“Shardae was amazing! Prior to Onyx's stay with her, we met to introduce ourselves and ensure a good fit. It was a great meeting, and a week later Onyx was in her care. She was incredibly communicative, sending pictures and updates at least twice a day. I had absolutely no worries while Onyx was with her. I highly recommend Shardae!”

“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.”

“Emily was such a great pet sitter for my dog! She sent me updates with photos/vids daily which definitely eased my worries of leaving my senior dog with someone. I knew she was in great hands. Emily was also great at making sure Cleo had her daily walks and her regular schedule. She is a true gem and I'm so glad I found her (also in such close proximity) and would highly recommend her and use her for a future stay! :) thanks again Emily!”


“Bear had such a wonderful time with Vanessa and her family! She took such good care of him and sent lots of photos along the way. Can’t recommend Vanessa enough and will definitely be returning 💕”

“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”

“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!”

“3rd time booking with Gabrielle! She keeps us updated daily with photos and has great communication. Pick up and drop off are always smooth. Loki is excited everytime he gets to stay with her! Will definitley keep booking with Gabrielle!”

“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!”

“Deeann was a great dogsitter. I had the chance to meet her before dropping off my dog and instantly knew he would be in good hands. She sent photos everyday and took my dog walking / to the park several times a day giving him plenty of exercise. Thank you Deeann!”

“Noreen was such a fantastic Rover! Couldn't have asked for a better sitter for my dog. She sent me lots of photos and updates and I could tell my dog, Saucey, was having a great time and very happy. I'll definitely book her again and highly recommend her!”

About: With over 30 years of caring for both dogs and cats, I have a deep understanding of animal behavior and know how to make pets feel safe, calm, loved, and comfortable, especially when their owners are away or at work. I offer more than basic pet sitting; I create a nurturing environment where pets receive personalized attention, affection, exercise, and emotional support. My background in healthy lifestyle coaching also helps me stay attentive, active, organized, and compassionate with every pet I care for. I am particularly patient with senior pets, shy animals, and pets that need extra reassurance or consistency in their routines. It fits into my schedule because I can spend time with them at the beach, the dog park, walking around town, or just hopping in the car to visit a larger dog park. Life is good when time isn't an issue. My home is fenced and offers plenty of space for outdoor play. Plus, we spend most of our time outside. I cook homemade food for my fur baby and always take a nap after a long walk. You can feel reassured knowing your fur babies will have someone present, attentive, experienced, and caring while they are away.
“I recently had the pleasure of leaving my dog with Xenia, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Xenia was incredibly thoughtful in accommodating my dog’s schedule, ensuring a smooth and stress-free stay. Her own dogs were very friendly and welcoming, making my dog feel right at home. I highly recommend Xenia for anyone looking for a caring and considerate dog sitter.”

“Michelle was amazing with my dog, who had an amazing time. I will definitely trust Michelle again with my pup in the future. She made sure she had plenty of exercise and her dog and mine became quick friends.”

“Kimberlee is amazing! She took such great care of our pup and sent daily check-ins and photos, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We have a very high energy Aussie, and somehow she managed to tire her out, which is no easy feat! It was clear our dog was happy, well cared for, and getting plenty of attention. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Kimberlee again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”


“Great service and communication. Love the photo updates! Her calm and patience during such a difficult time in my life makes me so grateful for an amazing sitter like Rachel.”

About: We’re a family of two and proud cat parents to our two beloved 10-year-old cats. Animals have always been an important part of our lives, and we understand how much love, care, and attention every cat deserves. I’ve been caring for cats since I was 10 years old and have more than 30 years of experience as a cat owner. Over the years, I’ve cared for cats with a wide range of personalities, needs, and temperaments, and have developed a deep appreciation for cats of every breed and age. Because I work from home, I’m able to provide plenty of attention, companionship, and supervision throughout the day. Whether your cat enjoys playtime, affection, quiet company, or simply having someone nearby, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for during their stay. Our home is clean, quiet, smoke-free, and occupied only by my wife and me, creating a calm and stress-free environment for your cat. For safety and comfort, guest cats stay in their own private room, separate from our cats unless otherwise requested. Your cat will receive: • A private room for a peaceful and secure stay • Fresh food and water provided daily • Litter box cleaning and waste removal 3 times per day • Comfortable bedding, fan, and cozy resting areas • Daily monitoring, attention, and companionship • A clean, tidy, and loving home environment We know how important it is to have peace of mind when leaving your cat in someone else’s care. Our goal is to treat every cat like family and provide the same level of love, patience, and attention that we give our own. We look forward to meeting you and your feline family member! 🐾💕
About: I've been caring for animals since I was 7 years old and have experience with both dogs and cats, including raising 3 liters of kittens from birth to adulthood. Caring for animals has always naturally come to me and I treat every pet with the same patience, attention, and affection I'd want for my own. I am active, attentive, and happy to adjust to each pets individual personality and routine. Whether they love long walks and exploring outside or prefer relaxing at home with plenty of companionship, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while they're away from their family. For boarding, I only accept one client's pets at a time, allowing me to provide a calm environment and plenty of individual attention. I'm also comfortable administering medications, assisting with basic grooming such as nail trims, and following detailed feeding, walking, and care instructions. I know being away from home can be an adjustment for some pets, so I am patient and happy to give them the time and reassurance they need to settle in. I go to school part time and will fit your pet into my routine with dedicated time slots to take care of your pet and their needs. I can ensure your pet is in a comfortable environment, get regular exercise, kept up with routines, and following specific instructions provided while monitoring their health.

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

“First time with Kyle; I have a very anxious Chihuahua mix & Kyle was very patient with her and gave her her own space until she became comfortable. I can tell he has plenty of experience dealing with this type of situation. Communication was easy and efficient with Kyle the entire time that I was at my function. I did check it quite often. Kyle was very responsive which I really appreciated because I was a little bit nervous seeing that my poor baby is very anxious.. We will see you again! Thank you.”

“If you’re in need of someone to care for your dog, Alice is the person I trust the most! She is my go-to sitter whenever I’m out for a day or an entire vacation. In August, she took him in for 3 weeks while I was in the Philippines and as much as I missed him, I knew he was in wonderful hands! She’s caring and attentive. I really appreciated the updates she would send. In his most recent stay, she babysat for a day and I never had to worry! Again, if you’re looking for someone you can trust, it’s Alice!”

About: I’ve been caring for friends’ and family’s pets for years, and it’s become one of my favorite things to do. I’m the person everyone calls when they need someone they truly trust and the biggest compliment I get is that their pets don’t want to go home when vacation ends! I’ve cared for all kinds of personalities, from energetic pups who love outdoor time to cozy cuddle-bugs who just want companionship and a soft place to snooze. I’m attentive, patient, and always prioritize keeping pets happy, relaxed, and loved while their families are away. I also live very close to LAX which is convenient if you need to drop your dog while you’re away. I also have a large fenced in backyard that dogs absolutely love. Please note, I only take one dog at a time. I work from home part-time, so caring for pets blends perfectly into my daily life. I love having furry company during the day and can give frequent attention — whether that's walks, play breaks, or extra cuddle sessions. Your pet won’t be left waiting; they’ll be part of my daily routine and treated like family. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a secure, pet-friendly environment with constant supervision and a fully fenced backyard for safe outdoor time.

About: Hi everyone my name is Angie and I may be new to Rover but I am not new to loving and caring for precious pups. I currently don't have any dogs living with me but prior to July 2025 I had my own fur babies since 1992. I decided this would be a wonderful way for me to get some puppy love, bring peace of mind to traveling pet parents, and make some money while providing a loving service. I have taken care of many of my friends pups along the way. Saki, Sophie, Sushi, Bodhi, Lucy, and Honey. I also occasionally foster dogs to help my friend's rescue. I would love to meet and care for your babies. My home is a safe and loving space for pups to play and have their "stay-cation"!! I work from home and will be available to be with the pet pretty much all day. Consistent time outdoors will be provided weather permitting. I have a fenced yard with plenty of room to play or grab that nice patch of sunshine to nap in. I maintain a clean and calm environment.

“Indra was beyond incredible. She clearly loves animals and went above and beyond taking care of my pet. From spending extra time, coming extra days, and taking really long walks. She is attentive, responsive, and kind. I give her my highest recommendation.”

About: What sets me apart is my depth of hands-on experience and the structured, thoughtful way I care for dogs. Over the past eight years, I’ve fostered numerous dogs for different rescue organizations, which has given me experience with puppies, adolescents, seniors, high-energy breeds, shy or anxious dogs, and dogs adjusting to new environments. I understand canine body language and prioritize calm, confident handling so dogs feel safe and secure. For walks - I genuinely love exercise and being outdoors, and I’m happy to provide long, active walks for high-energy dogs or slower, shorter walks for seniors or more relaxed pups. I focus on safe leash handling, reinforcing good walking manners, and making each walk both physically and mentally enriching through sniff breaks and engagement. For drop-in visits - I go beyond just a quick potty break. I make sure pets receive attention, play, fresh water, feeding as instructed, medication if needed, and a clean, comfortable space before I leave. I’m attentive to details and happy to send regular updates and photos so owners feel completely at ease. For boarding - My home includes a large, fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time, and I offer structured play, enrichment activities, and optional agility-style exercises for active dogs. At the same time, I prioritize rest and calm energy so dogs don’t become overstimulated. I have experience with basic obedience, leash manners, crate training, and positive reinforcement. I’ve also worked alongside a professional trainer to further develop my understanding of behavior and proper handling techniques. For puppies, I focus on consistency and building good habits. For senior dogs, I’m patient, gentle, and mindful of mobility and medication needs. Above all, I’m dependable, communicative, honest, and trustworthy, and treat every dog as if they were my own. My goal is to provide safe, structured, loving care tailored to each dog’s unique personality and energy level. 🐾 Pet care is part of my everyday life as a stay-at-home dog mom to a tri-pawed Husky mix who has never met a dog she didn't love. I have plenty of time for walks, potty breaks, exercise, and lots of extra love and attention, and I build my schedule around each dog’s needs.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for family members since high school and have loved being around animals ever since. I’ve also had cats of my own throughout the years, so I’m comfortable caring for both dogs and cats. I especially enjoy spending time with dogs and making sure they get a good, enjoyable walk and plenty of attention along the way. I have experience caring for small puppies as well. While I’m not a dog trainer and don’t have experience administering medications, I’m dependable, attentive, and committed to making sure every pet in my care feels safe, happy, and well cared for. I'm currently working very flexible hours and have time to share with your beloved pets. I can do mid day walks, morning walks, weekend care and can be flexible with what you need. I have a fenced front yard, but most of the care would be in my 2 level townhouse or on-leash outside. I have a designated spot for food and water. My cat would be sleeping or hiding and I'd always have eyes on your pet.

About: I’ve taken care of many pets growing up and in my adult years. I adore all animals and love to pamper them. I used to work as a nanny and am in the medical field so I take my responsibilities very seriously. Currently doing online interviews and am home all day. I should only be leaving the home for short periods of time and have plenty of time to offer walks and other activities for the pets I have a fenced yard and plenty of space for them to run around. I will be around to supervise and love to play with the pups. I enjoy walking them too if they are up for it!
“Minori was great! She came and did a meet and greet the day before with my pup, which I very much appreciated. She took lots of pic and videos and kept me informed the entire time on her walk! I will definitely use her again.”


“JP is the best! All my dogs LOVE him! They get excited just upon seeing him. I don’t even want to write this glowing review as I don’t want him to get booked up too heavily when we need him! :) thanks JP!”

About: I grew up with pets that I had to love and care for on my own upon many other responsibilities. Even trained 6 cats on a whistle on an acre of land with a puppy as well! I just have a love for all animals. I’m reliable, honest, trustworthy and on time which a lot of people appreciate. I’m currently working part time but is very flexible throughout the week so I am able to work with anyone’s schedule. I also work out a lot throughout the week which helps with taking dogs on walks. I work with whatever the client’s request of me. Whether it’s a dog that just needs someone to hangout with and be taken outside frequently, I care for pets to whatever is needed or more.
About: Hello, my name is Daya. I’ve been working with animals, technically my entire life and I know that’s what you typically read.. when I was younger I had roosters, chickens, guinea pigs, rabbit, lizards, and birds. I was seeking to becoming a veterinarian technician, but I know that wasn’t my real passion. I became a Dog trainer, now for 6 years. I have been working with reactive dogs (aggressive) and the reason why I say reactive is because our dogs react towards something that makes our dogs look aggressive or probably are. I make sure as a Dog Trainer and the pet parent have a clear understanding what we need to do to help out our dogs. The training I do is obedience. I came to Rover to help out pet parents in need and not just with training but to also care for your furry friend when you're at work. Not only am I a Dog trainer, but I’m also a dog bather at my job. So, I don’t just train dogs. I make sure they are groomed well and again I just bathe. I Do Not cut hair. I want to make sure that our furry friends are clean and healthy so when they are in our home or it’s summer, they feel fresh and fine. I am also a pet parent myself. I have two cats and two dogs of my own. In the picture that you see on Rover, I am Daya the person on the right side. Every day I need to make sure that my babies are fed and well. As myself I do have and work a full-time job, thankfully. I exercise my dogs and cats before I head to work to make sure they move around before I head to work because I know they’re probably just waiting for me to come home.
About: What truly sets me apart is my nearly 20 years of hands-on experience in veterinary medicine. As a seasoned veterinary technician, I don’t just provide loving care—I bring a trained eye for subtle changes in behavior, health, and comfort that others might miss. I’m experienced in administering medications, caring for senior pets, and supporting animals with medical needs, so you can feel confident your pet is in capable, knowledgeable hands. Beyond my medical background, I genuinely love building trust with every pet I care for. I understand that every animal is unique, and I tailor my approach to match their personality, routine, and needs. Whether it’s extra patience for a shy pup, attentive monitoring for a senior cat, or energetic playtime for an active dog, I provide care that goes above and beyond standard pet sitting. With me, you’re not just hiring a sitter—you’re gaining peace of mind knowing your pet is cared for by someone with professional veterinary experience and a true passion for animal wellbeing. Pet care isn’t something I fit into my day—it *is* my day. I’ve intentionally dedicated my full-time focus to providing attentive, high-quality care for the pets and families I work with. This allows me to be fully present, flexible, and responsive to each pet’s unique needs and routine. I strive to offer a concierge-style experience for my clients, with reliable communication, thoughtful updates, and a level of detail-oriented care that goes beyond the basics. Because I’m not balancing another full-time role, I’m able to prioritize consistency, availability, and a calm, unhurried approach—something pets truly benefit from. My goal is to make your life easier and your pet’s experience as comfortable and seamless as possible, while giving you complete peace of mind knowing they are my top priority. I believe pets are happiest and most comfortable when they can stay in their own familiar environment, surrounded by the sights, smells, and routines they know best. My goal is to provide compassionate, personalized care in your home while maintaining the routine and level of attention your pet is accustomed to. Each pet is unique, so I tailor my visits to meet their individual needs—whether that means daily walks, playtime and enrichment, medication administration, feeding routines, litter box care, or simply providing companionship and reassurance while you’re away. With nearly 20 years of veterinary experience, I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages, including seniors and those with medical needs.

“Shardae was amazing! Prior to Onyx's stay with her, we met to introduce ourselves and ensure a good fit. It was a great meeting, and a week later Onyx was in her care. She was incredibly communicative, sending pictures and updates at least twice a day. I had absolutely no worries while Onyx was with her. I highly recommend Shardae!”

“Emily was such a great pet sitter for my dog! She sent me updates with photos/vids daily which definitely eased my worries of leaving my senior dog with someone. I knew she was in great hands. Emily was also great at making sure Cleo had her daily walks and her regular schedule. She is a true gem and I'm so glad I found her (also in such close proximity) and would highly recommend her and use her for a future stay! :) thanks again Emily!”

“Christy and her family were so great and welcoming to our pup. He was loved, well cared for, and so happy when we picked him up that we knew he was in the perfect place. We feel lucky to have found Christy’s home and have no doubt we will use her again.”


“3rd time booking with Gabrielle! She keeps us updated daily with photos and has great communication. Pick up and drop off are always smooth. Loki is excited everytime he gets to stay with her! Will definitley keep booking with Gabrielle!”

“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!”
About: With over 30 years of caring for both dogs and cats, I have a deep understanding of animal behavior and know how to make pets feel safe, calm, loved, and comfortable, especially when their owners are away or at work. I offer more than basic pet sitting; I create a nurturing environment where pets receive personalized attention, affection, exercise, and emotional support. My background in healthy lifestyle coaching also helps me stay attentive, active, organized, and compassionate with every pet I care for. I am particularly patient with senior pets, shy animals, and pets that need extra reassurance or consistency in their routines. It fits into my schedule because I can spend time with them at the beach, the dog park, walking around town, or just hopping in the car to visit a larger dog park. Life is good when time isn't an issue. My home is fenced and offers plenty of space for outdoor play. Plus, we spend most of our time outside. I cook homemade food for my fur baby and always take a nap after a long walk. You can feel reassured knowing your fur babies will have someone present, attentive, experienced, and caring while they are away.
“I recently had the pleasure of leaving my dog with Xenia, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Xenia was incredibly thoughtful in accommodating my dog’s schedule, ensuring a smooth and stress-free stay. Her own dogs were very friendly and welcoming, making my dog feel right at home. I highly recommend Xenia for anyone looking for a caring and considerate dog sitter.”

“Michelle was amazing with my dog, who had an amazing time. I will definitely trust Michelle again with my pup in the future. She made sure she had plenty of exercise and her dog and mine became quick friends.”


“Great service and communication. Love the photo updates! Her calm and patience during such a difficult time in my life makes me so grateful for an amazing sitter like Rachel.”

“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!”

“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.”

“Would recommend Annie a million times over!!! We have separation anxious dog that has her quirks, but with Annie there were no whining or crying. Lots of update with pictures were the best to see, and eased our own stress lol Annie seriously went above and beyond our expectations! We could RELAX on our vacation and know Jane was also having a great time being loved!”

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.
“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.”

“Gina is the best doggie mama for our little Lulu when we are away! She’s so sweet, has a beautiful backyard for Lulu to sunbathe in & gives her lots of attention & cuddles. I always know Lulu is safe & well taken care of by Gina while we are away.🥰”
“Where do I begin? Dominique is Absolutely Amazing. She took care of Paris so well went above and beyond took her own walks. Gave her extra treats and extra love. She sent me pictures and videos of Paris and what she was doing throughout the days. I am greatly appreciative of finding her and the quality of care that she gave our little fur baby. I was so thankful and ungrateful for her care that we have already rebooked twice with her for future engagements. Thank you so much, Dominique. We greatly appreciate you and Paris had a ball.”

About: New to Rover, but not new to caring for pets: I am an empty nester who loves dogs and cats. I’m easy-going and have cared for both puppies and older dogs, and I look forward to keeping your pet safe and happy while you’re away. When I pet sit, I’ll send you lots of photos and videos to reassure you that all is well. I won’t list myself as available on weekends when I know I will be in and out too much to give your pet the attention s/he deserves. I have a small fenced/gated area, and the gate is tall. We have a dog door we can utilize or lock depending on your preference. There is a small section of artificial grass outside. Indoors, dogs are allowed on the couch with me unless you prefer I not allow it. I can walk them in the morning early, usually between 7:00-7:30 am. Afternoon walks are typically between 2:30-4:00. I am flexible with when evening walks happen. Dogs don’t ever have to be crated here, but I can do so if you provide the crate. On the weekends, I can certainly let them out more often than the 4-8 hours indicated on the app. Some weekdays, however, fall within that window depending on my work schedule. I require proof or rabies and other vaccines at the meet and greet, please.

“My dog, Tango, loves going to Marco’s house. Marco is such a nice person and works hard to get to know each dog and their needs. He checks in to see if there are any changes since the last time we were there or any particulars he needs to be aware of. I know Tango is well taken care of when he is there and walked each day. Marco sends pictures every day of their walks and when they play. Marco’s house is always well maintained. It is such a comfort when we leave town to have my dog at Marco’s. I know he is in good hands with quality and caring supervision at a quality location. I highly recommend Marco’s services.”
