“She was such a sweetheart with my grouchy dog. Although she wasn't able to walk my dog because my dog wouldn't let her, Lindsay would try to make her feel comfortable so that my dog can trust her. Lindsay would clean after my dog and even looked after my cat and cleaned his litter. I loved her effort in trying to win my dog's trust which makes me comfortable that i can hired her again. Thanks Lindsay!”


“Laura is so nice, friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. I know my two huskies can be a handful, but I felt so at ease having her stop by to let them go potty and eat dinner while I was out of town on a day trip. I was able to enjoy my time and not have to worry about their safety. She was sure to clarify any questions and followed all their medication needs. I know my dogs enjoyed having someone stop by and give them some loving while I was gone too. She also sent me the cutest pictures of my babies! So grateful for Laura!”


“I absolutely love Michelle!! I'm pretty sure there isn't anyone sweeter than her! We came in for a short vacation/concert. We have anxious dogs, and thankfully she has experience with that. She was so helpful and willing to stay with our dogs the whole time we were gone. They fell in love with her!! We were able to have a great time at our event without worrying at all! I cannot recommend her enough. We have had quite a few sitters of the past few years, and she is hands-down the best!!”


“Brittany was great! She was super communicative and friendly. She engaged with our dog so well and her visits with her went perfectly. We are appreciate her help and would absolutely book with her again. Thank you, Brittany!”


“Christina was great! She was responsive and good and communicating her visit and how my cat was doing during her time watching her. She took great care of my cat while I was out of town.”

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.

“We are glad we chose Savannah to care for our two cats, she is very professional, punctual and truly cared for our babies. We highly recommend her and we will be using her in the future without hesitation. Great job, highly recommend!!!”


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 genuinely love dogs and I enjoy the company that they bring me. I always make shore that every dog that is being walked, is filled with full care and love. I love seeing them sniff the fresh air and experience different places while walking. I am very flexible with my hours and I am willing to makes changes to anyone’s needs. I currently work at Taco Bell twice a week and I just graduated high school, so I want to save up for college. I love dogs and I thought this would be a fun job to build bonds with the dogs while taking them out on fresh daily walks. I am very flexible throughout my days now that it is summer, so I’m open for availability. I have a dog named Rocky and he is well behaved. We raised him and he is potty trained. He always pees outside because he has a doggy door he goes through. When it’s a nice hot day I like to get him a lil whip cream or smth cold for him to enjoy. I love playing with him and playing hide and seak.

“Michelle was amazing! She sent daily updates of our kitty and took the time to cuddle with her while we were away- we’ll definitely think of Michelle next time we need a sitter!!”


About: A genuine dog sitter with a true love for pets. I will take my time being patient with your dog and understanding. I will treat every dog like my own, make sure they are stress free, love dogs of ALL sizes, and you will receive numerous photos of your furry friend 😁 I am 18 years old, freshly graduated and spending summer at home (with my cat). Since I am not working or in school at the moment which means i am able to be fully present and keeping a good routine of feeding, playing, walks, and plenty of cuddles! How I care for my pets at home is I make sure i have a routine for my furry baby. Feeding every morning and night, make sure I play wiith him (gets all his zoomies out), brush his fur, and let him go outside.

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: 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: 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.

“Met Darla for the first time over Rover.com, but right off the bat, she seemed very responsible and dog loving that I had no doubt she’d take good care of our boys. She helped us on Drop In service twice a day to feed the dogs, give injections to one of them who is diabetic, and minor spot cleanings. She was very punctual and provided updates with photos in a timely manner throughout the entire 4 days we were gone. Overall she did an excellent job and would certainly recommend to other neighbors around for any petsitting needs. Thanks again, Darla!!!”


About: I grew up with dogs for 8 years. My dog is one years old, and loves to play. I can assist you with puppy training! I’m currently home all day and can watch your dog throughout the day and am also able to board as well. Weekends are slightly harder but if it works it works! I have a dog who is now one year old. He loves to play and go on walks. I also have experience with older dogs. I take my dog out for walks about every 4 hours up until bed time. Dogs are allowed to be on my couch or my bed so long as they are clean. If your dog loves to cuddle they will fit right in ❤️

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: Your doggie will receive extra care from me as I am a stay at home mom focused solely on pet sitting. We are an animal loving household in suburban Lakewood, CA with a large fenced backyard. We have a doggie door on the back door for our pups to go in and out as they please to play, run, or sunbathe (while I am home of course). I have the help of my awesome husband Ryan and our kids aged 9 and 4. They know all about how to treat pets as they have grown up with our dogs- Canela, Mia, Sarah and Tucker (Canela & Sarah have since passed away). Your pup is welcome to snuggle with us on the couch and beds wherever they are most comfortable. I have 32 years of experience taking care of pets and have a love and passion for animals. I have very much enjoyed pet sitting with Rover since joining in 2019. I have doggie beds, bowls, toys, etc. here but you are welcome to bring any items your pet may like to have during their stay. I am usually available and always flexible with scheduling a meet n greet as well as drop off and pick up times to fit your busy schedule. I know how important finding a trusted and knowledgeable caretaker is for the furry member of your family! You can rest easy knowing they are in my care with regular updates and pictures.

“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! 🐾”


Heaven L.
“Heaven is a loving pet soul. I got to know her before I adopted a little Chihuahua myself. I have seen her care for her uncles' little chihuahuas. The two little dogs adore her. She puts her heart in caring for them and not because the dogs belong to her uncle, but because she has a loving heart for pets. Throughout our friendship, I have seen her care for so many dogs. Every time she gets to care for one or two little ones, she sends me pictures of the foster dogs. I can actually see her joy and a glow on her face. She was very instrumental for the adoption of my little one, Tito. She basically convinced me of the joy a pet can bring to one's life. She is very loving and responsible with all the pets I have seen her care for. I highly recommend Heaven as a responsible pet caregiver.”


Kelis R.
“Kelis is exactly the type of person you’d trust with your pet. She’s reliable, trustworthy, and kind. She has experience working with animals and is a great pet owner herself! She’s absolutely wonderful with animals- a true testament to her ability to be both incredibly responsible and kind to the pets she cares for. As a pet owner myself, Kelis will always be my top pick. She has always treated my animals in the best manner and I can always count on her.”

Brittanie & Ryan B.

“Brittanie and Ryan are the best dog sitters we have ever had! They took care of our pups and we did not have a worry from the second they were dropped off. They followed up with regular pictures and it felt like our dogs were on vacation, too. Their son Donovan was a great helper and our dogs got along great with theirs. We will definitely use them any time we take a trip! Thanks for everything!”

Andrea is a wonderful cat sitter! She is responsive, respectful, and truly cares about the pets she looks after. One of my cats usually takes time to warm up to people, but she was very patient and gentle, always doing her best to make them feel comfortable. I really appreciated her dedication and would absolutely recommend her to others—and will definitely book her again!

Tiffany is great. We left our furry ones at home and she did three visits a day for 10 days. Gave us detailed reports with pictures, every time. My two dogs and cat loved her. We first did a meet and greet and everyone was friendly, which is very rare for my furry ones. The cat is shy and my dogs don’t really do well with strangers. Then came, Tiffany to the rescue. Got the cat to come out of his shell and treated my dog’s hotspots. Tiffany’s communication was on point, her care for our furry ones was above and beyond the expected. Would definitely recommend and hope to be a repeat customer in near future. I could now go on vacation knowing they are in great hands. We are all now team Tiffany D 🐶😻🐶

Highly recommend Emma Jean and Bryce! They are so caring with our fur babies. We are so glad we found them and being so close to us makes it very convenient. Max and Zoe were happy to have them drop by, feed them and visit with them while we were out for the day.

I absolutely love Michelle!! I'm pretty sure there isn't anyone sweeter than her! We came in for a short vacation/concert. We have anxious dogs, and thankfully she has experience with that. She was so helpful and willing to stay with our dogs the whole time we were gone. They fell in love with her!! We were able to have a great time at our event without worrying at all! I cannot recommend her enough. We have had quite a few sitters of the past few years, and she is hands-down the best!!

Philip was so good with my dog Frankie. He’s a pitbull and so some people don’t like him , but Philip was so good with Frankie! My dog LOVED Philip. He was so nice and sent me photos of my dog during their visit. I highly recommend Philip. He even took a toy from my dog when he tore it up so he didn’t swallow or choke on the pieces. 🙂🩵
