“Our dog Blue had the best time staying with Dianiris and her family. From the get go, Dianiris responded quickly to texts and was very kind and reassuring (I might have been having a little separation anxiety of my own lol). I really appreciated all of the check-ins and photos she sent while Blue was with her too. Dianiris will definitely be our go-to sitter if we are back in the area!”
“We left our 3+ year dog with Wanda recently. This was our first time trying rover and it seems Wanda loved & pampered our dog a lot! Wanda is in a nice neighborhood in Long beach which made us feel safe leaving our dog with her. She sent pictures throughout & her conversations made us feel she is very experienced with dogs & understands them. Our dog hasn’t been around other dogs so we really appreciated that she only takes 1 client at a time. She made extra effort to make our dog feel comfortable with Gidget as well. We will definitely reach out to Wanda next time we need dog boarding!”
“Nyessa is simply wonderful! The way she cared for my dog was beyond what I could have hoped for. She’s so gentle, kind, and attentive! it felt like leaving my fur baby with family. I’m so thankful for her kindness and can’t wait to book with her again!”
“Wonderful person, she kept me updated the whole time (me and my husband were out for 5 days) Vanessa sent me pictures and videos everyday at all times. Will definitely be requiring her assistance in the future. Totzy misses her!”
“Leiani was great with my Vizsla! I love that she has a V around the same age too so my pup had a buddy! She knew exactly how to handle my baby…the velcroness and energy level. Leiani sent me pics/videos daily during their adventures. I highly recommend Leiani…esp to all the parents of “special” pointers like mine 🤣”
“Sunny is wonderful!!!! She is so sweet and loving! This was the 2nd time she has watched our beloved chihuahuas & the first time that their cousin stayed as we had a family vacation. We were all able to enjoy ourselves and not worry about them at all! She sent pictures and videos that made us all feel they were in the best hands possible. She is such a blessing!”
“Merve was a fantastic cat sitter! I highly recommend her. She was very patient, kind, and caring as my anxious kitty took a few days to warm up and get used to his new settings. She took amazing care of my cat, was very easy to communicate with, and I am so grateful as this was the longest amount of time I was ever away from my cat (3 weeks). Thank you, Merve!”
“We couldn't be happier with the care that my senior pughuahua, Goldie Hawn, received from Isao and Rezairyl. They are truly "animal people," and they treated her like part of their "pack" and sent us photos/updates that assured us she was in good hands. They even made Goldie special treats and washed her little sweater once, since she stayed for over a week during the holidays. When we picked her up she was very calm and happy. Goldie and I couldn't recommend these amazing hoomans more!”
“My dog Lucy a large Goldendoodle loved her time spent with Jennifer . There were a couple of dogs for her to play with and she seemed really happy when we went to pick her up. She never stays with anyone so I’m very happy it went so well . Thank you Jennifer”
“We really appreciated Erin taking such great care of our dog, Finn! He felt right at home with her and her family. He had a blast with the other 4-legged visitors who were staying with her at the time. Finn looked so happy and exhausted in the photo updates from playing all day. Highly recommend! Finn will be a regular visitor with Erin :)”
“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 😊”
“I can’t say enough great things about Diana. My dogs felt right at home from the start, and it was clear they were treated with love and care the entire time. I received updates and photos, and seeing how happy and comfortable they were gave me total peace of mind. It truly felt like a home-away-from-home for them. I highly recommend Diana and will definitely be booking again!”
“Fantastic cat sitter. Available on short notice and took amazing care of 2 cats. She sent frequent updates including pictures and videos, easy to communicate with, and our cats loved her. She was very kind and loving to our boys. We had to go out of town on short notice and she was very open to our needs. Really appreciated will definitely be utilizing her services next time”
“Denise watched our dog for a week over the holidays. She was easily one of the best sitters we’ve ever had. From our first meet and greet, it was clear she was experienced and thoughtful. When we arrived for the meet and greet, she already had water set out and dog toys ready. She asked detailed questions about our dog’s routine and behavior. It was obvious she genuinely wanted to create the best possible environment for him. While we were away, Denise sent more photos and updates than we’ve ever received from a sitter, which we truly appreciated! It helped ease the anxiety I always feel when leaving our dog behind. When we picked him up, he didn’t even seem excited to see us. I’m convinced this was because he was having such a great time that he didn’t want to leave! We will definitely be booking with Denise again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter.”
“Definitely a 5-star experience. Corinne was super responsive and answered all my questions that made me feel comfortable to book. I can definitely say this meet was meant to be. This was my first time leaving my pup, Chanel, with someone new - let alone a new place for several days. (She is super friendly, but since always with me, will cry if she sees me leave her.) As soon as we walked up to their home, Chanel was super curious and happy to go inside, greeting them both with such excitement. They both made me feel at ease. Their beautiful home was perfect for her - with a big bed, toys, and a nice and spacious back yard. I loved the several updates and pictures that were sent to me; it brought so much smiles to see Chanel being such a good girl, and being cared for like they did. I also loved the little report card they gave me at the end. I highly recommend Corinne and Louis, and will definitely book with them again if the opportunity allows. Thank you both so much!”
“Here's a thoughtful message you could use: --- Dear Rachel, I wanted to express my heartfelt gratitude for the extraordinary care you provided for Remington and Shaba. Your kindness and attention to Remi's medical needs truly went above and beyond. Knowing my pups were in such capable and loving hands gave me immense peace of mind. Thank you so much for your compassion and dedication. Respectfully, Rekha, Remi and Shaba”
“Kim and Matthew were excellent caretakers for our pup for a one night stay at their home! We had never used Rover before and we could not have been more pleased. They treated our girl like their own and sent us pictures of her relaxing comfortably which really put our minds at ease. They also have a 10 year old son who played with her. If you are looking for a warm, friendly, responsible and communicative family to care for your pet, look no further! 10/10 highly recommend!!”
“Megan and her family were great! Megan sent me updates throughout the weekend to let me know how things were going. When Remy got dirty from playing outside she gave her bath. Remy came home tired and happy!”

“Laura is a sweet and attentive person who is a pleasure to talk to. The pets all come to greet her when she comes over and she gives them lots of love. She goes above and beyond regarding what I needed and doesn’t rush. Thank you so much.”
“Mary Beth is fabulous! I am so grateful to know we have her to trust with our little minx. It makes the anxiety of leaving town a lot more manageable. Highly recommend Mary Beth! :)”
About: although most of my experience is with dogs, i have a strong connection and admiration for our feline friends. nothing comforts me more than having a cat walk up, rubbing around my legs and purring. i currently do not own any cats but i’d love to get the chance to know yours!
“I'm so thankful to have found Jessica on Rover! She and her family took excellent care of my kitty during their drop in visits. Great communication and she even sent me photos to ensure me that my cat was doing well. I will definitely rebook the next time I travel.”
About: I’ve always had pets growing up and have always pet sat for neighbors and friends. I always stick to your pets scheduled routine. I also genuinely love to spend time with pets other than mine. 😊 I’m currently a full time student at csulb studying Biochem, so I have Fridays and weekends pretty much free! I do however have some gaps in between classes that I could squeeze in pet drop ins. My pets along with clients pets usually stick to or have a schedule that I always like to follow as I find this creates the most amount of comfort for them especially while their parent is away. I love to spend time with pets especially now that I am away from my pets back home for college.
About: I’ve cared for cats for friends, family, and clients, and I know every cat has their own personality and comfort level. I’m patient, gentle, and always happy to give them space when they want it or attention when they’re ready for it. I know it can be stressful trusting someone with your cat and your home, so I make reliability and communication a priority. I’m happy to send updates and photos, follow feeding routines, clean litter boxes, and stick closely to any instructions you leave. My goal is to keep your cat comfortable, relaxed, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Hailie was great. She played with our kitty and cuddled with her. Kitty has a hard time with strangers so the fact that she warmed up to Hailie so quickly says a lot! Will definitely call on her again.”
“Annie was so wonderful- everything you could hope for when you have to be away from your fur babies! I appreciated all the photos and thorough updates- she was also super responsive and just lovely to work with! 🐈”
“Jasmine was really great and kept us constantly updated with lots of pictures. Both of our fur babies got lots of attention and one on one care. She also cleaned up after herself and the animals. When our flight was delayed, she also came back and gave them dinner which we really appreciated!”
“Casey watched our two cats for us while we were away for a long weekend. She was awesome, taking great care of them and also playing with them and keeping us updated with lots of pics! Would happily use her again or recommend her to anyone for catsitting.”
“Sarah checked in on my cat for a week and was great at communicating about her visits with pictures. She gave my cat all of the pets and attention and care that I could have hoped for! Book her for your pet today!”
“Soleil was AMAZING, and I genuinely cannot recommend her enough! She took such wonderful care of Lemon while I was away at a conference, and I never had to worry for a second. She was reliable, communicative, incredibly sweet with Lemon, and just made the whole experience so easy. She also went so far above and beyond what I asked her to do. I came home and realized she had cleaned my cat’s litter box AND taken out the trash—neither of which was remotely part of our arrangement! It was such a thoughtful surprise after a long trip, and honestly just says so much about the kind of person she is. I came home to happy pets and a home that had clearly been really cared for, which is about the best feeling you can have after traveling. Soleil is kind, thoughtful, dependable, and an absolute gem. I would hire her again in a heartbeat and would recommend her to basically anyone who will listen. Lemon and I are officially huge Soleil fans!”
“Megan and her family provided exceptional care for Ollie, ensuring he was treated as one of their own. If you are feeling anxious about leaving your pets, rest assured that they are in good hands. I was in a bind and they came through for me. Thank you very much! I will use services again. 😇”
“Denise was awesome. She was super flexible with timing, very thorough and thoughtful in our meet and greet, and sent great updates throughout the day! Nora came back happy and relaxed.”
“Shannon was so sweet and able to take my cat last minute for an overnight stay. My cat felt very comfortable and immediately acclimated to her home. She sent photo updates and responded quickly! I’d definitely book again.”
About: Lifelong cat person here! I grew up with cats and have a genuine love and understanding of feline personalities. Anyone who has spent real time with cats knows they live life on their own terms, and I've learned to speak their language. I know how to read body language, respect boundaries, and create a calm space where even the shyest cat can feel comfortable. I've cared for friends' cats on multiple occasions and bring that same trusted, attentive care to every home I visit. Your cat stays in their own familiar space, on their own schedule, with someone who truly gets them.

“Makenna was amazing! She was able to accommodate a last-minute, same-day booking, which we really appreciated. She was kind, a great communicator, and sent us lots of updates/pictures throughout our dog’s stay. We felt our senior dog was in great hands! We’d definitely book with her again!”
“Kayla is an amazing dog sitter! She has excellent communication & sent several pictures throughout the day. She was also very flexible with a last minute request and went above and beyond with walks, ensuring that my fur baby was nice and tired. Would absolutely recommend!!!”
About: I used to have 27 cats and 2 dogs in my apartment. Many of them are picked up from the street or sick. After I work with the pet doctor, I training them, and help the autism and mental disabled people and seniors people. I am currently working part time, so I have plenty of time to play with your pups! I am available on weekends and weeks day. My apartment has no other pet right now! And All the animals like me, and I have so many years experience with pet. I can easily get along with good relationships with your pets.
“We are so grateful to have found Jessica! She and her family take excellent care of our dog, Sonny, and we feel completely comfortable leaving him in her very capable hands when we need to be away. She provides excellent communication and updates and it’s clear that Sonny is having a wonderful time when he’s with her!”
“Sean was great. Athena is high energy and took her on many walks. The pictures received shows she was comfortable in the home, and received updates throughout the day. I am very thankful of the service provided and would absolutely recommend them.”
“I would highly recommend Jacquelyn! She was very good with both of my young Rhodesian Ridgebacks, she was great with communication and flexibility. This was the first time I had left my young dogs somewhere other than home and with a new person, using positive training methods and a kind heart she set them up for a good experience. We are very grateful!”
“Denise was such a lifesaver! I had a sitter cancel last-minute before a work event and Denise stepped in and saved the day! She immediately put me at ease when meeting her and she has the perfect setup for my senior dog who is starting to need bathroom breaks more often. She kept me updated and sent me pictures throughout the day so I was never worried about my pup. 10/10 will book her again!!”
“Lisa and her family were wonderful for our Tika! She went on a couple of walks, met school age kids and visited a lemonade stand. Lisa updated me with pictures throughout the day! Tika was loved and had a great day! We highly recommend Lisa and her family for your fur babies care!”
About: I grew up with a mini dachshund and currently have a pug. I pet sit all the time for friends and family, including my sister who has a dog, 2 cats, 2 rabbits, fish, and the list keeps going. I've pet sat both at my apartment and house sat in a pet's home. At my apartment, I've dog sat for up to a month! My little pug loves having a new buddy around to play, go on walks, and snuggle with. My pug is my life. I work from home and she's always by my side, following me everywhere. Every morning we go for a walk around the Naples canals in Long Beach after she has her breakfast. During the day, she mostly snuggles on my lap or entertains herself if we don't have another buddy visiting us. We take breaks to get fresh air and take potty breaks at the beach. In the afternoon, we'll usually go on a shorter walk before or after dinner. I try to take her with me anywhere I go, even if it's just a short errand where she can enjoy a car ride. On the occasions I can't take her with me, she has full reign of the apartment, but I think she spends most of her time snuggled on the couch with soft blankets and pillow. When I need to be away from her for longer than usual, I usually coordinate to have her visit one of her nearby buddies or stay with my mom & sister where she gets to play with little my niece and nephew, their dog, and enjoy being around lots of other free roaming animals (chickens, bunnies, cats) If I'm at a client's home, I ensure I'm informed about all the places the pet(s) like to go, where their favorite toys are, and where their food & medicine is. If I'm pet sitting for an extended period of time, or more than just a daily check-in, my pug will be with me. She loves being around big dogs or small dogs, is very submissive, loves to play, but is also ok giving space if the other pet is not interested. If a backyard is available, I love to be outdoors and get the dogs some exercise by playing ball or tag. If an enclosed area isn't available, your dog will always be leashed. On walks, I'm conscientious about our surroundings. I pay attention to any rogue "snacks" in our path and other dogs approaching. I always ask another dog owner if their dog is friendly and if mine can say hi. If they're not, it's no problem! We'll continue on and cross the street if need be. My walks with my pug tend to be longer in time and fairly slow moving, making lots of stops to sniff. Sniffing is an important activity for any dog, and expends a lot of energy, so I stop as long as my dog wants to sniff at certain spot so she can get her fill. I'll treat your dog with the same respect and care as I provide my own.
“Megan is amazing!!! My dogs (9 and 3 month old poodles) loved staying at her house and her kids are the absolute sweetest and they played with my puppies. My puppies both just adore playing with kids. We will book Megan again anytime we need a sitter. She kept me updated and sent lots of pictures. Highly reliable and I felt very relaxed knowing my puppies were tested like family.”
About: Hi everyone I’m new to Rover but I would love to give your dog the best day ever! I’ve been lucky enough to have dogs my entire life as my background. Now I have two mini dachshunds of my own that are the sweetest and goofy boys. I took time off work when I got chili (first pup) to ensure he was trained from day one and well taken care of. Went back to work for another year and now have decided to quit my corporate job because I wasn’t fulfilled to now pursue this career full time. Since I’m new I have cheap prices to build myself up but my goal is to start my own doggy day care full time. If you can help me with my dream that would be so appreciated! Please reach out if you have any questions, I will be happy to connect. :) I have a dog of my own so taking care of him everyday and any minute I’m home. I have a hybrid job so depending on the day but he is walked before I leave and as soon as I get back. I always make sure he is fed, walked, played with, and he gets tons of cuddles more than he probably wants. I will care for them in every way that the owner says or the pets needs. I’m structured, understanding, and flexible. If you leave me a list of to do or specific requirements I will make sure they get done and on time. I’m healthy young adult who has no problem playing or taking a dog on a long walk.
“Treana went out of her way to care for my two dogs. I needed someone last minute and she was able to help me out. By far the best sitter I’ve experienced, she updated me throughout the day with photos/videos. She was very communicative and responded quick. She took our dogs to the beach. She fed them and was able to give my dog the medicine he needed. Whenever we are in town we will definitely use her again. She exceeded my expectations by far! I felt really comfortable being out all day knowing my dogs were being well cared for so thank you so much!”
“Vanessa was great. We had a family emergency and were out of town. She allowed a meet and greet on short notice. She was very communicative and helped care for my timid dog. It helped me be more at ease knowing my dog was in good hands while tending to our family and being gone for a whole day.”
About: I enjoy spending lots of time playing, walking and even a little training. I have also had senior dogs that need a little extra care and attention. I am recently unemployed and have lots of time available. I would love nothing more than to help as many pets/pet parents as I can. Dogs can enjoy lots of play time and walks as well as maybe a little place time and snacks. I have had senior dogs as well that just need some down time and cuddles. I have a big fenced in backyard that allows for lots of playtime or maybe some rest in the shade.
“A perfect experience! I am always very anxious to have anyone new watch my dog but Ebony soothed my fears and made sure Bodhi was taking care of! I am so happy I found someone I can trust to watch him in the future, 10/10 recommend :)”
“As always, Dexter was a very happy boy hanging with his friends, so much so he ran back into the room with Nick and Mika. He wanted to stay! Thank you for taking such good care of him!”
“Heather is super caring and dog friendly. My dog Sokka knows when we pull up to her house because gets super excited and whiny. He fairly launches out of the car to get to her door.”
“Monique has taken care of our dog Baxter multiple times over the past few months. She always provides great care and Baxter loves staying with her. Thank you so much.”

About: I have owned many animals my whole lifee, so I have plenty of experience with animal care. I’ve pet sat for many neighbours as well as family and friends on multiple occasions and absolutely enjoy spending time with animals of all kinds!! :)) I am available all days of the week for long or quick check ins, and walks. I do have class just for an hour twice a week. But that’s guaranteed not to intervene with any sitting time!! When checking in on your fur baby, I’ll be sure they’re well fed, hydrated, and gets lots of play time and plenty of attention. I’ll be taking care of any special requests for your pets if needed!!
About: Animal lover for life! Growing up with cats and dogs gave me an early foundation in animal care and communication (the non-psychic kind 😄). For the past three years, I've volunteered with Guide Dogs of America, socializing and training puppies from 4 to 8 weeks old. This work has deepened my understanding of dog behavior, development, and trust-building from the very earliest stages of life. Cats hold a special place in my heart too. Years of living with them taught me how to read feline body language, respect their independence, and create a calm space where they can be comfortable. Friends and family turn to me as their go-to sitter, and I bring that same dependable, loving care to every animal I meet. I come to your home, keeping your pet in their own familiar environment so they stay relaxed, comfortable, and stress-free while you're away. As a yoga and piano teacher, my schedule gives me plenty of flexibility throughout the week. I have two dedicated teaching days where my availability is limited, but the rest of the week I have generous windows of free time- perfect for popping in, spending quality time with your pet, and making sure they feel loved. Since I provide in-home sitting, your pet stays in their own familiar environment the entire time. I follow your established routines: feeding schedules, walk times, sleep spots, and any special instructions you leave. I treat every home with respect and keep safety a top priority, making sure gates, doors, and any pet-proofing measures stay in place throughout my visit. Your pet's comfort and security always come first.
“Carrie has been so fantastic with my baby, she is so thorough and really gets to know my pup. I feel so comforted in the fact that she is well taken care of on her afternoon walks. I will definitely be booking again in the future :)”
“We had an amazing experience with Bonnie! She’s super nice and clearly has a genuine love for dog. Smithy absolutely adored her! She was always punctual, reliable, and fantastic at communicating. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker!”
About: I’ve spent much of my adult life in roles where people trusted me with things that mattered to them like their homes, businesses, teams and even careers. I spent my undergraduate years as an Assistant Property Manager before becoming an LAX operations leader and former full-time recruiter, and I bring that same sense of responsibility to more than 10 years of caring for pets. I have especially good experience with senior animals: more than half of the dogs and cats I’ve cared for have been seniors. I love their personalities and am comfortable adjusting to slower walks, medication schedules, established routines and the little preferences that become especially important as pets get older. Even re-potty training them! At the other end of the spectrum, I’m an active person and outrigger paddler, so energetic dogs are very welcome too. Long walks, play and outdoor time fit my lifestyle after having been in grad school in upstate New York. My approach is individualized. My experience has taught me how much better the outcome is when you listen first, ask good questions and understand what constitutes a good fit. Pets aren’t any different. I want to learn their personality and normal routine so I can meet them where they are. My goal is for you to come home thinking, "My pets and home are happy, healthy, safe and ready for me to come back without skipping a beat." My schedule is flexible, and I plan my day around each pet’s routine. I often work from my computer remotely during the day and have broad availability for walks, drop-ins and house sitting. I do have activities outside the home, including early-morning outrigger paddling, but I make sure feeding, potty breaks, medication and other important routines are taken care of first. For house sitting, I’m generally a good fit for pets who are comfortable alone for 4–6 hours at a time, or longer when that is already part of their normal routine. I’m happy to talk through your pet’s schedule before booking and adjust where I reasonably can. I like to begin with a meet-and-greet so I can understand your pet’s normal behavior, routine, medications, household setup and emergency plan before care begins. I review instructions carefully and ask questions upfront that may include how you want me to communicate if something unexpected happens. I pay attention to changes that can be easy to miss, from unusual itching or appetite changes to changes in energy, bathroom habits or behavior, and I’ll let you know when something seems out of the ordinary. I’m equally conscientious with the home itself. I’m a “leave it better than you found it” person. I keep the spaces I use tidy, handle mail and packages according to your preferences, take out trash, water plants and care for linens when appropriate. If you already have cleaners, gardeners or other small business service providers, I’m happy to work around the systems you already have.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and have taken care of everything from the puppy months to the teenage years and into the senior stages. I love dogs and am looking to add as many fun and furry new friends into my days as possible. Let me be your doggies new best friend! I have a small fenced run and live where there is plenty of access to safe walking spaces so your dog will be well cared for and be able to stay active.
About: I’ve been dog sitting since I was 16 for friends, family, and online clients, and I genuinely love being around animals. I’m responsible, respectful, and very attentive to each pet’s routine and personality. I know trusting someone with your pet — and sometimes your home — is a big deal, so I always make communication and reliability a priority. I’m happy to send plenty of updates and photos, follow any instructions you leave, and make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable while you’re away. Whether they love walks, playtime, or just hanging out, I’ll treat your pet with the same care and attention I’d want for my own. I’m a college student with a pretty flexible schedule, and I have my own car, so getting back and forth for pet care is never an issue. I’m always willing to make the trip to make sure your pet gets the attention, walks, feeding, and care they need. I also work part-time, but my shifts are typically only 3–4 hours, so I’m never away for long periods of time. I’m great at planning around my classes and work schedule and making pet care a priority! Safety, Trust & Environment I always try to keep pets as close to their normal routine as possible so they feel comfortable and safe. I follow all feeding, walking, medication, and care instructions closely, and I make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and affection based on their personality! When I’m in a client’s home, I’m also very respectful of their space and make sure everything is kept clean and secure. I’ll always communicate clearly, send updates and photos, and make sure you feel confident that both your pet and your home are being well taken care of!
About: I've been around dogs my entire life and have over a year of hands-on pet sitting experience caring for my sister's two large, high-energy dogs. They are Husky/German Shepherd mixes (one also has Malamute and Wolf ancestry) and require consistent structure, exercise, and attention. I'm comfortable following strict feeding, potty, walking, and medication schedules, maintaining routines, and providing plenty of playtime and enrichment. Having cared for large, energetic breeds, I'm confident handling dogs with strong personalities and high exercise needs while ensuring they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or simply wants companionship, I'll treat them with the same care and attention I'd give my own pets. I work remotely with a flexible schedule, allowing me to spend plenty of quality time with your pets throughout the day. Whether your pet needs company while you're away, regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, or simply someone to keep them comfortable, I can easily fit their routine into my workday. I'm available for house sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking, and I'm committed to following your pet's schedule to help them feel happy, safe, and stress-free. Your pet's safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. I believe every pet deserves patient, attentive care, and I'll treat yours as if they were my own. Having cared for dogs my entire life—including regularly watching my sister's two large, high-energy Husky/German Shepherd mixes—I understand the importance of consistency, exercise, and positive attention. While house sitting, I work remotely, so your pets won't be left alone for long periods and can enjoy plenty of companionship throughout the day. I'll carefully follow your instructions, respect your home, and provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your furry family member is in good hands.
About: I have been taking care of many animals all my life. I have taken care of pretty much every pet you can think of from pigeons, cats, dogs, lizards, bunnies, all, and all the way to horses and cows. Needless to say I have a lot of experience and would love to help out in anyway I can! I am a member of the United States Coast Guard, and have a pretty set schedule Monday through Thursday. I am able to do mornings before nine and afternoons after two. I will not be able to take animals back to my place unfortunately seeing as my apartment has strict rules against animals being in my apartment complex complex
About: Hi, my name is Nelson. I'm very good with dogs and cats! I have three husky mixed dogs myself and I'm very active with them. I'm very open and flexible. Willing to go above and beyond for your dog or cat! I'm able to take your dog on walks throughout the day. I can host your dog at my house and have play dates if you'd like. I am also willing to do stop by's or even dog sit at your location. I currently work from home so I am very flexible with my time and able to adjust things as needed to benefit you. I am comfortable working with any size dog and also willing to work with cats as well. I am very quick to reply and also always sending updates if requested
“It is very difficult to trust people with your dog. Popi was wonderful! Great communication, punctual, and handled my sometimes difficult big dogs well! I would highly recommend her and would book again in the future!”
About: Big heart, gentle hands, and plenty of treats! I’m dedicated to providing a fun, stress-free environment for your pets. Whether it’s long walks or cozy cuddles, your fur baby will be in the best of care with me. Full-time care for your best friend! Because I’m a stay-at-home mom, I have the flexibility to provide around-the-clock attention. Our typical day includes cozy indoor playtime and daily neighborhood walks with my baby in tow. It’s the perfect environment for pets who love a consistent routine and a family atmosphere. I can't wait to welcome your pup into our daily adventures! I’m a firm believer that pets are family! When your fur baby stays with me, they get full access to cuddles on the couch and endless yard fun (fenced).

You can expect plenty of photo updates, quick communication, and one very happy pet upon your return!
About: 🦮🐕🦺🐕🐩🐕🦺🦮 Dog Experience 🦮🐕🦺🐩🐕🐕🦺🦮 I have experience caring for a wide range of dogs, including pit bulls, german shepherds, huskies, english bullterriers, bulldogs, poodles, and american bullies. I’ve raised and trained my current dog (Bruce Wayne) from a puppy and cared for my previous dog (Stella Rose) through all stages of life. Stella died from pancriatic cancer, giving me experience with senior care as well. I’m comfortable with all temperaments and energy levels, from high-energy dogs (like Bruce Wayne) to low energy dogs and older pets (like Stella Rose). 🐈⬛🐟🦜🐸🐢 Other Pet Experience 🐢🐸🦜🐟🐈⬛ I have experience with all different kinds of animals, from cats, to reptiles and aquatic pets. I particuarly have experience with cats, pac-man frogs, suckerfish, shrimp, pond fish, my grandmother's evil sun conure & golden jenday mixed bird, and turtles. Even though I don't have much experience with hamsters, mice, snakes, spiders, lizards and other animals, I am comfortable with all of them & feeding them their respective meals (live or dried). 🫶🏻 ✨✨✨✨✨✨ About Me ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨ I’m very patient and understanding with all pets. I’ve worked with shy, agressive & what many would consider to be straight up evil (my grandmothers bird) animals, earning their trust over time. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. Sometimes pets can have a difficult time eating because of how much they miss their owners. If this happens (& if it's okay with the owners) I'll typically hand feed them to make sure your pet is getting the nutrition they need while your away. 🫶🏻 ⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰ Schedule ⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰ I’m currently a college student at CSULB with a pretty consistent class schedule & outside of school activities, which allows me to plan my pet care visits according to that. Depending on the day I’m typically available in the afternoons, evenings, and weekends, and I make sure to schedule my time so pets receive all the attention, walks, and care that they need. I’m dependable and communicate clearly if anything in my schedule changes. Right now I'm on summer break so I'm available almost all the time! 🫶🏻 🏠🏠🏠🏠🏠🏠 Enviornment 🏠🏠🏠🏠🏠🏠 I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every pet. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions, including feeding routines, exercise, and any specific needs. I’m attentive to behavior and prioratize making sure pets feel secure in their own home. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos for peace of mind while they’re away.
About: I've always had a strong love for animals. Whether soft or scaly, feathered or fluffy, animals make life special and more meaningful. My love for pets started with a cat, then a hamster, more cats, dogs, and a fish here and there... Nowadays you’ll probably find me with my two orange cats and a Scooby Doo dog. In addition to drop-ins and sittings, my pet/animal care experience includes volunteering at PetSmart and the SPCA of Long Beach. It’s been a joy to care for all the many pets and animals throughout my life! I work full time Monday through Friday but am open some weeknights after 5pm. I’m also available on some weekends and holidays. My pet care routine includes feeding, walking, grooming, and playing. I love feeding and giving them treats, playing, and going for walks. I also love downtime and cuddling. I will follow your care instructions, be respectful of your home, and provide detailed updates on how your pet is doing.
“I had Alie come to my house to walk my dog while I was at work and she did a wonderful job earning the trust of my dog that was slightly fearful of a stranger. Very happy with her service and plan to rebook. :)”
About: I’ve been pet sitting for 20+ years and have yet to meet a dog I don’t enjoy. I love their unique personalities and caring for them. I have a light work from home schedule, so I’ll be with your dog most of the time (with the possible exception of a quick run to the store/errand). I have a dog of my own who I walk, hike, play with, and take to the dog park regularly. I’d be happy to have another pup to take on outings, if appropriate. I have a fenced balcony and live in a very peaceful, walkable area. My house is open to the dogs (except for the kitchen, which I’ve blocked off because my dog will jump high to grab snacks). My dog is friendly and a bit aloof; he mostly keeps to himself and enjoys having the company of other dogs. Should anything happen, I live within 5-10 minutes of at least 3 veterinary hospitals.
About: Hi! We are Brandon and Gabriella! We have two Siberian Huskies(Brooklyn and King). They are 8 and 7 years old respectively. We’ve had them since puppies and have also trained them. Gabriella and I know how hard it is to find trusting care and we promise to provide the same level of care as we do our own huskies. We will always be time and provide photos! We also work at home full time. This allows us to care for your pet during the day. Whether at my complex or in your home. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to reach out and ask! Thanks for reading my profile! Since we currently are work from home, we are able to walk, feed, play, and tend to all your pets needs! Our Siberian huskies will also lend a hand :). Our dogs are well trained on and off the leash. They receive 5/6 walks a day and play time at the local park. If trusted to take care of your pet, we will provide the same level or care and detail we do with our furry friends!
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life. I love them. I used to work at a dog rescue where I cared for all types of dog. Now, I walk dogs in Sunset Beach. If you live here, you’ve probably seen me on the green belt or in Bolsa Chica. Reviews from established Sunset Beach clients are available upon request. I’m happy to work around your schedule. Please just give me as much notice as you can. I plan to work with repeat clients so real trust can be built over time. So, please book me quickly if you are looking for a long-term local option. Safety is my #1 priority. Your dog will have a great time with me because I treat them like family. That will give you peace of mind while they are in my care.

“Our dog Blue had the best time staying with Dianiris and her family. From the get go, Dianiris responded quickly to texts and was very kind and reassuring (I might have been having a little separation anxiety of my own lol). I really appreciated all of the check-ins and photos she sent while Blue was with her too. Dianiris will definitely be our go-to sitter if we are back in the area!”
“Wonderful person, she kept me updated the whole time (me and my husband were out for 5 days) Vanessa sent me pictures and videos everyday at all times. Will definitely be requiring her assistance in the future. Totzy misses her!”
“Leiani was great with my Vizsla! I love that she has a V around the same age too so my pup had a buddy! She knew exactly how to handle my baby…the velcroness and energy level. Leiani sent me pics/videos daily during their adventures. I highly recommend Leiani…esp to all the parents of “special” pointers like mine 🤣”
“Sunny is wonderful!!!! She is so sweet and loving! This was the 2nd time she has watched our beloved chihuahuas & the first time that their cousin stayed as we had a family vacation. We were all able to enjoy ourselves and not worry about them at all! She sent pictures and videos that made us all feel they were in the best hands possible. She is such a blessing!”
“My dog Lucy a large Goldendoodle loved her time spent with Jennifer . There were a couple of dogs for her to play with and she seemed really happy when we went to pick her up. She never stays with anyone so I’m very happy it went so well . Thank you Jennifer”
“We really appreciated Erin taking such great care of our dog, Finn! He felt right at home with her and her family. He had a blast with the other 4-legged visitors who were staying with her at the time. Finn looked so happy and exhausted in the photo updates from playing all day. Highly recommend! Finn will be a regular visitor with Erin :)”
“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 😊”
“Denise watched our dog for a week over the holidays. She was easily one of the best sitters we’ve ever had. From our first meet and greet, it was clear she was experienced and thoughtful. When we arrived for the meet and greet, she already had water set out and dog toys ready. She asked detailed questions about our dog’s routine and behavior. It was obvious she genuinely wanted to create the best possible environment for him. While we were away, Denise sent more photos and updates than we’ve ever received from a sitter, which we truly appreciated! It helped ease the anxiety I always feel when leaving our dog behind. When we picked him up, he didn’t even seem excited to see us. I’m convinced this was because he was having such a great time that he didn’t want to leave! We will definitely be booking with Denise again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter.”
“Definitely a 5-star experience. Corinne was super responsive and answered all my questions that made me feel comfortable to book. I can definitely say this meet was meant to be. This was my first time leaving my pup, Chanel, with someone new - let alone a new place for several days. (She is super friendly, but since always with me, will cry if she sees me leave her.) As soon as we walked up to their home, Chanel was super curious and happy to go inside, greeting them both with such excitement. They both made me feel at ease. Their beautiful home was perfect for her - with a big bed, toys, and a nice and spacious back yard. I loved the several updates and pictures that were sent to me; it brought so much smiles to see Chanel being such a good girl, and being cared for like they did. I also loved the little report card they gave me at the end. I highly recommend Corinne and Louis, and will definitely book with them again if the opportunity allows. Thank you both so much!”
“Kim and Matthew were excellent caretakers for our pup for a one night stay at their home! We had never used Rover before and we could not have been more pleased. They treated our girl like their own and sent us pictures of her relaxing comfortably which really put our minds at ease. They also have a 10 year old son who played with her. If you are looking for a warm, friendly, responsible and communicative family to care for your pet, look no further! 10/10 highly recommend!!”
“We love Monique and her family. This is our 2nd booking with her and she and her family took Biggie in as their own for a few weeks while we were on vacation. She is always responsive and attentive to Biggie and his needs as a Frenchie. We could tell how happy he was with the pictures and he didn't want to leave when he got picked up. I recommend her to anyone and look forward to see them again and entrusting Biggie in great hands. Thank you so much to Monique and her family. <3 Biggie Ingrid and Patrick”
“Jeff and Tammy did a wonderful job caring for my senior girl Addie. At 11 years old I am nervous leaving her in general but with immediate family overseas I was gone longer than ever this time and needed a caring gentle home for her. They are experienced and loving and provided her with the same routine she has at home. Their sweet senior dog Nicholas was a good match for her as she doesn't usually enjoy overly rambunctious pups. They administered her eye drops twice a day and gave her the walks she loves. I got regular updates and pictures. I would highly recommend them! Thanks Jeff and Tammy.”
“Great family. I felt very confident leaving my dog, Apollo with them for 5 days. Carrie kept me updated with videos & pictures and his overall behavior. So I knew he was comfortable and happy. I highly recommend this wonderful family. Apollo had a great time.”
“Sarah took such good care of Ellie. Ellie is a rescue who has big trust issues. Sarah has such a calm and loving demeanor and I believe that Ellie felt safe right way. Sarah's little guy Max was so friendly and welcoming to Ellie. Thank you so very much Sarah! Bob and Linda Murphy”
“Laura was absolutely amazing! She took such good care of our pup while we were out of the country for a few weeks. We were nervous, as this was our first time leaving our pet with someone since we got her, but Laura made us feel comfortable and sent us daily photo updates and status updates which were greatly appreciated. Would recommend and use Laura again in a heartbeat!”
“Donovan is great, perfect boarding option for our dogs. We travel a lot and plan to continue requesting Donovan’s services. It can be scary leaving your dogs with a stranger, but we felt comfortable with the setup right away, including access to the yard and Donovan’s home.”
“Maria was absolutely incredible with our dog. We couldn’t be happier! She sends plenty of photos throughout each day and you can tell she genuinely cares for the dogs and treats them with love and care. Will definitely be coming back!”
“Marlo is truly wonderful. She loves our pup as much as we do, and when he visits her, he has the BEST time! Something we really appreciate about Marlo, is the frequent updates, photos, and videos. We miss our boy so much when we travel, but it is wonderful to get the updates and see what an awesome time he is having.”
