About: We are a pet-centered family. Fur babies have been at the heart of our home for over 20 years. We've rescued dogs and cats across various stages of life, some with special needs, and loved them well into their senior years. We provide personalized care, tailored to the specific needs of your pet. Whether it's adhering to the dietary requirements of their meals, administering medication, or modifying walks and play to accommodate any physical limitations or developmental needs. We’re conveniently located near 101, making for an easy drop off and pickup. Animals of all types tend to gravitate to me. I'm patient and playful. If they just need a calm presence to cuddle with or a buddy to play fetch and get their zoomies out, I adapt to the needs of your pet. Our home is filled to the brim with a love for pets and their care. My wife leads a community for pet parents and my daughter is a future vet who makes every animal she meets her best friend and desires to rescue as many she can. I'm a retired engineer and my wife works from home. Pets are family and our schedules are adjusted accordingly to ensure they are not alone. I love nature and giving pets the opportunity to relax and play where they feel the most comfortable. We can walk the park grounds right outside our door, relax on the deck, or snuggle on the couch. We can also hop in the Jeep and go exploring if they prefer. Every pet is different and my goal is to always meet them right where they are.

He’s a typical Jack Russell and his energy is unmatched- when I picked him up he was happy and cheerful like he was on vacation there :). Will def have Vincent stay with Jen and Stephanie again. Ten out of ten”
“Sheena took such good care of Mango. She went above and beyond most Rover hosts we have asked to take care of Mango in the past. She sent us so many videos and photos of Mango to us. Our Mango loved her kids and really enjoyed her time with them. In addition, it was a rainy day and Sheena washed and dried Mango’s sweater and also made sure Mango was dry from the rain. Would highly recommend and would book again.”

“Catherine took care of my senior dog Lovie this weekend while I was out of town for a funeral. She immediately made me feel comfortable leaving my little girl with her during this emotional time. She sent me pictures while I was gone, of my doggie on a walk and also of her sleeping peacefully. I would absolutely use her services again and will the next time I need it. I highly recommend her.”
“Steph was great with my dogs. She was flexible and understanding to my dogs individual needs. She is wonderful and very easy to work with! I look forward to booking with her again soon.”
“They were awesome, and I mean AWESOME! Nice safe space, fenced in yard, quiet neighborhood. I felt guilty taking back my dog from their kids, I could tell they gave my Ziggy so much love, and didn't want him to go even. Wonderful family, I will be back for sure.”
“Rachel took wonderful care of my dog Layla! She and her grandkids loved having Layla to play with and sleep with! They made sure she took her daily medicine and fed her twice a day and took her for walks too. She sent me photos of Layla and her activities and included texts with updates on how Layla was doing! I could tell that Layla had a good time with them because she was happy and well-rested when we brought her home.”
About: I have been a pet owner for 18 years and have provided pet-sitting services for friends and family for the past 2 years. I have experience caring for both cats and dogs, including administering medications. I am also experienced in providing attentive care for senior dogs and understand the patience and extra support they often require. I currently work for the school district so I am available all summer! After 18 wonderful years of life, my dog Sugie has passed on so your little one will have my full attention I have a fully fenced back yard and a short fence in the front yard that my chihuahua used to jump through before she became a senior.
“Lorri took amazing care of my dog while we were out of the country. She kept in regular contact with updates and really went above and beyond to make sure that Sierra was comfortable and healthy. Fantastic sitter!”
“Noemi was very good with Buster. He was in good hands with Noemi. I got frequent updates, and he got all the loving and care he needed. And as an added bonus, Noemi recommended a taco place near by that was a superb recommendation”

“My husband and I highly recommend Peggy. We have 2 cats, and one is very anxious and she ALWAYS runs away when people come over… but not when Peggy came over to meet them on Friday, before we left for our trip. I was shocked when Althea didn’t bolt, and she also got down from the top level of the cat tree and sat down in the living room to observe and listen as we talked with Peggy. 1st time, ever, so it was a direct response to Peggy’s calm and friendly energy We had to attend a friend’s wedding near San Diego, and felt very confident that our “kids” were in very capable hands. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED”

“Sierra (Kora) was very attentive to our dogs and cats. We didn't have any worry while we were away. She was very caring and communicative. She also sent pictures of our dogs every visit which we appreciated!”
“Alexis did a phenomenal job of caring for my two cats. She was accommodating of everything I asked and took great care of them. She sent plenty of updates each day to keep me posted on the status of their health and what silly shenanigans they got into. My house was as I left it, it was like I wasn't even gone. What a pleasure to work with her. I will definitely book her again in the future.”
About: Hello there! I have hands-on experience caring for a puppy for around two months, including helping with daily routines, potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and basic training. I also volunteered with PAWS for Reading, where I helped with reading dogs and learned the importance of patience, consistency, and making animals feel calm, comfortable, and supported. I’m dependable, attentive, and careful about following instructions, whether that means feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, or any special routine your pet needs. I’ll treat your pet with care, respect, and attention like they’re my own. I am currently available at any time that suits your schedule. Kindly go ahead and book an appointment with me, and I assure you that I will respond to your request in a timely manner. Your pet’s safety and comfort come first. I keep a clean, calm, and supervised environment, follow care instructions closely, and make sure pets have what they need throughout the day, including attention, routine, and gentle care.
“Richelle was so great with Darwin! She spent so much time with him that he didn’t even seem to miss us when we came back! He still had to suffer through all our kisses anyway.”
“I can't say enough good things about Victoria! I had to leave town for eight days, and my original sitter bailed last minute, so I was scrambling. Victoria stepped in on super short notice, and she went above and beyond in every way. Not only did she take excellent care of my cats, but she also vacuumed, cleaned the litter, and even checked on them an extra time to make sure they were okay (she seriously went above and beyond). It can be really nerve-wracking leaving your pets alone for so long, but Victoria made the whole experience so much easier. She’s hands down the best Rover sitter we’ve ever had in LA, and I’m so grateful for how thoughtful and reliable she was. Highly recommend!”
About: From a young age I would house sit for neighbors and would take care of their pets, whilst they were on vacation. I've taken care of older dogs that had special needs as well. I have been walking dogs for the past 5 years as a hobby, and as a way to stay healthy. When my friend's shoulder was dislocated I walked his Grey Wolf/Husky mix for him while he recovered. I am available most days, I have full availability on weekends, and late nights (10-11pm) all week for those dogs whom prefer cooler temperature walks. I am unable to host your dog at my home currently. I'm experienced in giving older dogs their medications including pills and Insulin. I can house sit and watch your pets while you are at work, on vacation, or even if it's just date night.
About: Cats have always been one of my favorite pets to have. They are so unique and their personalities are so diverse! I have done many drop-ins for people’s cats in the past, making sure to feed the, clean, change the litter, etc. I love getting to know people’s cats. I had a cat for 6 years who recently passed to cancer. He was my best friend and he meant the absolute world to me. I hope to continue giving my love to animals through these services!
“Kelsey was amazing! She stopped by the house to check in on my pregnant cat. I hired her based on her previous experience and fantastic reviews. She was also able to swing by on very short notice. Thank you, Kelsey!”
“Ali was so fantastic. She was communicative, fast responding, kept us updated with photos, went out of her way to meet us beforehand. Truly a great experience and can’t wait to, hopefully, use her service again!!”
About: I’ve been a dog owner for over 10 years now. Grew up with dogs, love training and taking care of them. I know all the basics of dog care. I’m only working part time, gives me plenty of extra time to take care of some pups! Super flexible and reliable. Just trying to make some extra income helping out! Taking care of the dog and home as if it’s my own, being clean and safe with the space. Making sure things are just as or better then I found it.
About: Ive taken care of many dogs over the years and have always had a dog in the household growing up! The first dog that I’ve ever had was a dog named Maggie. Maggie was an elderly pit bull and she came from an unloving home prior to my family taking her on when I was about 5 years old. She was not as disciplined as you’d like an older dog to be, so she would have accidents all across the house and do naughty things like eat food off your plate when you weren’t looking! Understanding the life she was living before, we saw it as an honor that she was willing to get in trouble for a little fun lol. We had so much patience with her and gave her as much love as we could while she was still with us. I will always have a soft spot for pit bulls. Onto the more recent experience I’ve had, I am constantly working with dogs. I have a couple of clients that I house sit/walk for that deal with young puppies. Puppies have lots of energy and need to be treated as such. You need to have a lot of patience and understanding. When dealing with puppies you are pretty much dealing with a baby so it’s important to understand the fact they are not trained as well as a middle aged dog. Another field of dog experience I have is big energetic dogs. I walk a malamute named Luna three days a week and it definitely takes effort to control her. You can trust that I am competent enough to handle big, energetic and stubborn dogs! All the while providing your fur baby with love and care as if they were my own. I do DoorDash and Instacart (gig apps) so I have a really relaxed availability when it comes to scheduling of walks, potty breaks, feeding, etc. I can/will provide any type of service for your pet that is needed/wanted, just let me know and I can do it! Even if I’m not sure how to do it I am a fast learner that can get things done efficiently.
About: We all know cats want to lord it over everyone! From feeding and cleaning up smelly things to cuddles and pets (on their terms, of course!), I provide premium in home cat care, and am ready to be your cat's personal staff while you're away. I'm comfortable giving medications (including shots), and doing light grooming (no trims). I'm available for everything from daily visits to overnight stays. I hope I can earn your trust by doing whatever I can do to keep your furry friend comfortable and stress-free during your absence.

“We are happy to have found Shelli to care for our senior dog Harold. Shelli was very patient and kind with him when we left him for his first visit. He seemed very calm and happy when we picked him up. We feel confident that Harold will be well cared for by Shelli and her family when we leave him to go out of town .”

“Jetta had the best time at daycare with Lorri and the "pack"! Lorri has excellent communication, sends updates, and really helps us feel comfortable knowing our girl is so well taken care of in our absence. We can't recommend her enough, thank you!”
“Cindy was so great with our two dogs! She sent lots of pictures and updates, and made them feel right at home. One of our dogs is shy around new people, but she opened up quickly to Cindy and was cuddling in her lap by the end of the visit. Her two golden retrievers were also really friendly with our dogs and got along great! Will definitely rebook with Cindy when we’re back in the area ?”
“Victoria is so lovely. You can tell she loves doing this. She took care of my baby so well, and they were playing with her babies. She sent me pics and updates and assured me Luna was in good hands.”
“We were very happy with Hersh and his care for our small dog Sophie. Sophie was calm and relaxed when we picker her up unlike a previous stay at a kennel for small dogs. Hersh sent us a picture of Sophie relaxing on the couch and I could tell she was enjoying herself and was content. Good job. We would definitely use Hersh again if we are traveling in the area.”
“Once again, I picked up my pup and he was worn out from playing all day, I recommend Alexandria to anyone who would like a sitter to treat their pet just like one of their own. She’s the most helpful when it comes to updating me on how my bud is doing throughout the day. Absolutely the best pet sitter around!”
“Kirsten was awesome! Both our dogs came home happy and got along well with her pup. She sent tons of photos during their stay and communicated well throughout. Will definitely be booking with Kirsten again.”
“Kelsey is my #1 go-to dog sitter. My clingy heeler is always so excited to visit her. He can smell her neighborhood from out of the window and he starts barking on our way down the street to her house. She is understanding, flexible, kind, and she genuinely loves dogs. She also understands heelers and herding breeds, which is a huge plus in my book. 100000% recommend her. I'm a paranoid dog owner and I'm very selective about all of the choices I make for him. I'm always at ease knowing he is with her.”
“We used Rachel for doggie daycare for the first time yesterday, and Mila had such a great time! She was able to hang out with Rachel’s dog, Robin, and her two cats, and it was clear she felt comfortable and happy. Rachel even texted us the cutest pictures of their interactions, which we absolutely loved. Thank you, Rachel, for taking such wonderful care of Mila. We will definitely be using your daycare services again in the near future and look forward to some training sessions as well!”
“Stefanie and Matt were quick to respond to my dog sitting request and were very communicative throughout the process. Additionally, their well-behaved dogs provided my dog, Oso, with a full day of fun. They also sent frequent pictures and videos to keep me updated. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for responsible, caring, and professional dog sitters.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all kinds since for the past 4 years. I stay over night, go on walks, feed, bathe, and have dealt with disabled dogs before. I even have experience with cats whom have needed to be feed and the litter box needed cleaning. My neighbors, family, friends, and even people who I’ve been recommended to have put their trust in me with their pets. The longest time I’ve pet sat was for two weeks and it was with two dogs that needed to take medication 2 times a day. I have even let sat for my neighbor who’s elderly Labrador dog’s two back legs don’t function correctly. I am prepared for anything and everything :) I am a full time student at the University of Southern California Monday-Thursday, but I have times where I don’t have classes. Just message me and majority of the time I will be free! Friday-Sunday I don’t have school and I am usually free the entire day. At home I have a 6 year old male Golden Retriever who needs to be walked and fed multiple times throughout the day. I love to spend time with my dog whether it’s lounging around or going on hikes/to the beach with him. At clients house, I usually tend to check in with the dogs throughout my day, stay overnight at the house, or even board them at my house. I make sure that they’re fed, let out to go potty, and even give them the love/attention they need.
About: I can walk the dogs in my neighborhood, i can feed them, bathe them if needed, and give medicine if needed. I love animals i have experience with dogs/cats because i have owned multiple throughout the years and i have volunteered at the Humane society of Ventura county which required me to walk, play, and comfort the dogs. I have taken care all of my family members dogs while they were on vacation and i truly enjoy caring for them. I have grown up rescuing lost dogs and helping them find their way back home. Please feel free to message me with questions you may have i want your pet to feel comfortable and loved when they are in my home! Pet care fits into my routine because i am a stay at home mom so i have time to give your pet all the attention he/she needs. I either crate the pet or let them roam freely in my home! I include walks and take them to the park to run. Unless otherwise requested not to. I follow full instructions the owner provides.
“Sara saved our trip! We were camping in the area and planned a day out at the Channel Islands NP (not dog-friendly). Our original doggy sitter canceled on us two days before and we scrambled to find someone last minute. It was a blessing in disguise. Sara is the absolute sweetest! Communication was excellent. She updated us throughout the day with photos and kept our girl busy with playtime, a walk, and a hike. She was able to administer medication too. I can’t say enough good things! Thank you, Sara!”

About: I really focus on making pets feel safe and at ease by sticking to their routines and respecting their personalities. I’m calm, patient, and very attentive. I treat every pet the way I’d want someone to treat mine: with consistency, affection, and respect for their space and needs. I’m home often and keep a consistent daily routine, so pet care fits in very naturally. I plan my day around feeding, walks, playtime, and quiet time, and I’m always mindful of sticking to a pet’s normal schedule so they feel comfortable and secure. I always want to make sure your pet sees me as a companion and not as an intruder. I treat your home and your pet with a lot of care and respect. I stick closely to your pet’s routine, make sure they feel comfortable and loved, and give them the right balance of play, affection, and calm time.
About: I love to make animals feel cared for and loved, i have some experience with puppies. Animals tend to feel comfortable around me. i’ve always been an animal person my whole life. I am currently trying to find jobs to save up for a car and to ultimately find my own place of living. I am not working any job as of right now so my schedule is pretty open. 11am-4pm are good times for me. I treat every animal with respect and care. nothing less. I am not looking to have any pets in the home i have right now because it’s not the best environment for a pet (as to why i am only looking for taking care of your pet/s inside your own home).

About: I’ve been taking care of exotic animals for about five years now in a zoo or sanctuary setting however within the past three years it has been specific to exotics cats such as tigers and lions. I have a deep passion for animals and find so much joy being able to help them in any way that I can. Not only did I work with exotics during that time but domestics as well such as dogs and cats and even on occasion rabbits. I have a lot of experience giving medications and dealing with difficult animals. I am excited for the opportunity and to help more animals! I’m currently working part time but my schedule is pretty flexible as long as I have enough of a notice, I can make it work anytime during the week! I have two boxers, a chihuahua and two cats at home and treat them as if they are my own kids (because they are) I will treat your babies the same! I believe that just because animals can’t speak for themselves doesn’t mean they don’t have a voice and I believe it is our job to take care of them to the best of our abilities and to be their voice. I have experience crating, giving medication, and with difficult dogs or cats. I can help in any way for your babies to make sure they feel safe and comfortable!
“Ariana has always done an amazing job taking care of our dogs, which is why we continue to book her services. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust their dogs with.”
“Vaida was great! She came the night before to meet the dogs and ensure they were comfortable with her. They definitely were--and they thoroughly enjoyed their walk with her the next day. Thanks Vaida! We look forward to seeing you again soon!”
About: Hi! I am a pet owner for over 14+ years. Cats, dogs, birds, rabbits, turtles, and fish, I’ve had them. I’m so happy to say that all have lived happy lives with so much care and love from family. Plus tons of my family members are vets so I’ve had the amazing opportunity to meet different animals and learn all about them. This allowed me to understand animals and cater to their needs rather than be confused and let them be. I’ve also taken care of 3 cats, 5 dogs, and 3 kids all at once, so I believe I’m pretty trustworthy and responsible haha. In my house, your animal is like my own and will be given all the love in the world. Regardless, I always put pets needs over mine because they are the special creatures in Life that need all the love and care they can get :)
About: Hello, my name is Chantal and I have always had a love for dogs and animals as a whole. As a kid I was raised in a home where we never once went without a dog in the home, so you could say I have a lifetime of experience with dogs. And as a fellow doggie parent I understand that the comfort of dogs always comes first. Though I don’t have career experience with pets, I have done dog sitting in the past for family friends which included a wide variety of breeds and different temperaments. Although I don’t have professional experience with dogs, I hope to give all dogs the same level of love and care that I have since I was a child. I currently work part-time in the evenings, which means I have most of the day to take care of my pets needs, including walks, feeding etc. As a dog walker I would love to offer that time to help take care of someone else’s pets needs for some good exercise and comfort. I currently live in a two bedroom apt with a balcony, but no backyard, so I always make sure to walk my own pets in a timely manner so they can have their potty breaks comfortably. I have access to a vehicle so I would apply this to any dog I visit to walk them, regardless of wether that live in an apartment, or a big house with a backyard.
“I have used Charisma a few times now and my boys absolutely love her. They get super excited when they see her. She’s able to walk both of my boys at the same time and they’re heavy pullers sometimes”
“Melissa is the best! I know Brutus is well taken care of and gets lots of loves when I have my long work days. She is reliable, personable and gives me a thorough update every time ❤️🥰”
About: I’ve been a dog owner for over 10 years now. Grew up with dogs, love training and taking care of them. I know all the basics of dog care.

“Chance is great! He always goes the extra mile to ensure your pet is happy and well cared for. Additionally, Chance is very knowledgeable, and he will instantly inform you when an unforeseen problem arises. He truly cares about your pets. I highly recommend his services.”

“Sheena took such good care of Mango. She went above and beyond most Rover hosts we have asked to take care of Mango in the past. She sent us so many videos and photos of Mango to us. Our Mango loved her kids and really enjoyed her time with them. In addition, it was a rainy day and Sheena washed and dried Mango’s sweater and also made sure Mango was dry from the rain. Would highly recommend and would book again.”

“Steph was great with my dogs. She was flexible and understanding to my dogs individual needs. She is wonderful and very easy to work with! I look forward to booking with her again soon.”
“They were awesome, and I mean AWESOME! Nice safe space, fenced in yard, quiet neighborhood. I felt guilty taking back my dog from their kids, I could tell they gave my Ziggy so much love, and didn't want him to go even. Wonderful family, I will be back for sure.”
“Lorri took amazing care of my dog while we were out of the country. She kept in regular contact with updates and really went above and beyond to make sure that Sierra was comfortable and healthy. Fantastic sitter!”
“Noemi was very good with Buster. He was in good hands with Noemi. I got frequent updates, and he got all the loving and care he needed. And as an added bonus, Noemi recommended a taco place near by that was a superb recommendation”
“I give Sara 10 stars. Read the other positive reviews. They are all true. Kiki-Sweet Girl has special needs. Sara keeps her feeling so happy and feeling safe. We did a sample one-night boarding and are continuing with weekly recurring daycare and with multiple night boarding when we travel. Kiki loves Sara so much. Kiki also loves Sara's pup, Casper. No only does Sara do magic with communications with dogs and people, but she has exceptional skills in getting doggies to listen to her and to try their best for her. You will not be disappointed if you get Sara to be one of your dog's special people.”
“We left our 4 1/2 year old GoldenDoodle for the first time with someone other than our breeders. Tiantian was Wonderful with Denali. Thank you Tiantian for taking such great care with our boy. Daryl and Susan”
About: I have over a decade of experience handling dogs of all shapes, sizes and needs. Specializing in active pullers, rescues, and reactive dogs. I am comfortable and proficient with a variety of training equipment to fit your dogs needs and your specific training protocols. By scanning the environment for triggers and monitoring your dog's body language I'm able to ensure a safe calm experience. Every dog deserves a chance to get the mental and physical stimulation they need to thrive. Dividing my time between dog training and volunteering at a local animal shelter let's me set my own schedule. Looking for extra dogs to walk to make up for the miles I can no longer put in with my senior Malinois. I have a securely fenced private yard for your dogs to play and multiple dog crates to provide each dog a secure place to rest. Leon my 10 yr old Malinois provides a calmly reassuring energy that helps guest dogs settle in.
About: Hi! We’re a dog-loving family offering a safe, loving home for your doggy. We have a one-year-old French Bulldog, Gigi, who would love a playful companion—that’s why we started offering boarding! We work from home with flexible schedules so your dog will get plenty of attention, care, and supervision. We have a secure, fenced backyard for safe outdoor time, and a clean, comfortable home where your dog can relax and feel at ease. We live close to a park and would love for your dog to join us on our daily evening walks. We have many years of experience as dog owners and understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. We’re a great fit for small to medium, friendly dogs who enjoy playing and being around other dogs and children. We can only consider dogs that are non-aggressive and great with other dogs and children. Please communicate with us about your pets needs and we’d be happy to accommodate. We’d love to care for your doggy like our own! We both work from home with flexible schedules, so your dog will get plenty of attention, supervision, and love throughout the day. We are available to board weekdays and weekends and over holidays. We have a fenced backyard and a French bulldog who loves company. Our doggy sleeps inside and has the option to play outside or hang out inside during the day. We take daily evening walks around the neighborhood or to the nearby park.
“Alexandrea was great, she was so helpful and reassuring to me and provided a safe and comfy stay for my kitty while I was gone for the week :-) will definitely rebook if I’m ever on vacation again!”
“This was my first rover experience, and I was very happy with how it turned out! Layla sent updates & pictures of Koda and followed our precise instruction for his medication regimen. I would highly recommend Layla!”
“Ruby loves staying with Momo, Bethany and Siddhartha! They always take such good care of her- this last time she came down with an ear infection the day I was due to drop her off. They helped administer her medication and took great care of her. Ruby has so much fun she sleeps for days after coming home ☺️”
“Todd and Rona did an amazing job with Philly! They cared for him like he was their own pup. We had a great experience from our meet and greet to drop off and pick up. Philly got along great with the other dogs there too, and loved their backyard. He came home tired and happy which was perfect. I would highly recommend them as sitters and know we will rebook with them when we’re in the area in the future.”
“Daniela and her family were great with Misty. She was truly a lifesaver helping me on Thanksgiving when I discovered at the last minute that I was unable to bring my dog. Thank you for your care!”
