“Alexis & Melisa were absolutely wonderful pet sitters for our elderly, blind 17-year-old Shih Tzu. They administered her daily medication and made sure she was fed, all while providing daily updates that put our minds at ease. They treated her like their own, giving her their undivided attention since she was the only pet they were caring for. It is clear they genuinely love animals. We are so grateful for their dedicated and personalized care. We would highly recommend Alexis & Melissa for anyone seeking compassionate and dedicated pet care!”


“Kunda had so much fun with Laura and Brian and the other dogs at their house!! Laura is a very, very sweet woman who was very flexible and accommodating with our pick-up time, saying it was fine to pick him up late but then quickly adjusting / having him ready when we ended up coming back early and picking him up a little before 9pm. Definitely going to have Kunda spend time with them again when I'm in the area!!”


“Armando was truly the most patient, kind and extremely understanding with our booking changes Our little chiuchi came home so happy, relaxed we can definitely tell he was well taken care of as if we had left him with family .We have only used a sitter 3 times and always worried how things will go Armando was a great choice we greatly appreciated his care for Chuchi I recommend Armando 100% and will definitely continue to reach out to him again.”


“Janelle was great! She was able to help us out with less than a weeks notice for weekend daycare. She was super communicative and sent updates and photos. Very flexible and kind. Our dog came home happy and ready to sleep so I know she had a wonderful day with a good amount of activity. Overall very easy experience and felt our dog was well cared for!”



“Bernadette took great care of Wensley. He seemed really content when I picked him up, and I appreciated her flexibility as far as drop off time. She's a great communicator and kept me posted with pictures. I will definitely be using Bernadette again for Wensley's future doggy daycare needs. Also, he loved the extra little doggy treats Bernadette had made. Such a great little surprise.”


“Vivian was really great with our pup. She’s responsive and provides those updates that always put a smile on our face throughout the day. Our pup seemed to be comfortable there and looked like having fun too! Would definitely request for her services again.?”



“My pup is always happy and tired when she comes home from Lillybeth’s home! I am always comfortable knowing that my girl is being taken care of and loved. Will continue to trust Lillybeth with my dog!”


“I found Max & Diana when I was looking for a daycare that opened early. I work long hours (12 hr days) and my pup does not do well alone for that long. Theo absolutely loved spending time with them and I always knew he was safe and cared for while he was with Max. I wish Theo could continue going to this daycare but my job location changed. If I’m in the area again, Theo will be going back to visit Max and his friends.”


“We were visiting LA and required a last minute sitter due to the hot weather. Edwin and his family were quick to respond and accepted Java last minute! Edwin and his family were so great! We got the updates that we wanted throughout the day and Java looked like she was having fun. Java was spoiled during her stay and even received some homemade dinner. We would definitely recommend you leave your pet with them and we would if we are back in the area.”


“The best experience I’ve ever had with the day care for my dog. The communication was top notch. They called me to make sure they know all the preferences of my dog to make sure he will tell comfortable. I would definitely be back and highly recommend it to everyone. Amazing couple and best care ever!”


“Erinn, thank you for loving my Slinky and taking care of him like one of your own 💕 I appreciate you taking the time to walk him, feed him, and give me updates/ sharing pictures with me! I’m so glad we found you💕”


“Natalie is wonderful! From the moment I messaged her a booking request, I could tell she would be a great choice. She reached out to ask some thorough questions so she would know how to best care for my little pup. Upon arrival, she was already waiting outside, so it was easy to find her. She provided clear pictures and updates throughout the day, and I appreciate that she made sure my little guy ate (sometimes he’s not fed with other sitters, since he just wants to play). Upon pick-up, she was already waiting with him and all his items, and afterwards, she provided a very clear report. I will definitely be using her again!”


About: Animals have always been a passion of mine. If I could own/adopt/foster every dog in the world, I would! Since unfortunately that cannot be reality, I’m doing what comes a close second…being surrounded by pets & providing a paw-sitive experience for pets in the area! I dedicate this work to my late childhood dog, Barley. 15 years was not enough. I have experience with senior pets. I am patient & trustworthy. Looking forward to the opportunity! I work from home Monday - Friday but am available after 5pm. Weekends are pretty free. I am available any time & am flexible with the schedule. I have a big backyard that pets are free to roam under supervision. During the summer time, play time outside is very limited. Water is always readily available. I have a 5 year old dog of my own who is energetic & loves to play. Pets can easily be crated if needed/preferred.

About: We are a young couple with collectively around 18 years of experience taking care of our own dogs growing up, dogsitting for friends/family, and caring for our own dog. We’ve cared for dogs ranging from puppies to adults. We work from home and are readily available to attend to the needs of your pup at any time! We both work from home and have very flexible schedules! We are open to watching your pup on the weekdays and weekends as long as we have advanced notice. We can shape our schedule around your feeding, sleeping, bathroom, exercise needs. We will only take one client at a time to ensure that we give your loved ones the best attention! Our house has a fenced, spacious yard for your pup to run around in. We have a doggy door that your pup can use if independent (can also teach how to use the doggy door). We have our own friendly pup who will LOVE to play with yours and will share his toys! We can easily crate your pup or separate in the kitchen (with a pet friendly gate) if needed, but they are free to roam our home and get comfortable anywhere in our home. There are many dog beds available as well. Our neighborhood is safe and dog-friendly! We are available for meet and greets to ensure you feel comfortable with the stay here!

About: I’ve had several dogs throughout my life and will probably be getting another one or two within the next year. My main option on here is dog boarding but, depending on the dog boarding schedule, I or somebody else on my team could also be open to do drop ins, house sitting, or walks, especially for those who have already used our boarding services. Please ask about these additional services after a confirmed boarding session. I’m in the middle of taking a few years off from teaching high school because A) Who couldn’t use a break from that? and B) I am focusing on building up a short-term rental business (Airbnb mostly). As an Airbnb host I spend a lot of time at home and have found that one of my favorite things to do is play with dogs in the yard (especially, when there’s more than one of them here at the same time!) and take them on trips to the park. I love dogs and am very reliable, trustworthy, and flexible. I live in a house with a fenced yard and all of the instructions you leave will be followed to keep your little buddy happy & safe! I am home most of the day and when I do leave it's usually only for an hour or two at a time. Most of what I do at home (working on a computer, household chores, yard work) I do in the presence of whatever dogs happen to be staying at that time. One limitation that I do try to stick to is to avoid scheduling drop-offs or pickups on Sundays before 10:00 am. Unfortunately, Rover doesn't give me the option to block off those times without blocking out the entire day so adding this note here is the only way to give you a heads up (hopefully, you read this before booking). I have a fenced yard and usually board 2 or 3 dogs at a time so that they have playmates. If ever I leave the house, dogs are left inside. Dogs that stay here must be up to date on shots as well as on a flea-prevention medication.

About: My honesty, care, and reliability will put your worries at ease. I know how hard it can be to place your pet in another person’s care. I am happy to help and keep these babies safe while you are away Note: open to caring for large dogs on a case by case basis. My business allows me time and flexibility to take walk breaks and work from home. I would love to get a dog or cat again once I settle down in a more comfortable and larger space. In the meantime, I’d like to spend time with pets and help other pet owners at the same time. Safety for your pet will be highly considered and will follow all instructions to gain trust and care of your pet and space when applicable


“Linda took excellent care of my little puppy! I intend to be one of her regular clients! She lavish es all doggies in her care with love and attention like no one else! I am very happy I found her. She have me updates and lets you know how your doggie is doing. She has been a great assistance to me and I completely trust her to care for my little dog! Thank you, LINDA for all the love and care you gave my puppy and fir the peace of mind you gave me so that I didn’t have to leave her alone!”

About: Hello! My name is Jen, and I share this Rover account with my partner, Jamie. He also has his own Rover account if you’d like to check his references. We work together on all Rover jobs, so if you book with us, both of us will attend the meet and greet. We believe having both of us present is beneficial, especially if your pet needs round-the-clock care. I hold a degree in Exotic Animal Training and Management and have experience as an animal trainer. Previously, I worked at the Animal Actors show at Universal Studios, where I cared for over 40 dogs of various breeds and sizes, as well as many cats. I also have experience working in vet clinics and am skilled in administering medication. My true passion lies in wildlife conservation, and I recently completed a master's degree in Conservation Wildlife at Miami University. Currently, I work at the Los Angeles Zoo, with the ultimate goal of contributing to the well-being of animals worldwide. Note: Our pricing is negotiable. If you have a pet that is particularly easy to care for, or if your pet has special needs, we can discuss the details and adjust the pricing accordingly. Feel free to reach out so we can find a solution that works for both you and your pet. We are looking forward to the opportunity to meet and care for your pet! I work full time S-Wed. Jamie works gigs in the evenings or nighttime as needed. We live together in a house with a yard if you do decide to do a boarding with us. If you decide to do a sitting we both stay at the house. He is also on Rover, please ask for a link to his profile if interested. We have a large house with fenced yard. I can crate the dogs if that is something that is preferred, and I am a professional animal trainer. Someone will be with your pet 24/7. We have a dog small/medium size dog in the house named Emmy, as well as a small dog named Ramon. Therefore for boardings your dogs must get along with others.

About: I'm a cat and dog owner myself, my fur baby is 7 years old. I rescued him from the pound when he was 3 months old (it was love at first sight for me) and a 3-year-old lab/retriever. I rescued him, and he's amazing. I will take care of your fur baby like it's mine. I work remotely, so I am home all day and night. I only step out too go to the gym, and to take and pick up my daughter from school. I have a big house, so your pet will have plenty of space to run around in and friendly pets to play with and have fun.

Rachel & Preston L.
“Rachel is a wonderful dog mama to her pup, Winston, and also treats other dogs with compassion, patience and lots of love! She has watched our two dogs, Willow and Koa, a couple of times and is attentive to their needs and spends a lot of time with them to ensure that they are cared for. Willow and Koa are a handful, but Rachel took such wonderful care of them! We shared their general schedule and feeding requirements with her and she made sure they were walked, fed, and also engaged the entire time they were with her. We felt very comfortable while we were away (for about 10 days) knowing that they were in good hands the entire time. We also got daily updates that showed how much fun and snuggles they were getting :)”


Robert T.
“I used to have a small West Highland White Terrier named Horchata while I rented a room in one of Robert’s properties a few years ago and he was always happy to take care of her while I was gone. Robert knew how important it was to me to walk her daily and dedicate time for play. He saw that Horchata got her exercise and made sure she felt loved by playing ball with her while I was out of town. At one point, I worked nights and when Horchata had an infection, he offered to check on her during her sleep while she was ill. Robert made me feel my doggy was in safe and loving hands and I would definitely recommend him for dog sitting!”

“Nancy is the best!! She walked my little Boots 3x a week and was so loving and gentle, especially toward the end of his days.

I have seen her interact with many different animals and she is always very loving and there is a clear comfort on the side of the animals and pets she cares for as well. Her knowledge and experience with animals shows through in every interaction she has. It is clear from the calm and happy demeanor of the animals she tends to that she has a strong respect for animals and is a very skilled caregiver.”
