About: I’ve regularly cared for cats, dogs, babies, toddlers, kids, etc. for nearly a decade now. I grew up with cats and dogs, but since moving to LA I don’t have my own pets and would love to help care for yours! I generally work 9-5 but am remote Mondays and Fridays and can be flexible. I live on the west side and do drive but I primarily walk and bike in my day to day! I prioritize maintaining a clean environment, ensuring that animals get adequate exercise and outdoor time. I care about helping pets maintain a healthy diet and a well-regulated nervous system.
“Kendyl was absolutely amazing. Hands down the best sitter I’ve ever had. Super communicative and my cat adored her. Highly recommend her services and will surely be booking her again!”
About: I offer one-on-one attention: no rushing, no multitasking, just your pet. If your pet is a pup/kitten, senior or any age in between, your loved one will receive the utmost care, patience, gentleness and consistency. From our very first meet and greet, I focus on learning your pet's specific routine, quirks, and comfort cues, so that by the time a booking starts, they're not just "watched," they're understood. Every visit, whether it's a quick drop-in or an extended stay, your pet gets the same undivided attention. My love for animals started young, growing up in a house full of pets — dogs, cats, ducks, chickens, and fish — which taught me early on that every creature has its own personality and needs. A couple of notes: I currently care for dogs up to 40lbs, and I require a meet and greet before every booking, no exceptions — it's how I make sure your pet feels safe with me from day one. Ask for VIP services include mail and delivery package pickups, coordinating pet care directly with live in house manager, etc. Fully fluent in English and Spanish. Service areas include Greater Los Angeles, UCLA area, DTLA, Beverly Hills, Brentwood, Bel-Air, Malibu, Thousand Oaks, Camarillo, and Ventura. I’m semi-retired and have a flexible schedule. To walk, sit or take care of a pet as well as I take care of mine would be a joy. I often pet sit friends’ pets when they travel on vacation or business. I’m go-to person to take care of pets while friends and family are out of town, busy at work, or they need to take pets to vet appointments. I also walk, sit and sometimes stay overnight with them. During 25+ years of doing so no one has had a complain about my care or how I handled their pets.
“Heather was fantastic!! On-time every time, great with my cat who seemed to have a lot of fun with her, and very communicative with potential issues. Won't hesitate to book her again in the future, and I recommend you do the same!”
“Kristin was great. We really appreciate how thorough she was at our meet and greet. Our family enjoyed her message updates and pictures. Our boys were well loved while we were gone.”
About: I currently have three dogs, a golden retriver, a dachshund mix, and a golden retriver german shepard mixed puppy. I have grown up around dogs and many kinds of animals. Since I was young I have taken care of my dogs, I walk, feed, and clean them. Additionally, I know how to handle a difficult dog becuase my recently deceased lab mix had some behavioral issues which I think is important because not all dogs are easy to walk. I'm currently a college student home for the summer. I'm essentially a sitting duck right now, meaning my schedule is wide open. I can come in the morning, night, or afternoon. I make sure to walk my dogs at least once a day but I try to make it twice a day. I feed and weight my dogs food before giving it to them, and make sure to feed them at the same time everyday. I am very good with dogs and respectful of peoples homes and make sure to keep my own home clean while having three dogs.
“Such a great experience. I knew reading the bio I wanted to book Belle. She was prompt, efficient, and communication was seamless from start to finish. Everything felt easy and handled with care. I really appreciated how smooth the whole process was and my dogs were happy and well cared for. Would absolutely book again.”
About: Years with my own dog taught me that dogs have a few universal talents: finding the muddiest puddle, convincing you they haven’t eaten in days five minutes after dinner, and making every walk an adventure. Volunteering at a shelter reminded me that behind all those funny moments is something even more important—every dog wants to feel safe, understood, and loved. I’ve become pretty fluent in “dog language.” 🐶 That’s why I take the time to get to know each dog’s personality and earn their trust. I think it’s the best part of spending time with them. My skills: * Understanding dog behavior and body language * Building trust with dogs of different personalities * Patient and gentle handling * Caring for dogs of different ages and temperaments * Following detailed care instructions * Providing companionship, play, and attention My schedule allows me to dedicate plenty of time to walks, playtime, and giving each dog the individual attention they need. I understand that dogs feel happiest and most comfortable when they can keep their familiar routine. I do my best to create a calm, safe, and consistent environment that feels as close to home as possible while their family is away. I work full-time, seven days a week, so I’m available to provide reliable and consistent care for your pets whenever you need it. Before caring for your pet, I like to learn the little details that make them unique — their favorite activities, walking habits, how they communicate, and what helps them feel comfortable. During each walk, visit, or house sitting stay, I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy your time away knowing how your furry friend is doing. My goal is simple: for your dog to feel like they’re spending time with someone they trust!
About: I've always loved being around animals and have spent the last 8+ years caring for pets for friends, family, and neighbors. I've cared for dogs and cats of all ages and personalities, and I also have experience with exotic pets, including a snake and a Sphynx cat. I know every pet has their own routine, so I take the time to learn what makes them feel comfortable and happy. Whether it's going on walks, sticking to feeding schedules, giving medication, or just spending quality time with them, I'll care for your pets like they're my own. I also love sending photo updates so you can relax knowing they're in good hands. I work remotely, so I’m able to provide pets with plenty of attention, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. My schedule is flexible, making it easy to accommodate walks, feedings, medication, and your pet’s normal routine. Whether it’s a quick drop-in, overnight stay, or extended care, I’m happy to work around what keeps your pet happiest and most comfortable. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I have a fully fenced yard for supervised outdoor play, and I keep a calm, clean, pet-friendly home. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, and exotic pets including snakes and a Sphynx cat, so I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions and adapting to each pet’s unique needs. I treat every animal like they’re my own and always keep owners updated.

“Cynthia was wonderful! She was friendly, professional, and very communicative throughout my holiday trip. I really appreciated the regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. She even went above and beyond by bringing my packages inside for safekeeping. I’d happily book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable sitter.”
“Taylor did a great job and was very good at communicating with me during her drop in visits. She was also very thoughtful of my home and I appreciated it. She went the extra miles of wiping Chico’s paws when they were full of mud after being out on the grass. She was very understanding of my dogs behaviors too and made me feel relieved while Chico was in her care!”
“Aurelie was our first Rover experience and she was amazing! 2 animals to check on. She was always on time when she said she would be there. Communicated well. Shared photos. Had both of them out playing with her, animals can read good characters and when the cat immediately warmed up to her we knew she was the right fit. Will be rebooking for future trips. :) thanks Aurelie”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Fernwood
Oh my gosh. I cannot recommend Fallon enough. She was just SUCH a blessing to have. I haven’t used Rover in a long time because of a past experience but Fallon is the real deal! Exactly what you’d hope for from a pet sitter. She goes ABOVE and beyond with her care and communication. I truly feel like I can’t leave my babies with anyone else anymore. We have tortoises, flowers, and 4 cats. One of them is super skiddish and she extended so much empathy to him until he warmed up to her. And she nailed it all! The biggest of thank yous from my family to Fallon! We will definitely be seeing her again as my cats already miss her! 🥰

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
