About: Hello! My name is Andrew and I am here on Rover to help any and all pet owners out there. As an owner of a Husky, I understand there are times when you need pet help in a crunch. I can work to be flexible in any situation that may arise! I am currently working full-time on the weekdays but I am able to fit any pet care into my daily routine as I am flexible. I am currently living in a 1-bedroom apartment with a balcony in case any pets need fresh air or to bathe in the sun!
“Yuliia did a great job with my cat Pablo who is a little shy but I know he appreciates what she did as well. Very attentive, responsive, and helped make my cat feel safe while I was gone.”
About: Hi! I’m Alina, and I truly enjoy spending time with dogs. I provide a safe, clean, and loving home where every dog receives individual attention and care. I understand that every pet has its own personality and routine, so I carefully follow your instructions to help them feel comfortable and secure. I enjoy walks, playtime, and keeping dogs active and happy. I’ll also send you regular photo updates, so you’ll always know your pet is in good hands. I have a flexible schedule and plan my day carefully to make sure every pet gets the time, attention, and care they need. I enjoy staying active, so walks, playtime, and companionship are always part of my routine. I keep my calendar updated and will communicate clearly about my availability. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a clean, calm, and loving home where pets receive plenty of attention and care. My apartment community has a dedicated fenced dog park, giving dogs a safe place to walk, play, and get exercise. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions and will keep you updated with photos and messages throughout their stay.
“Natalia has become my puppy favorite person in the middle of the day. She always jumps with joy the minute she sees Natalia coming through the door, and my sweet little puppy doesn’t even notice when I leave! Natalia Tree, my puppy joy as a she was her very own. She’s always punctual, and followed my instructions to the letter. She is truly a lifesaver.”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats of all kinds my entire life. From Schnauzers to big mutts to German Shepards, I take a calm and loving approach to dogs. I’m used to “mean” cats and respect their personal space. I volunteer at Stray Cat Alliance and have fostered cats as well. I am available for boarding and sitting Fri-Sun. Weekdays I can walk or do drop ins morning and evening. I can be more flexible depending on distance. I have a fenced backyard with turf. I have no pets of my own and have a smoke/vape free home. I live in a neighborhood that is easily walkable.
“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!”
“Rachel was very easy to communicate with and great with our kitty! Leaving a pet in the hands of stranger while on vacation can be scary but Rachel helped alleviate our worries with her clear and apparent love for animals! Would definitely recommend 10/10.”
“Annalisa was great with my 4 month old puppy! She was punctual, responsive, and engaged with Juniper. She always took photos and kept me updated with any changes & questions. She was willing to come for a meet & greet as well as for key pick up! I was grateful for the help!”
“Tracy took the time same day to come over and meet my dog Clio before I had to go out of town. She understood my dogs separation anxiety and was patient and kind in working with her. Thank you Tracy!”
“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 :)”
“Awa is AMAZING!!! She was so reassuring as this was my first time leaving my kitties for longer than a day. Will definitely be going back to her next time I need to leave!!”
About: Hi there! I have been a dog lover my whole life. We got our first dog when I was 14 years old. Although it was our family dog, due to the bond we created, he quickly became attached to me and I became his caretaker. After he passed, we got another dog (Brody), three times the size, so I am used to dogs small, medium, and large!! Since moving from home, I miss Brody so much and need to get my dog fix in. While I don't currently have my own furry companion (yet), I love using Rover to help take care of pets for others! It's a great way to meet people in the area, do something nice/good for someone else, and get to spend time with puppers :) Its a win-win-win! I work full-time remotely from home so I'll be around the doggo all day and can play with them whenever I have some down time! The dogs are allowed on furniture so they can make themselves as comfy cozy as they want whenever they want (unless instructed otherwise by the owner)
“Ryan did a drop in visit for our cat while we were out of town. He was professional, thorough and did everything we needed. We also appreciated him moving our package out of the sun. Would definitely book again”
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: Hi! I’m a dependable and caring animal lover with experience taking care of dogs and other pets of all sizes and personalities. I understand how important it is to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I have a Miniature Australian Shepherd of my own, so I’m very familiar with energetic, intelligent dogs and the attention and care they need. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, overnight care, or just keeping your pet company, I’ll treat them like family and make sure they get plenty of love and attention. I work part-time for myself, so I have a flexible schedule and can usually be available as long as I receive notice ahead of time. I genuinely enjoy being active with dogs, whether that means long walks, playing fetch, going to the park, or helping them burn off energy and stay happy. I love spending time with animals and making sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, and care while you’re away. When caring for your dog in your home, I will make sure to follow all of your instructions closely to keep your pet comfortable and maintain their normal routine. I treat every home with respect and ensure everything stays clean, safe, and exactly how you left it. I will provide fresh water, regular feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and lots of attention so your dog feels relaxed and secure in their familiar environment. My goal is to reduce any stress your pet may feel while you’re away by giving them consistent care, affection, and companionship right in their own home. For longer stays I prefer my dog accompany me. She is 1.5 years old, trained, and extremely friendly.
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: Just moved from Seattle to Venice beach. Starting over and rebuilding my boarding clientele. My boyfriend and I have a beautiful one bedroom apartment with a fenced outdoor space just steps from the beach. We have three dogs which consist of two seniors and one lazy one. In Seattle I had an upward for 40 or so regular clients whose dogs I cared for over many years. It was tough saying goodbye but I’m excited to rebuild and make new dog friends here in Venice :) Dogs have been my world since I was a kid. I started out working in dog daycares and boarding facilities where I learned a lot about pack behavior, safety, and reading different personalities. I later moved into grooming, which I still enjoy doing sometimes. Over the years I’ve also been involved in foster care and rescue for dogs in high kill shelters later helping dogs find homes. I most recently spent seven years working in veterinary medicine so I’m very comfortable recognizing health issues and caring for dogs with different needs. When pets stay with me, they become part of the household. I keep a calm, structured environment with lots of attention, play, and rest time. Dogs have access to comfy spots to relax, supervised social time if they enjoy other dogs, and consistent routines so they feel secure, safe, and genuinely at home.
About: Ive cared for and grew up around pets all my life💙. Some want nonstop play and zoomies, others just want a cozy buddy to sit with—and I’m happy to be both (and everything in between!). I care for cats and dogs of all ages, from curious little ones to wise seniors, always adjusting my approach to what makes them feel safest and happiest. What is your pets favorite toy? Favorite game? Favorite area to walk in? I work from home & plan my routine around the pets I’m caring for, making sure they get lots of attention, playtime, and cozy companionship throughout the day. I love creating a gentle, happy rhythm so they feel safe, relaxed, and right at home. 🐾 Meet and greets deff help set the tone! But I usually follow their usual routine as closely as possible—meals, walks, playtime, and all the little habits that make them happy. Whether that’s energetic play, quiet cuddles, or just being a calm, familiar presence, I adjust to what your pet needs most. I’m also very mindful of your space, keeping things tidy and peaceful so you can come home to a happy pet and a calm, cared-for home. 🐾
About: Hey everyone! I am a playful soul who loves animals above all else ( I just donated my birthday to raise money for the World Wildlife Fund) I used to walk dogs at an animal shelter in LA "No Kill Los Angeles" and miss being around them as I grew up on a farm in Australia with lots of animals! I raised many myself and have a very nurturing personality. A great memory is taking the dogs for a walk in the bush every morning. I even took my dogs through Puppy Preschool so I know how to train them as well. I would love to walk, treat and care for your doggo like they were my own :) For a reference from the dog shelter please feel free to ask and i'll pass it on. Looking forward to meeting you and your best friend, Kel

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Marina del Rey
Rachel did an absolutely fantastic job taking care of Rico on very short notice. From the moment I dropped Rico off, it was clear he was in capable hands. Rachel’s communication was steady and reassuring: quick updates, photos, and notes about Rico’s meals and walks, which helped me feel at ease while I was away. She was amazing, thank you! Rico was well-cared-for, and clearly comfortable in Rachel’s care. She supervised his play, kept feeding on schedule, and paid extra attention to his favorite activities and comfort needs. It’s rare to find someone who can step in on short notice with such reliability, warmth, and professionalism.
This was our second time booking Allison to watch our 2 cats, and she was phenomenal again as always! She’s super thoughtful, sends the best pics, and really bonds with our pets. I think my cats will be very excited to see her again soon for our third booking!
Very responsive, very detail oriented. Asked lots of great questions at the meet and greet beforehand and at the first drop in. Happily did everything I asked to take care of my two cats with very specific needs. They were comfortable with her quickly and so was I.
I can always rely on Mimi to take care of Pabu when I’m away! She checks on his needs well and makes sure his environment is just right for him in addition to basic care. If you want someone who will pay a lot of attention to your furry friend, I highly recommend Mimi :)
Emilie was amazing! She sent numerous photos every night, not just of the kitties but of them eating, her playing with them and, most importantly, loving on my babies. In fact, I’m pretty sure one of my kitties was looking for the first day we were back, at the time Emilie normally came! It sure made being away from my babies as we said our final goodbye to my mother that much easier.

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:

- 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.
