“Thank you, Al and Ayni, for taking such GREAT care of our sweet Russell. The numerous photos and video clips were very much appreciated. They gave a glimpse of Russell's days, and reassurance that he was totally happy making new paw - as well as human - friends. Thank you for the daily walks, cuddles, cuddles and MORE cuddles! BIG baby as you quickly noticed so certainly grateful for giving him extra TLC. Please extend our gratitude to Boba and friends for welcoming Russell and making him feel at home. THANK YOU SO MUCH!”
“Jonathan and Poppy are such an amazing friends we just made! They were so accommodating in our last minute booking and Jonathan went above and beyond in giving Cooper the most nutritional food that he exactly needed (Cooper has very bad skin allergies). Thank you Jonathan!!”
“We boarded our 5-month-old puppy with Mariia for a day, and she was wonderful. She was caring, attentive, and kept us updated. Our pup felt safe, happy, and well taken care of. We’d gladly recommend Mariia to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog sitter!”
“Wow, what can I say other than I wish I found Nadege years ago!! From the get go she is super responsive & set up a meet & greet immediately. My dog Kramer was immediately comfortable and Nadege had great energy and a perfectly set up dog friendly home. Nadege was also very flexible with Kramers finicky food choices. I was gone for a week and I think she just about sent me photos daily which put me at ease, thanks Nadege!! ??”
“We feel so lucky to have found Chenaie. She took excellent care of our dog. He’s very social and made sure he had lots of playtime with other dogs. She sent loads of pictures and videos and made us feel very comfortable that he was in good hands.”
“i felt completely at ease having PJ stay with Vicky! she took great care of him and sent updates throughout the day. he’s usually a little anxious when staying somewhere new, but when we arrived to drop him off he sniffed around a bit, remembered where he was from our initial meet & greet, and then walked right into Vicky’s home with very little hesitation :) i can tell he was super comfortable there. will definitely book again!”
“We had a great experience with Ryan (& Abbey). We are searching for a regular sitter for our very timid pup and set up an over night stay to test the waters. Ryan’s communication was excellent throughout. We received messages, picture and video updates keeping us in the loop as to how our Biscuit was doing. This helped put us at ease during this stressful time of transition between sitters. We greatly appreciate the care Biscuit received. We’ll be booking again”
“Patricia is an experienced, caring, and dedicated sitter! 10/10 recommend. She cared for my 2 small dogs (including my 5 year old who has anxiety) for a week and kept me regularly updated. I would book with her again!”
“Needed help with my dog on a trip to Malibu so we could enjoy the day while he would be able to enjoy his day too somewhere more dog friendly. Signed up for Rover to try that solution and worked great. Booked the day before and had no problem. Melissa showed up on time to pick Rio up, took great care of him, sent multiple videos during a 1 day stay, and returned him happy and fed. Couldn't ask for more, thanks for your help”
“We left our baby, Murphy with Amorn & Adam recently. I would highly recommend them if you need a sitter in this area. They were very responsive and provided consistent feedback on how my girl was doing. They sent pictures throughout her stay as well❤️🐾❤️”
“Mary was great with my dog. He doesn’t like everyone, who does? Lol But he did great with Mary and their dog. I couldn’t have asked for more, really. He’s very active and they let him run 2x a day plus he got to cool off in their pool. If you’re concerned about leaving your dog, choose Mary, it will make you feel good every time you go away:)”
“I can’t recommend Brittany enough! This was my first time booking with her/leaving my pup for a full week, and she made the entire experience completely stress-free. She was incredibly flexible and accommodating when my travel plans changed, which I appreciated so much. She sent really thoughtful updates and lots of photos throughout the day! It was clear how caring and attentive she is, and Charles looked so happy and comfortable - he especially loved spending time with her pups. I will definitely be rebooking!!”
“Lucinda was exceptional! She was kind, caring and very communicative. She is definitely a fur baby lover who has a substantial amount of experience with all types of dogs! I felt at ease while I was on my vacation due to her sending multiple pictures and updates on the regular. She also has a fenced in yard where all the dogs can play and have an amazing time! I would definitely use her again!”
“Our dogs stayed with Annabelle & Ben for one night as a trial before our longer, upcoming trip. Everything went really smoothly and we appreciated their communication with frequent updates and pictures on how they were doing.”
“Julieth took great care of Prunella and sent lots of pics and videos during her stay. Her other dogs were sweet and well behaved. She gave her a bath before sending her home. Highly recommend!”
“Brittany was great! Our dog stayed with her for a week and a half and she sent constant updates and kept her entertained with plenty of walks, treats, and puzzles!”
“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!😊🐶”
“Marcella is awesome she is a very caring and nurturing individual! She is really great with animals. I will definitely be using her in the future for all my animals! Thank you so much Marcella! 😊”

“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.”
“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.😁🙌🏼”
About: I’ve been a huge animal lover for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I helped my aunt foster and rehabilitate dogs and cats, which gave me experience caring for animals with all kinds of personalities, backgrounds, and needs. I learned early on that every pet is different and deserves patience, attention, and lots of love. I currently have two adorable cats and a pit bull/Lab mix who are my whole world, so I’m very comfortable caring for both cats and dogs, including larger breeds. I love getting to know each animal’s personality and figuring out what makes them happiest, whether that’s going for walks, playing, cuddling on the couch, or just having someone nearby to keep them company. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. My goal is to make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable while you’re away. I’ll treat your pets with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own, and I’m always happy to send plenty of pictures and updates so you know they’re safe and having a good time. I have a pretty flexible schedule that gives me plenty of time to care for your pets! I’m available Mondays and Wednesdays after 12 PM, Tuesdays and Thursdays after 3 PM, and I’m available all day on Fridays and weekends. Whether your fur baby needs a walk, some playtime, or just some company while you’re away, I’m happy to work with their normal routine and make sure they get plenty of attention and care. I understand that trusting someone with your fur baby and allowing them into your home is a big deal, and I take that responsibility seriously. During drop-ins, I’ll always respect your home, follow any instructions you leave, and make sure doors, gates, and anything else your pet could get into are secure before I leave. On walks, I’ll keep your dog safely leashed and pay close attention to our surroundings, other dogs, traffic, and anything that could make them uncomfortable. I’m also happy to send photos and updates during every visit so you can relax knowing your dog is safe, happy, and being well cared for.
About: Kai is my baby, my son, and genuinely one of the greatest loves of my life. I always thought I was strictly a dog person until I got him, and now I truly understand what I was missing out on! The love and companionship a cat can bring into your life is so special and genuine. Cats are incredibly sweet, intelligent, funny little creatures, and I think they’re seriously underrated. Cats are life.
“Cecilia was a wonderful sitter for my cats! Very thoughtful and attentive, I was so happy that they were in her care when I was out of town. I greatly appreciated her daily updates and photos, and can’t recommend her enough ❤️”
“Sanaz was very diligent and quickly formed a relationship with my senior cat. She was able to give him his medication and subcutaneous fluids, which was essential. I highly recommend her!”
“Heather was an absolute superstar dropping in on my cat while I was away - when my cat got sick while I was gone (every pet parents nightmare) Heather saved the day by being super accommodating and taking her to the vet!! Cannot say enough good things :)”
About: Since highschool, I've been watching family and friend's homes & pets. I have experience with all shapes and sizes of dogs, cats, fish and even some farm animals. I only ever had my own animals when I was a child so as someone who loves being around them, I am grateful for any experiences I get to do so 😊
About: As a certified professional dog trainer, I bring more than pet care to every visit—I bring behavior expertise. Since 2015, I’ve worked with dogs of all ages, breeds, and temperaments, from energetic puppies to sensitive rescue dogs. Whether your dog needs a structured walk, help building good manners, or simply compassionate care, I focus on creating positive experiences that build trust, confidence, and lasting skills. Dogs are at the center of my daily life. My schedule is built around training sessions, walks, enrichment activities, and pet care visits. Because working with dogs is my profession, I’m able to provide reliable, attentive care and make each pet’s physical and emotional well-being a priority. In clients’ homes, I maintain respect as a center point of my services. Whether we’re doing a walk, training session or drop-in, my goal is to respect your space and help your pup(s) feel comfortable and secure. Walks, play, enrichment, training reinforcement, feeding, medication administration (if needed), and plenty of affection and positive reinforcement are all part of my approach.
About: I have years of pet-sitting experience, along with being a longtime pet owner myself. I’m experienced in caring for senior dogs who need extra assistance, as well as raising and caring for puppies. I’m dependable, punctual, attentive, and a great communicator. Most importantly, I treat every pet with the same care and affection I would give my own.
About: I’ve been caring for animals for 10+ years through animal shelters and pet sitting. I have experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages, including administering medication, reinforcing training, bathing, and taking dogs on long walks or runs. I’m comfortable caring for large breeds, reactive dogs, and pets with special needs. My experience with caring for cats is extensive as well. As a law student, I study from home most days, so your pets will get plenty of attention, companionship, and care. My goal is to make sure you can relax knowing they are safe, happy, and well cared for! As a full-time law student, I spend most of my days studying from home, with only a few hours of class each day. That means I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. Pet sitting fits perfectly into my routine, and they make great study buddies! I do my best to keep your pet on their normal routine so they feel comfortable in the space they know best. I’m happy to help with walks, playtime, medications, and even around the house if needed. I treat every home with the same respect I would my own. You’ll also receive daily updates and plenty of photos so you always know how they’re doing!
About: Have a picky eater and a ten-step feeding strategy? No problem! Got a little shy guy who needs time to warm up? I’m happy to take that time, so that your baby is comfortable and happy. Your cat needs to ride on your shoulders and scream in your ear while you make their dinner? (No? Just mine, I guess!) Hello, animal parents! I’m Taylor, a 36-year-old long-time professional animal and human caretaker with great references. My partner and I have a full house: two cats, three dogs, and pond fish. I’m available for drop-in visits for cats, dogs, horses and other hooved loved ones, as well as reptiles, amphibians, fish, and any other little critters. I have been paid to care for cats and other animals (horses, donkeys, mules, goats, dogs, hamsters, tortoises, and even a squirrel) since I was 18. I currently provide care for three cat households on a regular basis (besides my own lovely cats).
About: As a dog owner myself, who prioritizes my own dogs’ health and exercise needs, I bring an active, meticulous standard to every outing. I cater to your dogs needs, wether you have a puppy, over excited or energetic dog, or a senior dog that needs a slower pace, I am able to adapt to their needs. I have 3 dogs myself, requiring different needs. I also happen to be a very active person and I understand the importance of daily exercise and enrichment for a dog's health and happiness. Because work and busy schedules can make it tough to stay on top of those daily needs, I offer my services to bridge that gap, giving your pup active, structured care while giving you complete peace of mind during your work week. It’s exactly what I offer my dogs too! During walks, safety is the top priority. I maintain active focus on surroundings, leash control, and your dog’s comfort. Afterward, I ensure they are well exercised, hydrated, wiped down, and settled safely in your home before sending you a quick update.
“Anthony is very patient and calm with our nervous dog. He always messages ahead of time to let me know he's on the way and arrives on time. He makes the effort to gain the trust of our dog. I am looking forward to having him care for her more.”
“Sarah was wonderful. She was patient with me and my roommate while we tried to figure out our vacation schedule, and she even came over for a meet and greet with my cat BEFORE we agreed to hire her, just to make sure he took to her. My roommate and I have 3 cats together, and they had only recently been introduced so there were a lot of interesting dynamics Sarah was walking into. She did a great job with them.”
“Taylor did a great job and was very good at communicating with me during her drop in visits. She was also very thoughtful of my home and I appreciated it. She went the extra miles of wiping Chico’s paws when they were full of mud after being out on the grass. She was very understanding of my dogs behaviors too and made me feel relieved while Chico was in her care!”

“Page is awesome! Great spot to drop your fur baby for the day (or whatever your pet need may be) I know Page has got it! My shy guy found a home away from home that he loves now, we’ll definitely book when in town again! 💙🐕”
“Today was my puppy’s first Rover experience and she had a blast with Melissa! Melissa shared lots of fun photos and videos throughout the day which helped keep my first time nerves at bay. Little Roo came home happy and sleepy - a sign of a great day had!”
“This was my first time being away from my puppy. We met Cammy prior to my trip and although my shiba is quite apprehensive about strangers, the meeting went well. This alone was reassuring so I felt confident about leaving Chai in Cammy's care. It wasn't long before my parents noted to me how excited Chai was on the drive to daycare, how she was sleeping well every night, and eating all her food. Not only was the socialization of daycare great, Cammy's energy and attention to Chai helped her feel safe, comfortable, and happy. The messages and photos were something I looked forward to everyday and I'm happy to say I never felt nervous during my trip. I'm happy to continue daycare due to the overwhelmingly positive experience :)”
“Bonnie had the best day ever at Celia's house. We are so grateful to her for her hospitality and care for Bonnie. We will definitely be back for more doggie daycare playtime.”
“She did great with my dog for daycare! He had a great time with her dog, as well as the other dogs at daycare. She sent us photos and kept us updated. Sonny will be back!”
“Magenka is an amazing sitter, we’re lucky we found her here on Rover. She’s incredibly caring, attentive, and sweet towards Bilbo. I felt at ease knowing my anxious dog was in such good hands. I highly recommend her for anyone looking for someone who truly loves and cares for pet.”
“Kiyarash was absolutely great! He took such great care of pepper and kept me updated throughout the stay. I felt completely at ease knowing my pup was in such good hands. He is responsible, caring, and clearly loves animals. When we picked Pepper up home he was very happy! I would definitely book with Kiyarash again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable sitter.”
“Ayni & Alfonsus are incredible! My little Ocean gets excited when I drop her off. Shes also older/tripled and they take excellent care of her with plenty of updates via text, photo, video. Glad I found them! Highly recommend.”
“We had such a great experience and are so grateful for the care they gave our baby girl. Our dog has separation anxiety, and they were incredibly patient and calming with her from the start. Our pup settled in much quicker than we expected and looked so comfortable and happy! They even took her on walks with the other dogs, which was amazing! We also accidentally forgot to bring her food, and they kindly made sure she was fed and taken care of without any issue. Thank you again! :-)”
“I’m very lucky that I was able to have Aaron watch patches after my other sitter cancelled. He was very accommodating. He was able to confirm my last minute request the whole process took 10 minutes probably. Went out of his way to make sure he could be the best dog sitter. Promptly responding to my messages n communicating was easy. , I could tell he loves dogs and he enjoys doing this. I can tell he took good care of my dog. I will definitely use him again in the future. 'I’m very lucky that I was able to have Aaron watch patches after my other sitter cancelled. He was very accommodating.

“Jiminy started wagging his tail right away. That is the best sign for a dog mom. Marcella sent photo plus her house house is in a very good location for the west Valley.”
About: Hi friends👋 A little bit about my self, to make you feel more comfortable leaving your pup. I was born on a desert farm. We had a ton of diverse animals. I would help my parents tend to all of the animals since I could walk. I’ve always had a special understanding with dogs. We had all types of dogs including large dogs, small dogs, injured dogs, def dogs, new born rescues. I’ve done it all. I understand every dog has a different need. Since I’ve had over 30 years of experience I naturally will understand your dogs needs as well as listen to you. It brings me pleasure to spend time with your fur baby. I’m in school online and work from home, so your pup will always have my full attention. If you choose overnight care, We go on about 3-4 walks a day, and hikes or night walks every other day. I also have a large fully fenced yard the pups can run free on leash. I send an update along with a photo or video everyday. Of course more if you need! I totally understand it’s hard leaving your baby. I can provide this and whatever else your dog needs, including medication, special meals, treats & minimal training. I have a fully fenced in yard and I live in Topanga Canyon. I open my door and I am on a hike. I live in the heart of the state park. I can take your pup on hikes, walks & there’s room to run around in the yard. I also have an entire room with a queen bed for the dogos. I also get tested every 2 weeks for Covid and I’m fully vaccinated ✔️ My dog loves it here, I’m sure yours will as well! I look forward to meeting you & your baby!
“Diah was flexible, friendly and Buddy came home happily exhausted!! She sent tons of pictures all day to keep my mind at ease and was always available and responsive. Very grateful and we will be back!”
“Chan took amazing care of our 2yr old beagle Chopper. Kept me updated with photos while I was at work. So glad we have Chan to take care of our boy, he’s happy and content. He also took him for a nice walk. Thank u 😊”
“Nicole & Darren are the best! Our dog has mild separation anxiety and has never wanted to leave my side…. Until now. Nicole & Darren’s is her own Disneyland. Thank you for taking such good care of my girl!”
“Jonathan was a lifesaver for us! He watched our dog, Bailey, on very short notice and took incredible care of her. Bailey usually gets very anxious when we’re away, but she was happy and relaxed when we picked her up. She loved the walks and having other pups to play with. It’s such a relief to find someone Bailey feels comfortable with. We highly recommend Jonathan for your pups!”

“As I have said on previous reviews, I can’t imagine anyone will ever find anyone as great as Kendyl, we are unfortunately going to need to start decreasing our schedule because my work situation is changing— but will continue to request for Kendyl whenEVER we need Riley coverage!”
About: I have plenty experience with dogs and cats in my personal life and as a walker. Grew up with many animals in the home. I also have year long experience walking dogs for an app. I am currently a student with a lot of free time. I’m available most days, just prefer the afternoon to night time. I mainly offer dog walking but a drop in visit can also be arranged. When it comes to walking dogs, I bring my own potty bags and expect to be provided a collar and leash. While walking I do my very best to avoid other dogs and keep good communication with the owners when needed. With a drop in visit I keep communication open with the owners and focus on the pets while following any written instructions. I do not bring any treats for the pets in case there are dietary issues/allergies it may trigger.
About: I’ve grown up with animals my whole life. My first puppy was a Yorkie named Lola, who I got when I was 5 — she was my first love! Animals have always been one of the most meaningful parts of my life, and that hasn’t changed. I currently live with two cats and a dog, including my cat Kai, who is truly my pride and joy and the light of my life. I’d do absolutely anything for him, so I know firsthand what it’s like to love and care for your pet like they’re your child. Growing up, a lot of my volunteer work centered around animals, from helping at shelters to walking dogs in my neighborhood. I’d love to be an extra source of love, care, and support for you and your little one, and hopefully become your pet’s new favorite neighborhood friend! I care for the pets in my house everyday normally - as well as my partners cat. I also just finished the project I was on and have a lot of free time to help support you and your pets! I approach every animal I meet with gentleness and patience. Building trust is extremely important and every animal of different. I’m here to learn what your animal needs from me and adjust my approach intuitively.

About: I've had dog experience and handling my entire life, now my wife and I live in a house off campus while in graduate school with our 6 year old GSD, Sammie! Since my graduate program is fully online, I can enjoy being home all day watching over my furry friends with the luxury of taking them out to the lake next door! For pets in my care, safety, trust, and a comfortable environment are top priorities. I ensure a secure environment, follow any specific instructions from pet owners, and provide ample affection and attention.
About: Hi! I'm Arvanh 😊 Animal companions have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up, there was always some kind of animal around: dogs, cats, fish, parakeets, and even chickens, ducks, and cows when I spent time with family in Laos. Being around these companions just been a normal and joyful part of life for me. One of the biggest reasons I'm here on Rover is because of my dog, Avery. Avery was my best friend for many years and taught me so much about patience, loyalty, and unconditional love. Like most pet owners, I talked to her like she was a person, and planned parts of my day around making sure she was happy. Since losing her, I've realized how much I miss having furry kids in my life and how much I genuinely enjoy caring for them. Over the years, I've become the friend people call when they're heading out of town and need someone they trust to watch their fur babies. I've cared for: -energetic dogs who want to play nonstop, -cats that needed cuddle time and WALKS (wild, I know) -and nervous pets who just need a calm presence while their humans are away. When I care for someone's pet, I try to get to know their personality, routines, and preferences so I can give them the unique attention they deserve. That means: attention, sticking to their routine, and making sure you never have to wonder how they're doing. If you're away, I'll send photos and updates throughout the day because I know personally how comforting it is to see your pet happy and relaxed while you're gone. For house sitting, my goal is simple: keep your pet's life feeling as normal as possible (with some fun of course). We'll stick to feeding schedules, walks, playtime, cuddle sessions, and whatever routines help them feel comfortable. If needed, I'll also take care of the little things around the house so you can enjoy your trip without worrying. :) For drop-in visits, I'll make sure your pet gets the attention, exercise, food, water, and care they need during my visit. Whether they want to play fetch, chase a toy, get belly rubs, or even just have someone sit with them for a bit, I'm happy to meet them where they're at. For dog walks, I love letting dogs enjoy the walk at their pace. Some dogs want to power walk the whole neighborhood, while others are on a mission to sniff every tree in sight. Either way, we'll have a good time and you'll get photos afterward so you can see their adventure. At the end of the day, I know that pets aren't "just pets." They're family. I also know how much trust it takes to hand over your keys and leave someone in charge of a furry family member you love. My goal is to make that decision feel easy by giving your companion lots of care, attention, and affection while keeping you updated every step of the way. I'd love to meet you and your furry companion! Pet care fits very naturally into my routine because I currently have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the week. In my professional life, I've worked as an engineer, but right now I'm taking time off and intentionally spending more time focusing on the people, experiences, and things that bring me joy! Including caring for animals! Whether it's a quick drop-in visit, a long walk, or overnight care, I genuinely enjoy making pets a part of my day. I'm also a big believer in keeping owners updated, so sending photos and little updates throughout the day is something I genuinely enjoy, not something I do out of obligation. At this time, I only provide care in my clients' homes. I find that pets are often happiest and most comfortable in a familiar environment where they can stick to their normal routines. Before caring for a pet, I like to learn about their personality, habits, schedule, favorite activities, and anything else that helps them feel comfortable. Every pet is different, and I try to tailor my care to their individual needs. For house sitting, my goal is to make things feel as normal as possible while you're away. I'll follow feeding schedules, provide walks and playtime, give plenty of attention and companionship, administer medications if needed, and keep your home tidy and secure. For drop-in visits, I'll make sure your pet has fresh water, food, potty breaks or litter box care, exercise, playtime, and plenty of attention. I'll also keep an eye on their overall well-being and let you know if anything seems unusual. For dog walks, I focus on safety, exercise, and making sure your dog has an enjoyable experience. Some dogs want a brisk walk, while others prefer to stop and sniff every interesting thing they find. I enjoy both! No matter the service, you can expect regular photo updates and communication so you always know how your pet is doing while you're away.
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.
About: My pet care experience is rooted in long years of having 3 dogs myself and professionally watching others in the past. I’m experienced in every field of pet care from grooming, walking, playing, and training. I’m a complete animal lover and I can assure you that in any task, your pet is going to be overjoyed and well taken care of. I have experience with both small dogs (5-15lbs) and large dogs (40-90lbs). I understand the responsibility’s required for all breeds and sizes. I am free everyday except Tuesday’s and Thursdays. I am in college pursuing my bachelors in music and while that can be demanding, I am able to reserve any time necessary to care for your pet at your convenience. Prioritizing safety and trust in an environment with pets is key in dog sitting/walking. I understand the work that is put into developing a relationship with an animal and making sure they are taken care of with 100% love. I am entirely open to watching your pet at your home. In that case, I will utilize any space open to me to ensure your pet has an amazing time and gets necessary exercise , etc. Providing all needs while also creating an enjoyable experience for your furry friend is my top priority.
“Sunita has been great! She walks him right on time each time, and even goes above and beyond and walks him a longer than required. She sends photo updates and communicates with me if there are any issues. Highly recommend!”
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 do own cats and don't want any foul play when its comes to crossing boundaries.
“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.”

“Jonathan and Poppy are such an amazing friends we just made! They were so accommodating in our last minute booking and Jonathan went above and beyond in giving Cooper the most nutritional food that he exactly needed (Cooper has very bad skin allergies). Thank you Jonathan!!”
“We feel so lucky to have found Chenaie. She took excellent care of our dog. He’s very social and made sure he had lots of playtime with other dogs. She sent loads of pictures and videos and made us feel very comfortable that he was in good hands.”
“Mary was great with my dog. He doesn’t like everyone, who does? Lol But he did great with Mary and their dog. I couldn’t have asked for more, really. He’s very active and they let him run 2x a day plus he got to cool off in their pool. If you’re concerned about leaving your dog, choose Mary, it will make you feel good every time you go away:)”

About: Hello. I’m Karina, and caring for animals has been a central part of my life for many years. In addition to caring for dogs and cats, I have extensive experience working with horses, including high-performance equine athletes. That background has taught me to be calm, observant, consistent, and attentive to each animal’s individual personality and needs. I understand that every pet is different. Some want an energetic walk, while others simply need a consistent routine, patience, and companionship. My priority is making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for with me. I specialize in reliable weekday lunchtime dog walks and drop-in visits in the Encino area, making me a great fit for busy professionals who want consistent, dependable care. I also offer cat drop-in visits and limited boarding for dogs that are friendly with my own well-socialized dog and cat. You’ll receive updates and photos during every visit so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family! Pet care is something I intentionally build into my weekly routine. I provide consistent weekday lunchtime walks and drop-in visits, making me a great fit for busy professionals who want dependable care while they’re at work. My schedule also allows me to offer weekend boarding and pet care by arrangement. I enjoy having a routine that lets me give each pet my full attention and provide reliable, consistent care. Boarding dogs stay in my home as part of the family, with plenty of attention, exercise, and a consistent routine. I have a secure balcony and easy access to a large grassy area for potty breaks and fresh air. Depending on each dog’s personality and energy level, we can enjoy walks in my quiet condo complex or explore the dog-friendly neighborhood nearby. I only accept dogs that are a good fit for my home and my own friendly, well-socialized dog, so everyone stays safe, relaxed, and happy. My goal is to provide a calm, comfortable environment where your dog feels at home while you’re away. With your permission, I’m also happy to take well-trained dogs on special outings, such as nature trails or to the horse facilities where I spend time, for additional exercise and enrichment when appropriate.
“Kiyarash really went above and beyond for our dogs when one of them had an issue while in his care. He has such compassion for them. He communicated very well with me and was so good to them. I highly recommend boarding with Kiyarash.”
“Sierra was wonderful with Archie! She was very communicative throughout his stay and sent plenty of pictures and updates, which gave us so much peace of mind. You could genuinely tell she cared about him and treated him with so much love and attention. We felt completely comfortable knowing Archie was in such good hands and would absolutely book with her again!”
“Ashton sent photos and updates and also picked up and dropped off my little guy for me. Thurgood was happy and loved while I was away! I’ll definitely be booking again and can’t recommend enough!”
“Dina watched Sawyer for a night and was very responsive. She sent lots of pictures, including some sweet ones of her kid playing with him. I’d definitely book with her again.”
“Winnie had an amazing time with Lydia & Benji! They were incredibly communicative and sent pictures of Winnie throughout her stay. We will definitely be rebooking in the future!”
