“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!”
“Could not be happier with my experience! They are extremely genuine and fun to work with. My two year old German Shepherd seemed very happy and healthy when we picked her up. Will definitely be reaching out again in the future.”
“Annabelle and Ben were outstanding! They communicated clearly throughout the process - meet and greet, drop off, and pick up. During boarding we got lots of photos and updates...sooooo many walks for our girl Mabel. Got along great with their dog and had a blast! They were all wonderful!”

“Based on her reviews, we contacted Karen A. to see if she could accomodate caring for our rescue guy, Cesar, a small Terrier mix, with only 24 hrs. notice. Thankfully Karen had room and accepted our reservation! We were completely new to this, but Karen then made it a very pleasant process, responding quickly to all my questions and requests. Coming over to her home to meet and drop Cesar off for his stay, Karen welcomed me in to see how he would interact with her dogs, which reassured me, since it was the first time we'd been separated from him since we adopted him 10 months ago. He spent 2 days with her and Finn and Seamus in a lovely home with a big, open backyard--just right for dog-romping! It was comforting to know he had fun and was well cared for. Thanks so much, Karen; hopefully we'll be in touch again in the future.”
“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.”
“Lenny Z is the best! He watched our 11 year old Corgi for 5 days and he took wonderful care of her! He was totally professional and very easy to communicate with. Also, his backyard is the perfect oasis for the dogs to hang out in and Scarlet clearly loved it there. Scarlet also has special needs with not being able to walk well and they were so attentive and made sure she could get around safely and enjoy her time there. Scarlet came back in great shape, and we would definitely book with Lenny again. Lenny also sends really good photos! They are some of the best photos we have of Scarlet:).”
“Thank you again for taking such great care of Louie while we were out of town. We loved the daily pictures and enjoyed seeing Louie walking and playing with the other dogs (he loves to play!!). We’ll be back for sure!”
“Just picked up our FRAPPE . Our boy is very shy and the fact that he was calm and relaxed says a lot about the energy he was around. And we loved that!! We’ll be definitely bringing FRAPPE BACK TO YOU GUYS. and thank you guys for being so mindful and taking our last minutes request 🙏🏼”
“Candy has been wonderful at taking care of my dog Arlo. From the meet and greet, he was already comfortable in her home and the friendly, safe environment she created. She gave me updates on how he was doing and sent photos as well. I felt secure knowing he was doing well and was in good hands. I would definitely book another stay with Candy again.”
“Peter was an incredible host. He sent us plenty of updates with videos and our dog had a great time playing with his Irish wolfhound. Highly recommend.”
“If I could leave more than 5 stars for Jolie, I would, she’s gives a genuine love to my babies while we are away. She made sure to give me an update everyday. And she’s very flexible. I can tell that my furry babies had a great time with her and I’m confident and rest assured that my babies are in good hands whenever we are away. She even gave a hug to both of my babies when we picked them up! Thanks Jolie!”

About: I have 7 cats of my own and have grown up around cats my entire life. I’ve cared for cats through every stage of life, from newborn kittens to senior cats.

I also have experience caring for pregnant cats and helping monitor their well-being. What sets me apart is that I truly understand cat behavior and know that every cat is different.

About: I’m Matt—a dependable, detail-oriented caregiver who takes pride in delivering high-level, professional pet care. Backed by 5 years of top-rated experience on Wag! and over 14 years of hands-on work with dogs and cats, I bring both proven reliability and real-world knowledge. I’ve cared for breeds including Beagles, German Shorthaired Pointers, Lab mixes, and Tabby cats. My approach is simple: consistent, attentive care you can trust—backed by results, not promises. Currently enrolled in a couple of classes. The courses are remote so your pups and cats have my undivided attention at your household. I only work in the petcaretaker industry. I would treat your home and pets as a guest would. I would ask you upfront what are the do's and don'ts. I respect your home and I am not into "partying" or "having fun". I am content with just enjoying the present moment with your companion/s over a game of tug of war or a hike.
“Katherine is such a kind soul and her service so very wonderful . Every day we looked forward to her updates and photos with our cat. You can really tell how much she loves animals and we really felt cared for. Not to mention, she was very helpful with other things like bringing a package in, litter box, and timing.”

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!

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.

About: Use my promo code for new customers on your first booking: MILENV78068. You can't miss it!🎾🧸🌈🌈 From a young age, animals have always been my passion. I grew up surrounded by dogs, cats, and all sorts of creatures, and I learned to love and care for them from a very young age. My home was always a haven for animals in need, and that experience taught me the importance of patience, dedication, and unconditional love. That passion led me to become a professional pet caregiver. For years, I've had the privilege of caring for countless animals, each with their own unique personality and needs. From playful puppies to senior pets requiring special care, I enjoy every moment I spend with them. My daughter is a veterinarian, so animals have always been part of our lives. Together, we've created a home full of love and respect for all creatures. She has taught me a lot about animal health and well-being, and that experience has been invaluable in my work as a caregiver. I take pride in offering a personalized and attentive pet care service. I understand that each animal is unique, and I strive to create a safe, comfortable, and happy environment for each one. Whether they need long walks, playtime in the park, or just a warm lap to snuggle in, I'm here to provide them with the love and attention they deserve. My approach is very home-like. Instead of a traditional kennel, I offer a family environment where your pet will feel right at home. I'm dedicated to providing them with affection, individualized attention, and all the care they need to feel safe and happy. My services are completely personalized, tailored to the specific needs of each pet. Therefore, my prices may be a bit higher, but I assure you that your furry friend will receive exceptional care and all the attention they deserve. If you're looking for a pet caregiver who will treat your furry friend like one of the family, don't hesitate to contact me. I'd be delighted to meet you and your pet!" I'm a pet caregiver who's dedicated to organizing my time to provide the best care. Contact me and schedule your appointment!! I will be very happy !! "As a pet caregiver, I make sure your furry friend feels right at home, whether it's at my place or theirs. I'll give them lots of love, play with them so they get exercise, and feed them on time. If they need any special care, like medication or anything similar, no problem! I make sure your pet is happy and healthy, so you can have peace of mind."
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'm Nicole — a North Hollywood homeowner with a big fenced yard, lots of outdoor space, and a maltipoo puppy named Arff who'll happily show your doggy around. I also have a six year old who will happily spend time with your dog if they enjoy children! I work from home and all dogs are genuinely part of the family here, meaning your dog sleeps inside, hangs out with us, and gets real attention — not crate time. I keep things small on purpose: I host up to two guest dogs at a time so I can give full attention to your pet. 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!
“Greatly appreciate Brenda, she cares for my Coco on the weekends. She works with my hours which is great since my job is a bit hectic during these days. Coco loves being with her and that is something I’m very grateful for. Will continue bringing her 🙂”
About: Hi, I’m Troy — your friendly North Hollywood pet sitter and dog walker!

I’m experienced with walks, playtime, feeding, crate training, and giving meds, and I’m very comfortable following detailed routines and special instructions. Safety is always my top priority, and I keep you in the loop with plenty of photos, videos, and updates so you can relax while you’re away. I work [from home/flexible hours], which means your pet gets lots of attention, potty breaks, and snuggles throughout the day. Whether your dog loves long walks, chill couch time, or trips to the park, I’ll match their energy and make sure they feel comfortable and loved. 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: 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: 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 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

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.

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: 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!
About: I’m Matt—a dependable, detail-oriented caregiver who takes pride in delivering high-level, professional pet care. Backed by 5 years of top-rated experience on Wag! and over 14 years of hands-on work with dogs and cats, I bring both proven reliability and real-world knowledge. I’ve cared for breeds including Beagles, German Shorthaired Pointers, Lab mixes, and Tabby cats. My approach is simple: consistent, attentive care you can trust—backed by results, not promises. Currently enrolled in a couple of classes. The courses are remote so your pups and cats have my undivided attention at your household. I only work in the petcaretaker industry. I would treat your home and pets as a guest would. I would ask you upfront what are the do's and don'ts. I respect your home and I am not into "partying" or "having fun". I am content with just enjoying the present moment with your companion/s over a game of tug of war or a hike.
About: As a lifelong dog lover with over 15 years of hands-on experience, I offer reliable and compassionate pet care tailored to each pet’s unique personality and needs. My services include dog walking, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, medication administration (if needed), and overnight stays. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can stay connected and reassured while you're away. I work during the day, but I'm available on weekdays after 3 PM and fully available on weekends. This schedule allows me to dedicate quality time to pet care in the afternoons and throughout the weekend, ensuring consistent attention, exercise, and affection for the pet. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and happy while you're away. I bring a mix of professionalism, dependability, and genuine affection for animals to every pet care visit.
“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. ?”

“My dog is doing a long stay starting next week with Renata and her family and couldn’t be happier that we found her. We did a little test run for a few hours today and Sugar did great!”
“Could not be happier with my experience! They are extremely genuine and fun to work with. My two year old German Shepherd seemed very happy and healthy when we picked her up. Will definitely be reaching out again in the future.”
“Annabelle and Ben were outstanding! They communicated clearly throughout the process - meet and greet, drop off, and pick up. During boarding we got lots of photos and updates...sooooo many walks for our girl Mabel. Got along great with their dog and had a blast! They were all wonderful!”
“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.”
“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 😁💙”
“Lenny Z is the best! He watched our 11 year old Corgi for 5 days and he took wonderful care of her! He was totally professional and very easy to communicate with. Also, his backyard is the perfect oasis for the dogs to hang out in and Scarlet clearly loved it there. Scarlet also has special needs with not being able to walk well and they were so attentive and made sure she could get around safely and enjoy her time there. Scarlet came back in great shape, and we would definitely book with Lenny again. Lenny also sends really good photos! They are some of the best photos we have of Scarlet:).”
“Thank you again for taking such great care of Louie while we were out of town. We loved the daily pictures and enjoyed seeing Louie walking and playing with the other dogs (he loves to play!!). We’ll be back for sure!”
“Just picked up our FRAPPE . Our boy is very shy and the fact that he was calm and relaxed says a lot about the energy he was around. And we loved that!! We’ll be definitely bringing FRAPPE BACK TO YOU GUYS. and thank you guys for being so mindful and taking our last minutes request 🙏🏼”
“Candy has been wonderful at taking care of my dog Arlo. From the meet and greet, he was already comfortable in her home and the friendly, safe environment she created. She gave me updates on how he was doing and sent photos as well. I felt secure knowing he was doing well and was in good hands. I would definitely book another stay with Candy again.”
“Peter was an incredible host. He sent us plenty of updates with videos and our dog had a great time playing with his Irish wolfhound. Highly recommend.”
“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.”
“Stacey was very helpful and welcoming to Tessa and made sure to communicate clearly, provide a safe and calm environment, and maintain her routine. Tessa will be back!”

“Highly recommended. Xol (Victoria) is the best! Ghosty felt so comfortable in the care of Xol. He had the best time being around Xol’s toddler. Xol was very good about sending daily updates. Will definitely book her 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!”
“She is AHHHHMAZING!!!! I met her and I could tell instantly she is so good with animals. She listened to our daily routine and mimicked it to keep my dog on her routine. She asked before giving treats and sent as many pics as I wanted! I felt so comfortable she had my dog. Will let my dog stay with her again and again!! My dog loved being there with all the attention! ??❤️”
“Tasha was amazing! She was so sweet to my pup and showed him so much love he didn't want to leave. She kept me updated daily with pics. I'm so glad I found her and her fam! I recommend her 100% she was amazing!”
“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.”
“First time having Karn babysit my babies and was pleased. I have a German shepherd/Chow that just rather be with me so to be able to leave her somewhere and see her play was the thing that got me. Great space for dogs to run around and responds well.”
