“This was my first time using Rover, and I had the pleasure of meeting Wanyao during my search. I couldn't be happier! She was absolutely wonderful with our four-legged son. He was so happy to go with her and had the biggest smile when he got home! Wanyao, thank you so much for being so sweet!”

About: I’ve cared for pets since I was a little girl and have endless love for both cats and dogs ♥️ Friends and neighbors have always trusted me to look after their fur babies while they’re away. I’m gentle, patient, and experienced with senior and special-needs cats, and I always treat every pet like my own. I work from home full time so I’m always available to care for your fur babies! that includes boarding during the week days/nights and drop in visits during the weekends. I have a big living room for pets to run around, and 2 curious/energetic cats to keep everyone entertained :) I can also often walk your dogs for potty breaks to the parks near me. It’s the same if I come over to your homes!
“Karolina was right on time for Ralphie’s 30 minute walk! And got him back on the dot. He did super well and got some of his zoomies out. Thanks so much!”

About: I’ve been providing loving and reliable pet and house sitting services in Los Angeles for over 10 years. What started as helping out close friends and neighbors has grown into a true passion for caring for animals of all kinds. I only have a cat on my own but love dogs just as much! I’ve had the pleasure of working with a wide range of dog breeds from Frenchies and Pomeranians to Labs and Pit mixes. No matter what their needs are, I make sure to take the best care of them! I have also had the pleasure to care for a range of cats, I love to see all of the different personalities that they have. I understand how important it is to feel at ease when leaving your pet in someone else’s hands. My goal is always to keep your pets happy, healthy, and comfortable, and treat them as if they were my own. I’m always happy to send regular photo updates, so you can stay connected and worry-free while you’re away. I live and work in Downtown Los Angeles, so this is also where i mainly provide my services. I work a full-time job but am flexible on hours away from home. It’s mostly remote, but i help out on site 5-6 hours about 3-4 days a week depending on what is going on each week. Since I live in the city we don’t have a yard but I am about a block from a park with a dog run as well as close to grand park. I love walking downtown. We also have a spare room in case the pet needs its own space. We’re loaded up on toys and treats for both cats and dogs.
“Almira is excellent and cares about the happiness of my dog. She was considerate enough to take my dog on the routes he enjoys and made sure to take care of him. Would definitely recommend her services.”

“Moriah had a quick response time. She was very good at communicating, leaving me at ease about using rover for the first time for my 6 month old puppy. Such a relief to know he got plenty of exercise, adventure, and potty time. I absolutely look forward and plan to use her services again.”

“Brady was awesome. We initially booked him outside of Rover, but did our last week on Rover just so we could leave him a review. He walked our dog for ~4 months, 2x/day. He was reliable and friendly. His walks were exactly as promised (30 minutes or more, always over a mile). His rates are good. We would 100% have him continue walking our dog if we weren't moving.”
“Arrived early and was able to take my shy dog on a walk with a lot of patience and gentleness. Shared detailed notes with me after the walk. Grateful to have found Nicolette!”

“Julia was great with our dog Gene this week when she needed a few walks. She took extra time to walk her and play with her outside and even gave some attention to our cats! I could tell from the pictures that our doggie just loved her. I definitely recommend Julia and hope to get to have her walk Gene again soon!”

“I had a great experience with Jason as my dog walker for Uzi. He was communicative from the start, always keeping me updated and making scheduling easy. He arrived on time, which gave me confidence and peace of mind. Jason was also very friendly and clearly attentive to Uzi’s needs. Most importantly, he made sure Uzi got plenty of exercise and came back happy and relaxed after each walk. It was clear Jason genuinely cared about my dog’s well-being, and that made all the difference. I’d definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful dog walker.”

About: I am happy to walk your pup, take them to the local dog park, and play while you are away. I have owned dogs since I was ten and currently have an adorable seven pound Yorkie who loves other dogs. I have experience with large dogs (owned two black labs) and small dogs alike. I live in a dog friendly apartment building in Little Tokyo, and am happy to send photos/videos of your pup while you're away. I am also experienced in giving medications if need be, and will work to accommodate any other needs, so feel free to reach out with questions. I work from home full-time so your dog will never be alone for very long, and I can accommodate just about any bathroom schedule they'll need. I only board one family at a time, but am willing to take multiple dogs from the same family! I am also very hygienic, smoke free, and have no children or roommates. Plenty of space in the apartment for your dog to stretch out, play, and relax. I work from home and have plenty of time to devote to your pets while you are away. I am happy to take dogs on as many walks as needed a day. I have a large dog crate if needed, a nearby dog park, and plenty of space for your dog to be comfortable in my apartment.
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and genuinely love caring for them. I grew up with several dogs, including Shih Tzus and Bichons, and friends regularly trust me with their pups. I enjoy walking and being outdoors, so walks and playtime are always part of my care. I make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m primarily available on weekends, and depending on the situation, I can also include Friday or Monday. I’m happy to discuss your schedule in advance to see what works best for you and your dog. I make sure dogs feel comfortable and have a fun, relaxed stay in my home. Walks are one of my strengths — I really enjoy walking and make sure dogs get plenty of fresh air and exercise. If walks aren’t necessary, I’m equally happy to keep things calm at home and make sure your dog feels relaxed, comfortable, and well cared for.
About: Hi! My name is Ana ☺️ (Ah-nah) I’ve been around animals my whole life, and I’ve always had an intuitive connection with dogs. I’ve raised multiple Pomeranian litters (5 puppies total🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶), cared for dogs from puppyhood (including feeding, burping, monitoring weight, etc) into their senior years, and trained my own Pom, who’s extremely sweet and veryyy well behaved. I’ve worked in healthcare and caring for others is second nature to me —-but animals bring out a level of patience and gentleness that I’m truly passionate about. I’m good at reading energy and body language, so I naturally adjust to dogs who are shy, anxious, playful, or extra energetic. Dogs feel safest around someone who stays steady and in control. I don’t panic, raise my voice, or reward bad behavior, I redirect calmly and confidently. I can match a dog’s energy within seconds … shy pups warm up to me fast, anxious dogs relax around me, and playful ones feel understood😂😊. I never force interaction; I read their cues and meet them where they’re at. It’s something I’ve had since childhood and it’s only gotten stronger over time. I’m patient and gentle, and I genuinely care for every dog like I would my own. Dogs usually bond with me quickly, and they come back excited to see me again! I take my time building trust so they feel safe, understood, and loved while they’re with me. I see dogs as the little innocent babies they are, and when you’re away, I’m here to fill that space with the same love and attentiveness they’re used to at home. Your pup won’t ever feel ignored or lacking anything here … I’m with them, present and caring, the whole time. 🫶🥹 I work part-time, which means I have plenty of time and flexibility to focus on your pets. I’m available for boarding most weekdays mornings, evenings, and weekends. Your dog will never feel rushed or ignored. I always make sure they get one-on-one attention, walks, playtime, and affection throughout the day. Either way, I can’t help myself! 🥰❤️❤️ I live in a clean, calm apartment with a secure residents-only outdoor lounge area that’s perfect for supervised fresh air and breaks. My own male Pomeranian is neutered, independent, and well-trained—he’s a sweet companion for visiting dogs, Or can be placed seperate depending upon request. I never leave pets unsupervised, and I’m very attentive to their comfort, safety, and emotional needs. I only serve clean filtered water from the fridge, not tap water. Your dog will stay in a peaceful, loving environment where they can relax, play, and feel completely safe. I follow your routines closely and communicate regularly with photos and updates so you feel connected the whole time.
About: What sets me apart is the intentional care I give every pet. I’m not just here to watch your animals — I treat them with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. Pets feel safe with me because I’m gentle, calm, and very tuned in to their energy and needs. I’ve had animals around me my entire life , not just dogs and cats, but even horses. Growing up surrounded by so many different kinds of pets taught me patience, responsibility, and how to understand animal behavior deeply. Because of that, I’m extremely comfortable with pets of all sizes, temperaments, and personalities. Animals have always been a natural part of my world, so caring for them feels effortless and genuine. I have experience with puppy care, senior pets , from slower-paced walks to administering simple medications and providing extra patience and comfort. I’ve also had experience with horses, as I was a horse rider for several years Pet care is a natural part of my daily life, especially since I work from home, which allows me to give pets consistent attention throughout the day. I make sure they get exercise, playtime, meals, and affection on a regular schedule. On a weekly basis, I focus on cleaning litter boxes, rotating toys, and monitoring behavior and health closely. Being at home lets me stay attentive and responsive, ensuring every pet feels safe, happy, and loved while fitting seamlessly into my daily routine. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I prioritize safety, comfort, and individualized attention. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special needs such as medications. I love cleaning, so keeping a clean and organized environment is very important to me. My home is an apartment with no yard, so there’s no risk of pets wandering off, and I also have inside cameras to monitor them at all times. Because I work from home, I can provide consistent supervision, respond quickly to any needs, and give pets plenty of affection and care.

“I can highly recommend Sarah. She is responsible, responsive, and an obvious pet lover. She took great care of my dog with his daily walks. Also, she provided me with the most amusing observations of everything that happened on the walks.”

“Mi-Cha-El was amazing, came in and immediately did what was asked. His communication skills are marvelous and I truly felt as if my dog was well taken care of. He has a great energy and I’m sure if you use him you and your furbaby will love him.”

Los Angeles Downtown dog parents share their Rover experiences
John was very caring and attentive to detail. I had to change the time of our walk at the last minute, and he was very flexible and accommodating, which I greatly appreciated. He went the extra mile with my pup and uploaded several photos which made me feel confident in his abilities and gave me peace of mind while I was away. Thanks so much. Would 100% recommend and will be booking again in the future.

Brady was an outstanding walker. He was reliable, prompt, and observant. He communicated daily making sure to include a photo, which was a nice touch. He also worked with my schedule which can be cumbersome to deal with. I’d definitely use him again and would recommend him to anyone looking for peace of mind while away.
