“Meng did an amazing job watching Otto and Archie for us while we were out at an event all day! The boys got lots of play time and a walk. Meng left our house spotless as well. Will book again!”


“Once again, Margaret was amazing! This time around she also took care of a new foster puppy we got unexpectedly. He is a tripod and also has a bad back leg. His motility was very limited but Margaret handled it like a pro! She also stays at our place until our flight actually lands instead just sticking to a written schedule. That means so much to us because flights can be delayed. Thanks again, Margaret!”

“Nick is an amazing companion for your dog while you are away. It was the first time I have left my dog since moving to LA and I was very nervous. He not only sent daily photos and videos, but also took Otter to the beach multiple times and got him a Christmas toy. I cannot thank him enough for the love he gave Otter.”

“Molly did a great job taking care of our dogs while we were out of town. She went above and beyond and was very communicative and responsible. She made us feel our pets were safe in her care.”

“Aolani was absolutely fantastic! So sweet with our boys, super communicative and sent pictures for us every day. We felt so safe and secure knowing Aolani was taking care of our home.”


“Sam stayed at my home and looked after my 9 year old golden retriever for the night. When I returned, I found my place in impeccable condition, and he had taken excellent care of my pet. Sam followed instructions diligently and proved to be a trustworthy caregiver. I will certainly continue to rely on him to take care of my home and dogs.”


“Deirdra did an amazing job taking care of Hank. He is a senior pup with arthritis and a pretty involved food and supplement routine. Deirdra stayed with Hank for about a week and made sure he was well taken care of the entire time. She was thorough in her reports throughout the day and sent plenty of pictures during her stay. Would definitely re-book for future trips.”

“It always gives us such a peace of mind when Nichole watches our senior dog, who needs medication. Not only does our dog love her and gets so excited when she comes over but we get constant updates while we’re away.”


“We LOVE Awa!! She’s so great with our dog and also takes great care of our apartment while we’re away. This time she even stayed late on the last day due to our delay in getting back. It’s amazing having someone so reliable and caring. Thanks again so much Awa!!”

“Jeff was a great sitter for our pup Miso, coming through at the last minute when another sitter had to cancel. Very responsive and asked questions to make sure Miso was happy and comfortable. We loved all the photo updates and Jeff’s flexibility, understanding of our dog’s quirks, and clear communication. Thanks, Jeff!”

“Riley is a warm and caring pet sitter! I knew my chihuahua was in good hands at the first meeting, and Riley's confidence and capability in handling my puppy was greatly reassuring. From the pictures, videos and updates it was clear my dog had a great time and felt very comfortable with Riley! So happy to have found her before my trip!”

“Samantha is an absolute lifesaver!! She came over to spend the day with my pup after our usual sitter had to cancel last minute. My dog is newly adopted and usually super shy, but she loved Samantha right away! So grateful, thank you Samantha!!”

“We had a last minute need for an overnight dog sitter. Angela was very responsive and flexible to our schedule. Our pups aren’t the easiest and she handled them well. She left our place tidy and our pups were happy. Don’t hesitate to book her for your pup(s)!”
About: Hi! I’ve loved and cared for dogs and cats for as long as I can remember. They hold a very special place in my heart, and even though I have my own fur babies, I never get tired of all the cuteness and joy they bring. I’m an experienced and caring pet sitter who truly enjoys getting to know each pet’s unique personality. Whether your furry friend needs walks, drop-in visits, overnight care, or just extra love while you’re away, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and genuinely cared for. I have hands-on experience with dogs and cats of all ages and temperaments—from playful puppies who need structure and gentle guidance, to senior pets who need patience, a slower pace, and attentive care (including medication if needed). I also work well with shy or anxious pets and always move at their comfort level to build trust. My goal is to create a calm, loving environment where your pet feels at home. You can always expect thoughtful updates, clear communication, and someone who treats your pets like their own. I truly love what I do and would be honored to care for yours! I’m currently working part-time, which allows me to offer flexible availability for pet care throughout the mornings, evenings, and most weekends. I’m also open to overnight care and happy to provide services either in my home or yours—whichever best suits your pet’s comfort and your needs. I provide calm, attentive, and personalized care in both my home and clients’ homes, always prioritizing each pet’s comfort, safety, and routine. In clients’ homes, I closely follow instructions and maintain their pet’s normal schedule to keep them relaxed in their familiar environment. In my home, I offer a clean, peaceful space where pets are treated like family with plenty of care and attention. I currently share my home with two sweet, indoor teenage male cats, so visiting pets must be comfortable in a cat-friendly environment. In all cases, I focus on safety, consistency, and clear communication, with regular updates so you feel confident while you’re away.
About: Hello - I'm Robert! I'm excited to meet you and your very best friend. I've looked after both dogs and cats for the last 10 years. I also used to be a high school teacher, so I know a thing or two about wild animals! Most recently I supported my girlfriend's two corgis on their journey to the rainbow bridge. It was truly an honor to care for them both. I'm not currently working a full-time job, so I can be available for most weekdays and weekends. I like to keep busy though, so please book with as much notice as you can. Thanks! If you board your pet with me, they will be in a large house on the westside. We have 2 dog-friendly cats that also love visitors!
Mar Vista pet parents share their Rover experiences
My 5 month old puppy loves Roxane. Roxane has helped me out last minute on multiple occasions for overnight drop in visits and it couldn’t have gone any better. She keeps me updated and sticks to the feeding schedule and makes sure my pup gets all the attention she needs. 10/10

Michelle was absolutely amazing with Ace! She followed everything exactly on schedule and took such great care of him while I was away. It was clear that she was very loving, patient, and genuinely cared about him. I really appreciated all the pictures and updates she sent throughout the stay, it gave me so much peace of mind knowing Ace was happy and well cared for. I could tell he was getting lots of attention and affection. I highly recommend Michelle to anyone looking for a trustworthy, reliable, and caring dog sitter. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of Ace! Will book again for sure!

Melia was wonderful. She had good communication with me throughout the duration of her time house sitting and watching my cat. She also understood how to properly care for a cat who is more shy and takes time to get comfortable around new people. Melia was able to get my cat to come out and play, which several cat sitters had a hard time doing. I would definitely recommend Melia.

I am a very particular person about my dog and cat and Meagan did such a great job taking care of them. She sent regular communications/pictures and responded whenever I reached out. I came home to a spotless house, she even washed my sheets! I will definitely have Meagan back to babysit!

Fidana was amazing! I have had not so great sitters in the past and she really made me feel so comfortable. I have a 65lb big boy that requires extra attention when walking. She not only kept me post when I was away but constantly sent me videos of my dog. 100/100 Fidana is the best!!

We were so lucky to have snagged Aech when we needed to extend our last trip. Really appreciated the regular check-ins and photos of our girl. Luna was perfectly content with their time together, as were we! Will be happy to leave our pup in such great hands when we head out of town again. Thanks so much 🖤🤍
