“This was my first experience with leaving a dog with a sitter. Shadow is still in the puppy stage and Susie was very accommodating with pictures and updates. She will definitely be my go to sitter for the next time.”
“Just Amazing!!! Great communication, sent pictures of Loki during his stay, I’ve had some rough experiences with dog boarding companies and doggy day cares, but Kevin and his family restored my faith in dog boarding nothing is better than knowing he was being cared for and looked after while we were away thanks again!!! And we will be booking again 💯”
“Ilona was very calm and sweet at drop off. She took really good care of Choo Choo. She got him to eat which is quite a chore. She sent me pictures during his stay. I will definitely use her again.”
“My furry babies were well cared for. This was the first time I left my babies for more than a day and Chengcheng gave me peace of mind by sending periodic photos to let me know they were doing good and happy. Will definitely use her services again.”
“Thank you Nicole! Tia seemed to have an amazing time on her staycation, haha. Thank you for sending photos and keeping me updated. Feels good to know that Tia is in good hands.”
“I recently moved into town and didn’t know anyone who could take care of my dog, Koji, when I had to go on a business trip. Koji was initially hesitant about staying with Skylar, but she was incredibly understanding and kept me informed about his progress. She sent regular photos and daily updates, which made me feel so at ease knowing that he was in good hands. It was clear to me that Skylar truly cares about Koji's well-being. I would absolutely trust her with Koji again in the future and would be happy to bring him back to her if I ever need a dog sitter again.”
“Amorn and Adam were absolutely wonderful with my little Murphy. Just before my trip I found out she needed special care and they went above and beyond to make sure all her care instructions were followed. I also received lots of pics and constant updates during her stay, which was very nice and help put me at ease leaving her with a sitter. This was our first time using their services but will probably use again when needed. I recommend them for anyone who wants their pet to have all the care and attention. Also very good with communication, always very prompt in their replies. Highly recommend”
“How does one pick a dog sitter - the cost, the reviews etc. Well, for my pup’s first time boarding I studied my pup’s disposition at the meet & greet. She picked the sitter & space in which she’d feel comfortable & safe. Stacy & her family showered her with lots of attention & took care of my pup very well. So relieved to pick up a happy puppy 4 days later and know we found a wonderful sitter for the future.”
“Elton had a fantastic stay! 🖤 She kept me updated throughout the entire booking and sent lots of pictures and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear Elton was well cared for, comfortable, and getting lots of attention. I really appreciated her communication, kindness, and how attentive she was to his needs. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!”
“My dog had an amazing five-day vacation at Tiffany’s place! Tiffany took such great care of her and kept me updated with daily photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. We’re so grateful to have found her and will definitely be back next time!”
“If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! Ivy was able to take care of victor again last minute for me. She is always so attentive to victor and sends me constant updates which I love! I got pics of him playing with the kids, they always take the dogs with them if they go somewhere and he just looks so happy all the time when I leave him with her. Thank you so much again Ivy! Victor will definitely be seeing you guys again next time he needs a sitter ❤️”
“Robert and Fatima are awesome and trustworthy people. First time I met them, I can already tell that I can trust them with my dog and that they are real dog lovers. Throught my dog’s stay, Robert gave consistent updates and was able to see that my dog was happy. Will definitely book with them again.”
“Mae made my first time leaving my Frenchie with someone outside of family so easy and comforting. She and her family cared for her like their own and sent sweet updates throughout the weekend. I’m so grateful for Mae’s kindness and will definitely book with her again!”
“Areli was super kind and took great care of our dog Charlie! She sent us lots of photos and updates while he stayed with her. Definitely recommend her to anyone needing boarding for their pets 💖”
“Cynthia was a fantastic sitter! She sent me photos and videos of my dog while I was away and it was clear my dog loved her stay! Her and her family were all great and I would without a doubt book with Cynthia again!”
“AMAZING at her job. We had a situation where we needed our Uncles dog watched for 30 days and we found Melissa. She did an amazing job and even helped put Tiny on a diet. We felt very safe knowing Tiny was in good hands 🙌🏻 Highly recommend her !!!!!!!!”
“this is the third time tina watched our dog rocky and as usual, she took really good care of him!!! she is such a sweetheart!! tina makes sure rocky gets a lot of exercise and activities (puzzles, hide&seek games, fetch, etc). i can’t thank her enough for everything she did for my rocky!!!! i highly recommend her if you need a trustworthy sitter!”
“The only difficult part of writing this review is finding enough good things to say about Elena. Every interaction, from my first communication to picking up Puck after his stay, conveyed both a love of animals and professionalism. We met first in a local park for a meet and greet, where Elena and I chatted and her daughter played with Puck. I felt really comfortable with Elena’s easy manner and the questions she asked to ensure that Puck would be happy with them. I left in confidence when I dropped Puck off, and the photos she sent made it clear that Puck was happy and well cared for. Her daughter makes for a wonderful added bonus; Elena told me when I picked him up that her daughter made a fort for them, and it was clear in the pics that Puck received lots of play time with his favorite toys. When I picked up Puck after his stay, he was of course happy to see me, but not overcome with nervousness or anxiety. I could see that he felt safe and loved in Elena’s home. When I arrived home, he slipped right back into normal routines without needing decompression time. Thank you, Elena, for providing Puck with a warm and loving home-away-from-home.”
“So much appreciation for Laura & Brian, they always go above and beyond to help with my Arlo. Many many times I have had situations come up and they’re always willing to work with me. Grateful for them!”

“Amanda is awesome! She was very attentive and followed instructions precisely. She was also great at communicating every detail and asked for guidance whenever she faced an issue we hadn't addressed. I highly recommend her, and will use her again!”
About: I have had cats all my life and have experience with sitting for the cats of others as well. Currently I have 4 cats at home along with other animals, I enjoy caring for animals. I look forward to helping with your pet and all their needs!
“She was absolutely wonderful. Very sweet, and tentative to our animals. We feel that she went above and beyond. Would definitely recommend her services. And we will definitely use her in the future.”
“Perla was a fantastic pet sitter. I was gone for a week, and she took excellent care of my four cats. The communication was great, and she kept me posted on the progress of my kitties daily. I highly recommend her services to anyone who needs pet care.”
About: I've cared for cats of all ages, from playful kittens to senior cats who need a little extra patience and attention. I have two cats of my own, so I'm very familiar with their unique personalities, routines, and needs. Whether it's feeding, administering basic care, cleaning litter boxes, playtime, or simply keeping them company, I always make sure cats feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I understand that every cat is different, and I'm happy to adapt to their individual preferences and routines.
About: I have 2 wonderful dogs myself so I understand wanting the best for your little friends. When it comes to caring for a pet it is very important that they be comfortable and have trust with the carer. I can provide a gentle touch like no other to make your furry friends feel loved and safe while you are away. For pet/house sitting it is best to meet before hand to make sure that the animal understands that you trust me so it's okay for them to trust me as well. I can provide as many walks and potty breaks and the dogs need to be comfortable. I do require 24 hours notice for all cancellations. Walks start at 30 minutes per walk at $10 a walk for non holidays
About: Coming from Colorado, I’ve been in pet services for almost two years and love it! I first started dog walking services in 2021 to close friends and family and then decided to work at a local doggy daycare/ boarding company called ULD, here I opened myself up to so many new things and grew my love for animals. I am skilled in pet bathing, pet walking, pet sitting, giving medical needs and much more. I am very flexible and will be willing to do anything I can to work out a great schedule that is right for both you and your pet I treat them with unconditional love, respect and will do what’s best for their needs. I want to make sure they have a safe home and live a healthy life.
About: I absolutely love cats they’ve held a special place in my heart for as long as I can remember. I rescued my own kitty when she was just 2 weeks old and bottle-fed her until she grew into a healthy, happy cat. That experience taught me patience, gentleness, and just how special the bond between human and feline can be. Cats are the best funny, playful, loving little companions and I treat every one I care for with the same affection and attention I give my own.
“Trinity was thoughtful, considerate of our home and dogs, and did an absolutely wonderful job communicating and meeting our needs as dog owners while also nurturing our pups. She truly went above and beyond by leaving our home looking neat and giving our dogs excellent care. I especially appreciated all the photos and videos she shared. We have officially found our dog sitter!”
About: What sets me apart is real, hands-on experience with dogs that many sitters never encounter. I own Apollo, a pit-mix with high reactivity, and have worked through his training alongside a professional trainer as well as through my own dedicated research and practice. That process taught me how to read canine body language, manage triggers, and stay calm and consistent under pressure; skills that directly benefit any dog in my care. I also share my home with Thalia, a high-energy husky, so I know exactly what it takes to keep a high-drive dog mentally and physically stimulated. Beyond my own pets, I've built real experience pet sitting dogs and cats for family and friends, sometimes for days or weeks at a time, handling daily visits and routines solo. I'm comfortable with dogs, cats, and other pets, and I bring the same patience and attentiveness to every animal regardless of size, breed, or temperament. Pet care has always been a natural part of my life. I grew up with pets and currently have my own, so caring for animals isn't just a service I offer, it's something I genuinely love. As an online student working toward my Bachelor's degree, I have the flexibility to be present throughout the day, whether that's a midmorning walk, an afternoon drop-in, or a multi-day house sit. Because my coursework is self-paced, your pet always gets my full focus. I structure my day around the pets in my care, not the other way around. My priority is keeping your pet's world as normal as possible while you're away. I follow their established routine closely: feeding times, walk schedules, and any specific habits you share with me. Consistency is what keeps animals calm and comfortable. Every visit includes food, water, exercise, and real quality time, not just a quick check-in. You can expect photo updates after every visit so you always know how things are going. I'm comfortable with dogs, cats, and other pets, and I adapt to what each individual animal needs.
“Kristine is very professional working with our dog. She was gentle and careing and our dog became very close to her. Kristine was always attentive and on time. She was a blessing when I had an extended business meeting she was able to return and cover for me. In the future I would recommend hiring her again.thank you.”
“Alyssa was wonderful taking care of our Cat, Jasper. Would absolutely recommend her. She is very kind and attentive to Jaspers needs. Was so happy to be able to leave him in good hands to go on vacation!”
About: I’ve been caring for cats for years and have been the primary caregiver for a tabby over the past four years. Through that experience, I’ve learned that every cat has a unique personality and routine. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, fresh water, litter box maintenance, playtime, administering oral medications if needed, and giving cats the patience and space they need to feel comfortable. Whether your cat is social or prefers a quiet companion, I’ll provide attentive, dependable care and keep you updated with photos and messages while you’re away.
About: I have fostered and housed many kitties in need and found them great homes, I’m a kitty girl and I love them so much! I have 3 kitties of my own and I’m always the number one person my family and friends will call to come baby sit their animals ever since I was 15 :)
“Shannon took wonderful care of our cats while we were out of town. She was kind and calm, which made them feel comfortable immediately. Especially the more nervous one! She was receptive every time we reached out and always sent us sweet pictures so we knew our fur babies were happy and healthy. We will definitely book with her next time we go out of town!”
“My husband and I hired Kimberly a second time for an entire week while we were traveling. I knew from the first time that my 2 cats would be in excellent hands. She came twice a day to clean the litter, feed them, and make sure they had fresh water. She was also kind enough to bring in the mail, take out the trash on “trash” day and wash all the cat dishes so we didn’t come home to a mess. Her service was impeccable. Her daughter was with her which made my cats even a little more spoiled by the extra attention they received. Please don’t hesitate to hire Kimberly. We highly recommend her and will reach out again for any future travel needs.”

About: Hello! My name is Ana! I can help with boarding, day care and dog training (basic obedience, behavioral modification, socialization, potty training, desensitization etc.) I love working with dogs and have been doing it for a long time. I live in a house with a lot of space for different activities. Whether your dog is crate trained, roams the house, has special needs or on medication I can adjust to your pup’s needs. I want to provide the best care for your animals while you’re away. You will receive plenty of picture updates and a happy pooch in the end. Please message me with any concerns or questions! Thank you! I work from home, therefore I have plenty of time dedicated to the pups staying in my care. I do dog sport competitions, so might not be available some weekends. Dogs are never left unattended! Temperaments are matched for play time and socialization. Overnight dogs stay in crates to ensure a calm and safe space for each pup.
“Chengcheng did an amazing job taking care of my dog while I was at work. She went on multiple walks, took her to the park, and even sent pictures of my babe throughout the day so I always knew what they were doing together. I highly recommend Chengcheng for any service she offers, you can rest assured your baby is in good hands.”
About: I have grown up with and have taken care of dogs since I was a child. My wife and I both love dogs and hope to meet yours! My wife and I both work full time from home. We are home during the day at minimum 90%. We have a house with no kids and no other pets. We can provide as much attention to your dog as needed! I have a small fenced private patio, 2 dog parks, and 2 large parks within walking distance.
About: I have always had animals since I was a kid and I have always loved them! I love their unconditional connection with us. I have senior dog care and medication administering experience. I am trying something new in my career path, which will hopefully include your pet. I want to work with animals more and turn it into a career. I can't wait to get my steps in with your pet! I have an open schedule at this time. I'm looking to fill my week with regular walks, visits, and boarding. I have three daughters. My oldest actually works as a pet bather with Petsmart and my two younger daughters love animals as much as I do......I've been told by my oldest that I'm not allowed at the animals shelter anymore. 🤣🤣🤣 I live in a mobile home with a fenced yard. I have four of my own fur babies that are welcoming to new visitors. Depending on weather we may go for walks at the park and visit the dog park or play in the backyard or even the house with toys. But as long as it's not too hot or raining we hit the park and dog park.
About: I love dogs. I love animals in general but preferably dogs. I’ve worked at a dog grooming place for a year and I learned so much about dogs and the proper care they need. If I took care of someone else’s dogs I know for sure they’d be happy and safe in my house and neighborhood. I have a dog myself, I love him with all my heart and hope I can share my love towards anyone else’s dogs. My dog loves playing with other dogs so I know he’d get along with anyone else’s dog. I can even take all the dogs I’m taking care of to a dog park, a regular park, play fetch, give belly scratches, etc. And just give the love a dog needs. I am available all day and everyday. I would have time to babysit, walk, feed and do all that good stuff for your pup! ! I have a dog park near my house, and would gladly love to take anyone’s pup there and play fetch, run around with them or even introduce them to my pup.
“Laura and Brian were very kind and accommodating. Laura sent frequent updates and pictures which were very appreciated. I would definitely use their services again and highly recommend them to anyone”
About: I am certified dog trainer. I have 10 years of pet sitting/dog walking experience. I specialize in care for puppies, senior dogs, large breeds, and anxious dogs. I understand canine behavior and focus on keeping walks safe, structured, and positive. I’m also comfortable administering medication when needed. I have helped during puppy labor and delivery and am able to stay calm and clear minded through high pressure situations. I’ve been around dogs my whole life and started dog walking at 10 years old. I’m calm, patient, reliable, and always send photo updates so you can feel confident while you’re away. As a college student with a flexible schedule, I’m able to provide dog walks and drop-ins throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, and weekends. I plan my schedule carefully to ensure each pet receives dedicated attention, consistency, and reliable care. Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I pay close attention to body language and behavior to ensure every walk and visit is safe and positive. During drop-ins, I follow all care instructions carefully, keep routines consistent, and make sure doors, gates, and crates are properly secured before leaving. I always provide photo updates so you can feel confident and at ease while you’re away.
“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.”
About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs of all kinds for years. My family and friends rely on me for their pet’s care and my veterinary experience gives me confidence in identifying issues and brainstorming solutions. I have open availability Monday through Friday, and am open to weekends depending on client needs. I work from home and therefore am flexible with scheduling. I can’t wait to meet your kiddos! I have a lovely home that I share with my husband, our 2 boys, and our pup, and I am open to visiting pets at client homes as well depending on what is more comfortable for the pet and their family!
“Sarah took great care of my pup and was so nice too! She really went above and beyond to make her comfortable. If I'm in the area again, I will definitely bring my pup back. Thank you, Sarah!”
“We needed a dog sitter asap while we got our kitchen demolished for renovation. Our 9 month old Shepherd mix had a great time. He played with her dog, he was walked and he took naps throughout the day. I was updated with pictures and videos. It assured our family to know he was in good hands. Thank you so much Elena ❤️ Look forward to bringing our puppy back again when we need your services.”
About: Hi my name is Alexis I'm a full time college student and I nanny as well as pet sit. With that being said, I've always loved all fur babies and started dog sitting locally overnight about 4 years ago. I now help with dog sitting during my stay with clients while being a nanny. Occasionally I will also volunteer and dog walk at Rock and Rescue adoption center in Woodland Hills when I have free time after school. Additionally, I will help a friend of mine who has her own dog walking business walk the dogs and spend time with them if needed. I am hoping to meet you and your fur baby soon and I can't wait to hear back from you! Thank you.
About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for both dogs and cats, including pets with different temperaments and routines. I currently care for pets in my own home, so I understand how important it is to provide a safe, clean, and calm environment. I’m experienced with feeding schedules, potty routines, basic grooming, and giving pets the attention they need to feel comfortable. I am especially patient with shy or anxious pets and make sure they feel secure while you’re away. I focus on providing consistent care, close supervision, and regular updates so you always know your pet is in good hands. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to provide consistent care throughout the day. I am able to give regular potty breaks, attention, and supervision. Since I already care for pets at home, your pet will fit into a calm and structured routine. I am available for boarding on most days and can accommodate different schedules when needed. I maintain a clean, pet-safe home and closely supervise all pets at all times. I create a calm, secure environment and can separate pets if needed to ensure everyone’s safety and comfort.
“Every time we go to Nicole’s for sitting I can tell Lola is getting more comfortable being there. I can tell she is loved especially with all the kisses I see her getting when I drop her of and pick her up. The pictures Nicole sent also let me know that Lola is very well taken care of in her home. I’m not worried bringing Lola to Nicole’s for care and hope I’ill be able to bring her for a very long time. In fact I’ve already booked her to stay for a week in April which goes to show how much I trust Nicole to take care of my baby. Nicole is the best.”

About: Ive been pet-sitting for a longtime now. Only recently I have actually started getting paid for it it but before that I would just help out friends and neighbors with their pet-sitting needs. I have a really open schedule so I am really available. I also am not working as of right now so that contributes heavily to my availability. I can easily crate pets if needed as well as just keeping a good eye on everyones pets. I understand especially with puppies, that routine is very important so I try my absolute best to uphold that routine
“Great communication with lots of pictures of bacon on walks. She really took care of him like he was her own dog. I will definitely be requesting more walks from Alyssa.”
About: I’ve had private clients over the past two years consistent of house sitting and dog walking. Moving to a new area and switching to Rover to meet new pets to care for. I currently have open weekends and work a 9/80 schedule allowing me to be off every other Friday and available to help your pets! I provide attentive, loving care by following each pet’s routine, ensuring safety, clean environments, regular exercise, fresh water, meals, medication support, and consistent communication with owners.
“Trinity has been consistent & reliable with my pup on their past 8 walks. Trinity implements her commands & structure which is helpful in keeping our strong girl in check. Not only is she knowledgable & understanding about dogs my pup truly enjoys their time together!”
About: I love all animals even the initially intimidating ones. I know how to read animals signals and access their comfort level. I give each pet the time it needs to get comfortable so that I can establish a relationship of trust. I'm nether a cat person or a dog person or a tortoise person for that matter, I love all pets equally. I've taken care of virtually every kind of house, pet (including my aunt's chinchilla) thank you got something I haven't seen before? Bring it on. I'm ready for it all. I don't consider taking care of pets to be at shore or work. I take care of them because they take care of me. They keep me calm and grounded, even when things are at their most chaotic. First things first, I treat each animal as if it were my own. I make sure to give each pet the attention it deserves. Upon first introduction and the patients to let it get comfortable when needed. From there I'm happy to take care of any special requests you might require for your pet.
About: I grew up with pets and currently have my own pets, teaching my daughter proper responsibility and behavior with animals. We fully incorporate them into our family, and love and care for all living things! We love pets! I work a very flexible schedule, working a max of 3 days a week. I find at least 45 minutes a day to walk my pets so understand the need for animals to get out of the house, sniff, potty, and see new environments during the day. Our pets are fully incorporated into our home and our family. They are allowed inside, get at least one walk a day, but strive for 2, their health is maintained and prioritized, and Safety for my pets, other peoples pets, and the owners is always a priority.
“Denise has been amazing with Stella and Milo. They have lots of energy and she has been great to adapt to their own unique personalities. Stella is 9 1/2yo and started limping one night and she let me know right away sending me videos and pictures. She always sends great updates and pictures which makes my shifts so much better!”
About: Hi, I’m Josselyn! 🐾❤️ I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember. While living in Bakersfield, I saw firsthand how many stray and neglected animals needed someone to stop and care. I couldn’t just drive past. I would stop for dogs wandering the streets, provide food and fresh water, check for injuries, and do everything I could to get them somewhere safe. Whenever possible, I helped connect them with rescues, foster families, or loving forever homes. If you looked in my car, you’d probably find a bag of dog food, extra water, treats, and a leash because helping animals isn’t something I turn on and off; it’s simply who I am. Some of the most meaningful moments for me have been watching an animal go from scared, hungry, or unsure to safe, happy, and loved. That’s when I realized caring for animals isn’t just something I enjoy—it’s something that comes naturally to me. Along with caring for my own dogs and cats, I’ve also provided dog walking and pet sitting for others. I’ve cared for dogs with all kinds of personalities, energy levels, ages, and needs. Whether your pup is shy and needs time to warm up, playful and full of energy, or a senior who needs extra patience and gentle care, I take the time to understand them and make them feel comfortable. I’m also very active, so if your dog loves long walks, jogging, hiking, or getting their energy out, I’ll happily keep up! If they prefer a slower, relaxed walk with plenty of sniffing and attention, I’m just as happy to go at their pace. Every dog is different, and I believe their care should be personalized to who they are. What truly sets me apart is that I don’t see this as just a job. I was caring for animals long before joining Rover. I treat every pet as if they were my own—with patience, kindness, respect, and lots of love. When you trust me with your pet, my goal is simple: for you to have peace of mind knowing your best friend is safe, happy, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. Because to me, they’re not “just pets.” They’re family. 🐾❤️ I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family member! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because it's something I truly enjoy. I currently work two part-time jobs, which gives me a flexible schedule with availability most mornings, afternoon, evenings, and weekends. Whether your dog enjoys a relaxing walk, an active run, or just some extra love and attention, I'm happy to tailor my care to their needs while providing dependable, consistent service you can count on. Your pet's safety, comfort, and well being are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, and any special instructions so I can provide care that's consistent and personalized. Whether I'm in your home or out on a walk, I'll make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in caring and dependable hands.
About: I have been around and handling animals my whole life. Big or small doesn’t make a difference to me. You can have 1 or 100 the more the merrier I’ve always said. I have experience with young big puppies and wait for you in the darkness to trip you cats. The “ excuse me may I have one more treat” horse to the parkour off you and everything goat. The sneaky kitties get caught redded pawed and the blubbering hounds sing with joy. I just moved back to Santa Clarita after living in Texas for 9 years. I’m currently doing handyman freelance work so I have a pretty open and flexible schedule. I try my best to make it seam like you’re not even gone by keeping to your pets normal scheduled routine and activities. That includes walks, feedings, medication, playtime, outside time a long with lots snuggles and plenty of treats (if allowed)
About: I’ve had dogs since I was a little kid! As an adult, I have been dubbed a certified “dog lady” by my friends. Love to babysit and watch friends and families pets when needed! I also have experience volunteering at various dog rescues around Los Angeles! I have a flexible work-from-home job and am able to watch pets when need be. Currently have an adorable rescue dog who lives with me in my apartment! Trust is very important to me! Your pet is my #1 priority and want to make sure you feel comfortable leaving them in my care!
About: I have grown up with and have taken care of dogs since I was a child. My wife and I both love dogs and hope to meet yours! My wife and I both work full time from home. We are home during the day at minimum 90%. We have a house with no kids and no other pets. We can provide as much attention to your dog as needed! I have a small fenced private patio, 2 dog parks, and 2 large parks within walking distance.
About: I've taken care of many pets in my life. I have watched my mom use Rover for many years and have helped with many stays and walks. During this time, I have gained experience working with pets who have specialized needs and require more attention than others. Energetic or not, all pets are different and require a good sitter who knows what to expect and handle many situations, and that's me! I can take your pet on walks or watch over them, making sure they're safe and sound. Updates every couple of hours will allow owners to feel peace of mind knowing their pet is in good hands. I am available most days of the week and can help through early mornings or later in the evening. Pet care fits into my schedule and I will respond to any inquiries immediately! During walks, I can avoid other animals if that is required for your pet. We will spend quality time together and a good environment and trust can make your pet feel even happier during the walk. At home I am able to crate pets if necessary and give any medication that is required for them. Those pets with accessibility needs, I am able to carry them downstairs or upstairs if necessary and provide all other senior related care.
“Sarah is wonderful with my dog Nala. I think Nala looks forward to her walks with her. It helps to have someone reliable to come by and spend time with Nala while I am at work.”

About: I have always had animals since I was a kid and I have always loved them! I love their unconditional connection with us. I have senior dog care and medication administering experience. I am trying something new in my career path, which will hopefully include your pet. I want to work with animals more and turn it into a career. I can't wait to get my steps in with your pet! I have an open schedule at this time. I'm looking to fill my week with regular walks, visits, and boarding. I have three daughters. My oldest actually works as a pet bather with Petsmart and my two younger daughters love animals as much as I do......I've been told by my oldest that I'm not allowed at the animals shelter anymore. 🤣🤣🤣 I live in a mobile home with a fenced yard. I have four of my own fur babies that are welcoming to new visitors. Depending on weather we may go for walks at the park and visit the dog park or play in the backyard or even the house with toys. But as long as it's not too hot or raining we hit the park and dog park.
About: Hi my name is Alexis I'm a full time college student and I nanny as well as pet sit. With that being said, I've always loved all fur babies and started dog sitting locally overnight about 4 years ago. I now help with dog sitting during my stay with clients while being a nanny. Occasionally I will also volunteer and dog walk at Rock and Rescue adoption center in Woodland Hills when I have free time after school. Additionally, I will help a friend of mine who has her own dog walking business walk the dogs and spend time with them if needed. I am hoping to meet you and your fur baby soon and I can't wait to hear back from you! Thank you.

I do have prior personal experience coming from my dogs named Chestnut and Prince (both Chihuahua’s) I had helped raised mostly all their lives. They have both crossed the rainbow bridge unfortunately and I do miss them very much. We do have two dogs now Camilla and Luna whom I love very much. I had also babysat feline’s as well. I like to proper feed animals in a timely manner and being communicative towards the owners advising them of any updates from their fur babies. I’m currently working part-time so I have plenty of time for your fur babies! I board all weekend yes and also every weekday after noon. I have a fenced yard and one friendly dog to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog if needed and attend to their activities/diet needs.

“Just Amazing!!! Great communication, sent pictures of Loki during his stay, I’ve had some rough experiences with dog boarding companies and doggy day cares, but Kevin and his family restored my faith in dog boarding nothing is better than knowing he was being cared for and looked after while we were away thanks again!!! And we will be booking again 💯”
“Ilona was very calm and sweet at drop off. She took really good care of Choo Choo. She got him to eat which is quite a chore. She sent me pictures during his stay. I will definitely use her again.”
“How does one pick a dog sitter - the cost, the reviews etc. Well, for my pup’s first time boarding I studied my pup’s disposition at the meet & greet. She picked the sitter & space in which she’d feel comfortable & safe. Stacy & her family showered her with lots of attention & took care of my pup very well. So relieved to pick up a happy puppy 4 days later and know we found a wonderful sitter for the future.”
“My dog had an amazing five-day vacation at Tiffany’s place! Tiffany took such great care of her and kept me updated with daily photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. We’re so grateful to have found her and will definitely be back next time!”
“Mae made my first time leaving my Frenchie with someone outside of family so easy and comforting. She and her family cared for her like their own and sent sweet updates throughout the weekend. I’m so grateful for Mae’s kindness and will definitely book with her again!”
“Cynthia was a fantastic sitter! She sent me photos and videos of my dog while I was away and it was clear my dog loved her stay! Her and her family were all great and I would without a doubt book with Cynthia again!”
“AMAZING at her job. We had a situation where we needed our Uncles dog watched for 30 days and we found Melissa. She did an amazing job and even helped put Tiny on a diet. We felt very safe knowing Tiny was in good hands 🙌🏻 Highly recommend her !!!!!!!!”
“The only difficult part of writing this review is finding enough good things to say about Elena. Every interaction, from my first communication to picking up Puck after his stay, conveyed both a love of animals and professionalism. We met first in a local park for a meet and greet, where Elena and I chatted and her daughter played with Puck. I felt really comfortable with Elena’s easy manner and the questions she asked to ensure that Puck would be happy with them. I left in confidence when I dropped Puck off, and the photos she sent made it clear that Puck was happy and well cared for. Her daughter makes for a wonderful added bonus; Elena told me when I picked him up that her daughter made a fort for them, and it was clear in the pics that Puck received lots of play time with his favorite toys. When I picked up Puck after his stay, he was of course happy to see me, but not overcome with nervousness or anxiety. I could see that he felt safe and loved in Elena’s home. When I arrived home, he slipped right back into normal routines without needing decompression time. Thank you, Elena, for providing Puck with a warm and loving home-away-from-home.”
“So much appreciation for Laura & Brian, they always go above and beyond to help with my Arlo. Many many times I have had situations come up and they’re always willing to work with me. Grateful for them!”
“Melissa is just so sweet, attentive & caring. 1st time leaving my puppy anywhere. He had a good time & overcame his fear being around other dogs. Simply the Best She will definitely be my go to for any upcoming trips 🥰”
“Excellent family to watch your dog. I left my one year old Aussie with them and she loved their yard to run around and the attention of the adults and children. I would highly recommend them and will use them in the future. Daily photos helped my anxiety of not seeing my pup”
“Cindy and Hans were absolutely incredible with our dog, Cooper. From the moment we picked him up, it was clear he had completely fallen head over heels for Cindy… he followed her everywhere like her little shadow! It honestly warmed my heart to see how comfortable and happy he was with them. They treated Cooper like he was their own, and it showed in every way. When it was time to go home, I swear he looked a little sad to leave because he loved being with Cindy and Hans so much! As a dog parent, there is nothing better than knowing your pup is not just cared for, but truly loved while you’re away. We feel so lucky to have found Cindy and Hans. If you’re looking for people who will treat your dog like family, you couldn’t ask for better. Cooper can’t wait for his next visit! Sara & Ari”
“Alexis was fabulous. 10 stars. This was the first time using the app and she was the first person I found. She was very responsive and we had very clear communications. The first day my two pups went to her house they were clearly not happy when I dropped them off but then I started getting photos of how well they were integrating. She walked them, loved them and when I took them back the second day they were reaching for her when I went to go hand her the dogs. She had a clean home and the experience was just amazing. I would highly recommend Alexis for all your doggy needs. She was great.”
“Henry was happy at Jane's resident. He got along well with her, her dog and family. Her husband gave Henry special attention at night because Henry did not want to be in a separate room at night so he slept in same room as Henry. Jane has a yard that Henry enjoyed with her dog. Jane and her husband were sweet and we did a meet and greet before drop off. Jane was able to take care of Henry's special diet restrictions. I would use Jane again:)”
“Basilio made my dog so happy during his stay! My dog even made a couple of new doggie friends. He was cared for and loved so much. Basilio also sent plenty of photos showing what a good time my dog was having. This gentleman even came and picked my dog up and brought him back. Easy to keep in contact with.”
“Laura, thank you so much for taking such good care of Bear. After meeting Laura I felt very confident that our dog was going to be taken care of and loved while we were away. During our travels Laura checked in with occasional updated text messages and pictures. We were also pleasantly surprised when we picked up our dog to see that she had groomed his as well. I would not hesitate to recommend Laura as a pet sitter and this will be Bears new home away from home. Thanks Again, Joshua Stewart”
“Our older dog loved his time with Aimee and her partner! They sent updates and photos and set our minds at ease. I appreciated that she had our dogs meet first; she really cared that our pup felt comfortable with their sweet dog and the space before we left. Aimee and E are lovely people and excellent pet sitters. We will book again. Thank you for loving our Dexter!”
