House Sitting in Sylmar, Los Angeles, CA

“Kim was amazing! I’m a first time dog mom and was so nervous. She did great meeting Jake and really knew the best way to introduce herself to him! She gave updates and photos which helped ease my nerves. Highly highly recommend her to everyone and anyone!”

“Came in clutch last minute and was so patient with the fact that I couldn’t give her a full break down of my dogs schedule because of how fast paced the day was. Was so good at just taking charge and taking care of my baby. I couldn’t recommend her more.”

“Yoo Jee is the best! She took excellent care of our pets and home! One of our bathrooms flooded unfortunately while we were gone and she took care of everything. We will definitely hire her again.”

About: Hi there! You can call me Joy :) when I care for your pet I will send you updates with pictures and can communicate every good, not so good, and/or boring detail with you! I do not hesitate to ask for clarification on anything when it comes to the needs of you and your pet. I am also happy to help you with any other house chores while you are away (collecting mail, watering plants, etc). I find it important to set up a meet and greet with you and your pet if possible. When I care for your pet I understand that I am in the space they call home. Building trust with you and your pet is an important first step for me to provide the best services for your needs. In 2018 I adopted a dog of my own and she is my world! I adopted my dog through Best Friends Animal Shelter and she came with little to no background information. She was fearful and showed signs of a traumatized past. I had to train a puppy during the “T-Rex” phase (RIP many articles of clothing and furniture legs” and learned that several rounds of fetch will only slow a working dog for about 20 min before they’re ready to go again. The biggest skill I learned when adopting my dog was handling her reactivity. She was the sweetest girl at home, mostly shy in the beginning and hesitant to come out of her shell. So it was a huge shock when taking her out on her first few walks to see her lunge and pull with all her might towards everything and everyone that passed by. Her size and breed made it especially stressful and embarrassing and there were many days where I felt like I couldn’t handle it. With a lot of patience and treats and maybe also some crying Kona came out of her first year at home a thriving happy girl! Bringing her home was one of the most challenging experiences of my life but watching her grow and blossom into the silly, loving pup she is has been the greatest reward. I have a set schedule at my part time job and can establish morning/afternoon/night schedules around it. I am also in the process of applying for grad school and would love to prioritize pet care as my main job if possible, I am eager to build a clientele! As the owner of a reactive dog I am comfortable reading behavioral cues that may indicate if your pet is in need of extra support, attention, or space.

“Alyssa was very nice and professional. Treated my old man pup with kindness. Thank you!!”

“Julian was wonderful, and we were very happy to have him stay at our place for the day and take charge of keeping our dogs safe and occupied. We found him to be very personable and reliable, and we will definitely be calling on him again. Thank you, Julian!”

“Carly was absolutely incredible with our two pups. She went above and beyond and we’ve had a few amazing Rovers sitters. You are in absolutely amazing hands with her if you choose to leave your pups in her care!”

“Lisa was just what we needed for our pups. She was always on time, had clear communication and made sure our pups were fed, did their potty breaks, played fetch and got lots of love. She sent us lots of cute photos, too. Definitely recommend working with her if you want a reliable pet sitter.”

“We went out of the country for 10 days and Jessica was amazing. Lots of updates and came home to a spotless house/ clean sheets- which was amazing after such a long travel day. Highly recommend.”

Emilee M.

“Janelle was perfect for a last minute busy day! Received lots of pictures and updates :)”

Danielle P.

“Michelle was great! It was my first time with Rover, and she was patient and helped me with errors I had made. She also went above and beyond. I was booking last minute, and she went out of her way to do a meet and greet before the dog sitting date. She also asked to take the dog on a short walk, even though she didn’t have to. Would definitely book again with her.”

“Amanda was an absolute lifesaver during our family vacation! She proved to be the perfect fit for taking care of our beloved pets: two dogs, a cat, and a turtle. Our furry (and shelled) friends have a well-established routine, which Amanda seamlessly maintained throughout our absence. Not only did Amanda excel in pet care, but she also went above and beyond by tending to our plants and garden. Her warm and welcoming demeanor, coupled with her attentiveness to our pets' needs, was truly remarkable. It was evident that our animals quickly formed a bond with her, which put our minds at ease. Her dedication to both our pets and our property provided us with invaluable peace of mind throughout our trip. I wholeheartedly recommend Amanda to anyone in need of a reliable and compassionate pet and house sitter. Her exceptional service allowed us to enjoy our vacation fully, knowing that our home and pets were in the most capable hands.”

About: I grew up around animals my whole life, especially dogs as my family had 3 dogs for a majority of my teen years. I have walked them, taken them to the vet, fed them, and even have watched them over many days on my own. I feel like my combination of passion for animals and experience around them makes me a great option to watch your pups! I have a very open schedule with my full time job that will allow me to be a great person to choose. I work from home 4 of the 5 days of the week and my job gives me the ability to be flexible when I work. So there aren’t many times I won’t be available! When boarding a dog I will make sure to have time with the dog outside of my apartment to let them enjoy the outside and get the much needed time out there. This will include walks and maybe taking to a dog park depending on the dog. My apartment has enough room for the dog to be comfortable and even be able to play around inside. I also have a patio if they like to sit and hang out outside, but of course that will not be there only time outside!

About: I’ve fostered all kinds of animals of all ages. I’ve bottled fed both puppies and kittens. I am a foster failure I’ve adopted my last 3 fosters. I love animals they’re the best companions. I am currently a stay at home mom, so I have plenty of time to care and play with your pets. I can board any day any time. I have a gated yard, and friendly dogs and cats who could keep your pet company. I can also crate your pet if that is your preference.

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.
