“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!”
“Albina took great care of my boy. She made sure he went on multiple walks a day and sent me updates. He came home very happy. Will definitely take Kobe to her again😊”
“Sojeong and her family took excellent care of my 13-year-old cat, Smokey. It was his first time being boarded, and I can honestly say he returned home happy and content. From the beautiful videos and pictures that Sojeong sent me daily, I could tell he was lovingly cared for and received the perpetual attention he craves.”
“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.”
“Bertha was wonderful! I am hesitant to leave my dog with new people but Eugene settled in so easily with Bertha P. She was incredibly thoughtful about pictures and updates, and that made my time away so much more relaxing!”
“Couldn’t say enough positive things. Perfect sitter for my big boy who is dog aggressive/easily triggered. I had never left him alone before and honestly felt stuck. But the time came and I didn’t have a choice. He has dog sat Rex twice now. I'm grateful to have found a sitter like Greg who gave me peace of mind knowing my big boy was in good hands. Rex was excited to see him which let me know he was being good to my boy. Thanks Greg!”
“Irina was an amazing Dogsitter for Getty! She sent lots of cute photos and updates and kept our boy so happy. She was accessible and great at communicating. I will definitely be booking again!”
“Marcelo and Elaine always take good care of our pup! He loves to play ball, and they’re happy to engage with him. They keep us updated on his status and respond to messages quickly. We highly recommend them!”
“Thank you again for taking such good care of Sailor while we were away. It gives us comfort knowing he's in a safe and lovely place that we call Sailor's home away from home, and with a family who doesn't mind his quirks (gassy - haha, stubborn). We're so grateful.”
“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! 🐶✨💕”
“Nini was really sweet and caring with our doggo Bear. He likes lots of attention and play time and she was really good playing fetch with him and taking him on plenty of walks. We would definitely have Nini watch Bear for us again.”
“Michelle and Elizabeth were so great and patient with Kobe. They gave updates throughout the weekend and had good feedback about his care. Definitely would take Kobe back again :)”
“I have nothing but AMAZING things to say about Sevan! He is truly a gem and I could not have asked for a better caretaker. Sevan has a longstanding background in dog training & is a professional in all things dog behavior. Not only did he take incredible care of my Buddha while I traveled, he helped me understand better ways to approach dog socialization. Please do yourself a favor and work with Sevan, he is a game changer!”
“Barbara was wonderful with my dog, Mila. Mila wakes up very early and needs extra attention, and Barbara was patient, caring, and attentive to her needs. I felt comfortable knowing Mila was in good hands. I highly recommend Barbara to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate dog sitter.”
“This was my first time with Olga, and I'm very happy to have found her. Aria's had some stomach issues, and Olga took a good care of her feeding her cooked rice a couple of times. There's always someone in the house, so she has never been left alone, and the backyard is nice and spacious enough to hang out there during a day. I couldn't recommend Olga more!”
“We live several hours away and needed someone to watch our pup while we went on a cruise. I searched for someone and found Yulia! She had experience with dogs, she has no dogs, she takes one client at a time plus dogs are allowed on the bed. PERFECT 👌 Yulia knew how hard it was for me to leave Taco. His first time. She sent photos right away! She let me know how he was feeling and how he did throughout the day and night. We had awesome communication during his stay plus photos and videos. They truly helped me. He went on long walks and received a lot of loving from both Julia and her husband. Mr. Taco also learned a new trick!! She taught him to lay down! I'm truly thankful and grateful to have found Yulia. I hope she's available when I need her next! I may change my schedule to fit hers! Warm hugs. ❤️”
“Amorn and Adam are great with our dog Leo. Leo seems to be right at home with them, and we really appreciate all the adorable photos they send! We are very grateful to have found people we can our trust with our dog and look forward to his next visit!”

“Barbara is the best sitter! She takes care of my cat Lancelot every time we travel. She gives him a lot of love and affection, and will go far and beyond to take care of unexpected things that happen when you travel (like plumbing issues). Thank you, Barbara!”
“Jacky took great care of our cat while we were away on vacation. Her detailed visit cards and photos helped us relax knowing our cat was in good hands while out of town. We definitely would recommend Jacky and plan to book with her again when we travel next.”
“Jacquie was wonderful!! Very communicative, and such a big help. My cat immediately was comfortable with her and it seemed like they had a good time together! Will be rebooking and highly recommend her with any furry friend.”
About: I’ve had a love for animals for as long as I can remember. As a little kid, I would spend hours at my aunt’s house playing with her dogs — my mom would even have to come call me so I’d finally go home! Growing up, I had many different types of pets, but the one thing I always dreamed of having was a dog of my own. I begged my parents for years, and when I finally got my first dog at 13 years old, he instantly became my whole world. From a very young age, I was always the person friends and family trusted with their pets. I watched a friend’s cat while they were away and even cared for my school’s bunny for an entire day! Later on, when I moved to Sydney, Australia, I volunteered at an animal rescue center and spent the next 10 years pet sitting for both dogs and cats — something I truly loved and felt very passionate about. I have experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, from energetic puppies and kittens to sweet senior dogs who need extra patience and attention. I recently lost my own beloved senior dog, so I deeply understand the gentle, specialized care, and massive amount of love older pets need in their golden years. Because of this, I’m incredibly comfortable monitoring their comfort, administering medication, and making sure they feel entirely safe and relaxed while you are away. Caring for animals has always come naturally to me, and I treat every pet with the same love, patience, and attention I would give my own. <3 Since I’m currently home full-time, I have a super flexible schedule with plenty of open availability Monday through Sunday, so I can easily fit into your pet's regular daily routine without a problem. Whether you need a consistent daily walker while you're at work, or last-minute drop-in visits because something popped up, I’m around and ready to step in whenever you need an extra hand." In Your Home: When I come by for drop-ins or to pick up your dog, I treat your home with total respect. I always make sure doors are securely locked, keys are safely stored, and your home is exactly how you left it. Plus, I love giving cats and dogs lots of love, refreshing their water, and making sure they are comfy before I leave. Out on Walks: Safety is everything when we are out on an adventure. I always keep dogs securely on-leash, stay highly aware of our surroundings, and steer clear of any unpredictable situations or unfamiliar dogs. Keeping You Posted: I know how hard it is to be away, so I always send a quick update and some cute photos during or right after my visit. You'll never have to wonder how they are doing!
About: I very much enjoy caring for cats. I think I’m good about reading their attitudes and mannerisms. I’ve tried to stay up on general info about their behaviors, what they could like and what they couldn’t.
About: I am 100% a cat lover and will do anything for any of my sweet cats, including the ones I look after. Every cat that I have looked after in the past I have quickly created a special bond with and have enjoyed being around.
“Victoria was a great sitter for our 3 cats! She is a clear communicator and responsive. With each visit, she made an effort to earn the trust of the cats and built up a great report with them. She’s awesome!”
About: I've looked after cats since I was young and have a skill for getting shy cats to open up and come out for some food or playtime. I feel confident in my ability to provide your cats or kittens with the care and affection they need and I would be happy to do so! (:
“Brittany was so amazing! She took care of our two cats for 10 days while my roommate and I were out of town. We got daily updates and lots of photos that made us feel so much better leaving the kitties alone.”
“Soejong was so sweet with Jamie. He is very nervous and thus was his first boarding experience. We had to have repairs done in the apartment and so I had to board him. She sent me lots of photos and he was being very brave exploring at night which I thought was a good sign that he liked her (otherwise he would have stayed hidden). If I have to board him again, I would definitely use Sojeong.”
“Raleigh was incredibly kind, reliable and communicative. I am very happy my kitties were able to get quality care while I was on vacation, it gave me such great peace of mind”
“Per usual, Bella went above and beyond looking after my cat. I never once worried about him while I was on vacation. I received regular photos and detailed updates. Thank you Bella for such wonderful care!!”
“Hannah is such a reliable and kind animal-lover, I feel 100% confidence leaving my four cats in her care, even if three of them are kittens and it's a bit of a rambunctious household at the moment. She was super communicative and quick to respond. She also left the house possibly cleaner than I had left it, so that was supremely appreciated after returning home from a busines trip. I recommend her wholeheartedly and hope to be able to book her again for future trips!”
“Wow. I cannot say enough about how wonderful the experience was having Alex look after my 2 kittens. It’s always stressful to be away from pets, but all of the positive reviews I read about Alex turned out to be true. He gave detailed reports of his interactions with my little guys and sent lots of photos. This gave me so much reassurance that all was well. I recommend Alex 100% if you want the very best care for your fur babies.”
About: Over the years I have taken care of my family, friends and of course my own animals. I have had experience with a majority of dog breeds. I have taken care & bottle fed puppies and kittens and given medication to dogs. When I am caring for your fur family, I will follow your schedule and any commands you may be trying to teach. I am kind, patient, caring and will keep your pup safe and happy. I love walking, playing, and will show your pup lots of love. My senior dog can’t play much any more so I would love to have some awesome dogs I can walk, play with, and keep company awhile you are away. I work two jobs, so your pup may be alone between four to six hours but I ALWAYS keep families updated with my schedule and of course lots of pictures. I currently do not provide care in my home. So I always follow your house rules. I make sure not only is your animals safe and cared for but also your home.
“Great experience for us and for our kitty, Maddie. Ginneh was quick to reapond to our (very last minute) request and had a great energy that allowed Maddie to get comfortable with her quickly. Ginneh gave Maddie excellent care and lots of love in our absence, which made it easier to enjoy our trip without worrying that Maddie wasn't getting enough attention. Definitely will book again!”

“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.”
About: I live in an 800sq ft 1 bedroom apartment. I usually keep cats in the bedroom and dogs in the living room or whatever works. If you are not ok with that, please confirm with me if I am boarding any other pets. Not spayed pets are ok and I make sure there is nothing to worry about. I absolutely love pets and even after they come back to their actual home, I still look for them around my apartment. They also get used to me very quickly because I give them a lot of attention and play time. Once a friend asked me to take care of their pet, and that’s when it all started. So I have been taking care of pets professionally for the past 2 years and it has been a real pleasure for me. In my life, I have had 10 cats and 2 dogs (German Shepherd) so I know how to act in any situation, even emergency. I have experience with pets that have separation anxiety. I am strong and can handle even the wildest creatures and treat them gently even if they misbehave. I do not raise my voice and I do not have any strict rules. I won't keep your pet like in a "prison cell". Playing with pets is one of my most favorite things to do. I also love running and if requested, I can take your pup for some physical activity in a park. I always stop and look around before I cross the street and never cross on red light. I love taking photos of pets and if you would like, I can send you photos of them daily. I do not have experience in grooming but I will be happy to give your pet a bath so it's clean and fresh when you pick it up. The most important to me is to create a safe and loving environment for your best friend so you can have peace of mind while you are away. I come from Poland and I am a Polish/American citizen. I am currently a nursing student at LA City College. Most of my classes are online so I spend 70% of my time at home. I have a surveillance camera in my apartment to check on pets and talk to them while I am gone. I do have toys, balls, food bowls, dog and cat beds, and cat scratchers. I can also provide my own litter box (your own litter is preferred). I am a trustworthy and responsible person. Your pet is the most important when it is in my hands. I live in a peaceful neighborhood with a lot of greenery to take dogs on walks. I have no strict rules around my house. I don't mind having your pet on my furniture or have it sleep with me (unless you're not ok with that). I never ever lock pets in the bathroom or cage, or even in the darkness alone. I always leave a small light on. Also, if it is hot/cold outside, I make sure to keep comfortable temperature inside. Kitties love my portable heaters! Also, I have a Sony camera which I use to take pretty pictures of the little ones (if interested, let me know).
“Really loved all the updates and photos throughout the day. Really gave me peace of mind. My puppy seemed so happy over there, we’re lucky to have them so close by”
“Charlie has been staying with Sevan on a consistent basis for daycare for over a month and I can already see the improvements in his behavior. Sevan has been working with him to correct some behavioral issues. I can tell how passionate Sevan is about what he does and Charlie much prefers Sevan’s care to a daycare facility. So it’s a win-win!”
About: From working at the animal shelter, to returning a lost dog home, I love helping creatures big and small. I’ve always had the drive to make the lives, of people and animals alike, better through offering my time, knowledge, experience and a helping hand. In the summer of 2024 I had the opportunity to work alongside trained professionals at the animal shelter and witness the consideration and care that goes into animal care-taking. I was able to also work with smaller kittens, bunnies, alongside dogs from an assortment of sizes and breeds. From 2018-2023 my grandmother lived with my family; we were the caregivers. Especially during covid, I stepped up to help with more responsibilities concerning my grandmother. I learned so much patience and also so much about what a blessing it is to have the ability to care for others. I so deeply appreciate the opportunities I have to share a little bit of life with creatures of every kind:) I currently have no job, however I am applying for part-time positions. Along with that I do pursue performing arts so I set aside time for that accordingly. Having 4 dogs and a cat at home only supports my motivation to care for more animals. I have a lot of availability through the summer and possibly the fall. Weekly it varies but I will communicate any and all time changes. I have 4 dogs that are all friendly, and I’d keep them separate from any of your fur-babies just to ensure a smooth time. Our cat has yet to interact with another cat, but she seldom approaches the dogs. We are well equipped with dry food and doggie supplies. If any dietary restrictions are necessary I will adhere. When in the house of a client, I always ask lots of questions and make a shared notes tab. I will also make a group chat if desired by the client. I tend to tidy up the environment given, and if there are desires to keep things completely unchanged I have no problem with that.
About: I am a long life lover of animals and especially dogs. I had a dog of my own for 15 years and I'm familiar with all stages from a young puppy to elderly care. My home and heart are open and ready to care for some lovable furry friends! I am currently just working from home so I am available for care during the day/night. My schedule is flexible to meet any needs your lovable pet may need. I like to be active so I love walking as well as comforting and cuddling with furry friends on the couch. I love interacting with the dogs so I'm very attentive to what there needs may be and would love to get to know your dog's personality.
About: My husband and I both grew up with dogs and are huge dog lovers. We share our home with our sweet 20 lb Chihuahua, Bambi. She’s very friendly and great at matching other dogs’ energy - if your dog loves to play, she’ll happily play along, and if your dog prefers more space, she respects that too. She reads the room very well. I run my own design studio, so I’m home most of the time and can give dogs lots of attention throughout the day. We also have a cozy, clean, fully fenced backyard with a tree where dogs can safely potty, play, and enjoy sunbathing. I love working outside in the backyard and spending time outdoors with the dogs. We’d love to connect with more Burbank neighbors and take great care of your pup while you’re away. I run my own design studio from home, so I’m around most of the day and can give dogs lots of attention, potty breaks, playtime, and supervision throughout the day and evenings. We have a clean, fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely potty, play, and relax. For boarding stays, please make sure your dog is friendly with other dogs, as we have one dog of our own at home. Thank you!
“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: 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. I am a successful business owner and I work out of my home, in close proximity to downtown Glendale, CA. Please Note: We can only accept one dog per visit. 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. Each day, we'll 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.
“Jonalyn was fantastic with my dog! She sent so many photos and kept Mocha busy and got her tired, which is hard to do. Mocha is usually nervously reluctant to separate from me, but every time we went to Jonalyn's, she got so excited. Definitely booking again!”
About: From hamsters and lizards, to cats and dogs, I have been a devoted pet parent (and aunt) my whole life. I absolutely adore my Shiba Inu and treat her like the princess she is.

I can be available with short notice mornings, afternoons, and sometimes evenings. Just let me know and we can work something out (: I live in a home with a fully fenced yard. My dog loves to play out back and on the front lawn. There's plenty of room indoors as well.

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: Expect a happy pet on your return. :) I have plenty of energy to play with your dog or cat. Get your pup the fresh air and exercise it deserves! Get your cat the attention they deserve. I have been pet-sitting for the past 6 years, mostly taking care of a shitzu and a pug, and recently, I have been gradually training a corgi to stop leash pulling. It has been very rewarding watching his behavior improve in and out of the house. I'm available weekdays, weekends, holidays, and odd hours and can spend all day with your pet or take it for frequent bathroom breaks if need be. I freelance and work part time so I have lots of availability for providing pet care to your dog or cat when given at least a few days notice. I will make sure your indoor only pets stay that way by being careful with entrances, and always leash or harness dogs before going for out for bathroom walks outside.

“Michelle and Elizabeth are the best! They have been so great with my pup Simba. Super reliable, communicative, prompt, friendly. Highly recommend. Thank you both so much and happy holidays!”
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. 🐾🐶🐱
About: German shepherds have been living with my family for decades. Loyal dogs to whom I'm grateful. Meeting new friends is fun, and opportunities to walk together are welcome. I'm currently in study mode. Got a certificate after months of work. To get out and meet new pets and people sounds good. I'm taking online classess, and spending some time to look for work in my field. Which are low-voltage & networking. So going for walks is a welcome activity. I used to live in a country-side house. The dogs would mostly take care of themselves. Except for the feeding, grooming, cleaning parts. I like meeting new friends, and I would inquire about the pets' preferences; the owners' too.

About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, from newborn puppies to high-energy adult breeds. I helped care for my cousin’s six dogs from the time they were born, giving me early experience with puppy routines, patience, and consistency during important developmental stages. I recently adopted a husky mix and actively follow a structured training plan that includes potty training, consistent daily walks, and learning extra commands. This has helped me develop strong skills in managing high-energy dogs, maintaining routines, and providing both physical and mental stimulation. I’m attentive to proper feeding, food preparation, and allergy awareness, and I always follow each dog’s specific needs. I genuinely love dogs and enjoy their energy—whether that means playtime, training reinforcement, or calm companionship. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I currently work part time, which gives me plenty of availability for pet sitting, drop-ins, and walks. I’m flexible with scheduling, and if you need a specific day or time, I’m happy to work with you to accommodate your needs. I prioritize consistency, reliability, and making sure each pet gets the time and attention they deserve. I care for pets based on their individual routines and comfort levels. In my home, pets receive structured feeding schedules, regular potty breaks, consistent walks, and dedicated playtime. If your dog is friendly, I do have a dog of my own who would love a new friend, but I always introduce pets slowly and safely. In a client’s home, I follow your pet’s established routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. My goal is to keep pets comfortable, happy, and stress-free by maintaining familiarity and providing attentive, loving care.
About: I absolutely love dogs. I've grown up with dogs all my life, sometimes with 5 in the house at a time. Along with taking care of my own dogs, I began dog sitting and dog walking for family members and family friends when I was 15. I love making dogs happy, getting them out of the house on walks, playing tug of war with them, or just cuddling on the couch. I am a full time college student taking mainly online classes so I have a good amount of availability. I am available Monday-Friday mainly all day, for the weekends I have limited availability but I can always be flexible. I think being respectful of what your boundaries are is most important. Every owner and pup is different and I can adapt well to the different needs for each one. I believe that being gentle and patient is a necessity when it comes to pet care. When walking or caring for your pet I will hold the upmost care for them.
About: My name is Jessica and I live a very active life taking care my three beautiful kiddos. I work from home so availability is open! Previously, I have owned large dogs including two german shepards, two st. bernards, and a chow/labrador mix, but I love dogs of every size! When I was younger, I walked to my moms animal hospital after school. It was my job to clean the kennels and feed the animals. So I spent many afternoons caring for dogs who were boarding at the hospital. We don't have any dogs of our own just yet so hopefully we can love on yours in the meantime! ! I hope we can meet the needs of your fur baby soon! Thank you so much!
About: I’ve been around animals since I was 5, so I’m comfortable with animals of almost every shape and size. I’ve done volunteer work helping stray dogs find safety, and currently volunteer at a local animal shelter where I clean up after and interact with animals of almost variety of temperaments. Whatever your pet’s needs, I’ll give them the care and safety they deserve! I currently work under a flexible schedule so I am available both weekends and weekdays for dog walking, check-ins, and pet sitting. I only need one day’s notice for low-intensity interactions, and a week’s notice for overnight sitting. I am attentive to your pet’s body language and any of their other needs. I can handle smaller animals safely when needed, and will keep your dogs on safe paths when walking.
About: My name is Andrea, I am 39 years old and I work full time at home. I have a 15 year old daughter and we previously had 3 pets, who have since died of old age. I have taken in many animals over the years and love for them like my own. The positive thing about working from home is that the dogs are rarely alone. I can assure you that your dogs with be very well cared for while you are away! :) About this sitter: Along with pet sitting in my home, I would also be happy to care for your pets in your home as well. Whatever you need, I am here to make this experience the best for your dogs , and to ensure they are cared for and happy! About my yard I live in a nice walking friendly neighborhood and will take your pets on lots of nice walks. I am home all day working from my computer, and will bring your pets out every few hours and play with them throughout the day. I work from home and am there with them all day. I am very active so I do take a lot of walks with your dogs and can also bring them to the park if you’d like! I have a 3 bedroom apartment and your pets are free to roam in all areas. On walks, they will be on a leash at all times and I typically walk away from other people/pets so that there is no potential problem.
About: 10+ years of dog care experience. Fun loving family environment with dog loving children. In a central location close to parks and highway. Lots of cuddles, walks, and playful interactions to feel right at home! We work from home so your fur babies will get constant care and attention with lots of potty breaks as needed. They will also get lots of love and cuddles from our kids. We take frequent walks and short trips to the park for outdoor play time. We make sure your pet feels safe and right at home with a loving environment. With lots of cuddles, outdoor park time, and frequent potty breaks they’ll have a great, safe space!
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!! I am a licensed real estate agent and mother to three beautiful children. I am available at various times to watch and care for your pets. I love to be outdoors and going for walks. I live in an apartment complex, in the building that sits in the back. I have open space and an outdoors community area where your pet can go for a walk or use the bathroom. I also am comfortable working in others homes with respect to their belongings and personal preferences.
About: I am a pre-vet student set to graduate with my bachelor's degree next year. I have taken care of many animals my entire life, I have had over 5 of my own (2 dogs, 5 cats, and a bearded dragon)! I currently work at an ER veterinary clinic and I have about a year of experience in general practice veterinary medicine, as well. I am extremely passionate about animals and I truly believe becoming a veterinarian is my calling. I promise to care for all fur babies as if they are my own 🩷 I currently work at a vet clinic, but I will make sure to make time for your furry friends! Animal care is my passion :) I have four cats, always willing to play! If your pet gets along with other pets, they are more than welcome to stay at my house!
“She took great care of my 85lb Great Pyrenees while we were gone. She stayed in touch during the entire time we were gone and I left very safe leaving my dog and house with Raleigh. I would definitely ask her to help with my pooch!”
About: Hi! I'm McKenna, an Animal Science graduate and future UC Davis veterinary student with over 2,700 hours of hands-on experience in veterinary medicine, including emergency and oncology care. I've cared for animals of all sizes—from small cats and dogs to large animals—and have experience supporting pets with pre-existing medical conditions and special care needs. I'm comfortable following detailed care instructions, administering oral medications, giving subcutaneous fluids when prescribed by a veterinarian, and monitoring pets closely for any changes in behavior or wellbeing. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, senior, or requires extra attention, my goal is to provide safe, compassionate care and give you peace of mind while you're away. Pet care is fully integrated into my daily routine—I work as a veterinary technician, so animal care is what I do professionally every day, and I also care for my four cats at home. I’m already used to managing structured feeding schedules, medication routines, litter box care, enrichment, and monitoring behavior and health changes. Because of this, I’m highly organized, reliable, and comfortable incorporating additional pet care visits seamlessly into my day. Your pet’s safety and wellbeing are always my highest priority. As a veterinary technician with clinical experience, I’m trained to observe subtle changes in behavior, appetite, and overall condition, and to act quickly if something seems off. I follow all care instructions closely, ensure secure handling during visits, and maintain a calm, low-stress environment—especially important for cats. I also make sure doors, windows, and environments are checked carefully so your pet stays safe and comfortable while you’re away.

“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.”
“Couldn’t say enough positive things. Perfect sitter for my big boy who is dog aggressive/easily triggered. I had never left him alone before and honestly felt stuck. But the time came and I didn’t have a choice. He has dog sat Rex twice now. I'm grateful to have found a sitter like Greg who gave me peace of mind knowing my big boy was in good hands. Rex was excited to see him which let me know he was being good to my boy. Thanks Greg!”
“Nini was really sweet and caring with our doggo Bear. He likes lots of attention and play time and she was really good playing fetch with him and taking him on plenty of walks. We would definitely have Nini watch Bear for us again.”
“I have nothing but AMAZING things to say about Sevan! He is truly a gem and I could not have asked for a better caretaker. Sevan has a longstanding background in dog training & is a professional in all things dog behavior. Not only did he take incredible care of my Buddha while I traveled, he helped me understand better ways to approach dog socialization. Please do yourself a favor and work with Sevan, he is a game changer!”
“This was my first time with Olga, and I'm very happy to have found her. Aria's had some stomach issues, and Olga took a good care of her feeding her cooked rice a couple of times. There's always someone in the house, so she has never been left alone, and the backyard is nice and spacious enough to hang out there during a day. I couldn't recommend Olga more!”
“Lily was super professional and really easy to work with. She made sure my dog had what she needed when I went away. Lily was polite and friendly and I’ll definitely be using her in the future. She sent me updates of my dog everyday. Thanks Lily!”
“Shahane took great care of our dog, Alto! She was very communicative and made sure to provide daily updates and photos of him having fun. They have a wonderful and clean backyard space for many dogs. We would love to board him again. He was so happy!”
“Alejandro did a great job with my dog this weekend. We had booked a last minute trip to universal studios and Alejandro was available, even on short notice. He was kind, sent great pictures throughout the day, appeared to have a nice yard, and took great care of my dog. Thank you!!”
“There are not enough characters to put into words about what an amazing boarding experience I had with Yvonne. She offered a worry free care filled boarding experience for my dog. From the initial meet and greet and her interaction with Isabella, I knew I was dealing with a professional who loves dogs and provides attention to detail in every aspect of care. Her daily photos and updates bridged the distance while I was away. I am a bit reluctant to share this, as I want her all to myself but she is truly a gem”
“This was my first experience using Rover and I couldn't have been happier with the service I got from Jessica. She is absolutely amazing. She is warm and friendly and regularly sent me updates and pictures of my fur baby. I will definitely use Jessica again.”
“My cat Frankie had such a lovely time in her home. I had to be away for several days, and I appreciated her updates and care for my fur baby. Highly recommend”
“Cathy was a great communicator, very very easy to deal with, and sent tons of pictures. Our Lulu (boxer) was obviously very happy in each picture too, she looked playful and frisky and just how you want to see your pet. Thanks Cathy!”
“Conner is great! Went out of town for five days and was not worried about Larry once. He was communicative, took Larry on some awesome hikes, and sent photos everyday. The entire process was stress-free! I would recommend him to anyone looking for boarding services!”
“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.”
“Leah was so wonderful! I will 100% rebook with her. She watched my precious pup (a 4 year-old male dachshund) and my boyfriends sweet pup (a 4 year-old male Cockapoo) for one night and one day while we celebrated our anniversary. Before she watched them, we had a meet and great to make sure they behaved well with her sweet dachshund. All three got a long so we booked with her for the weekend. Leah sent photos and updates throughout their stay and you can really tell Leah loves dogs. I previously used another rover sitter who was lovely, but seemed a little annoyed with our dogs, so this was refreshing. She is so kind and knowledgeable and our dogs had a wonderful time! Nothing but good things, and I highly recommend! ☺️?”
“I boarded my dog, Louie, for the weekend with Shu (Lily) & Jonathan. The experience was great! Lily was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about my dog Louie. I appreciated the updates and the peace of mind while I was away. I’d absolutely recommend Shu (Lily) & Jonathan for all your pet care needs and would gladly book again!”
“Kristina and her family took amazing care of our Bamba. It was so hard to leave her for so long but knowing she was in good hands (and all the photo updates) made it much easier. We would definitely recommend Kristina, Bamba was very happy there!”
“Nicole has been great with our little boy! She seems to be so calming for him and eased our minds as well with frequent pictures and updates. It was so hard to leave him but Nicole showed us that she genuinely cares for Javi.”
