About: My family and I have had dogs since I was a kid. I’ve lived with up to 5 dogs at a time. Now, I am the proud momma of two cats, Zoe and Emma. You can describe me as the millennial whose sole purpose is to provide a full and fun life for my fur babies. At this time, I am a full time student and on my off days I hope to care for and go on walks with your fur babies. I plan my responsibilities ahead of time, so my calendar will be updated regularly to give you the most updated availability. I am always aware and present during my time with pets. I will prioritize their safety and well-being. I would love to have meet and greets where you tell me all about your specific concerns and we can talk about how I can help ease those concerns!
About: Hi there! I’m a certified veterinary assistant and veterinary technician with over 4 years of experience in veterinary medicine and approximately 7 years of hands on experience working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. As both a veterinary professional and a dog owner myself, I understand that every dog has unique needs, and I strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m experienced in administering oral, topical, and injectable medications, recognizing early signs of illness or discomfort, and caring for senior pets and dogs with medical needs. Whether your pup is energetic, shy, or needs a little extra patience, I provide calm, attentive care tailored to them. My goal is to treat every dog like family and give you complete peace of mind knowing they’re in experienced, compassionate hands. I work full time at an all feline hospital and also work at a veterinary emergency hospital. I’ve been working full time since I was 18. If you want me to be more specific, I even had my own business in dog training and grooming when I was 16! I care for every pet as if they were my own. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, fresh water, potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and plenty of affection. My goal isn’t just to ‘check in’ on your pet, it’s to provide the same level of attentive, compassionate care I’d want for my own animals.
About: I've been surrounded by animals for 30+ years. My experience runs deep and hands-on. I spent a year working on a farm. Fun fact: I've successfully delivered three litters of puppies — every single one survived and thrived. At home I have two cats and two large senior dogs, all fixed, up to date on their meds, and flea-free. Caring for senior pups every day means I know firsthand how to handle slower walks, medication schedules, achy joints, and the extra patience and gentleness our older companions deserve. What you can count on from me: reliability, genuine love for your animal, and someone who treats your pet like the soul they are. I'll follow your routines to the letter, keep you updated, and make sure your furry family member feels safe and happy while you're away. So whether your pet is a bouncy puppy, a dignified senior, or somewhere in between, I'm calm, confident, and capable in just about any situation. I'd be honored to care for yours. 🐾 Pet care isn't an afterthought for me — it's woven into my daily rhythm. I already care for my own animals every morning and evening, so feeding times, litter scooping, medication schedules, and check-ins are simply part of how my days are built. Adding your pet to that routine feels natural, not like an extra errand. I keep a flexible schedule that lets me be reliably present throughout the day, so I can accommodate everything from quick drop-in visits to longer sessions and consistent walking times. I'm happy to match whatever cadence your pet is used to, whether that's a strict feeding window, mid-day company, or a steady morning-and-evening routine. Most importantly, I show up when I say I will. You'll always know your pet is being cared for on schedule, every time. In my own home, your pet joins a calm, animal-friendly environment with my two cats and two gentle senior dogs — all fixed, vaccinated, on their meds, and flea-free. I keep food, medications, and anything hazardous safely out of reach, maintain clean litter and feeding areas, and can give a nervous or new pet their own quiet space to settle in. If separation is ever needed, I'm comfortable crating or sectioning off rooms so every animal stays safe and stress-free. In your home, I treat your space with the same care I'd want for my own. I follow your instructions exactly — entry, alarm codes, feeding, litter, medication, and lock-up — and I keep doors and gates secured so there's no risk of a pet slipping out. I stay alert to your pet's behavior and comfort, and I'll always reach out right away if anything seems off. Whether at my place or yours, my goal is simple: a safe, clean, loving environment where your pet feels secure and you feel completely at ease. 🐾

“Dominique did a fantastic job. She took care of my 3 cats for day and everything went perfect. Easy to contact, easy drop off and pick. Nice place for the cats to stay. Highly recommend.”

About: Caring for animals is a lifelong passion, rooted in growing up around farm animals and currently sharing my home with my own dogs and cats. Over the past five years, I have dedicated myself to providing reliable, compassionate support for pets of all kinds. From energetic dogs and curious cats to horses and farm animals, I treat every companion as if they were my own. My approach centers on maintaining a consistent, stimulating routine while strictly adhering to dietary needs and safety protocols. Having grown up with farm animals and hands-on experience with both young pets and senior animals, I know how to tailor my care to every stage of life. Whether I am managing high-energy play or ensuring a calm environment, I prioritize your pet's comfort and happiness above all else. I remain calm and responsible during any situation, keeping you informed every step of the way. I truly love witnessing the unique quirks that make your pets special, and I would be honored to provide them with the dedicated care they deserve. I'm currently working part-time at another company, so I have plenty of time to play with your pets or take them for walks in the mornings. My schedule would be from 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m., Monday through Friday. I could come on weekends, but that would be on an as-needed basis and only in the mornings. I take great care of my pets and others as if they were my own. I understand that they have needs just like people do; they are beings that require attention and good nutrition, which is why I like to take them for walks, play with them, let them rest peacefully, and feed them well.
“I'm so thankful for Rover.com and for finding Danielle! She's attentive to Michael's medical needs, which is hugely important. He requires insulin and fluids along with a pill every day. Danielle is responsible, capable and clearly an animal lover. She is respectful of the animals, our home and commitments she makes. She's great!”

“Emma was very friendly, provided great photos and updates, and easy to work with, even when the care instructions were a little complicated. I would recommend booking with her.”

“Debora did a fantastic job watching our cat over the holidays! She visited our cat a few times and gave her attention, cleaned the cat box, and ensured she had food and water. This was our first time using this app, Debora was able to come over before we left to go over instructions at meet our cat before hand. We will be sure to use her again when we leave town for extended periods.”


About: I have been a pet-sitter for nearly a decade. I was working with Peace of Mind Pet Concierge in Long Beach before they moved out of state and sadly closed their business. I have learned from the best and am always ready to care for pups and kitties anytime. I am comfortable with providing medication and giving the best care all animals deserve. I have my own pup and kitties, so I know how important it is to make sure my clients know their babies are good in hands with me. I work part time at the Crooked Duck and District 4 Pizza. So I’m always around in the neighborhood. Maybe you’ve already seen me at the restaurants!! 😄😄 I still pet sit on the side from families I already work with outside of Rover. I have also volunteered at Long Beach Animal Care Services at their Pet Food Express location in Bixby Knolls. I have ample time in my day to help with petsitting in and around my area. I care very much about the safety of pets and abide by all rules for which families have in place to ensure their pets stay safe. Some families have requested cats stay in certain parts of the home, while dogs stay in another. I am aware, respectful, and always follow the instructions of families’ requests.
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover who truly understands pets because I’ve grown up with them and cared for them my entire life. I was raised with a Labrador, so I’m very familiar with high-energy dogs who need structure, exercise, and affection. Throughout my adult years, I’ve had both cats and dogs, giving me hands-on experience with different temperaments, personalities, and care needs. What sets me apart is that I don’t just “watch” pets, I genuinely tune into them. I understand that every animal is unique. Some need playtime and long walks, others need patience, calm energy, and consistency. I’m attentive to routines, feeding schedules, medications if needed, and most importantly, making your pet feel safe and loved while you’re away. I’ve also cared for neighbors’ and friends’ pets over the years, so I understand the trust it takes to leave your furry family member with someone else. I treat every animal as if they’re my own…with reliability, compassion, and lots of affection. Whether your pet loves fetch, belly rubs, play sessions, or quiet companionship, I’m here to provide dependable care and peace of mind. I’d love to meet you and your pet! 🐾 Because I work from home, I have a very flexible schedule and can provide attentive, consistent care throughout the day. I’m available for morning, midday, and evening visits, as well as overnight stays. Your pet won’t be left alone for long periods, and I’m able to accommodate potty breaks, walks, playtime, and feedings based on their usual routine. I’m also available on weekends and can often help with last-minute bookings when needed. My flexible work setup allows me to adjust my schedule to fit your pet’s needs, whether that’s regular daily care or occasional drop-ins. Your pet’s comfort and routine are my priority, and I’m happy to work with you to create a schedule that works best for both of you. 🐾 Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I understand how important it is to feel confident leaving your furry family member in someone else’s care, and I take that responsibility seriously. When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine and environment to help reduce stress and anxiety. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, walk routines, and any special needs. I’m attentive to details like securely locking doors, monitoring surroundings on walks, and ensuring your pet is always in a safe, supervised environment. I respect your home as if it were my own. Keeping things clean, organized, and exactly how you left them. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel reassured and connected while you’re away. My goal is simple: to create a calm, loving, and secure experience for your pet so you can travel with peace of mind knowing they’re in caring and trustworthy hands.
“Aytanna went above and beyond during their visits with Theia. In addition to the duties we discussed during booking, Aytanna also swept up litter and cat hair, sanitized my water fountain, and was super communicative about when they were coming by. I would highly recommend Aytanna to anyone (especially those with sensitive/shy animals) and will definitely be using them in the future.”


“Very kind, obviously loves animals. She took care of our sweetie very well and communicated daily with how she was doing and pictures. Would definitely use Marissa again. Thank you so much 😊”

About: I grew up with pets of all kinds and have enjoyed watching the animals of people I love! Pets are part of our families I’d love to take care of yours :) I currently work part time from home, so I’ll have plenty of time to check in on and play with your pets! I’m available for mid-day walks, coming by while you’re out of town, and house sitting overnight. I’m happy to follow whatever systems you’ve set with your pets and keep their routines as normal as possible to maintain the effort of your time with training!
“I was very worried about leaving my cat as I had never left her with anyone other than family. Jiaqi was amazing and sent pictures and videos almost daily, allowing me to know my girl was in good hands. Jiaqi is very kind and I will be booking with her again very soon!”

“Madison was great with all 4 of our cats. She took care of the water, food, and litter while we were away. Even she did more than we asked for like throwing away the litter in the dumpster, cleaning food bowls, etc. Definitely we would trust her with our cats again”

About: I love animals, I am very meticulous when it comes to pet care and what needs to be done for them to thrive, be safe, and healthy. I am a firm believer that a pet is a vital part of a family and will always treat them as such. If you have any special needs or requests for your pet, no matter how complex or intricate it might be, I will be happy to do so to in order for them to feel comfortable and for you to breathe easy knowing your baby is taken care of with the upmost care in your absence. Pet care fits into my daily routine because I am responsible for my cat Pepe from hygine, feedings, play time, vet visits, and anything else he might need to thrive. I am a substitute teacher and don't always have the opportunity to work. This would be the perfect way to get extra income with my free time that I would absolutely love doing. Whatever needs to be done, will be done in a timely manner and according to schedule. I would take care of any pet as if it was my own, because that's what they deserve. I have always loved animals and would thrive in a role where I could help them, meet their needs, and get some quality time with them.
About: I’ve actually had all kinds of pets my whole life, dogs, cats, fish, bunnies, hamsters, turtles so I can confidently say I’m attentive to each one’s personality, habits, needs. I’ve welcomed many stray dogs and cats into my home to care for them and feed them and rehome them. I’ve potty/litter trained countless times and I can train them for meal times, to sit or give paw(dogs), to not scratch the couch(cats). In the last 4 years in particular, family members have asked me to pop by and check on and feed their babies. One household has two very loving and hyper dogs ages 2 & 3 yrs old that have a specific diet and meal times. They are potty trained outside so I walk them 2-3x a day depending on the hours I watch them. Second household has one 14 yr old dog and a 2 yr old cat, also with their own diets and meal times. The dog uses pee pads as she’s older and potty trained outside as well. Third household has 7 cats that range from 1 yr old to 7 yrs old. They’re all more free spirited and independent as they look after each other, they all eat at the same time and have indoor and outdoor privileges. I currently have full and open availability. I’d love to gain more experience looking after pets. My cat is very independent and clean, as long as I feed him in the morning and evening and keep his litter box clean, he’s a very good boy. It gives me the confidence to be able to help someone else with their fur babies either for work or trips. I can do from simply check-ins or stay in nights at a time with them. Im super flexible. As of right now, unfortunately I don’t have the proper space to bring others pets in ): but I am more than dependable and respectful to care for furbabies in their own home. Anything from simple and winging it to a list of instructions, your furbaby won’t see me as an intruder, but as their company.

“Ashley is a great cat sitter. She completes all tasks around our house effectively and per our directions.
