“I’ve had such a great experience with Ryan! He is incredibly dependable and reliable, which gives me so much peace of mind when I’m away. He’s also super flexible and always willing to help out, even when I book on short notice. What really stands out is how accommodating he is—he genuinely pays attention to my dog’s needs and goes above and beyond to make sure she’s comfortable and happy. It’s clear he truly cares, and that means everything to me. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and attentive to care for their pet!”

“My pup had the best time with Brittany and Nick. She looked so comfortable and happy in all the pictures they sent me throughout my trip. I will definitely keep sending my pup with them and I trust them to take the best care of her! Thank you, both!!”

“Miri and Philipp were great with our little dog Maple and gave her lots of attention and walks on the beach which she loved! They sent lovely updates and photos and we knew she was in great hands. Will definitely be reaching out to them again in the future!”

“Jess and Max were amazing with Wolfie. He instantly loved them when we did a meet and greet. They were patient with him and sent us daily updates on how he was doing. We are so thankful to have found them to watch our doggo.”

“Victoria is amazing!! Great updates, great communication and my pup loves her! He has a slight attachment to me, and when he see's Victoria, he's like, "Mom who?!" I feel like his separation anxiety has subsided a lot and overall a much more confident baby boy. Really grateful we've found her!”

“Vicky was the best sitter I could have asked for! She provided frequent updates with details about how my pup was doing and lots of pictures and videos. She was also very thorough in organizing a meet-and-greet and requesting instructions before the stay. I really appreciated her care and thoughtfulness, and I will definitely board my pup with her again!”

“Su and her family took great care of my precious girl! She has a lot of energy and Su provided several opportunities and avenues for Zo to get her energy out. We’ll definitely be returning customers. Thanks, Su!”

“Shiyibin always takes such great care of Genji. She is communicative and caring. He’s always happy to spend some time with her like a loving auntie! I highly recommend her to anyone!”
“We had such a wonderful experience with Andrew and his partner Annie! Our dog Benji has a lot of special health requirements, and they went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable and cared for. Both were incredibly friendly and attentive—they even gave us a tour of their home and their beautiful backyard, which immediately put us at ease. We received plenty of photos and updates throughout Benji’s stay, which gave us so much peace of mind. I found them last minute after some trouble with another sitter, and I was nervous at first, but Andrew and Annie truly exceeded all expectations. I would book with them again and again. The world needs more sitters and dog lovers like these two! Thank you both!”

“This was our second time working with Ada and Gokhan, and this time it was a 9-day stretch. Once again, our dog was clearly very happy and we had total peace of mind knowing she was with them!”

About: Hi! I’m Kathleen! I work in tech and am currently between roles, so I’ve happily become a full-time dog sitter. As a dog mom myself, I know how important it is to trust someone with your pup. I’ll keep them happy, comfortable, and on their usual routine, with plenty of attention, potty breaks, and love. I’ll also send photos and updates so you know they’re doing great. I’d love to meet your pup! ❤️ I have a flexible and open schedule and plenty of time to spend with your dog. I can work around their usual meals, walks, playtime, and naps. I’ll follow your dog’s routine closely, from meals and walks to the little quirks that make them them. I have a dog at home. She loves being around other dogs and is very lazy and cuddly!
“Rachel is a true angel. During the LA fires I had to evacuate my home with no guarantees my home would be there to return to. She welcomed my dog xena with open arms. She sent constant updates to reassure me everything was OK. My xena not only returned safe but happy. Thank you Rachel!”

“Here's a possible review: "5 paws up for Shay ! She took amazing care of my fur baby, Martini , When I picked him up, Martini was exhausted but happy, and I knew he'd had a blast. Highly recommend!"”


About: What sets me apart is the level of personal attention and care I give to every pet. I understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, and I take the time to learn what makes each pet feel safe and happy. I’m patient, attentive, and dependable, and I’m comfortable caring for pets with different energy levels and personalities, including puppies, senior pets, and pets who may need extra patience or reassurance. I’m also happy to follow specific feeding, walking, medication, and care instructions. I treat pet sitting as more than simply checking in I want each pet to feel comfortable, cared for, and genuinely loved while their owner is away. I also value clear communication with owners and providing updates so they can feel confident their pet is in good hands. Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy and naturally make time for in my routine. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every animal with the same patience, kindness, and attention I would want for my own. I’m attentive to their individual personalities, routines, and comfort levels. Whether that means a morning walk, playtime, meals on schedule, medication, cuddles, or simply being there for companionship, I make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. I also believe communication is important, so I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is doing well. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel completely comfortable and confident in my care. I prioritize safety, trust, and creating a calm, comfortable environment for every pet in my care. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, needs, and any specific instructions from their owner so they can feel secure and relaxed. In a client’s home, I treat the space with the same care and respect I would my own. I make sure doors, gates, and windows are secure, keep pets away from anything potentially unsafe, and maintain a clean environment. I follow feeding, walking, medication, and other care instructions carefully. I understand that leaving your pet with someone is a big responsibility. I believe in being dependable, communicative, and attentive, and I’m happy to provide updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind while they’re away.
“Our dog just finished a 2 night stay with Laura and had a great time. Laura was responsive from the beginning, and when we met, we could tell she was a warm person and would take good care of our pup. Astraea required some medication, and Laura handled it with care and attended to all of her needs, including providing love and attention. She also sent us pics and videos and let us know how Astraea was doing, which was much appreciated! We will book again!”

“Birgitta was awesome! Riley loved staying at her home- especially the great backyard. Birgitta sent me lots of photos and videos of Riley during her stay. Everything was wonderful- thank you so much! Kim & Riley”

“Kyle was great! Super responsive, nice to meet, and took great care of our maltipoo! I loved the photo updates during her stay. Definitely recommend him. We will use him again.”

“Nicole and Ted were amazing with Bibi! She became comfortable there immediately. They sent me lots of pictures while I was away and when I came back, I could tell she had such a good time there. Will definitely be reaching out again for bookings in the future!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Playa del Rey
Jessica was welcome to both me and Dolly! She made Dolly feel immediately at home. She sent daily updates with pictures and messages on how she was doing. She also lives in a beautiful area where she took my dog on lots of walks. My dog enjoyed tons of outdoor time. I felt very comfortable with leaving her with Jessica. Definitely recommend!

Valerie was easy to book & communicated well. Our girls seemed very well taken care of & any questions Valerie had, she asked us proactively throughout their stay with her. We prefer update overload (helicopter dog parents lol) and Valerie did give updates when requested! Overall 5 stars and would definitely rebook.

We recently moved from out of town and are super protective of our boy Rookie. Meeting Maxine was such a blessing, we felt so safe & comfortable with her watching him overnight. We got photos & videos throughout the day, she took him on walks, to the beach, went the extra mile the entire stay. Would happily recommend her to anyone.

Ada was so helpful with our sunny girl! She was in contact with us the whole stay and it was clear Sunny was having the best time smiling and walking her way through town!! It was such a great feeling knowing our pup was so well taken care of while we were traveling! We will definitely be using Ada again and again!!

John and Danielle have been amazing to work with! They are both so quick to respond and they send the best pictures to keep you updated on your pet. They send frequent updates so you don’t have to worry. Georgia is always well taken care of and enjoys her time with them! I will continue to use them in the future.
