“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.”
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.
“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”
“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.”
“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 :)”
“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!”
“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!”
“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”
“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!”
“Keevon was great- he took great care of my dog and she fit right in to his calm surroundings. My dog came home calm and relaxed. It was a great fit and Keevon is very accommodating with time changes.”
“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.
“Natalia was very attentive and sent frequent updates. It was nice to know we’d get updates and not have to worry about the dog while we’re out of town. Def recommend!”
“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 :)”
“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!”
“Rose and her daughter Faye took very good care of my little frenchie. They sent frequent pictures and updates. Always responded quickly. Their dog Emma is an absolute sweetheart and seemed to get along with my high energy dog just fine. Their home is beautiful. The large gated front yard is perfect for dogs and includes a large patch of turf. My doggie came back happy and tired. They will be my sitters of choice for my future trips. Thank you!”
“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.”

“Savanna is an absolute sweetheart. Her report cards are the absolute best and I feel comforted and at ease, knowing that she’s there to care for my babies! Her timely communication is above and beyond excellent. And she always follows instructions to the letter. She will always be my first 📞call.”
“Samanta is such a thoughtful and caring person. You can absolutely trust her to take the best care of your pets. My cat is usually very shy, but she warmed right up to Samanta immediately. Samanta made sure to give my cat lots of stimulating play time, love and cuddles, and even introduced her to cat tv which kept her very entertained. She sent loads of pictures which was exactly what we were craving while we were away on vacation missing our little cat. Highly recommend Samanta for any pet sitting needs.”
“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!”

“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!”
“Wendy is awesome as per usual! She has helped me out with Benji multiple times, with the longest sit being for 16 days and I came back to a very happy cat. She is very communicative and sends pictures every time she dropped in. I would definitely keep rebooking with her :)”
“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.”
“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!”
“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!”
“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.”
“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!”
“My 20 year old cat 🐈⬛ loves Theresa. T is efficient, trustworthy and kind. And she has worked with us for a couple years now. I appreciate her communication style-she’s direct and no nonsense. We consider her a great friend and helper. Thank you for everything, Theresa- we 💜 you!”
“So incredibly grateful for Jordyn! I went on a trip for a week and she checked in with my cats for me. She was very communicative/responsive, sweet to my kitties, was flexible with things that popped up, and was reliable. Highly recommend if you want someone who will give the love and attention to your pets that they deserve!”
“Rebecca is great! She made our cats feel super comfortable and was very communicative. She definitely made me feel better about being away from my fur babies :)”
“Christian took amazing care of my cat DMX and my frogs over the long weekend, and I couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter. He was always on time, very attentive, and made sure everyone was comfortable, fed, and well cared for. It was obvious that he genuinely cared about my pets and paid close attention to their routines and needs. DMX absolutely loved him, which is not something I say lightly, and it gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was away. He also kept me updated and was very dependable throughout the entire stay. I came home to happy, relaxed pets and everything in perfect shape. I would absolutely trust Christian again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and caring pet sitter. Definitely a 5-star experience!”
“Kaya was a fantastic cat sitter- we had a last minute request and she not only did an in person meet and greet before we left, but she also provided great care for the cats. She somehow got them to flock to her on every visit and she took beautiful pictures of them to send us each day. Highly recommend her, I know we will be working with her again!”
“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 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.
“Jenna has been consistently reliable and I have booked her so many times I’ve lost count. When we arrive at Jenna’s for drop-off, Scarlet wags her tail and is clearly at ease. Your pet is in wonderful hands with Jenna. Thank you, always!”
“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!”
“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.”
“Since my wife and I both work full-time, we needed someone we could truly trust to care for our 11-week-old puppy. Shelby was incredible. She was so gentle, attentive, and treated our puppy’s schedule like it was her own. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our pup was in such good hands. I would absolutely recommend Shelby to anyone looking for reliable, loving care.”
“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.”
“Jessica really came through for me in a pickle. Quick to respond, flexible & friendly, she was patient with my nervous little guy… who was so excited to go visit her on his 2nd day, that I knew he had a good time. Definitely will continue to ask for her help in the future & certainly recommend her services. Thanks J!”
“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!”
“Yupee is a very intuitive dog person. I loved the way she gave my Juliet senior dog the space to be independent and longing for "mommy". Yupee created an atmosphere for Juliet to find her own comfort zone. By the way Juliet's comfort zone was mostly hanging out near the door and guarding the front door activity in case I appeared. For a first visit, I did not expect Juliet to be the adventure seeking girl she once was years ago. Knowing that Juliet's attentive nature was perfectly in the realm of OK behavior, let me know Yupee understood the both active and attentive dogs. Yupee offered stellar communication, care and understanding with Juliet. . A true bonus Yupee is very understanding with people as well. I look forward to establishing a lasting relationship for Juliet and myself with Yupee.”
“Barbara was so helpful and reliable when I sent a last minute request for care for my girl. She took such great care of her and I can’t wait to book with her again!! 💛 thank you Barbara!”
“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.”

“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. 🙏🙏🙏”
“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 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 :)
“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!”
“Melissa was terrific. She was available on short notice and walked my dog Rocky 5 times over 3 days. Rocky loved Melissa. She was on time and did a great job. I would definitely call Melissa again.”
“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”
“Mallory was wonderful and a true life saver! Work came up and nobody was able to be home with Moose for his mid day walk. Mallory accepted a super last minute request and was even willing to walk him a second time on the spot when I realized I’d be away even longer. She was very communicative and shared lovely pictures that prove Moose enjoyed her company. Thank you!”

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.
“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! ❤️”
