About: I’ve had 2 large dogs, 3 cats, and 2 bunnies my whole life! I’m ready and excited for whatever gets thrown at me! I love playing and caring for your pets probably more than they do haha Because I finished my major at Pepperdine i’m looking for things to fill my time while paying my bills, walking, playing, and caring for your animals brings joy to me I have a pretty flexible schedule with school so we can work together to figure out a plan that will work for both of us!

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+++

Danika is amazing. She was great with all our dogs, professional, kind, on time, and sent some great Rover cards. I would trust Danika with my dogs a hundred times over. Book her, you won’t be disappointed. Thank you Danika!

About: I have extensive experience in both training puppies and providing compassionate senior care. Whether your furry friend needs basic obedience training or your elderly pet requires extra attention and gentle handling, I ensure a safe and nurturing environment. I am currently a college student who works remote. I have plenty of time for your furry companions and love to hang out with animals. I have a patio in my room and my apartment is located on the first floor. Easy access outside! I will keep up with any training that you need!

About: Premium care for premium pups! -Please do not reach out to us unless your profile is completed in its’ entirety and that your dog’s information page is complete with photos, details on demeanor/temperament and their vet information. Read through our entire profile before reaching out as all of our details and prices will be outlined here.- Ferdelle and David recently moved from the heart of Downtown Napa with our two dogs Bruce Wayne and Anderson Pooper to Point Dume in Malibu. If you’re in need of a last minute walk, our schedules are really great for accommodating your schedule. Our dog care involves lots of love, keeping your dog safe and on top of their training and fun socializing with our friendly dog-children (if we are lucky enough to dog sit for you!) If you’re here visiting our beautiful area and have plans that can’t include your doggies, bring them to us and we will take care of them while you have a fantastic time out. Again, our schedules are happy to accommodate you and your plans. Our two dogs: Anderson Pooper (Labradoodle Bichon rescue) and Bruce Wayne (mini schnauzer). Our dogs are friendly and we are adamant on their training and good behavior. Anderson Pooper who is sweet and docile and is more like a cat than anything. He was a stray in Van Nuys and we adopted him in May 2018 and we love him so much. I spent a lot of time training him when we first got him, so thanks for Cesar Milan i’ve got the whole dog behavior and dog training thing under my belt. Pooper learned how to shake paw in under 10 minutes! My husband is in real estate and I am a writer, audiobook narrator, and actor. We both absolutely love animals and would love to take care of yours! I narrate audiobooks from my home studio. I write and when i’m not directing (most recently a play in Santa Monica) or at rehearsals. I am home, at pilates, PT, the beach or doing self-care. I work remotely and am home most, if not all, of the day. David and I take turns as our dogs are never home alone for more than several hours at a time. We watch our dogs closely. We treat all animals like they are our own and are family: safety, kindness and with lots of love. Training is important but our two year old puppy, who is a Mini Schnauzer, likes to bark to tell everyone hello and that he exists — so don’t be alarmed if he startles you, he is learning how to use his voice. He’s just eager and loving and was raised in a pandemic so he’s, ahem, socially awkward but totally sweet. Info on Doggy Day Care: We accept non-shedding, hypoallergenic dogs only up to 25 lbs. They must be house broken, get along with other smaller dogs, no history of aggression, no anxiety. Our day rate is $150 with a $15 additional per hour after an 8 hour mark. We are very flexible seeing as people like to enjoy their time in Malibu and we are fine to accommodate that, it’s a pleasure for us to have another dog in our home (I would love a third dog but David says 2 is enough. Ha. So this allows for the best of both worlds.) Remember to bring anything your dog might need to feel at home: a crate or bed, their favorite treats, their leash, harness and poop bags, and their bowls and meals. We have a doggy water fountain here and several water dispensers in different rooms of our house, so don’t worry about water. Your pup is safe with us.

Kayla dropped in for two days- four visits, at my home to watch my doggie while I was away. I felt complete trust and confidence in Kayla when I met her. She took loving care of my Labrador and followed the instructions I left perfectly. She updated me on all details , took amazing pics of my dog and made sure she was happy and safe on her walks and when they returned. I’m so glad we found Kayla to take care of our lab while we were away ! I hope she is able to return for future drop-in’s. I highly recommend her !

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!

This was our second time working Zoe. She is was lovely to work with the first time and as someone who is an anxious dog mom, Zoe helps me feel like my baby is being taken care of! She sends photos and updates throughout the visit and is gentle when approaching typically wary dog. I highly recommend her!

Such a great experience. I knew reading the bio I wanted to book Belle. She was prompt, efficient, and communication was seamless from start to finish. Everything felt easy and handled with care. I really appreciated how smooth the whole process was and my dogs were happy and well cared for. Would absolutely book again.

About: 've had dogs my entire life, including two beloved Boston Terriers, and caring for animals has always been second nature to me. Over the years, I've dog sat for friends, family, and neighbors, caring for pups of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Whether your dog loves long walks, endless games of fetch, or being a professional couch cuddler, I'm happy to match their energy. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I'm highly organized and experienced at balancing a busy schedule. I plan my days carefully and make sure I have dedicated time for walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention. Whether it's an early morning walk, midday check-in, or evening cuddle session, I enjoy building my schedule around the pets I'm caring for. I care for pets by keeping their routine consistent and making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable in their own home. I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special needs like medication or extra attention. I also have house sitting experience, so I’m comfortable staying in a client’s home, keeping things tidy and secure, and making sure pets have companionship and care throughout the day. I treat every home and pet with respect, as if they were my own. I can also host pets in my home, which has a small fenced yard for safe outdoor play, as well as a park in walking distance.

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’ve grown up in a household with dogs my entire life and have extensive experience caring for pets’ daily needs, including feeding, walking, playtime, and providing plenty of attention and affection. I also have experience cat sitting and understand the importance of maintaining a pet’s routine while their owners are away. I lead an active lifestyle and enjoy running, hiking, and long walks, so I’m happy to provide dogs with any exercise and enrichment they might need. I also have experience caring for senior and special-needs pets, including my family's deaf dog, which taught me the importance of adapting to each pet’s unique needs. As an incoming senior at UCLA, I am responsible, organized, and communicative. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, which is why I like to schedule a meet-and-greet beforehand whenever possible. This allows me to get to know your pet’s personality, routine, and any special care instructions so I can provide the best experience possible. I'm also a big believer in keeping pet parents updated, and since I'm usually glued to my phone anyway, you can count on prompt communication and plenty of photos during any visits I have with your pet. I treat every animal as if they were my own and strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. As a Starbucks lover, I'm always happy to treat a well-behaved pup to a pup cup during an outing or walk if that's something they're allowed to enjoy! I’m currently working part-time and have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable pet care throughout the week. I can accommodate feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and check-ins, and I always make sure pets receive plenty of attention and care while their owners are away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, exercise needs, medications (if needed), and any specific instructions you provide. Having grown up with both dogs and cats, I understand that every pet has a unique personality and comfort level. I will keep your home and pet secure, provide regular updates, and make sure your pet feels cared for and loved while you’re away.

About: The last two dogs I had were the best pets I've ever had, one in particular I took everywhere, hiking, running, swimming and even to play basketball. I even took her halfway up Mt. Diablo one time. I feel like every dog owner should expose their dogs to many outside environments, something other than there backyard or house. The only regrets I have about my past ownership is not taking my dogs out everyday. As an owner I believe that dogs should be treated more than just a convenient stress reliever. Dogs can be your closest friend so they ought to be cared for and treated like a great one. What I bring to the table is a genuine love for all dogs and an understanding of their needs. I can be fairly flexible on weekdays for visits and walks, but am mostly available only in the afternoon. Weekends, I am pretty much always available. House sits I can do any day of the week. To start off, I always start off by caring for the pet as outlined by the owner (routines, feeding schedules, medications, things to avoid, walks). But in addition to that, I like to have some fun with the dogs that I sit. I will play with them a bit and in general just hang out with them.
