“Echo(Qiutong) was an incredible sitter for my pet, and I couldn’t recommend her more! She was attentive, reliable, and truly treated my pet as her own. Whether it was making sure my pet was fed on time, taking them on walks, or just giving them love and attention, Echo went above and beyond. I could tell my pet felt comfortable and happy in her care, which gave me so much peace of mind. If you’re looking for someone responsible and caring, Echo is the perfect choice!”

“Christine is a wonderful caregiver for my dog Podo! She took care of him so well that Podo now waits for Christine everyday for her to watch over him! She feeds him on time, plays with him, and even walks him! If there is someone to trust to watch over your dog, you can count on Christine!”


8. Kayla W.

“Kayla was absolutely WONDERFUL with our two cats. Our cats are still acclimating to one another, and not only did she spend time with each of them but she did an amazing job at having them play together, listening to them if they had enough, and overall giving them many positive bonding experiences with each other. I also have a much more involved feeding routine/schedule for them than most people, and she followed everything perfectly. I always looked forward to her reports and pictures, and she was very thorough on her stay and how the cats were acting/feeling. I'm 100% sure they will miss her (especially Filo) and I will definitely call on Kayla again in the future!”


9. Edith C.

10. David N.
About: I grew up with dogs, they were a big part of my childhood. I've learned to love them as family, care for them and make them feel at home. For me, interacting with dogs is not only a job but necessary. I'm a very active person so I'm ready to play and run all day at the park, beach or any public spaces with your dog. I live in an apartment but I'm located nearby parks and dog friendly spaces in the Santa Monica area. I love the outdoors but don't mind staying indoors and cozy. I'm mostly available during weekdays during the day, but I'm flexible to accommodate depending in the need. I am auditioning most of the week, so my schedule is both flexible and depends on the time of my auditions. I usually go for walks with the dogs and play with them, and their preferred toys. Looking forward to meeting your furry friend(s)!


11. Ashley C.
About: I have many experience taking care of pets. I want pets to have a great experience. Therefore, I take the experience of pets very seriously. I am available most Sundays and some National/Federal Holidays, currently! Please let me know how I can help on Sundays and National/Federal Holidays. I look forward to providing the best care possible. I am very understanding and know how important pets are. Therefore, I would like to know how I can provide the best care for your pet.


12. Abigail S.

“Abigail was extremely accommodating of our last minute request and provided a very thorough report of her drop in visit! We felt very confident having her take care of Monty. Highly recommend!”




13. Hanna S.

“Hanna is a wonderful sitter and deserves the highest recommendation! She has done house visits for our two cats during two separate week long vacations and was very attentive and responsible. She proactively reached out to learn about our cats and showed a lot of affection for them during her visits. They were in very good hands. She was also flexible in terms of dates and number of visits per day. We have tried other sitters on Rover before with mixed results and are glad that we were able to hire Hanna!”


14. Sienna T.

“The actual best. Was very communicative and always sent us pictures after every visit. Will definitely rebook if we are ever out of town again, the cats loved her!”


15. Neide P.

“Neide continues to be reliable pet care. I was away for a week and she took good care of my cat, Bob. And plants too. Recommend her to anyone seeking good pet care.”


16. Jadyn G.
“Jadyn has demonstrated her devotion to pet care both as a dog mom herself, and as a dog sitter for friends and family over the years. She has a corgi, Clyde Waggins, aged 1.5 years. Since getting Clyde, I have seen nothing but unconditional love and consideration for him. She loves him more than anything else in this world, and he and his wagging tail feel the same towards her. When watching other dogs, she is patient with even the most energetic dogs that I have seen, and gives all animals the same affection that they deserve. I highly recommend her if you are looking for someone who your pet will look forward to seeing, and who you can count on to care for your pet like one of their own”


17. Nicole C.
About: I grew up spending many summers on my grandparent's farms in Portugal and Italy where taking care of our farm dogs, barn cats, and the occasional chicken were the norm! Between the countryside, the suburbs, and living in Brooklyn, I have taken care of bunnies, house cats, budgies and cockatiels, and dogs big and small for the last 9 years. I have experience with providing care and medications for senior cats and dogs as well. My practice as a yoga teacher has even prepared me to stay calm and attentive yet playful when handling your pet's needs. Currently, I work part-time and freelance as a yoga instructor, reiki practitioner, and astrologer, so I have flexibility to support your pet's schedule for care. For example, schedules could include 12-1pm drop in visits or walks, 4-7pm feeding times, or overnight care! When I stop by to care for your pet, I make sure I reread the instructions provided to me regarding you and your pets needs. I always lock up your home before, during, and after each visit and will take the time to play with your pet, hang out with them, and provide much needed love in whatever way your pet likes! Afterwards, I like to send updated photos of my time spent with your pet to give them an overview of what our time together has been like :)


18. Michelle M.
“Michelle is amazing with my Rosie, she shows as much love for my dog as I do, we hire her every time! After the first time my Rosie met Michelle they were instant friends and I knew she was the dog sitter for us! She seems to have a beautiful bond with every dog she meets and we just love her.”


19. Kathy V.

“Kathy is an amazing sitter. She did drop ins for my cat, Maisy, and was very attentive and kind. My cat takes medications and does not have a great appetite due to having cancer, and she made sure she was doing well. Kathy sent me multiple photos everyday which I really appreciated. I will definitely book Kathy again!”


20. Christa H.
About: Being a pup mom myself, I completely understand the constant and continual needs of dogs as well as the every day concerns of their humans. No two four legged friends are alike, and often it is just allowing each animal to get the care, activity and unconditional love they deserve. I treat all dogs as the kings and queens they are to our lives. In the past, I have worked in various settings from dog walking/sitting companies, to shelters and also non profits. There is no situation I would ever turn down in regards to helping these angels. I have cared for dogs of various ages, ranging from extensive senior/ special needs to constant puppy/active care. In addition, I have a fenced in dog run, all day and night HOME availability, as well as a large SUV for any surpervised outings. Your dog will only know what it is like to have amazing quality of care with someone who truly does this for them!
