“Dan was fantastic with Nancy. I was nervous about her staying with other dogs but he is seasoned and has the feeding already worked out. She had a blast and came home happy. Will definitely book with Dan again!”
“Henry was happy at Jane's resident. He got along well with her, her dog and family. Her husband gave Henry special attention at night because Henry did not want to be in a separate room at night so he slept in same room as Henry. Jane has a yard that Henry enjoyed with her dog. Jane and her husband were sweet and we did a meet and greet before drop off. Jane was able to take care of Henry's special diet restrictions. I would use Jane again:)”
“Lily was great! I felt very comfortable leaving our dog with her! She also accommodated our travel schedule which was very helpful! Loved receiving photos and video as well! Thank you and we will book again!”
“Irina is a very sweet and responsible lady.. We respect the way she treated us and loved the way she treated Brownie.. and her family is great. They are an asset to any pets comfort. We could tell from the pictures he was HAPPY AND RELAXED. See you next month. Thanks”
“Lisa, Trevor and Nathan are by far Albie’s favorite rover. They take such good care of him and he gets so excited to see them when I drop him off. They are always my first choice when I have to go out of town. Thanks for always taking such good care of my pup!!”
“I was so happy with how great of a job they did in taking care of my 3 dogs. They sent me daily pictures and kept me informed on how they are doing. I felt comfortable, secure and delighted that my doggies were so well attended to. To quote my little nephew.... "You're the bestest!"”
“I boarded my dog, Louie, for the weekend with Shu (Lily) & Jonathan. The experience was great! Lily was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about my dog Louie. I appreciated the updates and the peace of mind while I was away. I’d absolutely recommend Shu (Lily) & Jonathan for all your pet care needs and would gladly book again!”
“Bianca did a great job watching our dog Greg. The communication was great throughout and there were lots of updates. I’m so glad our pups got along well and Greg was well taken care of.”
About: I have pets of my own. I see pets as part of family so the care I provide is same as for my fuzzy love bugs, lots of luv and snuggles and maybe some extra treats if permitted ;) I know what’s it like to be away from your fuzzy friends so I will provide regular updates if you wish so. Available on weekdays/ weekends- mostly flexible schedule. Can stay overnight if needed, available on holidays. Can stop by for short time to check on your pets, play with them and feed them. I am available to stop by, walk/feed and care for your dogs or cats. I am also available to stay overnight if you are traveling and need full time care for your pets.
“Mushu felt instant trust in David’s care. Within an hour from drop off, I received a photo of Mushu sleeping belly up putting my mind at ease knowing he felt comfortable and secure ahead of his weekend stay. Thank you so much for caring for Mushu and Mushu thanks you for all the belly rubs! Highly recommend!”
“Chrystle was so amazing with my dog! She was so warm and friendly, so I immediately felt comfortable booking with her. She even met with us a few days before my trip to meet my pup and let him sniff around the place, so it would feel familiar when he stayed. She kept me updated with pictures, and even kept him an extra night when my return flight was delayed! This was my first experience with Rover and Chrystle made it perfect!”
“Yulia has been so amazing to us and our little pup. She dedicated so much time getting to know Poppy, learning about her sleep, walk, and eating cycles. And she gave us so many updates and pictures while we were on our trip. Yulia was even very understanding when our flights got delayed and we were very late from our scheduled pick up. She was happy to accommodate this unforseen challenge and made us feel so relieved knowing Poppy was in good hands. Thank you, Yulia, for being such a great sitter and friend to Poppy!”
“Katrina has taken care of my elderly dog for two weeks while I was on an Asia trip. She was the best person for my dog to look after - kept up with the consistent communication, checked up on his health, and gave him the best walks. When I picked up my dog, he looked SO happy and even looked better!! My dog currently misses her after we left so I need to book her again soon!! 😂”
“Marc and Lori were so wonderful to my Freddie. It was the perfect home away from home. They kept me updated with lots of fun photos, they are extremely responsive and even sent Freddie home with Christmas presents. I would highly recommend!’”
“I can’t say enough wonderful things. Mac loves staying with Sang. She is truly exceptional—someone who not only loves my dog but cares for him as if he were her own. Every time I leave him in her care, I know he’s in the best hands possible. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a loving, responsible, and trustworthy sitter!”
“Leah was fantastic, we couldn't have found anyone better. She is knowledgeable, professional and easy to deal with. Highly recommended for anyone and everyone.”
“Jonalyn was amazing! She updated us with photos through out the stay. Ace had to best time on his pack walks and got a lot of exercise. I would highly recommend Jonalyn to anyone and we will absolutely be back!”

“I couldn’t ask for a better cat sitter than Mindy! She went over and beyond taking care of my cat while I was away. I booked relatively last minute and had a few late adjustments to my travel plans but Mindy was very understanding and flexible. She provided plenty of updates during her visits and I could tell she genuinely cared about my cat’s well-being. I had a great experience with Mindy and would absolutely recommend her to others!”
About: I very much enjoy caring for cats. I think I’m good about reading their attitudes and mannerisms. I’ve tried to stay up on general info about their behaviors, what they could like and what they couldn’t.
“Shay is the best cat sitter and house sitter anyone could ask for. My husband and I traveled for 9 days for our destination wedding. Before the trip, we were so worried about one of our cats being sick and might have ER situation anytime. So we asked Shay to drop in visit to pill the cat everyday for 9 days, and sleepover every night. Shay was not only on time everyday but also made each pilling comfortable for the cat. Besides taking care of the sick cat, Shay made sure our two cats were taken good care of all around! 🐱💕 Shay also makes the most detailed report cards, every time when we receive her report cards, it feels like we are just right by our cats. All the details and photos made carefully by Shay put us at ease during our stressful wedding week. Knowing that our cats were under Shay’s care, we definitely felt relieved. My two cats loved Shay too! I could see that they three had great time together when we were away- play time, cuddle time, and sleepover…etc. I know my cats miss Shay 🥹 Ever since our older cat was diagnosed with CHF 6 months ago, we were so reluctant to travel or even leave the house (pilling schedule). But now, we found Shay, a trustworthy and reliable cat sitter. Will book her from now on when we travel! 🩵 Thank you Shay!”
“Madeline was great, very flexible. Furls got his meds, food and pets while we were gone. She met with us twice before we left to accommodate us in planning. Seems very sweet! Will definitely book with her again.”
About: I’ve had a love for animals for as long as I can remember. As a little kid, I would spend hours at my aunt’s house playing with her dogs — my mom would even have to come call me so I’d finally go home! Growing up, I had many different types of pets, but the one thing I always dreamed of having was a dog of my own. I begged my parents for years, and when I finally got my first dog at 13 years old, he instantly became my whole world. From a very young age, I was always the person friends and family trusted with their pets. I watched a friend’s cat while they were away and even cared for my school’s bunny for an entire day! Later on, when I moved to Sydney, Australia, I volunteered at an animal rescue center and spent the next 10 years pet sitting for both dogs and cats — something I truly loved and felt very passionate about. I have experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, from energetic puppies and kittens to sweet senior dogs who need extra patience and attention. I recently lost my own beloved senior dog, so I deeply understand the gentle, specialized care, and massive amount of love older pets need in their golden years. Because of this, I’m incredibly comfortable monitoring their comfort, administering medication, and making sure they feel entirely safe and relaxed while you are away. Caring for animals has always come naturally to me, and I treat every pet with the same love, patience, and attention I would give my own. <3 Since I’m currently home full-time, I have a super flexible schedule with plenty of open availability Monday through Sunday, so I can easily fit into your pet's regular daily routine without a problem. Whether you need a consistent daily walker while you're at work, or last-minute drop-in visits because something popped up, I’m around and ready to step in whenever you need an extra hand." In Your Home: When I come by for drop-ins or to pick up your dog, I treat your home with total respect. I always make sure doors are securely locked, keys are safely stored, and your home is exactly how you left it. Plus, I love giving cats and dogs lots of love, refreshing their water, and making sure they are comfy before I leave. Out on Walks: Safety is everything when we are out on an adventure. I always keep dogs securely on-leash, stay highly aware of our surroundings, and steer clear of any unpredictable situations or unfamiliar dogs. Keeping You Posted: I know how hard it is to be away, so I always send a quick update and some cute photos during or right after my visit. You'll never have to wonder how they are doing!
About: We are totally comfortable taking care of any and all of a kitty's needs, from playtime, to litterbox cleaning, to feeding them tasty food. Let us know what your kid needs, and we can do it!
“Jacquie was wonderful!! Very communicative, and such a big help. My cat immediately was comfortable with her and it seemed like they had a good time together! Will be rebooking and highly recommend her with any furry friend.”
“Lilit is simply amazing- highly recommended. She has out most care and attention to details and a passionate care for the pets. Thank you again for taking care and bonding with Koby & Toby- they are looking forward to the next booking already!”
“My cats love Krista! She always shows up with toys for them to play with and makes sure to give them all the attention they need. She’s great about staying in touch with you while you’re away, and sends lots of cute pictures.”
About: Hi! Ive owned two very sweet pitbulls and grew up around dogs and cats my whole life. i currently live with my girlfriend and her two sweet cats. i have access to transportation and am very reliable and easy going. im a very loving and gentle person with a soft spot for animals, and id love to take great care of yours. I’m in college online so i have plenty of free time available, and i care for my girlfriends cats daily while she’s at work. =] i have experience with all breeds and temperaments, and can easily walk large, strong dogs. i trained and played with all the dogs in my house growing up and was trusted with my neighbor’s dogs and home often as a teenager.
“Paula was great! She communicated very well and did exactly what we needed. I can tell she connected with my kitty, which is so important to me :) I would definitely book Paula again!”
About: I’ve only recently adopted a cat of my own but have attended multiple cat behavioralist meetings over the years to learn more about caring for her. I now understand a lot about their behavior, not pushing them to any limits, how they can get overwhelmed and try my best to be a calm presence for them.
About: Cats have been part of my life since before I could walk — I was raised alongside two Ragdoll cats as a baby, and by kindergarten I had my own pure breed Maine Coon, Izzy, alongside two more Maine Coons in the house. I understand that cats are independent on their own terms and that good cat care means reading the room — knowing when your cat wants company, when they want play, and when they simply want to be left in peace. I'm attentive to the subtle ways cats communicate and will never force interaction on an animal that isn't seeking it. I have been present for every stage of a cat's life, from kitten energy to the quieter needs of older cats, and I take that responsibility seriously. Your cat will have a calm, familiar-feeling environment, daily photos and updates, and someone who genuinely loves their company.
“Corey was great! He took care of our babies so well. Got lots of pictures of the snuggles, updates throughout our visit, and great communication. Will definitely be booking him again!”
About: I’ve had cats my entire life, starting with finding my first cat as a stray, which sparked my love for caring for them. I also have hand on experience bottle feeding kittens and caring for young or more sensitive cats who need extra attention and patience. I’m currently a zookeeper in training at The Teaching Zoo at Moorpark College, where I work hands on with a variety of animals and focus on behavior, body language, and proper care. Through my training experience, I’ve worked with a range of species, including a tiger, a blind raven, a squirrel monkey, armadillo, and many more which has strengthened my ability to read behavior, build trust, and stay calm in different situations. I understand feline body language and respect their boundaries, which helps me build trust, especially with shy or nervous cats. I’m attentive to routines like feeding schedules, litter box care, play, and enrichment, and I always aim to create a calm, safe environment while you’re away. I’m also comfortable monitoring behavior changes and keeping a close eye on appetite, litter habits, and overall well-being. Thanks so much for checking me out! I hope to meet you and your cat🐱!

About: I treat every pet like they’re my own, paying attention to their unique personality, habits, and comfort needs so they feel safe, understood, and relaxed while you’re away. I am currently working remote which allow me to be home . I have a baby who is 2 years old. He is a maltipoo. I maintain a secure, reliable environment with clear routines, constant supervision, and genuine care to ensure your pet’s safety and comfort. My priority is their comfort.
“Jonalyn was fantastic with my dog! She sent so many photos and kept Mocha busy and got her tired, which is hard to do. Mocha is usually nervously reluctant to separate from me, but every time we went to Jonalyn's, she got so excited. Definitely booking again!”
About: I grew up surrounded by animals from the very beginning — literally. Two Ragdoll cats looked after me as a baby, and by kindergarten I was raising my own Maine Coon, Izzy, alongside two other Maine Coons and a Bernese Mountain Dog named Lulu. My parents taught me early that caring for animals means paying close attention to what each one needs in any given moment, and that lesson has stayed with me. Later, when my Mom adopted a Dachshund puppy, I learned firsthand how differently smaller breeds think, move, and communicate — and how much you have to adapt your approach to meet them where they are. Every pet I have cared for I have been with for their entire life, which means I understand the real differences between caring for a senior dog and a younger one, and take that responsibility seriously. Currently I live in a house without any pets of my own so I can provide my undivided attention to your pet. My apartment issurrounded by great walking trails and am happy to take your pet out whenever they feel like it — I love a long neighbourhood walk as much as they do. I take one pet at a time so your animal always has my full attention, and I'll send you daily photos and updates every step of the way. Whether your pet wants to play, explore, or simply curl up somewhere quiet, I'll follow their lead and make sure they feel completely at home. While I am new to professional pet sitting, I have over 20 years of personal experience caring for cats and dogs of multiple breeds. Feel free to reach out to let me know how I can best serve your pet! I am a recent graduate and freelance filmmaker who works from home, which means I am available and present throughout the day, every day. My weekly schedule is genuinely flexible — I am fully available Monday through Sunday. The rest of my time is spent working from my computer at home, responding to emails, editing, and working on grant submissions, so your pet will never be alone for long stretches. In the afternoons I go for a run through the neighbourhood trails surrounding my building — for high-energy dogs, this is a fantastic opportunity to get out, burn some energy, and really stretch their legs. Evenings are quiet and relaxed at home, which means your pet has calm, consistent company right through the night. I take one pet at a time and accept no other visits or bookings during that period, so whoever is in my care always has my full and undivided attention. I live in an explicitly pet-friendly apartment building with a large living room that gets plenty of natural light — a calm, comfortable space for any animal to settle into. I work from home, so I am present and attentive throughout the day and will always be available to respond to whatever your pet needs in any given moment, whether that's a walk, some playtime, or simply quiet company nearby. I have a car and am able to transport your pet if needed, including in the event of an emergency. I believe strongly in letting animals set the pace — I will never force interaction and will always give your pet the space they need to feel safe and comfortable. I live with a roommate who is typically out of the house during the day at work, so your pet will generally have a calm, low-traffic environment. He is very comfortable around animals and completely supportive of the arrangement. I take one pet at a time and do not accept any other visits or drop-ins during a booking, so your animal never has to share the space or my attention with another pet. For cats, I have a litter box, scratcher, and toys available. For dogs, I have great walking trails immediately surrounding my building and am happy to take them out as often as they like — and for high-energy breeds, my afternoon runs are an excellent outlet. I also offer drop-in visits at your home, doggy daycare, and house sitting for owners who would prefer their pet stay in their own familiar surroundings. I will send daily photos and updates throughout any booking so you always know exactly how your pet is doing, and I am reachable by phone or message throughout the day.
“Margarita was great! Very reassuring, responsive, and sent updates! She was sweet and patient with my dog Potato who has separation anxiety. She fed him dinner and took him for a little walk when needed. Would book again! Thanks!”
About: I live in an 800sq ft 1 bedroom apartment. I usually keep cats in the bedroom and dogs in the living room or whatever works. If you are not ok with that, please confirm with me if I am boarding any other pets. Not spayed pets are ok and I make sure there is nothing to worry about. I absolutely love pets and even after they come back to their actual home, I still look for them around my apartment. They also get used to me very quickly because I give them a lot of attention and play time. Once a friend asked me to take care of their pet, and that’s when it all started. So I have been taking care of pets professionally for the past 2 years and it has been a real pleasure for me. In my life, I have had 10 cats and 2 dogs (German Shepherd) so I know how to act in any situation, even emergency. I have experience with pets that have separation anxiety. I am strong and can handle even the wildest creatures and treat them gently even if they misbehave. I do not raise my voice and I do not have any strict rules. I won't keep your pet like in a "prison cell". Playing with pets is one of my most favorite things to do. I also love running and if requested, I can take your pup for some physical activity in a park. I always stop and look around before I cross the street and never cross on red light. I love taking photos of pets and if you would like, I can send you photos of them daily. I do not have experience in grooming but I will be happy to give your pet a bath so it's clean and fresh when you pick it up. The most important to me is to create a safe and loving environment for your best friend so you can have peace of mind while you are away. I come from Poland and I am a Polish/American citizen. I am currently a nursing student at LA City College. Most of my classes are online so I spend 70% of my time at home. I have a surveillance camera in my apartment to check on pets and talk to them while I am gone. I do have toys, balls, food bowls, dog and cat beds, and cat scratchers. I can also provide my own litter box (your own litter is preferred). I am a trustworthy and responsible person. Your pet is the most important when it is in my hands. I live in a peaceful neighborhood with a lot of greenery to take dogs on walks. I have no strict rules around my house. I don't mind having your pet on my furniture or have it sleep with me (unless you're not ok with that). I never ever lock pets in the bathroom or cage, or even in the darkness alone. I always leave a small light on. Also, if it is hot/cold outside, I make sure to keep comfortable temperature inside. Kitties love my portable heaters! Also, I have a Sony camera which I use to take pretty pictures of the little ones (if interested, let me know).
“Jade is awesome! She was communicative and flexible which helped ease the anxiety of leaving our dearest Ramsey with a sitter. The pictures from her updates spoke for themselves. Our boy absolutely adored her! If you’re in need of a sitter in the LA area, you cannot go wrong with Jade! We will definitely be booking with her again when we are in the area.”
About: Trust your beloved pets to a mature, responsible adult. I enjoy a loyal following of repeat clientele because my clients understand that I can be trusted both with their beloved pets and with their homes. I am a successful business owner and I work out of my home, in close proximity to downtown Glendale, CA. Please Note: We can only accept one dog per visit. Each visiting dog may arrive with a bed, blanket, toys or anything else you think necessary for them to enjoy a sense of stability and security. Each day, we'll send updates, pictures and videos to assure you that all is well with your pet. Being away from a home can be a stressful situation for any pet, and we do our best to keep your pet calm and comfortable during their stay.
About: Having worked with dogs of all ages and breeds for over ten years both in Canada and Alaska, i can say with absolution that your dogs will be in the best of care. Being my full time chosen field, i am home with your pets. I firmly believe in getting the dogs out and exposed to the great outdoors as much as they are willing to allow me. I am a highly active woman conveniently located by several trailheads and griffith park. We have a large closed in backyard with many trees providing shade. Given the many years i have been doing this, i can provide you with several excellent references from clients both here in California as well as Alaska. I look forward to given you peace of mind knowing your dogs are in great hands. I do not have any other employment other than dog walks that i provide. I am a full time stay at home dog care provider. I have a fenced yard with ample shade provided by trees. As well i have a very friendly and active 6 year old male golden retriever.
“Audrey was super communicative and kind, her pup is adorable and very friendly, and he and Ivy got along so well! Will definitely reach out for future bookings :)”
About: Chapman university! Hoping to go to veterinary school when I graduate. Biology major. OC animal shelter volunteer with over 200+ hours of experience walking the dogs. Trying to get more hours with dogs and am currently in college and stayed in the area to continue to volunteer at the animal shelter. The majority of my time is spent there walking dogs and when I’m not walking dogs there I usually am on a walk around Anaheim and Orange. In preparation for working at the animal shelter and vet clinic I have learned many different skills to take care of your dog properly. I have learned how to read body language, and have experience with different dogs reactive and non reactive dogs as well
“Tara is the absolute best! We came home with a brand new puppy and of course our return to work schedules changed. Tara was a life saver and watched Stevie for a couple months. Stevie had so much fun at Tara’s and came home nice and tired. Tara is an amazing communicator and I really appreciated all the daily photos, videos and end of day update cards. My family and I HIGHLY recommend Tara! She’s amazing!!!!”
About: Attentive, loving, professional care for your pet! Thank you for supporting a local pet professional! I love what I do and take pride in providing the best care for you and your furry family. It’s a joy to see that appreciation reflected in my clients. Since Rover increased fees for sitters to 25%, I won’t be able to reduce my rates anymore on the app! Thank you for understanding. A bit more about me: My name is Jess; I’m 33 years old and have a deep love for animals. I started doing Rover in 2017 with my sister Lindsay in Portland, OR and had wonderful experiences with many different clients and their pets. Since moving to LA, I’ve continued pet care here on my own since 2021. I grew up with a German Shepherd named Maiya and two Golden Retrievers, Annie and Kodi. I have experience with small and big dogs alike (including puppies), as well as cats, guinea pigs, and ferrets. I’ve volunteered with the Northeast Animal Shelter, which included assist with daily feeding, walks, and socialization. I have basic experience with lead training and socialization for dogs and puppies. A few things I’d like to emphasize about myself; firstly, I appreciate the level of trust that you are extending to me as a pet care professional and mirror it in my actions as a responsible caregiver; I understand that a pet is a part of your family and do my best to treat them as my own. I adore any and all canines, so that comes naturally for me as well! Secondly, I know that traveling can be stressful and want to make it easier on you. I communicate as much as desired so you can be rest assured that your beloved pet is in safe hands. For house sits, I’m also happy to do any basic home needs while you’re away, such as bringing in the mail or taking out the trash. For boarding, your pups will stay with us in our condo (two flights of stairs) with my husband and our roommate who both love dogs. While they’re around most of the time (which is nice if I have to step out for a minute) I am the primary care giver for your animals and will be attentive and on top of their needs. Rest assured, they’re in good hands! Thank you for taking the time to read through my profile. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! I incorporate pet care into my daily life and work schedule. I am a grad student and freelance graphic designer, which means I have a lot of freedom and flexibility to work around your pet’s schedule. During a stay, I may need to periodically leave the house to go to client meetings/class, but spend the majority of the day working remotely at home. Above all, I ensure your pets are getting the best care and attention they deserve while in my care. When I lived with a roommate who has two huskies, we made sure they got plenty of exercise, affection and playtime (without it huskies are a handful!) I believe a morning and evening walk along with adequate playtime and affection during the day is key to your pup’s wellbeing and peace of mind. Of course, if you have a pre-determined schedule for your pets, I will try to align myself with those routines to the best of my ability.
“Iris is such a God send and I am so thankful that I found her! I immediately felt comfortable with leaving Brunello and she sent pictures throughout the day! I have already booked her for more days of daycare.”
“Awesome spur of the moment stay. Daria’s can-do attitude and multiple photos throughout the visit allowed us to enjoy our time away without worries. We will look no farther for the perfect petsitter the next time we visit Glendale…we found Daria!!! Many thanks from Chula Cholula’s family 💗”
“Jennifer took amazing care of our puppy! They sent us updates and pictures throughout the day and it was clear how comfortable they made her feel :) will definitely be requesting help again!!”

“Highly recommend Mindy for looking after your fur babies! She’s detail oriented, great about following routines, and genuinely loves animals. Whenever we leave our cat and dog at home with her, I trust that she’s going to look after them as if they’re her own. Thanks Mindy (:”
“Justine was great! My pups are usually pretty skiddish but they got comfortable with her pretty quickly which put me at ease. She was very patient with my high anxiety pup and had no problem walking with her. I'm looking forward to booking her again!”

About: I’ve been around animals since I was 5, so I’m comfortable with animals of almost every shape and size. I’ve done volunteer work helping stray dogs find safety, and currently volunteer at a local animal shelter where I clean up after and interact with animals of almost variety of temperaments. Whatever your pet’s needs, I’ll give them the care and safety they deserve! I currently work under a flexible schedule so I am available both weekends and weekdays for dog walking, check-ins, and pet sitting. I only need one day’s notice for low-intensity interactions, and a week’s notice for overnight sitting. I am attentive to your pet’s body language and any of their other needs. I can handle smaller animals safely when needed, and will keep your dogs on safe paths when walking.
“Paula is amazing! She has such a kind, gentle presence. My little pug loved her instantly, and was sad to see her go. This is a top notch animal lover, highly recommend!!”
About: Growing up in the farmlands of Sweden, I took care of all kinds of animals from a young age. My mother was a dog agility trainer and I learned a lot from her over the years! I have a husky greyhound rescue of my own that also taught me a lot about training pups (leash aggression, commands, etc.). I also have a cat so I am well versed in how to handle a multiple pet household! My schedule is open so I have availability to work around your schedule and happy to accommodate to be able to spend time and care for your pets! Routine is crucial so assessing the needs with the owner is the best place to start! Happy to give recommendations as well. I want both you and your pet to feel comfortable and happy! I will treat your pets as if they were my own - assisting with walking, training, resting, eating, etc.
About: I’ve always had pets of my own and have been caring for animals for family, friends, and neighbors for as long as I can remember. I’m experienced with kittens, adult pets, and senior or medically complex animals, including providing around-the-clock hospice care for my own beloved cat after his ataxia diagnosis. I currently share my home with Leon, my one-year-old cat, and Chicken, my 26+ year-old African Grey parrot—both rescues (Chicken was found abandoned and taken in) and very loved. I love caring for pets—cats, dogs, and birds of all types and sizes—and I’m happy to welcome other small animals too, just let me know! I treat every pet with patience, attention, and affection, and I’m happy to provide updates and photos for peace of mind. I work from home and my schedule is flexible. My goal is always to schedule any services based on the needs of you and your pet(s). I will always follow any instructions on how you prefer your pet to be cared for. Otherwise, I will always care for them in the safest and healthiest way available. The same way I care for my own pets. Leon is an indoor kitty with unlimited access to fresh air and sunshine from his lounging cots attached to our large windows. He loves his wet food, and his meals are on a “flexible” schedule, and no all day grazing. He receives lots of playtime with his humans and more independently. Of course, he gets brushed, not always with a happy purr, but he gets as much as he will tolerate.
“First time using Rover and we couldn’t be more happy with our walking duo of Oliver and Wen Chun! They were super communicative throughout the entire process and took so many photos which we really appreciated. We will absolutely be rebooking!”
About: I’m currently a zookeeper in training at the Teaching Zoo at Moorpark College, graduating this May with an associate’s degree. I work hands on with both exotic and domestic animals, learning about behavior, body language, and proper handling. This experience helps me stay calm, patient, and attentive with every pet I work with. Through my training experience, I’ve worked with a variety of species, including a tiger, a blind raven, a squirrel monkey, an armadillo, and many more which has strengthened my understanding of behavior, patience, and building trust with different personalities. I also had the opportunity to briefly volunteer with Guide Dogs for the Blind, where I assisted with kennel cleaning, daily walks, feeding, and enrichment for dogs of various personalities. My animal care experience includes feeding, administering medications, cleaning enclosures, providing enrichment, walking animals, and maintaining consistent daily routines. I’m comfortable with energetic dogs, as well as shy or anxious personalities, and I’m confident following specific routines like feeding schedules, walks, and enrichment. I always focus on making pets feel safe, understood, and genuinely cared for while their owners are away Thanks for checking me out! I’d love to meet you and your pet! 😊 My schedule is currently very flexible! I am finishing up my program at The Teaching Zoo at Moorpark College and graduating real soon! This allows me to dedicate consistent, focused time to pet care rather than rushing through visits. I am available on the weekends for drop-in visits and walks, and I'm specifically focusing on providing reliable daytime care. I am currently not offering boarding or weekend services, as I want to make sure I can give each pet my full attention and consistency during the week :) I always prioritize making pets feel safe, comfortable, and understood. I take the time to learn each pets personality, routine, and any specific needs before starting care. Through my background working with animals, I’m very familiar with reading body language and handling different temperaments calmly, whether that’s an energetic dog or a more shy or nervous pet. I’m also comfortable following detailed instructions and administering medications if needed. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and keep everything as close to their normal routine as possible. I stay attentive during walks, make sure doors and leashes are secure, and focus on creating a low stress, safe environment. I also enjoy sending updates and photos so you can feel reassured while you’re away! That's always my favorite part :)

I have taken in many animals over the years and love for them like my own. The positive thing about working from home is that the dogs are rarely alone.

I am home all day working from my computer, and will bring your pets out every few hours and play with them throughout the day. I work from home and am there with them all day. I am very active so I do take a lot of walks with your dogs and can also bring them to the park if you’d like! I have a 3 bedroom apartment and your pets are free to roam in all areas. On walks, they will be on a leash at all times and I typically walk away from other people/pets so that there is no potential problem.

About: I have experience with many animals from goats to horses, but dogs have always been my favorite! I started my own dog sitting business in my neighborhood when I was 12 years old because my parents would never let me have my own. And now that I am an adult my apartment won't allow dogs. So this is the best way for me to get some pooch loving! Looking forward to meeting you and your pets! I already love going for walks before and after work and I would love to have some company! Fridays-Sundays can be dedicated just to your pet. I am a mature and dependable individual that will take good care of your home as well. I am mindful of all the little details, like collecting the mail and watering the plants.

“Henry was happy at Jane's resident. He got along well with her, her dog and family. Her husband gave Henry special attention at night because Henry did not want to be in a separate room at night so he slept in same room as Henry. Jane has a yard that Henry enjoyed with her dog. Jane and her husband were sweet and we did a meet and greet before drop off. Jane was able to take care of Henry's special diet restrictions. I would use Jane again:)”
“Lily was great! I felt very comfortable leaving our dog with her! She also accommodated our travel schedule which was very helpful! Loved receiving photos and video as well! Thank you and we will book again!”
“I boarded my dog, Louie, for the weekend with Shu (Lily) & Jonathan. The experience was great! Lily was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about my dog Louie. I appreciated the updates and the peace of mind while I was away. I’d absolutely recommend Shu (Lily) & Jonathan for all your pet care needs and would gladly book again!”
“Bianca did a great job watching our dog Greg. The communication was great throughout and there were lots of updates. I’m so glad our pups got along well and Greg was well taken care of.”
“Chrystle was so amazing with my dog! She was so warm and friendly, so I immediately felt comfortable booking with her. She even met with us a few days before my trip to meet my pup and let him sniff around the place, so it would feel familiar when he stayed. She kept me updated with pictures, and even kept him an extra night when my return flight was delayed! This was my first experience with Rover and Chrystle made it perfect!”
“I can’t say enough wonderful things. Mac loves staying with Sang. She is truly exceptional—someone who not only loves my dog but cares for him as if he were her own. Every time I leave him in her care, I know he’s in the best hands possible. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a loving, responsible, and trustworthy sitter!”
“Leah was fantastic, we couldn't have found anyone better. She is knowledgeable, professional and easy to deal with. Highly recommended for anyone and everyone.”
“There are not enough characters to put into words about what an amazing boarding experience I had with Yvonne. She offered a worry free care filled boarding experience for my dog. From the initial meet and greet and her interaction with Isabella, I knew I was dealing with a professional who loves dogs and provides attention to detail in every aspect of care. Her daily photos and updates bridged the distance while I was away. I am a bit reluctant to share this, as I want her all to myself but she is truly a gem”
“I’m so relieved to have found a place where I can trust my dog will be safe, well cared for, and have a blast! Kenzie was incredibly responsive and kept me updated with daily check-ins, which really put my mind at ease. She was also super easy to work with and flexible, making sure everything met our needs. I’m so grateful to have found such a great caregiver for my dog!”
“Greg is great! He asked lots of questions to make sure she’d be comfortable and happy. Very kind and thorough, and gave me updates throughout the day with pictures and videos of how truffles was doing. She’s always a little sad after leaving someone she likes, and she’s already sitting here missing him. Thank you again Greg!! Glad you both had fun together! :)”
“My senior dog Vinny spent the weekend with Alex and Christine, and as always, they cared for him as if he were their own. It gives me such peace of mind knowing he’s in a loving, safe environment while I’m out of town. Vinny feels completely at home with them — he makes himself comfortable and fits right in. I also really appreciate that he gets to socialize with other dogs, since he’s an only dog at home. I can’t recommend Alex and Christine enough! 🐾❤️”
About: Hi! I am a dog mom myself, so my husband and I will work together to take great care of your pooch! I have a Golden Retriever, Toby. He’s high energy and loves to play so sometimes comes in hot with others. Please let me know if there have been any issues with that with your dog. I had a little one for 14 years so comfortable with all sizes of dogs- I love them all. My schedule is pretty flexible and I will definitely try to accommodate your timing needs. I am home most of the day Tues-Fri. My husband is home on weekends and can be WFH flexible on Mondays for dog care as needed. Our golden, Toby, always gets a walk in the morning and plays throughout the day. Access to the fenced backyard is available all day. I have a fenced front and back yard. Dogs have access to the backyard all day when we’re home, and will be encouraged to go potty before we leave to go anywhere. No unsupervised front yard time, but if we’re doing stuff, they can hang out. We can crate other dogs, but Toby does not get crated, so happy to cover the crate to reduce fomo!
“This is my second time booking with Daria, and once again, they exceeded my expectations! My dog absolutely loves them, and I always feel at ease knowing my pup is in such caring and capable hands. She provides regular updates, photos, and truly treats my dog like their own. Coming home to a happy, well-cared-for pet makes all the difference. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy, reliable, and loving dog sitter. Thank you again for your outstanding care!””
“Ronli was amazing!! She helped me out with a last minute booking due to some work travel and the experience was flawless. She is very responsive and good about sending pictures and updates. I can tell my dog had such a good time and loved her time with Ronli. Will definitely be booking her again!”
About: As a token of my appreciation for giving me the honour of caring for your furbaby, here is a discount link for your first booking https://www.rover.com/sit/francs28431 Our family had dogs and cats since I was 5 y-o. I absolutely love animals of all kinds. After losing our eldest puppy in 2018, my husband suggested that I try dog walking to lift my spirits. I work for Wag for a few years until I decided to go independent with my dog walking/boarding business. I have boarded and walked many dogs from Indiana to California and I am proud to say that your puppy will be well taken care of and have loads of fun while staying with us and our 3 rescues, Logan, Deebo and Westley. From puppies to senior, all are welcome here. We have tons of toys and, since I embroider custom pet portraits and work from home, I am able to take them for potty breaks often and also offer 2 to 3 walks during the day. I’m looking forward to be your puppy’s new friend. I’m currently working embroidering custom pet portraits which give me the flexibility to be home almost all day and care for your puppy as it was mine. I live in an apartment however I am home most all day. If I have to leave for an hour or so, I can crate your puppy for the hour I am out or let it roam free as per your preference. Your puppy will also have the company of my 3 fur babies to keep him/her company. They are allowed in the bed or furniture.
“Maki helped taking care of our naughty boy for a few days and she did a great job! Kept sending me the pics and I can tell Acta likes her! Will definitely ask for her help again when we are out of the town.”
“My dog king spent his first time with a sitter for a week with Angelique — and I am very happy he did. Our meet and greet went well a couple weeks prior to my trip. And the actual stay with her was wonderful. The pictures I received helped me know he was in good hands. At this time I plan to have king stay with her again when I travel again later this year.”
“Rita was so wonderful with my boy!! I have a malinois who’s stress-reactive with his stomach, and he had some tummy issues the first couple of days, and she handled it wonderfully! I’m so happy he stayed with her, and I’d absolutely book with her again! I was super stressed about leaving him for a week since he has separation anxiety, but I felt so relieved the second I dropped him off. She’s very caring, attentive, and an absolutely wonderful sitter!”
“Jessica was amazing with our pup, Oscar! From the start, she was warm, communicative, and clearly has a genuine love for dogs. She kept us updated with timely check-ins and photos, which gave us total peace of mind. Not only was she super responsible, but she went above and beyond — even taking Oscar out to brunch with her! You can tell she treats the dogs she watches like family. We’re so grateful for her care and would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a loving and trustworthy sitter.”
“Olga is great! She is very responsive and provides regular updates. She's is great with my dog and I will certainly use her again to take care of Bruno. I highly recommend her for your pet.”
