“Aileen did a fantastic job walking our 3 dogs, one of which is a puppy. Her communication throughout the whole process was outstanding. I was so happy getting all of the pictures she took and the potty reports! It was our first time using Rover, and we were extremely pleased with Aileen. We will definitely be using her services again.”
About: DETAILED SERVICES PROVIDED HERE: I’ve owned and taken care of pets for 20+ years. I have two dogs which I trained myself to pass the CGC Test. I am an athlete so walking and running with dogs is always a great time! I am patient and truly believe every pet deserves love & attention. I treat every pet like one of my own — calm, attentive, and consistent. I send updates with photos after every visit, communicate quickly, and pay attention to the small things (medication times, food preferences, anxiety triggers). I've built long-term relationships with my repeat clients because I show up the same way every time.

I'm currently working part-time, so I have some free time throughout the week to pet-sit, walk, and drop in. I currently cannot board due to my apartment not allowing pets at the moment.

About: Fur Baby Caretaker LLC 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 worked at from 2018-2022. 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 part time in Gardena in the afternoon-evening Mon-Fri, but typically am home or close by during most of the day and on weekends. I usually 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.**
About: I have ample experience caring for other families dogs, as well as my own three who have now passed. I have been a trusted caregiver for pets for over 10 years, including overnight stays and drop-ins. I will care for your dog/cat as if they are my own family’s pets. I am currently working remotel after graduating College, so pet-sitting fits perfectly into my schedule. I have a fully open schedule, and am ready to care for your sweet fur babies! I care for pets in my home, or a clients home, the way that I would care for my own pets. This care is full of love, compassion, energy and excitement.

About: My whole life I’ve been around animals. I used to own 2 dogs and would foster street animals. I would volunteer at an animal shelter to gain more proper animal care, I was a groomer to learn animal behavior, and back to college I’ve gained animal experience for all different sizes of animals. Not only this but I go to my friends house weekly to play with their dogs and play with them During this summer I am attending school but only have 2 classes from 8am-3pm. Afterward I am trying to gain any opportunities that will help me grow my resume and animal experience. I am a huge pet person and prefer to spend my time caring and giving attention to the pet. I am very cautious of my surroundings
“Kirsten is the GREATEST WALKER EVER! Not only is she a super sweet person, she takes amazing care of our fur baby Phoebe and provides tons of adorable pictures and updates. It’s been a relief having her provide walks/check-ins while we’re out of town. 11/10 would recommend Kirsten!! ?”


“Patricia did a great job walking Patches and spent quality time with her. We felt at ease knowing our fur baby was well taken care off. We will definitely use her again! Five stars for you!????”

About: I have several years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I grew up with pets at home and have helped friends and neighbors with daily walks, feeding, and playtime. I’m comfortable handling both energetic puppies and calm senior dogs, making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I have a flexible schedule and can fit pet care around my daily routine. I’m available both weekdays and weekends, and I always make time to give pets the attention they deserve. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets. In my client’s home, I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully—whether it’s feeding schedule, walking routes, or house rules. I make sure doors and gates are securely closed at all times, and I never leave pets unattended outdoors.
About: I began dog sitting a couple of years ago for the families I babysat for. When they would go out of town I would bring my furry friends home with me. I’ve always enjoyed taking them to the nearby parks and beaches around me. When they stay with me they are taken care for and treated like family. I work full time but I’m free on the weekends and occasionally on Fridays. My availability is mainly on the weekends since I am home. When I bring them home with me I like to have their bed and food set up in my living room. I have a back yard where they can hang out as well. I like to keep them in their routine and walk them frequently so they’re not inside all day. I try to do the same even if they stay in their home. I will check in as often as I can and will take them on longer walks when they stay in their home since I am not there the whole day as I would be in my own home.
About: Hello, my name is Daya. I’ve been working with animals, technically my entire life and I know that’s what you typically read.. when I was younger I had roosters, chickens, guinea pigs, rabbit, lizards, and birds. I was seeking to becoming a veterinarian technician, but I know that wasn’t my real passion. I became a Dog trainer, now for 6 years. I have been working with reactive dogs (aggressive) and the reason why I say reactive is because our dogs react towards something that makes our dogs look aggressive or probably are. I make sure as a Dog Trainer and the pet parent have a clear understanding what we need to do to help out our dogs. The training I do is obedience. I came to Rover to help out pet parents in need and not just with training but to also care for your furry friend when you're at work. Not only am I a Dog trainer, but I’m also a dog bather at my job. So, I don’t just train dogs. I make sure they are groomed well and again I just bathe. I Do Not cut hair. I want to make sure that our furry friends are clean and healthy so when they are in our home or it’s summer, they feel fresh and fine. I am also a pet parent myself. I have two cats and two dogs of my own. In the picture that you see on Rover, I am Daya the person on the right side. Every day I need to make sure that my babies are fed and well. As myself I do have and work a full-time job, thankfully. I exercise my dogs and cats before I head to work to make sure they move around before I head to work because I know they’re probably just waiting for me to come home.
About: Dogs and cats trainer. I know how hard it is to leave the love of your life. But for those moments, I'm here to help. I work fully remote. I study in the afternoon for my masters which for the next couple months until graduation will limit my type of services. Although anything can be coordinated upon request. Your pet will have its own bedroom unless cuddles are required. Parks are available around my place to go for a good walk. Building is petfriendly.
About: I have 3 dogs and 2 cats of my own, each one of them are rescues and required a lot of time and patience. I’m experienced in dog trading as well as administering medication. It helps me stay active as well as helps gain more experience with animals. I work from home so it helps me get my daily vitamin d . I’ve personally crate trained my dogs, it’s helped me monitor them while I’m not home. I like to take them on long walks and have play dates to get their energy out as well as stimulate their mind.
About: I've grown up with all types of dogs my whole life. Dogs are my happiness, and would love to work with them on my free time. I have an open availability right now for any day of the week and weekend. I would be able to dog sit whenever there is an opportunity to. I'm a very gentle person with dogs, I go above and beyond to care for them, play with them and make sure they are always in a safe environment.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Hawthorne
Denise was AMAZING! My dog was very anxious when I left and Denise did a fantastic job of caring for my dog while also doing a little bit of extra cleaning because of a few accidents. Denise was always in communication and constantly updated me whenever she would walk my dog about her status, eating habits and how my dog was feeling. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter/walker! She's awesome :) Thanks again Denise!

We had such a great experience with Devon! She showed up right on time, was incredibly communicative, and took such great care of our Storm girl. We loved getting the updates and adorable photos from their walk—it was so reassuring to know Storm was happy and in great hands. Devon was so sweet, and Storm clearly loved her! We’ve already booked her again and would absolutely recommend her!

I am very satisfied with the service I received from Saffi. It is very comforting to know I can trust someone to help me with my pets when I’m out on vacation. Saffi sent me updates and photos and I knew my dog was very happy. I definitely would recommend her to anyone on the Rover app. Thank you Saffi!

We are so glad we came across Su! Before booking her services, we did a meet-and-greet, and Obi liked her from day one. Not only Obi, but all of our fur babies at home warmed up to her immediately. Su followed all of our instructions carefully, and what I appreciated most were the photo updates and regular check-ins while we were away. We are beyond happy with her service and truly can’t say enough great things about her. I was a little skeptical at first about trying the app, but I’m so glad I did. Obi absolutely fell in love with Su and already misses her. We definitely found our person, and we’re excited to book with her many more times in the future. Thank you so much, Suyoon!

Gabrielle was phenomenal. She was attentive to our highly energetic dog’s needs. She was very communicative and thorough with our dog, definitely giving us peace of mind while we were away on a trip. The updates and pictures she sent us of our dog Bruno showed how great of a time he had!

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker or the new environment. 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
