“Rose was great. We needed last minute dog sitting. She had quick and great communication throughout the day. Followed all instructions for our pup and even sent pics :) would recommend and use again :)”
“Daylin was polite and thorough with her questions about our elderly dogs when we first met. She did a great job taking care of them and making sure they received their medications. She also regularly sent great pictures to keep us assured that our dogs were doing well. She also left our house clean. We would hire her again. Thank you, Daylin!”

“Anna was absolutely wonderful with our pets. She sent detailed updates and photos, and was very attentive to our dog. She noticed her paws were red and notified us immediately and took some extra steps to help with that. She also ensured our dog had her eyedrops regularly, and ensured there was lots of play time! Our dog seemed to really love spending time with her! Anna also left our apartment in great condition. Would absolutely book her again.”

“Jehiny did a great job at watching our baby girl Boxer. She sent updates and pictures which made us really happy. Boxers are very active and she managed her well. She’s 7 months old and loves attention. Jehiny ensured to give us an update upon our arrival and you could tell our baby girl had a great time. She was wagging her tail and looked very comfortable.”

About: I have had a dog and a cat with my family since I was 12 years old. I live by myself now so I miss them very much. I transferred my love and energy to care for other pets in need. I have fostered 6 kittens and 2 adult cats. I just adopted the mama cat I fostered. Watching them live healthily and happily is my greatest joy ❤️ I will always keep your pet in sight. I am energetic and I have plenty of time to play with and take care of your pets. I live in an apartment. I am experienced so I will always keep the windows and doors closed for your pets' safety. Additionally, I am a very careful person. I will take care of your pet based on their personality and habits.
“Zakiya was great and responsive from the initial request to being accommodating with my travel. I really appreciated her empathy towards pets and their behaviors. She was good with sending photos & updates daily and put together a daily log of food times, etc. Highly recommend!”

“We had Don watch our 3 year old dog for 3 nights and 4 days. He was absolutely the perfect sitter. He arrived at 5:30AM so we could have our dog be with him while we headed to the airport to relieve any anxiety and stayed until 7:00PM so we could get back not too late with our dog being alone. Don was very kind, sweet, and attentive towards our dog. He asked for a detailed item list for his stay, he sent us a ton of photos and videos without us having to always ask, and reached out to help clean up sheets, vacuum, take the trash out before his stay ended. You can tell he has a passion for dogs and truly enjoys spending time with them. I would highly recommend Don if you are looking to enjoy your vacation or time away and want to feel like you can trust someone to make your dog happy. We look forward to hiring him again next time we are out of town. He will be our first choice in sitters moving forward.”

“Hannah was amazing! This was a very last minute booking for our 4 mth old Mini Austrialian Sheppard Hank ( within a hour) and Hannah responded right away. She was great with his high energy and kept him very entertained throughout the evening. He slept so well he was worn out! I would call on Hannah again next time we need a sitter. I highly recommend her also!”

“Jami was the most excellent anyone could be. She canceled her original plans for the night to dog sit for Teddy, knowing I was coming into town and not having any luck finding anyone else to stay with him while I attended a concert. I was extremely late getting out the door and she had no problem being extremely patient, waiting around the corner just reading until we gave the go-ahead to come switch for our parking spot at the motel in which we were staying. Once finally WITH Teddy, she did a wonderful job keeping him company and sent me plenty of pupdates that he was just relaxing and snuggling. She communicated clearly about how long she could stay and we encountered zero issues meeting her back on the agreed upon time. 12 out of 5 stars here. Absolutely book with Jami. :)”

“Jessica (Jasper) was great and was loved by our little guy! Took great care of our place and kept our little one entertained and safe. A very kind and compassionate soul whom we'd love to have back.”


About: I’ve cared for dogs and pets for years & understand how important trust, safety, and consistency are. I’m dependable, patient, and comfortable with dogs of different sizes and energy levels. I can provide walks, feeding, playtime, companionship, and regular photo updates. I treat every pet with care and attention like they’re family. I have a flexible schedule and can often accommodate mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends depending on availability. Pet care fits well into my routine, and I make time for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and quality attention for each pet. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions, keep pets secure on walks and in the home, and provide regular updates with photos. I respect clients’ homes, keep a calm environment, and make sure pets feel comfortable and cared for.
“Anne was great - our 75lb German Shepherd Rottweiler mix warmed up to her quickly, she provided us one pupdate per day while we were out of town, and she kept our home clean and tidy. Thanks Anne!”


About: I've been looking after my friends pets for over 15 years. I have lots of experience with cats, dogs and mixed pet households. I am comfortable administering medicine, vet trips, emergency messes, and more. As far as your home, I will treat it as my own and leave it better than I found if at all possible. As a 20+ year photographer I also offer the option of making some cute portraits of your pets while I care for them, these are intimate and high quality from a professional artist and many pet owners cherish these images. Inquire if interested! I am a freelance artist and contract-worker. Most of my work these days is remote, which means I follow my own routines each day of waking up around 5am, and doing activities and walks. I know how to find a pet's rhythm and communicate with them about their needs. I live inside of a secure apt building that is completely locked off and fenced in with only a few other small dogs on the premises who usually stay indoors. I also make daily walks to the park in the 3-mile range.
“Charlotte was absolutely amazing with my Husky for my house stay! She was super attentive and took care with a lot of updates as well. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a friendly and professional sitter :)”

“Jacky took great care of our two dogs while we were away. I felt very secure leaving them in her hands. She made went above and beyond re: walking and playing with them. A true heart for animals, we would definitely work with Jacky again :) thank you!”

“We had never left our dachshund with someone she didn’t know before, but she took to Prabha like they were old friends! Prabha was great to communicate with, sent a lot of updates and pictures, and had no problem following Audie’s routine. Prabha was so diligent about playtime that we might have to step up our game! It was nice to get home and see a happy, well-loved dog (not to mention a tidy house).”

“First time with Stephanie house-sitting for my 15yo beagle and it was a huge success! Great communication, easy and flexible. Stephanie followed all instructions to a tee and I came home to a happy pup and a pristine home, will definitely book again!”

About: First time Rover customers can use code VERAO58732 to get $20 off on my services! Looking forward to welcoming your pet to our house with a large, grassy fenced yard, centrally located in the city of LA! Note that I sometimes watch multiple pets at a time depending on the demand (especially weekends and holidays), please let me know if this is a concern so we can discuss your dates and needs. I have loved and cared for dogs, cats, birds, and fish since I was a kid, but currently only have 1 cat. I love the opportunity for our family to have more contact with various animals. providing worry-free care that allows people to travel even last minute when they need to. We are a family of animal and travel lovers who know from experience how difficult it can be to find someone responsible and reliable to care for your pet lovingly when you need to be away. I work part time from home so your pet will get plenty of human attention and choices of areas in the house to relax or play. I walk my daughter to school (2.2 miles roundtrip) in the mornings, perfect opportunity for an extended dog walk. If your pet prefers to be carried or stay at home or take shorter walks, that works too! I have a large fully fenced grassy back yard. I also have a lockable cat door in case your feline prefers indoor/outdoor access. I can also keep your kitty inside at all times if that is preferred. I have one young neutered male cat that loves company. If your doggy likes to have frequent backyard access, we have a magnetic screen door that allows the doggies we take care of to come in and out the back door and into the yard when they please. I am currently working part time, at home, so I am at home most of the day. I walk my daughter to school M-F 8:30-9:30 a.m,, which is a good long walk for the pups that enjoy that, so pickup/dropoff should either be before or after that time. On weekends we go out to community events, parks and for long walks and bring dogs with us whenever possible I have a big fully fenced backyard that is lockable. If you would like your pet to be in a crate at certain times, you will need to provide it along with instructions on how you would like it used. I feed dogs separately as I have several rooms and yard that allow for separation. I am confident with elderly dogs and those with special medical needs to include administering oral, topical and injectable medications, gentle walks, carrying or walking pets in a stroller when necessary or preferred. I can only sit non-aggressive dogs in my home who pose no danger to cats, other dogs or children all of which are present in my home at various times. I will need you to confirm this if it is not on your pet’s profile before I can accept your pet into my home. All pets need to be up to date on shots and flea meds.

South Los Angeles pet parents share their Rover experiences
Anna is such a great sitter for both our pets. Our dog has some special needs right now, and Anna paid careful attention to our instructions, and kept us in the loop on how things were going. It’s amazing peace of mind knowing our little family is in good hands with Anna when we’re out of town!

Sarah took such good care of our eleven year old foster dog, Claudia! She messaged updates regularly, which I LOVED, and she also let me know when she was leaving the house without the dog to run errands, etc. A sitter has never done that before, and I 💯 appreciated it! The house was spotless when we returned, and most importantly, Claudia was so relaxed, and happy when we got home - she loved Sarah. We’re looking forward to booking her again soon!

Jayla was my first Rover experience, and I'll admit I was nervous about trusting a stranger with my home and my dog. But from the moment I met her, those nerves disappeared. My Australian Shepherd has strong herding instincts and needs someone who truly understands the breed — not just a dog lover, but an experienced handler. Watching Jayla walk her around the block told me everything I needed to know. We came home to a clean house and, more importantly, a calm, regulated dog. We typically kennel her when we travel, and she always comes back stressed and needs days to decompress. This time, she didn't miss a beat — right back to her normal routine like we'd never left. That says everything. I'm so grateful to have found such a great fit and will absolutely be booking Jayla again for our next trip — fingers crossed she's available!

Camille was absolutely wonderful while caring for our two fur babies. She is incredibly trustworthy, kind, and communicative. She sent us photos and updates throughout the weekend, which really put our minds at ease. Our pets were very comfortable around her, and she even took the time to take our dog to his favorite park, and provided constant play and engagement to both fur babies. Camille also took excellent care of our home and left everything spotless. I can’t recommend her enough! If you’re looking for someone who will truly care for your home and pets, you’ll be in great hands with her.

Absolutely the best service. She checked on my dogs after a questionable sitter situation and made sure they were safe and comfortable. She was patient, kind, and truly went above and beyond — leaving treats and even tidying up my living room. Highly recommend!

Charley was absolutely wonderful with my pets, Bruno & Mochi! It was clear from the start how much she loves animals. She was incredibly reliable and trustworthy, and her communication was excellent throughout the booking. We especially appreciated the regular photo updates, which put our minds completely at ease while we were away. The pets were happy and relaxed when we returned, which is the best indicator of great care. We would not hesitate to book Charley again and highly recommend her to anyone in need of a fantastic sitter.

Kia was an amazing dog and house sitter for us! She was so communicative, sent us photo updates, and followed our instructions to a T, along with taking such great and considerate care of our spaces and home. We really appreciated her attentive care for our dog, and we could tell he was so happy with her company for the weekend. Thank you again, Kia!

We had the best experience with Heather! She stayed at our home to watch our dog Lucy, and we could not be happier. She kept the house beautifully clean, sent us photo updates throughout the stay, and made sure Lucy felt loved and comfortable. It’s such a relief to have someone you fully trust — Heather is that person. We’ll definitely be booking her again!
