“Marcelle is wonderful! She took special care of our timid dog Winnie. I loved that she was very communicative through the whole process and she made time to see our house and meet Winnie in advance of the scheduled walk. She has a kind heart and we will definitely book her again!”
“Sonomi has been walking my dog while I’ve been out of town, and she’s been a gem. He’s my furbaby, a BIG furbaby, and I’m so grateful that he’s in great hands. Thank you Sonomi!”

About: A few fun facts about me: 🚽 I clean the litter box as often as I flush my own toilet 🥗 My pets eat organic, while I’m perfectly fine with fast food 💇 They get daily grooming, while I have a bad hair everyday 🫧 I keep their bowls spotless and shining 🦮 I make sure dogs get real walks, not just quick potty breaks (And this part might be a little bit long) I truly treat pets as family, but I also believe in raising them in a healthy, balanced way. I don’t just love them, I care about their physical and emotional well-being. I’ve raised my Shiba Inu (Chai) since she was 3 months old, and she’s now 10. Shibas are known for being stubborn, but she is well-trained, emotionally stable and sweet, and always praised by our vet for her health and temperament. I’ve always made sure she has the best care, structure, and attention she needs to thrive. I also have two long-haired cats, one Ragdoll (Mabu) and one British Longhair (Mango), so I’m very familiar with the level of grooming, patience, and daily care they require. Their coats are always well-maintained and tangle-free. Mango went through serious health challenges two years ago when he was 5-month old, and I personally managed his treatment at home for 84 days, followed by months of close care. He is now strong, active, and very healthy. I’ve also handled emergency situations and know how to act quickly when something isn’t right. Through all of this, I’ve become very comfortable with medications, health monitoring, and understanding different pet personalities. I’m patient, observant, and detail-oriented, but also calm and reliable in stressful situations. I’m flexible, communicative, and I genuinely care. Your pet won’t just be looked after, they’ll be understood, respected, and cared for like one of my own. I work part-time and have a pretty flexible schedule, so I’m able to spend a good amount of time caring for fur babies throughout the day! I keep a calm, safe home and have experience helping cats and dogs live together comfortably. I take time to understand their personalities and make sure everyone feels at ease.
About: I have taken my daughter’s and friends dogs out for walks, I enjoy interacting with dogs have watched my daughter’s dog for overnight for few nights. I take walks couple times every day and I’m retired so enjoy interacting with animals. I have large backyard and enjoy gardening and nature. Play with them, feed them and take for long walk with them. Cuddle them. Talk to them I also have big backyard so if needed can care for them there
“Irene was wonderful with Loki. Loki is very high energy and often reactive towards other dogs and men, but he’s always on his best behavior for her. He even made another dog-friend on a walk with her - which has NEVER happened before. The photos of him on his walk make my day! He loved her from the start and I’m so grateful for her help with him. Highly, highly recommend her!”

About: There's nothing I love more than caring for animals, and I bring genuine warmth and attentiveness to every pet I look after. I had the joy of sharing my life with my own dog for 12 wonderful years. In his later years, he needed senior care: managing medications, watching for subtle changes in mood or appetite, accommodating slower walks and extra rest, and giving him the patience and tenderness that older dogs deserve. That experience taught me how much the small details matter, especially for pets in their golden years. Beyond my own dog, I've long been the go-to sitter in my community, caring for the pets of neighbors, friends, and family. I've handled everything from energetic puppies to anxious rescues to easygoing seniors, and I genuinely enjoy learning each animal's quirks, routines, and personality. What sets me apart is simple: I'm incredibly attentive, deeply patient, and treat every pet like they're my own. Whether your dog needs gentle senior care, lots of playtime, or just a calm, loving presence while you're away, I'll do my very best to make them feel safe, happy, and right at home. Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate walks, drop-ins, and sitting at almost any time of day, any day of the week. Whether it's an early morning walk, a midday check-in, or overnight care, I can make it work. In your home: I treat your space with the same respect and care I'd want in my own. I follow your routines closely: feeding schedules, walk times, favorite spots, house rules so your pet feels minimal disruption while you're away. I'm tidy, responsible with keys and security, and I'll send regular photo and text updates so you always know how things are going. I'm also comfortable bringing in mail, watering plants, or rotating lights if that helps your home feel lived-in. In my home: My home is a calm, safe, pet-friendly environment with plenty of space for rest and play. I keep hazards out of reach, secure doors and gates, and give each pet a quiet spot to settle in. Pets are never left unattended for long stretches, and I tailor the day around their personality whether that's lots of play and walks or peaceful lounging nearby. I'm especially mindful with senior dogs, making sure bedding is comfortable, footing is secure, and medication or feeding schedules stay exactly on track. Safety & trust: I'm attentive to subtle changes in behavior, appetite, or energy - often the first signs something's off. I keep emergency vet info on hand, follow any care instructions to the letter, and will always reach out immediately if anything seems unusual. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priority, every single time! :)

About: I’ve been raised around animals of all kinds since I can remember, my mother regularly raised foster kittens and we had foster dogs constantly in and out of the house. I currently still foster dogs and kittens on my own and am the go to sitter for all my friends and family. Spent years volunteering at shelters and rescues and also worked at a pet store for over a year. Also lover of small critters being a mom of fish, frogs, a hamster, and a spider. I currently work from home selling artwork and crafts so I’m very flexible with my schedule. I can stay all day or even over night and make sure to keep your pet company. I’m an avid hiker so I’d be more than happy to take your dog for a long hike (with permission obviously) or shorter walks around the neighborhood. I would only need to leave for short errands and to feed my own pets if my partner is unable to do so, but majority of time is dedicated to your Pets in your home. I’ve worked with animals of all ages and personalities and can accommodate any special needs your pet may have. If they are shy and need time to warm up, I will do all I can to gain their trust. If they need specialty food or medication, I have my own cats on a strict medication schedule so I’m more than used to it. If they are high energy and need lots of exercise I will make sure to get them up and running around as much as they need. I just want to make sure their lives are just as comfortable as when you are home with them.
About: Hi, I'm Amyra! 😊 Animals are my pride and joy. I have done numerous amounts of professional and volunteer work with animals including horses. I've worked with dogs of all sizes, and of many different backgrounds. With that being said, I have some experience with aggressive and reactive dogs as well. Winning an anxious dog over is my specialty. I'm very good with puppies and kittens, and to be honest, I tend to baby any animal regardless of how old they are. I have worked with sick dogs who frequently needed to be groomed and cleaned up due to medical issues. I've worked with many blind and deaf dogs as well. I have worked with cats very closely at multiple animal shelters. I also have experience with special needs cats with cerebellar hypoplasia which is much like the cat equivalent of cerebral palsy. So if your pet has any special needs, there will never be an issue. I'm very flexible, I have a great love for animals, and I can provide you with the best quality of care for your pets who I like to refer to as "fur babies" seeing as they're practically family members. Also, my boyfriend who has a Rover account as well often splits bookings with me when we get busy, so if it ever says I'm booked you may still reach out for him! We are both certified and trained in Pet First Aid by the American Red Cross. Additionally, he has landscaping experience and I have housekeeping & organizing experience so if you need your house cleaned, plants watered, or lawn mowed for longer stays we provide that as well. We have also taken care of our client's pools for longer stays, so you can rest assured that your home will be in perfect condition from every aspect when you return from your trip. I work remotely as a paralegal so I have plenty of time on my hands to spend with your pups! I'll treat your pets like they're my own and provide them with the most love. I can provide plenty of walks, and even a run or two throughout the day if needed as well. Check out my Facebook page Amyra Khair's Pet Care to follow along on my petsitting adventures! Every animal I watch receives tons of love no matter what! I can also provide references upon request. My boyfriend and I just moved to the area from New York where we have been petsitting professionally for 6 years. We've had the pleasure of watching over 50 adorable pups and kitties. With the both of us, your pets will definitely recieve plenty of love! If for any reason your pet doesn't like men, I'm available on my own as well. We currently share a vehicle so I like for people to meet him as well.
“2nd time booking with Bella but this time I booked very last minute. Thank goodness she was pretty flexible! My pup has a high energy levels so these walks help a whole lot to tire him out. Bella is very sweet and nice—10/10 recommend.”

About: I’ve had a drive to care for animals my entire life! I grew up with dogs and mostly cats and would dog-sitting for family members anytime they needed! I’ve always known that I wanted to work with animals when I grew up but veterinary care would make me too sad as it physically pains me to see sad and hurt animals:( I also have a history with horses and competing! I spent a summer(2023) in Louisiana volunteering at a barn where retired racehorses would get sent to rehab, retrain, and eventually rehome! I would spend all day helping rehab the horses! I worked at PetSmart both in the store as a PetCare Specialist and in the Grooming Salon as a Professional Bather! During my time there I realized how much I love making pets and their parents happy and a little more healthier! I loved talking with pet parents and educating them while also hearing about their furry babies! Nothing made me happier than seeing one of my clients walking in - tail wagging! I have a dog and a cat of my own! My dog is a mini Australian Shepherd whom I have trained myself! He loves to do agility training! I also groom him myself! I rescued my cat from the side of a freeway when he was a little kitten. He’s had some medical issues regarding his bladder so I’m well rounded with cat care and administering medicine! My cat is now my little Velcro kitty who always wants to be involved in what I’m doing! I’ve worked with all kinds of dogs- big and small! While I normally don’t have a preference between the two, I am currently pregnant with my first so I’m only really able to physically handle small/medium dogs for the time being. As a pet mom myself, pet care is a daily routine for me! I am a stay at home wife (soon to be mom) and spend most of my days spoiling my dog and cat! I’m new to the area so I don’t really have much that gets me out of the house and I absolutely love being around animals so I figured why not try to fill my time by helping other pet parents out who may not have as much time on their hands as I do! I’m very flexible with scheduling and last minute bookings so never hesitate to reach out! During my time working in the PetSmart grooming salon, I became very used to nervous and anxious dogs as grooming time can be very stressful for pets! I’d say I’m pretty good at recognizing anxious behavior and doing my best at making pups more comfortable! I also understand how nerve wracking it can be to trust someone with your pet - especially someone new! I have had an experience in the past that left me traumatized when it comes to leaving my pets in someone else’s care. So I too understand that overwhelming need to check in on your baby and make sure everything is going well! I promise you, as someone who has been on the other end, I am always welcoming to multiple check in texts, long lists, picture requests, and the need for as many details as possible! I’m someone who likes to feel sure in what they’re doing so if I have any questions or concerns- they will be brought up immediately. I never like to assume because there’s always a chance I could be wrong, so I like to get all the details!
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover and educator with a flexible schedule on weekends, holidays, and during the summer. After sharing 14 wonderful years with my French Bulldog, Bijoux, I found Rover to be a special way to continue caring for dogs—even when I didn’t have one of my own. I have open availability on weekends, holidays, and throughout the summer. During your pet’s stay, I am home full-time and provide attentive, one-on-one companionship. I never double-book or care for multiple pets at the same time, ensuring your pet receives my full focus and care. I live with my partner in a townhome, and he is also an educator who shares my love for dogs. Together, we provide a caring, calm environment where your fur baby will receive plenty of extra love and attention. A meet-and-greet will always be scheduled before any service to get to know you and your pet. This gives us time to connect, discuss important details about your pet’s needs and routine, and ensure that my services are the right fit for both you and your pup. I care for every pet as if they were my own. I understand how important it is to share detailed instructions when leaving your dog in someone else’s care, so please feel free to tell me anything that will help me provide the best possible experience—whether it’s medical needs, preferences, routines, or special quirks. My goal is to offer consistent, loving care that mirrors what your pet receives at home.
About: We've had dogs all of our lives. We'll love yours like our own! Experienced with diabetic dogs, intact dogs, and pups with unique needs. Families continually ask us back because their dogs feel at home with us. We are attentive and provide warm, consistent care, and a bunch of pictures because we know the feeling of being apart from our dog family when we go on vacation. Home care opportunities are welcomed, and we keep your place super tidy as how you left it! We are currently just a one-dog owner as we lose our Rachel in January and are trying to keep our Sunny active/involved with another dog even if only for walks. We walk our dog 4x/day some shorter and some longer, but based on your dogs needs, we'll adjust accordingly. We live in a condo building so we have to take your dog out to relieve themselves. Depending on their needs, we'll go out at least 4x day or less if desired. We'll work with you to understand your dog's needs and we'll meet them. They will always be leashed and guided along your neighborhood or ours.
About: I have 30 years of experience caring for pets, from giant breeds to bunnies. My heart belongs to rescues; I currently have two lab mixes rescued from LA County. I’m deeply comfortable with large, energetic dogs and sensitive strays, providing the patient, reliable care every good boy or good girl deserves. As a small business owner, I dedicate my full attention to supporting professionals who work full-time. I offer reliable morning, midday, and late afternoon visits to ensure your furbabies get the exercise, potty breaks, and love they need while you are at the office. My schedule is consistent, allowing for a dependable routine that both you and your pets can count on every day. I prioritize safety above all else, especially for large breeds and rescues. My experience with LA County rescue dogs means I am highly skilled at reading body language and managing leash reactivity or anxiety. I treat every client's home with the utmost respect and ensure all pets are secured and comfortable before I leave. You can trust that your furbabies are in capable, vigilant, and loving hands.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the quality time and one on one attention I will provide to help your pet feel comfortable, cared for, and loved while their favorite people are away. Your furry friend will quickly start to feel like my furry friend too! Although I don’t have professional pet sitting experience yet, I grew up with family pets throughout my childhood - having three cats and a dog living under the same roof, and eventually welcoming two more cats into our family years later. Growing up around both cats and dogs helped me become attentive to different personalities, routines, and comfort levels, especially when it comes to creating a calm and caring environment. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I have a flexible weekly schedule in including the weekends, which allows me to dedicate quality time and attention to your pet. I work from home on Wednesday’s and Friday’s allowing for more flexibility on those week days. M, T and Th I work in office, but am flexible in the evening once I am home from work. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m happy to follow feeding schedules, refresh water, clean litter boxes, provide playtime and companionship, and send photo updates while you’re away.
About: Hello! My name is Brianna. I love all dogs and cats. I have become the de facto pet-sitter among all my friends and family over the last 4 years. I thought I would continue my love of pets on Rover! I've taken care of animals of all sizes; from under 10 lbs. small dogs and cats all the way to 60 lbs. German Shepard mixes! I'm am currently on summer break, so pet care fits right into my schedule. I am available for dog walking or house sitting most mornings, days and evenings! I will strive to create a familiar and stable routine for your pet filled with love and care; while also respecting your home. I am of the firm belief that if the animal should let you, you have to pet them. So rest assured that any pet of any size will be showered with affection.

Highly recommend Randi! She is professional, punctual, and provenherself to be trustworthy. She took the time to genuinely understand my dog's needs and they hit it off immediately. She gave my dog a fantastic walk and even spent time playing ball. Excellent service all around. We will definitely be rebooking.

Bridget has been nothing short of amazing! She goes above and beyond to communicate, take pictures, takes Mr. Bear on different / long walk routes to keep things interesting, and truly treats Bear as if he’s her own. Couldn’t ask for a better person to take care of my canine son 💓

Sahba was so great with my large breed dog with special needs. He was great with coordinating time and taking extra care to make sure my boy was comfortable. His calm demeanor and lovely energy were well received and very appreciated. Definitely recommend him for anyone looking for an attentive and caring sitter.

We had a wonderful experience! She did an excellent job walking my dog, Vivi. Vivi absolutely loves her and was always so happy to see her. She was reliable, caring, and clearly treated Vivi with lots of love and attention. I felt very comfortable knowing Vivi was in great hands. Highly recommend!
I’m so glad I found Brie, she’s amazing!!❤️ I was so nervous leaving my rescue pitbull baby who’s reactive and a runner if she gets out. Brie was so attentive to all of my concerns and made me feel so comfortable. She was so accommodating to my strange requests and consistently sent updates, and the cutest photos! I was able to turn off my helicopter mom brain while I was away, it was wonderful 😭🥰 Thanks again!!
