“This was Frisco’s 2nd time staying with Susana. Frisco loves staying with her & her family. I am just glad I found someone that takes extremely great care of my little guy while we vacation. It makes vacationing much more enjoyable knowing Frisco is in good hands. Thx again Susana!!”
“Amazing! She sent me many photos of my dog as well as kept me updated with everything he was doing! My dog was really happy in all of the photos and when I got him back as well! I would definitely book 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.”
“Kevin was excellent with Sporty! He made him feel super comfortable and sent constant updates. He was so awesome Sporty will be returning to stay with him for 5 days for our upcoming travels.”
“Chengcheng did a great job of sending text updates and photos daily of our pug. She is very easy to communicate with through text and we could tell that she really cares for your family as if it were her own. Highly recommended!”
“Liliana took amazing care of my dog, Brownie, and I couldn’t be more impressed with her dedication, professionalism, and kindness. From the very start, she showed genuine warmth and a true love for animals, immediately putting Brownie (and me!) at ease. She went above and beyond in every way—making sure Brownie was well-fed, exercised, and showered with affection. She kept me updated with photos and messages, so I never had to worry about how he was doing while I was away. It was clear that she treated Brownie like her own dog, giving him not just attention, but real companionship. When I returned, Brownie was happy, healthy, and clearly well cared for. It’s rare to find someone so responsible, trustworthy, and caring, and I’m truly grateful to have found Liliana. I will absolutely be booking her again in the future and wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional pet care.”
“Nicole is awesome! I feel like our little guy Moby is loved and really cared for by her. She's great at sending pictures and communicating too. I always know he is in good hands when he's with Nicole.”
“Skylar was amazing at sending photos and updating us on our Peaches. This was the first time I used Rover and first time Peaches stayed with someone who wasn’t family. Thank you, Skylar!”
“Laura and Brian took excellent care of our dog, Scout. He is a very anxious dog and they took the time and care to make him feel safe. In no time at all he was having a great time playing with the other dogs. Laura kept me updated throughout his stay and sent lots of photos.”
“Sarah was a wonderful dog sitter and we could not have asked for a better person to watch our dog for a long stay. It was our first time with her and we will definitely be back! She provided lots of updates and made us feel so comfortable leaving Kobe with her. Thank you so much!”
“Ivy was amazing with Boomer. We had a last minute change in the schedule and she accommodated us right away, made special arrangements to have Boomer dropped off so we can make our flight. She sent us lots and lots of pictures and videos of Boomer all the time, and they always put a smile on the kids’ faces! We will most definitely use Ivy again, and refer her to all of our family and friends!”
“Nune looked after our two chihuahuas for four nights. We loved the photos she sent of our babies while we were on vacation. We’ll definitely call her again for our next trip.”

“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.”
“Alaina is an excellent pet sitter who will take great care of your furry family members. From the moment I met her, I was impressed by her warmth and friendliness. She did a wonderful job with my sweet kitty! While I was away for the weekend, she took fantastic care of my cat and sent me numerous photos and updates. When I returned home, my cat was relaxed and content, which truly speaks to Alaina's exceptional pet-sitting skills. I'll definitely be using Alaina in the future!”
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 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 :)
“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!”
“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 extensive experience as an animal caretaker. I have been caring for animals professionally for the past 16 years. I started from the scratch as a kennel attendant at a local dog rescue, fast forward to today, I’m an accomplished veterinary technician. I’m comfortable with all life stages, breeds, temperaments, medical conditions, special needs, medication administration, etc. I have extensive training in the veterinary field and can react quickly in unexpected circumstances. I’m patient and calm. I aim to earn the trust of you and your animals. There’s nothing more important to me than my own personal pets. I will treat your animals with upmost respect, care, and regard for their health and safety. I’m currently a full time Veterinary Technician. I am available during the weekdays in the early morning or evening hours. I’m completely flexible on the weekends. I’m very aware of animal behavior and safety. I am confident I can adequately manage the environment and keep your animal’s safety as top priority. I have extensive experience managing all types of breeds, energy levels, and temperaments. I love investing the time in reading body language and allowing animals to feel comfortable with me on their terms.
About: I've looked after a few friends cats for years, and recently I have taken in 2 kitties that were left behind when our old neighbors moved. I can stop by and check on you cats, ensure they have food and water, clean litter boxes and spend some time with them while you're gone!
“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.”
“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.”
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.
About: Animals have always been an important part of my life! Since the age of 15 I have cared for pets of all ages including bottle feeding and nursing young kittens as well as dog sitting for family friends during extended trips. I also volunteered at best friends animal shelter for two years! I pride myself on being reliable, compassionate, and attentive, ensuring every pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while in my care. As a recent nursing graduate, I currently have a very flexible schedule and plenty of free time to dedicate to pet care. I have full availability throughout the week except for Saturdays. Spending time with animals helps me stay active, get outdoors, and do something I genuinely love! Safety in my top priority when caring for pets in their own homes. I carefully follow each owners instructions, maintain pets normal routine, ensure doors and gates are secure, and closely supervise all activities. As a recent nursing graduate, I am responsible, detail-oriented, and attentive to changes in behavior allowing me to provide safe reliable and compassionate care in every home.
“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: While I don’t have professional experience caring for cats, I am responsible, dependable, and eager to learn. I understand the importance of following care instructions carefully and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable. I am willing to learn about feeding routines, litter box maintenance, playtime, and any special needs your cat may have. My goal is to provide loving, attentive care and treat every pet as if they were my own.
“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!”
About: Hello! Here is a little bit about me and my pet care experience. When I was young, we always had a plentiful of pets in our household. Dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, turtles, fish… you name it! My parents taught me and my siblings that all lives are to be cherished and how to properly care for animals. Now, as an adult, my family and I have 3 dogs and 6 chickens. We love them as family and tach our kids the same values that my parents taught me. If you are looking for someone who is trustworthy and will treat your beloved pets with love and kindness, I am the perfect one for the job! I’m pretty flexible right now and would love to use this time to dedicate to your pets as needed. Message me if you have questions about availability. I am very trustworthy in others homes and will treat your space with the same respect and care I give to my own home. I will follow your specific instructions for your pets care. It will be just me caring for your pet.
“I am pleased to write this positive review of our pet sitter, Kimberly. I scheduled Kimberly to come to our home and do two drop-in visits each day we were out of town. We have two ten-year-old cats, and I am guilty of spoiling them all the time. Kimberly showed up at our home on time every day. She provided detailed notes and pictures of my cats. I tend to be nervous; however, Kimberly was so thoughtful with her description of taking care of my cats, as well as the pictures, I had absolutely no reason to be concerned. We are going out of town for an entire week in the near future, and I have already confirmed I will be booking her through Rover again. I feel lucky I can travel without worrying about my fur babies. Please don't hesitate to hire Kimberly! She's a gem; She's kind, professional, thoughtful, and takes pride in her work. We feel blessed to have met her and her lovely little daughter.”

“Susana Is amazing, my puppy has already stayed with her twice. Every time he comes home sleepy from playing all day! Susana has also been amazing at sending me updates of my puppy, following directions and accommodating me and my puppy at a moments notice.”
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’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.

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.
“What a little mountain retreat for my pupper at Laura&Brian's! He loved frolicking around their hilltop grounds surrounded by trees and nature! Their attentive care, extensive experience and expertise all made his stay a delightful respite with loads of fun with his fellow pupper lodgers! I love the "report card" they give after the visit concludes (a log of potty times, naps, meals, activities, etc.). So very helpful. Also, I packed my pupper shank steak, and Laura saved the bone for me in a nice zip-loc bag for my pupper to enjoy gnawing on it later. Very thoughtful.”
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 have had dogs my entire life and love and treat them as my own children. They are a man’s best friend. They light up your day and take the stress away. I daily take them out on walks and feed accordingly. I am a stay at home mom with 20 plus retail Experience. I have decided to retire from sales. Now my focus is taking care of your pets if you are out of town, need a day sitter, etc. I have a fenced back yard, but I never allow pets out there unless I am beside them. I walk dogs on a leash. Play with them throughout the day.
“Ilona was exceptional. Very communicative, flexible and easy to work with. We came up to visit six flags for the day and she was able to coordinate with me for a flexible needed schedule. 100% recommend and would use her again.”
“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.”

I have a small fenced private patio, 2 dog parks, and 2 large parks within walking distance.
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.

About: I have been caring for pets (dogs and cats) since I was 5 years old as both a pet owner and sitter. I understand how difficult it can be to be away from your pet family members and will send regular pics and updates to keep you informed about your pet's well-being while you're away. I have always been passionate about researching and finding effective natural solutions to support pet health and am happy to recommend helpful approaches for your pets specific needs at your request. I also have lots of senior dog care experience, and am comfortable administering most meds that don't involve needles. My beloved senior dog with special needs (lost use of hind legs among other things) recently passed away and I miss him but am so thankful for the time we had. I learned a lot about using natural remedies to support senior dog health from him and also learned to walk him with support for his hind end. I am currently able to provide drop in visits for pets in the Mountain Glen I community in Sylmar at this time. If you live in this community and need help caring for your family pet, please reach out so we can arrange a time to meet. Happy to help with dogs, cats and possibly other kinds of pets. I can board too, but only for pets I know and have worked with previously. I always look for and implement practices that will create a safe, peaceful, healthy and nurturing environment for pets in my home and only board pets from the same home at the same time. Boarding and day-care are only available for pets I know and have worked with previously.
“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.”
“Stacey was amazing with our pup! It was our first time using rover and she made it really easy. She kept us posted with pictures throughout the day and gave our girl lots of attention and playtime. She has a great space for having pups get plenty or indoor and outdoor time. She also made a sweet personalized bandana for our pup! She was flexible and kind and we would definitely recommend Stacey and use her again!”
“Our pup loves visiting Nicole! She is super responsive and accommodating, making her an easy choice for caring for our dog. I really appreciate the updates and photos throughout the day and know our pup is in great hands. Thanks, Nicole! Can’t wait to visit again!”

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.
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
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: Hello! Here is a little bit about me and my pet care experience. When I was young, we always had a plentiful of pets in our household. Dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, turtles, fish… you name it! My parents taught me and my siblings that all lives are to be cherished and how to properly care for animals. Now, as an adult, my family and I have 3 dogs and 6 chickens. We love them as family and tach our kids the same values that my parents taught me. If you are looking for someone who is trustworthy and will treat your beloved pets with love and kindness, I am the perfect one for the job! I’m pretty flexible right now and would love to use this time to dedicate to your pets as needed. Message me if you have questions about availability. I am very trustworthy in others homes and will treat your space with the same respect and care I give to my own home. I will follow your specific instructions for your pets care. It will be just me caring for your pet.
About: I have cared for animals on my ranch in Acton, CA for over 30 years. I get along well with them because of the mutual trust and respect developed between us. I am adept at maintaining safe, clean living environments and noticing any problems which may crop up. I have worked with a variety of dog breeds of different ages and also have a great method for obedience training. I can provide information on this as agreed to between the owner and myself. I have one dog of my own at the moment. She is a rescue, and I know her particular needs. The same would be true of your dog/s. Each enclosure on my ranch is basically a huge corral with shelter attached. Dogs can exercise themselves and seek shelter whenever they want. I am also able to keep them indoors provided they are housebroken and reasonably well behaved. I can give medications and provide personalized care as needed. Services provided include the following? -Lots of private space for each dog -Dedicated care plans for senior dogs or those needing medications -Large tree-abundant yards. No cages -Leash walk and play time -In-door stays available when dictated by the weather -Social activities with other dogs given they are compatible with each other -Regular photo updates and videos I'd love to meet you and your dog. Let's schedule a meet and greet to become acquainted. Carole I'm am available for boarding on both weekends and weekdays. Since I am retired, this means I can check in on your dogs boarded at my facility on a regular basis. My premises are double-fenced for the security of client dogs. Dogs have plenty of water, and I feed them according to owner specifications. Wading pools are provided in the summer, and there are adequate shelters for dogs to stay in out of the weather when they choose. Any extra exercise desired by the owner outside of the exercise dogs give themselves in the large enclosed areas are arranged for between the client and myself. I will be happy to give high energy dogs extra exercise by playing fetch with them a few times during the day. I will also spend time reassuring over-anxious dogs by just being with them.
About: I’ve helped care for my sister-in-law’s dogs and have experience feeding, walking, playing with, and providing companionship for them while she is away. I enjoy spending time with dogs and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’m dependable, attentive to instructions, and committed to treating every pet like family. I have a flexible schedule and can provide pet care throughout the week. I’m available for feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and keeping pets company while their owners are away. I will communicate regularly and make sure your dog receives the attention and care they need. I understand that every dog has different needs and routines.

About: My flexible schedule allows me to provide the care and attention that all dogs crave. I have loved dogs all my life and prefer to ensure that my pups are well trained and socialized. I am willing to provide basic, positive, reward based training if you would like. No yelling and definitely no hitting! There is no doubt that positive reinforcement and consistency bring about the best results when training. If your dog has a training regiment that you would like to stick to please feel free to fill me in and I would be happy to continue that training. My work from home schedule allows me the flexibility to care for your pets, even when given short notice. My pets here get tons of daily outdoor time so they feel happy, rested and ready for bed by the evenings. Individualized care and respect is important to me. When entering your home and caring for your animals I listen to your concerns and goals and take responsibility for the safety of your fuzzy family members. Trusting someone new can be scary so I take the time to send a lot of photos and progress notes so you can be at ease that your pets are being well taken care of.
