“Angela is an amazing at caring for our skittish doggie, and she is even flexible enough to accommodate drop ins for our kitties! Can't rave enough about how good she is. She takes time to get our fur babies acclimated to things, is very patient, provides daily updates and even a "Pawgress Report" for us when the booking is complete! Simply awesome! 😃”
“Shar was amazing per usually despite my Prada misbehaved on a day. Shar was patient with Prada and explained to me what Prada can benefit from when she starts dog training, to make her overall a more polite dog around other dogs. I will definitely book with Shar and recommend her to anyone who needs a pet sitter, as I trust her with my Prada care while I’m away. Thank you Shar!!!”
“Kyle was great! Super responsive, nice to meet, and took great care of our maltipoo! I loved the photo updates during her stay. Definitely recommend him. We will use him again.”
“My sweet Coco needed boarding and Tian was such an amazing host for her! He was so communicative and sent me pictures and videos throughout the night and day until pick up time, and he was very responsive to my texts, which made me feel at ease and I loved getting updates on Coco’s day. Tian is absolutely someone I would recommend, and will definitely be my go-to going forward! 😊”
“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!!”
“Our experience with Ms. Jami and her mom was WONDERFUL. Our doggy Yoddah acclimated to her and her welcoming home immediately at our meet and greet. Jami was assuring, VERY nice and accommodating to our extended need for dog sitting! Jami sent pictures and a video showing Yoddah comfortable and happy! Our dog was pampered and enjoyed his stay. We will definitely be rebooking in the near future. We wish we could give 10 ⭐️'s❣️ Highly recommended. -theBookmans”
“This was Ruby’s second stay with Beverly. I felt very at ease knowing Ruby was in good hands for the 6 days she boarded with Beverly. I loved that Ruby had other dogs to socialize with in an indoor/outdoor home setting & that Beverly is watchful to ensure interactions are safe. I highly recommend Beverly.”
“Emily and her dog Maple were great at taking care of my dog, Leo! He loved playing with Maple. She was also super accommodating on some scheduling changes for drop off and pickup times for boarding. Would definitely recommend using her for daycare and boarding.”

“My 1.5 year old Chihuahua takes a minute to warm up to any stranger and the moment that Yu-Yen walked through the door for his first walk he needed belly rubs from her!! And even on their walk! (Which he never does haha) she’s so kind and showed up right on time and she’s even now doing an overnight stay for four days with him because he loved her so much! 10/10 would recommend”
“Marianna was such a great sitter! She took care of my house, leaving it more put together than before I left. She took out my trash, figured out the high tech litter situation, sent me cute pictures and even left me with a little card and Polaroids of my kitties. My cats were so mellow and happy when I came home. Seeing pictures of them piled on top of her left me feeling so secure that they were comfortable. I would highly recommend Marianna.”
“Maggie took incredible care of our bunny and our home while we were away. She always sends detailed updates with photos that mean the world to us when we’re traveling! Maggie is the best!”
About: I have been dog sitting and dog walking for friends and neighbors for about 15 years now. I have done dog sitting for various breeds including chihuahuas, corgis, german shepherds, aussies, poodles, etc. so I know how different their energy levels can be but can handle it all! Depending on what you are comfortable with, your dogs stay will include trips to the dog park, long walks around the neighborhood, playing with my own doggo, and of course being showered with love. I have my own Australian Shepherd who loves meeting new friends! Both of us would love to get the chance to spend some time with your doggo! I do work full time but I work earlier in the day so have afternoons / evenings free for drop-in’s, walks, etc for your doggo! I’ll treat your pupper the way I’d want a sitter to treat my baby and of course that includes sending tons of pics of your fur baby to you while I’m there :)
“Esmeralda was amazing with our girl Amilia. Kept us updated throughout the day with all the pictures and was so easy to communicate with. Looking forward to rebooking with her again soon and HIGHLY recommend!”
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.
“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.”
“Liz did an excellent job following my litany of instructions for a week long house sitting. She had a 100% success rate with insulin injections on my diabetic cat. Very happy and will book her again for another vacation”
“Thank you for taking such good care of my cats! :) Aileen communicates very well and replies fast! She takes so many cute photos of your pets! Would definitely recommend and use again in the future!”
“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.'”

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 not working 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.
“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!”
“Kendra is a great care giver and exceeded my expectations. She spent some some time with each of my three cats offering them patience as they got used to her visits. She was thorough in their feeding and box maintenance. Her photos and videos during each visit were great and really helped me to enjoy my time away as I knew my cats were in excellent care. Thank you!!”
“Caitlin is Highly Recommended!!! We Love Caitlin like family. She watched after our kitty, Lord Byron, while we were away. She did everything we requested and then some. She did everything so perfectly that anyone would be lucky to have her watch after their pets! She is special and has so much love for animals.

“Shardae was really a pro in taking care of our precious Tasha! There’s a magic on her that even my dog is so much attached to me and my husband she just went straight to Shardae without looking on us. She feels like it’s going to be great day even without us. When we pick her up I know she had a fantastic day because she just sit quietly in the car and nap. So calm and happy baby. Thank you Shardae! You’ll be our go to when we go back to LA area.”

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. Now, as a young adult, I have my own sweet dog who is almost 2 years old. I know firsthand what it takes to keep them happy, safe, and well cared for. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or snuggles, I treat every dog like my own, making sure they feel loved and comfortable while you’re away! I work from home Monday through Friday, which means I’m available throughout the day to care for your pup. From playtime to outdoor walks, I’ll be there to keep them happy, active, and comfortable whenever they need me! Whether it’s playtime, potty breaks, or just some extra belly rubs, I’m always nearby to meet their needs. 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.
“Kyle was quick to reply to a last minute dog sitting request, and I’m so grateful he was able to help. He was flexible, accommodating, and very responsive throughout the entire process. This was my first time putting my puppy in daycare, but he reassured me and made me feel confident that my puppy was in good hands. He clearly has experience with puppies and even puppy socialization. I’ll definitely be coming back!”
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.
“Marilyn showed us the area where our dog would be while in her care. She was sweet and excited to meet Kona. We’re extremely grateful that she was able to care for our pup at such unconventional hours! Thank you for your patience and excellent communication!”
“Noreen was great with my pup calypso. She was super tired when she got home. I was so happy she slept through the whole night! She ensured calypso got lots of play time and cuddles.”
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. 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.

I really appreciated the updates she would send. In his most recent stay, she babysat for a day and I never had to worry! Again, if you’re looking for someone you can trust, it’s Alice!”

Melissa was definitely the highlight of their day and her presence made them not only extremely happy, but apparently gave them their appetite back. Thank you!”
About: I have my dog for 14 years. And all my friends or family know how much I love her and that we take care of her I'm not working right now. I just had a baby. And I want to spend most of the time with him. And I think I can dedicate time to the pets and my baby I have a fenced patio.

About: We (my husband, son and me) are a family of pet lovers! We are flexible to provided walks and drop-ins in the areas around Hawthorne/South Bay and LMU/Westchester/LAX. Willing to house sit dogs and cats as well across a wider location radius. Since we live with grandma, 3 dogs, and a two year old we are available for walks, check-ins, house-sitting. For an increased rate, we can offer boarding for a kid and dog friendly pet. We both had many pets growing up and have been dog and cat sitters for 15+ years. For a period of 5-6 years Sarah would regularly house sit for a friend who had a temperamental dog who needed medication and extra care. Lately we have several kitty drop-in clients including giving medication via injection and pill. We are very flexible as George works mostly from home and Sarah doesn’t teach (professor at LMU) everyday. Our experience and love of animals will ensure that your fur baby is well cared for. My husband and I work together to care for dogs and cats. I work at LMU and my husband works at home in Hawthorne, so we can flexibly accommodate walks and drop-ins near those locations. Also willing to house sit if your pet is kid friendly—willing to travel across a greater radius to house sit. We are dog and cat lovers with lots of experience. We have a 2 year old and 3 dogs at home, so not offering boarding currently unless it’s a great offer. We can take your dogs in a safe, fun walk either with or without other dogs. We can also drop in on or housesit your dog or cat.
About: I’ve cared for dogs for most of my life and have had my own dog since I was 10 years old, which helped me become aware of the responsibility, consistency, and attention that pet care requires. Through daily routines like feeding, walking, bathing, playtime, and providing companionship, I’ve developed a strong understanding of dogs’ needs and behaviors. I also regularly help care for my sister’s dog multiple times a week, assisting with walks, feeding, supervision, and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for. I’m dependable, patient, and genuinely enjoy creating a positive and loving environment for every pet in my care. Available most days after 11:00 AM and unavailable on Mondays. Prefer to accept bookings within the same area to provide reliable scheduling, consistent availability, and attentive care for each dog. I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment for every pet in my care. I make sure pets stay on their normal routines as much as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions provided by the owner. I pay close attention to behavior, energy levels, and overall comfort to ensure pets feel secure and well cared for. I also use positive reinforcement by providing treats for good behavior and encouraging healthy habits during walks and visits. At the same time, I stay firm with boundaries and avoid rewarding unwanted behavior to help maintain consistency and structure. In a client’s home, I respect the space, maintain cleanliness, and provide attentive supervision while giving pets companionship and consistency. During walks and visits, I focus on safety by keeping pets secure, avoiding unsafe situations, and making sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and care.
About: I have grown up with dogs around me & have 1 of my own 🐶 💕. Before rover I used to take care of my friends dogs for fun! I have the biggest heart for doggies, they are amazing! I have been on the rover app for over a year now & gained even more experience with taking care of dogs. I do very well at looking over them, playing with them, & make sure they are happy! I am a college student at Cypress college. I have now finished my 2 years as a full time student & have become a part time student for now! I am also now currently working as a part time Behavior therapist. So doing rover fits perfectly into my schedule right now as it is not so cramped. Drop ins-In your home I will make sure to ask & follow your rules. I will keep in mind where the doggy is allowed & not allowed to be. I will always be making sure that your fur baby is comfortable & happy 😊.
About: Small dogs get a bad rap. I love them! I used to take care of my aunt's little dogs when she would go out of town. I would stay with them all day, giving them walks, feeding them at the scheduled times, and playing with them. I was never able to have a pet of my own, so I cherish it even more when I am able to be around them. I have experience in the TNR and rescue of a cat colony in my previous home, which shows I am willing to put in the effort to care for your beloved animals. I hope you choose me to dote on your pets! I am currently unemployed, so I have all the time in the world to care for your pets! Animals are my favorite thing in the world, so caring for your pet will always be my pleasure. I am patient with animals and I will always put their comfort and safety first. You can count on me to care for them to the absolute best of my ability, and to work around or indulge any quirks they have.
“Bradley and Greta LOVE Jared. We hired him to give them a mid-day break/walk while we were unavailable and he gave them so much more than we were hoping for! He not only took them on a 30+ walk around Green Lake, but he also took them to the dog park to ensure our pups were nice and tired before returning them home. Even though it was only a walk, he gave updates about his arrival/departure times, what they were doing, and how the dogs were. Our dogs were super happy and exhausted when we returned, so we know they're looking forward to seeing Jared again. We plan to use Jared for both our dog walking and house sitting needs in the future. He's our favorite sitter so far!”
About: I've grown up with all types of dogs my whole life. Dogs are my happiness, and would love to work with them on my free time. I have an open availability right now for any day of the week and weekend. I would be able to dog sit whenever there is an opportunity to. I'm a very gentle person with dogs, I go above and beyond to care for them, play with them and make sure they are always in a safe environment.

“Shar was amazing per usually despite my Prada misbehaved on a day. Shar was patient with Prada and explained to me what Prada can benefit from when she starts dog training, to make her overall a more polite dog around other dogs. I will definitely book with Shar and recommend her to anyone who needs a pet sitter, as I trust her with my Prada care while I’m away. Thank you Shar!!!”
“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!!”
“Emily and her dog Maple were great at taking care of my dog, Leo! He loved playing with Maple. She was also super accommodating on some scheduling changes for drop off and pickup times for boarding. Would definitely recommend using her for daycare and boarding.”
“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!”
“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!!”
“Birgitta, her husband and son provided Scully with a great weekend away from home! Consistent updates in the form of photos and quick messages on their activities for the day helped us be very comfortable that Scully was being well taken care of. I would recommend Birgitta to anyone looking for great pet care, and will certainly be booking her in the future!”
“Christy was great! She made Barry White feel right at home. We were able to enjoy ourselves at our event and rest easy knowing he was in loving hands. Thanks Christy and Patrick!!”
“John & Miyabi took amazing care of our goldendoodle. He is super high energy and easily excitable and they handled him with no problem. He had the best time and honestly I don’t think he wanted to leave! We will definitely bring him back to stay with John & Miyabi again.”
“Mollie is the best! Excellent communication, super flexible, sends great pics and — most importantly — takes such good care of Harley. Mollie is a true animal lover and I’d recommend her to anyone who’s looking for an excellent pet-sitter.”
“We left our 14 week old puppy with Shane for 3 nights to attend a family wedding …. We were so worried to leave him and knew we needed someone with puppy patience. Shane took the challenge with shining colors! Bernie came home loved and pampered! He even learned to master the stairs! Thanks Shane!”
“Courtney and her husband took such great care of our dog Blue. She sent us regular pics and provided updates, and we felt very comfortable having them watch our dog. We wouldn’t hesitate to ask them to watch her again. Highly recommended.”
“Shiyibin is the best! Felix loves staying with her. Great communication skills, sends pictures and updates, very responsive and easy to work with. I know Felix is in good hands with her.”
“I recently had the pleasure of leaving my dog with Xenia, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Xenia was incredibly thoughtful in accommodating my dog’s schedule, ensuring a smooth and stress-free stay. Her own dogs were very friendly and welcoming, making my dog feel right at home. I highly recommend Xenia for anyone looking for a caring and considerate dog sitter.”
“John was amazing with our pup Leo. He was great at communicating and sent great pics of Leo having a great time, even took him down to the beach for a pawventure. More importantly he was gracious with his communication when Leo had a few accidents in his care when Leo had never done that before which totally mortified us. It was our first time using Rover and glad we did it with John. Definitely plan on using him again and highly recommend to others.”
“brittany took excellent care of our two dogs! she was very thoughtful in her messages and was really responsive. we greatly appreciated all the photos and the attentive care she took for each dog’s needs. will definitely be using brittany again!”
“Melanie was AMAZING! I am so happy to have found her. It’s always a little unsettling leaving your dog behind on vacation, but knowing she was with Melanie (and basically on vacation herself!) put us at so much ease. Zoe had so many great adventures during her 1-week stay, from pack walks in the hills to the beach and beyond. Melanie and her family treated Zoe like a member of their family, which made us so happy. Melanie was super communicative and sent photos of their adventures daily. We’ll definitely be taking Zoe back to Melanie next time we need someone to look after her!”
