“Wanda was the best puppy sitter ever! I was afraid my pomeranian Rosey wouldnt want to come home with us. She sent many photos while we were away and Rosey looked so happy! I will be using Wanda again!”
“Needed a last minute sitter for an event for a couple hours. Matt and Kim fit me right in. My dog was very happy and tired when I picked him up. Highly recommend this wonderful family for ur dog to visit!”
“Merve was a fantastic cat sitter! I highly recommend her. She was very patient, kind, and caring as my anxious kitty took a few days to warm up and get used to his new settings. She took amazing care of my cat, was very easy to communicate with, and I am so grateful as this was the longest amount of time I was ever away from my cat (3 weeks). Thank you, Merve!”
“Corrine and Louis were perfect! I felt our dogs were cared for just like they are at home and will definitely request to book again in the future when needed.”
“Nyessa is simply wonderful! The way she cared for my dog was beyond what I could have hoped for. She’s so gentle, kind, and attentive! it felt like leaving my fur baby with family. I’m so thankful for her kindness and can’t wait to book with her again!”
“Julie and Maria are so wonderful! I had to book someone for my Dewie in such a short notice and I am honestly really happy that they were able to do the meet and greet the day before his stay. Her house is super spacious and has a great backyard. Location is close to CSULB, so expect some good walks with your pup! Their knowledge and caring attitude towards dogs really shows throughout them and their family! Also, my dog is very skittish and shy, but once I saw him interact with them, I knew he was going to be alright. Knowing that he was comfortable definitely made me feel at ease with using dog boarding for the first time. I will definitely use Julie and Maria's service in the future! :)”
“Zai and Max were wonderful with Lucy! They took great care of her over the weekend, followed all of my instructions, and kept me updated with great communication and lots of pictures. Lucy is an older dog, and she got along really well with their two older dogs. I felt completely comfortable knowing she was in such a caring and attentive home. I would definitely recommend Zai and Max and would happily have them watch Lucy again!”
“Irene was great with our pups! We would love for her to sit for them in the future. She shared updates while we were on our trip. She reviewed the care document, and knew how to set up their crates and put their complicated harnesses on. Our pups are high energy breeds and but they came home relaxed and content. When we went to pick them up Bone Thug ran back to give Irene a little pup love before leaving. That was the biggest sign of care and happiness to me.”
“We whole-heartedly trust Erin with our little energetic pup. He loves going there and comes back super tired from all the play time. It's also so nice to hear about her sons playing with our dog since he loves children. Erin is super sweet, nice, and is great at communicating updates/check-in photos. We couldn't be happier with her and are glad we found her on Rover.”
“Marlo took amazing care of our 5-year-old pup, Sky! We came home to a happy, well-loved dog, and it was clear she was in great hands. She also sends the best updates, which made us feel so at ease. Reliable, kind, and fantastic with pets—highly recommend!”
“I cannot recommend Laura enough. She was fantastic with our girls during their 8 day stay with her. She cared for our 2 golden retrievers (Mia and Riley), Chocolate Lab (Hershey), and our Russian Blue cat (Olivia- who has special needs as she is a tripod kitty) so well and gave us the peace of mind knowing they were in a safe and loving environment. Laura communicates very well and at the right frequency to give updates on your babies and sends pictures to help when you are missing their sweet faces. I know her house must have been hair-covered by the time we picked them up (mine always seems to be despite roomba constantly running) but she was gracious and no complaints. We will definitely book Laura in the future.”
“We recently used Soonok as a dog sitter for the first time to care for our senior terrier, and the experience exceeded our expectations. Naturally, we were a bit anxious leaving our older dog in someone else’s care, but Soonok immediately put us at ease. Soonok was incredibly kind, patient, and attentive, taking extra care to accommodate our dog’s needs and pace. What really stood out was the consistent communication—we received daily updates and videos, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our dog was in great hands and being treated with genuine care and affection. We’re so grateful for the experience and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Soonok to others. We will very likely be using her services again in the future.”
“Murphy had so much fun staying over with Alex and Fred! We could tell she was very comfortable with Alex and that she’d be in great hands right after our meet and greet. Fred also has a great temperament and was such a sweet buddy for Murph! Alex was communicative, flexible, and very trustworthy. We’re looking forward to having Murphy stay with them again!”
“These kind folks took in my dog at the very last moment when my original dog sitter canceled on me the day before my trip. They sent photos and messages regularly to update me on my dog’s well being. They also took wonderful care of his health needs. This put me at ease. Their own dog was super sweet to my dog. I returned to find my dog healthy and happy. Thank you!”
“Maria was absolutely incredible with our dog. We couldn’t be happier! She sends plenty of photos throughout each day and you can tell she genuinely cares for the dogs and treats them with love and care. Will definitely be coming back!”
“Our dog Blue had the best time staying with Dianiris and her family. From the get go, Dianiris responded quickly to texts and was very kind and reassuring (I might have been having a little separation anxiety of my own lol). I really appreciated all of the check-ins and photos she sent while Blue was with her too. Dianiris will definitely be our go-to sitter if we are back in the area!”
About: I’ve been a lifelong dog lover and understand that pets are family. I have experience caring for puppies, adult dogs, and senior dogs, and I’m comfortable administering medications, following detailed care instructions, and maintaining each dog’s regular routine. I’m committed to providing a safe, loving, and comfortable environment where every dog feels at home. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, or relaxing with plenty of attention, I’ll make sure they feel happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I carefully follow each pet’s feeding schedule, exercise routine, medications, and any special instructions to ensure consistency and peace of mind. You can count on regular photo updates, reliable communication, and dependable care throughout your dog’s stay. My goal is to treat every dog like family and make their time with me fun, safe, and as stress-free as possible—for both you and your pet. I’m available for weekend boarding and love giving dogs a safe, comfortable, and loving home away from home. Every dog receives personalized care based on their routine, energy level, and personality. Whether your pup enjoys long walks, playing fetch, snuggles, or simply relaxing in a quiet environment, I make sure they feel happy, secure, and loved throughout their stay. Please message me with your scheduling needs and I will do my best to accommodate. Thank you <3 Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. My home is clean, calm, and pet-friendly, with plenty of space to relax and a fully fenced yard for safe, supervised outdoor time. I never leave dogs unattended outside, and I closely monitor them during play and throughout the day. A crate is available if your dog is crate-trained or if they feel more comfortable having their own quiet space.
“Elise was a wonderful sitter for Yogi and Booboo. This was their first time having an overnighter with Rover. She made me feel at ease that they were in good hands. She sent a lot of update videos and made them homemade treats. They were happy and I felt they were loved and very well taken care of.”
“Chrissy is awesome! She took really good care of my very particular, very anxious old dog. He seemed relaxed after spending time with her! Chrissy is communicative and made me feel super at ease. Highly recommend!”

“I was new to Rover, and Mary Beth was my first pet sitter (two cats). She helped me through the first introduction process etc. and was very responsive, clear, and helpful. She did a wonderful job dropping in on my little kitties, and I will definitely be requesting her again upon my next trip.”
About: I’ve always had pets growing up and have always pet sat for neighbors and friends. I always stick to your pets scheduled routine. I also genuinely love to spend time with pets other than mine. 😊 I’m currently a full time student at csulb studying Biochem, so I have Fridays and weekends pretty much free! I do however have some gaps in between classes that I could squeeze in pet drop ins. My pets along with clients pets usually stick to or have a schedule that I always like to follow as I find this creates the most amount of comfort for them especially while their parent is away. I love to spend time with pets especially now that I am away from my pets back home for college.
“Kennedy was an excellent pet sitter. Very consistent and thorough in their communication. My cat was quick to warm up to him. Kennedy’s care was top-notch across the board!”
“This was our first visit with Shelli M. and found her to be reliable, thorough and very friendly. She cared for our two senior cats with pets and rubbies. She texted us everyday with photos and videos of our fur babies. Everything was lovely when we got back from our trip.”
“Raymond went above and beyond to take care of our 2 cats. He did extra things like cleaning their food bowls and sweeping stray litter that the cats tracked throughout the house. We will definitely be booking him again!”
About: I wouldn't want to assume a cat wants attention just because I’m ready to give it. I’m comfortable with the lap cats, the under-the-bed cats, the “feed me and admire me from over there” cats, and plenty in between. My experience includes senior cats, shy cats, medication, established feeding and litter routines, and multi-pet households. One family has trusted me with their two cats and two dogs around 15 times, and a recent shy cat warmed up to me within just a couple of days during a three-week stay. I pay attention, give them choices and learn their version of normal. Usually, that’s how we become the kind of friends that love meeting each other at the door.
“Mary is the best! She gives great detailed descriptions, prompt, has compassion and love for our high maintenance cat. She has always been so good with him, and he can be difficult at times. She always says what a joy he is to watch. I would give her 10 stars if possible! She also did some extra duties while we were gone! Mary is the best!❤️”
“Maiko was super friendly and accommodating. My kitties caused an issue at home and she was very prompt on informing me and help me with the situation. I definitely recommend her and will be requesting for her service again!”
About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and patience I bring to every pet I care for. I’ve been around dogs since I was 7 and now have my own toy poodle, so I understand the attention, patience, and consistency pets need. I’m especially comfortable with puppies, energetic dogs, potty breaks, playtime, and keeping pets company. I’ll always take the time to learn each pet’s personality, routine, and individual needs so they feel happy, safe, and loved! I’m available for pet care Monday through Friday from 6:00 AM–8:30 AM and 5:30 PM–8:00 PM. On weekends, I’m available all day and can be flexible with your pet’s needs and schedule! I treat every pet like family! In my client’s home, I follow their routine closely, including feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of love and attention. I’m respectful of your home and always make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away.
About: Hi! I've been taking care of my own cat for 4 years now and my family's cats for 9 years and counting. I specialize in litter box cleaning, kitty enrichment, and lots of love. If you feel that you have an aggressive/reactive kitty - don't fret! I can handle and have handled many aggressive kitties in the past and I'm sure me and your fluff-ball can work past our speciated differences :)
“Caitlin was such a huge help! She was able to take on cat sitting with extremely short notice and kept our kitty fed and happy while we were unexpectedly out of town. I highly recommend you contact her!”
“Jasmine was really great and kept us constantly updated with lots of pictures. Both of our fur babies got lots of attention and one on one care. She also cleaned up after herself and the animals. When our flight was delayed, she also came back and gave them dinner which we really appreciated!”
“Erin did a wonderful job taking care of my cat Milo! She told me she has cats of her own so it felt good leaving him with someone who has the experience I was looking for. I had quite a bit of instructions for my cat while I was away, and she did a great job following through with everything I asked. Very attentive, responsible, and clearly cared about making sure my cat was comfortable and well taken care of. She always sent me photos, giving me updates, and was great with communication! Very thankful for her help!”
“I can always count on Christopher! He’s great with Rosie especially since she needs some xtra love and care with post surgery and new diet! Thanks Chris!!”
About: I’ve taken care of cats for about 25 years. I have rescued kittens and have experience with senior cats. I have experience administering medications such as oral, topical, and injections. I provide top notch litter box cleanliness everyday and enrichment activities to gain trust and maintain engagement.
“Christina was great! She took care of our kitten with patience and consistency. They made fast friends in a few days despite Bootsy being shy and hesitant around strangers. I couldn’t have asked for more!”
“Soleil was AMAZING, and I genuinely cannot recommend her enough! She took such wonderful care of Lemon while I was away at a conference, and I never had to worry for a second. She was reliable, communicative, incredibly sweet with Lemon, and just made the whole experience so easy. She also went so far above and beyond what I asked her to do. I came home and realized she had cleaned my cat’s litter box AND taken out the trash—neither of which was remotely part of our arrangement! It was such a thoughtful surprise after a long trip, and honestly just says so much about the kind of person she is. I came home to happy pets and a home that had clearly been really cared for, which is about the best feeling you can have after traveling. Soleil is kind, thoughtful, dependable, and an absolute gem. I would hire her again in a heartbeat and would recommend her to basically anyone who will listen. Lemon and I are officially huge Soleil fans!”

“Ebony is truly heaven sent!! she made sure that our fur baby had tons of fun and even sent lots of pictures which is really comforting. The drop off and pickup was really easy and her daughter is super amazing and sweet. We will definitely be using Ebony again, especially since our dog loved her doggy treats and walks!!”
“Elise was able to get watch our two pups last minute and we are so happy to have found her! She sent picture updates, gave them lots of pets and cuddles, and also picked up / dropped off! Will use again next time we are out of the house!”
“Jill was so wonderful and caring for Diego! Her outdoor play area was shaded and so clean for the dogs. She even taught him how to use the doggy door! She was really understanding about his separation anxiety and hung around with him until he felt more comfortable to play and nap, and steal all the dog beds! I would absolutely bring Diego back here.”
“Matt and Kim were incredible sitters! They sent us the cutest photos of Bogart with their son and made him feel so at home. They walked him and cuddled him (which is the quickest way to Bogart's heart) and treated him like their own <3 We'll definitely be booking with them again :)”
“Jacquelyne was an amazing sitter and took such great care of my cockapoo for a few days. I always felt good about dropping him off and knew he was in good hands. Great communication and photos along the way as well!”
“Marilyn & Eyon & Erilynn a. took excellent care of our little Chihuahua mix for two days of day care. Our Lola is timid and doesn’t like anything she’s unfamiliar with, but she adjusted to the routine of Marilyn and Erilynn very nicely. We were put at ease with photos and text messages about how Lola was doing in our absence. We put our faith in Marilyn and Erilynn and it was the right thing to do for us and our dog. Thank you for your wonderful service!”
About: Hi there! I’m a Boston Terrier owner and dog-lover in Belmont Shore. I like to stay active and I would love to take your dog on a walk (my dog is lazy and would rather stay home!). Some places I like to dog-walk are the green belt and the beach path. I’m very experienced in taking care of short-nosed dogs. I can't wait to meet your pup! I work remote so my schedule is very flexible. For day care, I typically take dogs out for a morning, midday, and evening walk and then they can relax in the house or yard while I work. I have a small, fenced front yard that I allow dogs to spend time in with supervision. I have a small dog (Boston Terrier) that will also be in the home if you book day care. He is very friendly and enjoys other dogs after a few minutes warming up to them!
“Lisa and Tulli are wonderful. My dog can be a bit of a challenge but Lisa handled him well. A good experience and it was a pleasure to meet such a nice neighbor.”

“Christopher tol good care of my big girl Ula! He was attentive and let her take her time on walks to sniff around! It was comforting getting updates throughout the day to make sure Ula was okay.”
“I am soooo soooo happy I found Marlo. I chose her because of how many return clients she had and now I know why. She is very professional and thorough as a business person and delightful as a human. My dog had such a great time, he seemed sad to leave. No worries for him as he will be back in a week for a stay. I highly recommend Marlo to anyone who loves their dog and is nervous about letting a stranger take care of their dog. After 2 minutes with Marlo, you will know your dog is in great hands and will be well taken care of and well loved. My dog even went to Bark-BQ with the neighbors dogs. A+.”
“I would highly recommend Jessica and would definitely use her services again. She was quick to respond, attentive, very friendly, and welcoming of our dog. Jessica watched our dog Nyx last minute while we attended an expo in downtown Long Beach. Our time at the expo was not as long as we thought it would be so we let Jessica know and she responded quickly and we were able to pick up Nyx early. Nyx was happy when we picked her up and I could tell she was enjoying her time with Jessica and her family. Thank you Jessica!”

About: Hello, my name is Tru!! I am a respectful girl and reliable when it comes to tasks and care. I love animals more than anything and I’m a huge dog person. I own a cat for 2 years and I took care of many of my family pets as well as owned dogs. I would be pleased to to meet your cute pets❤️❤️ I have recently been taking care of a 13 year old pit bull and shes so cute and sweet!! I am an unemployed 18 year old who is free almost all the time. Looking for lasting clients to take care of in this field. I treat pets in my home as sweet as possible even if their personality varies when it comes to affection. I treat pets in others home as the houses most prized possession because they are, lol.
“He's working with my dog It was traumatized by being taken from my condo to the pound. I really appreciate this dog walking service I'm hoping to get my dog to realize when it's taken out it's going to come back!! Raymond was perfect!!”
“Bergen was SPOILED this weekend with several walks and play time with Michelle. We will continue to book Michelle for our walking needs for our boy! He loves her so much!!”
“Elise was able to walk my senior pup who can sometimes be grumpy and challenging to deal with. She worked with her to befriend her and made her treats that she absolutely loves. Thanks Elise!”
About: I have experience with many types of animals in the past few years. From large dogs such as huskies, golden retrievers to bulldogs. To smaller dogs such as Shih Tzu, Frenchies and even new born puppies! I also have experience with bird care and rodents. A love for animals means to give them the best quality care. I am currently working part time with mid day-closing shifts. I tend to have 2-3 days off a weeks, which allows me to be able to have dedicated time to take care of people’s furry babies. I am very aware of my surroundings so when it comes to client homes. I’ll keep a good eye on not just the pet, but the care for the home. Any loose toys, objects or cables will be protected and remain out of sight of the pet for their safety. I’ll take care and make sure your pet has the fun they need, while maintaining a tidy home.
About: I joined Rover in October 2025 but I’ve been caring for animals for decades and have a deep appreciation for the comfort and companionship they bring. Before joining Rover, I was (and still am!) the go-to resource for friends and family who needed cat, dog, and house sitting. Now, I’m excited serve the Long Beach community :) Whether I’m spending time with a playful pup or a senior, I’m committed to providing attentive, reliable, and compassionate care. New Rover clients are eligible for a $20 credit: https://www.rover.com/sit/erins70354 I work remotely, Monday through Friday, and have flexibility for morning and day time care - walks, feedings, socializing. I can also provide care in the early or late evenings, working around dinner and gym time. For house sitting requests, I am currently able to offer spending 8-10 hours with your pet during the day, but am unable to offer overnight care at this time. I do my best to keep pets comfortable by sticking to their usual routine. I follow all instructions for feeding, walks, medication, training, and anything else they need. I’m careful with doors and gates, clean up after them and myself, and send updates so you know how things are going.
“I love working with Christopher! He’s diligent, responsible, dependable with his communication and so gentle and sweet w my Rosie! She’s just recovering from surgery so he took extra care with her to make sure her meds and potty schedule adhere to the doctors orders! I will keep counting on Christopher to be there for Rosie in the future!!”
About: I’ve spent much of my adult life in roles where people trusted me with things that mattered to them like their homes, businesses, teams and even careers. I spent my undergraduate years as an Assistant Property Manager before becoming an LAX operations leader and former full-time recruiter, and I bring that same sense of responsibility to more than 10 years of caring for pets. I have especially good experience with senior animals: more than half of the dogs and cats I’ve cared for have been seniors. I love their personalities and am comfortable adjusting to slower walks, medication schedules, established routines and the little preferences that become especially important as pets get older. Even re-potty training them! At the other end of the spectrum, I’m an active person and outrigger paddler, so energetic dogs are very welcome too. Long walks, play and outdoor time fit my lifestyle after having been in grad school in upstate New York. My approach is individualized. My experience has taught me how much better the outcome is when you listen first, ask good questions and understand what constitutes a good fit. Pets aren’t any different. I want to learn their personality and normal routine so I can meet them where they are. My goal is for you to come home thinking, "My pets and home are happy, healthy, safe and ready for me to come back without skipping a beat." My schedule is flexible, and I plan my day around each pet’s routine. I often work from my computer remotely during the day and have broad availability for walks, drop-ins and house sitting. I do have activities outside the home, including early-morning outrigger paddling, but I make sure feeding, potty breaks, medication and other important routines are taken care of first. For house sitting, I’m generally a good fit for pets who are comfortable alone for 4–6 hours at a time, or longer when that is already part of their normal routine. I’m happy to talk through your pet’s schedule before booking and adjust where I reasonably can. I like to begin with a meet-and-greet so I can understand your pet’s normal behavior, routine, medications, household setup and emergency plan before care begins. I review instructions carefully and ask questions upfront that may include how you want me to communicate if something unexpected happens. I pay attention to changes that can be easy to miss, from unusual itching or appetite changes to changes in energy, bathroom habits or behavior, and I’ll let you know when something seems out of the ordinary. I’m equally conscientious with the home itself. I’m a “leave it better than you found it” person. I keep the spaces I use tidy, handle mail and packages according to your preferences, take out trash, water plants and care for linens when appropriate. If you already have cleaners, gardeners or other small business service providers, I’m happy to work around the systems you already have.
About: Hi there! I've been working with pets for 9 years and counting. I specialize in big/small dogs, cats, and small mammals. Additionally, I have 4 years of experience caring for reptiles and aquatic animals. If you have a 'weird' animal or an animal that is not listed for care on Rover, contact me! I'll be more than happy to care for your critter with proper written instructions :) I'm currently a college student with morning and evening classes. My daily schedule is open for early to late afternoon and nightly visits. Upon contact a descriptive schedule will be provided for the length of pet care to ensure the best outcome for your fuzzy friend. I can ensure safety and trust between me and your fuzzy friend by respecting their boundaries and following their schedules. Additionally, I carry experience with pet CPR, hold an emergency crate in my car, and will adapt to any needs your pet describes.
“Lisa is a very friendly person. My dog immediately warmed up to her. I feel very good about her taking care of my dog. She took the time to come and meet me I really appreciate her service.”
“It is very difficult to trust people with your dog. Popi was wonderful! Great communication, punctual, and handled my sometimes difficult big dogs well! I would highly recommend her and would book again in the future!”
About: Big heart, gentle hands, and plenty of treats! I’m dedicated to providing a fun, stress-free environment for your pets. Whether it’s long walks or cozy cuddles, your fur baby will be in the best of care with me. Full-time care for your best friend! Because I’m a stay-at-home mom, I have the flexibility to provide around-the-clock attention. Our typical day includes cozy indoor playtime and daily neighborhood walks with my baby in tow. It’s the perfect environment for pets who love a consistent routine and a family atmosphere. I can't wait to welcome your pup into our daily adventures! I’m a firm believer that pets are family! When your fur baby stays with me, they get full access to cuddles on the couch and endless yard fun (fenced). If I’m visiting your home, I take pride in being a respectful guest who focuses entirely on keeping your pet happy and tired out. You can expect plenty of photo updates, quick communication, and one very happy pet upon your return!
About: I may be new to professional pet sitting, but I am a responsible, caring, and dependable caregiver with several years of experience working as a nanny. Caring for children has taught me the importance of patience, safety, consistency, and attention to individual needs, qualities that I bring to pet care as well. I have experience caring for dogs belonging to friends, including feeding, walking, playtime, and providing companionship while their owners were away. As an active triathlete, I enjoy spending time outdoors and can provide energetic walks and exercise for dogs who need it. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine. I take the time to follow owners' instructions carefully, provide regular updates, and make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. My goal is to treat every dog as if they were my own. My primary availability is on Fridays and weekends (Saturday and Sunday) if you are in Long Beach. Starting in September (09/07/2026) , I will also be available (Monday- Thursday) for morning walks in Orange County, including Newport Beach, Costa Mesa, and Irvine, between approximately 8:30 AM and 11:00 AM. Feel free to reach out if your schedule falls outside these hours, and I will do my best to accommodate when possible. My focus is on providing safe, reliable, and enjoyable walks for your dog. I understand how important it is for pets to maintain their regular routine, so I always follow the owner's instructions regarding walking routes, exercise needs, feeding schedules, and any specific preferences. As an active person, I genuinely enjoy spending time outdoors and helping dogs get the physical activity and fresh air they need. During every walk, I prioritize safety, awareness of the environment, and making sure your dog feels comfortable and cared for. I treat every pet with kindness, patience, and respect, and I am committed to providing dependable care and clear communication with pet parents. I enjoy dogs of all sizes and personalities, and I work best with dogs who enjoy structured walks and outdoor time.
About: My name is Andy! I am a young professional who works from home in the Belmont Shore neighborhood of Long Beach, CA. I have a Boston Terrier and grew up with 2 labs. I walked dogs for various families throughout high school and college and have volunteered at Wagtime doggy daycare in Washington, D.C. I am an enthusiast and experienced dog-walker and care-taker. My love for dogs will be evident the first time you meet me! I am also responsible, punctual, and trust-worthy. You can count me on me to not only hold our appointments, but go above and beyond for you and your pup. Your dog's safety and happiness are very important to me, and I pay close attention to details like medical/physical needs and comfort-level around other dogs. After a session, you can count on me to lock your home and leave it exactly as I found it out, with the addition of a well-walked and happy dog. I work full-time from home and have flexible availability during the week and on weekends. I'm also open to nighttime visits. I love a good night walk! I have a 4 year old Boston Terrier who means the world to me. I also grew up with an elderly lab with arthritis in her legs. I know how much dogs mean to their pet owners (parents, really). It's very important to me that your dog is happy and that you can go about your day worry-free knowing I'm taking good care of your pet.
About: 🦮🐕🦺🐕🐩🐕🦺🦮 Dog Experience 🦮🐕🦺🐩🐕🐕🦺🦮 I have experience caring for a wide range of dogs, including pit bulls, german shepherds, huskies, english bullterriers, bulldogs, poodles, and american bullies. I’ve raised and trained my current dog (Bruce Wayne) from a puppy and cared for my previous dog (Stella Rose) through all stages of life. Stella died from pancriatic cancer, giving me experience with senior care as well. I’m comfortable with all temperaments and energy levels, from high-energy dogs (like Bruce Wayne) to low energy dogs and older pets (like Stella Rose). 🐈⬛🐟🦜🐸🐢 Other Pet Experience 🐢🐸🦜🐟🐈⬛ I have experience with all different kinds of animals, from cats, to reptiles and aquatic pets. I particuarly have experience with cats, pac-man frogs, suckerfish, shrimp, pond fish, my grandmother's evil sun conure & golden jenday mixed bird, and turtles. Even though I don't have much experience with hamsters, mice, snakes, spiders, lizards and other animals, I am comfortable with all of them & feeding them their respective meals (live or dried). 🫶🏻 ✨✨✨✨✨✨ About Me ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨ I’m very patient and understanding with all pets. I’ve worked with shy, agressive & what many would consider to be straight up evil (my grandmothers bird) animals, earning their trust over time. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. Sometimes pets can have a difficult time eating because of how much they miss their owners. If this happens (& if it's okay with the owners) I'll typically hand feed them to make sure your pet is getting the nutrition they need while your away. 🫶🏻 ⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰ Schedule ⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰ I’m currently a college student at CSULB with a pretty consistent class schedule & outside of school activities, which allows me to plan my pet care visits according to that. Depending on the day I’m typically available in the afternoons, evenings, and weekends, and I make sure to schedule my time so pets receive all the attention, walks, and care that they need. I’m dependable and communicate clearly if anything in my schedule changes. Right now I'm on summer break so I'm available almost all the time! 🫶🏻 🏠🏠🏠🏠🏠🏠 Enviornment 🏠🏠🏠🏠🏠🏠 I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every pet. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions, including feeding routines, exercise, and any specific needs. I’m attentive to behavior and prioratize making sure pets feel secure in their own home. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos for peace of mind while they’re away.
“Evynn is very loving and compassionate with pets. She took very good care of Scooty even during rainy days. She sent us rover cards on daily basis which had pics of Scooty having fun playing and walking with her. Will definitely return to her for future needs. :)”

“Needed a last minute sitter for an event for a couple hours. Matt and Kim fit me right in. My dog was very happy and tired when I picked him up. Highly recommend this wonderful family for ur dog to visit!”
“Corrine and Louis were perfect! I felt our dogs were cared for just like they are at home and will definitely request to book again in the future when needed.”
“Irene was great with our pups! We would love for her to sit for them in the future. She shared updates while we were on our trip. She reviewed the care document, and knew how to set up their crates and put their complicated harnesses on. Our pups are high energy breeds and but they came home relaxed and content. When we went to pick them up Bone Thug ran back to give Irene a little pup love before leaving. That was the biggest sign of care and happiness to me.”
“We whole-heartedly trust Erin with our little energetic pup. He loves going there and comes back super tired from all the play time. It's also so nice to hear about her sons playing with our dog since he loves children. Erin is super sweet, nice, and is great at communicating updates/check-in photos. We couldn't be happier with her and are glad we found her on Rover.”
“Marlo took amazing care of our 5-year-old pup, Sky! We came home to a happy, well-loved dog, and it was clear she was in great hands. She also sends the best updates, which made us feel so at ease. Reliable, kind, and fantastic with pets—highly recommend!”
“I cannot recommend Laura enough. She was fantastic with our girls during their 8 day stay with her. She cared for our 2 golden retrievers (Mia and Riley), Chocolate Lab (Hershey), and our Russian Blue cat (Olivia- who has special needs as she is a tripod kitty) so well and gave us the peace of mind knowing they were in a safe and loving environment. Laura communicates very well and at the right frequency to give updates on your babies and sends pictures to help when you are missing their sweet faces. I know her house must have been hair-covered by the time we picked them up (mine always seems to be despite roomba constantly running) but she was gracious and no complaints. We will definitely book Laura in the future.”
“Murphy had so much fun staying over with Alex and Fred! We could tell she was very comfortable with Alex and that she’d be in great hands right after our meet and greet. Fred also has a great temperament and was such a sweet buddy for Murph! Alex was communicative, flexible, and very trustworthy. We’re looking forward to having Murphy stay with them again!”
“Maria was absolutely incredible with our dog. We couldn’t be happier! She sends plenty of photos throughout each day and you can tell she genuinely cares for the dogs and treats them with love and care. Will definitely be coming back!”
“Our dog Blue had the best time staying with Dianiris and her family. From the get go, Dianiris responded quickly to texts and was very kind and reassuring (I might have been having a little separation anxiety of my own lol). I really appreciated all of the check-ins and photos she sent while Blue was with her too. Dianiris will definitely be our go-to sitter if we are back in the area!”
About: I’ve been a lifelong dog lover and understand that pets are family. I have experience caring for puppies, adult dogs, and senior dogs, and I’m comfortable administering medications, following detailed care instructions, and maintaining each dog’s regular routine. I’m committed to providing a safe, loving, and comfortable environment where every dog feels at home. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, or relaxing with plenty of attention, I’ll make sure they feel happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I carefully follow each pet’s feeding schedule, exercise routine, medications, and any special instructions to ensure consistency and peace of mind. You can count on regular photo updates, reliable communication, and dependable care throughout your dog’s stay. My goal is to treat every dog like family and make their time with me fun, safe, and as stress-free as possible—for both you and your pet. I’m available for weekend boarding and love giving dogs a safe, comfortable, and loving home away from home. Every dog receives personalized care based on their routine, energy level, and personality. Whether your pup enjoys long walks, playing fetch, snuggles, or simply relaxing in a quiet environment, I make sure they feel happy, secure, and loved throughout their stay. Please message me with your scheduling needs and I will do my best to accommodate. Thank you <3 Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. My home is clean, calm, and pet-friendly, with plenty of space to relax and a fully fenced yard for safe, supervised outdoor time. I never leave dogs unattended outside, and I closely monitor them during play and throughout the day. A crate is available if your dog is crate-trained or if they feel more comfortable having their own quiet space.
“Chrissy is awesome! She took really good care of my very particular, very anxious old dog. He seemed relaxed after spending time with her! Chrissy is communicative and made me feel super at ease. Highly recommend!”
“Sara took the most incredible care of our pup. We got tons of great pictures of him daily and she provided wonderful updates. We even left with the cutest custom report card on his stay. I would absolutely recommend Sara to anyone who is looking for a great place for their dog!! Thank you Sara and Zoe!”
“Christa was absolutely amazing. She took such great care of my doggo while I was out for 2 weeks. She took her on all kinds of adventures and sent lots of messages and pictures. She was very responsive and incredibly sweet to my dog. I highly suggest having Christa watch your puppers!”
“Wonderful family! Felt comfortable right when we met. Our sitter unfortunately cancelled last minute but Pablo and his family were accommodating, asked great questions, and kept us updated with how our dog was doing. Our dog can be anxious so it was an even bigger relief to know that she was comfortable while we were away for a few days. We would definitely recommend!”
“My dog Lucy a large Goldendoodle loved her time spent with Jennifer . There were a couple of dogs for her to play with and she seemed really happy when we went to pick her up. She never stays with anyone so I’m very happy it went so well . Thank you Jennifer”
“Best dog sitter ever! Ebony was so patient and attentive with my 1 year old, and her dog Cali was the perfect companion. I appreciated the constant photos that clearly showed my pup’s huge smile - I was afraid he wasn’t going to want to come back home since he was having so much fun. We’ll definitely be back to see Ebony and her girls.”
“Laura was fantastic. She’s very quick to respond and took my dog on a very short notice. She was great with him. He was so happy to be with her and her dogs. He came home happy and healthy. Thank you so much!!!”
About: I had a family dog for 13 years! Luna was such a good girl and very energetic. She has since passed and her energy is deeply missed! Having so much time with Luna allows me to say I have great experience with dogs both in their senior and puppy years. I am a full time college student. Starting in September my schooling is fully online. That way I will have plenty of time to tend to the pets. I have a fully secured backyard with grass, shade and cement. The yard is a good size for dogs to play and relax. As for inside, there is an AC for hot days and the dogs are allowed on the couches and beds.
