“She was fabulous. Very sweet and took great care of our little puppy. Even right after his neuter surgery. She took photos and videos throughout the night. Very polite.”
“Kim was great with Sadie! She played with her and took her on a walk. Sadie is a very high energy dog. Kim did a good job keeping her busy. Sadie really enjoyed spending time with Kim. We will definitely contact her again.”
“Daniela was great with our puppy and our senior dog as well as multiple cats and birds when she house sat for us. We got lots of pictures and updates and could see the progress she was making in teaching the puppy to heel on walks. She went above and beyond to keep things organized and clean, which is not easy in our chaotic household. She even got our most timid cat to come out of hiding for treats. We’ll be booking Daniela for our next trip if at all possible.”
“Taylor was really patient with Luna, and built a relationship with her overtime. We are so grateful to have found Taylor and recommend her to others. She is a welcome addition to the pack! 🐾”
About: I have years of experience taking care of dogs, cats, and even snakes and lizards. I can also take care of bigger animals between 50-150 lbs. My first goal is always to make the animal feel comfortable and calm as per my client’s direct instructions. I prioritize courteousness, professionalism, and respect for my clients directions at all times. As well, I always try to show up on time and ready to work towards whatever is needed. My hours are flexible, and I’m only one phone call/text message away at all times. I have very flexible hours and can be available whenever you need me to be. Monday through Friday and weekends, I can make whatever you need work. I am always very calm and respectful when I first meet any animal, making sure that they understand that I am a friend and not someone to fear. Before moving into their space, I always make sure that they’re comfortable and feeling well taken care of by the standards of my client’s instructions.
“We hired Arianna to watch our 2 kitties while we were on vacation and they immediately loved her. She sent a bunch of pictures and updates and was super communicative. We came home to a cute note, very happy kitties and a clean house. We will definitely be hiring her again when we go on our next vacation.”
“Jeremy was great with our boys! They can be quite the handful but we came home to two happy and tired pups! He communicated well thru the whole stay and sent plenty of pictures!! We already have our next house sit with him scheduled 😊”
About: Growing up in a series of farm towns means I’ve been caring for animals my entire life. From very big to very small: dogs, rabbits and guinea pigs, lizards, and even more barn cats than you could imagine! I’ve been lucky enough to spend my life loving just about any creature, furred, scaled and feathered. These days, I mostly care for house cats, good dogs, and generally very spoiled city pets, including extended stays of up to a month. I happily contribute to the spoiling with plenty of walks, playtime, and all the treats allowed. I’m calm, attentive, and focused on making sure every pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for. Whether your pet is independent and just needs a reliable human for daily routines, or needs lots of hands-on TLC, I’ve got you! 🐾🥰 I’m currently working remotely- so caring for your pet(s) and/or your home will be the groundwork for my daily routine. I’m able to spend as much or as little time with them as you need. The most important thing to me is maintaining your pet’s routine and comfort in their own space. I understand that I’m the guest in their home, so I adjust to their needs. Whether that means offering attention, playtime, and long walks, or giving space and providing a calm, quiet presence, depending on their personality and cues, and/or any instructions I’m given.
“Kim was super nice, friendly and professional and she was great with Nala! Made sure to send me pics and keep me updating while I was gone and Nala seemed really happy and taken care of. I would definitely work with her again! 🫶🏼”
“Erika was wonderful! She took such good care of my girl (Rosie - a golden doodle)...took her on walks, watched movies with her (my dog loves to cuddle and watch tv), played with her and more. Erika stayed at my house for five days while we were away on vacation and kept it clean and nice - even washed sheets and towels (something extra!). Erika is responsible and dependable and am booking her for a lot more assignments! Thank you, Erika!”
“Brittany was timely, caring and very communicative, all the three things I consider very important in dog sitting or house sitting. My pup had a stomach issue during the stay and Brittany take great care of her. I was very satisfied with her service and definitely recommend to others.”
About: My specialty is working with shy dogs who need a little extra patience and understanding. I genuinely love caring for pets and take pride in creating a calm, trusting bond with every animal I meet. I’m trained in pet first aid and CPR and have owned and operated my own licensed, insured pet care business serving Tarzana and Encino since 2017. Clients describe me as reliable, accommodating, and kind — the kind of walker their dogs recognize the second I pull up. Whether you need regular walks, vacation visits, or gentle senior care, your pets will always be treated like family Overnight Pet sitting Policy: my overnight pet sitting policy includes staying with your pet overnight, ie 8 pm- 6 am if you need it, walking dogs before bed and in the morning, feeding them and giving them lots of snuggles. It includes a midday walk. It does not include staying with them all day during the day. I have regular dog walks that I do during the day and pets at home that I need to visit and feed. Unfortunately, I am not available for 24/7 visits. I walk dogs and do pet visits full-time. This is what I I do. I take the care and safety of your pets very seriously. Your pet's safety and health is my number one priority. I am respectful of your home and am comfortable with security cameras and alarm systems to keep your home safe and secure.
“Jules was WONDERFUL with my dog Nahla. I was extremely nervous to leave her alone for the first time with someone who wasn't family, but Jules gave me peace of mind, was super communicative, and always kept me updated on what they were up to and how she was doing. Nahla is also a reactive dog that gets extremely agitated around other dogs. Jules was understanding and made sure to work with me on things she can/can't do to avoid any issues. She was able to handle her and even take her out on the town to get some socializing in! 1000/10 recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and involved sitter.”
“Julia is very professional and communicates well. She guided me through the process as it was my first time hiring a pet sitter and made me feel at ease. I recently adopted my dog and she suffers from separation anxiety. Julia helped to calm her down when I left and cared for her needs. My dog adores her already! I feel very fortunate to have someone I can trust with my dog. Thank you so much for your help, Julia!”
“Alondra took a good care of my dog for 3 days that I was out of town. It was my first time leaving my dog with someone other than family and she loved Alondra . To me it was very important that my dog feels safe and not anxious when I’m out for few days and I’m glad I found Alondra that could stay with TaTa at my place so TaTa felt so relaxed. 🐶🙏🏻😍”
“Helen was truly excellent. My cat immediately liked her and I know he enjoyed his time with her because she sent me so many (welcome) videos and pictures. She updated me not only whenever she was coming and going but when and how much he was eating so there is no doubt in my mind that she spent a great deal of time at my house with my cat despite having her own family, and that she spent lots of loving time with my fur baby. She did the laundry, replaced the tissues and detergent, which I didn’t even request, and she left the place cleaner than when I left. I feel much better planning trips knowing that I now have more than one dependable pet sitter. Highly recommend.”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have cared for them at every age from playful puppies to gentle seniors. I also babysit my sister’s dogs regularly, so I’m used to handling different personalities and energy levels. I’m patient, reliable, and treat every dog like my own. Whether it’s a long walk, playtime, or just extra cuddles, I make sure each pet feels loved and safe. Being in nursing school means lots of studying so dog walking is my favorite way to take a break, get outdoors, and enjoy some puppy love! I have plenty of availability and flexibility to give your dog the walks and care they need. I make sure any dog in my home feels safe and cared for. I always supervise playtime, use secure gates and doors, and make sure they have a comfortable space to relax. This attention to safety carries over to every dog I walk.

Gabriella was absolutely amazing at taking care of my Amstaff. I was away for the holidays for a couple of weeks, and very anxious, but Gabriella helped to ease that worry. She gave me daily updates, followed instructions, and played with Saint (my dog) every night! I will definitely be hiring her again in the future
Ariana was absolutely wonderful. She took great care of our cat Freddy, our home, and our garden, and kept us updated with photos and messages throughout our trip. It was such a relief knowing Freddy was in such good hands. I would hands down hire her again for future trips.
Stephanie was very communicative with us and so good with both our doggo and house over the new year holiday. We came back to a clean house that smelled wonderful with everything as we had left it, not to mention a lot of excited love from our dog. Would absolutely book her again in the future.
Erika is excellent and detail-oriented. She took notes on each of our cats, not just on their needs, but also on their personalities and habits. Erika sent us daily updates and pictures of our darling fur babies. Next time we go on vacation, we are booking Erika. You should too!
Adilene was absolutely amazing - tons of pics, very communicative, and able to give my senior pup her medicine. When I had travel issues with cancelled flights, she was so kind and helpful in extending to continue care for another day while I sorted out getting home. Easily one of the best sitters I've ever booked through Rover, would highly recommend!
Booked for some house sitting for my cat Suki, who tends to be very anxious and shy. My apartment was honestly left in better condition than I had originally left it (lol), updates were frequent and with very high responsiveness, which was very appreciated. I would & will probably book again and really appreciate all the help while I went on my mini-vacation! Suki was well taken care of and was exactly as comfortable/loved as could be
Mary Kate was great! Super sweet during the meet and greet, my dogs loved her then and even more so when she played with them while we were gone. My husband and I knew they were in good hands, especially with the daily picture updates. I would absolutely book with Mary Kate again!

I was extremely nervous to leave her alone for the first time with someone who wasn't family, but Jules gave me peace of mind, was super communicative, and always kept me updated on what they were up to and how she was doing.

Antonia deserves 10 stars! She is lovely,kind, competent, and clearly loves animals. This was my first time having a petsitter in my home to watch my two little dogs and I must say I was a bit nervous. But Antonia washed away all of my doubts. For those of you who will be first-time petsitter users (and future users as well) Antonia is the way to go. Shes really a gift. Took excellent care of my pups and fed and walked them exactly as directed, gave them treats. She let them sleep in the bed with her. My pups fell in love with her. And she left my home immaculate! Also - she sent frequent videos of the pups so I could see how they were doing. I highly recommend Antonia to sit for your pets. They will be in great hands. I’m looking forward to working with her again in the near future. So glad I found her. Thank you, Antonia!!!
Samantha was great with Pringle. She was attentive to Pringle’s needs and I appreciated that she took the time to share her own experiences/knowledge when it comes to dog training. I felt very comfortable leaving Pringle in her care and would definitely book with Samantha again.
We are so happy we found Brooke! She took fantastic care of our dogs and cats, while we were away. We really appreciated the daily photo updates and quick responses to our messages. When we got home, our pets were calm and happy, which tells us they had a great time and their routine was followed perfectly. We will definitely be booking again!"
