“Amanda is just the best! She is very responsive and kept me updated with lots of pictures every day. She did a great taking care of my pup and I’d definitely leave my little one with her again!”
“They are literally the best family. Neepsy is so happy when she stays over there- they keep me updated and are so sweet. Couldn’t say enough good things”
“David took great care of my dog, Max. Max couldn’t stop talking about all the adventures they went on, and shenanigans they got up to. He’s got weird eating habits (Max, not David), but they rolled with it and I’ll definitely be using David for future bookings. Happy senior pup!”


“Amanda and her partner took good care of my pooch while I was away for a week. It was a last-minute booking and she was a new sitter for my dog. She sent photos daily and my dog was happy with her stay. The neighborhood is safe and within walking distance to Fort Lauderdale Beach. I would book with her again in the future.”


“I left my Llasha Poo, Charlie, with Adrienne for 5 days. Adrianne took great care of him. She sent pictures and I could see that he felt very comfortable and happy at her home. She and her husband live on a nice street with sidewalks and grassy areas that are perfect for dogs to go on their walks. I am sure Charlie loved it. At pick up time, she was flexible and willing to coordinate with my friend as I was not able to pick up Charlie myself. I would recommend her highly and would not hesitate to have Charlie stay with her in the future.”

“Shimin did a great job with my dogs. One is a puppy and requires a lot of work. She is very loving and patient. I have and will continue to refer friends to her.”

“This was my first time boarding my puppy so I was a bit nervous. Angelica was great with my pup. She kept me updated and texted me once a day (sometimes with pictures) to let me know he was doing ok. My pup got along great with her 2 dogs. I will definitely use Angelica again for boarding.”

“Joyce has boarded Sage twice while I was out of town and she has been excellent. She’s a great communicator and sent me numerous updates, which has allowed me to build a lot of trust with her. Sage is only a puppy, so it’s important to me that I leave her with someone as reliable and trustworthy as Joyce.”

“If you want someone who really cares for your dog as if he was theiir owner then choose Mathew. He is the Dr.Doolittle of dogs ! I had never boarded my dog for a week before, but once I witnessed the way Mathew handled my dog all of my concern’s disappeared. Thanks again Matthew . We will definitely use you again !”

“Sandra and Alfonso were absolutely wonderful. Such a sweet family that made sure to accommodate exactly what my highly anxious dog needed. I would recommend them to anyone!”

“Shanhua was great! We loved all the updates of Sadie. She went straight to them. They took her out often and sent tons of photos. Perfect for quick weekend trips only wish they were available all the time, Sadie loved them!”

“Elva was so amazing with our babies! She kept us updated with all the fun they were having without us ever needing to check in. Loved that she was just a natural at noticing all our dogs funny quirks and enjoyed their company. Appreciate you Elva!!”

“Paul was a great sitter for our Choco! We appreciate his last minute availability and his patience, our baby gets anxious away from home but looked to be warming up to Paul very fast. We received regular video updates during Chico’s stay, & will definitely book with Paul again!”

“Excellent communication, I especially appreciated the updates and photos as this was my dogs first time boarding. He enjoyed himself and I will most certainly be boarding with Selien again in the future!”

“I have a 2.5 year old male Boston Terrier that I needed last second boarding for 4 nights. My friend was to keep him while I was gone but had a medical emergency and had to back out at the last second. I messaged Therese & a couple of other people. Therese was the first to reply & the only reply that wasn't asking a lot of questions like they were looking for a reason not to board him. Therese asked me the important questions (vaccination records, walk and feeding schedules) & asked me to come for a meet and greet which I did & felt completely at ease leaving Boomer with her. Boomer had the best time there with her 2 little ones. She sent me pics & even let me know that she had an additional dog coming for day care. I didn't worry about Boomer one bit & was able to enjoy my short vacation. I highly recommend Therese & will message her first the next time I need to board Boomer!”

“It was our 2nd time having Shay care for our cats for 3 nights. She was patient, professional and detail-oriented as always. Thank you for being our cats friend when we’re away :)”


“Narin is so professional and communicative, and this really put us at ease when we were out of town for a spell. She takes time to take photos of her charges and to share informative notes. I would 100% book Narin again, and you should book her as well!”


“Sydney was attentive and gave very thorough updates after each check-in visit! From the photos, it looked like Beanie had great time hanging out and cuddling with Sydney as well. The apartment was kept very neat.”

“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.”


“Brandi was great, she was very easy with communications and always arrived on time and sent detailed cards at the end of each session with photos and videos. Will definitely book her again! Thank you!”

“Alexandra is a lifesaver!!! I had to book last minute travel and I was worried about leaving my kitty because he needs daily medication (and he’s shy and independent), but Alexandra was so patient with him and was able to find ways to get him to take his medicine. I felt so good knowing Alex was looking after him. She’s a great communicator and you can tell that she loves pets and treats yours like her own. Highly recommend!”


“Trinity was super communicative and responsive both during the booking process and while she was watching my cat. She treated him great, paid great attention to his needs, and took lots of pictures of them playing and hanging out. Would 100% book again!”


“Ingrid is fantastic! She’s super friendly, helpful, reliable and responsive. Our three cats loved her, and were happy with her visits. One of our cats is extremely shy and hides from 99% of people, and she took to Ingrid immediately (we are impressed!). We highly recommend working with Ingrid and are grateful for the excellent care she provided while we were away. Thanks so much!”

“Having Mike take care of our cats has made us feel at ease when going on trips. Cats are well taken care of, happy with the company, and we get lots of pictures with the updates. Thanks again, Mike!”

“Charmaine showed Leo so much love while we were away! It makes us feel so at ease, knowing he was safe and happy with her. Thanks, Charmaine, for taking such great care of our furbaby!!!”


“Another great visit with Alex. We were away for about a week and came back to an apartment that looked like we never left. I genuinely don’t know how he does it. The cats were happy and relaxed, honestly like they didn’t miss us at all, which says everything. He stayed on top of all the feeding instructions we left, which we really appreciated, and made sure everything was handled exactly as requested. He also kept us posted on little things around the apartment, including the Roomba, making sure it was emptied, reset, and charging so it could keep running while we were gone. That level of attention makes a big difference. We always feel at ease leaving our home and pets with Alex. Really grateful for him and all the care he puts into it.”


“Sara was on time & super responsive the entire time. She took the cutest photos of our cats and even was able to get close to our less social one, who is typically scared of strangers. Definitely recommend booking.”


“This is my second time booking Yesenia to care for my two cats and we are again very happy with the care they received. She fed them, provided medication as instructed, and made sure to bring in any mail we received while we were away. She is also quick to respond and a great communicator. We will definitely book Yesenia again in the future!”

“Laura took such fantastic care of our cat Otto during a long trip, taking extra care and coordination because he had hurt his paw the day before we left and had to see the vet. Otto adored her and trusted her, and she showered him with fun and attention and love. We so appreciated her excellent communication. You'd be hard pressed to find anyone as reliable and caring and kind. We appreciated her care so much - as did Otto!”


“Ayman watched Daisy, our 2 year old kitty for two weeks, while we were on vacation. We were a little concerned that her cat might not get along with ours but were assured that Ayman knew how to handle the two and would keep them in separate rooms until they decided they wanted to get together. Ayman was great at sending photos and little videos showing their progress and by the end of day 2 they were all getting along very nicely and it really helped us to relax into our vacation. We recommend her highly and will gladly use her again when the need comes up.”


“Jacquie was wonderful!! Very communicative, and such a big help. My cat immediately was comfortable with her and it seemed like they had a good time together! Will be rebooking and highly recommend her with any furry friend.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Rancho San Rafael
Prices are estimates per day for 1 dog. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
About: I raised my 2 mini schnauzers from puppyhood through their twilight years and loved every second of it. We made many other dog friends along the way, including the occasional sleepover. I work remotely from home, so it’s easy for me to adapt to whatever schedule your dog is used to! I travel for 2-3 weeks in the year around (but typically not during) holidays. My apartment complex is gated with great walking areas for the community’s many pets. A public park is just next door with hiking trails for higher energy pups. I also have extra beds, crates, leashes, bowls, and toys if you forget yours or prefer not to haul them around.
“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.”

About: From exotic to domesticated animals, I have been loving and taking care of them. Always and forever will have space in our hearts and home. I am available most days since I work from home and have time to watch and care for your fur babies. I enjoy walking and play time outside. The yard is fenced and we have a shed at the back that can be a safe space for pets and they are welcome to explore the space.
“Sylvia and Ethan have always been great with our pooch, we have been taking him there for a couple of years now and he loves it and we couldn't be happier with everything they do for him and the service they provide us, thanks as always guys!”
“Daisy is the best! She was patient and caring with my senior dog, Betty, and accommodating with my schedule change. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a trusted pet sitter.”

“Very communicative and always excited to see our Luna! Luna basically runs inside now and I've never seen her so happy outside our home. Thank you so much for taking such good care of her!”

“Michael to the rescue!! Even with short notice, he was able to come through in sitting my girl for the day. Kind, respectful & communicated well through the whole exchange. Would book again!”

“Jonalyn was fantastic with my dog! She sent so many photos and kept Mocha busy and got her tired, which is hard to do. Mocha is usually nervously reluctant to separate from me, but every time we went to Jonalyn's, she got so excited. Definitely booking again!”

About: I've shared my home with two to four dogs since coming to LA 15 years ago. Because I work from home, your pup gets a calm, dog-savvy human nearby all day — frequent yard breaks, play, and belly rubs instead of hours alone. I'm comfortable with puppies, seniors, medications, and high-energy dogs, and I keep my numbers small so every dog gets real one-on-one attention. I work from home on a flexible schedule, so your dog has company and supervision for most of the day — regular walks, play, and potty breaks, not long stretches alone. I offer boarding and daycare and take just one family's dog or two at a time, and I'm glad to keep your dog's normal routine for meals, naps, and bedtime. I always mark as unavailable any days I have travel or major time commitments that will keep me away from home for more than an hour or two, so they will have constant care while they're here. Your dog will have free range of my 3 bedroom home, detached studio, and very large, securely fenced backyard full of fruit trees. I don't have pets of my own right now, so your pup gets the whole space and my full attention. I'm happy to crate or set up a quiet separate area if that's what your dog is used to, and I keep things calm and low-stress. I have a doggy door for dogs who prefer to let themselves in/out at their leisure. I converted our detached 2 car garage into a recording studio, where I work, so we have the quietest place in town in the event we have to make it through fireworks or if your pet prefers quiet or isolation. Both the house and studio have their own separate HVAC systems, so they'll definitely stay comfortable. I have always slept with my own dogs, so happy to co-sleep with yours if that's what they're used to, but also glad to maintain whatever rules you generally set for them in regard to being on beds/furniture.
“Therese is AMAZING! She takes such good care of our high energy dog and is extremely communicative with us. She goes above and beyond every time. I truly wouldn’t want to trust my pup with anyone else!”

“Jordan was super helpful in watching my dog, Pip, on short notice. Excellent communication and Pip warmed right up, so I felt totally confident leaving him in her care. Thank you again!”


About: Hello, my name is Charlie! I have been a dog owner for 13+ years and recently said goodbye to my best friend. I have missed having a dog around and started pet sitting for friends and family and absolutely loved it. I have a house in Glendale with a fenced in backyard in a very safe neighborhood. So whether it's a day time visit or a fortnight stay, I have exactly what you need. My top priority is SAFETY and I will watch your dog like a hawk while they are with me. I know the hardest part of travel is leaving your pet with a stranger so I strive to make both pets and owners feel comfortable. I am a part time actor and have a very open schedule so your pet will never be alone for long periods of time. I love to cuddle on the couch, take walks around the neighborhood or play in the yard. Please let me know if you have any questions for concerns, thanks! I am a part time actor so I have a lot of free time waiting around for auditions haha! I typically spend some time at the gym but otherwise I am home all day and available for your pets! I have a fenced-in backyard in a very safe, walkable, neighborhood. My top priority is safety and I promise to keep a close eye on your dog especially when outdoors. I have no other pets in the home so they will get all my focus and attention and I do not invite others over while your pets are here, so there will absolutely be no strangers around them. Happy to accommodate any special requests (medications, vet visits, feeding requirements, necessary lullabies lol)
“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!”

“Excellent Dog Sitter I highly recommend her as a dog sitter! Seungyeon was wonderful with my dog, very caring, responsible, and trustworthy. I felt completely comfortable knowing my dog was in such good hands. She kept me updated and treated my dog like her own. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a loving and reliable dog sitter! 🐶❤️”

“I needed a dog sitter on very short notice, and I’m so glad I found Angelica! She was incredibly friendly and welcoming from the moment we connected. Both of my dogs took to her right away, and when I picked them up, they kept going back to her to be pet and attention, that says it all! It's clear Angelica has a genuine love for animals and a special way with them. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”

“Kyle and Jennifer were so generous with their time, accommodating a meet-and-greet / trial for my nervous pup. He was skittish when I dropped him off, but was best friends with Kyle by the time I picked him up. I was happy he got to enjoy (supervised) time in their backyard, since we don’t have one at home. Great communication throughout. Five stars; Rio looks forward to his next visit!”

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: Hi My name is Myriam and I own a dog. I live in a quiet neighborhood and I have a part-time job that leaves me a lot of flexibility. I love dogs and got tons of experience with them. I own a eight months maltipoo puppy. As s kid, I was raised with cats, and birds. I promise I’ll take good care of your pet ! I love dogs all size and all breeds. I started taking care of my friends golden retriever, when they went away to Australia, and I fell in love with walking dogs. I’m patient and I love caring for dogs and cats. I love petting them, playing with them, taking care of them and walking dogs . Seriously... Sometimes I feel I like dogs more than people!!!! I’ll be your dog’s new best friend. I will always be there for them:)) I’m flexible and can’t wait to start walking your dog !!! HI- I’m available mornings for early walks, mid-day, afternoons & evenings (except some Fridays...) Would prioritize walks & visits close to my home. Thank you for trusting me with your fur babies. I have many references of past clients for whom I cared for their dog at home. Will be happy to provide. I give frequent updates, photos etc and make sure they get all the attention they deserve.

“Bethany was such an amazing dog sitter. She took really good care of our pups, they love her!! She played a dog YouTube playlist for them during the storm so they weren’t scared and even offered to do an extra drop-in in case we were stuck coming back from Las Vegas. We really appreciated her for that, she’s a our new dog sitter lol”


“My two small dogs were so excited when they first met Alina and felt comfortable right away. I plan on having her walk my dogs on a weekly basis. I find Alina to be kind, professional, responsible, and reliable. She also responds quickly and completes tasks efficiently.”
“It was my first time using Rover and Megan did an awesome job! She was very communicative and put me at ease. She was also kind and professional. She took many pics and Teddy looked very happy walking with her. I would definitely use Megan again!”

“Carlos was fantastic with our pup, who has some behavioral issues. He’s thoughtful and communicative, putting me at ease right away. Our high-energy pup came back tired, which is a minor miracle.”

About: I have taken care of dogs from 5 lbs up to 92 lbs. All dogs have big hearts! I currently have a senior special needs dog, so being attentive is natural. I will always ask for allergies or special needs your pet may have. I am currently working from home, so I will have plenty of time to play with your pups! I am currently available 6 days a week. I have a senior dog that can provide company for your dog. Small or long walks are fine. I can also crate a dog, if needed.
About: A little about me, before the pandemic I walked dogs daily for 3 years for a local dog walking company as a side hustle to acting. The past 6 years I have housesat dogs, boarded dogs, and fed & cared for cats. I am joining Rover to expand back to walking dogs, and to continue feeding cats, boarding and dog sitting. I love animals and enjoy spending time outside and walking. My husband and I do not currently have pets of our own, which allows us to watch friends pets, and now hopefully yours! I have regular clients I walk and care for, and now have the availability to take on more! Whether you need mornings, afternoons, or evenings I am flexible to meet your pets needs. I follow the pet rules of individual clients when in their home. When I am watching pets in my own home they are allowed on the sofas, and the bed. We live in an apartment in a very pet friendly area with optimal choices for walks.
“Alexandra was great with Jack. He has not been used to other people walking him and she did a wonderful job in getting him to go on longer walks than he does even with us! She was so responsive, always on time and overall terrific. We highly recommend her and will definitely use her again.”

“We had a great meet and greet with Courtney. She was punctual and our Dutch shepherd Sergio warmed up to her right away. She was at ease walking him. We look forward to more walks and getting further acquainted!”

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.
“Stephanie is great. She’s walked our new pup for us while we are at work. Always very responsive, leaves great pictures, and the Rover “report card” for walks is so cute! Just like daycare you know what your dog did while you were gone.”


“Thank goodness for Kendi! A weight is lifted off my shoulders knowing I have someone so reliable to care for my dog! She responds quickly and gets the jobs done no problem!”

“I'm so particular about who cares for my pets and enters my home while I'm not there, but I wholeheartedly trust Johanna! My girls love her and I know they're in good hands with her around. Absolutely my go-to walker / sitter!”

“Corey & Claire are awesome. Super kind, always showed up, and were great with our dog. They also helped us out on short notice because of a last minute need. We will 100% use them again and can’t recommend them enough!”

“Amazing job by Shelly once again!! The dogs love her and seemed to have a great time - they always looked happy in the constant update photos she sent us. When one of our dogs had a pre-existing stomach issue act up, Shelly sent us constant updates and went out of her way to administer medicine and nurse him back to 100%. Her experience and love for dogs always keep us coming back.”


“MaiKayla and her family were great with our pup! It was our first time leaving him and he couldn’t have been happier during his time away. Would definitely recommend!!!”

“Donghae was absolutely amazing with my pup! From the moment they met, I could tell my dog felt comfortable and cared for. Donghae went above and beyond—taking the most adorable photos and sending regular updates that truly made me feel at ease while I was away. You can tell he genuinely loves animals, and it shows in how happy and relaxed my dog was. I couldn’t ask for a better sitter. Highly recommend and will definitely be booking again!”

“Elva was so amazing with our babies! She kept us updated with all the fun they were having without us ever needing to check in. Loved that she was just a natural at noticing all our dogs funny quirks and enjoyed their company. Appreciate you Elva!!”

“Nicholas is a great at dog sitting. He paid attention to our needs and has a great home to host my two dogs. I recommend him strongly. Thank you, I will be booking with him again!”

“I have a 2.5 year old male Boston Terrier that I needed last second boarding for 4 nights. My friend was to keep him while I was gone but had a medical emergency and had to back out at the last second. I messaged Therese & a couple of other people. Therese was the first to reply & the only reply that wasn't asking a lot of questions like they were looking for a reason not to board him. Therese asked me the important questions (vaccination records, walk and feeding schedules) & asked me to come for a meet and greet which I did & felt completely at ease leaving Boomer with her.

“Katia has been a blessing! Doggies seem very happy when I’m picking them up. I could just tell that they were well taken care of. They’ll definitely see you again soon! Thank you so much!”

“Thank you for being so welcoming to Lulu. She looks like she had a great time and we appreciate your updates and photos. She will gladly go back for a visit.”

“Liv was professional, responsive, including calls, texts, and photos. Most importantly she took great care of my beloved. I could see in the photos she was relaxed and enjoying her time with Liv and when I picked her up she was happy, clean and showed no signs of stress. Not so with some previous sitters. I highly recommend Liv and will definitely be using her again!”

“Margaret is an incredibly kind, loving and generous dog-sitter! She watched our sweet but timid boy for a week during the holiday season (thank you for your availability! We were concerned that no one would be able to watch him during that busy time) and took such great care of him. She walked him in the pouring rain, bought him treats and gifts, and even took the most adorable pictures of him in holiday gear. She texts updates and pictures several times and day and responds to texts immediately. She treats all the dogs she cares for as if they are her own. You won't find a sweeter person to leave your baby with. Thank you for giving us such comfort and peace of mind!”

“Daisy was beyond excellent! I have a very nervous staffy and she felt at ease the entire time and had a blast with Daisy’s dog. Daisy was so communicative and sent a number of pictures to keep me updated. I could not have asked for a better sitter and highly recommend her to anyone!”

“One of the best I have met. I don’t worry about them. She gives them so much love and follows the same routine we have in place at our home. I truly recommend her when looking for a safe, caring, loving sitter for your pet!”
“Kseniia is wonderful. She went above and beyond for my senior dog. Even went as far as making a diet list for him and bought him special food as well when he was being a picky eater.”

“This was our second boarding for our pup with Miry and her family, and they continue to provide the best care. Thank you for loving on Archie, playing with him to get all his energy out, going on multiple walks a day, and giving him another home away from home. We can always count on them for a good dog stay!”
