“Mollie is AMAZING!! She has been successful where others failed in getting my 2 very lazy very stubborn bulldogs to go for their morning walks. She's very patient and nurturing. She is also incredibly punctual, professional, and as sweet as can be! Highly recommend her if you're looking for a dog walker”



“Traci was able to walk our pup last minute and was so lovely 😭. She was better than I could’ve hoped for! I will definitely have her back as often as she is available!!”


“I worked with Ariane when we lived on the Eastside and she is amazing. My sweet senior Jackson loved her. Plus, she adapted to him and his needs when he started getting very old. I am very grateful to her.”


“Cloe was amazing. It was a last minute booking and she was available. We have a rescue dog who has some odd quirks but she managed him so well and was very detailed about the walk. Highly recommend Cloe.”


“Jonalyn has been walking our dog regularly for a bit over a month, and we (including our dog) have been very pleased! She goes above and beyond to be very accommodating, maximizes the walking time, and sends tons of action pics of their walks.”


“Lilit was flexible adapting walks/playtime based on Ferdi's sensitivity to the heat wave. This was very much appreciated 👏 and really shows how attentive Lilit is to my puppy's needs. Thank you!!”



“Alina is fantastic with my pup Emma! Alina is great with communication before, during, and after the walk and really took the time to get to know my dog during the meet and greet. Emma is already looking forward to the next time she and Alina can go for a walk!”


About: I grew up with several cats and dogs and they always seem to have a great time around me! I’ve watched over a couple of my friends’ pets in my ten years in Los Angeles! Usually, I walk dogs first thing in the morning and I try to get them out for two more times. My aim is to have the dog and I be outside for two long walks daily. I respect your dog’s space and I try to keep their feeding on a strict schedule, but if they’re friendly and approach me, I might have to give them a pet or two!

About: ABOUT ME 😊 I grew up with a pure bred 120 pound St. Bernard, two cats, and turtle to love and care for. I've also had three hamsters, two rabbits, and a ball python along the way, so animals have always been a part of my life and extended family. I'm relied upon by friends, neighbors, and family to petsit or walk their dogs when they're on vacation, sick, or injured. I love watching Cesar Milan's show, Better Human Better Dog, and have been inspired to pursue an animal trainer's certificate. I own and run a small business remotely from home and live with a cat and a dog. I occasionally see clients at my office a mile away for in-person sessions and am gone no longer than 4 to 5 hours when not at home. AT HOME 🏠 I live in a one bedroom apartment with a spacious living room, no yard, no carpet, with hardwood/tile flooring. My lifestyle is clean and minimal. I have an outgoing cat who thinks he's a dog and a sweet and easy going dog. They’re both playful, listen to commands, and get along with other friendly dogs, cats, and people. I strictly follow the owner's instructions and pet care routine given while adding, love, cuddles, and play time as needed. I also have separate room my cat/dog can stay in if the pet I'm sitting needs a little break from other animals or alone time with me. ON WALKS 🐕 When going on walks, I like to keep dogs close enough to avoid dangerous situations yet loose enough for them to explore. Unless the owner restricts it, socializing with other dogs is fine with me so long as the other dog is leashed and willing to socialize too. I grew up with a VERY large 120 pound St. Bernard and am experienced in walking large dogs that may bolt when getting excited, so keeping them calm and re-directing them to follow my lead is a must for their safety and well-being. I like to reward good behavior with love, attention, petting, and treats. Not-so-good behavior is re-directed in a calm and firm manner, but never reprimanded nor rewarded. Regardless of the pet's behavior, patience and understanding is key! MY POLICY ⭐ * NO PEE PADS ALLOWED. I only accept dogs that are fully housebroken and trained to relieve themselves outside. I live in an apartment and cannot afford to have other dogs smell any trace of pee/poo and be tempted to instinctually “over-mark” any “territory”. * A MEET & GREET IS REQUIRED prior to booking daycare and boarding requests. Daycare Hours: 7am-6pm, all other times are considered after-hours. Walking and Drop-In Hours: 7am-8pm, all other times are considered after-hours. Boarding Pick-up/Drop-off hours: 7am-8pm, all other times are considered after-hours. * Pick-up and drop-off times must be scheduled before booking. This helps makes sure all of your pup’s stuff is ready to go when you arrive. * If you are more than 15 minutes late for your scheduled drop-off or pick-up, it will need to be rescheduled and will be charged a $20 late fee (plus additional Rover fees). I generally can accommodate changes in travel plans, so please let me know when plans change. * Anything scheduled during after-hours requires a fee of $40 (plus additional Rover fees). Scheduling during after-hours is not guaranteed. * Please plan your booking accordingly and be on-time to avoid the cost of fees or extended care. If your flight times are during after-hours, consider dropping-off a day before or picking-up the next day. * Please provide the following items when boarding your pet: -Food/bowls -Poop bags -Leash/collar -Bed/blankets/toys/treats (optional) * IN CASE OF ILLNESS OR MEDICAL EMERGENCY, please be prepared to provide payment directly to the care facility if your pet requires medical attention in your absence. If your preferred veterinarian or 24 hour hospital is within 5 miles of my home, then please provide that info, otherwise I will choose the closest most convenient one. If an owner does not respond to my emergency calls or texts in a timely manner or fails to provide payment for medical care, then their pet will be subject to Rover’s emergency protocol under the “Rover Guarantee” policy. Please note that I cannot cover any costs to care for your pet any time for any reason.

I can easy crate your puppy or let them roam freely.

About: A previous Vet Technician who is ready to meet your pup/kitty. My time in the field has provided me with a plethora of experience with pets both big and small! I am knowledgeable about general pet behavior, healthcare, and medications, no pet is too complex! I currently work from home which provides ample time to spend focusing on your pet’s needs! Especially helpful for those pets than need a little extra attention. I strive to provide as safe an environment to the pets I’ve worked with as I can! We go as slow or fast as needed to ensure they feel fully comfortable with whatever may be needed :)

About: I've been pet sitting for over 15 years. Neighbors, friends & family have relied on me to walk, feed & bathe their pets. I adore all animals and would love to care for your fur baby. I work from home with a flexible schedule, which makes it easy to care for your pets when you need me. I am always on time and communicate often. I will follow your instructions on how to care for your baby in your home. I can even send photos and keep you updated throughout the day. (I should mention that I am also a professional pet photographer!)


About: Since about middle school, I've taken care of different friends' and relatives' dogs. Although I love all animals, dogs have a special place in my heart. I've looked after my cousin's energetic golden retriever when the family was on vacation. I've looked after a roommate's lovable and excitable pug. I've walked a variety of breeds and I've even worked as a temporary vet tech assistant, where I really got my hands dirty and learned a lot about different behaviors. I love to hike on the weekends and would enjoy taking your dog on a short hike with me, but I just as much would enjoy cuddling and hanging out with him/her in a patio. What's important to me is that your fur baby has fun, no matter what his/her preferred activity. I'm free most evenings and weekends to look in on your fur baby, walk them, or house sit. There are some weekdays I can even look after your pet during the day. At the moment I can't look after your pet in my own home because I have two cats, but if you have a cat-friendly dog, I most certainly can look after them at my own place. I work from home every other weekday. I live in a very walkable neighborhood.

“I’ve known Amy Rose for over 15 years. She has helped me with my dogs and other animals. She was always on time and all my dogs looked forward to her coming. She has a special way with dogs and treated them as she would her own. She actually helped leash train mine. She a very up beat person always happy to see everyone. Her first concern was always the safety of the dogs. She went above and beyond for my animals. Since I have moved I haven’t been able to find anyone as caring as she was. Since I have retired I now walk them. They trained me as Amy had taught them. I personally feel any family that Amy works for would be very pleased and grateful for her. I know I was and still am. She’ll make a great employee.”

I've entrusted him with Bean's care on multiple occasions, including a critical period following her major dental surgery.

Without hesitation, I would recommend Andy as a reliable and loving pet sitter.”
