Thank you Barbara for taking care of my loved one.”
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.

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.

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.

Lots of photos and videos of the cats having a great time, and she enjoyed getting to know them too. Very communicative with questions and updates. We are so lucky to have found her on our first time using Rover! Thank you Traci!!!”
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.
“Jessica was wonderful at putting us at ease while we were out of the country for the holidays! We had never used a sitter service before but the experience was so smooth and wonderful. We got photos and updates each day. Our cat is a bit shy with new people but Jessica did a fantastic job at giving Echo space to feel comfortable and playing with her when she was feeling more social.”
“When my catsitting plans fell through and I was scrambling for help, Genevieve stepped in and took great care of my cat, Cashew! She communicated well and sent daily check-ins, and Cashew greeted me warmly when I got home. I highly recommend Genevieve to anyone who needs cat care.”
“Fiona was great! Super patient with my timid kitty. She took wonderful care of her and helped her come out of her shell over the duration of the stay. Her place is a calm and welcoming environment, highly recommended booking with her for any and all pets but especially if you have a more anxious baby she presents a great space for them to feel safe”
“Irina is the best! She is so kind and made me feel so much better about leaving my cat Max with a sitter for the first time. I received daily updates and photos, which were so fun to see. The photos of Max with Irina and her kids were so heartwarming. Irina is professional and very responsive. Drop off and pickup was seamless. I am so very thankful for Irina. Max told me that he can’t wait to go back and visit her again!”
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.
“Was absolutely WONDERFUL! So thorough with asking questions and preparing to take care of my two cats, one of which needed medication, and got my super shy cat to come out and be friendly!!! Such a lovely experience overall! I would use her again and again!”

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.
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!”
“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!
About: I’ve been walking dogs & providing pet sitting services since I was 10, I love it! I have had over 20 years of experience! I love pets! I currently work freelance and remote work so I am able to tend to the pets on a very flexible schedule. My schedule is very open to the fur babies It’s important to provide a safe and calm environment for the fur babies so if staying at home is the best option, it should be available to them.
“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!”
“Khalani was awesome! Super quick to respond over text and sent photos throughout the day. Banksy seemed like he had a great time playing with her dog Buttercup. Would absolutely use her again in the future for daycare!”
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.

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.
“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!”

“Javier was amazing. We felt that Eros and Zena were put in great hands. He takes amazing pictures and videos during the walk. We will most definitely have Javier back to walk the pups.”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my calm, patient approach and my focus on building trust with both pets and owners. I take time to understand each dog’s personality and needs so I can tailor walks and care to what makes them feel safest and happiest. I’m reliable, communicative, and detail-oriented—I follow instructions closely, send consistent updates, and treat every dog as if they were my own. 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.

“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: I successfully fostered a husky-German mix from a rescue organization and helped her find her forever home! I spent the summer volunteering at the rescue, walking rescue dogs and helping raise awareness for them. I have always loved animals. I’m working part-time / self-employed so my schedule is really flexible ! I love taking walks and so walking dogs would fit naturally in my schedule. I will be very accommodating in the clients home; my reviews on Airbnb are good and others have trusted me in their home to leave it in good condition.
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. In both my home and my clients' homes, I make sure that safety, trust, and a pet-friendly environment are top priorities. For dogs, this includes secure fencing, leash-trained walks, and supervised playtime. Cats receive cozy, quiet spaces for relaxation and play. I adhere to feeding schedules, administer medication when necessary, and provide ample cuddles and exercise. It's all about making each pet feel comfortable and loved.

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: 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.

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.

“Alexa was so great with Draco! She watched him for a couple nights and kept us updated with the cutest photos from their walks. She's super friendly and quick to respond, which I really appreciated.

“Bella gets SO excited to stay with Jess, Zach and Fang when we have to travel and we never have to worry about how she is doing because we know how much she enjoys it there. We live in the same building and she knows as soon as we get to their floor, pulls on her leash with such force that we end up running down the hallway to the door. As soon as she enters their condo, she doesn’t look back for us. AND, whenever we see them on walks, Bella is quick to want to see them to give them all of her kisses. Thank you all for always taking such great care of Bella.”

I would recommend booking Kevin to care for your pet 🙂”

About: I genuinely enjoy being around animals and believe every pet deserves patience, attention, and affection. I’m responsible, attentive to their routines, and always take the time to understand their personality and needs. Whether your pet is playful, energetic, shy, or simply loves relaxing beside someone, I treat them with care and respect. My priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and never alone. I work from home as a musician and producer, so I’m home most of the day and have a very flexible schedule. This allows me to give pets plenty of attention, companionship, and supervision throughout the day instead of leaving them alone for long periods of time. I can easily work around their feeding, walking, playtime, and rest routines. I love having animals around while I work, and I’m happy to provide a calm, comfortable, and loving environment where they can feel at home. Because I work from home, your pet will have someone around for most of the day. I provide a calm and comfortable home environment where pets can relax, play, and receive attention throughout the day. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully and respect their pet’s individual routine, personality, and boundaries. Safety always comes first, and I keep a close eye on pets while they are in my care. I also understand how important it is for pet parents to feel comfortable leaving their furry family member with someone they trust.
