“Wonderful dog loving family that took excellent care of my 2 dogs (Shiba and Cavalier King Charles) while I was away for 2 weeks. The dogs felt right at home, received lots of affection, and I received pics throughout their stay. Will definitely leave my dogs in their care again!”
“Janice was amazing taking care of Poro! She has such calming energy and my velcro child took a liking to her and her family immediately. That alone put my heart at ease and would highly recommend her to anyone.”
“I would definitely recommend Angelica, took amazing care of my dog! She is easy to communicate with, making drop off/pick up a breeze! I will for sure use her again in the future!”
“Thank you for taking care of Code once again! We are so thankful for Sherice, Kelly and family for looking after Code on short notice. He was so happy and truly enjoyed the company and warmth of their home. We look forward to having him visit again soon.”
“Ana and Mitchell and their dog Ellie were wonderful sitters for our 5 month old Labradoodle puppy. I am very glad to have found them. Their fenced in backyard and house are set up for entertaining new dogs with comfort and safety. They were able to get our puppy to eat his meals even though he's teething and sometimes unmotivated. He loved playing with Ellie and he was so relaxed after I picked him up because he had a great night with Ana & Mitchell.”
“I can’t say enough wonderful things about the incredible care my senior dog received from Rika! At 16 years old, blind, deaf, and struggling with mobility and severe nighttime anxiety, my dog needed a lot of special attention. Rika was a total angel, truly heaven-sent, and made my dog feel comfortable and safe throughout my chaotic move. Her compassion and dedication were extraordinary. She adapted to my dog’s routine seamlessly, providing constant updates with photos and videos that put my mind at ease. Knowing my dog was in such caring and capable hands was a huge relief. I highly recommend Rika to anyone who wants their pet to be treated like family with the utmost love and care!”
“My husband and I booked a pet friendly hotel in Pasadena and planned on going to the 626 night market last weekend. At the time of booking, we didn't realize pets weren't allowed to be left unattended at the hotel at any time. Desperate to figure out where to leave my 10 month old pup Emma for a couple of hours, I learned about Rover and (around 9:30pm) began to message everyone and anyone I could in hopes of finding a last minute pet sitter. Angelica was quick to respond and very eager to help me with my situation. Upon dropping my pup off, her personality was very welcoming and her sons also looked very excited to spend time with my Emma. Although my pick up time was anticipated to be pretty late (around midnight or 1am!), she didn't seemed bothered by it at all. She truly is a pet lover! This review just isn't enough to show my appreciation for people like Angelica. I highly recommend using her (and her family) for your dog needs!”
“Cathy and Andres are amazing! Much appreciation for the boarding and care for Winnie while I was away on vacation, grateful they were able to accommodate a lengthy stay. If you're looking for a dog sitter: they were helpful, communicated frequently, and shared plenty of adorable photos snuggling and playing with their dog Charlie! I would certainly use their services again and highly recommend. Thanks again!”
“Yuhong is the best. She really came to our rescue last minute while we dealt with logistics related to the local wildfire. She took great care of our dog, and he was clearly happy in the daily update pics. On top of being available and reliable, Yuhong was also incredibly sensitive and caring towards our family's situation. I highly recommend her as both an awesome Rover and awesome human.”
“Charlie had a great time with Diego's family and got along with his sweet dog Amanda. Diego was communicative and sent us lots of photos and updates throughout the stay. Thank you Diego!”
“Adrienne and Mike were a great team in caring for Sadie, our 14 pound 7 year old cockapoo. Sadie is a bit timid and has only stayed with one previous caregiver. So a 16 day stay was a concern as Sadie is very attached to her two human parents. Adrienne and Mike helped prepare Sadie to know we would be coming back for her by offering two complimentary stay overs, 2 hours each, for Sadie to get used to them and their home and to know we would be coming back to pick her up. Sadie has always been hand fed and Adrienne had no problem in realizing that on her own and accomodating Sadie's special need. In interviewing different care givers we found that not all caregivers let you see the actual inside of the home where their pup will be staying. But this was no problem for Adrienne and Mike. We also liked that they were a 2 person team so if one of them came down ill, there would always be a back-up. We definately recommend this two person team to others. Thank you Adrienne and Mike !”
About: I've shared my home with two to four dogs since coming to LA 15 years ago. Because I work from home, your pup gets a calm, dog-savvy human nearby all day — frequent yard breaks, play, and belly rubs instead of hours alone. I'm comfortable with puppies, seniors, medications, and high-energy dogs, and I keep my numbers small so every dog gets real one-on-one attention. I work from home on a flexible schedule, so your dog has company and supervision for most of the day — regular walks, play, and potty breaks, not long stretches alone. I offer boarding and daycare and take just one family's dog or two at a time, and I'm glad to keep your dog's normal routine for meals, naps, and bedtime. I always mark as unavailable any days I have travel or major time commitments that will keep me away from home for more than an hour or two, so they will have constant care while they're here. Your dog will have free range of my 3 bedroom home, detached studio, and very large, securely fenced backyard full of fruit trees. I don't have pets of my own right now, so your pup gets the whole space and my full attention. I'm happy to crate or set up a quiet separate area if that's what your dog is used to, and I keep things calm and low-stress. I have a doggy door for dogs who prefer to let themselves in/out at their leisure. I converted our detached 2 car garage into a recording studio, where I work, so we have the quietest place in town in the event we have to make it through fireworks or if your pet prefers quiet or isolation. Both the house and studio have their own separate HVAC systems, so they'll definitely stay comfortable. I have always slept with my own dogs, so happy to co-sleep with yours if that's what they're used to, but also glad to maintain whatever rules you generally set for them in regard to being on beds/furniture.
“Albina took great care of my boy. She made sure he went on multiple walks a day and sent me updates. He came home very happy. Will definitely take Kobe to her again😊”
“Jasmine and Andrew were so amazing! Great communication and super flexible. 3 night boarding for our dog and I’d definitely 100% recommend them for caring for your pet whenever you’re away. Our dog was very happy and all the pictures we received showed how much he liked his time with them. :)”
“Stephanie was wonderful with our girl!! ❤️ She sent updates and pictures during her stay which melted our hearts!! We would definitely recommend Stephanie to watch your pet and will board with her again in the future. :)”
“Magdalena is an amazing sitter. She was so easy to work with especially after I made a mistake in my booking. She was so kind to me and great with my dog Ronda. Lots of pics and videos. She’s very good with dogs!”
“Jing is the best! She gave us updates about our dog several times a day and sent us videos and pictures. We feel comfortable leaving our dog with her. Our dog seems had lots of fun there. 100% recommend!”
“Our dog Zoey had a great time with Diana and her pups! We left for four days and Diana sent lots of communication and Zoey was well taken care of. We would highly recommend Diana and will use her in the future.”

“Princess stayed with Corinna for a week, while we were out of town. She took such a good care of Princess, adjusting to her shy personality and working patiently until establishing trust and bond. We were very impressed how great Corinna is with pets and enjoyed her daily updates on how Princess is doing. We highly recommend Corinna.”
About: For as long as I've been alive, there has been a cat in my household. I love cats more than any other pet, and I love nothing more than to be around and take care of them. I have volunteered at Tail Town Cats when I was 15, and I have a lot of experience feeding cats and taking out their litter.
“Viky was a really amazing house sitter for my cats! She was even able to clip their nails! I got many updates and she was really communicative. I will definitely be hiring her for house sitting in the future.”
“Elissa was an amazing sitter for our kitties! She was incredibly communicative, prompt, and reliable. Not to mention, I could feel how much she truly cared about Coraline and Toulouse. Elissa even did a video call with us to “meet” and go over details before our trip. We will absolutely be using Elissa again for our cat sitting needs. Thank you Elissa for your genuine care and kindness!”
“Aline was great! She followed through in every visit by spending time with our cat and making sure her needs were met. Constant communication with us and provided pictures in the rover card.”
“We booked Camille for our wedding weekend and she was extraordinary. She went above and beyond to ensure that our cats were well looked after, cleaning litterboxes, sweeping floors, and keeping an eye on food/water levels. We received albums of pictures as well as a detailed report on our pets' behavior. She even helped with setting up an automatic feeder that we had forgotten to setup. Communication was perfect, we were able to ask her any questions we had and she was very communicative about when she would be visiting. Next time we leave on vacation, we will be sure to ask if Camille is available!”
About: I’ve cared for cats through drop-in visits and overnight stays, making sure each one feels safe, comfortable, and well-loved while their owners are away. I’m a therapist full-time, which means I’m calm, attentive, and very tuned in to behavior and routines. I’ve also fostered kittens and have a cat of my own, so I’m experienced with everything from playful young cats to shy or sensitive ones. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, medications, litter care, enrichment play, and giving plenty of affection. I work from home much of the week, which allows me flexibility and natural breaks throughout my day for drop-in visits or extended care. My schedule includes built-in gaps between sessions, so I’m able to provide attentive, unhurried visits and stick closely to your cat’s routine. Because I’m already accustomed to managing a structured schedule, I’m reliable, punctual, and communicative. Pet care fits seamlessly into my weekly routine, and I’m intentional about only booking what I can thoughtfully and consistently handle. I prioritize a safe and calm environment for every pet I care for. In your home I follow your routines exactly, including feeding, playtime, litter cleaning, and any medication instructions, so your cat feels comfortable and secure. I always supervise interactions and make sure doors, windows, and other hazards are managed for safety. In my home I maintain a clean, quiet space where cats can relax, explore, or retreat as they wish. Having fostered kittens and being a cat owner myself, I understand how to read behavior, provide comfort, and create a stress-free environment that keeps pets happy and safe.
“Neysa was such a great sitter for our cats, she was incredibly responsive and responsible with everything we agreed on, I felt at ease being away knowing that they were being taken care of by a caring and responsible sitter. She was very reliable and went above & beyond on everything we requested for the week we were away, thank you so much!!”
“She was so good with Jessica. Usually she's super shy with new people and she immediately im ate treats from Anne. Her energy was great. Clearly she has a connection with the animals. It was less hard going on a trip knowing my cat was in good hands. She also sent the cutest photos.”
“Second time we had Rachel watch our cat in a month. I requested the day before we had to leave on a last minute trip and she got back to me right away and was absolutely amazing!”
“Jessica has been great checking in on and walking our dog Miso while we’re at work. He is very particular with people but warmed up to her right away. She’s been very responsive with updates. I would definitely recommend her!”
“We've rebooked Priscilla, and couldn't be more thrilled to have done so... we know our two kitties were happy to see her in November and December! She's so good with them, especially with Reina who needs insulin shots twice daily. Her attention to details, compassionate nature towards them and consistent information about them are all reasons we will continue to book Priscilla in the future.”
“Jessica was the best sitter we’ve ever had! She sent tons of photos and check-ins, took care of our babies perfectly, and left our home spotless. After searching for a great sitter for so long, I’m so happy we found Jessica 🤍”
“Chelsea is kind and sweet and just wonderful to our 3 kitties, one of which is a senior who needs a gentle cat sitter. I know I can trust her to love our kitties like her own.”
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life, and caring for them feels natural to me. I’m patient, calm, and really pay attention to each dog’s personality. I’m used to walking energetic pups, giving extra love to shy or senior dogs, and keeping routines just the way owners prefer. Friends and neighbors always trust me because I treat every pet like they’re part of my family. Your dog will get lots of care, love, and happy walks with me. Pet care fits really naturally into my daily routine. I always start and end my day with walks, playtime, and check-ins, so caring for pets easily fits around my work and schedule. I make plenty of time for feeding, potty breaks, cuddles, and exercise. Whether it’s morning, afternoon, or evening, I make sure each pet gets consistent love and attention throughout the day. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routines exactly how the owner prefers. I make sure they get enough walks, playtime, feeding, water, and any special care they need. I keep their space clean, give lots of attention, and make sure they feel safe and relaxed while their family is away.
“Mitchie settled in quickly and felt right at home with Mari. Mari is a great communicator, and it’s clear they’re a real cat lover. I really appreciated the updates and photos throughout my trip, which made it easy to relax knowing Mitchie was in good hands. Highly recommend, and I’ll definitely be booking with Mari again for future trips.”
About: What Sets Me Apart Caring for animals has truly been a lifelong part of who I am. I’ve been caring for cats since I was 4 years old and dogs since my early teens. My parents have fostered and sheltered animals for over 25 years, and when I visit home, I help care for what we lovingly call our little “pet haven.” Through that experience, I’ve cared for kittens and puppies all the way through their senior years. Being around foster and rescue animals has taught me patience, gentleness, and how to read different personalities — from energetic and playful to calm, sensitive, or even a little sassy 😊. I’m comfortable with both high-energy pets and senior pets who need a slower, softer approach. I also have a deep respect for animal safety and well-being — even rescuing baby birds and bringing them to the local humane society when needed. Animals have always been a source of comfort and joy in my life, and I treat every pet with that same level of love, attentiveness, and care.

“Moon is an absolute blessing. I’ve had a few sitters in the past, but no one has ever made me (or my dog Bernie) feel as comfortable, supported, and cared for as she does. Her communication is exceptional — she sends thoughtful updates, photos, and check-ins throughout the day, so I always feel in the loop without ever having to ask. Bernie is high-energy and a little high-strung, and not once has Moon ever made him feel like he was “too much.” She welcomes his personality, plays with him, takes him on walks, and makes sure he gets plenty of outdoor time in her beautiful, spacious backyard. She introduced him to her dog, Ru, with so much intentionality, patience, and care — which set them up for a smooth, safe, and positive connection from day one. Her home feels warm, artistic, and full of good energy — which is very aligned with me as a creative. Bernie picked up on that immediately. He gets SO excited when he sees her, and honestly, that tells me everything I need to know. Bernie gravitates to Moon like she’s an extension of me — safe, loving, and deeply familiar to him. On top of all that, she treats Bernie like family. She pays attention to his food schedule, his quirks, his needs, and she checks in with me immediately if anything seems off. Her communication is flawless. She’s flexible with booking, great with pricing, and even offers pickup/drop-off when I need it. I cannot recommend Moon enough. She is warm, intuitive, attentive, and genuinely cares about the dogs in her home. Bernie and I are so grateful to have found her. If you’re looking for someone who brings both heart and professionalism to what they do, she’s the one.”
About: Hello! I have grown-up with dogs all my life. I currently have two adorable babies Charles and Tika (1year old siblings) who I love to pieces. Aside from my job as a nanny, I have dog sat more times than I can count and take my bosses dogs to the dog park 3 times a week for exercise and playtime! I have taken care of dogs of all ages from puppies to seniors and enjoy going to the dog park or walking around the neighborhood! It brings me so much joy and happiness into my life! I am a nanny and have been with the same family for over 16 years. I took care of three children but now I only have the youngest left. He is in school during the day and I am free from 9am to 3pm Monday through Friday. Saturdays I am off. I have 6 hours free everyday to be able to take your fur baby/babies for some fun in the sun, exercise, explore, or fresh air! I safely transport my bosses dogs to and from home to the dog park. All dogs are on a leash until we arrive. Once we are there I play ball or walk around with them and always have my attention to make sure they are safe from any aggressive dogs or anything on the floor that they might want to eat. I bring my two little yorkie mixes with me for company and playtime with the other dogs. I carry wipes, poop bags, water, and hand sanitizer at all times because it comes in handy on a daily basis!
“I left my dog Arya with Angelica for day care for two days in a row and it was awesome. Arya had other small dogs to play with and a back yard to run around in and Angelica and her daughter were so nice to her and caring.”
“My puppy loves Stephanie! She wags her tail like crazy when I drop her off. Stephanie is a great fit for Mia and I. I’m really happy that Stephanie is our sitter.”
About: I have recently made a move from a corporate career in finance to my first love, animal care after my neighbors all wanted me to walk and sit their beloved dogs! I opened my business Rosey Rovers this year. I just opened my new business Rosey Rovers after transitioning from a corporate career in the insurance industry. I am happy to offer my services with love and care in the Pasadena and surrounding areas. I currently offer walks daily at my client's request, for in home sitting I offer a sequestered area for your pet. I have a 72 pound very dog friendly mixed breed in my apartment, however, I like to sequester for safety of everyone's pets. I will provide photos of your pet for you every hour too!
“Really happy with today’s doggy day care. Efficient communication and a positive attitude. Thank you so much for taking lorelai last minute. I was sent regular updates and photos of how my pup was doing. Their Great Dane puppy Morgana kept lorelai busy and gave her a good work out. Lorelai had a couple potty accidents inside and they were incredibly gracious about it. I apologize about that again.”
“Tremendous care and play for my supercharged rott. year old- she was even worn out the next day, which I've never seen. Great communication throughout- highly recommended.”
About: When you choose me as your sitter, you can trust that your companion will be treated like family. I grew up with 5 dogs, and I love to spend time dog sitting now that I live on my own. I've watched and walked dogs throughout my entire lifetime, and my goal is to always provide your pet with experienced and loving care! I am excited to meet new pets and give their parents comfort in the fact that they will be well taken care of. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, and am willing to help with training, whenever needed. I go on walks often, and would love to have your dog along for the trip. I love animals and would love to be given the opportunity to care of yours! Pet care is super important to me! I start off every morning with a good long dog walk before it gets too hot here in LA, and then I make sure to do 2-3 more walks throughout the day. I currently work from home and I love dog snuggles. I offer all services, so it truly depends on what you book with me! I can guarantee a loving experience for your dog (as I know I will love and care for them just as much as you do!)
“Thank you Frances for putting me at ease as this was my doggie's first time with you. Thank you for being attentive to him, and keeping me updated throughout his stay. He was safe with you and that gave me peace of mind. He looks forward to his next visit.”
“Kiran was a wonderful dog sitter for my dog Smidgen. She was super warm and communicative and sent pictures throughout the day. I don’t always trust so easily when it comes to Smidgen, but Kiran made me feel totally comfortable and like Smidgen would be in great hands. At our meet and greet, she asked a lot of questions and took into account what would help make Smidgen feel comfortable and safe. I know Smidgen had a great time hanging out with her and her pup and I will absolutely use her again. Highly recommend!”
About: I don’t just watch dogs—I connect with them. Whether it’s an energetic pup needing training, a senior dog requiring gentle care, or a nervous rescue who needs patience, I adapt to their needs. I have experience with leash training, basic commands, medication administration, and, most importantly, making sure every dog feels safe, happy, and loved. Your pup isn’t just getting a sitter—they’re getting a new best friend! As a freelance film editor working from home, I have the flexibility to give pets the attention they deserve throughout the day. Whether it’s morning walks, midday play sessions, or evening cuddle time, I easily integrate pet care into my routine. My work allows me to be present, ensuring your pet gets consistent care, companionship, and plenty of love! Whether in my apartment or your home, I ensure your pet feels comfortable and cared for. In my apartment, your pet will enjoy cozy spots, plenty of playtime, and regular walks around the neighborhood. When caring for pets in their own homes, I stick to their routine, giving them the love and attention they need while respecting their environment. I’m committed to making sure they feel secure and happy no matter where they are!
“Carmen is the most amazing puppy sitter! She follows our daily schedule for Frankie which includes meals, potty routine, light gentle play, naps, and training! I am so lucky to have her care for my Frankie. It’s so hard for me to trust anyone with an 3mo old puppy and Carmen immediately proved how caring and attentive she is. I receive photos, videos, and updates that keep my mind at ease while during my long shifts at work.”
“I'm having construction work done on my home and wanted to get my cats away from what I knew would be some very loud activity. Alexis was listed as a dog sitter but was happy to cat-sit my two cats. They're indoor-only cats and have never spent much time away from home. Alexis was great with them! One of my cats is very shy but by the second day he was feeling much more comfortable around her. She sent pictures so I could see how they were doing and was very responsive. Would definitely book with her again!”
“Freddie was so stoked! He got lots of play time with his new bff Henri and was very well taken care of. Will definitely book with Michael again. Truly felt like Freddie was with family.”
“Winston had a great time with Victoria, Herb & Bella. Lovely gated yard & home to play in. Winston definitely has a new girlfriend - thanks for the great care! Looking forward to booking again soon!”
“Amanda was GREAT! From start to finish, she helped my anxious dog feel so comfortable. She was both Kind & Excellent at communicating! Would definitely recommend & book again(:”
“Great daycare. Helen and Ahmet took wonderful care of my 10 mo old golden doodle puppy. They went out of their way to feed her on her new schedule (she’s had a low appetite lately due to a food change), took her for walks and to the dog park. Helen asked many great questions at the meet and great to ensure she could provide a terrific day. My puppy bonded w them over the course of the day, which was clear when I went to pick her up.”

“Silvia did an amazing job with my dogs while I was away. She is extremely caring and responsive, from setting up a meet and greet with the pups to the every detail of the Rover Card. I enjoyed reading about their walks and the pictures were really great, made me smile. I will definitely use her services again!”
“Courtney does an excellent job taking our Dutch shepherd on his morning walks. She has built a good relationship with him and he does really well with her. She’s on time and takes him a good long routes to help get out his morning energy.”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover who enjoys spending time with dogs of all sizes and personalities. While I don’t currently have a canine companion at home, I’ve cared for and walked friends’ dogs over the years and understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pet. I’m patient, dependable, and attentive to each dog’s individual needs. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, leisurely sniffing adventures, or simply some extra companionship during the day, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of care, attention, and exercise while you’re away. I have flexible availability on most Mondays and Fridays, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. Whether your dog needs a midday walk, an evening stroll, or some extra attention while you’re away, I’m happy to help whenever my schedule allows. I understand that pets are most comfortable when their routines stay consistent. When caring for your pet in your home, I’ll follow your care instructions carefully, provide plenty of attention and affection, and make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable.
“Andi was great and very accommodating to our schedule, as our needs changed slightly. She gave us peace of mind while caring for our new puppy and our old man and their various needs. She was always very transparent and clearly communicated with us when and how the visit went. Thank you Andi!”
“Stephanie is great. She’s walked our new pup for us while we are at work. Always very responsive, leaves great pictures, and the Rover “report card” for walks is so cute! Just like daycare you know what your dog did while you were gone.”
About: *House Sitting (in your home) is my only availability at the moment! We are in the process of finding another home in Pasadena, we can no longer take any bookings for boarding for the rest of the year at the moment. Thank you for your understanding!* Hello pet parents! Here’s a little bit about me: I’ve been dog sitting for the last seven years, through Rover and personal friends. I grew up around dogs in my family and have really enjoyed learning to train and care for other pups. I feel that it’s almost an instant click with every furry friend that I’ve met so far ❤️ I work M-F from home at a tech company and having a friend around brightens every day! My partner and I love dogs but currently don’t own one. Working from home, I tend to have more time on my hands to help you take care of your pup so you can have an ease of mind while you’re away 😊 My mornings start bright and early around 8am. I would typically walk your dogs at that time to start off the day, then every 3-4 hours for potty breaks and another half hour walk at the end of the day. I understand that every pups’ schedule is different so I am flexible to cater to your dogs needs. For boarding- My apartment is very minimalistic which makes it pet safe. I never leave any open garbage or food scraps out so you do not to worry about your dogs getting into them. We also get ants if we ever leave any food out so we keep it extra clean. My place is about 1150 sq ft so there’s a bit of room to play! For home sitting- I will always make note of house rules and abide by them at all times (and make sure your dog is too!). You can trust me to keep the place neat and tidy, just the way you left it!
“Jessica was extremely helpful to me and my dog while I recovered from an illness. Billie Jean is fairly shy and uncertain around new people, but Jessica handled her gently and I think they went for some nice walks. I'd definitely book with her again!”
About: Your furry friend is sure to be taken care of when they come to our home! With a family of children, there isn't a lack of the entertaining, special attention and love they will be given. My husband and I have been caring for the cats and dogs of our friends for years and are excited to have you consider us to watch after your fur baby! My schedule allows me to be home most of the day and will be available to watch after your fur baby throughout the day to give them walks, playtime, and potty breaks. Choosing the overnight boarding option? Our family winds down around 10 and are early risers, allowing us to give ample attention to your pet. I have a fenced yard and large area for the dogs to play! I have a pool that is gated off and can either let them near the water, or keep them away; whatever you prefer! I do not have any pets of my own and only book one dog at a time, allowing your dog to feel safe and not have to worry about territorial issues.
About: I'm a lifelong animal lover who grew up surrounded by cats, dogs, and horses. Every pet has their own personality, and I love getting to know what makes each one unique. I've worked as an animal care technician and have training in animal behavior and positive-reinforcement handling. Whether your pet is anxious, shy, energetic, or somewhere in between, I know how to make them feel comfortable and safe. I'm happy to help with walks, playtime, medications, feeding, or simply keeping your pet company with plenty of love and attention while you're away. You'll get regular photos and updates so you can relax knowing your furry family member is in good hands. I can't wait to meet your pet! 🐶🐱💛 Since I work from home, I have the flexibility to stick to your pet's usual routine—whether that means specific meal times, regular walks, or just being around for company throughout the day. I'm happy to help with medications, playtime, or simply keeping your pet loved and cared for while you're away. Safety is my top priority. I have in-depth knowledge of recognizing and preventing safety concerns, so you can trust your pet will be in careful, attentive hands at all times.
“She was one of the best people we have ever had care for our dog. We asked for her help last minute with some dog walks, and she was punctual, thoughtful, very gentle with our sensitive dog, and very reliable. I would highly recommend her!”
About: 🐾 About Me Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with years of hands-on experience caring for pups of all personalities and needs. I started working with dogs back in high school while volunteering at my local humane society, and I’ve spent over a decade caring for my own three small-breed fur babies. 💛 My Care Style I treat every dog like family—because that’s exactly how I’d want my own pups treated. I’m very responsive, attentive, and on the cautious side when it comes to safety. Whether your dog is shy, energetic, or somewhere in between, I’m patient, gentle, and excited to get to know them. 🐶 Why Book With Me Years of hands-on dog care experience Comfortable with small breeds and sensitive pups Safety-focused and highly communicative Genuinely love meeting new furry friends I’d be thrilled to care for your pup and give them all the love, attention, and fun they deserve. I’m a fully remote employee with a consistent work schedule that can support flexibility. I take care of my own 3 pups with many walks throughout the day and can add to the pack or walk your pup separately! My own pets are always indoors, able to free roam and be in the furniture, etc. While I am not offering in home boarding, my space does also have a fully gated grass courtyard I could walk your pup to as well!
“It was a really good experience working with Lanice. I am excited to work with her again. My puppies are very strong and can be difficult to control if you are not patient. Lanice was willing to take the time for Hazel bell and Zeus to get to know her and take instructions. I will definitely be booking her again.”
About: I’ve lived around and taken care of dogs since I was young ranging from a 12 week old puppy to a 12 year old dog. My parents have relied on me to take care of our dogs for the past couple years when they go on vacation or work trips. I’ve started independently taking care of dogs three years ago. I’m currently a full time student home for the summer so I’ll be able to play with and love your fur baby at any time. I’m available to pet and home sit any day of the week for any length of time. I am a fully able bodied individual capable of walking, playing, and taking care of your furry family member. I’ll treat your dog as my own and give them all the love and attention they need.
About: Ive grown up with kitties, bunnies, & pups in the family since childhood. Had the honor of guiding many pets from puppy to senior over the years. Recently lost my senior baby and looking to spoil someone elses pups with lots of love and treats♥️ I work from home on Thursdays and Fridays so Im available all day and can be available into the weekend for long stays if need be. I have a fenced in side yard and spacious front yard for your pupper to frolic in. I have a crate if your pupper prefers and live next to a park to accomodate lively walks.
“I have a Great Dane who is very reactive to people and moving objects. I needed a walker in an emergency and contacted rover and choose Julien to walk him 2 times a day. I was worried at first however after our meet and greet I felt confident with my choice. Julien was perfect! He handled my precious dog with ease and confidence. Even when my dog did a few naughty things in my house he kindly took action and handled the problem as well as notified me and help correct the issue. Moving forward I would choose Julian for all of my needs walking Siren.”
About: I have had and cared for dogs since childhood. I have experience with a wide spectrum of breeds, from the larger, more protective (German Shepherd), to the smaller, more energetic breeds (Corgi). I currently have a 13.5YO male Corgi, and have experience caring for senior dogs that require more attentive care (I recently laid my sweet girl to rest at 14.5YO, after a year-and-a-half long battle with kidney failure). In his prime, my little potato and his late sister were quite the herders, so I am able to keep up with high energy dogs. I have less experience with cats, but my empathetic approach allows me to always find common language with my furry friends. I currently work freelance from home, so my schedule is flexible to accommodate your (and your fur baby’s) needs. Though, I might need to run errands during the day or take my elderly parents to doctor’s appointments. But I conduct most of my business in the San Gabriel Valley, rarely venturing over to the west side of town, so I am always nearby. My typical day with my senior, indoor corg includes going on a walk (or to the park) 1-2x daily, depending on his energy levels. I feed him 4 meals a day (versus 3) because he has a sensitive tum, and adding another meal later into the night ensures that he doesn’t wake up with an irritated stomach. I wash his food and water bowls daily with a mild soap to reduce exposure to harmful bacteria. When we go on walks, I make sure to give other people walking with dogs a wide berth, especially if they have a larger dog and are preoccupied looking at or talking on their phones. I always scan the ground for potentially harmful things careless people can leave behind, like chicken bones. I also allow my little guy to sniff to his heart’s content, because I read that for dogs, sniffing on walks provides enrichment akin to reading the daily paper.
“Bobbie is great! She is super friendly and loving towards my dog. He seems happy to see her. She showed up on time to walk him and showed a genuine interest in giving my dog the best care possible. Bobbie has a great attitude and is very easy to talk to. So happy I found her! Booking again next week.”
“Vezoth (Vickie) has been walking my Lumen, on a weekly basis, for 3 months. She took a vacation and we're so glad she's back! I can tell that Lumen really enjoys their late afternoon walks. And when it's hot, Vickie uses the doggie cooling vest to ensure Lumen stays comfortable and stills gets a nice walk. Thank you!”

“Wonderful dog loving family that took excellent care of my 2 dogs (Shiba and Cavalier King Charles) while I was away for 2 weeks. The dogs felt right at home, received lots of affection, and I received pics throughout their stay. Will definitely leave my dogs in their care again!”
“My husband and I booked a pet friendly hotel in Pasadena and planned on going to the 626 night market last weekend. At the time of booking, we didn't realize pets weren't allowed to be left unattended at the hotel at any time. Desperate to figure out where to leave my 10 month old pup Emma for a couple of hours, I learned about Rover and (around 9:30pm) began to message everyone and anyone I could in hopes of finding a last minute pet sitter. Angelica was quick to respond and very eager to help me with my situation. Upon dropping my pup off, her personality was very welcoming and her sons also looked very excited to spend time with my Emma. Although my pick up time was anticipated to be pretty late (around midnight or 1am!), she didn't seemed bothered by it at all. She truly is a pet lover! This review just isn't enough to show my appreciation for people like Angelica. I highly recommend using her (and her family) for your dog needs!”
“Yuhong is the best. She really came to our rescue last minute while we dealt with logistics related to the local wildfire. She took great care of our dog, and he was clearly happy in the daily update pics. On top of being available and reliable, Yuhong was also incredibly sensitive and caring towards our family's situation. I highly recommend her as both an awesome Rover and awesome human.”
“Charlie had a great time with Diego's family and got along with his sweet dog Amanda. Diego was communicative and sent us lots of photos and updates throughout the stay. Thank you Diego!”
About: I've shared my home with two to four dogs since coming to LA 15 years ago. Because I work from home, your pup gets a calm, dog-savvy human nearby all day — frequent yard breaks, play, and belly rubs instead of hours alone. I'm comfortable with puppies, seniors, medications, and high-energy dogs, and I keep my numbers small so every dog gets real one-on-one attention. I work from home on a flexible schedule, so your dog has company and supervision for most of the day — regular walks, play, and potty breaks, not long stretches alone. I offer boarding and daycare and take just one family's dog or two at a time, and I'm glad to keep your dog's normal routine for meals, naps, and bedtime. I always mark as unavailable any days I have travel or major time commitments that will keep me away from home for more than an hour or two, so they will have constant care while they're here. Your dog will have free range of my 3 bedroom home, detached studio, and very large, securely fenced backyard full of fruit trees. I don't have pets of my own right now, so your pup gets the whole space and my full attention. I'm happy to crate or set up a quiet separate area if that's what your dog is used to, and I keep things calm and low-stress. I have a doggy door for dogs who prefer to let themselves in/out at their leisure. I converted our detached 2 car garage into a recording studio, where I work, so we have the quietest place in town in the event we have to make it through fireworks or if your pet prefers quiet or isolation. Both the house and studio have their own separate HVAC systems, so they'll definitely stay comfortable. I have always slept with my own dogs, so happy to co-sleep with yours if that's what they're used to, but also glad to maintain whatever rules you generally set for them in regard to being on beds/furniture.
“Stephanie was wonderful with our girl!! ❤️ She sent updates and pictures during her stay which melted our hearts!! We would definitely recommend Stephanie to watch your pet and will board with her again in the future. :)”
“Our dog Zoey had a great time with Diana and her pups! We left for four days and Diana sent lots of communication and Zoey was well taken care of. We would highly recommend Diana and will use her in the future.”
“It’s always been very hard for us to leave our dog, but Catherine and Albert have made it so much easier for us to travel without worry! They truly go above and beyond to make him feel like he’s just part of their family. Our dog loves playing in their amazing backyard and walking in their beautiful and safe neighborhood! They also put a lot of thought and time into making sure the pack is a good fit so everyone has fun and is comfortable! Beyond being wonderful and caring with him, they were so kind when our flight was delayed this past trip. They stepped in to watch him for an extra night without a second thought, which was such a huge relief during a stressful travel day. We’re so grateful to have found such kind, caring, reliable people who care for our pup as much as we do!”
“If you are looking for a spectacular sitter, hire Steven! He went above and beyond for our pup, keeping us posted every step of the way with great photos. Our dog has separation anxiety, but Steven handled it flawlessly by dedicating lots of quality time to him and taking him on frequent daily walks. We couldn't have asked for better peace of mind. Highly recommended!”
“The best care of my dog (Mochi) during vacation. Mochi slept by himself in an individual room with his own blanket and food drink bowl. The house and backyard is clean and provide a lot of room for him to move around. He made friend with Eric’s little dog. Mochi does not like to be with a lot other dogs. Eric’s place is perfect for him. Eric walked him everyday and send video to us everyday. Price is very reasonable. We will surely use Eric’s service next time if he has slot for Mochi.”
“Victoria and Herb are AMAZING. They are always so sweet to my dog. Takes him on multiple walks, sends lots of pictures, hand feeds my dog, etc… I book her every time she is available for doggie day care and dog sitting”
“Rique was highly responsive, flexible, and took care to learn about our dog's personality, needs, and expectations. The entire experience was easy to manage and worked out well.”
“Bobbie spoiled our high energy puppy with lots of activities and love. We have already booked her again for our next trip. We are so glad we found someone we can trust to care for our girl Dottie. Bobbie has great space for pets and gave us frequent updates. We highly recommend her!”
“Simba has stayed with Meena and her family for several week long trips and I keep coming back because I know he will receive just as much love and care as I give him! Which is saying a lot because he is a very affectionate and high energy young pup! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Meena enough!”
“Brooke was great! Knew the minute we met all would be good. Brooke provided updates and photos of Stan's stay and It was obvious he was relaxed, happy, and well taken care of. Will defnitely continue to board with Brooke.”
“Greg was an absolute incredible sitter for our senior dog Jack! We needed someone last minute and Greg was so accommodating and flexible. He'll be on our short list for sitters moving forward for sure”
“Dodonna took good care of our dog and sent many pictures. He was able to stay indoors when it was too hot out and go outside when he wanted. There were several other dogs there so he had a lot of playmates. He had a good weekend.”
“Our pup had an amazing time at Alysha’s! Alysha took him on lots of hikes and walks, and he also spent time running around in the backyard. It was the perfect setup for our high-energy dog, and we’d recommend Alysha in a heartbeat!”
