About: I’ve lived with dogs and cats almost my entire life and I know how to take care of them well and make them feel happy and safe! I live in an apartment with my family, we all love pets and equally experienced with taking care of them :) Note: This account is owned by me, Nabil Abdelsayed, but often times when I’m unavailable a family member helps out. I will always make sure to specify who will be taking care of your pet and a meeting could always be arranged beforehand. I’m free all day and I’d be more than happy to take your pet in! If there happens to be any reason that I am not free I will update my schedule. I will make sure your pet feels safe and happy here, and provide them anything that they need. I live with 3 cats and 1 dog, they all get along and I’d be more than happy to look after your pet as well!
“Perla is the best. It’s hard to leave my fur babies when I travel but knowing I have someone that takes such good care of them, makes me feel less guilty about leaving them.”

“Absolutely the best cat sitter who has watched our cat numerous times! From the very first day, Ivy was professional, incredibly organized, caring and communicative. We received wonderful daily updates and pictures that showed our cat was completely relaxed and happy. It gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Our home was left completely clean and tidy, and our fur baby was perfectly cared for. We will absolutely be booking Ivy again and highly recommend her services to any pet parent!”

About: I’ve had pets my whole life, so taking care of animals just feels natural to me. I’m patient, reliable, and genuinely enjoy spending time with all kinds of pets. Your fur baby will be treated like family with me. I currently work from home and work at my own pace with lots of down time to spend with animals. I would like to spend that down time caring for pets. My pets are family at my home. All pets are welcomed and treated as family. Home has a big yard for pets to be outside or spend time with me at home.
About: I have had dogs in my family ever since I could remember. As an adult, I have had my own dogs for the last five years - Star and Popsicle are my world! I am comfortable walking two dogs at a time, administering medicines, and if there is anything else your pet may need, I have probably handled it myself before. I have cared for other people's pets on and off for years as well and have handled many situations with ease. I currently have a very flexible, open schedule that can accommodate any specific walk times or potty breaks. I can assist any time of day, any day of the week. Hello! Trusting me with your beloved pet means that they will be taken care of with all the love and attention that I give my own two dogs. I am patient, attentive, and kind in my care, and I genuinely love being around any pets! From feeding to enriching walks, I want to make sure your pet feels safe and happy while you are away.
“Elaine is always my go to for all pet sitting/walking needs! My husky and cats adore her, and I trust her with them and my home. I’ve so much appreciated her flexibility with last minute bookings too!”

About: I have a great amount of experience caring for my own pets, family & friends pets, clients pets, and even cats in an adoption center. My family and friends always come to me for any pet related advice or care they may possibly need. I am very particular in the way in which my own pets are cared for so I will make sure to follow any instructions given to me in order to meet your beloved pets needs. I have lots of experience in bathing, feeding, pottying, training, walking, giving medication, and anything else you can possibly need for your pet. I’ve interacted with various dog breeds and ages. I do work full time but I am fully available Tuesdays and Sundays. On Wednesday, Friday, and Saturdays I am available in the evenings once it’s 5pm. If you let me know a week or even 2 weeks in advance for the days I am limited, I can always try my best to make something work. I unfortunately can’t care for any pets in my home as we already have our own full house. I will gladly care for your pet in your home. Safety is my number one priority as it is in my own home. If your pet free roams I will try my best to make sure they can’t get into any trouble when not supervised. I like to make sure that all gear is fitted and in working condition before any outings. I also will not put them in any situations in which they may feel uncomfortable so if your pets doesn’t like interacting with other dogs or people please let me know.
“Shannon was great! She was able to accommodate my drop in request with short notice and made sure that all my requests were met. She sent videos of my kitten and communicated with me regarding when she entered my home and when she left. I would recommend her to people looking for drop-in sitting and I will definitely use her services again!”


“She did a wonderful job making sure my cats were comfortable, happy, and fed every day while I was away for a week. She communicated well and was attentive to all the needs of my special-needs cat and my kittens. I felt confident knowing they were in caring and capable hands!”

“Sarah was great with our cat! She was very communicative and also went above and beyond to help bring in deliveries while we were out of town. We will definitely hire her again!”

About: Hi there! I grew up with animals and have been around them my entire life. My Grammy was part of the Golden Retriever Club of LA, a dog trainer, and a breeder. I assisted her many times growing up whenever she had a litter of puppies. I was even able to experience being in the operation room during one of the births to support the puppies when they were born. Animals have been a big part of my life and they have created so many beautiful memories for me to cherish! Currently, I have availability off and on throughout most days. I am a graduate student, so my schedule can change. Please refer to my calendar or ask me before booking! I have lots of experience caring for other's pets and family's pets as well over the years. I am always mindful when going into people's homes and often try to find small ways to leave it looking better than when I arrived.
About: I’ve been around and caring for animals since I was a kid, including my own pets as well as pets belonging to friends, family, and others. I have experience pet sitting, walking dogs, feeding, playing, and providing everyday care. Throughout my life I have lived with over 25 different animals with all different ages, needs, and personalities. With that, I’m comfortable with dogs and cats of all different sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities, and I understand that every animal has their own routine and needs. I’m patient, attentive, and always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I have just recently graduated collage and am in the process of looking for further work and internships in my field, so, for the most part, I have a very flexible and free schedule. I have plenty of time for pet care, including walks, feeding, playtime, check-ins, and companionship. I’m happy to work with each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible and can plan visits around their usual feeding, walking, and care schedule. Of course, I do need to know dates and responsibilities a few days in advance, but I am happy to work around your needs! I take safety and trust very seriously when caring for someone else’s pet and home. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely, keep pets secure on walks and during visits, and pay attention to their behavior and comfort level. I make sure they have fresh food and water, a clean environment, plenty of attention, and any space they need. I also respect each home and always leave everything clean and secure.
About: Hi, I’m Robin! I’m based in San Pedro and provide dependable dog walks, drop-in visits, and personalized pet care throughout San Pedro, Long Beach, Torrance, and the surrounding South Bay communities. I know every pet has their own personality and routine, so I take the time to understand what makes them feel safe, comfortable, and happy. Whether your dog needs an energetic walk or your cat prefers a quiet check-in, I’ll care for them with patience, kindness, and plenty of attention. You can count on reliable communication, timely updates, and lots of photos while you’re away, so you’ll always know how your pet is doing. I’d love to meet you and your pet—feel free to reach out to schedule a meet & greet! I work from home most weekdays and normally stay local on the weekends. Love to get out for walks on the weekends and mid day during the week Building trust with pets is key to ensuring that they feel comfortable and happy in my care. I take the time to get to know each pet individually, so I can tailor my care to their unique personalities and preferences. Whether it's playing with their favorite toy or providing them with plenty of belly rubs, I am dedicated to building a bond of trust with your pets.
About: Hi, I’m Fibie! I’m a 22-year-old nursing student who would love the opportunity to care for your pets like they’re my own. I have two dogs of my own—a 6-year-old terrier mix who is my best friend and loves to cuddle, and a playful 7-month-old American Bully who keeps me on my toes! I’ve grown up around pets my whole life and have experience caring for the pets of family and friends. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members, and my goal is to make pet care one less thing for you to worry about. Whether you’re busy, traveling, or simply need an extra hand, I’m here to provide your pets with plenty of love, attention, playtime, and care. I can’t wait to meet your pets, get to know their personalities, and make some new furry friends! I am a nursing student with a flexible schedule, offering reliable, loving pet care throughout the week and weekends, including walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays. I prioritize keeping pets safe, comfortable, and supervised at all times. My two dogs get regular walks and outdoor time in our secure, turf-covered backyard. I’m happy to follow your pet’s routine, including crate training if needed, or allow them to roam while I keep a close eye on them.
About: I’ve had cats my entire life and have earned a reputation among friends and family as the “cat whisperer.” I have a knack for connecting with cats of every temperament, from outgoing cuddle bugs to shy, fearful, independent, or extra-spicy cats who take a little more patience to win over. I have extensive experience with kittens, seniors, fostering, medications, special care routines, and challenging or defensive cats. I’m great at reading feline body language, respecting boundaries, and letting each cat decide how quickly we become friends. My own formerly-feral barn cats went from aggressive and completely standoffish to affectionate angel-babies who come running for attention; one of my proudest accomplishments! I also understand that trusting someone with your pet often means trusting them with your home. I’m a homeowner myself, and I take that responsibility seriously. My mom raised me to always leave a space better than I found it, and that’s something I still live by. I’m respectful of people’s privacy, belongings, and personal space, and I’ll treat your home with the same care I’d want someone to show mine. Cats are genuinely my specialty. Whether yours needs cuddles, playtime, medication, patience, or simply someone who understands when to leave them alone, I’ll meet them exactly where they are and make sure both you and your cat feel comfortable while you’re away. I have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to plan my day around the pets in my care rather than trying to squeeze visits into a small window. I’m available throughout the week for drop-ins, feeding, medication, playtime, and plenty of quality time with your cat. I also understand that cats are creatures of habit, so I’m happy to stick as closely as possible to their normal routine and preferred schedule while you’re away. Safety and trust come first for me; both of your cat’s and your home’s. I follow each cat’s established routine closely, double-check doors and entry points, keep food, water, and litter areas clean, and pay close attention to any changes in behavior, appetite, or overall demeanor. As the owner of two formerly-feral barn cats, I’m especially aware of escape risks and how quickly a nervous or curious cat can make a break for it! I’m comfortable with shy, defensive, or unpredictable cats and never force interaction. I let them set the pace and work to earn their trust. When staying in or visiting someone’s home, I treat it as carefully as I would my own. I respect your privacy and belongings, keep things tidy, and follow any household instructions you leave. My goal is for you to come home to a happy, relaxed cat and a home that looks just as good, or better, than when you left it.
“We had an excellent experience with Brianna and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter. She was incredibly responsible, punctual, and maintained great communication throughout our time away. She was also able to help us on very short notice, which we truly appreciated. Brianna kept us updated and was always quick to respond, giving us complete peace of mind and we would not hesitate to book with her again in the future.”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with over a decade of experience in dog walking, pet sitting, and cat care. I started pet sitting in middle school for family, friends, and neighbors! I’m comfortable with dogs of all breeds, ages, and sizes. I also have hands-on experience with newborn puppies. I’m happy to care for your cats too! Feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime, and all the love they need while you're gone. I work from home so I can take your pet to the bathroom whenever they need, take them on walks, and play with them all day :) I live in an apartment but it is very pet friendly. There are many places for dogs to run around or go to the bathroom.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Harbor City
It was wonderful to have Roselyn come and care for my pets. She did a great job of communicating any questions she had. After receiving my Rover Card I was very content and excited to see that she did an amazing job of meeting my pets needs. I highly recommend booking with Roselyn if you're in need of a sitter for your fur babies. It was my first ever booking with Rover and I'm glad I chose Roselyn :). I will continue to use her services as long as they are needed and she is available.

Diana helped me take care of my baby cat Sorachi VERY last minute while I went out of town & took great care of her. I really appreciate her super quick responses & detailed notes (& adorable pics) she left for Sorachi each visit she had. Highly recommend her if you need someone to take care of your fur babies. Thank you Diana! :)

Britney was incredible from start to finish— amazing communication, she even sent a heads-up message every time she was on her way. Receiving tons of photos with every visit gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. She proved to be 100% reliable. Even when her own schedule had a minor change, she still honored our booking without missing a beat. Knowing our pups were in such caring, dependable hands made all the difference. I highly recommend her services!

She did a wonderful job making sure my cats were comfortable, happy, and fed every day while I was away for a week. She communicated well and was attentive to all the needs of my special-needs cat and my kittens. I felt confident knowing they were in caring and capable hands!

I’ve had Sora take care of my senior cat multiple times already while Im away and feel confident that I’m leaving my cat in good hands. My cat needs to be given several medications and Sora is able to handle that with no issues. She also updates me regularly. Will definitely rebook in the future.
Ji Hae was wonderful with our dogs. She came to meet them before we left town. She fed both and medicated our Australian Shepherd/Husky mix. Ji Hae walked both dogs and made sure they had plenty of water. She kept us updated with photos and left the house neat. I’m confident in recommending Ji Hae’s services.

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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
