“Selien was great with communication - scheduled a meet in advance to make sure it was a good fit. her setup is so comfortable and secure for dogs, i felt that Kimba would be well taken care of and have plenty of play, walks and coziness while i was away for the week. will definitely book again when i leave town or need a daycare backup.”

“Karen clearly loves animals. Our dog, Bailey, was easily incorporated into the household with photos taken, exercised and played with. We would use her again.”

“Bill and his family took amazing care of my dog. My dog has a lot of energy but I can tell they spent a lot of time with him and he enjoyed his time playing in their yard. I would definitely recommend and request for him to watch my dog again.”

“Michael took very good care of my 10 week old Lab. Such a short notice to. I am very greatfull and will use his service any other time that we might need. Thank you Michael! 😊”

“Angelica and her daughter are so wonderful! My Brownie apparently was so well behaved but I thank that in part to her being kept so busy 😆 They had nothing but wonderful things to say about her. She gave me photo updates of Brownie so I can rest assured. They did everything that was asked for her routine and lots of love and attention. I highly reccommed her services. Thank you so much again. Definitely will be back.”

“Albina was awesome,and helpful at short notice. This was my first time getting a sitter for Luna and I was really worried and sad to have her gone. Albina really helped me feel more at ease,and I really appreciatef that.”

“Our boy Leo had an absolute fantastic time with Joyce and her roommate Yu! We loved getting so many photos and videos twice a day! We got so many cute photos of Leo smiling and playing with their 2 other doggies - it felt like our boy was on vacation while we were too! We felt reassured from all the photos that Leo was enjoying his stay and treated with so much love and care! We have definitely found our forever dog sitters!”

“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!”

“Margaret is an incredibly kind, loving and generous dog-sitter! She watched our sweet but timid boy for a week during the holiday season (thank you for your availability! We were concerned that no one would be able to watch him during that busy time) and took such great care of him. She walked him in the pouring rain, bought him treats and gifts, and even took the most adorable pictures of him in holiday gear. She texts updates and pictures several times and day and responds to texts immediately. She treats all the dogs she cares for as if they are her own. You won't find a sweeter person to leave your baby with. Thank you for giving us such comfort and peace of mind!”

“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.”

“My senior pup Benji loved staying with Irina! She sent lots of really cute photos during his stay and was able to accommodate his medication and frozen food requests. Thank you so much!”

“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.”

“Julianne took great care of my extra large dog. Her house is set up for dogs to be comfortable and clean. I would definitely recommend her and use her again.”
“We booked Hilary last minute because our usual sitter became unavailable. We had a trip to Italy planned, and I was so stressed to leave Pebbles somewhere new while being out of the country, but HILARY WAS AMAZING!! We fell in love with the way she cared for Pebbles instantly. She had no problem with her feeding times, walks, crate needs, and even eye medication. She sent us SO MANY fun and cute pictures of Pebbles while we were out of the country that I felt super reassured. She was flexible with the pick up time (we know how LAX can be), and even willing to take an additional emergency contact while we were out of country. Honestly, we couldn’t have asked for anyone kinder, more loving, or more communicative. I will definitely request her again, and I am so glad Pebbles found a temporary home there. Thank you for everything!”

“Paul went above and beyond our expectations! Such an incredible doggy sitter! Winston was definitely loved while he stayed with Paul. Paul did a great job with constant communication and kept us updated regularly with pics. We will definitely be using him again. Any dog would be lucky to be in his care!”

“Thank you so much for taking such amazing care of my dog! You’re truly the best pet sitter I’ve ever met. Your kind communication, daily photo updates, and thoughtful reports gave me total peace of mind. You fed him well, took him for walks, and played with him at the park whenever you could. I really appreciate your care and dedication. I’ll definitely be rebooking with you next time!”


“Kimberly was a great sitter! She was very responsive to our questions, and made sure to send us plenty of pictures of the puppy. He came home tired from a barrel full of fun!”

“This was Coco’s first time staying with a sitter, so I was really nervous and worried. Thankfully, Jing sent tons of updates with photos throughout the day which completely put my mind at ease. She responds incredibly fast whenever you message her. We will definitely be using Jing again.”

“We really appreciated Lisa (and her family’s) care for our dog Kunga! She was flexible with pick-up and drop-off times and sent updates. Kunga loved her time there. Would totally leave Kunga with Lisa again.”

“I highly recommend Janice! She sends frequent updates so you know your pet is doing well. It was very clear by the videos she sent that my dog was feeling very comfortable, as she was acting playful and silly, which she only does if she truly trusts someone. I was able to relax on my trip knowing my dog was happy and well cared for! Thank you Janice!”

She sent me the most adorable photos while I was traveling and missing my baby. She’s so sweet and considerate and genuinely loving with pets. Highly recommend✨❤️❤️”


“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.”

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.
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.

“Emily was fantastic! This was my first time booking through Rover and Emily made sure it was a great experience. She really went above and beyond to care for my cat, and I would gladly have her cat-sit again.”

“Hannah is amazing! My wife and I were new to Rover and a little nervous to book through an app but it’s been such a relief to find Hannah. She came to our home, fed/watered our cats, cleaned their litter boxes and sent us photos to reassure us while away. They were very well looked after and happy when we returned. Communication has been so open, quick and easy. I can’t recommend them and their services highly enough.”

“Sahirah did a fantastic job watching my fur babies while I was out of town. We did a meet and greet before the actual booking so she could meet my little monsters. During the booking she sent me updates and pictures which are always appreciated since I miss my babies when I’m away. She even got my shy boy Cat to come out from hiding, which is a huge accomplishment!! Would recommend her and hope to book her in the future!!!”


“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!!”


“Limari is a kind, compassionate animal caregiver with a knack for connecting with all personalities. She is reliable and stays in touch-she has two new friends in my shy feline children. We look forward to seeing her again.”


About: I have taken care of cats since I was a young teenager. I currently have a five year-old female tuxedo cat. I also just rescued a 10 week old female kitten they both get along my first baby, Pudge, a 13 year-old Pomeranian mix. He takes care of them both. I enjoy caring for both dogs and cats.
“Sylvia was fantastic, and I have nothing but awesome things to say. My girlfriend and I were a bit nervous at first about using Rover and Sylvia immediately made us feel comfortable. She took tremendous care of our cat, Gummy Bear, who grew to like Sylvia and feel comfortable with her. Wholeheartedly recommend using Sylvia for your pet sitting needs!!”


“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!”

“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”

“Selien is a kind and gentle puppy sitter! Her place is magical for our puppy Ghibli! We felt at ease and Ghibli is so happy when she comes back from Selien’s place. When I pick her up, the way Ghibli’s says bye to her is how I can tell she loves Selien. I’m like chopped liver for a bit while Ghibli says goodbye lol”

“Julianne was very supportive, as it was my first time using this service. Her property is clean, and my dogs immediately felt comfortable with her. When I picked them up, they were very happy and I appreciated the trust and care that I experienced as a dog owner. Thank you!”
About: I have always had multiple cats since I was 10 years old and have 8 years of experience volunteering for cat and dog rescues! I currently have 6 cats and a husky/malamute mix, all rescues. Most recently, I fostered 2 husky/shepherd puppies and even puppy-proofed my yard for them to have more space to run around and play. In previous years, I have had a negative experience with having friends watch my pets, so I understand how important it is to find the right pet sitter. Pets are our children and should be treated as such. I would be honored to give your baby the best possible care and lots of love and attention! I am a full time dog and cat mom that works seasonally in entertainment, so my schedule is completely open for whatever you need! My dog gets 2 walks a day with potty breaks every 4 hours, even in the middle of the night. My cats receive a mix of dry and wet food twice a day with their water changed and litter scooped daily and plenty of cuddle time. I have a large fenced yard in a safe, suburban neighborhood for your dogs to play in. My home has multiple large rooms with cat trees and cat shelves that can be kept as a private oasis for your cat or cats if they are to stay with me.
“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.”

“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”

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.

“Magdalena is an exceptional doggie dare care provider. I reached out to her because my office is requiring that I now come in after 4 years of work from home. I was nervous that my 10-year-old corgi with various health issues would not be enthused about the change, but he LOVES going to Magdalena's house where he is showered with affection all day long. Magdalena sends pictures and videos and updates throughout the day, and my little guy looks ecstatically happy. She is truly the best. I highly recommend her.”

“Sylvia is the best!! Her home is a doggy dream with lots of comfy outdoor and covered space. Two lovely dogs that get along with mine great and I always get lots of updates about how everyone is doing together. My dog comes home happy and tired every week! Thank you ☺️☺️”

I will treat your furry friends the same as if they were my own- with respect and care.

About: I love animals and being around them is a true pleasure and privilege. I can't wait to meet your babies and take care of them!

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.

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!
“Jana is the best! Gordy has a lot of energy but also tuckers out quick, she's great at observing where he's at and going gentle when he needs it but also reving up when he can use it”

About: My whole life I’ve been surrounded by dogs. From growing up with 3 of them to taking care of my sisters when she got her own I’ve always loved doing it. I’m a huge animal lover, patient and excited to help take care of furry friends! Right now my schedules very free and I couldn’t imagine a better way to fill it than spending it with animals. I love to travel and drive and meet new people, animals or just try new things! I’ve always been a very sensitive and caring pet carer who turns to the owner first with questions. I don’t take how a pet is raised into my own hands but I make sure to provide them with a lot of care.
About: I have experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, from young puppies and kittens to senior pets. I'm comfortable with daily pet care responsibilities, including feeding, cleaning up after pets, maintaining a safe and sanitary environment, administering oral medications and flea treatments, and providing plenty of attention and companionship. What sets me apart is my hands-on experience with a wide variety of pets and situations. I've even assisted pregnant dogs and cats during labor and birth, which has taught me to stay calm, attentive, and responsive when animals need extra care. I'm also always eager to learn and expand my experience with other types of animals. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while giving pet owners peace of mind. I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of time to dedicate to pet care and ensure pets receive the attention they deserve. I have a flexible schedule and can often accommodate a variety of care needs, including walks, and drop-in visits. I'm also available on weekends, making it easier to provide care when many pet owners need it most. I do my best to work with each pet owner's schedule and provide reliable, consistent care. At this time, I am unable to host pets in my apartment, but I have experience caring for friends' and family members' pets in their own homes. When caring for pets, I make it a priority to maintain a clean, safe, and comfortable environment where they can relax, play, and feel secure. I carefully follow each pet owner's instructions regarding feeding, medication, exercise, and daily routines to help pets feel as comfortable as possible while their owners are away. I treat every home with respect and every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they receive attentive care, companionship, and a safe environment at all times.

I usually take care of my own dog before 11am, after that, I'm free to help out with yours! I live in an apartment so I take my dog out for a walk 3+ times a day. We welcome a small, dog-friendly pup to come hang out with us. My dog is super spoiled, so I've ensured that my place is safe, comfortable, and full of doggie amenities that your dog is free to enjoy as well.
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.
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.
About: I have taken care of all kinds of dogs: big, small, puppy, older. If your furry friend needs special accommodations, I'll be happy to help too! I am free most of the day and applying for a 9-5 job. I do this for fun since I love dog/cats, they bring me peace. I housesit and it always involves caring for cats and dogs. My mother is a housekeeper, and when I finish helping her at work, I always walk the dogs at the home she is cleaning for fun!

“Karen clearly loves animals. Our dog, Bailey, was easily incorporated into the household with photos taken, exercised and played with. We would use her again.”

“Bill and his family took amazing care of my dog. My dog has a lot of energy but I can tell they spent a lot of time with him and he enjoyed his time playing in their yard. I would definitely recommend and request for him to watch my dog again.”

“Michael took very good care of my 10 week old Lab. Such a short notice to. I am very greatfull and will use his service any other time that we might need. Thank you Michael! 😊”

“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!”

“Margaret is an incredibly kind, loving and generous dog-sitter! She watched our sweet but timid boy for a week during the holiday season (thank you for your availability! We were concerned that no one would be able to watch him during that busy time) and took such great care of him. She walked him in the pouring rain, bought him treats and gifts, and even took the most adorable pictures of him in holiday gear. She texts updates and pictures several times and day and responds to texts immediately. She treats all the dogs she cares for as if they are her own. You won't find a sweeter person to leave your baby with. Thank you for giving us such comfort and peace of mind!”

“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.”

“Julianne took great care of my extra large dog. Her house is set up for dogs to be comfortable and clean. I would definitely recommend her and use her again.”
“Thank you so much for taking such amazing care of my dog! You’re truly the best pet sitter I’ve ever met. Your kind communication, daily photo updates, and thoughtful reports gave me total peace of mind. You fed him well, took him for walks, and played with him at the park whenever you could. I really appreciate your care and dedication. I’ll definitely be rebooking with you next time!”

“We really appreciated Lisa (and her family’s) care for our dog Kunga! She was flexible with pick-up and drop-off times and sent updates. Kunga loved her time there. Would totally leave Kunga with Lisa again.”

“Elva is great. She took good care of my dog and is very responsive. She genuinely cares about the wellbeing of pets and I would always go back to her if I need someone who I can trust to look after my dog.”
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.
“Thank you so much for taking amazing care of Katsu! I loved seeing him enjoy himself on various adventures & listening to piano :) The updates were constant & comprehensive and I felt so safe having Katsu with you. Definitely would book again!”
“Albert, Cat, and Trey were so lovely to work with! They were very responsive and provided me with plenty of updates and photos. Trey and Lola seemed to be fast friends and were "patrolling" the (gated) back yard together when I arrived to pick her up. They treated Lola like family and ensured that Lola got her AM/PM medications. They even sent her home with an adorable little report card that I hung up on the fridge because it sparks joy. It's always scary when having to leave your pet somewhere and I'm immensely grateful for them for treating Lola so well and giving her love in my absence. Many thanks from the bottom of my heart <3”


About: I have taken care of pets for the last 20 years. I have been a house dog sitter for two German shepherds. I have also taken care of a tiny dogs while’s I’ve done babysitting and house sitting while owners are away on trips. I ha a 13 year old Pommix (my first baby). He has 2 kitten sisters (5yrs and 3 months). I recently retired from teaching elementary school for 30 years and would love to spend more time caring for furbabies 🥰. I would enjoy dropping in to play or walk pets and board pets on my home. I am a retired teacher. I spent 30 years in the classroom. I would like to work part-time caring for pets, walking them, as well as pet sitting when their parents are away. I have a fenced in yard so dogs can run and play. I also have a patio being built on my porch for cats who like the outside. My neighborhood is a perfect place to walk dogs as well as stroll cats in their cat stroller.
“Liridona was super communicative and sweet. I place a ton of value in communication and she was top notch. We will 100% absolutely rebook the next time we need someone to take care of our doggy!”

“Cara was wonderful with catsitting Watson. Watson was typically shy and he was willing to sit on Cara's lap and hang out with her. She sent many photogenic shots of Watson lounging around. I would recommend again!”

“Shu Ting took great care of my dog - pitbull mix- trimmed her nails and sent me a lot of photos though out the stay. Will definitely leave my pet with her again, she has a nice backyard and my dog was able to play with other doggies which was great for her. Many thanks and great appreciation for the care that she gave my pet!”

About: I have always had multiple cats since I was 10 years old and have 8 years of experience volunteering for cat and dog rescues! I currently have 6 cats and a husky/malamute mix, all rescues. Most recently, I fostered 2 husky/shepherd puppies and even puppy-proofed my yard for them to have more space to run around and play. In previous years, I have had a negative experience with having friends watch my pets, so I understand how important it is to find the right pet sitter. Pets are our children and should be treated as such. I would be honored to give your baby the best possible care and lots of love and attention! I am a full time dog and cat mom that works seasonally in entertainment, so my schedule is completely open for whatever you need! My dog gets 2 walks a day with potty breaks every 4 hours, even in the middle of the night. My cats receive a mix of dry and wet food twice a day with their water changed and litter scooped daily and plenty of cuddle time. I have a large fenced yard in a safe, suburban neighborhood for your dogs to play in. My home has multiple large rooms with cat trees and cat shelves that can be kept as a private oasis for your cat or cats if they are to stay with me.
About: I had an English Cocker Spaniel growing up, as well as a Miniature Schnauzer that lives back in Russia with my parents, who is now 17 years old! :) I lived with a Shiba Inu for the first few months of his life and know their personality really well. I always happily take care of my friends’ dogs when they’re away. I have extensive experience with Spaniels, Miniature Schnauzers, Cavapoos, Shiba Inu, Dalmatians and others, as you may see in the photos. I work from home, 8-4 PST, Monday to Friday, and happy to keep a dog company while at it - he’ll do the same for me! I live in an apartment, no yard, I’d never leave the dog out of sight. While on a walk, the dog would always be on a leash.
