“Katherine was amazing!! She treated my dogs like they were her own. She dressed them up for Christmas. She even gave them a goody bag! She went above and beyond. I couldn’t thank her enough.”
“Alena has assisted us with our furry baby twice, and I must say, she has been incredibly helpful and responsive. Whenever I ask about our furry baby, she promptly sends me pictures. I can confidently trust her with our baby every time. Thank you so much! 😊”
“Thank you, Yoshi, for taking great care of my Junior! I am so happy I found you and I don’t have to worry about anything when I need a boarding place and loving hoooman for my girl 👍❤️🐶”
“Amanda was very communicative and sent pictures and videos throughout our trip. Our pup was well-cared for and came home happy (and very tired - in a good way!). Would definitely recommend. :)”
“Chelsea was absolutely great! I was a bit nervous at first but once I met with her things changed. She updated me daily with pictures & videos. Onyx was so happy she didn’t even wanna come back home. Would recommend!!, professional, kind, knowledgeable & her response time was great. Thanks again!”
“We are very thankful for Kara and her family for loving our dog, Elvis, as their own. He loves their home— which is evident by the aggressive tail-wagging when we pull into their driveway. :) Great family”
“Kodi took a very good care of our dog Barley. He got lots of pets and cuddles. She provided daily updates and was very responsive to my texts. Barley looked very happy in all the pictures and when we picked him up, it was clear he was well taken care of and had a great time!”
“Allen was awesome. We would leave happy with him anytime. We will definitely be booking him in another month or so when we go on another trip give us daily updates and happy was extremely happy when I came to pick him up.”
“Our girls loved their time with Huina and we loved all the updates. They were there for only the day, but we still got 3 updates including small videos of them playing, eating and exploring and photos of them comfy on the couch. This was our first rover experience where we were met outside by our car for drop off/pick up. Usually, we at least drop them at the door, but all the updates of them put our anxieties at ease.”
“Not only was this my first time using rover but it was also my pups first time away from home. Knowing my dog, I was worried he would drive Erika and her pup wild. Within a short time, I received a text from Erika saying he's settled now. I imagined him running and jumping all over the place but then a picture followed with him laying with a big ol smile on his face. After that I had zero worries and now my trip has been great and enjoyable. If she can handle my german shepherd I think she will do great with your furry friend.”
“Phyllis is the absolute best! I felt comfortable and relieved that she was able to watch over my pup.! I know my pup was in safe hands with her. Shes very personable, and goes the extra mile to make my pup feel at home. Thank you Phyllis!! You're Bellas favorite!”
“Edith was wonderful! The boarding request was last minute and she graciously accepted the booking. Lucy was well cared for during her stay. Edith even washed Lucy’s bed before I picked her up. Thank you!”
“Emily was fantastic!! Great communication and daily updates on our doggie. She took great care to help us feel comfortable and to take care of Sunny. She made sure Sunny was safe and loved and got plenty of attention. We would highly recommend her and look forward to using her again!”
“Darryl & Janice went above and beyond, truly exceeded expectations! This was our first time ever leaving our dogs with someone and our first time using Rover. They took the time to explain to us how it worked, reassured us with our concerns, they were patient and understanding! But the cherry on top that made this experience AMAZING was the report cards, certificates and bow ties they gave Zeus and Boo! They made this experience feel like they were staying at grandma and grandpas house and were spoiled! Thank you for your kindness and caring for our babies we will absolutely be returning!”
“Alma was fantastic at communicating with us as this was our first leaving our pup and he had a rough transition. She did everything to try and calm our anxious pup, she made sure to keep me updated on how he was doing throughout the day. Very thankful, and would highly recommend.”
“Vanja was amazing and my Bentley was so comfortable that she ate her kibble. Bentley never eats with the sitter until she cannot take it any longer, which is about three days. On a three day trip, she ate after the first day which is unheard of. Vanja created a wonderful space for her to feel comfortable and enjoy. Vanja is kind, patient and a true professional, we would love to use her again.”
“Patti is everything you want in a sitter: responsible, kind, playful, loving, affectionate, and fun! She takes amazing care of our dog and I trust her deeply. She takes a lot of photos and sends constant updates. I highly recommend her!”

“Chelsea was absolutely great! I was a bit nervous at first but once I met with her things changed. She updated me daily with pictures & videos. Onyx was so happy she didn’t even wanna come back home. Would recommend!!, professional, kind, knowledgeable & her response time was great. Thanks again!”
“Good pricing and friendly walker. Communication could have been better since it’s not possible to do report card due to the lack of self service in my area. I will be more communicative with walkers in the future that I need pee and poop reports.”
About: In my experience cats have always been friendly to me, ive never had bad experiences, I play with friends and families cats all the time I also babysit my neighbors cat all the time, I also used to own a couple of cats and used to have an occurring stray family that loved my company.
“Erika took excellent care of our cat TeeterBob while we were away and we will definitely book her again for our next trip! We were so comforted knowing she was caring for our buddy which made our trip less stressful and more relaxing....”
“I cannot begin to express my gratitude to Sahula (Rebecca) for the outstanding job she did for watching my kitties. She kept me posted with messages, pictures & videos throughout the day. I didn’t worry about them once while we were away. She even stayed later than originally scheduled due to our flight being delayed. When we returned, we found the house more organized and cleaner than when we left! I am praying she’s still available next year because after this experience, I don’t want anyone else watching them! Thank you Rebecca! I honestly can’t thank you enough!”
About: I have two cats, one female orange tabby, about three years old. And I have a male tuxedo cat, who is also three years old. They are both so much fun, I love to play with them, and they love to cuddle. My sister also has a cat that I watch and care for often.
About: I’m a dog mom of two chihuahuas, although I love cats as well! I’ve had my first fur baby since I was 11, the other for a little over a year ago. I love taking them on adventures, pampering them, & of course giving them all the love! I can assure you, your fur babies are safe with me. I work weekends to make ends meet for school! I’m currently attending Paul Mitchell The School in Temecula 3 days a week (wed-friday). I am available for pet sitting after school/work as well as my days off (monday & tuesday). I am very attentive & will make sure any needs will be met for your fur baby! I’m very good at following instructions. I look forward to pet sitting for you:)
“Ivy took wonderful care of our cat while we were gone for the weekend! He needs particularly difficult care right now and she handled it so well, and sent us extremely detailed and thorough updates while we were away. We will definitely book her again for future trips!”
About: An animal and nature lover at heart, I am eager to spend time with dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, or any other pets you may have. I have experience with obedience training, grooming, as well as administering medications and meeting special dietary needs. Personally, I have a wonderful, smart and energetic Border Collie/Aussie mix who loves making new friends. We both enjoy playing fetch and tug, learning new tricks and practicing our commands to earn treats. Please let me know how I can help to keep your non-human family member safe, loved, and entertained! I am self-employed and generally have a very flexible schedule. I do often spend stretches of time out of town (mainly LA and Bay Area), so I appreciate scheduling gigs a bit in advance so I can plan accordingly. No one knows your pet better than you, so I will always defer to your lead as to what your pet needs and prefers. That being said, depending on what level of care you desire for your pet, I am happy and comfortable to take dogs for walks or to dog parks, play fetch or hide and seek, practice commands, and give all the belly rubs that they can stand. If you prefer they sleep in a crate, we can definitely manage that; or if they are like my pup and want to use me as a body pillow at night, I would be more that happy to oblige! Just let me know what you are comfortable with! If needed, I am also open to hosting pets at my home (with fenced in yard).
About: I have worked with Shelter Animals in care, feeding, washing & adoptions to safe & loving homes. In association with the West LA Animal Shelter. Open Availability. I live on the mountain.Flexible Scheduling Available. Monday - Saturday anytime after 8am-before sundown. Overnight sitting/House sitting Mon-Sat. Sundays(please schedule 1 week in advance.) I have experience in proper handling of animals from working with an animal adoption agency. I would be happy to accommodate your animal according to their specific schedule or needs as requested.
“Chad and Franchesca were amazing at looking after our two indoor house cats whilst we were away for over 2 weeks! They took care of everything from food, water, litter tray, and even playing with them each day. They also took our trash out to be collected each week, and navigated heavy snow to come to our home. They gave detailed daily reports and photos, which was great to receive every day to know the cats were doing well. They responded to messages very promptly. We 100% recommend them and would definitely use them again!”
About: I have been taking care of my own dog/cat for over 10 years now. I am nurturing, patient, kind & ready & willing to work hard & prove my care to your pet/s at any time! I am currently only in school part time online. I have free time everyday during the week as long as I get a heads up! I have a fenced in yard, grass, play areas. I can accommodate your pet with the same safety measures that I use for my pets as well.
About: Your pup will always be in my company, since I’m always at home. Lots of outside time and walks through my neighborhood’s local forest trail. Your dog(s) will have their own space in my kitchen, separate from my dog’s personal space. I am a responsible homeschooling mother of an easy-going, 6 year old daughter ( she loves animals). I am a ‘Stay at Home’ Mom, currently homeschooling my 6 year old daughter through a fantastic charter school. I make my own schedule and can easily accommodate your pet’s schedule into my own. My daughter is very well-behaved, with an easy going disposition, which makes animals love her. My husband also loves all animals, but will not be care-taking for your animals, as he is works full time. I will be the full-time caretaker of your beloved fur-friends. I have 2 portions to my property . One side is fenced on a hillside with a small astro-turfed area for potty breaks. The other side is open with a small water fall and full Astro turf. This gives dogs lots of time outside. I will also keep your dog in the kitchen, where I spend the majority of my time cooking and teaching my daughter kindergarten + computer work at the kitchen table. Your pup will also enjoy the walks around the neighborhood, which includes a lot of trees and nature.
“Elma have s wonderful in that she is attentive to all details of care. She always shows up on time and creates friendly bonding with the animals, being very patient and loving to my cat.”

“Vanja is wonderful! We were in the area for the weekend and wanted to make sure our guy had some company while we went on a day long outing. Vanja has a great energy and made us feel comfortable right away. She was also super responsive and gave us updates throughout the time we were away. Highly recommend!”
“We had the best experience with Josh. Not only did we get updates and pictures through the day, Josh even updated me on how she did in the crate. Beautiful property, with so much space for playtime. Josh cares for your pet as if they were his own. We can't say enough about how great the day was. You won't go wrong having your baby stay with Josh! PS your pup is going to sleep like a log after a day with Josh.”
“Maggie came home happy and tired from playing all evening. Kathy was quite understanding when we had a bit of an emergency that caused us to return later than expected.”
“Alexis was an absolutely amazing caretaker I would 100% book with her again and probably will do so in the near future. The amount of care, dedication and attention left me feeling so relieved that my two pups were in great hands even if one of my pups was a bit skittish and had boundaries with strangers it was clear he was able to relax in her home. She took plenty of pictures and her notes were so detailed I felt completely sure that they were having a great time. They had plenty of long walk’s, enrichment activities and made sure they were fed well and full. Its clear she has a great skill set that allows her to understand dog behavior exceptionally that makes her perfect for taking care of your pups, I was able to learn even more about my pups during their stay with Alexis. Cant recommend enough!”

“Angela was great I had a birthday trip all planed out but I forgot one key thing and that was I had yet to find a doggie sitter for my German Shepard charlie. She was pretty quick to responded and was able to take care of my big baby boy for the day. Her house was very nice and had a decent size yard.what was really fantastic was that I got pictures of Charlie throughout the day which reassured me that not only was I having a great time but so was my dog.

About: I have had dogs of my own my entire life, and have always had one in my 36 years of life. I love and care for all dogs. Your dog will be loved and well taken care of not only by me but my whole family. I have 2 goldendoodles that I got as puppies and potty trained them as well as taught them basic commands. I do not allow pets outside, even my fenced yard, without me outside with them. We never have visitors so an opened gate will never be a problem, because our gates are always shut. Your animals will be loved as if it were one of our own. If an overnight stay and they are used to sleeping with a human, myself or my child will be more than happy to comfort them throughout the night. They will be so spoiled, loved, and extremely well taken care of. I work less than part-time from home. I am always available and can fit in your pets needs at any time. Your pet will fit right into my daily life. I have a fenced in yard, and your animal will not be allowed outside at any time alone, I will always be with them for potty time. I have 2 goldendoodles of my own, who are extremetly shy and skittish of people, but love other dogs. I can crate your animal if you prefer, but they are also free to roam around and be loved on. If your pets prefer not to be around other pets, I can block off part of my home so my dogs are separated from yours.
“My puppy is learning so much at Maribel's. She puts in a lot of effort in not only taking care of him during the day but also trains him to be a good, well behaved dog. My puppy gets plenty of exercise, training and play time with Maribel and her dogs. She is also very flexible with drop off and pick up times. Thank you Maribel!! We appreciate you!”
About: Hi! I’ve been caring for dogs for over 3 years and treat every pup like family. I’m experienced with females in heat, regular potty routines, and providing a balance of indoor comfort and outdoor playtime. I’m home full-time Monday–Friday and provide constant supervision. I only step out briefly (about 15 minutes) for school drop-offs and pick-ups, and I monitor pets during that time with a Furbo camera. Weekend boarding is available with advance notice! My home is cage-free with supervised free roam, but I’m happy to accommodate crates or specific care needs if that’s what your dog is used to. I also offer baths during their stay if needed. I have two friendly female Frenchies who love making new playmates, and I can also keep dogs separated if preferred. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my priority!

About: I love all kinds of dogs, little wild ones, big slow ones, big sporty ones. They just crack me up. I will treat your pet with the utmost love and care at all times and be communicative with you about any changes in behavior, possible issues. I've had dogs my whole life and have been doing urban pet care for almost 10 years. I clarify, cause farm dogs are a totally different animal and I wouldn't ever even try to leash one. Ha!! I look forward to hearing from you. -Kristy Most of my experience has been with my own pets. I've had cats or dogs (usually both) my entire life. Growing up on a farm they get into all kinds of trouble and frequently need special attention. I also frequently pet sit for friends, neighbors and former employers. I'm very responsible and will care for your pet as you request. No treats unless you say so and no sofa time unless that's ok with you. Why I love dog sitting I've loved dogs since I was a kid. I've always had animals in my life. Dogs, cats, chickens, a calf I bottle fed, horses... need I go on. Most of my dogs have been in the 60lb range. So I'm used to holding my ground and handling them when they get excited. Since I've been in LA, I have been a surrogate parent to my friend's dogs, but have had my cats Doodie (now with my ex) and Harris (my little southern girl). I also have a special gift for catching "runaway" pets when their owners can't. My experience administering medication Yes. I'm a master of the blow in the face to make them swallow their pills trick. I have also given shots before to a diabetic weenie dog.
About: Hello my furry friend lovers!! I have cared for many different kinds of animals in my life, some of which include dogs,cats,birds,mice,rabbits,guinea pigs,fish,snakes,goats,chickens and now pot belly pigs. We love making homemade treats in our house so I am currently taking some pet nutrition classes to safely make special dietary treats. I am comfortable with all ages and sizes. I would be more than happy to meet you before any final decisions are made so that we can discuss everything there is to know about your pet. I have experience with different illnesses and medications from working with a rescue where I adopted my own angel with a neurological disorder. We absolutely adore pets and I can promise you that you and your baby will be treated like family. I am a stay at home wife that is taking pet nutrition and business classes so I could someday open my own pet boutique where everything is homemade. I promise no potty breaks will be missed and your baby gets all the love and cuddles they can handle. 😊 We have dogs, cats and pot belly pigs for your pet to play with in our fenced yard but we also have big crates for separation if needed. Your baby will be allowed on our furniture to sleep and get cuddles unless you say otherwise lol we do love our snuggles.
About: Growing up in South Africa, going on safari was a significant part of my culture, and my love for animals has been ingrained in me from a young age. After the loss of my beloved 20-year-old cat, I found joy in walking and playing with a neighbor's Husky, helping to fill that void. Currently, I don't have any pets of my own, so your furry friend will be my top priority and cherished companion until you return. I moved to the mountains five years ago and work primarily from home, allowing me to provide plenty of attention and care. I am very hands-on, with a wealth of love to give, and I have a natural knack for connecting with animals. My cat used to snuggle with me every night, and I can't wait to welcome more little fur-balls into my life to cuddle. My standard nightly rate includes up to 2 pets. In addition to my passion for animals, I have completed a cat and dog CPR certification course through the Red Cross, ensuring that I am prepared for unexpected situations that may arise. I also hold my own liability insurance underwritten by Lloyds of London, separate from Rover's insurance, giving you peace of mind while your pet is in my care. Furthermore, I have successfully passed an enhanced background check by a third-party provider. Animals are my passion, and I feel incredibly grateful to live in the mountains, surrounded by all the beautiful wildlife. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member/s! Pets need love, security and re-assurance when their human parents are on vacation. That is why I prefer to house sit. I can also just drop in for feedings and walks if you are more comfortable with that. I will treat your fur babies with love and respect and give them lots of play and cuddle time! Your wish is my command and I will follow any special instructions or routines you may have.
About: I provide boutique dog boarding & daycare at my beautiful and comfy home in San Bernardino, I have a completely fenced yard with gate with plenty room for them to run around and play. I work from home so they get a lot of attention. I'm walking distance to the dog park as well! My main goal is to make sure that you don't stress one bit while your pets are in my care. I'm an animal and people person. I will happily feed, administer medication if needed, walk/run per your request, hang, snuggle and play games with your animal baby. I will also brush your dog at least once a day unless they absolutely hate it ;). I am super active and loving person, and will do everything I can to take care of your pets as if they were my own. My partner and I both work from home so they will receive a lot of love and attention. I work From home so they get lots of love and attention. My husband also Works from home so I have help. They will be well cared for. Thank Our yard is fully fenced. We also don’t have a dog door so they can’t escape. They have the ability to hang anywhere in the house with us.
“Vanya did an absolutely wonderful job taking our two Chihuahua mixes out for daily walks while we were out of town. We happened to be home when she got back from the final walk. Our two pups gave her lots of snuggles and kisses before she left. What more could you want from a dog walker!”
“Karina was great. We got updates on all of our dog Calvin's walks, and pictures were great to have too. Calvin has a new friend and Karina definitely spoiled him with longer walks and attention. Calvin can be a bit anxious but took to Karina right away. It was comforting to know that we could count on her to take Calvin out at the prescribed times and didn't have to worry. This was Calvin's first time with a dog walker (he used to go to a pet boarding facility) and we felt he would be more comfortable staying in his own home - with Karina's help, that turned out to be just the right thing to do! In the future, we'll definitely use Karina whenever she's available!”

“Katherine was amazing!! She treated my dogs like they were her own. She dressed them up for Christmas. She even gave them a goody bag! She went above and beyond. I couldn’t thank her enough.”
“Thank you, Yoshi, for taking great care of my Junior! I am so happy I found you and I don’t have to worry about anything when I need a boarding place and loving hoooman for my girl 👍❤️🐶”
“Chelsea was absolutely great! I was a bit nervous at first but once I met with her things changed. She updated me daily with pictures & videos. Onyx was so happy she didn’t even wanna come back home. Would recommend!!, professional, kind, knowledgeable & her response time was great. Thanks again!”
“We are very thankful for Kara and her family for loving our dog, Elvis, as their own. He loves their home— which is evident by the aggressive tail-wagging when we pull into their driveway. :) Great family”
“Allen was awesome. We would leave happy with him anytime. We will definitely be booking him in another month or so when we go on another trip give us daily updates and happy was extremely happy when I came to pick him up.”
“Our girls loved their time with Huina and we loved all the updates. They were there for only the day, but we still got 3 updates including small videos of them playing, eating and exploring and photos of them comfy on the couch. This was our first rover experience where we were met outside by our car for drop off/pick up. Usually, we at least drop them at the door, but all the updates of them put our anxieties at ease.”
“Not only was this my first time using rover but it was also my pups first time away from home. Knowing my dog, I was worried he would drive Erika and her pup wild. Within a short time, I received a text from Erika saying he's settled now. I imagined him running and jumping all over the place but then a picture followed with him laying with a big ol smile on his face. After that I had zero worries and now my trip has been great and enjoyable. If she can handle my german shepherd I think she will do great with your furry friend.”
“Emily was fantastic!! Great communication and daily updates on our doggie. She took great care to help us feel comfortable and to take care of Sunny. She made sure Sunny was safe and loved and got plenty of attention. We would highly recommend her and look forward to using her again!”
“Darryl & Janice went above and beyond, truly exceeded expectations! This was our first time ever leaving our dogs with someone and our first time using Rover. They took the time to explain to us how it worked, reassured us with our concerns, they were patient and understanding! But the cherry on top that made this experience AMAZING was the report cards, certificates and bow ties they gave Zeus and Boo! They made this experience feel like they were staying at grandma and grandpas house and were spoiled! Thank you for your kindness and caring for our babies we will absolutely be returning!”
“Vanja was amazing and my Bentley was so comfortable that she ate her kibble. Bentley never eats with the sitter until she cannot take it any longer, which is about three days. On a three day trip, she ate after the first day which is unheard of. Vanja created a wonderful space for her to feel comfortable and enjoy. Vanja is kind, patient and a true professional, we would love to use her again.”
“Chelsea was absolutely wonderful. Great communication, knowledgeable, and overall a great person. She made me feel very comfortable with my decision from the get go and she asked many questions to make sure she knew everything about how we take care of our 4 month old puppy Nova. She helped us maintain training with Nova and gave great advice and tips to make the our training journey smoother. She sent many videos and pictures while we were gone. Nova was as happy as could be and well taken care of. I highly recommend Chelsea if you are looking for someone who truly loves dogs in all aspects!”
“First off, April likes to go by Autumn. She was a great sitter for our doggies and I felt confident they would be watched with great care. She is very professional and careful in her daily schedule. She's been professionally training dogs for years as well, so there's that bonus! We will use her again for sure! Thank you Autumn!”
“Sahula, was great.She made me feel very confident when I was leaving my dog Kylie with her. This was the first time I used this service and I was glad I found her, thank you.”
“I was very happy with Kimberly. Our dog was very scared and not on his best behavior on Day 1. Kimberly reached out for advice instead of giving up. It worked! He calmed down and all went well from there! I appreciated her patience and resolve. She communicated during my trip and sent pictures which put my mind at ease. I recommend her and will definitely be a return customer!”
“We needed someone last minute after our plans fell through and they were able to take a Koda in and luckily their drop off and pick up times fit right with our schedule. They had no problems giving him his medicine and were in communication with us to make sure they were giving the proper dosage. We also received pictures during the stay which put us at ease about how the stay was going. Ariana and Alex were great!”
“Valerie was absolutely wonderful with my high-energy Aussie! She handled his energy and enthusiasm like a pro, kept him happy all day, and made sure he got plenty of playtime. I really appreciated the picture updates —it was so nice to see him having fun and being cared for so well. I would definitely recommend Valerie to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter!”
“Nathaniel did a splendid job caring for our dogs! He was very kind and responsive to all of my questions. Our dogs were happy when we picked them up. I will definitely use his services again.”
