“I’m so happy we found Ji Hae! She’s so communicative and followed all our instructions exactly. Shes experienced with caring for large dogs which was especially helpful for our two pups. It was so nice traveling and knowing she was taking care of our dogs and our home! Definitely will be reaching out again!”


“Wonderful experience with Hannah. From the start, she was communicative, keeping us updated on anything that came up and asking thoughtful questions to make sure our dogs stayed healthy and happy. It was clear Hannah genuinely cared—she made sure they got plenty of walks and exercise, and her regular updates gave us peace of mind while we were away. What stood out most was how well Hannah got to know their individual personalities. Her comments and observations showed she wasn’t just watching them, she was truly connecting with them. We came home to happy, well-cared-for dogs, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book Hannah again. Highly recommend!”


About: Cats and dogs have been a constant in my life. From pitbulls to labs, I've grown to love the variety of personalities that come with pet care. I have 3 years experience pet-sitting. I've cared for the pets of family and friends. I've sat and walked both small and large dogs, providing enrichement in clients homes, too. I'm currently the owner of two cats going on 8 years now! At home, I genuinely enjoy being able to take care of my own zoo of animals - rodents, reptiles, and aquatic pets too! I hope to share this love for animals by lending a helpful hand to other pet owners! I work part time; I receive my schedule on a week to week basis. So, my availability is flexible meaning I have lots of opportunities to fit into your care needs for your pets! I accommodate to each animals needs taking things like their home environment, temperament, and personality into consideration to best fit their needs and provide a comfortable care experience!
“Pearl stayed in my home and watched over my dog and cat. She was very communicative during the stay and sent me lots of photos and videos, which I appreciated. I would definitely ask Pearl to sit for me again.”

About: Hello! I’m Nicole, I grew up in Torrance and I have babysat and been a nanny for 25 years in the area. (References available upon request). However, I’ve been an animal lover since I was born. From a very young age I was rescuing birds, reptiles, any innocent creature that needed my help! I’ve rescued many different animals- wildlife, pets, marsupials, reptiles, rodents, a Shetland pony (no joke!), and many cats and dogs over the years! I’m located in Lomita with reliable transportation, patience, and flexibility. I’m adaptable when it comes to how you train or treat your dog- so if your pooch is a princess I can respect that, or if she has strict commands I promise to help reinforce them! I grew up with my Grandparent’s Alaskan Malamute who treated me like her own pup, I saved a feral black cat from my high school whom I spent 21 beautiful years with, and more recently I have two small poodle mixes. I have had just about every kind of pet you can imagine over the years. My current pups are fixed, and up to date on all vaccinations. “I have never met an animal in my entire life that I didn’t fall in love with.” ~ME I really look forward to getting to know your pet and helping with your routine! Thanks for your consideration! Message me for any questions at all. ~Nicole :)
“Bethany has quickly become my favorite sitter! It is obvious my furbabies feel safe and at home with her. She did a great job grooming the girls, and keeping our hope clean and organized. Even though I didn’t have the best reception, Bethany still continued to provide pictures and updates that warmed my heart. She’s the absolute best!”

“I returned to a happy healthy puppy. It was my first time leaving him so I was very worried but leaving him with Maddy in the comfort of our own home was so helpful. Maddy went above and beyond. I had a very long travel day in the morning I left. And when I booked she already had commitments until later in the evening which I was aware of. I thought it would be okay and just had my neighbor check on him later in the afternoon in the crate and he had had diarrhea while in his crate. I was so worried about him but Maddie was incredibly communicative cleaned up made sure he was comfy and taken care of and he did not have another accident for the rest of my trip.”

“Allen is an awesome dog sitter! We have two high energy doodles, one of whom is blind, and he took really good care of them while we were away. He sent plenty of pictures and videos which gave us peace of mind and when he left, they were standing at the guest bedroom door looking for him. We highly recommend Allen!”

“I’m a so happy we chose Ivy. She went over all our pet instructions and loved my fur babies . Ivy sent daily pictures and responded within minutes to any questions or concerns.. She went above and beyond taking care of my house in the process. I trust Ivy and look forward to another wonderful experience choosing Ivy. Thank you so much Ivy”

“JoAnne was soo good with my pets! I came back to these happy pets and a clean house ♥️. Awesome feeling! My pets were very comfortable with her.. my dog needed some extra care for his ear.. she took care of him very well! I will definitely use her again! Its so hard to find loving pet sitters.”

“This was the first time leaving our puppies since we adopted them at the end of April. We were nervous as they are still working on their social skills and adjusting after being thrown out of a car as puppies. Quiana was amazing though. We could tell when we met her that she knew how to work with them, letting Leo, the protective brother growl at her and ignoring him until he decided it was okay to let his guard down. Throughout our trip, Quiana sent updates including photos and videos of all our pets including our 18 year old cat. When she had to leave our puppies at an unplanned time to run back to her house and let her own dog out while her boyfriend was at work, she let us know - this was appreciated as we wouldn’t have known if she didn’t tell us. The transparency certainly helped gain our trust. She also took good care of our house and brought the mail and newspapers in without being asked! We’d highly recommend Quiana and will definitely be calling on her again in the future!”

“Velvet is amazing! I rescued a pup off the streets yesterday and had an important appointment this morning. I booked Velvet late in the evening the night before, and she shifted her schedule to help me last minute and was wonderful with communication. Even more importantly, Velvet made this sweet rescue boy (again, fresh off the streets) feel calm, comfortable, and she even got him to snuggle with her! If she's this much of an dog whisperer with a fearful stray boy, I can only imagine the incredible care a beloved pet would receive. Thank you so incredibly much, Velvet! I can't tell you how much I appreciate you!”
“Britney house sat for me with my 3 pets (1 dog & 2 cats) while I was away visiting family for 5 days. She was an incredible sitter & an A+ communicator! My pets fell in love with her within minutes of her meet-and-greet, & she sent many text updates & photos/videos throughout her stay, which made me feel connected with my pets & reassured me that they were having a good time. Since she has a dog & cat of her own at home, I knew I'd be leaving them in good hands. She was also really quick to respond to my original request, which was so appreciated since it was only 3 days before my trip & I was scrambling after my original sitter canceled. Her younger brother also stopped by occasionally (with my permission, of course) to keep the pets company while Britney was studying & they loved him too! When I got home, the place was clean & the sheets/towels she used were washed & folded. I really appreciate how thoughtful & loving she was. Would definitely book Britney again!”
About: Most of my pets have been dogs and some of them have been older than a year or two months old, currently open to learn more. Currently looking for a part-time and love dogs. I have been taking care of dogs since I was in elementary school and currently have one. I live in a small apartment and get to walk her around the city and usually walk her two times per day during the weekends
“Cloe saved my trip when my original sitter plans backed out days before. She’s super quick to respond and I felt really confident in her care for Odin in my home while I was away. My mind was at ease.”

“Sydney was absolutely incredible. She watched our dog, Cody, over Thanksgiving and we felt completely at ease with her staying in our home. She’s responsible, trustworthy, and genuinely knows what she’s doing with dogs. Her dog Riley stayed with Cody and the two of them became best friends—walking together, playing together, even napping side by side. Sydney handled their introduction perfectly and brought a doggie gate to make sure they were safely separated at first. Everything she did was thoughtful and professional. Cody is a German Shepherd/Pit Bull mix and Riley is a Golden Retriever, and they got along beautifully thanks to Sydney’s calm, experienced approach. We’re so grateful for her care and will 100% use her again in the future. Highly, highly recommend Sydney!”

I was not sure we could leave our pets for 15 nights! But then we met Cassandra and instantly felt good and comfortable about it. She spent so much time with our two dogs and cats, loved on them, fed, filled water bowls, walked the dogs, watered plants, vacuumed, wiped down, scooped litter boxes, picked up dog poop, etc. We are so grateful for all she did to keep everyone safe and well cared for! Thank you Cassandra!!

Britney was wonderful with my cat, definitely recommend! While away for 2 weeks, she was excellent with communication, sent pictures regularly and just a really nice person that I knew I could fully trust and count on. I came home to my cat happy and healthy. I'll always book with her if she's available!

Ivy took a good care of our dogs for 9 days including administering insulin shots to one of our senior dogs. All of our 3 dogs warmed up to Ivy right away because of her calm demeanor, and Abi, the young GSD, even got zoomies while we were away which tells us she was very comfortable with Ivy. Ivy is also a great communicator, flexible, and always punctual. Thank you Ivy!

Grace was absolutely amazing. As a first time rover user, she took away all the stress and worry I had leaving my boy alone for the first time. She was communicative, patient, sent daily updates and pictures, and overall was very kind and respectful of our space. We will be sure to use her again.

I would highly recommend Angie for any pet sitting needs! She cared for my elderly dog, Max (medication too!) while I was abroad and I didn’t have to worry at all about Max. She was great with sending updates and photos while she was watching him and I know he enjoyed his time with her. Highly recommend!

Absolutely amazing experience with Velvet! She took such great care of my two dogs and treated them like her own. I could tell they were happy, comfortable, and well looked after the entire time. Velvet was reliable, attentive, and kept me updated, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. My dogs absolutely loved her, and I truly appreciated how caring and responsible she was. I would 100% book with Velvet again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and loving to care for their pets!

You won’t regret it if you hire Allen. He is outstanding! Allen easily managed our furry beast. Chloe is a Chinese slaughterhouse rescue and has some serious trust issues but Allen quickly won her over and was giving her belly rubs in no time. He also took great care of our home, leaving it better than he found it! We are so pleased with Allen and will definitely hire him again!!

I’m so happy we found Ji Hae! She’s so communicative and followed all our instructions exactly. Shes experienced with caring for large dogs which was especially helpful for our two pups. It was so nice traveling and knowing she was taking care of our dogs and our home! Definitely will be reaching out again!

Taylor did an amazing job and I will 100% be bringing her back to babysit my cat Bella. She responds quickly, sent photos every day, kept my apartment clean, took out the trash, and even kept my little plant alive! It’s obvious she is a pet lover and had a great relationship and was so caring for my little kitty. She really brought me so much peace of mind while I was out of town!!
Wonderful experience with Hannah. From the start, she was communicative, keeping us updated on anything that came up and asking thoughtful questions to make sure our dogs stayed healthy and happy. It was clear Hannah genuinely cared—she made sure they got plenty of walks and exercise, and her regular updates gave us peace of mind while we were away. What stood out most was how well Hannah got to know their individual personalities. Her comments and observations showed she wasn’t just watching them, she was truly connecting with them. We came home to happy, well-cared-for dogs, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book Hannah again. Highly recommend!

Liana was fantastic with my 15 1/2 year old and 9 year old dogs. They both take medication twice a day and Bowie & Truffles warmed up to her which shows she really was beyond amazing 🤩 as Bowie does not easily bond with anyone. Constant updates and photos were a relief as I was so anxious as I don’t travel often. I felt her warmth the moment she came to visit for a meet & greet. I highly recommend Liana.
Chloe was wonderful. She was really helpful, especially with it being a last minute booking and holiday. She took great care of the animals and the house was left exactly how it was. She was very communicative, cooperative, and came to meet everyone without hassle. I highly recommend her!
