“Hershey had a wonderful time staying with Nayira and her family! We were updated daily with her well being and all the pics showed all smiles. Would reach out again for future sitting needs as I am happy with the care, communication, and enrichment our Hershey received during our time away.”
“Ryan and Abbey were wonderful with Oreo!! They updated me on how he was doing, which was so nice! The communication was great - very easy and responsive! When I picked Oreo up, he looked very comfortable at their home, which is so reassuring to me. A home away from home for your dog!! Thank you, Abbey and Ryan!!”
“Thank you Barbara for taking such great care of Gus and for keeping us up to date with all the photos! We enjoyed our time away knowing he was in such good hands. Thank you Whiskey for sharing your space and being such a good pal, we hope to see you again.”
“I was so appreciative of how flexible Renata was in regards to dropping off and picking up with last minute changes. She watched my pup over a holiday week and took such great care of him! I would definitely recommend her to anyone and look forward to using her again in the future!”
“Our dogs stayed with Annabelle & Ben for one night as a trial before our longer, upcoming trip. Everything went really smoothly and we appreciated their communication with frequent updates and pictures on how they were doing.”
“Abby had a great time! Her first stay went so well that we brought her back the following week and she ran right up to the door with her tail wagging! She was so happy to be back. It was an excellent experience for both stays so there will definitely be more!”
“Julieth and her family went above and beyond to make sure our dogs were cared for and had a great time. Their dogs got along great with mine and I could tell that had a great time by how tired they were when they got home. I can’t recommend them enough, your pups will be in great hands!”
“I am a first-time user of Rover and was nervous about leaving Parker for the first time but he was definitely in good hands. Ashton and Jay were extremely helpful and were so kind and sent me pictures and updates during Parker's stay. I am extremely grateful to have found them!”
“Heaven was such a friendly and openly caring sitter since the first booking exchange. She was willing to accommodate my little boy last minute and was very attentive, communicative and caring of Charly since the initial booking process, to the stay to the very last second of pick up. Your fur babies will be in trusting-caring hands with Heaven”
“Chris always takes great care of our Hoagie and makes him feel right at home! And excellent communicator who always sends me pictures when I’m missing my boy. Very grateful for his services!”
“Laura is a wonderful sitter who was great with our dog when we had a trip. She communicated clearly and often, and was very attentive to all our needs. I mentioned that our dog didn’t get along with other dogs, and she was ready to adapt to than on their walks. I highly recommend booking with her!”
“Joanna could not have been more kind and accommodating. My Daisy is with me all the time so it takes her awhile to warm up to someone new. Daisy knew a dog lover right off the bat. I saw her instantly bond with Joanna. I received photos all the time, and next time I need boarding, I will contact Joanna.”
“Sean was amazing with Theo while we were away for the week. He’s so caring, sent lots of great photos, and even brought him swimming (Theo’s favorite!) and bathed him after! Thank you for caring for our little guy - he can be difficult the first time somewhere new and you were incredible. 🙌🏼”
About: Hello. I’m Karina, and caring for animals has been a central part of my life for many years. In addition to caring for dogs and cats, I have extensive experience working with horses, including high-performance equine athletes. That background has taught me to be calm, observant, consistent, and attentive to each animal’s individual personality and needs. I understand that every pet is different. Some want an energetic walk, while others simply need a consistent routine, patience, and companionship. My priority is making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for with me. I specialize in reliable weekday lunchtime dog walks and drop-in visits in the Encino area, making me a great fit for busy professionals who want consistent, dependable care. I also offer cat drop-in visits and limited boarding for dogs that are friendly with my own well-socialized dog and cat. You’ll receive updates and photos during every visit so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family! Pet care is something I intentionally build into my weekly routine. I provide consistent weekday lunchtime walks and drop-in visits, making me a great fit for busy professionals who want dependable care while they’re at work. My schedule also allows me to offer weekend boarding and pet care by arrangement. I enjoy having a routine that lets me give each pet my full attention and provide reliable, consistent care. Boarding dogs stay in my home as part of the family, with plenty of attention, exercise, and a consistent routine. I have a secure balcony and easy access to a large grassy area for potty breaks and fresh air. Depending on each dog’s personality and energy level, we can enjoy walks in my quiet condo complex or explore the dog-friendly neighborhood nearby. I only accept dogs that are a good fit for my home and my own friendly, well-socialized dog, so everyone stays safe, relaxed, and happy. My goal is to provide a calm, comfortable environment where your dog feels at home while you’re away. With your permission, I’m also happy to take well-trained dogs on special outings, such as nature trails or to the horse facilities where I spend time, for additional exercise and enrichment when appropriate.
“they are wonderful! really nice people who loves pets and it shows :) they took really good care of my senior pup and she loves them too! they always keep me updated with lots and lots of photos and videos which I absolutely love :)”
“If I could leave more than 5 stars for Jolie, I would, she’s gives a genuine love to my babies while we are away. She made sure to give me an update everyday. And she’s very flexible. I can tell that my furry babies had a great time with her and I’m confident and rest assured that my babies are in good hands whenever we are away. She even gave a hug to both of my babies when we picked them up! Thanks Jolie!”
About: I grew up with both dogs and cats and have looked after animals my whole life. I stick closely to each pet's existing routine, same feeding times, same walk schedule, same little habits, because consistency is what keeps pets calm when their owner is away. I check in on mood and behavior throughout each visit so I can flag anything unusual right away. I currently dedicate my time to caregiving and have a flexible daily schedule. I'm out for a two hour class most mornings, but my wife also works from home and can step in during that time, so your pet is never without someone there. Outside of that, I'm home the rest of the day and can adjust freely to whatever timing works best for your pet's routine. Your pet's safety and comfort come first, always. I follow feeding, walk, and medication instructions exactly as given, and I keep a close eye on behavior throughout each visit so I can catch anything unusual early. I keep things calm and consistent, since that's what helps most pets relax when their owner isn't around.
About: We love our furry guests. They are not in their normal home, so they gets extra pets and attention while they are away from home. We want to make them feel welcome. I work from home frequently, which means your pup won't be left alone for long! They'll get plenty of attention and companionship throughout the day, plus daily walks to keep them active and happy. We've created a safe and comfortable space where dogs can truly relax. Our fully fenced backyard and dog door mean your pup has free access to the indoors and outdoors all day long. The lawn is always available for bathroom breaks whenever they need it. Our resident dog, Millie, is a small and friendly girl who loves welcoming guests!
“Ziggy had a great time with Arthur & Hayley! We received lots of updates throughout the stay, and they were very communicative during the entire process. Easy decision!”

“I booked Ana to take care of my cat while I was away and it was my first time using Rover. She was very communicative, the meet and greet went well, and my cat totally trusted her off the bat. She paid close attention to detail while following my pets regular routine and my pet felt right at home while I was away. Would definitely trust Ana to take care of my cat again, she was great!”
“Zoey did an amazing job taking care of my cat Waffles. Kept me up to date with any issues and took cute photos. Highly recommend Zoey and will be using them again in the future!”
About: I grew up around cats and always felt most at ease with them nearby. I'm comfortable with cats of all personalities, from shy and independent to affectionate lap cats, handling feeding, litter box maintenance, playtime, and one-on-one attention. Last year I helped my family raise a mama cat and her kittens from birth, so I've handled everything from newborn kitten care to weaning to litter training. I move slowly and quietly around nervous cats and let them come to me rather than forcing interaction.
“Lucia took care of our cats while we were out of town and did a great job. She was quick to respond and made the entire process very easy. We definitely would recommend her.”
“Marina takes incredible care of my cats even when they had additional medical care required. They are slow to trust others but came out and interacted with her, and she updated me about how they were doing the entire time I was gone. Marina does a fantastic job!!”
“Haley is excellent with our 4 cats, one of which needs several medications. She always sends a ton of pictures which we especially appreciate on our longer trips. Thanks Haley!”
“My cat needs especial treatment due to his urinary issue. Leyla did a great job, feeding him on time with the exact instruction I asked her plus the medication. I recommend her to ALL cat's parents!”
“He was very kind and thorough with my cat. He paid close attention to all the details and asked questions. I really appreciated how careful and precise he was. Great communication and very punctual. Thank you!”
About: Before college, I had 2 dogs and a cat. One of the dogs was solely my responsibility aside from dealing with vet issues. Overall, I love making new pet friends, am fit and enjoy exercising with them, and am very adaptable to whatever you may need help with. I’m about to start a job working 35 hours a week on September 28th. At that point my only consistent availability will be Sunday and m-s after 6pm. Until then my availability is wide open! I will not be able to take your pets to my apartment because it would violate my lease. If I could, I would’ve just gotten my own pet.
About: I grew up with various types of pets including dogs, cats, rabbits, various reptiles, and birds! I am an avid animal lover and activist and enjoy meeting new furry friends. I am the type to stop what I'm doing to meet new animals out in public. I am a university student currently with only one class per day over 4 days, I will have lots of time to make sure your loved ones are safe and happy! I always make sure to be careful when opening doors as to not let animals into areas they arent supposed to be in or accidentally getting out when they shouldn't be. I am well aware of plenty of hiding places for critters to go and can intuitively find them. I am also always careful where I walk in case your buddy likes to get underfoot!
“Erika is absolutely amazing and takes such wonderful care of all our fur-kids! I have never felt so calm leaving our pups and kitties when I know they are in Erika's hands. She is just wonderful and has pet sat for us many times past and hopefully many times to come 🥰”
“Mry is very sweet , caring ,professional and thorough.. She is prompt and personable, and my 3 kitties. Casper, Jacob and Cosmo all loved her !!! Thank you Mry!! You are awesome!! Will definitely go with Mry again! She is Top Notch!”

“Daniela is absolutely amazing and took such great care of our 4 boys while we were out of the country. She was incredibly communicative and sent us tons of photos calming any nerves we had about leaving them. Daniela went above and beyond and we are beyond grateful to have met her. Cannot recommend enough and we will definitely be booking with her again.”

About: As a certified professional dog trainer, I bring more than pet care to every visit—I bring behavior expertise. Since 2015, I’ve worked with dogs of all ages, breeds, and temperaments, from energetic puppies to sensitive rescue dogs. Whether your dog needs a structured walk, help building good manners, or simply compassionate care, I focus on creating positive experiences that build trust, confidence, and lasting skills. Dogs are at the center of my daily life. My schedule is built around training sessions, walks, enrichment activities, and pet care visits. Because working with dogs is my profession, I’m able to provide reliable, attentive care and make each pet’s physical and emotional well-being a priority.

“Patty was awesome!!!! So attentive to my babies and sent a ton of photos as well! Very communicative and sweet, on time and reliable. My kitties loved her. I came home to a very clean house. I would absolutely 1000% book her services again! Thank you Patty!!!!”
About: I have been a pet sitter to several families for several years now. I have had pets my entire life, so I have experienced caring for pets at all stages of their lives. I also worked at Stray Rescue of St. Louis as a caregiver, so I am professionally trained in handling and caring for all sizes and temperaments of animals. I definitely love animals, and I love hanging out with them while their family is away to keep them entertained and comfortable. I understand that leaving your pet in the care of someone else can be unsettling and worrisome. My job is to make sure that your pets are safe and happy while you are away, and I am very good at my job.

“Renata did an amazing job taking care of my 16 year old pug, Jasper. I do Rover myself, and have high expectations about pet care. She went above and beyond to learn how to express Jasper’s bladder since he can no longer pee on his own. She sent me lots of pictures, and when I picked him up, I could tell he had a great day by the smile on his face. I will be using her boarding services next for an upcoming week long trip because I know my senior baby is in good hands.”
“Here's a review you can use: Our pup, Koala, loves her time spent at Chris’s house! She always comes back happy and well cared for. I know she’s well-loved and in excellent hands with Chris. We couldn’t ask for a better pet sitter!”

“Ryan did an amazing job taking care of my dog, Casper! When I got home, Casper was so calm and content, which is a testament to the wonderful care he received. I could tell he had the most amazing time. Ryan clearly went above and beyond to keep him happy and engaged. He was super attentive, reliable, and treated Casper like his own. I’m beyond grateful for the peace of mind I had knowing my pup was in such great hands. Highly recommend.”
“Chan Woo and Jibin are incredibly kind, patient, and communicative. I feel confident that my dog is receiving quality care while staying with them, and their communication is top-notch. Can’t recommend enough!”

About: Use my promo code for new customers on your first booking: MILENV78068. You can't miss it!🎾🧸🌈🌈 From a young age, animals have always been my passion. I grew up surrounded by dogs, cats, and all sorts of creatures, and I learned to love and care for them from a very young age. My home was always a haven for animals in need, and that experience taught me the importance of patience, dedication, and unconditional love. That passion led me to become a professional pet caregiver. For years, I've had the privilege of caring for countless animals, each with their own unique personality and needs. From playful puppies to senior pets requiring special care, I enjoy every moment I spend with them. My daughter is a veterinarian, so animals have always been part of our lives. Together, we've created a home full of love and respect for all creatures. She has taught me a lot about animal health and well-being, and that experience has been invaluable in my work as a caregiver. I take pride in offering a personalized and attentive pet care service. I understand that each animal is unique, and I strive to create a safe, comfortable, and happy environment for each one. Whether they need long walks, playtime in the park, or just a warm lap to snuggle in, I'm here to provide them with the love and attention they deserve. My approach is very home-like. Instead of a traditional kennel, I offer a family environment where your pet will feel right at home. I'm dedicated to providing them with affection, individualized attention, and all the care they need to feel safe and happy. My services are completely personalized, tailored to the specific needs of each pet. Therefore, my prices may be a bit higher, but I assure you that your furry friend will receive exceptional care and all the attention they deserve. If you're looking for a pet caregiver who will treat your furry friend like one of the family, don't hesitate to contact me. I'd be delighted to meet you and your pet!" I'm a pet caregiver who's dedicated to organizing my time to provide the best care. Contact me and schedule your appointment!! I will be very happy !! "As a pet caregiver, I make sure your furry friend feels right at home, whether it's at my place or theirs. I'll give them lots of love, play with them so they get exercise, and feed them on time. If they need any special care, like medication or anything similar, no problem! I make sure your pet is happy and healthy, so you can have peace of mind."
“Five star review! My pup had a blast and was treated so well. This is like an oasis for doggos. It was the first full day my 5 month pup has been away from both my partner and I. He whined for but a moment before he was playing with Tanya's calm lab, Shady. He usually doesn't play with bigger dogs but felt comfortable enough to do so. Yay Shady! Honestly great daycare, I can't say enough good things. I received pictures and videos throughout his stay and felt at ease knowing he was getting lots of loving. Thanks, Tanya!”
“So glad I found Brooke! My dog has a big separation anxiety but she came back happy. She sent me photos and let me know how she was doing while I was away. I feel my pup loved her and I’ll def leave my pup again when I need to!”
“Amorn and Adam were very nice. Sent lots of updates. Frida looks like she made herself right at home and had a great time. Thanks for taking her on short notice. See you next time.”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs most of my life with my family. I have experience with fostering puppies too. Currently I have one fur baby.

“Kyle is a true joy to work with. He is a top notch professional who has taken care of Randy, a very energetic 2-year old Border Collie for the past week. Kyle is punctual, courteous and a huge help to us. Randy comes home from his walk happy and tired out. Kyle is now part of our family and we look forward to many more happy times together!”
About: Hello : ) I am a stay at home parent (with school aged children) looking to help provide trusted pet care. I have a great deal of experience caring for animals. I grew up raising baby birds and caring for many a variety of animals (including many different breeds of cats and dogs). In addition to my own, I was hired to watch other family's animals, starting around age 8 (alongside my mom) and then independently around age 11. I love how different animal's personalities can be and think they bring so much joy to our busy lives! I understand how challenging it can be with busy lives/careers, to find trusted pet care. Now that my kiddos are in school, I have some flexibility and would love to help provide others with kind and reliable pet care during busy work weeks. I am looking forward to meeting and caring for your little buddies! : ) I am a stay at home parent so AM - afternoon is very flexible. Depending on requests I can make time later afternoons and evenings and weekends as well but primarily very flexible from 7-2pm I will come to your home and offer a kind hello, playtime and walk and make sure any other details you ask for are attended to.
“Lucia was excellent! She was responsive, friendly, and punctual. I hired her to take my 5 month old GSP for a walk with specific needs for timing and location, and she could not have been a better walker to ask. She was easy to communicate with and very prepared. Thank you Lucia!”
About: As a lifelong dog owner and devoted animal lover, I understand that your pets are cherished members of your family. My approach to pet care is centered on providing a calm, nurturing, and personalized experience that helps your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Having cared for dogs throughout my life, I am attentive to each pet’s unique personality, routines, and preferences. Whether your companion enjoys long walks, playtime, quiet companionship, or extra affection, I tailor my care to meet their individual needs and help maintain the consistency they are accustomed to at home. I take pride in creating a stress-free experience for both pets and their owners through reliable communication, thoughtful attention to detail, and genuine compassion. My goal is to provide the highest level of care so you can enjoy complete peace of mind knowing your beloved companion is in caring and capable hands. I look forward to building a trusted relationship with you and providing your pet with the same level of love, respect, and attention I give my own. Pet care is already a natural part of my daily life. I work from home, which allows me to be present and attentive throughout the day. My own dog and I enjoy at least four walks around the neighborhood every day, providing plenty of exercise, fresh air, and enrichment. In addition to our daily walks, we go hiking several times a week, and I have a secure fenced courtyard where pets can safely relax, explore, and enjoy time outdoors in the sunshine. Because I am home-based, I can easily accommodate feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, companionship, and any special routines your pet may have. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and strive to create a calm, loving environment where they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. I care for every pet as if they were my own, with a focus on safety, comfort, routine, and plenty of affection. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, preferences, and daily schedule so they can feel as relaxed and secure as possible while their family is away. In my home, pets receive regular walks, supervised outdoor time in my fenced courtyard, playtime, companionship, and lots of love and attention throughout the day. Because I work from home, I am able to provide a calm presence and ensure pets are not left alone for extended periods. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I strive to maintain their normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, exercise, medication (if needed), and any special instructions. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they can have peace of mind knowing their pet is happy, safe, and well cared for. My goal is always to create a positive, stress-free experience where pets feel loved, comfortable, and cared for, whether they are staying with me or I am caring for them in their own home.
“Nicola has been reliable, communicative, kind, and flexible. He is so patient with our pup and she very much looks forward to each and every walk. I truly couldn’t ask for a better dog walker.”
“In the past three weeks or so, Mry has been walking my dog every morning. Since my chocolate lab cannot write the review ( she can do most everything else..) let me just describe my dog’s reaction to Mry: excited anticipation prior to her arrival and a happy “smile” on her face upon returning from her walk! As for me, I cannot say enough about Mry’s Professional and pleasant attitude. She is punctual, tailors the walks to my dog’s ability and daily wants. The daily reports I get from Mry are not the mundane ones but a true and detailed description of my dog’s activities (sniffing, slow or energetic, tired etc.). In short, I recommend Mry in the highest possible terms!”
About: Hi, I’m Sofia—I’m currently working from home as a graphic designer. I’m a life-long dog owner with years of experience caring for pets of all ages and personalities. I’m patient, reliable, and great with shy or cautious animals. I’ll make sure your furry (or feathered!) friend feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Bonus—I’m also an illustrator, so let me know and I can draw your pet as a little keepsake! I’m currently working part-time and remotely so I have a flexible schedule to be there for your pets! I’m happy to accommodate and discuss how I can be of service. I follow your home’s rules and your pet’s care instructions closely to make sure they feel safe and you feel confident. I always double-check gates, locks, and am extra careful when opening doors. I keep a close eye on curious noses and paws—whether that means keeping terriers out of the trash or making sure no one snacks on mystery items during walks. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities!

About: Hi! I’m Linda, a dependable and caring dog walker who understands how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your furry family member in someone else’s care. I have over 12 years of experience as a caregiver, where patience, responsibility, safety, and following routines have always been important. I’m also CPR certified and take pride in being reliable, attentive, and respectful of each family’s individual needs. I love being outdoors and would enjoy giving your dog a safe and enjoyable walk where they can get some exercise, fresh air, and plenty of attention. I understand that every dog has their own personality and comfort level, so I take the time to build trust and make each walk a positive experience. I’m currently focusing on dog walking and starting with small and medium-sized dogs as I continue to build experience with different breeds and personalities. I’m also comfortable with senior dogs, as I personally have a senior Chihuahua who I’ve had since 2011. Having cared for my own senior dog over the years, I understand that older pets may need a slower pace, extra patience, and a little more attention to their comfort and needs. You can expect good communication, punctuality, and updates after your dogs walk. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your dog is being cared for with kindness and attention while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! I’m a stay-at-home mom, and my children are currently in school, so I have a pretty flexible schedule during the day. Dog walking is a great way for me to stay active, busy, and spend time with dogs, which I really enjoy. I currently offer dog walking only. During each walk, I’ll make sure your dog is safe, comfortable, and gets plenty of exercise and attention. I’ll also follow any instructions you leave for me.
