About: Whether you have a shy cat who I have to sit next to the bed and wait to feed, or a chatter box who tackles me at the door I'm good and patient with all types of cats. I've raised kittens from 3 months old to caring for a 22 year old senior cat. Medications? no problem! sometimes just some quality play time while you're away is all, I'm happy to be a familiar face while you're away :) **I can also bathe Sphynx cats**
About: I’ve always been a dog person! I grew up around animals and have had both cats and dogs my whole life. For the past 14 years, I’ve also cared for friends’, family members’, and neighbors’ pets, so I’m experienced with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I love getting outside for walks—whether it’s a quick neighborhood stroll or a longer adventure, whatever is best for your pup. I had a baby in February, and we’ve made daily walks and hikes part of our routine. Since losing my own dog in May, I’ve really missed having a furry walking companion. I’ll typically have my baby with me, either in a stroller or baby carrier, so your dog will need to be comfortable around babies. I’m reliable, patient, and will treat your dog like my own. I’ll always make sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, and love, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you know they’re having a great time. I’m currently a stay-at-home mom, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet care. I’m able to provide walks, check-ins, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I love having animals as part of my routine and enjoy making sure they get the attention, exercise, and care they need. I only offer pet care in the client’s home, as I have a cat of my own who prefers being the only furry friend in the house. In your home, I’ll make sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for by providing lots of love, feeding, walks, playtime, and attention. I’ll also help keep things tidy along the way so your home is just as you left it.
About: No, I had already been working with cats at my job. I never had a pet. About two years ago I decided to adopt my first cat at the harbor shelter. That was an entire different experience than taking care of a dog. They’re mostly on their own, but they definitely love love and cuddles. Then a year later I was blessed with the second cat that my mom found on the street. This cat was a neonate kitten. I have never taken care of such a small kitten before, even in my own profession, the biggest cats that we see, or at least two months. This kid and was a couple of days old I managed to bottlefeed him and woke up at every meow, took him to work with me, and he survived and grow to be a phenomenal cat.
“Roselyn did a great job taking care of my kitten. She followed all instructions well and provided detailed check in notes with pictures. My kitten really likes her as he played with her during both check ins. She also played with him and made sure he had enough food and water before leaving.”
“Alycia was a great cat sitter and very easy to correspond with. She sent pictures and helped with a last minute plant watering request as well. I was very comfortable having her come to my apartment and would recommend to anyone!”
About: Whether your pet needs walk or play time I’m here and happy to help! Short or long walks, or if you need someone to come by and pet sit you have a reliable and experienced person! Due to my open availability my schedule is flexible and I can try and accommodate the time that works best for you and your pet. Safety is the most important thing for me. I can guarantee your doggo would be happy and safe. Your pet is in good hands with me!
“Heather is always my go to for cat sitting! I always get detailed reports and photos, and come back to a clean litter box, fresh food and water. Definitely recommend, I've been using Heather as my only cat sitter for almost a year!”
“This was my first time using Rover, and it was hands down the BEST experience I could have asked for, especially with Chris caring for my dog & cat! 🐾 Chris has incredible communication skills and kept me updated every step of the way, which gave me so much peace of mind :) He is also extremely punctual and reliable, especially when it comes to feeding and walking schedules, which meant everything to me & more. The level of love and care he showed my animals was truly top notch. He followed every instruction perfectly and still found ways to go above and beyond in so many thoughtful ways. For the first time in a very long time, I was actually able to relax and disconnect from “pet mom mode” because I knew my animals were being cared for exactly how I would care for them, if not even better. I also loved the pictures Chris sent, you could genuinely see how much fun my pets were having with him, and somehow he even got my cat to come out and play, which says everything. If you’re thinking about booking with Chris, do it!!! You’ll thank me later & your pets will gain a new best friend 🐾”
About: I absolutely love cats and their unique personalities 🐱💛 I’ve cared for many cats over the years for friends, family, and families I’ve worked with, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with them—whether that’s giving belly rubs, little scratches, playtime, or just being a calm presence nearby. I’m very intuitive with animals and respect each cat’s personality, whether they’re cuddly or more independent. I’ve also done overnight stays and even taken some cats on little walks! My goal is always to make your cat feel safe, relaxed, and loved while you’re away.
About: I've had pets all my life and I currently have 4 of my own. I am someone that can be trusted with your pets and they will be cared for just like my own. I'm a freelance performer and my availability is very flexible. Should someone need a last minute sitter I am the person to call. I try to be active with my fur babies and I will make sure they are fully stimulated so they are behaved and happy when the owner gets them back. I have 2 dogs and 2 cats to keep your baby company. I also have extra crates if needed. I take them to the beach
About: We both grew up with dogs. We currently have 1 cat which we have had for 10 years, a large dog, and a medium sized dogs. This collection of pets gives us a good amount of experience in caring for different types of pets as well as how they interact with each other. In addition to our own pets we have also cared for some of our friends pets overnight on many occasions and have shared houses with roommates who have also had dogs and cats. I have no prior professional experience caring for others pets, do I m a behavioral psychologist who has worked with neurodivergent children for many years and can apply these concepts to pet care. One of us works from home 5 days a week and the other works from home 2 days a week. With the exception of some meetings, can be flexible to provide care at most times of the day. In our experience, that dogs and cats crave more than anything else is safety, trust, and an understanding of the ways they attempt to communicate with you. Our pets are capable of being on their own when needed, but when we are around they never leave our sides even for a moment. They are obedience as trained through positive reinforcement and socialization through meaningful experiences. They look to us for guidance, but we also like to challenge them to think for themselves to solve problems such as getting a to out of reach or navigating to us when the path is not visibly clear. I give this level of attention and support to every pet I meet and know how to build a relationship of trust and respect quickly and effectively. Even pets belonging to former roommates tend to follow me more than their owners after enough time.
About: Need someone to check in on your cat while you’re away? I’d love to help! I provide reliable drop-in visits for cats throughout San Pedro, Long Beach, Torrance, and nearby South Bay communities. Whether your cat is social and playful or prefers a quiet companion, I’m happy to follow their routine and care for them at their own pace. Each visit can include fresh food and water, litter box cleaning, playtime, treats (if approved), medication when needed, and plenty of updates and photos so you know they’re doing well while you’re away. My goal is to make your cat feel safe and comfortable in their own home while giving you peace of mind during your trip.
“Have been using him for dog sitting for months now and have now also had him drop in to say hi to our bird and cat. Always very pleased with his care! My dog is older and has special needs, in addition to pretty bad separation anxiety. My dog doesn't put up much of a fuss going to his house, which is a testament to how much he likes Armando, his wife, and Buddah! He was also very accomodating with the drop in visit- we had set up the TV to play while we were gone and it messed up, but he was willing to follow the instructions we sent to fix it so that the animals can have entertainment again! Very thankful to have found such a caring and quality sitter.”
About: Hello! I am 28 years old and I’ve had cats and dogs my entire life, and caring for animals has always felt second nature to me. I’ve personally trained every dog I’ve owned, including my two 4 year old male German Shepherds Taurus and Aries, my 7 year old male tabby cat Vander and my 3 year old female calico Kiki so I’m very comfortable with large breeds, strong personalities, and high energy pups and cats. I believe animals respond best to calm, steady energy and consistency. I’m patient, attentive, and naturally in tune with their needs whether that’s playtime, structure, reassurance, or just quiet companionship. Your fur baby won’t just be “watched” in my care they’ll be understood, respected, and treated like family.
About: I adore cats and understand their unique personalities and comfort levels. Whether your kitty is a social butterfly, shy and timid, or a just takes time getting to know you, I adjust to whatever makes them feel safe and respected. I’m great with: • Slow introductions • Routine-based feeding • Litter box care • Playtime • Anxious or sensitive kitties who need a calm, patient sitter • Photo/Video updates My goal is to make your cat feel relaxed, secure, and cared for while you’re away, without disrupting their routine or space. I am always respectful of your home and follow instructions closely.

I am currently a stay at home mom/wife ..so I will have plenty time to give needed attention to the doggies and nice play time as well. I have a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely play, have potty breaks and enjoy the outdoors. My apartment community also has a dog park, plenty of grassy areas, and a walking trail, providing lots of opportunities for exercise, playtime, potty breaks, and exploration. I make sure every dog gets the activity, attention, and care they need while staying in a safe, comfortable environment.

“Sylvia was amazing! She kept me updated on my two dogs throughout their stay in her home and made sure they got plenty of playtime ! I would highly recommend her and plan to rebook !”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a child. We had 3 dogs, unfortunately they all passed due to old age recently. We would love having your dog as part of our family while the visit. I treat them like my own kid, lots of play, cuddle, balls and going on nice walks. Dogs have been a big part of how I describe who I am, I also rescue dogs and help them find loving forever homes. We have a huge fenced yard and leave close to a park, we love to go on walks and stay active. I currently work part-time so I have the ability to mindfully attend to your fur baby. I am also a very organized person and send updated timely with photos. I have a super large fenced large and lots of tennis balls (left overs from my dogs who passed last year). I also have a park 5 min from my house.
“Arriyanna did such a great job taking care of Emma, she gave her lots of attention and made sure that she was ok. Despite it being Valentine’s Day and a rainy day at that she worked out perfectly. She also kept me posted on how my girl was doing so definitely recommend leaving your furry one with her! ???”
“Traci is the best. She really love dogs and she is so sweet with them. Not only that, she really cares about people and is really empathetic about the needs of the doggies and the owners. She is really flexible about times and plans. For sure I will look for her the next time that we go back to Los Angeles. Thank you very much for everything Traci.”
“Nicholas and Carole are the best! Our 8-month old high energy dog Fozzy loved his time there and slept so well at home afterwards, and even the next day! Nicholas took him on fun walks, exercised him with play time in their backyard, and let him run and play with their dog Bruce. They sent frequent photo and videos during the day. They even got him to go potty right before I picked him up, so that I wouldn't have to do that after we got home late at night. We hope to book them again in the future!”
“Thank you so much! She is BEST sitter for us. She sent many photos for us. So We could know how our fur baby were doing. My dog had a very relaxing stay and is very good condition the next day. We'll definitely request again next time.”
“Courtnie was very accommodating for my two dogs. I needed someone for long term daycare multiple times per week, and I was having trouble finding someone I trust. She was very knowledgeable about dog behaviors, and how to make it a safe environment for all the pups. I felt safe leaving my dogs in her hands, as she seems very experienced. She is now my doggie day care provider, and I don't plan on changing! Her prices are very reasonable as well.”
About: Hi! I may not have a ton of recent reviews, but I’ve been on Rover since 2019, and animals have always been my passion 🐾 I currently work as a relief veterinary assistant at CAMP LA in San Pedro and have been there for 5 years. Over that time, I’ve worked both full-time and part-time, gaining hands-on experience with a wide range of animals and medical care. These days, I’ve shifted into a more flexible schedule so I can spend time with my baby, but animal care is still a huge part of my life and something I truly love doing. I’m also continuing my education to become an RVT and have a bachelor’s degree in Zoology. I absolutely love what I do, and honestly, I’ll probably be more excited to meet your pet than they are to meet me 😅 During the weekdays, I’m a stay-at-home mom, so my little one is with me. Because of that, I do require pets to be very friendly and comfortable around a baby. She’s gentle and used to animals she treats our two cats like royalty. Current availability: Drop-in visits Dog walks (best for dogs ~40 lbs or under) For larger dogs or house sitting, I’m available during evening/night hours (around 8 PM–4 AM). If your pet is a good fit, I would truly love to care for them and treat them like my own. I currently work as a relief veterinary technician, and since becoming a mom my schedule is more flexible, but my little sidekick comes with me 😊 (don’t worry, she’s friendly… just a tiny gremlin lol). Services I offer: Drop-in visits: All sizes welcome, as long as your dog is friendly House sitting: Available for friendly pets Dog walking: Small to medium dogs preferred; larger dogs are okay for walks during evening/night hours when my baby is asleep (for everyone’s safety) Boarding: Small dogs only (apartment rules), must be friendly with babies and cats My goal is to keep everyone safe, comfortable, and happy me, my baby, and your pet 🐾💛 I live in an apartment (not fenced), so for boarding in my home, I can only accept small dogs. Your pet must be very friendly and comfortable around a toddler and cats, as I have an 18-month-old and two cats at home. My cats are used to dogs as long as the dog is respectful, and my little one is gentle, but safety for everyone is my top priority. Because I’m a stay-at-home mom during the day, pets need to be especially friendly if I’m caring for them while my child is awake. For evening/overnight services (after 8 PM), I’m able to care for pets on my own, but I still require them to be friendly and safe to handle. Why you can trust me: I’ve been pursuing a career in animal care for years. I earned my bachelor’s degree in Zoology from Humboldt State University and also have my veterinary assistant certification. I’ve worked at CAMP LA in San Pedro for 5 years as a veterinary assistant and currently work as a relief technician on weekends while continuing my education to become a Registered Veterinary Technician (RVT). I’ve also volunteered with Marine Mammal Care Center and have two sweet male cats of my own. My goal is simple: To provide a safe, loving, and trustworthy environment where your pet is treated like family. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping them comfortable, I’ll make sure they feel cared for every step of the way 💛
“Staci was absolutely amazing with my 10 week old puppy, Poppy. She not only played with her and took care of her, she followed Poppy’s routine to a t and went above and beyond. She also sent so many pictures throughout the day which made me feel even more secure and happy to have someone like her with Poppy. I would absolutely without a doubt hire her again. Thank you so much Staci!!”
“She was so sweet & patient with my anxious dog. Updated me with pics throughout the day. Very gentle & I can tell she’s good with dogs. Thanks so much Linette! Will book again.”
About: Hi! Thank you for stopping by my profile. One of our favorite family hobbies is caring for pets. Every furry guest becomes part of our little family while they’re with us. 🐾❤️ I’d love to share a little about our home and why we truly enjoy taking care of pets. I grew up surrounded by cats and dogs, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. From Golden Retrievers to Dachshunds and German Shepherds—and of course cats—these wonderful companions have always been around me. After moving from Europe to the United States, I found myself missing the presence of furry friends. While living in Washington, DC, I started dog walking and cat sitting, and I continued caring for pets while living in Virginia. Now we’re in San Pedro, and I’m excited to keep providing loving and reliable care for pets in our community. We’re family living in a safe, gated community near Cabrillo Beach. My son is a wonderful little helper and is often the pets’ favorite because he gives them lots of attention, playtime, and love—and he’s always happy to share his bed for extra cuddles. He especially enjoys playing fetch with dogs at the dog park just a 3-minute walk from our home. 🐾 Your pet will enjoy plenty of play sessions, walks around our sunny neighborhood 🌴, as well as indoor and garden playtime. We also have a small yard where pets can relax during the day while I’m home. I provide multiple walks throughout the day, along with cuddles, brushing, and lots of attention to make sure every pet feels comfortable and cared for. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and well-being are always my top priorities. I love getting to know each pet’s personality and preferences so I can make their stay as enjoyable and stress-free as possible. 🐶🐱 I am very flexible. I am currently staying home with a flexible remote job. I can take care of your furry friend during weekdays and weekends with the same day notice. In both my home and my clients' homes, safety, trust, and a comfortable environment are my top priorities when caring for pets. In my home, I ensure all potential hazards are removed and prioritize the pet's well-being. At clients' homes, I establish trust with the pet, familiarize myself with their routine, and follow any specific instructions provided. Communication with pet owners is key, and I ensure adherence to dietary and medical requirements. Overall, my goal is to create a nurturing environment where pets feel safe and cared for, whether they're in my home or their own.
“THE BEST!!! Hands down!!! It feels like I’m leaving my little frenchie Max with family. Perla has made me feel so comfortable and Max absolutely loves her!!! She’s helped me with training too and has been so kind and flexible with my sometimes hectic schedule! She sends so many updates and the cutest pictures. 😍 Everytime I pick him up he is just so happy! She is my absolute go to and I cannot recommend highly enough!!!”
“She's wonderful Mochi seem to be very happy with her. And on a short notice she was available to care for Mochi. I'm very please and so is Mochi. We would definitely recommend her”
About: We send pictures with updates while you are away. We even offer face time visits! Your puppy is in the best hands in Los Angeles county! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine—whether it’s morning walks, mealtime cuddles, or evening play sessions. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, so caring for them never feels like a task—it’s something I look forward to every day. Whether in my home or a client’s, I make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable. I follow their routines closely—meals, walks, playtime, and any special care they need—while giving them plenty of attention and affection. I treat each pet like family, creating a calm and happy environment they can thrive in, even while their humans are away

I’ll always make sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, and love, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you know they’re having a great time. I’m currently a stay-at-home mom, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet care. I’m able to provide walks, check-ins, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I love having animals as part of my routine and enjoy making sure they get the attention, exercise, and care they need. I only offer pet care in the client’s home, as I have a cat of my own who prefers being the only furry friend in the house. In your home, I’ll make sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for by providing lots of love, feeding, walks, playtime, and attention. I’ll also help keep things tidy along the way so your home is just as you left it.

About: I have been a sitter for years. It’s just something I love to do because I love animals :) Once I got a fur family of my own (Dog & Cat) I thought it would be fun to be a sitter and do something I love. I always go the extra mile and create content, if the client approves. I work as a music producer and have tons of time for my animal friends! They make my days better 🖤 I love meeting new people and caring for their animal family. It’s just something that brightens my days. I’m very caring and attentive. Always watching out for them to make sure they’re safe and happy. Knowing they’re properly cared for is my top priority.
“Kayla was great with my rambunctious Dalmatian! She ensured to tire her out each walk. I received several photos and a detailed description each time. She even asked before treating my pup to a pup cup, which I thought was very thoughtful. I would definitely use her in the future!”
“Robin was great with Pickle - who can be very shy and timid. Her patience was great and she was able to get her on her walk when she needed. I would recommend Robin and book her again in the future!”
About: Our pets are just an extension of our family. I grew up in a house with pets and farm animals. I was taught to treat these animals with love and respect and ensure that they had fresh water and food every day.and that they were cleaned-up after, exercised and that they were comfortable. Upon having pets of my own, I raised my kids and now, grandkids, that our pets are special and essential in our lives and need to be treated that way. I have owned strays and mixed breeds, and a lhasa apso to hybrid wolves. A few years back, I started carrying for friends pets in their homes when they traveled. This service brings them peace of mind and comfort when they are away, as they know their sweet pet is being cared for with the same level of care that they provide. And having their pet in their own environment is less stressful of the whole family. I ensure that a regular routine is maintained and that fresh food and water is always available. I walk and/or play with them to entertain and exercise your pet on a daily basis. I am happy to provide updates and pics while you are away. And I make sure that the poop is cleaned up, as well. I am recently retired and have lots of flexibility in my schedule so I am available to walk or provide over-night stays when needed. I care for your pet as you would care for them. I do my best to keep them safe and cared for in the environment they are used to, their own home.
“Traci was very loving with my dog and my dog wanted to leave with her when she was dropped off, so that says it all! Traci kept me in the loop, was very professional and most of all, obviously an animal lover. I would definitely hire Traci again!”
About: Hi! I’m Heather! I am a lifelong animal lover, reliable caregiver, and proud pet parent of two doggos and two kitties (one who is a brand new addition!) I’m gentle and calm and I treat every pet like my own. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your animals, so communication and compassion are always my top priorities. You’ll get photo/Video updates and lots of reassurance while you’re away. I’m experienced with shy pets, senior pets, and anxious pups who need a little extra patience and kindness, and I adjust to your pet's personality and routine. I’m dependable, compassionate and always respectful of your homeand I truly love spending time with animals and giving them comfort, playtime, and affection while you’re gone. I know separation anxiety works both ways, and I strive to keep my clients relaxed and confident in my care of your fur babies. I am comfortable with oral medication routines as well as pet CPR. I would love to see if I would be a good fit for your family's needs. I’m a part-time student and work flexible contract jobs, so I’m able to build my schedule around pet care. I keep my availability consistent and make sure I have plenty of time to give each pet the attention they deserve. Pet sitting fits really naturally into my routine, and I love having furry company throughout the day. When I’m caring for pets in your home, my priority is to keep their routine familiar, their space calm, and their day as stress-free as possible. I follow your instructions closely, meals, walks, litter box care, playtime, meds, and any special quirks or comfort rituals your pet prefers. I’m gentle, patient, and attentive to each pet’s personality, whether they want cuddles, playtime, quiet companionship, or space. I move at their pace so they feel safe and understood.

About: We both grew up with dogs. We currently have 1 cat which we have had for 10 years, a large dog, and a medium sized dogs. This collection of pets gives us a good amount of experience in caring for different types of pets as well as how they interact with each other. In addition to our own pets we have also cared for some of our friends pets overnight on many occasions and have shared houses with roommates who have also had dogs and cats. I have no prior professional experience caring for others pets, do I m a behavioral psychologist who has worked with neurodivergent children for many years and can apply these concepts to pet care. One of us works from home 5 days a week and the other works from home 2 days a week. With the exception of some meetings, can be flexible to provide care at most times of the day. In our experience, that dogs and cats crave more than anything else is safety, trust, and an understanding of the ways they attempt to communicate with you. Our pets are capable of being on their own when needed, but when we are around they never leave our sides even for a moment. They are obedience as trained through positive reinforcement and socialization through meaningful experiences. They look to us for guidance, but we also like to challenge them to think for themselves to solve problems such as getting a to out of reach or navigating to us when the path is not visibly clear. I give this level of attention and support to every pet I meet and know how to build a relationship of trust and respect quickly and effectively. Even pets belonging to former roommates tend to follow me more than their owners after enough time.
About: Hi! I’m Candace, a lifelong animal lover and devoted pet parent. I’ve cared for dogs of all shapes, sizes, and personalities from energetic puppies to senior rescues. With a lifetime of experience in pet-sitting, house-sitting, and loving dogs like my own, I truly get animals on a deep level. My own pup of 8 years (a sweet rescue!) has taught me so much about compassion, patience, and the magic of building trust. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are my top priorities. I am a full-time pet caregiver with open availability, allowing me to give your pet the attention and consistency they deserve. I have years of experience caring for animals and have been around pets my entire life. I offer walks, drop-in visits, in-home care, and boarding. I’m attentive to each pet’s unique personality and needs—whether that means active outings, structured routines, or gentle companionship. After recently losing my own dog, I deeply understand the bond we share with our pets and treat every animal in my care like family. I want your pet to feel safe, loved, and completely at ease while you’re away. I’m happy to care for your pet in your home so they can stay in their familiar environment and routine. I’m very respectful of your space and make sure everything is kept clean and peaceful. If your pet stays with me, they’ll be in a cozy, calm, pet-friendly home where they’ll get lots of love, attention, and a comfortable place to rest. I really tune into each animal’s personality and needs, whether they’re playful, sensitive, or just want a calm presence. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know your pet is happy and safe.
About: Owners will love the care I provide because I'm very loving and respectful of needs/wants. I'm very caring for animals as they need our help as much as possible. I love all kinds of animals. My care experience is based on learning from watching, reading online, or learning on my own experience how to proceed in careful matters. I've learned very risky situations on my dogs that I had in the past that I was not comfortable with but I managed to take risks. So I can say I'm a bit of a risk taker as well, But a safe only if you want me to do. Nothing is done without concerning the owner. These are a bit of what I can do for my dog and try with any other pet. I can bathe, clip nails, comb hair, and come up with tricks with treats granted. Availability comes great with me because I'm home with my fur baby of my own. I'm home throughout the day/night unless I'm doing homework, photography, or at the gym to better myself; Which I love too. This is great as well if you're looking to better your pet well being. So being available is my most accurate thing about me and it works for any working hours of dog owners. My special skills are loving, playing with dogs, and keeping them happy always while spoiling them with my love or treats. haha. I also love to take photoshoots with my fur baby as I'm trying to own my business one day. I love teaching tricks, spending time walking with them, or just hanging out. I'm here for dogs. Dog lover is my passion. If I could own many dogs I would. I'm those extra helping hands. I am here for you! I can take them to play, walk, feed them, and potty/poop. I also can be there for your fur baby on weekends if you like to go out somewhere and have no worries. I'm here for you. I make sure your fur baby is happy, worry-free, and calm and stays to your commands/rules. I give love and accept lovable kisses and messes. I also have a fur baby of my own, so I know what it takes. I can do any service that you want and try my best to succeed with focus and helping needs until you return to your favorite companion.
About: Hello! I am 28 years old and I’ve had cats and dogs my entire life, and caring for animals has always felt second nature to me. I’ve personally trained every dog I’ve owned, including my two 4 year old male German Shepherds Taurus and Aries, my 7 year old male tabby cat Vander and my 3 year old female calico Kiki so I’m very comfortable with large breeds, strong personalities, and high energy pups and cats. I believe animals respond best to calm, steady energy and consistency. I’m patient, attentive, and naturally in tune with their needs whether that’s playtime, structure, reassurance, or just quiet companionship. Your fur baby won’t just be “watched” in my care they’ll be understood, respected, and treated like family. Being a nursing student has strengthened my patience, attentiveness, and sense of responsibility all qualities that naturally carry over into how I care for animals. I’m already deeply committed to my own two dogs’ routines and my two cats, so caring for pets is built into my daily rhythm. I’m very mindful about only taking on bookings I can give quality time and energy to. Your fur baby’s comfort and consistency always come first. I have my two 4 year old German Shepherds, and my two cats. I’ve created a balanced environment that blends structure with affection. The dogs have consistent exercise, training, and clear boundaries, while the cats have peaceful areas where they can lounge comfortably. It’s important to me that animals feel safe and understood, not just supervised. Our home is calm, clean, and filled with love and I carry that same energy into caring for other pets. Because I have two dogs and two cats of my own, I’ve chosen not to offer in-home boarding. I want to prioritize my pets’ comfort and stability, and I truly believe animals thrive best when their environment feels secure and consistent. Instead, I focus on caring for fur babies in their own homes. This allows your fur baby to stay in their familiar space and routine while receiving my full, undivided attention. I’m able to step into your home calmly and respectfully, maintaining the structure and comfort your fur baby is used to.

“Armando is the absolute best! He watched our 8 month old puppy with pretty short notice and made everything so easy and non-stressful! He not only took amazing care of our pup, Luna, but sent frequent updates and beautiful pictures of her adventures with his pup too! Luna had such an amazing time, I honestly think she is bummed to be home! This was our first time having someone watch Luna while we went on a trip and we were so beyond lucky to have Armando be the one to take care of her! So grateful, and will highly recommend Armando to anyone!”
“Qing was amazing to our pup, she sent video and photo updates the whole stay to assure us our pet was well taken cared of. Highly recommend and we will use her again!”
“Chris is amazing! He is super chill and amazing with dogs. My dog Fenchy had a really good time for 4 days. Chris updated me with pictures and I can tell that my doggy had her own little holiday with Chris. She loved him! I can only recommend Chris - thank you so much for taking such a great care over my baby 🥰”
“I needed a last minute sitter for my pet and Laura was so kind and considerate to take my dog in. She is very sweet and you can tell she takes the time to spend with your fur babies. Sends updated pictures also and responds quickly!”
“Always the most reliable and trustworthy person watching our boy Hercules. He’s always the happiest with her and we are always at peace knowing he’s staying with Maria! You wont be disappointed!”
“Koji had the best time! He can be pretty energetic, but Katie handled him so well and gave him so much love. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in good hands. So grateful and we’ll definitely be back!”
“This was our first overnight stay we booked for Bruce through Rover. He has never really been away from us since we brought him home at just 5 weeks old, and now at a year and 3 months old, we were understandably a little nervous. We felt using Rover would be a much better option than boarding him at a pet hotel, and it ended up being one of the best decisions we could have made. We found Mollie on Rover and reached out to her. She responded so quickly that we were able to schedule a meet-and-greet the very next day. She took the time to get to know both us and Bruce, talked with us about his routine and personality, and even introduced him to her family. From that first meeting, we knew we had found someone special. During Bruce’s stay, Mollie kept us updated with messages and plenty of pictures. Seeing how happy, comfortable, and loved he was made it so much easier to enjoy our trip. Throughout the day, she shared the activities they were doing with Bruce, and it truly felt like he was part of the family. Honestly, I think he may have had even more fun at Mollie’s house than he does at home! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Mollie went above and beyond in caring for Bruce, and it gave us complete peace of mind knowing he was in such loving hands. We will absolutely be booking with Mollie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat their dog like family.”
“Ziya did a great job with my hyper dog was able to make her comfortable enough to calm down which I know can take some time she kept me informed on and sent me pictures which I appreciate. thank you Ziya for taking care of leia for me.”
“What can I say about Elaine and her K9 skills? That she's awesome? Check. Reliable? Check. Treats my Golden Lady like a queen whenever moms away? Double check. In all seriousness, last spring I found myself in urgent need of a last minute sitter. Unfortunately every Rover sitter that I contacted was unavailable, I was just about to give up when one of the unavailable sitters suggested that I contact Elaine. I did and bam! No hesitation whatsoever on taking a last minute booking/gladly take care of my Lady. Thank you for everything Elaine!”
“Murphy had so much fun staying over with Alex and Fred! We could tell she was very comfortable with Alex and that she’d be in great hands right after our meet and greet.

“Lissa is a great Petsitter! She is a kind, person who genuinely cares about your pets well-being. My dog has stayed with her 3 times so far and has been shown nothing short of love and attention.

“I cannot express enough how truly wonderful Ashley was with our fur baby. She was genuinely concerned and gave him the very best of care and attention - even making him a home-made bandage for a cut on his tail and taking him on mile-long walks. Our Charley was best buddies with her fur baby, Gus. She continuously checked-in and sent pics while we were away. We were totally at ease the entire time which was priceless. Thank you so much Ashley and family. I would give you 100 stars if I could.”
“Qi was so nice to let us do a quick meet up before I had my dog stay with her! We got to see the house and my dog got to meet her and get used to everything which was so helpful. Qi provided lots of pictures and was easy to get in touch with if needed!”
“Brian is a conscientious sitter and was really good with Bucky. He sent pics and videos of of my puppy at the end of each day, and we appreciated the constant communication. We definitely recommend Brian as your pet sitter.”
