“Andrea is a great companion for our dogs when we go out of town. She is a great communicator and lets us know how they're doing throughout our time away. She is also very respectful of our home and leaves it in excellent condition. Highly recommend her services!”

“Chyna is an excellent dog sitter. She watched my Frenchie for a week and he has a very particular set of instruction due to some health issues that Chyna followed to a tee. I highly recommend her. Thank you!!”

“Tyler was excellent with our girl. Bella gets sad when we are not home but Tyler's patients and compassion with her helped her through it. I especially loved the updates with pictures; this help me relax knowing she was ok and in good hands. We will be using her again for sure.”

“Eva was so loving to our dog while we were away. We were able to relax and enjoy our trip without worrying about our pup. She was very responsible, reliable, and communicative. We will definitely be reaching out to her again!”

About: I specialize in caring for calm, well-trained, highly independent pets while maintaining a clean, organized, and well-cared-for home. My goal is to follow your pet’s established routine and provide consistent, dependable care while you’re away. I’m a great fit for households with pets that are well-mannered, comfortable with their routines, and able to settle independently. I focus on maintaining the environment your pets are already familiar with, ensuring they remain safe, comfortable, and cared for throughout your absence. As a full-time traveling house sitter that has cared for 25+ homes, pet care is a central part of my daily routine. I intentionally schedule my days around each pet’s established feeding, exercise, play, and care routines while maintaining the home as if it were my own. Because this is my full time focus, I’m able to provide consistent attention, adapt to each household’s preferences, and ensure pets receive dependable care throughout my stay. House and pet sitting gives me the ability to experience new environments while maintaining structure and consistency in my daily life. I genuinely enjoy the companionship and presence of pets in the home. I like learning their personalities, how different animals and breeds interact with their environment, and what helps them feel comfortable and at ease. I also enjoy play, interaction, and building a calm, steady presence with them during a sit. I provide structured, routine based care including feeding, walking, playtime, enrichment, and oral medication when it can be given with ease and cooperation. I value calm, stable home environments with clear instructions and consistent routines. I do best in well maintained, organized homes that are clutter free, odor free, clean, and with minimal excess pet hair buildup. I also appreciate the use of air purifiers when available. While I work remotely and am primarily at home, my work includes focused independent periods, and I check in on pets throughout the day as part of their routine care. A video call (Zoom or Google Meet) is required prior to confirming a sit to ensure a mutual fit for both home and pet care expectations. I appreciate homeowners who are familiar with my profile and come prepared with any questions as well. I am not a fit for: • Highly Velcro pets requiring constant proximity or attention • Aggressive behavior toward humans or other animals • Physical force based handling, training, or behavior modification responsibilities • Daily intensive mess cleanup or unmanaged accidents • Co-sleeping (pets must sleep independently in their own space outside the bedroom) • Frequent last minute changes, unclear schedules, or unstable routines I value clear communication, respectful, hospitable, and well structured sits.

“Victoria was awesome! She was just what our pups needed while we were away and we felt very safe with her staying in our home. I hope that we found our go-to sitter when we travel in the future!!”

About: Hi, I’m Leisa. I provide both in-home dog sitting and care in my home for clients who want their dogs to feel comfortable, settled, and well cared for. While I’m new to Rover, I’ve been caring for dogs through my personal network for years, often on a repeat and referral basis. I’m experienced with larger breeds and very comfortable maintaining established routines, whether that’s walks, feeding schedules, or simply keeping things consistent so your dog feels at ease. I’m also comfortable administering medications when needed and have experience doing so with care and attention to detail. I offer sitting in your home, or boarding for small to medium dogs in mine. I’m happy to talk through which option would be the best fit based on your dog’s temperament and needs. I’m naturally attentive and detail-oriented, and I take that responsibility seriously whether I’m in someone else’s home or caring for a dog in mine. I follow instructions closely, keep spaces clean and organized, and make sure your dog receives the right balance of exercise, attention, and quiet time based on their individual needs. I also understand how important it is to feel confident while you’re away. I keep communication clear and consistent, with regular updates so you always know how things are going. I tend to have a calm presence, and dogs usually settle in quickly with me. I take the time to understand their temperament and adjust my approach so they feel secure and well cared for. If it feels like a fit, I’m always happy to meet for a quick meet and greet so you can feel completely comfortable before booking. I work from home, so pet care fits very naturally into my day. I’m able to be present, attentive, and flexible with walks, feeding, and general care throughout the day rather than needing to leave dogs alone for long periods. My schedule allows me to maintain a consistent routine, which I find helps dogs settle in more easily and feel comfortable. I’m also able to adjust based on each dog’s needs, whether that’s more activity, more downtime, or a bit of both. For in-home sitting, I’m very respectful of your space and follow your routines closely so your dog experiences as little disruption as possible. If I’m caring for a dog in my home, I have a small outdoor area and live on a walk street with a steady flow of people and dogs passing by. Because of that, I’m mindful about supervision and typically find my home is best suited to dogs who are comfortable with that kind of environment. I’m also happy to talk through what setting would be the best fit for your dog, whether that’s staying in your home or mine.

“Miko is great! My pups liked her the minute they met. She stayed overnight and took great care of my house. She’s a great communicator and sends pictures and updates. I will have her back for sure!”

“Sydney was great with our 2 dogs. She sent us lots of pictures and kept us well informed. The house was in perfect shape as well. Already have her booked for our next trip.”

About: Giving your pets so much love, while leaving your home better than when you left. Grew up on a farm in Canada with many animals, while also having pets over the years since. In addition to providing reliable and loving care for your pet(s) and home, I also offer Animal Reiki sessions and gentle energetic space clearing—helping your pet feel calmer and your home feel refreshed and balanced while you’re away. I’ve been house and pet sitting for friends for awhile now and have led a digital nomad life around the world in 45 countries and counting since 2010. Thought I’d give this platform a try as I’m in transition and planning to settle down in California permanently while checking out more areas to see what’s a long term fit. I love animals, playing beach volleyball, and run my own digital marketing agency of 15 years that has always been remote-first so have a very flexible schedule that I create. Looking forward to caring for your home and pets! I grew up on a farm in northern Canada and it sustained our family so I have a lot of experience with pets and many animals, from our own dogs and cats, to rabbits, cattle, pigs and chickens. I’ve lived in many cities around the world since and also had additional pets throughout life and have often been asked to care for friend's and family’s pets and homes over the years. I absolutely love it because I move around a lot and do not have my own at the moment.

About: With over a decade of experience caring for dogs, I’m comfortable handling everything from daily walks to routine drop-ins. I approach every visit with reliability, patience, and genuine care. For the most part, I am available in the mornings and evenings. I am very flexible and would be happy to figure out a time to take care of your loved one. During drop-ins or walks, I follow your pet’s routine, give them lots of love and care, and can share updates so you know they’re happy and doing great

“JoAnne is wonderful and did a great job with my dog! She gave lots of updates and pictures and always responds super quick. I’d highly recommend her to anyone!”

About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs and cats my entire life — growing up with both, and spending years as the go-to pet caretaker for neighbors, friends, and family. I’m calm, attentive, and experienced with dogs of all sizes and energy levels. I prioritize routine, clear communication with pet parents, and making sure every animal feels safe and comfortable in my care. I have a hybrid work schedule with regular work-from-home days, which means I can often fit in midday walks and check-ins that a traditional 9-to-5 simply wouldn’t allow. Weekends are wide open for longer walks, drop-ins, or boarding. I’m reliable and consistent — if I’m booked, I show up every single time. I offer mobile care, meaning I come directly to your pet in their own home — which keeps them comfortable, stress-free, and in their normal routine. I’m attentive, calm, and always alert to a pet’s body language and needs. Pet parents can expect photo updates and check-ins throughout every visit so you never have to wonder how your fur baby is doing

About: There is nothing I love more than dogs! I volunteer at animal shelters where I walk dogs, and have even travelled to different countries going around and feeding the stray dogs all over! I love caring for them and doing whatever it takes to make them happy and feel loved. I have two dogs of my own that i walk for an hour every day and would love to walk some more as well! I am a full time therapist but have a very flexible schedule. I work from around 2/3 and stay until around 6/7 so am only out of the house for around 4 hours max. Walking dogs would be the perfect thing for me to do with the extra time I have in the mornings and afternoons! I can walk them, check in and play with them, or house them. I’m also very open to cats I love them just as much as I love dogs :) I’m here to make your dog (or cat) happy and make your life easier! I am only at the office from around 3-4 hours a day at the most, so have plenty of time to take care of animals. I live in an apartment so I take any animal under my care on as many walks on possible. I try to take dogs on at least 3-4 walks every day. If I ever stay in a client's home I would still do the same!

“Alexa watched our girl Peppermint super last minute for the day, gave her medicine on time, and provided a ton of photos and updates which I really appreciate. Peppermint was super relaxed when we got home and we would absolutely book Alexa again! :)”

“Marianne was available on short notice and got us out of a tight spot when another sitter fell thru. She was patient with our Beau who can be loud when meeting new people and takes some time to warm up to people. She was able to connect with him in the first 20 minutes and was smooth sailing after. She was thoughtful and asked for information on how to take care of him and our senior cat Tuzo too, as well as what signs to look for that could be a health issue with him. Will gladly reach out to her when we need another sitter in our visits to LA.”

Brandon D.

“When I say, Haylee is amazing. I truly mean it. She was so informative and considerate of letting me know what was going on while she was cat sitting. And I love that she sent me pictures during the stay. I will definitely be booking her again in the future.”

About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life! I have two dogs and a cat back home in Colorado, so being around animals has always been a huge part of my life. I know how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets, and I’ll always treat yours like they’re my own. Whether it’s going for walks, playing, giving lots of love and attention, or just keeping them company, I genuinely love spending time with animals. I’m responsible, attentive, and more than happy to send plenty of pictures and updates so you know your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away! :) I currently have a very flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time to give your pets the attention and care they deserve! I’m available throughout the week and on weekends for walks, drop-ins, playtime, and lots of quality time. My schedule allows me to be flexible with different routines and needs, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal schedule as much as possible. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, so I’ll always treat both your pet and your home with the same care and respect I would my own. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual routine, personality, and needs, and will closely follow any instructions you leave for feeding, walks, medications, or anything else that keeps them happy and comfortable. I’m also happy to send plenty of pictures and updates so you can feel at ease while you’re away! :)
