 dogs at most at a time. I love dogs and will do my very best to make sure they are well taken care of. I love being outside, so I am more than willing to go outside with your dog whenever they need or want to. Making sure your dog gets as much love (if not more than) as you give them is a big priority for me. I've taken care of breeds from Chihuahuas to Saint Bernards. You can trust in me to be the best sitter for your dog.

“Mry has been very sweet and patient with my pup Nalu! It’s our very first time searching for a walking buddy and my little one is shy around new people. Communication with Mry is wonderful and we’ve achieved progress together these last few days! I feel safe and happy leaving my pup in her care. We’re looking forward to many more walks together :) Thank you Mry!!”

“In the most basic terms, Kyle is amazing. He was able to pick up the task of walking my dog once a day for two weeks, and was willing to be flexible with our schedule. He was patient and understanding with my elderly mother who forgot he was coming and left the house before he arrived. I cannot mention enough how great he is.”

About: With over eight years of hands-on pet care experience, I don’t just “watch” animals — I build real bonds with them. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality, routines, quirks, and comforts so they feel safe, seen, and genuinely loved. Every animal in my care is treated as if they were my own, with patience, protection, and affection at the center of everything I do. Their happiness, trust, and tail wags are truly the greatest reward. I am a freelance professional makeup artist working part time, so I have plenty of free time to care for your furry friends and felines! When I care for your pets in your home, I treat the entire space with the same respect and attention I give your animals. I follow their routines closely, provide loving companionship, and make sure they feel safe, calm, and comfortable in their familiar environment. While I am there taking care of your pets, I am also taking care of your home — keeping a clean, safe, and mess-free space for your animal to relax in. You can return to a happy pet and a well-maintained home.

“I just moved to LA this past month. I am beyond happy I met Zoey! She has been a total hero to me during this stressful time. A weight has been lifted knowing that my two pups are in such trustful hands! My dogs are VERY high energy and Zoey knows how to handle them. She really goes the extra mile (pun intended). Forever grateful to her! I cannot recommend her enough :)”

About: First time clients please enjoy $20 off your first booking! https://www.rover.com/sit/chanwl43421 As a full-time clinical psychologist working from home, I’m able to spend plenty of quality time with the dogs I care for. Your pup won’t be left alone or bored. I’m here throughout the day for companionship, playtime, and attentive supervision. What makes our home extra special is that my lovely and caring spouse also works from home. This means your dog will always have someone around, receiving attention, love, and care from both of us. There’s never a moment where they’ll be left out or overlooked. I have hands-on experience with rescue dogs, and I’ve personally adopted and trained one myself. This experience, combined with my professional background in behavioral psychology, allows me to understand dogs’ needs on a deeper level from anxiety and attachment to motivation and habit-building. We always welcome a meet & greet before booking. There’s a large, quiet park right by our home where we can meet in a neutral setting, talk through your dog’s needs and routine, and make sure everyone feels comfortable. Feel free to reach out and schedule one! Above all, your dog’s safety is my number one priority. Rover provides strong safety guidelines, and I’ve already had positive experiences using Rover’s tools to handle unexpected situations with calm and flexibility. You can trust that your pup will be in capable and loving hands. I work from home on weekdays, which gives me the flexibility to provide care throughout the day. I’m generally available at most times during the week, and with a little notice, I can usually accommodate weekend requests as well. I focus on creating a calm, safe, and personalized environment for every dog in my care whether it's for daycare or home boarding. I take time to understand each pup’s unique needs, follow their routines closely, and provide lots of love and attention to help them feel at home. Whether your dog stays at my home or I care for them in yours, I focus on creating a calm, safe, and loving environment. I follow your dog's routine closely and always keep safety top of mind whether it's leash rules on walks, feeding instructions, or respecting boundaries around other pets. In my home, pets have plenty of space to relax and play. I never leave dogs unattended, and I provide regular check-ins and updates so you can feel confident your pup is in good hands.

“Bryanna has been great with our dog Buster and takes lots of pictures and even videos during her visits. She is good at communicating and responds to messages quickly. She's dependable and shows up when she says she will and we are really happy to have found her. She brings her dog to play with Buster and it's been a great arrangement for Buster to have a friend and more socialization. She was willing to just come herself to take Buster on his walk if they didn't get along. We hope Bryanna continues to be available to visit Buster.”

“I know dogs can’t speak, but Brooke is so kind and loving with her. She spent the last 10 minutes of her time with Dottie on the floor loving her, when she so didn’t need to. Absolutely love Brooke.”

About: I had dogs and cats growing up, and was the exclusive dog walker for the family. I enjoyed being the one who was active with the dog on walks and to get out energy when needed. Dog walking is more than just getting your dog outside. It's about making sure they feel safe, cared for, exercised, and happy while you’re away. I currently have multiple cats and love playing and cuddling with them on a daily basis. Each cat has a unique personality, so I can adapt to their mood at any given time. What sets me apart from pet sitters is the attention I give to each pet's individual needs, personality, and routine. I am reliable, patient, a good communicator, and make every interaction a positive experience, so both you and your pet (no matter how big or small) feel comfortable and confident. I look forward to caring for your pets! I have a flexible schedule throughout the week and weekend. I can be available for drop-ins as needed. Please reach out with any pet needs! I make sure to provide plenty of food and water, clean litter boxes on a daily basis and give lots of play and cuddle time. Each pet is unique, so happy to adjust as needed.

About: As a passionate and reliable pet sitter, I absolutely love caring for animals of all kinds, with a special soft spot for senior pets and playful kittens. I make sure to follow your care instructions and create a personalized routine to keep your furry friend happy and comfortable while you’re away. Having rescued many pets over the years, I understand how important your pet’s well-being is. That's why I started pet sitting — to help busy pet owners like you while providing the same love and care I give my very own pets. My fur babies and I enjoy daily walks, lots of playtime, and outings around Lake Balboa where Iv'e called home for over 20 years! Plus, I’ve taken courses in Dog CPR and First Aid to ensure your pet is in safe hands. Let’s set up a meet and greet soon — I can’t wait to get to know you and your beloved pet! I’m excited to be your pet sitter! Working from home allows me the flexibility to give your furry friends all the love and attention they deserve. I prioritize sticking to your pets' routines so they can relax, have fun, and feel completely at home with me. I can’t wait to meet your adorable fur babies! I want you to know that I'm fully committed to following your instructions during my stay. Ensuring the safety and health of your pets is my top priority. You can be confident that I will take exceptional care of both your pets and your home while you’re away.

About: I started as a Rover pet owner for services and now have the freedom to provide those services. I am patient and careful when caring for dogs because I know they are someone’s family and dog’s have the sweetest hearts. When I first moved to LA in 2018, I overcame my fear of dogs and lived with the sweetest pitbull, JoJo. Now, I have two of my own small dogs— they are my world. My schedule is very flexible. I am currently not working and have plenty free time (until my next opportunity begins). I prefer to stay busy so hopefully this will increase productivity. I am protective of my dogs and would ensure your dog’s compatibility with mine before walking them together or sitting in my home. Otherwise, I’m happy to care for your’s solo during walks or drop-in visits. My dogs are **flea-free** and healthy. My yard is very safe and I have a **FUN SPLASH PAD OUTDOORS** for them to play in during hot weather. I imagine many dog parents on this app care for their fur babies as much as I do, and I will be incredibly mindful of your needs / requests.

About: I treat my dogs like my kids and I’ll treat yours the same way! I have two senior chihuahuas, Baby and Goldie (both 4 lbs), who are sweet and used to being around other dogs. Because of them, I specialize in caring for small dogs and really understand that they need extra attention, patience, and a gentle touch. I’m especially experienced with senior pups, including accidents and giving that extra bit of care. I keep a calm, safe environment and always make sure every dog feels comfortable and cared for. I know how important it is to feel at ease leaving your pet with someone, so I’m happy to send updates and pictures as often as you’d like. Good communication is really important to me. I want you to feel totally comfortable while your pet is with me. I work from home so my schedule is flexible! I am constantly going on walks throughout the day. It’s important that my dogs don’t get bored. I live in a one bedroom apartment. My apartment is super dog friendly and has an elevator. I live on a quiet culdesac perfect for walking the dogs throughout the day. I’m also near Balboa park and go on walks there with my dogs!
