“Shardae was an amazing dog sitter, and I couldn't be happier with the care she provided. From the very beginning, she was professional, communicative, and genuinely caring. It was clear that she truly loves animals and treats them like her own. She kept me updated throughout the stay, which gave me peace of mind knowing my dog was safe, happy, and well cared for. When I picked him up, he was relaxed, healthy, and clearly had a great time. I highly recommend Shardae to anyone looking for a trustworthy, reliable, and compassionate dog sitter. I will definitely be booking with her again!”

I would definitely recommend her, and I am sure we will be back. Thanks much Marilyn!!”

Highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive sitter.”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since 2008, and they’ve been a huge part of my life ever since. I’ve loved raising two dogs and two cats of my own, and as a long-time Rover user myself, I know exactly what it’s like to care deeply about who is watching your pets. One of the most rewarding experiences has been fostering senior pets who needed a little extra patience, comfort, and care. Whether your pet is an energetic puppy, a playful adult, or a sweet senior, I’ll treat them like one of my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, sticking to medication or care routines, or simply providing companionship, I’m committed to making sure your pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I know every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their routine and personality to help them feel at home and give you peace of mind. I work remotely (except on Mondays from 9–2 PM), which gives me a flexible schedule and since I only take one client at a time, it allows me to provide attentive care throughout the day. Whether your pet needs regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, meals, medication, or just some extra companionship, I’m able to incorporate their routine into my workday and ensure they receive plenty of attention and care. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely play and explore under supervision. I take the time to learn each pet’s schedule, preferences, and any special instructions so they can feel comfortable and secure while you’re away.
“As usual, Jami & Frances were fantastic! My dog Murphy is pretty much a regular with them. They love him and treat him like family every time he stays with them. Communication is always clear and timely and I couldn't ask for a better sitter. They are simply wonderful.”
“Where do I begin? Dominique is Absolutely Amazing. She took care of Paris so well went above and beyond took her own walks. Gave her extra treats and extra love. She sent me pictures and videos of Paris and what she was doing throughout the days. I am greatly appreciative of finding her and the quality of care that she gave our little fur baby. I was so thankful and ungrateful for her care that we have already rebooked twice with her for future engagements. Thank you so much, Dominique. We greatly appreciate you and Paris had a ball.”
“Great service and communication. Love the photo updates! Her calm and patience during such a difficult time in my life makes me so grateful for an amazing sitter like Rachel.”
“Yiyu was extremely accommodating with our last minute booking. She was extremely communicative with sending updates and pictures. We felt PeeWee was in GREAT hands which allowed us to have a worry and stress free time away. We will definitely be booking with Yiyu again! Thank you for taking care of our baby!”

“As always, Aileen took great care of our cat! We are always very happy with all the photos taken and the updates! :) We don’t ever worry when Aileen is taking care of him while we are gone.”
“Lipika was the greatest. What piece of mind I had on my trip. This service is so worth it. The pictures and comment go a long way. Last time I asked a friend and I didn’t feel the care that Lipika had. Thank you for great people like her and I will book again for my upcoming trip in June and September!”
About: I have taken excellent care of cats for over two years. I provide companionship, regular feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime, and basic grooming. I’m patient, attentive to their needs, and experienced with both kittens and senior cats.
About: I have grown up around cats my entire life! I am very familiar with different cat personalities and behaviors, from shy, independent cats to more social, playful ones. I currently have my own cat (her name is Miso☺️), which I’ve been fully caring for on my own for the past year, including feeding, litter care, playtime, and all the little daily routines that keep them happy and healthy. Over the years, I’ve also cat sat many times for friends and family. I’ve helped with everything from quick check-ins to longer visits, making sure their cats feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owners are away. While I’m not formally “professional” yet, I’m very responsible, gentle, and genuinely love being around cats. I always try to make sure they feel calm, safe, and cared for like they’re my own :)
About: We’re a family of two and proud cat parents to our two beloved 10-year-old cats. Animals have always been an important part of our lives, and we understand how much love, care, and attention every cat deserves. I’ve been caring for cats since I was 10 years old and have more than 30 years of experience as a cat owner. Over the years, I’ve cared for cats with a wide range of personalities, needs, and temperaments, and have developed a deep appreciation for cats of every breed and age. Because I work from home, I’m able to provide plenty of attention, companionship, and supervision throughout the day. Whether your cat enjoys playtime, affection, quiet company, or simply having someone nearby, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for during their stay. Our home is clean, quiet, smoke-free, and occupied only by my wife and me, creating a calm and stress-free environment for your cat. For safety and comfort, guest cats stay in their own private room, separate from our cats unless otherwise requested. Your cat will receive: • A private room for a peaceful and secure stay • Fresh food and water provided daily • Litter box cleaning and waste removal 3 times per day • Comfortable bedding, fan, and cozy resting areas • Daily monitoring, attention, and companionship • A clean, tidy, and loving home environment We know how important it is to have peace of mind when leaving your cat in someone else’s care. Our goal is to treat every cat like family and provide the same level of love, patience, and attention that we give our own. We look forward to meeting you and your feline family member! 🐾💕
“Maggie is an above and beyond pet-sitter! She has taken care of our bunny twice now, and we always come home to a happy and healthy little guy. She sends detailed pictures, videos, and updates after every visit. We will definitely be booking with Maggie again!”
“Kendra is AMAZING! Our kitten, Pico, warmed up to her right away. During our 10 day trip, Pico decided to be a picky eater and refused to eat. Kendra brought food options over to our home for him to try, eventually finding one he liked. She made sure to communicate everyday with messages, images, and videos. I am sure Pico will be excited to see her when we leave for future trips.”
“I’m so glad we found Esme! She was incredibly sweet and communicative right from the beginning. She took excellent care of our cat. She sent tons of pictures/videos and was super gracious with our last minute schedule change for pickup. Our cat, Wally, looked like he was having an amazing time and got so much attention! We’ll definitely use Esme again in the future the next time we need a Rover.”
“Indra did an amazing job dropping in to check on out pets during our trip. She was prompt, reliable, and communicative. She took extra care giving out pets the type of attention they like, and shared great pictures and videos with us daily. Would highly recommend.”
“Angelica was lovely! My two cats were fine when I got home and she also helped take care of my chickens. I received updates daily and I didn’t worry about the care for my animals. Will definitely book her again!”
“Marianna was absolutely wonderful. She took very good care of our senior kitty Zelda, which involved tracking and administering different meals, giving nightly meds, making sure Z was comfy with her laser light and TV programs, and more. She left beautiful and detailed notes, sent great pics of Z, and went above and beyond too, doing things like filling our bird feeder and washing and refilling the water dishes we keep out for birds, which was not something we asked her to do but was very much appreciated. She left everything better than she found it. She responded quickly when I reached out to her too. Marianna has a sweet, calm energy that immediately put us and Z at ease. We definitely plan to work with Marianna next time Z needs grounded and loving care.”
About: Hi everyone my name is Angie and I may be new to Rover but I am not new to loving and caring for precious pups. I currently don't have any dogs living with me but prior to July 2025 I had my own fur babies since 1992. I decided this would be a wonderful way for me to get some puppy love, bring peace of mind to traveling pet parents, and make some money while providing a loving service. I have taken care of many of my friends pups along the way. Saki, Sophie, Sushi, Bodhi, Lucy, and Honey. I also occasionally foster dogs to help my friend's rescue. I would love to meet and care for your babies. My home is a safe and loving space for pups to play and have their "stay-cation"!! I work from home and will be available to be with the pet pretty much all day. Consistent time outdoors will be provided weather permitting. I have a fenced yard with plenty of room to play or grab that nice patch of sunshine to nap in. I maintain a clean and calm environment.
“We just moved to the area and Marianne was wonderful keeping our minds at ease while we had to go out of town without our two cats. Marianne provided daily updates with pictures, was super responsive, and even our shy cat loved her. 10/10 will be booking with her again. We’re so grateful!!”

“Birgitta made all visits including checking robot litter box, auto feeders, and water. She kept close contact and provided status updates on the rover.com app. We arrived home early and was able to help with the final 8th day feeding without issues. The cat looked great. Thanks for taking good care for 'Nile.'”

“Noreen was AMAZING. I was so nervous leaving my puppy with someone else for the first time but Noreen put my mind at ease with frequent pictures and updates. She made our first Rover experience seamless. I will definitely be booking with Noreen in the future! My puppy was so happy when she got home ❤️.”
“This was his very first time at an all-day daycare, and I was honestly pretty nervous leaving him. From the start, Shardae made everything feel so easy and reassuring. She sent thoughtful updates and photos throughout the day, and every single one showed a happy, relaxed pup who was clearly being cared for and loved. Seeing him playing and comfortable truly put my mind at ease. All I ever want is for my dog to feel safe, happy, and loved, and that is exactly what Shardae provided. Total success. I would absolutely trust her again and recommend her to anyone looking.”
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and can’t imagine a day without them! I grew up with a loving family dog, which taught me the importance of patience, care, and understanding a pup’s unique personality.

I also live in a safe, pet-friendly residential area with plenty of sidewalks and green spaces, making walks both enjoyable and secure. Your dog’s safety and happiness are my top priorities, and I’ll treat them like family while they’re in my care! My dog is also crate trained, potty trained and gentle.

About: Last year we said goodbye to our thirty pound poodle mix after 17 amazing years. Our kids, ages 15, 12, 9, and 5 have had a dog in the home all their lives and while we aren't ready to get a new dog just yet we would love to take care of yours! My husband Liam, always had dogs in his family’s house growing up. We have a spacious home and fenced back yard in a quiet Hawthorne neighborhood close to LAX. It’s easy for us to let the dogs out back throughout the day and to go for frequent walks around the block. We used Rover for our own dog so we know how great it feels to know that your pup is being taken care of like family while you are away. Poodles, poodle mixes, and smaller dogs are preferred but there’s always exceptions. My husband Liam, and I both work from home so there's always an adult around to make sure the dogs are taking care of. We live in a quiet neighborhood that's easy to take the dogs on walks. And with our backyard we can let the dogs out for frequent bathroom breaks if needed. We have a completely fenced in back yard that our dog loved in his time here. Our older children are at school or activities for most of the day so the dogs will generally have the run of the house.
About: I’ve been caring for friends’ and family’s pets for years, and it’s become one of my favorite things to do. I’m the person everyone calls when they need someone they truly trust and the biggest compliment I get is that their pets don’t want to go home when vacation ends! I’ve cared for all kinds of personalities, from energetic pups who love outdoor time to cozy cuddle-bugs who just want companionship and a soft place to snooze. I’m attentive, patient, and always prioritize keeping pets happy, relaxed, and loved while their families are away. I also live very close to LAX which is convenient if you need to drop your dog while you’re away. I also have a large fenced in backyard that dogs absolutely love. Please note, I only take one dog at a time. I work from home part-time, so caring for pets blends perfectly into my daily life. I love having furry company during the day and can give frequent attention — whether that's walks, play breaks, or extra cuddle sessions. Your pet won’t be left waiting; they’ll be part of my daily routine and treated like family. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a secure, pet-friendly environment with constant supervision and a fully fenced backyard for safe outdoor time. I take care to follow your pet’s routine and needs closely, and I treat every animal with the same level of attention and respect as I do my own. You can feel confident knowing your pet is in a safe, caring, and trustworthy home.

About: Fur Baby Caretaker LLC I’ve absolutely adored animals since I was 4yrs old. I started getting educated on animals at a young age and knew my dream was to work with animals. I started my professional career in the industry in 2017. I worked at a dog daycare and boarding facility for a year, then moved on to a facility for dogs and cats, which I worked at from 2018-2022. Over the years at these facilities, I’ve learned about proper care, training and grooming techniques for dogs, and care for cats. I have plenty of experience working with different breeds of dogs from the smallest teacup poodle, to the chunkiest bulldog, to the biggest Great Dane. I’ve worked with many different breeds, sizes and personalities in large daycare groups, so I’ve learned how to manage different demeanors in different settings. With cats, I understand their boundaries and don’t like to force any interaction on them, but if they are comfortable with it I give them lots of love. I’ve also volunteered at a shelter for dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, and rodents. At the shelter, I focused on learning how to properly care for rodents and cats. *I don’t discriminate against any pet’s breed, size, age, medical condition, etc. I treat them all with the best care.* **I am able to dispense oral medication to pets if necessary. I AM NOT CERTIFIED TO GIVE INJECTION (NEEDLE INVOLVED) MEDICATION** I work part time in Gardena in the afternoon-evening Mon-Fri, but typically am home or close by during most of the day and on weekends. I usually to stay local when running errands. My apartment is gated and a code or key is needed to enter the premises. We have a large grass area right out front, which is not gated. There’s plenty of grass and parks in the neighborhood to go to during walks. My apartment is on the second floor with the luxury of having the parking garage underneath me, so your pet running around the house won’t disturb anyone! I stay alert and aware of my surroundings at all times for safety purposes. I have multiple rooms and gates to separate pets when necessary (feeding, bedtime, rest breaks…etc.) My pets are flea treated regularly and stay up to date on their vaccines. **IMPORTANT NOTICE BELOW!!! In order to keep my home a healthy and clean environment for all, IF PETS ARRIVE WITH FLEAS I require a $50-$100 cleaning fee AND a flea bath may apply with a MINIMUM charge of $38/pet bathed. I HIGHLY recommend flea treatments and checking your pets for fleas BEFOREHAND to avoid additional charges. ADDITIONALLY, if your pet causes any damages to my property there will be a MINIMUM charge of $25 for repairs/replacements.**
“Indra was beyond incredible. She clearly loves animals and went above and beyond taking care of my pet. From spending extra time, coming extra days, and taking really long walks. She is attentive, responsive, and kind. I give her my highest recommendation.”
About: I grew up with dogs and have loved animals from a young age. I had German Shepherds growing up and was involved in their everyday care, including feeding, playing, walking, and keeping them comfortable and safe. While I don’t currently have pets of my own, my experience growing up with dogs taught me to be patient, attentive, and respectful of each animal’s individual personality and needs. I’m excited to provide your pet with a safe, loving, and comfortable experience. I currently work part-time and am available for pet care all day on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, as well as Thursday mornings. During my available hours, I’m able to give pets plenty of attention, companionship, and care. I’m happy to follow your pet’s usual routine and make sure they feel comfortable and well cared for while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’m attentive to their behavior, surroundings, feeding schedule, and individual needs. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, keep their environment clean and secure, and communicate with you about how your pet is doing. I want both you and your pet to feel comfortable and confident while they’re in my care.

About: I've taken dog grooming classes. I know how to bathe dogs and trim their nails. I've worked at a dog day care before. There, I helped watch dogs of all sizes and ages and bathe them as needed. I'm currently working part-time, so I have some free time throughout the week to pet-sit, walk, and drop in. I currently cannot board due to my apartment not allowing pets at the moment. I follow what I believe is the best protocol when dealing with animals. When I introduce myself, I like to lower myself to the ground to meet them at their level and try to let them approach me when they want. I love to play and pet animals.
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was a child, and I do believe it is my purpose in life! I have worked at dog day care facilities and rehab clinics for sick / injured wild animals, where I received training in CPR, medication administration and behavioral training. PLEASE NOTE: I can only board dogs that are under 50lbs in my home. However, I am more than happy to walk / drop-in on dogs of any size! I love all animals, but particularly more challenging ones are my favorite :) (I.e energetic puppies, grumpy oldies and quirky personality traits.) I will love your animal(s) as if they are my own! With plenty of play time, outdoor exploration and socialization to ensure your baby is happy and well taken care of. *** Please don’t hesitate to message me if you have any other pets that are not dogs / cats, I can take care of them as well during drop-ins / overnight visits if needed. I work full time as an animal care taker from our home with my partner. This is our full time job and we absolutely love every minute of it. I have a fenced yard with 2 cats and 2 dogs at home for plenty of socialization and playtime. I can also crate your pup if needed, as well as separate my animals from them if needed as well.
“Thank you so much for helping us with Chewie. We appreciate your communication, kindness, and professionalism. We definitely look forward to working with you again in the future.”
About: I have several years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I grew up with pets at home and have helped friends and neighbors with daily walks, feeding, and playtime. I’m comfortable handling both energetic puppies and calm senior dogs, making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I have a flexible schedule and can fit pet care around my daily routine. I’m available both weekdays and weekends, and I always make time to give pets the attention they deserve. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets. In my client’s home, I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully—whether it’s feeding schedule, walking routes, or house rules. I make sure doors and gates are securely closed at all times, and I never leave pets unattended outdoors.
“Kirsten is the GREATEST WALKER EVER! Not only is she a super sweet person, she takes amazing care of our fur baby Phoebe and provides tons of adorable pictures and updates. It’s been a relief having her provide walks/check-ins while we’re out of town. 11/10 would recommend Kirsten!! ?”
About: I have ample experience caring for other families dogs, as well as my own three who have now passed. I have been a trusted caregiver for pets for over 10 years, including overnight stays and drop-ins. I will care for your dog/cat as if they are my own family’s pets. I am currently working remotel after graduating College, so pet-sitting fits perfectly into my schedule. I have a fully open schedule, and am ready to care for your sweet fur babies! I care for pets in my home, or a clients home, the way that I would care for my own pets. This care is full of love, compassion, energy and excitement.
About: I have experience with newborns as I fostered my dog fajita and his five other siblings when they were just two weeks old. I have experience in bottle feeding, formula and cleaning. I also have experience in gravely ill dogs that require administering medication’s. I am new to this area and looking forward to meeting new pups and assisting their paw parents with their pet care needs. I work a 3/12 which gives me a lot of flexibility to spend time with your pup whether that be going to the park, a hike, a stroll around the neighborhood or just keeping them company. I have a gated yard that has enough space for you’re put to sniff, play and run around. No toxic chemicals are sprayed in the grass and the property is secure enough that you can feel at ease knowing your pup is safe.
About: I have 3 dogs and 2 cats of my own, each one of them are rescues and required a lot of time and patience. I’m experienced in dog trading as well as administering medication. It helps me stay active as well as helps gain more experience with animals. I work from home so it helps me get my daily vitamin d . I’ve personally crate trained my dogs, it’s helped me monitor them while I’m not home. I like to take them on long walks and have play dates to get their energy out as well as stimulate their mind.

“Shardae was an amazing dog sitter, and I couldn't be happier with the care she provided. From the very beginning, she was professional, communicative, and genuinely caring. It was clear that she truly loves animals and treats them like her own. She kept me updated throughout the stay, which gave me peace of mind knowing my dog was safe, happy, and well cared for. When I picked him up, he was relaxed, healthy, and clearly had a great time. I highly recommend Shardae to anyone looking for a trustworthy, reliable, and compassionate dog sitter. I will definitely be booking with her again!”
“3rd time booking with Gabrielle! She keeps us updated daily with photos and has great communication. Pick up and drop off are always smooth. Loki is excited everytime he gets to stay with her! Will definitley keep booking with Gabrielle!”
“Marilyn is so professional and reliable, we are so happy to have found her. She took our dogs last minute and we have definitely found our fit! She has a very large yard which includes a huge portion of it dedicated for dogs which is separated by a fence, just what our furry friends needed, not to mention the care and individual attention that she provided. I would definitely recommend her, and I am sure we will be back. Thanks much Marilyn!!”
“Birgitta was awesome! Riley loved staying at her home- especially the great backyard. Birgitta sent me lots of photos and videos of Riley during her stay. Everything was wonderful- thank you so much! Kim & Riley”
“Emily was such a great pet sitter for my dog! She sent me updates with photos/vids daily which definitely eased my worries of leaving my senior dog with someone. I knew she was in great hands. Emily was also great at making sure Cleo had her daily walks and her regular schedule. She is a true gem and I'm so glad I found her (also in such close proximity) and would highly recommend her and use her for a future stay! :) thanks again Emily!”
“Carmen was Amazing with our weimwarner Hazel. She sent us updates daily with pictures on their outings. She took Hazel out on numerous walks each day. Hazel seemed to enjoy herself very much. I will definitely use Carmen again. Thank you Carmen for taking such good care of Hazel. Kathy”
“Where do I begin? Dominique is Absolutely Amazing. She took care of Paris so well went above and beyond took her own walks. Gave her extra treats and extra love. She sent me pictures and videos of Paris and what she was doing throughout the days. I am greatly appreciative of finding her and the quality of care that she gave our little fur baby. I was so thankful and ungrateful for her care that we have already rebooked twice with her for future engagements. Thank you so much, Dominique. We greatly appreciate you and Paris had a ball.”
“Great service and communication. Love the photo updates! Her calm and patience during such a difficult time in my life makes me so grateful for an amazing sitter like Rachel.”
“Shannon was absolutely wonderful with Nibbles! She watched her for 9 days in her home, and I’m so happy we found her. Drop-off and pick-up were super easy, and Shannon was very thorough about asking questions beforehand so she could make sure Nibbles was comfortable and knew her routine and preferences. She took such great care of her and made sure she was happy, well-fed, comfortable, and got lots of love and attention. I could tell Nibbles was in really good hands, as I received consistent updates/pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Shannon is such a sweetheart, and I’m extremely happy with the care she gave Nibbles. I would absolutely recommend her and will definitely use her again in the future!”
“Since my dog returned to me, she hasn't shown any signs of being hurt, sad or angry. She has a good appetite and is very energetic, so I believe she had wonderful time with Vanessa. Vanessa texted me about the dog's condition every day with pictures, which allowed us to travel with peace of mind. Thank you so much. I look forward to working with you again next time.”
“Lacey did a great job with our almost 5 year old lab mix. She sent photos and our little Lady came home happy and tired. Will definitely work with Lacey again!”
“We are so happy with our experience with Marco. Both of our dogs get ecstatic every time we drop them off at his place! He always provides us with photos and updates as well. Couldn’t recommend him enough!”
“Christy and her family took good care of our baby. Our dog Kenobi loved theirs (Phoebe) too and even she was so patient with him. I’m so glad we booked Christy for our dog’s first overnight boarding experience. Christy didn’t even hesitate to hand-feed our Kenobi just to make sure he eats. We’ll book them again for sure! 🤗”
“Brittany is the best! My pup Nala is a sweetheart but deals with a lot of reactivity issues and it’s hard to find someone with enough experience, patience, trust, and love to watch her while I’m out of town. Brittany was more than willing and able to work with her and give her a chance. Brittany was AMAZING with her. I didn’t worry once about Nala while I was out of the country. She walked her multiple times per day, played with her, made sure she was always safe, and gave her so much love. She already has crates for large dogs at her home, which made everything so much easier. She gave me lots of updates, pictures, and videos every single day. She followed all of the instructions I left and took her job very seriously. Nala loved her so much and I could tell she felt right at home. Thank you so much Brittany!”
“Mollie was such a great dog sitter to Dexter , she gave me updates && sent me a lot of pictures. Highly recommend. Will definitely be rebooking. Thank you.”
“Ryan is an amazing human being and took such great care of our beloved and neurotic little Jack-Chi, Henry. Henry requires a very nuanced and trauma informed approach to his care because he’s a rescue, and Ryan’s care giving was as expert and flawless as we could have hoped for. I would rebook with Ryan in a heartbeat next time we need pet sitting assistance. So grateful for him giving our little Prince Henry such amazing love and care while we were out of the country.”
“April is such an attentive person. She takes great care of our dog every trip and sends plenty of updates with photos. He also comes home happy and playful, which shows me he’s been playing all week. Thanks again for another great stay!!”
“Chyna was amazing!! We needed a sitter for 4 nights (on a holiday weekend) at the very last minute and she was so accommodating! Made sure my dog got lots of outdoor time and sent lots of pictures and updates. She was very kind and professional.”
“Xenia and her crew are the absolute best. Bogie’s favorite Rover ever to go to and stay with. She has the best time with Xenia’s sweet pups, they seem to have a blast every time. We love them and always feel so comfortable leaving Bogie with them!”
