About: I’ve always been obsessed with dogs for as long as I can remember. I got my first dog when I was 6, and she became the love of my life. I cared for her until I was 19. She was my best friend, part of my daily routine, and went everywhere with me. Since then, I’ve had two rescue dogs, Nani (6) and Lupita (2), who are my whole world. My pets are truly family! They sleep with me, have birthday parties, and are treated with all the love and care they deserve. Because I know how hard it is to trust someone with your biggest treasure, I care for every pet as if they were my own. All my friends always leave their dogs with me when they travel because they know how much love and attention I give to every animal. I have experience walking, bathing, grooming, and playing with dogs of all ages. I’ve also trained my own dogs to follow simple commands like sitting, catching the ball, and peeing on command. I have experience caring for both puppies and senior dogs, my first dog had cancer, and I made sure her final years were full of love and comfort. I run my own business from home, so I have a super flexible schedule! I’m home most of the day, which means your pets will always have company, attention, and lots of love. I can easily adjust my routine for walks, drop-ins, or overnight care. I don’t host pets in my home because I need to respect my older dog, Nani, she’s super sweet but takes time to get comfortable around new dogs. Instead, I offer house sitting and walks at the client’s home. This way, your pet can stay relaxed in their own space, following their routine and getting all the love and care they need.
“Awa was amazing as always. She went above and beyond to make sure our pup was happy and comfortable. We always know she’s in great hands with Awa, thank you!! ❤️”
“Sarah is amazing! Our dog loves her and so do we!! It was great getting regular status updates which helped us relax and know our baby was in great hands. Highly recommend!”
“Julie was wonderful! She followed all my instructions when it came to my little senior fur baby & treated him like her own. She’s reliable, responsible & caring. I’d highly recommend her for your pet!”
About: Moving to LA meant leaving my family dogs back home. Missing my four-legged besties led me to the world of pet sitting. My experience ranges from caring for Golden Retrievers to Bengal cats. With love and respect at the forefront, I take care of every pet as if it is one of my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. I’m able to plan my day around the pets in my care, whether that means sticking to specific feeding times, playtime, walks, or just being present for companionship. Because of this flexibility, I’m more than willing to adjust and mold my schedule to meet each owner’s specific needs and ensure their pet’s routine stays consistent and stress-free. I focus on creating a comfortable, stress-free experience by sticking closely to each pet’s normal routine. I follow all care instructions carefully so pets feel secure and at ease. In my home, I provide a clean, safe, and calm environment with plenty of attention, affection, and enrichment. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and aim to keep everything consistent for the pet, which helps reduce anxiety while their owner is away. On top of that, I also pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and needs, making adjustments as needed and ensuring they’re happy and comfortable. Communication is important to me, so I provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind.
“We are SO lucky to have found Tracy. Starting with our initial meet and greet she was flexible with scheduling and right on time – we loved her immediately, as did our Maltese! Tracy housesat our Maltese for 10 days while we were in Europe. She was great at communication while we were away. We got regular updates with pictures and videos of our happy pup. Our dog has separation anxiety, is pretty high energy, and admittedly a handful to say the least. Tracy took such good care of her, we were able to relax and enjoy our vacation without any stress or worrying about our dog. When we got back our house was cleaner than we had left it, and our dog was so happy and relaxed! Our dog does not always connect with people but you can clearly see that she LOVES Tracy, she is a true animal person. We are so excited to have met Tracy and look forward to having her sit for us again. If you’re looking for a pet sitter, we highly recommend her!”
“Fidana is FANTASTIC!! So much so that I think my cat, Noah, misses her! Haha! She is detail-oriented, quick to respond, and most of all, has a loving heart! She sent photos and videos daily, and reassured me that Noah was doing well! This made a huge difference in my trip because I typically feel anxiety when I’m away from Noah. I highly highly highly recommend her!! I most certainly will be hiring her again! Thank you so much, Fidana, for taking such sweet care of my boy! 😻❤️🙏”
“Jasmine has been watching Zuko since he was small and he loves her! She's very patient and kind with our pup. She follows our instructions for his care and sends updates with photos often. She left our apartment nice and clean as well. Will definitely continuing working with Jasmine!”
“We were hesitant to leave our senior dog with someone new, but after meeting Lilian, we were immediately at ease. She didn’t bat an eye at my extremely lengthy instructions and sent lots of photos and videos. Our sweet girl takes some extra care and patience and we are so grateful that we were able to enjoy our vacation knowing she was in the best of hands. Our furnace went out the day before we returned and she handled it all without a glitch (despite a freezing cold house). We feel lucky to have found Lillian!”
About: I've been caring for cats since I was atleast 8. One of our cats was a stray who I bonded with over many months and continue to bond with now even though she is a bit frosty in her old age. The trust we have built for each other has been a beautiful experience. My family rescued a senior dog in 2016 and I have helped to care for her since then. I have a soft spot for senior dogs and want to make them as comfortable as I can. I work part time at the LMU library so my hours are pretty minimal. I work Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday in the evenings. As I am hoping this will be a second source of income I am pretty flexible with my schedule as long as it doesn't interfere with my other job. I do not like to make a mess or any sort of impression in places that I visit. I am very patient with animals. If your pet is anxious or introverted I am fine to keep to myself completely or get to know them on their terms. I would never want to cross any line with a pet or homeowner.
“Sam was very communicative and professional, giving us lots of photos and updates during his first sit with our pup. Was able to manage our high energy golden retriever puppy with no issues!”
“I am so happy that I had Liana care for my dog Sparky. Sparky is a geriatric special needs dog that needs medication for heart disease 6 times a day. He also has degenerative disc disease so needs help going up steps and lifting him. Liana was tender and lovingly caring for Sparky, knew where he was all the time he was in her care. I highly recommend her without any reservations. I was totally at ease knowing Liana was cring for Sparky.”
“Danielle was so great with Bear, and put me at ease while I was away for an extended trip. She stuck to his schedule seamlessly, provided lots of adorable photo updates and made sure my apartment was as clean as she found it. Could not recommend Danielle enough!”
“We booked Nicholle for a one-night stay with our pups and really appreciated that she was available last-minute! She sent plenty of photo updates and kept us in the loop, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Thanks again for helping out on short notice!”
“Siena was able to accommodate my last minute house-sitting request and was great! Very communicative, sent lots of happy photos with my dog and made sure he was well taken care of (like putting on calming dog music on my TV for him before she left the house)!”

Melia was wonderful. She had good communication with me throughout the duration of her time house sitting and watching my cat. She also understood how to properly care for a cat who is more shy and takes time to get comfortable around new people. Melia was able to get my cat to come out and play, which several cat sitters had a hard time doing. I would definitely recommend Melia.
Fidana was amazing! I have had not so great sitters in the past and she really made me feel so comfortable. I have a 65lb big boy that requires extra attention when walking. She not only kept me post when I was away but constantly sent me videos of my dog. 100/100 Fidana is the best!!
We were so lucky to have snagged Aech when we needed to extend our last trip. Really appreciated the regular check-ins and photos of our girl. Luna was perfectly content with their time together, as were we! Will be happy to leave our pup in such great hands when we head out of town again. Thanks so much 🖤🤍
I cannot recommend Jillian highly enough. I have two cats, Oliver and Bowie, and I recently had to leave town shortly after Oliver was diagnosed with megacolon. As any pet parent who has gone through a health scare knows, leaving your pets behind under those circumstances can be incredibly stressful. I was nervous about being away, especially given the medication schedule and monitoring Oliver required. From the moment Jillian stepped in, I felt completely at ease. She is a true cat person through and through. Not only was she comfortable managing Oliver’s medical routine, she handled it with confidence, care, and attention to detail. She never made me feel like I was asking too much, and it was clear she genuinely cared about his wellbeing. Throughout the stay, Jillian sent consistent, thoughtful updates that gave me real peace of mind. She shared details about how the cats were doing, photos, and little observations that made it obvious she was paying close attention and spending quality time with them. What stood out most was that it felt like she genuinely enjoyed being with them. My cats weren’t just being cared for; they were being loved. When your pet is dealing with health issues, trust becomes everything. Jillian earned mine completely. I came home to two happy cats and felt grateful knowing they had been in such capable hands while I was away. I would book Jillian again without hesitation and fully expect she’ll be my go-to cat sitter for years to come. If you’re looking for someone who is dependable, communicative, compassionate, and truly understands cats, you will be lucky to have her care for your pets.
Danielle was so great with Bear, and put me at ease while I was away for an extended trip. She stuck to his schedule seamlessly, provided lots of adorable photo updates and made sure my apartment was as clean as she found it. Could not recommend Danielle enough!
Sarah & Karl was our first Rover booking ever. We were super scared because all the tik tok horror stories but knew we had to give this a shot. We started with what we considered to be a trial run (mainly for us and the dogs) so booked them as a drop-in job. It went great. We only booked them for an hour but got an abundance of photos and check in messages throughout the hour. It helped to put me at ease on my husband and I's date night.
Barbara stayed in our home with our 14-year-old Labradoodle, Dolly, for five nights while we attended my mother’s funeral on the East Coast. I would absolutely hire her again. She is reliable, caring, thorough, loving, and kind. Dolly has pretty severe separation anxiety when left alone, and Barbara went above and beyond to keep her comfortable. She stayed by Dolly’s side the entire time and took her everywhere with her—three walks a day, out to lunch, to our community pool, the dog park, shopping, and more. She was very mindful of our concerns about both minimizing stress for a senior dog and avoiding any barking that could disturb neighbors. When we returned, our home was spotless and thoughtfully cared for. She even washed the sheets and emptied the dishwasher, which was so appreciated after a difficult trip. It was also incredibly helpful that Barbara came several days in advance to meet us and Dolly, so by the time we left, Dolly already felt comfortable with her. Throughout our time away, I felt completely confident that Dolly was in excellent hands. I also deeply appreciated her daily updates, videos, and thoughtful questions. I highly recommend Barbara for any pet care needs. She treated Dolly with genuine love and attention, and I’m so grateful for the care she provided during such an important and emotional time. Thank you so much, Barbara. 🙏🏻
Ann was THE BEST! This was my first rover experience and she took such incredible care of my golden retriever pups. She sent updates all throughout the day, and really helped me enjoy my vacation without stressing about my dogs. I HIGHLY recommend her and will definitely use her again in the future :)
Meesii did a great job watching Koda for two weeks! Our initial sitter backed out with only a few weeks until our vacation but Meesii saved the day. We met a couple times before we left so she could get to know Koda and learn her routine, which can be overwhelming given her medication and walk needs. While we were gone we got frequent updates, and it was clear Koda was very comfortable with her. I highly recommend Meesii if you’re in need of a sitter!
Brie took such good care of our Maxine. She came over for a meet & greet a few weeks beforehand, and had great communication throughout our booking. Lots of photos from playing and walks! Our home + pup were in great hands with Brie- she has a calm presence and handled everything professionally. Will definitely book again! ♥️🐶
