About: Hi! I’m a devoted pet parent and passionate animal lover who treats every pet like family. For the past 4+ years, I’ve shared my life with my own fur baby, and she’s truly become my best friend. Spending my days caring, playing, and bonding with her has taught me how to build trust, show love, and pay attention to the little things that matter most to animals. What sets me apart is the level of care I bring by being thoughtful, detail-oriented, and heartwarming. I’ve learned to read pets' emotions, recognize when something isn’t quite right, and respond quickly. After navigating health issues with my own pup, I know how to stay calm, be prepared, and act fast when needed, always putting their safety and comfort first. I'm also very mindful of my surroundings during walks or social encounters. I’ve developed a strong sense of how to read the body language of unfamiliar dogs and can quickly spot when another dog may be feeling anxious or reactive. This helps me avoid risky situations and ensures that the dogs in my care are always safe and well-protected. Whether your pet needs a cuddle buddy, a playful companion, or someone to keep a watchful, loving eye while you’re away, I’m here to give them the same love and care I give my own. I'm currently available full time to care for your pets! I recently moved to the U.S. with my husband and our fur baby due to his job. I am going to school to learn english as english is my second language so I hope that Rover also gives me the oportunity to meet many animal lover parents and helps me get more involved with the community. On the side I love working out and when I am not with my family or at school I am typically running and excercising, as that is a big part of my life. I’m here to provide the specific care your pet needs whether it’s a visit, a walk, respecting their space, offering a safe crate or area to relax, or keeping track of feeding times. I pay close attention to every detail to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable. I know how important peace of mind is when you’re away from your furry family member, so I’m happy to send as many photos and videos as you’d like. I truly love making pet parents feel calm and confident that their baby is in great hands.

About: I have been adopting cats and dogs and enjoy taking care of them since I was in college. And I recently began dog sitting for my neighbor's dog and realized how much I enjoy it. It's such a pleasure taking care of animals! I enjoy walking outdoors myself so now I just take my pup with me. I work from home and have a flexible schedule and i would be available to attend to your pet during the day as well as some evenings and overnight . I have a fenced backyard and enough room to run around and I also have a friendly small dog named Fluffy who is a year and a half old. My daughter and husband are also enjoy animals.

About: Committed to making your fur baby feel safe, loved, and well-cared for. I recently became a foster dog momma last year in May. I’m currently partnered with Labelle Foundation out of LA and Animals Rule Rescue out of San Pedro. I have truly fallen in love with the experience - since May of 2024 I have fostered 13 dogs! All of which have found their furever homes. They’ve all ranged in age, size and breed. I’ve worked with and trained puppies as young as 6 weeks old along with dogs 1-5 years old. I’ve met some really special people and pups on this fostering journey and would love to continue doing so! I run my own business and primarily work from home so my schedule is very flexible. I am available for same day bookings for drop-in visits and walks. I prefer to have at least 1 day notice for boarding your pet but can make exceptions when I am able. Here to help you in any way that I can! Please don’t hesitate to reach out for meet and greets prior to booking a boarding service with me. Your pets care and well-being is my top priority. Upon booking, I’d like to know all that there is to know about your pet - their diet, their schedule, their sleeping arrangements, etc.. The more I know, the better I can care for your fur baby! If you are boarding your pet - I live in a great, pet friendly neighborhood. They will have a safe space and a secured home/backyard to play and run around in.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for pretty much my whole entire adult life. And because of that I know that there is no deeper bond than with your furry baby. I’m available on week days as well as evenings. I work from home so I can also day sit your fur babies. Whatever works for you, I’m sure we can work something out. Just ask :) I have a home and a fenced big back yard. My fiancé and I have 2 friendly doggies (8 yrs and 1.5yrs) and take joy in spending quality time with them.

About: Hi! I’m Sophia, a lifelong dog lover based in Lakewood, CA, where I live with three rescue pups. I’ve been caring for dogs since I was a kid - from energetic puppies to senior sweethearts. Nowadays I'm the go-to pet sitter for my family and friends. With a career in government and politics, I bring the same level of professionalism, dependability, and attention to detail to every walk, drop-in, or overnight stay. Whether your pup needs a leisurely stroll or a high-energy adventure, I’ll treat them like one of my own. Let’s get those tails wagging! Right now, I’m focusing solely on dog walking and pet care as I take a break from my full-time career. I’ve always loved being around animals, and this time has given me the opportunity to fully dedicate myself to caring for dogs—whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or just making sure they feel safe and loved. Since my schedule is currently flexible, I’m able to prioritize each pup’s unique needs and build consistent, dependable routines with them. It’s something I genuinely enjoy and feel passionate about every day. While I don’t offer care in my own home because I have three rescue dogs, I’m more than happy to care for pets in their own familiar environment. I believe dogs feel most comfortable and secure in their own space, so I focus on keeping their routine consistent—whether that’s feeding, walking, playtime, or cuddle time. I pay close attention to each pet’s needs and personality and make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. I also keep owners updated with regular check-ins, photos, and notes for peace of mind.

About: What sets me apart is the love and patience I have for animals. I personally raised my sweet dog since she was just one month old, so I understand how to care for young puppies with tenderness and responsibility. I may not have formal experience, but I treat every pet as if they were my own — with love, respect, and attention. I truly feel a connection with animals and enjoy making them feel safe and happy. I’ve also helped care for pets of family and friends, and I always do my best to make them feel loved while their owners are away. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate time to pet care during the mornings and some afternoons or evenings. I enjoy being active, so going on walks or playing with dogs fits perfectly into my daily routine. I’m very responsible with time, and I love spending quiet moments giving attention, cuddles, or just making pets feel safe and loved. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow all instructions closely to keep their routine as normal and comforting as possible. I give them fresh water, food, walks, and lots of attention — always with love and patience. I respect the client’s home as if it were my own, and I keep everything clean and organized. I also take time to connect with the pet, understand their behavior, and make them feel safe while their owner is away. I truly believe animals feel our energy, so I always bring calm, kindness, and warmth to their space. I care for them like I would want someone to care for my own dog.

About: I grew up in Colorado and have always had a dog, big to small, young to old. Letting them express themselves and use their energy makes for a good doggie. I currently have a very playful westie that spends most of his time right by my side. Our backyard has many places to zip around and places to nap. I currently have a very open schedule in the lakewood / long beach area. Please let me know your scheduling needs are and we will make these dogs smile! I have a backyard which is gated with high walls. We currently have a westie, he is very energetic and loves playing with other dogs.

About: My family and I adore and often spoil animals! We have lots of experience with medicated senior dogs, and I am currently in college to become a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine. Though I am in school and am part-time employed, I will have plenty of time and attention given to your pets! I am completely free Monday through Friday this summer. My mother Mindy is also home almost all day as she works from home, and will be helping care for your pets. I have a small friendly dog named Darci to keep your pets company, a safe and quiet neighborhood to walk them in, and a fenced grass backyard for them to potty or play in.

Ximena P.
“Jimena was my neighbor for about 10 years and she has always owned pets for the time I’ve known her. Her pets were always very well taken care of and she made sure they were also taken care of when she was out of town. I’ve seen her always walk her dog and give him the best of care as well as her cats. I would definitely trust her with my pets and recommend her to others for pet care.”


Heaven L.
“Heaven is like a sister and a mother to her dogs. She takes great pride in her care of dogs and enjoys dog sitting for us when we are out of town. Never do we have to worry about our dogs with Heaven. We know that she will treat them like they were her own. In fact, I think they prefer her attention over ours. Her responsibility to and love for dogs are immeasurable and immense. Please understand that she will do whatever it takes to keep your dogs, too, healthy and happy! 😊”


Janette Z.
“I would recommend Janette to everyone, she is amazing! There aren't a whole lot of people out there that can take care of your furbabies let alone 3! She has outstanding attention to detail, extremely reliable, and always shows up with a smile! My partner and I would love to use her services again. Moco, Chewie, and Benni agree! 🐾”


Sophia R.
“Sophia is truly one of Rusty’s favorite humans. As a rescue with separation anxiety, he’s not easily comforted—but with Sophia, he’s calm, happy, and completely at ease. I always return to a peaceful pup and a home that’s somehow cleaner and more organized than I left it. She’s reliable, thoughtful, and clearly has a gift with animals.”


Sugheidy C.
“I’ve seen how Sugheidy takes care of her dog with so much love and dedication. She’s always attentive to her needs and has a really special connection with her. I’ve also noticed how easily she connects with other animals — it’s like they can feel her kindness. She’s patient, responsible, and truly enjoys being around pets. I’m confident she’d make a great pet sitter.”

Lakewood dog parents share their Rover experiences
Jennylyn was great with our corgboy. She was very friendly and took time to meet him a few days before we needed her services to walk him. After meeting, we knew we could trust her with him. From the pictures she sent, it looks like he enjoyed his walk too. We would definitely recommend her for dog walking.

"Philip is absolutely fantastic! My dog, Nikko , came back from the walk with a huge smile and clearly had a blast. Philip sent updates throughout the walk. I feel completely confident leaving my furry friend in his care and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a top-notch dog walker!"
