“Christian is an excellent Rover! She has watched our cat twice now and he has had a great experience both times. We greatly appreciate the number of pictures and detailed reviews she provides us and highly recommend her to other.”


“I feel very confident leaving my pets with Laura. She send us thorough and reliable updates that put us at ease. We feel very grateful to have found Laura and will definite requesting her services again! Would not hesitate to recommend Laura.”



“Lindsay is reliable, dependable and responsive. She always sends extensive reports for her drop in visits. We love her and highly recommend her!”


“Michelle was amazing with my dogs! She came and did extra long drop in visits and made sure not only the dogs were good but cleaned up the back yard daily too! I will definitely be using her again soon!”


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.

“Brittany was so sweet and wonderful! She took care of our Golden while we were away and was so accommodating to our schedule. She is so great with dogs and we could tell immediately that our dog would be comfortable with her. She took him on long walks, played with him, and made sure he was happy while we were away. Thank you again! Would highly recommend Brittany to anyone in need of a dog sitter!”


“We were so grateful to have Jennylyn take care of our cat while we were out of town. She responded to our messages promptly and kept us updated with regular photos and reports. Our cat can be quite sassy, mischievous, and not always friendliest, but Jennylyn was very patient and handled things wonderfully. We felt at easy knowing our cat was in great hands. We'd definitely book with Jennylyn again and recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter.”


“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: 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.

“Always amazing, the best!!”


“Jackie is the best. She’s super patient and understanding. Ribbon is not the easiest and Dallas is a spunky puppy. But she takes the time to make sure they’re taken care of.”


“Mireya took great care of our baby while we were on vacation..sent photos and updates while we were away”


“Sophia was very easy to work with, she was super sweet to my pup and granted all my requests during her visit. She communicates well before and during the visit. Would definitely work with her again!”


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: With 8 years of hands-on experience, I’ve had the joy of feeding, walking, and playing with dogs of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. I’m comfortable with a wide variety of breeds and love each one like they’re my own. Whether your pup is playful, shy, energetic, or cuddly, I provide attentive, loving care tailored to their needs. I work from home so I am able to watch over the pups and take them out to go potty every 4-5 hours! Also, I am able to walk the pups in the morning and early evening so they can get their sniff on. We have a gated backyard with a grass that the pups can run around freely. We do spray the grass so minimize the spread of fleas! We also have a shaded area in the backyard where the pups can cool off if the sun gets too hot!

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: 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: 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: Cats and large dogs have been a part of my life since I was a child and have added small dogs to my life the last decade. I am adept at interacting and caring for all size pets. I love animals and will cherish your furry family members. I am a full-time high school teacher but am free during summer months and would love to spend my spare time with animals. Love to take dogs on walks, play with them and give cuddle time to them as well as kitties. I am available almost every day from 9am to 9pm beginning June 23-August 18. I can come to your home to feed, walk, play and cuddle your furry family members. I have three pets myself so I will not be able to bring them to my home nor pet sit at your home.

Jacklyn C.
“Jacklyn cared for my dog recently and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the moment we met, it was clear they are incredibly organized and truly love dogs. They followed all of my instructions to the letter, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. Their home is clean, welcoming, and perfect for pets. The backyard is especially nice—spacious, grassy, and secure—giving the dogs plenty of room to play and relax. It’s obvious that Jacklyn has experience with dog care; they were attentive, communicative, and genuinely cared about my dog’s comfort and well-being. An added bonus: their own dogs are absolutely adorable and super friendly, which made the environment even more comforting for my pup. I would absolutely recommend Jacklyn to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and responsible dog sitter!”

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! 😊”
