“Tatiana was absolutely amazing from the very beginning! At our meet and greet, I could instantly tell she was kind, attentive, and genuinely passionate about caring for animals. Throughout Beaux’s stay, she went above and beyond to ensure he felt safe, loved, and engaged. She gave Beaux extra care and attention, really taking the time to understand and respond to his puppy needs. Tatiana kept me updated with frequent messages, photos, and videos which gave me peace of mind and letting me enjoy my time away without worry. What impressed me the most was that she didn’t just care for him, she also helped train him! Beaux came home with new commands under his belt and was noticeably more confident and well-behaved. I’m so grateful we found Tatiana. Beaux absolutely adored her, and we’ll definitely be booking with her again! 🐾 Highly recommended!”
“Artem was incredible! Our other Rover sitter fell through at the last minute, and he willingly took in our pup that same day, so we could catch our flight on time! He was very responsive, and it was clear that he kept a safe and structured environment for the dogs. I would highly recommend him and will definitely call on him the next time we need our dog boarded. Thank you again, Artem!”
“Ivette was vey welcoming and kind to my little Charly. She had no issues tending to Charly meal routine aswell as his exercise needs. Charly was very happy when picking him up, which is always a very good sign that he had a good stay. Thank you and would 10/10 recommend to everyone”
“Joshua and Jennifer were absolutely amazing. I felt so comfortable leaving my two pug babies with them for the weekend knowing they were in such good hands. They had so much fun and were even spoiled with Halloween doggy treats, even came home with little goodies! Jennifer was wonderful with communicating with me the whole time as well which was huge for me. Thanks you guys! Will be taking them here again :)”
“Armando is amazing! 🤩 He took on not one but TWO young, high energy dogs. He provides beautiful pictures, and our dogs are alway having the best time in them. We can’t thank him enough!”
“Chris was absolutely wonderful! He took exceptional care of Kai, going above and beyond to ensure he was comfortable and happy. His professionalism and attention to detail were evident from the start, and I truly appreciated the frequent updates and numerous photos he provided. It gave me so much peace of mind while traveling, knowing Kai was in such great hands. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will definitely be booking Chris again!”
“Murphy had so much fun staying over with Alex and Fred! We could tell she was very comfortable with Alex and that she’d be in great hands right after our meet and greet. Fred also has a great temperament and was such a sweet buddy for Murph! Alex was communicative, flexible, and very trustworthy. We’re looking forward to having Murphy stay with them again!”
“Perla is truly a great doggie sitter. My puppy was very happy with his stay there she bathed him and took him for walks. He loved her dog and played so much at her house. I enjoyed all of the pictures and updates that Perla sent me throughout the day. It made me feel at ease knowing my little jax was in good hands. Will definitely use her again.”
About: A Little About Me 🐾 Ever since I was young, I’ve had a strong connection with animals, especially dogs. They have always been a constant part of my life, helping me develop a deep understanding of their behavior, communication, and social interactions. I am attentive, experienced, and always focused on maintaining a safe and positive environment for every dog in my care. I closely monitor all interactions and am proactive in addressing any unsafe behavior, whether playful or otherwise. My home features a secure property with tall fencing around the entire perimeter 🏡. The space is divided into separate areas to accommodate different playgroups, from small dogs to extra-large breeds, with plenty of shade and room to relax and play. Behavior Assessment 📋 For first-time guests, I typically require a behavior assessment before their stay. However, I understand that emergencies and last-minute situations happen, and I can be flexible when needed. If your dog has not completed an assessment beforehand, I will conduct one at drop-off. Introductions are done gradually and carefully, starting with my dog, Maya 🐕, before meeting the rest of the pack. If your dog is not comfortable in a group setting, they can be accommodated separately with their own indoor room and outdoor space. Before Your Dog’s Stay Please let me know: • Does your dog have any allergies? • Is your dog up to date on all vaccinations? • Is your dog currently taking any medications? Additionally, please share anything else that may help me provide the best care possible, including: • Resource guarding tendencies • Escape or fence-jumping behaviors • Eating non-food items or foreign objects • Previous incidents involving dogs or people • Anxiety, fears, or special handling needs Please also let me know about any special dietary requirements. If your dog eats wet food or requires refrigerated items, I have a full-size refrigerator available for storage. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and enjoyable experience for every dog in my care. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out—I am always happy to help! This is my full-time calling 🐾. I am available on weekdays, weekends, and holidays. There are occasional moments where I may need to step out for errands or appointments, but my family is always there to help with the dogs' care. Thank you for understanding 🙏. Pick-Up & Drop-Off 🚗 Our pick-up and drop-off times are flexible. We can accommodate as late as 11pm and as early as 5am if needed, including drop-offs the night before if you have an early departure — all at no extra cost 🙌. We also accommodate longer-term stays. The longest we've had a dog with us was around 8 months. No matter the length of the stay, we send regular updates — whether it's a text, photos, or videos — so you're always in the know. We offer a hybrid style of play — both free play and structured play 🐾. Negative behavior is calmly corrected, ensuring a safe and positive environment for all. Dogs sleep inside in a fully air-conditioned space ❄️, provided with beds and blankets, Dogs comfortable with pack life are welcome to free roam in a home-like environment 🏡, while higher energy dogs are separated as needed to ensure proper rest and health for all, fresh water is provided at all times. Safety is a top priority 🔒. Our property is fully enclosed with a 6ft fence & there is always someone present— keeping everyone happy and safe!
“Arriyanna is absolutely amazing. We did a meet n greet first and discussed about our dog's needs who is about to turn 14 and can be anxious in new places. Arriyanna kept me in the loopsent pictures. I picked our dog happy and healthy. I am extremely thankful and would love to take Moe back to her for future needs.”
“Our little Emma had a fantastic time at her very first sleepover with someone new. Maria took great care of her and updated us with pictures and videos throughout the day and even the next morning when she was still fast asleep. She has only stayed at her grandma's once overnight and stayed up all night crying and waiting for us to come back to get her. At Maria's she had so much fun with Boss and the other friends that were over that she completely knocked out the whole night and didn't wait up. We will be having sleep over again when we need it for sure!”
“We recently had the pleasure of leaving our beloved Ziggy with Laura for a week, and we couldn't be happier! As first-timers in leaving our pup with someone new, we were admittedly nervous, but Laura quickly put all our worries to rest. From our very first meeting, she exuded warmth and a genuine love for dogs, assuring us that Ziggy would be treated like her own. True to her word, Laura provided daily updates and adorable pictures that showed Ziggy having the time of his life! It was comforting to see him so happy and well-cared for. We would definitely book Laura again when needed and highly recommend her to anyone, especially those who are apprehensive about leaving their furry friend with a sitter for the first time. Thank you, Laura, for being so amazing with Ziggy!”
“Excellent! I have an older dog, very hard of hearing and doesn't see well. He also can't hold his bladder for more than four hours, and can sometimes get confused. Jenny was so good with him! Not everyone can take on the added responsibilities of an elderly pet, including cleaning up after accidents. I am so grateful for her understanding and patience.”
“Pax has a wonderful time at Sylvia’s this was his first time staying over more than one night. Sylvia and family are patient and lovely. While he was happy to see us he definitely had a great time. 😊”
“It’s my very first time looking for a pet sitter because I’m always so anxious about leaving my dogs with people that I don’t know but I can’t thank Stephanie enough for taking care of my puppies! It was a great experience, my dogs had fun, played with other dogs and she was so accommodating to their needs and also to my last minute changes! I was getting daily updates and pictures too! I was comfortable because she has so many years of experience and a lot of good reviews! I can fully recommend her and I would definitely be happy to bring my dogs again! Thank you so much!!!”
“Best sitters ever!! We’re moving to Michigan in a month and I’m going to be so sad because I know my dogs will will Elaine sooooooo much. They’ve never been happier. They are the best sitters in SoCal. Hands down.”

“On time and professional for our meet and greet. Eggnog immediately was himself with her, and she handled it well. I’m a helicopter pet parent and I’m confident I have found the right sitter for my Eggnog.”
About: I worked as a vet tech for 6 years and dog grooming for 4 years. Ive had dogs my whole life. I can't wait to meet your family member! I love walking and what's better than walking? Walking with a loving friend of the family. I will drop everything for a dog in need. I always make sure to keep open communication with the owners and other family members. Also I love sending little photos or videos of us :)
“Vanessa O is our cats' varorite sitter. We have hsed her several times, and trust her completely. In addition to the usual cat duties (food, water, meds, litter, etc) she takes the time to play with them, and they look forward to her visits.”
“Britney was wonderful with my cat, definitely recommend! While away for 2 weeks, she was excellent with communication, sent pictures regularly and just a really nice person that I knew I could fully trust and count on. I came home to my cat happy and healthy. I'll always book with her if she's available!”
About: No, I had already been working with cats at my job. I never had a pet. About two years ago I decided to adopt my first cat at the harbor shelter. That was an entire different experience than taking care of a dog. They’re mostly on their own, but they definitely love love and cuddles. Then a year later I was blessed with the second cat that my mom found on the street. This cat was a neonate kitten. I have never taken care of such a small kitten before, even in my own profession, the biggest cats that we see, or at least two months. This kid and was a couple of days old I managed to bottlefeed him and woke up at every meow, took him to work with me, and he survived and grow to be a phenomenal cat.
“Absolutely the best cat sitter who has watched our cat numerous times! From the very first day, Ivy was professional, incredibly organized, caring and communicative. We received wonderful daily updates and pictures that showed our cat was completely relaxed and happy. It gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Our home was left completely clean and tidy, and our fur baby was perfectly cared for. We will absolutely be booking Ivy again and highly recommend her services to any pet parent!”
“We always love booking Donny as our cat sitter. Our cats love hanging out with him, even our shy ones. He always makes the effort to get our outdoor cat inside where it’s safe at nighttime!”
About: I’ve had pets since I was 8 years old. The longest I’ve had a cat was almost 20 years named Kip. He past due to diabetes. I was able to care for his medical condition at 17 1/2 years old and he was able to live 2 more years with continuous medication and care. I currently have 3 cats. One tabby named Remey who has separation anxiety from me (due to the passing of his brother Kip and his cousin BK (who was 14 when she passed) who I took in from my brother who couldn’t care for her) and two sisters from the same litter. They are 2 years old. Valentina who is a short haired gray and white tuxedo and Manila who is a long haired Calico. Currently I do have to medicate Remey with the vets direction due to his episodes. He doesn’t like change. During his episodes he tends to hide and have back spasms which causes him to have accidents outside of the litter box. I have created a safe space for him only to relax and unwind during his episodes.
“Elaine took such good care of our cat while we were out of town! Our cat is very particular when we are out of town and Elaine handled her with ease. We will definitely have her back next time ☺️”
“Heather took great care of my cat. Lira is an elderly cat with health issues. Heather came by everyday fed her, scooped litter box and gave her medicine and some love and cuddles.She also gave me detailed feedback and pictures after her visits. I am planning a trip for my birthday next month and I hope she is available to take care of Lira again. Highly recommend.”
“Perla is the best. It’s hard to leave my fur babies when I travel but knowing I have someone that takes such good care of them, makes me feel less guilty about leaving them.”
“This was my first time using Rover, and it was hands down the BEST experience I could have asked for, especially with Chris caring for my dog & cat! 🐾 Chris has incredible communication skills and kept me updated every step of the way, which gave me so much peace of mind :) He is also extremely punctual and reliable, especially when it comes to feeding and walking schedules, which meant everything to me & more. The level of love and care he showed my animals was truly top notch. He followed every instruction perfectly and still found ways to go above and beyond in so many thoughtful ways. For the first time in a very long time, I was actually able to relax and disconnect from “pet mom mode” because I knew my animals were being cared for exactly how I would care for them, if not even better. I also loved the pictures Chris sent, you could genuinely see how much fun my pets were having with him, and somehow he even got my cat to come out and play, which says everything. If you’re thinking about booking with Chris, do it!!! You’ll thank me later & your pets will gain a new best friend 🐾”
“Shardae has been wonderful for us and our 4 yr old kitty on her first 3 day sleepover with her. She seems to have taken quickly to Shardae’s home. Snuggled up with her when Shardae would sit down. Receiving updates and photos really helped to calm these pet parents and helped us enjoy our vacation. We now knew we made the right choice in choosing Shardae! 😃🐾”
About: Hi, I’m Zionya and I absolutely love animals!! I lived on a farm for a few years and really enjoyed caring for our lovely farm animals. I have spent the last few years house sitting and pet sitting for many friends and family. I’d like to show your pets the same love and attention. I provide a safe and loving home, I’m very attentive and patient. I also offer grooming services if needed. Your pet will always be in good hands. When I am house sitting I treat the home as if it were my own, with respect, allowing you to enjoy your vacation, business trip or family visit without worry. Please let me know what your needs are. I aim to provide the best service tailored towards your individual needs. I currently have a lot of flexibility as I work from home. I usually will spend the entire day watching and hanging out with the pets. After work we will have walks, play time an dinner. They will have all my love and attention until bed time. I have a fully fenced front and back yard with 3 young small female dogs to keep your dog company and I also have a few crates, toys and beds available to help them get comfortable. We watch the dog YouTube channel, which my baby girl absolutely loves!!
About: I’ve always been a dog person! I grew up around animals and have had both cats and dogs my whole life. For the past 14 years, I’ve also cared for friends’, family members’, and neighbors’ pets, so I’m experienced with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I love getting outside for walks—whether it’s a quick neighborhood stroll or a longer adventure, whatever is best for your pup. I had a baby in February, and we’ve made daily walks and hikes part of our routine. Since losing my own dog in May, I’ve really missed having a furry walking companion. I’ll typically have my baby with me, either in a stroller or baby carrier, so your dog will need to be comfortable around babies. I’m reliable, patient, and will treat your dog like my own. I’ll always make sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, and love, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you know they’re having a great time. I’m currently a stay-at-home mom, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet care. I’m able to provide walks, check-ins, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I love having animals as part of my routine and enjoy making sure they get the attention, exercise, and care they need. I only offer pet care in the client’s home, as I have a cat of my own who prefers being the only furry friend in the house. In your home, I’ll make sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for by providing lots of love, feeding, walks, playtime, and attention. I’ll also help keep things tidy along the way so your home is just as you left it.
About: I’ve watched over many people’s cats along with my own cats at home for years. I enjoy their company and respect their needs. I would be thrilled to watch over your cat, and make it a safe space for them. I have plenty of experiences with different personalities of cats, such as calm cats, energetic, cats who may need some time to warm up to you, and those that are playful right away. However your cat may be like, I’ll be happy to get to know them! :)
About: Ever since I was little, I always wanted to become a vet so I can care for dog and cat . I believe being a sitter is really close to that dream. My skills are being patient with your pup and making sure they leave home with happy tail . I’m currently working as a part-time and also a student in the morning. During the week, I only get called twice. So after school, I have a lot of free time on my hands. I would like to use that time to help out you out make your doggy happy when you are busy. I will take care of them as they were my own dogs. I will also reassure their safety and communicate if there’s anything wrong with your pet.

“Perla was responsive, thorough, and took great care of my husky for a free hours. Ample walks, feeding, and tons of photos. Couldn’t ask for anyone better. 10/10 would book with Perla again”
“Thank you so much! She is BEST sitter for us. She sent many photos for us. So We could know how our fur baby were doing. My dog had a very relaxing stay and is very good condition the next day. We'll definitely request again next time.”
“Marco had a wonderful day! I really appreciated all the updates and photos throughout his stay. It was great seeing that he got a nice walk and lots of attention. He came home happy and relaxed, which is always the best sign. Thank you for taking such good care of him — I would definitely book again!”
“Elaine offered the perfect dog day care for our boy! She sent photos throughout the day of Loki meeting and playing with new friends, meal time and rest time. She sent a report card at the end of the day so we knew how the day was for him. We will definitely bring him again for those long days when we aren’t able to be home with him!”
About: Hi! I'm a dog lover of all sizes. I'll run with your dog, teach them tricks (taught our former dog how to use the clicker and various commands), throw the ball with them, take them on walks and feed them. I'm located in PV by the PV reservoir so I'm always out and about in the neighborhood on runs, etc. I grew up with a Scottish Terrier and have watched German Shepherds, Cattle Dogs, Dashunds, Shiba Inu’s and other Terrier breeds. I've got many books on how to deal with various dog behaviors and it's taught me a lot over the years. Would love to help during the week or if you need someone to assist on the weekends too, that can be arranged. Hope to meet your pooch soon! I’ll be able to balance time as I’m at home most days of the week. I’m pretty flexible with my schedule and can typically make it work. I have a fenced yard and can take care of your pooch inside or outside. If your dog likes to run, I love running with em.
“Armando saved the day for me when I had to last minute go into the office. My dog is very playful and active which makes it hard sometimes to find a sitter that is ok with that. Thankfully Armando has a dog with similar energy as mine so they had a great time playing all day. Armando was very communicative and responsive. i will definitely be using Armando again! Thank you!!”
About: I’m very patient with pets, as i believe that they need special care with their daily living. I am someone who can make them feel loved and safe. I, myself have a miniature pinscher that can be handful at times but I very much love being with him. Dogs have this little world that makes me feel happy and peaceful, taking care of them is something i enjoy. I work full time in the day, but i still manage to walk my dog in the morning and the afternoon. Just like my dog, I am happy to welcome yours too and i will very much enjoy their company. I’d take them adventures and fun play times. I hope to meet your lovely dog! - Margie
“Milo loves to go and play at Sarah's house. It's so comforting and reassuring to know that she will step in and love him during brief times that I can't. I always feel safe leaving Milo in her care. Thank you. Sarah!!!”
“Sylvia was amazing! She kept me updated on my two dogs throughout their stay in her home and made sure they got plenty of playtime ! I would highly recommend her and plan to rebook !”
About: I've always known I was an animal person! I've grown up with cats and dogs since I was 5 years old — 7 family cats and 5 family dogs throughout the years — so I'm familiar with every stage, from puppy and kitten energy all the way through senior care. Personally, I have 3 wonderful pups of my own. We're an active household: we walk every day and make sure to play and engage with them throughout the day, so I understand firsthand what it takes to keep a dog happy, healthy, and mentally stimulated. As someone with three dogs of my own, it's important to me to provide the same level of care I'd want for my own pups. I want you to feel confident that your dog will be looked after just as they would be in your own home with the same patience, attention, and love. I am present full time for your pup! Care fits right into my everyday routine rather than being squeezed in around it, so your dog gets consistent attention throughout the day. After I have a better understanding of your pup's routine we'll go on walks, play in our fenced front and back yard with lots of grass to enjoy, and I'll send you pics and updates along the way so you can see how they're doing. For rest and downtime, we have a private, dog-friendly ADU set up specifically for our furry guests to decompress after play and meals. I'm present in the ADU with them, and we also have a Furbo camera set up for extra monitoring. If your pup enjoys canine company, my Australian Shepherd will keep them company there; if your pup prefers to be the only dog, we'll give them their own separated space and time instead, tailored to what makes them most comfortable. Throughout the day, care naturally rotates between active time outside and quiet time in the ADU, so your pup gets a good balance of exercise, mental stimulation, and rest with me nearby the whole time. Your pet's safety is my top priority, both indoors and out. My front and back yards are fully fenced and gated, with an added interior gate leading to the backyard for extra security. I never let dogs outside unsupervised for extended periods, and I always do a visual check of the yard and gate latches before letting anyone out. We have cameras covering the front yard, so we never open the door to unfamiliar people, and dogs are always leashed the moment we step outside the fenced area. Indoors, I keep household chemicals, medications, and anything toxic to pets safely stored away, and I make sure trash cans and food are out of reach. I follow each pet's normal feeding, water, and bathroom schedule as closely as possible, and I'm comfortable administering medication if needed. If I'm caring for multiple pets at once, I introduce them slowly and supervise their interactions until I'm confident everyone is comfortable together.
About: I provide personalized care for pets of all ages, from playful puppies to senior companions. With experience caring for older dogs, I’m skilled at meeting unique needs like medication schedules and gentle care, while also enjoying the energy and fun of younger pets. My goal is to ensure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine as I prioritize making time for walks, play, and providing attentive care for each pet’s needs. Whether it’s daily check-ins or extended stays, I ensure every pet gets the love and attention they deserve. I provide personalized care tailored to each pet’s needs, whether in my home or my client’s. This includes feeding, playtime, walks, and ensuring a safe and comfortable environment to keep pets happy and stress-free.
About: We send pictures with updates while you are away. We even offer face time visits! Your puppy is in the best hands in Los Angeles county! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine—whether it’s morning walks, mealtime cuddles, or evening play sessions. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, so caring for them never feels like a task—it’s something I look forward to every day. Whether in my home or a client’s, I make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable. I follow their routines closely—meals, walks, playtime, and any special care they need—while giving them plenty of attention and affection. I treat each pet like family, creating a calm and happy environment they can thrive in, even while their humans are away
“Inta and her husband were amazing sitters. It was only 2 days but the second day Appa (puppy) was ready to jump out of the car as soon as we parked and was very happy to see them. He loved it so much he almost didn't want to leave. Will definitely book them again in the future.”
“Arriyanna is amazing! Nova was extremely eager to get dropped off, she definitely remembered her first stay and I can tell she enjoyed it! I would definitely recommend her for all your daycare needs! Glad to know I have a sitter I can rely on.”
“No more shy pup! Traci was wonderful! She sent pics and vids and updates about my shy little puppy. I was concerned because he'd never been around other dogs before and he was wearing a cone...not the most inviting thing. On day 1, he seemed lost but she was great about giving him the attention and comfort he needed. Day 2, I could immediately tell from the pictures that my puppy was more confident and relaxed in her home and with the other dogs. I will definitely be using her again as a sitter!”

“I had a last minute request to walk and feed Tofu and Sky was able to accommodate it, which was a big relief. He arrived promptly, was very communicative throughout the process and asked questions to make sure Tofu gets the best care. Also sent me lots of photos. Great experience and definitely highly recommend Sky!”
About: I have experience giving medications (pills, liquids, ear/eye drops) as well as experience with senior and small dogs especially. Senior care is my strength but I love dogs of all ages. I work from home part time and am home all day Friday-Monday. There are no children or pets in the home so I am able to provide my undivided attention. Your dog will be inside my home most of the day as I do not have a yard. I do however have a large park/lake across the street that I frequent that is great for walks.
“My 5 year old doodle has been walking with Jailene for over a week now. We decided our pup needed more midday exercise than we could provide, so Jailene swooped right in to come on time everyday: friendly, confident, professional, and no frills. My dog even looks cool walking with her! They get an uphill mile in each weekday for 30 mins and our pup comes back worked, happy, and relaxed. It's been very easy to communicate with Jailene and we trust that our dog is in good hands.”
“Velvet continues to do a great job with Tank and Gelo! She’s reliable, caring, and always keeps me updated, which I really appreciate. My dogs are comfortable with her, and I always feel at ease knowing they’re in good hands. I highly recommend her and will definitely keep booking with her!”
About: I worked as a vet tech for 6 years and dog grooming for 4 years. Ive had dogs my whole life. I can't wait to meet your family member! I love walking and what's better than walking? Walking with a loving friend of the family. I will drop everything for a dog in need. I always make sure to keep open communication with the owners and other family members. Also I love sending little photos or videos of us :)
About: I have pet sit for friends while they are on vacation. I have taken care of about 4 dogs. I have lived with a dog for about 2 years I work part time so i have around 3 free days a week while the others i work schedule i can comfortably have time to go check in on your fur babies and work ! I can make sure your dog comfortably gets the care and attention they need while you’re away. Whether that is walks or just playing with them for a bit so they aren’t lonely
About: I’ve had my dog, Milo, since he was a puppy and I basically take him anywhere he is welcomed. As someone who was scared of dogs as a child, I made it a priority to understand my own dog. I learned plenty about dog enrichment and body language, which has helped Milo become a well-adjusted and socialized dog. My approach to dog walking is allowing the pups to obtain enrichment through walking with brief stops for quick training. All bookings will help fund my dog’s dental cleaning, so thank you! 🫶🏽 Available for walks almost any time during the week, so long as you book in advance. 🙂↕️ Will likely walk my dog along with your dog, but let me know if your dog prefers to fly solo. Milo and I take walks every 4-8 hours. All pups are welcome to make themselves at home and are allowed on the furniture. There’s a balcony if your pup wants to sunbathe with Milo. We have a crate that your dog can use, if need be.
About: Hi! I may not have a ton of recent reviews, but I’ve been on Rover since 2019, and animals have always been my passion 🐾 I currently work as a relief veterinary assistant at CAMP LA in San Pedro and have been there for 5 years. Over that time, I’ve worked both full-time and part-time, gaining hands-on experience with a wide range of animals and medical care. These days, I’ve shifted into a more flexible schedule so I can spend time with my baby, but animal care is still a huge part of my life and something I truly love doing. I’m also continuing my education to become an RVT and have a bachelor’s degree in Zoology. I absolutely love what I do, and honestly, I’ll probably be more excited to meet your pet than they are to meet me 😅 During the weekdays, I’m a stay-at-home mom, so my little one is with me. Because of that, I do require pets to be very friendly and comfortable around a baby. She’s gentle and used to animals she treats our two cats like royalty. Current availability: Drop-in visits Dog walks (best for dogs ~40 lbs or under) For larger dogs or house sitting, I’m available during evening/night hours (around 8 PM–4 AM). If your pet is a good fit, I would truly love to care for them and treat them like my own. I currently work as a relief veterinary technician, and since becoming a mom my schedule is more flexible, but my little sidekick comes with me 😊 (don’t worry, she’s friendly… just a tiny gremlin lol). Services I offer: Drop-in visits: All sizes welcome, as long as your dog is friendly House sitting: Available for friendly pets Dog walking: Small to medium dogs preferred; larger dogs are okay for walks during evening/night hours when my baby is asleep (for everyone’s safety) Boarding: Small dogs only (apartment rules), must be friendly with babies and cats My goal is to keep everyone safe, comfortable, and happy me, my baby, and your pet 🐾💛 I live in an apartment (not fenced), so for boarding in my home, I can only accept small dogs. Your pet must be very friendly and comfortable around a toddler and cats, as I have an 18-month-old and two cats at home. My cats are used to dogs as long as the dog is respectful, and my little one is gentle, but safety for everyone is my top priority. Because I’m a stay-at-home mom during the day, pets need to be especially friendly if I’m caring for them while my child is awake. For evening/overnight services (after 8 PM), I’m able to care for pets on my own, but I still require them to be friendly and safe to handle. Why you can trust me: I’ve been pursuing a career in animal care for years. I earned my bachelor’s degree in Zoology from Humboldt State University and also have my veterinary assistant certification. I’ve worked at CAMP LA in San Pedro for 5 years as a veterinary assistant and currently work as a relief technician on weekends while continuing my education to become a Registered Veterinary Technician (RVT). I’ve also volunteered with Marine Mammal Care Center and have two sweet male cats of my own. My goal is simple: To provide a safe, loving, and trustworthy environment where your pet is treated like family. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping them comfortable, I’ll make sure they feel cared for every step of the way 💛
“Pearl was amazing! She dropped in before our first booking to meet me and my dog, Lola. Pearl fed and walked Lola and sent photos of our happy pooch! Thank you so much for taking great care of Lola. We had peace of mind while out for the night and came home to a happy pooch!!”
About: I have been a sitter for years. It’s just something I love to do because I love animals :) Once I got a fur family of my own (Dog & Cat) I thought it would be fun to be a sitter and do something I love. I always go the extra mile and create content, if the client approves. I work as a music producer and have tons of time for my animal friends! They make my days better 🖤 I love meeting new people and caring for their animal family. It’s just something that brightens my days. I’m very caring and attentive. Always watching out for them to make sure they’re safe and happy. Knowing they’re properly cared for is my top priority.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for many years, including my own large-breed dog, so I’m very comfortable with pets of all sizes and personalities. I’m patient, responsible and calm in any situation, and I make sure every dog feels safe, understood and well cared for. Owners trust me with feeding routines, potty schedules, long walks, playtime and keeping their dogs relaxed while they’re away. I pay close attention to each dog’s needs — whether they are energetic, shy, or still learning. My goal is to give your pet a comfortable, stress-free stay and to keep you updated with photos and messages throughout the day I live with my Rottweiler and provide calm, structured, and attentive care in a home environment. I’m with the dogs most of the day, so they’re never left on their own and always supervised. I focus on keeping dogs comfortable, relaxed, and safe — whether that means playtime, walks, or just having space to settle in. I’m very attentive to behavior, routines, and boundaries, especially when dogs are staying together. I treat every dog like my own and make sure they feel secure, respected, and at home. I live in a quiet, safe home with great walking areas nearby. Dogs are always supervised and kept on leash during outdoor time, as I don’t have a fenced yard. I introduce dogs slowly, monitor interactions closely, and make sure everyone has space when needed. Safety and comfort always come first.
About: I grew up with dogs since I was a child. I grew up with Shiba Inus, so I know very well about them. I currently don't have any pets as my girl passed away from old age last year and haven't gotten a new furbaby since she passed. I have been a professional dog walker/boarder/care taker for 5 years before pandemic and had many recurring clients when I was in the Bay area. I love walking them and always give 1 on 1 attention. Some of the compliments I get all the time are how detailed my updates are with many pictures and videos. I personally love to take many pictures and videos of my pets and kids, so I just take a bunch when I walk them or have them over my place. I always make sure they have water (iced water when it gets hot) before I leave with treats (unless pawrents say otherwise). I always update with their potty details too as I know as a pawrent that you want to make sure your furbaby is doing well. If I feel something is wrong, I immediately contact the pawrent. If they made a mess, I try to clean up the best I can before leaving as I know how tiring that can be unless told otherwise. Another compliment I get is how well I am with senior dogs or dogs with medical needs. The dog I grew up with was with me since he was 3mo old until he passed (15.5yrs old). He had many health complications the last 3yrs of his life that I learned how to give every medicine that you can think of including eye meds, pills, syringes, etc. I always have pill pockets, so just in case they don't want the meds in their food, I can always wrap with pill pockets instead. I am very keen, so once I get to know your furbaby, I will be able to see any changes or sense a difference and will let you know. Since my dog was very quiet, we missed a lot of signs from him although I had a doubt as a kid. I don't want that happening to anybody or any dogs. I am also certified in pet first aid and pet cpr. I take pride in as a caretaker and love to be your furbaby's new buddy to hang out with! I currently work at home, so I can be with your furbaby all the time even when my kids are home. I don't mind taking them for walks or even to the park after work as long as weather permits Dogs are free to roam in kitchen/living room area and will have access to unlimited water. Treats will depend on what permission I get from each pawrent. They will never be alone with my kids without any adult supervision as I know how rough kids can be. My kids are taught, but are still too young, so I will never leave them alone with any dogs. I never left them alone with my senior girl even when she became weak and ill with her last few months of her life.
“Traci was very loving with my dog and my dog wanted to leave with her when she was dropped off, so that says it all! Traci kept me in the loop, was very professional and most of all, obviously an animal lover. I would definitely hire Traci again!”
About: I have experience caring for both my own dogs and my neighbors' dogs. I am familiar with both small and larger breeds, and I have worked with older dogs that require extra attention and care. My empathetic nature makes me well-suited to take care of your beloved pups. I am currently working part-time, so walking your pups would be more than just a job—it would be a hobby that allows me to spend time with beautiful animals. Safety, trust, and creating a comfortable environment are top priorities in my pet care approach. Whether caring for pets in my own home or at a client's residence, I ensure a secure environment by implementing measures such as regular safety checks, secure enclosures, and pet-proofing spaces. I maintain open communication with clients to understand their pets' specific needs, preferences, and any health concerns. This personalized care extends to providing a clean and stimulating environment with enriching activities tailored to each pet's temperament and energy level.
About: I’ve always been a dog person! I grew up around animals and have had both cats and dogs my whole life. For the past 14 years, I’ve also cared for friends’, family members’, and neighbors’ pets, so I’m experienced with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I love getting outside for walks—whether it’s a quick neighborhood stroll or a longer adventure, whatever is best for your pup. I had a baby in February, and we’ve made daily walks and hikes part of our routine. Since losing my own dog in May, I’ve really missed having a furry walking companion. I’ll typically have my baby with me, either in a stroller or baby carrier, so your dog will need to be comfortable around babies. I’m reliable, patient, and will treat your dog like my own. I’ll always make sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, and love, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you know they’re having a great time. I’m currently a stay-at-home mom, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet care. I’m able to provide walks, check-ins, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I love having animals as part of my routine and enjoy making sure they get the attention, exercise, and care they need. I only offer pet care in the client’s home, as I have a cat of my own who prefers being the only furry friend in the house. In your home, I’ll make sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for by providing lots of love, feeding, walks, playtime, and attention. I’ll also help keep things tidy along the way so your home is just as you left it.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for 6 years, my own dog, my brother’s 2 dogs, chicken and cats. I trained my dog from just YouTube and he is perfect. I’ve started to watch my neighbors dogs this summer, going for long walk and regular care. I’m currently on summer break so I have too much free time. I spend my days at the mall or at my brothers house volunteering to watch his dogs, even when it’s just for an hour. I have a fenced area and I’m very strong and fast so I can catch any dog if somehow the leash magically disappears. At home the door stays locked.
About: My mom and I had a loveable and adorable black pomeranian. I helped with potty training him from when he was a puppy. I thought him tricks, walked him, helped give him his medicine, groomed him, feed him & gave him water, and mostly loved him. Dogs are great company and are so loveable. I helped my ex with his tea cup yorkie. I feed him, gave him water, bathed him, cleaned up his pee pee pad, helped with giving him his medicine and I enjoyed his company very much. Dogs are not only our pets but a member of our families and can be at times like our little one. I miss laying down with my dog and my ex's dog also. Currently, right now I'm looking for a full-time or part-time job. So at the time being I have plenty of time to play, walk, feed & be your fur baby. I am available to board him/or her on the weekdays & weekends. I would always take out your pup with his/her harness or leash. I stay in a quiet neighborhood and I will always make sure he/she has food & water as well love.
About: I am an animal lover with over 10 years of experience providing exceptional care for pets. I have worked at a doggy daycare for over 2 years and am happiest when I get to spend the day with four legged friends. As a fellow pet owner I am well aware of how much your pet means to you. I understand the importance that they are not only taken care of while you’re away, but living their best life. When I am caring for your fur baby, my number one priority is that they feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I am comfortable and more than capable of caring for all types and breeds of pets, and am especially great with pets that require more experienced care (senior pets, special needs, high energy, shy/nervous). I am just as obsessed with your pet as you are, you can expect lots of updates and pics while you are away, as well as a piece of mind knowing you’re pet is in great hands. I can’t wait to meet your pet!

“Artem was incredible! Our other Rover sitter fell through at the last minute, and he willingly took in our pup that same day, so we could catch our flight on time! He was very responsive, and it was clear that he kept a safe and structured environment for the dogs. I would highly recommend him and will definitely call on him the next time we need our dog boarded. Thank you again, Artem!”
“Armando is amazing! 🤩 He took on not one but TWO young, high energy dogs. He provides beautiful pictures, and our dogs are alway having the best time in them. We can’t thank him enough!”
“Chris was absolutely wonderful! He took exceptional care of Kai, going above and beyond to ensure he was comfortable and happy. His professionalism and attention to detail were evident from the start, and I truly appreciated the frequent updates and numerous photos he provided. It gave me so much peace of mind while traveling, knowing Kai was in such great hands. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will definitely be booking Chris again!”
“Murphy had so much fun staying over with Alex and Fred! We could tell she was very comfortable with Alex and that she’d be in great hands right after our meet and greet. Fred also has a great temperament and was such a sweet buddy for Murph! Alex was communicative, flexible, and very trustworthy. We’re looking forward to having Murphy stay with them again!”
“Perla is truly a great doggie sitter. My puppy was very happy with his stay there she bathed him and took him for walks. He loved her dog and played so much at her house. I enjoyed all of the pictures and updates that Perla sent me throughout the day. It made me feel at ease knowing my little jax was in good hands. Will definitely use her again.”
About: A Little About Me 🐾 Ever since I was young, I’ve had a strong connection with animals, especially dogs. They have always been a constant part of my life, helping me develop a deep understanding of their behavior, communication, and social interactions. I am attentive, experienced, and always focused on maintaining a safe and positive environment for every dog in my care. I closely monitor all interactions and am proactive in addressing any unsafe behavior, whether playful or otherwise. My home features a secure property with tall fencing around the entire perimeter 🏡. The space is divided into separate areas to accommodate different playgroups, from small dogs to extra-large breeds, with plenty of shade and room to relax and play. Behavior Assessment 📋 For first-time guests, I typically require a behavior assessment before their stay. However, I understand that emergencies and last-minute situations happen, and I can be flexible when needed. If your dog has not completed an assessment beforehand, I will conduct one at drop-off. Introductions are done gradually and carefully, starting with my dog, Maya 🐕, before meeting the rest of the pack. If your dog is not comfortable in a group setting, they can be accommodated separately with their own indoor room and outdoor space. Before Your Dog’s Stay Please let me know: • Does your dog have any allergies? • Is your dog up to date on all vaccinations? • Is your dog currently taking any medications? Additionally, please share anything else that may help me provide the best care possible, including: • Resource guarding tendencies • Escape or fence-jumping behaviors • Eating non-food items or foreign objects • Previous incidents involving dogs or people • Anxiety, fears, or special handling needs Please also let me know about any special dietary requirements. If your dog eats wet food or requires refrigerated items, I have a full-size refrigerator available for storage. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and enjoyable experience for every dog in my care. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out—I am always happy to help! This is my full-time calling 🐾. I am available on weekdays, weekends, and holidays. There are occasional moments where I may need to step out for errands or appointments, but my family is always there to help with the dogs' care. Thank you for understanding 🙏. Pick-Up & Drop-Off 🚗 Our pick-up and drop-off times are flexible. We can accommodate as late as 11pm and as early as 5am if needed, including drop-offs the night before if you have an early departure — all at no extra cost 🙌. We also accommodate longer-term stays. The longest we've had a dog with us was around 8 months. No matter the length of the stay, we send regular updates — whether it's a text, photos, or videos — so you're always in the know. We offer a hybrid style of play — both free play and structured play 🐾. Negative behavior is calmly corrected, ensuring a safe and positive environment for all. Dogs sleep inside in a fully air-conditioned space ❄️, provided with beds and blankets, Dogs comfortable with pack life are welcome to free roam in a home-like environment 🏡, while higher energy dogs are separated as needed to ensure proper rest and health for all, fresh water is provided at all times. Safety is a top priority 🔒. Our property is fully enclosed with a 6ft fence & there is always someone present— keeping everyone happy and safe!
“Our little Emma had a fantastic time at her very first sleepover with someone new. Maria took great care of her and updated us with pictures and videos throughout the day and even the next morning when she was still fast asleep. She has only stayed at her grandma's once overnight and stayed up all night crying and waiting for us to come back to get her. At Maria's she had so much fun with Boss and the other friends that were over that she completely knocked out the whole night and didn't wait up. We will be having sleep over again when we need it for sure!”
“We recently had the pleasure of leaving our beloved Ziggy with Laura for a week, and we couldn't be happier! As first-timers in leaving our pup with someone new, we were admittedly nervous, but Laura quickly put all our worries to rest. From our very first meeting, she exuded warmth and a genuine love for dogs, assuring us that Ziggy would be treated like her own. True to her word, Laura provided daily updates and adorable pictures that showed Ziggy having the time of his life! It was comforting to see him so happy and well-cared for. We would definitely book Laura again when needed and highly recommend her to anyone, especially those who are apprehensive about leaving their furry friend with a sitter for the first time. Thank you, Laura, for being so amazing with Ziggy!”
“It’s my very first time looking for a pet sitter because I’m always so anxious about leaving my dogs with people that I don’t know but I can’t thank Stephanie enough for taking care of my puppies! It was a great experience, my dogs had fun, played with other dogs and she was so accommodating to their needs and also to my last minute changes! I was getting daily updates and pictures too! I was comfortable because she has so many years of experience and a lot of good reviews! I can fully recommend her and I would definitely be happy to bring my dogs again! Thank you so much!!!”
“Best sitters ever!! We’re moving to Michigan in a month and I’m going to be so sad because I know my dogs will will Elaine sooooooo much. They’ve never been happier. They are the best sitters in SoCal. Hands down.”
“Ashley was amazing. My dog, Nipsey, had a great time at her house. After the initial meet and greet, my worries all left as I could tell she would be the perfect person for the job. She was super attentive and followed all directions. She provided medications as needed but most importantly she gave him tons of love. I highly recommend Ashley if you're looking for a trustworthy person with a great heart and love for animals.”
“Knox absolutely loved his time with Brian!! I sincerely appreciate how well he took care of my little buddy. And all of the pictures and videos Knox looked like he was having the best time!”
“Quing was our very first sitter for our doggy after moving to SoCal from out of state. She sent updates multiple times a day and took such good care of our boy! We always felt great knowing our boy was in such great and loving hands. We will certainly be booking with her again next time we go out of town 😊”
“Very communicative. King took to her with no problem. The pictures I received were amazing. I can never capture great pics of king. I was able to do a meet n greet before the official stay which allowed me to be mentally at ease with leaving my fur baby for days. Will definitely book again.”
“Sarah is the best! She is truly an animal lover and made my pups feel so loved and welcomed. My pups became part of her family and they didn’t want to leave when it’s time to go home!”
“Corinne and Louis are amazing! You can tell they really care about dogs and they treated Wallie like their own. I was sent several updates and they communicated very well throughout the day. We plan on using them again!”
