“Margaret is absolutely wonderful! Our pup Riggy had the best time with her — she loved playing in Margaret’s big outdoor yard and came home so happy (and tired!). Margaret kept us updated with lots of adorable photos and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. As an extra sweet surprise, Riggy even came home with a new toy that she hasn’t put down since. 🐾💖 We can’t recommend Margaret enough — she truly goes above and beyond!”
“We have never left our dog for a long period of time. Adrienne put our minds at ease and set up a meet and greet for us before hand so Lola could meet her and her dog.

You can tell Adrienne has a real love for dogs and we would definitely recommend her services. We will be booking again in the future?”

About: I cared for my cat, Scotty, for five years and worked on basic training and enrichment, including leash training and supervised outdoor time once a week. This experience helped me understand behavior, boundaries, and the importance of patience and trust. I’m pay attention to feeding routines, litter box maintenance, and creating a calm, comfortable environment for cats. I respect each cat’s personality whether they’re playful, shy, or independent and focus on making them feel safe and at ease while their owners are away.
About: Cats have always held a special place in my heart, and I understand that every cat has their own unique personality and routine. I have two cats of my own and extensive experience caring for both my own pets and others’ cats.

“Sara was a fantastic caregiver for our elderly cat and we would recommend her to anyone! She is extremely communicative, and respectful of our cat's needs. She went above and beyond and asked where a broom & dustpan were while we were away because Becky can be sloppy with her litter. Sara proactively clarified Becky's insulin needs to make sure she would be giving her the right amount amidst some changes in her insulin regimen. We look forward to when we can book Sara again!”

Alex was also extremely attentive, notifying us of anything slightly out of the ordinary so we we’d be aware and make decisions accordingly. We had a great experience and can’t wait to book him again!”
About: I’m a full time foster mom and have fostered cats from 10 days to adults. I’m also considered the “cat expert” at the vet I work at and have been able to handle fractious cats and know how to work with shy, hesitant, and feral kitties. I know how to give fluids, injections, medication and draw blood.
About: My dream job would be to be around cats all day if I could. I have experience caring for cats overnight, feeding, cleaning, and keeping general company. I have a great understanding of how cats tick and how to know what their body language/ behavior can be telling us.

I am the go-to cat sitter for my friends going on trips and have been around cats my whole life.

“My puppy Goose always has such a fun time with Jennifer and her daughter! He always gets so excited whenever we drop him off and he is happy as a clam when we pick him up. We would recommend her to any pet parent!”
About: I’ve always shared my home with dogs, whether living with roommates and family who had pets or stepping in to pet-sit for friends. Even without having a dog of my own, I’ve developed a deep appreciation for the unique bond they share with us 'two-legged animals.' I love their capacity for unconditional trust and pure affection—they really are the best companions. Whether I’m matching their high energy or enjoying a quiet moment of calm, I find so much joy in their presence Currently I am on sabbatical from my job and have time to spend with pets. I like taking dogs out for walks at the park, or just around the neighborhood. Unless some other life responsibility comes up, I am open to spend as much time as I would like with the fuzzy butts! I live in a small 8 unit apartment building in a very walkable neighborhood. I live very close to Griffith park and love to visit there with dogs. My apartment is a 2/2 and there are no limits to if a pet is on the furniture with me. I love to snuggle if they like to.
“Natalie was wonderful! She accommodated our last-minute request with such kindness and flexibility, which we really appreciated. She was very friendly and took great care of our dog!”
“the absolute best. I felt so comfortable leaving my son with her. She was always sending me photos and updates and you can tell she genuinely cares about animals. Would highly recommend!!”
About: What’s the most important thing all dog owners want to know before entrusting their dogs to a stranger? Well first of all I’m from Jersey. I’ll play with your dog, make sure they’re happy, take them on a walk, not lose them, and feed them only what you tell me to feed them. No human food, I promise. Unless of course that’s in your list of food to give them. Of course hydrate them as well. I know the do’s and don’ts of a dog’s diet since I have 2 of my own. I’ve also been fostering dogs on and off for the past 3 years. I am known to be reliable and responsible, so I can assure you that you can rest easy with leaving your dog(s) in my care. Or if you have a cat, I also get along super well with them since I also have 2 of my own! I work from home so I do have some flexibility or if you need eyes on your little one for long hours I will also be able to do that. I do have 2 cats so I have pet gates up to separate my cats from any dogs. The dogs get free roaming of the living room which tends to be enough for my two dogs plus any friends they’ve had over. Routine in my home is key. At your home, I’ll stick to your routine and respect your house rules. Whatever you require, it will be respected.
“Erika was GREAT. Attentive and totally accommodating for our Christmas Day reservation for TWO dogs. She sent photos throughout the day and even introduced our dogs to other fur friends. Our pups came home exhausted and thirsty - signs of a great time! I’ll definitely be contacting Erika again if we need daycare in the future.”
“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 💗”
“Frances was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!! I was a little worried leaving my fur baby since it’s his first time with a sitter, and he was a lil anxious when we dropped him off but had a great time with Frances. She sent me pictures and updates throughout the day, and the picture qualities were also amazing! My puppy looked so happy and comfortable! He came home pooped and I’m so happy he got along with Frances and her boys! I will definitely use Frances again next time I need a sitter!”
“Today was the first time my 10 month old pup went to a sitter. Margaret was very sweet and helpful getting Maverick acclimated and warmed up to the other pups she was watching. I will definitely bring him back soon! Thank you for caring for Maverick today!”

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 adopted my first own dog in 2012 and cared for him until he passed of old age in 2024. He was a half English half American bulldog. Now I have a French bulldog, an 8‑year‑old cat and a guinea pig. I understand dog and cat behavior and routines really well. Friends and family have trusted me for years to feed, walk, and give meds to their pets and I treat every pet like part of my family. I understand the true purpose of walks for dogs and always let them take their time sniffing and exploring so they feel mentally stimulated and relaxed. I’m a full-time stay-at-home mom, so I’m home most of the day and available any time, any day. I’m used to juggling different feeding, walking, and playtime schedules, and your pet will get lots of attention and company throughout the day. I follow your feeding, walking, and crate routines so they feel safe and consistent. I’m calm, patient, and experienced with seniors and more nervous pets, and I always keep a close eye on them to make sure they’re comfortable and secure.
“Isabel is excellent! She’s punctual, is a great communicator, and is very natural with dogs. She observed a lot of things about my dogs temperament that I really appreciated . She has also done dog sitting in my home and is very trustworthy.”
“Big thanks to Tamar who was such a huge help for our dog. Tamar has been an absolute blessing for our family and our senior dog, Benny. At 15 years old, Benny has a lot of special needs, including help getting up and down the stairs and extra patience as he moves through his day. Tamar was incredibly kind, patient, and attentive with him from the very beginning. Benny is usually very timid around new people, but Tamar’s warm and gentle demeanor helped him feel comfortable with her surprisingly quickly. She also kept us updated with great communication and sent the cutest photos during her visits, which gave us so much peace of mind. We are so grateful for Tamar and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a compassionate and reliable dog sitter!”
“Brandi is the best! She takes such good care of our girls. Always going slow, taking breaks when it’s hot, and watching out for our older one. She is super flexible and always kind about our chaotic schedule. Definitely recommend! Thanks Brandi!”
“We are so grateful to have found Alina! She walked our two dogs and sent really wonderful photos and updates. Alina is very trustworthy. Will definitely book her again!”
“I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with Emin. He was very responsive and even hiked with Lila in the rain! Has a very calm energy and handled my dog’s intensity very well”
About: I’ve grown up around big dogs such as labs my entire life which has made me very comfortable around animals. I also rode horses for 14 years so have worked with many types and sizes of farm animals. I have my own kitties and have cared for friends cats and dogs as well. I can do absolutely anything you or your animal need. I’m a very active person who loves hiking, long walks, and spending time outdoors, so bringing a dog along is something I genuinely enjoy. I’m also an early riser and have no problem getting up for morning walks, feedings, or whatever routine your pet is used to. I still ride horses and regularly spend time at the barn, so caring for animals is a consistent part of my everyday life—not just when I’m pet sitting. While I do have a part-time job, I’m flexible and happy to work with your schedule to make sure your pets receive the care, attention, and exercise they deserve. I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. My goal is to maintain the same routines, care, and attention they’re used to, making the transition as stress-free as possible. I treat every animal with the utmost care, patience, and respect, taking the time to understand their unique personality and needs. Whether that’s keeping to their normal schedule, offering extra playtime, quiet companionship, or plenty of affection, I strive to fill the gap while you’re away so they feel secure, happy, and genuinely cared for until you’re home again.

About: I’ve had animals in my life for as long as I can remember, from growing up with a cat to horseback riding, owning a horse, helping care for other people’s horses, walking friends’ dogs and having dogs of my own, including a German shepherd and two dachshunds. I currently don’t have pets, which is a big reason I’m signing up for Rover. I miss having animals around and would love to help care for yours. I’m an avid walker and hiker, so getting in my steps with a furry companion sounds wonderful. I’m comfortable with both larger and small dogs, and I also love cats, whether that means cuddling, giving them space or simply making sure they are well cared for. While I’m new to pet sitting through Rover, I’m a responsible, competent and trusted animal lover. Having had my own dogs, I know how much it means to find someone reliable and kind to care for your furry family members while you’re at work or on vacation. I’m a semi-retired freelancer with a flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the day. I prefer early morning through mid-afternoon visits, but will try to be accommodating according to your schedule. I don’t have a fenced yard and am not able to host pets in my home, but I’m very happy to come to you for drop-in visits, cat care and neighborhood walks. I love getting outside with dogs and am equally happy to to spend indoor time with cats.

About: Hi, my name is Angie! I love animals like my blood relatives and I would love to be your next fur baby caretaker! I've lived in a house with 3 dogs for my entire life, and love to play, walk, relax, and explore with them. Since I was 8 I've been actively taking care of pups (feeding, walking, bathing, grooming, and cleaning up after them), so I'm definitely confident with taking care of dogs. My earliest memories were with a Husky, Doberman mix, and Super-mutt, and then I grew up with my GSP, Australian Shepherd, and Chi-Poo (who is now the happiest 14-year-old old lady). In college I also fostered cats – a sibling duo I took care of for 6 months, as well as a litter of 6 kittens – so I love to be with both dogs and cats alike, and know how to take care of both sweet creatures :) I'm available for dog walking, dog sitting, or cat sitting, and have availability throughout the week (with only Sunday afternoons fully blocked off). I can take care of small and big dogs alike, and love to be active – so no amount of energy is too much for me! I have taken care of dogs from 6 weeks to 14 years, and cats from 2 weeks to 6 years old. I just graduated from USC, and I'm very responsible and know how to look after and take care of our precious pets. Feel free to reach out today with any questions about future care, and I look forward to becoming your pet's best friend! I'm free for walking throughout the week, and am very flexible with my work schedule since I'm a figure skating teacher. Sundays I am unavailable from 11AM-4PM, but I am otherwise available to take care of your pets or board for a period of time. I have lots of toys, treats, and love to give, and having experience with both old and young pets, I adapt to energy levels very quickly and know how to build connections and trust with animals. I am very clean and responsible, and if any mess is made I clean it right up. I can find a way to make even the smallest space a wonderland for pets, and am confident that I can keep them entertained until their humans return.
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’m generally free before 2 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.

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!)

“My dog, Belle is looking forward to seeing Lisa and staying in her home again. No separation anxiety like the first dog-sitting experiences. Lisa is very caring and responsible lady. I am happy that Belle finds her second home.”
“Greg was amazing. He genuinely loves dogs💕. Was wonderful with our precocious 5 month basset hound. He updated me with pictures and status. I cannot recommend him enough.”
“Margaret is absolutely wonderful! Our pup Riggy had the best time with her — she loved playing in Margaret’s big outdoor yard and came home so happy (and tired!). Margaret kept us updated with lots of adorable photos and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. As an extra sweet surprise, Riggy even came home with a new toy that she hasn’t put down since. 🐾💖 We can’t recommend Margaret enough — she truly goes above and beyond!”
“Daria did a fantastic job with lupo! She was very gentle, patient, and understanding. Lupo tends to get a bit nervous with new people/environments but Daria did a great job making him feel comfortable and providing good care. She also is very responsive and communicates in a timely manner. Will for sure book her 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:)”
“Conner is great! Went out of town for five days and was not worried about Larry once. He was communicative, took Larry on some awesome hikes, and sent photos everyday. The entire process was stress-free! I would recommend him to anyone looking for boarding services!”
“Cynthia is amazing! Mushu has separation anxiety so I was a bit worried about leaving him with a sitter for the first time - especially for a few days! But Cynthia made him feel right at home the first night! She keeps us updated with daily photos of him looking so cozy that it helps me worry less while we’re away from him. I’d give her 10/5 stars if I could!”
“Where do I start, if I could leave a 10 star review I would, from the moment I left my dog with Steven it was pure joy, he was always in contact with updates with pics and videos, he is truly a animal lover, he is so patient and attentive, he will go above and beyond with your dog, I will definitely book again with Steven, thanks a lot Sol my dog was extremely happy staying with Steven. He is awesome!!!”
“Marina is very kind and a great communicator. My doggo had the best time with her new family for the day ❤️ Thanks for taking good care of Coco and for your flexibility.”
“Lizel took great care of Lily when I was out of town. She kept me in the loop with how things were going, and was generally lovely to work with. Would book again!”
“My dog Maggie had the best time at Miry's home. If your dog enjoys kids and lots of activity, Miry's home will be an amazing fit. She got lots of activity with volunteers in the backyard, playtime with kids, and sunbathing with tortoise Betty. She was also very responsive and accommodating when I wasn't as prepared as I usually am for Maggie's stay. Not to mention she sent amazing photos. Can't wait to have Maggie stay with Miry and her family again!”
“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 have had Cathy sit my anxious senior dog many times (as long as 2-weeks) and she has been great! My dog is so comfortable with her and seems to love being with her. Cathy is very attentive and sends updates many times a day. She is very responsive! I would recommend her to anyone!”
“Liridona and her boyfriend Aj took good care of our 12 week puppy on our 2 night trip. Liridona was great at responding to my messages and made sure to send pics/ videos updates. …definitely felt like moon was in great hands. Thank you again!”
“Nini was really sweet and caring with our doggo Bear. He likes lots of attention and play time and she was really good playing fetch with him and taking him on plenty of walks. We would definitely have Nini watch Bear for us again.”
“Just amazing! She is one dedicated, sweet and energetic lady to keep up with my dog. My pup had the best time and I loved knowing she was in good hands. I got the best photos and a full report. Highly recommend Athene! She is one of the best!”
“Sevan did a great job socializing the dogs, training them, and providing overall care. Additionally, he was very accommodating of the travel schedule and changes in pickup times due to traffic. I've visited several times with our huskies and continue to be impressed.”
“I have been going to Jennifer and her family for the past two years and there’s nobody we trust more with Annie. We can always leave town knowing our baby is safe and taken care of. Jennifer always provides updates and photos and Annie returns to us at peace and happy, ALWAYS! THANK YOU JENNIFER!!!”
