About: I’ve spent my whole life surrounded by animals and genuinely love caring for dogs of all personalities. Friends call me their dog’s favorite “aunt” because pups tend to feel comfortable and attached to me right away. I live in a peaceful Malibu beachside home with ocean breezes, nearby trails, and mountain views. Dogs here enjoy daily walks, fresh air, plenty of rest, and a calm, cozy space with lots of natural light. My home is safe, comfortable, and perfect for dogs who love both gentle adventure and deep relaxation. Having a pet fits naturally into my daily routine. I work from home and create my own schedule, which allows me to be present and attentive throughout the day rather than stepping in and out. I’m active and spend a lot of time outdoors, so walks, beach time, and light hikes are already part of my daily rhythm. Your dog would be included in these routines in a way that feels balanced and appropriate for their energy level. Because I’m home most of the day, dogs are rarely left alone, and I can easily accommodate feeding schedules, potty breaks, medication, and quiet rest time. My week is intentionally structured to allow space for care, movement, and consistency, so pet sitting never feels rushed or secondary. Overall, pet care integrates seamlessly into my lifestyle, allowing me to offer calm, reliable, and hands-on attention every day. I care for every dog as if they were my own. My Malibu home is calm, clean, and intentionally set up to be safe and comfortable for dogs. I keep doors secured, maintain a tidy, pet-friendly space, and always supervise during indoor and outdoor time. My home has lots of natural light, cozy resting areas, and a peaceful atmosphere that helps dogs settle in easily. Daily care is tailored to each dog’s needs, whether that’s trail walks, beach walks, playtime, or plenty of rest. I stick closely to your dog’s routine for feeding, walks, and any special instructions, and I’m attentive to behavior, energy levels, and comfort at all times. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space, follow instructions carefully, and maintain consistency so dogs feel secure in their familiar environment. Communication is important to me, and I’m happy to share updates and photos so you always feel confident and at ease while your dog is in my care.

Debora was excellent, friendly, and accommodated me under short time constraints (and great stress for me) when another pre-booked Rover sitter became unresponsive. So glad I found her! Great communication with updates and photos out me at ease when I was traveling! A+++

About: I’ve taken care of small and big dogs since I was 8! I know how to provide a safe and fun environment to dogs to make them feel happy & fulfilled! Part-time job, so I have all weekend to tend to dog and cat sitting as it is something I genuinely love to do, because I love animals! I have one fixed male cat currently! He is super friendly to cats AND dogs! He is curious and playful but will mind space for shy animals.

Thank you so much, Kate (Emma), for taking such wonderful care of my dear, sweet chocolate lab! You are awesome! Kate followed my written instructions, arrived on time, sent lovely pictures, spent quality time with my pup, and left me detailed notes. I felt completely at ease knowing Kate was taking care of my dog. She is very kind and truly loves dogs. She has a peace about her that dogs love! My pup and I can't wait for her to visit again! If you're looking for a loving person to care for your dog, I highly recommend Kate/Emma!

About: I bring both experience and heart to pet care. I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all breeds and ages, and currently volunteering at Eastwood Ranch Foundation Animal Rescue, where I support animals recovering from neglect or adjusting to new environments while I'm not busy being a college professor. I’m attentive to detail, dependable, and comfortable caring for puppies, seniors, and pets with special needs. My goal is to make your pets feel secure and loved and to give you total peace of mind while you’re away. I’m available Mondays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays during the day and evening. On Tuesdays through Thursdays, I’m flexible before 8 AM and after 5 PM. I’m happy to work around your schedule whenever possible to make sure your pets get the care they need.. I prioritize safety, comfort, and a calm environment for every pet in my care. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home (cats only due to landlord's preferences) or visiting yours (dogs or cats), I make sure they have a secure space, fresh water, regular meals, and plenty of attention and playtime. I stick to routines, monitor their well-being closely, and adjust to each pet’s personality and needs, from playful pups to senior or anxious pets. My goal is to make them feel safe, loved, and stress-free while you’re away.

About: I’ve been taking care of cats and dogs since I was a kid. I also have been fostering cats and dogs for the past decade. I’ve taken care of animals with disabilities, seniors, and puppies / kittens :) I’m a photographer so my schedule is pretty free. Most days I am at home working on the computer, which makes it easy to spend time with your pups :) I’m a very loving pet sitter. I know basic training and will take them on really fun walks. They will also get all the cuddles!

About: Hi,my partner and I have cared for dogs, cats and other pets for a long time. She has over 20 years of professional grooming and boarding experience, I personally have cared for them for over 15 years. Together we will care for your precious furry companion(s). We both work at home so we are available to care for them. Family, friends and clients have all relied on us to take care of their pets from checking in with them, feeding, walking, playing, grooming/ bathing and taking care of them. We love pets and animals, they are a big part of our life’s. We look forward to meeting you and your furry companion(s). My partner and I are very active, and daily walks and hikes are a regular part of our routine—so your furry friend will always get plenty of exercise and outdoor time. With both of us sharing pet care responsibilities, we’re able to keep a flexible schedule and make sure every dog enjoys quality time, attention, and activity throughout the day. Your best friend won’t miss a single walk, adventure, or opportunity to burn off energy. Every day with us is an adventure your dog will love. We kick things off with an energizing morning walk through beautiful Agoura Hills, letting your pup take in all the sights, smells, and fresh air. After breakfast and a cozy rest, the fun begins—outdoor play sessions, plenty of space to explore, and lots of one-on-one attention throughout the day. Whether your dog loves to run, play, or simply relax, we keep their routine engaging, balanced, and full of joy. By the end of the day, you’ll pick up a happy, tired, and completely satisfied pup.

About: I go by Belle. I am a pre veterinary college student and I have interned at 2 pet clinics for school. I can read body language of dogs and cats to almost perfection. I’ve worked with big animals as well; sheep, goats, chickens, cows, and horses (which I am open to looking after if you have any). I also have a steady hand in basic dog training being an American Akita owner myself. If you need someone to look after your fish as well do not panic, I can do that too. I am a college student so I do have an odd schedule. I am available in the afternoon from Sunday to Thursday. I can only work afternoons on Friday but I am available all day on Saturdays. If your dog is +100 lbs I would prefer to use a gentle leader head halter or a provided training leash/collar on them for safety reasons.

Oli was able to accommodate my cat last minute while I was moving. My kitty tends to be nervous around new people and places, and Oli definitely helped her feel comfortable and safe (as evidenced by the cute pics she sent throughout her stay!). I’m super grateful to Oli and the care she gave my Josephine, highly highly recommend!! Her dog Benji is also a sweetheart :)

About: Animals are my lifelong passion and I can’t wait to share that passion with your pets! I’ve had plenty of personal experience around dogs, having had a couple dogs for eight years and being surrounded by other people’s dogs, even watching them. I am also a dog volunteer at an animal shelter. I love a little bit outside of LA. When I board any pets, it will only be from the same household. I will treat them like they are my own, and give them two walks a day. I will also be home with them most, if not all, of the time. There will be lot of play and snuggle time. I have always loved all animals, so I will treat them with attentive care. Right now I have a pretty flexible schedule since I am a freelancer, so I’ll have plenty of time to watch, and play with, your pets durning the week. I have a fenced yard and a friendly senior dog to keep your pups company. They’ll never be outside or alone together without supervision, and I can leave them in crates if necessary.

About: I love all animals and believe they aren’t just pets but also family. I have quite a bit of experience with all kinds of animals, some even exotic due to getting to volunteer at the Westmeister farm in ohio! I am available everyday but Tuesdays and Sundays! I typically am very flexible and will make a point to stay connected so that there are no last minute changes. I want your pet to feel comfortable with me and part of that is by their routine, I will always follow what the dog is used to and make sure they get lots of love!!

About: I am a full time house/pet sitter! I love the life of taking care of people's homes and beloved animals. I raised my family with tons of pets - dogs, cats, frogs, fish, lizards, snakes, hamsters, etc. I now care for others' in the same way as if they were my own - with complete care and love. I have been on a different app with over thirty 5 star reviews. I am new to this one! You won't be disappointed by giving me the opportunity. :) I work remotely for an organization that specializes in walking alongside foster care youth that are aging out of the system. I can be anywhere to do my job! So I have lots of time to be present for your animals. I am very flexible - accommodating what I do to be in line with the pets' routines and needs. Giving medicine, caring for aging animals with gentleness, lots of play time and cuddle time. I also leave a home as clean (or often more clean!) as when I arrived. Being respectful of others' privacy comes naturally to me and it is something I take seriously.

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, personalities, and backgrounds—from energetic puppies to shy, anxious rescues. My experience includes feeding routines, long walks, playtime, basic medication administration, and following detailed care instructions to a T.I specialize in caring for dogs who need a little extra patience—whether they’re shy, anxious, or seniors. I never rush introductions and take the time to let each dog warm up to me naturally. I understand that pets are family, and I treat them as such—with kindness, respect, and lots of love. I also have experience managing multiple dogs at once, sticking to structured routines, and adjusting my care style to meet the needs of each unique pup. Pet care is a natural and fulfilling part of my weekly routine. Whether it's morning walks, drop-in visits, or extended stays, I build my schedule around the pets I care for to make sure they get the attention, structure, and love they need. I treat each visit as quality time—whether it's playtime, feeding, or simply offering companionship to an anxious pup. It's something I genuinely enjoy and make a consistent priority in my week. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I aim to maintain their routine as closely as possible to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I follow all care instructions carefully—feeding schedules, walk times, medication, and any special needs. I always make sure pets get plenty of attention, affection, and exercise, and I keep the home tidy and respectful while I'm there. Whether it's a quick drop-in or an overnight stay, I treat every home and every pet like they’re my own.

About: I’ve been caring for pets and homes for over a decade, starting with friends and family and now through professional platforms. My primary goal is always to ensure your pet and home are watched over with the utmost care. My clients always come home to happy pets, a clean house, and everything running just the way they left it. I’m experienced with dogs and cats of all ages and personalities: shy, quirky, energetic, senior, or somewhere in between! I've worked with geckos, fish, and a pig, too. I’m comfortable with medications, special diets, multi-pet households, and sticking to detailed routines. I’ll always reference my checklist so nothing gets missed, and I’ll follow your home guide closely so your pet’s day feels familiar and steady. I take a calm, patient approach, and most pets warm up to me surprisingly fast. Whether that means yard play, structured walks, or quiet companionship, I match their energy and give them the kind of day they’re used to. I travel full-time and work remotely on my own projects, so my schedule is flexible and easy to plan around your pet’s needs. I’m not running in and out, heading to an office, or juggling a busy local routine; I’m usually nearby and available. That means consistent feeding times, plenty of attention and company throughout the day. I can adapt to active dogs who love walks or keep things calm for pets who simply like someone around. Your home and pet routines come first. I keep a light footprint, stick to your systems, and handle the everyday things like bringing in packages, managing trash, and keeping the house looking lived-in. I’ll take care of the small stuff without needing reminders and send daily updates and photos so you always know how things are going. Here are a few words directly from pet parents: “Jesse was an excellent pet/house sitter. He was reliable, communicated well & gave me daily updates.” “Jesse is friendly and personable to visit with. We would highly recommend.” “He did a great job of caring for my two cats and the house. He sent photos every day.” “Jesse took great care of our home, and I would absolutely love to connect with him again in the future.” “I haven’t seen Olaf being that comfortable that quick with anybody in a while… Don’t hesitate to accept his application!” Several clients have even mentioned they didn’t worry at all while they were away, and that’s exactly the experience I aim to provide.
