“Madeline is wonderful! She’s one of our pup’s favorite people, and we are so grateful for her. We can’t recommend her enough! She’s attentive and playful with him. Thank you!”


“Emma from Lando Health & Wellness Pet Therapy was incredibly compassionate and attentive! She did a drop-in visit for my husky Junior. Junior instantly took a liking to her. Emma not only provided exceptional care for my dog, but also captured delightful moments through her impressive pet photography skills. I highly recommend her as a top-notch pet sitter and will definitely be rebooking!”


“Minerva was amazing! She took such incredible care of Stella while we were gone. Stella has been a little sick and she was so good dealing with an older cat. Highly recommend!!!”


“Trinity was AMAZING! Our cat is obsessed with attention, and she was so great about giving him love and taking care of him. We had a last minute change of plans, and she was so accommodating to add days and continue caring for our baby. We will definitely reach out again for our next trip!”


“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 :)”


About: As a full-time clinical psychologist working from home, I’m able to spend plenty of quality time with the dogs I care for. Your pup won’t be left alone or bored—I’m here throughout the day for companionship, playtime, and attentive supervision. I have hands-on experience with rescue dogs, and I’ve personally adopted and trained one myself. This experience, combined with my professional background in behavioral psychology, allows me to understand dogs’ needs on a deeper level—from anxiety and attachment to motivation and habit-building. What truly sets me apart is how much I love and respect animals. I tailor my care to match each pet parent's specific preferences, making sure both the dog and their family feel fully supported and at ease. Whether it’s sticking to a routine, sending regular updates, or reading your dog’s signals, I approach every dog as if they were my own. I work from home on weekdays, which gives me the flexibility to provide care throughout the day. I’m generally available at most times during the week, and with a little notice, I can usually accommodate weekend requests as well. I only care for one dog at a time for both daycare and home boarding, unless they’re from the same household. This allows me to give your pup my full attention and ensure a peaceful, stress-free environment tailored to their needs. Whether your dog stays at my home or I care for them in yours, I focus on creating a calm, safe, and loving environment. I follow your dog's routine closely and always keep safety top of mind—whether it's leash rules on walks, feeding instructions, or respecting boundaries around other pets. In my home, pets have plenty of space to relax and play. I never leave dogs unattended, and I provide regular check-ins and updates so you can feel confident your pup is in good hands.

“Cecilia was the best. She was so great with my cat, Cosmo. She was professional, easy-going, communicated with me very well the entire time, and sent lots of pics. She really seemed like she cared, and I felt very safe leaving him with someone like her that truly loves animals of all kinds. Highly recommend.”


About: I've been a professional dog walker/pet sitter for the past 15 years, and new to Rover! I take care of dogs and cats, and have a lot of satisfied customers, including the pets (they just can’t put it into words). Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness is always my top priority, so rest assured they’ll be well cared for. I'm a freelance writer in my spare time, with pet sitting being my main job. I take care of dogs in my home or your home for walks and/or drop-in visits, and cats in your home for drop-in visits. For day care or boarding, I live on the ground floor of a 4-unit house with a small fenced-in, shaded yard for the doggies to go potty and play in, and there’s plenty of room for zoomies! Yard time is always supervised by me (they’re never out there alone), and I also take them for walks in my tree-lined neighborhood. There are dog beds & comfortable couches they are welcome to plop on.


“Bianca was really great and friendly to work with. She is professional, punctual, and responsive in her communication. She put as at ease with the care she offered our cat and gave her extra attention while we were away (including brushing & petting). She provided an update with a photo, letting us know how everything was going. We will definitely work with Bianca again and would highly recommend her to anyone in need of a trustworthy and caring cat sitter. Thank you for taking such amazing care of our cat!”


About: I've spent the last 12 years of my life learning to take care of furry friends of various temperaments. I have experience with all kinds of dogs, from extremely energetic (like my family's first dog, a high-strung Portuguese Water Dog) to extra reserved (like our current dog, an anxious labradoodle), and am easily able to adapt my personality to any dog. I've spent time helping a senior dog with separation anxiety feel comfortable eating while her family was away, feeding cats and dogs for friends' families, and doing all manner of tasks with my own dogs, including grooming, bathing, feeding and more. I'm a recent UCLA grad, so I have the time to spend much of my days hanging out with your pup. Note: I have a mild dog allergy, so while I'm happy to take on all dogs for walks and drop-in visits, I can only do overnight stays with non-shedding/hypoallergenic dogs! I've just graduated from UCLA and am looking to fill an awkward gap in my employment schedule with pet care—so I'll be available almost 24/7 for the coming month! I am experienced with living with multiple animals and following their daily routine, from feeding and walks to playtime. I'm also accustomed to knowing their needs based on their body language, and love to get to know new animals.

About: I got my dog Cooper when I was 10 years old. He lived for 17 years and I loved him more than anything. I am familiar with taking care of senior dogs, as Cooper could not see or hear very well in his older years. I also have experience dog sitting for rescue dogs, as I have taken care of my aunt's two rescue pups many times over the past few years. It took a lot of time and patience for one of them (Matty) to become comfortable around me. Building Matty's trust has been one of the most special experiences of my life. I am able to fit pet care into my schedule at any time that you need since I work remotely and have a flexible schedule. I live in an apartment and would take your dog out on regular walks in my calm neighborhood. Dogs are always welcome on the furniture here! At your home, I will follow all of your instructions closely and respectfully.

About: Trust. Care. Reliability. You love your dog and that's why you're looking for someone who is experienced and responsible. You want an adult to care for one of the things you love most in this world. As a passionate and skilled dog sitter and dog walker, I bring years of hands-on experience, including being a pet care Supervisor and Expert Handler at Dog E Den in Sherman Oaks, a doggie Daycare Manager at The Event Center in Margate, and my continued work as an Emergency Dog Foster Specialist for Ace of Hearts Dog Rescue of Beverly Hills. Previously, I was a successful producer at NBC but now have chosen to spend my time teaching as a professor at UCLA and helping animals. I am doing dog walking for my love of being outside with dogs. All breeds. All sizes. I have years of experience loving and caring for all of them, including my previous work often caring for up to 30 dogs simultaneously. I am dedicated to ensuring the safety, happiness, and well-being of each furry friend, while providing pet owners with peace of mind. My goal is to deliver top-notch care and personalized attention to every dog under my care. Experience: - Comprehensive Dog Care: daily care for a diverse group of dogs, including feeding, grooming, exercise, and ensuring their specific needs were met. - Behavioral Training: obedience and behavioral training using positive reinforcement techniques. - Safety and Supervision: Maintained a safe and secure environment, closely monitoring interactions. - Customized Care: Tailored to meet each dog's unique needs. - Exercise and Play: Organized and supervised playgroups and individual exercise. Special Skills: - Dog Body Language: Able to read dog body language and provide care for multiple dogs at once. - Customer Service: Excellent customer service skills with guests (human and canine). Very reliable and always responsible. - Attention to Detail: Detail-oriented and strong multi-tasking skills. - Calm and Assertive Energy: Maintain calm and assertive energy around the pack and individual dogs. - Compassionate Care: Demonstrated ability to provide compassionate care and keep all dogs safe, healthy, and happy. Foster Parent Experience: Proven success with a variety of breeds and sizes, including Boxers Beagles Weimaraners Shih Tzus Lhasa Apsos Rhodesian Ridgebacks Cocker Spaniels Teacup Poodles, and currently, a lovingly burrito-shaped French Bulldog named Moose. With a deep dedication to the care and happiness of dogs, I look forward to bringing my skills and passion to you and ensuring your dog receives the attention and love they deserve. I have tons of flexibility. We can find times that work best for you and your loved furry ones. I look forward to helping you and meeting your dogs. When I take care of animals, I care for them as if they are my own. That also applies to the respect and care for your place. It is your home. Your things and your pet will always be protected, and attended to with the utmost love and diligence. You can trust that they are in safe and loving hands with me.

Haley G.
“I currently own my own Pet Sitting and walking business so choosing someone to watch my own animals they have to be pretty special. I have two dogs and two feral cats that she tends to while staying at the house. It’s all done with love and compassion. Both dogs are special in their own ways and I don’t mean in an easy way. One was rescued from Mexico streets and has feared base aggression. The other was taken from his mom at a young age due to seizures. Which we have under control , but she has cared for them both and has provided excellent care for them. I would recommend Haley for your animal needs.”


Dean M.

“We call Dean EVERY TIME we need a great dog walker. He always shows up when he says he will. He is always good to his word and always professional and knows exactly how to keep our puppy Brownie happy. I wish everyone I work with was as good at their job as Dean is at caring for dogs.”
