We would absolutely book her again. Highly recommend! Thank you Vienna!!”
“Nikki was a great sitter for my cat while I was away! She was very thorough with daily care and letting me know how my cat was doing each day.

“Genevieve was a fantastic cat sitter. Besides being professional and accommodating—she took my booking on extremely short notice when an urgent out-of-town meeting came up—she was remarkably attentive. I received wonderful photos of my cat, Misha, as well as detailed updates on his eating and behavior. She made me feel confident that he was well cared for. I would absolutely book Genevieve again for any pet of mine. She's a superb communicator with a real gift for connecting with animals.”
“This is my fourth time booking with Sorn. She is reliable and takes great care of my cats. It makes such a difference to not have to worry about them while traveling. I will book with Sorn for as long as I live in Glendale. Thank you, Sorn!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed their pets, and drop-ins are where I really shine. I show up, and send updates so you always know your pet is safe and happy. I’m currently working part-time on larger projects, so the flexibility fits perfectly around drop-in visits. I can build your pet’s visits into my day without a rigid 9-to-5 schedule, and I’m happy to adjust timing to match their routine. For drop-ins, I do a full walkthrough of your home routine first so nothing feels unfamiliar to your pet. 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.
“Alicia is very professional and loves cats. She takes her time to play and interact with Miki everytime she visit to drop by to clean the litter box and provide food and clean water. She is easy to get hold to and respond quickly. She sends video of Miki every time she drop by.”
“Traci is amazing. She invested a lot of time and effort into making friends with my cat when they first met, and now she’s one of the cat’s favorite people. Traci very obviously cares about the animals she looks after, and I never have to worry about my pets when I’m away.”
“Jenna is absolutely wonderful and a godsend for me and my pup Margot! She has become my hands-down first choice for drop-in visits and sitting. She is great with my dog, trustworthy, dependable and always sends detailed updates. Could not recommend her more!”
“Fiona was great! Super patient with my timid kitty. She took wonderful care of her and helped her come out of her shell over the duration of the stay. Her place is a calm and welcoming environment, highly recommended booking with her for any and all pets but especially if you have a more anxious baby she presents a great space for them to feel safe”
“Irina is the best! She is so kind and made me feel so much better about leaving my cat Max with a sitter for the first time. I received daily updates and photos, which were so fun to see. The photos of Max with Irina and her kids were so heartwarming. Irina is professional and very responsive. Drop off and pickup was seamless. I am so very thankful for Irina. Max told me that he can’t wait to go back and visit her again!”
“Jessica took incredible care of our fur babies. She followed instructions and the schedule to a T, and our girls were very happy and well taken care of when we came home. Cannot thank her enough for giving us the peace of mind to know they were under her care while we were out of town. Definitely recommend and will. work with her again.”
About: I have one sweet boy named Vincent at home and love making new furry friends! I’ve lived with many cats over the years so I know each one has their own personality - I’ll meet your cat where they’re at!

“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: 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: I grew up around lots of dogs, and I rescued my own pup 10 years ago from a non-profit here in Los Angeles. I've been the go to sitter for friends and colleagues over the years, experienced hosting for long weekends, work trips, etc. Animals often gravitate towards me, but we're more than happy to do a meet and greet if needed. I'm a work from home yogi, dog mama and animal lover, who loves to get her steps in, so pet care is a central part of my daily routine. I make sure to dedicate time each morning and evening for a proper walk, playtime throughout the day, and cuddles. I prioritize my dog's health and well-being by sticking to a consistent schedule for feeding, baths, regular vet visits, and immunizations. It's important to me to create a nurturing environment, and I always ensure that my clients needs are met, even during busy weeks. I live in a private residence and have a fenced in yard, and an adorable pup of my own to keep yours company during their stay. You are welcome to bring a crate if needed, as well as any other reasonable accommodations you'd need (extra walks, socialization, medication, etc).
“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: 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: I've had pets my whole life and got a lot of experience with different personalities through fostering and volunteering with rescues such as BFLA. I also have a lot of experience with pets who need regular medication. I work at home with a flexible schedule. I have the ability to take care of your pet whether it's for a few hours, a day, or more! I have a very friendly dog and cat. I have a gated house with an outdoor area but no grass or dirt. If boarding at mine, the pet will need to be friendly with my own pets.
“Charlie is awesome!! You can tell she really loves animals, and she treated our dog as her own. She sent several updates throughout the day, and communication was always easy with her. Highly recommend!”
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!
“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!”
“Pamela was a great host and dog sitter. Both my senior girls loved her and her dog Los! They have plenty of space to be dogs and she gave my girls walks and treats! I will definitely be booking her again in the future!”
About: I don't have much experience with pet sitting using the Rover app, but I do have experience with pet sitting for friends (dogs and cats). I have an 11-year-old dog and an 8-year-old daughter. The dog is our eldest child) I'm not working right now, I'm studying at college online, so I can be with yours pet all day. I have a lot of free time in the morning while my daughter is at school. Therefore, I can take care of your pets from 8:30 a.m. until 2 p.m. I live in an apartment and have a friendly small dog. There is a dog walking area, as well as a small park next to the apartments.
About: Hi! My name is Ashley, I've been a dog lover since my second birthday when my parents adopted a 2 month old German Shepard. She grew up with me and will alway have a special place in my heart. When I moved out on my own I adopted 2 papillon brothers. They had so much energy and the sweetest personalities. I've always been a fuzzy friend lover and enjoy meeting new doggies and kitties and getting to know their personalities. I pay close attention to any pet in my care and make sure they are always in the safest environment. I make sure they are not around anything they shouldn't be or leave anything around they shouldn't eat. I'm very aware of what may make your pets uncomfortable. I work from home and have four flexibility so if you need me to stop by, walk your dog or hang out with your dog, I can make that work I will work with whatever your dog needs, making sure they feel at home and taken care of while their parents are away. Love a happy pup.
About: Hi! Welcome! I have been a cat mom for 16 yrs, but sadly my beloved cat, Mittens passed away in May 2025. I miss him dearly! And I deeply miss having a fur baby in my life! But since I’m not ready to get a new pet, I would like to give my love, attention and experience into taking care of other people’s pets! I am extremely experienced with taking care of cats and I have taken care of family and friend’s dogs before, and now several times professionally on Rover, that it’s made me fall in love with dogs just as as cats! I absolutely love and enjoy taking care of both dogs and cats! And they both have their own wonderful and amazing charms! 😁 I work from home so I am always at home, so it makes it easy to take care of pets and give them all the attention and potty breaks that they need. I am available for boarding or pet daycare at anytime, so please feel free to contact me whenever you would like. I live in a one bedroom apartment that is 1000-1500 sqft and I don’t have a backyard or personal balcony, but live in a very safe residential neighborhood, so walking dogs outside at anytime of the day is completely safe and fine. My living room is a reasonable size (1000 sqft), which is why I only board small to medium sized dogs; however, I work from home, so I’m always able to take the dogs out to get some much needed air, sun and exercise daily, so they don’t get too cooped up or bored indoors. I also always make it a priority to turn the AC and fans on at my place, so they can stay cool and comfortable at all times. Furthermore, I have used the Rover App before to have my own late cat boarded with a pet sitter on here, so I fully understand the comfort and the need for owners to have pet sitters send photos, videos and daily updates of their pets to them, therefore, I always make that a priority and I am more than happy to do that! I firmly believe and take it very seriously that a pet sitter should always respond immediately and be absolutely communicative at all times!
“Irina met me right on time for dropoff and pickup, was extremely friendly, and kept me updated with plenty of photos throughout the day. I felt completely at ease knowing my dogs were in excellent hands with her. I would totally leave my dogs with her again!”
About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and care I have for dogs. As a dog mom myself, I understand how important it is to feel comfortable and confident leaving your pup in someone else’s care. I’m patient, attentive, and treat every dog as an individual, taking the time to learn their personality, routine, and needs. I want every pup in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re away from home. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you never feel out of the loop, and I’ll make sure your dog gets plenty of attention, companionship, and care throughout their stay. I have a flexible schedule and enjoy spending my days with dogs. I’m able to give pets plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and companionship throughout the day rather than leaving them alone for long periods. I’m also comfortable following each pet’s individual feeding, walking, and care routine so they can feel comfortable and settled while they’re with me. I want every pet in my home to feel safe, comfortable, and at home. I follow their normal routines as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and any special instructions you provide. I give them plenty of attention while also respecting their space when they need some quiet time. I treat every dog with patience, kindness, and the same care I would want for my own.
“Khalani was awesome! Super quick to respond over text and sent photos throughout the day. Banksy seemed like he had a great time playing with her dog Buttercup. Would absolutely use her again in the future for daycare!”
“Vienna is super responsive and took great care of Neptune. He was so relaxed when we picked him up and seemed like he enjoyed his time at daycare! We’ll definitely book Vienna 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!”

“Javier rules. He’s walked my dog a ton and always does a great job. Good communication and very reliable (especially with my sporadic walking requests). Sends great pics and walk cards too!”
“Sean is great with our pup!! Always on time and responsive and has made her feel comfortable walking with someone else (even with her separation anxiety). Great job!!”
“I was in a situation where I had to get a dog walker in less than 24 hours. I have a bull terrier that is reactive. He’s been in privates and group classes, but a stranger coming in the home will definitely freak him out. I was very nervous but I had no choice. Yana was amazing with him. I had him behind the baby gate and went off as soon as she walked him. She was able to calm him down and was success in taking him out. She sent me lovely pictures of him and he looked so happy. Thank you Yana for helping me out, especially during this stressful situation.”
“Ryan is wonderful! Before and during his visits, he was great about communication. He offered to have a meet-n-greet, before we booked, and he truly understands the needs of senior pets. We will definitely be working with Ryan for both of our pets, as long as he's in the biz!”
“Dan helped us out with a last minute request for recurring dog walks once a week and we’re so happy we booked with him! Dan was really attentive to our dog Guppy and patiently worked with him upon meeting so that he felt super comfortable on the walk! He is very easy to communicate with and went above and beyond with giving Guppy extra time to walk/do his business and play in the park - his help was a huge relief to us! Cannot recommend Dan enough for pet care, we will continue to use his services weekly!”
“Highly recommended! Rachel took care of our dog while. We were on vacation, and she did such an incredible job. She was reliable, timely, and flexible. We got pictures and videos every day, which we really appreciated.”

“Nancy was so lovely and took such great care walking Gracie! Great communication and refilled her water bowls before she left — she takes care of the little things :)”
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.
About: I successfully fostered a husky-German mix from a rescue organization and helped her find her forever home! I spent the summer volunteering at the rescue, walking rescue dogs and helping raise awareness for them. I have always loved animals. I’m working part-time / self-employed so my schedule is really flexible ! I love taking walks and so walking dogs would fit naturally in my schedule. I will be very accommodating in the clients home; my reviews on Airbnb are good and others have trusted me in their home to leave it in good condition.
“Super friendly and responsive! Our dog Freddie really loved Zixuan. Freddie has door and “people leaving” anxiety, and Zixuan was really attentive to our special instructions for leaving the house after the walk. Will definitely be booking with her again 😊”
“Jessica was great! She has great communication and responded quickly. Chopper looked very happy on his walk. I will definitely book for future walks! Thank you.”

About: I started a dog-walking company with my friend when I was 12. Since then, I've taken care of dogs, cats, turtles, and horses! In the past year, I've been the go-to sitter in my apartment building. When you book with me, I will likely be home most of the day! My work has a wonky schedule, so I'm usually flexible. I live in an apartment, but I have access to a park across the street and I'm in walking distance to Griffith Park for high energy dogs that need hikes and play!
About: Hi, I'm Emma! Being surrounded by dogs of my own for most of my life, I learned to care for animals at a young age. I am open to being around all animals and have been a devoted cat owner for over a year now. Kittie is very loving and minds her own business when it comes to other animals around. I can relate to the experience of having to leave your pet for someone else to watch. Don't worry, you will get constant updates and photos! My apartment complex has a private dog park for residents and is less than five minutes from beautiful Echo Park, perfect for walks, exercise, and boarding! As a person, I am honest, reliable, and loving. I understand the importance of detail and will follow any routine that you usually follow. I am currently enrolled in college, so my availability would work around a fairly flexible schedule. It would fill my heart to take care of your pup when you aren't available and give them all of the love they need!

“Therese and her family were very accommodating to our needs and treated Sunny as a member of the family. He had fun with her dogs as we could see in the pictures she was sending almost daily. I highly recommend them !!!”
“Alexa was so great with Draco! She watched him for a couple nights and kept us updated with the cutest photos from their walks. She's super friendly and quick to respond, which I really appreciated. This was our first time booking a sitter, so we were a little nervous tbh, but Draco came home happy, healthy, and relaxed. :) Already planning our next booking with her as I’m typing this!”
“Shimin is the best! She is super attentive and responsible, bubbles told me she fell in love with Shimin! ❤️ We will definitely leave with bubbles again in the future.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Margaret is the absolute best! She takes such great care of our pup when we are away, I know he’s in good hands and having a blast with Margaret she’s like family.”
“Donghae was very attentive and loving to our little mango! He sent an end of day summary of everything she did including her pee/poo schedule! We were so happy with the care she received and the pictures we received were adorable! She looked relaxed and happy~ We will definitely be booking with him again! Thank you!”
“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!”
“Our dog, Sammy, loves to stay with Cynthia! As we approach her house, he gets so excited! It makes me feel so good about leaving him. Cynthia gives him so much love and care! We are so grateful for her.”
“Wonderful dog loving family that took excellent care of my 2 dogs (Shiba and Cavalier King Charles) while I was away for 2 weeks. The dogs felt right at home, received lots of affection, and I received pics throughout their stay. Will definitely leave my dogs in their care again!”
“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!”
About: I genuinely enjoy being around animals and believe every pet deserves patience, attention, and affection. I’m responsible, attentive to their routines, and always take the time to understand their personality and needs. Whether your pet is playful, energetic, shy, or simply loves relaxing beside someone, I treat them with care and respect. My priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and never alone. I work from home as a musician and producer, so I’m home most of the day and have a very flexible schedule. This allows me to give pets plenty of attention, companionship, and supervision throughout the day instead of leaving them alone for long periods of time. I can easily work around their feeding, walking, playtime, and rest routines. I love having animals around while I work, and I’m happy to provide a calm, comfortable, and loving environment where they can feel at home. Because I work from home, your pet will have someone around for most of the day. I provide a calm and comfortable home environment where pets can relax, play, and receive attention throughout the day. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully and respect their pet’s individual routine, personality, and boundaries. Safety always comes first, and I keep a close eye on pets while they are in my care. I also understand how important it is for pet parents to feel comfortable leaving their furry family member with someone they trust.
“Sydney was absolutely wonderful with Arlo! She took the time to do a meet and greet beforehand, which immediately put me at ease. Throughout the stay, she was super communicative and regularly sent photos so I always knew how he was doing. It was clear she genuinely spent quality time with him — including taking him out on runs, which he loved. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will 100% be booking with Sydney again!”
“Josie is amazing! Kind, thoughtful and an animal lover. Phil had the best week in her home and he keeps dragging me to her house. Very grateful and can’t recommend Josie more highly! Look forward to next time already.”
“I loved all of the photos and updates Yvonne sent throughout my dog’s stay with her. It is apparent she loves the dogs she cares for as her own! He was so happy with her and all of her pups.”
“I’m always skeptical to leave my fur baby with new people, but Kevin put me at ease. He was accommodating & caring. When I picked up my dog he let me know about some medical concerns he had about her & that he had to clean up after her. Super understanding and sweet about the whole thing. I would recommend booking Kevin to care for your pet 🙂”
