“Jennifer was an absolute pleasure to work with. I could tell our two pups felt safe and were taken care of. They were completely at ease and wagging tails when we picked them up! I got plenty of updates and photos throughout the weekend which is always appreciated. We will absolutely have Jennifer watch them again!😊🐶”
“What a wonderful family! Daisy was well cared for and loved on. I appreciate all the videos and great communication during Daisy's stay. Daisy enjoyed her time. Looking forward to her next stay.”
“This was the second time I boarded with Nadege and yet again she provided an awesome time for my dog while I was away. She responded quickly and promptly to my last-minute booking and was able to accommodate us. My dog loves his time at her place and even perked up with excitement when we got close. I will continue to use Nadege as long as shes available for all my boarding needs.”
“April and her husband are amazing! Great communication and I received quality pictures and videos! The updates made me feel at ease. I could see that Mei Mei was enjoying herself and learned that she’s a natural guard for babies?! I appreciated the attentiveness and care they gave to her. Thank you for being flexible and patient with me as I adjusted the drop off time and ended up experiencing a delay en route. 🙏🏽 I would definitely book again and have peace of mind knowing she was well taken cared of. Good energy and dog lovers for sure. Definitely worth 🐾 - pawsing and considering. 😆 Thank you again! 🌼”
“Lucinda took wonderful care of our dog Kona while we were away! She sent daily photo updates, kept us in the loop throughout the stay, and was always quick to respond to messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear our pup was well cared for and happy. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Lucinda again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, communicative, and thoughtful sitter!”
“Carmen was wonderful with my little princess. She took great care of her and I feel like she listened to me and was very good at communication with me while she was taking care of Uma. Thank you Carmen”

“Once again, Frida had a blast with Amorn and Adam. I can tell these two just have big hearts for dogs. Frida gets treated like the princess she so clearly thinks she is. I also love that she's getting to meet and play with other dogs. Thanks again for your time and care and the great pics and communication. Will see you next time.”
“Anebelle and Ben were amazing. They accommodated tedious different diet needs of our two dogs. They treated our dogs like their own; cuddling with them in bed, taking them on long walks, and keeping them entertained through out. Annabelle and Ben’s kids also made our dogs feel at home and showered them with affection. Annabelle also made sure to send daily updates with pictures and videos, allowing us to enjoy our vacation guilt-free. Needless to say, Annabelle and Ben will be our go to”

“It can be so nerve racking leaving a working breed dog with anyone, but Jonathan is amazing. He sent lots of amazing pictures of their adventures and really put my mind at ease. He’s so calm and really seems to just love being around dogs. Couldn’t recommend him more!”
“This was our second time having our Doberman puppy stay with them and it just confirmed everything we already knew. They take the best care of him and their communication while we are away is amazing. We feel at peace knowing they take the best care of Desmond while we are away.”
“Roxy is our go to sitter for our little guy Waffle. He adores her and just loves playing with all the other little pups during his stay. He is an extra cuddly ham and gets worried when he’s away from his family but Roxy always gives him extra love so he can enjoy his time away. We know Waffle is well loved & cared for and it gives us peace of mind while we are traveling.”
“Ryder absolutely loved his time with Colin! We had something unexpected come up and needed a very last minute Dog Sitter and Colin was incredibly accommodating! He went out of his way to walk him at a specific requested time so that we could make pick up and getting home easier on our schedules! Will definitely be using again!”
“As always, Melissa and Alexis are my go to for the care of Desmond? They are fantastic! I trust them completely. They are Desmond's home away from home. Thank you so much.❤️”

“Ashton and Jay were amazing with our normally anxious Chihuahua mix, Rosie. They came for an in home visit on their own time to meet her and put her at ease, were clear about what to bring to their place to make her more comfortable, and then at drop off were completely focused and engaged with her to make her first moments playful and fun. They gave daily updates with photos and then when we had a family emergency, were even kind enough to accommodate last minute extensions and changes to the reservation. We would 100% board Rosie with them again. She had so much fun and Ashton and Jay were genuinely sad to see her go on the last day. Thank you Ashton and Jay!”
“Rachel and Preston sent daily videos/pics and updates and took great care of Moki. He even received a Christmas plushie during his stay over the holidays. Thank you!!”

“So so so awesome! Kendyl was AMAZING! my Fiancé 💍 and I got married over the weekend and last minute booked for a sitter and we got Kendyl. She sent pictures every time, updated us about everything and our cats loved her! We’re very grateful for her services and will be contacting her in the future for any pet sitting needs. I would highly recommend anybody looking into using Rover do the same.😁🙌🏼”
“Oh my gosh. I cannot recommend Fallon enough. She was just SUCH a blessing to have. I haven’t used Rover in a long time because of a past experience but Fallon is the real deal! Exactly what you’d hope for from a pet sitter. She goes ABOVE and beyond with her care and communication. I truly feel like I can’t leave my babies with anyone else anymore. We have tortoises, flowers, and 4 cats. One of them is super skiddish and she extended so much empathy to him until he warmed up to her. And she nailed it all! The biggest of thank yous from my family to Fallon! We will definitely be seeing her again as my cats already miss her! 🥰”

About: I have had cats in my life since the day I was born and currently care for five of my own. Over the years, I have gained experience with cats of all ages, from newborn kittens to senior cats. I have helped raise every one of my cats from the time they were separated from their mother, giving me hands-on experience with feeding, socialization, litter training, and daily care. I understand that every cat has a unique personality and needs patience, attention, and love. As a lifelong animal lover, I am comfortable caring for playful kittens, adult cats, and older cats who may need extra attention and support
“Aurelie was amazing with our kitty! We were a little nervous to leave our cat for the first time in a new place, but once we met Aurelie all of our worries ceased. She’s incredibly respectful of space and was so sweet and wonderful with our little buddy. We’d have her back in an instant.”
“Sanaz was great to my boys. she took the best care of my two cats. they loved her from day one, even Marvin who is more skittish, came out to say hi to her. very responsible and sent me lots of pictures! I will be rebooking her again for sure.”
“Kathleen was awesome! She was very communicative throughout caring for my kitties, punctual and very respectful of my space and care for my babies while I was away. She was such a great sitter and will definitely use her again in the future. Thank you!!”

“Gianna did an incredible job watching our three cats and we have now found a new permanent cat sitter! She did an excellent job updating us on the cats and sending a lot of pictures that eased our mind while away on vacation. If you want to travel without the struggle of worrying about your pets, Gianna is for you!”
“Leyla was fantastic! She not only took very good care of my two kitties (including sending detailed pictures, videos, and descriptions of her visits) but she also went above and beyond to take care of the unpredictable actions of my curious cats, too, without being asked. Extremely grateful and confident in the care for my animals while I was away. Will definitely rebook and recommend without any reservations!”
About: My friends have cats and they often jump up on me and take a little purring nap. I’ve really only known chill cats but my brothers ex’s cat was a Velcro cat that would always want to cuddle with me when I was over those are my favorite kinds of kitties.
About: My roommates in college had two cats. One was outdoor and one was indoor. They were pretty easy and I loved to play with them!

About: My partner and I are experienced cat owners and currently have a cat of our own, so we understand how important it is to create a calm, safe, and low-stress environment. We know that every cat has a unique personality, and we take the time to respect their space, routines, and comfort levels. We’re experienced with feeding schedules, litter box maintenance, playtime, and recognizing subtle changes in behavior. Whether your cat is social and playful or more independent and reserved, we adjust our care to meet their individual needs. We also have the space to comfortably keep cats separated if needed, giving them their own quiet area away from our cat. If preferred, we’re also happy to gradually introduce them in a safe and controlled way. We understand how important it is for owners to feel at ease, so we’re happy to provide regular updates and photos while you’re away.

“My boy Archie loves to see Anastasia and we look forward to our next visit. She helps with crate training and other training as well. Thanks Anastasia!”
About: We have both grown up with animals and have been caring for pets our entire lives. We currently have three pets of our own, so we understand the level of care, attention, and love that animals truly need to feel safe and comfortable. We know firsthand how stressful it can be to find reliable, trustworthy pet care, especially when balancing work and busy schedules, which is why we’re passionate about providing a safe, loving environment for your pets while you’re away. We also have a fully fenced half-acre yard, along with additional unfenced space on our property, allowing for plenty of supervised outdoor playtime, exercise, and enrichment. We also have the space to comfortably keep dogs separated if needed, giving each pet their own area while still receiving plenty of attention and care. Your pet will be treated like part of our family, with plenty of attention, playtime, and care tailored to their specific needs and routine. One of us works from home full-time, while the other works part-time as a personal trainer and is typically only away for about an hour at a time. This allows us to provide consistent supervision and attention throughout the day. We have a flexible schedule and are available for boarding on both weekdays and weekends, with plenty of time for walks, play, and individualized care. We provide a safe, calm, and structured home environment where your pet will feel comfortable and cared for. Our dogs are friendly and love playtime with other dogs, creating a fun and engaging environment for social pets. We also have a fully fenced half-acre yard, giving dogs plenty of space to run around, explore, and get their energy out. We have experience managing multiple pets and can easily separate dogs if needed, giving each pet their own space while still ensuring they receive plenty of attention and care. Our dogs are crate trained and comfortable using their crates, and we’re happy to incorporate crating if that’s part of your dog’s routine. We strongly believe in following each pet’s established routine, whether that includes crate time or not, we want them to feel as comfortable and at home as possible. We prioritize safety at all times, closely supervise interactions, and tailor care to each pet’s needs. Our goal is to create a stress-free, home-like environment where your pet is treated like part of the family.
“Celeste is the best! It was River puppy's first time at a dog sitter's and Celeste made her feel right at home. She's a great communicator and sent lots of cute photos during the day. Highly recommend!”
“We had such a wonderful experience with Kiyarash while visiting California for a family vacation. Leaving our puppy with someone new while traveling can be stressful, but they immediately made us feel comfortable and confident that our boy was in great hands. They were caring, communicative, and clearly treated our puppy as if he was their own. He came home happy and well cared for! We’re so grateful for the peace of mind they gave us during our trip. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and kind sitter, and we would happily book with them again in the future!”
About: With lifelong experience caring for dogs, horses, and cats, I'm an animal lover and horse whisperer. I train my pets, provide energy healing, and enjoy daily walks. Pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily routine, as I work from home and have the flexibility to design my own schedule. As an energy healing practitioner, I prioritize mindfulness and balance, which extends to my pets. I incorporate playtime, walks, and training when needed into my day, ensuring they receive ample exercise and mental stimulation. During breaks from my meditation and yoga sessions, I find joy in spending quality time with my pets, fostering a nurturing environment. Their companionship enhances my work-life balance, and I often use sound healing techniques to create a calming atmosphere for both myself and my furry friends. Caring for pets in my home is a thoughtful process. I have a fenced yard where your dog can play safely alongside my sweet 15 year old boxer, who loves companionship. I welcome only dogs that are friendly with cats, as my 4 year old indoor cat enjoys their company. I feed all dogs outside, right in front of my kitchen, ensuring a clean and pleasant environment. Cats are fed separately in the kitchen, with their food placed on furniture to keep is safe from curious dogs. For hydration, I have a water fountain for the cats and a water dispenser for the dogs, both inside and outside for the dogs. When needed, I can easily crate your dog at night; my boxer is crate trained but prefers to sleep freely now. I require that you bring your dog and cat with their own bed, food, and treats, ensuring they feel comfortable. Additionally, It's essential that all pets have a collar with a tag and a leash for safety. This structured approach helps create a harmonious atmosphere for all furry friends in my care.
“Laura and Nick were absolutely amazing! Lucky felt safe and had fun. They kept me posted on how he was doing. Fed and walked him. He was a very happy camper! Would highly recommend them!”
“You know how dogs can tell whether someone is a good person? Yeah, my dog leaned his head against Christelle’s leg immediately. We were in a bind and needed dog sitting at the last minute and we were so fortunate she was available. They hung out at an amazing dog park and her pup and our dog had a blast.”
“Lucinda was absolutely wonderful with our dog, Gigi! This was Gigi’s first time staying with her, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Lucinda took exceptional care of her, made her feel comfortable and loved, and it was clear that Gigi had an amazing time. Lucinda is kind, reliable, communicative, and has a genuine love for animals. We are so grateful to have found her and look forward to our pup staying with her again. :)”
“I will book with her EVERY single time I need my dog to be watched. Attentive and sends me so many pictures. Trust worthy and the only person I want to watch my dog other then me of course.”

It’s such a relief to find someone Bailey feels comfortable with. We highly recommend Jonathan for your pups!”

About: I’ve been caring for animals for most of my life and currently have 6 horses, 5 ducks, 5 cats, a dog, bunnies, and a hamster. All of these animals are under my responsibility, and I help provide their daily care, including feeding, cleaning, exercise, grooming, and monitoring their health. Growing up around so many different types of animals has taught me patience, responsibility, and how to understand each pet’s unique needs and personality. I am a true animal lover and treat every pet as if it were my own, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I am a full-time equestrian show Jumper and we usually go out of town about once an every other month from Wednesday to Sunday. I will know if I'm leaving out of town months in advance. It will be no surprise. I also ride horses almost every day, so I'm usually at the barn in the a.m. but can always switch times and be flexible. When caring for pets in someone else’s home, I am always respectful of both their animals and their property. I grew up understanding the importance of treating other people’s belongings with care and respect. I will follow all instructions provided, keep the home clean and secure, and make sure pets maintain their normal routines so they feel comfortable and safe. My goal is to provide dependable care while giving owners peace of mind that both their pets and home are being treated as if they were my own

About: Taking care of any type of dog is something that I always look forward to doing, and I have been doing it for friends, family, and more for most of my life. I am mostly focusing on school, but when I am free, spending time with dogs is something that I have always been interested in. I want to do something that I enjoy instead of a boring, behind the counter job.

About: Hi, I’m Sophia! I’ve been caring for pets for years, building a network of happy clients through neighbors, family friends, and word of mouth. Dogs, cats, puppies, seniors — I’ve done it all, from quick drop-ins to six-month house sits. Whatever your pet needs, I show up with a full heart, active energy and a real routine that keeps them happy and at ease. I pride myself on being someone pet owners can truly trust. During the LA wildfires, I was house sitting near the evacuation zones when I made the call to safely pack up my client’s pets and their most precious belongings and get out, keeping everyone and everything safe until they could come home. That’s the kind of sitter I am: calm, present, and completely committed. I genuinely love this work. Waking up with a dog to walk, taking them out on hikes through the hills, spending the day giving them cuddles and all the attention they deserve, it truly fills my cup. Your pets won’t just be cared for, they’ll be showered with joy and mirth! Based in the Woodland Hills and Topanga area, available for boarding, house sitting, drop-in visits, dog walking, and daycare. Pet care is woven into my daily life naturally and genuinely. I keep an open, flexible schedule which means I’m truly present with the animals in my care — mornings start with walks and feeding routines, days are filled with playtime, cuddles and attention, and evenings wind down with the kind of calm, settled care that helps pets feel secure. I don’t rush off to a nine to five. I’m here, and your pet feels that. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, safety and comfort are everything to me. In my own space, I live with my cat Milo and keep a calm, cozy, pet friendly environment with plenty of room to relax and explore. A partner is often home as well, so your pet always has loving company and is never left alone for long. The Topanga and Woodland Hills area means we’re surrounded by nature with beautiful trails and open space right at our doorstep for walks, hikes and outdoor adventures. In your home I adapt completely to your pet’s existing routine, environment and needs. I learn their habits, respect their space and follow your instructions carefully. I treat every home I work in as if it were my own - with attentiveness, care and a deep sense of responsibility. Your pet, your home and everything you love will be looked after with the same devotion I bring to my own.
About: Dogs have been my life since I was 7 years old — that’s over 35 years of loving, caring for, and understanding what makes every dog tick. I own three incredible pups myself: two Pitties and a Doberman mix, so I know firsthand what big, energetic, loving dogs need to thrive. What truly sets me apart is that I volunteer at my local animal shelter, where I work hands-on with all breeds — from tiny dogs to large and powerful ones. I’m comfortable and confident with every size, temperament, and energy level because I’ve seen it all. Walking dogs isn’t just a service for me — it’s something I genuinely love. Your pup will get attentive, caring walks from someone who treats every dog like their own. I’m bonded, insured, and committed to giving your furry family member the best experience possible. Dog walking and pet care fit naturally into my daily routine. I’m available seven days a week with flexible morning, midday, and afternoon time slots. Whether you need a regular weekly walker or a one-time walk, I can work around your schedule and make it happen. Your dog’s safety is my absolute top priority on every single walk. I’m bonded and insured, so you have full peace of mind from the moment I pick up the leash. I walk in safe, familiar neighborhoods and keep dogs secure and controlled at all times — I handle big, powerful breeds every week at the shelter so no dog is too much for me. I send updates, photos, and check-ins during every walk so you always know your pup is happy and safe. Your dog will be treated exactly like one of my own three.
About: I truly love dogs and understand how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member with someone else. As a dog mom to three wonderful dogs, I know every dog has their own personality, routines, and quirks. All three of my dogs have passed the AKC Canine Good Citizen test, and I’ve also learned from professional dog trainers along the way. I will care for your dog as if they were my own—with patience, kindness, lots of attention, and plenty of love. I work remotely, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to be present throughout the day. Caring for pets is already a part of my daily routine with my own three dogs, so I’m used to walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and giving them the attention they need. I’ll do my best to accommodate your pet’s routine and keep you updated while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. We live in a spacious two-story home with both a front yard and a backyard, giving dogs plenty of room to relax and explore. My own three dogs, all of whom have passed the AKC Canine Good Citizen test, typically stay upstairs, allowing me to thoughtfully manage introductions and create a comfortable environment for every pet. Our community is quiet, surrounded by fresh air and beautiful walking and hiking paths, so your dog can enjoy both exercise and enrichment. Whether your pup loves outdoor adventures or prefers cozy naps and companionship, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and right at home.

“Taylor is amazing. She has helped me out multiple times with my high energy pitbull. She’s done house sitting for a week and helps do weekly walks with my dog. It’s such a relief to know my pup is in safe hands and is getting love from Taylor at the same time.”
About: I have had 3 dogs my whole life. Although, I currently done have any; my love for them is still within. Im here to get my itch of pup cured. I love going on walks, so would love to bring your pup along. Can't wait to meet you! I currently work a full time job with two days off. I am very flexible to yours or your pets needs when it comes to before or after my shift. I'm open my days off. I'm looking to come to the pets home since that is they're safe place. I do own cats and don't want any foul play when its comes to crossing boundaries.
About: With over eight years of hands-on pet care experience, I don’t just “watch” animals — I build real bonds with them. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality, routines, quirks, and comforts so they feel safe, seen, and genuinely loved. Every animal in my care is treated as if they were my own, with patience, protection, and affection at the center of everything I do. Their happiness, trust, and tail wags are truly the greatest reward. I am a freelance professional makeup artist working part time, so I have plenty of free time to care for your furry friends and felines! When I care for your pets in your home, I treat the entire space with the same respect and attention I give your animals. I follow their routines closely, provide loving companionship, and make sure they feel safe, calm, and comfortable in their familiar environment. While I am there taking care of your pets, I am also taking care of your home — keeping a clean, safe, and mess-free space for your animal to relax in. You can return to a happy pet and a well-maintained home.

They treated our dogs like their own; cuddling with them in bed, taking them on long walks, and keeping them entertained through out.

“Ashton and Jay were amazing with our normally anxious Chihuahua mix, Rosie. They came for an in home visit on their own time to meet her and put her at ease, were clear about what to bring to their place to make her more comfortable, and then at drop off were completely focused and engaged with her to make her first moments playful and fun. They gave daily updates with photos and then when we had a family emergency, were even kind enough to accommodate last minute extensions and changes to the reservation. We would 100% board Rosie with them again. She had so much fun and Ashton and Jay were genuinely sad to see her go on the last day. Thank you Ashton and Jay!”

“Ori and her family are is absolutely amazing, she took my 2 goldendoodles for 3 days, I shared with them the difficulty I have with my olde dog not being able to walk him because he would pull so much and miss behave when meeting other dogs in the street. In only 3 days they helped me train shaggy to walk on a leash now I can take him on beautiful walks and our puppies are so happy. They also sent pictures every day and treated them like family in their beautiful home. I will for sure use Ori every time I have the need for dog sitting ??”

“We had such a great experience with Kiyarash as our dog sitter! He took care of our pup, Kai, and we couldn’t have asked for someone more reliable and caring. From the moment they met, Kiyarash made Kai feel comfortable and safe, which instantly put us at ease. He took her on regular walks, spent quality time with her, and really treated her like part of the family. We also really appreciated the photo and video updates he sent us throughout our time away—it was so reassuring to see Kai happy and well cared for. We’re incredibly grateful for the love and attention he gave her, and we’ll definitely be reaching out to him again in the future. Highly recommend!”
