“Hannah was amazing — my pup has separation anxiety and rarely eats his food without me or my bf around. He ate all of his food with Hannah! She was prompt, responsive, and made our pup feel so comfortable. We will absolutely work with Hannah again!”

“Meng was amazing! She dropped in to take my pug potty and was totally on top of everything. Super reliable, communicative, and cares about animals. I felt at ease knowing my pug was in good hands. Would definitely recommend and book again!”


About: I currently have 3 dogs - a frenchie, a yorkie/retriever mix, and a blue heeler/border collie mix. I absolutely love dogs and treat them like my family. I currently work from home so I have the flexibility to do dog walks and pet sitting. For boarding, I’m at home the majority of the day. I have a fenced in yard with a doggie door and access to a grass backyard. I also have 3 friendly dogs - 2 seniors that sleep all day and a border collie mix that loves to play!
About: Hi! I’m Carmen, I am I life-long animal lover and I specialize in caring for small, medium and senior, or low-energy dogs who thrive in a slow-paced, cozy environment. Whether your pup needs boarding or day care, they’ll get lots of one-on-one attention, walks, naps, and a calm daily rhythm. I only take one guest dog at a time to keep things peaceful and personal. I work from home, so I’m around to provide steady companionship, regular potty breaks, and lots of love throughout the day. What I Offer: • One guest dog at a time • Small/medium breeds or seniors only • Quiet, low-stress environment • Ideal for shy, anxious, or elderly dogs • Frequent photo updates • Quick communication • Lots of attention I would love to meet your pup and help them feel right at home. Let’s set up a meet-and-greet to see if we’re the right fit! I work from home, so I’m able to give lots of attention throughout the day. My schedule is consistent, which creates a relaxed environment for visiting dogs. Walks, meals, and cuddle breaks easily fit into my daily rhythm—and my chihuahua Cathy is always happy to have a friend around. Because I only take one dog at a time, each pup gets focused, attention in a peaceful setting. In my home, I offer a safe space where dogs can relax. I keep the environment quiet and low-stress, with soft bedding, plenty of fresh water, walks, and companionship. If I’m caring for a pet in a client’s home, I respect their space and routines, making sure your pet feels secure and well cared for in their own environment. I follow feeding, walk, and medication instructions carefully, and I’m always happy to send regular updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away.
“We did a meet and greet with her since our dog can be anxious around new people. She was fantastic! Asked all the right questions and our dog immediately loved her! Great service, very friendly!”

“Great experience, communication was excellent! I booked Harvest a day before my trip, gave instructions, and she delivered very well. Highly recommend!!! Thank you Harvest!”

About: I’ve always been a dog person and honestly become attached to dogs way too fast. I’ve cared for family dogs and helped friends with their pets, and I know every pup has their own personality and needs. Whether that means walks, playtime, cuddles, or just keeping them company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I know trusting someone with your dog is a big thing, so I’d treat them like they’re my own. I currently have a very flexible schedule, which means I have plenty of time and attention to give your pup. Whether that’s walks, playtime, keeping them company, or sticking to their usual routine, I’m able to make sure they get lots of care and attention throughout the day. I know every dog has different needs and routines, so I always make sure I follow whatever makes your pup feel the most comfortable. I’m attentive, patient, and will make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated because I know trusting someone with your dog is a big thing.
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.
“This was our first time using Rover so we were very nervous about having a stranger taking care of our little girl. Rossana was so kinda and totally understood all of our anxiety. It gave us such peace of mind to receive so many pictures of our cat every day. We will definitely use Rossana again in the future!”

“Amanda was truly amazing! She was so kind and attentive with our cat. She provided very thorough updates and photos each day she visited. I would recommend Amanda to anyone looking for a pet sitter, and we will definitely book her again in the future!”

“Roxane was awesome! Very communicative and followed complex feeding/care instructions super well. Grateful to have someone so kind to look after Scout while I’m gone. Definitely will be booking with Roxane again :)”


About: What sets me apart is my combination of hands-on experience, calm energy, and genuine love for dogs. I grew up with dogs for over 15 years, so caring for them has always been second nature to me. In my teen years, I regularly walked and managed up to nine cocker spaniels at once, which taught me how to stay attentive, patient, and in control even in high energy situations. For the past four years, I’ve also supported a dog nanny business, where I’ve gained experience with a variety of breeds, temperaments, and routines. I’m especially strong with maintaining consistency, reading dog behavior, and making sure each dog feels safe and cared for. My calm and detail oriented approach helps dogs feel comfortable quickly, whether they’re energetic, shy, or need a little extra patience. I’m confident working with puppies who need structure and guidance, as well as senior dogs who require a gentler, more attentive pace. At the end of the day, I treat every dog like they’re my own, and that’s what earns the trust and all the tail wags. I’m used to planning my days with intention, so incorporating walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and check-ins is something I do with ease. On a daily basis, I prioritize morning and evening availability, which are key times for walks, feeding, and giving dogs the attention they need to feel calm and secure. Throughout the week, I maintain a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate different needs, whether that’s longer walks, multiple visits, or adjusting to a dog’s specific routine. I’ve spent years around dogs,both personally and supporting a dog nanny business,I’m very aware of how important consistency is for their behavior and comfort. I naturally build that consistency into my routine, making sure each dog gets reliable care, attention, and a positive experience every time. I approach pet care with consistency, respect for the pet’s routine, and close attention to detail, whether I’m in my home or a client’s. In a client’s home, I prioritize keeping everything as familiar as possible. I follow their established routine for feeding, walks, medications (if needed), and playtime, while also keeping the space clean and secure. I’m mindful of house rules, locking up properly, and maintaining clear communication with updates so owners feel confident while they’re away. In my own home, I create a calm, safe, and structured environment. I make sure pets have a designated space to relax, stick to consistent feeding and walking schedules, and provide a balance of play, exercise, and rest. I also pay close attention to behavior and body language, so I can adjust care as needed and ensure each pet feels comfortable and supported. Across both settings, my goal is the same: to provide reliable, attentive care that keeps pets happy, safe, and at ease.
“I cannot ask for a better sitter for my baby. She made sure to give him lots of attention and love when I was away, she messaged me and kept me updated throughout it all. I came home to a happy cat, all thanks to her. On top of that she helped me out a lot in the house, made sure everything was clean and prepared, watered my plants and also refilled my cat’s food and water. I have booked from Rover before but no one comes close to Veronica. I 100% recommend her and will be booking again if needed. Thank you so much Veronica, you’re the best!”

“Molly was a great sitter for our cat during the busy holidays! She gave us FANTASTIC communication throughout our time away, better than many other Rover sitters we’ve had. We already have booked her again for an upcoming trip and will do so again!”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and taking care of my neighbors pets around my neighborhood. I’ve done check ins, walks, and permanent stays at houses if their owners are out of town! I don’t have a job for the summer this year so I’m available anytime for any need that your pets require from me! I’m perfectly capable and very willing to follow instructions on how you want your dog fed, put to bed, walked, and/or played with!
“This is the first drop in we have with Anya. Our dogs ran right into her at meet and greet. She is friendly, courteous, responsive, punctual and thorough. We will love to have her again.”

About: Hi! I'm Luna, a college student from Ithaca, NY. I started petsitting two years ago, in my hometown and the town I go to college in, but I am looking to offer my services in Los Angeles while I intern here for the summer! I have experience with reactive dogs- I've taken care of my rescue dog for four years now. He's a large reactive dog who needs a lot of special attention, especially when around people and on walks. Your pup will be in good hands! I'm interning at a production company two days a week, so unable to provide service on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, but very flexible every other day. I am happy to take your pup on walks around the neighborhood, parks, or local trails. I have experience taking my dog on walks from 45 minutes- 1 hour, but if your dog doesn't need that, I love taking a shorter route! I don't have a car, so sticking locally will work best for me. If you have a yard, I will happily play with your dog outside, and visit inside however necessary.
“Sarah was an excellent caretaker. She was very flexible in orchestrating key pick up and sent plenty of photos of our babies. Looking forward to working with her again in the future! Would highly recommend her!”
Mar Vista pet parents share their Rover experiences
Yuliia was so amazing and we would book with her again. She was very communicative throughout the entire process, sending regular updates and photos that gave us peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that she genuinely cared about mochi and wasn't just stopping by to complete the basics. She spent quality time playing with her and making sure she had attention during her visits. We really appreciated her reliability and thoughtfulness, highly recommend!

Mallory was wonderful with Flaca! She walked her, let her explore, made sure she got dinner, and provided great updates throughout the visit. She was caring, attentive, and gave me peace of mind knowing Flaca was in good hands. I would definitely book her again!

Incredible experience. This was my first trip away from my kitty and Samantha made me feel more at ease. She is punctual, quickly communicative and really made a great impression on my cat. Plethora of pictures, handling my last minute booking, Samantha was the best!

Super last-minute trip meant usual sitters weren't available so I turned to Rover. James was incredibly prompt, professional, and helpful in his replies and lucky for me (and my cat) he was available for a last minute booking. I booked two drop-ins per day for a week and he went above and beyond to care for my baby. He sent thorough reports and adorable pics each visit, paid great attention to detail, and did an overall fantastic job. Highly recommend James for pet care and wouldn't hesitate to book him again. I think my cat actually MISSES his playtime buddy.

Maxine has been absolutely amazing with our dogs. She is incredibly caring, attentive, and treats each dog as if they were her own.She kept us updated, paid close attention to their individual needs, and went above and beyond with many things that weren’t even part of her responsibilities. One of our dogs recently developed a leg issue and needed extra care, and Maxine was so patient, gentle, and thoughtful during the entire process. Knowing our dogs were with her gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We feel incredibly lucky to have found someone so trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely loving toward animals. Our dogs adore her, and we would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for exceptional pet care. Thank you, Maxine, for taking such wonderful care of our furry family members!

Alex was perfect, she took amazing care of our two cats, plus a litter of foster kittens! She was so experienced and went above and beyond with detailed updates and pictures, I felt 10000% confident all our kitties were happy and getting the best care. Thank you so much Alex!!

Incredibly reliable and very talented at what she does and I am very happy and would love to do this again. She took amazing care of our cat and made us feel very comfortable the entire time. She was also very communicative and sent detailed excellent updates. Highly recommend and thank you so much again!!
