“Albina was a ROCKSTAR. Our insanely scared dog loved her immediately. She made us a Christmas decoration with his name on it and homemade treats. I almost cried with how kind she was. We will be coming back!!”
“Zac took great care of our Kirby for an evening. He has a wonderful place for pups, with plenty of space to run around. His dogs are friendly and adorable, and we will certainly book with him again.”
“Yulia went above and beyond, took such amazing care of my dog Annie. Sent lots of photos and it really showed how much love she gave my pup. Would recommend her to anyone and will almost certainly book again.”
“Can’t say enough for Demitree. What an amazing host and caregiver to my dog Echo. He kept me informed and in the loop with what was going on with my pup! Kept me informed every step of the way. Echo loved spending time with him. The dog wasn’t just a guest she was part of his family while she was there. I’m DEFINITELY going to have my pup stay there again and is the only place she will be staying going forward. Can’t thank you enough Demitree!! Thank you!”
“Karen clearly loves animals. Our dog, Bailey, was easily incorporated into the household with photos taken, exercised and played with. We would use her 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.”
“From Margaret’s regular photo updates, it is clear that Rosie was not merely a boarder, but having a great adventure, lavished w care, lots of activity and attention! Thank you for everything!”
“Bill and his family took amazing care of my dog. My dog has a lot of energy but I can tell they spent a lot of time with him and he enjoyed his time playing in their yard. I would definitely recommend and request for him to watch my dog again.”
“Bethanie and her husband were SO GREAT! I’ve used Rover a couple of times and have had sketchy situations happen in the past with my mini dachshund, so I was a bit concerned to trust someone again. Bethanie has RESTORED my faith in dog lovers. She treated him like he was her own and sent picture updates every couple of hours. (My dog was strait up chillin, no anxiety). Even her little dog named Mishi was sweet and welcoming to Ranger. She welcomed him with open paws. Thank you guys, I’ll seriously only be able to use your service from here on out✌?”
“Best dog sitting experience I have ever had. Not only did she provide attentive and loving care for my dog, but she also took him on outings to the beach, which he absolutely loved. Her attention to detail and genuine affection for my pet were evident in every interaction. She kept me updated with photos and messages, ensuring I felt comfortable and reassured. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and I highly recommend Irina to anyone in need of a caring and responsible dog sitter.”
“Nancy walks Waylyn during when I’m at work and last minute was able to sit her for the weekend as well when my previous plans fell through. She sends such cute pictures and gives Waylyn a good long walk!”
“Kimberly took great care of our 6 month old puppy, Lila, and sent lots of photos and updates. Lila received lots of snuggles and walks and got to socialize with Kimberly’s dogs as well. I was very happy with Lila’s stay at Kimberley’s home.”
About: I’ve always had pets at home, so caring for animals is a natural part of my life. I’m attentive, patient, and genuinely enjoy spending time with them. I treat every pet with the same care and love I give my own. I work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule. This allows me to easily fit pet care into my daily and weekly routine and give pets the time and attention they need. I make sure pets feel safe, calm, and comfortable by following their routine, keeping a clean space, and giving them gentle, attentive care with love and respect.
“Tamar was such a great sitter. She took amazing care of my dog and sent lots of updates during his stay. I’m always nervous about leaving him with a new sitter, but my anxiety melted away quickly. Highly recommend!”
“Hillary was great with Oliver. She was super patient and understanding of his needs and slight anxiety. I appreciated her communication style and updates. Would definitely book again”
“Barbara is a lifesaver! I had a last minute booking and she accommodated. She was very caring for my dog while he had an illness. She updated me everyday about Diego’s condition, I knew he was in good hands. She’s was very attentive with Diego’s schedule. Diego had a good time with her. Thank you Barbara for taking care of my loved one.”
“Dan is a Dog Whisperer. He always makes my little hero Pirate one of the pack in his pooch-friendly home. We’ve left Pirate with him before, but this was for 17 days. Pirate had such a good time with Dan and his dogs that when we reunited today, Pirate gave me kind of a side eye that said, “Hey, I like hanging out here. No rush to come home.” Seriously though, Dan has a very warm, calming presence and we’ll call on him again! Thank you!”
About: I've been caring for pets for over 20 years, and it's something I truly love. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets with the same attention and compassion I'd give my own. I offer personalized care, a limited number of clients, consistent updates with photos and videos, a clean safe environment, reliability, punctuality, flexible scheduling, medication administration, and have extensive experience caring for senior pets and those who are anxious or have special needs. My goal is to help every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I adore animals of all kinds and would be honored to care for your furry family member! I work from home with a flexible schedule, which makes it easy to care for your pets when you need me. I am always on time and communicate often. I will follow your instructions on how to care for your baby in your home. I can even send photos and keep you updated throughout the day. (I should mention that I am also a professional pet photographer!)

“Aksana did a great job looking after my kitties! she was very communicative and followed the directions I gave to a tee! I definitely will be rebooking in the future any time I need a sitter.”
About: I've taken care of adult cats/kittens since I was a young lad. I have always had more than one cat in the house since growing up. Before moving out here in 2022, I was helping to take care of a total of 4 cats within the house back home! I have a wide range of experience ranging from indoor/outdoor cats. One of my cats (Tyson) also has Asthma, and I am familiar with giving pill medication as well.
“Lucine did a fantastic job with my cats. I came home to happy, healthy cats. I really appreciate how in the loop she kept me, as well as all the great photos. I'll definitely book her again :)”
“My fur babies were very safe with Alicia, everytime I am out of town she always my go to person to look after them. She follows instructions and provide pictures and videos to update me daily on my babies. Giving her 5 star for an excellent service.”
“Sarah took very good care of our cat Oliver! She made sure he gets enough food, clean litter box and many of his favorite toys. This is our first time using Rover and we are so grateful that we ran into Sarah. She gave us peace of mind while we were away that our kitty was well cared for.”
“Traci is very friendly and reliable. She took care of our cats for two weeks (one requires daily medication), and everything went smoothly. She seemed to have a good way with the cats; they are pretty shy but seemed to warm up to her quickly and enjoy the company. Traci was also pretty considerate about tidying up and provided thorough daily reports and lots of pictures and videos. Thank you, Traci!”
“Thanks for being flexible and taking care of all the extra gifts that my invisible cat, Peanut, left for you! Have a great New Year - hope you can visit the cats again later in 2026!”
“Fiona was great with our 13 year old cat who’s very cautious with strangers. She has calm and affectionate demeanor which any animal/human would love to be around.”
“Irina and her family are just the best. Our cat Max loves going to visit her. We wouldn’t want anyone else to take care of him while we’re away. As always, Irina is very kind, professional, and communicative! She definitely takes the stress out of being away from our “baby”. Five stars all the way! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
About: I love animals! I grew up with dogs of all types (including Shih-tzus, Yellow Labs, and Boxers), and have lots of experience in pet care and pet sitting. I currently live with an energetic black cat named Bean, and he is one of my best friends! I live an active lifestyle, love to be outside, and especially love to give scratches and play. I know all animals are different and require different types of attention and amounts of energy. Whether its dog sitting, walking, or simply play time, I am excited to create a personal experience for you and your pet. I have taken care of disabled dogs, and animals with special needs. This includes administering medicine and more. Most recently I was a primary caretaker for a 12 year old husky, taking her on daily walks and more. I am extremely flexible and can fill whatever requirements your pet may need, but creating a safe and healthy environment is my top priority. I strive to treat all pets as my own, and I will always be attentive, caring, and loving! I understand this kind of caretaking requires a unique level of care and detail. I work part time and also freelance as a musician, so I have a very open schedule that is flexible. Early mornings and evenings are best but it really depends on my schedule that week. I make sure to give lots of attention to all animals, and try to meet their unique needs! I will always keep an eye on you pet to make sure he/she is safe :) I currently work part time as a musician and have flexibility availability. I can make most schedules work, but prefer mornings. I can help in any way you need- just write! I am a perceptive individual sensitive to the reactions of all animals (and humans). I try to be cautious and move slowly, and really foster a fun relationship so we can have a good time together.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed their pets, and drop-ins are where I really shine. I show up, and send updates so you always know your pet is safe and happy. I’m currently working part-time on larger projects, so the flexibility fits perfectly around drop-in visits. I can build your pet’s visits into my day without a rigid 9-to-5 schedule, and I’m happy to adjust timing to match their routine. For drop-ins, I do a full walkthrough of your home routine first so nothing feels unfamiliar to your pet. I follow your feeding, medication, and play instructions exactly as given, and I always double-check doors and gates are secure before I leave. Your pet’s comfort and safety in their own space is my top priority.
“Bella did an amazing job taking care of my cat! I had to book a cat sitter last minute and luckily Bella was available and willing to help. We had an initial meetup where she asked a lot of good care questions and I explained how I feed him, where things are, vet contact info, etc. She made sure to send pictures and videos for each visit and provided an update summary. It was comforting and relieving to have someone who loves cats taking good care of my cat while I was out of town. I would highly recommend Bella to anyone looking for cat sitting and I hope I can book her the next time I go out of town. Thank you Bella! :)”
About: Dear Pet Owners, I would like to tell you a little about me. I have been raised with pets my entire life (dogs, cats, monkey's, rabbit's etc.) As a teenager, my first job was working at a pet store, and in my early 20's I worked as a veterinary assistant for 5 years. To my family, pets ARE part of the family, so it's no surprise that I am a pet sitter. Even when I was a child, I would always bring home stray's, which we would end up adopting. With me, your fur baby will get TONS of attention, cuddles, scratches and play time depending on their energy and personality. Your dog’s comfort and enjoyment is my #1 priority. My job is to make sure that you have peace of mind knowing that your pets are safe, comfortable, well-cared for and loved. You can rest assured that your babies are in the care of a qualified professional. I currently work from home and my kids are now older and doing their own thing. I have a lot of free time and love meeting and spending time with new fur babies. I am 53 year old mother of 3. Non-smoker, no drugs. I’ll do things just the way you ask me to and, if I'm staying a while, will leave your place nice and welcoming when you get back.

“Thank you so much Albina!! It was very last minute and bullet had a good time. You were very communicative and the drop off and pick up was very quick. If I was in your area, she would be regular there.”
“Isabel took a great care of my dog while we were at the Rose Bowl game. She’s great with communication and was very quick in responding for drop off and pick up. Will definitely use her again next time we visit SoCal.”
“Jennifer is great with our dog, Kodak. He often gets nervous when getting dropped off for daycare, but after a couple of times with Jennifer, he can't get in the door fast enough! 100% recommend her!”
“Charlie is awesome!! You can tell she really loves animals, and she treated our dog as her own. She sent several updates throughout the day, and communication was always easy with her. Highly recommend!”
About: I have been around dogs my whole life. Starting with having a few dogs as pets growing up, I learned to care for them and train them. I then started working with dogs at a grooming salon. I was working as a bather for about 3 years before I acquired a position as a dog handler in a boarding facility where I learned how to do Obedience Training and I never let go of that specific field. I continue to work in Dog handling and provide care in several aspects of a dog’s health. I am able to provide baths, trim nails, administer Medications, and reinforce Good behavior through consistent training and mental stimulation. I love working with dogs and serving those who love dogs as well! I worked in Dog boarding facilities and grooming salons, and therefore have a lot of hands on experience caring for pups. While dogs are in my care, I am able to offer services like nail trimming and ear cleaning at the moment. I am hoping to add bathing services very soon. I typically take a lot of walks in my free time and would be happy to take your pup along with me. Your dog’s comfort and safety are always a priority. I take in small batches of dogs so that your dog has more individual attention instead of being in an overcrowded dog boarding facility. My wife is also home a lot, so you can be sure that your pup is never left alone. My home features a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely play, explore, and enjoy outdoor time under supervision. Inside, the home is equipped with both air conditioning and heating, ensuring your pup stays comfortable year-round, whether it’s a hot summer day or a chilly evening. I strive to provide a clean, safe, and relaxing environment where every dog feels right at home.
About: Hi there! 👋🏻 I’ve always had pets growing up as a child, and my love for them has only grown stronger into my adulthood. I have a passion for learning about and understanding all types of animals. My experience in pet care comes from caring for my own pets, helping family and friends, and volunteering over the years. Additionally, my mom owns a dog shelter where I’m constantly involved, and I also foster dogs from a local shelter 🐕 This passion has naturally evolved into my career as a pet sitter and dog walker, where I get to spend my days caring for animals and giving them the attention and love they deserve. I believe every pet has its own personality, and I love discovering what makes each one unique, building trust and a special bond with them. There’s nothing more rewarding than seeing a pet’s happy face after a long walk or a day of companionship I’m currently working remote and at home, which means I can take care of pups and cats anytime of the day. I have a very flexible schedule! I take any (and all) opportunities to snuggle and go on fun adventures with dogs 🐶🤍 It would be my privilege and pleasure to uphold all safety, trust, and rules required by the owner for the well-being of their pet • Walks You’ll receive a map of our route, a report on your pet’s activities, a detailed summary of our time together, and lots of cute pictures. This includes feedings and medications if needed (extra charge may apply for additional services). I’ll keep you informed when I’m on my way and when I’ve left ~30 minutes service~ • Drop-ins You’ll get a report with plenty of photos of your pet! This service includes feeding, playtime, a quick potty break, and medications if required (extra charge may apply for additional services). I’ll keep you informed when I’m on my way and when I’ve left ~15–30 minutes service~ ❗️Important information: — I double-check all doors after leaving to ensure they are properly locked and secured — During walks, I do not greet people or other dogs for safety reasons — I do not unleash dogs at any time for safety and control → If you have any questions don’t be afraid to shoot me a message and ask away *During the peak season, please note that I have a flexible schedule and can provide services within a window of up to 30 minutes before or after the time you originally requested. Typically, the service is still performed at the time you've specified *I specialize in working exclusively with non-aggressive dogs&cats ❗️Please share all essential information I should be aware of in order to provide the best possible care for your pet ❗️If possible, I recommend booking my services in advance to secure your preferred dates and times for future bookings ❗️I offer discounts for private clients, feel free to reach out and we can discuss the details
“Bianca is very nice and reliable. My dog had a great time with her. We arrived a bit later than expected, but she took my dog out for a walk and even waited for me downstairs. I would definitely ask for her help again in the future. Highly recommend!”
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. We can board up to two dogs at one time, but they must be from the same family home. I am a successful small business owner and I work out of my home. I live within convenient probity proximity to downtown Glendale and the 134 freeway. 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. If requested, we're happy to 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.
“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: Last year I said goodbye to my 17 year-old dog Max, just a few months after my cat Scotty passed away suddenly from kidney disease. Thankfully, Scotty's sister Star is still with me and thriving, but I really miss being around and caring for other animals. I have a lot of experience with senior dogs and the gentle care they require. I'm also very familiar with younger dogs of all sizes. And I've fostered a lot of cats - mainly kittens - which is how Star and Scotty originally came into my life. I would love the opportunity to care for your pet - whether it be walks, drop-ins, boarding or pet-sitting. I work part-time, teaching improv and also teach at an academy for gifted and neurodivergent homeschool students. The classes are short and nearby (and are not every day) so I'm never gone for more than 2-4 hours. Which leaves me plenty of time to spend with your pet! I'm available for home visits, walks throughout the day, boarding, and/or pet sitting any day of the week. I live in a residential neighborhood in the Somerset section of Glendale, perfect for walks. My apartment is a large one-bedroom I share with my cat Star, who is very affectionate and easy-going - she'd love to keep your pet company!
“Wow, I can’t say enough great things about Jessica, Zach, and Fang!! My dog was immediately comfortable with them all (even though she can be nervous around men, she loved Zach). She had great play time, walks, and comfy naps. I got cute picture updates throughout the day, and she came back calm and sleepy. Can’t wait to book them again!”
About: Hi! Welcome! I have been a cat mom for 16 yrs, but sadly my beloved cat, Mittens passed away in May 2025. I miss him dearly! And I deeply miss having a fur baby in my life! But since I’m not ready to get a new pet, I would like to give my love, attention and experience into taking care of other people’s pets! I am extremely experienced with taking care of cats and I have taken care of family and friend’s dogs before, and now several times professionally on Rover, that it’s made me fall in love with dogs just as as cats! I absolutely love and enjoy taking care of both dogs and cats! And they both have their own wonderful and amazing charms! 😁 I work from home so I am always at home, so it makes it easy to take care of pets and give them all the attention and potty breaks that they need. I am available for boarding or pet daycare at anytime, so please feel free to contact me whenever you would like. I live in a one bedroom apartment that is 1000-1500 sqft and I don’t have a backyard or personal balcony, but live in a very safe residential neighborhood, so walking dogs outside at anytime of the day is completely safe and fine. My living room is a reasonable size (1000 sqft), which is why I only board small to medium sized dogs; however, I work from home, so I’m always able to take the dogs out to get some much needed air, sun and exercise daily, so they don’t get too cooped up or bored indoors. I also always make it a priority to turn the AC and fans on at my place, so they can stay cool and comfortable at all times. Furthermore, I have used the Rover App before to have my own late cat boarded with a pet sitter on here, so I fully understand the comfort and the need for owners to have pet sitters send photos, videos and daily updates of their pets to them, therefore, I always make that a priority and I am more than happy to do that! I firmly believe and take it very seriously that a pet sitter should always respond immediately and be absolutely communicative at all times!
“Irina met me right on time for dropoff and pickup, was extremely friendly, and kept me updated with plenty of photos throughout the day. I felt completely at ease knowing my dogs were in excellent hands with her. I would totally leave my dogs with her again!”

About: Hi! I'm an experienced dog sitter who loves spending time with dogs of all sizes. I'm comfortable with walks, feeding, administering basic medications (if needed), and sending regular photo updates. I'd love the opportunity to care for your dog! I’m currently working full time but have the flexibility to walk many dogs and do boarding either at my home or at the pet parents home. I’ve watched pets at the pet parents home, and have stayed overnights. I care for pets with patience, love, and attention to their individual needs. I make sure they have fresh food and water, a clean and comfortable space, plenty of playtime and affection, and a safe environment. I also follow their usual routines as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and relaxed while you’re away.

I want every pet in my home to feel safe, comfortable, and at home. I follow their normal routines as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and any special instructions you provide. I give them plenty of attention while also respecting their space when they need some quiet time. I treat every dog with patience, kindness, and the same care I would want for my own.
“Django is delighted to have made 3 new friends, Sandra, Alfonso and their cute and rambunctious dog, Baxter. He was welcomed into their home like an old friend. They provided him everything a dog needs for contentment: attention, affection, stimulation, and snacks! He was his usual apprehensive self when he arrived but within 20 minutes he was chilled out on the sofa. We're both looking forward to his next visit. One more thing: thanks for sharing, Baxter!”

“Our baby isn't used to being walked by anyone else - although he was stubborn about walking with Sean, Sean was great about keeping in text contact, giving him a bathroom break, and playing with him in the house. Thank you Sean for doing a great job with our large puppy!!!”
“Javier is great! Having just moved to LA, it’s been a stressful transition for my pup, but Javier made it easy. He is reliable, keeps up open communication, and makes sure to send photos or videos of him spoiling My dog. Cusco is looking forward to his Boris for a while to come!”

My goal is always to make pets feel secure and owners feel completely confident in my care I am currently working a full time job Monday-Friday but I am available evenings during the week and all day on the weekends. Thank you. For dog walking, I focus on safety, consistency, and trust. Before each walk, I make sure the dog’s harness and leash are secure, follow the owner’s preferred routine, and stick to safe walking routes. I pay close attention to the dog’s comfort and body language so they feel calm and confident with me. To build trust with clients, I’m always punctual, respectful of their home, and follow instructions exactly. I send clear updates and photos after each walk so owners know their dog is safe, happy, and well cared for.

“Traci came to my and my pups’ rescue when I was hit with a high fever and couldn’t take them on their regular evening walk. She was there shortly after I messaged her and was friendly, professional, great with the dogs and extremely communicative. Thank you, Traci!!!”
“Michael was very easy to work with, seemed very personable, and most importantly- libby appears to have enjoyed his company 😊 Michael was very professional - communicating with me beforehand to see if libby had any special needs or preferences. He arrived a couple of minutes early and they went on an hour walk. I would definitely use Michael’s services again.”
About: With years of dedicated pet care experience, I've looked after a variety of animals, from dogs and cats to birds and rabbits. My passion for pets is evident in the attention and love I provide, making sure each one is healthy and content. While I don't have pets presently, my routine eagerly anticipates their presence. I dedicate time each day to care, ensuring they're happy, active, and loved when they come my way.

I live in a one bedroom apartment that is 1000-1500 sqft and I don’t have a backyard or personal balcony, but live in a very safe residential neighborhood, so walking dogs outside at anytime of the day is completely safe and fine. My living room is a reasonable size (1000 sqft), which is why I only board small to medium sized dogs; however, I work from home, so I’m always able to take the dogs out to get some much needed air, sun and exercise daily, so they don’t get too cooped up or bored indoors. I also always make it a priority to turn the AC and fans on at my place, so they can stay cool and comfortable at all times. Furthermore, I have used the Rover App before to have my own late cat boarded with a pet sitter on here, so I fully understand the comfort and the need for owners to have pet sitters send photos, videos and daily updates of their pets to them, therefore, I always make that a priority and I am more than happy to do that! I firmly believe and take it very seriously that a pet sitter should always respond immediately and be absolutely communicative at all times!
About: I love animals! I grew up with dogs of all types (including Shih-tzus, Yellow Labs, and Boxers), and have lots of experience in pet care and pet sitting. I currently live with an energetic black cat named Bean, and he is one of my best friends! I live an active lifestyle, love to be outside, and especially love to give scratches and play. I know all animals are different and require different types of attention and amounts of energy. Whether its dog sitting, walking, or simply play time, I am excited to create a personal experience for you and your pet. I have taken care of disabled dogs, and animals with special needs. This includes administering medicine and more. Most recently I was a primary caretaker for a 12 year old husky, taking her on daily walks and more. I am extremely flexible and can fill whatever requirements your pet may need, but creating a safe and healthy environment is my top priority. I strive to treat all pets as my own, and I will always be attentive, caring, and loving! I understand this kind of caretaking requires a unique level of care and detail. I work part time and also freelance as a musician, so I have a very open schedule that is flexible. Early mornings and evenings are best but it really depends on my schedule that week. I make sure to give lots of attention to all animals, and try to meet their unique needs! I will always keep an eye on you pet to make sure he/she is safe :) I currently work part time as a musician and have flexibility availability. I can make most schedules work, but prefer mornings. I can help in any way you need- just write! I am a perceptive individual sensitive to the reactions of all animals (and humans). I try to be cautious and move slowly, and really foster a fun relationship so we can have a good time together.
About: With over 20 years of dog care experience and a French Bulldog of my own, I excel in handling even the most energetic and demanding dogs. My expertise includes training puppies, managing dogs with medical needs or special diets, and providing attentive care for rambunctious and playful pets. Whether your dog is vocal or requires extra special attention, I bring a wealth of knowledge and a compassionate touch to ensure they feel loved and well-cared for. I’m currently in between jobs so I can dedicate full time care for your pet! I currently have a 6 year old, male, French Bulldog so taking care of dogs is my main priority right now! I live by the golden rule- treat others how you would like to be treated. Pets and environment are no exception. As a pet owner myself, I ensure owners can feel confident and safe with entrusting me with their pet- I know I would want the same treatment. Safety and trust are my top priority for your pet!
About: Your pet will be treated with love, patience, and care — just like family. I have always loved animals and have experience caring for dogs and cats for friends and family. I previously had my own dog and cat, and they were a very important part of my life. I truly adore animals and enjoy spending time with them. I love going on walks with dogs, playing with them, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I am responsible, patient, and attentive to each pet’s needs. I’m based in Glendale and available for weekday mornings and afternoons. I previously had my own cat and truly understand how important pets are to their families. I have experience feeding cats, cleaning litter boxes, and spending quality time with them so they feel calm, safe, and comfortable while their owners are away. I am gentle, patient, and attentive to each cat’s personality and needs. I’m based in Glendale and happy to help local pet owners care for their cats. I treat every pet with kindness, patience, and care. I always follow the owner’s instructions for feeding, walks, and routines. My goal is to make pets feel safe, relaxed, and loved while their owners are aw
About: I’ve been fortunate to grow up with animals most of my life and lucky enough to continue having little fur companions in the home through roommates. I’m proud to say I’m my friend’s go to for pet sitting (+ house sitting) while they’re away in long trips as I love to play, cuddle, and take care of their little ones as if they were my own. I enjoy taking my family’s dogs for long walks whenever I visit and cuddling with the cat if she’s gracious enough to give me attention. I’d love to meet your pet and thanks in advance! 💗 I have availability from 12 pm-1 pm and after 6 pm with open availability on the weekends though my schedule will vary on a weekly basis and can be pretty flexible! It’s not always easy for pets to be with a stranger but with trust, respect, and patience I hope to create a safe atmosphere. I’d love to implement the methods that have already been established by the pet owner to create a familiar environment and easy transition for your pet.
About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and care I have for dogs. As a dog mom myself, I understand how important it is to feel comfortable and confident leaving your pup in someone else’s care. I’m patient, attentive, and treat every dog as an individual, taking the time to learn their personality, routine, and needs. I want every pup in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re away from home. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you never feel out of the loop, and I’ll make sure your dog gets plenty of attention, companionship, and care throughout their stay. I have a flexible schedule and enjoy spending my days with dogs. I’m able to give pets plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and companionship throughout the day rather than leaving them alone for long periods. I’m also comfortable following each pet’s individual feeding, walking, and care routine so they can feel comfortable and settled while they’re with me. I want every pet in my home to feel safe, comfortable, and at home. I follow their normal routines as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and any special instructions you provide. I give them plenty of attention while also respecting their space when they need some quiet time. I treat every dog with patience, kindness, and the same care I would want for my own.
About: I walk 3-4 miles every day so I can enjoy long walks with your pet. If they are older and just want to rest or be loved on - I can do that as well. If your pet is independent, I can also care for them at a distance. Not all pets are the same and I get it. I am at a place in life that I am available days, nights and weekends to provide stellar care for your home and furry friends. I look forward to meeting you! My dog, Buster, passed away at 14 1/2 and I would love to be able to care for other people's pets - the same way I cared for him. Your pet is going to miss you so I want them to feel as comfortable as they can while you are gone. I want to get as much information from you to make sure that I can accomplish this goal.

“Over the last few years, I’ve had family watch Sansa when I’m away and so I was nervous about trying to find another sitter. Ekaterina was very responsive and understanding of my concerns. She kept me updated with photos and a video which reassured me she was doing great and in good hands. She was also able to give Sansa her evening meds which can be difficult since Sansa will refuse it the first few tries. We will definitely be working with Ekaterina again the next time we need a sitter! Definitely recommend her if anyone is looking for someone who will take great care of your dog like their own.”
“I will always recommend Therese as she is very nice and Honest . She always keep us inform how my dog is doing . She is very caring . She is very flexible with time. thank you for all your help.”
“Alexa was able to watch my dog over the holiday weekend and I was extremely at ease with her professionalism, quick responses, and attention. I would definitely rebook in the future. Thank you Alexa!”
“Javier was such a great host. Since he does this full time, he really knows how to work with all types of dogs. He was very communicative and sent pictures and video updates. Hopefully he doesn’t plan to move as I think I found my forever dog sitter.”
“Karen clearly loves animals. Our dog, Bailey, was easily incorporated into the household with photos taken, exercised and played with. We would use her again.”
“From Margaret’s regular photo updates, it is clear that Rosie was not merely a boarder, but having a great adventure, lavished w care, lots of activity and attention! Thank you for everything!”
“This was Shimin’s third time watching Kuchára, and she’s consistently amazing. Her updates were just as thoughtful and regular as always, and it’s so clear she loves Kuchára as much as we do. We’re so grateful for the care and comfort she gives our girl every time. 🐶💛”
“Bill and his family took amazing care of my dog. My dog has a lot of energy but I can tell they spent a lot of time with him and he enjoyed his time playing in their yard. I would definitely recommend and request for him to watch my dog again.”
“Donghae (Ted) was an amazing sitter for our dog. He was responsive, caring, and very communicative. Ted also has a structured way of caring for your pet - as in he asks for details like allergies, preferences, and schedules. Overall, great experience and would 100% rebook.”
“Tetsu was incredible and took excellent care of my dog Kevin. He sent many lovely pictures of Kevin during his stay. Kevin got so much play time and had a lot of fun at Tetsu’s. I’d definitely let Kevin stay with him again. :)”
“My dog Remi was incredibly well cared for during her time with Miry. She had a backyard to roam in and kids to play with. Thanks again so much for looking after her!”
“Micheal was great and accommodating with our changing of times and last minute booking. Bonita was a little nervous but she came home super chill and happy. We received super cute photos too.”
“Great with my dog Austin, felt like I left him with family the way I got daily updates and occasional photos. I’m glad I found a home away from home for my soul dog”
“Nancy walks Waylyn during when I’m at work and last minute was able to sit her for the weekend as well when my previous plans fell through. She sends such cute pictures and gives Waylyn a good long walk!”
“Our original sitter was impacted by the Eaton Canyon fire, which resulted in us scrambling to find another sitter. Our dog Mabel spends a lot of time with me since I work from home, so I was a little anxious about how she would do overnight with someone she didn’t know. At her previous sitters, she barked for the first two hours during a daycare trial. At Cynthia’s, she made fast friends with Yoshi and Mamba and made herself right at home. Cynthia sent photos and updates about Mabel’s play, sleep, and eating. Mabel received snuggles and so much attention from the whole family. She came back happy and without any transitional behavioral issues she had with her first sitter. Even though I work from home, I think sending Mabel in for daycare every now and then would be a great way for her to be social and play. She had so much fun and I know she’d love to come back. Cynthia lives up to the hype.”
“Daria took really good care of our Frenchie. Drop off and pickup was easy and flexible. We have received pictures and videos of him during our vacation which made us happy during our vacation. Thanks, we will book again.”
“Greg was amazing with my German Shepherd Luna! He really made the space comfortable for her, gave fantastic updates and no problems giving her her medication. Such a great experience! Appreciate him so much & will book again! 10/10”
“Dion is a wonderful pet caretaker! He sitted my giant, elderly 95lb St. Weiler for three days with the utmost care! She was so happy when I came to pick her up like she had one of the best weekends. He too care to attend to her hip problems and everything! Dion is truly gifted with dog knowledge and care. The fact that he had a house with a big backyard for the dogs to play was a huge bonus in my opinion. I would highly recommend booking him as long as he is available.”
“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”
