“Thank you Adrienne for taking care of Ollie for three days. Ollie came back happy and she seemed to have had a great time! We look forward to Ollie staying with Adrienne in the future.”
“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!”
“Joe was amazing! From sending me daily pictures and updates about my dog, to immediate responses to any of my questions and/or concerns. Joe's house is setup as a perfect vacation spot for any dog. There's plenty of outdoor and indoor space, along with a number of resident dogs to run and play with. Since my dog has only lived solo thus far, he truly enjoyed being part of a dog pack while staying with Joe. I'll be using Joe for any and all of my upcoming doggie sitting needs. Thanks Joe for taking such good care of my kid! ”
“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!”
“Magdalena was a wonderful dog sitter for our pup Franklin. She was very attentive, sent lots of photos and updates and you can tell she has a big heart for animals. I will definitely be booking her again!”
“Loved Therese! She has a great space and sent plenty of photos of my pup playing with lots of other dogs, so it's clear many pet parents feel safe with their dogs in her hands. It's clear he had a great time. I'd absolutely book Therese again!”
“Amanda was great! We got frequent updates and pictures to let us know our pup was doing great. She sounds like she has a lot of experience taking care of dogs. Very easy to communicate with through Rover. We will definitely use her again :)”
“Lynsey was wonderful with Kasper! She cared for him like he was her own, showering him with love and attention. I really appreciated the adorable photo updates that kept me in the loop on how he was doing. Highly recommend Lynsey if you’re looking for a sitter who makes your pup feel right at home—it’s truly a stay-cation experience!”
“So helpful amazing keeping me updated throughout the day we met before and I felt really good about leaving my dog with David. He’s been great about my schedule changes and really being flexible to my needs.”
“Paul was absolutely amazing from drop off to pickup. He was kind, professional, and very caring for my pup. He sent pictures throughout my pup's stay and took fantastic care of him. I would absolutely request his services as a dog sitter again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone to care for their pups.”
“Crystal did a GREAT job watching Ochi while we were out of town for the weekend. She sent plenty of pictures and let us know how he was doing. We are excited to have her watch Ochi again sometime. Thank you, Crystal!”

“Sojeong and her parents took great care of the dogs, provided regular updates, and were friendly and communicative before and during the whole process. We can't recommend them higher and hope to use them during all our future trips!”
“Wonderful experience boarding my older dog! He had some behavioral issues which she dealt with superbly. I had peace of mind the whole time I had to be away from my doggo. Would highly recommend!”
“Simba has stayed with Meena and her family for several week long trips and I keep coming back because I know he will receive just as much love and care as I give him! Which is saying a lot because he is a very affectionate and high energy young pup! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Meena enough!”
“Noemi took such good care of Oden! I was away for almost 3 weeks which was the longest I've ever been away from my baby. She calmed any nerves I had and sent me photos almost everyday. I chose Noemi because I knew Oden would love to be with a toddler and other dog buddies and knew he would get tons of snuggles and love because not only is Noemi a stay at home mom, but there are other dog loving and doting family members there! Oden loved watching Bluey with Noemi's daughter and playing with Bonnie. I wouldn't hesitate to book Noemi again and give her dog services an A+++++”
“10/10 fantastic! Our dog Ringo had a wonderful time staying with Javier! We felt totally at ease and happy knowing that he was being taken such good care of. Ringo came home tired and happy and that’s all we can ask for! We were gone for a week but got a ton of photos so we felt like we were there as well.”

“We were new to the neighborhood and were worried about finding a sitter for two shy cats who had been through a chaotic move. Alina was thoughtful and well attuned to their needs. 5 stars!”
“Charmaine is so wonderful with my kitty! Her updates always show how much fun he's having, and how comfortable he is with her...plus, there's always a little treat or toy left behind for him when I get home!”
“Repeat customer here. This was the longest time we’ve spent away from our cat in some time. Though just three days, Narin continued to provide the same punctuality, kindness, and attentiveness we experienced with our other past one day check ins. In addition, the communication and photos are informative and show Narin’s caring attitude.”
“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!!”
“Ru is so kind and loving with our cats, they immediately accepted her into their tribe 😻. Her communication is great, and she was very accommodative when my schedule changed at the last minute. Ru is our “go to” cat sitter. Thanks!!!”
“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”
“Alex did a great job taking care of our cats, Shanghai and Frankie! We loved receiving daily pictures and report outs letting us know our beloved felines were happy and well fed in our absence! We will definitely ask Alex to take care of our kitties next time we leave town. Thanks, Alex!”
“We had Lindsay take care of our cat, Tigger, for 12 days while we were away, and she did an outstanding job! She ensured Tigger was well-fed and kept her entertained. Whenever we had a question, she responded promptly, giving us peace of mind. When our flight got canceled, Lindsay even went the extra mile to check on Tigger for an additional day. We highly recommend her for anyone needing a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
“Ali rules!! She took the time to meet w me prior to my trip twice! When the plan changed, she was flexible. Ali took great care of my cat while I was away. Thanks for the fun pictures everyday and keeping him company. I highly recommend her and will have her again if she’s available for my next trip. Thank you Ali!”
“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.”
“Sydney was great. I loved the pictures she sent and the summaries. This was the first time I left my cat for more than a day and I was very nervous but Sydney took some of that nervousness away. Will definitely use her again.”
“Emily was incredible! She is great at communicating and sent great photos. She went above and beyond by cleaning up the leftover dry food scattered around the bowl by my messy cat. She had read through all of my instructions before we even had met, which I really appreciated. Will definitely book Emily and recommend her to anyone and everyone!”
“So appreciative of these two for taking care of our diabetic kitty and administering his insulin shots while we were away for our wedding weekend. I felt at ease having them come help with our babies.”
“Max adored Alexis and I loved how she kept me informed while I was away (and the great pictures she took). She took excellent care of Max, was very flexible and responsive, and just fantastic to work with! Highly recommend!”
“Ayman is super reliable and easy to communicate with. She kept me updated the whole time, which gave me peace of mind. Came back to a happy cat, would definitely book again.”
“Alexandra is such a great sitter! So easy to communicate with and super responsive. I can tell my cat loves her in the Report Cards she sends! Would recommend for sure!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - San Rafael Hills
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.
“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.”
“Daisy is wonderful! Shes excited to see Star and gives her plenty of potty breaks. She’s understanding that Star is a senior dog who loves her naps and chill time. She’s also very responsive.”
“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!”
“Jennifer took amazing care of our puppy! They sent us updates and pictures throughout the day and it was clear how comfortable they made her feel :) will definitely be requesting help 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.
“Joyce and her roommate do a great job at making you feel comfortable leaving your dog in their care. They provide regular photo and video updates of Jax looking happy and content. Jax is always happy to see them on dropoff.”
“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!”
“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!”
“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.”
“Em & Taylor are the best- my dog always has such a great day with them on nice walks, taking cuddle naps and playin with toys. Amazing communication and such incredibly kind people!”
About: I've been caring for pets for over 20 years, and it's something I truly love. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets with the same attention and compassion I'd give my own. I offer personalized care, a limited number of clients, consistent updates with photos and videos, a clean safe environment, reliability, punctuality, flexible scheduling, medication administration, and have extensive experience caring for senior pets and those who are anxious or have special needs. My goal is to help every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I adore animals of all kinds and would be honored to care for your furry family member! I work from home with a flexible schedule, which makes it easy to care for your pets when you need me. I am always on time and communicate often. I will follow your instructions on how to care for your baby in your home. I can even send photos and keep you updated throughout the day. (I should mention that I am also a professional pet photographer!)

“Simba is a really energetic dog. Thanks to Felicia, he passed out everytime when he got on my car till the night end. I knew he had an awesome day cos he never looked back everytime i brought him to Felicia's.”
“Gina is amazing at what she does! My dog Patli truly blossomed and opened up with Gina and the rest of the pups in the best way! Great communicator and always making sure your pups are seen and taken care of in their needs!”

“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!”
“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.
“Brandi is super communicative and always let us know when she was about to go check on our pets and sent photos and updates. She took great care of them and I definitely recommend her!!! Thank you so much again!!!”

“Lee has been fabulous with Willie! I was nervous to leave Willie home for the first time while I went to work as I am gone for a very long day. Lee sent me an update on how the walk went and when I come home Willie is calm and happy and there are no accidents in the house. Lee has been very professional and takes good care of Willie on his walks and we look forward to having him numerous days a week on a regular basis. Thank you Lee! :)”
“Lilit was flexible adapting walks/playtime based on Ferdi's sensitivity to the heat wave. This was very much appreciated 👏 and really shows how attentive Lilit is to my puppy's needs. Thank you!!”

She took great care of our dog, and he was clearly happy in the daily update pics. On top of being available and reliable, Yuhong was also incredibly sensitive and caring towards our family's situation. I highly recommend her as both an awesome Rover and awesome human.”

“Riggy was so excited to see Margaret again — her tail started wagging the moment we pulled up! She made new doggie friends, went on tons of walks, and came home happy, tired, and (of course) with another adorable toy she refuses to let out of her sight. Margaret is truly the most thoughtful sitter — she treats Riggy like family, keeps me updated with the cutest photos, and always goes above and beyond. It’s such a relief knowing Riggy is in such loving hands. Can’t recommend Margaret enough! 💕🐾”
“Leah took great care of our senior dog. She returned very happy and content. Leah gave great updates with photos and videos which was really nice. Thank you to Leah and family!”
“Porcelain always takes great care of Sheldon and consistently sends multiple photos/video throughout the day which is very nice to have a visual update on my dog! Sheldon is a big fan of Porcelain!”
“Our original sitter was impacted by the Eaton Canyon fire, which resulted in us scrambling to find another sitter. Our dog Mabel spends a lot of time with me since I work from home, so I was a little anxious about how she would do overnight with someone she didn’t know. At her previous sitters, she barked for the first two hours during a daycare trial. At Cynthia’s, she made fast friends with Yoshi and Mamba and made herself right at home. Cynthia sent photos and updates about Mabel’s play, sleep, and eating. Mabel received snuggles and so much attention from the whole family. She came back happy and without any transitional behavioral issues she had with her first sitter. Even though I work from home, I think sending Mabel in for daycare every now and then would be a great way for her to be social and play. She had so much fun and I know she’d love to come back. Cynthia lives up to the hype.”
