“Natalia was very attentive and sent frequent updates. It was nice to know we’d get updates and not have to worry about the dog while we’re out of town. Def recommend!”
“Kimberley is the best!! She kept my kitty in a smaller space so that she can acclimate better to the new location and would slowly expose my kitty to other pets if there’s any. Kimberley is very responsible and communicative. Will definitely book with her again!!”
“Jen was wonderful with our pup - we got updates throughout the day each day we were gone and we can tell she was cared for very well. We will definitely rebook with her in the future!”
“Lucero took wonderful care of my dog and gave her so much love and attention while I was away. They played together, went on multiple park outings, and Lucero even brushed her and spoiled her with treats. It was clear my pup felt happy, safe, and cared for the entire time. Lucero is incredibly kind, thoughtful, and trustworthy — your dog will absolutely be in the best hands with her!”
“Thank you Rosario and Ryan for another wonderful stay🥰 It was Bisco’s first overnight stay with them, and she sometimes doesn’t eat because she can get a little nervous/anxious at a stranger’s house, but she ate her meal with them just fine. Thank you for providing a clean, warm, comfortable, and safe space for Bisco🙏🏻 Will book again and highly recommend for other fur parents!”
“I can't say enough great things about Ellie! She cared for a recent rescue when I had to go out of town for a few days. She made my girl feel right at home and sent regular pics and videos which made me feel confident about her care from start to finish. When she found a couple of fleas on my put during her stay, she was so calm and helpful working with me from afar to take care of it. When my flight was delayed coming home, she even agreed to care for my pup until I could get back to town. Will definitely rebook with Ellie again!”
“Teddy and Truffle love staying with Scott and Chris and aren’t particularly eager to come home at the end of their stay. That is their stellar review and I concur!”
“Martin is the best sitter we’ve found from Rover! We have a reactive dog and we’re very selective with who we leave our dog with—Martin exceeded all expectations! He is very communicative and flexible. He sends lots of updates and photos. Our dog immediately loved and trusted him from the very beginning and we can’t wait to book with Martin again!”
“Elizabeth was very warm and caring for our dog Max. We got feedback and updates from her regularly with pictures. We really appreciate her taking care of our dog for 2 weeks.”
“My pup and I were in Los Angeles from out of state and I needed a place to leave Pepper overnight so my friends nd I could go to a restaurant for dinner and a museum the next day. I can’t say enough positive things about Pepper’s stay with Jaime and Todd. They were absolutely terrific. Their home is perfectly set up for a pup’s stay, including a doggie door to their lovely enclosed backyard. Jaimie and Todd are delightful, kind, warm, welcoming and they clearly love taking care of dogs. I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again!”
“Angela did an outstanding job while taking care of our dog for a week. I was kept updated on a daily basis about Ralphie’s behavior and any concerns or questions. Angela sent me many photos of Ralphie at home and from walks. She gave him a bath before we picked him up. Angela accommodated and was very clear about the drop off and pickup instructions. No fuss. Although, this was my first time that we had Angela taking care of Ralphie, I was completely relieved. Ralphie was very happy and was probably disappointed having to leave Angela and her paw-friendly home. Angela will be my go-to pet-sitter in the future and we greatly appreciate her. Thank you Angela for your amazing care!”
“Brittany is the best! My pup Nala is a sweetheart but deals with a lot of reactivity issues and it’s hard to find someone with enough experience, patience, trust, and love to watch her while I’m out of town. Brittany was more than willing and able to work with her and give her a chance. Brittany was AMAZING with her. I didn’t worry once about Nala while I was out of the country. She walked her multiple times per day, played with her, made sure she was always safe, and gave her so much love. She already has crates for large dogs at her home, which made everything so much easier. She gave me lots of updates, pictures, and videos every single day. She followed all of the instructions I left and took her job very seriously. Nala loved her so much and I could tell she felt right at home. Thank you so much Brittany!”
“One of the most pleasant people to meet. Charlie can be picky with his rovers. I haven’t had a problem getting him out of the car when bringing him to Katia. 10/10 recommend.”
“Brittany was great, she was so flexible with our drop off and pick up times and kept us updated through the day via text. Lola had a great time playing with her dogs as well. Highly recommend!”
“Shelby was an excellent dog sitter! She was very responsive and sent daily photos and updates. My dog was clearly well cared for and happy throughout her entire stay. Highly recommend!”
“Madeleine is the best. She was very responsive and helped me out with a last-minute request. Seamus had the time of his life with her — dog parks, walks, cuddles and quality attention. She also sent wonderful text updates and photos. I'm very grateful to have found her for Seamus!”
“I’ve had such a great experience with Ryan! He is incredibly dependable and reliable, which gives me so much peace of mind when I’m away. He’s also super flexible and always willing to help out, even when I book on short notice. What really stands out is how accommodating he is—he genuinely pays attention to my dog’s needs and goes above and beyond to make sure she’s comfortable and happy. It’s clear he truly cares, and that means everything to me. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and attentive to care for their pet!”
“Audrey was a wonderful sitter for my little chihuahua mix. She reliably sent me updates about how he was adjusting to the new situation — he’s a really anxious and territorial dog — and seemed really adept at handling even a dog as difficult as mine. She was also available for a sudden appointment including a meet and greet within one day of contacting her.”
“So so great!! Arim and her husband were so sweet and communicative. My elderly, slightly blind and socially awkward chihuahua absolutely loved being with them. They were perfect with his medications and refrigerated fresh food and sent so many great updates, pictures and videos! He seriously looked like he had a blast!! Will be boarding with them again for sure 🐾🐾”
“Salud was FANTASTIC with my senior dog. I know my dog really enjoyed having access to a yard and I received regular pictures which put my mind at ease. I will definitely be rebooking in the future!”

“Christian took amazing care of my cat DMX and my frogs over the long weekend, and I couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter. He was always on time, very attentive, and made sure everyone was comfortable, fed, and well cared for. It was obvious that he genuinely cared about my pets and paid close attention to their routines and needs. DMX absolutely loved him, which is not something I say lightly, and it gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was away. He also kept me updated and was very dependable throughout the entire stay. I came home to happy, relaxed pets and everything in perfect shape. I would absolutely trust Christian again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and caring pet sitter. Definitely a 5-star experience!”
“Melissa was great! She followed instructions to the T, was very patient and understanding with our babies, and so communicative. Will definitely book again and recommend her for drop in services.”
“Tania did a wonderful job with my cat Izzy. She knew Izzy was a nervous cat so immediately contacted me that my smoke alarm was beeping and even tried to fix it! Overall, she was a super helpful and was great and communicating all updates throughout the week.”
About: While I’m new to Rover and building my profile, I’m not new to caring for animals. I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life and have experience with pets of different ages, personalities, and needs. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision, so I make communication a priority and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. Growing up, I also helped at a shelter with my mom, which gave me early experience working with animals of different temperaments and needs. I truly love animals and enjoy making them feel safe, happy, and comfortable. I’m very active and love spending time outdoors, especially hiking. I used to take my last dog, Loulou, on adventures with me, and I would love to have a furry companion to explore nature with. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or just keeping them company, I treat every pet like my own. I’m excited to earn the trust of both pets and their owners by providing reliable, loving care every time. I’m also flexible with location and can help with pick-up and drop-off if that makes things easier. Pet care fits easily into my routine since I currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule. I’m consistently available on Wednesdays, Fridays, and often on weekends, and I can plan my days around the needs of the pets I’m caring for. On the days I’m available, I make sure to dedicate quality time to each pet whether that’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just giving them attention and companionship. I enjoy being active, so incorporating walks or outdoor time into my day feels very natural to me. I’m also attentive to each pet’s routine and will adjust my schedule to match their usual habits as closely as possible, helping them feel comfortable and secure. When caring for pets, I always focus on keeping them comfortable, safe, and as close to their normal routine as possible. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any specific preferences or habits the pet has. In my home, I create a calm and clean environment where pets can relax and feel at ease. I make sure they have plenty of attention, playtime, and regular walks, along with a safe space to rest. I’m attentive to their behavior and mood to ensure they’re happy and not stressed.
About: Hi! I’d love to be your cat’s next sitter. I grew up in Westwood taking care of neighbors’ pets my whole life, and cats have always been my thing, I have my own cat, and I’ve fostered both kittens and older cats. So whether your cat is a chill lap cat or the kind who takes a week to trust a stranger, I’ve got the patience for it. I kept sitting for cats while I was away at San Francisco State, and I’m back in Westwood now and know the area well. I’ll send photo updates every visit, stick to your cat’s routine (feeding, litter, medication if needed), and give them the attention they’re used to, not just a quick in-and-out. Looking forward to meeting your cat! 🐾
“Elizabeth was the best! She genuinely cared for our kitties, playing and treating them as if her own. Our very shy and usual scaredy cat immediately felt comfortable and looked forward to her visits. We couldn’t recommend Elizabeth more and look forward to working with her in the future.”
About: As a cat mom myself and a volunteer at a no-kill cat shelter for 3 years, I know how unique and complex cats are compared to other animals. I genuinely love spending time with cats, whether that's playing with their favorite toys, giving them attention on their own terms, or simply keeping them company and making them feel safe and comfortable. I have also had experience house sitting with cats in the past, so I understand the various responsibilities that come with cat/house sitting. I am a very caring, attentive, and patient person who pays close attention to each cat's needs. I also have experience with nail trimming, and I'm comfortable handling "dirty work" like cleaning litter boxes. I believe communication is extremely important, so I always make sure to keep owners updated, and I'm never afraid to reach out with questions, updates, or anything that helps ensure their cat is happy and well cared for. I treat every cat as if they were my own, with lots of love and responsibility.
“Aolani is the best! This was our second time booking with her and she took such great care of our two kitties again. She also brought in our packages and sent lots of pictures!”
“If I could give a 10 Star review for Sai, I would. We had never used a sitter for our 15 year old cat and we are so glad we chose Sai. He is kind, compassionate, thoughtful and very patient. He came to our house and bonded with our cat and made us feel at ease while we were away. He sent photos and updates daily and most importantly, Esme loved him. Whenever we go away, I won't hesitate to book Sai.”
About: I have lived with cats for the last 10 years, with a wide range of kittens and older cats. Friends and family have relied on me to take care of their cats, providing special feeding, play time, medication, litter cleaning and grooming. I have also walked leash trained cats as well and one cat who was even off leash after building the trust.
About: Hi! I’m Natalie, a UCLA Psychology student who genuinely loves animals. I’ve cared for dogs for family, friends, and neighbors over the years and understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pet. I’m dependable, patient, and attentive to each pet’s unique personality and routine. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply sticking to their normal schedule, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I enjoy staying active, so walks and outdoor play are always something I look forward to, and I’ll send plenty of photo updates so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands. As a UCLA student, I balance classes and work while making pet care a priority in my schedule. I’m committed to being reliable, communicating promptly, and providing quality care. My availability varies throughout the week, but I always do my best to accommodate each family’s needs whenever possible. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special instructions so they feel secure while you’re away. I’ll respect your home as if it were my own. I will keep you updated with photos and messages, and make sure your pet receives lots of love, attention, exercise.
“Olga did a great job with my cat while on a last minute booking I needed. She gave me thorough updates and sent to many pictures of my boy while I was gone. He’s a shy cat but he seemed to warm up to her right away. So recommend!”
About: I’ve grown up my entire life with Dogs ranging in size from Chihuahua to black lab, including puppies to senior dogs. If I could have a dog of my own, I would, but given my strict pet policy, I will gladly take the alternative, which is watching someone else’s. I work fully remote, so pet sitting fits my schedule pretty easily. I do ask for advance notice, but I am an extremely active individual and love all animals. I treat pets that I sit as if they were my own. I love giving affection to animals and going on walks and spending as much time as I can showing them as much love as they show us
About: I grew up with multiple dogs and cats in the house. My neighbors and friends rely on me to take care of their furry friends when they are out of town or at work. I am active and good with puppies, and I have experience giving oral medications to both dogs and cats. I am working part time and I am a part time student with a pretty flexible schedule. I am most weekends and weekdays. I work Wednesday and Thursday mornings, but am free after 2 on those days. I live in a single story apartment with a small fenced in yard. I love to walk and run, so I am very open to taking your pup out for an excursion.

“Jenna is AMAZING! We immediately felt comfortable leaving our little girl with her and she did not disappoint. Jenna truly loves dogs and will treat yours just like her own. She sends many photo updates and communication throughout the day so we always know how our pup is doing. Regina (our dog) now looks forward to her days with Jenna and Meadow (Jenna’s dog). We look forward to using her services for the forseeable future!”
“We were very satisfied with Keevon’s work taking care of our baby Happy. Our pup was very excited going to his daycare where he could hangout with his doggie friend Q-Pid. Keevon kept us updated with photos and text messages of Happy’s stay. We definitely recommend Keevon’s service.”
About: Growing up surrounded by dogs has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. From an early age, I learned how to care for them—feeding, walking, playing, and making sure they felt safe and loved. Each dog I’ve had has taught me patience, responsibility, and the joy that comes with building a bond of trust. Because of this lifelong experience, I understand the importance of attention, consistency, and affection when it comes to caring for a dog. I genuinely love spending time with them, whether it’s for a walk, a game of fetch, or simply sitting together and giving them the comfort they need. My background makes me a dependable and loving caregiver, and I would treat your dog as if they were my own. Your dog’s happiness, safety, and well-being would always be my top priority. My partner and I work from home during the week and take about four long walks throughout my day. Both of us being home allows us to give the dogs attention and make sure that they are having fun When pet sitting I use the commands and rules that the dog is familiar with and make sure that the dog is comfortable with me before taking them on a walk.
“Natalia was amazing! She was very communicative and provided so many pictures and updates throughout the day. Our little Hank had such a great time! I could not recommend Natalia enough and will be using her again!”
About: Hi, I am Angelic! I have been a dog walker for 10 years and my life goal is to meet as many doggies and kitties as humanly possible! I have a senior pup here in LA and I love getting to experience LA through their eyes as a new Angeleno. I promise I will treat your baby like my own🤭 So excited to meet you 🩵 I currently work from home so I have a bunch of flexibility to take care of your pet! It changes up my routine and I love having dogs in my life 🤎 I am a very loving and gentle caretaker. I am always very cautious of their needs and restrictions. I also like to keep in close contact with pet parents to keep them informed!
About: I greatly enjoy my work in the company of dogs, and making their day better. I have experience with dogs big and small, and have experience with meds and diapers. I'm a dog sitter and walker of 5 years. I make sure to provide treats, grooming, play time and to make feedings varied, fresh and new. I really enjoy spending time with dogs as a dog sitter and walker. I make sure that pets are feeling happy and will make sure to step around them, if they do not like visitors that much. I'm pretty good at reading a pet's vibe.
“Allison was a great sitter! She is quality at its finest and highest. So communicative and clear, so understanding and accommodating. Scarlet was so sleepy and in great spirits when i picked her up. From the photos it is so evident how relaxed and calm the environment is. I recommend Allison’s services to the moon and beyond— look no further and send that message. Can’t wait to book again. Thank you with all of me!!”
“Jazmin was a lifesaver by taking a last minute reservation for my dog Molly. She was responsive and communicative with drop off and pick up and it seems like Molly had a good time”
About: Hi! I’m a mental health therapist who works remotely and lives in an apartment Sawtelle. I love dogs and there isn’t anything I wouldn’t do for them. My goal is to meet the needs of your dog and to make him/her as happy as possible. I can take dogs to the dog park because I have a car and clean driving record, or I can just take them on walks or stop by to play! I am always highly aware of my surroundings when walking a dog, and my number one priority is keeping him or her safe. Taking care of dogs is something that brings me immense joy and I am more than happy to help you take care of your dog (or pet)! I am not one to party or hangout in large groups, so you can be assured that you and your pet will be safe and in a calm environment. I’ve been walking a black lab mix almost daily for about 3 years for an elderly neighbor. I have taken care of puppies, senior dogs, and everything in between! I currently work from home as a full time mental health therapist, so I’m home basically all the time. The longest I work with no breaks is 4 hours, so while I’d still be in the room with your pet, that’s the longest I wouldn’t be able to take them out for. I love to go on walks/runs and be outside, so your pet would still get plenty of outside time. I live in a modern, dog friendly apartment. My top priorities are making sure your dog is safe and feels comfortable and relaxed. I meet these goals by being very attentive to your dog’s well being, needs, and moods. I live with two roommates who are both women and PHD students at UCLA. They both keep to themselves and love animals. One has a cat, but she keeps him in her room. I have the master bedroom, which is very spacious - that’s where your pet would be for their stay.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over four years and love every minute of it! Whether it’s training playful puppies, looking after senior dogs, or just giving them lots of love and attention, I always make sure they feel happy and comfortable. Pet care fits perfectly into my flexible schedule! I have availability on both weekdays and weekends, so I can give your pets the attention and care they need whenever you need me. In my cozy apartment, I create a safe and pet-friendly space alongside my small Yorkie. I always make sure pets feel comfortable, supervised, and in a clean environment—whether they’re staying with me or I’m caring for them in your home!
“Yupee has a very calming sense about her which made me feel very much at ease to leave my dog under her care. Her own doggies are incredibly sweet and friendly. I really appreciated the updates and photo. I will for certain use her again.”
“Larissa was so sweet and patient with Wynnie! She took Wynnie out several times, sent photos and kept us informed on all her activities while we were out. It was so helpful that we were able to pick up Wynnie later in the evening. We will definitely be in touch with Larissa for future needs!”
About: Pet care, ensuring well-being, happiness, and health. Skilled in walking, feeding, and providing love to furry friends. Trustworthy and passionate animal enthusiast for any dogs. Regular walks, feeding, and playtime ensure pets' happiness while balancing my commitments effectively. As I am working part time, I have more flexibility to fit pets' need. When caring for pets in my client's home, I prioritize their comfort and routine. I follow feeding schedules, ensure fresh water, and engage in playtime. For overnight stays, I provide a secure and cozy environment. In my own home, I create a pet-friendly space with regular walks, play, and attention.
“Abby is so easy to work with and very patient and caring with our anxious little guy. He warmed quickly to her affectionate and fun side as he was 'beyond' excited to see her the next week. She has shown to be very reliable and a great communicator with humans as well as dogs :) We feel blessed to have found such a caring, knowledgable, and dependable dog caregiver!!”
“Alejandro was awesome with my pup! Super friendly, communicative, and took great care of her while I was away. She came back happy and relaxed, which says it all. Definitely recommend him!””
“Talia was so great! We were able to book last minute with her and she was incredibly communicative during Oliver’s stay. Talia sent a lot of pictures and was really nice to keep me updated on how Oliver was doing. I would definitely book again with her :)”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have always had a passion for caring for animals. I currently have a mini goldendoodle who is turning 3 years old and is truly my best friend. Through caring for my own dog and helping friends and family with theirs as well as fostering along the way, I’ve gained hands, on experience with feeding, walking, playtime, basic grooming, administering routines, basic needs, and providing lots of attention and affection. I understand that every dog has a unique personality and needs, so I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. :) Whether your dog enjoys long walks, active play, or simply relaxing with company, I’ll provide dependable care and regular updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. I work from home which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide plenty of attention and care throughout the day. Because I’m home, I can stick to your pet’s routine, whether that’s long walks, feeding times, play sessions, potty breaks, or just keeping them company. I understand how important consistency is for pets, and I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. Since I work from home every day, I’ll be home the entire time your dog is in my care, allowing me to provide constant supervision, attention, and companionship. I understand how important it is to know your pet is being cared for, and I’ll make sure they always feel safe and comfortable. I have a small backyard with turf where dogs can go outside for potty breaks, fresh air, or simply to relax and enjoy being outdoors. My home is very dog-friendly since I have my own little guy, who is almost 3 years old. He’s friendly, well-socialized, and loves playing with other dogs. Pets are welcome throughout the home and will be treated like family, with plenty of space to relax, play, and feel at home. I’ll also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
About: My name is Yoly. When I was 15 years old, we had the opportunity to have 4 lovely dogs at home at different times. It was there that I realized how God loves us by giving us as a gift these beautiful creatures, so faithful, so forgiving. With them, God teaches us that it is good to forgive loved ones who treat us badly but that we have to forgive them; and they are like that. They have God's forgiving spirit and His endless faithfulness embedded in their hearts; that makes me love them and take care of them with all my heart. That is my experience with them and it will also be the experience of anyone who entrusts them to me. And if that is the case, I will be more than happy to take care of their loved one and best friend with much love. Just for a little more information, I was walking dogs as a volunteer at “Best Friends Same Them All” a few years ago (before the pandemic). They are an organization in West Los Angeles that works with animal rescue groups, shelters, and volunteers. I have also taken care of my friend Ceci’s 2 little dogs on several occasions; the last time I took care of them was for 3 weeks. I have also taken care of my friend Velvet's kittens. The last time as well, I took care of them for almost two weeks due to a trip. Both of them have been very happy with my work. I work from home making tamales for my home based food business called Yolis' Hot Tamales! I used to be a street vendor but as I'm getting older I'm trying to find new ways to pay my bills. I am able to take pets out for bathroom breaks regularly and keep up with scheduled feeding. The place where I live is a very safe and clean place for pets. I make sure to spend time with them. I also make sure that they do not exceed their feeding times, as well as taking them for walks so that they do not suffer from any digestive discomfort. I love that they sit by my side when it's time for us to relax in the living room. That is our time to create a deep bond between human and creature.
“Lili took exceptional care of Piper and went above and beyond to keep us updated throughout the day, which gave us great peace of mind. She’s incredibly reliable, attentive, and clearly wonderful with dogs. We wouldn’t hesitate to book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter!”

About: I care for every pet like they’re my own family member, not just a job on my calendar. When your pet is with me, they’re getting affection, and lots of attention to the little details that make them feel safe and at home, the same I give to my own pup (Q-pid). What sets me apart from other sitters is how intentional I am about routines and communication. I take the time to learn your pet’s normal behavior, quirks, and preferences so I can spot if something seems “off.” I follow your instructions closely (feeding schedule, walk times, meds, crate routines, training cues, etc.) so your pet’s day feels as familiar and stress-free as possible. You’ll also get regular photo updates and honest check-ins, so you never have to wonder how things are going. Whether your pet is a high-energy goofball, a shy introvert, or a wise old soul, my goal is always the same: to make them feel safe, loved, and understood while you’re away and to give you total peace of mind in the process. I'm currently a student with 1.5 - 3 hours of class per day. Taking care of my pet and your pet fits naturally into my daily routine. I ensure my daily routine allows me to actually be present with my pup and the animals I’m caring for, not just squeeze them in between other commitments. On weekends, my schedule is even more flexible, so I can accommodate longer walks, park trips (if you’re comfortable with that), and extended stays. Overall, I treat your pet’s care like a priority, not an afterthought. I plan my day around their needs so they get reliable, loving attention and you get peace of mind while you’re away. Safety and trust are my top priorities. And I treat your pet the same way I treat my own pup: with patience, respect, and a lot of care for the details that keep them happy and secure. I have a friendly resident pup, so I do slow, supervised introductions to make sure everyone feels safe. I watch body language closely and will always prioritize a calm, positive first meeting. If anyone seems overwhelmed, I separate, redirect, and give them space instead of forcing interaction. I keep a pet-safe environment: - Leashes are always used outside or in unsecured areas. - Doors and gates are checked and closed so no one can slip out. - Food, trash, and anything unsafe (chocolate, meds, etc.) stay well out of reach. - No access to toxic foods or plants - Trash secured and small objects kept out of reach - Doors and windows checked and locked before playtime Feeding is always supervised, and I never free-feed multiple dogs together. I separate pets during meals and high-value treats to avoid any resource guarding or tension. I follow your instructions on crate use, furniture rules, feeding routines, and treats. If your dog prefers their own crate or bed, I’ll make sure they have a quiet spot to relax and decompress away from extra stimulation. There’s always time built in for bathroom breaks, exercise, play, and just as importantly—rest. In your home: When I’m caring for your pet in your space, I follow your house rules and routines. I stick to the schedule you give me for walks, meals, meds, and playtime, so your pet’s day feels familiar and predictable. I double-check doors and gates, keep leashes and harnesses secured, and always monitor them closely on walks—no risky off-leash time unless you’ve specifically requested it and it’s in a safe area. Communication & peace of mind: You’ll get regular photo updates and honest notes about how your pet is doing—eating well, bathroom habits, energy level, anything I notice—so you can relax knowing they’re not just “okay,” they’re truly cared for. Whether in my home or yours, my goal is simple: a safe, calm, and loving environment where your pet can relax, have fun, and feel like they’re with family.

“Hi Carolina, Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of Ulises! He was in great hands, and the walks helped him burn off so much energy, which definitely made life easier for us. We’d be happy to have you walk him again anytime! Uli also sends a big thank you. We really appreciated how responsible you were and how you kept us updated throughout the day—it gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was doing well. We’re so grateful we could count on you these past few days. You were such a huge help, and we truly appreciate everything you did for Ulises. Thank you again! ❤️”
About: Growing up surrounded by dogs has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. From an early age, I learned how to care for them—feeding, walking, playing, and making sure they felt safe and loved. Each dog I’ve had has taught me patience, responsibility, and the joy that comes with building a bond of trust. Because of this lifelong experience, I understand the importance of attention, consistency, and affection when it comes to caring for a dog. I genuinely love spending time with them, whether it’s for a walk, a game of fetch, or simply sitting together and giving them the comfort they need. My background makes me a dependable and loving caregiver, and I would treat your dog as if they were my own. Your dog’s happiness, safety, and well-being would always be my top priority. My partner and I work from home during the week and take about four long walks throughout my day. Both of us being home allows us to give the dogs attention and make sure that they are having fun When pet sitting I use the commands and rules that the dog is familiar with and make sure that the dog is comfortable with me before taking them on a walk.
About: I have had pets all of my life and they truly bring me so much joy. I have had dogs as pets all of my life and I understand their needs and how to give them lots of love! I have experience with puppies, small dogs, big dogs, and elder doggies. I wasn’t allowed to have cats due to my dad’s allergies, but I volunteered at CARMA cat shelter for over a year to love on kitties in need of homes, and to learn how to understand cat caretaking. I love training my parent’s dog and teaching him fun tricks (rolling over, play dead, stand up). I’ve been trusted enough to take care of my friend’s cats and dogs when they are on vacation, it brings me so much joy to be trusted with and love on good doggies and kitties. I am a college student, so now that school is out of session for me, I am only working a part-time job. Outside of that job, I have plenty of time and nights to walk/stay the nights with your pets. I own a car so I have reliable means to travel to your homes, and I will always communicate quickly about how my schedule will fit into your pet’s needs. I will always follow any directions about how to care for your pet and your home. I will leave your home cleaner than it was before and try my best to make it seem as if I was not there. I want you to feel like your home is completely safe while you are away so all anxieties are eased. I will send you cute photos of your pet and always give you updates when needed!
About: Growing up with dogs, cats, bunnies, birds, and hamsters taught me that every animal has their own love language. Right now, I'm mom to five fur babies, so I'm used to chaos, cuddles, and everything in between. Your baby won't just be watched; they'll be loved. Working part time in the morning so, I have all afternoon to watch your fur friends. I also have weekends for any overnight sitting needed. I can follow any instructions needed for your fur babies so, no need to worry on the routines or habits that need to be followed!
About: I have many years of experience caring for animals, growing up on a farm in rural Minnesota. I have volunteered at animal shelters, and have experience with various breeds. Familiar with toileting and feeding schedules, medication administration, and basic grooming. I want your pet to feel loved and cared for while you’re away! I am a current masters student only working part-time for the time being, looking to fill my schedule with positive pet encounters! I have plenty of free time for the rest of the summer and want to support pet parents in any way possible. I keep an open line of communication to make sure your concerns are addressed and your preferences are accounted for. Safety and comfort is a top priority, making sure your pet not only gets play time but that walks and other adventures are done with all dangers considered.
“My pup absolutely loved her! She was so gracious when I asked for a last minute booking. Followed instructions well and is so kind and friendly. Will definitely book again! <3”
“Sai was so great at taking care of my sweet, old dog! He fed her and gave her water and treats as I asked, and gave her tons of attention and great walks! Also, he took a ton of photos and provided great detail on each walk! I would absolutely recommend Sai.”
About: I grew up taking care of pets! My childhood dog Olivier was an unusual mix; he was an eye-catching, mutant-sized Dachshund who got a lot of attention walking down the street, and we had a couple of independent-minded kitties. My family still has multiple dogs and cats. I absolutely adore dogs and feel strongly about tuning in to who they are - if they want to play, it's on! If it's a shy guy or gal, I respect their space if and until they feel more comfortable. I facilitate healing workshops and I'm an artist with a variable schedule that I keep up-to-date on my Rover calendar. I'm currently living in a building that doesn't allow dogs and I love cats but am super allergic. So daily pet care for me is making friends with and greeting my doggy neighbors. When I've had pets or boarded them previously with Rover, I always make sure to find out the basics of their personality from you, their favorite human. They deserve the same consideration we give people! Currently only offering walks, not boarding.
About: I’ve been taking care of my brothers’s dogs for years. As a former early childhood teacher, I have a lot of energy and patience. I don’t exaggerate when I say animals gravitate towards me! I recently left my teaching job and have a lot of availability. I’m spending time at home working on my writing, tutoring business and jiu jitsu. I’m very communicative with the pet owner and like to follow a plan. I understand that every dog has their own needs and I tailor my services for each pet.

“Jen was wonderful with our pup - we got updates throughout the day each day we were gone and we can tell she was cared for very well. We will definitely rebook with her in the future!”
“Lucero took wonderful care of my dog and gave her so much love and attention while I was away. They played together, went on multiple park outings, and Lucero even brushed her and spoiled her with treats. It was clear my pup felt happy, safe, and cared for the entire time. Lucero is incredibly kind, thoughtful, and trustworthy — your dog will absolutely be in the best hands with her!”
“Martin is the best sitter we’ve found from Rover! We have a reactive dog and we’re very selective with who we leave our dog with—Martin exceeded all expectations! He is very communicative and flexible. He sends lots of updates and photos. Our dog immediately loved and trusted him from the very beginning and we can’t wait to book with Martin again!”
“Elizabeth was very warm and caring for our dog Max. We got feedback and updates from her regularly with pictures. We really appreciate her taking care of our dog for 2 weeks.”
“My pup and I were in Los Angeles from out of state and I needed a place to leave Pepper overnight so my friends nd I could go to a restaurant for dinner and a museum the next day. I can’t say enough positive things about Pepper’s stay with Jaime and Todd. They were absolutely terrific. Their home is perfectly set up for a pup’s stay, including a doggie door to their lovely enclosed backyard. Jaimie and Todd are delightful, kind, warm, welcoming and they clearly love taking care of dogs. I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again!”
“Angela did an outstanding job while taking care of our dog for a week. I was kept updated on a daily basis about Ralphie’s behavior and any concerns or questions. Angela sent me many photos of Ralphie at home and from walks. She gave him a bath before we picked him up. Angela accommodated and was very clear about the drop off and pickup instructions. No fuss. Although, this was my first time that we had Angela taking care of Ralphie, I was completely relieved. Ralphie was very happy and was probably disappointed having to leave Angela and her paw-friendly home. Angela will be my go-to pet-sitter in the future and we greatly appreciate her. Thank you Angela for your amazing care!”
“Brittany is the best! My pup Nala is a sweetheart but deals with a lot of reactivity issues and it’s hard to find someone with enough experience, patience, trust, and love to watch her while I’m out of town. Brittany was more than willing and able to work with her and give her a chance. Brittany was AMAZING with her. I didn’t worry once about Nala while I was out of the country. She walked her multiple times per day, played with her, made sure she was always safe, and gave her so much love. She already has crates for large dogs at her home, which made everything so much easier. She gave me lots of updates, pictures, and videos every single day. She followed all of the instructions I left and took her job very seriously. Nala loved her so much and I could tell she felt right at home. Thank you so much Brittany!”
“One of the most pleasant people to meet. Charlie can be picky with his rovers. I haven’t had a problem getting him out of the car when bringing him to Katia. 10/10 recommend.”
“Madeleine is the best. She was very responsive and helped me out with a last-minute request. Seamus had the time of his life with her — dog parks, walks, cuddles and quality attention. She also sent wonderful text updates and photos. I'm very grateful to have found her for Seamus!”
“I’ve had such a great experience with Ryan! He is incredibly dependable and reliable, which gives me so much peace of mind when I’m away. He’s also super flexible and always willing to help out, even when I book on short notice. What really stands out is how accommodating he is—he genuinely pays attention to my dog’s needs and goes above and beyond to make sure she’s comfortable and happy. It’s clear he truly cares, and that means everything to me. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and attentive to care for their pet!”
“Hailey took wonderful care of our 6-month-old puppy, Piper, while we were away for a week. She sent lots of updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind, and was always quick to respond whenever we had questions. It was clear that Piper was having a great time and getting plenty of attention and care. We came home to a happy puppy, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We’d absolutely book with Hailey again for boarding or any other service. Highly recommend!”
“Travis did an outstanding job looking after our pup during a 7 day trip. He took significant time to do a meet and greet prior to her stay and answered all of our questions and took time to thoughtfully understand her routine and behaviors. While we were away, Travis consistently gave daily updates with notes on her activities, behavior and a few photos. We truly felt assured our dog was in good hands and she was having a great time, allowing us to enjoy our time away. We are already planning our pup's next stay with Travis, he's the perfect host.”
“We're so glad we found Estefania; she did a great job looking after our dog whilst we were away. Within a few mins of submitting the request, Estefania replied and agreed to look after Tes with just 2 days notice before our trip. Additionally, Estefania was flexible to meet up in advance so that Tes would be familiar when she came to stay the next day. We received a daily update and from the outset felt safe knowing that Tes was in good hands. As Estefania has her own dog, it also gave us peace of mind that Tes would be well cared for. Estefania will definitely be our go to for future dog sitting needs. Highly recommend!”
“John was amazing as a dog sitter! Kaya loved all the hikes and adventures. You can tell he loves dogs and is very experienced with working with them. Will definitely book again!”
“Jamie was great! Pup was very nervous going into a new space, but by the end of the weekend was playing and settling in. Got great pictures and videos during her stay that put me at ease the first time boarding her. Jamie will definitely be a top choice when needing to board in the future.”
“Tyler was a fantastic sitter for my dog Rus! He was extremely caring, and Rus warmed up to him fast. He was easy to communicate with the entire time and sent lots of updates. I would highly recommend Tyler!”
“Rebecca was so responsive and flexible with our last minute booking! Her apartment complex has a fenced grass area which was a nice plus for our dog. We will definitely be booking Rebecca again!”
About: I genuinely love spending time with dogs, and I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member. As a dog owner myself, I know every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you're away. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I'm happy to provide personalized care that matches what they're used to at home. I believe consistency, patience, and positive interactions help dogs feel secure and happy. I'm attentive to the little details, from making sure they get plenty of exercise and fresh water to sending regular photo updates so you can relax knowing your dog is having a great time. My goal is for every dog to feel like they're with a trusted friend, not just a sitter. Pet care is currently my full-time focus, which means I have a very flexible schedule and can dedicate my time and attention to the pets in my care. I recently moved back to Los Angeles, and I'm excited to spend this chapter doing something I truly enjoy, caring for dogs and helping give pet owners peace of mind. Because this is my primary commitment, I'm available for walks, drop-in visits, daycare, and overnight stays, including weekdays, weekends, and many holidays. I have the flexibility to stick to your dog's usual routine, whether that means early morning walks, midday potty breaks, evening playtime, or extra cuddle time. I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where pets can feel relaxed and at home. I live in a townhouse with a securely fenced yard, giving dogs a safe outdoor space to play, explore, and enjoy fresh air under my supervision. I know every pet is different, so I always tailor my care to their individual needs and your preferences. Whether your dog is energetic and loves long walks and playtime or prefers a quieter routine with lots of affection, I'm happy to accommodate their usual schedule. I'll follow your instructions for feeding, exercise, medications (if needed), crate routines, and any special care to help your pet feel comfortable and maintain consistency.
“Samuel is the best! This is the second time he has taken care of our dog and she was so excited to see him. We feel so comfortable leaving her while we’re away and enjoy updates and photos every day. Thank you Samuel!”
