“He's working with my dog It was traumatized by being taken from my condo to the pound. I really appreciate this dog walking service I'm hoping to get my dog to realize when it's taken out it's going to come back!! Raymond was perfect!!”
“Faith was so sweet and amazing with our two dogs. We have a puppy so she was very patient, reliable, and always on time. Our dogs were always excited for walks . Couldn’t ask for a better person to trust with our dogs!”
“Very reliable!”
“Thank you Marylin! Have the best birthday and thank you for helping with Elote as we were out! 🥳🥳”
“Alan is the first dog walker our dog Cooper has ever had, and he did an amazing job helping us and Cooper feel like we were in good hands from day one. Our dog is very shy but took to Alan right away. We love all the photos Alan takes on their walks and seeing how happy Cooper is when he comes back. Couldn't recommend Alan more!”
About: I have been a parent to my dog Banjo for four years, starting when she was 3 months old. After having Banjo, I began to dog sit for two of my family's neighbors, who we are close to. In my experience, I have been efficient in dog walking, visits to the house every couple of hours, senior dogs (giving correct medication dosages), overnight sitting, and housesitting (watering plants + collecting mail). I am currently a college student at Cal State Long Beach and since focusing simply on school, I have more free time on my hands. I am free on weekends and Tuesdays/Thursdays from morning to noon. Inside the house I will make sure to keep my full attention on your dog in order to make sure they have all their needs taken care of. When on a walk I am good at keeping a dog close to me and staying vigilant since my own dog is known to bark and pull a lot.
“Cassandra was a great and friendly walker, she and our pup had a good stroll around the neighborhood!”
“Jennifer was patient and kind with my dog. She was able to drop in on short notice as well. I appreciate her updates and the time she took with him.”
“Pilar was very communicative, and took great care of our dog Tyson. I could tell from the pictures that he had a nice long walk! We would love to book Pilar again in the future.”
About: Taken care of animals since I can remember (bunnies, dogs, cats). Volunteered with shelters and adoption events too. Neighbors, friends and family rely on me to care for their pets day or night- I absolutely LOVE spending time with animals and giving them all the attention they deserve. Currently have a senior German shepherd/lab breed named YOLO!! I am a full time college student who’s semester just ended so I have my schedule wide open to take care of your pups any day any time!! Since I will be caring for pets in your homes I will abide by any instructions provided. If they can be let loose and roam around we can do that! Need them in the crate? That can be done too. Anything you need from me can and will be done :)
About: Hello, I am a mature adult (graduate of Cal State Fullerton) and a responsible small business owner trying to supplement my income, it’s been rough these past couple years for small businesses. I will be willing to provide my business address and contact information to make you feel more comfortable, know I am trustworthy, and know where you can find me if any issues arise. As a past pet owner, I know having as much information on a stranger staying in your home would have made me feel more secure about hiring a pet sitter/pet walker. I am an experienced past pet owner of 25 years, I have had pets most of my life. I can provide walking, sitting, or pet care in your own home. I love all animals and love dogs of all sizes, breeds, and ages. I can also perform baths, light grooming, walking, food prep, and administer medication. In addition to caring for your four-legged family members, I am very responsible, reliable, and trustworthy. I will treat you the way I want to be treated in my business and my home. I love all animals and I am very comfortable with all animals. I am currently a responsible small business owner and I set my own hours and I can be flexible with schedules. I am reliable, dependable, and trustworthy. Unfortunately, I am not allowed to have pets in my building so all pet care will have to be in your home. I will treat your home with the upmost respect, follow all directions, and leave your home clean and neat.
About: I grew up with dogs in the family. We had Golden Retrievers, Yellow Lab, Golden Lab, and German Shepherds throughout my life. I love dogs and always want to play with them when I see them out and about. I still help my sisters take care of their dogs. I really care about animals and believe they can read our emotions. I pay attention to their needs and temperaments opposed to just walking them or dogsitting. They can completely change your mood and they know when you need it. I wish I could have a dog. I am available nights and weekends. I currently work hybrid so I am in OC MWF and at home Tu/Th. When working in OC I get back to LB around 5PM. Perfect time for a dog walk! I am unable to care for pets in my home. I can care for dogs in the owners home and use a crate or whatever is needed.

“Natasha did a fantastic job taking care of my puppy! She was kind and flexible with our last minute changes, we appreciate all the help she gave us and I would highly recommend her! 12 out of 10 experience!”
About: Watching other people’s fur babies while I work seemed like the perfect way for an animal lover to keep up with the cost of living in LA! I am here mostly for the chance to cuddle other people’s wonderful adorable pets and tell each and everyone that they are the cutest in the world (as long as they don’t tell my cat I said so)!!! Feel free to say hi and ask any questions you have! I work from home so I’m free to hang out with the fur babies pretty much all day while I work. And if you need someone last minute or even same day if I am a good bet. I’m not sure what else to say but this thing has a minimum word requirement so I’m just going to : ruff ruff meowwwwww. (Don’t read that allowed to the dogs. I probably just said some very bad words on accident. I was taught by my cat and my dog accent is terrible.) My boyfriend and I are both tour guides so we are usually scheduled opposite days so there is always someone home with any visiting fur babies. Care depends on needs of the pet as they usually have varying level of needs depending on their temperaments and beds. I like to give them a safe space and distance if they are shy or all the cuddles if they are cuddly or lots of activity if they have the zoomies and energy.
“Kelly was great at communicating and sending a lot of updates and pictures. Our doggo warmed up to her quickly and we love that she felt loved and cared for while we were gone.”
“I’ve used Gabriela twice now and she walks my little girl every week. She’s done a great job so far, on time, super nice, and great photos! Thank you!”
About: Hello! I’ve worked at two doggie daycare/boarding facilities since 2020, working with small and large dog groups, including specialty one-on-one care. At my current job, I focus on feedings, medications, group enrichment activities and agility/basic obedience training. I have also been a kitten/cat foster parent since April 2020. Care has included bottle & syringe feeding, medication/vaccines, Pet care is a major factor in my daily/weekly routine. I work full time as a dog yard attendant and BOH supervisor at a doggie theme park, training, & boarding facility and have two cats at home. My partner and I also foster kittens through rescues in the LB area I can easily crate dogs if needed and have no problem handling dogs of any size. If the dog needs to come into my home for any reason, I can separate my cats into another room.

“Madeline was an absolutely fantastic dog sitter! She stayed at our home and took great care of Buster while we were away. From the beginning, she was communicative, responsible, and very friendly. She made sure to follow all our care instructions and sent us regular updates with pictures, which really helped us feel at ease. Buster clearly loved spending time with her — we could tell he felt comfortable and well-loved the entire time. We came back to a happy pup and a spotless home. Madeline went above and beyond, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to others. Thank you so much, Madeline!”

Keli J.
“I can’t recommend Keli J. enough as a pet sitter and dog walker! She’s one of the most loving and attentive pet people I know. Keli had a Shih Tzu for 15 years, and the bond they shared was something special—her pup was truly family. Whether it was going for walks, playtime, or just cuddling on the couch, Keli always made sure her dog felt safe, happy, and deeply loved. She’s incredibly responsible, gentle, and has a natural sense for what animals need. You can trust that your pet will not only be well cared for, but genuinely cherished while in her hands. If you’re looking for someone who treats your pets like her own, Keli is the one.”

Los Altos dog parents share their Rover experiences
Tanya was a huge help with a last minute care need for my dog Grace. She listened to our needs and ensured Grace was taken care of in the best way possible.
Always goes above and beyond! Couldn’t trust anyone else with my fur babies💕 no doubt, the very best! Highly recommend.
Julie was amazing! Bibi looked happy, and content during all the visits. Bibi can be hard to walk but Julie handled her with ease and confidence.
Karen has walked my pup now for about 5 months- I’ve remained impressed with her reliability and level of care. My dog just loves her. Highly recommend to others!!
Alan is the first dog walker our dog Cooper has ever had, and he did an amazing job helping us and Cooper feel like we were in good hands from day one. Our dog is very shy but took to Alan right away. We love all the photos Alan takes on their walks and seeing how happy Cooper is when he comes back. Couldn't recommend Alan more!
Arrived on time with pleasant attitude was very friendly to owner and dog. Dog liked her (as did owners). Walk went well. Happy dog.
Earl is great! He was so patient and attentive. Especially appreciative since my dog is a foster and needs a little reassurance when meeting a new friend
Can’t go wrong with Luka. He outs both his energy and passion into your puppy and our dog absolutely loves spending time with him and we know she’s in good hands with him and can be worry and stress free regardless if it’s a walk, dog sitting or just a play date.
Tyler is an amazing dog walker/pet sitter. My golden retriever 1 year old puppy is high energy and even had a broken toe for 8 weeks and Tyler was super attentive and responsive. He wrote amazing notes about the walks and Sully is always happy to see him. Tyler is always able to step in, even for my last minute requests and you can tell he really cares about the dogs he walks. I HIGHLY recommend Tyler for you pet walking/sitting needs!
MARIJO is amazing. She facilitated a walk from my fur baby with zero notice. Highly recommend and will definitely book again!
Great first meet and greet. We appreciate your timely arrival and your patience with Freja. Thank you CJ.
I couldn’t recommend Jessica more! She came over for a meet and greet since I’m not home during the walking times I needed and she is just great! She was very sweet and friendly to not only me, but my dog as well!! She sent lots of pictures and kept me posted, which is very appreciated! I was nervous to give a stranger the key to my home but Jessica has a great vibe and I fully trust her with both my key and my pup
I have nothing but a great experience with Kendall. He is awesome and the way he responds and take care of the dog. It’s truly a blessing thank you so much and I really appreciate you. I’m so excited. I so happy to have found you and my dog just loves you.
Shea was very responsible, professional and dependable. She was great with my dog and communicated with me all the time. My dog really liked her and enjoyed spending time with her. I highly recommend her and would definitely use her services again.
Juan is an incredibly sweet and caring person! He responded promptly, was attentive to my dog’s special needs, and it’s clear he truly loves animals. He was always punctual and very accommodating. I would absolutely trust him to care for my dog again. Highly recommended!
