“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!”

“Heaven was right on time, respectful, kind, and communicative. She was wonderful with my senior cat and handled a long list of medication and care instructions with such grace. I really appreciated her visit and look forward to having her care for my cat again.”

About: I've spent my whole life caring for a wide range of dogs. From newborn puppies to older babies who need meds! I have experience with it all! I also have a dog that I trained so have basic training skills! In addition, I love all breeds (as long as they love my chill dog lol) I'm home everyday of the week so have ample time to care for your fur babies pets. I am able to be very flexible with their needs! I love animals more than people. They are welcome on all my furniture and even encouraged. I also have 1 very friendly, very chill dog who would love to be your dogs newest friend!
About: I’ve had cats throughout my life and have over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for them. I’m very attentive to their individual personalities and routines, and I understand when a cat wants affection and when they need space. I’m responsible, detail-oriented, and careful about following instructions. I also take being trusted in someone else’s home seriously and am very respectful of people’s privacy, belongings, and security. I have a flexible schedule and am available for drop-in visits throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I’m happy to work around your pet’s established routine and can accommodate regular visits as well as occasional care when you’re away. I take caring for pets in someone else’s home very seriously. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, keep doors and windows secure, and make sure your pet’s normal routine is maintained. I’m responsible, detail-oriented, and very respectful of your home, belongings, and privacy. I’ll also keep you updated during each visit so you know your pet is safe and doing well.

About: As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust. I have experience caring for both a cat and a small dog, so I’m comfortable with different personalities, routines, and care needs. I’m patient, reliable, and attentive to details, making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I treat every pet like my own and provide regular updates with photos and messages so you can feel confident they’re in good hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide regular walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and lots of attention. I prioritize keeping pets on their normal routine so they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always follow the owner’s instructions carefully. I provide a clean, safe, and calm environment, make sure pets have fresh water, regular meals, exercise, and plenty of affection. I pay close attention to their behavior and comfort and keep owners updated with messages and photos for peace of mind.
“10/10!! If I could leave more stars I would!! Maizy went above and beyond for my sweet boy and made sure he was loved and cared for while I was away:) She truly cares about animals and always goes the extra mile to make sure even senior babies or those with anxiety are at ease. Plus she’s the sweetest!! Book with her! you won’t be disappointed!!”

“Yvonne was incredible! She gave my cat extra love and cuddles. She pays close attention to details and is amazing at her job! I will a returning customer every time!!”

About: I have been watching over animals since I was a teenager. As I have gotten older I realized I have passion to watch over dogs and cats. I enjoy their presence as vice versa. There is no dog to small or big that I cannot care for. I am a pet owner as well I have a cat who is animal friendly do both cats and dogs. I provide the best service in the area as your fur baby is like my own. Your pet won’t be sitting alone wondering when someone’s coming back. I’m home throughout the day, which means consistent company, regular feeding, and someone actually present — not just checking in. Previously, even when I was working outside the home just 10 minutes away, I made it a point to come back during breaks so pets were never left too long. Now that I work from home, that presence is constant. I also have three cats of my own, so your dog will have calm, curious company if they’re open to it — and most are once they settle in. Flexibility is something I genuinely offer. Whether your schedule shifts or you need accommodations, I’m happy to work around what’s best for your pet. There is a few dog areas in the complex as well trails and parks to take your dog to for exercise as well to use the bathroom. My apartment is safe free and non-smoking environment.
“Vanesa is amazing!! My cat Penny warmed up to her so fast. She was great with communicating with me everyday with pictures and videos to make sure my cat was safe the entire time. Extremely friendly and even left us a cat treat at the end of the drop ins. Would 1000% recommend Vanesa to anyone looking for care.”

About: I had dogs and cats my whole life and have always been a huge pet lover! I have experience with taking care of puppies/kittens as well as older pets. I can provide full and undivided attention to your pet and will make sure they are comfortable, entertained, well fed and cleaned, and most importantly, loved! I am currently working part-time with very flexible hours, meaning that I can prioritize the needs of your pet! I am able to put in a lot of time into pet care. My own apartment is a small space so there will definitely be plenty of walks put into the pet-care schedule. In terms of restrictions, I am absolutely OK with pets on furniture so they will be very comfortable. In the client’s home, I will respect and follow all instructions given to me as well as keep things tidy/clean.
About: I have cared for & been around dogs my entire life. From volunteering at animal shelters as a kid to dog/catsitting at my friends and families houses, there is nothing I love more than making a new furry friend. Seriously, I will stop every dog I see to say hi. And if having personalized merch of my two dogs doesn’t say enough, I don’t know what will! I am currently working on a hybrid schedule with lots of flexibility & plenty of time to bond with your pet. I also have no commitments on the weekends! I am happy to care for your pet(s) in the comfort of your/their own home! I love going on long walks and own several toys and treats that will always be on hand :)
About: I had a handsome cattle dog for six years (Pancho!), so I know high-energy, highly attentive pups, and I’m used to reactive dogs, dogs who need solo walks, and dogs who think poop is a snack. I know how to steer clear of triggers so walks stay calm and safe. As someone that used to own a “high maintenance” dog, I know the stress of asking someone else to care for them, don’t worry, I got you! No judgement! I'm also a regular cat sitter for my sister's three kitties, each on their own special diet and personality (they love each other, but must eat in separate rooms). I work from home, and would love to have your pet as my co-worker. I’m happy to keep routines and send plenty of photos :) Dogs, cats, and overnights welcome. I currently don’t have any pets since we recently said goodbye to our dear Pancho dog, and would LOVE to have some furry faces back in my life! I work from home, so your pet is never alone. Potty breaks can happen as often as needed. During the workday, they're welcome to nap in my office with me (was my cattle dog's favorite spot), or stretch out on the couch in the living room, or hang in the fenced yard, which I can see through the big sliding glass doors by my desk. My work schedule is flexible, so I'm happy to plan walks around your pet's routine. Otherwise, we do a long lunch walk and another around 3pm. I usually wrap up work by 3pm, which leaves plenty of time for afternoon play and hangouts. I have no other pets right now, so they get my full attention, and they're welcome on the furniture in my home. I have two fenced areas: a front driveway that's mostly concrete, and a backyard with grass and trees. My dog preferred the driveway, where he loved sunbathing on the warm concrete :) For care at your home, I'm happy to crate your dog if that's part of their routine. Cat owners, I'll clean litter boxes during drop-ins, or set one up here for overnight stays.
About: I’ve always been the person friends and family trust to watch their pets because I genuinely love spending time with animals. I know how stressful it can be to leave your pet with someone else, so I do my best to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s a puppy with lots of energy, a senior pet who needs a slower pace and extra care, or a pet that’s a little shy at first, I’m patient and happy to adjust to their needs. I pay attention to the little things, follow routines closely, and love sending updates and photos so you know your pet is doing well. My goal is for your pet to feel like they’re hanging out with a friend, not just being watched I’m currently on summer break from my job as an elementary after-school teacher, so I have a more flexible schedule and extra time to dedicate to pet care. During the summer, I work a part-time job, which allows me to provide care before and after my shifts. I’m able to plan my schedule around pets’ needs and make sure they get the attention, care, and companionship they deserve. I’m also available on weekends for extra visits, overnight care, or just some extra love and attention if needed. 🐾❤️ When caring for pets in your home, I try to keep their routine as normal as possible so they feel comfortable while you’re away. I’ll make sure they’re fed on schedule, have fresh water, clean litter boxes, and get plenty of love and attention. I know every cat is different—some want constant cuddles and playtime, while others prefer their space—so I always let them set the pace. I’ll also send updates and photos so you can relax knowing your cat is happy and well cared for
About: I have been taking care of pets for a long time, especially if you include the period when I bought a collar from the dollar store and walked around the house with my stuffed dog. There is no pet that is too big or too small. You can trust that I will create some fun memories for your pet! I currently have an open schedule with plenty of flexibility to see your pet! I'm up early and ready to drop in anytime you need. Whether on a walk, a house visit, or a house sit, I am very intentional with spending quality time with limited distractions. If you trust me with your pet, you can count on me to make sure they get the best care.
About: My family has always had dogs. Both big and small. Caring for dogs is like second nature. I’d love to help you with your canine family. I’m here to help, so working within your schedule is important. While I do work part-time, my schedule is flexible so I can be there when you need me. I want to make your pets as comfortable as possible. Whatever concerns or instructions you have, I take seriously and implement to create a smooth transition for your loved ones.
About: I am an animal lover looking to earn some extra cash doing something I enjoy! I grew up with dogs and cats myself so this would be a perfect job for me. I'll make sure to keep your friend happy and occupied while you are away at work or whatever responsibilities you have to take care of. I'm perfectly fine with most sized dogs and can keep a handle on them during walks. I love playing with animals, so keeping them occupied won't be an issue. I'm good at taking direction so if your pet has any special concerns, I'll take care of them and make sure they are happy and healthy!

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Sherman Oaks
Anya and Dana were perfect! They sent pictures and updates every day and even responded to last minute requests from my apartment building. I came back to a very content kitty, who probably barely realized I was gone. I appreciated their attention to detail during our meet & greet and they were able to give my old lady lots of love and care while I was away. I would absolutely book them again!

Kaitlin is the best sitter we could have ever asked for. She’s kind, considerate, thoughtful, thorough, and sent plenty of intentional photos and descriptions while we were gone! She’s the absolute best and we would be so lucky to work with her in the future.

Marina did a wonderful job! She was very friendly, easy to work with, and kept me updated the entire time. If I ever leave on another vacation, I'll make sure to see if she's available. If you have cats and want to make sure they're well looked after, please consider doing the same!!

Jennifer was the absolute best. I get so anxious and overwhelmed with leaving my special needs cat when I need to travel, but she was so wonderful with her and came right on time every day to bond with her, give her medication, and send detailed updates. I'll absolutely book with her again!!

Jackeline has watched my cats a few times and she always does a fantastic job. I feel like she really cares about my boys and gave them lots of love and spoiled them appropriately while I was gone (as requested). Very communicative and always leaves everything as nice or nicer than I did. The best sitter I’ve had on Rover so far!

Heaven was right on time, respectful, kind, and communicative. She was wonderful with my senior cat and handled a long list of medication and care instructions with such grace. I really appreciated her visit and look forward to having her care for my cat again.

Bethany is a caring and thoughtful person. She watched our cat for 8 days (longest we’ve ever been away from our cat) and she took the best pictures and made sure our cat was happy and had company. I can’t recommend Bethany enough, she loves animals and is extremely reliable.

Minerva did such a fantastic job. I was a little worried since we needed her to care for a lot of pets with different foods, but she handled it all gracefully. She was also very accommodating to the times we needed her to come. If you’re looking for a pet sitter who is detail oriented and trustworthy, your search can end here! Thank you Minerva!

Dana is a wonderful and thoughtful sitter. The photos that she sent of our dog and cat showed how happy they were with her. We felt secure in our choice of sitter and would definitely choose Dana in the future. She even watered our tomatoes while we were gone! Excellent sitter all around!

I am so grateful for Mikayla’s consistently thoughtful care of my beloved shy/grumpy six year old cat. The hardest part of travel is being away from my cat and it is a relief knowing he’ll have a kind, watchful eye on him, and access to his favorite treats while I’m away :)
