“Colleen is amazing! I highly recommend. She’s incredibly caring and patient, sends fantastic updates. Her dogs are a fun crew and love having new friends over. I am so happy I found her, I don’t have to worry at all if my pup is with her.”
“Charly had his first stay over with Olivia and the whole experience was exceptional for both Charly and myself. Olivia is very communicative, understanding, attentive, caring and is more than willing to ask and accommodate for/about your fur babies. She sent multiple pictures and communicated the whole stay. When I picked up Charly he was so happy and zen which is a sign that he had a fun and comfortable night aswell as enough attention and activity. If you want your fur children to be happy and well taken care of, 12/10 would recommend Olivia”
“Brandy was awesome! She watched our pup for a little over 2 weeks and even took on a couple more days short notice. Ellie came back very happy and well loved. I hi bb Lu recommend Brandy!”
“We couldn’t have felt more comfortable leaving our 11 month old dog Riley with Jasmine and her partner. Riley immediately loved them and had a great time for her 7 night stay. Jasmine was great with communication, sending photos and daily recaps of our little girl which put us at such ease. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all kinds for my entire life, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need extra patience and attention. Friends, family, and neighbors have relied on me to walk, feed, bathe, and spend quality time with their pets while they’re away. I’m attentive, reliable, and genuinely love building trust with animals, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy in my care. I pay close attention to routines, personalities, and any special needs so each dog receives personalized, loving care. I have a hybrid work schedule, which allows me to be home part of the week and provide attentive care. I’m available for boarding on Fridays and weekends, and I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, walks, and playtime while in my care. I’m reliable, communicative, and happy to follow your pet’s usual routine. I provide a safe, calm, and attentive environment for pets in my home. While I don’t have a yard, I take dogs out for frequent walks and bathroom breaks throughout the day to ensure they get plenty of exercise and stimulation. I closely follow feeding, walking, and care instructions, can crate pets if needed, and prioritize supervision, communication, and your pet’s comfort and safety at all times.
“One of the most pleasant people to meet. Charlie can be picky with his rovers. I haven’t had a problem getting him out of the car when bringing him to Katia. 10/10 recommend.”
“There are no words proper enough to express my gratitude. Emelyn was a true angel! My little beagle got sick during his overnight stay and she was very understanding, compassionate and communicative throughout the process. I will definitely use her as much as possible and consider myself lucky to have found such an understanding and reasonable dog sitter! Thank you again Emelyn.”
“Chelsi has a lovely family, her children and her dog Leo are super super friendly to my dog. Chelsi also takes care of my dog into the very details. Sending photos/video updates many times throughout the day. Makes us worry less and she's super reliable”
“Roxy ROCKS! Took the best care of our girls once again, even when it was pouring down rain and they couldn’t go outside, she still found ways to entertain them in the house :)”
“Brittany was absolutely fantastic! I could tell Theo had the best time, she was so great with him and his effervescent personality. I got daily updates and cute videos. I felt like he was in the best hands and can't wait to use her again, truly a blessing!”
About: My sweet female golden, Kona, is patient with other dogs and has helped fosters learn to relax at home. We trained her from a puppy and would love to help care for your dog. We’ve sat for tiny, shaking chihuahuas who have warmed up enough to Kona to even cuddle her. I work from home full time, so I’m available all day for walks. I work on central time and finish at 3, leaving plenty of afternoon time for play in our fenced patio. I can crate one dog as needed, but pets are allowed on furniture in my home if well trained. I walk at least 5 times a day, and have a bell for dogs trained to ring when they need to go outside. I have a lovely fenced patio for dogs to play in or just relax in the sun.
“Sean was great taking care of my dog while I was out for a few weeks! He always made sure to send pictures of their daily walks together, and she came back happy and healthy - everything you can possibly ask for !”
“Took great care of StarFox! I know my dog enjoyed his stay and I appreciate all the time spent with him playing and walking. My dog is a clever fox, so he can be a handful sometimes. Fantastic job and would definitely book again when I’m out of town. Great photos too and updates!”
“My Dempsey has chosen Anna as his "go to" sitter! He knows he'll get lots of love and attention. Anna and her team are incredible and I have nothing but admiration for how they take care of my best friend when I am out of town. Wish I could keep them on retainer!”
“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!”
“Mickie was fantastic with our pup. She seemed at ease and enjoyed her time there. In fact, she’s normally a pretty nervous pup when we come back from a weekend away, but she seemed to actually be exceptionally calm for the days following the pickup. Definitely a testament to how well she was treated at Mickie’s!”

“Harvest was very professional and quick with responding to me at all times and understood my shy cats. She gave them space and they obviously felt safe as they came out to see her! Appreciate her patience and kindness with more shy animals!”
About: Hi! My name is Megan, and I'm a college student home for the summer with a flexible schedule thanks to my online classes. I'm a huge animal lover—especially cats—which is why you'll notice a lot of my photos are with cats! I've been caring for my mom's boss's cats for the past 2 years, helped care for and walk my close friend’s two dogs, and am currently walking the lovely Golden Lab on my profile every day in my hometown in the Bay Area. I’m moving to the Los Angeles area on the 29th and will be able for all services in LA after! I know every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you're away. I may be younger than some sitters, but I'm dependable, patient, and genuinely excited to gain more experience doing something I love. Pet sitting is also helping me fund my college education, so I truly appreciate every pet parent, their booking, and the trust that comes with it. I'll follow your instructions carefully, keep your pet’s routine consistent, and send plenty of photo and video updates so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I’m a very active person in my daily life, so I will have no issues with walking, carrying, or other high energy activities I may need to do with your pet! I'd love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family members, thanks for considering me! Once the semester starts and I move back to LA on the 29th, my class schedule will be very flexible, with Tuesdays and Fridays off completely. Monday, Wednesday, and Friday I have classes in the morning. My busier day, Monday, only consists of about 4 hours of class from 9-1:30 so, even at my busiest I am available for afternoon and evening services! I always do my best to maintain every pet’s daily routine to make them feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away.. Whether I'm caring for your pet in your home for an extended period of time or stopping by for quick visits, I’ll follow your instructions carefully regarding feeding, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and anything else you need. I believe every pet deserves patience, attention, and plenty of love, and I'll make sure they are well cared for. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you are aware of what your pet is up to, and to give you a little peace of mind while you’re away from them!
“This was our second time leaving our two cats in Laura’s care for an extended period, and once again she was absolutely fantastic. Our cats truly adore her. She visited twice a day for over two weeks, was always punctual, and handled everything seamlessly. She sent adorable updates and photos, and was consistently quick to respond whenever we checked in. We trust her completely with both our cats and our home, and she was extremely respectful in every regard. We could not recommend her more highly.”
“This was our second time having Caitlin watch our cat and we felt so fortunate to have her! She always goes the extra mile which we appreciate like bringing in our packages and spending extra time with our cat when he's especially needy. We know we can depend on Caitlin to treat our cat like her own! We couldn't have asked for more!”
“Sam took great care of our cat, giving her some much needed play time, and giving us peace of mind while we were far away on an extended vacation. And she took some fun pictures that gave us a smile and a laugh. Thanks, Sam!”
“Brandy is fantastic - super timely and even proactively cleaned Casper’s food bowl before we got back. I would highly recommend her for anyone looking for a great sitter.”
“Allison was GREAT with Uno. She sent me so many pictures everyday which made me feel so much better about being far away from him. I really appreciated how much love she gave him and how much reassurance she gave me that he was okay! Will 100% book with Allison again.”
“Anya is amazing! A true cat whisperer! We have a very shy male and he greeted her at the door and hung out with her during her first visit! Has never happened before! Our other kitty immediately wanted to hang out with her with lots of purring during her meet and greet. Thanks so much Anya for taking such great care of our babies!”
“Carolyn did an amazing job caring for my cat Byrd. He was so comfortable with her. Every update she sent through made me smile, I could tell Byrd was having fun. We'll definitely working with Carolyn again!”
“Mimi took terrific care of my cat Daisy. In less than a week she was able to pet and brush this formerly feral cat! It really improved my vacation to heed her update and even videos. I would recommend her to anyone for pet sitting without the slightest hesitation.”
“Alejandra is absolutely amazing! She was available on short notice and did such a great job while I was away that I even extended her for an extra drop in visit. She took incredible care of Pablo, sent photo updates, and was so attentive to his routine and comfort. She is communicative, trustworthy, and Pablo clearly loves her. I will absolutely be booking her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a fantastic sitter!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Thank you for taking such great care of our cats! They looked very happy and playful in the photos. We appreciated not having to worry about them during our trip. Will definitely be booking you again in the future!”
“Tania was great. Very communicative and sweet with my cat. She is trustworthy and reliable! Will definitely be using Tania again. Thank you for giving me some piece of mind while I was away!”
“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.”
“Kaylee looked after my cat recently and was very reliable. She was responsive to messages, arrived during the agreed-upon windows, and followed the written instructions I provided.”

“Thank you so much Roxanne and her family for taking care of our little Chippy! She was so accommodating and inviting with the whole process. They went on a wonderful adventure to the dog park and went sight seeing around beautiful Santa Monica! Chip was all smiles and entertained :) This was the second time Chip had a wonderful play date with Roxanne and there will be many more to come! :)”
“Chelsi is simply amazing!!! She’s so thoughtful and really loves dogs. I felt immediately comfortable leaving my pup with her. I can’t recommend her highly enough. She sent me updates all day long, and it was obvious that my dog was feeling at home too. She was a great match for our - relaxed, flexible, respectful of each dogs personalities. Just such a good vibe overall. Our experience with her was really way above what I had expected. We will definitely be booking with her again ♥️”
About: I have had and taken care of rescue dogs since I was 10 years old. I have experience watching and caring for dogs of various breeds, sizes and ages (puppy to senior with special needs) I am an animal lover and will care for your pet with love and attention. I work from home so have plenty of time and flexibility to meet your pets needs. I routinely walk my own dog several times per day. I live in a gated apartment with my own sweet and playful dog. My dog has free reign, and I do have experience with owners bringing a crate for their dog. I have experience feeding dogs with sensitive stomachs and a multiple dog household.
“Helena is by far the best Rover sitter I left Millie with. My girl was taken care of and was extremely happy when I picked her up. Helena is super communicative and I loved how she consistently sent me photos. I’ll plan to book Helena any time I need a sitter. Thank you!”
“Salud took wonderful care of Sam for me while I worked a full day. She clearly enjoys taking care of your fur-baby and is very responsible. Her lovely home is easily reached off one of the exits on I-10 so she is advantageously sited for many who need to use the freeways.”
“What more could I ask for in a puppy sitter? I picked up my five-month-old shepherd mix healthy, happy, and tired out. Concordia communicated well from booking through pickup, including sending multiple photos throughout the day. I'd feel more than comfortable with her looking after my puppy again.”
“Thank you Jane for taking care of our beloved Watson! We are so glad to have found you. Watson had a great time, went for a nice long walk and had all his needs met bet Jane! We are so happy and grateful for her.”
“Bucky seemed to have a great time! He came home happy & ready for bed. Kana sent us updates & photos throughout the night. She was very sweet & Bucky warmed up to her quickly!”
“Maya had an amazing time at Mickie's for doggy day care. My dog is very high energy and she was able to handle her. Maya can be a little minion and is not for the weak lol. I have never seen my dog so happy and exhausted! Her two dogs, Kodie and Ollie are the cutest and wrestled all day with her. I recommend her for sure if you need someone to help out with your fur baby - she is responsible and reliable.”
“Jenna is truly the best! As first time dog owners, we were nervous about leaving our pup with anyone but Jenna made us feel so comfortable. She gives great updates and gives the dogs she's watching so much exercise and playtime. My dog never wants to leave and gets so excited to see her and her dog Meadow. We are repeat visitors at Jenna's and we are so happy we found someone we feel comfortable with. Can't recommend enough!”
“Our pup loved staying with Glenna. She is great and can tell our pup gets a ton of love and attention. She is also super responsive, timely and keeps us updated. She is the best!”
“Fran is just the best with my little Luna, I love the pictures and I know she’s in a safe and joyful place having the best day ever! Their home is a perfect Haven for any pup and I’m so glad each time I drop off my dog with Fran knowing she is well taken care of, played with, cuddled with and loved dearly!”
“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.”

“My little dog Roni is my little baby and has only been walked by immediate family. Others have tried and Roni won't go more than a block with them. Deirdra is the first person outside of my family ever to have been able get Roni to go for a full walk. I chose Deirdra because her profile implies lots o responsibility and trust. Still, I was nervous, but when she arrived a ton of apprehension was lifted. Deirdra radiates warmth, trust and animal lover. I am so happy that Roni has someone he trusts to walk him when I can't.”
“Elizabeth was so wonderful walking my dog Mickey. It was a last minute request but she was quick to respond and had open availability which we highly appreciated. She had great communication and quickly bonded with our fur baby. We would be happy to book with her again!”
About: Hi there! My name’s Kana and I've been dog sitting for friends and coworkers on and off for 10+ years now. I love being able to keep their dogs company, especially when their parents are off traveling or out of town! I too love traveling, which is why it’s not the right time for me to have my own pup. I also like to volunteer dog walk on occasion at Wags and Walks :) I have some extra time and figured why not open up my dog sitting, or walking to the good pups in my area! I am open to doing overnight stays if it’s the right fit and needed. Can’t wait to get to know you and your precious pets 🐾 I currently work from home, so I have plenty of time to take the dogs out and on walks. I can also work remote from anywhere easily. I work from home all day, so I am able to watch after your dogs at all times and have a fenced area to keep them safe if they need to be let out for a lil fresh air!
“Ken is TRULY a great caretaker! He is so Empathetic and my doggies just loved him!!! Am so happy I found Ken here on Rover. Much appreciated and will certainly be hiring Ken again in the future. 🙏🙏🙏”
“Laura is the best!! She's everything could wish for - she arrives early and is just so so sweet with both our Mia (a pittie) and our Bob (a kitty). Our dog can be shy sometimes but she took to Laura's kind and affectionate demeanor immediately - every dog parents dream! Can't wait to have her back”
“Meng was communicative and had many photo updates for her walk with Dax. She wasn’t quite able to finish the walk but communicated and came back to finish the walk later for longer which was amazing of her to do.”
“Chelsea did an amazing job caring for my pets while I was out of town. She was extremely communicative, and I felt completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands. I highly recommend Chelsea for any pet care needs!”
About: Hi, I’m Amy! (Rover makes me use my government name 🤷♀️) I have two rescue dogs: Abby (5-year-old Formosan mountain dog, 35 lbs) and Ollie (2-year-old Goldendoodle, 65 lbs). I also volunteer for a dog rescue - check out Fetchin Retrievers Rescue! My pups are polar opposites: Abby is a skittish homebody, and Ollie is an energetic goofball. I can do everything from Abby-style chill cuddle sessions to Ollie-style crazy zoomies! My dogs are both rescues with an unfortunate past, and through caring for them and my volunteer work, I’m experienced in reading dogs’ body languages to take things at their pace, curbing unwanted behaviors, and training by positive reinforcement.
“I am very thankful for Kelli. She is always on time, so kind and flexible when we have special requests due to our schedule or home situation. Our dog loves her and so do we. Thanks, Kelli.”
About: I have had dogs/pets my whole life & currently have one fur baby at home. I really enjoy taking pups for long walks outside, or just checking-in with them to make sure they're happy, fed & safe. My current job is fully remote, & I take multiple breaks throughout the day to go for neighborhood walks on my own (my company encourages it!) so this would fit right into my schedule. I am very aware of my surroundings & cautious of other people/kids/dogs that are walking around. I always double-check that doors are locked, leashes are clipped & water bowls are full :)
“Christian has been amazing to work with! My dog is very shy and skittish but Christian has been extra patient to allow my dog to get comfortable with him. I also appreciate how communicative and reliable he is.”

About: I’ve cared for pets for 10+ years, and friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, and look after their dogs while they’re away. I’m calm, patient, and very detail-oriented, so I follow your pet’s routine closely (meals, potty schedule, walk pace, and house rules). I’m also great with shy or anxious pets and always move at their pace to build trust. You’ll receive reliable updates with photos every visit so you can feel completely at ease. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine, and I’m able to be flexible depending on your pet’s needs. I can do morning and evening visits, longer hangouts when needed, and I’m responsive with communication throughout the day. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal schedule—especially for pets who do best with consistency. If you have specific timing requests (feeding times, longer walks, or extra playtime), just let me know and I’ll plan around it. I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and calm energy in every home. I follow instructions closely—food portions, leash rules, and any special care needs. I live in a luxury apartment community with access to a private, fully fenced dog park for safe potty breaks and supervised playtime (with your permission). I’m careful with doors and transitions to prevent escapes, and I always keep pets secure and comfortable. You’ll receive consistent photo updates and quick communication if anything seems off.
“Great communication, punctual, really bonded with Jefe and figured him out for the puppy he is despite his "big dog" looks. I was super happy and hope we can rebook in the future”
“I can’t thank Rebecca enough for the love and care she and her mom showed to my baby Mojo 5 days away and she supplied me with constant reassurance and peace of mind. Thank you sooooo much Rebecca.”

“Topo + Coco LOVE Ryan! Highly recommend booking with him if you need some help with your dogs in the West LA area :). They always come back tired too which is great for us coming back from holiday traveling 🤣. We appreciate the care he puts into them!”
“MaiKayla and son did a great job hosting our dogs. They returned happy and calm. We had good communication the whole time. I was happy the dogs were able to experience and play with KaiKayla’s son. They loved their stay and we will book again.”
“Sophia was wonderful with Lola this weekend! She looked after her really, really well and gave her lots of cuddles and attention, which made us so happy. She was communicative throughout, and we came home to a very happy, well-loved doggy. We were really pleased with how well she cared for Lola, and have already asked if Sophia is available to look after Lola again! ❤️”
“Brandon is great with my dog! I got lots of cute pictures and updates throughout the weekend. Swish has stayed with Brandon multiple times now and he truly loves it there :)”
