“i was looking for someone to drop in on my 2 labs 3x a day in the evening hours and was lucky enough to find donavyn just around the corner - my labs took to him right away - donavyns experience with larger dogs really put my mind at ease as larger dogs can be a handful for those who haven’t experienced larger breeds- he’s was prompt for all visits, spent a good amount of time exercising my dogs in the yard even when the weather was chilly, he spent quality cuddle time each visit with both dogs and sent lots of pictures while i was gone - if your looking for someone responsible and trustworthy to watch over your animals i would highly recommend and wouldn’t hesitate calling donavyn - i’ll definitely be calling on him again for future visits.”
About: (*Please be a smoke-free home for overnights - unfortunately I get asthmatic and have very bad physical reactions to smoke*) I've cared for my sister's dog while she is on vacation, and have several years caring for animals. Part-time, I care for 2 Jack Russell's and a Shorkie - the owners would be happy to recommend my services. I own a cat Allie, and she is treated like a queen, as should be any animal I would be caring for. Animals deserve the greatest love, attention and affection, and I consider them such a high priority. I have a semi flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time to devote to the care of your fur babies, in your home, and while you are away. In the Meet & Greet, I will listen very intently for your animal (s) needs, and take detailed instruction on leash requirements, procedures, special requests, etc. Thank you, Nicole (Nicki) I am self-employed and therefore, flexible. I do watch my 3 doggies from 10:30-2:30 Monday through Friday, but otherwise have roughly 10 hours of drafting plans for an Architect. Those hours are also, quite flexible. I can accommodate your needs for overnight stays, medicines, play. While I prefer a fenced yard, I can accommodate on a leash if we are not going too far.
About: I have taken care of kittens, cats, senior cats, dog and senior dogs. I am comfortable with administering medications and litter box care. I have raised 6 fur babies of my own as well as 3 puppies and a grand puppy! I have availability early mornings, evenings, and weekends. Working from home allows me to have a more flexible schedule and can plan for multiple daily visits. I respect your home, follow all instructions carefully, and prioritize your pet’s safety, routine, and well-being. Whether your dog or cat is social, shy, senior, or requires medication, I will provide patient and compassionate care tailored to their needs.
About: I have had many pets since I was a child. I have taken care of dogs, cats, hamsters, gerbils, guinea pigs, bunnies, and fish. I love animals and know how difficult it can be to find a good pet sitter. I have been a sitter for cats and dogs in many different capacities, from walking dogs, to taking care of cats over their owner’s long vacations. I am able to walk any sized dog, play with them, and feed and clean up after them. I am able to feed and clean up after cats, and play with them also. I have the skills it takes to give animals their time to warm up, and understand the signs of illness or distress. I work very part time, so I am available every day of the week with only a few hours away from home per week. I have a pretty open schedule. I work part time in the evenings, and can arrange plenty of time during the week for pet sitting. I have a fenced in yard and 3 well behaved dogs. I also love walking dogs and playing with pets to keep them happy and healthy.
“Erica was amazing! We set up a meet and greet and our cat is very selective of who he immediately goes up to and he wasted no time meeting her. We were able to enjoy our trip and not worry at all if our cat was cared for and well taken care of! Will be using her again! We really appreciated the amount of pictures she sent us.”
About: I have years of hands-on experience caring for children and managing a busy household, which has given me strong skills in supervision, structure, and maintaining a calm, safe environment skills that translate directly to dog care. I’m very comfortable managing different personalities, routines, and behaviors, including high-energy dogs and those who need extra patience or consistency. In my home, dogs are never left unsupervised for long periods. I follow feeding schedules closely, maintain consistent routines, and pay close attention to behavior and body language to keep everyone safe and comfortable. I understand how important it is for dogs to feel secure, especially in a new environment, and I work to make the transition as smooth as possible. I have experience handling multiple responsibilities at once, which means your dog will be cared for in a structured, attentive environment not a chaotic or unpredictable one. Safety, supervision, and communication with owners are always my top priorities. I care for every dog like they're one of my own. My home isn't run on a strict schedule instead, dogs become part of our daily routine. We start our mornings by getting up and heading outside to play, and on weekends we spend lots of time outdoors enjoying the yard. During the week, I work from home, so the dogs hang out with me inside and get plenty of attention throughout the day. They have opportunities to go outside whenever they need to, and I make a point to get everyone out at least once every hour. My goal is to provide a relaxed, loving environment where dogs feel comfortable, safe, and right at home. My home is set up to be safe, structured, and comfortable for dogs of different temperaments. I have a fenced yard for secure outdoor time and two friendly dogs who are used to being around others. I closely supervise all interactions and can separate or crate dogs when needed to ensure everyone stays safe. I follow each dog’s routine carefully and pay attention to behavior and body language to prevent issues before they start. Owners can expect regular updates and a calm, well managed environment.
“Mitch was awesome with our two cats, and went the extra mile to help us troubleshoot some frozen pipes during the recent cold snap. He was communicative and really gracious with his time. So grateful to have him watch the boys and check in on our house while out of town for the holidays!”
“Brianna did a great job making sure Florence was well taken care of while I was out of town! I appreciated the litter box being nicely cleaned when I came back. Florence seems happy as ever. Thank you!”
“Maureen was awesome taking care of my sweet angel while I was in Hawaii! The time difference is 9 hours so she made it very easy and stress free while also sending a lot of great pics. I would recommend her to anyone.”
About: I have taken care of dogs from all sizes and breeds. I enjoy taking them for walks, playing fetch or giving them all the belly rubs they want! I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and have helped take care of my friends and families dogs while they are away. Depends on day and time, I can do 3 times a day if needed. I work full time but am available before work and after work Monday through Friday. I am also free Saturdays and Sundays whenever needed. I will always make time for your pets as you are trusting me to watch your loved ones while away. I would always make sure your pets are cared for by feeding them, giving them water and while out for a walk making sure their safety is my top priority. Playing with them with their favorite toys or giving them belly rubs before leaving to get as much energy out as possible!
“Erin was great. Timely, great photo updates, and no news to report. Will definitely be reaching out to her again! That was the first time using Rover, and first time leaving my dog for a full weekend without a family member, and all went well!”
About: I have two dogs myself. I have taken care of neighbors dogs for over 5 years and in my home town I am always called on when someone needs some quick care for a dog. I am a college student and athlete(swim). My current schedule allows time for caring for animals in between classes. Walking pets allows me to be outside and stay active. I will be sure there are no dangers in the homeowner’s property before going outside or on a walk. Walking pets allows me to get out of my dorm and be active.
About: I have a great deal of patience and love to give your pet. I have grown up with pets and come with over 15 years of experience caring for my own special needs dog which included administering medication twice a day and caring for her during and after seizures. I have taken the last several years off to focus my efforts on the stray cat community. Over the last several years I have rescued, rehabilitated and placed over 20 cats. I am always on time and I truly love animals of any kind. I have experience caring for small farm animals such as chickens and ducks. I can’t wait to meet your fury friend and help break up there day while you are away:) My schedule varies week to week but generally I am flexible and open any time Monday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I am available Tuesday-Thursday 4pm and on. I am flexible and like to know about the pets schedule and routine. I have a fenced in yard and access to lots of park areas.
“Khush was absolutely wonderful with our 9 yr old English Bulldog, Jax, and she exceeded our expectations!! She took such great care of Jax while we were away for six days, doing three drop-in visits per day. We are new to DTLA so Jax is not only adjusting to apartment life but this was his first time away from us since the beginning of covid. Although things didn’t go as smoothly as we had hoped since Jax had two accidents where he got sick, Khush was super patient and positive throughout, providing constant communication and photos. I feel like Khush really made an effort to make sure Jax was comfortable and having a good time by playing with him and embracing his quirky & weird personality. Lol. I could tell Jax was enjoying his time with a new buddy! Thank you, Khush!!!”
“Thank you Archna for taking such wonderful care of our dog Astro once again! Archna is the best pet sitter you can find and we know Astro will be well taken care of by her.”

Gracie is amazing! We will definitely be booking her drop-in services again for our 3 dogs. She came over before our trip to meet our pups and get a run down of their routine. Then at each drop-in visit, we got an update and great photos! Gracie is reliable, trustworthy, and there's no doubt she loves dogs! Five stars! Highly recommend!
Kevisha was great! She communicated well and sent pictures of her every visit. We had peace of mind with her tending to our dog. It made being gone much easier on us. Everything was great! I look forward to booking with her again in the future. Thank you for your care!
Isabelle was great watching our pitbull mix. She was an excellent communicator, took adorable pictures and took care of Princess as if she was her own. Her energy was calming, which worked well for out high-energy dog! When we got home we had a happy pooch! Thank you Isabelle! We will definitely use Isabelle again!

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
