“What an amazing soul Nadège has! She truly is an expert at what she does and loves being around furry friends. My dog was extremely comfortable being in her home with a beautiful backyard. There were plenty of dog toys and places for my dog to rest. My dog was very happy there with zero anxiety. I have already booked my second stay with Nadège and will continue to in the future.”
“Amorn and Adam were absolutely wonderful with my little Murphy. Just before my trip I found out she needed special care and they went above and beyond to make sure all her care instructions were followed. I also received lots of pics and constant updates during her stay, which was very nice and help put me at ease leaving her with a sitter. This was our first time using their services but will probably use again when needed. I recommend them for anyone who wants their pet to have all the care and attention. Also very good with communication, always very prompt in their replies. Highly recommend”
“Renata was a god send when I unexpectedly needed to find someone to take care of my little Penechka during the holiday season. Upon our little intro meet and greet, it was clear she maintained a warm and beautiful home, full of love, and other furry friends for my doggo to be able to spend time with. I felt very comfortable leaving Penny with her for the week I was going to be gone and she gave me regular updates showing how much fun and affection she was getting during her time with Renata and her family. She was also wonderfully flexible with my plans including a last minute one day extension of my trip and shifting pick up times upon my return. I appreciated her taking such thoughtful care of my girl so much and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to take genuine and loving care of their fur baby. Thank you, Renata!!”
“Sean has watched our dog, Ziggy, multiple times now. Sean is a great guy. He's personable, patient, he sent us pictures and updates while we were out of town. He obviously loves dogs and has the patience to watch our pooch, since she's diabetic and blind, she takes a lot of extra care. Thank you, Sean, we'll be back with Ziggy sooner or later!”
“Marcelo and Elaine always take good care of our pup! He loves to play ball, and they’re happy to engage with him. They keep us updated on his status and respond to messages quickly. We highly recommend them!”
“Ashton and Jay were fantastic with Scout! They were loving and attentive with him, and I could tell from the photos they sent that he was having an excellent time. We won't hesitate to have our guy hang out with his new friends the next time we need a sitter!”
“Hershey had a wonderful time staying with Nayira and her family! We were updated daily with her well being and all the pics showed all smiles. Would reach out again for future sitting needs as I am happy with the care, communication, and enrichment our Hershey received during our time away.”
“They did an amazing job watching over my Pomeranian. Very responsive and sent plenty of pics and video updates. Highly recommend to anyone looking for reliable sitters!”
“We’ve used James a few times and he’s always great to work with! He sends daily updates, responds quickly and is easygoing. We’re happy to have someone we can trust to watch our dog. We recommend him and will continue to use his services so long as he’s willing.”
“Arizona had a wonderful stay with Kate and Aaron. She settled in quickly and felt comfortable from the very first day. They kept me updated with photos and messages, which made the whole experience easy and stress-free. Really liked those pictures from the back yard playtime. I would definitely book with them again. Arizona loved her time there, and I felt confident leaving her in their spacious home.”
“Our dogs stayed with Annabelle & Ben for one night as a trial before our longer, upcoming trip. Everything went really smoothly and we appreciated their communication with frequent updates and pictures on how they were doing.”
“Rachel and Preston were amazing dog sitters! They texted me daily updates, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. During the stay, my one-year-old dog and their dog became best friends, and it was clear my dog was having the best time and receiving lots of love and attention. I feel so lucky to have found the best care for my dog, and I will definitely use their services again!”
“We love Karin! She is always so good with our anxious boy Gimlet the Pom and he always has a fabulous time with his friend Seamus and others. Highly recommend!!!”
“Stephen is always quick to respond to sitting requests and makes booking and scheduling very easy. This was my dog’s second stay and she always comes back refreshed and happy. We get regular pictures and videos for updates on her experience. I highly recommend.”
“Lizet was wonderful with bear. She gives you updates and photos/ videos on your pet which it really appreciative of. She treats your pets like they were her own. Bear felt comfortable with lizet and you can tell she enjoyed her stay with lizet. Bear found her forever sitter and new friends 😁💙”
“We just left our four year old pitbull with Lenny for three days and we couldn’t be happier! He sent so many wonderful pictures of our pup having fun, playing with the other dogs and relaxing in the big beautiful backyard and at home lazing on furniture. We will definitely be returning to Lenny many more times. It is just fantastic to know that we have someone we can trust, who is honest, responsible, loving, and at a reasonable and fair price. Thank you, Lenny!”
“Our dogs had such a great time here! Communication, photos, and videos were all great, and Peter has created such a great environment for dogs”
“Sarah took great care of my anxious pup while I was away on a trip. She took her on play dates and sent me pictures and videos to show Chloe having fun and doing her normal stuff. It was a great relief to me to know that Chloe wasn't acting withdrawn, this helped me focus on my trip activities and know that Chloe happy and in good hands. Sarah clearly cares about the animals she watches, examining their individual behaviors and traits. I will be using Sarah to take care of Chloe again!”
“Brenda gives daily updates and photos. She provided great communication and exercise for Kodi. Kodi got along great with her husky, Leeloo. I hated to separate him from his new friends. I will use her services again. I highly recommend Brenda.”

Extremely friendly and even left us a cat treat at the end of the drop ins. Would 1000% recommend Vanesa to anyone looking for care.”
“Bethany gave our cat exactly the kind of daily care and companionship she needed! On top of punctual visits with feeding, litter tidying, play time, and detailed reports after each visit, Bethany always responded to messages within minutes and offered to come over for an intro visit/key exchange before the scheduled visits. Couldn’t be happier!”

About: Hi I’m a full time pet sitter. I have been petsitting for the past 8years. I have a lot of time to take the doggies out for walks multiple times a day. I also interact with them, by playing or doing basic commands with them. They are always allowed hop on the couch and join me to cuddle while watching a movie. It’s a cage free environment, unless you are training your baby or prefer for your pup to be in a cage certain times. They will feel right at home, in a comfort place where they are allowed to roam around freely and cuddle up on the couch or the human bed at night. We also reward them with extra belly rubs and delicious treats! I am a full time pet sitter. During the day I do have multiple walks I go out to. My partner Maggie is also home full time to care for the pups while I’m away. Dogs in my home have to be friendly with humans and other dogs. I am only taking small- medium size dogs. Unless I’ve cared for a more relax friendly bigger dog that I know won’t need much space.
“Sarah is awesome and she took great care of my dog Jack while I was away at work. She was very accomodating and responsive and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for the best pet care. Thanks again!”

About: I have over 15 years of experience caring for dogs of all ages. I’m experienced with puppy training, including potty training, crate training, and basic routines. I also provide gentle and patient care for senior dogs, including medication support and extra attention when needed. I treat every pet like family and always create a safe, loving, and comfortable environment. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine because I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. I live in a large, safe home with a spacious backyard where dogs can play and feel comfortable. I also have a dedicated indoor area for sleeping, feeding, and relaxing, so your dog will always feel safe, loved, and well cared for. My goal is to give every dog the best possible experience while they are with me. Safety and trust are very important to me. I live in a safe home with a fully fenced backyard where dogs can play comfortably and securely. I also have a friendly 5-year-old toy companion dog who is very gentle and gets along well with other dogs. I always make sure pets are supervised, comfortable, well cared for, and treated like family, whether in my home or a client’s home.
About: Since I was a child, I cared for many animals and pets on my family's farm, and in the last 15 years in LA, I've had my own pets and all my neighbors and friends come to me for pet care while they are out of town! I work as a part-time plant science consultant, I am a mom of a 10-year old human and an 11-year old doggy, I have a flexible schedule and love to be active, so pet care fits in nicely! I have a secure and fenced in back yard and many comfortable spaces for dogs all around the house. Cats are not a good fit in our home, unfortunately.
“Michelle has such a welcoming personality. Her family made me feel at ease with leaving YoYo. I didn’t have any concerns. She sent pictures & videos throughout the day. YoYo had a great time. Also, she was very accommodating with my late pick up time. I’ll definitely use her services again. Super thanks 😊”
“When I picked my dog up on the first day he was very happy. He had a lot of fun there and enjoys going to see Karn whenever we go. I recommend Karn to anyone who needs there dog watched.”
About: I've owned and cared for dogs since childhood! I love small and large breeds and have experience with puppies and elderly dogs. All are loved in my home. Hey!

I also have a six year old who will happily spend time with your dog if they enjoy children!

Whether your dog is a puppy figuring things out or a senior who just wants a soft couch and some sunshine, they'll be comfortable here. We can also accommodate dogs that need a little extra space and a quiet setting. Just let us know what would be best!
“We are beyond grateful for everything Brenda has done for us. She has always been there for our requests, even the last-minute ones and never makes us feel like an inconvenience. Oakley absolutely loves his walks and outings with her, and it gives us so much peace of mind knowing he’s in such good hands. I haven’t been able to leave a review every single time we’ve booked her, but we keep coming back to Brenda for a reason. She’s reliable, caring, and truly amazing.”

Tell me all about your pet’s quirks, schedule, and favorites — I’m excited to meet your best friend and give them the same care they get at home! I am a stand up comedian and work a few hours at night. I am very flexible with a schedule during the day and week! If your dog doesn’t come home and personally tell you how good his day was, and what he learned in school, I’ll give a full refund. When I found out about this app I was truly amazed and excited at the opportunity to work with animals!!

“Vanesa has been absolutely wonderful with our yellow lab! She’s kind, attentive to his needs, and always makes sure he gets the care and attention he deserves. She’s consistently on time, communicates clearly, and always lets us know how each walk went. It’s such a relief knowing our dog is in great hands - we couldn’t recommend her more highly!”
“Bryanna has been great with our dog Buster and takes lots of pictures and even videos during her visits. She is good at communicating and responds to messages quickly. She's dependable and shows up when she says she will and we are really happy to have found her. She brings her dog to play with Buster and it's been a great arrangement for Buster to have a friend and more socialization. She was willing to just come herself to take Buster on his walk if they didn't get along. We hope Bryanna continues to be available to visit Buster.”
“Jessica is super-friendly, reliable, and always on-time!! She takes great care of our two pups, and you can clearly tell that she is an animal lover. I highly recommend her!”
About: Growing up in a house full of dogs, I guess I picked up a few tricks along the way. My friends joke that I’m the “dog whisperer,” but honestly, it’s more like I’m their unpaid therapist. Most dogs and I vibe right away, like we’ve got some unspoken connection. Even the cautious ones usually come around pretty quickly.. maybe it’s the good vibes..? Maybe it’s the good treats..? Either way, mi casa, their casa. 🏠🐶 Now that I’m pursuing music full time, my schedule is much more flexible! I work from home during the week and usually keep my weekends open, so I can be fully attentive and available for your pup whenever they need me. 🫡 I prioritize being present with your pets at all times to ensure their safety and provide them with a home-like sense of security, knowing they have a trusted friend by their side. 🐾 🤝
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for over 12 years and genuinely love being around animals. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets while away. I’m comfortable with puppies, senior dogs, high-energy pets, and shy animals. I always make sure pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable, and I’ll treat your pet like my own. I am new to the are and am currently have a full-time job and am looking to work more with animals in my free time. I’d love to help keep your pets active, happy, and healthy while also staying active myself through regular walks and pet care! I provide a safe, calm, and trustworthy environment for every pet I care for. I follow all instructions closely, supervise pets at all times, and prioritize their comfort and well-being.
About: I’ve always been the person friends and family trust to watch their pets because I genuinely love spending time with animals. I know how stressful it can be to leave your pet with someone else, so I do my best to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s a puppy with lots of energy, a senior pet who needs a slower pace and extra care, or a pet that’s a little shy at first, I’m patient and happy to adjust to their needs. I pay attention to the little things, follow routines closely, and love sending updates and photos so you know your pet is doing well. My goal is for your pet to feel like they’re hanging out with a friend, not just being watched I’m currently on summer break from my job as an elementary after-school teacher, so I have a more flexible schedule and extra time to dedicate to pet care. During the summer, I work a part-time job, which allows me to provide care before and after my shifts. I’m able to plan my schedule around pets’ needs and make sure they get the attention, care, and companionship they deserve. I’m also available on weekends for extra visits, overnight care, or just some extra love and attention if needed. 🐾❤️ When caring for pets in your home, I try to keep their routine as normal as possible so they feel comfortable while you’re away. I’ll make sure they’re fed on schedule, have fresh water, clean litter boxes, and get plenty of love and attention. I know every cat is different—some want constant cuddles and playtime, while others prefer their space—so I always let them set the pace. I’ll also send updates and photos so you can relax knowing your cat is happy and well cared for

About: Hello, My name is Sandy. I've had pets all my life, from aquatic pets to fur babies. I love animals and have three dogs of my own. All with their own personalities and I take care of all their needs, from food, hygiene, and physical health to make sure they are happy. I'm positive I can cater to your baby's specific needs as well. I'm patient with my dogs, as I understand every dog has their own personality and different needs. I'm loving, caring, and observative of their behaviors. I love dogs of all breeds would love to help fellow dog owners by providing my services. I currently live in Van Nuys area but I can take clients that live in Palmdale as well as I visit very often. I am currently a student at CSUN & I have an open availability. I am available weekdays and weekends anytime with little to no notice in advance. I live in an apartment with my German Shepard. I know how important it is to exercise your dog especially in a smaller space so we go on walks 3x a day. He is my spoiled baby. I fall in love with all dogs I take care of as if they were my own & like to take extra steps (cuddles, treats, walking, playing.. etc) to ensure they are comfortable while their parents are away.
About: Hi! I’ve grown up with dogs all my life, up to 5 dogs. I’ve never had an empty household. Dog hair is a part of my life lol. I’ll be make sure to give your pet plenty of scratchies & pets if they allow it! I love snuggles with pets and giving them my undivided attention :) I’m currently working part-time, I am an artist as well. I moved away from home without my pets, so I would love provide for pets! I have plenty of time to care for your pets. I currently am looking to move into an apartment, so at the moment I don’t have space to care for a pet overnight, but I can travel.
About: As dog owners ourselves, we believe in a simple principle: we won't do anything for your dog that we wouldn't do for our own. During the time they're with us, we treat them as if they were our own, with full attention and care. What makes our care different is that your dog gets the attention of two people, not one! Both my spouse and I work from home, so there's always someone around for companionship, playtime, and supervision throughout the day. We also know LA life can be unpredictable, so having two of us means we're able to stay flexible and work around your schedule whenever possible. As a clinical psychologist with a background in behavioral psychology, plus hands-on experience having personally adopted and trained a rescue dog, I understand dogs' needs on a deeper level, from anxiety and attachment to motivation and habit-building. Over the years caring for dogs across LA, we've worked with a wide range of breeds, sizes, and personalities, including dogs with picky eating, excessive barking, or high energy levels, and tailor our approach to each dog's individual needs. We always welcome a meet & greet before booking! There's a large, quiet park right by our home where we can chat through your dog's routine and make sure everyone feels comfortable. **First time clients please enjoy $20 off your first booking!** https://www.rover.com/sit/chanwl43421 Schedule Both my spouse and I work from home, so we're available for care any day of the week! Weekdays and weekends alike. This also gives us a lot of flexibility with pick-up and drop-off times, and we're happy to work around your schedule. Whether you need a quick daycare visit or long-term boarding, we'd love to help. Safety, trust & environment In our home, pets have plenty of space to relax and play, and with two of us around, dogs are never left unattended! You'll get regular check-ins and updates so you can feel confident your pup is in good hands. I follow your dog's routine closely and keep safety top of mind, whether it's leash rules on walks, feeding instructions, or respecting boundaries around other pets (We have three playpens! on hand, so we can easily section off space when needed). Our back patio is fully fenced, so dogs can enjoy off-leash time to run and play safely. We've made sure there's nothing sharp or hazardous back there, and we clean up after every potty break and hose down the area to keep it fresh and sanitary. Neighborhood dogs stop by for potty breaks too, so it's also a great spot for your pup to socialize. Being a typical Asian household, we don't wear shoes inside and that same care extends to keeping things clean for your pup! We vacuum 3-4 times a day, wash food and water bowls after every use, and wipe down paws with baby wipes (dog-wipes on request!) after walks.
About: I love playing with playful pups or chilling with lap dogs! I have a cat at home and I have been a sitter on Rover for 2 years. I am not experienced to potty train! If your pet is not potty trained or has a severe case of separation anxiety, I do recommend you look for another sitter :) This is my full time job! I do have a cat to take care of so I will leave to take care of her for a few hours or run errands. I will keep clients’ homes clean and locked when I’m not there. Let me know if any of your pets like to escape and I will be careful opening the door!
“Minerva is the most caring and loving dog walker! She takes her time walking Kobe and sends plenty of pictures and updates about his activities (pee, poo, etc.). She's very detailed, quick to respond, communicative, and incredibly friendly. You can tell she's an animal lover. Kobe has fallen in love with her in such a short time! Can't thank Minerva enough for everything she does for our Kobe!”
“Jaime was absolutely awesome with Boosh, our Pit/Lab baby girl. He was able to pick her up and down the stairs to our complex. We had dog family over for a week and Jamie was able to accommodate walking them on short notice. Boosh loved seeing him and would bring him her ball a few times; seriously jelly about that. ?”

I am content with just enjoying the present moment with your companion/s over a game of tug of war or a hike.

“Renata was a god send when I unexpectedly needed to find someone to take care of my little Penechka during the holiday season. Upon our little intro meet and greet, it was clear she maintained a warm and beautiful home, full of love, and other furry friends for my doggo to be able to spend time with. I felt very comfortable leaving Penny with her for the week I was going to be gone and she gave me regular updates showing how much fun and affection she was getting during her time with Renata and her family. She was also wonderfully flexible with my plans including a last minute one day extension of my trip and shifting pick up times upon my return. I appreciated her taking such thoughtful care of my girl so much and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to take genuine and loving care of their fur baby. Thank you, Renata!!”
“Ashton and Jay were fantastic with Scout! They were loving and attentive with him, and I could tell from the photos they sent that he was having an excellent time. We won't hesitate to have our guy hang out with his new friends the next time we need a sitter!”
“Hershey had a wonderful time staying with Nayira and her family! We were updated daily with her well being and all the pics showed all smiles. Would reach out again for future sitting needs as I am happy with the care, communication, and enrichment our Hershey received during our time away.”
“We’ve used James a few times and he’s always great to work with! He sends daily updates, responds quickly and is easygoing. We’re happy to have someone we can trust to watch our dog. We recommend him and will continue to use his services so long as he’s willing.”
“Our dogs stayed with Annabelle & Ben for one night as a trial before our longer, upcoming trip. Everything went really smoothly and we appreciated their communication with frequent updates and pictures on how they were doing.”
“Stephen is always quick to respond to sitting requests and makes booking and scheduling very easy. This was my dog’s second stay and she always comes back refreshed and happy. We get regular pictures and videos for updates on her experience. I highly recommend.”
“Lizet was wonderful with bear. She gives you updates and photos/ videos on your pet which it really appreciative of. She treats your pets like they were her own. Bear felt comfortable with lizet and you can tell she enjoyed her stay with lizet. Bear found her forever sitter and new friends 😁💙”
“We just left our four year old pitbull with Lenny for three days and we couldn’t be happier! He sent so many wonderful pictures of our pup having fun, playing with the other dogs and relaxing in the big beautiful backyard and at home lazing on furniture. We will definitely be returning to Lenny many more times. It is just fantastic to know that we have someone we can trust, who is honest, responsible, loving, and at a reasonable and fair price. Thank you, Lenny!”
“Our dogs had such a great time here! Communication, photos, and videos were all great, and Peter has created such a great environment for dogs”
“Sarah took great care of my anxious pup while I was away on a trip. She took her on play dates and sent me pictures and videos to show Chloe having fun and doing her normal stuff. It was a great relief to me to know that Chloe wasn't acting withdrawn, this helped me focus on my trip activities and know that Chloe happy and in good hands. Sarah clearly cares about the animals she watches, examining their individual behaviors and traits. I will be using Sarah to take care of Chloe again!”
“Brenda gives daily updates and photos. She provided great communication and exercise for Kodi. Kodi got along great with her husky, Leeloo. I hated to separate him from his new friends. I will use her services again. I highly recommend Brenda.”
“Nicole is amazing! This was my first time using Rover so I was a little nervous but Nicole eased all of my worries with her kind and professional nature. She sent lots of pictures and updates to let us know how our fur baby was doing throughout this stay with her. I will definitely be a repeat customer. Highly recommend.”
“Stacey took great care of Saja! Upon meeting Stacey, it was clear that she was nice, professional, and dedicated to providing the best experience possible for our little guy (which she did!). Great with communication and sent photos every morning. Will certainly book again!”
“I highly recommend Lesli! We had such a wonderful experience and would absolutely book with her again! From the very beginning, she was an excellent communicator—asking thoughtful, thorough questions to make sure she understood Bailey’s routine and preferences. While we were away, she sent frequent updates with photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear she genuinely cared and treated Bailey like one of her own. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and kindness made the entire experience stress-free. We came back to a happy, well-cared-for pet, and we couldn’t have asked for a better person. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, caring, and communicative!”
“I left Cocoa with Candy while I was out of town for the weekend. I now feel more free to take trips knowing that she can watch her. She even helped treat a developing hotspot that appeared at last minute and when I picked Cocoa up she was doing much better. ”
“Alina was so wonderful. Our regular dogsitter had to cancel on us last minute. Alina came to the rescue and watched our dog for a 4 night stay. We were nervous to leave our senior dog (who has some special needs) with a brand new person. Usually we book an initial one-night stay with a sitter before doing anything more than 24 hours. It turns out we had nothing to be worried about. Alina checked in with us regularly and had very accurate descriptions of how our dog Bedu was settling in. By the end of her stay Bedu was in love. We brought home a very happy pup who was so well looked after, I can happily say she also had a little vacation herself. Alina’s residence is right next door to Petco, which was very convenient for us as we had forgotten to pack some supplies and stopped there on the way.”
“A true savior! A true animal lover ❤️ We will for sure book again. Great pictures and updates. She made my hospital stay easier knowing that my baby Kloee was comfortable and safe. Thank u so much 💓”
