About: I use positive reinforcement methodology with your loved ones while I Walk them or when I come check on them at your place. I accommodate your dog's need based on their personality, and characteristics. I think each dog is their own special being and it is important to explore their interests and potentials individually. For walking: during our walks, I do walks around your neighborhood, or take your dog to their favorite trail for a hike for more mental stimulation and physical activity. Paws will get wiped upon request. I like to return them clean and ready for a nap. Drop in visits: I check on your loved one in your own house while you have to be at work or can't show up for your little one. I provide playtime, walks, and I keep up with their training as requested. For instance, I do obedience exercises for mental stimulation. I am experienced with puppies, adults, seniors, and dogs with special need. Schedule a meetup for free! during our meetup session, I will ask about your dog's habits, what they love, what they are sensitive about, their triggers or a behavior I should know. I also check in about any food allergies as they will receive some delicious treats when they are with me! I am a freelance artist and my schedule is flexible. Spending time with dogs on my free time is rewarding and energizing, and I currently have a lot of free time! In my experience, dogs (Specially if they are nervous) do best when there is a routine. When I check on your dog, I start and end with certain activities, and I repeat them next time they see me, that way a sense of trust is getting built between us, because they already expect what is about to happen.
“Sheetal is awesome. She’s great with our dog and really easy to work with. Our dog loves her and we’re so happy our dog is in her care!! Incredibly responsive and easy to communicate with.”

About: Hi! I’m currently transitioning from a career in the entertainment industry to focus more on pet care, a dedication I’ve had my whole life. I’ve spent over 30 years living with and caring for dogs and cats. My detail oriented, organized, and poised personality type has always helped me succeed in the entertainment industry, and these skills cross over to caring for animals, allowing me to anticipate their needs and create a calm, ease filled environment. Dogs have always been an essential part of my life, and I currently share my home with a sweet senior pug who receives weekly physical therapy. Over the years, I’ve cared for many dogs and cats, always prioritizing their comfort, health, and happiness. I know firsthand the peace of mind a loving sitter provides, having used Rover for my own pup for two years. I’m reliable, safety conscious, and fully attentive, so you can feel confident your pup is in good hands. I offer walks, drop-in visits, and dog daycare, giving each dog plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. My home is senior dog friendly, with yoga mats, ramps, soft steps, a fenced yard, and a calm environment. I’m currently welcoming 3-4 recurring dog daycare clients. I can provide boarding for recurring clients as well. If you’re looking for a caring, attentive sitter who treats dogs like family, I’d love to connect and become part of your dog’s extended pack! I am looking to make pet care my main focus. All available booking dates are indicated on my Rover calendar. I am excited to meet your fur babies! My home is designed with senior dogs in mind, fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time, and the inside is mobility friendly with yoga mats, dog ramps, and stairs to help pups get around comfortably and safely. I make it a priority to discourage jumping off furniture to protect their joints. My own senior pug is sweet, social, and would love to make some gentle new friends. I’d be happy to provide a peaceful, cozy, and caring environment for your pup!
“My fear reactive senior chi-terrier mix met Lori (out of the house) and was like, oh hi, like they'd known each other for years. And when we returned to the house my year old maltipoo who usually barks at everyone was also like, oh hi. Will this always be the case everytime with every dog or even everytime with my dogs - I cannot guarantee that - but I attributed this first calm meet and great behavior to Lori's kind, calm, dog-lover vibe. :)”

About: Hi! I’m Sam, and I’ve been working with animals since 2012. Growing up surrounded by dogs and cats, I always knew I wanted a career caring for them. Over the years, I’ve worked at a veterinary office, managed a doggy daycare, pet sat, walked dogs, and even worked in a pet boutique where I learned a lot about pet nutrition. I’ve cared for animals of all ages and sizes from playful puppies to seniors who need extra patience and attention. I’m also experienced giving medications and tending to special needs. I understand how much your fur babies mean to you, and I know how important it is to find someone who treats them with the same care, patience, and affection that you would. I’ve been called “Auntie Sam” by many of my clients because I build close relationships with every fur baby I care for. I love spending time playing, walking, snuggling ( I love a good snuggle sesh) , and just being there to make your best furiend feel safe, happy, and loved. I also understand the trust it takes to let someone into your fur babies life. My goal is to make sure you feel confident and at ease, knowing your furry family is in compassionate, experienced hands. Every animal deserves care that comes from the heart and that’s exactly what I give. I’m just returning to Los Angeles after living abroad for the past five years, and I’m excited to be back in a place where I can fully dedicate my time to caring for pets. My schedule is currently very flexible, and I’m available for visits and walks from early morning to 6 PM, making it easy to accommodate your pets needs. Whether it’s a morning walk, a midday check in, or afternoon cuddles, I can adjust to fit your routine. I always follow your pet's individual schedule to make sure their routine stays consistent while you’re away. I understand how important it is for pets to feel secure and stress free, so I do my best to create a calm, happy environment that mirrors their usual home life. During visits and walks, I give each pet attention and care tailored to their personality whether that’s playful interaction, gentle cuddles, or quiet companionship. I also keep an eye out for any changes in behavior or health, and I make sure to communicate with you regularly so you can feel at ease while you’re gone.
“First walk with our boy Nashville today Patrick was great good introduction and handling Nashville loved his time spent and we are all looking forward to his next walk together Thanks Patrick Anastasia & Jimmy”

About: What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give to each dog as an individual. I’m calm, patient, and very observant, which helps me quickly understand a dog’s personality, routines, and needs. I’m especially attentive with puppies who are learning boundaries and with senior dogs who may need a slower pace, extra care, or medication reminders. I treat every dog as if they were my own and always prioritize safety, comfort, and clear communication with owners. Caring for pets is a meaningful part of my weekly routine. I’m available 7 days a week for dog walking and in-home sitting, and I’m able to give focused, attentive care rather than rushing visits. I make sure each pet gets the time, attention, and affection they deserve. I care for pets in their own homes so they can stay comfortable and stress-free. I handle walks, exercise, feeding, and bathroom breaks, and I make sure each pet gets plenty of attention, affection, and companionship. My goal is to support both pets and owners by providing reliable, thoughtful care.
About: I offer calm, attentive care and a genuine love for animals. I’ve had pets my whole life, and I’m great with shy or independent personalities. I use patience and positive reinforcement (I even taught my cat to high-five!) and always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m also very communicative and will send as many updates/pictures as you’d like! Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. I am fortunate to work from home with flexible hours, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I am able to plan my schedule around feeding times, walks, playtime, and check-in visits so pets are never rushed or left alone longer than they should be. Because of this flexibility, I can spend as much time with your pet as needed and ensure they receive consistent care, companionship, and attention while maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. When pets stay in my home, I treat them like part of the family. I make sure they’re comfortable, safe, and have plenty of time to relax and play. We go on daily walks to the park, and there’s no shortage of cuddle time and one-on-one attention. I’m always mindful of each pet’s individual needs, whether that means following a specific diet, giving medication, or just providing a little extra love and reassurance.
About: I love taking care of dogs and cats, and love to be helpful in any way I can. I'm flexible with my schedule and can accommodate you and your pets' needs! Most of all I really enjoy the outdoors, and spending time with animals. I grew up surrounded by pets on a farm in Switzerland, and have years of experience with taking care of my own dogs/cats/rabbits/turtles as well my friends', my neighbours' etc. I understand that all pets are different, and have individual needs and characteristics that are important to take into consideration when taking care of them. I'm a highly reliable, punctual and professional individual, so you're most at ease when leaving your pet with me. I'm looking forward to hearing from you!
“Danielle saved my butt!! She was very flexible and communicative and came through in a pinch. Gia looked so happy hanging out with her new friend! I will absolutely use her again!”

“Cody was very courteous and conscientious of our doggy. Loved his dog walk reports and photos. Would definitely ask Cody to feed and walk our dog the next time we're out of town!”

About: I grew up with dogs my entire life and since I don’t have any pets of my own right now, I’ve loved caring for other people’s pets over the years. With my girlfriend we have watched dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments over the years. From miniature daschunds to Rottweilers, Dobermans, German Sheperds, and Mastiff mixes, from puppies to seniors, to animals who required medication, I have experience with dogs with many different needs. I work remotely and have a very flexible working schedule so can give your pet all of the attention they may require. Whether you have a high energy puppy who requires lots of walks or a senior who just needs some company, I would love to watch your pet. My goal is to make you and your pet feel at ease as possible while you’re away! I work for myself doing freelance digital media and I work from home, which gives me a lot of flexibility in when I can walk and spend time with pets. I also have a mobile work station, and can work wherever. I rent a spacious house in Highland Park that has a fenced in front yard on a corner plot. I have three room mates, and one very mellow cat. I am less than a 10 minute walk from Arroyo Secco Park and Hermon Park.
“Giselle was great! Super friendly and took great care of Sora! Loved the updates and pictures I received from her! I knew Sora was in good hands! I highly recommend her!”

“Sarai was fantastic in caring for our dogs!! She was reliable and very knowledgeable and considerate in caring for our two dogs, and they really seemed to love her. She was very professional and when we had to make a couple small alterations with our reservation she was flexible and accommodating with that. We really appreciated it. She is a natural dogs and seems to care a lot about them. We will definitely work with Sarai again in the future.”

About: Offering personalized pet sitting with love and care. Reliable services include feeding, walks, playtime and keeping you worry-free. Your furry friends are in safe and loving hands! I am a graphic designer fully working from home. I love taking morning and afternoon walk in between works so it would be wonderful I can spend the time with your pets.

About: I’ve had the pleasure of watching friends’ and family’s pets since I was in grade school! With a caregiving background I’m very good with fulfilling duties and communicating in a timely manner. However, my biggest joy in pet sitting is being able to make dogs and clients as happy as possible! I’m a high energy woman who loves to take walks for fresh air, loves to play with pets and have fun with them all! I’m currently working part time but it’s also quite flexible! As long as I’m updated within the week (sometimes less depending on circumstance) I’m able to choose my own schedule so that I have optimal time to play and car for your pets! I don’t have pets at the moment and I also don’t have a fenced yard, however there is a park nearby me if they’d like to take walks and play there and there are also plenty of dogs to say hello to when walking in the neighborhood! If you’d prefer them crated for whichever needs as well that is also something we can arrange as well!
Highland Park dog parents share their Rover experiences
Kenya is amazing! She is extremely patient with all 3 of my dogs, each with very different personalities. My 2 younger pups are anxious and skiddish with new people yet they were very receptive with her. She allowed them to go to her somehow managed to keep them calm. Will definitely be booking her for housesitting as I know they will be in good hands!
