“Lizette accepted our invitation to sit at the last minute and she flexibly performed the job despite taking care of cat/kittens for another client. She was affectionate and caring with our pups, and communicated throughout the sit via Rover chat. She included videos and photos of our dogs on walks and left our home in the same state that she found it. The only improvement feedback we had for her was to ensure that she gives our dogs all the walks that we agreed they needed. We are thankful to have found her available for the job.”
“Daylin was so great watching Oliver for the night. She was super attentive and caring. She made Oliver feel comfortable and kept me updated throughout her stay. I highly recommend Daylin and would definitely rebook!”
“Anna took great care of our kitties on our recent trip. Our kitties were comfortable and happy, and Anna provided lots of updates and photos for us. We’ll definitely be booking her again for future cat sitting needs”
“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 :)”
“Jehiny was wonderful! She took care of my English bulldog while I was away for the weekend and sent lots of pictures and updates. The house was so clean it looked untouched when I got back! Will definitely have Jehiny back again!”
“We’d rebook Rachel again without hesitation. She sent daily photo updates without us asking, followed every instruction, including nutritional notes, and left our home spotless. From the start, her calm demeanor put us at ease. Rachel was the perfect balance of professional and caring, and our energetic pup and fickle cat took to her well. We could tell our dog was a happy camper from all the play he got, and our cat seemed to take a liking to her warm, introverted energy. Rachel's vibe truly set our minds at ease; she was punctual, and her communication was fantastic, making us feel like we were still there with our babies just a text away. We came home to happy pets, a tidy house, watered plants, and a detailed note about their week. If you need someone reliable who actually listens to your pet’s needs, Rachel’s your person.”
“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. :)”
“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.”
“We had Zakiya house sit our newly adopted shelter dog for three days while we were gone on a weekend trip. She was INCREDIBLE. She followed our dog's medication schedule and sent us pictures of our sweet girl every few hours. She took detailed notes on our dog's activities with timestamps, and she left a general behavior report at the end. The house was in perfect condition when we got back. She is incredibly organized. We will be repeat clients!”
About: Hello! I recently graduated from USC, but my deep love for animals comes from my roots back in North Carolina. I grew up surrounded by our family's two dogs and two cats (Snickerdoodle, Prince Louis, Georgia, and Loki), spent countless hours on farms, and even rode horses professionally for a couple of years! Working with horses taught me patience, adaptability, and how to maintain a calm, grounded energy, skills that translate perfectly to pet care, whether I'm comforting a shy cat or handling a strong, energetic dog (I also recently helped rescue a German Shepherd!). What truly sets me apart as a sitter right now is the undivided attention I can offer. Because I don't currently have any pets of my own here in Los Angeles, my space is a quiet, stress-free haven where your furry best friend gets to be the absolute center of attention. I have hands-on experience with dog walking, day-sitting, and extended care, including recently boarding a friend’s dog for two weeks while at school. Whether your pet needs a cozy couch to snuggle on, a patient friend to help them feel safe, or a secure ride in my Crosstrek for a local adventure, I promise to love and care for them exactly like they are my own family! As a recent graduate enjoying my last open summer, I currently have a tremendous amount of free time! Because I am primarily taking on flexible, gig-based work right now, my schedule is incredibly adaptable to whatever your pet needs. I also have my own car, which makes incorporating pet care into my routine incredibly seamless. As I continue exploring and making Los Angeles my permanent home, I absolutely love loading up my Crosstrek and taking pets on safe, local adventures. Whether your dog is the type who loves discovering new parks and trails with an eager co-pilot, or your pet just needs a reliable sitter with transportation for midday drop-ins and cuddles, I can easily build my day around them. Pet care isn't something I have to squeeze into a busy workday, right now, it gets my full attention! Whether I am hosting your best friend or staying at your place, my absolute priority is maintaining your pet's normal routine so they feel safe, secure, and loved. In my home: Because my space is currently pet-free, your dog or cat will enjoy a calm, quiet environment where they get to be the absolute center of attention. I keep a tidy, hazard-free apartment with plenty of comfortable spots for cozy naps. With my highly flexible summer schedule, they won’t be left alone for long stretches. Depending on their energy levels, we can spend the day relaxing inside, or I can safely load them up in my Crosstrek for a trip to a local park if they love car rides and exploring! In your home: I treat my clients' spaces with the utmost respect and pride myself on leaving your home exactly as I found it. I know that having a new person in the house can be an adjustment for some animals, so I lean on my equestrian background to bring a quiet, grounded energy that helps them relax on their own terms. I am meticulous about following your specific instructions for feeding, medications, and house boundaries. No matter where I am caring for your pet, I will make sure they get plenty of affection, dedicated playtime, and consistent photo updates so you have total peace of mind while you are away.
“Nikki is amazing! Professional, experienced, kind, communicative, and most importantly, excellent with our dog. She watched our dog in our home and made sure he was well taken care of while we were away. I'd highly recommend her services!”
About: Personally I have not taken care of any dogs other than my own. My dog mocha has been with me for 7 years and I know the importance of giving your dog the time and attention it may need like going on walks, feeding, bathing, and cuddles. I have a part time job and I’m a full time student however I am available all Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, after 6pm. On the weekends, Tuesday and Thursday I am available all day to dog sit. My dog mocha suffers from serve anxiety. I support her by using her anxiety vest or medicating her with cbd. Additionally, due to her serve anxiety she cannot go to the groomers therefore I groom her myself in my backyard. I plan to use this attention and patience with other dogs as they also need care and affection.
“Overall, I was very impressed with Stephanie's dedication and the genuine bond she formed with my dog. It's comforting to know she's in such capable and caring hands. Thank you, Stephanie, for providing excellent care! I will definitely be reaching out to you the next time I need someone to look after my furry friend.”
“Lillian is terrific. On time, thoughtful and diligent. She is flexible as well, and was able to extend her time with us no problem. And the doggies loved her! Highly recommend!”
“I appreciate Jasper being able to house-sit with my kitties. They sent multiple pictures which I really appreciated. I had a special situation with cats that had to be kept separated with a feeding schedule. Jasper was very accommodating and friendly. When I forgot to put out wet cat food for my one cats, they found the correct brand and gave them the mentioned amount and stored the rest in the fridge. I am so grateful they were able to assist with my mistake. I will use them again for sure.”
“Colette was GREAT with our dogs and house!! She sent lots of cute pics and had great communication ❤️ Our dogs were very well taken care of and spoiled by her!! We will definitely use her services again!!”

Anna is very kind, loving, sweet and overall the best pet sitter you can ask for. She really cares for your pets with love. I had to leave her with two sick and one wild cat, and they all adored her and she communicated their conditions every now and then and able to take her to the vet before the condition got worse. She left the house clean and she is definitely coming back to my house and to my pets anytime! I highly recommend Anna but also selfishly I dont want her to get too busy and not have time for my cats next time! 😭 We just love her too much!
Charlotte was so accommodating to our schedule and gave our new kitten and senior dog a lot of love! It was so nice to enjoy our vacation and know that they were being given so much love and attention. Our flight home was delayed a few times and Charlotte was able to stay later than anticipated to look after our babies. We appreciate her so much!!
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!
