About: I have over six years of veterinary assistant experience. I’ve cared for dogs and cats of different sizes, ages and temperaments. I’m comfortable with large dogs and pets who need a little extra patience. My veterinary background has taught me to pay close attention to pets behavior, comfort and needs. I’m also bilingual in English and Spanish. I have a flexible schedule right now, so I have time for walks, playtime, or just relaxing with your pets and keeping them company. Caring for my own pet is already part of my daily life and I’ll bring that safe attention and care to yours. As of right now I’m just offering walks, going to clients homes, no overnights at this time unless told otherwise. I’ll respect your home, watch for any changes in your pet’s behavior and keep you updated during my visits.
“Thank you so much for helping us with Chewie. We appreciate your communication, kindness, and professionalism. We definitely look forward to working with you again in the future.”
About: Fur Baby Caretaker LLC OUT OF TOWN 11/11-11/15!!!! WILL RESUME SERVICES ON 11/16!!!! 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’m usually 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've been a dog lover my entire life! I'm currently a proud dog mom to a 14-year-old senior pup and a 6-year-old German Shepherd. Caring for my senior dog as he's gotten older has taught me so much about patience, compassion, and the extra attention our furry friends sometimes need. I absolutely love big dogs and dream of having a Great Dane one day! I treat every pet like family, whether they're young, playful, or enjoying their golden years. I'm also allergic to cats, but nothing a little allergy medicine can't fix! I'm more than happy to stop by and give your kitty some love and attention, too! I work full-time but have a flexible schedule that allows me to make time for your furry friends! I'm available for evening visits Tuesday through Thursday after work, with additional flexibility on Mondays and Fridays. Weekends are my most open days, and I'm happy to accommodate morning, afternoon, or evening visits. I'm also available for morning and evening dog walks in my neighborhood. Whether your pet needs a quick potty break, a nice walk, or some extra love and attention, I'm happy to help! While I'm unable to host pets in my home, I'm more than happy to care for them in the comfort of their own home! As a longtime dog owner with experience caring for both large breeds and senior pets, I understand how important routines, safety, and patience are. I'll always follow your pet's specific feeding, walking, and care instructions, make sure they're comfortable and safe, and provide updates and photos so you have peace of mind while you're away. I'll treat your home and your furry family member with the same care and respect I would my own!
About: I have taken care of dogs my whole life, including my own and others! I currently have no pets, so I have the time and space to care for yours :) I mostly have experience with dogs, young/old/big/small, but I am open to sitting for other pets as well. Although I don’t have formal training experience, I do enjoy taking time to teach dogs tricks/commands you maybe working on. Majority of my camera roll is my family dog and dogs I see out and about, so you will receive plenty of pics of your happy pet :) I work 3 days a week, so I plan on doing this on my days off when I have the whole day available for your pet! I do not have a set schedule, but I will be sure to update ASAP. I do live in an apartment complex that includes an outdoor dog area that is available for playtime or potty breaks. I also love taking dogs for walks at the beach, parks, or trails!
“Kady did great on her first walk with my Cane Corso! Handled him really well and kept him happy and calm. Super patient and easy to work with, can’t wait to have her walk him again!”
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: Most of my life I've owned a dog, or have helped my friends care for theirs. I consider myself a sort of Dog Whisperer. I've played and trained large dogs and smaller toy breeds. I'm great with early training for puppies, as well as thoughtful gentle care for our senior pups🩷 I currently work part time. I am available most mid-morning, afternoon, and evening walk times and feeding needs. I am flexible to you and your pet's needs. I'm happy to provide care for your pet at your residence, however you prefer. However, I live in an apartment and can provide temporary short term care at my residence if necessary.
About: My doodle was trained and raised with the help of my K9 handler friend, so I have some professional training experience. I have dog-sat from puppies to seniors and can accommodate needs accordingly. I love dogs more than most humans haha and I guarantee they will have a fulfilled time with me! I have a flexible and fully remote corporate job, so my schedule is very adaptable. I personally take my dog to the park every afternoon, plus walks in the evening. Happy dog, happy mom! I am very attentive and nurturing towards all fur babies! I am also clean & respectful of your rules and home. I like to share dog friendly healthy foods that I prepare (plain pumpkin, plain Greek yogurt, plain chicken/beef/salmon, fruits & veggies etc) - just let me know if your pet has any allergies!
About: I've been caring for animals since I was 7 years old and have experience with both dogs and cats, including raising 3 liters of kittens from birth to adulthood. Caring for animals has always naturally come to me and I treat every pet with the same patience, attention, and affection I'd want for my own. I am active, attentive, and happy to adjust to each pets individual personality and routine. Whether they love long walks and exploring outside or prefer relaxing at home with plenty of companionship, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while they're away from their family. For boarding, I only accept one client's pets at a time. I can provide a calm environment and plenty of individual attention. I'm comfortable administering medications and assisting with basic grooming (nail trims, feeding, walking, care, etc) instructions. I know being away from home can be difficult for some pets, so I am patient and happy to give them the time and reassurance they need to settle in. I go to school part time and will fit your pet into my routine with dedicated time slots to take care of your pet and their needs. I can ensure your pet is in a comfortable environment, get regular exercise, kept up with routines, and following specific instructions provided while monitoring their health.
“JP is the best! All my dogs LOVE him! They get excited just upon seeing him. I don’t even want to write this glowing review as I don’t want him to get booked up too heavily when we need him! :) thanks JP!”

About: With over 30 years of caring for both dogs and cats, I have a deep understanding of animal behavior and know how to make pets feel safe, calm, loved, and comfortable, especially when their owners are away or at work. I offer more than basic pet sitting; I create a nurturing environment where pets receive personalized attention, affection, exercise, and emotional support. My background in healthy lifestyle coaching also helps me stay attentive, active, organized, and compassionate with every pet I care for. I am particularly patient with senior pets, shy animals, and pets that need extra reassurance or consistency in their routines. It fits into my schedule because I can spend time with them at the beach, the dog park, walking around town, or just hopping in the car to visit a larger dog park. Life is good when time isn't an issue. My home is fenced and offers plenty of space for outdoor play. Plus, we spend most of our time outside. I cook homemade food for my fur baby and always take a nap after a long walk. You can feel reassured knowing your fur babies will have someone present, attentive, experienced, and caring while they are away.

Aileen is incredible! She goes above and beyond. I had a weeklong road trip and she was willing to work with our reactive pup, as well as take care of our older dog. It was definitely a hectic schedule but she was available for it all. We will definitely be booking Aileen for any and all future needs.🤎🐶🐺
Patty has been great with my dog Nova! My dog is a nervous girl around new people. Patty took the time to allow nova to slowly warm up to her on their initial visit, and even offered to come over later that night while I was home so she would be in a more comfortable environment if needed. Nova now loves seeing Patty and I’m overall very happy with the service!
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!
Angelica walked my 2 dogs this week while I was out of town and my husband, who works overnight, was asleep. I was worried as my dog Cali can be a bit feisty to new people but she seemed to warm up to Angelica very fast! Both dogs seemed to have a great time on their walls from the pictures Angelica shared with me. She is communicative, responsive, and responsible, and we will definitely book with her again!

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Hawthorne. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

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.
