“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!”
“Kimberlee was beyond amazing! This was my first experience with a Rover sitter and she really went above and beyond. My foster puppy Bubs is super high energy but Kim took it in stride. He came back so happy and tired, and I think better behaved than when I left. She picked him up and dropped him off because we live very close, which was so so helpful because he has a large crate, and while we we gone she even helped network him a ton to help find an adopter. Bubs had the best time, and I would trust Kim with any animal I ever have in the future! Thank you!”
“Kyle was amazing with our puppy Lofi!!!!!! I cannot overstate how well he took care of her. She was so happy to be there. We got frequent pictures (all of which we saved because duh!!) and she got great socialization opportunities as an 8 month old. We have utmost trust in Kyle and will be coming back whenever we can’t bring our little loaf with us. We are so impressed and thankful we met you!”
“This was my first time using Rover. Jenny and family took good care of our doggie. I enjoyed getting pictures of him to see how he was doing. I will definitely be using her again. This was a great first experience.”
“This is my 2nd booking. My dog absolutely loves and gets excited when he see’s Shardae. I have found his forever sitter. He is well taken care of and happy when he comes home! I appreciate you!”
“Michelle is absolutely incredible! She watched my dog, Daisy, for 16 nights in her home, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Leaving your pup for over two weeks can be stressful, but Michelle sent frequent updates that put my mind completely at ease. It was so incredibly sweet to see the bond that Daisy formed--she was truly treated like a member of the family. Michelle is professional, deeply caring, and highly communicative. I will absolutely be booking with her again!”
“DeAnn took care of Abby my 10 yr old poodle mix for a week. She was so attentive and provided daily updates with pics and videos of her. She is so kind and loving towards my dog that I had no reservations in her taking care of Abby. Even before dropping her off for boarding, DeAnn met with us a week before just to make sure we were comfortable using her. We are so glad we found DeAnn and will definitely use her again for future boarding.”
“Shane couldn't have been better with my chocolate lab. Shane played with him, took him to the beach, and clearly welcomed my pup into his home. Shane was also really sweet in offering to pick up and drop off my dog. He was also attentive to the fact that my dog had a limp and was careful not to make it worse. Shane was very communicative and sent a ton of photos and videos. I would gladly leave my dog with him again. Highly recommend!”
“Angela is wonderful with our pets. We call her The Dog Whisperer. 😃 She's amazing with our Toffee Doggie and with the drop ins for our kitties. If you want your pet to be loved while you're away look no further. She's the absolute best! Reggie”
“Words cannot properly describe how awesome Lori is. My dog is young and has many personality and behavioral challenges. Lori cared for her for 60 hours straight. She is patient. She walked the dog even in the rainy weather. She taught my dog new habits and games. She stayed positive even though my dog wasn’t on her best behavior. My dog was thoroughly loved by Lori and her whole family despite the behavioral challenges. I am so very grateful for Lori. Thank you!”
“Andrew & Jessica were great. I received pictures of Casey. Casey needs a little extra because she won't poop while on leash. Andrew was able to get her to relieve herself by day two. They really went the extra mile to accommodate Casey's needs, which was greatly appreciated because I'm a worrier and Casey appeared to be in confident hands. I rarely ever leave Casey behind. Andrew & Jess made the experience seamless. Thanks again! Stacy & Casey”
“Gina was a wonderful caregiver to my almost 14 yr old Boston terrier for the weekend while I was away moving. She was able to take Lena on short notice which I’m very grateful to her for. My dog really enjoyed her stay!”
“Kim is an absolute gem! 🐾❤️ She went above and beyond every expectation, and we could not have felt more comfortable leaving our pup in her care. Honestly, when we picked him up, he looked a little sad to leave; which says EVERYTHING! 😂 He made such great friends and had the best time. Kim is truly an expert with multiple dogs. Between the endless walks, playtime, and her incredible ability to keep all the pups happy and cared for, our dog came home happily exhausted. We also loved getting regular pictures and updates throughout his stay; it gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was having a great time. We will hands-down be bringing our pup back to Kim every time. She is truly a rare find and such a gift to both dogs and their humans. I cannot recommend her enough…although part of me is terrified that everyone will discover how amazing she is and she’ll be booked forever! 😂🐶💕”
“Stephanie was great! She sent several photo updates throughout Luka’s stay, which I really appreciated. Luka had a great time, and I felt he was well taken care of. I would definitely book with her again!”
“It was our first time leaving our puppy since we got him, and Noreen made the experience so much better than we ever expected. She kept us constantly updated and we could definitely tell our baby Rio was happy, loved, and well taken care of during his stay. Thank you so much, Noreen and family!!!”
“I can’t thank Taylor enough for her time and energy she put into taking care of Tyson! She took her time to meet up before my trip and make sure Tyson and her dog were a good fit! She was extremely thorough and prompt with her responses as well. She kept me updated all weekend with pictures, as well! She gave Tyson lots of attention and walks through out his stay. It is nice to know there is someone close by that can take care of Tyson, who is also also very responsive when I go on a trip. I highly recommend Taylor!”
“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!”

“This is the second time Carolyn has taken care of our cats and she’s the best! She is always on time, sends thorough updates and plenty of photos! My cats feel at ease with her, enjoy her company and it gives me peace of mind that they are well taken care of. I highly recommend Carolyn.”
About: I recently lost my beloved dog, Gunnie, after 15 wonderful years together. Growing up with him and many other animals, caring for pets has always come naturally to me. It’s something I genuinely love. Over the years, I’ve been a trusted pet sitter and dog walker in my neighborhood, watching over more than 50 dogs, and I treat every pet as if they were my own, because I know they’re not just pets, but family. I’m new to the American Fork area and would love to connect with fellow pet parents here. If you’re ever interested in having me care for your pet, I’m always happy to meet beforehand to make sure you and your furry friend feel comfortable. I also love keeping you updated, whether that’s sending frequent photo updates, or hopping on a FaceTime call if you ever want to check in on your pup while you’re away. I’d be honored to care for your pets like they were part of my own family. I go on 5-mile walks every day and love having animals around, so I’m happy to provide any extra activity or training they might need. Just a heads-up: I’m in school Monday through Thursday, so I’ll be gone about 6–8 hours during the day. I’m still happy to house sit if that schedule works for you! I allow animals on couches and on beds (in my own home if preferred). I allow pets to walk around my home I will not crate animals while home and will always follow parents guidelines. I send not only update texts but photos of animals as well! I base all pet care on how you as the owner go day by day with the pet and how you would like me to take care of them.
“Samantha was great with our cat Logan. She was very communicative, provided timely updates and daily photos. Plus our shy cat quickly warmed up to her! Reliable and friendly. We will definitely work with her again.”
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!
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!
“Kat went above and beyond for us! She was able to take care of our 2 cats while we were gone and we have nothing but good things to say. Very responsive, followed all instructions, sent us pictures, and just overall very kind! Highly recommend”
“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!”
About: Pet care is already built into my everyday life. Three times a week I walk two 60-lb puppy Rhodesian Ridgebacks that I’ve successfully trained to walk calmly side by side. Every day I also take my own Black Mouth Cur on social outings to the dog park or dog beaches at Rosie’s Beach and Huntington Beach — over the last two years I’ve successfully socialized him to stop being aggressive. Mornings and late afternoons are set aside for client walks and drop-ins, while evenings and weekends open easily for longer visits or overnights. Because this is my regular rhythm, your pets receive consistent, focused attention every time. Pet care is fully integrated into my daily and weekly schedule. I maintain open availability throughout the week for walking both small and large dogs, with consistent morning and evening time slots reserved for clients. This structured yet flexible routine allows me to provide reliable, focused care without conflict. How do you care for pets in your home or your client’s home for the different services you offer? I provide care both in my home and in the client’s home, depending on the service requested. For walks and drop-in visits, I come to the client’s home and follow their exact routines, house rules, and any special instructions. For boarding or extended stays, pets are welcomed into my clean, calm, and fully pet-friendly home environment, where they receive individual attention tailored to their size, age, and needs. In both settings, I prioritize safety, clear communication, and consistent care so every pet feels comfortable and every client feels confident.
“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!”
“Maya is incredible. She sent daily updates and took very good care of Coco. Coco had not been feeling well so we were worried to leave her; but she was taken care of and given lots of love while we were gone. I will definitely book Maya in the future.”
“Sydney was awesome with our 7-month-old kitten for twice daily hour-long visits while we were away for a few days! We had a nice meet and greet before booking and felt very comfortable leaving our cat in her care. She is very communicative and easy to connect with, she shared great updates with every visit and lots of great pictures and videos of our cat playing ☺️ We’d highly recommend her for catsitting!!!”
“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!”
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.

Prices are estimates per day for 1 dog. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
About: I’ve been playing with pups since I was born, I have experience with a wide range of dogs of all different backgrounds, sizes and personalities. Im the go-to neighborhood babysitter as I get along with every dog I’ve met, regardless of their needs, age and unique attitudes from shy to sassy, mischievous, rambunctious and everything in between. I’m laid back and have no problem with untrained, high maintenance and/or dogs that aren’t potty trained. I currently have a very flexible schedule and am willing to work with the owners needs, just let me know and we can work something out. I have a large wrap around balcony and keep gates on both sides of it, I’m near the ocean on the 2nd floor so I like to keep my apartment door open (if the client is comfortable) so that we can both freely go in and out of the apartment on to the balcony for fresh air and people watching. I currently do not have any pets at home
“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.”
“Andrew was great with my Harlee girl! He provided lots of updates and took great care of her. And he was available to help out when someone else cancelled on me last minute. Would definitely book him again!”
“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!”
“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: 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.
“Kyle was wonderful from start to finish! He took his time to speak to us about his past experiences and how he sets up his home to properly care for the dogs Kyle was prompt at every pick up in the mornings and set us several photos during Kona’s stay with him. Thank you, Kyle!!”
“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 :)”
“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: I only take one family’s dog (or dogs) at a time — never a mixed group, never a crowded house. That’s a deliberate choice, not a limitation: it means your pet gets my full attention the entire visit or stay, in a calm, low-stress environment instead of competing for space and attention with other people’s animals. It’s why my rates run higher than sitters who take multiple families at once — you’re booking exclusive care, not a spot in a group. Whether your dog loves long beach walks, playful adventures, or quiet companionship, I adapt to what actually makes them comfortable — not a one-size-fits-all routine. I’m experienced with puppies, seniors, medications, special diets, and pets who need extra patience. You’ll get regular photo updates and clear communication throughout. My goal is simple: you enjoy your time away knowing your best friend is safe, comfortable, and genuinely loved — with no one else’s pet in the picture. My flexible schedule lets me provide attentive care throughout the day, not just quick in-and-out visits. Whether your pet needs frequent potty breaks, medication, exercise, companionship, or a consistent routine, I tailor my availability to fit their needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. For boarding, I welcome one dog — or one family’s dogs — at a time, so every guest gets personalized attention in a calm, uncrowded home environment. I closely follow each pet’s normal routine: feeding schedules, medications, exercise, sleep preferences, and any special instructions you provide. For house sitting, I 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’d want for my own, and I keep you updated with photos and messages throughout your trip.
“I wish I knew beforehand how many dogs there were, how the interactions were typically handled, etc. I didn’t know much about what they did either, not even their schedule. But at the end it was all pretty good, turned out all 8 or 9 dogs got along, and that my Chouquette came back home with a big smile.”
“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!”
“Lara is amazing!! She took our puppy for the afternoon and evening…and took such good care of her. She gave her a bath, clipped her nails, took her out to the parks and let her rest peacefully at home. She was such a great care taker and I loved getting pictures throughout the day of my happy puppy! Highly recommend 👍”
About: I’ve been lucky enough to grow up with dogs my whole life. Whether it’s being around my own or asking my neighbors if I can walk theirs, I can’t get enough of them. I know how important dogs are to their owners, but I also know that life can get in the way and we can’t always give them the undivided attention they deserve. That’s why I’m here to help! I currently work a job that allows me to be pretty flexible with the hours I can care for your dog. While sometimes things come up, I can usually be accommodating to your schedule! I’m very clean and intend to leave every home better than I found it. Just like we aim to live in a safe environment, our dogs deserve the same.
“Jinae had great communication and was flexible enough with some last minute scheduling changes! She also sent lots of pics and videos during the day showing our dog having a great time!”
“Absolutely amazing. She was so good with my husky girl. Nala was exhausted when I picked her up. Which is rare for a husky haha. Will be booking again weekly if possible”
About: I work from home full time, so any dog who stays with us gets real company all day long, not just a quick hello before someone rushes out the door. My own dog, Zeca, a four-year-old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, is basically my co-sitter. He's friendly, easygoing, and genuinely loves other dogs, so new guests usually relax within the first hour because he shows them around. We live in North Redondo close to the beach and have a good-sized backyard, so there's plenty of space to run, dig, sunbathe, or just wander around without ever feeling cooped up. I'll be upfront: I'm not a certified trainer, and I'm not going to pretend otherwise. What I do have is years of hands-on experience as a dog owner, the kind that teaches you to read a dog's mood, know when they want space versus attention, and tell the difference between excited and anxious. That's the experience I bring to every dog I host, and I treat each one the way I'd want someone to treat Zeca. Because I work from home, pet care isn't squeezed into a lunch break, it's part of the whole day. Mornings start with a walk, around the neighborhood or nearby park, followed by breakfast and some backyard time while I work nearby. There's usually a midday break for play or another walk, and evenings wind down slow, either on the couch or out in the yard before bed. Dogs in my care are never left alone for long stretches. I'm home, and I'm checking in constantly, not just during scheduled visits. For both boarding and day care, dogs stay right here with us. Not in a kennel, not crated all day. They get the run of the backyard, a comfortable spot indoors, fresh water always available, and meals kept on whatever schedule matches their normal routine at home. I ask for those specifics upfront so nothing feels disruptive. Zeca is around for company and play if a guest is social, and just as happy to give a quiet dog some one-on-one time instead if that's what they need. I send photo updates throughout the stay so you can see exactly how your dog's day is going, and any instructions you give me on feeding, meds, or routine are treated as non-negotiable, not suggestions.

“Cannot recommend Jordan enough! She was so responsive to a last-minute request and reschedule, which made the booking process easy. She also was great to Alfie and so considerate of his love for squirrels on walks + making sure he had plenty of water before she left. Thank you, Jordan!!!”
“Thanks so much all your kindness amazing care time with Roscoe while I’m out of town too and your extra attention for him and meds and walks feeds he’s so happy to have you Making our trip so easy”
About: I grew up with two dogs, 4 cats, and pet sat for neighbors and friends. I currently have a cat who doesn't like other animals, so I would be more than happy to spend time with your animals! I am very active and love being outside, so walks with your pets would be lovely! I'm currently available all day on Sunday, Monday, Friday, and Saturday. I have class on Wednesdays and Thursdays in the morning, but could fit in some afternoon sessions! I take dogs on walks, brush pets, feed pets as instructed by the owner, play with animals, pick up waste, take pets outside as instructed, and put pets in kennels if needed.

About: I’m a proud dog mom to my 80-pound Husky, Harley, so I understand firsthand how important it is to have someone you can genuinely trust with your pup. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, from little pups to larger breeds, and I’m confident handling bigger, stronger dogs as long as we’re a good fit for one another. I love being outdoors and going on walks, and I’m attentive to each dog’s individual personality, energy level and needs. I’m happy to follow your pup’s usual walking routine, commands and preferences to help them feel as comfortable as possible while they’re with me. Most importantly, I’ll treat your pup with the same patience, care and attention I would want someone to give my own. Pet care fits perfectly into my schedule because I already enjoy using my free time to get outdoors and go for walks! I have flexible availability every other Monday, and I’m generally available Tuesdays and Wednesdays after 4:30 PM, Thursdays and Fridays in the evenings, and early mornings on Saturdays and Sundays. My availability may occasionally vary or allow for additional times, so please feel free to send me a request and I’ll be happy to let you know if I’m available. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my priority. Before caring for your pup, I’d love to learn about their normal routine, temperament, commands, walking habits and anything I should be aware of, such as triggers or reactivity around other dogs or people. During walks, I’ll keep your pup safely leashed and pay close attention to our surroundings. For drop-in visits, I’ll respect your home and follow the care instructions you provide. I’m also happy to send pictures and updates so you can feel comfortable knowing your pup is safe, happy and well cared for while you’re away.
About: I am known for my passion for taking care of dogs. For me, to know a canine is to love a canine. I have experience taking care of dogs who want to play for hours as well as couch potatoes. I also have experience caring for senior dogs with health issues. The great news is that Monday through Friday my schedule is flexible from mid-morning on, so I have plenty of time to focus on your dog. On the weekends I am available some afternoons and evenings. I have a small fenced in yard. We are a couple blocks from the park and from the strand, so plenty of options. I have a big wooden kennel that works for most dogs if they want quiet time.
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.
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: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life! I have two dogs and a cat back home in Colorado, so being around animals has always been a huge part of my life. I know how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets, and I’ll always treat yours like they’re my own. Whether it’s going for walks, playing, giving lots of love and attention, or just keeping them company, I genuinely love spending time with animals. I’m responsible, attentive, and more than happy to send plenty of pictures and updates so you know your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away! :) I currently have a very flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time to give your pets the attention and care they deserve! I’m available throughout the week and on weekends for walks, drop-ins, playtime, and lots of quality time. My schedule allows me to be flexible with different routines and needs, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal schedule as much as possible. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, so I’ll always treat both your pet and your home with the same care and respect I would my own. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual routine, personality, and needs, and will closely follow any instructions you leave for feeding, walks, medications, or anything else that keeps them happy and comfortable. I’m also happy to send plenty of pictures and updates so you can feel at ease while you’re away! :)
“Joanne was amazing! She was able to help us out last minute when our other walkers weren't available. She was thoughtful and took careful notes so she wouldn't miss any details. While we were away, she took great care of our little guy and sent us regular messages to keep us updated. We look forward to using Joanne again in the future. Thank you!”
“Kathy was a great help to us and our furry girls while we were away. She kept us informed and sent us pictures daily. Thank you for being such a dependable resource to us while we were away from our girls. We will definitely use Kathy's help and services again.”
About: Not only am I an animal lover, but I’m someone who genuinely cares about creating a calm, safe, and loving environment for every dog in my care. I used to be a dog owner, so I know how important it is for pet parents to find someone they can fully trust. I pay close attention to detail and always follow specific instructions to ensure your pet receives the best possible care, from medication and grooming to exercise routines and daily schedules. I’m attentive, reliable, and tuned into each dog’s unique personality and needs, especially those who may need extra patience, reassurance, or consistency. You can feel confident and comfortable knowing your dog will be treated with respect, kindness, and thoughtful care while you’re away. I am flexible, adaptive and able to accommodate varying schedules / needs. I am able to adjust my availability to meet the demands of others easily. Taking care of pets varies depending on your needs. I am here to listen, understand and develop ways to ensure you AND your pet are taken care of. From maintaining a clean environment, to following feeding or medication instructions. The values I live by - respect, honesty, trust and integrity- are reflected in my approach to all areas in my life.
“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: 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.
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.
“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: 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.
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.
About: I've had pups most of my life. I love hanging and playing with them. I also have a big back yard where they can play. I look forward to meeting your furry baby and giving him/her lots of love and attention My schedule is wide open, I do attend a morning job program, but I have a lot of time and flexibility. I love meeting new furry friends. I live with my Dad and there is always somebody home. I live on a quiet street, I have a fenced in large back yard with plenty of green spaces. My home has no carpet and is very pet friendly. I will also take them for walks in the neighborhood.

“This is my 2nd booking. My dog absolutely loves and gets excited when he see’s Shardae. I have found his forever sitter. He is well taken care of and happy when he comes home! I appreciate you!”
“Michelle is absolutely incredible! She watched my dog, Daisy, for 16 nights in her home, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Leaving your pup for over two weeks can be stressful, but Michelle sent frequent updates that put my mind completely at ease. It was so incredibly sweet to see the bond that Daisy formed--she was truly treated like a member of the family. Michelle is professional, deeply caring, and highly communicative. I will absolutely be booking with her again!”
“Shane couldn't have been better with my chocolate lab. Shane played with him, took him to the beach, and clearly welcomed my pup into his home. Shane was also really sweet in offering to pick up and drop off my dog. He was also attentive to the fact that my dog had a limp and was careful not to make it worse. Shane was very communicative and sent a ton of photos and videos. I would gladly leave my dog with him again. Highly recommend!”
“Andrew & Jessica were great. I received pictures of Casey. Casey needs a little extra because she won't poop while on leash. Andrew was able to get her to relieve herself by day two. They really went the extra mile to accommodate Casey's needs, which was greatly appreciated because I'm a worrier and Casey appeared to be in confident hands. I rarely ever leave Casey behind. Andrew & Jess made the experience seamless. Thanks again! Stacy & Casey”
“Gina was a wonderful caregiver to my almost 14 yr old Boston terrier for the weekend while I was away moving. She was able to take Lena on short notice which I’m very grateful to her for. My dog really enjoyed her stay!”
“Stephanie was great! She sent several photo updates throughout Luka’s stay, which I really appreciated. Luka had a great time, and I felt he was well taken care of. I would definitely book with her again!”
“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!”
“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.”
“Aubrey is very attentive to our dog’s needs. Goose is a nervous girl, and Aubrey takes care to make sure that she’s comfortable. She also checked in with us when Goose showed some pain/concerning behavior (she has an existing knee problem) and followed up with what care we recommended. She was communicative and obviously loves animals!”

“I had to book an urgent, last-minute flight and Bethany was available immediately to care for my dog with 12 hours notice. Her and her daughter were so sweet and Zelda seemed to have a great time. Bethany sent pics and updates while I was gone to keep my mind at ease. I will definitely book with Bethany again!”
“Our nervous little dog felt right at home with Miyabi. She usually doesn't eat when she's not with us, but she seems to really like Miyabi and ate her meals thanks to Miyabi's patience and kindness.”
“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.”
“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!”
“Mindy was so accommodating to Raisin! She sent photo and status updates each day and was very responsive. It was our first time in two years leaving Raisin in boarding, and we could tell she was in the best care. Highly recommended”
“What a wonderful host! As a fellow DogVacay sitter, I know that some dogs have difficult behaviors- mine is no exception! Harley is a consummate professional, and put us at ease immediately. She was extremely kind and had obviously made our dog, kona, part of the family. Excellent communication throughout and we felt very happy leaving kona in her care. Thank you Harley and family!”
