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.

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.

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 !

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!

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.
