“This was my first time having Alejandra dog/house sit and she truly met my expectations. She was great with my Roxy! She communicated very well with me and often enough to where I didn’t feel worried or stressed during my short trip. She handled things well around my home, following instructions, and gave Roxy attention which was the most important part for me. I could send from the pictures she sent that my dog was in good hands and comfortable in her care. I highly recommend Alejandra! I certainly know I will be asking to dog sit again!”

“Melissa stayed at my house with my two dogs. She took them for walks, played with them and made them feel loved. She is an excellent sitter and I will definitely use her again.”
“What can I say about Katy, she is the best pet/house sitter we could ever ask for. She went above and beyond to make sure our dog was comfortable with her before our long trip and it was clear they were going to be fine and my dog does not trust all humans! Katy followed all my instructions and took such great care of our house. Most importantly to us, Katy took great care of our Petey and I know he felt safe and had a great time.”

“Chelsea stayed a week with my 4 big dogs...again! She sent me lots of pictures during the week and the house was in good shape when we returned. All my dogs love her. Our flights were delayed but we made it back with in 30 minutes of our original confirmed time. She didn't mind staying with my pups until we made it home. I'd recommend her to sit with any animal large or small! She's awesome!”

“Deirdra was super timely and took such great care of 2 four-month only puppies! She sent numerous photos to update us on the night, and we would definitely book her again in the future!”


About: Hi! My name is Megan, and I'm a college student home for the summer with a flexible schedule thanks to my online classes. I'm a huge animal lover—especially cats—which is why you'll notice a lot of my photos are with cats! I've been caring for my mom's boss's cats for the past 2 years, helped care for and walk my close friend’s two dogs, and am currently walking the lovely Golden Lab on my profile every day in my hometown in the Bay Area. I’m moving to the Los Angeles area on the 29th and will be able for all services in LA after! I know every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you're away. I may be younger than some sitters, but I'm dependable, patient, and genuinely excited to gain more experience doing something I love. Pet sitting is also helping me fund my college education, so I truly appreciate every pet parent, their booking, and the trust that comes with it. I'll follow your instructions carefully, keep your pet’s routine consistent, and send plenty of photo and video updates so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I’m a very active person in my daily life, so I will have no issues with walking, carrying, or other high energy activities I may need to do with your pet! I'd love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family members, thanks for considering me! Once the semester starts and I move back to LA on the 29th, my class schedule will be very flexible, with Tuesdays and Fridays off completely. Monday, Wednesday, and Friday I have classes in the morning. My busier day, Monday, only consists of about 4 hours of class from 9-1:30 so, even at my busiest I am available for afternoon and evening services! I always do my best to maintain every pet’s daily routine to make them feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away.. Whether I'm caring for your pet in your home for an extended period of time or stopping by for quick visits, I’ll follow your instructions carefully regarding feeding, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and anything else you need. I believe every pet deserves patience, attention, and plenty of love, and I'll make sure they are well cared for. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you are aware of what your pet is up to, and to give you a little peace of mind while you’re away from them!
“Aolani cared for our two dogs confined to a hotel room while we attended our son’s wedding. She was competent, cheerful, totally reassuring that everything was fine. We recommend her in superlatives!”

“Elizabeth was amazing. Our little buddy and our home were both in great shape upon our return. She was super flexible and also helped us look out for a package that arrived unexpectedly early. We would def book her again in the future!”

“Casandra stayed at our place for 9 days. I really appreciated the regular updates of our pup and her attention to detail. She is responsible, respectful and if my dog could talk I know she would rave about her time with a sitter.”

“Christian went out of his way to meet us in person before we booked with him. He has always showed up on time and is great with our dogs. we’ve always had a positive experience and trust him with our dogs and our home.”

About: I'm a current cat parent to three kitties, one of whom is deaf. I've performed cat sitting services for several friends and have also cared for foster cats with medical needs. I was the primary care taker for my family yorkie since he was a puppy, walking him, feeding him, and playing with him daily. He's very territorial and anxious, so going on walks required a lot of patience and conditioning on my part to reassure him that we were both safe and train him to be kinder to other dogs. I'm both a dog and cat person so whoever your furry friend is, I'm here to help give them all the love possible! I am a full time graduate student with a flexible schedule outside of classes!! I love to hang out with my cats during my free time, but having a bud to accompany me on walks outside during my breaks, or taking the time to go visit them, is the missing piece in my routine :) I make sure they are fed on schedule, have been played with for enough time, and have gotten their exercise in. Supervision is also key, especially when interacting with other pets. Whether your pet is treat-oriented or loves toys and cuddles, I will make sure to speak their love language.
“Liana was so patient with my grumpy special needs bulldog. My dog is super sweet with people but becomes shy and disgruntled when I’m gone which Liana got to experience. Instead of shying away, Liana gave my Eisley space to adjust and worked around his comfort which was a huge relief to me. Additionally with his incontinence, Liana was still able to meet his needs with diaper changes despite his attitude. I can’t thank or applaud her enough efforts enough to help me come home from a work trip unstressed about the safety of my pets. I highly recommend her!”

“Jennifer was awesome! She was communicative, clean, and so good to our dog. We appreciated all of the pictures and videos as well as how clean she left our apartment after staying here. 1000% recommend and will be using her again.”

“Erica was very conscientious with our needy German Shepherd and our temperamental kitty. They both seemed happy, healthy and well groomed when we got home. She took pictures throughout our time away to update us on their status and she followed our specifications and feeding and other directions to a tee. She is pleasant, cooperative, and professional. I highly recommend her. Both of our animals seem to love her, based on the pictures the description of their behavior, and also their initial meeting with her. She also went above and beyond in ensuring that our house was orderly when we returned. We are very pleased and happy with her services. She is super!”

“Had an awesome experience using Rover for the first time. Lili was super respectful, communicated quickly, and took great care of my dog and home while I was gone. Came home to a happy pup. Would definitely book again!”


“Natalie was great with my two dogs! She was very communicative and would check in frequently with updates and pictures. My dogs warmed up to her quickly and seems like they had a great weekend with her! I’ll definitely be asking Natalie back to watch my dogs whenever I’m out of town, would recommend her to any dog parent looking for a sitter!”

“Alexandra was really terrific with both of my dogs. She clearly cares about your pets and went above and beyond. I look forward to working with her again!”

Todd is an amazing pet sitter. He takes such good care of our mini-labradoodle and we have booked him several times. He goes above and beyond as a pet sitter - he even came back to the house after his sitting was completed because I had received a message from a neighbor about our dog barking and we were worried about getting a noise complaint. Look no further for an amazing pet sitter.

Genki is fantastic! He watched my two dogs while I went out of town and when I came back I was extremely impressed. My pups were happy and he left my place very clean! I never once worried because Genki would send photos and keep me updated on how my babies were doing. I hope to be a repeat client of his!

Margaret is a true ANGEL sent from heaven above. I was so nervous about leaving my new puppy for the first time but once I met her at our meet and greet I knew he was in the best hands and my nerves were gone. She also handled an unforeseen power outage at my apartment like an absolute champ while keeping my boy happy and healthy. I also came home to an apartment cleaner than I left it! I’m so happy to have found her, I know my boy will always be in good hands when he’s with her! Thank you SO much Margaret, ralphie misses you already ;)

We so appreciate Tierney watching Stanley while we were away for a week! She kept him active in the heat with walks earlier in the day, stayed in touch with us, and adapted to his schedule. Our flights home got majorly messed up and we are so grateful that she was able to be flexible to make sure he got walks he needed while we made our way back. Thank you!!

Val was so caring, thoughtful, and resourceful with my anxious dog, Lucy. I really appreciated how communicative Val was, and how much time and energy she put into figuring out ways to put Lucy at ease. I would be eager to hire Val again and highly recommend her!
Nika was unbelievably great. She took such good care of Charlotte and sent me tons of great photos throughout my trip. She is professional and a phenomenal communicator and never for a second did I not feel like Charlotte and my home weren’t extremely well taken care of. I came home to a sparkling clean apartment and it would appear that Charlotte had the best week of her life. I’ll definitely be using Nika again.

Kay was incredible with the dogs. They both LOVED her. She was communicative and attentive to their needs. She was able to administer medication to one of my dogs and care for him while he’s injured, and she’s did a great job with my more dog-reactive pup. She was also respectful of our home. We (and the dogs) can’t wait to have her look after them again!
