“Tala is exactly what you want to find on Rover! Responsible, respectful and communicative. Took wonderful care of my cat, my home and my peace of mind while I was away! Extremely thorough with twice daily drop in updates, including adorable pictures, but most importantly confirming that she was flawlessly executing the instructions I had left. I will rebook with her every time, and genuinely believe my cat is looking forward to me leaving so he can spend more time with his new bestie! 😻🙏🏻🤩”


“Sarah was our first time drop in sitter for our pup using Rover and what a great experience! She is a caring, thoughtful and reliable caregiver. Our dog had experienced a traumatic boarding experience, but in Sarah's care he remained happy and healthy. We loved her personal feedback and photos following each visit. Thank you so much Sarah for being such a great dog sitter!”


“Andrea was absolutely wonderful with my cat Bella and my fish Bumble. Bella is usually pretty outgoing, and Andrea did an amazing job keeping her entertained and happy. I loved getting the updates and pictures—Bella looked so comfortable and content, and Bumble was well cared for too. Coming home to such happy pets and a tidy space was a great feeling. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and highly recommend Andrea to anyone looking for someone who truly cares!”


“Carissa is super sweet and took such great care of my pups! She was incredibly communicative and sent wonderful updates so I was never worried while I was away. Thank you Carissa!”

About: Get $20 off if it's your first booking on Rover using code: ANNALC08836 I previously gained valuable experience assisting my father with his pet sitting business, which has earned more than 50 positive reviews. Now, as I transition to a new home, I’m excited to build on that foundation by starting my own pet sitting business. This is my dad's profile https://www.rover.com/sit/thangc54973. What sets me apart as a sitter is my attention to each pet's individual needs, ensuring a customized care experience. Whether it's providing focused training for energetic puppies, helping them learn essential commands, or offering specialized senior care with gentle handling and close monitoring of any medical requirements, I ensure pets are comfortable and well-taken care of. My strong understanding of animal behavior allows me to recognize and respond to unique needs, ensuring that every pet receives the right mix of affection, stimulation, and calm. My commitment to safety, reliability, and consistent communication ensures that both pets and owners feel at ease. I'm available full time which I can provide extra attention to your pet with longer walks, outings, grooming, or vet visits, and keep a consistent routine with morning walks, feeding, and evening playtime. This balance ensures daily care while making the most of your free days for bonding and special activities. When caring for pets at home or in a client's home, it’s essential to follow feeding schedules, provide exercise, and maintain cleanliness. At home, ensure a pet-safe environment with designated areas for eating, sleeping, and playing, while keeping routines consistent to minimize stress. For in-home services, be mindful of the pet’s comfort and safety, ensuring access to emergency contacts or a vet if needed.

About: I love dogs and have had two dogs growing up, a toy poodle mix and a husky and have looked after my friend's and neighbor's pet while they were busy. I am currently in the process of applying to nursing school and have a lot of flexibility in my schedule to play and help you take care of your dogs while you're busy with work or school. I have volunteered in the animal shelter for two years and have walked many different breeds of dogs with varying energy level. I have also fostered two dogs from the shelter and was able to help find them their forever home. At the end of the day, I just want to make sure that all dogs get the love, attention, and exercise that they need and deserve so I would be honored to be entrusted with the care of your fur babies. I will also be more than happy to send you frequent pictures, videos, and updates of your dogs while they are under my care because I know how important it is to know that they are loved and well cared for while being away from you. I am currently in the process of taking online classes for nursing schools and applying to nursing programs so I will have a flexible schedule. I am available in the mornings and afternoons every day of the week. I absolutely love dogs and the safety and comfort of your dog is my top priority. Under my care while outside, they will always be leashed and if you let me know of any issues that your dogs have, I will do my best to work with it and avoid any potential issues that may arise.

About: My skills are only taking the dogs a bath and taking them on walks, and I play with them as well I give all my attention to them. I start my morning early and that’s when I start my walking, then I come back and have my breakfast, so I will have plenty of time to care for a dog. The care I would give is just giving them attention and making sure their area is always cleaned. Taking them on walks and walking them.

“Marian came over to feed and play with our cat while we were on vacation and she was absolutely amazing. Gave me so much peace of mind knowing she was there, she took great care of our sweet girl. Our crazy cat knocked over and broke a glass dish at one point and Marian was so reassuring and cleaned everything up and checked our cat’s paws. It was an absolutely wonderful experience and I would highly recommend her!”

About: I’ve taken care of animals for about 5 years and my love for them has not changed whatsoever. I’m always excited to meet new friends especially when they feel the same way I always care for my cat everyday and sometimes my cousin’s dog if I go to her apartment next door. Taking care of pets is important for me because they are always there for you when you need them most I have a fence in my house to keep any pet from danger and if an animal is not friendly with others my cat has his own room.

About: I have taken care of my pups for 6 years and ensure that I know their allergies. I play with them and stimulate their minds so they can not be so hyperactive. I’m currently working as a children’s tutor part time and I love caring for dogs and cats! I’ll give them more attention than they need. I ensure my pets have food and water and watch out what they can pick up from the ground that can be dangerous for their health. I’ve given my pups medicine through treats easily too.

Liana L.
“Liana is a caring, compassionate, and detail oriented caregiver for pets. She's watched over my cat several times when I've been out of state/country and every time I've felt relaxed knowing she was taking good care of him. She always sends a good mix of pictures and videos on how hes doing, and easily completed feeding/litter tasks. But most importantly: she spent time with him so he wasn't lonely and made sure he was as relaxed and less stressed as possible. I'd recommend her every time to pet sit.”

Santa Anita pet parents share their Rover experiences
Elizabeth was a tremendous help taking care of our dogs while we were away on holiday. She sent us daily pictures and updates. It gave us ease of mind that our doggies were well taken care of. She is super nice and very gentle with our dogs. We highly recommend her and she will be the first one to call if we need a dog sitter!

5 Stars – The Best Pet Sitter We’ve Had! We couldn’t be happier with our experience! Marisol was absolutely amazing with both our cat Gin and dog Makii during her house drop-in visits. From the moment she met them, it was clear she had a genuine love for animals, our usually shy cat even came right up to her, which never happens! She was super attentive, gave both pets plenty of love and playtime, and kept everything incredibly clean and tidy. We came home to happy pets and a spotless home, which made the whole experience completely stress-free. If you’re looking for someone reliable, thoughtful, and truly great with animals, Marisol is the one. We’ll definitely be booking her again!

I highly recommend Juan! He arrived on time, took 15 mins to get to know us and our needs, and was super caring with our dog, Tobi. If you are looking for someone who is calm, caring, patient, and great at communicating, I would highly suggest contacting Juan.
