“Elaine offered the perfect dog day care for our boy! She sent photos throughout the day of Loki meeting and playing with new friends, meal time and rest time. She sent a report card at the end of the day so we knew how the day was for him. We will definitely bring him again for those long days when we aren’t able to be home with him!”
“Hiromi Is simply amazing, great communication, updates throughout the day and more importantly she really attentive and loving to our dog. It was our first time leaving Kobe with a sitter and when we went to pick him up he wanted to stay with Hiromi. We will back soon!!!!”
“Narumi regularly updated me with pictures and videos of my dog, showing how well he was doing. She gave my dog careful attention and truly understood her needs. It was wonderful having her take care of my dog. Thank you so much! 😊”

About: Pets love me and I love them! I rescued my most recent Covid baby who was left on the streets in LA in 2021. My friends and family all have dogs and cats, so I am always around a fur baby or two. More than happy to watch yours as well! I am a full time pet care taker and happy to help take care of your pet. I’m flexible with times and accommodations. I normally walk my pup in the morning for 2 miles and less than a mile in the afternoon. I enjoy staying busy and active so adding your loved to my day would bring us both so much joy. During walks ensuring safety for all pups in the area is crucial for a successful walk. When in doubt I will cross the street or walk on the other side of parked cars to avoid any motives or altercations of pups towards my own.
“Ivonne is very sweet and friendly. She is good with high energy dogs as my Boston definitely keeps people on their toes. I recieved great pictures throughout the day. I highly recommend her!”
About: I have taken care of a variety of animals since I was a young kid and have had a dog virtually my entire life, sometimes a few dogs at once and many cats too. I have been a fish, dog, and cat parent for about thirty years or more of my adult life and ongoing. Recently completed a twelve-week obedience training course with our German Shepherd. Plenty of work to do. We also have done pet sitting for friends, as they have also done for us over the many years. We have cared for many a senior dog or cat, as they have been ours. We have always had and cared for animals through their entire life cycle. Before Rover dog care and dog walking of other peoples pets, aside from friends pets was not something we had done as a business, but taking care of animals, especially dogs is an activity I have been doing my entire life, every day. We walk our own dog a couple of times daily. I have owned and cared for many dogs. I currently own a two year old White German Shepherd, which is very socialized. He is a silly one. I have some experience in training, in as much as myself and my GSD went through twelve weeks of obedience classes through PetSmart to help get him setup for success. My primary business is in IT. I work from home almost every day. I have an independent IT consulting company, working for myself since 2003, to date. A very flexible schedule. However, the business has been slow and I am looking for something to supplement my income. Another IT job would likely be treated as a conflict, and I already do that work anyway. This type of gig seems perfect, flexible schedule and doing something I have always wanted to do. Right now, I have the time. We will discuss shifts; I may be good to help during a variety of times. I love dogs, all animals really. We are very willing to sit for some dogs in our own home or stop in to check on, walk and feed them, etc. I have a neighbor that does the same thing as a “side hustle” (for Rover) and they love it. When I am out walking my dog, I often run into them walking their dog tenants that they are sitting while owners are away. I have lived in the Southbay since 1988 and love it here. I live in a two-story house on the edge of old Torrance and Harbor City. I look forward to our future contact and making some new furry friends. Thanks so much for your consideration. I have a fenced yard and one dog, a white German Shepherd that is still enjoying late stage puppy hood :-) at two years old. Loves his toys, well socialized and really loves playing with other dogs. He is good company for another dog and someday soon we may be getting another, so he always has a friend. Right now we have just one. We also have one Maine Coon cat (16yr), that generally stays out of site around new dogs. Our one cat has been living with dogs most of his life. We will create separation of animals if it is necessary. If you provide it and it is needed, we will crate your dog, otherwise we are happy to let them always be part of the home while staying with us. The home is safe and secure with plenty of space inside and outside. We are in an enclosed subdivision with safe residential streets for walks. We have dedicated space where our dog and cat eat separately, we can also set up feeding so your pet can eat alone if necessary. We can adjust access to food, so nobody (including our dog) has any issues. Dog walking is done regularly for our GSD and we are happy to take your pet along to explore the neighborhood.

“Ashley watched my staffy while I was at work a few times a week. My dog often came home tired and ready for a nap. Ashley was flexible with schedule and was up early every morning to receive her. I recommend her!”
“Amazing sitter!! Shaun and her family are super sweet and everytime I’ve left Roux with them they treat him as their own! They send updates, pictures and videos throughout the day which I truly enjoy! We’ve used them twice already and will continue to use their services!!”
About: I have professional caring experience for senior dogs with extensive medical needs for over 4 years. I helped support the dogs owner through this unfortunate process till the end. It was a very sad experience and I miss little Winnie everyday, but I am so happy and proud to know that I assisted in making her last years comfortable, memorable, safe, and happy. Through this process I would schedule and escort vet visits, distribute a multitude of oral medications, and provide consistent quality care. My father recently got a rescue dog who surprised us with her pregnancy, I successfully assisted with the caring of all 10 pups from birth to about 4 months old and loved every second! I have pets myself, 1 adult dog and 1 cat. Both get along very well and are playful with other animals as we have friends visit for play dates from time to time. I currently work from home and am able to schedule my day to my needs so I can give your fur baby all the love and attention they need. I live in an apartment and am fortunate to live less than a 5 minutes distance from multiple trails, dog parks, and parks. I always take my own dog out for exercise multiple times a day as she loves to stretch her legs. I also have a balcony with a dog bed on it so the pets do love to go sun bathe from time to time.
“Ms. Melissa is the absolute best. She made me feel at ease while caring for my pup. She was in communication throughout his stay with her & just amazing to my pup. Thanks Ms. Melissa!”
“Manisha was amazing. Very clear and open communication and kept me updated throughout the day and sent pics and vids! She was knowledgeable about my pups needs and was attentive to them! Would definitely book her again!”
“This was first time leaving our pup day care using Rober. Sonish is excellent and very communicative. He made us feel very comfortable. We received updates with pictures and video. He is truly dog lover and made my dog feel comfortable and welcomed. Thank you so much for caring my pup!”
About: My mom and I had a loveable and adorable black pomeranian. I helped with potty training him from when he was a puppy. I thought him tricks, walked him, helped give him his medicine, groomed him, feed him & gave him water, and mostly loved him. Dogs are great company and are so loveable. I helped my ex with his tea cup yorkie. I feed him, gave him water, bathed him, cleaned up his pee pee pad, helped with giving him his medicine and I enjoyed his company very much. Dogs are not only our pets but a member of our families and can be at times like our little one. I miss laying down with my dog and my ex's dog also. Currently, right now I'm looking for a full-time or part-time job. So at the time being I have plenty of time to play, walk, feed & be your fur baby. I am available to board him/or her on the weekdays & weekends. I would always take out your pup with his/her harness or leash. I stay in a quiet neighborhood and I will always make sure he/she has food & water as well love.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life—caring for them has always been a natural part of my day-to-day. I’ve helped raise and train puppies, and when I lived with my parents, we always had dogs in the house. Until last summer, I lived with my lovable golden doodle, Theo. Dogs are truly family to me, and I treat every pup with the same love and care. My wife and I both work from home, which gives us the flexibility to care for dogs throughout the day, whether it's playtime, potty breaks, walks, or snuggles. On weekends, we often head to parks or go camping, and we're happy to bring your pup along for the adventure if you're comfortable with that. We’re flexible and happy to work with your schedule and your dog’s needs. We provide a safe, loving environment in a single house with a fenced backyard for play and potty breaks. Our neighborhood is very dog-friendly, and many of our neighbors have dogs, so your pup will have the chance to socialize (only if they’re comfortable, of course). Walks are done right outside our home in a safe, quiet area. Our daughter has grown up with dogs and knows how to be gentle and kind with them. Your dog will be treated like family, with plenty of attention, exercise, and care.

“Si-mon Greene is an excellent and truly loving pet caregiver. She’s professional, hard working and most importantly listens when we’re discussing the needs of the pets. She’s cared for my pug, Tinkerbell for a number of years and what’s great is her animals are so chill so when Tink goes to stay with Si-mon she’s super happy to be around Dutches and Cheech(Si-mons pets). She even taught me a few ways to help with my Tinks anxiety. I’ve know SI-mon for 5 years now and she’s also looked after my older cat Peppa is an older cat and Si-mon is so good at connecting with animals i knew Peppa would be fine to stay for a few weeks. Over the years I’ve lost count of the animals Si-mom has cared for and she has been there till the end for a few of them. I can’t recommend enough Si-mon she really will light up your pets life with that extra love and attention.”

Hiromi was great at sending updates and pictures to let us know our puppy was being well taken care of. You could tell she had a lot of fun. She gave our puppy many potty breaks and I’m sure our puppy enjoyed her time outside playing with Hiromi. It’s easy to see why she has so many raving reviews and recommendations. I would definitely book with her again ☺️
Luis is such a nice guy! He has a nice home and is very welcoming. He took good care of our little maltipoo Marley. Sent updates and pictures while me and my husband were at Disneyland. Marley was very clean when we picked him up too. We will definitely use Luis again for sure!
Ashley was a total win. From the moment she showed up, everything got easier. No weird energy, no fuss—just straight-up calm, capable dog vibes. My mom liked her immediately (which never happens), and I could tell she actually got dogs, not just tolerated them. She picked up on all the Piper-and-Squishy nonsense without needing a novel. Like, yes—Squishy has armpit preferences. And yes—she will scream at you if you ignore them. Ashley clocked it, adapted, and kept it moving. That’s rare. She was chill, responsive, reliable, and totally unfazed by my chaotic messages. Exactly what we needed. Highly recommend. PS. Love love loooved all the pics of our babies cuddled up like VIPs—living large and loving life. THANK YOU, ASHLEY!!! 🌟🐾💖
Claire watched our two big dogs for a day of camp while we hosted a party at the house. She was punctual, communicative, sent photos, and as an added bonus she took the initiative to brush and comb our dogs. They came back to us in better shape than when we dropped them off! Highly recommend Claire’s services and we will book again.
