About: I walked and played with my friends dogs and took care of my sister’s cat since I was a kid. But she left in Russia. I would adopt one but my apartment complex don’t allow pets. I’m a housewife and have a bunch of time. My son is in a 1st grade in elementary school. I can walk with your pets by myself or with him together. I can visit your pets in your home and feed your pets, change the toilet or additional services upon your requests. Just let me know.

“Mry is very sweet , caring ,professional and thorough.. She is prompt and personable, and my 3 kitties. Casper, Jacob and Cosmo all loved her !!! Thank you Mry!! You are awesome!! Will definitely go with Mry again! She is Top Notch!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was a kid and have experience with everything from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need extra patience and support. My own dog, Bella, is 13 with special needs, so I understand how important compassionate, attentive care is. I follow routines closely, give lots of love, and create a calm, safe environment for every pet. My schedule is wide open, and I’m home throughout the week, so your pup will get plenty of love and attention. Pet care is a natural part of my day—I enjoy being present, going on gentle walks, and keeping a calm, comforting environment for every furry friend who visits. I provide a calm, safe environment that’s especially great for senior or special-needs pups. I’m gentle, patient, and very mindful of each dog’s comfort level. My own dog, Bella, is a quiet 13-year-old who keeps to herself, so your pet will still get all the attention they need without feeling overwhelmed. I’m happy to follow any instructions, use a stroller or sling if needed, and make sure your fur baby feels cared for and secure.
“Emma was amazing with my cat Acorn this past week. She sent picture/video updates and I can tell Acorn was very comfortable. I would definitely recommend her to anyone in the Sherman Oaks area!”

“Brooke is thoughtful, conscientious and punctual. She was kind to my senior dog and eager to learn how best to help her maneuver her bathroom trips. I've already requested her for another date.”
“Erika is amazing with my pets! I totally recommend her, every time I go away I can feel at ease because I know that they'll be happy and safe when I'm back. She's truly great!”
About: Hii! I’m Crystal, lifelong pet lover here! with 16 years of hands-on experience. I've had many, many pets growing up lol I haven't ‘not’ had a pet. I'm currently a student and I find that being around animals is one of the top things that bring me joy after a stressful day. So, a little info about my sitting, I offer fun walks, basic training, daily updates, and genuine, reliable care for all pets :) As a student, my schedule varies. I’m free 24/7 on weekends. I'm also open to communicating about specific times to accommodate! (since my weekday schedule varies) I follow your pet’s routine closely, providing love, playtime, and exercise. I keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel connected while you’re away, ensure your home stays clean and tidy, give baths when needed and respect your space while caring for your furbaby. <3
“Daniela is fantastic. She took such great care of our kitties. We have 3 cats, all with different foods and needs, and she handled it perfectly. Highly recommend Daniela”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities for over 8 years. From playful puppies to seniors needing extra patience, I know how to adapt to each pet’s unique needs. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me for walking, feeding, bathing, and overnight care. I treat every pet like my own, with love, safety, and consistency always being my top priorities. I’m currently not working, which means I have full-time availability to dedicate to caring for your pets. I’m home throughout the day and can easily adjust to your pet’s routine whether that means morning walks, afternoon playtime, or cozy evening cuddles. Your pet will always have attention, care, and companionship My home has a secure fenced yard and one friendly dog for companionship, but I also make sure each pet feels safe and comfortable. I can crate your dog if needed, supervise outdoor play, and follow any specific instructions you provide. Every pet in my care is treated like family with love, patience, and lots of playtime.
“We feel so lucky we found such kind wonderful people!! Our pups immediately fell in love with them, even our shy girl. Prerana and Aubrey go above and beyond with our kiddos, we’re so grateful knowing they’re being well loved and taken care of every time!”
“So happy Tiffany helped us out last minute. My doggies had such a good time with her, enjoying their walk and cuddle time. She took great care of them and would be happy to book her again.”
About: For about eight years, I have taken care of my friends’ pets and done housesitting whenever they are out of town for work. I also grew up with dogs in the household so I’m familiar with being around pets and how to take care of them. I’ve cared for two of my friend’s dogs, one of them whose name is Misty ever since she was a puppy. I’ve also taken care of another close friend’s cat named Beatrice for 5 years. During my time with each of them, I’ve gotten the chance to experience housesitting, feeding, and taking them out on walks. They have all taught me patience and also how much dogs/cats need attention. I'm detail oriented making sure everything requested for the cat/dog’s needs are met. I always love watching movies or playing with any of them at their home, taking them for walks around the neighborhood, going on short jogs sometimes when we are out, as well as playing and hanging out at the park. I travel a lot for work so most of the week I’m out of town. But there are some weeks where I'm not traveling so I'm able to fit a drop in or dog walking session. I love cuddles, watching movies, and going on walks when I spend my time with pets. I make sure they get the attention and care they need at my client’s home :)
About: 1. I don’t just like pets, I’ve cared for them since age 13. German Shepherds are intelligent, protective, and high-maintenance, consequently I’m capable with any breed (from large/strong to small/fragile). 2. Living with cats whole my life. 4. I am a notary public and loan signing agent, therefore I’m fingerprinted, background-checked every year since 2019, and trusted with legal documents daily. I’m currently working 10 AM-1PM hybrid (usually from home, but not always) on weekdays and afternoons, therefore I’m available to assist morning/evenings/nights. I can always do morning chores (feeding, cleaning, walking, playing) or stay for a night/weekend. I know that your pet is like a child to you and would never want it to experience unpleasant or unsafe experiences. I understand animals body language and care with patience. I’m strongly against any cruelty or violence!
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 10 years old, so I have years of experience in providing compassionate, reliable care for pets of all ages and sizes. I take great pride in making sure dogs feel loved and comfortable, whether it’s through daily walks, playtime, or ensuring they follow their regular routines. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and happy, and I treat every dog like they're my own. If you’re looking for someone who is not only dependable but also genuinely loves dogs, I’d love the opportunity to help with your pet care needs. I'm currently working remote with lots of flexibility in my schedule so have plenty of time to play with your pups! Also If you're planning a get away let me know I'm happy to accommodate your preferred dates/schedule. Very comfortable following your fur baby's regular routine so they feel safe, happy, and keep their preferred schedule/rule guidance for optimal health. Pets sense that I'm an animal lover that initiates trust.
“Patty was awesome!!!! So attentive to my babies and sent a ton of photos as well! Very communicative and sweet, on time and reliable. My kitties loved her. I came home to a very clean house. I would absolutely 1000% book her services again! Thank you Patty!!!!”
About: I’ve taken care of many animals throughout my life including birds, cats, and dogs. I have experience with senior dog care and rescue dog care. I understand that each pet requires their own level of attention and care and I will always be open to specific requests to meet their needs if they are senior. I grew up owning large dogs so I am able to walk your furry friend no matter what size they are. I am currently a sitter for a senior cat who needs extra cuddles and attention when his parents travel for work. I love running with high energy dogs and I will take my time with any nervous or calm dog. I am currently working part time so I would love to spend part of my day with your pet. I am available on weekends as well. I will always put your pets safety first. When visiting your pet I will be sure your door/ gate is closed after my visit. I will make sure pets water source is clean and filled before leaving your home. When walking your pet, I am extra vigilant.

Encino pet parents share their Rover experiences
As usual Kate was the absolute best. She goes above and beyond to make sure Riley is well looked after, even alerting me to the fact that the automatic feeder may be malfunctioning and staying nearby in case we needed the help. We'll be happy to continue hiring her to take care of our little guy!!
My cat, Olive can be a little rough with new people but Ashley handled her with care and administered her oral antibiotic beautifully. She communicated well before the visit and provided me with updates. Olive even rolled over for her which is pretty much the biggest compliment she can give. It’s clear to me that Ashley really loves and cares for animals. Ashley also took the care to bring in a package and left a light on for Olive which was very much appreciated. I will be hiring Ashley again very soon!
This is our second time using Yuliia and we had another great experience!! Our kitties love her (including our shy one) and she bonds with them as her own. I love the updates and pictures we receive and I can tell she really cares for animals. We will be using her for our future trips!!
Kimberly was so good taking care of my Marni. She feed her just like we asked because Marni is very allergic to a lot of things. I seen on the cameras how sweet she treated Marni. Also and most importantly Marni loved her. This was our first time using this app and she made the experience using this app pleasant.
Simran was absolutely amazing with my kitties! She was reliable, communicative, and went above and beyond to ensure my pets were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I received updates and photos which gave me peace of mind while I was away. Highly recommend Simran to anyone looking for a trustworthy, kind, and attentive pet sitter. I'll definitely be booking with her again.
Vanessa was great! She came over a few days before our trip to meet our two cats and see where everything is. She sent us photos and gave them some loving which was great to see. She did everything we asked and we came home to a clean kitty environment. Very professional and sweet. Would totally book again!
