“This was Vaders first time staying with anyone other the us and he loved his stay! Although he was a lot of work with tons of non stop energy, Traci had so much patience with him. She suggested some obedience school in which we are going to look into. I will be using her again in the future if she'll take us. Thanks again Traci!”
“As a first-time Rover user, I was naturally a bit anxious about leaving our puppy with someone new.Sharyl was absolutely wonderful! She was patient, attentive, and sent plenty of updates that put our minds at ease. Romeo came home happy and well-cared for. I’ll definitely be booking with Sharyl again!”
“Armando was incredible! He took great care of our dog, was super responsive and sent lots of photos. Our dog came home happy and tired. We will definitely use him again.”
“Katherine was extremely attentive to our dog who has some special needs! She was very communicative and quick to respond. She has a beautiful home and prioritized our boy which we really appreciated!”
“Ashley had a wonderful time with Monika and her family. She was well taken cared. She was very welcomed. Monika gave us the updates/pics/vids we needed. We’ll definitely have Monika and family again. Thank you so much Monika.”
“Very kind and knowledgeable. Communicated by sending photos of pups and keeping posted about their interaction with other pups. I would work with Arriyanna again. Thank you so much for taking care of my babies!”
“Tatiana was a GREAT sitter for our QT. She took a lot of care to administer medication and make sure QT felt at home and was comfortable during our trip. Sometimes she won't eat or get in a bad mood when we are away but with Tatiana and family she was very happy and eating like a horse. The communication and photos / videos were great. Overall I would highly recommend Tatiana to care for your pet. She is highly capable and goes the extra mile to make sure pets are happy and healthy.”
“I cannot express enough how truly wonderful Ashley was with our fur baby. She was genuinely concerned and gave him the very best of care and attention - even making him a home-made bandage for a cut on his tail and taking him on mile-long walks. Our Charley was best buddies with her fur baby, Gus. She continuously checked-in and sent pics while we were away. We were totally at ease the entire time which was priceless. Thank you so much Ashley and family. I would give you 100 stars if I could.”
“Chris was a great dog sitter. He cared for Bleu like his own and kept me updated with photos in a daily basis. He even was kind enough to meet prior to the boarding to socialize our dogs and ensure they got along. Definitely keeping Chris in mind for future dog sitting 😊”
“Qing was amazing to our pup, she sent video and photo updates the whole stay to assure us our pet was well taken cared of. Highly recommend and we will use her again!”
“Narumi was amazing. She kept the boys on routine and was able to give Bandit his medicine (no small feat). They stayed engaged, exercised, and she gave plenty of updates. Thank you again Narumi!”
“Ivette was vey welcoming and kind to my little Charly. She had no issues tending to Charly meal routine aswell as his exercise needs. Charly was very happy when picking him up, which is always a very good sign that he had a good stay. Thank you and would 10/10 recommend to everyone”
“This is the second time Shabnam has cared for Popcorn, and we couldn’t be happier. She is truly the sweetest dog sitter, treating him with so much love and attention. It gives me such peace of mind knowing he’s in her hands. Popcorn is always so happy and relaxed with her, like he’s part of her family. We feel so lucky to have found her.”
“Nick and his wife were excellent with my pups. We had a meet and greet, and my dogs instantly fell in love with them. They sent updates and took really good care of them. I will highly recommend them. Thanks so much!”
“Appreciated Lisa’s care and compassion for our pup when he was feeling homesick and his appetite was not there. Her updates were frequent and detailed and the photos helped capture how he was doing (having lots of fun w her daughter and other pup!). Highly recommend anyone reach out to her for boarding or daycare for their pup, shes wonderful!”
About: I’ve been officially pet sitting consistently since 2024 and have built my client base through word-of-mouth referrals and repeat bookings. I grew up with dogs but through petsitting, have experience caring for dogs, cats, birds, tortoises, betta fish, shrimp, and chameleons. Most of my experience is with overnight stays ranging from weekend trips to 1–2 week vacations. I’m detail-oriented, adaptable, and take pride in following care instructions closely while keeping owners updated with photos and messages throughout their trip. As a powerlifter and active person, I’m comfortable with both short and long walks and can keep up with high-energy & strong dogs. I work in-office during weekdays but am available mornings, evenings, overnights, and am fully flexible on weekends. My goal is simple: to make sure your pets feel safe and comfortable while giving you peace of mind when you’re away. I work in an office Monday through Friday, so I'm most flexible on weekends. For pets that are comfortable being home during the workday, I'm available for feeding, bathroom, and walks before work, in the evenings, overnight, and throughout the weekend. I am detail-oriented, adaptable, and take pride in following care instructions closely so pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I’m flexible to either board your pet in my home, stay at your home whether for drop in visits or overnight stays, whatever you and your pet feel works best for their comfort. Prior to the stay, (my home or yours), we will go over your pet’s routine and your expectations to make sure this is a good fit before moving forward.
“Brittany was an amazing host! She took excellent care of my dog and kept me updated throughout the stay with daily check-ins and pictures. My dog was happy, well cared for, and clearly comfortable in her home.”

Cat caregivers near you - San Pedro
Prices are estimates per visit for 1 cat. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
About: I absolutely love cats and their unique personalities 🐱💛 I’ve cared for many cats over the years for friends, family, and families I’ve worked with, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with them—whether that’s giving belly rubs, little scratches, playtime, or just being a calm presence nearby. I’m very intuitive with animals and respect each cat’s personality, whether they’re cuddly or more independent. I’ve also done overnight stays and even taken some cats on little walks! My goal is always to make your cat feel safe, relaxed, and loved while you’re away.
About: Need someone to check in on your cat while you’re away? I’d love to help! I provide reliable drop-in visits for cats throughout San Pedro, Long Beach, Torrance, and nearby South Bay communities. Whether your cat is social and playful or prefers a quiet companion, I’m happy to follow their routine and care for them at their own pace. Each visit can include fresh food and water, litter box cleaning, playtime, treats (if approved), medication when needed, and plenty of updates and photos so you know they’re doing well while you’re away. My goal is to make your cat feel safe and comfortable in their own home while giving you peace of mind during your trip.
“Julie is really great. Played lots with my boy Shinbu and made sure he was ok while I was away. She is so sweet and I definitely trust her with my home and my pup the next time I’m away. 11/10 from me 😊”
“Kayci was amazing! She took such good care of our kittens and she was really thoughtful with the pictures and messages she sent about how the visits were going. We would absolutely work with her again. She made us feel really comfortable leaving our kittens.”
“I was able to relax and enjoy my vacation because of Kirsten. Her communication skills are excellent and I never had to worry about anything. She went above and beyond in my opinion.”
“Have been using him for dog sitting for months now and have now also had him drop in to say hi to our bird and cat. Always very pleased with his care! My dog is older and has special needs, in addition to pretty bad separation anxiety. My dog doesn't put up much of a fuss going to his house, which is a testament to how much he likes Armando, his wife, and Buddah! He was also very accomodating with the drop in visit- we had set up the TV to play while we were gone and it messed up, but he was willing to follow the instructions we sent to fix it so that the animals can have entertainment again! Very thankful to have found such a caring and quality sitter.”
“Friendly, reliable, and conscientious. Kyle took wonderful care of my kitties, including catnip, play time, and lots of photos. My rescue cats don’t warm to everyone, but he won their trust. He also gave my diabetic cat her insulin injections. Highly recommend choosing Kyle!”
About: Whether your pet needs walk or play time I’m here and happy to help! Short or long walks, or if you need someone to come by and pet sit you have a reliable and experienced person! Due to my open availability my schedule is flexible and I can try and accommodate the time that works best for you and your pet. Safety is the most important thing for me. I can guarantee your doggo would be happy and safe. Your pet is in good hands with me!
“Dani looked after our two cats over a long weekend and everything was great. She took the cutest pictures and when we came back the cats were happy and healthy. She took exceptional care of our home as well. Highly recommend for any cat sitting needs!”
About: No, I had already been working with cats at my job. I never had a pet. About two years ago I decided to adopt my first cat at the harbor shelter. That was an entire different experience than taking care of a dog. They’re mostly on their own, but they definitely love love and cuddles. Then a year later I was blessed with the second cat that my mom found on the street. This cat was a neonate kitten. I have never taken care of such a small kitten before, even in my own profession, the biggest cats that we see, or at least two months. This kid and was a couple of days old I managed to bottlefeed him and woke up at every meow, took him to work with me, and he survived and grow to be a phenomenal cat.
“Bethany is awesome!! I contacted her rather last minute to check in on my skittish cat while I was away for an extended trip. She replied super quickly and we were able to schedule a meeting. My cat is fairly shy, but Bethany took the time and attention to form a bond with him. I would definitely book her again, as she has a lovely personality as well as a wonderful way with animals. Thank you, Bethany! ?”
About: I've had animals since I was a child and have dog sat for family friends and have administered medications such as oral, ointment to the eyes and body, spray and wipes. I'm comfortable caring for puppies and senior dogs. Please let me know about your furbaby so I can do my best to give them a fun safe experience. I'm currently a student so I'm available 12pm to 8pm weekdays and weekends to tend to your pets needs and schedule but am open to accommodate. I am not able to board any animals in my home or tend to your pets over night as I have dogs of my own.
About: Ive grown up with dogs almost my entire life. I currently have a 6lb Yorkie who loves to play and is very friendly with other dogs. I currently work from home with a schedule full of flexibility so your baby would never be alone and can get the attention require and need! I live in a huge gated apartment community with plenty of room to walk, run and play! A couple of walks around the complex is great cardio and after that its usually time for a nap.
“Sylvia was very kind and caring with my two almost 11 year old cats; Lloyd and Spot. I really appreciate how considerate she was giving Lloyd the rest of his medicine. I definitely will use Sylvia again the next time I need cat-sitting!”

“Armondo was perfect sitter for Coco to hang out with for the day. He also watched our second dog Kona and took both for walks and to the beach. My doggies came home happy. Thank you”
“Traci provides a warm and nurturing environment for our girl. We have an older dog with dietary issues and feel confident leaving her in Traci’s care. Her cozy home is safely fenced and allows pets freedom to explore and find a comfy place to curl up or play. Our dog enjoys staying with Traci and playing with the other pups and that says it all. :)”
“Nicholas and Carole are the best! Our 8-month old high energy dog Fozzy loved his time there and slept so well at home afterwards, and even the next day! Nicholas took him on fun walks, exercised him with play time in their backyard, and let him run and play with their dog Bruce. They sent frequent photo and videos during the day. They even got him to go potty right before I picked him up, so that I wouldn't have to do that after we got home late at night. We hope to book them again in the future!”
“Qing took my little Kit for doggy day care for two long days at the very last minute. She was responsive and sent several photos throughout the stay. Kit seemed very happy when I dropped him off and when I picked him up. I will definitely reach out the Qing again.”
“Sylvia was amazing! She kept me updated on my two dogs throughout their stay in her home and made sure they got plenty of playtime ! I would highly recommend her and plan to rebook !”

“Courtnie was very accommodating for my two dogs. I needed someone for long term daycare multiple times per week, and I was having trouble finding someone I trust. She was very knowledgeable about dog behaviors, and how to make it a safe environment for all the pups. I felt safe leaving my dogs in her hands, as she seems very experienced. She is now my doggie day care provider, and I don't plan on changing! Her prices are very reasonable as well.”
About: Hi! I may not have a ton of recent reviews, but I’ve been on Rover since 2019, and animals have always been my passion 🐾 I currently work as a relief veterinary assistant at CAMP LA in San Pedro and have been there for 5 years. Over that time, I’ve worked both full-time and part-time, gaining hands-on experience with a wide range of animals and medical care. These days, I’ve shifted into a more flexible schedule so I can spend time with my baby, but animal care is still a huge part of my life and something I truly love doing. I’m also continuing my education to become an RVT and have a bachelor’s degree in Zoology. I absolutely love what I do, and honestly, I’ll probably be more excited to meet your pet than they are to meet me 😅 During the weekdays, I’m a stay-at-home mom, so my little one is with me. Because of that, I do require pets to be very friendly and comfortable around a baby. She’s gentle and used to animals she treats our two cats like royalty. Current availability: Drop-in visits Dog walks (best for dogs ~40 lbs or under) For larger dogs or house sitting, I’m available during evening/night hours (around 8 PM–4 AM). If your pet is a good fit, I would truly love to care for them and treat them like my own. I currently work as a relief veterinary technician, and since becoming a mom my schedule is more flexible, but my little sidekick comes with me 😊 (don’t worry, she’s friendly… just a tiny gremlin lol). Services I offer: Drop-in visits: All sizes welcome, as long as your dog is friendly House sitting: Available for friendly pets Dog walking: Small to medium dogs preferred; larger dogs are okay for walks during evening/night hours when my baby is asleep (for everyone’s safety) Boarding: Small dogs only (apartment rules), must be friendly with babies and cats My goal is to keep everyone safe, comfortable, and happy me, my baby, and your pet 🐾💛 I live in an apartment (not fenced), so for boarding in my home, I can only accept small dogs. Your pet must be very friendly and comfortable around a toddler and cats, as I have an 18-month-old and two cats at home. My cats are used to dogs as long as the dog is respectful, and my little one is gentle, but safety for everyone is my top priority. Because I’m a stay-at-home mom during the day, pets need to be especially friendly if I’m caring for them while my child is awake. For evening/overnight services (after 8 PM), I’m able to care for pets on my own, but I still require them to be friendly and safe to handle. Why you can trust me: I’ve been pursuing a career in animal care for years. I earned my bachelor’s degree in Zoology from Humboldt State University and also have my veterinary assistant certification. I’ve worked at CAMP LA in San Pedro for 5 years as a veterinary assistant and currently work as a relief technician on weekends while continuing my education to become a Registered Veterinary Technician (RVT). I’ve also volunteered with Marine Mammal Care Center and have two sweet male cats of my own. My goal is simple: To provide a safe, loving, and trustworthy environment where your pet is treated like family. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping them comfortable, I’ll make sure they feel cared for every step of the way 💛
About: Hi! Thank you for stopping by my profile. One of our favorite family hobbies is caring for pets. Every furry guest becomes part of our little family while they’re with us. 🐾❤️ I’d love to share a little about our home and why we truly enjoy taking care of pets. I grew up surrounded by cats and dogs, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. From Golden Retrievers to Dachshunds and German Shepherds—and of course cats—these wonderful companions have always been around me. After moving from Europe to the United States, I found myself missing the presence of furry friends. While living in Washington, DC, I started dog walking and cat sitting, and I continued caring for pets while living in Virginia. Now we’re in San Pedro, and I’m excited to keep providing loving and reliable care for pets in our community. We’re a military family living in a safe, gated community near Cabrillo Beach. My son is a wonderful little helper and is often the pets’ favorite because he gives them lots of attention, playtime, and love—and he’s always happy to share his bed for extra cuddles. He especially enjoys playing fetch with dogs at the dog park just a 3-minute walk from our home. 🐾 Your pet will enjoy plenty of play sessions, walks around our sunny neighborhood 🌴, as well as indoor and garden playtime. We also have a small yard where pets can relax during the day while I’m home. I provide multiple walks throughout the day, along with cuddles, brushing, and lots of attention to make sure every pet feels comfortable and cared for. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and well-being are always my top priorities. I love getting to know each pet’s personality and preferences so I can make their stay as enjoyable and stress-free as possible. 🐶🐱 I am very flexible. I am currently staying home with a very flexible remote job. I can take care of your furry friend during weekdays and weekends with the same day notice. In both my home and my clients' homes, safety, trust, and a comfortable environment are my top priorities when caring for pets. In my home, I ensure all potential hazards are removed and prioritize the pet's well-being. At clients' homes, I establish trust with the pet, familiarize myself with their routine, and follow any specific instructions provided. Communication with pet owners is key, and I ensure adherence to dietary and medical requirements. Overall, my goal is to create a nurturing environment where pets feel safe and cared for, whether they're in my home or their own.
About: Hi! I'm a dog lover of all sizes. I'll run with your dog, teach them tricks (taught our former dog how to use the clicker and various commands), throw the ball with them, take them on walks and feed them. I'm located in PV by the PV reservoir so I'm always out and about in the neighborhood on runs, etc. I grew up with a Scottish Terrier and have watched German Shepherds, Cattle Dogs, Dashunds, Shiba Inu’s and other Terrier breeds. I've got many books on how to deal with various dog behaviors and it's taught me a lot over the years. Would love to help during the week or if you need someone to assist on the weekends too, that can be arranged. Hope to meet your pooch soon! I’ll be able to balance time as I’m at home most days of the week. I’m pretty flexible with my schedule and can typically make it work. I have a fenced yard and can take care of your pooch inside or outside. If your dog likes to run, I love running with em.
“Pups loved Shelbie! Our 1st time using Rover and our experience with Shelbie was great! Appreciated the photos throughout the day. Pups were happy campers! Thanks Shelbie!”
“Thank you so much! She is BEST sitter for us. She sent many photos for us. So We could know how our fur baby were doing. My dog had a very relaxing stay and is very good condition the next day. We'll definitely request again next time.”
About: I have a 25lb goldendoodle named Churro 😊 I currently cannot commit to getting another fur baby; however, would love to watch your furbaby and treat him/her like family 💕 I'm currently a stay-at-home mom with two sweetest boys (one furbaby, one hooman). If I do go out to run errands, I'm back home no more than 2 hrs later. I have a fenced yard and a furfriend + toddler to keep your fur baby company. If you provide a crate, I can easily crate your fur baby for extra protection.
“We are very, very happy with Hank and Michelle. They are both incredibly friendly and sent us plenty of updates and pictures during Luna's stay. Luna came back with us looking all happy and exercised. Would definitely rebook.”
“Zahara is amazing, she was very caring and loving for my pup! My puppy Rue is very active and she was able to play and keep Rue company. I can tell from Rue's energy that she had a great and safe time at Zaharas home! Her place is perfect for dogs! She kept me updated at all times which was really good”

About: Owners will love the care I provide because I'm very loving and respectful of needs/wants. I'm very caring for animals as they need our help as much as possible. I love all kinds of animals. My care experience is based on learning from watching, reading online, or learning on my own experience how to proceed in careful matters. I've learned very risky situations on my dogs that I had in the past that I was not comfortable with but I managed to take risks. So I can say I'm a bit of a risk taker as well, But a safe only if you want me to do. Nothing is done without concerning the owner. These are a bit of what I can do for my dog and try with any other pet. I can bathe, clip nails, comb hair, and come up with tricks with treats granted. Availability comes great with me because I'm home with my fur baby of my own. I'm home throughout the day/night unless I'm doing homework, photography, or at the gym to better myself; Which I love too. This is great as well if you're looking to better your pet well being. So being available is my most accurate thing about me and it works for any working hours of dog owners. My special skills are loving, playing with dogs, and keeping them happy always while spoiling them with my love or treats. haha. I also love to take photoshoots with my fur baby as I'm trying to own my business one day. I love teaching tricks, spending time walking with them, or just hanging out. I'm here for dogs. Dog lover is my passion. If I could own many dogs I would. I'm those extra helping hands. I am here for you! I can take them to play, walk, feed them, and potty/poop.

I make sure your fur baby is happy, worry-free, and calm and stays to your commands/rules. I give love and accept lovable kisses and messes. I also have a fur baby of my own, so I know what it takes. I can do any service that you want and try my best to succeed with focus and helping needs until you return to your favorite companion.

“Traci was very loving with my dog and my dog wanted to leave with her when she was dropped off, so that says it all! Traci kept me in the loop, was very professional and most of all, obviously an animal lover. I would definitely hire Traci again!”
About: Our pets are just an extension of our family. I grew up in a house with pets and farm animals. I was taught to treat these animals with love and respect and ensure that they had fresh water and food every day.and that they were cleaned-up after, exercised and that they were comfortable. Upon having pets of my own, I raised my kids and now, grandkids, that our pets are special and essential in our lives and need to be treated that way. I have owned strays and mixed breeds, and a lhasa apso to hybrid wolves. A few years back, I started carrying for friends pets in their homes when they traveled. This service brings them peace of mind and comfort when they are away, as they know their sweet pet is being cared for with the same level of care that they provide. And having their pet in their own environment is less stressful of the whole family. I ensure that a regular routine is maintained and that fresh food and water is always available. I walk and/or play with them to entertain and exercise your pet on a daily basis. I am happy to provide updates and pics while you are away. And I make sure that the poop is cleaned up, as well. I am recently retired and have lots of flexibility in my schedule so I am available to walk or provide over-night stays when needed. I care for your pet as you would care for them. I do my best to keep them safe and cared for in the environment they are used to, their own home.
About: Whether your pet needs walk or play time I’m here and happy to help! Short or long walks, or if you need someone to come by and pet sit you have a reliable and experienced person! Due to my open availability my schedule is flexible and I can try and accommodate the time that works best for you and your pet. Safety is the most important thing for me. I can guarantee your doggo would be happy and safe. Your pet is in good hands with me!
About: I can provide dog sitting in your own home or in mine. I'm an experienced veterinary assistant with great references and 5+ years of experience. I love cats and dogs of all sizes and ages.

I am experienced at giving any necessary medications that the pet may be on as well as administering IV or Sub-Q fluids of the pet is in need of that as well. I’m also experienced at doing nail trim on both cats and dogs. Thank you for taking the time to look through my bio and I hope that you consider me when looking for a pet sitter or pet walker in the future. Thank you so much! ?
About: Hello! I am 28 years old and I’ve had cats and dogs my entire life, and caring for animals has always felt second nature to me. I’ve personally trained every dog I’ve owned, including my two 4 year old male German Shepherds Taurus and Aries, my 7 year old male tabby cat Vander and my 3 year old female calico Kiki so I’m very comfortable with large breeds, strong personalities, and high energy pups and cats. I believe animals respond best to calm, steady energy and consistency. I’m patient, attentive, and naturally in tune with their needs whether that’s playtime, structure, reassurance, or just quiet companionship. Your fur baby won’t just be “watched” in my care they’ll be understood, respected, and treated like family. Being a nursing student has strengthened my patience, attentiveness, and sense of responsibility all qualities that naturally carry over into how I care for animals. I’m already deeply committed to my own two dogs’ routines and my two cats, so caring for pets is built into my daily rhythm. I’m very mindful about only taking on bookings I can give quality time and energy to. Your fur baby’s comfort and consistency always come first. I have my two 4 year old German Shepherds, and my two cats. I’ve created a balanced environment that blends structure with affection. The dogs have consistent exercise, training, and clear boundaries, while the cats have peaceful areas where they can lounge comfortably. It’s important to me that animals feel safe and understood, not just supervised. Our home is calm, clean, and filled with love and I carry that same energy into caring for other pets. Because I have two dogs and two cats of my own, I’ve chosen not to offer in-home boarding. I want to prioritize my pets’ comfort and stability, and I truly believe animals thrive best when their environment feels secure and consistent. Instead, I focus on caring for fur babies in their own homes. This allows your fur baby to stay in their familiar space and routine while receiving my full, undivided attention. I’m able to step into your home calmly and respectfully, maintaining the structure and comfort your fur baby is used to.
About: Hi! I’m Candace, a lifelong animal lover and devoted pet parent. I’ve cared for dogs of all shapes, sizes, and personalities from energetic puppies to senior rescues. With a lifetime of experience in pet-sitting, house-sitting, and loving dogs like my own, I truly get animals on a deep level. My own pup of 8 years (a sweet rescue!) has taught me so much about compassion, patience, and the magic of building trust. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are my top priorities. I am a full-time pet caregiver with open availability, allowing me to give your pet the attention and consistency they deserve. I have years of experience caring for animals and have been around pets my entire life. I offer walks, drop-in visits, in-home care, and boarding. I’m attentive to each pet’s unique personality and needs—whether that means active outings, structured routines, or gentle companionship. After recently losing my own dog, I deeply understand the bond we share with our pets and treat every animal in my care like family. I want your pet to feel safe, loved, and completely at ease while you’re away. I’m happy to care for your pet in your home so they can stay in their familiar environment and routine. I’m very respectful of your space and make sure everything is kept clean and peaceful. If your pet stays with me, they’ll be in a cozy, calm, pet-friendly home where they’ll get lots of love, attention, and a comfortable place to rest. I really tune into each animal’s personality and needs, whether they’re playful, sensitive, or just want a calm presence. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know your pet is happy and safe.
About: Hi! I may not have a ton of recent reviews, but I’ve been on Rover since 2019, and animals have always been my passion 🐾 I currently work as a relief veterinary assistant at CAMP LA in San Pedro and have been there for 5 years. Over that time, I’ve worked both full-time and part-time, gaining hands-on experience with a wide range of animals and medical care. These days, I’ve shifted into a more flexible schedule so I can spend time with my baby, but animal care is still a huge part of my life and something I truly love doing. I’m also continuing my education to become an RVT and have a bachelor’s degree in Zoology. I absolutely love what I do, and honestly, I’ll probably be more excited to meet your pet than they are to meet me 😅 During the weekdays, I’m a stay-at-home mom, so my little one is with me. Because of that, I do require pets to be very friendly and comfortable around a baby. She’s gentle and used to animals she treats our two cats like royalty. Current availability: Drop-in visits Dog walks (best for dogs ~40 lbs or under) For larger dogs or house sitting, I’m available during evening/night hours (around 8 PM–4 AM). If your pet is a good fit, I would truly love to care for them and treat them like my own. I currently work as a relief veterinary technician, and since becoming a mom my schedule is more flexible, but my little sidekick comes with me 😊 (don’t worry, she’s friendly… just a tiny gremlin lol). Services I offer: Drop-in visits: All sizes welcome, as long as your dog is friendly House sitting: Available for friendly pets Dog walking: Small to medium dogs preferred; larger dogs are okay for walks during evening/night hours when my baby is asleep (for everyone’s safety) Boarding: Small dogs only (apartment rules), must be friendly with babies and cats My goal is to keep everyone safe, comfortable, and happy me, my baby, and your pet 🐾💛 I live in an apartment (not fenced), so for boarding in my home, I can only accept small dogs. Your pet must be very friendly and comfortable around a toddler and cats, as I have an 18-month-old and two cats at home. My cats are used to dogs as long as the dog is respectful, and my little one is gentle, but safety for everyone is my top priority. Because I’m a stay-at-home mom during the day, pets need to be especially friendly if I’m caring for them while my child is awake. For evening/overnight services (after 8 PM), I’m able to care for pets on my own, but I still require them to be friendly and safe to handle. Why you can trust me: I’ve been pursuing a career in animal care for years. I earned my bachelor’s degree in Zoology from Humboldt State University and also have my veterinary assistant certification. I’ve worked at CAMP LA in San Pedro for 5 years as a veterinary assistant and currently work as a relief technician on weekends while continuing my education to become a Registered Veterinary Technician (RVT). I’ve also volunteered with Marine Mammal Care Center and have two sweet male cats of my own. My goal is simple: To provide a safe, loving, and trustworthy environment where your pet is treated like family. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping them comfortable, I’ll make sure they feel cared for every step of the way 💛
“Danielle is so sweet and trust worthy! My dog is a nervous guy and he warmed up to her right away. Dogs just know good people! We are so grateful for Danielle and wish we could keep her forever.”
About: I have been a sitter for years. It’s just something I love to do because I love animals :) Once I got a fur family of my own (Dog & Cat) I thought it would be fun to be a sitter and do something I love. I always go the extra mile and create content, if the client approves. I work as a music producer and have tons of time for my animal friends! They make my days better 🖤 I love meeting new people and caring for their animal family. It’s just something that brightens my days. I’m very caring and attentive. Always watching out for them to make sure they’re safe and happy. Knowing they’re properly cared for is my top priority.
“Kirsten is the GREATEST WALKER EVER! Not only is she a super sweet person, she takes amazing care of our fur baby Phoebe and provides tons of adorable pictures and updates. It’s been a relief having her provide walks/check-ins while we’re out of town. 11/10 would recommend Kirsten!! ?”
About: I have owned 6 dogs through my lifetime, two boxers (Chica and Bella), one fox terrier (Jack), a black mouth cur (Kimber), A pit bull mix (Charlie) and a one eyed Chihuahua (Zoe). I also owned a couple of fish (Cheeto and Elvis) as well as a ferret (also named Jack). I worked as a kennel technician, groomer (I bathed, blow dried and clipped nails only, I did not cut hair) and a doggy daycare counselor as well! I know how to feed, water, walk, bathe, dry and give medications. My love for animals has always gone above and beyond, they deserve nothing less🩷 I have a lot of free time and a goal of starting dental school once I can afford it! If I can reach that goal by meeting and caring for your fur babies, it will be a blessing. I’m available anytime from 8:30 am to 10 pm any day of the week or weekend. I do ask for a 3-4 notice in advance for appointments (scheduling or canceling) please and thank you! For coming to a clients home, I always ask questions and for detailed instructions of pet care. I will follow the schedule, measurements and rules made by the owner to a T. I make sure dogs are being well supervised as well as lots of pets and play time! I am able to take them on walks, give them baths, play, crate and respect the dog (or cat) and owners boundaries. Side note: I cannot do boarding in my own home due to roommates and their pets.
About: I’ve rescued animals all my life on my own and with organizations and owned a boarding kennel for 15 years until retirement. Lots of experience. I am retired and love being in the company of animals in any fashion. Their happiness and comfort is my primary goal, whatever that entails. I will follow your guidelines on how to care for your fur baby to the letter. I know that activity, food and love are what’s important.
About: Hi, I'm Amanda - a long time animal lover and owner. I have one cat of my own and have grown up with dogs my whole life. I am familiar with dog behavior and needs and have spent a lot of hours in the dog park with my friend's animals. I am unfortunately unable to have my own dog where I live, so would love to spend time with your dog in the comfort of his or her home. Safety and the well being of your dog are of the utmost priority. Affection and exercise are also key. I am a great communicator, am responsible and truly love animals. Text updates with activities will be sent daily. Your dogs will be treated like my own under my care. My goal is to make your pup as comfortable and occupied so you can have peace of mind while you are away!
“Robin was great with Pickle - who can be very shy and timid. Her patience was great and she was able to get her on her walk when she needed. I would recommend Robin and book her again in the future!”
About: Hi! I’m Heather! I am a lifelong animal lover, reliable caregiver, and proud pet parent of two doggos and two kitties (one who is a brand new addition!) I’m gentle and calm and I treat every pet like my own. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your animals, so communication and compassion are always my top priorities. You’ll get photo/Video updates and lots of reassurance while you’re away. I’m experienced with shy pets, senior pets, and anxious pups who need a little extra patience and kindness, and I adjust to your pet's personality and routine. I’m dependable, compassionate and always respectful of your homeand I truly love spending time with animals and giving them comfort, playtime, and affection while you’re gone. I know separation anxiety works both ways, and I strive to keep my clients relaxed and confident in my care of your fur babies. I am comfortable with oral medication routines as well as pet CPR. I would love to see if I would be a good fit for your family's needs. I’m a part-time student and work flexible contract jobs, so I’m able to build my schedule around pet care. I keep my availability consistent and make sure I have plenty of time to give each pet the attention they deserve. Pet sitting fits really naturally into my routine, and I love having furry company throughout the day. When I’m caring for pets in your home, my priority is to keep their routine familiar, their space calm, and their day as stress-free as possible. I follow your instructions closely, meals, walks, litter box care, playtime, meds, and any special quirks or comfort rituals your pet prefers. I’m gentle, patient, and attentive to each pet’s personality, whether they want cuddles, playtime, quiet companionship, or space. I move at their pace so they feel safe and understood. I also keep your home tidy and treated with respect while you’re away, lights, mail, plants, and basic upkeep are all happily included. My goal is for you to return to a relaxed pet and a home that feels well cared for. No matter the service, I focus on creating a loving, predictable, and calm environment so your pet feels secure until you’re home again.

“Armando was incredible! He took great care of our dog, was super responsive and sent lots of photos. Our dog came home happy and tired. We will definitely use him again.”
“Katherine was extremely attentive to our dog who has some special needs! She was very communicative and quick to respond. She has a beautiful home and prioritized our boy which we really appreciated!”
“I cannot express enough how truly wonderful Ashley was with our fur baby. She was genuinely concerned and gave him the very best of care and attention - even making him a home-made bandage for a cut on his tail and taking him on mile-long walks. Our Charley was best buddies with her fur baby, Gus. She continuously checked-in and sent pics while we were away. We were totally at ease the entire time which was priceless. Thank you so much Ashley and family. I would give you 100 stars if I could.”
“Chris was a great dog sitter. He cared for Bleu like his own and kept me updated with photos in a daily basis. He even was kind enough to meet prior to the boarding to socialize our dogs and ensure they got along. Definitely keeping Chris in mind for future dog sitting 😊”
“Qing was amazing to our pup, she sent video and photo updates the whole stay to assure us our pet was well taken cared of. Highly recommend and we will use her again!”
“Narumi was amazing. She kept the boys on routine and was able to give Bandit his medicine (no small feat). They stayed engaged, exercised, and she gave plenty of updates. Thank you again Narumi!”
“This is the second time Shabnam has cared for Popcorn, and we couldn’t be happier. She is truly the sweetest dog sitter, treating him with so much love and attention. It gives me such peace of mind knowing he’s in her hands. Popcorn is always so happy and relaxed with her, like he’s part of her family. We feel so lucky to have found her.”
“Appreciated Lisa’s care and compassion for our pup when he was feeling homesick and his appetite was not there. Her updates were frequent and detailed and the photos helped capture how he was doing (having lots of fun w her daughter and other pup!). Highly recommend anyone reach out to her for boarding or daycare for their pup, shes wonderful!”
About: I’ve been officially pet sitting consistently since 2024 and have built my client base through word-of-mouth referrals and repeat bookings. I grew up with dogs but through petsitting, have experience caring for dogs, cats, birds, tortoises, betta fish, shrimp, and chameleons. Most of my experience is with overnight stays ranging from weekend trips to 1–2 week vacations. I’m detail-oriented, adaptable, and take pride in following care instructions closely while keeping owners updated with photos and messages throughout their trip. As a powerlifter and active person, I’m comfortable with both short and long walks and can keep up with high-energy & strong dogs. I work in-office during weekdays but am available mornings, evenings, overnights, and am fully flexible on weekends. My goal is simple: to make sure your pets feel safe and comfortable while giving you peace of mind when you’re away. I work in an office Monday through Friday, so I'm most flexible on weekends. For pets that are comfortable being home during the workday, I'm available for feeding, bathroom, and walks before work, in the evenings, overnight, and throughout the weekend. I am detail-oriented, adaptable, and take pride in following care instructions closely so pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I’m flexible to either board your pet in my home, stay at your home whether for drop in visits or overnight stays, whatever you and your pet feel works best for their comfort. Prior to the stay, (my home or yours), we will go over your pet’s routine and your expectations to make sure this is a good fit before moving forward.
“It’s my very first time looking for a pet sitter because I’m always so anxious about leaving my dogs with people that I don’t know but I can’t thank Stephanie enough for taking care of my puppies! It was a great experience, my dogs had fun, played with other dogs and she was so accommodating to their needs and also to my last minute changes! I was getting daily updates and pictures too! I was comfortable because she has so many years of experience and a lot of good reviews! I can fully recommend her and I would definitely be happy to bring my dogs again! Thank you so much!!!”
“Snuffles had a blast with him and Kobe. Sonish was constantly in contact sending updates and pictures letting us know Snuffles was in great care! Will definitely be booking again”
“Katie is the best!!! She would send me updates about my girls and pictures daily. She really put my mind at ease while caring for my dogs. This was my first time booking with Katie and I am most definitely re-booking her!!! I highly recommend her. I’m giving her 10 stars forget the 5 stars max on rover!!!!”
“Zaya was an exceptional pet sitter for Wally. He had a great time at her house and a great time with her and her other pets. We will definitely be back the next time I'm out of town! Thank you so much!!”
“Ash loves staying with Laura and her husband. She is beyond kind and patient with him. I am so happy I found her! It’s genuinely changed my life— if you’re a pet parent, you get what I mean. Thank you Laura!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better experience! We left our golden retriever with this wonderful family and their golden while we were out of town celebrating our son’s birthday. From the very beginning, their communication was excellent and they made us feel completely at ease. Our dog had the best time — it was her very first time staying with another golden retriever, and the two of them clearly had a blast together! Knowing she was in such loving, attentive hands allowed us to fully enjoy our family trip without worry. The updates and photos we received were such a treat. This family clearly adores dogs and provides genuine, caring, home-away-from-home care. We are already planning to book them again for our next trip. Highly, highly recommend!”
“Our dogs were happy and well. Ronald sent us photos of them several times during the weekend and they looked relaxed and at ease. Ronald's calm, confident matter with the dogs is just perfect for our large dogs, one of whom can get over riled up with the high energy baby-talk some well-intentioned people approach her with. Ronald was a perfect match for her. We would not hesitate to have them stay with Ronald again.”
“Sam is the best! He took excellent care of our Luna for 9 hours while we were at a wedding. He was also extremely accommodating and flexible with pick up and drop off timing, which we really appreciate!”
