“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 amazing — communicative and provided cute pictures and videos of my cat, Kipo. She even cleaned up an accident (Kipo tends to pee too close to the edge of the litter box) without question. I really appreciated that she checked-in with me, requesting to change the drop-in time. I highly recommend Sarah and would trust her to take care of Kipo in the future.”
About: I've been taking care of dogs and cats since I was a kid and I'm still taking care of my German Shepard/ border collie mix now. I'm currently working as a nanny part time, so I have plenty of time to take on new clients. When I’m not working I’m a stay at home mom to an almost 1 year old, 10 year old dog, and a 5 year old cat. I live in a studio apartment (so I am unable to board anyone else’s pet) so for Abbey we take lots of walks and play outside daily. We stick to a consistent daily schedule. When it comes to your home and your pet I will make sure to respect your space and treat your pet like family.
About: As a mom of four and an empty nester, caring for others comes naturally to me. I’ve had dogs my whole life and am completely comfortable with pets of all sizes and personalities. I currently spend my time caring for seniors, so patience and attentiveness are second nature. I speak both English and Spanish and treat every dog as if they were part of my own family. I spend Monday through Wednesday at a senior home but have a flexible schedule and reliable transportation. I’m available for pet care the rest of the week (and Monday-Wednesday, as needed) and can adjust as needed for your pet's routine. I live in a clean, pet-friendly apartment and am very comfortable caring for dogs in smaller spaces. I make sure pets get plenty of walks, attention, and love.
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats since i was 10. I can also train puppies under 2 years old. I can take care of old dogs and cats too. For those older i can train too but will take longer I work as a freelance digital artist. Usually at night. So my day time usually free. I have a friendly beagle that is very lovely I can spend most of my day with them. I love trekking and know a lot of pet allowed park too. They will be taken care both health and mental

“Andrea was amazing with our two kitties! So communicative, always sent us photo and video updates, and the cats loved her. I would love to have her back to watch them again.”
About: I’ve spent 8 years as a devoted cat mom and have hands-on experience walking my brother’s friendly, medium-sized dog. I treat every pet with patience, care, and love as if they were my own. Whether it’s a walk or a drop-in visit, I’ll make sure your furry family member feels safe, happy, and cared for, with photo updates so you can feel at ease too. As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets the time and attention they deserve. Whether it’s a walk or a drop-in visit, your furry friend will never feel rushed or overlooked. I treat every pet and home as if they were my own. I take time to make sure pets feel calm and cared for, whether that means giving extra belly rubs, cleaning up after them, or keeping their space tidy. Safety always comes first, and I never rush visits or walks. I want pets to feel loved and owners to feel completely at ease.
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.
About: I treat every animal in my care like they’re part of my own family, because that’s exactly how I’d want someone to treat mine. I focus on creating a clam safe and loving environment. Pet care is a meaningful part of my daily life. I live on a mini farm property with plenty of space for playtime. I structure my days around the needs of the pets I’m caring for. Whether pets are staying in my home or I’m caring for them in theirs, my priority is to make them feel safe, comfortable and loved. If your pet has specific needs, like crate training, medication, or anxiety care, I’m experienced and happy to accommodate.
“Alice is the best. She took great care of my dog and made sure I was stress free during my time away from my dog, I knew she was in good hands and well taken care of. Highly recommend.”
“Lizbeth was wonderful with my two kitties. I have a shy one and an outgoing one, and she worked on making both comfortable with treats, toys, and by talking to them. She was also very communicative each day via Rover cards and the chat function. By the end of her visits, even my scared kitty felt safe enough to be out and about the house. I'll definitely be working with her again.”
About: Dog & cat lover serving the greater OC & LA area! I grew up in a household full of animals and decades later, that has not changed. I’m the person who socializes with dogs and their owners while on walks with my 5-year-old Cocker Spaniel, Lady. Aside from caring for her and our 18 month old Russian blue cat Cosmo, I have had experience pet sitting for my family, friends, and neighbors. I work from a home office, which provides the schedule flexibility to walk and care for your dog(s) during the day. In fact, I can accommodate 3-4 walks/play sessions per day. I can definitely take care of your kitty as well as administer meds for your 4 legged friend. Need more than just walks? No problem! I provide day/overnight care services as well… Offering your pet a fun, active, comfortable and (most importantly) safe place to be when you are working or out of town is one of the best perks of my work from home schedule. I have experience caring for all age dogs/cats including senior and special needs pets. My last cat was a vision impaired senior with a thyroid condition so I administered meds to him in his last years as needed. Whether or not your fur baby requires any special care or attention, I’m the Rover for you. My goal is to be present and engaged with your pet, so that they (and you) know that their time away from home is only 2nd best to being with you! Please let me know: If your pet has any special needs or behaviors that I should be aware of If your dog gets along with other dogs/cates Any special care information, including the need for medication, etc. I'm am in a work from home office schedule and am available daily as needed. I have great flexibility and can support your body schedule or your vacation time easily. I have a safe fenced in home on a quiet street. I live close to a nature park for good safe walks, and lots of play.
About: I’ve cared for dogs and pets of all kinds for over 15 years. From walking, feeding, and bathing to helping with senior care and even the more energetic pups, I make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and happy. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to treat their pets like my own, because to me, pets are family 🥹♥️🐾 I run my own small business, Land & Sea Adventures, where I teach outdoor science programs in the mornings. Because of that, I’m available every day after 1:30/2:00pm for dog walks, drop-ins, and even overnight boarding. My morning programs are short (8:30/9am–11:30/12:30pm), so I’m back quickly to feed, walk, and spend quality time with your pets. This allows me to keep a very consistent routine while giving your fur babies plenty of love, attention, and care. I treat every fur baby like family while keeping their routine consistent. My fenced yard is safe and supervised, and I use a natural spray to keep bugs away. Whether it’s walks, feeding, or cuddle time, your pet will always feel loved. And if they aren’t allowed on beds at home, the same rules apply here too, your house rules are my house rules. 🐾💛

Santa Anita pet parents share their Rover experiences
Maya was such an amazing sitter for our cat. She went above and beyond, not only taking care of his food, water, and litter, but also playing with him for extended periods of time. She provided frequent updates and took so many wonderful photos and videos that she shared with us so that we could feel totally at ease. We would highly recommend Maya and would book her again in a heartbeat!
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!
Cindy showed lots of love & attention to hazel during her drop in visit! She made sure all of my dog’s needs were met & provided great company for her especially during her fetch sessions. Plenty of photo updates was provided, will book again in the future.
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.
