About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and grew up learning about their care through my father, a respected veterinarian. I’ve always had animals of my own and have also cared for the pets of close friends and family. I’m compassionate, attentive, dependable, and genuinely love spending time with animals. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every animal in my care with the same love, patience, and attention I would want for my own. Weekday availability: Monday–Friday, mornings through 3:00 PM. Currently unavailable on weekends. I am a single mother of two. Student as I build my career.

About: Growing up I always had cats and dogs and have loved caring for them. Currently I am living on a small alpaca ranch and have gotten to experience taking care of alpacas, goats, chickens, horses, donkeys, dogs, cats, and lizards which all have unique needs. Whether your pet is simple and easy to care for or has a complex routine I am excited to help in any way I can! I'm currently a full-time student so the times I'm most available are Monday-Thursday before 9 A.M. and after 4 P.M. as well as Friday after 2 P.M. and Sunday after 6 P.M. If your dog would like to beat the heat with me at any of these times shoot me a message! If you book me my sole focus will be on your pet and making sure they have a safe and enjoyable time. I have experience with large dogs and pulling and can handle any interactions with other humans and dogs the way your family prefers. I am also able to manage multiple medications and schedules for pets and will take notes on anything your pet may need.
About: I’ve had dogs for as long as I can remember and grew up always having them as part of my family. My current dog is 11 years old, and I’ve cared for her ever since she was just 4 months old. Four years later, I welcomed another dog into my life, which taught me even more about balancing different personalities, energy levels, and needs. Overall, I have a lot of experience caring for both dogs and cats, and animals have always naturally gravitated towards me. I treat every pet as if they were my own, and will make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I am currently a graduate student in clinical rotations, which currently allows me to offer check ins and walks in the early mornings and afternoons. I am available for boarding on weekends, and can provide attentive, consistent care during those times. When caring for pets in their own home, I will prioritize safety, trust, and maintaining their normal routine. I will carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, walking, medications, and house routes. My goal is to create a safe, calm, and comfortable environment so your pet feels comfortable and stress-free while you’re away.
“Highly recommend our amazing pet sitter/house sitter! She watched our two extremely spoiled cats over a long weekend and treated them like absolute royalty. She kept us updated, took fantastic care of our home, and gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Honestly, when we got home, our cats seemed mildly annoyed that SHE wasn’t walking through the door instead. That says everything. 😂 We are so grateful and have hired her again for the next vacation. Anyone would be lucky to have her caring for their pets!”
About: I’ve been a pet owner from the time I was 5 years old, and I’ve been caring for them since. I can feed, walk, play, bathe, and even help with minimal grooming. I will love your pet like they are my own. I am available after 3pm most days and will come to you to perform whatever duties your pet needs—walking, feeding, playing, etc. I can’t have pets where I live, so it will be as much of a treat for me as it is for your pet :) I can offer services to your pet in the comfort of their home. The limit to my patience with animals does not exist. I’m happy to do whatever works for your individual pet as far as routine goes, so long as it fits into my schedule.
About: I have had cats since I was a young girl and own two 10 year old cats now, adopted from rescue shelters. I love all animals! I will ensure they have clean food and water, play and cuddle time, clean litter, and lots of love. I have five star ratings because I am caring, reliable, respectful, clean and communicative and truly love cats and the people I meet. I work remotely and have flexible hours so can pop in for a day time visit or stay overnights when I’m not caring for my daughter (have shared custody so a good amount of time on my own and enjoy traveling to care for cats too). I am attentive and communicative and will ask for your preferences but care for cats in their home and comfort zone. I am very familiar with cats and comfortable around animals.
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life, but my experience is especially dog-focused now that I have two dogs of my own. I understand the importance of keeping dogs on their normal routines and giving them the individual attention, exercise, playtime, and care they need. I also started babysitting and pet sitting for friends and family around age 14, which gave me years of hands-on experience caring for other people’s pets. I’m patient, attentive, and reliable, and I’m comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities and energy levels. Whether your dog loves long walks and playtime or prefers a calmer routine, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for like one of my own. This summer, I am taking summer classes and watching dogs because I love pets and needed to fill my day with something I enjoy and thought spending time with animals would be the perfect way. My home is very comfortable i have a lot of fluffy blankets that let’s like to lay on as well as a window for sun bathing and living room to play in.
“Cynthia was wonderful! She was friendly, professional, and very communicative throughout my holiday trip. I really appreciated the regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. She even went above and beyond by bringing my packages inside for safekeeping. I’d happily book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable sitter.”
About: I have taken care of all animal types from livestock to small animals like cats and reptiles. I grew up on a ranch in Colorado showing, training and raising goats, horses, rabbits, dogs, and more. I love animals and being active, and I’m excited to meet your furry family! I am currently a full time student at California Lutheran University and am free for walks and check ins on weekdays before 10:30am and after 4:30pm, full flexibility on weekends. I always treat your home and your pets with the same care and respect I’d want for my own. When I’m doing drop‑ins or house sitting, I keep your space tidy, follow all instructions closely, and make sure doors, gates, and crates are secured the way you prefer. Your animals safety is my top priority — I stick to familiar walking routes, avoid unsafe areas, and use your preferred leash, harness, and walking style. I’m attentive, calm, and patient with all animals, and I make sure they get the right mix of exercise, routine, and affection.You’ll always get clear communication and updates so you know exactly how your pet is doing while you’re away.
“Zack was absolutely amazing with my two dogs while I was away for a few days. My German Shepherd mix isn’t the easiest dog to care for, but Zack went above and beyond to make sure both of my dogs were happy, comfortable, and well taken care of. He’s responsible, trustworthy, and always on time. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my dogs were in such great hands. I came home to two happy, relaxed pups, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I highly recommend Zack to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter, and I will definitely be booking him again in the future!”
“Marcella is awesome she is a very caring and nurturing individual! She is really great with animals. I will definitely be using her in the future for all my animals! Thank you so much Marcella! 😊”

About: I love being active and going on walks, and it seems super fun to take some dogs along with me! I also love helping out! I would prefer mornings (8AM-11AM)ish! | am usually free every morning before I head to rehearsals for performances or classes that | teach in the area! I have two adorable dogs at home and we work hard to make sure they're safe inside and outside, and have no way to escape!
About: I have been taking care of a variety of dogs over the last ten years. I have been able to give love to puppies, animals in their last months of life, and even three legged friends. I enjoy taking dogs on walks, hikes, playing fetch, and interactive enrichment games. My schedule as a substitute teacher gives me a lot of flexibility throughout the week. I typically work anywhere from 2-4 days Monday-Friday, usually from around 8 AM–3 PM, so I have plenty of availability before and after school, as well as on days when I’m not teaching. I love being active, spending time outdoors, and being around animals, so caring for pets is something I genuinely enjoy and look forward to fitting into my routine. Whether it’s a walk, time to play, a drop-in visit, or house sitting, I’m happy to give pets the attention, exercise, and companionship they need! I always start by learning each pet’s individual routine, personality, and needs. Most importantly though, I follow the owner’s instructions closely. My goal is to make the pet feel like nothing has changed, even though their owner is away. For walks and drop-in visits, I enjoy getting to know each pet and finding fun ways to keep them happy and engaged. Depending on their personality and energy level, that might include going for a walk, playing fetch, trying interactive games, spending time outside, or simply giving them plenty of attention and affection. I like offering more than one way for pets to get their energy out while also making sure they have everything they need before I leave. For house sitting, I’m happy to follow their usual feeding, walking, play, and bedtime routines while keeping them company and making sure the home stays clean and secure. Since every pet is different, I’m always happy to adjust my care to their individual temperament, preferences, and needs.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Simi Valley
Jasmine was a great pet sitter! We have a very shy cat and in the few days Jasmine was able to form a connection and build trust that by the end she came out for pets and treats. She also bonded quickly with our other cat. She was timely, responsive, send great photos, and left detailed daily report cards. She went above and beyond and even put our ring camera that had fallen down back up! I would definitely recommend Jasmine and we would use her again in the future!
Meghan has been great as a pet sitter for my cats! After I left for vacation, I realized it was going to be really hot out for a couple days so I contacted Meghan and explained I needed her to set up a couple Fans and open the sliding doors a bit for better air circulation and set out more water for my cats. Meghan did everything I asked and took great care of my kitties, for which I am grateful.
Leaving our cats alone for the first time in a new home was stressful and Alexandra took care of everything! The cats loved her, she kept us informed and provided pictures and also took care of several packages that were left wile we were gone. I can definitely recommend Alexandra and will be using her again.
We have had Juan take care of our two cats five times and we don’t even consider hiring anybody else because he is the best! He and his girlfriend take great care of our cats and our home by providing us updates and adorable pictures of our cats. They even take the time to play with our cats, feed them treats, pet them, and ensure the house is safe. From the start, they’ve been great with receiving information about taking care of our cats and are very polite and adaptable when receiving new updates. We’ve been very grateful for them and would highly recommend!
