About: A Little About Me 🐾 Ever since I was young, I’ve had a strong connection with animals, especially dogs. They have always been a constant part of my life, helping me develop a deep understanding of their behavior, communication, and social interactions. I am attentive, experienced, and always focused on maintaining a safe and positive environment for every dog in my care. I closely monitor all interactions and am proactive in addressing any unsafe behavior, whether playful or otherwise. My home features a secure property with tall fencing around the entire perimeter 🏡. The space is divided into separate areas to accommodate different playgroups, from small dogs to extra-large breeds, with plenty of shade and room to relax and play. Behavior Assessment 📋 For first-time guests, I typically require a behavior assessment before their stay. However, I understand that emergencies and last-minute situations happen, and I can be flexible when needed. If your dog has not completed an assessment beforehand, I will conduct one at drop-off. Introductions are done gradually and carefully, starting with my dog, Maya 🐕, before meeting the rest of the pack. If your dog is not comfortable in a group setting, they can be accommodated separately with their own indoor room and outdoor space. Before Your Dog’s Stay Please let me know: • Does your dog have any allergies? • Is your dog up to date on all vaccinations? • Is your dog currently taking any medications? Additionally, please share anything else that may help me provide the best care possible, including: • Resource guarding tendencies • Escape or fence-jumping behaviors • Eating non-food items or foreign objects • Previous incidents involving dogs or people • Anxiety, fears, or special handling needs Please also let me know about any special dietary requirements. If your dog eats wet food or requires refrigerated items, I have a full-size refrigerator available for storage. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and enjoyable experience for every dog in my care. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out—I am always happy to help! This is my full-time calling 🐾. I am available on weekdays, weekends, and holidays. There are occasional moments where I may need to step out for errands or appointments, but my family is always there to help with the dogs' care. Thank you for understanding 🙏. Pick-Up & Drop-Off 🚗 Our pick-up and drop-off times are flexible. We can accommodate as late as 11pm and as early as 5am if needed, including drop-offs the night before if you have an early departure — all at no extra cost 🙌. We also accommodate longer-term stays. The longest we've had a dog with us was around 8 months. No matter the length of the stay, we send regular updates — whether it's a text, photos, or videos — so you're always in the know. We offer a hybrid style of play — both free play and structured play 🐾. Negative behavior is calmly corrected, ensuring a safe and positive environment for all. Dogs sleep inside in a fully air-conditioned space ❄️, provided with beds and blankets, Dogs comfortable with pack life are welcome to free roam in a home-like environment 🏡, while higher energy dogs are separated as needed to ensure proper rest and health for all, fresh water is provided at all times. Safety is a top priority 🔒. Our property is fully enclosed with a 6ft fence & there is always someone present— keeping everyone happy and safe!
“Lori was amazing with our boy! She kept us updated during our trip and remembered every detail about his care. We had such peace of mind and could relax knowing he was with her - and he had fun too! It was the best experience all around.”
“Hi I'm Christopher Braig and I am a middle school music teacher in South Central and Jazz Musician. I have only been in LA two years and I often go to see my daughters in St. Louis. I must insist on telling this was the best experience we have ever had on Rover bar none. Shardae took the time time to frequently and in detail tell us of how our old man toy poodle Oreo was doing. And she did in such a fun way it made me and girls laugh. Thank you Shardae I will be doing some traveling this summer and we hope you are available. CB”
“Kyle was an excellent dog sitter! Our dog was sorry to be picked up when it was time for her to go home. She stayed with Kyle while we were away on vacation for five nights and enjoyed lots of cuddles with him. I could tell that she felt comfortable and well taken care of.”
“Nick and his wife were excellent with my pups. We had a meet and greet, and my dogs instantly fell in love with them. They sent updates and took really good care of them. I will highly recommend them. Thanks so much!”
“Yiyu was extremely accommodating with our last minute booking. She was extremely communicative with sending updates and pictures. We felt PeeWee was in GREAT hands which allowed us to have a worry and stress free time away. We will definitely be booking with Yiyu again! Thank you for taking care of our baby!”
About: I Grew up with dogs and have two of my own. Boarded dogs since I was in college. Worked with different types of dogs and families! I work different jobs and mostly from home. I have two boys (12 & 10). They are well behaved and always help me with the boarding pups whenever they can The backyard is closed and fenced. I have artificial turf for pups to go potty. And the rest is concrete and river rocks. Fence on both sides to provide privacy and protection
“There’s a reason Brian has such great reviews. He’s amazing. He had a great connection with my dog, who is usually quite aloof with strangers. I could tell she was comfortable and happy with him- which is such a great relief when leaving your dog in someone’s care. His communication and updates were perfect, and he was very flexible and accommodating with the drop off and pick up times. I like that he takes the time to do a meet and greet before taking on a client. I will definitely book Brian again.”
“I felt such a relief after meeting Stephanie when I had to go out of town two days after moving here. She kept me updated with photos of my sweet boy and he seemed so happy and comfortable with her. Will definitely be using her services again!”
“Kimberlee is amazing! She took such great care of our pup and sent daily check-ins and photos, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We have a very high energy Aussie, and somehow she managed to tire her out, which is no easy feat! It was clear our dog was happy, well cared for, and getting plenty of attention. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Kimberlee again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”
“Gina was a wonderful caregiver to my almost 14 yr old Boston terrier for the weekend while I was away moving. She was able to take Lena on short notice which I’m very grateful to her for. My dog really enjoyed her stay!”

“As always, Ruby was an excellent pet sitter! She was on-time and and very conscientious about taking care of of my cats. She provided really detailed Rover Cards. I am happy I booked her again!”
“Shannon went above and beyond in caring for our two cats! I appreciated her for jumping in for our sort of last minute request and doing such a great job. She communicates well, asks great questions — and her updates and pictures gave us peace of mind while we were out of town. She also got the cats to warm up to her so quickly so huge plus. Highly recommend”
“"I can’t recommend Leiah enough! She is professional, down-to-earth, friendly, and an excellent communicator. From our meet and greet, it was clear she truly loves dogs and knows how to engage with them. She is punctual and provides great updates (and awesome photos!) which gives me total peace of mind while I’m away. If you're looking for someone trustworthy who will treat your dog like her own, Leiah’s the needle in the haystack you are looking for!"”
“I’m very happy that Chieko took good care of my cat while I was out of town. She sent me pictures and updates every time she came, so that I could be sure my cat was doing OK. Not only taking care of my cat but she also took care of me how to navigate the app step by step. I’ll be requesting her again next time.”
“Elika is a wonderful pet sitter! She was thoughtful, communicative, noticed details about my cats behavior and health. I felt very confident with them in her care.”
“Stephanie did a great job caring for our two cats and I was extremely grateful to be able to book her during the holiday season. She was responsive and accommodating during a very busy time of year which helped make our holiday travel worry free!! Most importantly, she sent us very cute and sweet pictures of our cats— they looked very happy in the photos updates she sent!!”
“Pilar is a very responsive and caring cat sitter. She spent time w my cats and made sure they were stimulated, even putting on some cat “tv” for them. She also takes some amazing close ups!”
“This was the second time we asked Kevin to take care of our cats Gin and Tonic, and he again exceeded expectations! Kevin not only is very diligent with the basic care like food and water but also goes above and beyond to provide the most fun and joyful times for the cats. We loved to read the comprehensive updates he sent — we could picture every single detail he described. Not to mention all the great pictures and videos! We will for sure ask him to keep taking care of Gin and Tonic whenever another trip comes up. Thank you again, Kevin!”
“Susan is a rockstar petsitter. She gave extra special care to my cat who was dealing with some medical issues and needed some pain meds. She went above and beyond to make sure he got attention and was well cared for and comfortable. Plus kept me updated with pics and info. Highly recommend and would trust her with my animals again anytime. Grateful to have found her.”
“My cats instantly trusted Ciai, which says a lot! She fed them, cleaned their litter, and spent time playing with them so they weren’t lonely. She was reliable, caring, and made me feel at ease while I was away. Highly recommend her and will definitely book again.”
“We booked our holiday travel a little late in the year and our normal supply of family/friends who cat-sit for us were unavailable. I took a chance on Rover and found Allen and it all worked out splendidly! I met Allen before we left, gave him a quick intro to our cat Lisette, and away we went. I also left written instructions just in case and Allen followed them to a T. He sent photos and a video every day, putting my fears to rest about leaving our cat alone for the first time (we adopted her 6 months ago). I recommend Allen 100%! We will definitely be calling him again.”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something that genuinely comes naturally to me. I’ve grown up with dogs and have experience caring for both dogs and cats, including pets who need extra attention, medication, or a little more patience. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets, and I treat every animal like they’re my own. Whether your pup needs long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply someone to keep them company while you’re away, I’m happy to give them the attention and care they deserve. I’m also comfortable following detailed feeding, medication, and care instructions so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. And of course, I’ll keep you updated while you’re gone! I love sending lots of photos and updates so you can see what your pup is up to and know they’re happy, comfortable, and being well cared for. My current schedule is quite flexible, making me available for whatever you & your pup may need! Feel free to reach out, even if it's at the last minute. While watching pets, I fit to what they need. I love staying active and enjoy going for walks and/or runs with high-energy pups. But, I'm also more than happy to have a more chill doggy day as well.
About: After we lost my childhood Maltipoo, Chibi, to old age after Covid, we were heart broken. Chibi had lived a long 18 years with us but unfortunately, it became her time. After months of healing, a stray would often make its way into our backyard and we would feed and care for it. At this time, my stepdad did not want any more pets, so we could not keep her. Fortunately, he saw how happy (Tesla) made us and he allowed us to bring her inside. My mom took her to the vet soon after and we discovered she was chipped. (Tesla) had been missing for well over 6 months traveling from Hermosa Beach to Torrance! Her family was ecstatic to have her back and it was during Christmas time, which was truly a Christmas miracle. We were sad to lose her, but felt like we did a good deed returning her home. Because of what happened, my stepdad allowed us to adopt a cat. We were connected to an animal rescue through a friend and soon after, we adopted our furbaby, Misha. Misha is a 10lb female Tuxedo (domestic short hair) with a white mustache. She loves to play, fetch (yes, fetch!), eat, and sleep. What a life! She isn’t a lap cat, but she is social enough that she always wants to be near you. She is also a woman of many nicknames such as: Minky, Mimi, Misha Moo, MishMish, etc. She truly has brought so much joy to our lives and I can’t imagine a home without her.

About: All of the cats I have nurtured have found me. I rescued my cat Edie from a tree that was four stories high by calling Edison to come with their bucket latter to save her. My current cat Penny came out of a crawl space at 6 months old in the rain looking for help. The cats I have rescued all seem to love their chin and cheeks massaged. They all have such different personalities and I appreciate how they slowly come out of their shell to connect. Cats are funny and quirky and often particular. My cats in the past have enjoyed playing go fish with a feather attached. I also cut cat nails.
About: I’ve had my fur baby for over a year now and have lived with cats in the past! I’m comfortable with feeding, litter box cleaning, giving them lots of attention if they want it and keeping them happy and safe while you’re away!

“Chieko was an amazing sitter!! She took really good care of my dog, Sunny. She went to take Sunny for a long walk and fed him snacks+food. I felt safe leaving my dog with Chieko.”
“Kim took care of my furbaby Asher for an entire week. After meeting quite a few other sitters, I was so relieved to find Kim because I started questioning if I was way too picky. It’s something you can just feel and tell when you meet a potential sitter. I liked Kim immediately. She has a genuine care about her. I could tell she loves dogs by her first interaction with Asher and that was important to me. I’m sure I will book her again in the future. Thanks so much Kim for taking care of my furbaby! Very much appreciated🫶”
“If you’re in need of someone to care for your dog, Alice is the person I trust the most! She is my go-to sitter whenever I’m out for a day or an entire vacation. In August, she took him in for 3 weeks while I was in the Philippines and as much as I missed him, I knew he was in wonderful hands! She’s caring and attentive. I really appreciated the updates she would send. In his most recent stay, she babysat for a day and I never had to worry! Again, if you’re looking for someone you can trust, it’s Alice!”
“Kyle was quick to reply to a last minute dog sitting request, and I’m so grateful he was able to help. He was flexible, accommodating, and very responsive throughout the entire process. This was my first time putting my puppy in daycare, but he reassured me and made me feel confident that my puppy was in good hands. He clearly has experience with puppies and even puppy socialization. I’ll definitely be coming back!”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover and experienced dog owner living in the Seaside neighborhood of Torrance. I currently have two Rhodesian Ridgebacks and a Mini Australian Shepherd, so I’m very comfortable caring for dogs of different sizes and energy levels. My dogs are part of my family, and we stay active every day. We enjoy daily walks, hiking, trips to the dog beach, and playdates. I know how important it is for dogs to get both physical exercise and mental stimulation. I grew up surrounded by animals, including dogs, horses, chickens, rabbits, and cats, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. I work from home during the week, and now that my kids are away at college, I have more time to dedicate to caring for pets. Whether your dog needs a neighborhood walk, extra exercise, or a longer adventure on a local hiking trail, I’d love to help keep them happy, healthy, and active. I treat every pet as if they were my own and understand that trust, safety, and communication are the most important parts of caring for someone else’s beloved companion. SAFETY & COMPATIBILITY Your dog’s safety, my safety, and the safety of my pets are always my top priorities. I welcome friendly dogs of all sizes—from tiny pups to large breeds—as long as they are comfortable being handled by someone new. Because every dog is different, I require a meet-and-greet before accepting new clients. For dog walking, I’d like to meet your dog first to ensure we’re both comfortable together and that your dog walks calmly on a leash around people and other dogs. If I’m caring for your dog in my home, a meet-and-greet with my dogs is also required to make sure everyone gets along and feels comfortable. While I have many years of experience caring for dogs, I am not a professional dog trainer or behaviorist. For everyone’s safety, I only accept dogs that are friendly with people and can be safely managed on walks and in new environments. If your dog has a history of aggression toward people or other dogs, I may not be the right sitter for your pet. I love puppies and will take in un-spayed or un neutered young puppies (less than 9 months old), at my discretion. I work remote from home and have the flexibility to visit or walk your dog. I have my own three dogs that hang out with me when I work at my desk. I have some flexibility to take a dog to join us to hang out for the day or night. I walk the dogs every afternoon. I have a fenced yard, three friendly dogs to keep your’s company and an XL crate if needed. If I am dog sitting, I would not leave your dog home alone and unattended. There is shaded patio, artificial turf for running and not getting dirty, I have a magnetic screen so my dogs are free to walk in and out of the house at leisure.
About: I have taken care of our own and other dogs for our entire lives. I understand they are a part of the family and have always given them the treatment they deserve. I live with my wife but will be the exclusive care taker of your loved ones! Work from home with virtual meetings on and off, can walk and take care of pets in between. Open mornings and afternoons and can pay close attention all day long. Happy to follow any instructions from owners to keep your pets in the most comfortable conditions and allow them to keep their day to day routine
About: I’ve take care of every type of animal you can even think of, I’ve had rabbits, dogs, reptiles, cats, horses, guinea pigs, turtles, whatever you name I’ve taken care of it. If someone asked me to take care of their pet raccoon, I’d do it. I always have and always will be an animal Lover. I am part/full time and I’m open whatever days I’m needed. I’m available during the weekdays if you have work and weekends I’d you are busy. I have a fenced yard and my home is always welcome to any dog but if the owner would rather me stay at their home that’s okay with me too.
“Jon is wonderful! My dog is very high energy and can be a real handful. He treated her with patience and kindness. She got lots of exercise. Jon sent me video of her having fun with a new doggie friend. She’s very sensitive, so I know he treated her well because she was happy to see me, but not going totally crazy when I picked her up. It’s obvious when she’s stressed or unhappy. She was calm and serene.Jon accommodated my last minute request for daycare AND a late pick up. He’s a nice guy and I recommend him! I will definitely use him again.”
About: I’ve spent the last 10 years walking dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities, and caring for animals is truly one of my favorite parts of life. I’m super active, love being outdoors, and I’m always excited to take your pets on runs, hikes, or long adventures. If your pet prefers a slower pace, I’m just as happy to enjoy cozy couch cuddles and calm hang-outs. I’m also a cat mom, so I fully understand the different needs and quirks of both dogs and cats. Whether it’s playtime, exercise, or just keeping their routine consistent, your pet will be treated like family. My partner and I both have very flexible schedules, which means one of us is always home and available to give your pet attention, supervision, and love throughout the day. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are my top priorities. Can’t wait to meet your furry friend! 💛🐶🐱 I’m self-employed and work entirely on my own schedule, and my boyfriend does the same. Because of that flexibility, we’re able to ensure that someone is always home to give your cat consistent care, attention, and supervision. Your baby will never be left alone for long periods — they’ll have company, comfort, and plenty of love throughout the day. We live in a home with a spacious, fully fenced backyard that has plenty of sun and grass for your pet to enjoy safely. We’re also just one block from a large park with a huge open grass field, perfect for playtime, walks, and outdoor enrichment. I’m a very clean and organized person, and I always clean up after pets and keep spaces tidy. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I’ll make sure everything stays neat, maintained, and respected while you’re away.
About: As a pet owner myself, I understand that leaving your pet can be difficult. I am here to ease your mind with detail and care. I am currently studying and working remotely so I just have some set hours of work I need to do, but I can still keep an eye on your pets I can and will follow any and all instructions for your pets and home. I am responsible and respectful while also very caring towards your pets.
About: I’m a dog mom of 8 years, and caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. Over the years I’ve helped family and friends with their pets—everything from energetic puppies and senior dogs to rabbits, cats, and even goats! I’m comfortable with all kinds of personalities and needs, and I treat every animal like they’re my own. Whether it’s playtime, walks, feeding, or just keeping them company, your pet will get tons of love, attention, and patience while they’re with me. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I work from home and have plenty of flexibility. I get regular breaks every two hours and a full hour for lunch, which gives me lots of time for walks, playtime, feeding, and check-ins throughout the day. I also don’t go out much, so I’m home almost all day—meaning your pet will have constant company, attention, and a calm, comfortable environment. Your pet won’t ever feel lonely here! In my home, your pet will have plenty of comfort and space. I live in a spacious home with room for your pet to settle in and feel relaxed. I also have a friendly dog who loves company and gets along well with other pets. You’re welcome to bring any of your pet’s personal items—beds, toys, or a crate—and I have plenty of room to set everything up exactly the way they’re used to. My goal is to make their stay feel safe, familiar, and stress-free.
“We were so lucky to find Samantha on Rover. Our 90lb puppy had minor stitches so during the day we needed someone to watch him to make sure he didn’t mess with his injury. We got way more than that - Duke was walked, watched and spoiled. He came home tired 🙏 and happy. Highly recommend”

About: I’ve had dogs for as long as I can remember; I’ve had several of all sizes throughout my life, and they were like siblings to me. I love dogs of all kinds; wherever I go, they seek me out, greet me, and let me pet them. I think that’s a great sign that I connect with them. I am a freelance videographer and video editor. I set my own schedule, so at any moment I can pause my editing work to go walk dogs or look after my son's cat when he travels. Yes, often. I take two dogs for a walk every day; I've been doing it for years, and babysitting my son's cat when he travels.
“Elika did amazing! She was flexible in my need for a last min dog walker, was so kind, and left lots of pictures and details about their walk after. Would highly recommend! 😊”
“My fur babies loved their walks with Carissa! She came a little early day one to get acquainted with them and even scored some kisses from Chico who takes a while to warm up to people. ❤️ We will be booking her again!”
“Susan did such a wonderful job with Bella! My pup can be quite quirky at times, but Susan embraced it and showed her so much love. I am very appreciative of Susan and her ability to bring my dog out of her shell. Thank you!”
“My 5 year old doodle has been walking with Jailene for over a week now. We decided our pup needed more midday exercise than we could provide, so Jailene swooped right in to come on time everyday: friendly, confident, professional, and no frills. My dog even looks cool walking with her! They get an uphill mile in each weekday for 30 mins and our pup comes back worked, happy, and relaxed. It's been very easy to communicate with Jailene and we trust that our dog is in good hands.”
“Chieko has been walking our dog regularly for a couple of months now, and she has been wonderful to work with! She's easy to communicate with and I can tell she absolutely loves animals. Would highly recommend booking Chieko for any of your pet care needs!”
“Danielle was fabulous and made herself available for my pup on short notice. She was professional and detailed with the rover card. I especially appreciated her consistent communication with me! I highly recommend her for your pet!!!!”
“I have been meaning to leave a review for Allen as he’s been our regular dog walker for a while. Allen has been very caring with our two dogs, including one somewhat hostile chihuahua and one elderly chihuahua who is blind and suffering from cognitive decline. He’s been so flexible and understanding with our elderly dog’s evolving care needs and is always so communicative.”
“Courtney has been great with walking our 2 year old dog Boba! She is on time, great at communication, and very friendly and patient with our pup. She took the time to get to know all the little quirks of our puppy and every morning Boba is excited to see her. Highly recommend Courtney :)”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since childhood. Everything from Dachshunds to Saint Bernards. I’ve helped train them as puppies and have given them extra love in senior years. Neighbors, friends and family have always relied on me to help with their fur babies. I have a strong love and passion for animals and would love to help you with yours. I am looking for extra, fun ways to make money during the week. I have a strong love and passion for animals. I am currently working part-time and my shifts typically don’t start until 4pm, so I am free most mornings for dog walking. I care for pets as if they’re my own, prioritizing their safety, comfort, and emotional well-being. In a client’s home, I follow all care instructions closely while also paying attention to the pet’s behavior and environment to ensure they feel secure and stress-free. I keep litter boxes and feeding areas clean, provide enrichment through play and affection (as appropriate for the pet), and monitor for any changes in health or behavior. I communicate regularly with pet parents and always act in the pet’s best interest.
About: I’ve been working with animals for over 25 years, including 10 years as a veterinary technician and as a behavioral dog trainer. As a former vet tech, I’m comfortable administering medications (oral, topical, injectable), monitoring special-needs pets, and caring for both senior dogs and tiny puppies who need a little extra attention. My background in animal behavior allows me to read a dog’s body language, support anxious or high-energy pups, and create a calm, positive experience on every walk. Whether your dog needs structure, gentle reinforcement, behavior training, or just a patient friend, I’m confident, capable, and committed to their safety and comfort. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I’m currently not working a traditional job, which gives me plenty of time to focus on walking, caring for, and spending quality time with your fur baby. My schedule is very flexible — mornings, afternoons, evenings, and last-minute bookings all work for me. I love being outdoors, staying active, and making every walk a positive, enriching experience for the dogs I care for. When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I prioritize comfort, consistency, and following your routine exactly as you outline it. I’m a detail-oriented and caring individual, so whether your pet needs medication, a specific feeding schedule, gentle reassurance, or extra playtime, I make sure everything is done just the way you prefer. My goal is to keep your pet feeling safe, relaxed, and loved while you’re away.
About: As a student, I took classes at the East Valley Animal Shelter in Los Angeles. I adopted a Pitbull Lab mix from the San Pedro Animal Shelter while I was in college. He changed my life! I was a pet sitter for several years, walking dogs, doing day visits, and overnights in the Southbay area. I currently have 3 pets: a Chihuahua Mix from a non-profit shelter and a tuxedo cat. A stray kitten was living under my truck and she basically adopted my dog. I love walking, swimming, the beach, hiking and just in general being outdoors. Pet sitting is my ideal part time job. I want to be outdoors and meeting new people/pets. I have two little humans I take care of and do have to be flexible because of their schedule. But I have plenty of time for your pets and I am good about schedules. Very detailed oriented. I am careful about fences, gates, and locking up when I leave to make sure your pet is safe and secure between my visits and while you are away. Whatever instructions you leave for me, I will follow.

If your pet prefers a slower pace, I’m just as happy to enjoy cozy couch cuddles and calm hang-outs. I’m also a cat mom, so I fully understand the different needs and quirks of both dogs and cats. Whether it’s playtime, exercise, or just keeping their routine consistent, your pet will be treated like family. My partner and I both have very flexible schedules, which means one of us is always home and available to give your pet attention, supervision, and love throughout the day. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are my top priorities. Can’t wait to meet your furry friend! 💛🐶🐱 I’m self-employed and work entirely on my own schedule, and my boyfriend does the same. Because of that flexibility, we’re able to ensure that someone is always home to give your cat consistent care, attention, and supervision. Your baby will never be left alone for long periods — they’ll have company, comfort, and plenty of love throughout the day. We live in a home with a spacious, fully fenced backyard that has plenty of sun and grass for your pet to enjoy safely. We’re also just one block from a large park with a huge open grass field, perfect for playtime, walks, and outdoor enrichment. I’m a very clean and organized person, and I always clean up after pets and keep spaces tidy. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I’ll make sure everything stays neat, maintained, and respected while you’re away.
About: I am a definite cat and dog lover. I've grown up to take care of dogs of different breeds and sizes. I love them all and treat each of them as if they are my own. I am currently available during weekdays and weekends. I work from home full time and flexible to different times of the day. Feel free to message me with any questions! The way I care for pets in my home is pay attention to their wants and needs. I love being active, energetic and playful with pets to make them feel safe, comfortable and happy!
About: I originally grew up taking care of rabbits,guinea pigs, and chinchillas, which included grooming / shaving/ nail clippings and baths. I even litter trained them myself. I learned at a young age how to be gentle with all types of small animals and the importance of a clean environment. I am also available for exotic animal drop in visit care services (rabbits, guinea pigs, chinchillas). In my later years I fell in love with dogs and cats. I rescued all of my cats from trees and crawl spaces and learned how to cut their nails as well. When I got my first schnauzer - I learned the joy of training, patience, and positive reinforcement. My favorite thing to do is walk and spend time with animals, so it only makes sense that I create a lifestyle conducive to the things that bring me joy. I love spoiling dogs with special treats and I always talk to them like I would a person because they are so smart and pick up so many words. Walking with dogs outside, playing, chasing squirrels, and the joy of fresh air is my favorite thing to do. No walk is ever long enough for me. I am highly interactive and assertive to animals needs and I know how important positive energy is for their wellness. A good environment allows them to thrive and trust the company they are with. I am currently working part time, and I have a somewhat flexible work schedule, so pet care is something I enjoy and do daily as I have a pup of my own. I share my pup part time with my ex partner, so I have many days available to help take care of other animals. If it was completely up to me I’d have a tiny farm. I love animals so much and walking dogs is my absolute favorite pastime. I live in a one bedroom apartment with my cat Penny. My pup visits me two days a week. My cat is very dog friendly because she is used to my pup visiting twice a week. Fresh water, teeth brushing, home cooked meals/kibble are all things I do and I have stairs for smaller dogs to come on my couch. No areas in my home are off limits to pets.
About: I’ve take care of every type of animal you can even think of, I’ve had rabbits, dogs, reptiles, cats, horses, guinea pigs, turtles, whatever you name I’ve taken care of it. If someone asked me to take care of their pet raccoon, I’d do it. I always have and always will be an animal Lover. I am part/full time and I’m open whatever days I’m needed. I’m available during the weekdays if you have work and weekends I’d you are busy. I have a fenced yard and my home is always welcome to any dog but if the owner would rather me stay at their home that’s okay with me too.

About: A Little About Me 🐾 Ever since I was young, I’ve had a strong connection with animals, especially dogs. They have always been a constant part of my life, helping me develop a deep understanding of their behavior, communication, and social interactions. I am attentive, experienced, and always focused on maintaining a safe and positive environment for every dog in my care. I closely monitor all interactions and am proactive in addressing any unsafe behavior, whether playful or otherwise. My home features a secure property with tall fencing around the entire perimeter 🏡. The space is divided into separate areas to accommodate different playgroups, from small dogs to extra-large breeds, with plenty of shade and room to relax and play. Behavior Assessment 📋 For first-time guests, I typically require a behavior assessment before their stay. However, I understand that emergencies and last-minute situations happen, and I can be flexible when needed. If your dog has not completed an assessment beforehand, I will conduct one at drop-off. Introductions are done gradually and carefully, starting with my dog, Maya 🐕, before meeting the rest of the pack. If your dog is not comfortable in a group setting, they can be accommodated separately with their own indoor room and outdoor space. Before Your Dog’s Stay Please let me know: • Does your dog have any allergies? • Is your dog up to date on all vaccinations? • Is your dog currently taking any medications? Additionally, please share anything else that may help me provide the best care possible, including: • Resource guarding tendencies • Escape or fence-jumping behaviors • Eating non-food items or foreign objects • Previous incidents involving dogs or people • Anxiety, fears, or special handling needs Please also let me know about any special dietary requirements. If your dog eats wet food or requires refrigerated items, I have a full-size refrigerator available for storage. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and enjoyable experience for every dog in my care. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out—I am always happy to help! This is my full-time calling 🐾. I am available on weekdays, weekends, and holidays. There are occasional moments where I may need to step out for errands or appointments, but my family is always there to help with the dogs' care. Thank you for understanding 🙏. Pick-Up & Drop-Off 🚗 Our pick-up and drop-off times are flexible. We can accommodate as late as 11pm and as early as 5am if needed, including drop-offs the night before if you have an early departure — all at no extra cost 🙌. We also accommodate longer-term stays. The longest we've had a dog with us was around 8 months. No matter the length of the stay, we send regular updates — whether it's a text, photos, or videos — so you're always in the know. We offer a hybrid style of play — both free play and structured play 🐾. Negative behavior is calmly corrected, ensuring a safe and positive environment for all. Dogs sleep inside in a fully air-conditioned space ❄️, provided with beds and blankets, Dogs comfortable with pack life are welcome to free roam in a home-like environment 🏡, while higher energy dogs are separated as needed to ensure proper rest and health for all, fresh water is provided at all times. Safety is a top priority 🔒. Our property is fully enclosed with a 6ft fence & there is always someone present— keeping everyone happy and safe!
“Hi I'm Christopher Braig and I am a middle school music teacher in South Central and Jazz Musician. I have only been in LA two years and I often go to see my daughters in St. Louis. I must insist on telling this was the best experience we have ever had on Rover bar none. Shardae took the time time to frequently and in detail tell us of how our old man toy poodle Oreo was doing. And she did in such a fun way it made me and girls laugh. Thank you Shardae I will be doing some traveling this summer and we hope you are available. CB”
“There’s a reason Brian has such great reviews. He’s amazing. He had a great connection with my dog, who is usually quite aloof with strangers. I could tell she was comfortable and happy with him- which is such a great relief when leaving your dog in someone’s care. His communication and updates were perfect, and he was very flexible and accommodating with the drop off and pick up times. I like that he takes the time to do a meet and greet before taking on a client. I will definitely book Brian again.”
“Gina was a wonderful caregiver to my almost 14 yr old Boston terrier for the weekend while I was away moving. She was able to take Lena on short notice which I’m very grateful to her for. My dog really enjoyed her stay!”
“Mollie was such a great dog sitter to Dexter , she gave me updates && sent me a lot of pictures. Highly recommend. Will definitely be rebooking. Thank you.”
“Bethany took great care of our dog Bella. She texted us several pictures and updates while we were away so we knew everything was going well. Would highly recommend Bethany for your dog boarding needs.”
“So grateful for Emily and Maple! Emily was great about sending me updates and info on Cookie while I was away. She handled all of my dogs medical info great. My baby is blind and deaf so I really appreciate the updates and love she received. Cookie and Maple got along well and became buds!”
“Shane was awesome with our 11 month old Lab, Bella! She is definitely a true puppy in every sense of the definition, and Shane was wonderful with her. We got tons of videos and photos throughout the week that she stayed over. Shane even dropped her off for us, which was super helpful. I know Bella loved her stay because she slept by the front door the night she came home (which she has never done). I'm pretty sure she was waiting for Shane to come back lol. Will for sure contact Shane for future stays!”
“Angelica is THE most WONDERFUL pet sitter EVER!!! I cannot say enough about the care that our dog. I have received texts, lot of pictures, and videos while we have been gone updating me on their (Angelica, her husband and her son) activities. I can honestly say that I do not worry about Toffrey at all while we are gone. We were gone for almost three weeks, and I could enjoy my trip knowing she was there taking care of and giving the best of care to my dog. There was a thorough interview before she took the job and everything was covered to ensure the best quality care would be given to my dog and I am surprised she is given more than I expected. All I can say is WOW, I am so totally impressed! I need never look for any other pet sitter ever again. I have found the VERY BEST!!!! ***** Five stars plus …”
“Aubrey is very attentive to our dog’s needs. Goose is a nervous girl, and Aubrey takes care to make sure that she’s comfortable. She also checked in with us when Goose showed some pain/concerning behavior (she has an existing knee problem) and followed up with what care we recommended. She was communicative and obviously loves animals!”
About: Are you the kind of dog parent who crosses the street if other dogs are in sight or purposely walking at off hours to protect your (and your babies) peace? I know the feeling. As a dog parent to one reactive nervous nelly and one perfectly social senior I know what it is like to balance both and how different both of their needs are in order for both to be happy and comfortable. Wether it be administering meds, special walk considerations or just a little extra tlc I’d love to give your pup the same special treatment I give my own. I frequently volunteer with rescue and have experience caring for dogs with medical needs. I currently work from home so am able to spend the majority of time with your pup and get walks in 4+ times per day or as needed. I live in an apartment with my two friendly senior dogs who are both on daily medication themselves. We go on minimum four walks a day emphasizing a slow sniff for all the leisure goodness. With seniors myself I know that energy can vary so I am used to monitoring for fatigue to adjust and taking their lead.
“John and Miyabi were so sweet with our dog. They sent us several pictures and updates each day. I am so happy to have had a safe place for my dog. This is only the second time I’ve used rover.com so I am very satisfied with the experience.”
