About: I love animals. I grew up on a farm in Minnesota. I've always had pets. I am calm and succinct. They will be very safe. I am working part time where Iake my own schedule, so I can make any schedule work out. I live downtown and know all the good spots I love animals. They always respond to my nature. I grew up with dogs, cats, and horses. I am gentle and empathetic. I also responsible.
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life and genuinely love being around animals of all personalities and energy levels. I’m patient, reliable, and attentive to each pet’s needs, whether that means playtime, long walks, feeding schedules, or just giving them comfort and attention while you’re away. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I’ll always treat them like they’re my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work as a content creator and spend most of my time at home. This allows me to provide plenty of attention, potty breaks, playtime, walks, and companionship throughout the day. I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life, so caring for animals has always been second nature to me. I also maintain an active lifestyle and love going on walks, making it easy to keep pets happy, engaged, and well cared for while their owners are away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. Having grown up with both dogs and cats, I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I carefully follow owner instructions, maintain a clean and pet-friendly environment, and make sure pets receive plenty of supervision, affection, exercise, and enrichment. Because I work from home, pets are rarely left alone and can enjoy consistent attention and care throughout the day. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care.
“Julia was great with our dog Gene this week when she needed a few walks. She took extra time to walk her and play with her outside and even gave some attention to our cats! I could tell from the pictures that our doggie just loved her. I definitely recommend Julia and hope to get to have her walk Gene again soon!”

“I can highly recommend Sarah. She is responsible, responsive, and an obvious pet lover. She took great care of my dog with his daily walks. Also, she provided me with the most amusing observations of everything that happened on the walks.”

About: Hi friends! ☀️ A little about me: I’m Saige! I live in LA with my partner and our pets 🐶🐱 I’m the type of gal to say hi to every dog on the street and to pspspspspss at every cat I see. Animals are also better than humans, sorry. My experience: I’ve taken care of dogs my entire life, but have been lucky enough to experience being a cat parent in adulthood. I currently have one senior dog and one senior cat (with big personalities) 🤣 My partner and I had two senior cats previously that have since passed. All of our sweet babies were adopted as seniors and I have been their caretakers through all of their illnesses. So I have experience administering medicine and caring for multiple illnesses. I also previously worked at a pet store and have extensive knowledge of pet products. I’m self employed with my own business, where I work remotely and make my own hours, so my schedule is completely open. I do travel frequently, but give plenty of notice for when I’ll be away :) Your trust and comfort is my top priority. As someone who consistently uses pet sitters, I know how it feels to be away and worried about your fur baby. So constant communication and reassurance is guaranteed. I’m happy to meet new clients beforehand as well, to make pet parents more comfortable. Whatever you need, just let me know :)
About: I have two beloved cats that I've cared for for 10+ years. In addition to this, I am a regular house-and-dog sitter for a Border Collie/Black lab mix here in Los Angeles, and I grew up with both cats and dogs (and sitting for friends and family with both animals). I've given animals medicine, I've scooped hundreds of pounds of litter, and I love going on a long walk with any animal friend. I'm happy to provide whatever care you need, and as a pet owner myself I take this care very seriously. I'm taking a break from my job for a couple of months before I start school, so I have a very open schedule to provide care for your pet. I'm able to check in mornings, afternoons and evenings - really anytime your pet needs. I love to exercise, so dog walks are no problem at all either! I'm happy to spend time not just feeding/walking/scooping litter for your pet, but spending as much time needed providing them play and pets/affection. Happy to provide house sitting services as well. Sadly my space is not terribly large and already houses my own two cats, so I'm unable to provide pet boarding service at my home.

About: I’ve been caring for both cats and dogs for over 10 years, helping family and friends with their pets while they travel or have busy schedules. I currently have a Ragdoll cat that I raised from a kitten to now 2 years old, which gave me hands-on experience with kitten care, training, and daily routines. Through my experience, I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, litter box cleaning, basic grooming, and following any special care instructions. I’ve cared for pets with different personalities — from energetic puppies and playful kittens to shy, anxious, or more relaxed senior pets. I’m patient, attentive, and detail-oriented. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I also understand how important updates are, so I’m happy to send photos and check-ins for peace of mind. What sets me apart is my reliability, calm energy, and genuine love for animals. I treat every pet like my own and prioritize their comfort, safety, and happiness. I currently have a flexible schedule and make pet care a priority in my daily routine. I am available for visits and walks in the evenings during weekdays, which allows me to spend quality time with your pets after work hours when they need attention and care. On weekends, I am generally available, though I am sometimes busy Saturday mornings until around 2 pm. After that, I am available for visits, walks, and extended care. I always do my best to plan ahead and keep my schedule updated to ensure I can provide consistent and reliable care. I am happy to work with your pet’s routine and provide attentive, patient care whether your pet needs playtime, feeding, or just some extra company while you are away. When caring for pets, I prioritize safety, comfort, and following each owner’s instructions closely. Since I mainly offer walks and drop in visits in your home, I aim to keep pets in their familiar environment where they feel most relaxed and secure. During walks, I make sure pets are always safely leashed, avoid crowded or unsafe areas, and adjust the pace based on your pet’s energy level and needs. I also pay close attention to weather conditions and make sure pets stay comfortable and hydrated. For drop in visits, I follow your pet’s usual routine for feeding, playtime, and bathroom breaks. I also monitor for any changes in behavior or signs of discomfort and will communicate with you right away if anything seems unusual. I respect your home, keep things clean, and make sure doors, gates, and any pet areas are secure before leaving. I treat every pet with patience and care, and I am happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you are away.
“Brady was fantastic with my puppy! He’s very responsive and easy to communicate with, always prompt and on time for walks. He also took some of the best photos of my dog I have! I will definitely book with him again in the future.”


About: I'm super passionate about giving animals the TLC they deserve. With my experience with dog walking, general animal care, and overnight pet sitting, I've got a solid understanding of what it takes to make pets feel safe and happy. I'm all about providing a fun, comfortable, and loving environment for your fur babies, and I'm happy to share more about my experience if needed At the moment, the animals in my household are my parents pets, so my current animal care is only needed when asked. I have cared for many animals throughout my life. I have been the individual that my friends and family recommend to their friends and family for pet care for many years. I have experience with dogs, cats, fish, reptiles, and rodents. I have nothing but love and respect for animals. I’m new to this service but I’m very much looking forward to meeting you and your animal friends!
About: I'm a Los Angeles native and lifelong dog owner with a deep love for animals. 11 years ago my partner and I brought home two adorable Shiba Inu’s and the immense joy they've given our lives is unquantifiable. We've raised them both to be very sweet and social dogs with a love for walks, hikes and vigorous playtimes. We're very active hikers and take the pups on adventures through out Southern California's numerous trails. Frequenting Bronson Canyon, Griffith Park, Runyon Canyon and the Silver Lake Reservoirs during the week. On weekends we trek to a variety of great outdoor locations around the city, with the dog's favorite destination being the dog beach in Huntington. I have the added bonus of working from home, so I typically have large windows of free time and a flexible schedule. I live in DTLA with easy access to three parks - Maguire Gardens, BofA Tower Park and Grand Central Park. And there are numerous dog parks within walking distance. Ideally I'd like to build up a network of reliable professionals, who need a little help with their furry family members while at work or away on trips. My work schedule and availability are very flexible and I'll work with clients to form the best care schedule for their dog's needs. I work from home with large blocks of free time. I’m typically available weekdays during the day, most of the weekend and can be flexible with my schedule to accommodate your pet care needs. I’m a professional and love dogs; you can trust me to keep your babe safe and walk/watch them as if they’re my own. For house sitting, drop ins and walks I leave my own dogs at home and come alone for the appointments.

“Mara is great! She’s been such a huge help taking Wilma out for a walk when our schedules get too hectic. She is very gentle and patient with Wilma, and is a great communicator. We’ll definitely book Mara again soon.”

About: Hey my name is Cesar! I’m a big dogs lover but Why did I decide to start as a sitters? Because I noticed I have the superpower of understand them!!! No I don’t speak “doggie” but I instantly feel the connection with them. Plus: Currently I work from home so I have enough time to take them for a walk as many times Each dog requieres. I started as a sitter with some neighbors’ dogs and I loved it because they become my company during the day and I love walk with them on the street is just de-stressing. I like to play with them and treat them with love. For me they are a very important member of a family and they deserves being treated in the best way possible. Side note: I love taking photos!

About: I’m a responsible and active dog lover who enjoys spending time outdoors with pets. I have experience handling large dogs and energetic breeds, and I live near a spacious dog park for safe play and exercise. I’m attentive to each dog’s personality and needs, whether it’s puppy training basics, senior dog care, or maintaining their daily routine. My goal is to make every dog feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I have a very flexible schedule. I’m available most days of the week and can accommodate walks, drop-in visits, feeding, and playtime throughout the day to make sure pets receive consistent care and attention. I always prioritize safety and comfort when caring for pets.

I keep the environment clean, supervise pets during playtime, and make sure doors, gates, and surroundings are safe. My goal is to provide a calm and trustworthy environment so both pets and owners feel comfortable.
“This was my first time using a service to walk my dog. I was nervous because my dog can be a lot to handle. However, Moriah put my nerves at ease. She was great. She communicated well, sent updates, arrived on time, and sent pictures of my dog during the walk. Bonnie was eager to go on walks with her every day. I highly recommend her for walking your dog.”

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was 13! I am currently on a Pre-Vet track while attending UC Merced. I have experience handling both cats and dogs in a veterinary clinic setting. I’ve worked with plenty of shelters where I would ensure the animals were well fed, socialized, and was able to create a clean/safe environment for them to the best of my abilities. I have 2 golden retriever dogs back in my hometown that I personally trained and raised since they were puppies when I lived with my parents. I am a full time student at UC Merced, however my classes are pretty condensed so I have a good amount of free time each day and all my evenings are 100% free. When I am entrusted with your furry friend I will always be sure to make time for their walks and keep to their feeding schedule! Weekends would be my most availability as it’s the days I don’t have classes. My house has a fenced backyard, and my housemates do have dogs and cats of their own and they are friendly towards other animals! If needed I’ll limit their interaction as I do have my own space in the house which is where your pet would be staying!
“Saron went far above and beyond what would be expected of a walker. I am so grateful for Saron's care, sensitivity, kindness, and consideration. I would recommend Saron to anyone needing a dog walker, it is clear that your dog's safety and well-being will be of highest priority.”

New Downtown dog parents share their Rover experiences
MInh was INCREDIBLE. She walked my dog every day for a week and my dog loved her. She sent lots of pictures and updated me on the goings on of the walk and how my dog was doing. She took great care with both my dog and my house and I be hiring her again in the future. Plus she was super kind and had a great energy about her. Thanks Minh!

Charlotte is absolutely fantastic—the best dog walker ever! She has been walking my high-energy, 1-year-old husky puppy, Maverick, for a month now and consistently goes the extra mile. When I sprained my foot, Charlotte even cleaned up Maverick’s mess in my apartment and grabbed my grocery essentials so I wouldn't stress. Maverick is super hyper and prone to pulling, but Charlotte is incredibly patient and kind. She actively trains him to focus and calm down. They have built a wonderful bond, and he gets so excited the second he sees her! She is completely reliable, always goes above and beyond, and walks him way longer to ensure he burns off his energy and gets a great, happy workout. She truly treats him like her own. I always have total peace of mind knowing Maverick is in such caring hands, especially she also communicates so well and sends great photo and video updates. I highly recommend her! Extremely grateful to have found Charlotte—she truly loves animals and is exceptionally genuine and caring.

Lily was absolutely wonderful! She was so kind, and my pup immediately took to her. She was very communicative, flexible with scheduling, and made the whole experience feel easy and stress-free. I felt 100% confident having my pup in her care. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!

I had a great experience with Mariajose. She took Coco out for a 30-minute walk while I was at a family gathering, and I could tell Coco really enjoyed their time together. Mariajose was kind, reliable, and kept me informed, which I really appreciated. It gave me peace of mind knowing Coco was getting some exercise in my absence. I would definitely recommend Mariajose to anyone looking for a caring and dependable dog walker, even for a one-time service.
