“A great experience that was easy, flexible, worry and stress-free. Amon and Adam work from home and adore doggies and treat them as their own. Our pup had loads of human and happy pup interaction. Plus, sunshine, backyard sniffing and neighborhood walks outside. Inside filled with cozy beds and fuzzy blankets. Looking forward to Phoebe’s next stay.”
“Camille took the best care of our little girl. She followed all of our instructions and was a great communicator with photos and was responsive to our check-ins. We will definitely ask for her services again. Thank you, Camille!”
“Jack had the best time with Chan Woo and their dog Cream! They were extremely communicative and sent lots of pictures throughout the stay. We felt so happy that we could enjoy our vacation as Jack looked so comfortable and relaxed at their place. We will definitely be rebooking!”
“Could not be happier with my experience! They are extremely genuine and fun to work with. My two year old German Shepherd seemed very happy and healthy when we picked her up. Will definitely be reaching out again in the future.”
“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.”
“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!”
“Super communicative and understanding, Luna had a wonderful time with him - post operative donut and all. She had a last minute operation prior to boarding and Sean was very accommodating & kind about it, thank you!!”
“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”
“Absolutely loved Nicole! She was great with our pup and sent so many photos and updates that I knew our little one was in good hands. Awesome communication. Highly recommend!”
“Sarah was amazing! She was always quick to respond and happy to answer any questions I had. She was super flexible with my schedule, which I really appreciated. Most importantly, I could tell my dog had a great time with her and her kids. I’d definitely book with Sarah again.”
“Ok so I don’t normally leave reviews but these guys are just the best and I feel bad to gate keep anymore! I know my babygirl and I know when she likes a sitter and when she hates it and she absolutely LOVES these guys. I can tell when she sees them again and when I pick her up and she wants to go back inside that she has received as much love as she gets at home. I also appreciate all thise photos they send while she is with them. Make your reservations ahead of time cause these guys book up fast! I never worry when I leave my furbaby with them and even though I live 2 1/2 hours away from LA now, I still use them when I can.”
“Stacey was great! I had my senior dog with her for two weeks while I was out of the country and it brought me great comfort to know she was in such good hands. I got daily updates telling me how well my dog was doing along with Photos. In spite of the rain, they made it out every day and my dog left very happy. Grateful to have found Stacey!”
“Marc and Lori were so wonderful to my Freddie. It was the perfect home away from home. They kept me updated with lots of fun photos, they are extremely responsive and even sent Freddie home with Christmas presents. I would highly recommend!’”
“Joanna was very flexible, kind, and attentive for a 4 night boarding! She sent regular photo updates and took my doggo on many walks despite the rainy holiday week. I’m so grateful that I found her and will definitely take Luca back for my future trips!”
“Thank you Annabelle, Ben (and Ranger too) for taking wonderful care of my dog Luna. We will definetly use them again and recommend their service to family and friends. They are patient and kind and opened their home to our rambunctious dog. The photos of her playing, going for walks and "chillin" helped this fur mommy know she was happy and being well cared for.”
“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.”
“Aimee, Earl and Toby are AWESOME!!!! My normal sitter had an emergency and I had to travel so I reached out. They were so kind and accommodating and we scheduled a quick meet and greet right away. Goldie had a blast and feel asleep as soon as she got in the car. Thank you for being amazing. I will definitely book with them again.”
“So happy to find Marcelo , friendly great and communication. We received pictures every day we were gone. So happy with them for taking care of our two dogs.”

“As usual, Kerry is a Godsend. My kitty cat was healthy and happy after our return from vacation over 2.5 weeks. I should be jealous at how easily forgotten I was by my cat once Kerry took over. She’s so professional and caring. Def our go to sitter when we are away. Thanks Kerry and thank you Rover.”
About: I absolutely love cats! I’ve helped friends care for their kittens and looked after my family’s cats while they were on vacation. I’m comfortable with feeding, playtime, cuddles, litter care, and keeping them happy!
“McKenzie has been so responsive and helpful and reassuring and made me feel like my kitty was in good hands. She was prompt and thorough and adapt at giving medicine. And she always sent very sweet pictures of my cat . I’m so happy to have booked with her and I will certainly do it again.”
“Jenny was absolutely the best catsitter I've ever had! My cats immediately warm up to her on the initial visit, and every visit after I got pictures of them opening up to her, playing with toys, and even telling her all about their days (I have one particularly chatty cat who's also a scaredy cat so this was a great surprise to me!) I also have an elderly cat that needed meds twice a day, and each time she detailed how she was able to do it even when my cat wasn't super up to it! I usually worry about my furbabies when I leave, but after the first few visit updates, my mind was completely at ease. Don't hesitate to book her, highly recommended!”
“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!”

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!

“First time using Rover and so nervous to leave my babies. Emma was so patient and kind with me sending her pictures and long written out instructions to make sure I didn't forget anything. She followed them all and sent me updates. I've never felt more comfortable leaving them with anyone. Thank you Emma”
About: I have been blessed to be a cat Dad for most of my adult life. I always wanted a cat when I was a child, but my journey begun when I was attending college. During those late night study sessions and the entire time I was working on my thesis, I learned about how important a cat's companionship could be during those otherwise long, lonely hours. Fast forward to today, I care for my two cats (Sikhu and Sailor) while cherishing every moment of laughter and love they give me. As hard as it is to think about but I always remind myself that we are they're whole entire lives and I am eternally grateful to each and every one of them.
About: Hello there! My name is Taylor and I am an experienced pet sitter living in Sherman Oaks and assisting the Los Angeles area. I am also a veterinary technician pursuing a Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine degree. I am open to discuss all of your fur babies needs whether that be walking, feeding, play visits, overnights, boarding and/or administering medications. My passion is for the well-being, safety and compassion for all animals regardless of size and need. To provide warmth and care to your pets while keeping your mind at ease when you are away whether short or long periods of time! My rates are based off the needs of you and your fur babies, if you have any questions about what that entails or my offered services, please feel free to connect with me at any time! I look forward to hearing from you and the chance to meet your fur babies! (: My schedule varies within the week due to work, other sitting gigs and school when in session, (spring/fall). With that being said, I do have quite a bit of flexibility between pet sitting and working at the veterinary clinic. I have cared for many loved one’s pets in both my own home and the clients home. Each situation is tailored to the needs of the pet and the client, which I am always open to discussing further!
“Emmy was absolutely fantastic. Wonderful communication skills, excellent pictures of our kitty, and our home was immaculate when we returned. Will definitely be rebooking!”
“Muskan did an awesome job with Indy! She worked with him a few days during a week and was on time every day and made sure he had some outside time and cuddles during the day!”
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.
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.

“I can’t speak highly enough about Chan and the care he had for our pup, Otis. Chan was extremely communicative prior to our first meeting and made us & Otis feel very comfortable. During Otis’ stay, Chan was great about sending us photos and updates and you could tell Otis was having a blast. It was great to see him getting along with Chan’s dog as well & he was wiped by the time I picked him up, which is exactly what we wanted! 10/10 would recommend Chan watching your pup.”
“I had to find someone to watch my dog, Coco very last min and Houry changed her schedule for me to take care of my baby so she saved my day! She sent me lots of photos and updates of my baby while I was away so I felt very safe. Thank you Houry for talking good care of Coco! :)”
“We had such a great experience with our dog sitter! They did an amazing job taking care of Archie and kept me updated throughout the entire day. They sent me lots of pictures, which really helped me feel comfortable and reassured while I was away. It was clear that Archie was well taken care of and in good hands. I truly appreciate how attentive and caring they were. I would definitely recommend them and would book with them again! 🐶❤️”
About: As a lifelong dog owner and devoted animal lover, I understand that your pets are cherished members of your family. My approach to pet care is centered on providing a calm, nurturing, and personalized experience that helps your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Having cared for dogs throughout my life, I am attentive to each pet’s unique personality, routines, and preferences. Whether your companion enjoys long walks, playtime, quiet companionship, or extra affection, I tailor my care to meet their individual needs and help maintain the consistency they are accustomed to at home. I take pride in creating a stress-free experience for both pets and their owners through reliable communication, thoughtful attention to detail, and genuine compassion. My goal is to provide the highest level of care so you can enjoy complete peace of mind knowing your beloved companion is in caring and capable hands. I look forward to building a trusted relationship with you and providing your pet with the same level of love, respect, and attention I give my own. Pet care is already a natural part of my daily life. I work from home, which allows me to be present and attentive throughout the day. My own dog and I enjoy at least four walks around the neighborhood every day, providing plenty of exercise, fresh air, and enrichment. In addition to our daily walks, we go hiking several times a week, and I have a secure fenced courtyard where pets can safely relax, explore, and enjoy time outdoors in the sunshine. Because I am home-based, I can easily accommodate feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, companionship, and any special routines your pet may have. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and strive to create a calm, loving environment where they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. I care for every pet as if they were my own, with a focus on safety, comfort, routine, and plenty of affection. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, preferences, and daily schedule so they can feel as relaxed and secure as possible while their family is away. In my home, pets receive regular walks, supervised outdoor time in my fenced courtyard, playtime, companionship, and lots of love and attention throughout the day. Because I work from home, I am able to provide a calm presence and ensure pets are not left alone for extended periods. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I strive to maintain their normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, exercise, medication (if needed), and any special instructions. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they can have peace of mind knowing their pet is happy, safe, and well cared for. My goal is always to create a positive, stress-free experience where pets feel loved, comfortable, and cared for, whether they are staying with me or I am caring for them in their own home.
“Ashton and Jay were terrific! They communicated throughout our trip, they sent many pics and provided many pets. Our doggo can be a bit anxious but was at ease with them! We would recommend!”
“Cassie is a great sitter and wonderful person! She is so friendly, knowledgeable and amazing to work with. Definitely recommend. First time, and we’ll be back for sure!! Our 60lb Golden Retriever had a blast at her place!”
About: I will always make sure your pet is the number one in my space, or their own. Love is a universal language that I empathize with all of my clients and their companions! I have no life so feel free to give me one! I miss my family pets back in Michigan and hope that it reflects in the work I perform. I will always maintain clear communication on what your pet needs, when they need it, and keep yours and my space both tidy, clean, and safe of anything that may cause your furry little family any type of distress!
About: I’ve grown up around dogs most of my life with my family. I have experience with fostering puppies too. Currently I have one fur baby. I work from home full time so I’m flexible with your schedule. I like to go on walks about three times a day and walks usually take 20-30 minutes. I will be around to play and attend your dogs needs. I also have lots of dog beds that I have collected over the years to make dogs feel comfortable.
“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 😊”
“Emma was amazing. Was able to accomodate a last minute request for a dental appointment. I highly reccomend Enma. For any Puppy and pet accomidations”
“I had to find a new sitter for my two small dogs recently and was nervous about them adjusting to someone new. Katharine put my mind and ease and made sure my pups were comfortable. They both looked so happy in the pictures she sent me! I will be booking with Katharine again soon.”
“Kieran is one of the kindest and most patient sitters I’ve met. She took incredible care of my dog and helped me understand his behavioral changes when he’s away from me. It wasn’t just dogsitting, it was a learning experience for Louie and me!! Thank you Kieran!!!”

About: RARE LUXURY ESTATE, RESORT FOR YOUR PUP Every guest is fitted with an AirTag during their stay for added safety and peace of mind. I’ve been caring for dogs for most of my life. I grew up with dogs from infancy, and my first dog was a German Shepherd named Pooch who joined our family when I was still a baby. We grew up together, and he remained my best friend until we were both 14, when he crossed the rainbow bridge. Dogs have been a huge part of my life ever since. At 12 years old, I started my own dog walking business and volunteered with local rescues before eventually founding my own nonprofit, Akira Animal Rescue, which focuses on medical dogs and puppies. Growing up, I also cared for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments — including a rescued street dog, a Pomeranian mix, and a Lhasa Apso. Having both large and small dogs throughout my life helped me understand different energy levels, personalities, and care needs from an early age. I also have extensive medical experience with dogs through both rescue work and personal experience. My senior dog Akira developed liver disease and seizures later in life, and I helped manage his care and medications until he peacefully crossed the rainbow bridge in 2024. Akira inspired my rescue work and deepened my understanding of anxious, reactive, and medically sensitive dogs. When I met him at 7 years old, he struggled with resource guarding and trust issues, but over time he transformed into a calm, loving dog who slept at our feet every night. In December 2023, we adopted two Siberian Husky littermates who are incredibly social, gentle, and loving with other dogs — especially smaller dogs. I also currently have two sweet foster dogs from my rescue who have been in my care long term. They are the only dogs from my rescue in my home — all others are with other fosters. I now provide full-time premium daycare and boarding from my private, 1 acre, gated home in Beverly Hills Post Office. I have another home in Hollywood Hills where I offer boarding at a lower cost, though dogs are not attended overnight there. I will bring boarding clients to this home during the day sometimes, with approval from the pet-parent. I previously operated exclusively through referrals and word-of-mouth and am now offering services through Rover. I’m extremely hands-on, attentive, and always present with the dogs in my care. I structure playgroups carefully and can separate dogs based on size, temperament, energy level, or owner preference. Don’t be surprised if your dog learns a new command or trick during their stay. What your dog can expect: • Airtag fitted upon arrival and through duration of care •Decompression upon arrival for first 24 hours • Supervised play and structured daily routines • 5,000 sq ft indoor space plus large outdoor areas to relax and socialize • Walks and enrichment tailored to your dog’s energy level and personality Why clients choose me: • Unique private property in the city • Experience with all breeds, sizes, and temperaments • Calm, safe, structured environment • Extensive rescue and medical care experience Every booking helps support my rescue work ❤️ I am fully dedicated to caring for dogs. Pet Care is my job, so you will have a hands on, attentive caregiver for your fur child. Outside of Pet Care, I am a professional marathon runner and do my runs early in the morning or on my treadmill at home. I am a complete homebody and choose to stay home with dogs, or take them out for a hike. Every dog in my care is equipped with an AirTag for enhanced safety and real-time location protection while on property or during outings. I provide a calm, structured environment on a private, gated property with secure outdoor space and comfortable indoor areas for rest and relaxation. Dogs are supervised at all times and thoughtfully grouped based on size, temperament, and energy level. I also offer private or solo care for dogs who prefer a quieter setting.
About: Hello! I am Kelly & I’m a HUGE animal lover. I have a pup of my own, Sandy. She’s a loving & sweet Maltipoo. I’ve had her since she was only 1 month old & she’s turning 4yrs in late September. Ever since I’ve adopted her, she’s turned my life around in the best way possible. She has made me a dog mom & I wouldn’t want it any other way. She’s very well trained & behaved which is something I’m really proud of. She’s made so many other fur friends & they have play dates very often to help socialize & exercise. These fur friends are pups that I also pup sit whenever my neighbors are out of town, have to go into work, or an emergency suddenly comes up. One of my neighbors has 3 dogs in total & my other neighbors only have 1 dog. My neighbor with 3 dogs has 1 senior pup, 1 adult pup, and 1 2yrs old pup. The senior pup does take medication so whenever I pup sit, I ensure her medication is given to her with no problem. My other neighbors with the 1 pup on the other hand, have a very energetic pup so playtime & walks are crucial. I ensure to take him on long walks around our neighborhood & give him lots of playtime with Sandy - which always ends up in nap time. Looking after them truly brings so much joy to my life & I am very thankful for their parents (my neighbors) trust in me to pup sit their fur babies. I hope I can also gain your trust to pup sit your fur baby. I promise you won’t regret it! 🥰🐾 I currently work from home and have a very flexible schedule which is super convenient to fit in lots of dedication & playtime with your fur baby. I have a fenced front yard at my building complex (which is dog friendly) and most of my neighbors have dogs which are friendly and well behaved. Inside my home I have peed pads for any accidents that may occur & lots of space for comfort.
About: I’ve been training and caring for dogs for over 30 years, starting with my first dog at age 12. Since then, dogs have been a constant part of my life. I’ve owned and cared for German Shepherds, Rottweilers, and Labrador Retrievers, giving me extensive hands-on experience with large breeds, working dogs, and a wide range of personalities and energy levels. Today I share my home with Big, my friendly 120-pound Yellow Labrador Retriever. Big has helped me develop an even deeper understanding of dog behavior, socialization, and creating a calm, structured environment where dogs can feel safe and comfortable. While I am not a certified trainer, I have successfully trained my own dogs in basic obedience, leash manners, recall, crate training, and household routines. I believe consistency, exercise, patience, and clear communication are the foundation of a happy and well-balanced dog. At Big Dog’s House, I provide a boutique home-boarding experience designed around safety, structure, and personalized care. I intentionally keep the number of guest dogs limited so every dog receives individual attention, regular exercise, affection, and supervision. My goal is simple: treat every dog like family and give owners complete peace of mind while they’re away. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or prefers a calm place to relax, they’ll be welcomed into a safe, comfortable home where they can feel like part of the pack. 7:00 AM – Potty break & yard time 7:30 AM – Breakfast 8:00 AM – Neighborhood walk 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM – Supervised free roam & relaxation 12:00 PM – Potty break & enrichment activities 2:00 PM – Free play, backyard time & swimming (weather permitting) 5:00 PM – Evening pack walk 6:00 PM – Dinner 7:00 PM – Family time, lounging & cuddles 9:00 PM – Final potty break 10:00 PM – Bedtime Dog care is already a natural part of my daily routine. I work from home and have built my schedule around providing structure, exercise, supervision, and companionship for the dogs in my care. A typical day starts with a morning potty break, walk, and breakfast. Throughout the day, dogs enjoy supervised indoor and outdoor time, enrichment activities, rest periods, and plenty of attention. I believe dogs thrive on routine, so I maintain a calm, structured environment that helps them feel comfortable and secure while away from home. In the afternoons, dogs have supervised free play and, weather permitting, access to swimming and water play for those who enjoy it. Around 5 PM, we head out for our evening walk before dinner and wind-down time. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I provide a calm, structured home environment where guest dogs become part of the family—not part of a kennel operation. I intentionally limit the number of dogs I host so each guest receives personalized attention, exercise, affection, and supervision throughout the day. Dogs are carefully introduced, monitored during play, and cared for according to their individual routines and needs. My goal is to create a safe, low-stress environment where dogs can relax, have fun, and feel completely at home while you’re away.

“Emmy is a very reliable person. She took our Luna for long walks every day for about 4-5 weeks and sent us nice pics and updates. Too bad she can’t move to San Diego with us :)”
About: I’m an experienced and loving pet sitter with experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages. I’ve also been a proud dog mom to my sweet boy. I treat every pet like family and love making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for!! I’m home most of the time since I take online classes, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for pets. I’m especially available mornings through the afternoon on weekdays. On weekends, I’m available most of the time, especially after 3 PM With previous experience, I provide a calm, clean, and safe environment, follow each pet’s routine, supervise them closely, and give plenty of affection, playtime, and attention.
“Kyle is a true joy to work with. He is a top notch professional who has taken care of Randy, a very energetic 2-year old Border Collie for the past week. Kyle is punctual, courteous and a huge help to us. Randy comes home from his walk happy and tired out. Kyle is now part of our family and we look forward to many more happy times together!”
About: I have been the go-to pet sitter for my friends, families, and neighbors growing up. I worked at a doggy daycare during the summers and home baked dog treats in my spare time. Now I find my days working from home incomplete without a furry friend! I am great with any breed, size, and energy. Excited to give you peace of mind and your pet all the care and attention they need! I currently work from home. My meetings usually happen in the mid morning / afternoon between 10 and 2pm but I have a very flexible schedule. I am very attentive to the needs of the animals I care for. Most of the pets I have taken care of have some degree of separation anxiety so I have gotten accustomed to finding ways to soothe their anxiety weather it’s putting a show on for them, pets and cuddles, or lots of playtime! If your furry friend is shy or timid, no worries! I will let them come to me and treat them with respect and patience.
“Mackenzie watched after my senior dog while I was out of town. She was great - very responsive, punctual and clearly, an animal lover. I had a lot of instructions and she did everything with care and attention. Really appreciate her help!”
“Luba was amazing and her love for animals was apparent as soon she as she walked in. Our dogs were super happy and she was very communicative, on time and very good with jumpy in your face dogs. We will def book her again! Thanks Luba 😊”
“Lovely people - patient with a potty accident that happened while I was at work and cleaned it well. Kept me posted about the upset tummy. Pet my kitty also. ☺️ very responsive”
About: I have had multiple pets from a very young age, and learning how to care for pets was a big part of my life. I specialize in high-energy breeds, but enjoy spending time with any type of animal. I work a remote job, so the entirety of my day can be focused on animals! I’m very big on consistency and reliability, so bathroom breaks and ample walking time are never things that bother me. I’d like to think the pets I’ve boarded have had a luxury experience. I am super thorough and attentive, and love spending time with pets of all shapes and sizes.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs all my life. I own 6 dogs already which I have trained and I’m currently training my 2 yr old dog to be a service dog. I am a full time college student who loves animals. I have 6 dogs myself, 1 which I am training to be a service dog, she is still a puppy. I used to train horses a couple years back so handling any size dog is no problem for me. I can take dogs on walks around the neighborhood throughout the week, on weekends I take my dog hiking in the hills for minimum 2 hours, if you’d like to have your dog have more exercise because they have a lot of energy let me know and I’ll gladly take them with me. I love all animals. I used to rescue small animals and I already have 6 rescue dogs. I always treat them with love, it’s important for animals to trust people and to make sure the pet is happy.
About: My name is Anya and I grew up with dogs, ever since I got my first lil guy on Christmas morning when I was four. I've lived with and cared for four dogs over my life, including my most recent pup, Ajax. He passed in 2022 and you can find his memorial on my profile. I miss him every day but am at peace knowing he had a GREAT life. Dana is my wife and she did not grow up a dog person. But Ajax became her boy as much as he was mine. She fell in love with him and became the most dedicated dog mom, caring for Ajax with walks and giving medicine and grooming him, as well as loving him with SO many cuddles and pets and fetch sessions. Now she points out every dog she sees. We now have a dog that we adopted together - Artemis! She is a cattle dog with the funniest and most stubborn personality and we adore her. We want your pets to feel at home with us - they're allowed on the furniture and in bed (except for cats), where they will receive so much love - or as much love as they want! We have plenty of time to dedicate to them and are comfortable with plenty of walks, playtime, bathing and brushing, giving medicine, specific food, and more. I have a flexible 4-day work week, entirely from home, meaning I have plenty of time to dedicate to pets, from walks to cuddles, playing and bathing! Dana is currently doing Rover full time. However many walks a day your pup needs or want, we can give them. We typically don't make plans for all day or night, though we'll occasionally go to the movies or out to dinner. No matter what, we know the importance of pet care, consistency, and dedication, and that is our top priority. Our flexible schedule allows us to adapt to a pet's schedule and make sure we're there for their needs and to make them as comfortable and loved as possible. We live in a two-bedroom apartment. Dogs will be allowed in every room, cats allowed in every room except the bedroom, and all pets are allowed on furniture. Our neighborhood is quiet and friendly, with lots of safe sidewalks and other dogs. We also have a small dog park (still plenty of room for fetch and playing!) in walking distance that is well-maintained and safe, and we love to take walks there and to the local library across the street. Both Dana and I are sensitive to a pet's need, especially after taking care of Ajax who passed from stomach cancer. Medication, bathing and grooming, diet maintenance, keeping a clean and safe home are all things we strive for and will prioritize for your pet. We have a good knowledge of food safety for pets, as well as keeping anything potentially harmful out of reach and put away. We now have another dog - Artemis, a 3-year-old cattle dog.
“We absolutely love having Bailey as our dog walker! She’s incredibly reliable, patient, and truly cares about the dogs she works with. One of our pups can be a little more challenging, and she has always been so understanding and kind with him. One of my favorite parts is the detailed updates she sends after every walk. They’re thoughtful, funny, and always make me smile—it feels like I get to experience a little piece of their adventure together. I couldn’t recommend her more!”
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: 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: As a lifelong dog owner and devoted animal lover, I understand that your pets are cherished members of your family. My approach to pet care is centered on providing a calm, nurturing, and personalized experience that helps your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Having cared for dogs throughout my life, I am attentive to each pet’s unique personality, routines, and preferences. Whether your companion enjoys long walks, playtime, quiet companionship, or extra affection, I tailor my care to meet their individual needs and help maintain the consistency they are accustomed to at home. I take pride in creating a stress-free experience for both pets and their owners through reliable communication, thoughtful attention to detail, and genuine compassion. My goal is to provide the highest level of care so you can enjoy complete peace of mind knowing your beloved companion is in caring and capable hands. I look forward to building a trusted relationship with you and providing your pet with the same level of love, respect, and attention I give my own. Pet care is already a natural part of my daily life. I work from home, which allows me to be present and attentive throughout the day. My own dog and I enjoy at least four walks around the neighborhood every day, providing plenty of exercise, fresh air, and enrichment. In addition to our daily walks, we go hiking several times a week, and I have a secure fenced courtyard where pets can safely relax, explore, and enjoy time outdoors in the sunshine. Because I am home-based, I can easily accommodate feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, companionship, and any special routines your pet may have. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and strive to create a calm, loving environment where they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. I care for every pet as if they were my own, with a focus on safety, comfort, routine, and plenty of affection. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, preferences, and daily schedule so they can feel as relaxed and secure as possible while their family is away. In my home, pets receive regular walks, supervised outdoor time in my fenced courtyard, playtime, companionship, and lots of love and attention throughout the day. Because I work from home, I am able to provide a calm presence and ensure pets are not left alone for extended periods. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I strive to maintain their normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, exercise, medication (if needed), and any special instructions. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they can have peace of mind knowing their pet is happy, safe, and well cared for. My goal is always to create a positive, stress-free experience where pets feel loved, comfortable, and cared for, whether they are staying with me or I am caring for them in their own home.

About: Hi, my name is Muskan! I work a remote full-time job (flexible hours), so I am able to care for my dog (and hopefully yours) at any time of day.

“Could not be happier with my experience! They are extremely genuine and fun to work with. My two year old German Shepherd seemed very happy and healthy when we picked her up. Will definitely be reaching out again in the future.”
“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.”
“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!”
“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”
“Absolutely loved Nicole! She was great with our pup and sent so many photos and updates that I knew our little one was in good hands. Awesome communication. Highly recommend!”
“Ok so I don’t normally leave reviews but these guys are just the best and I feel bad to gate keep anymore! I know my babygirl and I know when she likes a sitter and when she hates it and she absolutely LOVES these guys. I can tell when she sees them again and when I pick her up and she wants to go back inside that she has received as much love as she gets at home. I also appreciate all thise photos they send while she is with them. Make your reservations ahead of time cause these guys book up fast! I never worry when I leave my furbaby with them and even though I live 2 1/2 hours away from LA now, I still use them when I can.”
“Stacey was great! I had my senior dog with her for two weeks while I was out of the country and it brought me great comfort to know she was in such good hands. I got daily updates telling me how well my dog was doing along with Photos. In spite of the rain, they made it out every day and my dog left very happy. Grateful to have found Stacey!”
“Joanna was very flexible, kind, and attentive for a 4 night boarding! She sent regular photo updates and took my doggo on many walks despite the rainy holiday week. I’m so grateful that I found her and will definitely take Luca back for my future trips!”
“Thank you Annabelle, Ben (and Ranger too) for taking wonderful care of my dog Luna. We will definetly use them again and recommend their service to family and friends. They are patient and kind and opened their home to our rambunctious dog. The photos of her playing, going for walks and "chillin" helped this fur mommy know she was happy and being well cared for.”
“Aimee, Earl and Toby are AWESOME!!!! My normal sitter had an emergency and I had to travel so I reached out. They were so kind and accommodating and we scheduled a quick meet and greet right away. Goldie had a blast and feel asleep as soon as she got in the car. Thank you for being amazing. I will definitely book with them 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.”
“Another wonderful stay! Our pups have the time of their life with Sandi -- from loungy days to exploring in the backyard. Sandi is wonderful if you want reliable, honest and great our small and large dogs.”
“Erin was absolutely amazing looking after my Bailey girl! And Kobe (Erin’s pup) is an absolute sweet gem.. I truly appreciated Erin’s super positive and thoughtful attitude before, during and after Bailey’s stay with her. Erin provided me updates multiple times a day letting me know how Bailey is interacting & adjusting to her new environment along with the cutest most adorable photos! She is super flexible and really caring.. this was my very first time leaving Bailey with someone for a few days and I was so happy to be out at ease because of Erin’s professional and caring attention. I am so happy to have found Erin and will sure be a returning client and recommend Erin to anyone that’s in need of dog care. Huge thanks Erin!”
“I recently moved to the Sherman Oaks area and was so happy that Emma was available at the last minute to help me with watching over my Shih Tzu. I will definitely be reaching out to her again without hesitation! I can definitely count on her!”
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!
“Jessica and Michael boarded my 2 dogs last minute. They were so attentive and sweet to them. Especially one of my dogs came home exhausted from all the play time. I am thankful they were available and that my dogs had a good home while I was traveling.”
“Peter always does a great job with our 2 doggos. It can’t be said enough what incred peace of mind my wife and I have when we know Peter is caring for Duke and Domino.”
About: I will always make sure your pet is the number one in my space, or their own. Love is a universal language that I empathize with all of my clients and their companions! I have no life so feel free to give me one! I miss my family pets back in Michigan and hope that it reflects in the work I perform. I will always maintain clear communication on what your pet needs, when they need it, and keep yours and my space both tidy, clean, and safe of anything that may cause your furry little family any type of distress!
