“I've used Selien a couple of times now and she takes great care of our pup. We like that the fact that she only takes in one dog at a time so we don't have to worry about Dash interacting with new dogs every time we drop him off. Selien takes Dash on long walks to help burn off his high energy and she gives us great updates and pictures of his stay. We will definitely use Selien again in the future!”
“Magdalena was a wonderful dog sitter for our pup Franklin. She was very attentive, sent lots of photos and updates and you can tell she has a big heart for animals. I will definitely be booking her again!”
“We had such a great experience with Adolfo! He took care of our two dogs, Ozzy (9) and Jessie (1), for a week while we were on vacation, and we couldn’t have asked for better care. He took them on walks, played with them, made sure they were fed, and even gave them their vitamins. Adolfo also kept us updated with pictures and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was such a relief knowing our dogs were happy, safe, and being well taken care of. We were able to truly enjoy our vacation knowing Ozzy and Jessie were in such a positive and caring place. We highly recommend Adolfo and would definitely trust him with our dogs again!”
“Laura and Chad took such good care of Rocco while I was away. They followed specific instructions and make sure he was well cared for. I love how he easily warmed up to them and I could tell he had a good time when I picked him up. I highly recommend them! 10/10”
“Joyce is a great sitter! We are always so nervous to leave our dog with people, but Joyce was so great about updating us throughout his stay! Our dog looked like he had a fun time with her two pups. We look forward to booking with her again!”
“I was super hesitant leaving anyone with my fur baby, but Steven made this process so easy. He constantly sent updates and pics and in all the pics my Mac looked so happy. I will definitely be booking with Steven again if needed. Highly recommend.”
“Albina is a dream come true for anyone hoping to find a kind and considerate dog boarder. She was wonderful with my mom's dogs and they took right to her. I highly recommend Albina as a dog boarder!”
“Hillary was great with Oliver. She was super patient and understanding of his needs and slight anxiety. I appreciated her communication style and updates. Would definitely book again”
“Marlayna and Gina took good care of my sweet pup!! He was there for 8 nights while I worked in LA. They sent over photos throughout the day and even sent his favorite toy (of the stay) home with him. I would definitely reach out again when I’m in the area.”
“Irina is awesome! She boarded my 2 cats for 3 nights and they were in such excellent hands. Irina was great at asking for how to make them feel the most comfortable away from home and provided regular updates and pics on how they were doing. I will be booking with her again for kitty care!”
“She was super polite, took great care of my dog, kept me updated twice a day. Her response was quickly and smoothly everytime. I'm really thanksful and love to ask for her help again next time.”
“Lisa was absolutely amazing with our puppy. She’s incredibly sweet, patient, and genuinely caring—you can tell she really loves what she does. She kept us updated with photos throughout the stay, which gave us so much peace of mind, and she was always super quick to respond whenever we missed him and wanted a check-in. It made the whole experience stress-free and honestly enjoyable. We’ll 100% be booking with her again!”
“Elva was so amazing with our babies! She kept us updated with all the fun they were having without us ever needing to check in. Loved that she was just a natural at noticing all our dogs funny quirks and enjoyed their company. Appreciate you Elva!!”
“Angelica was a great host! She welcomed my pup into her home warmly, and took great care of him. A couple nights later, I picked up a very happy dog! She checked in with me while I was away and took the time to ask important questions about George. I would absolutely recommend Angelica!”
“Kimberly is awesome! I’m relieved when my dog-Butter is with Kimberly and her family. She makes sure of care info and sends lots of photos. Butter seems to have a good time at Kimberly’s place playing with whole family which is the best!🙏🏻”
“Janice took care of our doggie for the weekend and was in constant contact with us during the time we we’re away. We felt comfortable leaving our doggie with her. Her constant love and care is great for doggies!”
“Luan took great care of Mikey! He was instantly comfortable meeting her for the first time and was happy to play with her dog. Luan also provided daily updates with photos/videos which I really appreciated.”
“David took great care of my dog, Max. Max couldn’t stop talking about all the adventures they went on, and shenanigans they got up to. He’s got weird eating habits (Max, not David), but they rolled with it and I’ll definitely be using David for future bookings. Happy senior pup!”

“Lindsey is the absolute best!!! I truly cannot say enough positive things. She gave my dogs so much love and attention, and provided both me and my partner separate, thorough text updates since we were away in different places. She also sent tons of adorable photos that really captured the dogs’ personalities and made me feel like she really got to know them. This was my first time using a Rover sitter in many years, as I’ve always had friends or family available to watch my dogs, but I just moved to LA and don’t have a reliable network of personal dog sitters, so I was really nervous about having a stranger take care of my boys while I was away, but Lindsey instantly made me feel at ease and like I’d known her forever. I would 100% trust her to watch my dogs again, and would recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will provide the same level of care to their pets that they would provide themselves.”
About: As an experienced veterinary technician and lifelong cat owner, I’m comfortable caring for cats of all ages and temperaments. I have experience administering medications, recognizing signs of illness, caring for senior and special-needs cats, and making even shy or anxious cats feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.
“Sydney was absolutely amazing watching my senior cat, Kitkat! She was very communicative, kind, and clearly cared about making sure she felt comfortable and loved. I felt totally at ease knowing she was in such good hands. Highly recommend!”
About: Puppy, rescue, senior, and end-of-life. I've been there for dogs at every stage of life, and I'll bring that same care and attention to yours. I adopted my dog Winston at 12 weeks old. My other dog Kevin was a high-energy shelter rescue at 11 months with no house training. And my late dog George, who came into my life through my wife, was with me through a serious illness, including daily medications, until he passed. That experience taught me patience, consistency, and how to genuinely read what a dog needs. I also rescued my cat from the streets and have cared for him for 17 years, so cat owners can feel just as confident leaving their pets in my hands. Whether your pet is a wild puppy, a relaxed senior, or somewhere in between, they're in experienced and loving hands. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate drop-in visits, walks, and pet sitting on most days, including weekday mornings, afternoons, and early evenings. For in-home pet sitting, I'm happy to work around your travel plans with a little advance notice. While I don't offer in-home boarding or daycare at my place, I treat every client's home with the same care and respect I'd want shown in my own. I'm friendly and professional in how I communicate and how I carry myself around your pets and neighbors. During every visit I'll follow any instructions you may have, whether that's feeding routines, leash preferences, off-limit areas, or anything else that matters to you. After each visit you'll get a confirmation that everything was completed, along with photos and any notes worth sharing, so you're never left wondering how things went.
“margaret was so amazing and communicative the from the first time we met to the last visit and it was clear that ghibli loved their time together 🥹 thank you so much margaret!!! 🫂”
“You’ll love Lori as a person and a pet-sitter! She’s attentive, asks all the right questions about the temperament of your pet, routines, litter box tasks—she’s the best!! You’ll enjoy reading all the notes she takes about her time with your pet 🫶 Thanks again!!”
“Lani was wonderful checking on our two cats! She left detailed summaries and posted lots of pictures! I loved that she took the time to cuddle with our cat while we were gone!”
About: I’ve only cat sat a mutual friend cat for a little over a year at this point but I’ve also worked in an animal shelter focusing with the kittens and feral cats! So I’ve dealt with cats with many different kinds of personalities and can assure you I can provide excellent care of you baby
About: Whether it's just lounging on the couch or going for a fun walk, your dog will have my full attention. Their comfort is my number one priority. I have doggy stairs and extra beds all around the house. I work remotely so my schedule is flexible enough that I can take them for walks whenever needed. I also have a front and backyard where the doggies can sniff around or lay in the sun. :) I work from home so I can take the doggies out whenever they want and feed them whenever I’m instructed to. Very flexible schedule here. I have fenced yard and my 2 doggies are very friendly with other dogs. My dogs have doggy stairs and beds all over the house.
“This was my first time using Rover and getting a cat sitter. Katherine was so great through this process. She definitely cared for my babies as if they were her own. I would love to book her again!”
“Sylvia was great with our two recently adopted cats. She provided everything that they needed while respecting their boundaries. I recommend her and look forward to having her watch for our cats again.”
“Ruby did a great job house sitting for my cat Winston. She was communicative and sent me great photos. I could tell that Winston had a good time because he was cuddling up next to her in the photos. I would hire her again.”
“Adela did a fantastic job housesitting our two cats! She is very gentle and loving and our anxious boy warmed up to her fairly quickly! We felt very secure during our trip knowing that our kitties were in good hands and getting lots of love and attention. Adela always sent us amazing updates with photos and videos and we can tell our boys had a good time with her! We would totally trust her to look after our boys again! 10/10 Thank you Adela! <3”
About: Hi! I’m a caring cat caregiver who understands that every cat has their own personality. Whether your kitty is shy, social, playful, or a certified lap-cat, I create a calm, comforting environment. I’m gentle, patient, and happy to follow any routine—feeding, brushing, playtime, and meds if needed.
“Peggy is an angel in the world of cat sitters! My cats adore her and I feel lucky to have such a caring, warm, wonderful attentive person watching out for my two kitties. Peggy stays in my house while I am gone and takes beautiful care of the home. I can not recommend her enough, I feel lucky to get to have Peggy stay in my home with my cats.”

“Salien was super nice and my dog seemed to really like her. She sent me many photos throughout the day. I felt comfortable leaving my baby there and that’s a hard thing for me to say since this was the first time I left him in somebody else’s care?.”
“Magdalena was super helpful and took amazing care of my dog, Roxy! She kept me updated throughout the day and with the LA heatwave coming through, she made sure to keep my dog hydrated and cool as much as possible. Would totally book with her again!!”
“Joyce was great! She gave many updates while my pup was there for day care. We were heading to Universal Studios for the day; she was so accommodating with our drop off and pick up schedule. Will most definitely will book her again!”

About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was a little one. Since having my own animals over the years, I’ve come to understand the type of care we pet parents need when trusting someone new with our furry family members. I have a big house with a fenced in yard and I’m always happy to help out in a last minute bind, something planned ahead, or even something on the regular. I have a very flexible work schedule allowing me to be available at any time of the day. I’m up with before the sun and love to take multiple walks a day. My cat and I hang out when she feels like it. There is nothing more important to me than your pet feeling loved and their safety. I have a fenced in yard and a 4 bedroom house. I do have a cat at home who is good with other animals, but she can have a separate area of the house of your fur baby isn’t into it. I’m happy to crate if that is your routine. My goal is for your pet to have as close to their normal routine as possible so they feel safe and happy.
“Yami is just awesome and Misty loved her and her two sweet doggies! I was so happy to leave Misty here all day knowing she was well cared for. Her tail would wag whenever she went back and she would race through the door to meet her buddies. I highly recommend Yamileth”
“Lucy looked extremely happy to be in Julianne's house; running around the yard and asking for attention as always! Julianne is professional and very accommodating to my unforseeable work schedule! I will be using her services again in the future as lucy seemed ecstatic during her 2 stays.”
“Miguel and his wife were so kind and helpful. They took Hazey in last minute and were quick to respond, which we really appreciated. They were very accommodating to her needs and made her feel comfortable right away. Their home is spacious, clean, and welcoming, which gave us peace of mind. We’re very grateful for their flexibility and care and would absolutely recommend them.”
“Laura (also goes by Stella) was amazing with Nala. She took her out on 3 potty breaks throughout the day and sent a few pictures to keep me updated. Nala is typically a shy and timid dog, but she quickly got comfortable with Laura. I will definitely book her services again!”
“Donna is so happy & healthy after a half day stay with Marlayna. I received pictures and updates throughout the day, which I really appreciated since this was our first time leaving Donna with a sitter. will definitely be rebooking & recommending to friends 💖🐾 Thank you, Marlayna!!”
About: I’ve had dogs in my life since I was about 10. I grew up in the country, so being around animals and helping take care of them was just a normal part of growing up. I’ve always loved dogs and genuinely enjoy spending time with them, whether that’s going for walks, playing, or just hanging out and giving them lots of attention. I have my own little pup now, who is very much my baby, so I completely understand how important it is to feel comfortable with the person you’re leaving your dog with. I’ll treat your pup like I’d want someone to treat mine—with lots of love, attention, playtime, and cuddles. Every dog is different, so I’m happy to follow their lead, whether they want to get out and explore, take a slow walk around the neighborhood, or just curl up on the couch and relax. I work in the film industry, so my schedule varies throughout the year. During breaks between productions, I have plenty of flexibility and availability for walks, drop-in visits, daycare, and overnight stays. When I’m on a project, I keep my calendar updated so you always know my availability in advance. Whether you need a last-minute walk or consistent care while I’m between projects, I’m happy to work with your schedule and provide dependable, loving care for your pup! Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. We have a fully fenced yard for safe play and live near a great hiking trail for dogs who enjoy getting outside. I also have a friendly 1½-year-old Dachshund who loves making new friends and happily plays with dogs both big and small. I’ll always follow your care instructions, keep your pup’s routine consistent, and send plenty of photo updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

I am retired and my calendar is wide open to the loving care of your four legged friend(s). I am currently working to help save money to send my daughter to college . Our home has a fence with a metal security barrier to prevent little pups from getting out and we have a yard. Our pets are safe and well loved. I will treat your furry friends the same as if they were my own- with respect and care.
“My dog had such a wonderful day with Jana and her family! They were so sweet to her-- Rocky got to run around outdoors for so much of the day and came back happy and tired. Thank you for such wonderful care, excited to book again.”

About: Over the years, I’ve been blessed with 2 dogs. My most recent,Keisha, I adopted at 8 years old and with her recent passing, I’m looking forward to sharing my home with your amazing pups. I am familiar with looking after senior dogs with particular diet needs. Your pup will have the opportunity to roam inside and outside at will. I look forward to taking your pup on a 2.5 to 4 mile walk each day. Your darling will be part of our family while you’re away. I work from home. Your dog will have plenty of attention throughout the day and can hang out with me while I work. After work, your pup and I will get in a nice long walk. I have a large fenced yard. Your dog will have the opportunity to wander inside and outside at will throughout the day. During inclement weather, your dog will be provided with outdoor breaks every 2 hours. Currently, I’m only taking one or two dogs at a time from the same home. I do not have any pets currently. If your dog is comfortable being caged at night, this option can be arranged.

“Will is amazing! I couldn't recommend him more. Great at communication. Takes initiative and asks the right questions. Sam, my dog who is a large dog took to him straight away. I received updates and great feedback. Thank you!”
About: Hi there — I go by Lio (she/her)! I grew up with a Jack Russell and later lived with a Cavalier King Charles puppy, then a reactive rescue Brittany Spaniel for 3 years before moving to LA. I’ve been hands-on with everything from potty training to reading canine body language, and I’m very comfortable adapting to each dog’s personality. I’ve also lived with a British Longhair cat for 3 years, so I’m used to caring for both dogs and cats in the same household. Most of the animals around me growing up were rescues, often with a bit of sensitivity, so I naturally developed a calm, patient approach. I’ve worked with a wide range of dogs — from shy or reactive to high-energy breeds (herding, hunting and hounds). I’ve also dogsat for a year through Pawshake and currently volunteer at the Pasadena Humane Society. I'm especially experienced in sensitive and reactive pups. I've cared for rescues and street dogs, and will make sure I show them love while respecting their boundaries! I currently work from home during weekdays, and will have most of the day to pamper and play with your pet. I am available all weekend for overnights. Giving space, making sure I give out respect, patience and care. The most important aspect for me is to be attuned to them. Understanding their language, making sure they are comfortable 100% of the time. Regular potty breaks, grooming if needed, and a stress-free environment.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes and ages before, from terriers to Scotch collies. These dogs have ranged in age as well, with some being as young as 1-3 and the oldest being 15. I make sure to communicate frequently to ensure pets receive thoughtful and fun care that is also respectful of their boundaries. I’m a teacher and currently on summer break, so my time for pet care is pretty open and prioritized right now! Rover is my primary focus at the moment, so let’s chat about some care for your pet! Whenever in a new environment, I make sure to inspect all possible exits or potential areas for danger or risk for pets. Additionally, respecting your home and your boundaries is a top priority of mine! I don’t use things unless I’ve asked about them and will communicate if a situation ever arises. I don’t have boarding as an option at the moment, but if that ever changes, pet safety and comfort is always a priority!
“Lori was great at communicating. She was sweet with our dog, Zara, and Zara seemed to like her. We had hired her for a walk, and we look forward to using her to stay with Zara at a future date.”
“Maggie has been an amazing weekly walker for Riggy! Riggy gets so excited every time she sees her, which says everything. She handles Riggy’s rambunctious energy like a pro (even when she has to wrestle with the harness because Riggy insists on trying to bite it when it gets put on her 😂). Maggie always makes sure Riggy has water during her walks and even refills her water bowl afterward, which we really appreciate. She’s incredibly easy to schedule with, reliable, and it’s obvious she genuinely loves animals. Most importantly, we completely trust Maggie and know Riggy is in the best hands whenever they’re together. That’s exactly why she’s become our number one go-to walker. We couldn’t recommend her more highly!”

About: Hi there! I’ve been caring for small to medium-sized dogs for over 15 years — from playful pups to sweet seniors up to 14 years old. I’ve handled all kinds of care, including giving meds and helping dogs with special needs (my own one-eyed senior dog taught me so much about patience and unconditional love!). I treat every dog like part of my family, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether it’s playtime, belly rubs, walks, or cozy cuddles, your pup will always have fun and get plenty of attention. You can count on me to care for your dog as if they were my own — with kindness, reliability, and lots of tail wags! Pet care is a big part of my everyday life! I love spending time with dogs — going on walks, playtime, feeding, and just giving them attention and affection. I plan my days around the pets I’m caring for, making sure they get consistent routines, exercise, and love. Whether it’s early morning walks or evening cuddle time, I truly enjoy every moment. Taking care of dogs isn’t just something I do — it’s something I love, and it naturally fits into my daily routine. When I care for pets, I always focus on making them feel comfortable, safe, and loved — just like they would at home with their family. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, playtime, and any medications or special needs they may have. I take the time to get to know each dog’s personality — whether they love playtime, belly rubs, or just quiet company — and make sure they get plenty of attention and affection. In my home, pets have a cozy, clean space to relax and play, and in a client’s home, I treat their space with the same respect and care I’d want for my own. My goal is always to make every pet feel happy, secure, and cared for while their family is away.

“Steven was above and beyond with my big dog Wallace. He took to time to check in with me in advance to learn a little of his background, and left my dog cared for, energized, and happy. Will definitely rebook!”
About: I grew up with both cats and dogs and have a strong understanding of animal body language and positive reinforcement (R+) training. I have experience dogsitting, walking and caring for dogs with a range of energy levels and temperaments. At home, I live with a nervous, high-energy 5-year-old dog, so I’m especially comfortable supporting pets who need structure, calm handling, and a bit of extra understanding. I also spent nearly a decade volunteering with a cat rescue, working with personalities ranging from rambunctious lovers to feral scaredies, but my favorites were always the shy kitties that needed a little bit of extra attention to feel safe. Pet care with me is an inclusive and personalized experience. I want to make sure that your animal receives the exercise and enrichment they need, but that they are also safe at home. This may include checking and refilling water, turning AC on or off at your discretion, feeding, light grooming, or the administration of medication. I am happy to clean up accidents, take out trash, and collect mail while you're out of town. I am also happy to walk at your dog's pace, whether that's a slow sniff walk or an excited stroll, and I can even incorporate training and treats into a walk if you desire. I like to spend some time bonding with both cats and dogs, whether that includes cuddles or play. I trust that you'll book enough time to meet your pet's individual needs. Note, for everyone's safety I will not approach an animal that is wary or aggressive so if your animal is afraid of strangers, please consider booking extra sessions so that your pet can acclimate to my presence (I am also always ready to do a complimentary meet-and-greet for new clients). I am trained in both the dog and cat fear signals, and usually pickup on subtler signs of stress. I will also use my discretion regarding weather conditions - if it's too hot, rainy, or smoky to safely walk your animal I'd be happy to provide them with play and potty breaks closer to home. In addition to Rover's guarantee I am insured and pet CPR certified. I am available most weekdays for drop-in visits and dog walks, and I’m flexible with timing so I can best support your pet’s usual routine and needs. I have a fenced yard and a friendly 5-year-old 40-lb dog that loves to play. At your house, I am willing to work with whatever your needs are. I know every animal is different. Let me know how your pet likes to be approached, what kind of training commands they're familiar with any special care needs needs, such as medication. I prefer to do meet-and-greets with new clients, especially with shy or temperamental animals.
About: Hi there! I’m an animal lover with experience caring for pets of all sizes and personalities. Whether your pup loves long walks, energetic playtime, or chilling on the couch, I’m here to make them feel safe and happy while you’re away. I’m patient, reliable, and committed to keeping your pet’s routine consistent. I keep a structured daily routine, so it’s easy for me to incorporate regular pet check-ins, feeding schedules, and playtime. I set aside dedicated morning and evening blocks for pet care, and I’m flexible on Fridays and weekends to adjust to your pet’s needs. You can feel confident knowing your pet’s routine will stay stable and predictable with me. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I treat your space and your pets with the same respect I’d want for my own. I follow your routines closely—feeding schedules, favorite toys, and any medication needs. I always check that your home is secure before leaving and send updates so you know your pet is happy and cared for.
About: I’ve had the pleasure of pet sitting for friends and family for the past 15years. I was fortune enough to be raised around animals & now take the time to care for them. I have experience with giving medications, senior & disabled pets. I look forward to hearing from you! Pet sitting has always been a constant and now my schedule allowed for more time to dedicate to pet care. It’s a pleasure to be able to do many things, but pet sitting it my favorite. When I care for pets I find it best to stick to their schedule. As well as giving them the time & care to get comfortable with me.

I’ll treat your pup like I’d want someone to treat mine—with lots of love, attention, playtime, and cuddles. Every dog is different, so I’m happy to follow their lead, whether they want to get out and explore, take a slow walk around the neighborhood, or just curl up on the couch and relax. I work in the film industry, so my schedule varies throughout the year. During breaks between productions, I have plenty of flexibility and availability for walks, drop-in visits, daycare, and overnight stays. When I’m on a project, I keep my calendar updated so you always know my availability in advance. Whether you need a last-minute walk or consistent care while I’m between projects, I’m happy to work with your schedule and provide dependable, loving care for your pup! Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. We have a fully fenced yard for safe play and live near a great hiking trail for dogs who enjoy getting outside. I also have a friendly 1½-year-old Dachshund who loves making new friends and happily plays with dogs both big and small. I’ll always follow your care instructions, keep your pup’s routine consistent, and send plenty of photo updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

“We had such a great experience with Adolfo! He took care of our two dogs, Ozzy (9) and Jessie (1), for a week while we were on vacation, and we couldn’t have asked for better care. He took them on walks, played with them, made sure they were fed, and even gave them their vitamins. Adolfo also kept us updated with pictures and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was such a relief knowing our dogs were happy, safe, and being well taken care of. We were able to truly enjoy our vacation knowing Ozzy and Jessie were in such a positive and caring place. We highly recommend Adolfo and would definitely trust him with our dogs again!”
“I was super hesitant leaving anyone with my fur baby, but Steven made this process so easy. He constantly sent updates and pics and in all the pics my Mac looked so happy. I will definitely be booking with Steven again if needed. Highly recommend.”
“Lisa was absolutely amazing with our puppy. She’s incredibly sweet, patient, and genuinely caring—you can tell she really loves what she does. She kept us updated with photos throughout the stay, which gave us so much peace of mind, and she was always super quick to respond whenever we missed him and wanted a check-in. It made the whole experience stress-free and honestly enjoyable. We’ll 100% be booking with her again!”
“Elva was so amazing with our babies! She kept us updated with all the fun they were having without us ever needing to check in. Loved that she was just a natural at noticing all our dogs funny quirks and enjoyed their company. Appreciate you Elva!!”
“Margaret was great! Vizzy seemed to have a great time. We received adorable photos from Margaret, and Vizzy returned home from boarding and daycare happy and tired. Margaret checked in with us on his preferences and needs, and was an excellent communicator throughout his stay with her.”
About: Raised around the world and proudly served in the US Coast Guard (Honorably Discharged)from 1990-98. I’m now rooted in the Montecito Heights area for the last 20 years. I’ve never known life without a furry family member by my side. I understand how much your four-legged companion means to you. I treat every pet with the same love, safety, and respect I’d give my own. I bring hands - on experience in puppy potty training, senior pet care and bath time- having lovingly cared for our own elderly pets through every stage of life. Whether you have a brand new pup who needs a little extra patience or a seasoned senior who deserves extra TLC, your furry family member is in good hands here! I am retired and my calendar is wide open to the loving care of your four legged friend(s). I am currently working to help save money to send my daughter to college . Our home has a fence with a metal security barrier to prevent little pups from getting out and we have a yard. Our pets are safe and well loved. I will treat your furry friends the same as if they were my own- with respect and care.
“Second time booking with Donghae and just like the first time, he has done a wonderful job. I appreciate how communicative he is and also how great he is at taking care of our precious dog. I would 100% book again as needs come up.”
“We love having Catherine, Albert, and Trace take care of Walter. They treat Walter like family and share all of their toys with him. We get regular updates and never have to ask them how Walter is doing. Their backyard is absolutely beautiful and dog friendly. They take our dog on strolls around town and play fetch regularly as if he is their own. I can’t say enough about how great they are and how comfortable we are leaving Walter with them. My husband especially loves the report cards Walter gets after his stay.”
“We hadn’t taken an overseas vacation in over five years because it’s always been so hard for us to leave our dogs, and honestly, we struggled to find someone we truly trusted. But after our meet and greet with Janelle and Alvin, I immediately felt at ease and knew our babies would be in great hands. I’m so happy to say that instinct was absolutely right. They took care of our two dogs for two days, and the entire experience was seamless. Janelle was incredible with communication! She sent updates and photos regularly without me ever needing to ask, which gave me so much peace of mind while we were away. Both Janelle and Alvin have such a calm, kind demeanor, and their home is clean, cozy, and clearly a safe space for pets. One of our dogs is usually very anxious and slow to warm up to new people, but he surprised us by opening up to them right away. That alone speaks volumes. I can’t recommend them enough, and we will absolutely be booking with them again in the future! Thank you Janelle and Alvin for taking such good care of our babies!”
“I appreciate Rubin helping me last minute. I was nervous having a new pet sitter as one of my cats is very timid. He did a really good job of taking care of my cats and working with them to make them comfortable. By the second to last day, my timid cat was asking Rubin for belly rubs. He was very responsive. He is also a great photographer and will capture all the fun your cats are having. I had no worries working with him and would definitely book with him again.”
“Issak was great! I haven’t been able to successfully socialize my dog for the longest time, but Issak was able to accomplish that within 2 days of having my dog. He has a way with dogs and great charisma. I definitely recommend him.”
“Amazing experience for Ace (120lb Pitbull) first time away from his parents. Cara would update us throughout the day with video and photo, which help ease our worries. She is very sincere and kind. Ace first time staying with a dog sitter and he loved it. Would definitely use her again.”
“Eric took wonderful care of my dog for two days. He was very caring, attentive, and professional. Everything was clean and well organized, and I could tell my dog was happy and comfortable during the stay. Eric kept me updated, which gave me great peace of mind. I truly appreciate his kindness and dedication. I highly recommend Eric to anyone looking for a trustworthy and responsible dog sitter. Thank you, Eric!”
“Absolute best Rover! We love having our dog stay with Shimin. We receive lots of pictures and video updates, and Ziggy comes home happy and tired from all the fun she has”
“Penny loves her stays with Sandra and Bao Bao. I know that she is in good hands and I have the comfort of knowing that she treats Penny as if she were her own. Sandra always responds quickly to any concerns I have and keeps me posted with daily activities.”
