“Sammy had so much fun with Helena and Butter. She sent me so many updates and pictures of his walks, park adventure, and being pampered at home. She kept me very up to date; I didn’t miss Sammy as much as I usually do when I have to board him. She was great! Highly recommend.”
“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!”
“We had an amazing experience with Elizabeth! She took such great care of our dog, Charcoal, and kept us updated with regular photos and messages, which gave us complete peace of mind. It was clear that Charcoal was happy, comfortable, and well looked after throughout the stay. We truly appreciate the love, patience, and attention they gave him. We wouldn’t hesitate to book again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy dog sitter. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of Charcoal!”
“Keevon and his dog, Q-pid were great! Very friendly, communicative and provided regular updates and pics, flexible with drop off and pick up, and was more than happy to do a meet-and-greet before. Clean and comfy place for our dogs, who had a lot of fun! Thank you both! Highly recommend!”
“Lyndsey was such a great sitter for my baby Gatsby. She and Justin made him feel at home and gave him lots of love and attention while we were gone. She sent lots of pictures for updates and communication was constant and timely. Gatsby was smiling the whole time he was there and pictures don’t lie! We would not hesitate to board Gatsby with Lyndsey again. Thank you for such a wonderful stay!”
“Poppy had soooo much fun with Brandy and her pups while I was on a trip! She can’t wait to stay with them again. Brandy sent great updates every day, so I was able to see how happy Poppy was settling in, playing, and exploring.”
About: I genuinely love spending time with dogs, and I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member. As a dog owner myself, I know every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you're away. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I'm happy to provide personalized care that matches what they're used to at home. I believe consistency, patience, and positive interactions help dogs feel secure and happy. I'm attentive to the little details, from making sure they get plenty of exercise and fresh water to sending regular photo updates so you can relax knowing your dog is having a great time. My goal is for every dog to feel like they're with a trusted friend, not just a sitter. Pet care is currently my full-time focus, which means I have a very flexible schedule and can dedicate my time and attention to the pets in my care. I recently moved back to Los Angeles, and I'm excited to spend this chapter doing something I truly enjoy, caring for dogs and helping give pet owners peace of mind. Because this is my primary commitment, I'm available for walks, drop-in visits, daycare, and overnight stays, including weekdays, weekends, and many holidays. I have the flexibility to stick to your dog's usual routine, whether that means early morning walks, midday potty breaks, evening playtime, or extra cuddle time. I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where pets can feel relaxed and at home. I live in a townhouse with a securely fenced yard, giving dogs a safe outdoor space to play, explore, and enjoy fresh air under my supervision. I know every pet is different, so I always tailor my care to their individual needs and your preferences. Whether your dog is energetic and loves long walks and playtime or prefers a quieter routine with lots of affection, I'm happy to accommodate their usual schedule. I'll follow your instructions for feeding, exercise, medications (if needed), crate routines, and any special care to help your pet feel comfortable and maintain consistency.
“Jennifer has become a second family for our little Agnes. Jennifer is caring, responsive and accommodating. We will continue to have Jennifer dog sit for us as long as she is willing to! Would recommend 5/5.”
“Rebecca took very good care of my dog. My dog can be a little jumpy at first and a little aggressive but Rebecca was sweet and understanding that it takes my dog a little time to get to know strangers. She took pictures and sent me updates daily. My dog got pretty comfortable with Rebecca as was evident in the pictures she sent. LOL! She is also very quick to respond to texts. I will definitely book her again!”
“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.”
“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”
“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”
“I booked a last minute sitting with Emily and she was so accommodating and helpful! She was so sweet with my kitty and definitely booking with her in the future:)”
“Rayna was absolutely amazing with our 9 lb Pomeranian who has high energy. Everyday she sent pictures and he looked so happy hanging out with her. She was responsive and very easy to communicate with. I highly recommend her and would book her in a heartbeat if we’re out of town again!”
“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!”
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.
“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: I have grown up around all kinds of dogs my whole life, so taking care of dogs is easy and fun for me. I have dog sat all types of dogs including dogs that are blind, very old, large high energy, and small timid dogs. I work remote so I’m home all day to take care of dogs and go for walks. I can pick them up in the morning and drop them off at night as well, or they can spend the night if needed. I can also come to your house in the evenings or weekends for check ins or overnights. I live in a beautiful apartment that your dog will love, and will likely meet some of the cool neighbor dogs on our walks. I have a spare parking spot too.

“Best cat sitter award goes to Kaya! We hired kaya to catsit for us while we were out of town and we couldn’t have had a better sitter. Our cat has a very specific routine everyday which can be overwhelming and Kaya did not have any problems. She went above and beyond making our cat feel loved and cared for. She constantly updated us with photos and videos. She is very responsive whenever we contact her and respective of our home.”
“Jennifer took amazing care of my cat, Dim Sum, while I was away. She was incredibly communicative and sent detailed updates with lots of pictures after every visit, which gave me so much peace of mind. I truly felt that Dim Sum was in the best hands. Jennifer took the time to pet, brush, and play with her, and it was clear she genuinely cared about her well-being, not just completing the visits. I came home to a happy, relaxed cat and wouldn’t hesitate to book Jennifer again. Highly recommend!”
“James is the absolute best. He gives great updates and his communication is excellent. He took great care of my two cats. They are really comfortable with him and he made sure they got a lot of attention while we were away. He really goes the extra mile. 10/10!”
“Carol is the best! We’re beyond thankful for the care and attention she gave our cats. Trustworthy, kind and thoughtful throughout an extended time away due to Covid-19 - Carol gave us peace of mind through an otherwise difficult time.”
“10/10!! No complaints. Overall fantastic, attentive, & communicative petsitter, you can tell she genuinely loves animals— she even gave me suggestions for toys/litterboxes for my cats which was greatly appreciated. Not only is she incredible but her prices are also very, very fair compared to a lot of what I had been seeing be charged on this app.”
“Aolani is a total rockstar and cat whisper! My cat, Sammy, is typically shy with new people but he warmed up to Aolani after just a couple of visits. Love that he got lots of love while we’re were away. 10/10 would book again!”
“My regular cat sitter was not available for the dates I needed, so this was my first time booking Kalee. She is very sweet and reliable. My elderly cat is taking several oral medications and eats a special diet. She carefully followed all my instructions. I would definitely use her again if needed.”
“I could not have asked for a better sitter for my 9-year old cat than Ien. She was extremely communicative and easy to work with. I would definitely recommend her to any other pet parent!”
“Melissa was amazing! She took such good care of our cat and our apartment! Honestly our cat barely noticed we left…Would highly recommend Melissa to anyone whose pet needs some good company!”
“Wendy was incredible!! She is so kind and I could tell because after the meet and greet, my cat was already crying for her. She sent me so many photos, great updates, and gave him so much love. She also made sure his litter and food area was very clean. So glad I found her!!”
“Bryn is my favorite cat sitter on Rover! I’m an anxious pet parent due to some behavioral peculiarities that my cat has, and Bryn handles it all with so much care and responsibility. She always is punctual, has great communication, and sends at least twice daily updates with multiple photos and details about my cat’s eating, litter box, mood, sleep, and behavior. She always leaves my apartment tidy and clean, and handles any issues that come up (this most recent visit was the automatic feeder not working- she noticed, first of all, and trouble shot it to get it resolved promptly). I always feel at ease when Bryn is watching my precious guy and trust her to handle any problems that come up. I can’t recommend her more, thank you Bryn!”

“Ximena is fantastic! every time she checked in she left a note with all the details of what she did and how the cats were doing. she sends lots of pictures, and goes above and beyond - she even took out the trash before we got home!”
About: I’ve been cat-obsessed since I was a kid—fostering kittens, caring for senior cats, and falling in love with every purr and quirky personality along the way. I know how particular (and perfect) cats can be, and I’m here to offer calm, loving, and respectful care that honors their routines, moods, and boundaries. Whether your kitty’s a lap lounger or a laser chaser, I’ll treat them like royalty.

“Pepper had a great time with Chelsi and her family! He especially loved playing with Leo, who is such a sweet boy. Chelsi is also very communicative, we loved all the photos and videos she sent during Pepper’s stay.”
“Shelby was a great dog sitter! I booked her to watch my dog for the day and she was super responsive and great at communication, regarding any concerns and questions. She was flexible with the pick up and drop off times when I communicated my plans with her. Would definitely book her again and recommend her to everyone!”
“We were very satisfied with Keevon’s work taking care of our baby Happy. Our pup was very excited going to his daycare where he could hangout with his doggie friend Q-Pid. Keevon kept us updated with photos and text messages of Happy’s stay. We definitely recommend Keevon’s service.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Second time my dog has had daycare with Kathleen and she sent me cute photos and my dog looked happy and relaxed. The Rover Card completion is always appreciated. Looking forward to the next one!”
“So thankful I found Emily. I’m on a journey to make my little guy more comfortable and independent without me and his visits with Emily are going well. Emily makes my boy Kruz feel comfortable. She’s timely, responsive, accommodating and kind.”
“Salud has been great for my pup. She accepted my last minute request so we could attend a Special Olympics fundraiser and Im so thankful. We will continue to be a customer as long as we're in the area.”
“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! ❤️❤️❤️”

I am typically busy in the mornings but am completely free during the afternoons and into the night! I live in an apartment just outside of UCLA campus. There are plenty of parks and fields nearby, perfect for walks! I do not have any animals in the current apartment, but have a dog and cat at my home in Texas! I know how to care for pets, keep them safe and healthy, and prevent them from being lonely.
“Maggie did a fantastic job to take care of our puppy Dundun. Our puppy was a bit timid initially. Thankfully in less than an hour, Maggie sent us both pic and video where Dundun start to enjoy the stay. You can easily tell that she truly loves dogs and is willing to spent quality time w/ them. Highly recommend to anyone who is looking for a great dog sitter.”
“Fran was incredible with our two pugs for daycare! She sent adorable photos of them on walks and exploring her backyard. She was communicative and an awesome sitter - thanks Fran!! We would 100% hire again!”

I have flexible schedule on weekdays and weekends and would love to work together to find the right time(s) for walks, visits, etc. Let’s talk! Safety is of the utmost importance to me.

“I can't recommend Egle highly enough. She has been absolutely fantastic with my miniature schnauzer, Alfie. From day one, it was clear that she has a natural ability with dogs and genuinely cares about the animals she works with. One thing I particularly appreciate is that she's willing to incorporate specific training and behavioral reinforcement during walks. Whenever I've asked her to work on something with Alfie, she's been incredibly receptive and consistent, which has made a noticeable difference. It's rare to find someone who goes beyond simply walking your dog and actively helps reinforce good habits. She's also exceptionally reliable. She's always on time, communicates proactively and provides thoughtful, detailed updates after each walk. The notes and photos give me confidence that Alfie is getting great care and allow me to stay informed on how he's doing. Most importantly, Alfie absolutely loves her. It's obvious she knows how to connect with dogs, and I always feel completely comfortable knowing he's in her care. If you're looking for someone who is dependable, professional, knowledgeable and genuinely great with dogs, I would wholeheartedly recommend”
“Hi Carolina, Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of Ulises! He was in great hands, and the walks helped him burn off so much energy, which definitely made life easier for us. We’d be happy to have you walk him again anytime! Uli also sends a big thank you. We really appreciated how responsible you were and how you kept us updated throughout the day—it gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was doing well. We’re so grateful we could count on you these past few days. You were such a huge help, and we truly appreciate everything you did for Ulises. Thank you again! ❤️”
About: Having spent my life with dogs I know the love and joy they bring and always want to return the favor. I give dogs attention and playtime while also being attentive to when they need breaks and giving them time to slow down. I am currently working independently so I love to spend as much time as possible with pets. I have lots of availability for walks and check ins and am able to work my other job while dog sitting which offers even more flexibility. I live in Brentwood which is a very dog friendly area, perfect for walks and near the beach if you are interested in having me take your dog on a field trip! I always ensure that there is somewhere for your dog to cool off, I always keep water available, and I feed them on schedule but only give special treats if you want me to.
“Mallory was amazing, she is a kind, caring and attentive person. I felt immediately comfortable meeting her and it was a great experience overall! My little Nugget Remy also appreciated her very much!”
“Lili is a very kind and thoughtful sitter. She was flexible with us and accommodated some changes to our schedule. She communicated well and always let us know what was going on with our dog while we were away. It was all greatly appreciated. We will definitely be asking her to watch her the next time we go out of town!”

“Brian and his girlfriend have been wonderful walkers for my dog, Murphy. They’re reliable and communicative, and have expertly navigated situations when my more senior dog refuses to leave the sofa 😂. Would highly recommend for anyone looking for a reliable dog walker or watcher in the Berkeley area!”
“Carol was wonderful! Very responsive and warm- I had no doubt Chompers was in good hands! She sent me a detailed report afterward about peeing/pooping and their route. Would definitely book again!”
About: While I’m new to Rover and building my profile, I’m not new to caring for animals. I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life and have experience with pets of different ages, personalities, and needs. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision, so I make communication a priority and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. Growing up, I also helped at a shelter with my mom, which gave me early experience working with animals of different temperaments and needs. I truly love animals and enjoy making them feel safe, happy, and comfortable. I’m very active and love spending time outdoors, especially hiking. I used to take my last dog, Loulou, on adventures with me, and I would love to have a furry companion to explore nature with. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or just keeping them company, I treat every pet like my own. I’m excited to earn the trust of both pets and their owners by providing reliable, loving care every time. I’m also flexible with location and can help with pick-up and drop-off if that makes things easier. Pet care fits easily into my routine since I currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule. I’m consistently available on Wednesdays, Fridays, and often on weekends, and I can plan my days around the needs of the pets I’m caring for. On the days I’m available, I make sure to dedicate quality time to each pet whether that’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just giving them attention and companionship. I enjoy being active, so incorporating walks or outdoor time into my day feels very natural to me. I’m also attentive to each pet’s routine and will adjust my schedule to match their usual habits as closely as possible, helping them feel comfortable and secure. When caring for pets, I always focus on keeping them comfortable, safe, and as close to their normal routine as possible. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any specific preferences or habits the pet has. In my home, I create a calm and clean environment where pets can relax and feel at ease. I make sure they have plenty of attention, playtime, and regular walks, along with a safe space to rest. I’m attentive to their behavior and mood to ensure they’re happy and not stressed.
About: Hello! I'm a trustworthy, caring, pet & plant lover with years of pet- & home-sitting experience under my leash… er, belt. My very first foray into pet-sitting was as a teenager, when a family friend asked me to care for their pet rabbit while away. That lovely little rabbit was a great teacher – one lesson that really stuck was how all creatures are sacred, and deserving of love & respect. These days I most commonly look after dogs & cats, but also have experience with smaller animals (fish, birds, iguanas..), and have sat house for friends, family & strangers alike, the world over. I returned to the US after living & working abroad for several years, and am currently based in lovely and iconic Highland Park. I work from home, so no problem keeping your four-legged(s) company through the days, and providing ample outdoor breaks. I also have a daily meditation practice, which many of the pets I look after find either odd, amazing, or nothing special at all. Some have even been known to join in with me! I’d love to meet you and your furries, so please don’t hesitate to reach out any time. And if you’d like to speak with any of my previous clients, they’d be more than happy to give a reference. Thanks for checking me out – I hope to connect with you soon! As mentioned, I work from home. I'm online with clients for several hours of the day. All I really need is a good wifi connection and a (relatively) quiet place to work. My schedule is also quite flexible, so I can set longer breaks and rearrange my start and end times to better suit your pet's needs. Of course all the usual feeding, outdoor breaks, walking, snuggling, positive communication and energy. And then, as per the pet's and client's needs, I'm open and able to provide the best experience possible for your furries.
“Michelle is a GEM!!! She responded promptly to all my neurotic Mommy queries & directions & my Stella was SO HAPPY walking with Michelle. I know my dog & the pics & video showed how comfortable she was with Michelle. Excellent dog walker!!!”
About: I have been taking care of my friends pets for years and now would love to do it for so many other lovely people pets. I am an extreme animal lover with a special place in my heart for cats though. I will treat you’re pet like it’s my own with love and care. I am willing to almost anything to make sure you’re pet feels comfortable and gets treated just the same as you would. I haves owned cats, a couple who needed extra care, most of life so I am very comfortable with them at whatever they need. I personally have not owned a dog but have been around them my own life and can accommodate to most needs if I am told and explained what to do! I currently work from home and I’m able to accommodate most scheduling needs whether early in the morning late at night or in the middle of the day as long as I have a bit of heads up to adjust my schedule. If close by I can also accommodate multiple check-in a day and really anything that you need! When it comes to checking on your pet or taking them for a walk, I am overly cautious when it comes to animals that like to make a run for it (My cat is an escape artist), As well as just listening to any important instructions from you or warnings, I should know about!
About: Hi! I'm a reliable and caring pet lover with over ten years of experience looking after dogs and cats. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, whether that means going for walks, playing fetch, cuddling on the couch, or simply keeping them company. I'm also happy caring for cats and love getting to know each pet's unique personality and routine. I work remotely as a grant writer for nonprofit arts organizations, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to spend plenty of quality time with the pets in my care. I'm passionate about making and experiencing art, and I bring the same creativity, attention to detail, and responsibility to pet sitting. When I'm not writing or creating art, you can usually find me spending time with friends, practicing yoga, or baking. I'm excited to provide your pets with loving companionship and attentive care while giving you peace of mind that your home and furry family members are in good hands. As a remote grant writer, I have the flexibility to provide pets with plenty of attention throughout the day. Spending time with pets is genuinely one of my favorite parts of life. I provide attentive, personalized care based on each pet's routine and needs. In a client's home, I aim to keep pets comfortable by maintaining their normal schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, medication (if needed), and plenty of affection. I understand that consistency helps pets feel secure while their owners are away, so I follow all care instructions carefully and keep owners updated with regular messages and photos. When caring for pets, I make sure they receive plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, and companionship. For dogs, that may include walks, playtime, and outdoor breaks. For cats, I enjoy interactive play, enrichment activities, and quiet companionship on their terms. I also treat every home with respect, keeping things clean and secure while providing reliable, responsible care for both pets and property.

I’ve cared for energetic puppies, senior pets, nervous rescues, and multi-pet households, so I understand that every animal has different needs and comfort levels. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone, and I take that responsibility seriously.

“Sammy had so much fun with Helena and Butter. She sent me so many updates and pictures of his walks, park adventure, and being pampered at home. She kept me very up to date; I didn’t miss Sammy as much as I usually do when I have to board him. She was great! Highly recommend.”
“We had an amazing experience with Elizabeth! She took such great care of our dog, Charcoal, and kept us updated with regular photos and messages, which gave us complete peace of mind. It was clear that Charcoal was happy, comfortable, and well looked after throughout the stay. We truly appreciate the love, patience, and attention they gave him. We wouldn’t hesitate to book again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy dog sitter. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of Charcoal!”
“Lyndsey was such a great sitter for my baby Gatsby. She and Justin made him feel at home and gave him lots of love and attention while we were gone. She sent lots of pictures for updates and communication was constant and timely. Gatsby was smiling the whole time he was there and pictures don’t lie! We would not hesitate to board Gatsby with Lyndsey again. Thank you for such a wonderful stay!”
About: I genuinely love spending time with dogs, and I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member. As a dog owner myself, I know every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you're away. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I'm happy to provide personalized care that matches what they're used to at home. I believe consistency, patience, and positive interactions help dogs feel secure and happy. I'm attentive to the little details, from making sure they get plenty of exercise and fresh water to sending regular photo updates so you can relax knowing your dog is having a great time. My goal is for every dog to feel like they're with a trusted friend, not just a sitter. Pet care is currently my full-time focus, which means I have a very flexible schedule and can dedicate my time and attention to the pets in my care. I recently moved back to Los Angeles, and I'm excited to spend this chapter doing something I truly enjoy, caring for dogs and helping give pet owners peace of mind. Because this is my primary commitment, I'm available for walks, drop-in visits, daycare, and overnight stays, including weekdays, weekends, and many holidays. I have the flexibility to stick to your dog's usual routine, whether that means early morning walks, midday potty breaks, evening playtime, or extra cuddle time. I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where pets can feel relaxed and at home. I live in a townhouse with a securely fenced yard, giving dogs a safe outdoor space to play, explore, and enjoy fresh air under my supervision. I know every pet is different, so I always tailor my care to their individual needs and your preferences. Whether your dog is energetic and loves long walks and playtime or prefers a quieter routine with lots of affection, I'm happy to accommodate their usual schedule. I'll follow your instructions for feeding, exercise, medications (if needed), crate routines, and any special care to help your pet feel comfortable and maintain consistency.
“Jennifer has become a second family for our little Agnes. Jennifer is caring, responsive and accommodating. We will continue to have Jennifer dog sit for us as long as she is willing to! Would recommend 5/5.”
“Liliana, aka Lily, was an absolute gem. I had a last minute need, just a few days before boarding my dog with Lily, and she was very responsive and receptive! I picked her because of her ratings and proximity to where we were staying during our visit to LA. Every day, we kept seeing and running into her walking my dog! She was so attentive to my pet's needs for walks and cuddles. I feel very lucky to have found Liliana & Ryan L.”
“Rebecca took very good care of my dog. My dog can be a little jumpy at first and a little aggressive but Rebecca was sweet and understanding that it takes my dog a little time to get to know strangers. She took pictures and sent me updates daily. My dog got pretty comfortable with Rebecca as was evident in the pictures she sent. LOL! She is also very quick to respond to texts. I will definitely book her again!”
“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.”
“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!”
About: I have grown up around all kinds of dogs my whole life, so taking care of dogs is easy and fun for me. I have dog sat all types of dogs including dogs that are blind, very old, large high energy, and small timid dogs. I work remote so I’m home all day to take care of dogs and go for walks. I can pick them up in the morning and drop them off at night as well, or they can spend the night if needed. I can also come to your house in the evenings or weekends for check ins or overnights. I live in a beautiful apartment that your dog will love, and will likely meet some of the cool neighbor dogs on our walks. I have a spare parking spot too.
“Mia is fantastic. She is very considerate, accommodating as well as incredibly responsive and communicative. She promised that I would feel as if I were right by my dog while I was gone and she certainly delivered! She makes sure to give your furry friend the love and attention they need and I wouldn’t ask any other to look after Duchess.”
“Alejandro was great—very communicative and our pup clearly loved him! He even got our dog to eat, which is rare for his first time staying with someone. Will happily book with Alejandro again!”
“Tyler was a fantastic sitter for my dog Rus! He was extremely caring, and Rus warmed up to him fast. He was easy to communicate with the entire time and sent lots of updates. I would highly recommend Tyler!”
“Travis has watched our pup multiple times and has always been terrific. He gives daily updates, keeps her on her schedule and makes her feel at home. She has always come back happy and well cared for. We would recommend Travis to any friend and will continue to use him for our dog for future boarding and walks. He’s the best!”
“Angela did an outstanding job while taking care of our dog for a week. I was kept updated on a daily basis about Ralphie’s behavior and any concerns or questions. Angela sent me many photos of Ralphie at home and from walks. She gave him a bath before we picked him up. Angela accommodated and was very clear about the drop off and pickup instructions. No fuss. Although, this was my first time that we had Angela taking care of Ralphie, I was completely relieved. Ralphie was very happy and was probably disappointed having to leave Angela and her paw-friendly home. Angela will be my go-to pet-sitter in the future and we greatly appreciate her. Thank you Angela for your amazing care!”
“Our Monk took a shine to Miri and Phillip right away, and we felt assured they would take good care of our pup. They were patient and kind with Monk, and kept him busy with visits to the beach, and we got the feeling that they gave him lots of love while we were gone. We think Monk sees them as part of the family now! Miri kept us in the loop with pictures and video, and our puppy was happy when we got him back. We wouldn’t hesitate to have Monk stay with her again.”
“my shy only child got a chance to spend some time around other dogs and cats while i was away. Barbara said they brought her around everywhere they went and tried buying her wet food and treats since she wasn't eating her kibble (but she just doesn't really eat in unfamiliar settings). pretty responsive!”
“Wonderful sitter for our two cats for the weekend! Made sure they were safe and well taken after. Will definitely like to use again so cats can continue to get more comfortable with the overall experience.”
“Jamie and Todd are incredible people, who we felt genuinely loved our pup as much as we do. Our pup got spoiled, and it shows with how much our dog loved them. 100000/10 would recommend for dog sitting. Thank you Jamie and Todd!”
