Thank you Cynthia!!!”
About: I was a cat mom for 16 yrs, but sadly my beloved cat, Mittens passed away in May 2025. I miss him dearly! And I deeply miss having a fur baby in my life! But since I’m not ready to get a new pet yet, I want to give my love, attention and experience into taking care of other people’s pets! I am extremely experienced with taking care of cats and I have taken care of family and friend’s dogs before, and now a few times professionally on Rover. Even though I have owned a cat for many years, I initially grew up as a child being a dog lover! And I have always had a special love for dogs too. I work from home so I am always at home, so it makes it easy to take care of pets and give them all the attention and potty breaks that they need. I am available for boarding or dog daycare at anytime, so please feel free to contact me whenever you would like. I live in an apartment and don’t have a backyard or personal balcony, but I live in a very safe residential neighborhood so walking dogs outside would be fine. There are parks nearby also, so I always make sure to not keep the dog cooped up indoors too long! I have used Rover App before to have my own late cat boarded with someone, so I fully understand the comfort and the need for owners to have pet sitters send photos, videos and daily updates to them of their pet, so I am more than happy to do that! I have not been professionally boarding pets for long, so I have just started building my portfolio.
“It was my first time using the app, and Holly did a wonderful job caring for my sweet little boy, Leo. I really appreciated that she sent me photos of him throughout the visit—it gave me such peace of mind. She’s incredibly friendly, kind, and attentive. I highly recommend her 😃”
About: I'm an animal lover who was the patron saint of stray/abandoned pups and kittens when I was growing up much to the bane of my parents existence. I'm very experienced with puppies and kittens, and am able to keep up with their feeding and potty schedules. I can't imagine life without pets, and love being around them. I like being outside, so it's extra perks if your pup likes to go on long walks, or likes to hike, but I'm also perfectly fine snuggling up on the couch with them as well! *** PLEASE READ REGARDING DAYCARE *** My rate is for a standard 8 hours. If your booking exceeds 8 hours, an additional $5 per hour will be added to your booking. I work from home so I have the flexibility to home all day with your pet if they’re staying with me - perfect for frequent potty breaks and walks. I have a dog of my own who is crate trained so in the rare occasion that I need to step out while watching your pet to run an errand, he will always be secured and cat kept in a separate, closed off area of the home so that your dog will not be unsupervised around another animal.
About: 3 years as kennel assistant, 10+ personal. Experienced with dogs, guinea pigs, seniors, meds, and grooming. Calm, gentle, and reliable —your pets are family here. I work part-time and run a small pet care business, so I have flexible availability for drop-ins and walks—especially on weekdays after 2PM and weekends. Most of my time is spent caring for animals, including my own dogs and guinea pigs. Pet care isn’t just a side job—it’s my calling. Your pets will get patient, loving attention every time I prioritize calm, safe environments for every pet I care for. In client homes, I follow all routines, feeding, and medication instructions with care and precision. I’m experienced with shy pets, seniors, and animals needing extra patience. You’ll receive regular photo updates and detailed check-ins. My goal is to make sure your pets feel secure, happy, and loved while you’re away.
“My puppy Goose always has such a fun time with Jennifer and her daughter! He always gets so excited whenever we drop him off and he is happy as a clam when we pick him up. We would recommend her to any pet parent!”
“My baby jumps out of the car and runs to Kristine’s door with all her wiggles 🥰 I’m always grateful and happy to leave her in a warm family environment.”
“Lisa is, simply put, AMAZING. The level of care and consideration she shows towards both me and my dog (and I think to all of the pups under her care) is not only exceptional but also rare to find. I appreciate that she watches my pup closely and responds to her needs to make her feel comfortable while she's in Lisa's care. She's been so accommodating to both my dog and myself, and she's been so forthcoming in her updates and when I ask her about how my dog's day went... I know I want to turn to Lisa and her family when I need a doggy caregiver. Thanks Lisa for your professionalism and the love you've shown Jam! See you soon!”
About: Trust your beloved pets to a mature, responsible adult. I enjoy a loyal following or repeat clientele because my clients understand that I can be trusted both with their beloved pets and with their homes. I am a successful business owner and I work out of my home, in close proximity to downtown Glendale, CA. Please Note: We can only accept one dog per visit. Each visiting dog should arrive with a bed, blanket, toys or anything else you think necessary for them to enjoy a sense of stability and security. Each day, we'll send updates, pictures and videos to assure you that all is well with your pet. Being away from a home can be a stressful situation for any pet, and we do our best to keep your pet calm and comfortable during their stay.

About: Welcome! We are a husband (Miles) + wife (Alex) duo and we have taken care of puppies, senior dogs, big breeds, small breeds, cats, turtles, bunnies, guinea pigs and fish for 10 years of our lives. We have a 6 year old golden retriever who we rescued 5 years ago. We love spending time with animals at home and also love walking / hiking with more active dogs. We grew up with labs and golden retrievers in our childhood homes and having animals around is the best. We have a fenced in yard at our home for fun safe play for the doggos! We are free during the week in the mornings or evenings and occasionally during the afternoons. We are always free on weekends and are open to house sitting, walking, drop ins or even hikes/ runs! We treat each animal how we would treat our own! we are caring, loving, trustworthy and nurturing. We know each family has their own rules when it comes to house sitting or dog walking and we are happy to follow each families rules. We know leaving animals in someone else’s care can be nerve- racking, but we can assure you your animal/ animals are safe with us!
“Emin was very communicative and such a great dog sitter. Looking forward to book with him again!”
About: I'm an active foster volunteer at both Pasadena Humane and the Irvine Animal Shelter, with hands-on experience fostering and caring for animals of all kinds. I also have two Ragdolls back in my home county and love spending time with my friends' adorable dogs and cats. I genuinely enjoy being around animals and treat every pet with kindness, patience, and care-like they're my own! As an active volunteer at Pasadena Humane and the Irvine Animal Shelter, I regularly spend time caring for animals-feeding, walking, playing, and providing comfort. I also love visiting friends with pets and spending time with their cats and dogs. Since I'm a student with a flexible schedule, I'm able to plan my week around pet care and make sure each animal gets the time and attention they need. I prioritize safety, comfort, and consistency. I follow each pet's routine, keep the environment calm and secure, and build trust through gentle, attentive care. I'm also happy to share regular updates to keep you informed and at ease.
About: What’s the most important thing all dog owners want to know before entrusting their dogs to a stranger? Well first of all I’m from Jersey. I’ll play with your dog, make sure they’re happy, take them on a walk, not lose them, and feed them only what you tell me to feed them. No human food, I promise. Unless of course that’s in your list of food to give them. Of course hydrate them as well. I know the do’s and don’ts of a dog’s diet since I have 2 of my own. I’ve also been fostering dogs on and off for the past 3 years. I am known to be reliable and responsible, so I can assure you that you can rest easy with leaving your dog(s) in my care. Or if you have a cat, I also get along super well with them since I also have 2 of my own! I work from home so I do have some flexibility or if you need eyes on your little one for long hours I will also be able to do that. I do have 2 cats so I have pet gates up to separate my cats from any dogs. The dogs get free roaming of the living room which tends to be enough for my two dogs plus any friends they’ve had over. Routine in my home is key. At your home, I’ll stick to your routine and respect your house rules. Whatever you require, it will be respected.
About: I have over 15 years of experience caring for various animals of all ages and personalities. I’ve raised three dogs and two cats myself, and I treat every pet like family. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding or just companionship, I’m attentive, patient and always focused on their comfort and safety. I’d love to give your pet the same love and care I give my own! I mostly work from home, so pet care fits easily into my routine. I love going on walks and getting some sun and fresh air. In my home, pets are treated like family. I create a calm, clean, and pet safe environment with plenty of love, supervision, and comfortable spaces to rest or play. I follow your instructions closely and prioritize each pet’s unique needs, ensuring they feel safe, secure and at ease while you’re away.

Viky M.
“As Viky's neighbor, I’ve seen how attentive and kind she is with animals. She walks her dogs regularly, always keeps them well-behaved and happy, and has even offered to help walk mine when I had an injury. She's the kind of person who remembers little things, like your pet’s favorite toy or how they like to be greeted. It’s clear that animals trust her—and so do we. She’s a reliable, compassionate part of the community, and any pet parent would be lucky to have her care for their furry family.”

San Rafael Hills dog parents share their Rover experiences
Holly is amazing, she watches the pets attentively and is communicative about any odd behavior. My dogs are always so happy when they are about to meet her. I feel at ease leaving my dogs with her.
Charlie had another great and mentally stimulating day with Sevan. He comes home relaxed and comfortable and best of all for me, tired!
Thanks Chrystle for taking care of Charlie when we were in the Glendale area! It was our first time using Rover and leaving Charlie with someone else, but Chrystle made the process so easy. She was responsive and communicated well. Scheduling, drop off, and pickup were flawless. She’s a natural and Charlie was immediately at ease with her. Our interaction was brief but it was clear that she was attentive and caring. Charlie was well taken care of and had a good couple of walks and clearly had a comfortable time from the photos and with how happy he was during pickup.
Eunhee is so great!! She took great care of my puppy for the day. I appreciate that she sends photos and videos throughout the day. You can tell she adores pets and loves caring for them. Thank you so much! 🩷
Margarita was great! Very reassuring, responsive, and sent updates! She was sweet and patient with my dog Potato who has separation anxiety. She fed him dinner and took him for a little walk when needed. Would book again! Thanks!
Amalia was amazing with my dog! He was very comfortable around her upon their first meeting and I could tell she worked with many dogs in the past. Amalia sent updates and photos during my time away from my pet which was greatly appreciated. I will be rebooking with her in the future! If you’re looking for a sitter, book her!
Tim & Elena took great care of our pups! They followed all our instructions to a tee and the dogs seemed very happy when we picked them up. Thank you!
I am very happy and grateful to both of them. It was Kali's (my dog) and my first time at daycare, and I am so grateful it was with them.
Pengfei and Sijie were wonderful and sent lots of photos and videos of my pup. She looked so happy and content in all of them!
Kia is amazing- his attention to detail, knowkedge AND love of dogs, willing to ask clarifying questions and time spent during the meet and greet to learn about my six month pup was par none! I have been so worried about care for her in the one-off times when I need to travel or go to the office. Today we had her with Kia for a half day day care, which was following a M&G yesterday, and she was instantly relaxed! Kia provided real time updates and I will be continuing to have Kia build rapport with my girl and provide care when needed. I am breathing more easily now - Thank you Kia!
I can’t believe how calm my dogs are with Ali and how quickly they bonded with her. She is on time, professional and great at communicating. She will be my go to sitter for my dogs💕
Alex and Brianna are great people and were so flexible with my last minute plans. Their dog is a sweetheart and they were very caring and understanding with my neurotic and needy dog! I would highly recommend them for your dog sitting needs.
Kobe had fun w his new furry friends. The big backyard is perfect for running around and getting their energy out. Tamara was flexible working w our schedule which really helps. Thx ☺️
It was my first time ever leaving my dog with someone besides a family member so i was a little nervous but from the moment i saw Ani she was so genuine and she approached dobby with so much love i felt at ease right away . When i picked up dobby later on he seemed very happy and i could tell he enjoyed his time with Ani.
