“Zoey took excellent care of my two cats! She was a good communicator throughout, which I appreciated too. She clearly loves animals! I highly recommend her! :)”

About: I don't have official Rover experience yet, but I'm a full time dog mom to my doodle, Jaxie, and before him, our beloved Roscoe, a pitbull we lost last year. I've also taken care of their cousins, Boomer (Australian Shepherd) and Jazzie (Husky/German mix), a handful of times. Different breeds, different energy levels, so I'm used to adjusting to each dog's personality and needs. I treat every pup like my own, lots of attention, patience, and love! I'm available for drop-ins and walks Monday through Sunday! Weekdays are a bit tighter since I work full time until 4pm and I'm home by 5:30, but I'm ready to play with your pups right after that. Weekends are when I have the MOST availability, pretty much all day, so those tend to be the easiest to book! I only offer walking and drop-ins for now. Safety means secure leashes, checking doors and gates, and staying alert on every visit so your pup is safe!

About: I grew up with both dogs and cats and have looked after animals my whole life. I stick closely to each pet's existing routine, same feeding times, same walk schedule, same little habits, because consistency is what keeps pets calm when their owner is away. I check in on mood and behavior throughout each visit so I can flag anything unusual right away. I currently dedicate my time to caregiving and have a flexible daily schedule. I'm out for a two hour class most mornings, but my wife also works from home and can step in during that time, so your pet is never without someone there. Outside of that, I'm home the rest of the day and can adjust freely to whatever timing works best for your pet's routine. Your pet's safety and comfort come first, always. I follow feeding, walk, and medication instructions exactly as given, and I keep a close eye on behavior throughout each visit so I can catch anything unusual early. I keep things calm and consistent, since that's what helps most pets relax when their owner isn't around.

“Heaven was right on time, respectful, kind, and communicative. She was wonderful with my senior cat and handled a long list of medication and care instructions with such grace. I really appreciated her visit and look forward to having her care for my cat again.”

“Jennifer was so great with my puppy Millie. She sent a lot of photos throughout the drop in visit. I would definitely have her look after my dog again!”

About: I’ve always loved animals and understand how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pet in someone else’s care. I’m responsible, patient, and attentive to each pet’s individual personality and needs. I’m happy to provide walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, and plenty of love and attention. I know every pet is different, so I take the time to follow their routine and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you know how your furry friend is doing while you’re away. I work part-time about 30 hours a week, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability during the daytime. I’m able to fit pet care into my routine through morning, midday, and afternoon visits, and I’m especially available for walks, drop-ins, and cat care. I’m reliable about planning my schedule in advance so I can give each pet the attention and care they need. I always prioritize a pet’s safety, comfort, and routine. In a client’s home, I follow their instructions carefully and keep their pet’s environment clean, secure, and familiar. I make sure doors and gates are properly closed, provide fresh water, follow feeding and medication instructions, and give pets plenty of attention and supervision. I also respect each pet’s individual personality and boundaries, allowing them to feel comfortable and relaxed while I’m caring for them.

About: Hello : ) I am a stay at home parent (with school aged children) looking to help provide trusted pet care. I have a great deal of experience caring for animals. I grew up raising baby birds and caring for many a variety of animals (including many different breeds of cats and dogs). In addition to my own, I was hired to watch other family's animals, starting around age 8 (alongside my mom) and then independently around age 11. I love how different animal's personalities can be and think they bring so much joy to our busy lives! I understand how challenging it can be with busy lives/careers, to find trusted pet care. Now that my kiddos are in school, I have some flexibility and would love to help provide others with kind and reliable pet care during busy work weeks. I am looking forward to meeting and caring for your little buddies! : ) I am a stay at home parent so AM - afternoon is very flexible. Depending on requests I can make time later afternoons and evenings and weekends as well but primarily very flexible from 7-2pm I will come to your home and offer a kind hello, playtime and walk and make sure any other details you ask for are attended to.

“She’s truly the best. Attentive, diligent, thoughtful and extremely responsive. Happy to go far and above to make your pets happy. She’s truly an angel!”

About: Before college, I had 2 dogs and a cat. One of the dogs was solely my responsibility aside from dealing with vet issues. Overall, I love making new pet friends, am fit and enjoy exercising with them, and am very adaptable to whatever you may need help with. I’m about to start a job working 35 hours a week on September 28th. At that point my only consistent availability will be Sunday and m-s after 6pm. Until then my availability is wide open! I will not be able to take your pets to my apartment because it would violate my lease. If I could, I would’ve just gotten my own pet.

About: I grew up with various types of pets including dogs, cats, rabbits, various reptiles, and birds! I am an avid animal lover and activist and enjoy meeting new furry friends. I am the type to stop what I'm doing to meet new animals out in public. I am a university student currently with only one class per day over 4 days, I will have lots of time to make sure your loved ones are safe and happy! I always make sure to be careful when opening doors as to not let animals into areas they arent supposed to be in or accidentally getting out when they shouldn't be. I am well aware of plenty of hiding places for critters to go and can intuitively find them. I am also always careful where I walk in case your buddy likes to get underfoot!

“He was very kind and thorough with my cat. He paid close attention to all the details and asked questions. I really appreciated how careful and precise he was. Great communication and very punctual. Thank you!”

About: Hello. I’m Karina, and caring for animals has been a central part of my life for many years. In addition to caring for dogs and cats, I have extensive experience working with horses, including high-performance equine athletes. That background has taught me to be calm, observant, consistent, and attentive to each animal’s individual personality and needs. I understand that every pet is different. Some want an energetic walk, while others simply need a consistent routine, patience, and companionship. My priority is making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for with me. I specialize in reliable weekday lunchtime dog walks and drop-in visits in the Encino area, making me a great fit for busy professionals who want consistent, dependable care. I also offer cat drop-in visits and limited boarding for dogs that are friendly with my own well-socialized dog and cat. You’ll receive updates and photos during every visit so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family! Pet care is something I intentionally build into my weekly routine. I provide consistent weekday lunchtime walks and drop-in visits, making me a great fit for busy professionals who want dependable care while they’re at work. My schedule also allows me to offer weekend boarding and pet care by arrangement. I enjoy having a routine that lets me give each pet my full attention and provide reliable, consistent care. Boarding dogs stay in my home as part of the family, with plenty of attention, exercise, and a consistent routine. I have a secure balcony and easy access to a large grassy area for potty breaks and fresh air. Depending on each dog’s personality and energy level, we can enjoy walks in my quiet condo complex or explore the dog-friendly neighborhood nearby. I only accept dogs that are a good fit for my home and my own friendly, well-socialized dog, so everyone stays safe, relaxed, and happy. My goal is to provide a calm, comfortable environment where your dog feels at home while you’re away. With your permission, I’m also happy to take well-trained dogs on special outings, such as nature trails or to the horse facilities where I spend time, for additional exercise and enrichment when appropriate.

“I have 3 cats, all older and all on some form of at least one medication. Erika handles them without a problem. She's flexible with time and arrives promptly for their twice a day visits. It's a relief knowing I can rely on her when I need to travel. Best of all, the cats are not traumatized and I'm not subjected to cattitude when I return. Thank you Erika!”

About: I’ve had dogs- and other animals- since I was 5 years old, and caring for them has always been a big part of my life. I’ve also looked after many other dogs over the years, so I’m comfortable with different breeds and personalities. I treat every pet like my own, giving them attention, care, and a safe, loving environment. I’m experienced with both energetic puppies and senior dogs who need a gentler approach. Pet care fits easily into my routine, and I make sure to prioritize the time and attention each pet needs. I’m available on weekends, Mondays, and Tuesdays, as well as Wednesday through Friday afternoons and evenings. I’m flexible and reliable, making it easy to accommodate walks, drop-ins, or extended care based on your pet’s schedule. I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort in every environment. Whether in my home or yours, I follow your pet’s routine closely to keep things consistent and stress-free. I always ensure a clean, secure space, keep a close eye on pets during walks and playtime, and give them plenty of attention and care. I’m respectful of your home and communication is important to me.

About: As a certified professional dog trainer, I bring more than pet care to every visit—I bring behavior expertise. Since 2015, I’ve worked with dogs of all ages, breeds, and temperaments, from energetic puppies to sensitive rescue dogs. Whether your dog needs a structured walk, help building good manners, or simply compassionate care, I focus on creating positive experiences that build trust, confidence, and lasting skills. Dogs are at the center of my daily life. My schedule is built around training sessions, walks, enrichment activities, and pet care visits. Because working with dogs is my profession, I’m able to provide reliable, attentive care and make each pet’s physical and emotional well-being a priority. In clients’ homes, I maintain respect as a center point of my services. Whether we’re doing a walk, training session or drop-in, my goal is to respect your space and help your pup(s) feel comfortable and secure. Walks, play, enrichment, training reinforcement, feeding, medication administration (if needed), and plenty of affection and positive reinforcement are all part of my approach.

“Vincent took wonderful care of my older chihuahua when I had to travel. I’m super nervous about leaving my dog, but felt comfortable with Vincent right away. My doggo liked him right away too! Vincent was a great communicator and took really great photos during walks - which was awesome. Highly recommend.”

“Patty is amazing and communicates very well. Luke and Leia (cats) enjoyed her company when she dropped in. I will for sure rebook her whenever I travel and she has an opening in her schedule”

About: I have been a pet sitter to several families for several years now. I have had pets my entire life, so I have experienced caring for pets at all stages of their lives. I also worked at Stray Rescue of St. Louis as a caregiver, so I am professionally trained in handling and caring for all sizes and temperaments of animals. I definitely love animals, and I love hanging out with them while their family is away to keep them entertained and comfortable. I understand that leaving your pet in the care of someone else can be unsettling and worrisome. My job is to make sure that your pets are safe and happy while you are away, and I am very good at my job.
