“We really appreciated Lisa (and her family’s) care for our dog Kunga! She was flexible with pick-up and drop-off times and sent updates. Kunga loved her time there. Would totally leave Kunga with Lisa again.”
“Using this service was so easy and rates are great for having your little one watched over, we met Albina. Sweet person and after talking with her we could tell she likes animals. Thank you for your help.”
“Dan is a Dog Whisperer. He always makes my little hero Pirate one of the pack in his pooch-friendly home. We’ve left Pirate with him before, but this was for 17 days. Pirate had such a good time with Dan and his dogs that when we reunited today, Pirate gave me kind of a side eye that said, “Hey, I like hanging out here. No rush to come home.” Seriously though, Dan has a very warm, calming presence and we’ll call on him again! Thank you!”
“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. 😇🥰😘😘”
“Sevan took care of Tucker, our 5-year old mixed breed dog, over the Christmas holiday. He kept in close communication, sent lots of pictures, and worked with Tucker on some training issues. He is a true professional and an excellent dog handler. We had a great meet & greet a few weeks before Tucker's boarding that alleviated all of my concerns. Can't recommend him highly enough!”
“Ryder loves Greg and we appreciate all the updates and knowing our pup is well cared for with lots of outside time at Greg’s house. Will definitely book again!”
“Sojeong and her family were amazing at taking care of our baby! Lots of updates and pictures, and Kiwi seemed very comfortable and happy 😊 Thank you for taking such great care of our Kiwi!!”
“Angelica was amazing with our pup! We were so nervous as we’ve had a bad experience when we left our Beagle puppy at a local pet resort and this was our first trip after that experience. However, Angelica went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable even before the actual booking. My husband and I travel a lot and after booking with Angelica we feel so confident that we’ve found a great boarding option for our pup. Our pup was so happy when we dropped her off and picked her up. Angelica sent us tons of pictures and updates for the days she had our pup. We are so happy with her service! Will definitely be booking again with her.”
“leaving our 3 chihuahuas with lisa and trevor and her family gives us great peace of mind while away. they are always happy and healthy within their care. we are grateful we’ve found a devoted dog whispering sitter in lisa and trevor! see you next time!”
“Tamar was fantastic! She was very responsive and asked great questions before watching my dog Rus. She sent a ton of photos while Rus was with her, and I could tell he was super comfortable and having a wonderful time. I would highly recommend Tamar!”
“We hired Janice to take care of our mini Aussie for a week while out of town. She and her family were amazing and our pup took to them right away. She was awesome at providing regular updates, photos and videos. We are so happy to have found her and will be using her again! ❤️”
“Yulia asked very thoughtful questions in preparation to Stella’s stay, she was also very communicative throughout the stay sending me constant updates and pictures.”
“Magdalena took care of my dog Marty overnight. She sent many updates with photos/videos. Marty had a very eventful and active stay. He was very happy and Magdalena took great care of him. She also agreed very last minute when I had to leave town, which was hugely appreciated. I would absolutely use her services again.”
“Katrina has taken care of my elderly dog for two weeks while I was on an Asia trip. She was the best person for my dog to look after - kept up with the consistent communication, checked up on his health, and gave him the best walks. When I picked up my dog, he looked SO happy and even looked better!! My dog currently misses her after we left so I need to book her again soon!! 😂”
About: I've been pet sitting for 20 years. Neighbors, friends & family have relied on me to walk, feed & bathe their pets. I adore all animals and would love to care for your fur baby. I work from home with a flexible schedule, which makes it easy to care for your pets when you need me. I am always on time and communicate often. I will follow your instructions on how to care for your baby in your home. I can even send photos and keep you updated throughout the day. (I should mention that I am also a professional pet photographer!)
“Wow! Just all positive things to say! Adrienne & her husband are very kind and their dog Phoebe is the sweetest thing! My dog enjoyed her stay, got all the attention and love she could ask for and will be coming back next time we are in need of a sitter. Thanks again for providing a comfortable environment for my pup! :)”
“Bianca was absolutely wonderful. We left Maple with her for 10 days while we were traveling, and she took such great care of her. She kept us updated every single day with messages, photos, and videos, which gave us so much comfort while we were away. We couldn’t be happier with the experience. It truly gives us peace of mind knowing we have someone we completely trust to care for our dog whenever we travel. Highly recommend Bianca to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”
“Ana and Mitchell were incredibly caring with Sophie. I needed a last-minute sitter for Sophie, who isn’t used to being home alone yet at 5 months, and they were amazing. What I love about them is that someone is always home and they only take one dog at a time. They were quick to schedule a meet-and-greet and were very welcoming. Sophie got to meet their dog, Ellie, and they got along instantly. Ana and Mitchell were flexible, accommodating, and asked thoughtful questions to make sure Sophie’s needs were met. We set up a short doggy date for a couple of hours, and it went perfectly- Sophie didn’t even notice we had left! Since leaving Sophie is new for us, we appreciated the frequent updates and their respect for her schedule. She came home happy and content, and it was clear she had a great time. Sophie will definitely be back soon. We even forgot a couple of things at their house and stopped by later, and Sophie was eager to go back inside to Ana and Mitchell’s home- showing just how comfortable she feels there.”

About: I grew up with a cat and have helped care for friends’ cats over the years, including multiple-cat households and a diabetic cat who needed insulin injections. I’m calm, dependable and happy to follow your cat’s lead, whether they want cuddles, quiet company or plenty of space. I know cats each have their own personalities, and I’ll make sure yours feels safe, cared for and respected while you’re away.
“Jane is super top notch!!! I can’t recommend her enough. It can be a little nerve-wracking to be out of the country for over a week, however my mind was at ease regarding my pets and my home. Jane was very consistent with her high-quality care and communication, with regular updates that didn’t leave anything up to assumption. I always knew what was getting done, with any questions or concerns being quickly addressed. Jane spent extra time playing with our 4-month old kitten who was alone at home for the first time. The amount of thought and care she put in was extremely evident and appreciated. Her demeanor was always calm, easy-going, friendly, and to-the-point. She went above and beyond. Don’t think twice about hiring Jane to keep your loved ones happy and safe!”
“Kitties loved her and she was sure to communicate every day! It was a relief to know someone was checking in while I was away. I’d have her care for my cats again for sure.”
About: I’ve had 4+ years of dog walking experience in big cities such as San Francisco. Experience with dog walking, sitting, and boarding. Neighbors have relied on me for their fur baby’s needs for 10+ years! I’m a huge dog lover myself growing up with small to medium size dogs for years. All the dogs have been rescue dogs or adopted from shelters locally. I’m an active RN looking for a fun way to make more money and stay healthy. I am currently working as an RN.

I am gentle with puppies, rescue dogs, and elderly dogs. I am able to work with all types of dogs!
“Alex is the best! Our cats adore him, and my partner and I travel without anxiety knowing that they’re in good hands. He’s an excellent and thorough communicator (and also a nice really guy!)”
“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.”
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. Although I am extremely comfortable around cats, my approach is friendly but always cautious and respectful. I am the go-to cat sitter for my friends going on trips and have been around cats my whole life.
“Aksana did a great job looking after my kitties! she was very communicative and followed the directions I gave to a tee! I definitely will be rebooking in the future any time I need a sitter.”
About: I currently have a cat and have years of experience caring for animals. As a cat owner, I understand that every cat has a unique personality and comfort level. I am patient, attentive, and respectful of their boundaries while still making sure they receive plenty of care, affection, and enrichment. I'm comfortable with feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, playtime, administering basic care, and monitoring for any changes in behavior or well-being. My goal is to help your cat feel safe, comfortable, and stress free while you're away. 🐱💕
“First time Rover user here and Eliana helped me with the app and put me at ease when taking care of my cat. She was very communicative, took great photos and left adorable notes that I looked forward to everyday. Will absolutely book again”
“Pixie was wonderful with my 14y/o cat Marmalade! I was a little worried about leaving her for 5 days, but Pixie sent photos and videos and kept us updated each check-in. She was extremely attentive to my cat's needs and even brought in our mail/packages that were delivered. She's a great sitter and I'll re-book her the next time we are out of town :)”
“Casey was awesome! I had to schedule her house sit last minute and she was super responsive, on time, and communicated super fast with me. We had a meet and greet to see if my cat would be ok with her dog (which I wasn't sure how he would react to dogs and Bella was lovely and is super-highly trained). She stayed with us during the meet and greet until I was comfortable with their interaction (my cat wasn't a fan but they did well enough for me to feel comfortable and knowing he wouldn't be super stressed) and she answered all my questions. She kept me informed (with pictures) every day on their day-to-day and was super respectful of and attentive to my cat's special needs. Kobe needs a balanced diet with many supplements and a strict medicine schedule and she took amazing care of him. My apartment was also super tidy and clean when I returned. I'm beyond relieved I can trust Kobe with Casey in the future with no worries! Thank you so much, Casey!!”
“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!”

“Thank you so much Albina!! It was very last minute and bullet had a good time. You were very communicative and the drop off and pick up was very quick. If I was in your area, she would be regular there.”
“Isabel took a great care of my dog while we were at the Rose Bowl game. She’s great with communication and was very quick in responding for drop off and pick up. Will definitely use her again next time we visit SoCal.”
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.

“Sojeong and her family provide great care for my dog. My dog is a little shy and afraid, but he got along well with the family and the other small dog they were dog sitting for at the time.”
“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!”

“Michelle & Liz are such amazing caretakers! They’re so attentive to any special requirements your pup may have, and are so kind. We had to reschedule because my dog got sick, and they checked up on her just because they cared. It meant so much! They are great sitters.”
“Jessica was AMAZING with my dog Daisy! Daisy is usually very shy and doesn’t approach strangers but she ran to Jessica as soon as she saw her and was very excited to spend the day with her. Such a great sign! Jessica also took Daisy to the park which I really appreciate! I would 100% book 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. Your dog will have free range of my 3 bedroom home, detached studio, and very large, securely fenced yard. I don't have pets of my own right now, so your pup gets the whole space and my full attention — no other animals to compete with. 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.
“Lisa and Trevor were very sweet!! She was super on top of its, even called me before the session to make sure I can talk to her about anything special regarding teddy. During the stay she kept me updated and made sure he was having a good time. Great stay!”
“My Pup was having so much fun and taken care of by Erika. We came from San Jose and didn't want to leave my pup in pet hotel. We booked her last minute because we took the kids to Universal Studio. She is amazing petsitter. Definitely recommended.”
About: I have pets of my own. I see pets as part of family so the care I provide is same as for my fuzzy love bugs, lots of luv and snuggles and maybe some extra treats if permitted ;) I know what’s it like to be away from your fuzzy friends so I will provide regular updates if you wish so. Available on weekdays/ weekends- mostly flexible schedule. Can stay overnight if needed, available on holidays. Can stop by for short time to check on your pets, play with them and feed them.

About: We are not ready to own a pet full time just yet but I would love to help other owners with their pets. I do have children my youngest being 6 so they do have to be children friendly but I also have a safe space your pet can be separate from them when they want or need to be. I grew up with all different types of animals my whole life as well as worked taking care of, full time, a rescue that consisted of 16 cats, 5 dogs and 5 horses. So I am very familiar with animals and their needs. This is the first time I have not had a pet in my life which is why I decided to join this app. Hope to see you and your pets soon!!

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: I’ve been dog sitting and walking dogs since I was in high school for neighbors, friends, and even a few of my teachers. I grew up around animals and have always loved spending time with them. At my childhood home we would often watch friends’ dogs while they were away, so caring for pets has been part of my life for a long time. Most of my experience is with dogs, but I’ve also cared for cats and other small pets. I even had a pet bird for a couple of years, so I’ve always enjoyed being around animals of all kinds. I work as a film editor, and Rover is something I do on the side because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and getting outside for walks. It’s a nice way to break up the day and spend time with some great pets. I’m comfortable with drop-ins, walks, feeding, playtime, and making sure pets feel safe and relaxed while their owners are away. I tend to work more with dogs, but I’m happy to help with cats as well depending on the situation. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always try to make visits calm, fun, and stress-free for them. I’m always happy to do a quick meet-and-greet beforehand so your pet can get to know me and we can make sure it’s a good match. I have a flexible schedule and can usually fit pet visits easily into my day. I work as a film editor, so I’m often working from home and can step out for drop-ins, walks, feeding, or playtime. Pet visits are something I enjoy doing to get outside and spend time with animals, so I try to make each visit relaxed and attentive for your pet. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always try to keep things calm and consistent with their usual routine. I’m attentive to instructions for feeding, walks, medications, or anything else your pet needs. I make sure pets feel comfortable while their owners are away and treat every home with respect and care.
“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!”
About: I grew up with two dogs and currently have a cat, so I have years of hands on experience caring for both dogs and cats. My dogs are still an important part of my life, and caring for them has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and understanding each pet's unique personality and needs. I am comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, cleaning up after pets, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I treat every pet as if they were my own and will provide plenty of attention, care, and companionship while you're away. 🐾 I'm a college student with a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care throughout the week. I can accommodate feeding schedules, playtime, litter box cleaning, walks, and check ins while making sure pets receive the care and companionship they need. Since I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, pet care fits naturally into my daily routine and I make it a priority to provide reliable, attentive care for every pet. 🐾 For drop in visits, I care for pets in the comfort of their own home where they feel safest and most relaxed. I follow each pet's routine by providing fresh food and water, cleaning litter boxes or taking dogs out for potty breaks, playtime, exercise, and plenty of attention. I always respect your home's rules and make sure doors, gates, and windows are secure before leaving. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a calmer approach, I adapt to their needs to ensure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you're away. 🐾🐶🐱
“Samantha is great! She took such good care of our dog, Javi! I received photos and updates on his walks. She made sure to follow all instructions on taking care of him-feeding him and making sure that he was walked and did his business as usual = ) Samantha made sure to keep our home secure when she left after the walks. I felt very comfortable with her having access to my home. Javi was very well taken care of and seemed very happy when we came home. I would highly recommend Samantha to anyone who may need a walker or sitter for their pets.”
About: I’ve been petsitting for 12+ years and fostering animals for 8+ years! I have taken care of many dogs under age 1 as well as senior dogs. I also have experience fostering kittens (as young as 2 weeks old) and cats! I am fluent in both Korean and English! Also, one of my family members is a veterinary assistant :) My home is condominium, and the floor is hardwood. I have a small patio area inside my house. I also have a small grass area for the residents — it’s located outside my house but inside the condominium complex. Pets are always welcome to sleep on bed or relax on our furniture! Usually, we take the pets out for potty breaks 4 times a day—first one in the morning, second one around noon, third one in the afternoon, and last one at night, right before bed. We also use the small patio area for potties if they need to potty more frequently. I take them on walks in the afternoon! For cats, I clean the litter box as soon as I see that they used it. I also have plenty of toys, treats, and cardboard scratchers! My parents and I will be available to take care of your pets full-time! My family (5) is also available to take care of the pets most of the time! If you do not want your pet/pets to interact with other pets, I can separate them upstairs and downstairs. At least one person will be available upstairs and downstairs so the pets are not left alone! Our condominium complex has two doors/gates (front and back) . I look forward to sitting your pets!
About: What sets me apart is that caring for animals isn’t just a job for me—it’s truly my passion. I’m working toward becoming a Certified Veterinary Assistant and studying as a pre-vet student, so I bring not only love but also real knowledge about pet health and behavior. I’m also Pet CPR and First Aid certified, which gives me peace of mind knowing I can handle emergencies, and hopefully gives you peace of mind too. I spend a lot of my free time volunteering at the Humane Society, gaining hands-on experience with dogs, cats, and other animals of all kinds. On top of that, I have a dog and cat of my own, so I know exactly how much trust it takes to leave your furry family members with someone else. I promise to treat your pets with the same care and affection I give my own. Pet care naturally fits into my daily and weekly routine because it’s something I genuinely love and look forward to. As a student at UC San Diego and part-time employee at a radiology company, I’ve learned how to stay organized and balance responsibilities in a professional way. That means I can reliably fit your pet’s needs into my schedule while giving them the attention they deserve. Caring for animals and studying veterinary medicine are truly two of my favorite things, and I can’t wait to apply my knowledge and passion toward keeping your pets happy, healthy, and loved. When I care for your pets, their safety and comfort are always my top priorities. In your home, I make sure to follow your routines closely—whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, or medication—so your pets feel secure and at ease in their familiar environment. I take extra care to keep doors, leashes, and surroundings safe, and since I’m Pet CPR and First Aid certified, I’m prepared for any unexpected situation. I know how important trust is when letting someone care for your furry family, and I treat your pets and your home with the same respect and care I would want for my own. Safe, reliable, and loving care—because your pets deserve the best.
“It was a really good experience working with Lanice. I am excited to work with her again. My puppies are very strong and can be difficult to control if you are not patient. Lanice was willing to take the time for Hazel bell and Zeus to get to know her and take instructions. I will definitely be booking her again.”
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.
“So grateful to Eliana for being able to take on the job so last minute and perfectly follow the care instructions for my boys without needing the meet and greet. The dogs loved her and I could 100% trust her with my apartment. Despite the challenges my dogs can put someone new through, she handled it all with great professionalism and experience!”

We really appreciated her detailed notes and great photos. She even brought in our packages, which was so nice. We definitely recommend her and will be booking her in the future!”
About: Hi, my name is Sophie! I’ve been caring for dogs since I was eight years old, working with small and large breeds of all ages — from playful puppies to calm seniors. I’ve successfully handled untrained dogs and sick dogs as well. I am capable of following dietary guidelines and physical requirements your pet might require. I’m great at reading their moods and energy, so they always feel safe and comfortable. Animals truly are my safe place and I promise to provide the up most care and attention to your furry friend. I’m currently in LA with a completely open summer schedule, so I can give your pet my full attention whenever you need me. I’m completely available Monday through Saturday with flexible times. I’m not working this summer, so I can easily help with walks and drop-in visits around your schedule. I care for pets in your home so they stay in their familiar environment. For walks and check-ins I’ll come to you, keep your place exactly how I found it, and send updates and photos every visit so you always know your dog is safe and happy.

“We really appreciated Lisa (and her family’s) care for our dog Kunga! She was flexible with pick-up and drop-off times and sent updates. Kunga loved her time there. Would totally leave Kunga with Lisa again.”
“Sevan took care of Tucker, our 5-year old mixed breed dog, over the Christmas holiday. He kept in close communication, sent lots of pictures, and worked with Tucker on some training issues. He is a true professional and an excellent dog handler. We had a great meet & greet a few weeks before Tucker's boarding that alleviated all of my concerns. Can't recommend him highly enough!”
“Ryder loves Greg and we appreciate all the updates and knowing our pup is well cared for with lots of outside time at Greg’s house. Will definitely book again!”

“This is my second time booking with Daria, and once again, they exceeded my expectations! My dog absolutely loves them, and I always feel at ease knowing my pup is in such caring and capable hands. She provides regular updates, photos, and truly treats my dog like their own. Coming home to a happy, well-cared-for pet makes all the difference. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy, reliable, and loving dog sitter. Thank you again for your outstanding care!””
“Cathy was so sweet and accommodating to my cat Luna. She was very good at keeping me posted and sharing pictures of my baby girl. At pick up, my cat did not want to leave her! I highly recommend Cathy!”
“Just picked up the happiest/ chilled boy fromJessica - he had the BEST stay with them and will miss he’s new bestie Fang ! THANKYOU for taking such great care of him !”

“Josie is amazing! My pup had a great time with her while I was away on vacation. I think he had a better time than I did! Josie is very responsive and sends daily updates with the best photos. I will definitely rebook with Josie again.”
“Stephanie was responsive, friendly and took such great care of my corgi pup Cleo! Her dog makes a great friend to any pup that stays with them, and Cleo came home exhausted after 2 days of play! Her apartment is clean and has a great patio. She sent plenty of pictures and videos throughout my trip so I could keep up with Cleo. I will definitely be using Stephanie again!”
“Poppy had a great time hanging out with Athene and her dog (another Poppy). She was particularly fascinated with her cat. Her space is clean and well secured. I felt very comfortable leaving her there. Appreciated the photos Athene sent me of Poppy’s stay. She played ball with her and it looked like she really enjoyed herself. Would feel confident rebooking with her anytime!”
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. Your dog will have free range of my 3 bedroom home, detached studio, and very large, securely fenced yard. I don't have pets of my own right now, so your pup gets the whole space and my full attention — no other animals to compete with. 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.
“Teresa took great care of our dog, Andre, over the weekend. She was communicative, kind, and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. Andre came home happy and well cared for. We would definitely trust Teresa to watch him again and highly recommend her!”
“Brooke and her partner, Ryan are *exceptional* sitters. They are sensitive, thoughtful, mature, patient and intelligent people who are communicative, clear and trustworthy. I've met some really ill equipped people on Rover.com but Brooke and Ryan are true gems I couldn't recommend more highly. When we got our precious dog back, he was calm and regulated- Brooke and Ryan are a blessing! Thank you, thank you, thank you!”
“Steven was an absolutely wonderful pet sitter. My wife and I always have family house/pet sit when we go out of town, so leaving them with a sitter had us a bit anxious. During the meet and greet, Steven immediately put us at ease with his kindhearted and soft nature which made us confident in his ability to provide excellent care. While we were gone, steven provided updates with pictures every day, and we could see that they were happy, relaxed, and enjoying thier time with him. Steven was also very accommodating as far as drop offs and pick ups. We absolutely plan on entrusting steven with our pups again in the future. Thank you, Steven!”
“Very glad to have found Shahane. Our German Sheppard usually has separation anxiety when left with dog sitter. In this case, I think she has separation anxiety from her stay here. Will certainly bring her back.”
“Miry has been such a wonderful sitter for our dog. We’ve done short daycare and long stays with her and our pup has always been loved and well cared for by her. Would highly recommend to anyone who’s looking for a good option for their dog.”
