“Tatiana was great with Herschel. She was very thorough asking about his routines and likes/dislikes. She sent frequent updates and I think Herschel had a great time! I know he can be a handful so I appreciate her patience.”
“Great sitter!! She sent me pictures of my puppy to make sure I was okay with the toys she was playing with and kept me updated with her behavior. Will be booking again for future services.”
“Mac had an amazing time with a lot of playtime and new Friends ! We received multiple pictures and updates throughout the day, I will definitely rebook and would totally recommend!”
“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”
“Alexandra is the best of the best! She is a major dog lover and made us feel very comfortable while our baby Timber was spending time with her. We received daily pictures and updates, as well as ensured any of our special requests were met. Her home is clean and secure, which is a major plus! We will definitely be booking with her again!”
“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!”
“Qing was amazing to our pup, she sent video and photo updates the whole stay to assure us our pet was well taken cared of. Highly recommend and we will use her again!”
“It was my first time doing Rover and also leaving Hedwig for such a long time. Elaine and her husband were recommended by my neighbors and I'm glad I took their advice. Hedwig came back home happy and healthy and I got very frequent photo updates about his activities. He went on walks, played with plenty of toys and other dogs, and learned how to use a doggy door. Would definitely board him with Elaine again.”
“My dogs were cared for and did not show any signs of stress when we picked them up. I do hope the planned new sod will get in soon. It is a calm atmosphere for my pets!”
“This was my first time using Rover. Jenny and family took good care of our doggie. I enjoyed getting pictures of him to see how he was doing. I will definitely be using her again. This was a great first experience.”
“Ashley had a wonderful time with Monika and her family. She was well taken cared. She was very welcomed. Monika gave us the updates/pics/vids we needed. We’ll definitely have Monika and family again. Thank you so much Monika.”
“Chris is amazing! He is super chill and amazing with dogs. My dog Fenchy had a really good time for 4 days. Chris updated me with pictures and I can tell that my doggy had her own little holiday with Chris. She loved him! I can only recommend Chris - thank you so much for taking such a great care over my baby 🥰”
“We have had Laura board our dog overnight once before. We just had to ask her again as we were so happy with all the arrangements and care that he was given. Well she said he was welcome back and I feel the experience was just as wonderful this time as the first time. We are very comfortable with her and her husband Alfred watching Rhett while we are away. She makes us feel secure that he is being taken care of in a very safe environment. This is the most important aspect to us.”
“Samonie was great! Communicated well with me, gave updates and Nikita looked like she had a great time. Thank you so much Samonie! I would definitely leave Nikita with him again.”
“Amazing experience! She took such great care of my dog and kept me updated with photos throughout the stay. I could tell my pup was happy and comfortable. Definitely would book again!”
“Narumi was excellent with Mina while in her care. She gave very detailed updates with pictures and videos. We felt very peace of mind with Narumi and will definitely contact her again when we need to board Mina.”
About: I’ve been officially pet sitting consistently since 2024 and have built my client base through word-of-mouth referrals and repeat bookings. I grew up with dogs but through petsitting, have experience caring for dogs, cats, birds, tortoises, betta fish, shrimp, and chameleons. Most of my experience is with overnight stays ranging from weekend trips to 1–2 week vacations. I’m detail-oriented, adaptable, and take pride in following care instructions closely while keeping owners updated with photos and messages throughout their trip. As a powerlifter and active person, I’m comfortable with both short and long walks and can keep up with high-energy & strong dogs. I work in-office during weekdays but am available mornings, evenings, overnights, and am fully flexible on weekends. My goal is simple: to make sure your pets feel safe and comfortable while giving you peace of mind when you’re away. I work in an office Monday through Friday, so I'm most flexible on weekends. For pets that are comfortable being home during the workday, I'm available for feeding, bathroom, and walks before work, in the evenings, overnight, and throughout the weekend. I am detail-oriented, adaptable, and take pride in following care instructions closely so pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I’m flexible to either board your pet in my home, stay at your home whether for drop in visits or overnight stays, whatever you and your pet feel works best for their comfort. Prior to the stay, (my home or yours), we will go over your pet’s routine and your expectations to make sure this is a good fit before moving forward.

“Just needed someone who could drop by to let out my pup while I’d be gone all day and Cassandra is a gem! Great communication and even though she was only with my dog for a quick potty break she provided many photos of their adventure.”
“Zulaiha did a great job caring for our babies and sending detailed updates and pictures during her visit. She was very helpful with stepping in last minute and making sure one of our cats got his medicine and special food. Would definitely recommend!”
“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.”
“Truly incredible - responsive, sent lots of pictures, and went over and above to make sure our cats were well taken care of. Also just a really fun person to talk with and clearly loves animals!! :) Would not hesitate to hire again!”
“Vanessa was incredibly thorough and had excellent communication throughout her visit. She documented everything she did with detailed notes and photos, which gave me complete peace of mind. She carefully followed all of Chessie’s care instructions and made sure everything was taken care of before she left. She also got along great with Chessie! I felt completely comfortable trusting her because of how attentive she was. I would absolutely recommend Vanessa to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.”
“I’m a so happy we chose Ivy. She went over all our pet instructions and loved my fur babies . Ivy sent daily pictures and responded within minutes to any questions or concerns.. She went above and beyond taking care of my house in the process. I trust Ivy and look forward to another wonderful experience choosing Ivy. Thank you so much Ivy”
“Heather was great with all 3 of my cats while I was gone. She sent photos of all 3 of them whenever she'd stop by to feed them. She was even flexible when it came to getting my building key to her when i had an issue arise. Only issue was it seemed like she'd check in way later than what I had put for the time I needed her to stop by. She did ask if she could be a little flexible in when she stopped by, which I said was okay, but it seemed way later than what I was expecting. Other than that, everything was great!”
“We loved Shardae. She kept us up-to-date with Vader, our, cat the entire time. We also were concerned he wasn’t going to eat or open up, and immediately he seemed to feel right at home with her. We are very lucky to have found her. She’s super sweet and we can immediately tell she cared for our pet as if it was her own. She was accommodating at the last second which we embarrassingly kept changing plans. Everything is deeply appreciated thank you!”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was basically a kid, and yes — your dog will become obsessed with me. I’m reliable, patient, and great with pets who need extra attention, belly rubs, or a hype-woman on walks. I’m a full-time student, but my fall semester is ending, so I’ll have plenty of time for your pets. I’m available most days for walks or drop-ins. I only do in-home care, so your pet gets to stay in their own comfy space. I’m hypervigilant, gentle, and big on routines—I keep doors secure, follow instructions, and treat your home and pet with respect.
“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 🐾”
“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.”
“Velvet is amazing! I rescued a pup off the streets yesterday and had an important appointment this morning. I booked Velvet late in the evening the night before, and she shifted her schedule to help me last minute and was wonderful with communication. Even more importantly, Velvet made this sweet rescue boy (again, fresh off the streets) feel calm, comfortable, and she even got him to snuggle with her! If she's this much of an dog whisperer with a fearful stray boy, I can only imagine the incredible care a beloved pet would receive. Thank you so incredibly much, Velvet! I can't tell you how much I appreciate you!”
“I had an amazing experience with Jiana! She took really great care of Nibbles and kept me updated during my time away with photos and check-ins that gave me so much peace of mind. Jiana is very sweet, kind and professional and I definitely recommend her!”
“She did a wonderful job making sure my cats were comfortable, happy, and fed every day while I was away for a week. She communicated well and was attentive to all the needs of my special-needs cat and my kittens. I felt confident knowing they were in caring and capable hands!”
About: I've been caring for cats ever since I was a child. I am an animal lover through and through and cats are my favorite. I love shy cats, talkative cats, grumpy cats, needy cats, cuddly cats and even "just feed me and leave me the heck alone!" cats. My goal is to make sure the stress of finding your kitties care melts away. I send pictures, I send updates and I always clean the litter box! I look forward to hearing from you and meeting your furry family members!
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: I’ve been surrounded by dogs ever since I was a kid. I’ve had my family dog that I mainly took care of growing up and one of my own now that I’ve had for the last 6 years, if you hire me your satisfaction is guaranteed! I currently work part time at a gym with pretty flexible scheduling so I have plenty of time to check in on your pup when needed. I have my own house with a big front yard and a big fenced back yard for dogs to run around as much as they want.
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 :)

“Armando was very good with Carson. Carson played with Armando's dogs and was well cared for. He was flexible with the time frame as I had a birthday party and was not absolute with pick up time. Thank you Armando.”

“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.”
About: I’ve helped train, and care for dogs for several years, and I love working with all sizes and breeds. It makes my day to be able to work with dogs and be able to care for them. Currently have a flexible schedule, as I make my own hours and with part time work and online classes. Willing to work on weekends as well. I work well with schedules and instructions particular to each individual dog. I make sure to follow what the dog parents goals are when it comes to care, as well as bring a fun and loving energy to every dog I care for.
“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.”

“Nicholas and Carole are the best! Our 8-month old high energy dog Fozzy loved his time there and slept so well at home afterwards, and even the next day! Nicholas took him on fun walks, exercised him with play time in their backyard, and let him run and play with their dog Bruce. They sent frequent photo and videos during the day. They even got him to go potty right before I picked him up, so that I wouldn't have to do that after we got home late at night. We hope to book them again in the future!”
“This was first time leaving our pup day care using Rober. Sonish is excellent and very communicative. He made us feel very comfortable. We received updates with pictures and video. He is truly dog lover and made my dog feel comfortable and welcomed. Thank you so much for caring my pup!”
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!!
“Bailey had such a blast at daycare with Liz, Ash & their dog, Miles! We knew our pup would be in great hands as soon as we met Liz & Ash, they are super friendly and extremely responsive. They made us feel comfortable right away and took such great care of Bailey while we were at work with frequent updates. They have a beautiful backyard that our dog loved so much - I think she had a hard time coming home afterwards! Their dog Miles is high energy (super great playmate) but is also very respective of our dogs boundaries when she didn’t want to play or share toys. He’s a very good boy! We definitely recommend Liz & Ash and Bailey will be back!!”
“Talecia took great care of our old pup Buckley! She was very attentive to his needs, limitations, and slower pace. It's clear he felt very happy and comfortable there and with her and her adorable and sweet pup Zoe. Thank you!”

About: I’ve always loved dogs and cats and am often the go-to pet sitter for my family. I have experience caring for pets of different ages and personalities, including helping senior family members with bathing, feeding, walking, and providing companionship for their pets. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I am reliable, patient, and committed to treating every pet as if they were my own. After 26 years working in an office environment, I decided it was time for a change and to do something I truly enjoy. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I love dogs, being active, and spending time outdoors. I enjoy going on walks and providing pets with the attention, exercise, and companionship they need. Caring for animals gives me a sense of purpose, and I love knowing that I’m helping both pets and their owners feel happy, comfortable, and cared for. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, which is why I make it a priority to carefully follow all instructions provided by pet parents. Whether it’s feeding schedules, medications, exercise, or special care requirements, I will make sure your pet receives the attention and care they are accustomed to. I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and respect, as if they were my own.
“Elaine is amazing! We went on a mini day trip and needed our dog Bubba to be walked twice. She exceeded our expectations and was very communicative with how Bubba was doing. She took a ton of cute photos of him playing and on his walks; he looked so happy. It was our first time using this app to find a dog walker and we were very lucky to find Elaine. She is trustworthy, kind and goes above and beyond. She saw a package on our front door step during one of the visits and she brought it to the backyard so it’d be safe; like I said, above and beyond! :) Highly recommend her for your dog walking needs!”
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.
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 grown up with animals my whole life. Any time there was an opportunity to look after a friend’s or neighbor’s pet I was more than happy to do it. Being paid to do it was nice, but being able to see the pet was the biggest reason I did it. I’m currently working part time so I have quite a bit of time on my hands. As I’m learning to navigate the adult world from recently graduating, looking after pets is a great way to stay active and build a good routine. When it comes to safety and health of your pet, I always run it by the owner dozens of times to make sure the animal is taken care of the highest degree. Whether it’s the specifics about a medication that is important to take or when it’s time to take the pup to bed.
About: Having a passion for animals had allowed me to be able to adapt to the needs of each pet I encounter. From ferrets to good ol' doggos, I am comfortable with all sorts of pets. I'm a Student Parent and being able to help pet parents in-between class and parenting myself is a perfect fit in my schedule. It allows me to control my schedule. Currently I am unable to keep pets in my home. My services are pet sitting or walking. Thank you for this understanding and I hope to work with you and your pet soon!
“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 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.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with over a decade of experience in dog walking, pet sitting, and cat care. I started pet sitting in middle school for family, friends, and neighbors! I’m comfortable with dogs of all breeds, ages, and sizes, from playful puppies to senior dogs needing a little extra TLC. I also have hands-on experience with newborn puppies. I’m happy to care for your cats too! Feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime, and all the love they need while you're gone. I work from home so I can take your pet to the bathroom whenever they need, take them on walks, and play with them all day :) I live in an apartment but it is very pet friendly. There are many places for dogs to run around or go to the bathroom.
About: i grew up around dogs. Ever since i was a child my parents have had dogs and i even got my very own dog at 10 years old. ive been around puppies and old dogs. i am not certified to train dogs but i have trained my own dog. i know that their food, exercise and love is key and number one. that is what you can expect from me. i work full-time at a preschool monday- friday i look forward to playing with your pups friday nights and over the weekend. schedule can change if given enough notice. i have a fenced in yard and 2 friendly fur babies of my own to keep your fur baby company. if your create training i have a small and medium create at the house. if you prefer to use your own i do have space for your own also.
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 💛
About: Hiiiii! I’m Taylor — a lifelong dog and cat mom with a true passion for giving pets the individualized care they deserve. I’ve had dogs and cats for as long as I can remember, and for the past decade of adulthood I’ve always owned at least one of each. I’m extremely comfortable with all ages, personalities, and care needs. I have extensive experience with senior and medically fragile pets. I cared for my senior cat (Mariah Kitty like Mariah Carey) with stage 4 kidney disease for 6 months, administering fluids, medications, and daily monitoring until she passed. Because of that experience, I’m very confident with special instructions, routines, and gentle medical care. I currently care for two purebred pets with specific needs — a corgi with early-onset arthritis and a Persian cat who requires regular eye cleaning, coat upkeep, and hygiene care (you know what I mean by hygiene care if you have a long haired pet..). This has taught me patience, detail-oriented care, and how to keep pets calm and comfortable even when tasks aren’t their favorite. Whether your pet needs slow walks, daily medication, extra brushing, enrichment, or just someone loving and reliable to hang out with them, I’d love love LOVE to help. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pets with someone, and I treat every animal I watch like one of my own. I was recently laid off so other than trips to go visit my family out of state and job searching, I am available to care for pets morning to evening! I can wake up early and stay up late if your family needs it. I provide care in your home only, so your pets can stay in their familiar environment and routine. I always adapt to whatever schedule, rules, and preferences your pet is used to — meals, walks, medications, potty breaks, playtime, crate time, bedtime routines, and anything else you need. For house sitting: I maintain your pet’s normal daily rhythm and keep your home clean, safe, and secure. I give plenty of companionship, enrichment, and calm presence, especially for pets with anxiety or special needs. They can feel when our energy is off you know? For drop-in visits: I make sure your pet gets bathroom breaks, fresh food and water, medication if needed, and lots of attention. I also handle small things like litter scooping, brushing, basic cleaning, and photo updates so you always know how your pet is doing. I promise I will send you the BEST content while you're missing them! For dog walking: I tailor the walk to your dog’s age, speed, and mobility — whether they need a slow stroll, a structured walk, or a little extra exercise. Safety is always the priority, and I keep your dog on-leash unless you specify otherwise. My goal is to make your pets feel comfortable and cared for while giving you complete peace of mind.
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 am a dog lover through and through. I have owned, cared for and loved dogs of every size and shape my entire life. There isn't a pup too big or too small, too young or too old! I am adaptable and can tailor my care to your dogs specific needs and personality. We're talking walks, fetch, pets, puzzles, games and all the attention a dog could ever ask for! I have experience with dog reactivity and dog based fear aggression. I also have experience in puppy care and senior puppy care! I am blessed to have a very open schedule which allows me to be available and flexible to your needs! :) I look forward to meeting you and your fuzzy family member! I am blessed to have a very open schedule during both the week and weekend, which means I am very flexible and can work with you on your specific needs. I treat every pet I care for as the individual they are. I am adaptable and tailor my care based on your pets needs and personality. I know how stressful it is finding care for your pets (I'm a dog mom too!) and my goal is to make sure I do everything I can so that when your dogs in my care, your mind is at ease.
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!
About: Hello! My name is Taylor, and I am an animal lover with 15 years of experience caring for my own cats and dogs. I have been walking dogs professionally for about 3 years. I'm offering all services available through Rover (walking, stop-ins, overnight sitting, etc.) to help you and your fur babies! Thank you for taking the time to read about me, and I hope to be seeing you and your pup as soon as possible. :) My work is flexible and remote, so I am available at any time. I can provide all Rover services weekends and weekdays, day and night. I have a fenced patio for fresh air, and an unfenced yard in front of my apartment for relief and play. My senior dog, Bronson, loves to make friends and welcomes company.
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs ever since I was a kid. I’ve had my family dog that I mainly took care of growing up and one of my own now that I’ve had for the last 6 years, if you hire me your satisfaction is guaranteed! I currently work part time at a gym with pretty flexible scheduling so I have plenty of time to check in on your pup when needed. I have my own house with a big front yard and a big fenced back yard for dogs to run around as much as they want.

“Alexandra is the best of the best! She is a major dog lover and made us feel very comfortable while our baby Timber was spending time with her. We received daily pictures and updates, as well as ensured any of our special requests were met. Her home is clean and secure, which is a major plus! We will definitely be booking with her again!”
“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!”
“Qing was amazing to our pup, she sent video and photo updates the whole stay to assure us our pet was well taken cared of. Highly recommend and we will use her again!”
“It was my first time doing Rover and also leaving Hedwig for such a long time. Elaine and her husband were recommended by my neighbors and I'm glad I took their advice. Hedwig came back home happy and healthy and I got very frequent photo updates about his activities. He went on walks, played with plenty of toys and other dogs, and learned how to use a doggy door. Would definitely board him with Elaine again.”
“My dogs were cared for and did not show any signs of stress when we picked them up. I do hope the planned new sod will get in soon. It is a calm atmosphere for my pets!”
“Chris is amazing! He is super chill and amazing with dogs. My dog Fenchy had a really good time for 4 days. Chris updated me with pictures and I can tell that my doggy had her own little holiday with Chris. She loved him! I can only recommend Chris - thank you so much for taking such a great care over my baby 🥰”
“We have had Laura board our dog overnight once before. We just had to ask her again as we were so happy with all the arrangements and care that he was given. Well she said he was welcome back and I feel the experience was just as wonderful this time as the first time. We are very comfortable with her and her husband Alfred watching Rhett while we are away. She makes us feel secure that he is being taken care of in a very safe environment. This is the most important aspect to us.”
“Samonie was great! Communicated well with me, gave updates and Nikita looked like she had a great time. Thank you so much Samonie! I would definitely leave Nikita with him again.”
“Narumi was excellent with Mina while in her care. She gave very detailed updates with pictures and videos. We felt very peace of mind with Narumi and will definitely contact her again when we need to board Mina.”
About: I’ve been officially pet sitting consistently since 2024 and have built my client base through word-of-mouth referrals and repeat bookings. I grew up with dogs but through petsitting, have experience caring for dogs, cats, birds, tortoises, betta fish, shrimp, and chameleons. Most of my experience is with overnight stays ranging from weekend trips to 1–2 week vacations. I’m detail-oriented, adaptable, and take pride in following care instructions closely while keeping owners updated with photos and messages throughout their trip. As a powerlifter and active person, I’m comfortable with both short and long walks and can keep up with high-energy & strong dogs. I work in-office during weekdays but am available mornings, evenings, overnights, and am fully flexible on weekends. My goal is simple: to make sure your pets feel safe and comfortable while giving you peace of mind when you’re away. I work in an office Monday through Friday, so I'm most flexible on weekends. For pets that are comfortable being home during the workday, I'm available for feeding, bathroom, and walks before work, in the evenings, overnight, and throughout the weekend. I am detail-oriented, adaptable, and take pride in following care instructions closely so pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I’m flexible to either board your pet in my home, stay at your home whether for drop in visits or overnight stays, whatever you and your pet feel works best for their comfort. Prior to the stay, (my home or yours), we will go over your pet’s routine and your expectations to make sure this is a good fit before moving forward.
“Perla did a fantastic job caring for our little Milo. He got tons of socialization with her dogs and her guest dogs, Milo was exhausted from playing with all his new friends. She’s seriously the best! Milo can’t wait for his next visit.”
“Christa was awesome! My dog Toby is pretty finicky, but she went above and beyond, going to the grocery store to get him cheese and other special treats and making sure he felt comfortable. He also gets itchy skin especially when he is nervous so she got him coconut oil to rub on his fur. She also took him on so many fun beach adventures and concerts in the park which I really appreciated. I was really happy with Christa! Would trust her again to take care of my Toby!”
“Koji had the best time! He can be pretty energetic, but Katie handled him so well and gave him so much love. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in good hands. So grateful and we’ll definitely be back!”
“Zahara has watched my small dog twice. He loves going there and Zahara and her family are so caring. He was not just looked after, you could tell he was loved! She was great about communicating. I will definitely use her again!”
“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!!!”
About: I had two dogs of my own for 16 years who have since passed. I took care of them from puppyhood to senior ages. I am attentive to the needs of dogs and I greatly enjoy them. I have walked neighbors dogs and have experience with dogs of all types and demeanors, from aggressive dogs and dogs that pull while walking to super happy go lucky dogs . I love them all. I currently am unemployed and do contract work when it comes, thus, I spend most days at home and have a lot of time to be with your pet. I am used to caring for dogs and planning my time around their needs. I typically walk dogs multiple times a day, for lengths depending on the dogs needs and abilities. I have a large grassy area near my apartment that dogs may run in, or we can walk to the beach to play.
“So happy with my Misty’s first visit to Ziya! Great location, huge fenced yard for playtime. Misty was treated like one of the family. Ziya has two of her own dogs and Misty had a wonderful time playing with them. My first time using a sitter and I had no worries about Misty’s safety. HIGHLY recommend Ziya”
“Our dog Finn loved Shardae!! It was our first time leaving him and Shardae gave him the attention and love he needed. Also, she was very fast to respond to our request, asking questions, and giving me the opportunity to ask questions, to make sure she was a good fit for Finn. I will definitely call Shardae next time we leave town. Big Thanks!!”
