“Daniele is someone you can trust with your pets! She is very professional and caring it’s like having your family member taking care of your fur babies. She is kind, loving to our dog and cat and follows instructions 100%. I already booked next petsitting with her even before she completed the first one. I am rebooking with her again for sure!”
“Candie is the BEST cat sitter!! She sent so many pictures and videos, and really spent time playing with my cat which I so appreciated! I highly, highly recommend her!”

“Saige was absolutely wonderful with our pets. From the very first visit, she was kind, responsible, and incredibly attentive. She followed all instructions perfectly and took excellent care of our cats, including Kaito, who has special medical needs. We truly appreciated how well she documented each visit, it gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Our pets were clearly comfortable and happy with her, which means everything to us. We would 100% trust Saige again and would be more than happy to have her care for our pets in the future. Highly recommend!”

“Minay was such a caring and nice person who I can trust to have my kitties with. This was the first time I requested the help, and i am feeling very lucky to have her! Definitely reach out to her, and you will see how caring she is! Thank you Minay ❤️❤️ kitty was very happy once i met her back!”

About: Hi there! I’m a loving and reliable dog sitter who treats every pup like part of the family. Whether it’s daily walks, overnight stays, or just keeping your furry friend company, I make sure tails are wagging and pets feel safe, happy, and cared for. I know how important it is to trust someone with your dog, so you can count on me for plenty of love, playtime, and updates while you’re away. From extra belly rubs to long walks, I’ll make sure your dog feels right at home. I run my own business from home, which allows me the flexibility to care for your pups on a routine basis; whether that’s checking in on them, going on walks, or caring for them overnight—I’m here to help. I have a fenced yard with two friendly pups who enjoy making new friends. Pups are housed inside the home in a pleasant environment with frequent potty breaks.
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.
“Sofia was amazing. Built a connection with Kali almost immediately and kept her happy and healthy while I was away for the holidays. Daily photos andWill definitely ask her back the next time I'm away.”

About: Hi, I'm Mara! I'm a pet parent of three fur babies: my senior dog, Laney, and my two cats, Pip and Sushi. Growing up on a farm, I have always been an avid animal lover. I have over ten years of pet care experience, including dog and cat drop-in visits, doggy walks and hikes, overnight stays, play dates, and simply quality time. I have fostered 13 cats and kittens through Angel City Pit Bulls and Stray Cat Alliance — providing bottle and syringe feeding, medical care, and transportation to and from vet and adoption appointments. I would be honored to be your next loving and trustworthy sitter for your beloved furry family member(s). I'm a contract writer and editor allowing me to create my own flexible schedule to provide consistent and high-quality pet care for all of your fur babies' needs. I provide detail-oriented care customized to each pet's needs. My senior rescue pup, Laney, is doggy-aggressive, and I have 7+ years of ensuring safe walking and play environments for dogs and cats. I provide enriching play experiences for both dogs and cats, and always clean up after play and meal times.
About: I have many years of experience taking care of pets including dogs, cats, and small animals. My experienced care can consist of daily walks and feeding to caring for senior pets that need extra attention. I've been trusted with pets because I'm reliable and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I'll make sure you're constantly updated on how your pets are doing with lots of pictures,videos and activity reports. I focus on giving each pet the right mix of care, exercise and attention they need. If you're looking for someone dependable to look after your pet, I'd be happy to help. I have flexible availability to fit your pet care needs. I'm fully available on weekends and after 5pm on weekdays. Since I work from home during the day, this allows me to be responsive and reliable when caring for your pet at your home. I have no problems adapting my time to whatever schedule that your pet would require. For longer pet-sitting periods, I can adjust my schedule with advance notice. I provide attentive in home pet care focused on your pet's safety and comfort. I take time to build rapport with your pets throughout my stay. Please rest assured that your home and pets will be in capable, trustworthy hands while you're away.
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.
“Carley was amazing! I was a little nervous because this was the longest time we were leaving our puppy at home, and Carley really put our mind at ease - she was super communicative and sent us a lot of photos and videos of our puppy throughout her stay. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter!”

About: I’ve spent my whole life caring for animals, and most of my experience comes from my two now-senior dogs, Butterball and Millie. Growing up with them taught me hands-on skills such as administering eye drops, giving oral medications, and providing gentle senior care. I’m also a very active person, so I love taking dogs on long neighborhood walks, beach trips, or even hikes when appropriate. Butterball is a notoriously picky eater, so I’ve become very comfortable helping picky eaters feel relaxed and confident during mealtime. In addition to dogs, I’ve fostered cats of all ages for the past two years, from neonates to seniors, which has taught me how to meet their different developmental and medical needs. I currently have one cat, Beanie, who enjoys playtime, outdoor exploration on a harness, and plenty of cuddles, and I bring that same level of attention and patience to every cat I care for. I’d love the opportunity to meet your fur babies, get to know their personalities, and make sure they feel safe, loved, and well taken care of while you’re away. I am currently at pharmacy school and my schedule varies a bit from going to school at 9 am and ending latest by 3 pm. The schedule does change every few weeks but I will be sure to let you know prior! I also work every other weekend, but I will know my schedule about a month in advance and can plan around. I live in a pet-friendly apartment complex with my cat, who spends most of his day lounging comfortably. In the evenings, I set up his toys for enrichment and dedicated playtime to keep him stimulated and happy. We also live near a duck pond, which is one of his favorite places to explore on a harness he loves watching (and sometimes trying to chase!) the ducks. When I’m caring for dogs, I take the same thoughtful approach. I walk them around the apartment complex or bring them to the duck pond for a calm morning or evening stroll. After our walks, I always wipe them down to keep them clean and comfortable before settling in for cuddles and downtime. Whether I’m in my home or yours, I prioritize creating a safe, clean, and relaxed environment where pets feel secure and cared for. I follow their routines closely, keep a close eye on their comfort, and make sure they get the love, structure, and enrichment they need.
“Lucy loved playing with Jessica! I will definitely book her again. She arrived on time, had great communication, and was wonderful with Lucy. I highly recommend her 🤍”

“Julia is so sweet with my dog! Super reliable, communicative, and kind. My pup Sophie is difficult but Julia has won her trust and so I'm glad to have her back in my home hanging with my pup.”

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.
“Jenny takes great care of my cat while I’m away! She’s professional, reliable, trustworthy, friendly, and takes great care of my little guy. I love all the updates and photos she gives while I’m away. I would highly recommend her services!”

“Extremely reliable and responds very quickly!!! He came in clutch for me super last minute and was able to accommodate me and Vancouver’s needs! I think I found my new in home sitter!!!!”

“Crystal was an absolute gem with my cat. She's reliable, thoughtful, and her love for animals comes through in everything she does. The regular updates she sent gave me such peace of mind while I was away — I never had to wonder how things were going. I'll absolutely be booking with her again and would recommend her to anyone without hesitation!”

New Downtown pet parents share their Rover experiences
Taylor provided excellence care for our cat while we were away on a trip. She followed closely the regular schedule that we requested and kept us fully up-to-date. I enthusiastically recommend Taylor and will book her again when we next need someone to look after our sweetie.
I’ve used Hillary for drop in visits a handful of times now, and Apollo loves her - I can tell from the photos! Hillary is always prompt and shows up on time and sends great notes on her visits. Really grateful for her always stepping in to sit last minute. Thank you as always sooooo much Hillary!!! ❤️

We always feel so at peace knowing that our cat is being taken care of by Daniele (even as admittedly somewhat helicopter cat parents)! She goes above and beyond to coordinate and communicate always. Both we and our somewhat shy cat cannot recommend her enough!!

Stephanie was a delight to book! She went above and beyond in taking care of my cats for a whole week. She sent pictures of their meal and playtime and I could tell she put a lot of care into making sure they were happy. I came back to a clean, litter free home and two happy kitties.

This was my first time using Rover and I couldn’t be more pleased with my experience! She truly exceeded all of my expectations. She was communicative, kind, and always on time, everything you could hope for in a sitter. As a first time cat mom leaving my cat, I was a little nervous, but she made me feel completely at ease. Her updates were so thorough, and she sent lots of pictures, which was incredibly comforting while I was away. I had zero stress and full trust in her the entire time. I will absolutely be booking her every time I go out of town. She’s the best, 10/10 recommend!

Ana was absolutely wonderful and I can’t recommend her enough!! She was responsible, communicative, and clearly very experienced with cats. My kitty is extremely shy and usually takes a long time to warm up to new people, but she took to Ana surprisingly quickly, which says everything. I came home to a happy, relaxed kitty and could tell she had been very well taken care of. If you're looking for someone smart, trustworthy, and great with animals, Ana is a fantastic choice. I would absolutely book her again.

Kasumi was an absolutely fantastic cat sitter for our cat, Winnifred. From start to finish, her communication was excellent. She kept us updated with regular photos and detailed messages, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that Winnifred was receiving wonderful care and attention, and we always felt informed about how things were going. Kasumi is professional, reliable, and genuinely caring. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. Truly first-class service, and we would happily trust her with Winnifred again in the future. Highly recommended!
Sabrina took great care of my two dogs, and was very responsible and responsive. She sent me regular photo and written updates, and had strong and reliable communication. I had peace of mind knowing she was taking care of my dogs while I was traveling, and highly recommend her!
