“Amazing! Savannah was so great with both our dogs. I had absolutely nothing to worry about when leaving our dogs with Savannah, she walked them everyday and our dogs had such a great time playing with hers. Savannah was so great sending pictures and updates daily, I really could not have asked for more. We will be using Savannah everytime we go out of town!”
“Angela provided exceptional care for Mousse during our ten‑day trip. Since this was the first time we’d ever left him — and given his anxiety and barking — we expected it to be difficult. Instead, Angela handled him with confidence and kindness, and he quickly warmed up to her and her beagle, Kona. Her frequent photo and video updates while we were in Japan made a huge difference for us. She ensured Mousse stayed active, comfortable, and well‑supported with walks, playtime, and dog‑park visits. I would definitely recommend her to all my friends and family.”
“This was Ness’s second time watching our pup Pretzel, and she was just as amazing as the first! Pretzel absolutely adores her, and it’s such a comfort knowing she’s in loving, reliable hands. Ness is warm, communicative, and genuinely cares; can’t recommend her enough. We’ll definitely keep coming back!”
“This was the first time I left my two little furry ones with anyone other than my mom, so needless to say, I was quite nervous. A big part of my concern was because one of my dogs does not do well with most humans or other pets besides his brother. Veronica kindly agreed to do a meet-and-greet beforehand to make sure my dogs were comfortable with her and that it was a good fit both ways. By the end of the meeting, the dog I was most worried about had completely warmed up to her and was rolling onto his back so she could rub his belly! I was so thankful knowing they would be comfortable staying with her for the five days I was away. Veronica sent updates and photos, and they looked relaxed, happy, and well cared for in every picture. I truly believe pets can sense when someone genuinely cares for them, and I could see that with Veronica. I would absolutely recommend Veronica, and if I ever need to leave my pets again, I would feel completely comfortable having them stay with her.”
“I am so happy my cat Leo was left with Tamara, she was very nice and my cat was in good hands. Loved that I would get pictures of him on how he was doing. I would rebook again with Tamara, thank you!”
“Ximena took great care of my dog, Noodles, while my family was on vacation. She has a great backyard, took Noodles to the park for walks, and sent pictures and video updates while we were away so I knew my dog was happy and well taken care of. Noodles felt very comfortable with Ximena and her family. She can be anxious but she settled in easily and had fun playing with Ximena's dog Fluffy. Ximena is easy to talk to and friendly. I will be booking with her again!”
“Miguel answered my desperate last minute request, came to get Princess and brought her back home as soon as we got home. He sent pictures and made us feel safe with Princess in his care. Highly recommended and will definitely use him again…Princess even got a haircut!!!”
“Sylvia is an excellent sitter! Max was with her 3 days and she took Max and her dog Poki on walks each day, sent pictures consistently, and made sure Max was comfortable. She also made sure To follow Max’s feeding schedule, which tends to be the tedious part about taking care of him. I really appreciate how loving she was with him and we will definitely be booking with her again! Her Grandson loves animals so there’s another plus! Max recieved constant attention😁 thank you Sylvia!”
“We had a wonderful experience with our dog sitter while we were out of town. They took excellent care of our dog, kept us updated with messages and photos, and gave us peace of mind knowing she was in good hands. Our dog was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. We really appreciated their reliability, kindness, and attention to detail. We would absolutely trust them with our dog again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring and dependable pet sitter.”
“I really appreciate Mollie caring for our Teddy and making good judgement on when to walk him and for how long considering the heatwave the city was experiencing. I was also thankful for the updates and pictures throughout his stay. It was obvious Teddy was enjoying his time with Mollie and her family. I highly recommend Mollie!”
About: Your dog will have plenty of company, space, and attention while staying with me. My partner and I both work from home, so someone is around throughout the day. We have a fully fenced backyard for play, potty breaks, and exercise, plus two separate living areas for dogs to have their own space or be separated when needed. I have experience with puppies, seniors, and all kinds of personalities and energy levels. I’m comfortable with medications, feeding schedules, routines, and dogs who need extra care or patience. My dog, Hazey Mae, is very friendly and loves having new friends around. I always introduce dogs at their own pace and make sure everyone is comfortable. Whether your dog is playful, laid-back, or a little nervous, I’m patient, attentive, and want them to feel safe, comfortable, and at home while they’re with me. I work from home, and my partner does too, so there is almost always someone home throughout the day. Having dogs around fits naturally into our routine, and our own dog, Hazey Mae, is already part of our everyday schedule. Dogs get regular potty breaks, attention, playtime, and plenty of downtime. I’m available for boarding every day of the week and am happy to follow your dog’s usual routine, whether they’re active and playful or prefer a quieter, more relaxed day. Safety and comfort are my top priorities. I make sure dogs have a secure, comfortable environment with a fully fenced yard and separate spaces when needed. I introduce dogs slowly, pay attention to their body language, and always supervise them when they’re outside. I follow each owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, routines, and any special care their dog needs. I also make sure doors and gates are secure and take extra care to prevent dogs from getting out. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone, so communication is important to me. I’m happy to send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident knowing how your dog is doing while they’re with me.
“Shannon was great! Our pups loved her right off the bat. Shannon made our pups feel safe and comfortable right when we arrived. I would recommend Shannon to care for your pups. We will definitely use her services again.”
“I can’t recommend Blanca enough! I booked boarding with her and since my pup had never stayed away from family before I also booked a day of doggy day care so he could meet Blanca beforehand. Let me tell you, when he went back for boarding, he was so excited to see her again. She is wonderful about sending updates and lots of photos and videos, it really kept me at ease during my whole trip knowing my pup was not only being looked after but was surrounded by love. I would definitely book Blanca again. 10/10 recommend.”
“Brianna went above and beyond to give our doggie a great experience! She was responsive and very caring. We are truly impressed and appreciated her support. Will recommend her for sure. Thanks Brianna!!”
“Steven was an absolutely wonderful pet sitter. My wife and I always have family house/pet sit when we go out of town, so leaving them with a sitter had us a bit anxious. During the meet and greet, Steven immediately put us at ease with his kindhearted and soft nature which made us confident in his ability to provide excellent care. While we were gone, steven provided updates with pictures every day, and we could see that they were happy, relaxed, and enjoying thier time with him. Steven was also very accommodating as far as drop offs and pick ups. We absolutely plan on entrusting steven with our pups again in the future. Thank you, Steven!”
“Our dog Rusty's first stay with Athanasia was wonderful! I'd highly recommend her to anyone. She was flexible, communicative, and professional - all that you could ask for in a pet sitter. And to illustrate that I'd like to highlight two things about our experience with her that stood out to me. First, when we first contacted her about boarding, she asked really good questions. That's always something that marks a good sitter in my experience. Knowing that she was actively thinking about our dog's care and doublechecking details that we didn't cover in our Rover profile really put me at ease even before we'd met her. And second, when we picked Rusty up, she had all of his stuff so well organized in the big blue Ikea bag that we pack full of his food, toys, and blankets. It might seem like something small, but it really made me see the care she takes with things. (I myself normally just jam stuff in the bag until it fits, haha.) That's the kind of thoughtful person that I like to leave Rusty with. Thanks again for the great stay, Athanasia! We hope to see you again soon.”
“Matthew was great. Responded right away and he was able to take care of my dog at a short noticed. He was able to provide my dog’s medicines with no issues. He has given me updated photos and activities all weekend. Very positive and I’m sure my dog enjoyed the whole weekend with him. My dog looked happy when I picked her up. Thank you so much Matthew! 🙏🏼👍🏼 highly recommend.”

“Angie is very sweet and quickly made my clingy cat comfortable. She made the extra effort to spend time with him so that he wouldn’t be lonely and even monitored his diet as the vet said he was a little overweight. Her responses to messages were timely and she sent pictures whenever I asked. She also got my mail, kept my plants alive and was very accommodating when my garage door acted up while I was away. This is not the first time she has done housesitting for me and I will happily continue booking her services.”
“Rebecca is awesome! She is very communicative, pays great attention to details, and super sweet too. This is our second time booking with her and it’s been a blessing to have someone we trust and feel comfortable with watching our cats while we are out of town. I would book her more often but I only really go away once a year. She is the first person I’d think of if I need a sitter for any of my cats or dogs.”
About: I've been surrounded by animals since I was 6 years old and have always had a deep love and admiration for them. I currently have three dogs of my own, so I'm very familiar with daily care routines including feeding, walks, play time, basic grooming, administering medications if needed, and giving lots of attention and affection. I also care for a chinchilla and grew up spending time with my grandparents' cat, so I'm comfortable around different types of pets and their unique personalities. Although I'm new to professional pet sitting, caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I've even once considered becoming a vet tech because of how much I love spending time with animals. I'm responsible, attentive, and very detail-oriented, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. As someone pursuing a career in healthcare and BLS certified, safety and attentiveness are extremely important to me. Your pet's comfort, well-being, and happiness will always be my top priority. I am currently in school but when I am not in class I am more than happy to use some of that time to take care of your fur baby. When caring for pets in a client's home, I make it a priority to follow their established routine as closely as possible to keep pets comfortable and stress-free. I carefully follow feeding schedules, walk times, medication instructions if needed, and any specific area preferences. I provide plenty of playtime, attention, and affection while also making sure pets feel secure in their familiar environment. I'm very respectful of clients' homes, keep everything clean and organized, and provide regular updates with photos for peace of mind.
“Anika was great at communicating and I could tell she developed a fun & loving relationship with all the cats. She got to know their personalities quickly and how to interact with each of them. We were gone for our wedding and I was happy to not worry at all about the cats while we were gone, I could tell Anika really cared about them and we were able to relax on our wedding day knowing they were in good hands.”
About: Any specific routine needed is okay with me. I trained my own dog (Jerry) and have cared for others pets but I have no official experience. My goal is to become a trainer. Any time works pretty much for house sitting, I've got plenty of time to spend with pets. Dog walks anytime same day and cancellations too Honesty is key. I understand house sitting can feel invasive so I will try my best to counteract that. I love walking and dogs so doing both at the same time will be awesome, but I will walk them safely.
About: I've had a deep love for animals for as long as I can remember. I have experience with both dogs and cats. I have my own dog who has been my everything for 14 years now. I have also volunteered for Petco’s Love Cat Adoption Program, which included feeding, cleaning their area, and socializing with various types of cats. In addition, I regularly take care of my neighbors’ cats. I grew up with horses and was a horseback rider for a decade, so I learned from an early age the importance of patience and responsibility that comes with caring for animals. I believe every animal deserves love, safety, and care. I’m happy to visit your dog or cat based on their routine and needs. I will gladly send you pictures and updates of your beloved pet. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priorities. I am happy to play, pet, cuddle with your pet, and treat your pet like my own.
About: 23 years of experience, but dogs have always been a part of my life. Family I'd visit growing up and still visit have had 10 dogs featuring 8 different breeds, from Chihuahuas to Pitbulls. I've raised and basic-trained 3 puppy rescues since 2001, saw 2 of them to seniority (Chihuahua and Jack Russel-Chihuahua mix), and raised the most recent (Pug) until 2024 when I blessed close family members with her because they have a huge yard she adores and want her to be happy.

We can talk price adjustment after the first booking 😉❤️ I'm currently in between jobs so I'd be able to give your furbaby all the attention they need. I just need a day's heads up to get a few things sorted and we're all set! Your place or my place? I can go either way! This townhome has a patio your furbaby can sunbathe in with a breeze and shade, or we can keep them inside nice and cool/warm if the weather isn't friendly. If they're less adventurous, I can keep them company at your place where they'd feel more at home.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my patience, understanding, and ability to connect with cats of all personalities. I have experience caring for cats who are shy, independent, and even those with a more “grumpy” or antisocial personality. I understand that every cat has their own comfort level and needs, and I take the time to build trust instead of forcing interaction. My goal is to provide a calm, safe, and loving environment where each cat feels respected and cared for. Whether your cat is playful and affectionate or prefers their own space, I am committed to giving them the attention, patience, and care they deserve.

I provide consistent attention and a loving tone to help them feel safe. I also keep owners updated consistently throughout the day with photos, videos, and messages so they can feel at ease.
“Allen was great! We were looking for someone to drop on on our dog while we were out all day. He arrived exactly when scheduled and took care of her and spent some quality time with her. The photos were great - seeing her play and getting fed made a big difference. Knowing that our dog was being cared for while we were out for a long day helped us enjoy the day. Highly recommend Allen :)”

About: One thing about me, I genuinely care for your pet. I treat each pet as if they are my own and make sure to show that love and care throughout my time with them. Ive been a dog sitter and walker for over 9 years before joining this app. From puppies to seniors and with different health needs, I have the experience needed to take care of your pup. I now live in South Gate in a home with a fenced-in yard with convenient access to freeways and streets for easy commute. I understand the needs of different types of dogs from the overly friendly to very reactive and can accommodate to the dog’s needs accordingly. I currently have a 10 year-old husky and 1 year-old chihuahua mix I take care of at home. I’m currently in between jobs and have a lot of time on my hands. My time is most free during business hours but I am happy to accommodate to your scheduling needs. I currently live in an apartment. While it is a bit cramped, my husky is not territorial in the least and guest pups have an easy time accommodating to the space. If I am in someone else’s home, I will make sure to adhere to the rules and guidelines they provide me to take care of their pup(s).
“Excellent experience, I will definitely use your services again, not only for emergency but also for my furry have a better day out of the routine and have the opportunity to play with other dogs.”
About: I’ve been a proud pet parent to my own dog and cat for years, giving them daily walks, playtime, feedings, and lots of love. I’ve cared for friends’ and family members’ pets countless times — everything from energetic puppies needing basic training and lots of exercise to senior dogs requiring gentle walks, medication administration, and extra patience.What sets me apart? I’m a local Downey guy who’s always on time, super reliable, and treat every pet like my own family member.

Plus, my flexible schedule means I’m available for last-minute bookings or overnight stays. Your pets will get safe, fun, and loving care every time! Pet care easily fits into my flexible daily and weekly routine. As a full-time real estate professional and local Downey resident, my schedule is adaptable — I’m often out showing properties or running errands around town, which makes drop-ins, walks, and midday check-ins super convenient. Mornings and evenings are wide open for longer walks, playtime, feedings, or overnight stays. I typically block out time for pet clients first thing so they always get my full attention and energy. Weekends are especially flexible for boarding or extended visits. I treat every booking like it’s my own pet — reliable, on-time, and with plenty of updates so owners can relax.

In your home (drop-ins, walks, house-sitting): I follow your exact instructions to the letter — feeding schedule, medication, walk routes, play preferences, and any house rules. I keep your place spotless (no mess left behind), secure all doors/windows, and send plenty of photo/video updates so you can relax. I’m fully background-checked and treat every home like my own.

I’m happy to accommodate special needs like puppy energy, senior mobility, or anxious pets with extra patience. Your fur baby’s safety and happiness is my top priority — they’ll come home happy and tired!
“Sonia and her daughter were really nice and accommodating. They really took care of Summer and treated her like their own. I could tell that Summer had fun bonding with both of them and Summer looks happy every time we pick her up. Sonia’s really good with updating and sending pictures and videos of Summer. They made me feel at ease. Definitely, I will let them take care of Summer again if ever we get to have vacation. It’s hard to look for someone that you can entrust your furry baby and I’m lucky I found them!😊”

About: 23 years of experience, but dogs have always been a part of my life. Family I'd visit growing up and still visit have had 10 dogs featuring 8 different breeds, from Chihuahuas to Pitbulls. I've raised and basic-trained 3 puppy rescues since 2001, saw 2 of them to seniority (Chihuahua and Jack Russel-Chihuahua mix), and raised the most recent (Pug) until 2024 when I blessed close family members with her because they have a huge yard she adores and want her to be happy. I can't wait to fill this place with the vibrant energy only dogs can give! We can talk price adjustment after the first booking 😉❤️ I'm currently in between jobs so I'd be able to give your furbaby all the attention they need. I just need a day's heads up to get a few things sorted and we're all set! Your place or my place? I can go either way! This townhome has a patio your furbaby can sunbathe in with a breeze and shade, or we can keep them inside nice and cool/warm if the weather isn't friendly. If they're less adventurous, I can keep them company at your place where they'd feel more at home.

I currently have three dogs of my own, so I'm very familiar with daily care routines including feeding, walks, play time, basic grooming, administering medications if needed, and giving lots of attention and affection. I also care for a chinchilla and grew up spending time with my grandparents' cat, so I'm comfortable around different types of pets and their unique personalities.

I've even once considered becoming a vet tech because of how much I love spending time with animals. I'm responsible, attentive, and very detail-oriented, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. As someone pursuing a career in healthcare and BLS certified, safety and attentiveness are extremely important to me. Your pet's comfort, well-being, and happiness will always be my top priority.

I'm very respectful of clients' homes, keep everything clean and organized, and provide regular updates with photos for peace of mind.
About: I've had a deep love for animals for as long as I can remember. I have experience with both dogs and cats. I have my own dog who has been my everything for 14 years now. I have also volunteered for Petco’s Love Cat Adoption Program, which included feeding, cleaning their area, and socializing with various types of cats. In addition, I regularly take care of my neighbors’ cats. I grew up with horses and was a horseback rider for a decade, so I learned from an early age the importance of patience and responsibility that comes with caring for animals. I believe every animal deserves love, safety, and care. I’m happy to visit your dog or cat based on their routine and needs. I will gladly send you pictures and updates of your beloved pet.

“Great sitter! I would definitely rebook with Allen. He went above and beyond with my fur baby. When Gordo was being a little difficult he made sure to find a way to make him feel comfortable. He contacted us frequently to keep us updated and send many pictures. He would definitely be my first rebook at all times. Thank you!”
“Ivy walked my 10 yr old chihuahua three times last week (and I've asked her to do the same this week). She's great! She is very communicative and reliable. My dog is in a much happier mood since I started having Ivy walk him. I highly recommend Ivy!”

Ness is warm, communicative, and genuinely cares; can’t recommend her enough. We’ll definitely keep coming back!”
“We had a wonderful experience with our dog sitter while we were out of town. They took excellent care of our dog, kept us updated with messages and photos, and gave us peace of mind knowing she was in good hands. Our dog was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. We really appreciated their reliability, kindness, and attention to detail. We would absolutely trust them with our dog again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring and dependable pet sitter.”
“I really appreciate Mollie caring for our Teddy and making good judgement on when to walk him and for how long considering the heatwave the city was experiencing. I was also thankful for the updates and pictures throughout his stay. It was obvious Teddy was enjoying his time with Mollie and her family. I highly recommend Mollie!”
About: Your dog will have plenty of company, space, and attention while staying with me. My partner and I both work from home, so someone is around throughout the day. We have a fully fenced backyard for play, potty breaks, and exercise, plus two separate living areas for dogs to have their own space or be separated when needed. I have experience with puppies, seniors, and all kinds of personalities and energy levels. I’m comfortable with medications, feeding schedules, routines, and dogs who need extra care or patience. My dog, Hazey Mae, is very friendly and loves having new friends around. I always introduce dogs at their own pace and make sure everyone is comfortable. Whether your dog is playful, laid-back, or a little nervous, I’m patient, attentive, and want them to feel safe, comfortable, and at home while they’re with me. I work from home, and my partner does too, so there is almost always someone home throughout the day. Having dogs around fits naturally into our routine, and our own dog, Hazey Mae, is already part of our everyday schedule. Dogs get regular potty breaks, attention, playtime, and plenty of downtime. I’m available for boarding every day of the week and am happy to follow your dog’s usual routine, whether they’re active and playful or prefer a quieter, more relaxed day. Safety and comfort are my top priorities. I make sure dogs have a secure, comfortable environment with a fully fenced yard and separate spaces when needed. I introduce dogs slowly, pay attention to their body language, and always supervise them when they’re outside. I follow each owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, routines, and any special care their dog needs. I also make sure doors and gates are secure and take extra care to prevent dogs from getting out. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone, so communication is important to me. I’m happy to send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident knowing how your dog is doing while they’re with me.
“Shannon was great! Our pups loved her right off the bat. Shannon made our pups feel safe and comfortable right when we arrived. I would recommend Shannon to care for your pups. We will definitely use her services again.”
“Brianna went above and beyond to give our doggie a great experience! She was responsive and very caring. We are truly impressed and appreciated her support. Will recommend her for sure. Thanks Brianna!!”
“Steven was an absolutely wonderful pet sitter. My wife and I always have family house/pet sit when we go out of town, so leaving them with a sitter had us a bit anxious. During the meet and greet, Steven immediately put us at ease with his kindhearted and soft nature which made us confident in his ability to provide excellent care. While we were gone, steven provided updates with pictures every day, and we could see that they were happy, relaxed, and enjoying thier time with him. Steven was also very accommodating as far as drop offs and pick ups. We absolutely plan on entrusting steven with our pups again in the future. Thank you, Steven!”
“Narar was amazing to our Frenchie! She kept him super fresh and happy. Took him on a lot of walks. Sent me a lot of pictures to keep us updated which we loved. Our frenchie really enjoyed playing with her sweet dog Chichi. She is great I highly recommend her!”
“Sabrina was a wonderful foster mom to our two large dogs while we were out of the country for two weeks. As it turned out, the two week boarding was the first time our pups had stayed overnight with Sabrina. There was obvious anxiety on how it would work out, but Sabrina's daily contact with meaningful messages and studio-like photos quickly put those fears to rest. The insight she provided on our furry children highlighted the attention she was giving them, and also her ability to speak dog. Allowing us to bring our own XL kennels so our dogs could feel more at home was the first sign of her genuine concern for our dogs comfort. We have our dogs on special meal plans which she had no problem accommodating. By the end of our trip we were afraid the dogs wouldn't want to come home with us! I also appreciate her flexibility in allowing us to adjust drop off and pick up times on relatively short notice. I can't say enough on how wonderful it all turned out, I appreciate having connected with her and having her as our foster mom going forward.”
“Allycia was great taking care of Luna for couple of days. Very nice and easy to talk to. She sent us pictures and information daily. Definitely will book with Allycia again. Thank you Allycia!”
“Debra and her husband were great! They have truly made their home welcome to my Kiko. I was relieved to see photos of Kiko being himself sleeping everywhere including Debra’s lap. Would highly recommend and rebook again!”
