“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!”

About: I had the pleasure of growing up alongside the most wonderful mix of animals, including dogs, cats, guinea pigs, rabbits, a rat, a chinchilla, a hedge hog, fish, chickens, ducks, horses, goats, a pigeon, quails, and even a peacock! My parents showed me the ropes of pet care long ago when they started a horse boarding stable and their own Rover pet sitting service. I joined them on many dog walks, cat visits, and pet feedings, enjoying the time we got to share with so many animals. I now own two beautiful guinea pigs named Bob and Teddy that definitely border on spoiled in their luxury pig oasis. I personally can't imagine life without the joy pets bring us, and I want to make sure your pets get the same love you give them when you're away! I currently run an Etsy shop out of my apartment, so I am always able to quickly get to your pets as needed. I am free to fit the schedule of your pets to ensure their normal feedings and play times remain untouched when you're away. Since I already commonly work on the weekends for my shop, I have no problem getting the chance to care for your pet any day of the week. I will follow the instructions you leave for your pet to follow with care. As someone who knows animals, I know their routines are vital to their comfort. I will happily let pets out in a fenced yard, go for walks, and feed to their needed schedule. I'm also very willing to care for a variety of pets! The less common Rover clients deserve love and care, too!
“Booked Gina for my kitty babies and she did great! They loved her 🥰 will definitely be a repeat client. Very caring and kept me informed and updated the whole time, even offered to get them things if needed it. Highly recommend her for your furr baby needs”

“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 :)”


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: First time clients please enjoy $20 off your first booking! https://www.rover.com/sit/chanwl43421 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. What makes our home extra special is that my lovely and caring spouse also works from home. This means your dog will always have someone around, receiving attention, love, and care from both of us. There’s never a moment where they’ll be left out or overlooked. 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. We always welcome a meet & greet before booking. There’s a large, quiet park right by our home where we can meet in a neutral setting, talk through your dog’s needs and routine, and make sure everyone feels comfortable. Feel free to reach out and schedule one! Above all, your dog’s safety is my number one priority. Rover provides strong safety guidelines, and I’ve already had positive experiences using Rover’s tools to handle unexpected situations with calm and flexibility. You can trust that your pup will be in capable and loving hands. 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 focus on creating a calm, safe, and personalized environment for every dog in my care whether it's for daycare or home boarding. I take time to understand each pup’s unique needs, follow their routines closely, and provide lots of love and attention to help them feel at home. 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.
About: I'm a life long dog lover who is ready to care for your furry friends! I've grown up with dogs my whole life and have been pet sitting for friends and family for as long as I can remember. I work freelance from home so I have plenty of time to spend with your pup. I cared for my soul dog for 13 years until he passed last year so I'm experienced with senior and special needs dogs as well. I absolutely love caring for senior dogs. I have also been fostering dogs with a rescue ever since, which has given me experience with lots of different sizes, energy levels, and personalities. If I have a foster I will always add them to my profile so you can know! I have a comfortable home with lots of places to nap and a large rooftop patio for laying in the sun. I can't wait to welcome your dog into my home! I work freelance from home so I am always around to be with your pet! Your dog will have as much company as they need. I'm not usually gone for long but I do sometimes have plans that take me out of the house, so your dog should be cool being left alone for short periods of time, whether free roaming or in a crate. But more often than not I am home with the dogs! My dog was always allowed on all the couches and beds but I'm willing to work with you on however you need! Feel free to bring their favorite bed or I do have some here. At night whether they prefer their crate, their bed on the floor, or in bed with me it's not a problem! The neighborhood is great for walks so just let me know how often your dog is used to going. I also have a large roof top patio with a porch potty available! It's a great place to relax in the sun.
About: Hi! I'm Andrea, a Sherman Oaks local, mom, and lifelong animal lover who's been around dogs and cats my whole life (including the two cats currently running my home). I know what it means to hand your pet off to someone and hope for the best, and I want to be the person you never have to worry about. I offer 30 and 60 minute dog walks, dog drop-in visits, and cat drop-in visits for pets who need a little company and attention during the day. Every visit includes a photo update and a quick note about how your pet did. I know that stuff matters when you're at work wondering how they're doing! I keep my client list intentionally small so I can give every animal real attention, not just a rushed loop around the block or a quick bowl refill. Meet-and-greets are always included before we get started; I want to make sure it's a good fit for your pet, not just a booking. I'm based in Sherman Oaks and cover the surrounding Valley neighborhoods. If you're looking for someone consistent, reliable, and genuinely invested in your pet's wellbeing, I'd love to connect! I keep my client list small and intentional, which means your pet is never an afterthought in a packed day. Visits are scheduled with enough buffer time so I'm never rushed and your pet gets my full attention, not a quick check-in between back-to-back bookings. When I'm in your home, I treat it with the same care I'd want someone to show mine. I follow your instructions closely, make sure doors and gates are secure, and never cut a visit short. For dog walks, I use your pet's own leash and equipment unless you prefer otherwise, and I stay aware of the environment around us like other dogs, traffic, anything that could affect your pet's safety. For cat drop-ins, I move calmly through your space, make sure food, water, and litter are taken care of, and spend real time with your cat rather than just completing a checklist.

About: Ive always loved and gotten along with animals. My mom taught me at a young age to not just react to their actions but to listen to them on a deeper level while intuiting their emotions. I love and respect dogs and cats because of how emotive they are and how unique each one of their personalities is. No two are alike, which is why caring for one is always a unique experience. I am available for all times any day of the week! I am a solo game developer so since I work for myself, if I am not writing code, I'll be taking care of your pets! I have am completely open to being recorded on a ring/home camera for owners own sense of security and to ensure I am giving the absolute best care to their little ones.
About: I’ve watched and taken care of dogs and cats since I was very little. From family to neighbors to friends, I’m the one they called! I’m not the type of person to just ignore your pet for money. I really love creating a welcoming relationship and allowing them to be comfortable at all costs, and of course have so much fun while their parents are gone. I know exactly what it takes to give them the love they deserve and need. Think of me as the cool cousin or uncle lol. Play dates, treats, walks, snuggles; all of the above! I’m your guy. Let alone, I’m extremely respectful and conscious about leaving the space cleaner than when I arrived, and following ALL of the rules set in place for my job. I prioritize professionalism and leaving my boss nothing short of happy as leaving their children can be stressful. Whether that’s constant check ins, pictures, or recaps, I can meet any and all expectations happily! :) Right now I am currently unemployed and giving my all to music. That said, I have built a mobile studio and really just work on records all day! That said, I am still attentive, at home, and will always invite my doggy or any other’s to come catch a vibe and listen! I have a fenced backyard and the sweetest golden doodle of all time to keep your pet additional loving company. Play time to movie nights, I do it all with my best friend and we aren’t stingy about adding company!
“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!!!”

“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!”

“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.”

“Brooke was great! She communicated with me the entire time and was available last minute. I would highly recommend her to watch your dogs! I will have her back in the future :)”

“Kerry took amazing care of my senior pup during the drop-in I scheduled! I’m usually home with him but had to be away for an extended period and she happily took him for his potty break, gave him his snack and hung out with him for a bit while I was away. It helped make a stressful day much less stressful. ♥️”
“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: Hi! I’ve been a pet owner, dog walker, and house sitter for over ten years. I had a cat for 21 years and my current dog is 11 years old. I’m extremely attentive, caring, and love to go on long walks. I typically work from home so I am available throughout most of the day! I love going on walks and try to walk as much as possible. I don't care for pets in my home as I don't have my own place. I will gladly take care of your pets in your home.

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!!

Jen was great! This was our families first time using Rover, so while we were a little nervous, Jen was just fantastic. She got our slightly complicated entry instructions and took care of our dogs like a pro. Really sweet and we are just super happy! Thanks Jen!

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!!

As usual, Kerry is a Godsend. My kitty cat was healthy and happy after our return from vacation over 2.5 weeks. I should be jealous at how easily forgotten I was by my cat once Kerry took over. She’s so professional and caring. Def our go to sitter when we are away. Thanks Kerry and thank you Rover.
