“Nadege is a fantastic boarder who took such great care of my old boy. My dog can be a bit shy/standoffish but from the moment he arrived he immediately fell in love with Nadege and really enjoyed his time. When I picked him up he almost didn't want to leave! For all of my future dog boarding needs I will definitely use Nadege!”
“Amorn and Adam are great with our dog Leo. Leo seems to be right at home with them, and we really appreciate all the adorable photos they send! We are very grateful to have found people we can our trust with our dog and look forward to his next visit!”
“Thank you Ashton and Jay for taking such good care of Rex. We loved getting updates and photos. It felt like Rex was truly cared for as if he were Ashton and Jay’s own dog. Thanks again!”
“Stephen was absolutely fantastic in watching sky for us for almost a week ! They were boarding her for the first time so we were very anxious , but the constant communication from Stephen while we were way put us at ease. She was happy, well looked after and safe ! We will be repeat clients with Stephen for sure !”
“Hershey had a wonderful time staying with Nayira and her family! We were updated daily with her well being and all the pics showed all smiles. Would reach out again for future sitting needs as I am happy with the care, communication, and enrichment our Hershey received during our time away.”
“Best boarding experience my pup has ever had! He’s not exactly the easiest boy to handle given how energetic he is, but after our initial meet and greet with Ashlee I had 0 concerns. She told me about the dog rescue organization she created so she definitely will give your pup the care and attention they need. She also took my dog on pack walks and long hikes around Runyon Canyon! She has so much space on her fenced off property and the sweetest dogs of her own that all played well with my pup and helped keep him busy! I genuinely believe he had a better time than I did while I was away. He came home cuddly and so tired so I know he had a blast! Would recommend her to all of my friends and everyone else reading this”
“Chan and his wife were the best!! They were super kind and sweet from beginning to end! They sent plenty of photos and updates during my dog’s stay with them which was much appreciated! Their updates put me at ease and I knew that my dog was in good hands. They were extremely accommodating to my schedule. Thank you so much!! I recommend them 100%!!”
“She was very responsive and flexible around my pick up and drop off times. Provided photos and videos of their walks every day and Chase looked happy in each one! Chase is a 100 pound German Shepherd and she handled him very well. Very thankful I was able to find her relatively last minute for my stay and have everything work out!”
“Renata and her family were incredible hosts for our 5 year old pug Anu. They were welcoming, provided lots of updates, and truly treated him like a part of the family. Renata shared a lot of photos throughout the long weekend that they watched Anu and I've never seen him happy and settled in so quickly at a new person's house. We felt super lucky to have Anu in the care of someone so nurturing and will definitely be back in touch with Renata the next time we need a dog sitter.”
“Marcelo and Elaine always take good care of our pup! He loves to play ball, and they’re happy to engage with him. They keep us updated on his status and respond to messages quickly. We highly recommend them!”
“I highly recommend booking with Mandie S. We were staying in Burbank where pets were not welcome and I am so glad I was able to book at Mandie's. I knew Celeste and Rocky really enjoyed their stay because Mandie sent me videos of them wrestling in the morning, the way they always do at home. Celeste has allergies and Mandie knew just what to do because her Shit-Zu also has allergies. Mandi gave me a bag of special hypo-allergenic dog food to try at home to see if it will help Celeste as much as it helped her dog! Now that is going above and beyond what most sitters would do! Communication was prompt as was drop off and pick up.”
“Nicole has been great with our little boy! She seems to be so calming for him and eased our minds as well with frequent pictures and updates. It was so hard to leave him but Nicole showed us that she genuinely cares for Javi.”
“Arizona had a wonderful stay with Kate and Aaron. She settled in quickly and felt comfortable from the very first day. They kept me updated with photos and messages, which made the whole experience easy and stress-free. Really liked those pictures from the back yard playtime. I would definitely book with them again. Arizona loved her time there, and I felt confident leaving her in their spacious home.”
About: Lifelong pet parent to dogs, cats, fish, birds and hamsters. I also petsit for all my friends and love working with the big two (dogs and cats). I also have 3 years of volunteering experience with the Pasadena Humane Society, where I worked with socializing dogs. I work remotely and have a very flexible schedule. I am available almost any day for walks, feedings, check-ins and overnight boards. I am available most times of day/night as well. No matter which pet I take care of, I act and treat them as if they were my own. Pets can feel vulnerable without their parents and I do my best to ease anxiety for an easier visit.
“First time using rover and I don’t really know how my dog would react with other sitter. I was pretty amazed how my dog got along pretty quickly with James. Definitely would recommend James for any pet sitting. He keeps you updated with everything throughout the whole day. For sure I’ll be coming back again here with James. Thanks James!”
“Overall satisfied with the care given by Peter. He was kind enough to send me pictures and videos of my four legged son. Happy to have found a genuinely kind dog sitter.”
“Once again, my pup had a stellar stay with Nancy! As always, she takes the very best care of him and is incredibly communicative and helpful. Nancy is a true dog whisperer - I can't imagine working with anyone esle.”

“Emma was great with my cat Acorn this past week. She sent picture/video updates and I could tell she made Acorn feel very comfortable. I would definitely recommend Emma to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”
“Gina took great care of our babies and sent the most amazing pictures every night! She was very helpful and proactive, and spent a great deal of quality time playing with them during each visit. Would definitely love to book Gina to care for them again in the future! Thanks, Gina!”
“Mackenzie is very organized and always came by at the time we agreed on, and my cats trusted her immediately. She sent clear photos and detailed accounts of her drop-in visits, and always responded promptly when I messaged her with questions or additional information. I’ll definitely be keeping her in my contacts for future pet-sitting needs.”
About: Experience I have with doggos comes a lot from my baby Sophie. I’ve been raising her since she was a few months old all the way to today at 15 years old. I learned a lot about dogs and how to take care of them because of her. I will take care of your dog as if they were my own. Pet care fits great in my schedule. I’m an independent contractor so I’m able to walk dogs then start my other job whenever I’m done with the walks or drop ins. I’m very attentive and always want to make sure the fur babies are in a nice cool environment getting treats, belly rubs, and outdoor stimulation.
“Rachel was great with our new dog, Bruce! He gets nervous when he is home alone at the moment, but Rachel made Bruce feel safe and calm. Giving lots of attention and cuddles. Definitely recommend!”
About: With over 10 years of experience as both a cat owner and cat sitter, I have a deep love and passion for working with cats of all personalities. I pride myself on understanding both the unique quirks of each individual cat as well as general feline behavior, allowing me to connect with and care for any cat that comes my way.
“Shelby was fantastic! Attentive, punctual and such a great sitter for my little Charlie. I didn’t have to worry at all on my trip. I will definitely book with her again :)”
“Lana was very communicative and made us feel like our little Goomba was in the best hands. She cares and makes sure to adhere to the requests made for the best experience for your pet. Would definitely use her again.”
“Jen is fantastic with our 3 cats! She is so good at connecting with each of them and playing with them. She always sends us great photos and we know we can depend on her. We would highly recommend Jen!”
About: I currently live with two cats, so cat care isn't something I've just read about, it's my daily reality! I understand that cats are highly sensitive to changes in their environment and routine, which is exactly why a calm, consistent presence during a drop-in visit matters so much. I know how to move through a cat's space without creating stress, how to read whether they want engagement or just quiet company, and how to make sure they're eating, comfortable, and settled before I leave. Every visit includes a photo update so you can see for yourself that your cat is doing well.
About: What sets me apart as a dog sitter is my unparalleled experience and genuine love for dogs, cultivated over 35 years of dedicated care! From raising puppies to caring for elderly dogs, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to every pet sitting assignment. My experience allows me to confidently administer medications, provide specialized care, and handle any situation that may arise with patience and compassion. Beyond my skills, Im a huge dog-lover! Ive had dogs since the day I was born and can't imagine life without one! I treat each dog as if they were my own. With me, your beloved dog will not only receive wonderful care, but will also experience the warmth and affection of a true dog lover, making their stay with me an unforgettable and very happy experience :) I work from home, so I'm very flexible. I can watch your dog at my house, take your dog on walks, or house sit at your place during the day. I live in a house. I have a fenced in yard. I also have a pool and grassy areas for your dog to do their business. I also have a Belgian Malinois who is so loving and playful and loves other dogs! I'm also a mom of 9 year old twins who LOVE dogs :)
“Kaitlin is communicative, responsive, clean, and caring. She did a great job taking care of my outdoor kitty when he had to be inside for 10 days while I was away for the holidays. She gave him plenty of love and playtime. She is patient, easygoing, and rolls with the punches. I highly recommend anyone looking to work with her.”
“Jenny housesat for us and took wonderful care of our cat. She communicated often and sent pics and videos. She’s a smart, considerate, sweet pet sitter. Recommended!”
About: Hi! I’ve been a pet owner, dog walker, and house sitter for over ten years. I had a cat for 21 years and my current dog is 11 years old. I’m extremely attentive, caring, and love to go on long walks. I typically work from home so I am available throughout most of the day! I love going on walks and try to walk as much as possible. I don't care for pets in my home as I don't have my own place. I will gladly take care of your pets in your home.
“Keianna is awesome! She is such a sweet and kind person, and I felt so comfortable leaving my kitties with her. One of my cats can be anxious around new people, and she was very patient and respectful with him. She sent lots of updates and pictures of them playing and having a nice time! I highly recommend her :)”

“10 out of 10 stars for Chan Woo and his wife! During their time with Ellie, she suffered an unexpected injury (through nobody’s fault) and had to go to the vet for immediate care. They sprang into action and communicated with me immediately, keeping me posted on the emergency clinic where they were taking her (the accident happened very early in the morning). I met them at the clinic and decided to have Ellie treated at her usual vet. Jibin generously offered to ride in the back with Ellie, keeping her calm and comfortable. Throughout the rest of the day, Chan Woo and Jibin checked in to ask how Ellie was doing. I was touched by their genuine, heartfelt concern. Chan Woo and his wife did an exceptional job, in a difficult situation, caring for Ellie. I trust them completely to care for my pup! You cannot find more reliable, caring, and professional sitters. Big hugs and gratitude to you both!! ☺️🐶💖”
“Santho was AMAZING!! This was our very first time using Rover and before we even made it home after dropping off our pup we already were being sent pictures of the shenanigans he was up to. Great first time experience!!”
About: We lost our own family dog to a heart condition a few years ago but love to fill that pet void by dog sitting for other family friendly dogs as much as possible! I work from home every day so love to have a calm and friendly dog to keep me company during the day, and give me a reason to get out for walks a few times a day. Additionally, my children LOVE dogs and love getting to know different breeds and personalities. I have a completed fenced front and back yard with plenty of room to run and play, in between walks in the neighborhood. There is a pool but it is fenced within a separate area of the back yard as well.
“They took great care of our dog, kept us updated with photos and videos it really gave us peace of mind seeing how happy our dog was, we would absolutely book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone”
About: I am often the friend/family member my people call to pet sit! After a major life event, I have much more flexibility and want to help care for animals. Give them as much joy and love as they give me! I have a full time job but I sadly no longer have pets so I’d love to use any free time or flex time to be around all the fur babies! We often dog sit for my sister’s dogs so we are used to having dogs in the home! I had two cats that I miss so much, so I have a great set up for them!
“My dog is very nervous and anxious around new people/environments and they were very confident and knew how to handle it when they met him which relaxed my dog and ultimately meh was able to stay and be very comfortable! Very happy with my pup’s stay!”
“Michelle has such a welcoming personality. Her family made me feel at ease with leaving YoYo. I didn’t have any concerns. She sent pictures & videos throughout the day. YoYo had a great time. Also, she was very accommodating with my late pick up time. I’ll definitely use her services again. Super thanks 😊”

“My dog had so much fun with Cassie! She was communicative and sent me photos and updates. She was patient with my dog despite her initial shyness. Highly recommend!”
“My skittish dog with separation anxiety had a great day at Jacqueline's place! Jacqueline knew exactly how to make her comfortable and she did not leave her alone. Drop off and pickup times were flexible, which allowed me to spend a full day at Universal. Overall, everything was perfect!!”
About: Since I was a child, I cared for many animals and pets on my family's farm, and in the last 15 years in LA, I've had my own pets and all my neighbors and friends come to me for pet care while they are out of town! I work as a part-time plant science consultant, I am a mom of a 10-year old human and an 11-year old doggy, I have a flexible schedule and love to be active, so pet care fits in nicely! I have a secure and fenced in back yard and many comfortable spaces for dogs all around the house. Cats are not a good fit in our home, unfortunately.
About: I’ve spent the last 6 years working closely in animal rescue and fostering dogs, and it’s become one of the most meaningful parts of my life. I also grew up with dogs my whole life, so caring for them has always felt natural to me. I started out as a volunteer and quickly found how deeply connected I feel to dogs of all kinds. Over the years, I’ve fostered dogs with very different personalities and needs, from shy and shut down to energetic and playful. I stay actively involved in animal welfare work and continue to support nonprofit rescue efforts whenever I can. Being around dogs genuinely brings me a sense of calm and happiness. I’m very patient and intuitive with animals, which helps me build trust even with dogs who are nervous or unsure. I’ve learned how important consistency, routine, and gentle care are in helping dogs feel safe and secure. I always take the time to understand each dog’s personality and what makes them comfortable. More than anything, I just really love dogs and feel grateful to care for them in any way I can.
About: I'm a life long dog lover who is ready to care for your furry friends! I've grown up with dogs my whole life and have been pet sitting for friends and family for as long as I can remember. I work freelance from home so I have plenty of time to spend with your pup. I cared for my soul dog for 13 years until he passed last year so I'm experienced with senior and special needs dogs as well. I absolutely love caring for senior dogs. I have also been fostering dogs with a rescue ever since, which has given me experience with lots of different sizes, energy levels, and personalities. If I have a foster I will always add them to my profile so you can know! I have a comfortable home with lots of places to nap and a large rooftop patio for laying in the sun. I can't wait to welcome your dog into my home! I work freelance from home so I am always around to be with your pet! Your dog will have as much company as they need. I'm not usually gone for long but I do sometimes have plans that take me out of the house, so your dog should be cool being left alone for short periods of time, whether free roaming or in a crate. But more often than not I am home with the dogs! My dog was always allowed on all the couches and beds but I'm willing to work with you on however you need! Feel free to bring their favorite bed or I do have some here. At night whether they prefer their crate, their bed on the floor, or in bed with me it's not a problem! The neighborhood is great for walks so just let me know how often your dog is used to going. I also have a large roof top patio with a porch potty available! It's a great place to relax in the sun.
“We love Kieran and Marty! Kieran is always a great communicator and so sweet. Our dog is always in great hands & we always feel as ease when Kieran is taking care of our sweet Houdini. ❤️”

“Kyle is the best! He is great with my pup and she loves going in walks with him. He is always on time and has been able to be flexible with last minute changes.”
About: I had the pleasure of growing up alongside the most wonderful mix of animals, including dogs, cats, guinea pigs, rabbits, a rat, a chinchilla, a hedge hog, fish, chickens, ducks, horses, goats, a pigeon, quails, and even a peacock! My parents showed me the ropes of pet care long ago when they started a horse boarding stable and their own Rover pet sitting service. I joined them on many dog walks, cat visits, and pet feedings, enjoying the time we got to share with so many animals. I now own two beautiful guinea pigs named Bob and Teddy that definitely border on spoiled in their luxury pig oasis. I personally can't imagine life without the joy pets bring us, and I want to make sure your pets get the same love you give them when you're away! I currently run an Etsy shop out of my apartment, so I am always able to quickly get to your pets as needed. I am free to fit the schedule of your pets to ensure their normal feedings and play times remain untouched when you're away. Since I already commonly work on the weekends for my shop, I have no problem getting the chance to care for your pet any day of the week. I will follow the instructions you leave for your pet to follow with care. As someone who knows animals, I know their routines are vital to their comfort. I will happily let pets out in a fenced yard, go for walks, and feed to their needed schedule. I'm also very willing to care for a variety of pets! The less common Rover clients deserve love and care, too!
About: Need a trustworthy sitter for your furry friend? I offer drop-in visits and walks that include feeding, fresh water, and plenty of playtime. I’m an observant and patient caregiver who treats every dog like my own. I have experience with both small and large breeds. I also have experience with other animals including fish, birds, rodents and reptiles. As an all around animal lover you can count on me to treat your best friend with love and respect. I am currently working part-time from home in the Sherman Oaks area. My schedule generally is flexible as long as I am given enough notice. I treat every drop-in visit as an opportunity to make your pet feel loved and secure while you’re away. I start by checking your pet’s wellbeing and temperament, followed by their scheduled feeding and fresh water. I love getting to know each pet's unique personality.
About: As dog owners ourselves, we believe in a simple principle: we won't do anything for your dog that we wouldn't do for our own. During the time they're with us, we treat them as if they were our own, with full attention and care. What makes our care different is that your dog gets the attention of two people, not one! Both my spouse and I work from home, so there's always someone around for companionship, playtime, and supervision throughout the day. We also know LA life can be unpredictable, so having two of us means we're able to stay flexible and work around your schedule whenever possible. As a clinical psychologist with a background in behavioral psychology, plus hands-on experience having personally adopted and trained a rescue dog, I understand dogs' needs on a deeper level, from anxiety and attachment to motivation and habit-building. Over the years caring for dogs across LA, we've worked with a wide range of breeds, sizes, and personalities, including dogs with picky eating, excessive barking, or high energy levels, and tailor our approach to each dog's individual needs. We always welcome a meet & greet before booking! There's a large, quiet park right by our home where we can chat through your dog's routine and make sure everyone feels comfortable. **First time clients please enjoy $20 off your first booking!** https://www.rover.com/sit/chanwl43421 Schedule Both my spouse and I work from home, so we're available for care any day of the week! Weekdays and weekends alike. This also gives us a lot of flexibility with pick-up and drop-off times, and we're happy to work around your schedule. Whether you need a quick daycare visit or long-term boarding, we'd love to help. Safety, trust & environment In our home, pets have plenty of space to relax and play, and with two of us around, dogs are never left unattended! You'll get regular check-ins and updates so you can feel confident your pup is in good hands. I follow your dog's routine closely and keep safety top of mind, whether it's leash rules on walks, feeding instructions, or respecting boundaries around other pets (We have three playpens! on hand, so we can easily section off space when needed). Our back patio is fully fenced, so dogs can enjoy off-leash time to run and play safely. We've made sure there's nothing sharp or hazardous back there, and we clean up after every potty break and hose down the area to keep it fresh and sanitary. Neighborhood dogs stop by for potty breaks too, so it's also a great spot for your pup to socialize. Being a typical Asian household, we don't wear shoes inside and that same care extends to keeping things clean for your pup! We vacuum 3-4 times a day, wash food and water bowls after every use, and wipe down paws with baby wipes (dog-wipes on request!) after walks.
About: I’m newer to Rover but not new to loving animals 😊 I’ve helped care for pets for people in my life and quickly became the one they trust to check in, walk, and spend time with their pets. I’m patient, reliable, and will treat your pet like they’re my own. I’m also very attentive to routines and will make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable while you’re away. I currently have complete availability and am able to work on you and your furry friend’s schedule! I am able to provide drop ins multiple times a day as well! Your pet’s comfort and safety is my priority, so I appreciate learning of their preferences and safe spaces within their home! I’m always willing to meet them where they’re at, respect any boundaries and be a respectful guest in their safe space.
About: Experience I have with doggos comes a lot from my baby Sophie. I’ve been raising her since she was a few months old all the way to today at 15 years old. I learned a lot about dogs and how to take care of them because of her. I will take care of your dog as if they were my own. Pet care fits great in my schedule. I’m an independent contractor so I’m able to walk dogs then start my other job whenever I’m done with the walks or drop ins. I’m very attentive and always want to make sure the fur babies are in a nice cool environment getting treats, belly rubs, and outdoor stimulation.
“Look no further for the best dog walker! My senior dog Toby absolutely adores her walks with Luba. I've seen a real difference in Toby’s happiness and energy levels since they started. She is very reliable, communicative, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. Knowing Toby is in such capable and caring hands gives me complete peace of mind. Highly, highly recommend!”
“I booked Lindsay last minute to help my sister with her doggies after surgery made getting them out for walks tough. Lindsay was a great communicator and was super helpful. The dogs were well taken care of and loved their walks. Thanks so much Lindsay!”

I’m fully available on weekends from Friday evenings to Monday mornings and can provide consistent care, regular walks, feeding, and supervision. Great for dogs who need extra attention or routine. I’ll customize my schedule perfectly to fit your needs 🐾 I aim to create a safe, clean, and loving environment where dogs feel at home. I keep a close eye on behavior, energy levels, and comfort, and I never leave dogs unattended in unsafe situations. I treat every dog with patience and respect, just like I would my own.
About: I frequently pet sit for my friends and family. I genuinely miss having the companionship of a dog. I also have a small pet stroller. I am currently stay at home during the weekdays with quite a bit of free time. I love taking care of animals and playing with them. I have a big space outdoor and indoor great for running around. The backyard is also fenced. Frequent potty breaks and routine feeding schedule for your baby
About: Hi! I'm Andrea, a Sherman Oaks local, mom, and lifelong animal lover who's been around dogs and cats my whole life (including the two cats currently running my home). I know what it means to hand your pet off to someone and hope for the best, and I want to be the person you never have to worry about. I offer 30 and 60 minute dog walks, dog drop-in visits, and cat drop-in visits for pets who need a little company and attention during the day. Every visit includes a photo update and a quick note about how your pet did. I know that stuff matters when you're at work wondering how they're doing! I keep my client list intentionally small so I can give every animal real attention, not just a rushed loop around the block or a quick bowl refill. Meet-and-greets are always included before we get started; I want to make sure it's a good fit for your pet, not just a booking. I'm based in Sherman Oaks and cover the surrounding Valley neighborhoods. If you're looking for someone consistent, reliable, and genuinely invested in your pet's wellbeing, I'd love to connect! I keep my client list small and intentional, which means your pet is never an afterthought in a packed day. Visits are scheduled with enough buffer time so I'm never rushed and your pet gets my full attention, not a quick check-in between back-to-back bookings. When I'm in your home, I treat it with the same care I'd want someone to show mine. I follow your instructions closely, make sure doors and gates are secure, and never cut a visit short. For dog walks, I use your pet's own leash and equipment unless you prefer otherwise, and I stay aware of the environment around us like other dogs, traffic, anything that could affect your pet's safety. For cat drop-ins, I move calmly through your space, make sure food, water, and litter are taken care of, and spend real time with your cat rather than just completing a checklist.
“Ashton and his partner were super friendly, set up a great meet and greet and seem like great folks to work with. Had him come take our little boy for a walk and it helped us tremendously”
About: Hi! I’m a dependable and attentive pet caregiver based in Sherman Oaks. I have years of experience carrying for pets and it brings me tons of joy. I specialize in dog walking and drop-in visits, making sure pets feel safe, exercised, and loved while their owners are away. I’m punctual, communicative, and treat every pet like my own. Whether your dog needs a quick potty break or a long walk, you can count on me to show up consistently and on time! I’m currently student, focusing on my studies, so carrying for your pets fits well into my routine. I’m able to help during your work hours! I live in a safe apartment building that allows dogs. I don’t have any other pets at the moment so your pet would be my main focus of care.

I can watch your dog at my house, take your dog on walks, or house sit at your place during the day. I live in a house. I have a fenced in yard. I also have a pool and grassy areas for your dog to do their business. I also have a Belgian Malinois who is so loving and playful and loves other dogs! I'm also a mom of 9 year old twins who LOVE dogs :)
“Megan is truly wonderful! She's prompt and shows such compassion toward my dogs. While I’ve been recovering from an injury, she’s gone above and beyond to accommodate me—far exceeding expectations.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats and almost any other animal that you can think of since I was 9 years old. My family and I have always prioritized pets and animals because they bring so much joy into everyday life, as well as I still a sense of care and responsibility for others from a young age. I’m currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to walk, drop in, or dog sit for an entire weekend if needed. I am also happy to look after more than one animal at a time. I care for all of my pets by treating them like they are part of my own family. I will ensure their safety if we are out on a walk, and prioritize their needs if I am taking care of them for a few days.
About: My name is Nichole, I am 31 years old, I live in Sherman Oaks, and I’d love to help you walk your dog! I grew up with pets and have always been an animal lover. In college, I was a program director and event planner for a community service club called Poly Paws in which we would plan and support functions including crafting pet toys at the senior center and volunteering at Petco. If you need someone to help you walk your dog a few times a week (or need a quick drop-by), I’m available! I treat dogs like family, no matter what type of dog. I am energetic, attentive, personable, and I will always be willing to take your dog out to walk and play!

“Thank you Ashton and Jay for taking such good care of Rex. We loved getting updates and photos. It felt like Rex was truly cared for as if he were Ashton and Jay’s own dog. Thanks again!”
“Stephen was absolutely fantastic in watching sky for us for almost a week ! They were boarding her for the first time so we were very anxious , but the constant communication from Stephen while we were way put us at ease. She was happy, well looked after and safe ! We will be repeat clients with Stephen for sure !”
“Hershey had a wonderful time staying with Nayira and her family! We were updated daily with her well being and all the pics showed all smiles. Would reach out again for future sitting needs as I am happy with the care, communication, and enrichment our Hershey received during our time away.”
“Best boarding experience my pup has ever had! He’s not exactly the easiest boy to handle given how energetic he is, but after our initial meet and greet with Ashlee I had 0 concerns. She told me about the dog rescue organization she created so she definitely will give your pup the care and attention they need. She also took my dog on pack walks and long hikes around Runyon Canyon! She has so much space on her fenced off property and the sweetest dogs of her own that all played well with my pup and helped keep him busy! I genuinely believe he had a better time than I did while I was away. He came home cuddly and so tired so I know he had a blast! Would recommend her to all of my friends and everyone else reading this”
“She was very responsive and flexible around my pick up and drop off times. Provided photos and videos of their walks every day and Chase looked happy in each one! Chase is a 100 pound German Shepherd and she handled him very well. Very thankful I was able to find her relatively last minute for my stay and have everything work out!”
“Renata and her family were incredible hosts for our 5 year old pug Anu. They were welcoming, provided lots of updates, and truly treated him like a part of the family. Renata shared a lot of photos throughout the long weekend that they watched Anu and I've never seen him happy and settled in so quickly at a new person's house. We felt super lucky to have Anu in the care of someone so nurturing and will definitely be back in touch with Renata the next time we need a dog sitter.”
“Nicole has been great with our little boy! She seems to be so calming for him and eased our minds as well with frequent pictures and updates. It was so hard to leave him but Nicole showed us that she genuinely cares for Javi.”
“First time using rover and I don’t really know how my dog would react with other sitter. I was pretty amazed how my dog got along pretty quickly with James. Definitely would recommend James for any pet sitting. He keeps you updated with everything throughout the whole day. For sure I’ll be coming back again here with James. Thanks James!”
“Overall satisfied with the care given by Peter. He was kind enough to send me pictures and videos of my four legged son. Happy to have found a genuinely kind dog sitter.”
“We just left our four year old pitbull with Lenny for three days and we couldn’t be happier! He sent so many wonderful pictures of our pup having fun, playing with the other dogs and relaxing in the big beautiful backyard and at home lazing on furniture. We will definitely be returning to Lenny many more times. It is just fantastic to know that we have someone we can trust, who is honest, responsible, loving, and at a reasonable and fair price. Thank you, Lenny!”
“Annabelle and Ben are incredibly kind and professional. I had them watch my dog, Dante, for five days while I went out of town. I highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for a safe, fun, and loving environment for their dog. They welcomed Dante, who is not used to being away from the family, into their home and treated him as if he was their own. They even allowed Dante to sleep in their bedroom and relax on their living room couch. Annabelle and Ben have a large fenced-in yard where Dante was free to hang out and play with their very sweet pup Ranger. Dante also enjoyed fetching softballs from their kids and taking walks around their neighborhood. Annabelle and Ben were incredibly professional throughout the whole process. Annabelle invited me over for a meet and greet before booking and sent pictures daily while I was away. I could tell from the photos that Dante was very well taken care of. Dante came home calm and happy which is a true testament to the expert care that Annabelle and Ben provided. I will definitely use them again. In fact, I will be bringing Dante back in a few weeks!”
“Santho was amazing she took extra care for one of my babies who is very timid and easily frighten. She also took the time to send pictures of my 2 fury babies throughout the day while, I was out of town. Through the pictures I can see my dogs were happy and in good hands. I definitely recommend her and will be booking with her again.”
“Alina was so wonderful. Our regular dogsitter had to cancel on us last minute. Alina came to the rescue and watched our dog for a 4 night stay. We were nervous to leave our senior dog (who has some special needs) with a brand new person. Usually we book an initial one-night stay with a sitter before doing anything more than 24 hours. It turns out we had nothing to be worried about. Alina checked in with us regularly and had very accurate descriptions of how our dog Bedu was settling in. By the end of her stay Bedu was in love. We brought home a very happy pup who was so well looked after, I can happily say she also had a little vacation herself. Alina’s residence is right next door to Petco, which was very convenient for us as we had forgotten to pack some supplies and stopped there on the way.”
“Sandi is so great with Belle! The two of them immediately clicked! Sandi took pictures of Belle, took her on an evening and morning walk, and gave her lots of snuggles. I will definitely be booking her again! :)”
“Thank you for taking such good care of my sweet boy! Appreciated the regular updates, photos, and flexibility on pick up time due to my return flight change. 😊🫶🏽”
“Jennifer was awesome! She was available to watch our dog within a weeks notice and took such good care of him 😀 sent tons of photos and updates. We felt super comfortable and safe knowing our dog was in good hands. Highly recommend using Jennifer if you ever need a sitter in the area. 10/10 ⭐️⭐️”
About: One delightful benefit of being single and living alone is I’ve ended up being the person in my friends group who gets to dog sit for all my friends whenever they go out of town. I studied Ecology at University and the love and respect of all animals is very much ingrained in me. I work from home, so to have a justified incentive to leave my desk and go for a walk would be gratefully appreciated. I live in the foothills of Sherman Oaks which makes for easy, safe walks in a very dog friendly neighborhood. I’m also more than happy to hop in the car and take dogs to the park. I’m completely flexible to the desires and recommendations of the owner. I care for dogs as if they were my own. Lots of interaction, affection, a continual supply of fresh water and hopefully a buddy to watch the Premier League with me on the weekend!
“A true savior! A true animal lover ❤️ We will for sure book again. Great pictures and updates. She made my hospital stay easier knowing that my baby Kloee was comfortable and safe. Thank u so much 💓”
“Kristina and her family took amazing care of our Bamba. It was so hard to leave her for so long but knowing she was in good hands (and all the photo updates) made it much easier. We would definitely recommend Kristina, Bamba was very happy there!”
