“Emma just finished watching our cat while we were traveling. She followed care instructions carefully, was punctual, sent us photos, and kept the feeding station and litter areas tidy. Great job, I’d hire her again for sure.”

“Mackenzie is very organized and always came by at the time we agreed on, and my cats trusted her immediately. She sent clear photos and detailed accounts of her drop-in visits, and always responded promptly when I messaged her with questions or additional information. I’ll definitely be keeping her in my contacts for future pet-sitting needs.”
“Between being available for a last minute booking to having incredible patience and flexibility with so many logistical issues the day of, Kaitlin was a total lifesaver. She was wonderfully communicative and willing to navigate troubleshooting apartment access problems not only with me, but also my neighbor AND my landlord. She met my dog with warmth and enthusiasm and followed instructions to a T. With juggling so many things that day, it gave me so much peace of mind to have such a proactive partner and thoughtful caretaker for my sweet little pup. Highly recommend!!!”

“Gina took great care of our babies and sent the most amazing pictures every night! She was very helpful and proactive, and spent a great deal of quality time playing with them during each visit. Would definitely love to book Gina to care for them again in the future! Thanks, Gina!”

“Sara is the best!! Harlow had trouble adjusting to a new face at first since we’re new here, but she VERY much went out of her way for him to make sure he was comfortable and felt safe. She gave updates and checked in with me to make sure he was settling in alright which I really appreciate. Thanks so much :)”

“Iana was great with my cat and very communicative. She provided photos for every visit and followed instructions regarding my pet. Would book her again in the future!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats and almost any other animal that you can think of since I was 9 years old. My family and I have always prioritized pets and animals because they bring so much joy into everyday life, as well as I still a sense of care and responsibility for others from a young age. I’m currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to walk, drop in, or dog sit for an entire weekend if needed. I am also happy to look after more than one animal at a time. I care for all of my pets by treating them like they are part of my own family. I will ensure their safety if we are out on a walk, and prioritize their needs if I am taking care of them for a few days.
About: I have over 15 years of experience caring for dogs for multiple families. My experience includes both drop-in visits and overnight house sitting, allowing pets to remain comfortable in their own homes and routines. I have cared for dogs of various breeds, sizes, and personalities, providing feeding, walks, playtime, medication when needed, and plenty of attention and companionship. I work full-time, so I only accept pet care bookings on my days off or after I’m done with work for the day. This helps me ensure that every pet gets the time, attention, and care they deserve. I keep my Rover calendar updated so owners can see when I’m available. I believe pets are happiest when their usual routine is maintained, so I take the time to learn each pet’s schedule and preferences. In a client’s home, I follow their instructions for feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, medication, and bedtime routines to help pets feel comfortable and secure while their owner is away. I also provide plenty of attention, companionship, and updates so owners can have peace of mind. My goal is to create a safe, calm, and positive experience for every pet while treating both the pet and the home with respect.
“Keianna is awesome! She is such a sweet and kind person, and I felt so comfortable leaving my kitties with her. One of my cats can be anxious around new people, and she was very patient and respectful with him. She sent lots of updates and pictures of them playing and having a nice time! I highly recommend her :)”


“Brooke was absolutely amazing with our dog Cocoa! She was so thoughtful, patient, and easy to work with. She gave us the peace of mind to enjoy our travels knowing that our dog was in wonderful hands”

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all kinds for over 23 years, treating every animal as if they were my own. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and love their pets throughout the years. I have one dog and three cats myself, so I understand how important it is to know your pets are in safe and caring hands. I also have experience with senior animals and administering medications, including caring for my cat with IBD for several years. Your pets’ comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priority. I work full-time from home, which gives me the flexibility to drop in and care for your pets whenever needed. My schedule allows me to be available throughout the day for walks, drop-ins, or extra snuggles. Also available on weekends I am very cautious when it comes to animal safety almost to a fault. I understand the worries of pet parents because I’m the same way with my own animals. I always make sure pets are securely leashed, doors are carefully managed, and that no one has the chance to slip out. Your fur babies’ safety and comfort will always be my top priority.
About: As dog owners ourselves, we believe in a simple principle: we won't do anything for your dog that we wouldn't do for our own. During the time they're with us, we treat them as if they were our own, with full attention and care. What makes our care different is that your dog gets the attention of two people, not one! Both my spouse and I work from home, so there's always someone around for companionship, playtime, and supervision throughout the day. We also know LA life can be unpredictable, so having two of us means we're able to stay flexible and work around your schedule whenever possible. As a clinical psychologist with a background in behavioral psychology, plus hands-on experience having personally adopted and trained a rescue dog, I understand dogs' needs on a deeper level, from anxiety and attachment to motivation and habit-building. Over the years caring for dogs across LA, we've worked with a wide range of breeds, sizes, and personalities, including dogs with picky eating, excessive barking, or high energy levels, and tailor our approach to each dog's individual needs. We always welcome a meet & greet before booking! There's a large, quiet park right by our home where we can chat through your dog's routine and make sure everyone feels comfortable. **First time clients please enjoy $20 off your first booking!** https://www.rover.com/sit/chanwl43421 Schedule Both my spouse and I work from home, so we're available for care any day of the week! Weekdays and weekends alike. This also gives us a lot of flexibility with pick-up and drop-off times, and we're happy to work around your schedule. Whether you need a quick daycare visit or long-term boarding, we'd love to help. Safety, trust & environment In our home, pets have plenty of space to relax and play, and with two of us around, dogs are never left unattended! You'll get regular check-ins and updates so you can feel confident your pup is in good hands. I follow your dog's routine closely and keep safety top of mind, whether it's leash rules on walks, feeding instructions, or respecting boundaries around other pets (We have three playpens! on hand, so we can easily section off space when needed). Our back patio is fully fenced, so dogs can enjoy off-leash time to run and play safely. We've made sure there's nothing sharp or hazardous back there, and we clean up after every potty break and hose down the area to keep it fresh and sanitary. Neighborhood dogs stop by for potty breaks too, so it's also a great spot for your pup to socialize. Being a typical Asian household, we don't wear shoes inside and that same care extends to keeping things clean for your pup! We vacuum 3-4 times a day, wash food and water bowls after every use, and wipe down paws with baby wipes (dog-wipes on request!) after walks.

About: I’ve cared for my family’s and friends’ cats, so I’m well-versed in their needs—whether it’s understanding when they’re unwell, managing their urinary issues, or sticking to specific diets. I know how to support them through stress, provide the attention they crave, and I’ve even cared for a hospitalized cat post-surgery. I bring that same devoted care to your cat! I work full-time as a remote application engineer, which gives me flexibility. If your cat needs extra care or even overnight attention, I’m fully open to that. I can easily bring my laptop and internet with me and work right from your home, ensuring your cat’s comfort without any schedule conflicts. Whether in your home or mine, I adapt. If the cat is friendly with others, I can host them alongside my two gentle Persian cats, letting them bond in a stress-free way. If they prefer their own space, I’ll care for them at your home. I always let them get comfortable at their own pace, handle litter, food routines, snacks, play, and if needed, I’m happy to have them sleep nearby.
About: Hi! I’m Alexia. I have over 10 years of experience caring for dogs of all shapes, sizes, and life stages from high energy puppies to senior dogs with specialized social and medical needs. My approach to pet care is rooted in patience, safety, and open communication. I know how deeply personal it is to trust someone with your fur baby, and my ultimate goal is to make sure your dog feels completely safe, secure, and loved while you are away. Why Choose Me: >Ultimate Flexibility: Working freelance allows me to easily accommodate both short-term schedules and extended, long-term stays. Your pup will get my dedicated attention. > Puppy & Senior Savvy: Whether it's managing strict medication timelines, reinforcing training, or handling delicate social needs, i understand the importance and will make it happen > Committed Communicator: You’ll get regular updates, photos, and peace of mind knowing your instructions are being followed exactly I work freelance so I am very flexible as far as short or long term needs! I have a small dog that I take with me when I do have to go somewhere for work so I would either plan to be at home or work that in! I travel with a very small, incredibly social Maltese mix who loves making new friends. For house sitting, I am happy to bring her along if your dog loves the company, or I can easily arrange for her care so I can focus entirely on your home and pet!
About: I've been around animals my whole life and have been caring for them since I was old enough to be home alone. Growing up, we always had at least one dog or cat (sometimes both!), so looking after pets just comes naturally to me. After high school, my family added chickens and ducks to the mix, and every summer when my parents traveled, I ran the whole show solo, feeding and caring for dogs, cats, chickens, and ducks all on my own. It was basically a little farm and I loved every second of it. I also have experience with elderly and special needs animals, including administering insulin injections to my family's senior cat, so if your pet has medical needs, I'm comfortable and confident handling that with care. I genuinely love spending time with animals, not just checking boxes. I take pride in giving detailed, attentive care and keeping pet parents in the loop so you can relax knowing they're in good hands. I work hybrid full time so I'm flexible with my schedule. Monday, Wednesday and Friday I am working from home while Tuesday/Thursday I am in office. I am willing to sit some weekends too. For cats, I'm happy to host in my own home where they'll get plenty of attention, playtime and a calm, cozy environment to settle into. I have personal experience helping cats adjust to new spaces, so even more anxious or shy kitties are in good hands. For dogs and other pets, I'm more than happy to do overnight stays at your home so they can stay in the environment they know best. Keeping them in their own space means less stress and I'll be right there with them through the night to make sure they feel safe and cared for.

Sherman Oaks cat parents share their Rover experiences
Katherine is amazing! Even after I mistakenly gave her the wrong address, she stayed patient and professional and still made sure our cat was taken care of. She is dependable, responsible, and genuinely caring. It’s rare to find someone you can trust so completely with your pet. We are very grateful for her help and would happily book with her again. 🐱💕

Minerva is the most amazing pet sitter. She attends so well to my babies and their needs, and communicates with me so amazing and goes above and beyond for my cats. This is the second time I’ve booked with Minerva, and I will forever book with her when I leave out of town. She helps relieve so much worry when I’m gone, and I know they will be well taken care of, and I don’t have to worry. I am so glad I found her, and she’s so amazing.

Bethany was fabulous! She followed all our instructions and the kitties absolutely loved her! The best part were the photos and updates she sent after each visit which made being away from our fur babies a little easier, knowing they were in such good hands. Highly recommend!!

Destiny was such a wonderful sitter for our furbaby Mazzie! She did everything we asked and more! We got so many pictures and videos of Mazzie playing and looking adorable which was such a relief because this was the first time she was alone since we got her. I could tell Destiny got along really well with her and that’s hard to do! She even helped us out with closing our blinds which we had forgotten! I was also really grateful at how communicative she was. I could expect a response within 30 minutes every time! I will definitely be booking her again!!
