“Pia is the kindest, most conscientious dog sitter imaginable. I never need to worry about my rambunctious wheaten terrier, Gracie, who is always runs excitedly to Pia, tail wagging, no matter how long it’s been.”
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life and have years of hands on experience caring for them through every stage of life. From energetic puppies who need patience, play, and consistency to senior dogs who require extra attention, gentle care, and medication, I’m comfortable meeting each pet’s unique needs. I understand that every dog has their own personality and routine, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and stress free experience while you’re away. You’ll also receive frequent photo and video updates, so you can relax knowing your furry family members is happy, comfortable, and in great hands. I would love the schedule a meet and greet and get your pup familiar with my home. I want this to be as stress free as possible for you. :) I work in real estate and work from home most days with occasional meetings. Weekends are spent on long walks and beach days. I’m happy to bathe dogs after beach trips and always ask permission before any fun field trips. I live in a gated condo community with grassy areas. I have a 1 year old golden doodle who’s playful but can be calm for senior pets. I use cameras when briefly away for added safety and always prioritize a secure, trusted environment for your pet.
“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!”
“We are so grateful to Maria and Ben for looking after our Bernedoodle while we were away! They are super communicative and we received lots of photos and videos which was so great while we were missing our girl.”
“Jess and Max take the best care of Luna! She loves her time with them and always comes back happy and well cared for. They share the sweetest photos and have stellar communication so we always feel at ease while she is away!”
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.
“Josh is without a shadow of a doubt the best person I’ve ever had watch my babies. He took care of them as if they were his own. Thank you Josh, we will be using your services again soon!”
“This was Oscar’s second stay with Zsolt and again we were so impressed with him! Lots of photo and video updates were so comforting to receive. Oscar gets so much love and attention when he stays with Zsolt and Pudding :) thank you again! Could not recommend him more as he is wonderful!”
“Just awesome all the way around. Our pup is super nervous and isn't easy when getting to know a knew sitter and Lisa was amazing. She sent pics, updates, and even kept her an additional night as we got stuck in traffic and couldn't grab her in time. Five Stars!”
“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 !”

“Andrew and his family were amazing!! Cedric was such a happy dog when I picked him up and Andrew sent so many great pictures and updates while I was out of town for a weekend! I'm so thankful to them for taking such good care of Cedric and would absolutely book with them again :) Thank you, Andrew!”
“Lizzy provided reliability, reassurance, and comfort while watching our corgi girl, Socks, during a long daycare stay! It was our first time leaving our pup with a sitter and using Rover, as well as Socks’ first time with Lizzy but our nerves were quickly eased by her wonderful care. Lizzy was thoughtful in following the instructions I left and kept us updated throughout the day with plenty of photos and videos. She even managed to calm and comfort Socks after an unexpected fireworks display! We’re so thankful that Socks had such a positive experience with Lizzy and Aaron - our usually cautious pup even warmed up to them and gave snuggles, which says it all. We’ll definitely be booking with Lizzy again!”
“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!”

About: With 15+ years of pet sitting experience and fostering over 85 kittens and cats for rescue organizations, in addition to my own pets, I’ve developed a deep understanding of feline behavior across all personalities - from playful and curious to “spicy.” I tailor each visit to your cat’s unique needs, whether that’s enrichment play, calm companionship, basic training or even leash work for walks. I’m especially skilled at helping shy and anxious cats feel safe, comfortable and understood. Your cat’s safety, comfort and routine always come first. I specialize in creating a calm, low-stress environment tailored to each cat’s unique personality - whether they’re social and playful or shy and independent. I move at their pace, respect their boundaries and focus on building trust every visit. I provide reliable, detail-oriented care including feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, enrichment and maintaining your cat’s normal routine. I’m experienced with multi-cat households, from kittens to senior cats and administering medications and I’m always happy to follow detailed care instructions. You’ll receive consistent, high-quality photo and video updates after each visit (thanks to my photography background), so you can feel confident, reassured, and connected while you’re away. Clean, respectful of your home and highly communicative - I aim to make your time away completely stress-free for both you and your cat.

I understand that cats thrive on routine and comfort, so I focus on creating a calm, stress-free environment while you’re away. I’ve cared for cats with different temperaments and I’m patient in building trust with each one. I know how important it is to feel confident leaving your pet behind, so I’m happy to provide updates, photos, and consistent communication to give you peace of mind. My goal is simple: keep your cat happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.
“I recently had the pleasure of having Danielle watch my cat while I was traveling, and I couldn’t be happier with the care she provided. Danielle was fantastic from start to finish. She sent me frequent photos and updates, which made me feel comfortable and assured that Mango was in great hands. It’s clear that Danielle and her husband truly care about the pets they look after. Mango seemed very happy and well taken care of when I returned. I highly recommend Danielle to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. Thank you, Danielle, for taking such wonderful care of my girl! 🐱”
About: I've taken care of people's pets since I was in high school. We recently lost our dog, so we miss having an animal around and would love to care for your pet as if they were our own. I am a teacher and have the summer off and long breaks throughout the year, in which I have plenty of time to care for your pet. I love to walk, so I'd love to take your dog with me. I have a small patio where pets can get some fresh air and watch the birds and squirrels throughout the day.
“Sarah was great! You can tell she absolutely adores animals, she fell in love with my babies and even one of mine that can be skid-dish with new people really seemed to enjoy her too! My kitties can be particular about a couple of things and tend to get into things they shouldn’t, and Sarah did everything I asked. What I appreciated the most (outside of her care of my kitties of course) was that she kept my space clean and kept everything exactly as I had left it—something that is really important to me. Sarah respects your space, will love on your babies as if they are her own and handles your instructions thoroughly. So thankful for her, I would absolutely recommend! :)”
“Brianna has helped me out a couple times now with last minute bookings. Clayton liked her immediately and she does a great job looking after him. 10/10 would recommend her if you’re looking for a trusted pet sitter!”
“Alyssa was amazing!! She was super supportive of our cat who was having some unexpected health issues, giving us consistent updates and photos for peace of mind while we were gone. She really went above and beyond and made the whole process so easy 🙏”
“Emily was so sweet with our pets and I’d absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter. She stopped in to check on our cats a few times when we were out of town and also took our dog out potty once he was dropped off. Detailed updates and lots of photos with our pets looking so happy to hang out with her. Thank you again, Emily!”
About: I've been a Mom of 3 furry dog tails (2 small street dogs and 1 husky) when i was 18yo till 21yo, at the age of 25 I become a Mom for adopted rescue boy of jack russell and rat terrier mix for lovely 4.5 years; during that time occasionally I would take care of my friend Husky at my house, and another friends Cats at their households. I love being around furry friends, play with them, take them on a very very long walks. My schedule is very flexible. I work at coffee shop 6 hours shifts; usually from 8AM till 2PM, rarely from 2PM till 7PM in Playa del Rey. I'm an early morning bird, so waking up around 6AM it's my normal. At doggies household my first priority is to follow the set of rules and guidance from owners. Walks, food at scheduled time. Making sure that pet is comfy, have enough attention and affection.
About: I rescued my cat when she was 3 months old from the shelter and I had her until she passed at 18 years old from cancer, her name was Vixen. She was diabetic so I have experience with insulin injections and senior cat needs. I have also done a ton of rescue work with cats; rescuing them from the euthanasia list from the high kill shelters, caring for them and their medical needs, because they always had medical issues, as well as caring and fostering them until they were adopted. The most cats or kittens I had at one time was 6🤣. Your cat or cats are safe with me! I would love to give them some cuddles, attention, play time or just space so they know a human is around, as I know all cats have very different personalities.
“Theresa was wonderful! She sent photo’s and videos of Loki each time she would visit (twice a day) which helped ease our anxiety of leaving him for the first time since rescuing him back in February. Thank you for taking such good care of Loki!!”
“Liu was wonderful and Jolie loved her! 😻 We received daily photos and videos and our kitty was her normal happy self when we returned. We will be using Liu again!”

About: With over 15 years of experience in dog walking and personalized pet sitting, I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages and temperaments. I’ve also fostered more than 35 puppies and dogs for rescue organizations, in addition to my own pets, helping them grow into confident social companions so that they can find their home. In addition, I bring over 11 years of dog training experience, allowing me to work confidently with shy, high-energy and/or behaviorally unique pups. I understand that every dog is different and I tailor my training to meet each one’s individual needs. Your dog’s safety, comfort and happiness are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each dog’s unique personality, routine and needs - whether that means high-energy playtime, structured walks or a slower, more relaxed pace for shy and/or senior pups. I always move at their comfort level, respect boundaries, and use positive, gentle handling to create a safe and stress-free experience. During every visit, I make sure your dog receives attentive care, companionship, and plenty of enrichment. I’m happy to follow specific feeding routines, administer basic medications, reinforce training cues, and keep their environment clean and secure. With my background in photography, you’ll receive high-quality photo and video updates after each visit - so you can feel connected, reassured and confident that your dog is happy and well cared for while you’re away. I currently work from home, which gives me plenty of flexibility to provide your pets with the time, attention and care they deserve. I focus on keeping them both physically active and mentally stimulated, whether that’s through walks, playtime, enrichment activities and/or simply providing companionship. We have access to two fenced-in dog parks within my complex, providing a safe and fun space for exercise and play. I also have a friendly 5 year old spayed female dog, up-to-date with vaccines, who gets along great with both dogs and cats - she loves having company, whether it’s for playtime or just relaxing at home watching TV.

“Megan and Joshua were amazing dog sitters! They kept me updated regularly with messages and the cutest pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind while I at work. He was well cared for, and got lots of attention. I really appreciated their communication and care, highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and thoughtful sitters!”
“Lilly and Ryan were wonderful! I feel so lucky to have found them. They live in my apartment complex, which made everything so convenient, and they took great care of my little Millie. It gave me such peace of mind knowing she was in good hands. I’m so grateful for their help and will definitely be booking with them again. Thank you both! ❤️❤️❤️”
“5 out 5 stars… From the moment my fur baby, Luna recognized where she was going her body started to vibrate with excitement. Alex, is an incredible dog sitter who not only provided the cutest pictures throughout the day, but he was also able to address a concern I had about Luna with thoughtfulness and intelligence which speaks highly to his training abilities. Luna always returned to me at the end of the day a tired and well balanced pup. For these reasons and so much more, I highly recommend Alex for your dog sitting needs and look forward to rebooking him in the near future.”

“Griffin and Tuck bonded so well - which isn’t always the case for Tuck (he’s always friendly, but gets anxious leaving me), so I was immediately impressed! When tuck got back to me, he was elated, but tired. Griffin played a ton of fetch with Tuck, too, something I specially requested because it’s Tuck’s favorite thing! My dog is happy, a healthy level of tired, and satisfied :) excited to have Tuck and Griffin play together again!!”
About: Leaving your fur babies behind is never easy, but I’m here to give you total peace of mind. As a registered veterinary technician with 14 years of experience caring for animals, I’m happily stepping out of the clinic and into your home! My goal is to bring that same high level of medical expertise and attentiveness into the comfortable, stress-free environment where your pets feel safest. Whether your sweet pup or kitty needs a strict medical routine, or just an extra dose of love and belly rubs while you’re away, I promise to treat them exactly like my own. Because I work from home, I have the complete freedom and flexibility to closely adhere to your pet's individual daily routine and schedule. Whether that’s with drop-in visits, walks and exercise, or pet sitting in your home. Every pet has their own perfect pace, and I'm happy to match it. From leisurely walks along the strand/beach to high-energy games of fetch in the park or yard, or just cozying up for some serious couch-potato cuddles, your pet gets exactly the kind of day they love most. My extensive veterinary background equips me to handle pets that require specialized attention. I am highly experienced in administering oral and injectable medications. I have been fully trained in recognizing subtle animal behaviors, and tailor my care to meet their individual needs and personalities. I always respect their boundaries, move to their level of comfort, and use only positive and gentle handling so they feel safe and loved. My own experience caring for my beloved cranky 14 year old pup, who suffers from epilepsy and immune mediated illness, has taught me to be extremely observant, read body language meticulously, and proactively adapt environments to avoid negative situations. I am passionate about welcoming animals of all breeds, sizes, temperaments, and life stages—from energetic puppies and kittens to sweet seniors. I have 2 senior pups and a 26-year-old tortoise of my own! My love for animals is a huge part of who I am, even outside the clinic. While living in Southeast Asia, I spent my time volunteering with local rescue organizations, where I personally loved on and cared for over 200 dogs and puppies. From nursing injured and paralyzed pups to keeping up with daily feeding, bathing, and playtime, I was fully hands-on. Above all, your pet’s safety and happiness are at the heart of everything I do. I want you to feel like you're leaving your baby with a trusted friend. I pride myself on being reliable, attentive, and deeply compassionate, and I treat your home and pets with the utmost respect. I promise to keep you connected with plenty of sweet updates and photos along the way. I truly love going the extra mile to ensure that you can relax completely, knowing your furry family member is feeling loved, comfortable, and completely pampered. Can't wait to meet your best friend! Working from home gives me the complete flexibility to seamlessly match your pets daily routine. I am available for whatever your pet needs, from walks and feedings to drop-in’s and full pet sitting. Because my own grumpy senior pup doesn’t do well with new friends, I don’t offer care in my home. However, I’d love to keep your pets routine perfectly consistent by caring for them in their own familiar space.
“Katherine was very responsive and flexible on short notice. She was thorough in her review of the walk and provided great pictures. Our dog seemed comfortable with her. This was our first time using Rover, and she made it an easy experience.”

“Josh is my favorite walker for Miska . Josh knows how to handle my big dog who can be quite stubborn. She is not the easiest dog to walk with a husky like personality and her malamute size and so I really appreciate that he is comfortable with her and she with him and he always available to take her out when I am on travel. +he is flexible with my many change of plan. Really appreciate !!”

“Jasmine is great. She was caring and took the time to work with our anxious dog slowly. I would recommend her to anyone who has a small nervous dog that requires time.”
About: I’ve loved dogs and cats since the day I was born. I’m a dog (cat) mom and have worked with rescue animals. Being with animals brings me so much joy and it’s a job I take very seriously. I’m a full time dog walker, cat sitter and It has been my dream job for years. Sadly due to the circle of life, I’ve lost several animals (including my senior pup) recently and would love to have some new fur friends in my life. Having me in your home will give you a big piece of mind as I am very outgoing, respectful, clean, efficient, and believe in karma!
About: I have had lots of experience dog sitting and walking in the past. I have walked all different types and ages of dogs. I will make sure your dog is safe and has an amazing time on their walk. I work from home and have availability during the day to take breaks and take your dog for a walk if you're local. I also have time after work and on weekends for dog walks. Happy to dog sit. Always respectful of your place and will make sure it maintains the status you left it in. My apartment building does not allow dogs.
About: I've been caring for cats since I was atleast 8. One of our cats was a stray who I bonded with over many months and continue to bond with now even though she is a bit frosty in her old age. The trust we have built for each other has been a beautiful experience. My family rescued a senior dog in 2016 and I have helped to care for her since then. I have a soft spot for senior dogs and want to make them as comfortable as I can. I work part time at the LMU library so my hours are pretty minimal. I work Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday in the evenings. As I am hoping this will be a second source of income I am pretty flexible with my schedule as long as it doesn't interfere with my other job. I do not like to make a mess or any sort of impression in places that I visit. I am very patient with animals. If your pet is anxious or introverted I am fine to keep to myself completely or get to know them on their terms. I would never want to cross any line with a pet or homeowner.
About: My name is Maria Teresa and I have spent my entire life around animals. I have always felt they deserve the best! My genuine love for animals goes beyond any human comprehension. I always go above and beyond of what is expected of me because I have pets too and understand that they are our babies. I treat my babies like they are just that, babies! How could you not due to their pure innocent nature? I am a very responsible, loving and caring individual that will always have your pets best interest at heart. I intuitively know what is needed to connect with them, a gift that I discovered at a young age. I also love to laugh and play around so your pet will be highly entertained. You will never need to worry, your pet will be protected and cared for as if you never left. Please let me know how I can help you make your time away from your pet more carefree and manageable. I look forward to meeting you and your fur baby. MT I'm currently working part time and have a really flexible schedule so I can accommodate different time of the day and week,I can also stay over night as a pet sitter. I provide a safe ,clean and loving environment for all my dogs and cats babies. I stay in a pet friendly building with gates and security so everyone is safe.
About: Hi there! Thanks so much for stopping by my profile. . I'm a dependable, trustworthy animal lover and proud dog mom to two rescue pups, Chance and Kobe. Before them, I rescued a kitten from a shelter who lived to be 18 years old. She had diabetes, so I administered her insulin injections twice a day, every day, for years. . Today, Chance has Addison's disease and corneal edema, so I'm very experienced with administering oral medications, injections, eye drops, and eye ointments (all things he needs now! ❤️). I understand how important it is to follow medication schedules and provide calm, attentive care, especially for pets with medical needs. . I grew up with Dobermans and German Shepherds, which gave me a lot of senior dog experience as I cared for them as they grew old. I have hands-on experience with reactive dogs, including redirecting behaviors, reading body language, and reinforcing basic training. Because one of my own dogs is reactive, I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and respecting each pet's comfort level. I worked with multiple rescues, fostering dogs and cats (a lot of cats). I would rescue them from the euthanasia list at the high-kill shelters, administer meds, as they were always sick, care and foster them until they found their forever home. I also used to manage a doggy day care. . I am a working professional & work remotely, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to devote to the pets in my care. While I absolutely adore my dogs, I also miss spending time with cats and would love the opportunity to care for yours or your pups😉! . My pups are family and my BFFs; I do everything I can to give them the happiest, healthiest life possible. I'll care for your pets with that same level of love, patience, and attention, so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I currently work remote, which allows a somewhat flexible schedule to do drops-ins and walks. Since I have my own 2 pups, I'm not available for boarding or overnight stays. I would love to follow any instructions you give me so I can care for pet just as you would. Pets love routines and schedules so I will keep to whatever you tell me. I know what it's like to have sitters and want things done a specific way, I'm very good at paying attention to details. I'll send a text when I arrive and when I leave to make sure you know your pet is being cared for.

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.

“Lizzy provided reliability, reassurance, and comfort while watching our corgi girl, Socks, during a long daycare stay! It was our first time leaving our pup with a sitter and using Rover, as well as Socks’ first time with Lizzy but our nerves were quickly eased by her wonderful care. Lizzy was thoughtful in following the instructions I left and kept us updated throughout the day with plenty of photos and videos. She even managed to calm and comfort Socks after an unexpected fireworks display! We’re so thankful that Socks had such a positive experience with Lizzy and Aaron - our usually cautious pup even warmed up to them and gave snuggles, which says it all. We’ll definitely be booking with Lizzy again!”
“Megan was amazing! This was my first time leaving my puppy and I was so worried but he did great with Megan! She sent me pictures throughout the day and kept me updated with all the details with Knix! He came home happy and healthy. I will highly recommend Megan and she will be seeing Knix again!”

“We couldn’t be happier with Miri as our sitter! She took such wonderful care of my 8 year old rescue chow chow for a 5 day stay and my dog (Avery) was happy, comfortable, and clearly felt loved the entire time. Communication was excellent, and we always felt informed and at ease knowing she was in their hands. Daily photos were such a nice plus! Miri even went above and beyond to come to us for a meet and greet to make avery feel more comfortable in her own neighborhood. Avery) adjusted beautifully and seemed to genuinely enjoy her time with Miri and her bf. They both were around at home most of the time, which helped my rescue dog with her anxiety. We would absolutely book again and highly recommend Miri to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and attentive sitter!!”
“Mia was amazing with Dotty! We got so many updates and Dotty seemed so calm and happy. I loved how confident Mia was with our big sometimes complicated dog. We look forward to Dotty to staying with Mia again!”
“Valerie is amazing!! She’s fast at responding and is makes you feel at ease. We dropped goose off and she made it really easy to leave for the weekend knowing he was in good hands. She sent us updates multiple times a day and gave him lots of love! He was a really happy boy at the end of the weekend! Thank you :)”
“Shiyibin was absolutely AMAZING!!! It was our first time leaving little Penny and when we did the meet and great with her Penny immediately took to Shiyibin. She has great energy and is very communicative. She gave us updates and pictures and was exactly what we needed for Penny’s first stay away. We are so grateful and will be using her again in the future! 10/10”
