About: I've raised a kitten for a year with my roommates before I had to move, I adored taking care of her and miss my bestie every day. I'm currently taking evening classes and have a lot of free time on weekdays and weekends. I'm very flexible and would love to add animal time into my every day routine. I cannot board animals due to my apartment's regulations, but am happy to watch your pets in your home or take them on adventures outdoors.

“Soleil was AMAZING, and I genuinely cannot recommend her enough! She took such wonderful care of Lemon while I was away at a conference, and I never had to worry for a second. She was reliable, communicative, incredibly sweet with Lemon, and just made the whole experience so easy. She also went so far above and beyond what I asked her to do. I came home and realized she had cleaned my cat’s litter box AND taken out the trash—neither of which was remotely part of our arrangement! It was such a thoughtful surprise after a long trip, and honestly just says so much about the kind of person she is. I came home to happy pets and a home that had clearly been really cared for, which is about the best feeling you can have after traveling. Soleil is kind, thoughtful, dependable, and an absolute gem. I would hire her again in a heartbeat and would recommend her to basically anyone who will listen. Lemon and I are officially huge Soleil fans!”

About: I'm a college student at Long Beach State. I have had and taken care of dogs all my life, from puppies to older pooches. Im an animal lover and a responsible, flexible worker. Monday through Thursday I have classes from 12:30 to 6:45 with gaps Tuesdays and Thursdays from 1:45 to 4. Weekends I am usually always free. I only care for animals at client's homes unfortunattly as i'm living in dorms right now. I can pretty much do any service requested whether it's playing, walking or feeding.
“Emily is absolutely amazing, I can not thank her enough! I had her come check up on babes (cats) and feed them in the morning at 6:30 a.m. and every morning she would send me a text letting me know she was there and how they were doing along with a few photos! This was the first time, going on vacation for a longer duration and she put me at such ease. So thank you! Hopefully I can go on another vacation and have you back! She also left me a little written note, that I found when I got back! All I have to say, is if your stressing about your pet needs, stress no more and contact Emily, I assure you it will be the best decision you ever made! Thank from Alyssa, Toothless & Kimba!”

“Kennedy was such a great sitter! I needed a last minute sitter and he was able to help me check in on my 13 year old pug all week. He gave her lots of love and provided updates. As a pet sitter myself, I 100% recommend Kennedy and his services. Reliable, friendly, and a true pet lover!”

“Andrew was amazing today, it was our first time using Rover and we are definitely booking with him again. He made the experience for our girl and us very easy and stress free. 🐶”


About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and understand that every pup has their own unique personality and needs! I’ve even cared for a dog diagnosed with ADHD (yes, it’s a real thing!). I also have experience with reactive dogs and understand the importance of patience, consistency, and compassion. My goal is to make every walk a safe, positive, and enriching experience where your pup feels comfortable, loved, and cared for. I can’t wait to meet your furry best friend! 🐾❤️ I'm currently working part-time and have a flexible schedule and love making pet care a meaningful part of my day! I’m able to provide walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, and plenty of attention throughout the week. I understand how important it is for pets to have consistency and companionship, so I make it a priority to follow their normal routines and give them the same love and care they receive at home. 🐾 Whether I’m caring for a pet in my home or visiting them in their home, I focus on making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow each pet’s usual routine, including feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, playtime, and plenty of attention and affection. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and make sure to leave everything clean and just as I found it. I also understand that every pet is different—some are social and playful, while others are shy, anxious, or need a little extra patience. I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality and make sure they receive individualized care and plenty of love while their person is away.
“I can always count on Christopher! He’s great with Rosie especially since she needs some xtra love and care with post surgery and new diet! Thanks Chris!!”

“This is the first time I’ve used Rover and I will definitely use them again! I have two labs and they are my life!!! Christina came over and treated them like her own and even had them perform for some treats!!! At the meet and greet she paid attention to them and didn’t mind a lot of lab kisses! The girls loved her. Thank you Christina and I’ll definitely be using you again…”

“Julieanne was such a great fit for our cats. We were so nervous to leave them for the weekend and she was so responsive and reassuring, and they absolutely loved her. She sent pictures the whole time and it was the biggest weight off our shoulders. We will definitely be hiring her for any future babysitting!!”

About: I have had dogs my entire life - as a kid and adult. Throughout my life I have had a Lab, Dalmatian, two Boxers and a 3.5 lb. Yorkie. I love dogs at all stages from puppy to seniors. I have trained all my own dogs with lots of treats and positive praise. I make sure I understand your pets needs, motivations, behavior patterns and safety concerns before I accept any pet assignments. I promise to take care of your dog as if it were my own. I promise...they are our fur babies. I am available Monday through Friday and some weekends. I am flexible and can work most hours of the day. I am reliable -- once I commit, you can count on me showing up on time ready to go. Your dogs safety and wellness is my priority. I will discuss any triggers your dog may have beforehand. I always carry water (hydration is key) and plenty of poop bags. I will treat your dog as if they were my own.
“Bronte was great and very understanding. My cats spent most of her visits hiding because she's new and they don't know her. But Malí eventually ventured out and decided Bronte was ok. Hopefully Malí will tell Felis and he'll come out of hiding next time. Thanks, Bronte!”

About: I’ve always had pets growing up and have always pet sat for neighbors and friends. I always stick to your pets scheduled routine. I also genuinely love to spend time with pets other than mine. 😊 I’m currently a full time student at csulb studying Biochem, so I have Fridays and weekends pretty much free! I do however have some gaps in between classes that I could squeeze in pet drop ins. My pets along with clients pets usually stick to or have a schedule that I always like to follow as I find this creates the most amount of comfort for them especially while their parent is away. I love to spend time with pets especially now that I am away from my pets back home for college.
“Elise did great staying in our requested schedule and instructions for our two pets. She kept us updated with messages and pictures and her own special treats. Thank you!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was young. My baby Taelor just passed away in May 2026 from bladder cancer / complete kidney failure so I am familiar with medication and pets with special needs. I currently work full-time in the South Bay so I’m free nights & weekends! Weekends I am available all day. Weekdays I am available after 6pm. I live in a gated apartment community. There is an area to walk your fur baby. I am have a cage, a few dog beds, extra bowls, leashes, and diapers (male) for any other your pets needs.

“Yasmin is the best sitter we could have asked for. She takes such great care with every single drop in. She loves our kitty like she’s her own. I never have a single worry when Yasmin is taking care of our baby!”

“Ashley was such a wonderful help watching our four kitties! She kept us in the loop, made sure they were all taken care of, and gave them lots of love and attention. I’m definitely planning to have her come back to watch the kitties again! Plus, I really appreciated her bringing the package to our porch.”

Julieanne was such a great fit for our cats. We were so nervous to leave them for the weekend and she was so responsive and reassuring, and they absolutely loved her. She sent pictures the whole time and it was the biggest weight off our shoulders. We will definitely be hiring her for any future babysitting!!

Bronte was wonderful. She made 2 visits a day to check in on my two cats for 3 weeks when I was away. She was always on time, communicative, thoroughly dependable, professional, and great with the cats. There were a few other small unexpected issues that arose with house related stuff - entirely unrelated to the pets - that she graciously took care of for me in my absence. Highly recommended and I'd gladly request her services again!

Sydney is an absolutely wonderful sitter! She showed our dogs so much love and attention, handled their medications, especially for our finicky little Daisy, and sent us some really cute photos of 2 happy dogs every day. We especially loved that Daisy got sofa time with Sydney. Highly recommended.

Could not have asked for a better experience for my fur babies 💕 Haley was able to quickly win over both my senior dog and my 10 month old puppy who is typically very scared of strangers. She shared pictures of them cuddling during their visits together! I was able to travel worry-free knowing the girls were in good hands.
Amber was so helpful and thorough while I was away. I have a sickly boy and she made sure to ask all the right questions to support him. She was able to administer all of the medications for him. I'm very thankful for her expertise as a vet tech and her updates and notes she left me. She gave my cats love and I will definitely be using her again. <3

Michelle was absolutely incredible. Our cats fell in love with her instantly and she was great with communications and fanstic pictures that kept us informed and feeling like our boys were there along with us. I cannot reccoment Michelle enough for any of your pet watching or care needs!
Verity was amazing. She was very attentive to my very particular requests for caring for my cat Jeff while I was gone. She took lots of photos of everything she did during her visit and gave me the most thorough status report of any pet sitter I’ve ever had. She is truly the best and it’s very obvious that she understands and respects how stressful it is to be away from your pet. She even got my boy to snuggle with her. Incredible. He knew he was in good hands. Thank you so much Verity

Jasmine is such a great cat sitter and an amazing and responsible human! She sends great updates and I never have to worry that my two kitties are well cared for! She provides love, and affection and conscientious care every time! Thank you, Jasmine for treating my kitties like family and providing priceless peace of mind whenever I travel. 💕🙏🏼

Mary Beth took excellent care of my senior cat. She was patient with him and ultimately he was able to trust her. She came twice per day and followed the pet care instructions. My cat was well taken care of and he looked good. I would definitely recommend Mary Beth!
