“Katherine helped us with a long term trip!!! She was very attentive and kept us up to date with regular updates. She was attentive to any behavior changes and administered oral medicine with ease. My cats warmed up to her quickly!!! Amazing sitter overall!!”

About: Experience with a variety of dogs from small to large and young to senior. I love them all! I’ll make sure they’ll get their steps in. I’m currently a student so I’ll have time available during the week to give your pets their needed walks and play time during the day. I have experience with my 8 year old Labrador as well as experience pet sitting my family members 5 dogs. I love providing them a safe and fun experience.
About: I’ve been a dog handler at the wags club for 3 years now working with all breeds, size, and temperament. During my time there I’ve learned a lot about dogs, basic body language, and how to keep them safe and happy. Please feel to reach out about my availability! I’m currently working full time at a doggy daycare from 7am-4pm. After my shift I’m completely free with not much to do & it’d be a pleasure to continue being around dogs that bring so much joy into my life as well as theirs. I don’t have dogs of my own because the place that I stay at doesn’t allow dogs unfortunately so taking care of your pup and ensuring their well being and safety definitely makes up for it. If they’re is anything that your pup needs to make him or her feel comfortable while your away I will be more than glad to accommodate your pups needs. My priority is to make sure your pup is safe and supervised at all times while your away from home.
“Aileen was not only prompt and diligent in taking care of my two kitties, she was also very kind and straightforward w me as it was my first time using a sitter on Rover. She came over for a meet up and was efficient in asking the right questions and taking care of the few things needed to keep the kitties happy. There was some confusion as to what to do with the key so she came back an extra day and made sure the kitties were okay when dealing with my key. I couldn’t recommend her more!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life - both young and old. I also have experience working with both cat and dog rescues and fostering. Most of my experience is with sporting dogs and toy dogs, so my expertise runs the gamut! I currently have a 5lbs senior Maltese named Minnie who is with me when I pet sit. She mostly keeps to herself but gets along with all animals. I live in a house with a backyard and am available most days for sitting at my home - or drop ins or walking in the Lawndale/Torrance/Hawthorne/Gardena area. I will take care of your pet in my home as long as you need. I am good with puppies, senior dogs, giving medication, basic health care and also certified in pet first aid. At my house I have a lovely grassy yard and spacious backyard for the dogs to play in a comfortable environment for your pet. I am happy to give a tour of my home prior to your booking - so you can see inside and out.
About: I’m new to Rover, but I bring years of experience and a heart full of love for our furry friends. I’m a lifelong animal lover with a colorful heart and a calm, patient spirit. I share my home with five rescued cats, so I know firsthand the joy—and occasional chaos!—that comes with caring for animals of all kinds. I’ve worked with multiple dogs at once and have a special place in my heart for shy, reactive, or even aggressive pups. I take the time to build trust at their pace, always with gentleness and respect. I love getting down on the floor to connect, observe, and honor each animal’s unique personality. I’m also trained and confident in administering medications, including injections, and I always prioritize your pet’s comfort and safety. Whether it’s a sunny stroll or quiet bonding time, I bring attentiveness, empathy, and a whole lot of love to every visit. As an independent designer, I have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate quality time to pet care throughout the day. I love balancing my creative work with time spent walking, playing, or simply being present with furry friends—it’s the most rewarding part of my routine. This flexibility means I can easily adapt to different pet needs, last-minute bookings, or specific time requests. In my home, I have a safe and cozy “catil” (cat patio) where my five rescue cats can enjoy fresh air, sunshine, and freedom. They have access to come and go through secure doors whenever they like. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I always start by checking harnesses, leashes, and collars to ensure safety. I give each furry friend the time and space they need to feel comfortable with me, moving at their pace to build trust and connection. My approach is calm, respectful, and centered on their comfort.
About: Since I could work, I have been the go to animal sitter from Portland to Los Angeles. I have had a wide array of furry (and scale-y!) clients! With over 10 years of experience, I have stayed in over 30 homes and visited even more individual pets. I love making friends with your “little guys” and have had many repeat customers, big and small! I am a work from home writer so I am the perfect fit for your frequent outdoor breaks and house sitting needs! If we are scheduled my attention will be with your pet for a majority of the day and through the nights! I have been known to homes cleaner than you left it! I love to stick to your pets schedule and accommodate when your pet misses you most. Great for clients and pets with anxiety!
About: I have been taking care of my own animals since I got my first cat when I was 3 years old. I have also adopted many animals over the years. I am Broadway actor and performer. I was injured on my most recent job and am now looking for suplemental work while I seek treatment. I have plenty for free time while I rest and recover so this is the perfect time to pet sit your baby! I would love to meet your fur baby and get to know their needs. I know how difficult it is to be away from my babies so trust in your sitter is very important.
“We are so pleased with the care Haley provided for Lacey and Lulu! She spent quality time with the pups in addition to feeding and cleaning up after them. She sent some great photos and we could see how comfortable Lacey and Lulu were with Haley. We will definitely use her again!”

“Joyce has truly been a god send. We were hesitant about finding someone to care for our “Covid” fur babies who were not used to any outsiders. But, Joyce has been welcomed with open paws ;) She is wonderful and so responsive! Always sends us pictures and updates us after each visit! Thank you Joyce!”

About: After 2 years of pet sitting , I truly now know what it takes to be a dog sitter! Im naturally Patient & polite , but I was professional taught how to be caring for pets such as learning about their different moods, illnesses, diet, and importance of their safety ! I am an real estate student & soon to be bachelor degree student of psychology, so right now pet sitting is part time until I graduate . I always make sure to play with them to keep them company especially with their favorite toys . I also like to make sure I keep a close eye on them! Dogs can get into stuff fairly quickly lol

About: I have over 10 years of experience providing personalized care for a variety of pets, including dogs and cats. My clients have praised my reliability and dedication, ensuring that their pets are happy and well-cared-for while they are away.

I can’t take your pet to my home but I with pleasure will walk your pet or provide pet sitting at your place, overnight as well.
About: Hi, I’m Lindsey– Your Pup’s New Best Friend! 🐾 With years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and energy levels, I provide loving, reliable, and attentive pet and home care while you’re away. Whether it’s a playful puppy who needs lots of exercise, a senior dog needing gentle companionship, or a household that just needs keeping in order, I treat every home and pet as if they were my own. I offer: 🐶 Daily walks and exercise 🛏️ Overnight stays and house sitting 💊 Medication administration 💌 Lots of love, cuddles, and updates while you’re away! I know how important it is to feel confident your dog and home are in good hands. I’m respectful, communicative, and always keep your pet’s comfort and routine top of mind. Let’s connect and see if I’m the right fit for your furry family member! I work in Torrance Wednesday- Sunday for about 4-6 hours, which means I will be away. I also try and do a 1 hour yoga class. Other than that, I have a lot of free time to share my love with the animals. Generally, it changes from client to client as far as what they want for their babies. If the dog is allowed to sleep in the bed with me- I prefer it. However, if it’s not allowed- I don’t break the rules. I try and keep them as close as I can on their normal schedules.
