About: I truly enjoy spending time with dogs and caring for them with patience, warmth, and attention. I have several years of hands-on experience with dogs, including experience as a dog owner, caring for other people’s dogs, and caring for a puppy. I’m also comfortable giving medications when needed. I understand that every dog is different and has their own routine, personality, and comfort level. I always do my best to make dogs feel safe, calm, and cared for through loving attention, consistency, and gentle care. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time, attention, and care to the pets I look after. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits and pet sitting, and I do my best to keep each pet on their usual routine so they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I believe it’s very important to follow each owner’s instructions, routines, and usual way of caring for their dog. I’m very attentive to those details because they help pets feel safe, relaxed, and comfortable. I want each dog to feel not only well cared for, but also to have a sense of familiarity and home-like comfort while you’re away.
“Rachel was wonderful! She was easy to get ahold of for questions. She was available for a pre-booking meet and greet with our kitties so we could go over any questions and she could meet our somewhat skittish kitties. We came home from our trip to healthy happy kitties which makes traveling so much nicer. We will most certainly rebook with Rachel whenever we can!”
About: I have a sensitivity to connect with cats in a deeper way. My calm and peace always make them feel at home❤️ We can hop on a call if you want to talk and get to know me first. My schedule is super flexible right now. I can house sit and spend the night as well if you need. I can also always adjust to your needs I’ll follow whatever rules you have for your specific pet and space. Just let me know ahead of time. I’ll gladly acomodate. I have no problem at all with any specific needs.
About: I’ve had the opportunity to care for many different dog breeds since I was a child, which has helped me become comfortable with a wide range of personalities and energy levels. My parents also rescue dogs so I’ve always been there to take care of them. And even though I’m only 19, I’ve worked with puppies, senior dogs, and high-energy breeds. I treat every dog as if they were my own. I recently graduated high school and currently have a very flexible schedule, allowing me to dedicate plenty of time to walking your dog. I can be available throughout the day for short, long, or average length walks. I also simply appreciate a couple days’ notice whenever possible so I can plan my day. But walking your dog will be my priority for the day. I am a very active person. I like to surf, skate, and play soccer so I have always been up for a good walk with my dogs. Growing up with them, I was always in the mood for whenever my dogs communicated to me that they wanted to go out.
“Lainee was wonderful with my cats for three weeks while I was away. She is so caring and gentle with my boys and didn’t hesitate to help out with any issues that came up. They were so happy and well taken care of upon my return. Definitely will ask Lainee to look after my boys in future. I am so grateful!”
“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: I've taken care of friend's animals whenever they were gone for multiple days to weeks at a time and love all animals that are caring and loving. I already take care of friend's animals when they are gone and have been consistent. I'm asked to do it when she's traveling and working for weeks in a month as well as evenings on days she's working I feed them what I'm told to feed them, fill their water bowls up and make sure they use the bathroom so they feel content with being at home
About: Hi! We are Ryan& Lilly, and caring for animals isn’t just something we do—it’s something we genuinely love. We know how difficult it can be to leave your pet with someone new. That’s why we make it our priority to create a calm, safe, and loving environment where your pet feels comfortable, happy, and well cared for. Every pet has their own unique personality and routine, and we take the time to get to know them so they receive the attention and care they deserve. Whether you need dog walking, drop-in visits, pet sitting, or overnight care, you can count on us to provide reliable, compassionate service. We’ll make sure your pets get plenty of exercise, playtime, affection, fresh water, meals, and, of course, lots of love. Communication is very important to us, so we’ll keep you updated with photos and messages during every visit. Our goal is for you to enjoy your time away knowing your furry family member is in caring, trustworthy hands. We treat every pet as if they were my own, and we would be honored to care for yours. We can’t wait to meet you and your best friend! P.S. Besides English we speak Russian and Spanish We work from home so we would love to give your fur baby a home, take care of them play with them any days of the week! We have a huge territory on the Marina as well as the beach 5 min away and the court yard under our balcony. Lots of nature around here. We have no pets, no kids and a pretty big apartment so your pet will have space
“Aech was wonderful for a drop-in for my boy! She took him out for a potty break then gave him lots of love and attention until leaving. I got prompt updates and photos right after the visit. Would definitely book with Aech again!”
About: I love spending time with dogs!! Our lovely pup Mochi has been in our lives for about 8 years. He was very traumatized when we initially met. He wouldn't let anyone pet him, he had a lot of separation anxiety, it was very hard for him to eat, poop, etc. Seeing the transformation he went through to become more loving and trusting still brings tears to my eyes. I even taught him bunch of tricks and commands like 'stay' and 'leave it.' During this process I learned to be patient and look for clues in a dog's behavior about what they need. I learned to be compassionate when they are acting out. Acting out usually means an unmet need; dogs are very good at communicating when they need something! Caring for Mochi is one of the best parts of my day and I can't wait to love your pup as well! Me and my partner’s schedules alternate so there is usually someone at home most times. When we aren’t working, we like to go on hikes, to the beach/parks since most of our friends also have dogs. We live less than a block from the beach so beach time is always an option. Mochi absolutely loves other dogs and is very patient with dogs that are timid. There is a dog door separating the bedroom+hallway from the rest of the apartment in case dogs need to be separated when eating, etc.
About: I've been a dog walker, dog lover, dog groomer, dog kisser, dog snuggler, dog hugger, dog teacher and dog admirer since the day I was born. Growing up, my family always had a dog around the house. We had Mandy Dog (a German Shorthaired Pointer), Winnie (fluffy-sunshine-mix-a-doodle) and Paris (Australian Shepherd/Pitbull mix) at various stages of my youth. When I was 12, I raised my first puppy (a lil fluffy Golden named Lucy) and I taught her everything from sit to play dead. In high school I was a dog bather for a local dog groomer. From this job I learned about different breed personalities, needs and care. Currently, I work from home and would love to care for your friend. I'm very flexible on timing and availability. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns! I work from home and my schedule is very flexible. I can do same-day visits on the west side. Whatever you and your pet need I will try to accommodate. My front yard is enclosed and safe for sniffing and hanging out but I will be walking your pets all around my area (avoiding the canals) and playing with them on the beach (unless you don't want this/they don't enjoy that).
About: I’ve spent 20+ years caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. I treat every pet like family and always aim to provide safe, attentive, personalized care. I’m experienced with everything from energetic puppies and kittens who need structure and consistency to senior pets who need patience, comfort, and extra support. I take time to understand each pet’s personality, routine, and needs so they can feel secure and cared for. My goal is simple: to make your time away easier by giving your pet reliable, loving care and giving you peace of mind. I work full-time from home and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to take breaks throughout the day for walks, playtime, and whatever care your pet needs. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I’m respectful of your space, follow instructions closely, and communicate clearly with regular updates and photos. If your pet is staying in my home, they’ll have a calm, comfortable environment with outdoor access, plus lots of supervision and companionship since I work from home with a flexible schedule.
“Annalisa is an amazing dog sitter. She helps with training and is very accommodating with anything that needs to be done to make sure the dogs are happy and well taken care of. We will definitely be using her services again in the future!”
About: Growing up with dogs, cats, chickens, and fish have not only made me a huge animal lover, but have lead my curiosity and passion towards animal health, safety, and wellness in my adult years. I have volunteered at the SPCA, cared for boarding pets, and taken care of friend’s and family’s beloved animals for over a decade. I’m extremely well-versed in animal body language and behavior and will not hesitate to share updates throughout our time together. During the year I worked at a pet daycare, I learned how to care for the smallest, sickest kitties, to the biggest and most energy-filled puppies. After about 8 months working there, I was promoted to handling and administering the guest’s food and medication, so I have lots of experience and knowledge about all kinds of different food and meds for dogs and cats. Furthermore, at just 8 years old, I taught my family dog, Rudy, how to sit, lay down, shake, go to his “spot”, balance a treat, spin, among other common words used on a day to day basis. I was fortunate to have such a bright puppy who made both our learning experiences absolutely fun. I’m continuing working with animals because I enjoy caring for those who need it most! I’m currently freelancing so I can be available anytime and can prioritize and reserve times and dates that work on your schedule! I live in a convenient commuting area so that won’t be a problem. In my client’s home, I would ask for a written lists of things I need to know like food and medication schedule, estimated walk times (if they get walks) and where to walk them, what activities they enjoy, what treats I have access to, as well as household questions if I’m staying for a few days or longer than a week regarding plants, food, door locks, community code, etc. I’m cleanly and organized so I intend to be consistently respectful and helpful in that regard.
About: I have taken care of animals of all ages from puppies to those with special needs and I love them all as if they were my own. I am retired so I am available everyday of the week from early morning to the end of the day. I am available for walking, play dates and overnight care and feeding. I have been caring for pets for over ten years and I have many references who will attest to my reliability and punctuality and professionalism.
About: I’ve grown up with both big and small dogs my entire life, so I’m comfortable caring for all breeds, sizes, and energy levels. I understand the importance of routines, and always prioritize safety, patience, and lots of love. Every dog is treated like part of my own family! I'm currently working part-time three days a week, so that leaves me with the rest of the week to put my full attention on dog walking/sitting. In a client's home, I can keep my eyes on the dog at all times to ensure that they are safe and where they are supposed to be. I can also crate them if that is what's needed.
“Maxine seems great, my pups took to her pretty quickly and that's the most important part 😊. The pups are looking forward to their overnight stays with her in July.”
“Absolutely AMAZING!!! I am very protective over my dogs and Genevieve made sure to calm all my concerns. She truly went the extra mile while sending me updates, taking detailed notes and making sure both of my pups got special accommodations and attention. Look no further, the perfect pet sitter.”
“Yessy was great! My golden retriever absolutely loved her. She came on time, took him for a walk and turned on dog tv for him before leaving. Will definitely use her again in the future!”
About: Hi! I’m Hope. Originally from Wisconsin and now living on LA’s west side, I’ve always been a huge dog lover. I grew up with a black Lab and have yet to meet a dog I didn’t adore. My friends joke that dogs naturally gravitate toward me, and they almost always do. I don’t believe in simply “watching” dogs; I love spending time with them. Whether we’re going for long walks, playing fetch, exploring new smells, or heading to the beach, I make sure dogs get plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, and attention throughout the day. If your pup enjoys the sand and ocean breeze, there’s a good chance we’ll spend time at the beach tossing a ball, going for walks, and soaking up the sunshine together. I work remotely, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to provide plenty of attention, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. Dogs in my care receive a minimum of two 30-minute walks daily, along with additional outdoor time, enrichment activities, and lots of affection. My apartment is spacious, pet-friendly, and located in a quiet residential neighborhood. Whether your dog loves adventures or prefers cuddling on the couch, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and right at home. I’m a great communicator and will always keep you updated while you’re away. Please let me know about any routines, preferences, or special needs your dog has! I want to make their stay as enjoyable as possible. I’m available for walks and dog care anytime between 8:00 am and 10:00 pm. I have a ton of flexibility during the work day since I’m a remote worker. I ensure dogs get out for a minimum of two 30 minute walks and plenty of potty breaks. My apartment is a spacious and pet-friendly space located in a safe, peaceful residential area. I also have a large, fenced-in patio where your dog can play and explore, and they’re always welcome on the furniture inside. Whether they love lounging on the couch or enjoying outdoor time, your pet will definitely feel right at home with me 🥰

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Marina del Rey
We hired Heather for drop-in visits when a last-minute trip came up, and after our experience, I highly recommend her. Heather came right over for a meet-and-greet, and it took only seconds for her and Oliver to become best friends. In fact, when we came home from our trip, he told us that he wants to live with Mrs. Heather now. While we were gone, she provided Oliver with food (which has medications involved), cleaned his litter, played with him, brushed him, fed him treats, gave him love, and even cleaned up. Major Kudos: Oliver requires this transdermal medication applied within his ear. This is something that's difficult even for me to apply, so I sort of accepted it'd be impossible for anyone else. And yet, Heather was able to apply it—all four times. Oh, and all of the pictures she sent were like... professional. My cat looked like a model. So I mean, really, does it get better than that? Heather is a wonderful sitter, and unless Oliver chooses to move in with her, we'll be hiring her again.
Alyssa was great with our Luke. We were visiting LA and needed a babysitter for the afternoon while we were at a fifa game. Alyssa came to our hotel and watched Luke for several hours. She met with us the day before so we all felt comfortable. We received dozens of photos throughout the day. Highly recommend.
Alex has been taking care of my cat Argo for several years. Argo has started to have kidney disease this year and Alex has been super good at giving Argo meds and taking good care of Argo, even when my house had ant issues. Alex is also super flexible at her schedule and I'm so grateful that Alex could accept my last minute schedule change. Thank you so much!!
Alexandra was great with my two cats! one requires an inhaler and she had no problem wrangling her for treatment. She was very good about giving each cat what they needed. One is very into play time while the other is all about the cuddles! I felt very confident leaving her with them and will definitely be booking with her again in the future.
Kirstin was communicative and did a lot to reassure me that my cat was in safe hands. She was attentive and communicative, and also helped me discover my cat loves watching TV 🤣 Thank you for helping me take care of Bagheera while I was away, and I hope he gets to see you again.
Once again, Lauren saves the day! I was able to book her services last minute and she did a great job taking care of my two cats. She’s really kind and loving toward the cats, and very thorough with her care and communication. I felt at ease while I was out of town knowing that Lauren was looking after my cats. Highly recommend!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Marina del Rey stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Marina del Rey. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
