About: Hi! My name is Su, and I'm based in the San Fernando Valley. I've been providing pet care for roughly 5 years. Having grown up around animals, caring for pets has always been a natural part of my life. I also have two cats of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or just wants some company and cuddles, I'm happy to provide attentive, reliable care tailored to their needs. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. This summer, I'm available Monday through Friday at any time, with occasional weekend availability as well. I look forward to meeting you and your pets, and I can't wait to help give them the care they deserve! I've worked with children for the past 7 years, many of whom have special needs, which has helped me develop patience, reliability, and strong attention to detail. Since I'm off for the summer, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I'm available on weekdays from 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM, with occasional weekend & housesitting availability. Because of my flexible schedule, I can easily fit walks, drop-in visits, playtime, feedings, medication (if needed), and plenty of love and attention into my daily routine. I'll make sure your pet's routine stays as consistent as possible while you're away, so they feel comfortable, cared for, and happy. I understand that inviting someone into your home and trusting them with your pet is a big decision.

I'll follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications (if needed), playtime, and any household guidelines you provide. I treat every home with respect by keeping it clean, secure, and exactly as I found it. If requested, I'll also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you're away.

“Samantha is doing such a great job taking care of my cat Tyler while I’m out of town. I love the thought and attention she puts into her reviews and photos. You can tell she gets along with pets naturally. thanks Sam!”

“Alexis and Melisa were very nice. They came for a meet and greet first and were very flexible. On the day of the drop in, Alexis arrived early, sent several pictures and asked a couple of questions. The most important thing was for one of the dogs to eat and that happened with no problem. There was one small problem with locking my back door but I’m certain that wouldn’t happen again. All in all they are a nice couple with an adorable baby and took care of my dogs as promised.”

Northridge pet parents share their Rover experiences
Kate was wonderful to work with when taking care of my KitKat! KitKat seemed really happy and open for pets with Kate. She was also great with giving KitKat her daily pills. Thank you again for watching her! I highly recommend Kate for watching your little ones!

Shahrzad is an amazing sitter! We have used her three times now and she is always on time for feeding and playtime. She is very sweet with all my pets, 3 large dogs and a cat! Shahrzad takes her work very seriously and sends pictures and videos every day. She makes sure the animals have all that they need before she leaves after her drop in. She loves dogs and engages in fun play activities with them! Highly recommend to everyone!
Halle provided 3x a day drop in visits over four days. She was always on time and stayed with Luka for at least the the amount of time requested. Halle did everything asked of her and bonded nicely with Luka. So much so, that I'm sure Luka was hoping that it was Halle at the door instead of us. I would gladly have Halle watch Luka again.

This was my first time using Rover and she made it the best experience possible she went above and beyond and communication she was on time she sent pictures. She had cute commentary and honestly, our animals loved her. I can't wait for her to watch them again as she cared so much for my animals and I can't thank her enough for giving us the peace of mind while we were out of town

Jackie did an absolutely wonderful job caring for our cat and dog while we were away, truly the best pet sitter we’ve had in years. She is incredibly kind, attentive, and full of positive energy. It gave us such peace of mind knowing our pets were in such loving and capable hands. We came home to two very happy, well-cared-for animals! We couldn’t be more pleased and will absolutely be asking her to pet sit for us again. Highly recommend!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding Dog Sitter – Highly Recommend Gabby! Gabby did an amazing job taking care of our two dogs, Charlie and Lulu, while we were away in the U.S. Virgin Islands for the weekend. She visited twice a day and was consistently reliable, attentive, and caring. She made sure they were fed properly, had fresh water, and got plenty of playtime and attention each visit. It was clear that she genuinely cared about their well-being, and that peace of mind made our trip so much more enjoyable. Both dogs were happy, relaxed, and well cared for when we returned, which says everything. Gabby communicated well, showed up exactly as promised, and treated our home and pets with respect. We would absolutely book her again and highly recommend Gabby to anyone looking for a trustworthy, loving, and dependable dog sitter. Charlie and Lulu were in great hands 🐶🐾
