About: I’ve been on Rover for about 4 years now. I take care of the dogs as if they are my own and love giving them all the attention and cuddles they want. I’m also happy to walk, feed, and provide meds for them. I’m currently unemployed, so I’ll have plenty of time to care for your pups! My availability is open all week for walks, sitting, and some play time. I ensure that all the gates are closed if the dogs will be outside and I make sure that they aren’t outside when it’s too hot for their paws.

About: For the past 5 years I've pet sat for family and friends, especially during the summer. Many have suggested I venture out to pet sit on the side because they love how I care for their pets. Pets are part of the family and I understand the importance of a trusting pet sitter. Your pets safety and well being will always be my priority! I work full time as an emergency room technician. I work 3 twelve hour shifts a week allowing me to have 4 days out of the week to help clients with any pet care needs! I have the flexibility of offering all day/night services both weekdays and weekends! My priority is the safety and well being of your pet! I thoroughly review all the information provided of your pet and communicate any questions I may have. I make an effort to know feeding schedules, potty preferences and activity schedules before meeting your pet. My goal is make sure your pet feels at home with zero disruption to their routine.

So glad we found Holly!! She is super reliable and came on time for our drop ins every day. I left super specific instructions and she followed them perfectly! Our pup is slow to warm up to new people, but she spent extra time with him to make sure he actually went outside to stretch his legs and do his business. She left very thorough post visit notes and uploaded so many great photos. I truly felt that he was in great hands while I was away. We will be using Holly’s services again!

It was lovely to meet Janelle. She was right on time for our meet and greet, stayed long enough to get all important information, asked good questions and was gentle and kind with my senior dog. I am sorry we were not able to work together this time but I do think Janelle would be a good sitter for someone else.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and started walking them when I was 10. Three years ago, I adopted my own cat, and I currently dog-sit my aunt’s dog regularly. I have experience feeding, walking, and providing companionship for pets, and I love spending time with animals to keep them happy and safe. I am available most days and can provide pet care anytime. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, I am in college part-time but am free after 4 PM. Other than that, I am available anytime and flexible with short notice requests. I care for pets in their own home by following the owner’s routine closely. I feed pets on schedule, walk dogs, clean litter boxes, and provide plenty of attention and playtime. I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away.

About: I've taken care of dogs and cats since I was 7. I love to provide videos and pics updates throughout the day for peace of mind. If you have special requests, please let me know. I'm a full time student and I have plenty of the time to play with your pets. Sitting is my way to earn college tuition fee. Thanks for your support! I walk dogs out at least three times per day and they will be gated in the living room with plenty of toys, water and food to match your speciation.

About: I’ve had a dog since I was 12. I’ve taken care of them for friends and family. I have two cats of my own. I love animals so much. I currently work full time from home so I’m available in the evenings and weekends. Usually weekends I can do anytime unless I have a prior commitment but that’s rare. My own cats stay inside I do not let them out for their safety. I do let them out for a little bit to get sun and to exercise but they’re supervised. I will keep pets inside or outside as needed only. And keep an eye on them.

This includes adhering strictly to feeding times, administering any necessary medications, and engaging in regular walks and play sessions tailored to their energy levels. My goal is to provide a secure and loving atmosphere that minimizes any stress associated with your absence, ensuring your pet feels safe, happy, and well-cared for until your return.

Mayra was great! She met with me before the engagement to meet my dogs and make sure she knew what they needed, and communicated after each walk. Best of all, both of my guys were relaxed and happy to see me without being frantic when I got back. That's the real sign of a great sitter. Will definitely use again.

About: I have a lifelong love for animals and many years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats of different sizes, breeds, and temperaments. Growing up in a family with veterinary professionals in it, I absorbed a wealth of practical knowledge. I have a strong, understanding of pet health, safety, and hazard prevention. While I’m not a vet myself, I am fully comfortable administering medications, and managing specific care routines. I pride myself on being attentive, calm, playful, and reliable. Whether your pet is a high-energy pup with zoomies or a senior cat needing a gentle touch, they will be in safe, knowledgeable hands. I am currently working from home with an incredibly open and flexible schedule, your pet will have my undivided attention. My weeks are completely free, making me a perfect fit for pets who thrive on constant companionship, need frequent potty breaks, or require strict, time-sensitive medication schedules. Because I share a vehicle with my partner, my schedule is highly optimized for House Sitting. If you are looking for a sitter who doesn't just 'check in,' but actually hangs out, plays, and keeps your pet company all day long, I’m your guy!" For me, keeping pets safe and happy comes down to two things: sticking to their routines and treating them like my own. I have a lot of experience managing different personalities, medical needs, and schedules, so I know how important consistency is for a pet's peace of mind (and yours!). I have three strictly indoor cats of my own, so I’m used to managing a multi-pet household. I keep up with multiple litter boxes daily, make sure they always have fresh water and dry food, feed them wet food twice a day, and at minimum play with them an hour a day. I regularly look after an older dog who gets two hours of walks a day to keep him active. I make sure he’s fed at 8:00 PM on the dot, and because he loves his crate, I safely tuck him in there whenever I have to step out for a bit so he feels secure. I’m completely comfortable with specialized medical care. One of my regular clients has three cats, and one requires time-sensitive medications via an inhaler and oral syringe. I also have experience with modern pet tech, like automatic litter boxes, and I follow the owner's schedule for cleaning them out and refreshing the automatic water fountain.

About: I have been caring for pets (dogs and cats) since I was 5 years old as both a pet owner and sitter. I understand how difficult it can be to be away from your pet family members and will send regular pics and updates to keep you informed about your pet's well-being while you're away. I have always been passionate about researching and finding effective natural solutions to support pet health and am happy to recommend helpful approaches for your pets specific needs at your request. I also have lots of senior dog care experience, and am comfortable administering most meds that don't involve needles. My beloved senior dog with special needs (lost use of hind legs among other things) recently passed away and I miss him but am so thankful for the time we had. I learned a lot about using natural remedies to support senior dog health from him and also learned to walk him with support for his hind end. I am currently able to provide drop in visits for pets in the Mountain Glen I community in Sylmar at this time. If you live in this community and need help caring for your family pet, please reach out so we can arrange a time to meet. Happy to help with dogs, cats and possibly other kinds of pets. I can board too, but only for pets I know and have worked with previously. I always look for and implement practices that will create a safe, peaceful, healthy and nurturing environment for pets in my home and only board pets from the same home at the same time. Boarding and day-care are only available for pets I know and have worked with previously.

About: I have been petsitting & attending to all sorts of different animals since I was about 12 years old. I have worked at various dog hotels, shelters, rescues, and ranches. My whole street relied on me, every dog would get excited just by the sight! I was in charge of; feeding, playing, grooming, cuddling, and walking them. Some people just wanted them to have comfort especially the older ones, some just needed an extra hand. I have dealt with many puppies, kitties, as well as seniors. all different sizes, all different personalities. I love pet sitting, working with animals is my passion. This is something I would love to continue, & pursue as a future. I was also a top wrangler at Baldwin Lake Stables, meaning the upkeep for the horses relied on me. The feeding, cleaning, riding, hard labor , etc. I also would take care of the bulls, goats, rabbits, etc. I am very experienced when it comes to the upkeep & love for our babies. You can trust your furbabies will be loved and cared for by me, the same you would be. experienced care for your baby, peace of mind for you. I currently work from home. so. I will always make sure your babies are getting as much time, and love as you would give them. I have a fully fenced yard, and two very friendly dogs. If needed, my pups definitely can be separated, or crated. In my client's home, I follow every rule and expectation they imply. I take extra precautions being in the client's home, as I dont want anything to happen to any of their stuff or their furbaby.

Jamie helped us out by looking after our shih tzu and cat during a week long trip. The 2x a day home drop-ins he provided went smoothly, without a hitch. We returned home to a happy dog, mail brought in and trash taken out. We'd call on Jamie again for any future travel plans.
