“Ashlee is a wonderful person and one of the best sitters we ever had. She is caring and considerate, and our Shiba had a great time with her. I absolutely would like to reach out to her again in the future.”

“Jennifer was so great with our two crazy pups. She knows what she’s doing with high energy pups and helped me feel at ease knowing they were in great hands. Would definitely recommend!”
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.
“Jared was GREAT! Kept me updated the whole time. Sent pics. Offered to take him running. Even let me know my dog might have an oncoming upset stomach (which he did) So my BF was prepared and laid out pads over the carpet. Saved me the headache of having to hire a cleaner or order a rug doctor. Will definitely keep Jared on the list of trusted walkers.”
“Bridget has truly been a gem of a rover!! I’ve used rover for years now, and Bridget has not only met but also exceeded my expectations, which is something that’s truly hard to find. She goes above and beyond on little things, as well as has flawless communication, enthusiasm, and a clear love for animals. Thank you so much Bridget!!”
“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!”
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: 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.
“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.”
“Chad has GREAT energy, he is kind, respectful and prompt! Our dog immediately connected to Chad and he made her feel comfortable and seen. We feel like we are in the very best of care with Chad!”
“Kiara did an excellent job keeping me updated throughout the whole walk with Ford! I received many pictures as well as very detailed notes on Ford’s status, behavior, & over all well being during the walk! She took very good care of my boy & will definitely be trusting her with him for future walks/dog care.”
“This was our first time using Rover and were not sure what to expect. We found Elizabeth, she had great pricing and was close to our location. We reached out and set up an appointment for a 30 min walk. It went great, Elizabeth is a true pet lover. She treated our doggy with so much kindness and affection, he was so excited to see her. I would definitely recommend her, she rocks !”
“It's a wonderful experience having Sonomi taking care of our dog Sky. She is awesome and Sky loves her. She is punctual, caring, kind and happy person. We would highly recommend her to our family & friends for pet care. Thanks so much Sonomi.”
“My pups loved Brie from the moment she met them! I can tell they had a great time and are looking for her whenever they hear someone at the door. She gave the sweetest updates on how the girls were doing and I know they already can’t wait to see her again!”
“We booked with Julie super last minute (like 4 days before) because of the respiratory illness going around and we’re very grateful for her. We have a new rescue and super anxious dog, but they did great with her. She was even able to add a mid-day walk. We will be booking with Julie again for future vacations!”
“Rachel is wonderful - we highly recommend! We booked walking services by Rachel and will continue to, as she has a great demeanor; calm and relaxed yet assertive and warm. She’s knowledgeable and sends great, detailed updates and uses the Rover card each time. We’ll definitely be booking her services again!”
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.

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!
Kiara did an excellent job keeping me updated throughout the whole walk with Ford! I received many pictures as well as very detailed notes on Ford’s status, behavior, & over all well being during the walk! She took very good care of my boy & will definitely be trusting her with him for future walks/dog care.
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!!
Thank you Lauren for always taking good care of our puppy! We always felt bad leaving him when we have a night out but since using Lauren to check in on him, it’s been great knowing he’s in good hands! She is very reliable, trustworthy and great with dogs- she has one of her own too- our puppy warmed right up to her. Highly recommended her
