Our Mango loved her kids and really enjoyed her time with them. In addition, it was a rainy day and Sheena washed and dried Mango’s sweater and also made sure Mango was dry from the rain. Would highly recommend and would book again.”

When we picked her up, she was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. Thank you for taking such amazing care of Skilly. We will absolutely be using your services again and highly recommend you to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!”

“Nicole is an amazing pet sitter! Great communication and very reliable. She was able to get one of our very shy cats to warm up to her. Nicole went above and beyond, even helping us with a household issue while we were out of town. Definitely recommend Nicole and we will hire her again!”
“Our dog is a typical German Shepherd, super attached and a good amount of anxiety. So we were definitely concerned about leaving her for 10 days. With Ashley, we learned quickly we had nothing to worry about. They bonded right away and the happy dog photos she sent along during our trip are some of the best photos we have of her. Ashley was incredibly caring and kept our pup on a consistent daily schedule. I highly recommend Ashley for caring for your pets.”

About: I have lived with many dogs and cats my whole life, in this way I have always been raised to care for animals. I have also trained a chocolate Labrador from puppy to adulthood! I know the basic methods of discipline for pets, while knowing the basic needs of care and love for them! I currently work in the film industry part time in the camera department. The rest of my work in video content creation is remote, this allows me to be flexible with my schedule and location. When at a clients home, I leave a large window of time to just spend time with the pets, whether that be petting, playing fetch, scratching bellies, or just hanging out with one another. Time with me and pets make me happy, and I believe the pets as well! Most of my hours in a day, in fact will be spent with the pet.
“Shannon loves my kitty like her own. She went above and beyond to make sure she was taken care of when we were on vacation. She sent lots of pictures of my fur baby. My kitty has a new favorite sitter! We will definitely always book with Shannon in the future. She even brought in my packages and took my trash can to the curb.”
About: I have many years of experience as a pet-sitter for friends and neighbors and have even worked as a veterinary assistant. I have experience caring for not only dogs and cats, but also rodents, reptiles, amphibians, birds and some livestock animals including goats and pigs. I have cared for senior animals and pets with medical conditions. I'm working a remote part time job as a 3D artist, so my schedule is very flexible. I am even able to bring my work with me as long as your home has internet, so I can keep a close eye on your fur, feather or scale babies! Aside from being a calm and loving companion for your pets, I am also comfortable with administering oral medications, specialized feeding requirements (calcium dusting insects, feeding rodents to snakes, etc) basic grooming requirements, spot cleaning enclosures and general exercise needs.

“Chelsey was great! She responded really quickly, worked with us to figure out a good schedule, and (most importantly) took great care of our pets. I'd absolutely recommend working with her, and I'm sure we'll contact her again in the future, too. Thanks, Chelsey!”
About: I’ve had many cats in the past, and I will love your fur babies like they’re my own. My experience goes back to my teen years, and I have done many drop-ins for friends throughout my life. I’d love to take care of your crazy or docile kitties when you must be elsewhere.

Whether your kitty loves to chase feather toys or prefers quiet time soaking up the sun, I create a nurturing environment tailored to their preferences. I’m also skilled in recognizing subtle cues in cat behavior, so I can quickly adapt to what makes them feel most at ease. With my background in home care and a gentle, respectful approach, I’m dedicated to giving your cat the attention they deserve. You can expect detailed updates and a worry-free experience, knowing your furry friend is in loving hands. I can’t wait to meet your whiskered companion and make our time together as comforting and fun as possible!
About: I have grown up in a family full of animal lovers! I have always had dogs, cats, and even pigs around me ever since I was little. I also spent my 4 years in high school volunteering at my local humane society caring for the sweetest pups and kittens. I find myself very comfortable taking care of all types of animals as I have raised and cared for many throughout my lifetime. I am currently a mom of two precious kitties who are my whole world.
About: Experienced, trained, and educated in wildlife biology, I have loved animals dearly and yearned to care for them all my life. Ive had many dogs throughout my life, rescuing them and giving them a loving home, and now have a sweet kitten named Tangerine. I’ve worked with both wild animals and many folk’s best friends. I have cared for fury friends of all kinds in many settings and in many places. I now have years of experience and many happy and returning clients. And, while I’m not a certified trainer, I do pride myself on training doggos or maintaining their training, the best I can. I love animals! I am an artist and designer, and my work is flexible and can often travel with me. I have developed the perfect flow, so that I can be with our fury friends when they need me, while also getting my work accomplished. I have stayed in many homes to care for pets. I find it makes the animals most comfortable to be home where they have their routine and their own familiar territory. I want them to be as safe, happy, and comfortable as possible, while their parents are away.

“I'm so happy I found Melissa! She was very friendly and resonsive in communication and when we turned up at her house I couldn't believe the size of the grounds of her beautiful home. It was the dream playground for my puppy. She sent me pictures of her while I explore Ojai and it was clear when I picked my puppy up that she had had such great time and loved Melissa. She's trustworthy and clearly loves animals.Thank you Melissa!”

About: My life has always been centered around animals. From the age of nine, I’ve been a dedicated pet owner, consistently sharing my home with both dogs and cats. A Lifetime of Compassionate Care: My extensive, lifelong experience covers a wide range of needs. I recently cared for my own beloved senior dog through age-related health issues, providing me with intimate and patient experience in senior pet care, including managing specialized needs and medication. Over the years, I've been the go-to sitter for family and friends, looking after their pets with the same dedication I give my own. This, combined with my prior volunteer work at local animal shelters, has given me a deep understanding of animal behavior and welfare. I approach pet sitting not just as a service, but as a commitment to ensuring your furry family member feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I work part-time from home, which means I am present most of the day, ensuring constant supervision and a predictable, secure routine. I'm available seven days a week to provide reliable and loving care for your furry family member. I live in a comfortable, clean apartment that is free of other pets and children, ensuring a calm and focused environment for your dog. While I don't have a private yard, we have immediate access to open fields and a walking trail right nearby. We enjoy daily walks and adventures on the trails for exercise and stimulation!

“Words cannot express how wonderful Richard and Mystique are and the loving care they provide for our high energy puppy. They treat him like family, and he gives them hugs and kisses during daycare drop off. They also take the time to give our puppy leash training on walks. Absolutely recommend Richard and Mystique.”
About: Hi! I'm Jessica and I would love to offer your dog a home away from home with lots of love and exercise! I have always been a huge animal lover. Not only have I had pets my whole life and worked for numerous families and friends caring for their pets, but I have professional experience caring for all types of animals. A few of the organizations that I have volunteered for are the Humane Society, Santa Barbara Zoo, and the Santa Barbara Marine Mammal Center. That being said, if you have a critter other than a dog or cat and need a sitter for them, I can help so please reach out and we can discuss! My home is a few miles from the beach and I take dog walks there often. We go on outings to nearby dog-friendly parks (Camino Real and Arroyo Verde are the favorites) and absolutely love to go hiking in our beautiful mountains, so you can be confident that your dog will get some quality outdoors time, whether they need a long walk or a good game of fetch! I am more than happy to take energetic pooches to off-leash parks if the owner and I both feel comfortable with the dog's recall and safety. Between outings, your dog will have the house and yard available as well as lots of attention from our family which includes myself, my husband, our 2 young kids, and our playful 30 lb dog, Sombra. There is plenty of room to run around! We have a backyard that is fully fenced as well as an open space of the living room with a box full of dog toys that always ends up being the puppy play area :) I guarantee your dog will love their time staying in a house with a yard and the beach and park close by. I will treat your pup like my own with lots of love and follow any specific guidelines you have for your pet regarding diet, leashes, exercise needs, training, preferred sleeping arrangements, allowed on furniture, etc. I will also send updates and photos during your dog’s stay. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask. I look forward to hearing from you and to meeting your pup! I work part-time from home so your dog will get a lot of attention and exercise. Walks and park visits are a daily part of my routine as are playing fetch in the backyard. On the weekends I like to to take the dogs on other adventures such as on hikes or to the beach. Our backyard has a 6ft tall fence and is fully secure. For dogs that feel more comfortable having a crate available inside the home for resting or sleeping, you can bring your own or we can provide one.

About: I've been a pet guardian all of my (long-ish) life and I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member. I’m reliable, communicative, and detail-oriented — I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know how your pet is doing. I'm currently not working full time, so I have time to help you look after your animals. My dogs (springer spaniels) lived very long and happy lives, and now I have a solo cat at home. I am available to visit your animals in your home, take them for walks, clean up after them and play with them. I can't have overnights at the moment due to my own pet.
About: Animals are my passion. I cared for my beloved Parson Russell Terrier, Milo, from 2000 to 2015, and he’s the reason I fell in love with caring for all animals. That love led me to volunteer at the Berkeley Humane Society as a cat companion in 2014, and later at the Santa Cruz SPCA as a dog walker from 2024 to 2025. I’ve also transported rescued animals—most memorably a German Shepherd from NYC to his forever home in Florida—and have cared for friends’ and family’s pets for many years. While I don’t currently have pets of my own, I’m fully committed to providing exceptional, reliable, and compassionate care for yours. Whether it’s a walk, drop-in visit, or overnight stay, your pet will be treated like family. I follow your pet’s established routine—feeding, walking, medication, and comfort—and during extended stays, I’m happy to water plants, collect mail, and keep your home tidy. My mission is simple: to care for your pets with genuine love, respect, and dependability. I work part-time with a flexible schedule, which allows me to be available throughout the week for you and your pet. My background in customer service has taught me the importance of reliability, communication, and attention to detail—qualities I bring to every pet care visit. I provide reliable, compassionate care that keeps your pet comfortable and secure in their own home. I follow their regular routine, prioritize safety, and care for them with the same attention and love I would give my own pets.
About: Hi, I'm Emily! I will care for your dog just as I care for my own, with lots of care and love! I love getting to know your dog and creating the most comfortable and enjoyable experience possible for them. By the time a dog heads back home, I often feel like I’ve developed a bond with them, and this experience is a big part of why I do it. I have a playful, young cattle dog. I also had a sweet senior chow/shepherd mix. My cattle dog gets along well with seniors, since he was raised with one, just as much as he loves to play with high-energy friends. Currently I work a flexible schedule that allows me flexibility for dog walking/drop ins. Usually I can create time in my schedule based on your dog's needs. As a trusted sitter, I am careful to follow any instructions you have for your dogs needs and the care of your home as well.

About: I love all critters, large and small. I have two large dogs which I have both trained. They are incredibly well behaved, but I know how to give them space to be rambunctious and playful. It’s so important for pets to have a safe space to be themselves and show their beautiful, unique personalities. I know how to work with senior and leash-aggressive dogs. Kitties are wonderful with minds of their own. I give them attention when they want it, but distance if not. They are cats after all! I can take care of fish too, as I have a tank of them in addition to my dogs. My schedule is extremely flexible! I walk my dogs in the morning, but I can adjust my walk time as needed. For overnights, my husband will take care of our fur babies. I start off with an introduction to you and your pet. Treats are a great way to start off on the right paw! I ensure your pet feels safe and gets to know me. I am caring and loving, and I also know how to give space to your furry one when they need it.
“Mellisa is so sweet and was so patient with my wynni! At the last minute I contacted Mellisa for help walking my dog and she worked with wynni until she felt comfortable going out with her. A lot of walkers would have given up!! I would definitely recommend Mellisa especially if you have a dog that’s guarded toward strangers!”

I have pets that have to be cared for in a specific manner, so I understand the importance of following instructions to be sure your pets are safe. I do not work outside the home. My time is not limited or scheduled. My girls are home schooled so we have no other commitments than to be sure your pets are cared for. I am able to come to your home as a drop in, or stay in your home while you are away. I do not board in my home due to aggressive pets of my own.
About: I’ve been taking care of cats and dogs since I was a kid. I also have been fostering cats and dogs for the past decade.

Most days I am at home working on the computer, which makes it easy to spend time with your pups :) I’m a very loving pet sitter. I know basic training and will take them on really fun walks. They will also get all the cuddles!

Amber's home is comfortable and she provided a very nice stay for my pup. She even gave me fresh eggs from her chickens! I highly recommend Amber and would not hesitate to use her again!”
“Great experience with Yulia and her family. This was my first time using Rover and the standard has been set super high thanks to Yulia. Leo had a wonderful time and I’m glad he stayed at Yulia’s. Thank you for taking such great care of him.”
“Ellen was fantastic, she responded promptly and was flexible with my schedule. She took great care of my cat Nalla while I was away. She even had a whole room set up for cats to play and hangout. I would definitely recommend her for all your pet care needs.thanks again Ellen!”
“Stef and Matt took such good care of my pup! They sent lots of photos and made her feel at home. It’s clear they love their dogs and I’m grateful to have found them! Will definitely book with them again :)”
“Sara was an absolute amazing care taker to our poocher Indie! We got updates and pictures throughout the whole stay! She took Indie on several walks, had plenty of play time, and made sure she was so comfortable and loved the whole time! Couldn't be happier with Sara and her love for our baby girl!!”
About: Dog training is included. Kurt B. (CPDT-KSA, APDT) is a certified professional dog trainer, who takes videos of the training he does while your dog is in his care. He follows a forcefree teaching method to teach new behaviors. Step-by-step. Errorless. We are not equipped for non social or dog reactive dogs. Please contact ahead of time to schedule free meet and greet and behavior consultation. I work full time as a professional dog trainer at my home. My life is centered around caring for and teaching dogs and the humans that love and teach them. I have a six foot fence with in a larger 6 ft perimeter fence. We have double gates at every entrance. Dogs can free roam. Dogs eat in crates and get rest periods in crates if need be. Dogs need to be able to handle being in a crate for certain periods. Especially if they don't settle down at night and are destructive. But otherwise they are free range.
“Jody is so sweet and took such good care of Koda. He got lots of love from her and her family. When we picked him up he seemed like he didn’t even want to go home, he was enjoying it so much. She even washed his doggie bed.♥️ Jody’s location is perfect for us since we need to pass her house on the way to the airport. We will definitely choose Jody again to take care of our Koda.”
About: Hi! We’re a dog-loving family offering a safe, loving home for your doggy. We have a one-year-old French Bulldog, Gigi, who would love a playful companion—that’s why we started offering boarding! We work from home with flexible schedules so your dog will get plenty of attention, care, and supervision. We have a secure, fenced backyard for safe outdoor time, and a clean, comfortable home where your dog can relax and feel at ease. We live close to a park and would love for your dog to join us on our daily evening walks. We have many years of experience as dog owners and understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. We’re a great fit for small to medium, friendly dogs who enjoy playing and being around other dogs and children. We can only consider dogs that are non-aggressive and great with other dogs and children. Please communicate with us about your pets needs and we’d be happy to accommodate. We’d love to care for your doggy like our own! We both work from home with flexible schedules, so your dog will get plenty of attention, supervision, and love throughout the day. We are available to board weekdays and weekends and over holidays. We have a fenced backyard and a French bulldog who loves company. Our doggy sleeps inside and has the option to play outside or hang out inside during the day. We take daily evening walks around the neighborhood or to the nearby park.
About: I have over a decade of experience handling dogs of all shapes, sizes and needs. Specializing in active pullers, rescues, and reactive dogs. I am comfortable and proficient with a variety of training equipment to fit your dogs needs and your specific training priorities. By observing the surroundings for triggers and your dog's body language for signs of stress, I ensure a safe experience. Every dog deserves a chance to get the mental and physical stimulation they need to live their best lives Dividing my time between dog training and volunteering at a local animal shelter let's me set my own schedule. Looking for extra dogs to walk to make up for the miles I can no longer put in with my senior Malinois. I have a securely fenced private yard for your dogs to play and multiple dog crates to provide each dog a secure place to rest. Leon my 10 yr old Malinois provides a calmly reassuring energy that helps guest dogs settle in.
“They were awesome, and I mean AWESOME! Nice safe space, fenced in yard, quiet neighborhood. I felt guilty taking back my dog from their kids, I could tell they gave my Ziggy so much love, and didn't want him to go even. Wonderful family, I will be back for sure.”
“We booked Chris to watch our two mini aussies while we were in town for a wedding, and we are so appreciative of his care and communication. 100% would book again. Thank you Chris!”
“We were very happy with Steph and it seemed our dog was happy too. She followed our feeding instructions and made sure he had 2 walks a day and got to play fetch in her backyard. I really liked the way Steph stated in touch with us through photos of our dog and comments on how he was doing. We highly recommend Step for a dog sitter . Thank you Steph”
“We had a wonderful experience booking with Kalia. She was always quick to respond to booking requests, messages, and was very understanding when we had to cancel a different booking due to a change in plans. She sent regular updates and pictures of our boy and I could tell he was having a great visit with her and her two goldens. She put our mind at ease as this was our first time booking through Rover. We had used boarding facilities in the past and our boy would come back overstimulated and often with tummy issues, but it was not the case when he stayed with Kalia. We will definitely book with her again next time!”
