“Rachel and Preston were amazing dog sitters! They texted me daily updates, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. During the stay, my one-year-old dog and their dog became best friends, and it was clear my dog was having the best time and receiving lots of love and attention. I feel so lucky to have found the best care for my dog, and I will definitely use their services again!”
“Lizet was wonderful with bear. She gives you updates and photos/ videos on your pet which it really appreciative of. She treats your pets like they were her own. Bear felt comfortable with lizet and you can tell she enjoyed her stay with lizet. Bear found her forever sitter and new friends 😁💙”
“Such a pleasant family and a wonderful first experience with Rover! Laura and Brian were so lovely and helpful explaining the process to us and taking our pups in. We really appreciated the daily updates and photos; you could tell the dogs were well cared for. Many thanks to Laura and Brian!”
“They are the best! They take such amazing care of Frank. We know he’s in amazing hands. We love all the pics and updates and can see how happy Frank is. Thank you!!!”
“I am so grateful that I found Robert to take care my dog, Snow. Robert is very kind and reliable. He is also flexible with drop off and pick up time when my flights were changed last minutes. I recommend Robert to anyone in need of trustworthy and caring for your dog. His dedication and genuine love for animals made all the difference during my time away. He sent me adorable photos and videos updates, which made being away a litter easier. I rebooked my next trip with him already!!! See you soon Robert. Thank you for taking good care of Snow:) -Patty”
“10/10, would recommend Mary Ann and Edwin. This was my puppy's first time away from our family. I needed someone to watch him for a last minute trip. Mary Ann got back to my request very quickly, confirmed that my puppy was up-to-date vaccinated, and confirmed the booking promptly. Dropping off my puppy was easy and socially distanced. While there, Mary Ann sent me pictures several times a day, updating me on what my puppy had been doing all day and on his eating habits. My puppy played with other dogs, sunned on her deck, and had an all around stellar time. My dog came home happy and healthy. Honestly, I felt like my dog was a little disappointed to have to come home.”
“My dogs loved it there so much they didn't want to leave lmao. It was like a vacation for them! Also our little dog is usually noisy and a bit of a brat but apparently gave no trouble haha. Thank you Kat and Earl! Can I give 100 stars?!”
“Absolutely Wonderful Dog Sitter! I cannot say enough good things about our experience. My senior dog was in the best hands for 5 days, and I felt completely at ease the entire time. She provided exceptional care, patience, and attention to all his needs from his medication schedule to his feeding schedule . She sent regular updates and pictures, which meant the world to me, and I could tell my dog felt safe, loved, and truly cared for. When I picked him up, he looked relaxed and happy, exactly what every dog parent hopes for. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely passionate about animals, look no further. I would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend! 🐶💛”
“I don’t even know where to start! Ivy was so amazing! She helped me out so much by watching victor last minute for me. She sent me so many great picture of victor and I could tell he was so happy with his stay! I even felt like he was sad when he had to leave haha i felt so confident that he was very taken care of! I will definitely be messaging ivy if I need a sitter again! Thanks again for everything ivy! I really do appreciate it!”
“Great experience, sent a lot of photos and was very responsive to any questions I had. First time leaving my dogs somewhere and I felt very comfortable. Would definitely use again.”
“Camille was so lovely - had the best experience! Her communication was excellent and she sent the most heartwarming updates and photos during my trip. My pup seemed to have the best time. Would absolutely recommend and will rebook for future trips! Thank you Camille!”
“Basilio did a great job of taking care of my pups. It’s clear he has a lot of experience caring for dogs, even dogs like mine that require daily medication. My dogs came home happy and healthy and I couldn’t be more grateful to Basilio. Highly recommend!”
“Alexis and Melisa have watched my dogs three times now and they are fantastic. They send regular updates and my pups are made to feel right at home. Well cared for and loved. I am so thankful. Highly highly recommend. I have already booked my next stay!”
“I had such a wonderful experience with Renata while she took care of my rescue dog during a recent long family trip. I feel so lucky to have found Renata and highly recommend her. She has such a deep knowledge and true love of dogs. Her daily updates and pictures of our dog gave us so much comfort and relief while we were away. I could see that my dog was really having fun playing with Renata’s dogs, taking walks in the park or neighborhood and getting lots of loving cuddles and belly rubs. Renata and her family took such good care of our dog. She took her in like one of her own and I am beyond grateful.”
“Bernadette took amazing care of our two pugs, Dexter and Darla. Our dogs are family and Bernadette treated them just as we do. She sent contant updates, was on time for meets, and took great care watching them. We don't leave our kids with just anyone, but we would definitely used Bernadette again.”
“Lillybeth & her family were great! It was our first time leaving our "COVID" puppy overnight with someone outside of our family, so we were a bit worried initially. Lillybeth kept us updated with photos and reassured us that they were doing great. She was also very communicative and quick to respond. Our dogs came back happy and tired, so I'm sure they had a wonderful time. Thank you Lillybeth!”
“Candy is an excellent dog sitter. She's patient, kind, and loving with what she does. We are her return clients. Even though her Cleo is not feeling well, she didn't cancel our booking and was able to take good care of our Cookie. Thank you, Candy! Hope Cleo recovers soon.”
“Karn and his wife were great! We had never left our dogs with anyone outside of family before. Needless to say we were anxious. Especially because one of our dogs was still in a cone the week he stayed with them and needed medication. They made sure he got the meds and attention he needed. They sent photo updates and overall made our trip less stressful. We will definitely use them next time we have to travel.”
“Annabelle and Ben are incredibly kind and professional. I had them watch my dog, Dante, for five days while I went out of town. I highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for a safe, fun, and loving environment for their dog. They welcomed Dante, who is not used to being away from the family, into their home and treated him as if he was their own. They even allowed Dante to sleep in their bedroom and relax on their living room couch. Annabelle and Ben have a large fenced-in yard where Dante was free to hang out and play with their very sweet pup Ranger. Dante also enjoyed fetching softballs from their kids and taking walks around their neighborhood. Annabelle and Ben were incredibly professional throughout the whole process. Annabelle invited me over for a meet and greet before booking and sent pictures daily while I was away. I could tell from the photos that Dante was very well taken care of. Dante came home calm and happy which is a true testament to the expert care that Annabelle and Ben provided. I will definitely use them again. In fact, I will be bringing Dante back in a few weeks!”

About: I've taken care of cats for as long as I remember, I used to foster with my mom. I would take in any kittens or cats in need, even the sick ones. I have saved the lives of many unfortunate fur babies. I have even had to play the roles as a mama to a few babies. I have taken care of many cats at once, and have loved every single one of them as my own.
“Rich was fantastic! He took such great care of our babies and kept us updated with photos throughout the stay. We truly appreciated his attentiveness and will definitely be booking him again.”
“Mayra was great! She met with me before the engagement to meet my dogs and make sure she knew what they needed, and communicated after each walk. Best of all, both of my guys were relaxed and happy to see me without being frantic when I got back. That's the real sign of a great sitter. Will definitely use again.”
About: Hi! I’m Alexis. I’ve been around cats my entire life and currently have 5 of my own, so I understand all the different personalities they can have—from super cuddly lap cats to the independent ones who act like they don’t care (but secretly do). I know how important it is for cats to feel safe and comfortable, especially when their owners are away. I always take my time with them and let them come to me on their own terms. Whether your cat wants playtime, treats, gentle attention, or just someone to sit nearby and keep them company, I’m happy to match their energy. I also have experience caring for cats with medical needs and giving medications when needed, so I’m comfortable following detailed instructions and routines if your cat requires a little extra care. My goal is simple: to make sure your cat feels calm, cared for, and stress-free while you’re away—and to give you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. I’ll treat your cat like one of my own, with patience, love, and lots of respect for their space and personality.
About: Your cat will be wrapped in love every second they’re with me! 🐾🐱 I care for every kitty like they’re part of my own family—with gentle attention, cozy cuddle sessions (if they’re into that!), playtime, and all the love their heart can hold. 💕 With over 2 years of professional experience at a pet boarding facility and more than a decade of rescuing and raising animals, I’m confident caring for cats of all ages and personalities. At home, I’m a proud cat parent to a sassy feline who keeps me on my toes as well as three needy pups! so I understand the unique needs of our independent, quirky, and sometimes particular fur babies. Whether your cat is playful, shy, senior, or needs extra TLC, they’ll be in experienced, loving hands with me.💕
“Jaimie’s attention to detail is perfect! She doesn’t forget anything. She’s very loving with the animals and she cares. Couldn’t ask for anything more. See you next time!”
About: I had a boston terrier and doberman as pets. Though I don’t have professional experience in taking care of dogs, I love taking care of people and pets. I’m open to learning, observant, communicative. I’m a nurse who works 3 days a week, studying part time and I am seeking for tasks I can do during my free time. I currently do not have pets at home right now. I have more interest in walking pets and drop-in visits. I also have the patience and strength to wall bigger dogs as I had a doberman who was 1-2 yrs old.
About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for cats. My responsibilities have included feeding, grooming, administering medication, and providing plenty of playtime and affection. I'm comfortable with cats of all ages and temperaments, from playful kittens to shy seniors, and I'm adept at recognizing and responding to their individual needs.
About: Hi neighbors! I’m Kat. I am a pet sitter from Los Angeles and I’ve been caring for pets for over 6 years for both friends and clients in places like SF, NY, LA, and Brazil.

After spending the past year living in Colombia, I’m back home in Los Angeles and excited to offer pet care to my local community. I’m also trained as a Wilderness First Responder, so I’m comfortable handling emergency situations and can give medications like pills, inhalers, or injections if needed. I’m happy to help with meals, baths, exercise, or just hanging out and keeping your pet company. My schedule is pretty open right now, and I’m flexible with timing as long as we communicate in advance. I’m happy to stick to your pet’s usual routine or bring in a little play and adventure with toys, walks, or just some fun time together. Looking forward to meeting you and your pets! Chao Kat W I am a freelancer so my schedule is sporadic however providing pet care is my priority and I tend to structure my work schedule around that.

Prices are estimates per day for 1 dog. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
“Greatly appreciate Brenda, she cares for my Coco on the weekends. She works with my hours which is great since my job is a bit hectic during these days. Coco loves being with her and that is something I’m very grateful for. Will continue bringing her 🙂”
“My pup is always happy and tired when she comes home from Lillybeth’s home! I am always comfortable knowing that my girl is being taken care of and loved. Will continue to trust Lillybeth with my dog!”
“Katherine and Earl are our go-to people for our energetic dog Nixon!! I get sent out of town for work last minute and they almost always save the day. Our dog loves it there and the updates are hilarious and adorable. Would recommend them to anyone!!”
“Natalie was great! This was our first sitting with her. I was anxious. Natalie sent me several pictures of Bella playing, relaxing. I am glad I found Natalie!!”
“I was looking for a daycare option for my corgi to get used to bigger dogs again after a bad experience with a loose dog. Brasilio gladly did a meet and greet with us and brought his Husky to meet Tucker. He was very laid back with Tucker and very comfortable giving him a chance to get acclimated to his dog. Tucker responded very well so I felt like he’d be in good hands w/ Brasilio. He was also very accommodating when he needed to stay overnight when I had a schedule change and wanted to just pick him up the next day. Tucker has been doing MUCH better with new dog friends thanks to Brasilio!”
“Laura and Brian are amazing. LUNA’s first experience was great. She suffers from separation anxiety and it is the first time she is in daycare. They welcomed her with open arms. I am grateful for their updates and pictures. I will definitely return when needed.”
“What can I say about Mary Ann that hasn’t been said before? She is absolutely wonderful and really cares for your pet. I was anxious to leave my puppy but we did a meet and greet first and that went very well. The day of actual care, I was still anxious (but that’s me being overprotective) heard my baby bark and I almost turned around but then I heard Mary Ann talking to her and I didn’t hear her bark anymore. Mary Ann really loves pets. I received regular updates and pics to let me know how she was doing. My baby had a huge smile in each pic. Even when I picked her up you could tell she was happy to see me but kept wanting to go back to Mary Ann. ? I am definitely going to use Mary Ann again. Couldn’t ask for a better person.”
“When I picked my dog up on the first day he was very happy. He had a lot of fun there and enjoys going to see Karn whenever we go. I recommend Karn to anyone who needs there dog watched.”
About: I've owned and cared for dogs since childhood! I love small and large breeds and have experience with puppies and elderly dogs. All are loved in my home. Hey! I'm Nicole — a North Hollywood homeowner with a big fenced yard, lots of outdoor space, and a maltipoo puppy named Arff who'll happily show your doggy around. I also have a six year old who will happily spend time with your dog if they enjoy children! I work from home and all dogs are genuinely part of the family here, meaning your dog sleeps inside, hangs out with us, and gets real attention — not crate time. I keep things small on purpose: I host up to two guest dogs at a time so I can give full attention to your pet. Whether your dog is a puppy figuring things out or a senior who just wants a soft couch and some sunshine, they'll be comfortable here. We can also accommodate dogs that need a little extra space and a quiet setting. Just let us know what would be best!
About: I’ve had several dogs throughout my life and will probably be getting another one or two within the next year. My main option on here is dog boarding but, depending on the dog boarding schedule, I or somebody else on my team could also be open to do drop ins, house sitting, or walks, especially for those who have already used our boarding services. Please ask about these additional services after a confirmed boarding session. I’m in the middle of taking a few years off from teaching high school because A) Who couldn’t use a break from that? and B) I am focusing on building up a short-term rental business (Airbnb mostly). As an Airbnb host I spend a lot of time at home and have found that one of my favorite things to do is play with dogs in the yard (especially, when there’s more than one of them here at the same time!) and take them on trips to the park. I love dogs and am very reliable, trustworthy, and flexible. I live in a house with a fenced yard and all of the instructions you leave will be followed to keep your little buddy happy & safe! I am home most of the day and when I do leave it's usually only for an hour or two at a time. Most of what I do at home (working on a computer, household chores, yard work) I do in the presence of whatever dogs happen to be staying at that time. One limitation that I do try to stick to is to avoid scheduling drop-offs or pickups on Sundays before 10:00 am. Unfortunately, Rover doesn't give me the option to block off those times without blocking out the entire day so adding this note here is the only way to give you a heads up (hopefully, you read this before booking). I have a fenced yard and usually board 2 or 3 dogs at a time so that they have playmates. If ever I leave the house, dogs are left inside. Dogs that stay here must be up to date on shots as well as on a flea-prevention medication.
About: I have several years of experience caring for dogs, including my own as well as the pets of family and friends. During this time, I’ve helped with feeding, playtime, and daily walks, while ensuring that each pet feels safe, happy, and comfortable. I genuinely enjoy being around animals and always make it a priority to give them the attention, patience, love, care, and treats they deserve. I’m currently working from home and off on weekends which allows me to give pets plenty of time and attention. I’m also able to walk them throughout the day for regular walks and playtime. My home provides a safe and welcoming envoronment for pets. I have a gated front yard and spacious backyard with plenty of room to run around, play, and explore safely. I also have a senior dog who is very easygoing and enjoys the company of other dogs. Lastly, I’m more than happy to accommodate each dogs needs and routines.
About: I have taken care of dog for 6 years now and I have a dog myself. She's a small size Havanese mix, 2.5 years old. I have a flexible schedule, and available to keep your dog company with my little dog. The dog can be inside or in the backyard. I have a house with a big fenced back yard, and a small friendly dog. I live in a quite and neighborhood, my back yard has grass area.
About: Thank you for considering me to care for your pet!:) I help with walks, feedings, and medication, and playtime of course. I’m really patient with all kinds of pets, from puppies to older dogs. I make sure every pet feels comfortable, safe, and loved while they’re with me. I’m currently in online school, so I have plenty of free time to spend with your pets! I’m available for you anytime of the week! I always pay attention to what each pet needs, whether that’s extra playtime, cuddles, or a little space. I want to always make sure they’re safe and comfortable.
“Bonn is an amazing sitter! So accommodating of my needs and those of Junie B! Highly recommend his services! I can tell he cares very much about the care he provides for his clients.”
“Bernadette took great care of Wensley. He seemed really content when I picked him up, and I appreciated her flexibility as far as drop off time. She's a great communicator and kept me posted with pictures. I will definitely be using Bernadette again for Wensley's future doggy daycare needs. Also, he loved the extra little doggy treats Bernadette had made. Such a great little surprise.”
“Aida was great! Shes very caring about our dog Nicos well being! He is a naturally nervous puppy, but she works with him to get him out of his shell! Shes responsive and communicates throughout the day! Am booking again as we speak!”
“She was lovely and very understanding. My dog usually has a hard time playing with other dogs or even going with other people but she had no problem and Mason looked happy.”
About: Hello, my name is Mayra Esparza. I have 8 years of personal experience working with dogs and about 1 year of professional experience. Currently I am an employee at a doggie daycare in Studio City where I look after about 40-60 large dogs on a daily basis. As a doggie daycare attendant I am in charge of feeding all our doggies (while following all feeding instuctions given by the owner), cleaning up after them, administering all oral and topical medications, and most importantly looking after the well being of all the doggies. I am extremely lucky to have the opportunity to work with dogs on a daily basis. Everyday I get to see how loving, funny, and intelligent dogs are. I love the bonds I have grown with so many of the doggies I see on a regular basis, and I truly cannot wait to form a bond with your doggie as well.

About: I have been caring for animals since I was 16 years old, starting with small animals and rodents. I got my first dog, Haku, 4 years ago, and I have been obsessed ever since. I have experience with both larger dogs and small dogs, and would love to get to know yours! At the moment, I'm available full time for your pet. I am currently in an online Masters program full time, so I am able to work with your schedule. When you entrust your pets to me, you can rest assured that they'll be treated as if they are my own. I believe in open and transparent communication, so you'll receive regular updates on your pet's wellbeing while you're away.
About: I’ve loved animals my entire life and have experience caring for both cats and dogs of all sizes and breeds. From playful puppies to senior pets needing extra attention, I provide patient, loving care tailored to each animal’s unique needs. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding, administering medication, or just giving them some extra love while you’re away—I treat every pet like family. What sets me apart is my calm, reliable nature and ability to connect with animals quickly, making them feel safe and cared for in any situation. As a member of the Editors Guild (IATSE Local 700), I work from home, which gives me the flexibility to provide attentive and consistent care for your pets throughout the day. My schedule allows for regular walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins—making sure your furry friends are never left feeling alone or overlooked. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in yours, I create a calm, loving environment where animals feel safe and cared for. I follow your pet’s routine closely—feeding, walking, administering medication, and giving them the attention they need to feel secure. Because I work from home as a member of the Editors Guild (IATSE Local 700), I’m able to offer flexible, consistent care throughout the day. I make sure each pet gets plenty of play, cuddles, and supervision, whether I’m hosting them or visiting them in their own familiar space.
About: Hi! My name is Alexis, and animals have always been one of the biggest joys in my life. I absolutely love dogs, cats, and animals of all kinds. I’ve had cats and dogs my entire life, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. I currently have two dogs and five cats of my own, so I understand the love, attention, and commitment that pets need every day. If you know me, you know I’m the person who gets excited every time I see a dog on a walk or a cat lounging outside. I’m always the first one asking if I can pet a dog, and I never pass by a stray animal without trying to make sure it has food, water, or a little kindness. My love for animals is genuine, and spending time with them never feels like a job to me. Over the years, I’ve also helped care for my own pets when they’ve been sick. Whenever one of my cats or dogs needed medication, special care, or extra attention, I was usually the one making sure they got what they needed. Because of this, I’m comfortable following care instructions and being patient with pets who may need a little extra support. In addition to my experience with animals, I work in healthcare, which has taught me the importance of responsibility, attentiveness, and compassion. I understand how important it is to pay attention to details, follow routines, and provide quality care—skills that I bring with me when caring for pets as well. I’m often the go-to pet sitter for family and friends whenever they need someone reliable to care for their pets. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, medication administration, or simply keeping your pet company while you’re away, I treat every animal as if they were my own. I know that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision. My goal is to make sure your furry family member feels safe, loved, comfortable, and cared for while giving you peace of mind that they’re in good hands. I can’t wait to meet you and your pets! Pet care fits really naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I currently work night shift, which means my days are usually free and very flexible. Because of that, I have plenty of time and availability to dedicate to walking, drop-ins, and spending quality time with pets during the day. I actually love that my schedule allows me to be fully present when I’m caring for animals—I’m not rushing between work or distracted by a 9–5 schedule. I can give pets my full attention, whether that means morning walks, midday visits, feeding routines, playtime, or just keeping them company and making sure they feel comfortable while you’re away. My routine also makes it easy for me to be consistent and reliable with scheduling. I’m used to balancing responsibilities and working odd hours, so I’m very organized and good at sticking to care instructions and time-sensitive routines. Overall, my flexible daytime availability makes pet care a perfect fit for my lifestyle, and I really enjoy being able to spend that time doing something I genuinely love. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my main priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and as relaxed as possible while their owners are away. I always take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special instructions so I can keep things consistent and familiar for them. I approach every visit with patience and calm energy, letting pets warm up to me at their own pace. Whether it’s feeding, walks, litter box cleaning, playtime, or just spending quiet time together, I make sure each pet gets the attention and care they need. I’m also very detail-oriented when it comes to following instructions. If a pet has a specific feeding schedule, medication routine, or special care needs, I make sure everything is done exactly as requested. I have experience administering medications and caring for pets with extra medical needs, so I’m comfortable handling those responsibilities with care and reliability. While I’m in the home, I also make sure everything stays clean, respectful, and as you left it. My goal is not only to care for your pet, but to give you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands and your home is being respected. Most importantly, I treat every pet like they’re my own—always with love, patience, and attention to their unique personality.
About: I’ve been around animals since I was 6! I’m extremely comfortable around all kinds of pets, having previously owned dogs, cats, small rodents and snakes. I also used to work overnight at a dog daycare and am comfortable handling various breeds and all ages of dogs. I am also okay with senior pets since I have one myself! Due to that, I’m experienced with handling medicine and sticking to a routine. I’m used to oral and topical medication but am willing to learn any other sorts to take care of your loved one! I’m currently a student who creates her own work schedule so I will make sure to have all the time needed to take care of your pet! When i do have classes, I will be sure to make my availability known.
“I was debating on writing this review because I don’t want others to steal Henry away from me. He gives my baby such a great work out. He’s by far THE BEST walker Emmitt has ever had and my door gets excited when he sees him. Henry feels like part of our family now!”

Currently I am an employee at a doggie daycare in Studio City where I look after about 40-60 large dogs on a daily basis. As a doggie daycare attendant I am in charge of feeding all our doggies (while following all feeding instuctions given by the owner), cleaning up after them, administering all oral and topical medications, and most importantly looking after the well being of all the doggies. I am extremely lucky to have the opportunity to work with dogs on a daily basis. Everyday I get to see how loving, funny, and intelligent dogs are. I love the bonds I have grown with so many of the doggies I see on a regular basis, and I truly cannot wait to form a bond with your doggie as well.
About: With over five years of dedicated experience, I've cared for a wide range of furry, feathered, and scaled friends, from energetic puppies and cuddly cats to exotic birds and reptiles. I'm passionate about providing personalized attention, ensuring every pet receives their favorite treats, plenty of playtime, and comfortable routines. Owners consistently praise my reliability and the genuine bond I form with their beloved companions, always leaving them with peace of mind. As I'm currently unemployed, I have complete flexibility to dedicate ample time to your beloved pets. I'm available for drop-in visits, dog walking, and overnight stays at any time, seven days a week. Your pet will receive undivided attention and consistent care throughout the day, with plenty of opportunities for play, exercise, and companionship. I can easily accommodate last-minute bookings and extended care periods. When caring for pets in their own homes, I prioritize maintaining their familiar routines and environment. This includes adhering strictly to feeding times, administering any necessary medications, and engaging in regular walks and play sessions tailored to their energy levels. My goal is to provide a secure and loving atmosphere that minimizes any stress associated with your absence, ensuring your pet feels safe, happy, and well-cared for until your return.
“Crystalbell was so nice! Oliver loved his awesome walk with her. He was a bit hesitant at first and didn’t want to leave my side. She was very friendly and patient with Oliver. She updated me afterwards and also sent me pics of my baby looking so happy. She even introduced a park I’ve never been to, that’s so close to my house! Definitely will book again next month while I’m on vacation! Thank you!”
About: I had a boston terrier and doberman as pets. Though I don’t have professional experience in taking care of dogs, I love taking care of people and pets. I’m open to learning, observant, communicative. I’m a nurse who works 3 days a week, studying part time and I am seeking for tasks I can do during my free time. I currently do not have pets at home right now. I have more interest in walking pets and drop-in visits.

About: We've been taking care of pets since age 5 for our family,friends and neighbors. We provide walking, feeding, limited training, special care, and limited grooming. If you have any questions please feel free to ask. My husband Robert is a full time caregiver and I'm a stay at home mom. Gives us plenty of time to take care of your loved ones. He will be assisting me on walks and overnight stays and drop ins. We are excited to start playing and having fun with your Fur-Baby. We have a fenced yard and a fur-baby of our own named Morena. She is a sweet dog but is aggressive when it comes to female dogs and cats. We want your fur-babies safe and comfortable and that's why is best for us not to care for your fur-baby in our home and not be put in harms way. We are very protective and cautious when it comes to our and other people's fur-babies.

“Lizet was wonderful with bear. She gives you updates and photos/ videos on your pet which it really appreciative of. She treats your pets like they were her own. Bear felt comfortable with lizet and you can tell she enjoyed her stay with lizet. Bear found her forever sitter and new friends 😁💙”
“Such a pleasant family and a wonderful first experience with Rover! Laura and Brian were so lovely and helpful explaining the process to us and taking our pups in. We really appreciated the daily updates and photos; you could tell the dogs were well cared for. Many thanks to Laura and Brian!”
“My dogs loved it there so much they didn't want to leave lmao. It was like a vacation for them! Also our little dog is usually noisy and a bit of a brat but apparently gave no trouble haha. Thank you Kat and Earl! Can I give 100 stars?!”
“Absolutely Wonderful Dog Sitter! I cannot say enough good things about our experience. My senior dog was in the best hands for 5 days, and I felt completely at ease the entire time. She provided exceptional care, patience, and attention to all his needs from his medication schedule to his feeding schedule . She sent regular updates and pictures, which meant the world to me, and I could tell my dog felt safe, loved, and truly cared for. When I picked him up, he looked relaxed and happy, exactly what every dog parent hopes for. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely passionate about animals, look no further. I would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend! 🐶💛”
“Alexis and Melisa have watched my dogs three times now and they are fantastic. They send regular updates and my pups are made to feel right at home. Well cared for and loved. I am so thankful. Highly highly recommend. I have already booked my next stay!”
“I had such a wonderful experience with Renata while she took care of my rescue dog during a recent long family trip. I feel so lucky to have found Renata and highly recommend her. She has such a deep knowledge and true love of dogs. Her daily updates and pictures of our dog gave us so much comfort and relief while we were away. I could see that my dog was really having fun playing with Renata’s dogs, taking walks in the park or neighborhood and getting lots of loving cuddles and belly rubs. Renata and her family took such good care of our dog. She took her in like one of her own and I am beyond grateful.”
“Lillybeth & her family were great! It was our first time leaving our "COVID" puppy overnight with someone outside of our family, so we were a bit worried initially. Lillybeth kept us updated with photos and reassured us that they were doing great. She was also very communicative and quick to respond. Our dogs came back happy and tired, so I'm sure they had a wonderful time. Thank you Lillybeth!”
“Candy is an excellent dog sitter. She's patient, kind, and loving with what she does. We are her return clients. Even though her Cleo is not feeling well, she didn't cancel our booking and was able to take good care of our Cookie. Thank you, Candy! Hope Cleo recovers soon.”
“Karn and his wife were great! We had never left our dogs with anyone outside of family before. Needless to say we were anxious. Especially because one of our dogs was still in a cone the week he stayed with them and needed medication. They made sure he got the meds and attention he needed. They sent photo updates and overall made our trip less stressful. We will definitely use them next time we have to travel.”
“Annabelle and Ben are incredibly kind and professional. I had them watch my dog, Dante, for five days while I went out of town. I highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for a safe, fun, and loving environment for their dog. They welcomed Dante, who is not used to being away from the family, into their home and treated him as if he was their own. They even allowed Dante to sleep in their bedroom and relax on their living room couch. Annabelle and Ben have a large fenced-in yard where Dante was free to hang out and play with their very sweet pup Ranger. Dante also enjoyed fetching softballs from their kids and taking walks around their neighborhood. Annabelle and Ben were incredibly professional throughout the whole process. Annabelle invited me over for a meet and greet before booking and sent pictures daily while I was away. I could tell from the photos that Dante was very well taken care of. Dante came home calm and happy which is a true testament to the expert care that Annabelle and Ben provided. I will definitely use them again. In fact, I will be bringing Dante back in a few weeks!”
“First time using rover and I don’t really know how my dog would react with other sitter. I was pretty amazed how my dog got along pretty quickly with James. Definitely would recommend James for any pet sitting. He keeps you updated with everything throughout the whole day. For sure I’ll be coming back again here with James. Thanks James!”
“Kenzie took great care of our pup and we love the fact that she has a backyard for our dog to run around in. Our dog loves to play fetch and run, so Kenzie being able to accommodate our dog's needs was wonderful. We'll definitely be reaching out to Kenzie in the future.”
“Our nonprofit, Military Animal Project, has used Armando twice now for Veterans. We are serving. Armando is easy to work with, very responsive, and when possible Armando can even accommodate some personal requests for the Veterans. Working with Armando through rover.com has made it possible for us to respond immediately to a veteran in crisis and immediately assist their pets in need.. We will continue to reach out to Armando and we appreciate his efforts to assist us with our veterans.”
“Christine and Alejandro are wonderful people and were just as wonderful with our 2 pups. One of our dogs is very anxious and they really understood that and were patient and got to know her quirks even in a short period of time. They also gave constructive feedback on what training would help her for future stays, which we really appreciated. Our dogs were clearly well cared for and the pictures sent daily showed this, which meant we could enjoy our vacation without worrying about them. We highly recommend Christine and Alejandro"s dog resort!”
“Great experience. Great place. My dog seemed happy and playful after leaving there. I am sure he had a good time. I received pictures throughout the day of him and what he was doing.”
“Ashton and Jay were amazing with our normally anxious Chihuahua mix, Rosie. They came for an in home visit on their own time to meet her and put her at ease, were clear about what to bring to their place to make her more comfortable, and then at drop off were completely focused and engaged with her to make her first moments playful and fun. They gave daily updates with photos and then when we had a family emergency, were even kind enough to accommodate last minute extensions and changes to the reservation. We would 100% board Rosie with them again. She had so much fun and Ashton and Jay were genuinely sad to see her go on the last day. Thank you Ashton and Jay!”
“Nicole & Michael are incredible!!! They took my very last minute booking & request for an early morning drop-off time. Tons of pictures and updates throughout the day, and they definitely know what they’re doing! My pup has a ridiculous amount of energy and they were able to tire him out with no complaints. Definitely the type of sitters who you’ll want to rebook with, no question!!”
“Alina was so wonderful. Our regular dogsitter had to cancel on us last minute. Alina came to the rescue and watched our dog for a 4 night stay. We were nervous to leave our senior dog (who has some special needs) with a brand new person. Usually we book an initial one-night stay with a sitter before doing anything more than 24 hours. It turns out we had nothing to be worried about. Alina checked in with us regularly and had very accurate descriptions of how our dog Bedu was settling in. By the end of her stay Bedu was in love. We brought home a very happy pup who was so well looked after, I can happily say she also had a little vacation herself. Alina’s residence is right next door to Petco, which was very convenient for us as we had forgotten to pack some supplies and stopped there on the way.”
“Cooper was very well taken care of and made himself at home with Lenny. A lot of peace of mind when you have someone like Lenny and family taking care of our pup.”
