“We love Kyle!!!!! He was able to accommodate a last minute request while we got some work done on the house and Lofi got some awesome puppy socialization. We can’t thank you enough!!”
“Mochi stayed his first night with Vanessa and Christian and their pack! My wife just picked him up this morning and he is KNOCKED OUT! It’s safe to say, he had a wonderful time. Long story short, my wife and I will be attending a wedding very soon, and we typically would leave Mochi with her parents. Since they will also be attending the wedding, we needed someone to care for Mochi for a few nights. This is how we stumbled upon Vanessa dog care services on Rover. We are so relieved and grateful that Mochi loves his stays, and he’s always so excited when we pull around the corner. Don’t bother reading on, because there’s no doubt you and your pup will be happy with Vanessa and Christian!”
“Jen was a good choice for us to leave our little dog Pilot with. She kepted a good watch over him, sent us lots of pictures and he looked happy. Thank you for taking good care of Pilot.”
“Michelle was an amazing pet sitter. This was my first time leaving my puppy with someone other then family and I could not be happier with my choice of leaving him in Michelle's capable hands. She treated my dog as if he was a member of her family. She gave my dog lots of love and attention and ensure he got lots of walks which he loved. Snoopy broke a nail the day before I had to leave and Michelle graciously help take care of him e-collar and all. She provided his medication and followed all his care instructions. Michelle also allowed my puppy to sleep with her which was very comforting for my puppy who is used to sleeping with me. Michelle kids were also great with Snoopy (my dog) and I could tell in all the wonderful video updates that he was very happy. I definitely missed my puppy more then I thought and Michelle happily provided me additional videos and pictures which made my family's and my day seeing him so happy and well taken care of. Michelle is more then just a pet sitter, she genuinely loves dogs and goes the extra mile to make sure the dogs in her care feel comfortable and happy. Will absolutely book her again.”
“Kimberlee was AMAZING with our puppy and as a petsitter. She went above and beyond with her attention to detail and all the care she put into watching Lofi. Her space is so warm, welcoming, and cozy for both humans AND animals. We knew immediately that we're going to be repeat clients when Lofi needs a home away from home!! Our little girl got so many walks, socialization outings, and we loved seeing the pictures. Lofi came back happy, already pottied, and like she had the time of her life! Kimberlee also dropped her off on pick-up day since we are nearby and gave my husband and I extra time to unpack from our weekend trip to the desert. She is so thoughtful and we can't express enough how wonderful it is to have her to watch our pup. Thank you Kimberlee!!!!!”
“Shane was so great with our puppy over a weekend trip. Despite the high energy and rambunctious puppy behavior, Shane made sure our dog had a great time and kept us constantly updated with photos and videos. We look forward to working with Shane again!”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ms. Beverly was absolutely wonderful with our two dogs while we were out of town! From the moment we met her, we felt completely comfortable leaving our pups in her care. She was kind, attentive, and treated them like they were part of her own family. She kept us updated, and it was clear our dogs were happy, well cared for, and getting lots of love and attention. Coming home to two relaxed and happy pups gave us such peace of mind. We are so grateful for the excellent care Ms. Beverly provided and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and dependable pet sitter. We will definitely be booking with her again! 🐾💛”
“They took wonderful care of my guy! They sent updates with pictures and I knew he was in good hands! Thanks so much for helping me breathe easy knowing my dog was in good hands while I was away!”
“Krissy did a great job taking care of Bella. Only issue was her nose was scratched when she came home - Not sure when it happened but based on the pics Krissy sent me, likely did not happen during her watch. Either way it’s fine now! Krissy sent me 4-5 updates as per my request. Bella enjoys her time with Krissy and we will be using her services in the future. Thank you for taking care of my sweet girl!”
About: I have been devoted to animal care for as long as I can remember. Born in Burlingame, California, I have lived in different parts of the United States, experiences that have shaped my adaptability, compassion, and appreciation for different communities and lifestyles. My journey with animals began at five years old in Macedonia, where I spent my childhood caring for stray cats and dogs and developing a lifelong passion for protecting and advocating for animals. I hold a B.S. in Chemistry and Biology from Middle Tennessee State University and have over 1,000 hours of veterinary assistant experience. My scientific background, combined with hands-on clinical experience, allows me to provide thoughtful, detail-oriented care while recognizing subtle changes in behavior, comfort, and health. I recently completed an upper-level Animal Physiology course through UCLA Extension with a 4.0 GPA as I continue preparing for my goal of attending veterinary school. My education and veterinary experience allow me to provide a higher level of care, from maintaining daily routines and enrichment to supporting pets with medical considerations. I understand that pets are family, and I strive to provide the same level of attention and care that I would want for my own animals. I focus on personalized care, consistent communication, and creating a safe, comfortable experience for your pet while you are away. I would be honored to provide exceptional, reliable care for your companion. Pet care is my full-time focus, so I build my schedule around providing dependable, personalized care for every pet. Alongside pet sitting, I continue my education through UCLA and UCSD Extension as I prepare for veterinary school and volunteer with local veterinary clinics to further expand my experience. My goal is to provide exceptional care, consistent communication, and complete peace of mind while you’re away. I believe every pet deserves care that is tailored to their individual personality and routine. Whether I am caring for your pet in my home or yours, I take the time to learn their schedule, preferences, exercise needs, and any medical or behavioral considerations to help them feel comfortable and secure. I provide personalized attention, enrichment, regular walks, playtime, and detailed photo and video updates so you always know how your pet is doing. My veterinary assistant experience also allows me to recognize subtle changes in behavior or health and provide attentive, knowledgeable care. My goal is to create a calm, safe, and stress-free experience where your pet feels loved and your family has complete peace of mind.
“It’s my very first time looking for a pet sitter because I’m always so anxious about leaving my dogs with people that I don’t know but I can’t thank Stephanie enough for taking care of my puppies! It was a great experience, my dogs had fun, played with other dogs and she was so accommodating to their needs and also to my last minute changes! I was getting daily updates and pictures too! I was comfortable because she has so many years of experience and a lot of good reviews! I can fully recommend her and I would definitely be happy to bring my dogs again! Thank you so much!!!”
“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”
“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! 😃”
“My first time using Rover, and an overnight sitter in general, was with Mindy and I was very happy with how it went. I trust her with my dog and will definitely be booking with her again.”
“Tatiana was absolutely amazing from the very beginning! At our meet and greet, I could instantly tell she was kind, attentive, and genuinely passionate about caring for animals. Throughout Beaux’s stay, she went above and beyond to ensure he felt safe, loved, and engaged. She gave Beaux extra care and attention, really taking the time to understand and respond to his puppy needs. Tatiana kept me updated with frequent messages, photos, and videos which gave me peace of mind and letting me enjoy my time away without worry. What impressed me the most was that she didn’t just care for him, she also helped train him! Beaux came home with new commands under his belt and was noticeably more confident and well-behaved. I’m so grateful we found Tatiana. Beaux absolutely adored her, and we’ll definitely be booking with her again! 🐾 Highly recommended!”

“Jordan did an amazing job doing 10 drop-in visits across 4 days for my dog Gus. Jordan came super prepared at the meet and greet visit and asked a lot of questions to understand Gus’ routine. My dog is part lab/cattle dog and has a bunch of quirks, and she made sure he was well taken care of. Jordan also did a great job when I booked her for a first time walk before my trip so Gus could get familiar with her. Providing picture updates on the walk. She provided great updates in each Rover card. Including photos, videos, and notes from each visit to share how Gus was doing. She even came back to check on him on 4th of July to ensure he was ok during fireworks. It’s my first time using Rover and Gus was in great hands. She made my trip worry-free. Would definitely book her again!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter! Carolyn is kind and reliable, Juan and Lupita absolutely love her, and she always goes above and beyond, taking care of the little extras without ever being asked. She kept us updated with photos and messages, which gave us great peace of mind. We came home to happy, well-cared-for cats and couldn’t be more grateful. We’ll definitely book her again and highly recommend her!”
About: I’ve had two high maintenance sphinx's for 5+ years. Ones very energetic so I’m used to keeping him entertained. The other is very mellow and loves just cuddling. I’ve trained both in using the restroom properly and also taught the energetic one how to play fetch!
“Lynzie was amazing. She was prompt on every check-in. She sent pictures and details of every interaction. We felt like Duke was in great hands. We’ll definitely use her again next time we go out of town!”
About: What sets me apart is the genuine care, patience, and attention I bring to every cat I look after. I have experience caring for cats of different personalities and needs, including raising and caring for a kitten from birth throughout college. I’ve also helped neighbors, friends, and family by providing check-ins, feeding, playtime, and companionship for their cats while they were away. I understand that every cat has their own routine and comfort level. Some cats love attention and play, while others need a little extra patience and time to warm up. I take the time to respect each cat’s personality while making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m also a future nurse, and caring for others is at the heart of who I am. My nursing education and volunteer experiences in hospitals, hospice, and senior care have strengthened my compassion, responsibility, and attention to detail. I bring that same mindset to pet care by being reliable, keeping their space clean, following their routines, and providing the love and companionship they need while you’re away. And I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your cat is in caring and dependable hands!
“Kat was great. She was very detail oriented and on top of everything, very proactive in her approach and extremely professional and timely. She reminded us of several things to think about before our trip and asked smart questions. She did an amazing job of playing with cats and taking photos. We would highly recommend Kat on your next vacation pet drop-ins.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 15 years and am a devoted dog mom myself. I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your pet. I have experience with dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities, including energetic pups, senior dogs, and dogs with sensitive stomachs. I treat every dog like my own, provide plenty of exercise, attention, and affection, and always keep owners updated with photos and messages so they know their pet is happy and well cared for. “As a stay-at-home wife and lifelong dog lover, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide walks, drop-ins, feeding visits, potty breaks, and companionship throughout the day. I’m often available for mid-day visits, last-minute requests, and consistent weekly schedules. My goal is to give pet parents peace of mind by providing reliable care and plenty of attention when they can’t be there. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. I carefully follow all feeding, medication, walking, and care instructions provided by each owner. I treat every pet as if they were my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I also provide regular photo and message updates so you always know how your pet is doing. Whether it’s a walk, drop-in visit, or extended care, you can expect dependable communication and attentive service.
About: I have a balanced approach to cat care that combines careful attention to your instructions with an understanding that every cat has its own personality and routine. I don’t try to change your cat’s habits or become a replacement pet parent. Instead, I provide dependable care, maintain consistency, and engage with each cat in ways that match their comfort level, whether that’s interactive play, quiet companionship, or simply respecting their independence. I’m attentive to behavior changes, maintain clean litter boxes and feeding areas, and prioritize a calm, low-stress environment while you’re away. I am not a fit for cats with the following behaviors: Velcro or high physical touch/contact/proximity Display aggressive behaviors such as hissing, scratching, lunging, and biting Demand constant attention, food, play throughout the day Struggle with being alone for periods of time I do best with cats who are comfortable with a sitter providing attentive care while also respecting their independence and individual routine.
“Alexa was very quick to respond to my booking request and made the process easy and seamless. She followed the instructions I left for my 2 cats and took very good care of them. She even swept the floors and wiped countertops which is so considerate and makes coming home feel even nicer. I have already booked with her for my next trip!”
“Patti is so amazing and so accommodating! She’s makes you feel so at ease with your travel plans to be able to enjoy yourself knowing your loved ones are being well taken care of. I would highly recommend her to anyone! Feel so fortunate to have her and our kitties look forward to her visits!”
“Sydney is fantastic! She clearly cares about animals and took wonderful care of our cats! She even took the time to play with them to help them get comfortable with her and adjust to our absence. Sydeny also went above and beyond checking something for us that we forgot to do before leaving. As a bonus she also sends adorable pictures and videos while you're gone! Highly recommend Sydney!”
About: I grew up with a cat and have loved and looked after friends and families cats while they were away. I used to get called the cat whisperer growing up from cats always approaching me, even non-friendly or skittish cats. I’m committed to respecting your cats boundaries and approaching them in a way they are comfortable with!
About: I’ve had two dogs, 4 cats, and a turtle in my lifetime. I love taking the dogs for walks and going on new adventures. Living in a neighborhood for most of my life, I’ve had various experiences taking care of other peoples pets as well. I’m from the East Coast and am still working East coast hours. This gives me the flexibility to take care of your pets in the early mornings and afternoons as well as weekends! My families dog is walked twice a day (morning and afternoon) and is let out various times throughout the day. The cats are indoor/outdoor and they are fed wet food in the mornings and have dry food at all times. Now that I have moved, I do not currently have pets.
“Becky was great with my kitten Millie! She was professional, followed all instructions, and took extra time to make sure Millie got plenty of love and attention while I was away at work. Highly recommend and will rebook!”

“Shane was awesome. Super pumped to see Rosie everyday and Rosie nearly yanked my arm off running to see him in the morning. I really feel like he treated our dog like his own. He sent updates and photos frequently. I felt very comfortable leaving her each day. He was flexible and helpful at drop off and pick up. We will hope to call on him again when needed.”
“Kyle was incredible with my Coco! I could tell from our meet and greet that our pups would get along great. I am very selective with whom I trust my girl with, so it was nice to meet him in person prior to making final arrangements. Happy to report: he’s great! I was happy to see the photos of Coco’s day, and it was comforting knowing she was in good hands while I had to work to meet all of her demands. Coco was a happy pup and came home ready for bed! So I’d say she had time well spent. Will definitely continue to book with him!”

“Kimberly was awesome! She was very accommodating to my last minute request for a sitter. She sent plenty of photos and updates of my puppy and took her on 3 big walks! I love that she has a fenced yard for my dog to run around in. My pup came home very tired, which is a great indicator that she had a fun day. I will definitely use Kimberly again and would recommend her to anyone!”
“Paige was a life saver! I planned poorly and had to request + book last minute while I had an appointment in Hermosa and she came to our rescue. Watched Callie for a few hours and communicated super well throughout :)”
“I cannot recommend Jinae enough! She took incredible care of Tucker while I was away—truly going above and beyond. I received regular updates, photos, and little notes that gave me complete peace of mind. Tucker clearly felt comfortable and loved, and forgot all about us. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely caring, Jinae is the one. Will absolutely book again!”
“Renee is truly beyond wonderful. Denzel loves spending time with her and her family to the point that he goes nuts with excitement when he realizes he's going to her house for day care. It's basically utopia for dogs.....lots of fresh air, dog friends, fetch and room to run. I always know that he is in the best of hands with Renee and after a day of playtime, he is happy, tired, and especially well behaved (a tired dog is a good dog!). We receive pics and videos during his stays and they confirm what i already know....Denzel is living the dream and having a blast playing his little heart out. I feel lucky to have found such an ideal care taker for my fur baby.”
About: With over 15 years of experience, I provide dependable, personalized care tailored to each pet’s unique personality and routine. Whether your dog loves long beach walks, playful adventures, or quiet companionship, I adapt my care to what makes them feel happiest and most at ease. I intentionally care for one family at a time, allowing me to give every pet my full attention in a calm, low-stress environment. This means no crowded daycare atmosphere—just thoughtful, one-on-one care designed around your pet’s needs. I’m experienced with puppies, seniors, medications, special diets, and pets who simply need a little extra patience and reassurance. You’ll receive regular photo updates, clear communication, and the peace of mind that your pet is being cared for as if they were my own. My goal is simple: for you to enjoy your time away knowing your best friend is safe, comfortable, and genuinely loved. I work with a flexible schedule, allowing me to provide attentive care throughout the day rather than just quick visits. Whether your pet needs frequent potty breaks, medication, exercise, companionship, or a consistent routine, I can tailor my schedule to their needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. For boarding, I welcome one dog (or one family of dogs) at a time so every guest receives personalized attention in a calm home environment. I carefully follow each pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, sleep preferences, and any special instructions. For house sitting, I strive to keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible in the comfort of their own home. I treat every home with the same care and respect I would expect for my own and keep you updated with photos and messages throughout your trip.
About: Animals tend to warm up to me quick so we'll be on our merry way with walks, treats and play time :) I usually have a few treats on hand if I know I'll be seeing them often (My dog enjoys hers as soon as I walk in the door) and I've got experience with dog sitting a few fellow friend's like Shih Tzus, Chihuahuas, Lhasa Apso, Schnauzers and even a Chow Chow (She was lazy, so it was a piece of cake! lol) I work in Commercial Real Estate at a Tech company in the day and enjoy taking time out to unwind by staying active with my own dog. I can't wait to meet yours! Please let me know if there are any special needs.
“Five stars—no hesitation. Christy adores dogs, especially golden retrievers. We left our golden pup, Honey, with her for one day while we hit Disneyland. When we returned Honey had several new BFFs: Christy and her canine savvy family, with couch-snuggle photos as proof; and Phoebe (Christy’s own golden retriever). Christy’s day plan nailed all Honey's need—timed meals and potty breaks along with the perfect play–nap balance. Christy sent updates and snapshots, so we stayed relaxed and guilt free at the park. I had zero pet-parent stress. When I picked up Honey she trotted out tail-wagging, paws dragging, slightly heavier (treats happen!) and blissfully wiped out. We all slept like babies after our day at Disneyland, including the dog. Safe arms, golden fluency, endless love—Christy is our go-to sitter. Book Christy—your retriever will thank you!”
“Great communication, pleasure working with. Cooper was well taken care of and I'm sure he had a blast, was so tired by the time I picked him up he took a nap on the ride back. Hope to use Maddie's services again in the future when in town.”
“We were so lucky to find Samantha on Rover. Our 90lb puppy had minor stitches so during the day we needed someone to watch him to make sure he didn’t mess with his injury. We got way more than that - Duke was walked, watched and spoiled. He came home tired 🙏 and happy. Highly recommend”
About: Hi! I’m Natalie 👋 I work from home and would love some four-legged company during the day!

Because I work remotely on Monday, Thursday, and Friday, your pup won’t be left alone for long stretches. They’ll get plenty of attention, potty breaks, playtime, and of course lots of pets and reassurance.

About: I grew up always having a family dog (we especially loved big golden retrievers) and have been pet sitting/walking since I was a kid. I have experience with dogs of all breeds, ages, needs and sizes. I also have experience with puppy training, and 2 of my dogs at home are trained therapy dogs. I love animals and taking care of them brings me so much joy. I’m available for evening care and walks on weekdays starting at 5:30 PM, plus full availability on weekends. I love spending quality time with dogs and make sure they get lots of attention, exercise, potty breaks, and affection while they’re with me. I’m also happy to include trips to the dog park for extra fun and social time! Your pet’s comfort and safety are my top priorities. I’m happy to board dogs overnight and recommend bringing their bed, food, toys, and any other necessities so they feel at home and stay on their usual routine. I provide lots of love, attention, walks, potty breaks, and playtime while they’re in my care. When staying in a client’s home, I’m respectful, communicative, and happy to go over household expectations and your pet’s specific needs beforehand to make sure everything goes smoothly.

About: Hi! I’m Kadi, warm, patient, and genuinely love connecting with animals. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pet like family (and keep you updated every step of the way), you’re in the right place. I’ve spent my entire life around animals, 36+ years growing up with cats, dogs, bunnies, hamsters, and fish, and later fostering kittens as an adult. I currently have a 14-year-old senior kitty, Bijou, who is my absolute love. I recently said goodbye to another beloved senior cat, so I deeply understand how much love, attention, and thoughtful care pets need, especially as they get older. Because I’m not in a place to bring another pet into my home full-time, pet sitting allows me to do what I love most: care for animals while supporting other pet parents. I specialize in in-home visits, so your pet can stay comfortable in their own space and routine. I’m experienced with: -Senior pets and their unique needs -Administering medications (including injections and transdermal gels) -Kittens and multi-pet households -Shy or slower-to-warm animals My approach is calm, intuitive, and respectful. I let pets come to me at their own pace and always prefer to meet with you and your pet beforehand so we can build trust together. You can expect: -Thoughtful, attentive care tailored to your pet -Clear communication -Lots of photo and video updates (because as a pet parent, this is the thing I appreciate the most when I’m away from my girl!) -I’m organized, reliable, and able to juggle a lot, so you can feel confident your pet and your home are in good hands. I’d love to meet you and your pet 🤍 I’m currently building my own business from home and have a lot of flexibility during the day and evenings to take care of your pets! I am happy to come to your home to check in on your pets, go for walks, and or feed and play with them! Whatever works best for your pet. At this time, I do not offer boarding them at my place.
“Can’t recommend Stephanie enough. She’s so kind to my pup and she loves her a ton. She’s always on time and came to my rescue when another walker cancelled last minute.”
“Josephine is excellent! She’s very good with my dog a small spaniel mix who’s nervous. Josephine herself is prompt and keeps me completely informed of what’s going on. I am so fortunate to have found her.”
About: I’ve been the one to take care of family friends pets for years and years. I always get recommended and happy to come back. All types and sizes of pets I’ve dealt with and are very comfortable with. I’m a currently unemployed and searching for full time work so I'm available all day every day (mostly) for the time being. Located close to Hermosa Beach strand and greenbelt so able and excited to provide long walks. I have taken care of pets in apartments, houses, yard/no yard, and I have always been trustworthy to take care of the pet and the home with attention.
“Kathy is wonderful! She came by to make sure she knew where the dogs’ leashes were and to make sure our dogs were comfy walking with her. She shared updates each time she walked them and really put our minds at ease 🥰 You could tell that she really cares a lot about the health and safety of our little guys! Thank you so much!”
About: I’ve been obsessed with cats since I was 5. I have 2 of my own and I would love to get more but their big brother who was a Great Dane died recently and they are (including me) are still grieving him. I don’t want to disrupt the house hold by adding more animals to the house so I thought I’d help other peoples kitties so I can my “fix”! I WFH full-time so if you need an afternoon dog walker- I’m available! I usually take an afternoon walk during my lunch break anyways- so I thought: maybe someone will let me walk their dog, too?! I walked my 130lbs Dane when he was still with me. And I’m comfortable with all breed sizes. I WFH full time and I have a flexible schedule so I have the time to take care of your cats and kittens. I also have reliable transportation. I am very respectful of peoples property and I will always treat your pets like my own. If you have specific needs, I can follow directions to a “T.”
About: What sets me apart is the genuine care and attention I give every pet. As a pet owner and experienced sitter, I’ve cared for dogs through walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting for friends and family. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, from tiny teacup Yorkies to large Dobermans, and I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and comfort level. I’m also a future nurse, so caring for others is at the heart of who I am. My nursing education, combined with volunteer experience in hospitals, hospice, and as a caregiver, has taught me patience, compassion, reliability, and close attention to detail. I bring that same mindset to every pet I care for, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing with company, I’ll tailor my care to their needs and keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in caring hands! Pet care fits well into my daily routine because I’m currently a nursing student with a flexible schedule and multiple days available throughout the week. I am able to dedicate plenty of time and attention to each pet and provide reliable, consistent care. I’m available most mornings and after 5 PM on weekdays, with full day availability on Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays. On Wednesdays, I’m fully available after 12 PM. My flexible schedule allows me to work around your pet’s routine and provide walks, check-ins, playtime, feeding, and companionship while you’re away. When I care for pets in my client’s home, I focus on keeping them comfortable and sticking to their normal routine. I know pets feel most secure in their own environment, so I make sure to follow their usual feeding schedule, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions from their owner. I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality and what makes them feel comfortable. Some pets love attention and play, while others need more patience and space to warm up. I’m happy to provide whatever care they need, whether that’s walks, cuddles, feeding, cleaning litter boxes, or simply keeping them company while their owners are away. My goal is for every pet to feel safe, loved, and well cared for!
About: I specialize in caring for calm, well-trained, highly independent pets while maintaining a clean, organized, and well-cared-for home. My goal is to follow your pet’s established routine and provide consistent, dependable care while you’re away. I’m a great fit for households with pets that are well-mannered, comfortable with their routines, and able to settle independently. I focus on maintaining the environment your pets are already familiar with, ensuring they remain safe, comfortable, and cared for throughout your absence. As a full-time traveling house sitter that has cared for 25+ homes, pet care is a central part of my daily routine. I intentionally schedule my days around each pet’s established feeding, exercise, play, and care routines while maintaining the home as if it were my own. Because this is my full time focus, I’m able to provide consistent attention, adapt to each household’s preferences, and ensure pets receive dependable care throughout my stay. House and pet sitting gives me the ability to experience new environments while maintaining structure and consistency in my daily life. I genuinely enjoy the companionship and presence of pets in the home. I like learning their personalities, how different animals and breeds interact with their environment, and what helps them feel comfortable and at ease. I also enjoy play, interaction, and building a calm, steady presence with them during a sit. I provide structured, routine based care including feeding, walking, playtime, enrichment, and oral medication when it can be given with ease and cooperation. I value calm, stable home environments with clear instructions and consistent routines. I do best in well maintained, organized homes that are clutter free, odor free, clean, and with minimal excess pet hair buildup. I also appreciate the use of air purifiers when available. While I work remotely and am primarily at home, my work includes focused independent periods, and I check in on pets throughout the day as part of their routine care. A video call (Zoom or Google Meet) is required prior to confirming a sit to ensure a mutual fit for both home and pet care expectations. I appreciate homeowners who are familiar with my profile and come prepared with any questions as well. I am not a fit for: • Highly Velcro pets requiring constant proximity or attention • Aggressive behavior toward humans or other animals • Physical force based handling, training, or behavior modification responsibilities • Daily intensive mess cleanup or unmanaged accidents • Co-sleeping (pets must sleep independently in their own space outside the bedroom) • Frequent last minute changes, unclear schedules, or unstable routines I value clear communication, respectful, hospitable, and well structured sits.
About: I’ve had dogs of all sizes and energy ranges since I was 6. With 20 years of experience walking, running, playing, and training my dogs I’m happy to pass along my dog walking and care skills to new furry friends. I just moved down to South Bay and am looking for a full-time job. Excited to use my free-time to walk doggies and get to know the area better! Im happy to walk, play and watch your dog at or near your home. Currently in a rental so would prefer to watch animals outside of my current apartment.
“10/10 recommend Kristin for dog walking services in the South Bay area! I first met Kristin 6 months ago and she has become my dog (Koda’s) auntie. Kristin consistently walks Koda for me twice a week on Tuesday’s and Thursday’s. Kristen is reliable, trustworthy, and very communicative to me with photos and videos while she’s walking Koda. I trust Kristin with a key to my home and my dog in public. Kristin is a 100% dog lover and has helped train Koda from her puppy stage development to obedience. Thank you so much Kristin! You’re awesome!”
“Devon was available to walk Charlie on short notice, and we are so grateful for the help! She asked good questions in advance, arrived right on time, and sent a few photos. We look forward to working with her again!”
“Marevie was a great dog walker . I was busy with things around my house and Marevie came over and took my dog for a nice walk . She was on time and professional. I would recommend her to friends.”
About: I’ve taken care of multiple dogs from working dogs to stay at home dogs. 1 LAPD working dog being an aggressive German Shepard, another LAPD working dog an energetic German Shorthair. As well as a handful of smaller energetic dogs and lapdogs. I fully ensure that I can handle all different dogs and their personalities. ☺️ I’m currently working part time but I still have plenty of gaps in my schedule that I’d like to fill. I like to maintain busy so caring for animals seems like a fun choice 🤗. I live in a big neighborhood that has plenty of space for walking and playtime. I’ve also have a car and could easily take your pet to a nearby park suitable for dogs. I also fully am able to care for a pet inside a clients home as I have house-sat before.
“Renee is awesome! We left her detailed instructions and she followed them perfectly. Our Cookie is a senior dog who requires patience during walks and Renee couldn't have been better with her. Highly recommend!”
About: With 9 years of experience as a dog dad, I bring genuine love and understanding to every pup I care for. I know how to read a dog’s mood, keep them comfortable, and make them feel right at home. As an outdoor athlete who lives for staying active outside, your dog will always get an energetic, engaging walk that goes beyond just going through the motions. I treat every dog like my own. I currently work remote and have plenty of time for your pup! My flexibility allows me to accommodate any needs your dog has and make sure they are always in a safe and comfortable environment. I always put your dog’s need first. If coming into your home, I can do whatever your pet needs including feeding, playing, or taking them outside for a bathroom break. As a dog walker, I will adjust to your dogs pace. If you have a high energy dog, I am an endurance athlete and I can take them for a midday run to let out all their energy. If they are a senior dog or smaller breed, I am happy to take things slow and allow them to explore all the smells!
About: Ive had cats and dogs at the same time ever since I was little. I have also house sat, trained, and fostered dogs and puppies before. I have 2 jobs, one is very flexible in the mornings as it's on the beach. The second is a waitressing job in the late afternoons. I would love snuggles, play time, and runs on the beach with ur dogs! I will uphold your rules in both mine and your home.
About: My approach with any animal is to use positive reinforcement and a lot of patience. I grew up with dogs, cats and various other animals. I was heavily into 4-H and adopted a wild burro, raised pigs and joined the dog training group with my shelter dog, a German Shepard Samoyed mix. Currently, we have two rescue dogs. Whenever we host our neighbor's dog, all the dogs have a blast and act like they are having a sleepover. In addition to caring for dogs, I also have experience with a diabetic cat that required two daily shots. My husband and I work from home so there is always someone around. We take the dogs out for frequent potty breaks throughout the day. We also live near Valley Park and the green belt which are perfect for longer walks. In addition to my husband, I have two teenage sons who will also be here to play with your pup. We currently have two welcoming adopted dogs, Koko, who is the older wiser pup bringing calm energy, and Mango, who very lovable and wants to be friends with every human and dog. At our condo, the dogs have access to two decks in the back, perfect for quiet naps in the sun, and one deck in the front overlooking all the action that passes by on the street. If your pup likes to play tug-of-war, Mango will happily play and share her toys.
“Tiffany has been so great with our anxious dog on their weekly walks. She’s always so patient with her and takes notice on what her mood is like to adapt the walk to suit her needs. I’m so happy to have found Tiffany and recommend her to everyone!”

“Michelle was an amazing pet sitter. This was my first time leaving my puppy with someone other then family and I could not be happier with my choice of leaving him in Michelle's capable hands. She treated my dog as if he was a member of her family. She gave my dog lots of love and attention and ensure he got lots of walks which he loved. Snoopy broke a nail the day before I had to leave and Michelle graciously help take care of him e-collar and all. She provided his medication and followed all his care instructions. Michelle also allowed my puppy to sleep with her which was very comforting for my puppy who is used to sleeping with me. Michelle kids were also great with Snoopy (my dog) and I could tell in all the wonderful video updates that he was very happy. I definitely missed my puppy more then I thought and Michelle happily provided me additional videos and pictures which made my family's and my day seeing him so happy and well taken care of. Michelle is more then just a pet sitter, she genuinely loves dogs and goes the extra mile to make sure the dogs in her care feel comfortable and happy. Will absolutely book her again.”
“Shane was so great with our puppy over a weekend trip. Despite the high energy and rambunctious puppy behavior, Shane made sure our dog had a great time and kept us constantly updated with photos and videos. We look forward to working with Shane again!”
“They took wonderful care of my guy! They sent updates with pictures and I knew he was in good hands! Thanks so much for helping me breathe easy knowing my dog was in good hands while I was away!”
About: I have been devoted to animal care for as long as I can remember. Born in Burlingame, California, I have lived in different parts of the United States, experiences that have shaped my adaptability, compassion, and appreciation for different communities and lifestyles. My journey with animals began at five years old in Macedonia, where I spent my childhood caring for stray cats and dogs and developing a lifelong passion for protecting and advocating for animals. I hold a B.S. in Chemistry and Biology from Middle Tennessee State University and have over 1,000 hours of veterinary assistant experience. My scientific background, combined with hands-on clinical experience, allows me to provide thoughtful, detail-oriented care while recognizing subtle changes in behavior, comfort, and health. I recently completed an upper-level Animal Physiology course through UCLA Extension with a 4.0 GPA as I continue preparing for my goal of attending veterinary school. My education and veterinary experience allow me to provide a higher level of care, from maintaining daily routines and enrichment to supporting pets with medical considerations. I understand that pets are family, and I strive to provide the same level of attention and care that I would want for my own animals. I focus on personalized care, consistent communication, and creating a safe, comfortable experience for your pet while you are away. I would be honored to provide exceptional, reliable care for your companion. Pet care is my full-time focus, so I build my schedule around providing dependable, personalized care for every pet. Alongside pet sitting, I continue my education through UCLA and UCSD Extension as I prepare for veterinary school and volunteer with local veterinary clinics to further expand my experience. My goal is to provide exceptional care, consistent communication, and complete peace of mind while you’re away. I believe every pet deserves care that is tailored to their individual personality and routine. Whether I am caring for your pet in my home or yours, I take the time to learn their schedule, preferences, exercise needs, and any medical or behavioral considerations to help them feel comfortable and secure. I provide personalized attention, enrichment, regular walks, playtime, and detailed photo and video updates so you always know how your pet is doing. My veterinary assistant experience also allows me to recognize subtle changes in behavior or health and provide attentive, knowledgeable care. My goal is to create a calm, safe, and stress-free experience where your pet feels loved and your family has complete peace of mind.
“It’s my very first time looking for a pet sitter because I’m always so anxious about leaving my dogs with people that I don’t know but I can’t thank Stephanie enough for taking care of my puppies! It was a great experience, my dogs had fun, played with other dogs and she was so accommodating to their needs and also to my last minute changes! I was getting daily updates and pictures too! I was comfortable because she has so many years of experience and a lot of good reviews! I can fully recommend her and I would definitely be happy to bring my dogs again! Thank you so much!!!”
“My first time using Rover, and an overnight sitter in general, was with Mindy and I was very happy with how it went. I trust her with my dog and will definitely be booking with her again.”
“Stephanie was amazing with our furbaby Rambo! He stayed over for 3 weeks and all the vidoes and photos showed us how comfortable and at home he felt! I am so happy we found Stephanie and will be using her services again! Thank you so much. He really enjoyed his time with Bailey too 😊”
“Thank you Bethany for taking such good care of Zuzu while we were in New York! It is heartwarming to know that she was able to be loved and cared for by you and your family. We appreciate you and the photos that you sent while we were away. I’m sure she will be happy to come back and stay with you while we are in Atlanta. Thanks again!!!”
“Gina was really wonderful with our little Coco who loves to be the center of attention. Gina had great communication us and gave us regular updates about Coco. Her home is an oasis for our little guy who wants to be the center of attention and has separation anxiety. We hope he can stay with her again because it's his little vacation while we are away.”
“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!”
About: I grew up on a small family farm in Ohio for the first 18 years of my life so proper pet care has always been incredibly important. Growing up with herding dogs and German Shepards has taught me how to train and enjoy some high energy breeds as well. !I love to go outside and go on long walks during the morning and evening daily. So adding a furry friend makes it even more fun! I am very careful to ensure all locked doors and security systems are put back into place before leaving. Any small messes or accidents made in your home would be documented and cleaned up per your instructions!
“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.”
“Marilyn took such good care of our pups! She sent pics and video, and they had a blast. (Even our cranky older dog haha) We were gone for 2 weeks and knew they’d be in good hands from the moment we did our meet and greet. Will definitely be bringing them back next time we need a sitter.”
“We have booked Shay a few times now to watch Buddy. Each time he exceeds our expectations. He sends updates & pictures throughout the day which we really appreciate. We know that Buddy is always well take care of when he stays with Shay.”
About: I’ve been officially pet sitting consistently since 2024 and have built my client base through word-of-mouth referrals and repeat bookings. I grew up with dogs but through petsitting, have experience caring for dogs, cats, birds, tortoises, betta fish, shrimp, and chameleons. Most of my experience is with overnight stays ranging from weekend trips to 1–2 week vacations. I’m detail-oriented, adaptable, and take pride in following care instructions closely while keeping owners updated with photos and messages throughout their trip. As a powerlifter and active person, I’m comfortable with both short and long walks and can keep up with high-energy & strong dogs. I work in-office during weekdays but am available mornings, evenings, overnights, and am fully flexible on weekends. My goal is simple: to make sure your pets feel safe and comfortable while giving you peace of mind when you’re away. I work in an office Monday through Friday, so I'm most flexible on weekends. For pets that are comfortable being home during the workday, I'm available for feeding, bathroom, and walks before work, in the evenings, overnight, and throughout the weekend. I am detail-oriented, adaptable, and take pride in following care instructions closely so pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I’m flexible to either board your pet in my home, stay at your home whether for drop in visits or overnight stays, whatever you and your pet feel works best for their comfort. Prior to the stay, (my home or yours), we will go over your pet’s routine and your expectations to make sure this is a good fit before moving forward.
