“Suky was fantastic. Great communicator, knowable, responsible, flexible. Our GSD Sansa was recently diagnosed w/ Cushing's Disease and needed medicine and some extra attention. Suky took everything in stride and got along famously w/ Sansa. We would book Suky again in a heartbeat. Thanks Suky!”


“We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter! Amy went above and beyond while caring for our dog and cat, especially when our dog unexpectedly needed surgery during our trip. Amy was calm, reliable, and incredibly attentive—sending thoughtful updates and making sure they had food, toys, and attention. We came home to a spotless house and a sweet surprise: a painting Amy made of our pets! Her kindness and creativity really touched us. We’re so grateful and would absolutely trust her again in a heart beat.”


“We are so grateful to have found Mai! She takes such great care of our dogs and home every time we’re away. Our dogs absolutely love her, and it gives us peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. Mai follows all our instructions carefully, asks for clarification when needed, and keeps us updated throughout her stay. Plus, she always leaves the house spotless! I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, responsible, and caring dog sitter.”


About: Hello fellow pet lovers! My name is Kim, and I have been surrounded by the love and companionship of animals my entire life. Caring for pets isn’t just something I do—it’s truly who I am. From a young age, I’ve shared my home with all manner of animals! From dogs and cats, to gerbils, hamsters , chinchilla, birds, and fish. I understand just how much our furry friends mean to us. My beloved Havanese was a cherished member of our family for 17 wonderful years. During his life, I cared for him through every stage—from 16 weeks to dementia and the rainbow bridge. I have administered medications, managed illnesses, and provided comfort and healing. These experiences taught me patience, compassion, and the importance of attentive, individualized care. I have also fostered both dogs and cats, helping them transition into loving forever homes. This has given me valuable experience with a variety of personalities, temperaments, and special needs. In addition, I’ve often looked after neighbors’ dogs while they travel, so I know how important it is for pet parents to feel confident and worry-free while they’re away. I specialize in caring for animals 40 pounds or less, and I am happy to provide pet sitting in your home—where your pet feels most comfortable—or possibly in my own home, depending on your needs. I offer daily walks, feeding, playtime, and lots of cuddles. I also have experience with grooming, bathing, and hygiene care, so your pet will always feel their best! My goal is to make sure every animal in my care feels safe, loved, and happy. I treat every pet as if they were my own, and I’m always attentive to their unique routines and preferences. Whether your pet needs a gentle walk, a cozy place to nap, or some extra TLC, I’m here to help. Thank you for considering me to care for your precious pets. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! Currently I have great availability. I can be your regular care giver several times a day, several days a week, or your occasionally, as needed. My hours are flexible to meet your needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I provide attentive, responsible care in a clean, pet-friendly environment, whether I’m visiting your home or welcoming your pet into mine. I maintain strict hygiene by regularly cleaning litter boxes and pet areas, and I’m experienced with administering medications and flea treatments safely. You can trust that your pet will never be left unattended during my visits. I always follow your instructions closely, keep doors and windows secure, and ensure your cat’s environment is calm and stress-free. I believe in open communication, so I’ll send regular updates and photos, giving you peace of mind and real-time insight into your pet’s well-being. I am committed to earning your trust through reliability, transparency, and genuine care for your furry family member. Your pet’s happiness and safety are at the heart of everything I do.

“Our puppy is a handful so we have a lot that we asked Victoria to pay attention to - she always took our instructions to heart and I really appreciated that! Our pup had a great time”


“Katie did an excellent job of cat sitting/house sitting while I was on vacation for a week. I felt at ease knowing she was there to look after my cats, and they were comfortable with her. One of them even took naps in her lap. The photos were very sweet. I will definately be using Katie again on my next vacation.”


About: I have my own dogs and treat them like they’re my children. I go out on walks pretty often and workout outside with my dogs just to stick with them. I can work anytime and any day except Friday and Saturday nights due to my part time job but any other day during the week is great! I play with them a lot, give treats but not too much, I watch tv with my dog and they seem to enjoy it as much as me!

“Fortunately for my cats and I, Justin was available to house sit due to an unexpected cancellation. It was a distressing time for me, but I felt reassured when Jistin arrived at the home and tended to the cats needs right away. I am grateful for Justin's prompt reply to my inquiries and professionalism.”


“Marney was very detailed and caring for Timon. She not only messaged and sent pictures throughout the day, but also left detailed notes and a cute report card on how the day went. She handled Timon well on their walk, even when he started acting up and biting the leash, clothes, and even her arm :( She also handled another dog who sprinted up to them and kept the two separated. Marney is very reliable and your dog will be in good hands!”


About: I’ve been around dogs and other pets my whole life, so being with pets feels like a second nature to me. My own pups are currently staying with my parents in LA, I still love getting to spend time with dogs through boarding :) I’ve used other app to sit and board pets and have maintained solid five star rating. I’m detailed oriented and always make sure to follow thorough instructions. Whether it’s giving oral medication, looking after senior or special needs pets, or just making sure your pets stick to their usual routine, I’ve got it covered! :) I also love staying active, so if your pets enjoy walks or even run, I would be happy to do so. I will treat your pets like they’re my own :) My partner and I currently work from home with the exemption of when I need to go to the office for meetings. My partner will be home 247 during boardings. At my home, I have a securely fenced yard where your pets can play and run around freely while being closely monitored. The yard is a great place for them to burn off some energy and we’re always there with them to ensure they’re safe and happy. When caring for pets in your home, I always followed the instructions you leave through the letter. I make sure their daily routine is kept consistent, and diligently provide the same level of care and attention that I would give to my own pets.

“This is the second time we've had Inha dogsit for us and she's been fantastic both times. Our pups usually take a while to get accustomed to new people, but they both clearly really like Inha. She's also very communicative and responsive. Will hopefully have a chance to get her to sit our pups again!”


“Francis did such a great job watching our pets while we were on vacation! We have a shy dog and slightly reactive dog and we’re very specific with who we needed to hire. Francis met us twice before our trip to get to know the dogs and while we were away, sent great updates. We were able to have a great time away because of how safe our animals felt with Francis! Highly recommend!”


About: Hi there furry friends! For the past years I have been taking care of our family Shih tzu, Chihuahua and Dachshunds loving pets! I am loving, caring, detail oriented and patient. I grew up with pets and comes natural to me to cuddle and snuggle! Love taking my furry friends for walks and play. I’m currently doing Rover full time. All my attention and focus is on my current and future furry friends and their pawrents. Making long term connections allows us to get to know each other better and cater to your preferences. I’m detail oriented, and like to have a meet and greet before taking care of your loving pets. Communication is key and going over your pets preferences is a base for your peace of mind while away from home. Sending updates and pictures to make you feel at ease is a must.

Kimberly P.
“I've watched my wife care for animals with more love and attention than most people give to humans. She's had pets her whole life—labs as a kid, two cats, and our sweet Havanese who she raised from puppyhood to his final days. She’s not only a true animal lover, but also deeply experienced and incredibly attentive. She’s pet sat for neighbors’ dogs, worked with aging pets who needed shots, special diets, and medications, and even bottle-fed puppies when needed. Nothing gets past her—she notices subtle changes in behavior or health that others might miss. Plus, she can handle grooming and bathing like a pro. If you're looking for someone who will treat your pet like family and give them the absolute best care, I can't recommend her enough.”
