“Luis is wonderful! My previous pet sitter told me that he is moving away last minute leaving me on full on panic mood 4 days before my trip. I contacted Luis through Rover (first time using Rover), he responded right away and was able to schedule a meet & greet the next day. One of my dog is diebetic and needs timed injectable medications twice a day, so i always get super nervous leaving him even with my regular sitter. Luis put me to ease just from the meet & greet, he asked a lot of questions took notes, and has a very calming nature (my dogs are a handful when they first meet people in our hosue). I received tons of updates and pictures, communication was on point! I will definitely keep booking with Luis and recommend him to my friends and family.”


“We’ve used Heather a few times now and the pups are always very happy with her. They go on adventures every day and she sends lots of pictures. Would highly recommend!”


“Kristen did an amazing job watching our energetic and food-crazy Labrador. She stayed in our home and we felt so comfortable knowing our pup was in good hands. She sent daily check ins and photos. Also she was so respectful of our home and left it spotless. She even washed her sheets, towels and ran the dishwasher/put the dishes away before leaving! She was on time, always very prompt in replies to texts, and even made sure our packages were brought in and kept safe from our curious doggy. Won’t hesitate to use her again in the future!”


“Wendy did a fantastic job for us taking care of our fur-babies and house while we were out of town. She was very communicative and sent us regular updates and photos showing our pups happy and relaxed. She was proactive in alerting us to an issue before it became a problem (we left a window down in our vehicle!). She left the house very clean and handled our mail and trash collection flawlessly. She followed all of our instructions for the pups including giving medication and gave us a lot of comfort that they were well taken care of while we were gone. Will definitely use her again.”


“Hannah was fantastic! She gave our boys lots of attention, followed all of our instructions, and updated us with photos on a regular basis. I highly recommend her and would not hesitate to have her stay with our dogs again.”


“Jamie took excellent care of my home and my pup! I came home to a very calm and happy girl and so appreciate Jamie’s updates while I was away. I will definitely be reaching out to her again!”


About: I've grown up with dogs in my household my entire life! I promise your dog will loved in his home away from home while in my care. I have lots of experience with dog walking and sitting and will make sure they're comfortable! I also promise to meet all of your needs and concerns as you trust me with your fur baby! I work from home so my schedule is lenient and flexible to your pets needs! They will never be alone and will stay consistent with the schedule they have at home. I live in a large apartment with my amazing roommate who has also always been surrounded by dogs! Her family currently has 2 medium sized dogs that she takes care of frequently. There is a large dog park directly across the park from my apartment where I will make sure your dog gets lots of outside time! I also live 2 blocks away from Sail Bay and plan to take nice long walks there :)

“Lilly was great with Luna and sent frequent updates, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. I could tell Luna was being well cared for and treated with so much love! I highly recommend Lilly and will definitely be hiring her again!”


“We found Leanne when another dog sitter cancelled the week before a trip. Leanne was a good communicator and clearly experienced with dogs of all sizes. She bonded with our German shepherd right away. We came back to a clean house and a happy dog. We will absolutely use Leanne again!”


About: Hi everyone! I just graduated from the University of California, Los Angeles this past June. This Fall, I will be studying for the MCAT and will need to take plenty of study breaks to get some steps in and destress with some puppy/kitty love before applying to medical school. I have plenty of time as how much and how often I study is up to me. I am also able to take my books with me anywhere! I have had two dogs and a cat for almost every stage of my life! I’ve taken care of them through their puppy stages and up into their senior years. Throughout high school and college, I was able to make some extra money by house sitting, pet sitting, and dog walking all types of dogs (big and small). As a previous Division I Women’s Water Polo player and EMT, I am incredibly responsible and reliable! Personally, my dogs are the loves of my life and my best friends. If you are anything like me, I know how much your animals matter to you and will treat them like my own! Pets are allowed in my apartment building, but as I want to be respectful to my roommates I would much rather come to you! My pets live with my parents, so I am a pet-free home who wants to give your animals all of my attention. I am able to stay in your house and have reliable transportation to get to and from. Walking locations will vary depending on what you are comfortable with, but I am always up for a quick pee, beach walk, hike, or adventure!

About: I’ve been pet/ house sitting since I’ve been in high school and have done overnight stays and drop in visits. I have experience with timid and shy dogs and am good at being patient and gaining their trust. I’ve taken care of both large and small dogs as well as cats, rabbits and guinea pigs. I’m currently a grad student and have a flexible schedule as I am just working on independent research with no scheduled classes. I have an on campus job from 2-5pm Monday - Thursday. I got into pet sitting when I did not have a dog of my own and I love spending time with dogs. I will always give your pet my best care whether in a walk or on a visit.

About: I have experience walking dogs and caring for them in clients' homes. I'm calm, attentive, and always adapt to each dog's unique needs. Your pup will be safe, loved, and well cared for! I’m currently job hunting, so I have a very flexible schedule. I like to dedicate quality time every day to caring for each cat’s unique needs—whether it’s playtime, gentle cuddles, cleaning the litter box, or sending plenty of photos to keep their owners connected and reassured. My goal is to make every cat feel truly loved and well cared for! When caring for pets in my client’s home, I always prioritize creating a calm and safe environment tailored to each pet’s individual needs. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully, whether that includes feeding, administering medication, cleaning litter boxes, or engaging in playtime and cuddles. I make sure to respect each pet’s personality and comfort level, providing gentle attention or giving them space as needed. Throughout my visits, I send regular photo and video updates to keep owners connected and reassured.

“I needed a house sitter fast and I found Jordyn, she was flexible and was able to take care of my dog. She was such a great sitter! She kept me updated and sent me pictures of my Chewy :) I will definitely be booking with her again.”


“Annie did a great job with our puppy! She was very patient with her and helped to clean up accidents. She even came and did a meet and greet before we left, we were very appreciative!”


About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all ages and sizes since 2019, including overnight stays. I’m experienced with administering medications and senior pet care. I absolutely love animals—especially after having a family poodle for over 12 years—and I enjoy outdoor playtime, long walks, and giving pets the attention they deserve. Neighbors, friends, and family often rely on me for trustworthy, loving care. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine since I currently work part-time. This gives me the flexibility to offer consistent, reliable care—including walks, feedings, playtime, and overnight stays. I love spending time with animals, and I always make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I care for pets in their home, following their routine—including meals, walks, playtime and housecare- so they feel safe, loved, and don’t miss their family.

“Shelby did a fabulous job taking care of my cat, Leo. He has a complicated feeding routine and she did a great job following my directions and making sure he ate. She came over for a meet and greet before the stay, and I really appreciate that! Shelby is fantastic, I highly recommend!”


“Jor-el was awesome and we definitely recommend him. He watched our puppy who’s a husky mix with lots of energy. Jor-el provided great communication and sent lots of pics and updates of our pup. I feel confident our pup was safe on his watch. Our dog has never had a sitter before and we believe her 1st experience (& ours) couldn’t have been better. She seemed so relaxed and happy when we got home. 10/10 recommend Jor-el!”


“Mackenzie was awesome! She stayed at out house for almost a week and maybe left 4 hours each day. My pups were so well cared for and loved their lounge time and outside sun time. Our house was so clean and nothing out of place.”


“Melissa was fantastic in every way and our little guy felt like she was his personal care taker. She was friendly, communicative, reliable and trustworthy. We will definitely be using Melissa again! Thank you for watching Leo 🙏🏻😇”
