1. Katie W.
“Katie W. has completely won over the fickle hearts of our two dogs! It took just one visit for them to start greeting her excitedly. It’s been a lifesaver for when we can’t walk them or give them their dinner. Katie is awesome!”
2. Elaine L.
“Elaine was super friendly and communicative throughout the booking and drop in process. She provided excellent check in notes that included pictures and videos. By the end of her 2 visits, it seemed that our cat had really warmed up to her. We would definitely book with Elaine again!”

About: I’ve helped several people, such as friends and neighbors, with taking care of their baby and elderly pets! Especially when they first get them I know it can be a hassle. Regardless, every owner shouldn’t feel like they don’t have help when needed. If it’s cause of a work meeting or an urgent family member, I wanna be there right when needed to help take care of your furry friend and be the one you trust with them! At the moment I only work one job, once a week! So my schedule is fully open to throw you into it and take care of your furry friend and give them all the attention they need! Since I’ll be taking care of your pet in your home, I will be mindful of not only them, but also your environment. I want to respect the rules you have and make my only priority being your pet and that everything is how it was left in your house! Feeding, cleaning, playing, and taking care of them in any additional way will all be done in a proper well done manner so you don’t have to worry about anything, not even your furry friend!
4. Tessa S.
“Tessa stopped in to take care of our bunny while we were out of town. She went above and beyond to make him happy while we were away. She has immediately gained our confidence and trust and we couldn’t recommend her more! We look forward to having her take care of Fritzy again in the future!”
5. Jessica J.
“Jessica loves her dogs and the dogs that she comes into contact with. She's friendly, responsible, and punctual. Whether she's walking her dog (or other dogs), playing with her dog, or feeding her dog, she always does it with warmth and love.”
6. Pearl S.
“I recently had the pleasure of hiring Pearl to take care of my cat Maia while I was away, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From the moment we met, I could tell that she was a true animal lover. Her professionalism and genuine care for my fur baby were evident throughout her entire stay. One of the standout aspects of Pearl’s service was her proactive communication. During my first booking, she sent me daily updates and photos of my cat, which was incredibly reassuring. It was wonderful to see my shy cat starting to warm up to her, a testament to Pearl’s gentle and patient approach. During this most recent booking, Pearl helped coordinate with my house sitter to make sure Maia was fed and well loved when I was away. Normally, Maia is very reserved around new people, but she seemed comfortable and even happy in the photos I received. Moreover, Pearl was very respectful of my home. She left everything in perfect condition, just as I had left it. It's clear that she takes her responsibilities seriously and goes above and beyond to ensure both pets and owners are satisfied. I highly recommend Pearl to anyone in need of a reliable, caring, and attentive pet sitter. Her dedication and love for animals shine through in her work, and I will definitely be booking her services again in the future. Thank you, Pearl, for taking such wonderful care of Miss Maia!”
7. Fae A.
“fae cared for my dog sora for two weeks while i was out of country and gave them the most special comforting experience. they were incredibly sweet to him and always made sure to feed and walk them on time. but fae truly went above and beyond in making a personal effort to bond with sora as a friend, giving him all the attention he deserves! it was an easy choice to make them our go-to dogwalker and caregiver for sora and the rest of our friends' pets.”
8. Karin S.
“Very thorough and communicative ! Karin wants to make sure she does everything that is requested. On first visit Karin was patient with my shy pup and eased her into warming up to her ! Thank you for showing my pup love and cuddles- good to know she’s taken care of when I’m gone. Look forward to booking again !”
9. Brandi P.
“Brandi is a wonderful pet sitter! Highly recommend her. Daily reports & photos as well as the first class care our previous boy received gave us such piece of mind while away from home. Plants and house were in perfect order when we returned to our happy, healthy well cared for kitty. Thank you Brandi! ❤️”

About: I’ve absolutely adored animals since I was 4yrs old. I started getting educated on animals at a young age and knew my dream was to work with animals. I started my professional career in the industry in 2017. I worked at a dog daycare and boarding facility for a year, then moved on to a facility for dogs and cats, which I’ve worked at since 2018. Over the years at these facilities, I’ve learned about proper care, training and grooming techniques for dogs, and care for cats. I have plenty of experience working with different breeds of dogs from the smallest teacup poodle, to the chunkiest bulldog, to the biggest Great Dane. I’ve worked with many different breeds, sizes and personalities in large daycare groups, so I’ve learned how to manage different demeanors in different settings. With cats, I understand their boundaries and don’t like to force any interaction on them, but if they are comfortable with it I give them lots of love. I’ve also volunteered at a shelter for dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, and rodents. At the shelter, I focused on learning how to properly care for rodents and cats. *I don’t discriminate against any pet’s breed, size, age, medical condition, etc. I treat them all with the best care.* **I am able to dispense oral medication to pets if necessary. I AM NOT CERTIFIED TO GIVE INJECTION (NEEDLE INVOLVED) MEDICATION** I work in Gardena 2pm-8pm Mon-Fri, but typically am home or close by during most of the day and on weekends. I tend to stay local when running errands. My apartment is gated and a code or key is needed to enter the premises. We have a large grass area right out front, which is not gated. There’s plenty of grass and parks in the neighborhood to go to during walks. My apartment is on the second floor with the luxury of having the parking garage underneath me, so your pet running around the house won’t disturb anyone! I stay alert and aware of my surroundings at all times for safety purposes. I have multiple rooms and gates to separate pets when necessary (feeding, bedtime, rest breaks…etc.) My pets are flea treated regularly and stay up to date on their vaccines. **IMPORTANT NOTICE BELOW!!! In order to keep my home a healthy and clean environment for all, IF PETS ARRIVE WITH FLEAS I require a $50-$100 cleaning fee AND a flea bath may apply with a MINIMUM charge of $38/pet bathed. I HIGHLY recommend flea treatments and checking your pets for fleas BEFOREHAND to avoid additional charges. ADDITIONALLY, if your pet causes any damages to my property there will be a MINIMUM charge of $25 for repairs/replacements.**
11. Noelle C.
“Noelle looked after my dogs while I was out of town this past weekend, and she did a great job! She followed all the instructions I left, and also took the time to send me updates and photos. It is nice to have someone I can trust to look after my dogs with love and care as if they were her own.”
12. Sarah P.
“Sarah checks in on and walks my puppy while I am at work. I was nervous about leaving my puppy alone all day, but Sarah has made the process very smooth. She takes incredible care of my sometimes challenging puppy, and I come home to a happy dog every day. Sarah is great about sending pics and updates, and I would highly recommend her to take care of your fur babies.”
13. Perla C.
“Perla was absolutely wonderful with my Olive. She dedicated so much love and time with my little old lady, I felt completely at ease vs my usual anxiousness. She has found her calling, the love she provided and her communication skills give one peace of mind! Thank you Perla.”
14. Kiana D.
“Kiana is amazing with our dog Tito. She took him for two walks a day, played with him, fed him, and made sure he was well taken care of. We have been using Kiana for over 5 years and trust her in our home and with our fur baby.”

About: New to the app! I have been pet sitting several years for regular clients including 2 powerful giant huskies, a petite sweet chihuahua, and a slew of kitty cats. I know to allow pets their autonomy but also build good behavior with patience. I can administer oral and inhalant medication. Personally I have 3 happy and healthy pets- 🐶 a goofball mixed breed dog who thinks he’s a cat, 🐈 a fun and fabulous long haired big orange cat who I have to brush daily, and 🐈⬛ an asthmatic skittish tortie-tude little girl that needs everyone to be quiet and gentle around her. Their demeanor shows total trust and calm as my husband and I’ve always catered to their every need and treat them like true members of the family. I also regularly rescue, rehabilitate and rehome stray dogs and cats in the LA area. My work is primarily remote and can be done at self-assigned schedule so I have full flexibility for house sitting or drop ins. I have reliable transportation and the back of my car is outfitted with a hammock style partition to secure harnesses and carriers, so I can bring your pets to the park or appointments if necessary. I’m a 30 y/o professional in the entertainment industry and I’ve been pet sitting to supplement during this tumultuous time of hiatuses, layoffs and strikes, including house sitting for a few celebrities. In my regular job, I am responsible for the safety and well being of entire crews, locations and sensitive material so I can ensure your trust in my discretion and care for your home and pets. I have used rover personally for years as a client so I understand the need to feel secure about not only the most important creatures in your life, but also your personal property and privacy.

17. CHI-HUA T.
“Chihua is an animal lover and a great pet sitter. My partner and I have a French bulldog named Jojo. Chihua had helped us taking care of Jojo many times in the past when we have to leave town. He has provided great care for Jojo in the past and I feel safe leaving Jojo with him. We also have three cats. When my partner and I traveling out of the town, Chihua would always help us taking are of the cats. He would stop by our house to feed the cats and spend times playing with them.”
18. Lucila S.
About: I have been surrounded by pets since I was a child and have loved them ever since. I also used to volunteer at a non-profit organization for a year, training and taking care of dogs, old and young. I am working part time and studying online so I have a lot of free time to take care of dogs at the moment! My hours vary each week but I will stay in contact and make sure I’m available when it’s necessary. I have a fenced yard and a crate if it’s ever requested. I do not own any dogs currently but I do have cats that are dog friendly but usually stay inside anyways.
19. Yekaterina A.
“My dog Max and my cat Donny love Kate! My husband and I first met Kate about 10 years ago through a mutual friend. We needed help walking our late dog Charlie and Kate offered to help. She was very professional, always showed up on time and always gave us a full rundown of how the walks went. Kate now helps us with walking our dog Max and looking after our cat when we're out of town. She even alerted us to some unusual behavior she noticed in Max and recommended a vet visit which resulted in him getting diagnosed with a skin condition we otherwise didn't know he had. We are very thankful to have met Kate and would definitely highly recommend her to care for anyone's pets.”
