About: What sets me apart is that I truly connect with each pet. Whether it’s training a puppy or giving a senior pet extra care and love. I’m all about making them feel at ease. I tailor everything to their personality and needs, so they always feel loved and comfortable, no matter their age or energy level. Morning walks, playtime, feeding, and cuddle breaks all fit in easily. If you’re thinking about adopting, it’s about gradually figuring out what your pet needs and adjusting your day to make sure they’re happy and healthy. It’s a rewarding addition to any routine! I create a cozy, safe environment with plenty of playtime, rest, and individualized attention tailored to your pets personality. In your home, I follow your routine, keeping your pet comfortable and maintaining consistency with walks, meals, and snuggles.

About: I grew up with multiple dogs at home both small and big. I love all types of dogs both active and cuddlers. My currently dog is an active 2 year old Belgian mal, and have my others dogs at my parents home. I work full time overnight various days, therefore it gives my flexibility both day/night and during weekends/weekdays. It allows me to be available for your furry babies typically when paw parents are at work (: I lived in a gated apartment, I have a steel crate in home, and have safety measures in place at home for pets as I have my own furry baby with me in house (:

About: I’ve loved and cared for animals for many years—both my own and those of friends. My journey started when I found my cat on the streets of Shanghai. He was small, scared, and in need of help. I brought him home, and we’ve now lived together in Los Angeles for over three years. Over this time, I’ve taken him to vet appointments, dental checkups, and even helped him get comfortable with baths—so I’m no stranger to handling all aspects of daily and medical care for cats. I’ve also cared for dogs, including a friend’s pup who stayed with me for two weeks while they traveled. I took care of his meals, walks, playtime, and even took him to the vet for vaccines. In addition, I’ve helped care for five different cats for friends while they were away—each with their own unique personality and needs. I truly believe that every pet is unique, and I take time to understand their individual personalities and emotional needs. Some are outgoing, others are shy or anxious—and I adjust my care to make sure they feel safe, seen, and loved. I pay attention to science-based feeding and evidence-based training methods, especially with young puppies. I have experience administering medications, supporting senior pets, and creating calm, structured environments that help animals feel at ease. Whether it’s a walk, feeding, medication, or just keeping them company, I treat every pet like family. I genuinely love spending time with cats and dogs, and it brings me joy to care for them thoughtfully and responsibly. I’m currently working part time as a songwriter and producer, and I spend most of my time in my home studio. I’m very flexible and attentive for your pets. I live in a house with two cats. We have water fountain, 2 automatic feeding machine and 3 cat litter boxes. Everyday I play with my cat whenever it meows at me.
About: (New to Rover, but been in pet care over 10 years) As a reliable and trustworthy dog walker, I treat every pup like family—rain or shine, you can count on me. I build real bonds with both pets and owners, so you’ll always know your fur baby is in good hands. I decided to start dog walking to have a flexible schedule that allows me to support and be present for my family, while doing something I genuinely enjoy—spending time with animals. When caring for pets—especially during walks—I make safety my top priority. I closely follow the owner’s notes and instructions, from leash preferences to special quirks or needs. Every walk is tailored to the dog’s pace and personality, and I always keep a watchful eye on their surroundings to ensure a safe, stress-free outing.
“Jessica was super caring and attentive during her drop-in visits. We have a mostly blind senior dog named Teddy who needs extra TLC, and Jessica rose to the challenge. She was also incredibly flexible and patient as my husband and I worked out our schedules and dog care needs. I would definitely request to book Jessica again!”
“Just hired Victoria for the first time for a 30-minute cat visit. At our meet and greet she was friendly and asked questions about the duties. While away, she sent me pictures and a summary of how my babies were behaving, which made me feel relieved to know they were taken good care of. I would definitely recommend Victoria and will book her next time I'm out of town.”

When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always follow the owner’s instructions closely to ensure pets feel safe and comfortable in their familiar environment.

I’m calm, gentle, and respectful of both the pets and the home, and I always send photo updates so owners can have peace of mind.

About: I've looked after the pets of friends and neighbors for at least 20 years of my life. With that time has come experience with a variety of medical needs. I'm experienced giving shots, pills (liquid or capsule), and subcutaneous fluids. I am the owner of a diabetic cat and have cared for others, so I have experience testing blood-glucose levels and administering insulin. I have looked after dogs and cats of every shape, size, and age and am ready to give your fur babies the best care possible while you're gone! I'm currently between jobs at the moment, which leaves my schedule very open to look after your fur babies! I do, however, own a diabetic cat, and am required to be home in time to give them their food and insulin. While I can't facilitate your pet at my own home, I'm more than happy to spend as much time as possible with them at yours! I'll make sure that they're let our for a potty break and to stretch their legs, are walked if they need it, and are fed and watered before I leave. And I'll spend plenty of our time giving them cuddles and scritches to their hearts' content.
About: Me and my husband are home full-time and can take good care of your furry friends. :) I’ve been around dogs and loved their companionship ever since I was a child. I personally adopted my furry family member 7 years ago. She is very healthy and happy living with me. I have all the experience needed to take care of a furry friend. I now work remotely and have extra time to help friends and family look after their canine companions. I work from home and take multiple walking breaks a day! This means I am available to play and care for your pup for just a few hours or a whole day, depending on your needs! My neighborhood is very quiet and clean, your pet would love it! Based in Pasadena, my house has a large fenced backyard with plenty of outdoor fun space and a huge lawn. My goal is to follow your preferences and instructions for your pet's needs! I would only hope to board a maximum of 3 pets at a time, so they'll have my fullest attention while staying overnight. I’m home full-time and your furry friends can stay with me and not feel lonely. I will walk them at least 3-4 times per day. I will take care of the pets per instructed by the owner. Please provide information on any special needs for your furry friends. I will make sure they have a good time!

19. Carling M.
“I wish I could be one of the pets that Carling cares for - I would truly be living The Life in the Lap of Luxury! Carling cares with her whole heart, delivering food, walks, and a variety of medication diligently and on time as well as providing lots of play and comfort to cats, dogs and every other creature great and small who are enjoying a staycation while their people are out on a trip. When we left our kitties to go on vacation, I was super nervous to leave them, but Carling made me feel at ease by giving me daily updates and lots of great photos. She's also great with shy and cautious pets, giving them lots of time to get to know her and feel comfortable - one of my cats is a bit of a spooky boy who doesn't trust strangers and she had him purring in her lap in practically no time. Definitely recommend her for all of your pet-sitting needs!”
20. Christy L.
