“Lucero is great! She took my last minute booking, and followed my instructions to take care of my pop! Sent thorough updates multiple times a day, and tons of photos and videos. Gonna book again next week! Thanks!”
“Jennifer was awesome! She was available to watch our dog within a weeks notice and took such good care of him 😀 sent tons of photos and updates. We felt super comfortable and safe knowing our dog was in good hands. Highly recommend using Jennifer if you ever need a sitter in the area. 10/10 ⭐️⭐️”
“Our dog Clementine had an amazing time staying with Carmen and her dog Cathy for six nights. Carmen’s genuine love and attentiveness toward dogs really stood out—she cared for Clementine as if she were her own. I truly appreciated the daily updates, which gave me so much peace of mind knowing Clementine was happy and well cared for. Carmen even went the extra mile by introducing her to fun puzzles and healthy treats. It was clear Clementine felt right at home, and I’m sure she’d be more than happy to stay with Carmen again.”
“Ryan treated my pup so well! I gave detailed instructions on how to help care for his eyes (he can’t see well and gets eye build-up) and he came back exactly how I left him, perfectly clean. My pup sometimes gets anxiety diarrhea at a new sitter, but he didn’t have that at all when I got him back! Daily updates were great. I will definitely be booking again.”
About: I am the kind of person who'll always find a pet to pet or coo over no matter where I am; I always volunteer to watch my friends' animal friends when they can't because they're so freakin' cute. Throughout my life I or my family have had some pets, from hamsters to cats to dogs (and big ones!), so I know how to treat animals well and how to care for them. I love taking dogs to the park and run with them, play, and give them treats, but I'm careful not to spoil them too much no matter how much I want to. I know when they need to get their energy out and when to chill, when to give them personal attention and if they need a firm (but appropriate!) discipline. It will be a mutual love at first sight ! :D I freelance and have a flexible schedule. I don't always know which days but I usually will be able to tell at min 1-2 days in advance. I'm also generally available weekends. I cater to each dog. I have the friendliest dog of my own to hang with yours so I'm well versed in dog care. We love walks and hikes and hangs, either at home or backyard or beach! If a crate is required that's not a problem. I like to casually supervise them while letting them play and run around if close supervision isn't necessary.
“Bambi had a great stay with Andrew’s family! We are very happy with the experience and our dog is a lot less stressed than when he typically goes to the daycare/boarding. Andrew also sends many updates throughout the stay which is great to know. Highly recommend!”
“I can't say enough great things about Ellie! She cared for a recent rescue when I had to go out of town for a few days. She made my girl feel right at home and sent regular pics and videos which made me feel confident about her care from start to finish. When she found a couple of fleas on my put during her stay, she was so calm and helpful working with me from afar to take care of it. When my flight was delayed coming home, she even agreed to care for my pup until I could get back to town. Will definitely rebook with Ellie again!”
“Kimberley is the best!! She kept my kitty in a smaller space so that she can acclimate better to the new location and would slowly expose my kitty to other pets if there’s any. Kimberley is very responsible and communicative. Will definitely book with her again!!”
“Thank you Rosario and Ryan for another wonderful stay🥰 It was Bisco’s first overnight stay with them, and she sometimes doesn’t eat because she can get a little nervous/anxious at a stranger’s house, but she ate her meal with them just fine. Thank you for providing a clean, warm, comfortable, and safe space for Bisco🙏🏻 Will book again and highly recommend for other fur parents!”
“We had a great experience with Jamie. Our girl felt right at home with her, and it was clear she was in great hands. Jamie kept us updated throughout the stay, which gave us peace of mind during our trip. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Elizabeth is the best!!! Very knowledgable in training and an expert at having fun. Sent pictures and videos playing fetch, going on walks, and cuddling. I highly recommend her for boarding.”
“Alicia was great taking care of my golden retriever.Rilee. she kept me up-to-date with photos and texts and was extremely responsive. I highly recommend her.”
“Roxy is a trusting sitter that we love leaving Doug with for both short and long visits. He enjoys her yard and gets so much play time and attention. We appreciate the ample photos and updates we get, too!”
“This was my first time using Rover.com and using a petsitter and I had an outstanding experience. Jess and Max were the PERFECT sitters for my needs and exceeded all expectations! I only wish I could give them 10 stars! They are the sweetest couple and so professional in their service and communication. It is obvious that they love dogs and petsitting and they immediately put both me and my dog at ease. I have a pampered little pooch who needs special food and a lot of attention, and they made every effort to accommodate her needs. I love that they watch only 1 dog at a time and were able to give all of their love and attention to my little fur baby. They sent daily photos and updates and made me feel reassured that everything was going well. At the end of the stay my little pooch was very content and well cared for. I HIGHLY recommend Jess and Max and will definitely use them again. A+++++++++++”
“Natalia is amazing! My dog Maki has stayed with her twice and she is my go to now. She sends so many updates and pays so much attention to details and instructions. I would highly recommend her to anyone”
“I had the best experience with Brittany! I was really nervous to leave my dog for so many days because it was his first time being boarded, but Brittany made the whole thing so seamless. Her communication was great and she sent plenty of pictures. She did great with giving my dog his daily meds and gave me so much peace of mind while I was gone. I Highly recommend!!❤️”
“Mia is an experienced dog sitter who understands how to read dog behavior and appropriately separates dogs in her home when they are left alone until the dogs get to know each other. Mia sends many photo updates, and we felt reassured our dog was happy and safe. Because Mia supervises potentially more than 1 dog at a time, we recommend her home boarding for dogs who are well socialized and do not have severe separation anxiety. Our furbaby returned to us happy with tail wags!”
“Romeo had a great time with Tim and Andrea! Their consistency with walks and play time made me very comfortable leaving my pup w them. And I especially loved getting a picture of Romeo everyday while I was away. Thanks again!!”
“Mahita is a very caring and responsible person. She took Poby on walks around the neighborhood. This was our second time with her, and Poby was so excited to see her again. I would highly recommend her for pet sitting. She does a great job, and your pets will love her too.”
“Colin was a great choice. He provided regular updates and photos throughout her stay, which we really appreciated. Our dog can be a handful at times, but he handled her energetic personality with ease. She came back calm and happy, so we know she had a great experience with him. We definitely plan to book with him again!”

“Betteena saved my cat’s life. Truly. What was supposed to be routine pet sitting turned into a medical emergency for one of my cats while I was away, and I genuinely do not know what I would have done without her. My cat Harley became seriously ill, and she immediately stepped in without hesitation. She was flexible, updating her visits and adjusting her schedule around my cat’s medication needs. She monitored him constantly, administered medications, cleaned up after his accidents, and kept me updated nonstop. She didn’t just “watch” my pets. She saved Harley as if he were her own. In one of the most stressful moments imaginable, she stayed calm, proactive, compassionate, and unbelievably attentive. She noticed every detail, acted quickly, and handled everything with so much care and urgency. Because of her, Harley got help when he needed it most. I truly believe she saved his life. On top of all of that, she still made sure my other cat was equally loved, comforted, and cared for. My home was immaculate, communication was constant, and I never once questioned whether my pets were safe in her hands. Finding someone you trust with your animals is rare. Finding someone who loves and protects them as fiercely as you do is almost impossible. She is that person. I will forever be booking Betteena and recommending her to every pet parent I know. If you are lucky enough to book her, do it immediately. There are not enough stars, words, or thank-yous in the world for what she did for my family. Harley and I will forever be grateful.”
“Highly recommend Jennifer! She is very communicative and did an amazing job checking in on my cat. We did a meet and greet and I could instantly tell she knew cats very well and my kitty warmed up to her fast. While I was away, Jennifer was timely and left lots of details. I could tell my kitty was well loved. I will be rebooking Jennifer for other trips again!”
“Mutsumi was great! She was very responsive and my cat loved her. She sent pictures and videos and gave my cat ample play and treat time. Definitely would book again. :)”
About: over the past couple of years i’ve been caring for dogs through house sitting and daily routines, including through trusted housesitters. i tend to pick up quickly on what each dog needs to feel comfortable and settled. i’m very attentive and don’t rush through walks. i’ve also handled more involved feeding routines — including preparing fresh meals — so i’m detail-oriented and reliable when it comes to following specific instructions. i’m most comfortable with dogs who have a basic level of leash training and respond well to guidance, and i bring a calm, steady presence to every walk. my schedule is very flexible; i’m available for walks throughout the day or at night. happy to adapt to your routine to keep things consistent. when caring for dogs on walks, i prioritize clear communication and pay close attention to surroundings — including other dogs, traffic, and anything that could cause stress or distraction. i follow any instructions closely and i’d absolutely be respectful of your space and make sure your dog is returned safely and settled after each walk.
“This was our second time working with Laura when we needed a cat sitter during our vacation. She sends lots of pictures, and our cats are happy and healthy when we get home. It's a pleasure working with her!”
“Dierdra was phenomenal! She did a better job than anyone else that’s ever watched our cats including friends and family. She was very accommodating to our requests when we forgot something and really got to know our pets and spent time with them. I also appreciated that she took pictures of the things she did - for example, the scooped litter box which gave us extra piece of mind while we were away.”
About: I have lots of experience caring for dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, and following specific care instructions. I understand the importance of keeping pets safe, happy, and on their regular routine. As an active and reliable person, I enjoy giving dogs plenty of exercise, attention, and affection while their owners are away. I am currently not working so I have plenty of time to pop in for a home visit and take your of your furry friends! Safety and comfort are my top priorities when caring for pets. I make sure pets have fresh water, follow feeding schedules, provide plenty of exercise and attention, and carefully follow any instructions provided by the owner. In clients’ homes, I treat their space with respect, keep things clean and organized, and provide regular updates so owners can feel confident their pets are receiving the best care possible.
“Anya was great looking after my fish while I was out of town for 3 weeks! She helped check my automatic feeder and performed weekly water changes. I appreciated how Anya sent pictures and written updates on how they were doing for my peace of mind. She also gave great tips on how to better care for my orchid and watered my house plants. Her pet and educational background is super cool also!”
“Alexandra was great with my two cats! one requires an inhaler and she had no problem wrangling her for treatment. She was very good about giving each cat what they needed. One is very into play time while the other is all about the cuddles! I felt very confident leaving her with them and will definitely be booking with her again in the future.”
“Sarah was wonderful. She accepted a last minute overnight stay with our 10 month old cat. Sarah sent pictures to us and updates on feedings too which was very much appreciated. We had a very happy cat upon our return home?”
“Harvest is awesome! My flight got delayed and she came by again on short notice to come see my kitty. I can tell my cat loves her. Harvest is the best. I’ve even sent her info to my other friends who need cat sitters. Highly recommend her!”
“Chieh was responsive, responsible, and very accommodating. She followed my instructions/requests perfectly and provided great updates and photos. Highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs!”
“We can’t recommend Allison highly enough! We have three cats, each with different dietary needs, and feeding them can be a bit of a production — Allison followed all our instructions and even gave us some new tricks for getting our picky eaters to finish more of their food. She always stayed the full 30 minutes, sent tons of great photos, and is also just a lovely person. Book her!”
“Annalisa saved our holiday trip when the original sitter we booked on Rover cancelled hours before she was scheduled to come. She was able to care for our cat at the last minute and was very communicative and sweet - sent photos and updates each visit. Thank you SO much Annalisa!”
“Meng is amazing! Her communication is excellent! She takes a lot of photos. She administered my cats topical Prozac for 7 days! She responds quickly! I highly highly recommend!”
“Hannah was amazing! This was my first time booking through Rover and I had to leave on short notice, so was hesitant. She responded promptly and thoroughly. She was able to see drop-in and check on Lucy the same day! Will definitely be booking with Hannah again. Highly recommend.”
About: I’ve been a cat lover for as long as I can remember — even as a kid, I’d bring home feral kittens (much to my mom’s horror!) and spend my allowance on snacks to feed the neighborhood cats. Visiting families who had cats was always the highlight of my week. As I got older, that love only grew stronger. I began volunteering with Kitten Rescue Los Angeles, where I’ve fostered cats and kittens, participated in TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) efforts, and learned so much about feline behavior, care, and health. That’s also how I met my rescue cat, Orion, who’s now 11 years old and the heart of my home. Through years of hands-on rescue work, I’ve gained experience with cats of all breeds, ages, and temperaments — from shy rescues to confident cuddle bugs. I’m skilled in administering medications and pride myself on earning the trust of even the most cautious cats. I also love keeping up with new feline research to better understand their fascinating personalities. My goal is to make every cat I care for feel safe, loved, and completely at ease while their person is away.
“Roxane was awesome! Very communicative and followed complex feeding/care instructions super well. Grateful to have someone so kind to look after Scout while I’m gone. Definitely will be booking with Roxane again :)”
“Masayo was a wonderful sitter for my cat, Cookie. She is very communicative and made sure to ask questions prior to her drop-in. I really appreciated all her updates throughout the sit. I’ll definitely book with her again!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over four years and love every minute of it! Whether it’s training playful puppies, looking after senior dogs, or just giving them lots of love and attention, I always make sure they feel happy and comfortable. Pet care fits perfectly into my flexible schedule! I have availability on both weekdays and weekends, so I can give your pets the attention and care they need whenever you need me. In my cozy apartment, I create a safe and pet-friendly space alongside my small Yorkie. I always make sure pets feel comfortable, supervised, and in a clean environment—whether they’re staying with me or I’m caring for them in your home!
“Brittany is more than just a sitter—she’s an angel! Her love and care for Ramón were truly special. Ramón was adopted not too long ago and still struggles with anxiety when it comes to socializing. With Brittany, he was able to relax and trust her. It was truly impressive how she won him over. I wholeheartedly recommend her services! We couldn’t have found a more incredible professional to care for our pet. Thank you so much, Brittany!”
“Xun has been an amazing caretaker of our Goldendoodle Dustin. She provides multiple unprompted picture updates throughout the day. I highly recommend Xun to care for your beloved family member, I have used her services on four prior occasions, and I will not hesitate to book her again.”
“I told Roxanne that I wouldn't trust anybody with my dog except her. First, she's one of the most caring and sweetest people you'll ever meet. She's always available to speak at a moments notice, extremely accommodating and a gracious host. Her house is the perfect place which allows dogs to roam inside or out; with plenty of space and always clean. She takes the dogs for a leisurely stroll around the neighborhood to ensure they never feel confined - to her already - spacious backyard. Everything she does clearly helps with socialization - my dog was completely at ease with the pack which I've never seen before. You'll never miss a moment of the fun because she sends you pictures of your pooch throughout the day and night. It always looks like a children's camp - everyone in the pack is having a great time - and they never seem ready to leave. Rest assured, your K-9 is in the best of hands and under a watchful and caring eye. She's a special person.”
“Angela took great care of my pup for four days of action-packed daycare. My dog got exercise, playtime, snuggles and lots of love! She came home happy and exhausted every night. Angela was awesome with her & provided fun updates for me along the way!”
“Perry was great with Remi! She seemed really comfortable with him and enjoyed having company all day, especially with his dog Mookie around. Remi is always happy to be dropped off and comes home relaxed!”
“Brian is a dog whisperer. He is calm, patient, and treats my sweet pup and any pets he’s looking after as his own. Truly, his calm demeanor puts pets at ease immediately. He regularly volunteers at the dog shelter and has extensive experience with all types of dogs. Brian is eager to meet your best friend where they’re at (in my case, a 15 week old puppy that sometimes slept and sometimes had endless zoomie energy and needed constant attention!). Brian is wonderful with practicing training commands and shares updates and photos throughout the day. He is also super communicative and was extremely flexible as my work schedule required alternate pick up and drop off times. I’ll absolutely rely on Brian when I need full day or overnight support. Don’t look any further for support, Brian is the absolute best!!”
“Mickie was so accommodating with Jazzy and her needs! She helped out last minute with day care for Jazzy, kept me updated on all things and gave Jazzy a great day! Awesome spot for day care :)”
“Aleesa took care of my Penni as if she was her own. She sent countless updates throughout the day that reassured me Penni was not only in good hands, but blossoming and gaining confidence with both her and her fur babies’ influence. She gave her snuggles and love and took her for a walk to the park by the beach. I couldn’t have asked for more. Penni went from clinging to my side and fighting to leave me when I dropped her off to hardly showing interest in coming home! We will definitely be using Aleesa over and over.”
“I love the way Andrea and Tim run their home daycare. From the very beginning, their communication was kind and prompt. I am as attached to my pup as my pup is to me, so transitioning to more in-office work days has made me anxious about getting a sitter. Tim and Andrea made the drop-off painless and continued to update me with videos and pictures throughout the day. So thoughtful and understanding. I will definitely be using these two again! Thank you!”
About: I have a lot of patience while caring for your loving fur baby. I enjoy working with all kinds of animals and have for many years. Pet care fits perfectly in my daily routine and schedule on top working my regular job. I will make time for your lovely fur baby. I have fenced yard making it safe for your pet to get some outside time. I will continuously check to replenish their food bowls and water bowls.
About: Hi Parents! I’m looking forward to care for your babies, having pets around is giving me a sense of comfort. Walking dogs is also very therapeutic, My mother was a veterinarian assistant, she has showed me how to care for every stage of dogs and cats. We also had our oldest dog for 17 years, he loves to listened to spa music and we would gave him massage :) I’m also currently in grooming internship program, please feel to let me know if you need grooming for your furry bebeis, I’m always around during holidays so your dogs can always have babysitter:) I have flexible schedule and I could be home most of the time or walking, babysit your pets up on your request, I also like to go to the park or the beach :) your pets and I will be best friends;) My apt is a gated community, with big courtyard (very secure access ). Your pets could take my other room ;). Your pets are free to spend their time in any area they want, my cats are calm and friendly , they get along well with dogs, they are used to have dogs around. I have so much toy and dog bed available plus water fountain. We have fenced yard where I could walk your dogs or go to the park across from my apt. Cleanliness is very important for me. I would make sure your pets are clean after we are done played outside .
About: I’m a dog lover with years of experience. I’ve had my own dogs from 2005-2024, but most recently have been fostering for a local rescue. I’ve fostered with Westside German Shepherd Rescue and A Purposeful Rescue, and have experience with senior dogs, medical needs, reactive dogs, all sizes (from toy to giant), and run a structured, tight ship! I grew up with Boxers, my own dogs were terriers and a German Shepherd, and most recently I fostered a sweet Belgian Malinois. There are no full-time pets in my home, but since I foster, there may be overlap on a case by case basis. I currently work from home M, W, Th, F, and am home on weekends. I live in an apartment, so potty breaks are done via neighborhood walks. Safety is paramount with me. My building’s courtyard is fenced, and I utilize crate training and separate rooms when multiple dogs are in my care. I carry pepper spray on walks, am hyper vigilant of my surroundings, and as a “Type A” person :D follow owner instructions to the letter.
“Kaitlin is unreal. Truly next-level. From the second we dropped Ollie off, the energy was calm, grounded, and deeply reassuring. One early morning it was still dark when we arrived, and she instinctively turned on the lights, walked him through the house, and helped him settle like a seasoned dog whisperer. Who does that. Someone who gets dogs, that’s who. She’s intuitive, communicative, and wildly attentive without being overbearing. The updates were thoughtful, the vibe was steady, and Ollie came home relaxed, happy, and very clearly loved. It’s rare to find someone who understands not just the logistics of dog care, but the emotional side of it. Kaitlin has that dialed. We trust her completely and feel incredibly grateful to have found her. If you’re on the fence, don’t be. Book her. Just maybe not on the days we need her.”
“Such a great experience with Jane. Gía was well-taken care of, had a walk every day, and Jane was so incredibly flexible with my pickup times due to my ever-evolving work scenario and schedule. Definitely look forward to Jane taking care of Gía again!”
About: I grew up watching my grandfather train dogs. My earliest memories have always included dogs. I had two Rhodesian Ridgebacks which I trained to off leash commands. I rescued a terrier mix that was badly damaged from a dust-up in the streets of Carson. I recently had to say good-bye to him on 2/20/2026. All of my dogs got extensive morning and evening walks at the beach or the park and numerous intermittent walks in the neighborhood during the day. I work from home as a recruiter and have consistently had at least one dog and up to three before my children went to college. I am very much in tune with knowing when a dog needs to burn off energy or has gotten restless. I look at going for walks dog as therapy for both of us. I like to allow the dog to time to take sights and smells and never hurry through the walk. Pets are welcome anywhere but my bed. I try to quickly crack non-verbal codes so that our time together is relaxed and mutually beneficial
“My pup had a first great stay with Jessica. He’s a little shy and takes time to warm up but less than 30 minutes I was getting pictures of him cuddling next to her. Great backyard set up for the dogs and my boy was definitely happy and tired at the end of the day.”

About: I have been surrounded by animals since childhood. I grew up in Colombia helping my grandmother on her farm, where I cared for dogs, cats, chickens, horses, pigs, and cows. That experience taught me respect, patience, and love for animals of all kinds. My strongest experience is with dogs. I have been caring for my own Pomeranian for over 11 years, and for the past 2 years I have also provided paid pet care for my friend’s dogs. I have experience with puppies as young as 5 months old, as well as senior dogs. One of the most meaningful experiences in my life was caring for my friend’s 13-year-old dog, Layla, during her final days while she was battling liver cancer. Being able to support her with love, comfort, and close attention reinforced my commitment to compassionate pet care. I currently work as a bookkeeper, mostly from home, which allows me to organize my schedule flexibly. This makes it easy for me to provide attentive pet sitting, boarding, and companionship during the day. I generally prefer pet sitting in the owner’s home, but I am also open to short stays in my home, such as weekends, depending on the situation. Longer stays can be discussed if needed. I believe pets are family, and I treat them with the same love and respect I give my own dog. I enjoy talking to dogs, keeping them company, and making sure they feel safe and emotionally comfortable, especially in new environments. I carefully follow all instructions provided by the owner, including feeding routines, medication, walking schedules, and special needs. Regarding food, I prefer to feed pets only the food provided by the owner. If authorized, I am happy to prepare or purchase food following the owner’s exact instructions. I pay close attention to each dog’s condition, preferences, and sensitivities. Dogs in my care are never left unattended. Owners are welcome to bring their dog’s favorite toys, bed, or blanket to help them feel at home. With owner approval, I also enjoy taking dogs to nearby parks so they can enjoy fresh air and gentle exercise.

Because of my flexible work I can be around most of the day if that's what your pet needs or drop by as needed. Looking forward to meeting your furry loves and caring for them while you are away. I’m open to recurring dog walking gigs! My work is flexible and therefore I am available to support your pet's regular routine. I am available to lounge and play with your furry members as needed. I am attentive, engaging, and ready to play or cuddle. I am eager to learn your pets likes and dislikes and follow their lead on making them feel comfortable while you are away.
“Annalisa was so great with Flipper! When i accidentally put in the wrong address, she was super accommodating and was able to change course pretty quickly! She followed all of our instructions and Flipper looked so happy on his walk. We’ll be calling her again!!”
“We enjoyed having Hannah care for our fur baby while we were out of town. She was always very timely and sent us lots of photos of our pup! We greatly appreciate her and will book her again in the future!!”
About: After nine years in the corporate world at Google, I’ve stepped away to focus on my passions—with animals at the top of the list. My favorite workday moments were always the same: seeing dogs at the office or coming home to my own two. So, transitioning to professional pet care was a natural next step. I have extensive experience caring for dogs, cats, and even horses for friends, family, and colleagues. With me, your pet will be treated like a member of my family and, most importantly, receive the highest level of care. Weekday Availability: I am fully available Monday through Friday. Whether your pet needs a midday walk, a medication schedule, or consistent check-ins, I have the capacity to be there. Weekend Flexibility: I am available for the vast majority of weekends, so I am here to help when you have travel plans or just need a little extra support during your days off. Safety and comfort always come first, and that starts with understanding your pet and your routine. Because every pet is unique, I tailor my care to their specific needs and your instructions. You can always count on consistent updates with photos, and I am available to address any questions or concerns you may have.
“Meng was fabulous to step in at the last minute and cover me in my absence. My dog is very picky about who he leaves the security of his home with and he happily goes out with his girlfriend, Meng every time. She has a wonderful energy. Thank you Meng!!”
“Mark was so helpful walking Wicket every day this week and took a different route each day to keep it exciting and new for him! He sent adorable pictures and great updates daily. He genuinely cared for our boy and had him smiling so wide on their adventures and napping peacefully after!”
About: Hi! I’m a dependable, attentive animal lover with hands-on experience caring for animals with a wide range of personalities and needs. My own sweet senior dog requires medications and extra support, and, as a rescue, he came with a big dose of separation anxiety. I understand how important patience, consistency, and trust are when it comes to pet care. I also know how hard it can be to entrust a new person with the safety and care of your beloved companion. I take the honor very seriously! I’m comfortable with walks, routines, medications, and senior pet support. I’ve also cared for cats, birds, rodents, and reptiles, so I’m experienced with different temperaments and care styles. I’ll always treat your animals with the same level of care and attention I give my own. You will receive lots of updates and pictures! I work part time from home, so I'm very flexible and ready to come care for your pet! Never be afraid to reach out on short notice. My own home has a new and anxious dog who is learning the environment, for the time being I am only doing pet care in clients' homes.
“Angela is awesome! Was super flexible with me as I needed a dog walker last minute. She was very communicative and made me feel comfortable leaving my pup in her hands! Definitely recommend. Thank you Angela!”
“Cortney has been really amazing with our dog. She's huge and afraid of everything, but she loved Cortney the second she saw her. Cortney makes her feel as confident as she can and has really been great with her so far on walks, which are usually really overwhelming for our giant baby. I am so greatful!”
About: What sets me apart is my combination of hands-on experience, calm energy, and genuine love for dogs. I grew up with dogs for over 15 years, so caring for them has always been second nature to me. In my teen years, I regularly walked and managed up to nine cocker spaniels at once, which taught me how to stay attentive, patient, and in control even in high energy situations. For the past four years, I’ve also supported a dog nanny business, where I’ve gained experience with a variety of breeds, temperaments, and routines. I’m especially strong with maintaining consistency, reading dog behavior, and making sure each dog feels safe and cared for. My calm and detail oriented approach helps dogs feel comfortable quickly, whether they’re energetic, shy, or need a little extra patience. I’m confident working with puppies who need structure and guidance, as well as senior dogs who require a gentler, more attentive pace. At the end of the day, I treat every dog like they’re my own, and that’s what earns the trust and all the tail wags. I’m used to planning my days with intention, so incorporating walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and check-ins is something I do with ease. On a daily basis, I prioritize morning and evening availability, which are key times for walks, feeding, and giving dogs the attention they need to feel calm and secure. Throughout the week, I maintain a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate different needs, whether that’s longer walks, multiple visits, or adjusting to a dog’s specific routine. I’ve spent years around dogs,both personally and supporting a dog nanny business,I’m very aware of how important consistency is for their behavior and comfort. I naturally build that consistency into my routine, making sure each dog gets reliable care, attention, and a positive experience every time. I approach pet care with consistency, respect for the pet’s routine, and close attention to detail, whether I’m in my home or a client’s. In a client’s home, I prioritize keeping everything as familiar as possible. I follow their established routine for feeding, walks, medications (if needed), and playtime, while also keeping the space clean and secure. I’m mindful of house rules, locking up properly, and maintaining clear communication with updates so owners feel confident while they’re away. In my own home, I create a calm, safe, and structured environment. I make sure pets have a designated space to relax, stick to consistent feeding and walking schedules, and provide a balance of play, exercise, and rest. I also pay close attention to behavior and body language, so I can adjust care as needed and ensure each pet feels comfortable and supported. Across both settings, my goal is the same: to provide reliable, attentive care that keeps pets happy, safe, and at ease.
About: Our family recently lost our dog. She was a member of our family for 15 years and all 3 of our children were raised with her. It is a huge void but your pet can help the family to heal and will get an enormous love and care in return. I am currently not working and can spend enough time taking care of your pet: walking, playing or any other activity that will be required. I am offering to take care of your pet in my home on a daily basis or on weekends or weekly. I have a big fenced yard.
“Julia is phenomenal. Whether she is dog/puppy sitting for an extending period of time or daily walks with our pooch, she provides such great care for our dog while providing you peace of mind with her responsible and trustworthy nature. She is also a fantastic communicator. Highly recommend!”

“Lucero is great! She took my last minute booking, and followed my instructions to take care of my pop! Sent thorough updates multiple times a day, and tons of photos and videos. Gonna book again next week! Thanks!”
“Jennifer was awesome! She was available to watch our dog within a weeks notice and took such good care of him 😀 sent tons of photos and updates. We felt super comfortable and safe knowing our dog was in good hands. Highly recommend using Jennifer if you ever need a sitter in the area. 10/10 ⭐️⭐️”
“Ryan treated my pup so well! I gave detailed instructions on how to help care for his eyes (he can’t see well and gets eye build-up) and he came back exactly how I left him, perfectly clean. My pup sometimes gets anxiety diarrhea at a new sitter, but he didn’t have that at all when I got him back! Daily updates were great. I will definitely be booking again.”
About: I am the kind of person who'll always find a pet to pet or coo over no matter where I am; I always volunteer to watch my friends' animal friends when they can't because they're so freakin' cute. Throughout my life I or my family have had some pets, from hamsters to cats to dogs (and big ones!), so I know how to treat animals well and how to care for them. I love taking dogs to the park and run with them, play, and give them treats, but I'm careful not to spoil them too much no matter how much I want to. I know when they need to get their energy out and when to chill, when to give them personal attention and if they need a firm (but appropriate!) discipline. It will be a mutual love at first sight ! :D I freelance and have a flexible schedule. I don't always know which days but I usually will be able to tell at min 1-2 days in advance. I'm also generally available weekends. I cater to each dog. I have the friendliest dog of my own to hang with yours so I'm well versed in dog care. We love walks and hikes and hangs, either at home or backyard or beach! If a crate is required that's not a problem. I like to casually supervise them while letting them play and run around if close supervision isn't necessary.
“We had a great experience with Jamie. Our girl felt right at home with her, and it was clear she was in great hands. Jamie kept us updated throughout the stay, which gave us peace of mind during our trip. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Elizabeth is the best!!! Very knowledgable in training and an expert at having fun. Sent pictures and videos playing fetch, going on walks, and cuddling. I highly recommend her for boarding.”
“Alicia was great taking care of my golden retriever.Rilee. she kept me up-to-date with photos and texts and was extremely responsive. I highly recommend her.”
“I had the best experience with Brittany! I was really nervous to leave my dog for so many days because it was his first time being boarded, but Brittany made the whole thing so seamless. Her communication was great and she sent plenty of pictures. She did great with giving my dog his daily meds and gave me so much peace of mind while I was gone. I Highly recommend!!❤️”
“Mia is an experienced dog sitter who understands how to read dog behavior and appropriately separates dogs in her home when they are left alone until the dogs get to know each other. Mia sends many photo updates, and we felt reassured our dog was happy and safe. Because Mia supervises potentially more than 1 dog at a time, we recommend her home boarding for dogs who are well socialized and do not have severe separation anxiety. Our furbaby returned to us happy with tail wags!”
“Colin was a great choice. He provided regular updates and photos throughout her stay, which we really appreciated. Our dog can be a handful at times, but he handled her energetic personality with ease. She came back calm and happy, so we know she had a great experience with him. We definitely plan to book with him again!”
“Stephanie took great care of Frida. Asked all the right questions before, provided daily updates, and most importantly, Frida came home happy, tired, and healthy. We look forward to having Frida stay with Stephanie again while we’re away!”
“Alejandro was so awesome! Helped me out last minute with my pup and he came back healthy and happy :) sent photos of my lil guy and even made sure he didn’t go anywhere near any other pups cause ( my guy is reactive unfortunately) highly recommend him and will use him again for sure if he’s willing :) thank you Alejandro !”
“It’s been a while since I’ve booked a sitter through Rover due to a negative past experience so I was hesitant doing it again. However, I was in a bind & had to do a last minute booking. And I am so glad to have booked with Brendan. Moose stayed with him for 5 days and came back super tired from the adventures with Brendan. We received daily photos & videos of their trips to the park and beach. Moose is a little reactive to other dogs & it felt like he came back from Brendan’s a little calmer. He gave me tips on how I can help with Moose’s reactive behavior towards other dogs. Brendan is a life saver & we’re definitely going to rebook with him again.”
“Eva was absolutely incredible! Very good at communicating, she followed all of our instructions and preferences for how we like to care for our furbaby Henry! We loved receiving a of the updates and knowing he was having a wonderful time while we were away. Will definitely be booking again!”
“Megan and Joshua were INCREDIBLE! I think my two dogs were a little bummed when we picked them up from their two week playdate with them. They treated them to beach trips, pup cups, and so much love! As someone who misses my dogs while traveling, I was thrilled with the amount of communication and photos that they sent to us each day. Booking them was the best decision we made on this trip!!”
“Alyssa was a great sitter for my pup. Quick to respond, sent lots of pics and was very accommodating. Her pup Leo is adorable and got along great with mine. Her yard is a great bonus. Highly recommend!”
