“Loving, caring and the perfect sitter - wonderful to our dog, sends a bunch of updates, very communicative, takes such good care of our little boy... Albina is the BEST!”
“Zac is fantastic! My dogs immediately latched on to him and from the photos he sent everyday, they seemed to be having quite the vacation. From lounging under the sun to playing with his cute little pup, I'd definitely send my two pups back to him for another vacation. Thank you so much for being so attentive and sweet to my two girls. Wish I could give 10 stars :)”
“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.”
“Yulia was fantastic! My usually timid dog Daisy warmed up to her immediately. Yulia also made sure to send us a ton of pictures and videos while we were away, which brought us comfort while we were away. Her communication, care and friendliness was A+. We won’t hesitate booking with her again in the future!”
“Angelica was a great host! She welcomed my pup into her home warmly, and took great care of him. A couple nights later, I picked up a very happy dog! She checked in with me while I was away and took the time to ask important questions about George. I would absolutely recommend Angelica!”
“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.”

“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.”

“Irina is amazing!! I highly recommend her for boarding services. She is so loving, caring, and welcoming of my little puppy 🐶. I felt very comfortable leaving him under her care. Every day she would send photos of Rollie that always assured me he is in great hands 🙌. I cannot express how her effective communication gave me peace of mind when I was away. I felt she was very compassionate and took pride in puppy sitting. Thank you so much again Irina!! Me and Rollie will definitely be back. 😇🥰😘😘”
“Tamar watched our French bulldog, Kuma, for a week and did a phenomenal job! She made sure he was comfortable in her home and sent us tons of adorable photos every day, which gave us great peace of mind. It was clear she truly enjoyed spending time with Kuma and treated him like her own. She even made sure all of his belongings were cleaned, washed, and returned in perfect condition. We couldn’t have asked for better care and will definitely book with her again in the future! 🐶✨💕”

“We boarded our pup Yuna with Jane for 5 nights while traveling internationally. We usually leave her with family so we are pretty new to Rover but we instantly felt at ease after a meet and greet with Jane and her sweet dog Mochi. Jane sent tons of updates, photos, and videos and was super easy to communicate with. Yuna looked so happy running around their big backyard, going on walks, and playing with Mochi everyday. I honestly think she was sad to leave! I highly recommend Jane and would definitely book again.”

“Alina was fantastic as always - I only use her when we are out of town now. She is a great communicator, is thoughtful, and takes the silliest pics. She is the best! 💗”
“My husband and I were away on our honeymoon for over two weeks, and Brandi took such amazing care of our two cats while we were gone. She went far beyond just feeding them, she spent time playing with them, paying attention to their personalities and needs, and making sure they felt loved and comfortable the whole time. She also helped with thoughtful little things around the house like bringing in our mail and checking on our plants. Coming home to two happy, relaxed cats gave us so much peace of mind. Brandi is truly caring, thoughtful, and trustworthy, and we couldn’t recommend her more.”
“Ali was outstanding! She took care of my 2 senior cats and my Siamese fell in love with her. The house was super tidy when I returned and it didn’t smell like cats. I would definitely book her again. Highly recommend!”
“Bethany was great! Very accommodating and willing to help watch our cats, we can’t thank you enough for keeping our babies happy while we were away 🥹💜thank you thank you thank you”
“From the moment we met Pixie, we knew our beloved cats were in the best of hands. Her dedication to feline care is evident in every aspect of her service. Pixie is not just a cat sitter; she is a true cat whisperer. Her attention to detail is remarkable. Pixie took the time to understand the unique personalities and needs of each of our cats. She provided tailored care, ensuring that our shy tabby felt secure and our adventurous calico had ample playtime. Pixie's updates, complete with adorable photos, were the highlight of our day while we were away. What sets Pixie apart is her genuine love for cats. She doesn't just look after them; she forms a bond with each one. Her gentle approach and understanding of feline behavior meant that even our most reserved cat warmed up to her quickly. The peace of mind Pixie provided was priceless. We returned home to find our cats happy, healthy, and well-cared for. The house was spotless, and it was clear that our cats had enjoyed their time with her as much as she enjoyed being with them. We wholeheartedly recommend Pixie to any cat owner seeking a trustworthy, compassionate, and skilled cat sitter. She is truly a gem, and our cats can't wait for her next visit!”

“Sara is wonderful! We have a pair of unique foster cats that Sara looked after while we were away. Even from the initial meeting, they took to her! She was so thoughtful and communicative in her care. She really went above and beyond. She shared wonderful photos of them both. We came home to healthy & happy cats. We greatly appreciate her and hope to work with her again in the future.”

About: I love cats and would be so excited to care for your kitty while you’re away! I’ve cared for a senior cat and have experience checking in on cats in their own homes, making sure they have everything they need while their humans are away. I know cats can be creatures of habit, so I’m happy to keep their normal routine as consistent as possible. Whether your cat wants playtime, cuddles, some gentle attention, or prefers to do their own thing while I quietly keep them company, I’m happy to follow their lead. I’m also comfortable giving cats plenty of space if they’re a little shy or take some time to warm up. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, and I’d be excited to make your cat’s day a little more fun while you’re gone. I’m happy to take care of feeding, fresh water, litter boxes, playtime, cuddles, and any other little details that help your kitty feel comfortable and cared for. I’m also very comfortable being in other people’s homes and will treat your home and your pets with the same care and respect I would want for my own. My goal is for you to feel completely comfortable knowing your cat is getting attention, affection, and reliable care while you’re away.

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: 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.
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: 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!
“Frances took in George at the last minute when I had work pop up so early in the morning and she was very kind. She kept me updated on George and took her on multiple walks. He came back super happy and ready for a nap! Thank you so much, Frances. You'll see George again soon I'm sure!!”
“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!”
“I tried this doggy daycare for the first time yesterday, and Sevan was fantastic. He’s extremely knowledgeable, attentive, and clearly understands high-energy dogs. I felt completely comfortable leaving my pup in his care, and she came home happy and very tired. 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!”

“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 dog Bennie loves his walks with Emin. Emin is very chill, easy going and friendly. He gets the job done and is very reliable. This is our second booking with Emin and we will 100% use him again.”
“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!”
“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: Full disclosure, candor, your vocabulary word of choice. Hello, I’m André. I’m a 30y/o Los Angeles pet dad, looking for a nice side gig as well as a way to Connect & edify myself with pet-care & social skills going to forward. Primarily with the animals, yet as well built communicative skills with individuals. -Cheers, André. ✌🏽 Currently I am self-employed. Be that as it may, I have quite the open/flexible schedule. Adherence to any fitted schedule isn’t necessary. Unless communicated prior, scheduling shouldn’t ever be an issue of concern. I’ve been surrounded by, and lived with and have familial pets all throughout my life, but I’ve only recently become a pet father myself as of eight months ago. Actions I take in my home to cater to, and care for my pets include the following: -Thorough research on how to continue to better myself as a parent towards my pets. -Patience becoming more and more a virtue 😅 ha. -Repetition -Understanding Acts of discipline, or constructive experiences to better the bond between myself and my pets, are dismal. Redirection, and communication with the pets consistently build the bond. Consistent, and I mean consistent playtime, proper feeding schedule, toys…I’ve built quite the furniture shop for my cats. Lastly just love them, damn. 😁

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.

About: Hi there fellow pet lovers. If you are in need of attentive, loving care for your fur babies, I am your person :) I have been obsessed with animals my whole life. I have experienced the joy of taking care of dogs, cats, rabbits, gerbils, fish, you name it. If I could have a farm filled with all sorts of cutie pies, I would. I might prefer them over people most of the time ;) These days, I have a lot of time on my hands, yes, the wide open calendar is real, so if you are in my zone and need last minute help taking care of your loved ones (prefer a minimum of 1 day notice, but could help out in case of an emergency), please reach out. I am open to boarding and daycare at my home if that is your preference, but my personal policy is to get to know your pet via drop-ins, walks, or housesitting before I am able to approve said services. I am open to dogs and cats of all ages and needs, but if your pet is a large dog, my requirement is that they are reasonably leash trained so I can ensure safe care for all parties. I appreciate your consideration and hope to meet you and your pet one day! I am currently unemployed so my day is very flexible. I'm open to walks, drop-ins, and housesitting, whichever suits your needs best. I need minimum 1 day in advance notice, but I will consider emergency requests as needed. I have a fenced in yard and your pet will have access to all the public spaces of my home. My personal policy is to get to know your pet via drop-ins, walks, or housesitting before this service is approved.

“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.”

“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.”
“Athene was so great with my new rescue dog Coco. We just adopted her a few months ago and are still getting to know her but had a camping trip planned and couldn't take her on any of the hikes so we needed boarding. Athene lives right in the neighborhood and we set up a meet & greet. Coco was immediately at ease in her space, even with lots of dogs barking behind another door. Athene's temperament is very soothing and confident and the dogs respond to her well. Coco spent 2 nights with her and we got regular updates via photos & videos. Coco apparently demonstrated some resource guarding behavior which Athene handled like a champ by feeding her separately. She let me know about everything as soon as I picked up Coco, which was really helpful as we're still getting to know her ourselves so every little bit of information we can get about her personality & habits helps. Overall, I felt Athene was a super capable boarder and will absolutely use her again!”
“Cynthia did an amazing job with my GSP for 5 days. She has a great setup for dogs, sent lots of pics & videos, and when I picked up my dog he was so tired! I would recommend Cynthia for anybody!”
“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!”
“Daria was great! She was very accommodating and quick to reply to all my texts. She also sent lots of photos which helped put my mind at ease. I will definitely leave my dogs with her again. Thank you!!”
“Loretta was great! They took such amazing care of my dog while I was away—it gave me so much peace of mind knowing she was in such loving and responsible hands. My pup can be a little shy/anxious at first, but she warmed up so quickly thanks to their gentle and caring nature. I received regular updates, and photos which made me feel connected the whole time. When I picked her up, she was happy, and clearly well cared for. Truly grateful to have found someone so trustworthy. Thank you, Loretta!”

“Our dog immediately warmed up to Dione (which can take him a while) and Dione sent photos and took him on lots of walks. Ryder also loved Dione’s large fenced backyard! Looking forward to booking again!”
“We boarded our pup Yuna with Jane for 5 nights while traveling internationally. We usually leave her with family so we are pretty new to Rover but we instantly felt at ease after a meet and greet with Jane and her sweet dog Mochi. Jane sent tons of updates, photos, and videos and was super easy to communicate with. Yuna looked so happy running around their big backyard, going on walks, and playing with Mochi everyday. I honestly think she was sad to leave! I highly recommend Jane and would definitely book again.”
