About: I’m a DTLA-based dog walker and pet sitter with a fully flexible schedule, available for weekday/weekend walks, drop-in visits, and company while you’re out. Originally from London, I bring lifelong experience with dogs, including working as a pet carer at Crufts Dog Show and caring for puppies, larger breeds, and much-loved seniors. I’ll tailor each visit to your dog’s routine, pace, and personality, with plenty of attention and photo updates along the way. - My love of dogs began at five with my beautiful chocolate Lab, who grew up alongside me for 17 wonderful years. My English Cocker Spaniel turns 10 this year, and having to leave her in the UK has meant missing her—and everyday dog companionship—terribly. - Senior dogs hold a special place in my heart, and I love making their days comfortable, happy, and full of affection. - I also cared for a friend’s 14-year-old Rottweiler/German Shepherd mix on and off for two years, giving me hands-on experience with larger dogs and the patience and understanding they need when feeling a little grumpy. Your dog’s safety and comfort come first. Before our first visit, I’ll ask about their routine, health needs, walking habits, and any triggers so I can prepare for their individual needs. I’ll keep them on a lead during walks, follow your feeding and care instructions, and check that they’re settled and your home is securely locked before leaving. You’ll receive photos and updates so you know how our time together went. I’ve recently moved from the UK and am not currently working, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your dog attention, companionship, and care. I can work around their usual routine, including walks, feeding times, playtime, and company during the day. I live in a pet-friendly apartment with no pets of my own, so your dog will have my full attention. We have a dedicated dog shower, and I’m happy to give them a bath if needed, with your permission. They’ll enjoy regular walks around the neighborhood, with exercise tailored to their age, energy, and comfort. I’ll follow your dog’s usual routine and care instructions to help them feel settled, keep them on a lead during walks, and send you regular updates and photos so you can feel reassured while you’re away.

“Saige was absolutely amazing with Snooki! From the very beginning, she was kind, communicative, and incredibly thoughtful. She kept me updated throughout the stay with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She genuinely cares so much for our fury babies. Pookie looked happy, comfortable, and well cared for, and I truly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Saige is reliable, sweet, and goes above and beyond to make both pets and their owners feel at ease. I would absolutely trust her with Snooki again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will care for their babies. Thank you so much, Saige. We appreciate you more than you know!”

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs for over 15 years and genuinely love getting to know each dog’s unique personality. Whether your pup is energetic and playful or prefers a quiet day full of cuddles, I adjust my care to make them feel comfortable and secure. I believe pets deserve patience, kindness, and lots of affection, and I treat every dog in my care as if they were my own. My goal is simple: for you to enjoy peace of mind while your dog enjoys a safe, loving home where they’ll be excited to return. Pet care is my full-time focus, so I’m home seven days a week and able to provide plenty of love, attention, and supervision. I make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and like part of the family. My dog, Milo, is my friendly little assistant and loves welcoming new furry friends. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I provide constant supervision, a clean and pet-friendly home, frequent potty breaks, daily walks, and lots of one-on-one attention. My building has a secure dog run, beautiful walking paths, and a nearby park for extra exercise and enrichment. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages throughout their stay so you always know how they’re doing.

About: Hello! When it comes to providing your pet with love and care you're looking for someone reliable and I am here to help. Over the course of my life I've provided 10 (human) years of pet care to dogs, cats, birds, fish and even the occasional hamster. I've taken dogs who were skittish on long walks without incident and shown the utmost respect to cats who prefer my presence over being touched. I know you're looking for a way to make sure your unique pet is cared for and if you'll let me know how I can help I'd like to be of service. I'm currently working remotely from home in DTLA so my schedule is my own. If you'd like your pet taken out while you're out at work I'm happy to help get you to that work/life/pet balance you're keen for. I will ask what the rules/guidelines for your pet are in your home and on your walks. I will need to know if your pet is reactive to any sort of trigger, has any medical condition or needs any medication, and I will also ask for any training your pet has undergone. In your home visits, I will keep to spaces that are acceptable and ensure your pet is safe and sound. On walks, I would like to know if you have areas you prefer to have your dog walked and if you have a interaction/no-interaction with other dogs policy for your pet. Overall, I want to know how you think about what's best for your pet and how I can make sure to maintain those standards while also respecting your time and privacy.

About: Safety first so I double checked my apartment for any hazardous items, edges, or liquids that could possibly endanger any pet! I also love taking lots of pictures with the dogs in my care. Staying active is a priority of mine so it makes it a lot more fun when I can have an active or playful pet around! I ride a skate board so it's easy for me to get around town quickly for in home visits to your pets. Spacious room is ideal for pets with their own beds or toys. I live alone so you can sure all my attention will be focused on the safety and care of your furry friends! Your pet will have my full attention as I don’t work right now I only focus on caring for pets. I also foster dogs here and there. I have plenty experience with all types of dogs and I can easily pick up on whatever your pets needs are.I always will make sure to keep you informed on our daily activities. I currently only go to school online so I will dedicate all of my time to being with the dogs in my care which makes it easier for me to keep track of any special needs your pet may need like medication or strict bathroom breaks things like that. I aim to keep the way that I care for and treat the dogs the same way that they would be treated at home so that they dont develop any inappropriate habits while they are away from home so if they aren't allowed on furniture at home ill be sure to keep them off furniture at my home so that they can stay well trained.

About: ⚠️ DUE TO UNFORESEEN CIRCUMSTANCES, I AM ONLY ABLE TO BOARD CATS FROM SEPTEMBER TO OCTOBER ⚠️ ‼️ PLEASE READ BEFORE SENDING A REQUEST‼️ Your pet will be watched by both my girlfriend and I. We will be watching them almost 24/7 unless we go out for food that does not allow pets. I sometime do have emergency remote business meetings. We also only used to taking care of healthy pets! This means that pets in my care should: 1. Be okay with staying home alone for up to 2 hours. 2. Be okay with 3 walks a day and one before bed. 3. Be house trained. 4. Not be on medication. 5. Would sometimes be picked up or dropped off by my girlfriend. ——————————————————————— Caring for dogs has never been a hobby for us - it has always been a lifelong responsibility. We provide calm, structured, home-based care and adjust our routine to match each pet’s personality and each owner's preferences. Every pet is different, and we respect their individual pace, habits, and comfort level. We will provide photos updates everyday so you can have a peace of mind that your pet is being treated the best! We take dogs out three times a day for calm dog park walks (about 30 minutes each). When caring for multiple dogs, outdoor time is provided through safe, supervised walks. We maintain a home-centered lifestyle and provide full-time supervision in a clean, stable, and loving environment. Our focus is safety, emotional stability, and consistent routine rather than chaotic, high-energy boarding. I currently have a flexible schedule where I’m working from home! My girlfriend and I will be both sitting your pet so they will be watched almost 24/7. Only time where we can not watch them would be if we were to go out for an hour or two for food! I am also available for visits and walks in the evenings during weekdays, which allows me to spend quality time with your pets after work hours when they need attention and care! On weekends, I am generally available, though I am sometimes busy Saturday mornings until around 2 pm. After that, I am available for visits, walks, and extended care. I always do my best to plan ahead and keep my schedule updated to ensure I can provide consistent and reliable care. I am happy to work with your pet’s routine and provide attentive, patient care whether your pet needs playtime, feeding, or just some extra company while you are away. Majority of our services is for pet boarding and when caring for pets, we prioritize safety, comfort, and following each owner’s instructions closely. During walks, we make sure pets are always safely leashed, avoid crowded or unsafe areas, and adjust the pace based on your pet’s energy level and needs. We also pay close attention to weather conditions and make sure pets stay comfortable and hydrated. For drop in visits, we follow your pet’s usual routine for feeding, playtime, and bathroom breaks. We also monitor for any changes in behavior or signs of discomfort and will communicate with you right away if anything seems unusual. We respect your home, keep things clean, and make sure doors, gates, and any pet areas are secure before leaving.

Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

walkers on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
