“I am over the moon, my fur babies took on to Robert like they’ve known him for ever, I loved that he sent daily pictures to let me know they were ok. Thank you Robert for taking such great care of Prince & Puck”
About: I’ve been an animal lover since I was a little girl. I pet sit for family & friends, and i’ve decided to start taking care of other peoples pets because it’s something that I love and enjoy! I am a kitten foster, I work with a rescue and have taken care of 7+ newborn kittens that were going to be euthanized. I love doing this not just as a job but as a hobby ☺️ I am currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to care for your pets. I am an overthinker so I always think about the worst case scenarios and do my best to avoid anything 😭 Besides that I am on my second year of college looking for a side hustle! If you have any concerns Ive probably researched it 99% of the time, so feel free to ask :) I have 1 cat (indoors & outdoor) and fenced back yard. Accommodations for your pets are available if they are not good with other animals. I have plenty of free time for play time. I enjoy going on walks and exploring nature.
“I don’t even know where to start! Ivy was so amazing! She helped me out so much by watching victor last minute for me. She sent me so many great picture of victor and I could tell he was so happy with his stay! I even felt like he was sad when he had to leave haha i felt so confident that he was very taken care of! I will definitely be messaging ivy if I need a sitter again! Thanks again for everything ivy! I really do appreciate it!”
“Basilio did a great job of taking care of my pups. It’s clear he has a lot of experience caring for dogs, even dogs like mine that require daily medication. My dogs came home happy and healthy and I couldn’t be more grateful to Basilio. Highly recommend!”
“Since the pandemic, my dog and I both have separation anxiety from each other now. But whenever Ramen is with Mary Ann and Edwin, I don’t have to worry about him. They send pictures every single day, notify me of every little thing, and just make sure that he’s having such a good time that I never have to worry while I’m gone. They’re my go-to people whenever I need boarding services and will keep going to them until they quit! 😂”
“Lizet was wonderful with bear. She gives you updates and photos/ videos on your pet which it really appreciative of. She treats your pets like they were her own. Bear felt comfortable with lizet and you can tell she enjoyed her stay with lizet. Bear found her forever sitter and new friends 😁💙”

“All I can say is thank you Olga! You and your lovely family provided a safe environment for Indy which was so important to us because she is an escape artist. If there is a way out, she will find it. We were so grateful to get your daily update and/or photos because we have never left her with someone else and it eased all of our worries. You have a beautiful family and I thank them also for being so good to Indy. In a heartbeat, I would love to bring her back to stay with you. Karen and Tom”
“Our older dog loved his time with Aimee and her partner! They sent updates and photos and set our minds at ease. I appreciated that she had our dogs meet first; she really cared that our pup felt comfortable with their sweet dog and the space before we left. Aimee and E are lovely people and excellent pet sitters. We will book again. Thank you for loving our Dexter!”

“Iliana was awesome, she accepted my very last minute booking almost immediately. Showed me around her house when I dropped off my dog so I can see where she was staying. Loved the photo updates. Would 100% recommend and rebook”

I’m great at following any directions and will treat your pets as if they were my own
About: I've cared for cats of all ages, from playful kittens to senior cats who need a little extra patience and attention. I have two cats of my own, so I'm very familiar with their unique personalities, routines, and needs. Whether it's feeding, administering basic care, cleaning litter boxes, playtime, or simply keeping them company, I always make sure cats feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I understand that every cat is different, and I'm happy to adapt to their individual preferences and routines.

“As a first time Rover user, I am very happy I went with Rich to look after my cat Mitchie. He provided top notch care and he was very communicative. Rich sent me numerous photo updates while I was away for 2 weeks and made sure Mitchie got her daily playtime and snuggles. Highly recommend and will be booking with him again.”
About: I have been caring for pets (dogs and cats) since I was 5 years old as both a pet owner and sitter. I understand how difficult it can be to be away from your pet family members and will send regular pics and updates to keep you informed about your pet's well-being while you're away. I have always been passionate about researching and finding effective natural solutions to support pet health and am happy to recommend helpful approaches for your pets specific needs at your request. I also have lots of senior dog care experience, and am comfortable administering most meds that don't involve needles. My beloved senior dog with special needs (lost use of hind legs among other things) recently passed away and I miss him but am so thankful for the time we had. I learned a lot about using natural remedies to support senior dog health from him and also learned to walk him with support for his hind end. I am currently able to provide drop in visits for pets in the Mountain Glen I community in Sylmar at this time. If you live in this community and need help caring for your family pet, please reach out so we can arrange a time to meet. Happy to help with dogs, cats and possibly other kinds of pets. I can board too, but only for pets I know and have worked with previously. I always look for and implement practices that will create a safe, peaceful, healthy and nurturing environment for pets in my home and only board pets from the same home at the same time. Boarding and day-care are only available for pets I know and have worked with previously.

“Laura & Brian were great hosts! My boys loved every bit of their stay and it made me feel so relieved and happy I’ve found a sitter like them. I received tons of videos while away and my boys did not want to leave when I came to pick them up! I will definitely bring them back, again thank you.”
“Bernadette took great care of Wensley. He seemed really content when I picked him up, and I appreciated her flexibility as far as drop off time. She's a great communicator and kept me posted with pictures. I will definitely be using Bernadette again for Wensley's future doggy daycare needs. Also, he loved the extra little doggy treats Bernadette had made. Such a great little surprise.”
“Our dogs LOVES Alexandra! They were lucky enough to go hang out with her at her beautiful home with a huge yard with her and her husband. They had lots of fun and were so well cared for and well loved! I got lots of photos of them throughout their stay which I loved! So happy we found her and will absolutely utilize her service in the future!”

“Soraya was amazing with our puppy, Noche. She took great care of him, kept him safe, and made us feel comfortable while we were away. She was kind, reliable, and treated him like he was her own. We really appreciated the updates and the care she gave our little guy. We would absolutely book with Soraya again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter. Thank you so much for taking such great care of Noche!”
“I was looking for a daycare option for my corgi to get used to bigger dogs again after a bad experience with a loose dog. Brasilio gladly did a meet and greet with us and brought his Husky to meet Tucker. He was very laid back with Tucker and very comfortable giving him a chance to get acclimated to his dog. Tucker responded very well so I felt like he’d be in good hands w/ Brasilio. He was also very accommodating when he needed to stay overnight when I had a schedule change and wanted to just pick him up the next day. Tucker has been doing MUCH better with new dog friends thanks to Brasilio!”
“Greatly appreciate Brenda, she cares for my Coco on the weekends. She works with my hours which is great since my job is a bit hectic during these days. Coco loves being with her and that is something I’m very grateful for. Will continue bringing her 🙂”
About: I’ve grown up with animals and have also had my own Yorkie Terrier I cared for with much love. I know what it’s like to care for and own a dog and I will make your dog feel at home and treat them as if they were my own fur baby. I’ll have plenty of time to take care of your animals anytime since it’s summer!! I’m free most weekends days except Thursdays and Sundays 8am-12pm. Some weekends depending!! I have a small front area they could go pee at when it’s late at night or even early in the mornings. They will be taken on walks twice a day and given the nutrients they need including water, treats, and dog food.
“My pup is always happy and tired when she comes home from Lillybeth’s home! I am always comfortable knowing that my girl is being taken care of and loved. Will continue to trust Lillybeth with my dog!”
“What can I say about Mary Ann that hasn’t been said before? She is absolutely wonderful and really cares for your pet. I was anxious to leave my puppy but we did a meet and greet first and that went very well. The day of actual care, I was still anxious (but that’s me being overprotective) heard my baby bark and I almost turned around but then I heard Mary Ann talking to her and I didn’t hear her bark anymore. Mary Ann really loves pets. I received regular updates and pics to let me know how she was doing. My baby had a huge smile in each pic. Even when I picked her up you could tell she was happy to see me but kept wanting to go back to Mary Ann. ? I am definitely going to use Mary Ann again. Couldn’t ask for a better person.”
“Our pup loves getting to spend time with Adam and Amorn! They were so gracious when we needed to extend pick up time a bit, and and always so helpful and communicative. We couldn’t recommend them more highly!”
“Bonn is an amazing sitter! So accommodating of my needs and those of Junie B! Highly recommend his services! I can tell he cares very much about the care he provides for his clients.”
“She was lovely and very understanding. My dog usually has a hard time playing with other dogs or even going with other people but she had no problem and Mason looked happy.”

I just ask for a 2 day notice for booking and for canceling. For walks, preferably early morning or evenings (especially in hot days.

“Harvey loved, Kristine. He got a great long walk. Kristine was also wonderfully accommodating as we had to deal with a power outage in our home and reschedule. Harvey has been trying to adapt to the new home and Kristine helped! Thank you!!”

“Skye walked my dog today, she did a great job. My dog was very comfortable with her and she let my dog stop and smile the flowers lol. She was well prepared with water and treats, I will book her again!”
About: What sets me apart is my experience handling multiple pets at once while still making sure each one gets individual attention and care. I’ve cared for several dogs and cats together in the same household, so I’m comfortable managing different routines, personalities, and energy levels. I have experience with young dogs and understand the patience and consistency they need. I’m happy to help reinforce basic training like leash manners, sit, stay, and good behavior during walks and feeding time. I also genuinely love going on long walks, so high-energy dogs get the exercise and mental stimulation they need, not just a quick potty break. Above all, I focus on keeping pets safe, happy, and comfortable by sticking to their routines and treating them like they’re my own. I am currently working part-time gigs after moving cross country in mid-2025 and have a very flexible schedule. I am able to make many times work and am able to sleep over or drop in as needed. I make sure to prioritize safety by anticipating potential dangers. My past experience as a daycare teacher has given me eyes on the back of my head and readiness for issues or safety concerns. I make sure spaces remain safe and comfortable for your pet and respect your guidelines and routines.
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was young. I would usually take care of family members dogs and they relied on me to walk and feed, and play with their dogs. If I noticed that the dog was dirty, I would bathe the dog so that the pet owner could return to a clean and bathed dog. I did not mind doing this because I have a pet as well and I would be surprised and enjoy coming home to see that my pet was clean. I am most experienced in taking care of smaller dogs as most family members had small dogs but I do not mind taking care of medium or larger dogs. Currently I am working part time which means that I will have more time to take care of and play with your pets. Fitness is an important part of my life so I usually go to the gym in the mornings and come back to take my dog on morning walks. I enjoy doing morning or noon walks. Depending if your dog is an indoor or outdoor dog, I will make the most out the environment. If your dog is an outdoor dog, I will make sure to play with your dog outside. I will make sure that any fence or door is closed so the dog won’t get out while outside. I have a dog of my own so I enjoy going out and sun bathing with my dog. I will make sure to bring a bowl of water outside so the dog is hydrated as well as any snacks. If you have an indoor dog, I will make sure to take your dog on walks or to a park and spend some time playing outside. I will always carry water and snacks with me. At home I will make sure the dog food and water bowl are filled and of course play some more.
About: I’ve loved animals my entire life and have experience caring for both cats and dogs of all sizes and breeds. From playful puppies to senior pets needing extra attention, I provide patient, loving care tailored to each animal’s unique needs. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding, administering medication, or just giving them some extra love while you’re away—I treat every pet like family. What sets me apart is my calm, reliable nature and ability to connect with animals quickly, making them feel safe and cared for in any situation. As a member of the Editors Guild (IATSE Local 700), I work from home, which gives me the flexibility to provide attentive and consistent care for your pets throughout the day. My schedule allows for regular walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins—making sure your furry friends are never left feeling alone or overlooked. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in yours, I create a calm, loving environment where animals feel safe and cared for. I follow your pet’s routine closely—feeding, walking, administering medication, and giving them the attention they need to feel secure. Because I work from home as a member of the Editors Guild (IATSE Local 700), I’m able to offer flexible, consistent care throughout the day. I make sure each pet gets plenty of play, cuddles, and supervision, whether I’m hosting them or visiting them in their own familiar space.
“Jana does such a great job with Avenger. She spends great time with him, leaves detailed info on how things went and sends lots of pictures. Most of all, when we get home we know he was well taken care of because he’s so happy. Thanks again, Jana!”
“Denise has been amazing with Stella and Milo. They have lots of energy and she has been great to adapt to their own unique personalities. Stella is 9 1/2yo and started limping one night and she let me know right away sending me videos and pictures. She always sends great updates and pictures which makes my shifts so much better!”
About: I'm a young active college student that used to have a dog. He was very large so I'm very aware of how to handle all types. I truly will work on tending to your needs and being a security guard I'm very good with following directions. I truly loving and playful, I'm not one to disappoint. With that being said I'm truly flexible with dogs needs and everyday care, I will put on active wear if we need to run or walk and I'm a protector, so I would treat them like my very own. My mother has taught me that updates are the most comforting thing so if that's what you need to know your dog is safe a text takes 2 min out of our play time.
About: I'm patient, genuine, kind, and highly empathetic to animals. If there's a cat or dog in the street, I am capturing it and making sure it gets taken care of. I have experience with kittens, puppies, senior dogs, big dogs, playful cats, scaredy cats, and everything in-between. Owning over 10 animals in my own lifetime, and taking care of many others, I am confident in my ability to care for pets of any kind. I work from home only 3 days per week. I can work from my laptop. I have a highly flexible schedule that keeps me at home and able to be present. I can go for breaks or walks whenever, even on work days, as my work load is usually very light. I am available most weekends. I always am respectful, calm, and alert when it comes to taking care of animals. I am very clean, organized, and detail-oriented. I am very thorough and use my gut and instinct to make decisions. I try to get in tune with whichever animal I am with, listening to their specific needs.
About: I have been working as a veterinary assistant for 18 years and have done pet sitting and dog walking for 16 years. I have loved animals since i was a little girl. I can schedule walks for earlier in the morning or when the sun is going down. Since it's to hot to go during the day I have a fenced in back yard. I can't board animals at my house. But i can take animals on walks, drop ins and over nights depending on where the place is.
About: Hi! My name is Alexis, and animals have always been one of the biggest joys in my life. I absolutely love dogs, cats, and animals of all kinds. I’ve had cats and dogs my entire life, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. I currently have two dogs and five cats of my own, so I understand the love, attention, and commitment that pets need every day. If you know me, you know I’m the person who gets excited every time I see a dog on a walk or a cat lounging outside. I’m always the first one asking if I can pet a dog, and I never pass by a stray animal without trying to make sure it has food, water, or a little kindness. My love for animals is genuine, and spending time with them never feels like a job to me. Over the years, I’ve also helped care for my own pets when they’ve been sick. Whenever one of my cats or dogs needed medication, special care, or extra attention, I was usually the one making sure they got what they needed. Because of this, I’m comfortable following care instructions and being patient with pets who may need a little extra support. In addition to my experience with animals, I work in healthcare, which has taught me the importance of responsibility, attentiveness, and compassion. I understand how important it is to pay attention to details, follow routines, and provide quality care—skills that I bring with me when caring for pets as well. I’m often the go-to pet sitter for family and friends whenever they need someone reliable to care for their pets. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, medication administration, or simply keeping your pet company while you’re away, I treat every animal as if they were my own. I know that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision. My goal is to make sure your furry family member feels safe, loved, comfortable, and cared for while giving you peace of mind that they’re in good hands. I can’t wait to meet you and your pets! Pet care fits really naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I currently work night shift, which means my days are usually free and very flexible. Because of that, I have plenty of time and availability to dedicate to walking, drop-ins, and spending quality time with pets during the day. I actually love that my schedule allows me to be fully present when I’m caring for animals—I’m not rushing between work or distracted by a 9–5 schedule. I can give pets my full attention, whether that means morning walks, midday visits, feeding routines, playtime, or just keeping them company and making sure they feel comfortable while you’re away. My routine also makes it easy for me to be consistent and reliable with scheduling. I’m used to balancing responsibilities and working odd hours, so I’m very organized and good at sticking to care instructions and time-sensitive routines. Overall, my flexible daytime availability makes pet care a perfect fit for my lifestyle, and I really enjoy being able to spend that time doing something I genuinely love. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my main priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and as relaxed as possible while their owners are away. I always take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special instructions so I can keep things consistent and familiar for them. I approach every visit with patience and calm energy, letting pets warm up to me at their own pace. Whether it’s feeding, walks, litter box cleaning, playtime, or just spending quiet time together, I make sure each pet gets the attention and care they need. I’m also very detail-oriented when it comes to following instructions. If a pet has a specific feeding schedule, medication routine, or special care needs, I make sure everything is done exactly as requested. I have experience administering medications and caring for pets with extra medical needs, so I’m comfortable handling those responsibilities with care and reliability. While I’m in the home, I also make sure everything stays clean, respectful, and as you left it. My goal is not only to care for your pet, but to give you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands and your home is being respected. Most importantly, I treat every pet like they’re my own—always with love, patience, and attention to their unique personality.
About: In the past, I was trained as a Customer Advisor at Petco and worked at a doggy daycare afterwards, making me well experienced in warning signs for any allergies or illnesses and much more detail oriented than your average sitter. If ever needed, I can also provide knowledge on what are the best products to recommend for your pet to fit their specific needs. I have had animals my whole life and I know what it feels like to be away from home and miss my pets dearly. When your dog or cat stays with me, I will keep you updated as much as possible. Sending pictures and/or videos to make you feel like your little ones are still with you and that you haven't missed a beat!

“Great first experience leaving our baby! We got lots of pics throughout the week that made us feel at peace knowing he was having fun. Our pup had a great time and came back tired! Highly recommend them! Thanks again!”
About: Animal-loving artist having worked as a Veterinary assistant in shelters, veterinary offices and animal hospitals. I’m also an Animal Rescuer focusing on rescuing, fostering, and finding permanent homes for abused and neglected animals in the US and Asia.

“Basilio did a great job of taking care of my pups. It’s clear he has a lot of experience caring for dogs, even dogs like mine that require daily medication. My dogs came home happy and healthy and I couldn’t be more grateful to Basilio. Highly recommend!”
“We left our dog with Jessica and Brian for 3 weeks and she was immaculately cared for! We got photo updates and felt very comfortable knowing she was well cared for. Thank you again for treating her like family! We would recommend Jessica to anyone!”
“All I can say is thank you Olga! You and your lovely family provided a safe environment for Indy which was so important to us because she is an escape artist. If there is a way out, she will find it. We were so grateful to get your daily update and/or photos because we have never left her with someone else and it eased all of our worries. You have a beautiful family and I thank them also for being so good to Indy. In a heartbeat, I would love to bring her back to stay with you. Karen and Tom”
“Our older dog loved his time with Aimee and her partner! They sent updates and photos and set our minds at ease. I appreciated that she had our dogs meet first; she really cared that our pup felt comfortable with their sweet dog and the space before we left. Aimee and E are lovely people and excellent pet sitters. We will book again. Thank you for loving our Dexter!”
“Nicole was awesome! We needed a last minute sitter and she was able to accommodate us. Ollie was SO happy and exhausted when he came back home, which is always a great sign! He met a bunch of other buddies and was in a great mood when I picked him up. Thanks Nicole!!”
“Brenda gives daily updates and photos. She provided great communication and exercise for Kodi. Kodi got along great with her husky, Leeloo. I hated to separate him from his new friends. I will use her services again. I highly recommend Brenda.”
“This was a long stay for Harlye Quinn and we enjoyed knowing and seeing that she got to hangout and play with other dogs during her stay. Kevin and his family gave a good peace of mind knowing that she was at a wonderful home with friends.”

“We were lucky enough to have James be available to take care of Legend while my family and I were on a 7-day cruise. He provided us updates and some pics. We knew Legend was in good hands. We will definitely use James again.”
“I appreciated Melisa and Alexis daily review and they followed my pet’s routine. He was a bit nervous as it was his first time boarding but they kept on sending me pictures and updates every few hours. I appreciated that they let me know about his anxiety his first night, with restless sleep and offered to correct what was causing his anxiety which worked the 2nd night. He slept better and I really appreciated their proactiveness with it. I am at ease now knowing that I found a loving family to take care of my lil Cinco when I need it. Thank you so much Melisa and Alexis.”
“Katy was so great with our dog!! You can tell she’s a true dog lover and makes an effort to get to know your dog and their needs. She sent pictures multiple times per day and always kept us updated! I think or dog didn’t want to leave he had so much fun with her. Will be using her again and would definitely recommend to others!”
“Hasmik is wonderful, she sends me photos everyday to ensure that my dog is happy and exercising. I can tell her and her family loves my dog. I’ve had her dog sit multiple times and trust her.”
