About: ***UPDATE! Opening my profile up to new clients again after about a year, as I have some openings! Feel free to reach out with inquiries!*** I have had dogs my entire life, and what can I say — I just love them. I have cared for dogs for 20 years, and even spent a few years training dogs at the American Kennel Club (AKC). I rescued my own pup nearly 10 years ago, and rescued my cat ~5 years ago now-- and have since been equally obsessed with felines. They’re incredibly different animals, with their own way of looking at the world, both of which I respect. Over the years, I have walked and cared for many family's, friends’ and colleagues' dogs and cats of all ages, before opening my network to my neighborhood. ***Key Notes: - Currently, I am open for dog walking and dog/cat drop-ins. Please see all service options (including add-ons) in my profile and feel free to reach out with questions! - For 60-minute walks, depending on location, weather and your comfort level, I can take your pup(s) for a hike or trail-run nearby! - I have a range of experience, from energetic and exercise-craving dogs to elderly pups who require gentle care and a patient, slower speed. I love providing care for either side of the spectrum, and all in between. The bottom line is: the safety of your dog/dogs is my top priority. I know how it is. I’ve used Rover and other services for my dog and cat, and I understand how it feels to entrust another person with your fur-kiddo. I am patient and will give you whatever you need to feel comfortable with me as a caregiver — from answering questions, to a meet-and-greet (in person or on zoom), to picture updates all along the way. Every dog and cat is different, and I want to know what makes your beloved pet unique so I can provide him/her with the best care. I’m a good communicator — from medications to leash/sidewalk politics to triggers and everything in between, you can rest assured we will be on the same page. I have experience caring for all shapes and sizes: - Chihuahuas and Terriers (my dog Jack is a mix!) - Bernese Mountain Dogs - Border Collie Mixes - Shepherds - Staffy’s - Golden Retrievers - Shelties - Samoyeds - King Charles - Schnauzers - Norwegian Forest Cats - Tabbies I am happy to take on puppies/kittens and can integrate any training you might be working on with your fur-kiddo. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so I can accommodate most walks and drop-ins depending on your needs. Just shoot me a request and I’ll get back to you right away. I treat everyone’s home with the same respect I expect at my own. I also take privacy very seriously. I am always happy to do meet-and-greets at a public park (or similar) before services. Again, I get it — you're trusting someone new in your home and with your animals. I want you to feel as comfortable as possible!

“Y'all -- trust me when I say Susan is just the best and you are leaving your pets in the best of hands with her. She went above and beyond all of my expectations, leaving such detailed notes for each visit and clearly cared about the wellbeing of my three cats so very much. She was always super prompt and communicative, wanting to know if there was anything else she could do. My guys warmed up to her right away, even the more skittish ones. She's a real animal lover. I could not recommend her more and will definitely be asking her to watch my cats again in the future! Thank you, Susan!”

“This was the second time Priscilla took care of my cat, and in addition to doing a good job with feeding, playing, and litter, she really seemed to develop a bond with him. He can be bitey and I appreciated that she took this in stride. Her photos and timely updates were a joy to receive while I was away.”
“Ruby did a great job house sitting for my cat Winston. She was communicative and sent me great photos. I could tell that Winston had a good time because he was cuddling up next to her in the photos. I would hire her again.”

“Daniel was awesome! I was in desperate need of a last minute pet sitter for my two cats during the week of Christmas and they were exactly who I was looking for. Daniel came every day to feed my cats, was able to empty and reset my litter robot as needed, and sent me photo updates every day while I was away. I will definitely be reaching out again the next time I need a pet sitter while I’m out of town, and I highly recommend Daniel to anyone else looking for pet care.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - South Pasadena
Narin was amazing! She didn’t just make sure my cat was fed and watered, but also played with her, kept the litterbox spotless, and cleaned up the area. Narin also kindly kept me up to date with lots of pics. She is a seasoned pro and made this so easy. I hope to have Narin cat sit again.
Charmaine was great with our senior girlie while we were out of town! They did all of her favorite activities together like laps around the house and sitting on the catio. We got plenty of pictures to make us miss her a little less until we got back. We’ll definitely be booking with Charmaine again!
I can’t recommend Heidi enough! She was able to accommodate my very last minute request and was absolutely wonderful with my kitty. I was able to feel at ease while I was away. It was such a relief knowing my cats were in such good hands and getting lots of love and attention. I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing cat sitter! 😊🐾
This was our second time booking Sydney, and I cannot recommend her highly enough! She is excellent with our two cats and so attentive to their different needs and personalities. She was also great with giving medication! Her pictures and reports on her visits were so good and always a delight to receive.
Skylah is absolutely amazing! She has taken care of my two cats for me many times now, and she is always someone I know I can count on!! She communicates so well, keeps me updated, and I always feel at ease knowing my cats are being fed, cared for, and getting some love and attention while I’m away. I’m so grateful to have found someone so reliable and caring! I would absolutely recommend her!
Ayman was a great sitter and went above and beyond to make sure our cats were taken care of while we were out of town. Since our cats are Persians, then tend to have a lot of sinus issues. Every day she made sure to clean their faces and nose and gave them each a brushing! She also scanned the house for any messes, cleaned them up, and vacuumed pet hair ! Could t recommend her more.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
