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.**
“Booked Gabrielle last min and she was quick and responsive! She was very sweet, took two (big dogs) on a solid walk and sent pics. She was easy to work with and communicated/replied quick! Will definitely book again!”
“Indra was beyond incredible. She clearly loves animals and went above and beyond taking care of my pet. From spending extra time, coming extra days, and taking really long walks. She is attentive, responsive, and kind. I give her my highest recommendation.”

I had German Shepherds growing up and was involved in their everyday care, including feeding, playing, walking, and keeping them comfortable and safe.

I’m excited to provide your pet with a safe, loving, and comfortable experience.

About: I've taken dog grooming classes. I know how to bathe dogs and trim their nails. I've worked at a dog day care before. There, I helped watch dogs of all sizes and ages and bathe them as needed. 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. I follow what I believe is the best protocol when dealing with animals. When I introduce myself, I like to lower myself to the ground to meet them at their level and try to let them approach me when they want. I love to play and pet animals.
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was a child, and I do believe it is my purpose in life! I have worked at dog day care facilities and rehab clinics for sick / injured wild animals, where I received training in CPR, medication administration and behavioral training. PLEASE NOTE: I can only board dogs that are under 50lbs in my home. However, I am more than happy to walk / drop-in on dogs of any size! I love all animals, but particularly more challenging ones are my favorite :) (I.e energetic puppies, grumpy oldies and quirky personality traits.) I will love your animal(s) as if they are my own! With plenty of play time, outdoor exploration and socialization to ensure your baby is happy and well taken care of. *** Please don’t hesitate to message me if you have any other pets that are not dogs / cats, I can take care of them as well during drop-ins / overnight visits if needed. I work full time as an animal care taker from our home with my partner. This is our full time job and we absolutely love every minute of it. I have a fenced yard with 2 cats and 2 dogs at home for plenty of socialization and playtime. I can also crate your pup if needed, as well as separate my animals from them if needed as well.
“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!! ?”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Hawthorne
Mars was wonderful!! I recommend! They’re very thoughtful and asked questions to clarify. I really appreciate that. I’m so grateful for their care while I’m away! My dog is everything to me so having someone who I can trust to treat her well is incredible. Thank you so much, Mars!
Mandy was awesome! She really brought out the puppy in my 11 yr old French bulldog. In their first meet and greet her positive energy and love of dogs brought out his zoomies (which he rarely does anymore)! She is a great communicator and loves your pet like her own. Highly recommend!!
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!

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins.

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
