About: My experience has been mostly my family and friends. I have taken their animals on walks, bathed them, fed them, played with them. Took them to parks and even trained them on new skills. Since I just graduated I have very open availability and ready to help. I am very organized and dependable, I value time management, my career/education, and most importantly taking care of people and animals. I am currently waiting for the new school year to roll around and continue my education so my schedule is free. I wake up early to work out but that time can be flexible depending on if I have a pet to watch. I keep the animals on the schedule they are used to. Feed them, fill water, walks, clean behind them, playtime, medicine if they need. Also litter box maintenance for cats. Also making sure we’re safe in the house and my phone near me to contact the owners if needed.
About: I have always had a deep love for animals, and that passion has shaped my experience with pet care throughout my life. From a young age, I’ve been the go-to person in my family and circle of friends for looking after their pets. Whether it's walking dogs, feeding, administering medication, or just offering companionship, people have always relied on me to ensure their pets are well-cared for. I currently have four cats, and they truly are my life. Over the years, I’ve gained an in-depth understanding of their behaviors, quirks, and specific needs. I know how to create an environment where they feel safe, loved, and stimulated—whether it’s through play, grooming, or simply providing them with the space they need. Each of my cats has its own personality, and I've learned how to adapt my care for each of them individually. While I don't own dogs, I’m well-versed in their needs as well. I understand the importance of routine, exercise, and companionship, and I’m comfortable with all breeds and temperaments. My experience with both cats and dogs gives me a comprehensive understanding of how to care for different animals and ensure they’re happy, healthy, and well-cared for. Pet care is a priority in my daily routine, from feeding and playtime to walks and grooming, ensuring all pets receive the attention and care they deserve. In both my home and clients' homes, I follow a personalized approach to pet care. I provide plenty of playtime, routine feeding, and ensure their environment is safe and comfortable. Whether it's administering medications, grooming, or simply offering companionship, I cater to each pet's specific needs and ensure they feel loved and secure.
“Thank you, Nicole. For being so patient with our shy old man, papa. We appreciate you understanding him being apprehensive and working with it. Before we left, he wanted no part in staying.. but, we could easily see that he was a very happy old dude when came back. Thanks for everything!! The Jacksons”
“Alyssa was superb. Great communication and Coco was well cared for. When she wasn’t eating much, Alyssa alerted us and we could give her some ideas to entice her. She clearly understands and loves dogs! Will rebook when another occasion requires dog care!”
“This was our first time boarding Hunter. I was nervous at first because we’ve never left him with anyone before, but Jas made me feel comfortable and at peace. We appreciated the pictures. Thank you Jas for caring for our Hunter!”
“Emily is a wonderful pet sitter. She really helped us with Tomasa the last weekend, she sent all the time pics and updates. She save us for a special event that we had in Mississippi. Thank you so much! We high recommend her ❤️”
“Our dog had an amazing time with John and Tara! Walks, feedings, play time, cuddles - everything was done the way she was used to. They let her sleep in the bed with them same way she does at home, and I’m sure it helped a lot for her to feel welcome. John has a cat, Pierre, and my dog became buddies with him as well. We also loved how fast John was responding to our texts, and we also appreciated daily pupdates. Thank you, John, Tara and Pierre!”
About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was a young kid! It’s always been a passion of mine. Animals are everything! I treat them if they were my little babies. Currently, I am open any hour of the day! I usually prefer watching animals in their environment, so they have no anxiety issues. Whatever works best for you! I ensure they are comfortable and provide playtime. I usually follow the owner's notes and send updates with pictures of their pet! We also go on multiple walks!
“I am so happy that Jessica was able to watch my dog, Penny, while I was out of town. She is very good with animals and adapts her style of boarding based on the animal's personality and needs. She was easy to communicate with and flexible with pick up and drop off times. I really like that she sent a lot of pictures and updates on how the stay was going. Will definitely want to have Penny stay with her again in the future. Thanks Jessica!”
“Fabulous experience!! I am never leaving my darling santos with anyone else ever again! I was out of the country for two and a half weeks and Santos was cared for like a member of Oshie’s family. He was truly happy there and while happy to see me, he actually seemed reluctant to leave. I will be leaving Santos with Oshie again soon. Also, such a lovely home and yard.”
“Okay, where do I start with Jessica. Jessica is an Angel 😇 in my opinion with dogs. Jessica was magnificent in communicating with me throughout Gem stay. I felt a side of relief throughout my mini vacation for two days. Thank you so much and I look forward 😊 trusting you in the near future. Finally, thank-you for the snacks 😋( Gemini). I think you spoil her to much. 10 stars really. 🌟”
“Caroline treated our two pets like royalty during their stay. We have stayed with a few different sitters, but Caroline has been our favorite thus far. She was attentive to our needs with the dogs and overall was very courteous and professional. The peace of mind is well worth the cost because I feel that I can trust my four-legged devils in Caroline's care. I will definitely book with her again in the future!”
“I was in a bind and quickly needed to find a pet sitter in under 12 hours. Rachelle responded quickly and saved the day. It was my first time using rover and Rachelle made me comfortable with the entire process!”
“Our dog Molly had a great vacay at Robin's house. There's plenty of room for dogs to run around, a stream to cool off in and Robin's dog Maika loved playing Molly's favorite game, Chase Me! We were happy that Molly was given lots of positive things to chew on when inside the house and was allowed to cuddle in bed with these nice people at night. They spoiled her just like we do. We felt very comfortable leaving our dog with Robin and her sister who have lots of experience with dogs. Molly will be staying with them again in the future for sure!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 12 years old and have always had a passion for animals. For years, I cared for a family’s four Greyhounds whenever they traveled, giving me experience with multiple dogs and a variety of care needs. As a dog owner myself, I currently have a Dalmatian and understand the trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. I provide dependable, loving care and treat every dog as if they were my own, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. I am currently working full-time. I either have morning or night shifts that allow me to have availability a large chunk of the day to play and take them on walks. I'm very active so I like to be outside. I have a fenced in yard and a friendly small Dalmatian. She loves playing with other dogs. A safe and fun environment is what I prioritize. i'll take the time to understand your dog routine and show them extra love.

Lynn was absolutely amazing with Zeke! ❤️ From the very beginning, she was incredibly kind, caring, and communicative. She sent me video updates every day, which gave me so much peace of mind and made me feel connected to Zeke even while I was away. Her thoughtfulness and willingness to keep me updated truly went above and beyond my expectations. It was clear that Lynn genuinely cared about Zeke and wanted to make sure he was happy, comfortable, and well taken care of. Finding someone you can fully trust with your fur baby is priceless, and Lynn is exactly that kind of person. I couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter! I would recommend Lynn to absolutely anyone looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely loving with their pets. She’s a gem, and I would book her again in a heartbeat. Thank you, Lynn, for taking such wonderful care of our Zeke! 🐾❤️
Randy is great with my two dogs! One became ill while In his care & I was out of state- he did a wonderful job of giving meds & keeping my mini poodle feel better. He is always responsive & has a relaxed energy with the dogs. They definitely like being in his care! 5 Stars
Gina was great and gave loving care to Keke.We were gone for over three weeks and she sent plenty of pics.Keke usually comes home stressed after being cared for by others. This time she was a much happier camper.i would not hesitate to wholeheartedly recommend Gina B. She truly cares for your pet.
Our dog can be anxious around other dogs and has had some issues in the past, so we usually look for someone who has no animals of their own and only takes one client at a time. Being a last minute booking, there really wasn't anyone else available so we took a chance with Stella knowing she has a cat and we were unsure of how Obi would do with that. I was honest with Stella about Obi's past and uncertainty about how he would react to a cat, so we arranged a meet up to see how the animals would do. After meeting her and her cat, we both felt comfortable to move forward with the booking. During the the 3 days we were gone, Stella was super responsive and sent regular updates including photos. Although our dog and her cat did not end up being couch cuddlers, they kept a respectful distance and Stella was very observant and responsible, making sure to supervise them and keep everyone happy and safely apart. We would definitely use Stella again! We were able to enjoy our family getaway and not worry about our fur baby. Thank you Stella!
Erin was absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond with communication throughout the whole process confirming booking, offering to pickup instead of me doing drop off, sending pictures and videos. This was my first time leaving my kitten and Erin made the process WAY easier and smoother than I could’ve imagined. I will definitely use her again!
Bernadette has been nothing but wonderful with my beagle. He has severe separation anxiety, and she always takes the time and care to make sure he feels comfortable and at ease. I’ve used her services a couple of times now and will definitely continue to do so. Her communication is excellent—she provides regular updates, photos, and details about Hank’s walks, which gives me great peace of mind while I’m away. I highly recommend Bernadette to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and attentive dog sitter.
Olena, Anya and Francesca took great care of Lotus! I was sent pictures and videos throughout her stay and she looked very happy and comfortable. I have never seen her actively play with other dogs, but she was having fun with their corgi. I will be booking with them again!

This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

Many sitters in LA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
