“Great host for our dog!! Very good communication with frequent updates and even pictures and videos. We know he had a good time. We would book with Tatiana again.”
“I wanted to share my wonderful experience with Jenny and her family. From the pictures sent, they were incredibly attentive and loving towards my Stormy. She sent daily updates with pictures, which gave me great peace of mind. My 🐶 seemed happy and well-cared for upon my return, which is all I could ask for. I highly recommend this provider to anyone needing reliable and compassionate dog care. Also, can't forget to mention she accomdate my same day request for dog care. She even came home with a new bandana 💜”
“It’s my very first time looking for a pet sitter because I’m always so anxious about leaving my dogs with people that I don’t know but I can’t thank Stephanie enough for taking care of my puppies! It was a great experience, my dogs had fun, played with other dogs and she was so accommodating to their needs and also to my last minute changes! I was getting daily updates and pictures too! I was comfortable because she has so many years of experience and a lot of good reviews! I can fully recommend her and I would definitely be happy to bring my dogs again! Thank you so much!!!”
“Shardae provided lots of picture and updates. My pup was always smiling, I could tell he really enjoyed all the attention and love he was getting! Will definitely book again.”
About: I’ve been officially pet sitting consistently since 2024 and have built my client base through word-of-mouth referrals and repeat bookings. I grew up with dogs but through petsitting, have experience caring for dogs, cats, birds, tortoises, betta fish, shrimp, and chameleons. Most of my experience is with overnight stays ranging from weekend trips to 1–2 week vacations. I’m detail-oriented, adaptable, and take pride in following care instructions closely while keeping owners updated with photos and messages throughout their trip. As a powerlifter and active person, I’m comfortable with both short and long walks and can keep up with high-energy & strong dogs. I work in-office during weekdays but am available mornings, evenings, overnights, and am fully flexible on weekends. My goal is simple: to make sure your pets feel safe and comfortable while giving you peace of mind when you’re away. I work in an office Monday through Friday, so I'm most flexible on weekends. For pets that are comfortable being home during the workday, I'm available for feeding, bathroom, and walks before work, in the evenings, overnight, and throughout the weekend. I am detail-oriented, adaptable, and take pride in following care instructions closely so pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I’m flexible to either board your pet in my home, stay at your home whether for drop in visits or overnight stays, whatever you and your pet feel works best for their comfort. Prior to the stay, (my home or yours), we will go over your pet’s routine and your expectations to make sure this is a good fit before moving forward.
“We always know that Lulu is in good hands with Beverly. Lulu always has a great time staying there, and Beverly takes the time to let Lulu play in the water (which she quickly discovered is Lulu’s favorite). Beverly is also very responsive. Lulu always looks forward to her visits.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better experience! We left our golden retriever with this wonderful family and their golden while we were out of town celebrating our son’s birthday. From the very beginning, their communication was excellent and they made us feel completely at ease. Our dog had the best time — it was her very first time staying with another golden retriever, and the two of them clearly had a blast together! Knowing she was in such loving, attentive hands allowed us to fully enjoy our family trip without worry. The updates and photos we received were such a treat. This family clearly adores dogs and provides genuine, caring, home-away-from-home care. We are already planning to book them again for our next trip. Highly, highly recommend!”
“As usual, Jami & Frances were fantastic! My dog Murphy is pretty much a regular with them. They love him and treat him like family every time he stays with them. Communication is always clear and timely and I couldn't ask for a better sitter. They are simply wonderful.”
“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!”
“Yoshi had a great time staying over with Elaine while his parents were traveling. She is so communicative and sends the funniest pictures of him with his other doggy friends.”
“Our dog Daisy did quite well with Vanessa. And we really appreciated her organizing a "meet and greet" prior to her stay, as this was the first time for Daisy to board anywhere ever. Overall. We are quite happy to have found a host for Daisy that we can trust. Thank you, Vanessa!”
“Stephanie was great! Wonderful communication and prompt responses. She sent lots of photos throughout our dogs stay which made us feel very comfortable and happy. This was our first Rover and Wes can be difficult, so we really appreciate all the care and love Stephanie gave him!”
“Joshua and Jennifer were absolutely amazing. I felt so comfortable leaving my two pug babies with them for the weekend knowing they were in such good hands. They had so much fun and were even spoiled with Halloween doggy treats, even came home with little goodies! Jennifer was wonderful with communicating with me the whole time as well which was huge for me. Thanks you guys! Will be taking them here again :)”
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
“I always leave my frenchie Elsa with Chieko and she has a blast every time! She loves coming here and playing with the other doggies. She’s always a happy girl. Def recommend!”
“Sherry and her husband Andreas took such good care of my baby. He was a little anxious the first night but they were so patient with him. I will definitely use them again. Thank you so much for such a great experience.”
“Kyle was very communicative and responsive. We met up a day or so before our scheduled boarding and did a meet and greet. Our dogs got along well and made the drop off much easier and stress-free. Our dog came back happy and well cared for. We look forward to using Kyle again in the future.”

“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”
“Zulaiha did a great job caring for our babies and sending detailed updates and pictures during her visit. She was very helpful with stepping in last minute and making sure one of our cats got his medicine and special food. Would definitely recommend!”
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: Since 2016, I have had three cats of my own, one from a rescue and two that were strays, who allowed me to understand the autonomy and needs of a little being. Whether they were sick, or sick of the food they've been eating, I provided the most appropriate care for them to make this the best life out of their nine lives!
“Ginny took such phenomenal care of my kitties and my Apartment! Couldn’t ask for better! Apparently a plumbing back up happened from the neighbors upstairs and Ginny contacted me right away and stayed there to let maintenance repair it. So thankful she was there and she cleaned up everything after. My kitties are very happy and love her so much!! Thank you again Ginny and we will see you again super soon!”
“"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!"”
“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.”
“We’ve been booking Donny as our cat sitter for the past year whenever we need to travel to Vegas for work. He’s a dedicated cat sitter, our cats love him, even our skittish outdoor cat. Donny even manages to track down our outdoor cat at night to bring him inside, very impressive. He keeps them from stealing food from each other, plays well with them, and our house never smells like dirty litter when we get home! As we are moving to Vegas I’m sure our cats will miss him very much! We hope to book him in the future again if/when we move back to LA!”
“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.”
“I don't have the words to express how AMAZING Elaine is! We booked her for twice a day drop-ins with our cats while we spent a week in Britain. After the first day we knew that we made the right choice and our babies were in good hands. Knowing this allowed us to truly enjoy our trip. She went way above and beyond what we expected. She loves animals and her job and that's the best combination possible. If you're considering, book her now!”
“I recently had the pleasure of having Sharde as my cat sitter, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! From the moment I reached out, she was incredibly responsive and professional. Throughout my trip, Sharde kept me updated with adorable pictures and thoughtful messages, which made me feel connected to my cat even while I was away. When I returned home, my cat were happy and relaxed — a true testament to Sharde's care and attentiveness. I highly recommend Sharde to anyone looking for a cat sitter.”
“Sarah was great with our cat! She was very communicative and also went above and beyond to help bring in deliveries while we were out of town. We will definitely hire her again!”
About: I have always been a dog person after watching the movie Beverly Hills Chihuahua. Ever since I was little we have always owned a dog, my god parents gave me a beautiful little shitzu but unfortunately we had to rehome him but years later I bought my own little maltese poodle. I have quite the experience with dogs because I’ve always been around them whether it’s my own, my family’s or friend’s. I currently only work 3 days out of the week as a receptionist in a chiropractor’s office so I have so much free time for your pups! I will spend time with your fur babies such as taking them on long walks, perhaps even teaching them a couple new tricks, cuddle with them and bathe them if you feel comfortable with that.
About: I’ve had a love for cats since I was 6 years old feeding the strays in my neighborhood. I’ve always been around cats, whether its family or friends, or my own kitties, so I have a lot of experience and knowledge about how to properly care for and love them.
About: I have a 5-year-old Bengal who is truly my whole world, and caring for him has given me years of hands-on, real-life cat experience. He joins me on camping trips, hikes, road trips across states, hotel stays, and he goes on daily leash walks—so I deeply understand everything from routine care to travel comfort to keeping curious, high-energy cats safe and happy. Because I’m absolutely obsessed with my own cat, I bring that same level of love, attentiveness, and patience to every cat I care for. Whether your kitty is playful, shy, independent, cuddly, or a little quirky, I’ll meet them exactly where they’re at. I’m here to make sure your cat feels comfortable, enriched, and cared for while you’re away—whether that means quiet company, lots of playtime, keeping up their routine, or sending you plenty of photo updates. I’d love the chance to take care of your cat like they’re part of my own family. 💛🐱
“Casey is great! She is a quick responder. She set up a meet and greet within 48 hours of us requesting services. She’s very communicative and asks all of the right questions. She showed up on time for our hour drop in. Our dogs love her. We would definitely hire her again.”
About: Hi there! Animals have always been a huge part of my life. From a young age, I felt a special connection with them, and that passion eventually grew into a career dedicated to their health, safety, and well-being. I currently work remotely, full-time, for a nonprofit animal protection organization and have more than eight years of professional veterinary experience. I’ve worked in both a family-owned general practice and a specialty emergency animal hospital. As a companion animal owner myself, I understand how difficult it can be to leave your furry family member in someone else’s care. My goal is to make that experience as stress-free as possible for both you and your companion. Whether we’re going for a walk, enjoying playtime, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I’ll make sure your companion receives the attention, safety, structure, and affection they deserve. ❤️ Because I work remotely, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to incorporate pet care into my daily routine. Outside of occasional errands, travel, or personal commitments, I am generally available for afternoon and evening drop-in visits throughout the week. I am also available for in-home pet sitting, which allows your companion animal(s) to remain in the environment where they feel most comfortable and secure. PLEASE NOTE, for in-home pet sitting that falls on weekdays (Mon–Fri): As mentioned above, I work remotely and will need WiFi access throughout the day while caring for your companion animal(s). To help protect your network security, I recommend providing me with a temporary or guest password. Whether you’re out of town overnight or away for a few weeks, I am available to provide house and pet sitting in the comfort of your home. I believe it’s often best for companion animals to remain in their familiar environment, where they can maintain their normal routines and feel safe, secure, and comfortable. While you’re away, I will provide attentive, compassionate care tailored to your pet’s individual needs. This includes feeding, fresh water, exercise, playtime, enrichment, medication administration if needed, and plenty of affection. I understand that trusting someone with both your companion animal(s) and your home is a big decision. You can expect clear communication, reliability, and regular updates, including photos and messages, so you can have peace of mind knowing your companion is safe and well cared for while you’re away.
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!
About: I have been in the vet industry for 5 years as a vet assistant/technician and currently in college to further my veterinary career. I absolutely love all animals and I am only working part time due to my schooling so I have extra time to spend with new fur babies! I have much experience with big & small dogs, shy, anxious and frightened dogs due to my work I know exactly how to approach and treat a dog and to build that trust and bond :) I have always owned all types of dogs and many cats since a child and now have a frenchie and cat of my own that I adore. I am currently working part time and create my own work schedule so I have plenty of time for last minute and scheduled pet care! Having a dog of my own who is not dog friendly all of the time, I know the importance of keeping them at a safe distance with others or when it is socially safe and acceptable for them to interact with other dogs and humans. From working in an environment with dogs that clients leave with us to keep safe I know the importance of doors to be closed as possibly when entering a home and keeping a leash on at all times. Safety will always be my top priority!

“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.”
“This was “Kobe’s” second time staying with Elaine. I knew I had made the right choice because when I dropped him off, he recognized the place and got super excited, like when we go to the dog park or the dog beach. Elaine and her husband are wonderful dog sitters, and I’m very pleased with their doggie hospitality.”
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.
“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!”
“Bailey had such a blast at daycare with Liz, Ash & their dog, Miles! We knew our pup would be in great hands as soon as we met Liz & Ash, they are super friendly and extremely responsive. They made us feel comfortable right away and took such great care of Bailey while we were at work with frequent updates. They have a beautiful backyard that our dog loved so much - I think she had a hard time coming home afterwards! Their dog Miles is high energy (super great playmate) but is also very respective of our dogs boundaries when she didn’t want to play or share toys. He’s a very good boy! We definitely recommend Liz & Ash and Bailey will be back!!”
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.
“I had a really positive experience with Emilio and his wife. They made me feel very comfortable and took good care of my puppy. He had a good time playing with their dogs and I would highly recommend.”
“Claire watched our two big dogs for a day of camp while we hosted a party at the house. She was punctual, communicative, sent photos, and as an added bonus she took the initiative to brush and comb our dogs. They came back to us in better shape than when we dropped them off! Highly recommend Claire’s services and we will book again.”
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.
“Tofu had a great time with Pia for doggy daycare! She was with Pia for two days, and Pia did a wonderful job of taking care of her. Pia was very responsive and provided updates, as well as taking Tofu out for walks + feeding her dinner. Overall, would definitely recommend and rebook with her in the future!”
“Marco had a wonderful day! I really appreciated all the updates and photos throughout his stay. It was great seeing that he got a nice walk and lots of attention. He came home happy and relaxed, which is always the best sign. Thank you for taking such good care of him — I would definitely book again!”
About: I’ve helped train, and care for dogs for several years, and I love working with all sizes and breeds. It makes my day to be able to work with dogs and be able to care for them. Currently have a flexible schedule, as I make my own hours and with part time work and online classes. Willing to work on weekends as well. I work well with schedules and instructions particular to each individual dog. I make sure to follow what the dog parents goals are when it comes to care, as well as bring a fun and loving energy to every dog I care for.
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: Hi! My name is Taylor & I’m a lifelong animal lover. I’ve had dogs & cats my entire life, so caring for them & connecting with them has always felt natural to me. I’ve worked with all kinds of breeds & personalities. Because of that, whether a dog is big, tiny, energetic, shy, or anything in between, I feel completely comfortable. Dogs are 100% little angels & gifts. They depend on our love & care, & I’m genuinely grateful every time someone trusts me with their fur baby. I treat every pet like my own & always go above & beyond to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, & loved. I know how important it is to trust your dog sitter, & I value that responsibility with my whole heart. Feel free to reach out with any questions you may have. I’d love to meet you both & set up a booking whenever you’re ready. Thanks! 😊 I currently work remotely, which gives me the flexibility to spend plenty of time with your pup throughout the day. I love being able to take them on 2–3 walks, give them lots of attention, & make sure they feel happy, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I truly love animals & will treat your pup like my own. I have a spacious one-bedroom apartment with a park conveniently located right next to my complex, making it easy for pups to get plenty of fresh air, exercise, & enrichment. I live a very active lifestyle & regularly walk about 5 miles a day, so your dog will have lots of opportunities to get out & explore. Most dogs in my care enjoy at least 1–2 hours of walks daily, depending on their age, energy level, & individual needs. Whether we’re strolling through the neighborhood, walking along the beach, or hitting a local hiking trail, I love making sure dogs get the exercise, attention, & adventure they deserve. When I’m house sitting, I care for your home with the same respect I would want someone to show mine. I’m incredibly grateful for the trust my clients place in me, & I always make sure to thoroughly clean up after myself & leave your home just as I found it. I also know how important updates are when you’re away from your furry family member! I send lots of photos throughout the day, including updates from walks, meals, treats, playtime, relaxation time, & bedtime, so you can feel connected & know exactly how your pet is doing. And if your pup is used to sleeping in bed with their humans, that’s perfectly fine with me! My goal is to make them feel as comfortable, loved, & at home as possible while you’re away. I truly love caring for animals & treat every pet as if they were my own. 😊
“This was first time leaving our pup day care using Rober. Sonish is excellent and very communicative. He made us feel very comfortable. We received updates with pictures and video. He is truly dog lover and made my dog feel comfortable and welcomed. Thank you so much for caring my pup!”
“Amazing! He said my puppy was going to be his first! From start to finish, he responded quick, very friendly. I could tell that my puppy had a lot of fun because she got home and she went straight to bed. On the other hand, I had a big issue, I had a flat tire in the middle of the road while taking Schatzi to his house and I let him know and he offered to pick Schatzi up. Another huge plus. He offered to help me out with my flat tire, he put my spare tire so I could go to the tire shop. I am really grateful to have met him. I could tell that he was wonderful with my baby. Thank you again!”

About: I have been lucky enough to take care of animals for over 12 years. My first job was at an animal shelter where I was responsible for feeding, medication, walks and training dogs on how to acclimate to a new home. Since then I have worked in every aspect of animal care including sitting (12 years), training (10 years) and grooming (4 years). A proud pet parent myself, I will treat your animal as family. I am currently project based, and as such am available full time to take care of pet's needs. Extended stays (7 days or more) will require more notice than others. I know that pets thrive with routine. I will do everything I can to make your pet feel completely at ease in your absence and will send photos and progress reports every day. I also take safety very seriously, and no measure is too much in order to make sure your house and pet are secure and well taken care of.
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: I've had a lifelong love for animals, from being a devoted mom to two energetic huskies to caring for both dogs and cats throughout my life. I also have experience looking after senior and special needs animals, so I truly understand the unique needs of pets. I’m passionate about providing attentive, loving care to every pet as if they were my own. I make time for all pets and am here to help you with any needs. Animals are my passion and I look forward to meeting your sweet furry kids. When caring for pets in their home, I ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I offer personalized care based on each pet's needs, which includes regular walks to keep them active and healthy, interactive playtime to keep them engaged, and plenty of attention to make sure they feel secure. I also follow any specific instructions from the pet owner to maintain consistency and routine. Above all, safety is my top priority, and I always ensure pets are in a secure environment, whether I’m indoors or out, and that they have plenty of fresh water, food, and comfortable resting spaces.
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.
“Allen was very professional and cordial. He was very open with communication and vibed with our dogs. I would recommend him to anyone that expects the level of care our furry family members deserve.”
“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.”
About: I’ve had my own dog, Lou, for the past three years, and caring for him has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. Ever since I was a child, I dreamed of having a dog my own. I even asked for one every birthday and holiday, and when I couldn’t have one, I collected stuffed animals instead. When I finally got Lou, I treated him like family. I dedicated my summer breaks to training him, even waking up at 3 a.m. to stay consistent with his routine and help him become a well behaved, happy dog. Caring for Lou has taught me patience, responsibility, and the importance of understanding each dog’s unique personality. I’ll care for your pet with the same love, attention, and dedication that I give my own. Weekends are when I’m most available! I’m happy to help with walks, drop-in visits, or pet sitting. If you need weekday care, feel free to reach out. I’ll always do my best to accommodate with your schedule! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust someone with a beloved family member. I care for every pet with the same patience, attention, and love that I give my own dog, Lou. Working part-time has taught me to stay organized, responsible, and keep spaces clean and well maintained. I’ve also worked as a dance teacher’s assistant my senior year of High School, where I learned the importance of being dependable, attentive, and creating a safe, positive environment. You can count on me to follow your pet’s routine carefully, communicate with you, and make sure your furry family member feels safe and cared for while you’re away. As well as always keeping you updated throughout the day!
“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!”
About: Fur Baby Caretaker LLC OUT OF TOWN AUGUST 14th-17th!! I’ve absolutely adored animals since I was 4yrs old. I started getting educated on animals at a young age and knew my dream was to work with animals. I started my professional career in the industry in 2017. I worked at a dog daycare and boarding facility for a year, then moved on to a facility for dogs and cats, which I worked at from 2018-2022. Over the years at these facilities, I’ve learned about proper care, training and grooming techniques for dogs, and care for cats. I have plenty of experience working with different breeds of dogs from the smallest teacup poodle, to the chunkiest bulldog, to the biggest Great Dane. I’ve worked with many different breeds, sizes and personalities in large daycare groups, so I’ve learned how to manage different demeanors in different settings. With cats, I understand their boundaries and don’t like to force any interaction on them, but if they are comfortable with it I give them lots of love. I’ve also volunteered at a shelter for dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, and rodents. At the shelter, I focused on learning how to properly care for rodents and cats. *I don’t discriminate against any pet’s breed, size, age, medical condition, etc. I treat them all with the best care.* **I am able to dispense oral medication to pets if necessary. I AM NOT CERTIFIED TO GIVE INJECTION (NEEDLE INVOLVED) MEDICATION** I work part time in Gardena in the afternoon-evening Mon-Fri, but typically am home or close by during most of the day and on weekends. I tend to stay local when running errands. My apartment is gated and a code or key is needed to enter the premises. We have a large grass area right out front, which is not gated. There’s plenty of grass and parks in the neighborhood to go to during walks. My apartment is on the second floor with the luxury of having the parking garage underneath me, so your pet running around the house won’t disturb anyone! I stay alert and aware of my surroundings at all times for safety purposes. I have multiple rooms and gates to separate pets when necessary (feeding, bedtime, rest breaks…etc.) My pets are flea treated regularly and stay up to date on their vaccines. **IMPORTANT NOTICE BELOW!!! In order to keep my home a healthy and clean environment for all, IF PETS ARRIVE WITH FLEAS I require a $50-$100 cleaning fee AND a flea bath may apply with a MINIMUM charge of $38/pet bathed. I HIGHLY recommend flea treatments and checking your pets for fleas BEFOREHAND to avoid additional charges. ADDITIONALLY, if your pet causes any damages to my property there will be a MINIMUM charge of $25 for repairs/replacements.**
“Sarah was able to help us last minute and did a great job communicating with us while we were at a music festival. Sarah sent pictures and updates throughout the visit. She also played with our dog to help relive energy.”
About: I worked as a vet tech for 6 years and dog grooming for 4 years. Ive had dogs my whole life. I can't wait to meet your family member! I love walking and what's better than walking? Walking with a loving friend of the family. I will drop everything for a dog in need. I always make sure to keep open communication with the owners and other family members. Also I love sending little photos or videos of us :)
“Tatiana did an excellent job with our special needs dog . He is completely blind but loves walks. She selected places that best suited him. Tatiana has a strong intuitive sense of dogs , as well as being bright and active. She is not lazy. Tatiana did a wonderful job and I would hire her again.”
“Elaine was very friendly and considerate. My dog loved Elaine from the get-go. She visited to walk my dog as promised/planned, and she gave plenty of photos and videos after each of her visits. I would definitely consider hiring Elaine again the next time I have to leave my dog home alone.”

About: I have always been a dog person after watching the movie Beverly Hills Chihuahua. Ever since I was little we have always owned a dog, my god parents gave me a beautiful little shitzu but unfortunately we had to rehome him but years later I bought my own little maltese poodle. I have quite the experience with dogs because I’ve always been around them whether it’s my own, my family’s or friend’s. I currently only work 3 days out of the week as a receptionist in a chiropractor’s office so I have so much free time for your pups! I will spend time with your fur babies such as taking them on long walks, perhaps even teaching them a couple new tricks, cuddle with them and bathe them if you feel comfortable with that.
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: 8 years experience in in-home dog and cat sitting, including overnight stays, walks around the neighborhood, feeds, playtime, and as much love and care as if it were my own pet. 💛 I have many references I would love to share upon requested, as most of my pet experience has been booked outside of rover and by word of mouth! 😊 Current Clinical Counseling Master's student working at a therapy practice two days a week. Outside of traveling, schedule is very open and flexible to fit the needs of the client. 🥰 I'm very conscious and safe when animals are in my care just as if they were my own, in-home sitting I am respecting of all the animals but also the home. 🏡😊
About: I have been in the vet industry for 5 years as a vet assistant/technician and currently in college to further my veterinary career. I absolutely love all animals and I am only working part time due to my schooling so I have extra time to spend with new fur babies! I have much experience with big & small dogs, shy, anxious and frightened dogs due to my work I know exactly how to approach and treat a dog and to build that trust and bond :) I have always owned all types of dogs and many cats since a child and now have a frenchie and cat of my own that I adore. I am currently working part time and create my own work schedule so I have plenty of time for last minute and scheduled pet care! Having a dog of my own who is not dog friendly all of the time, I know the importance of keeping them at a safe distance with others or when it is socially safe and acceptable for them to interact with other dogs and humans. From working in an environment with dogs that clients leave with us to keep safe I know the importance of doors to be closed as possibly when entering a home and keeping a leash on at all times. Safety will always be my top priority!

“It’s my very first time looking for a pet sitter because I’m always so anxious about leaving my dogs with people that I don’t know but I can’t thank Stephanie enough for taking care of my puppies! It was a great experience, my dogs had fun, played with other dogs and she was so accommodating to their needs and also to my last minute changes! I was getting daily updates and pictures too! I was comfortable because she has so many years of experience and a lot of good reviews! I can fully recommend her and I would definitely be happy to bring my dogs again! Thank you so much!!!”
“Shardae provided lots of picture and updates. My pup was always smiling, I could tell he really enjoyed all the attention and love he was getting! Will definitely book again.”
About: I’ve been officially pet sitting consistently since 2024 and have built my client base through word-of-mouth referrals and repeat bookings. I grew up with dogs but through petsitting, have experience caring for dogs, cats, birds, tortoises, betta fish, shrimp, and chameleons. Most of my experience is with overnight stays ranging from weekend trips to 1–2 week vacations. I’m detail-oriented, adaptable, and take pride in following care instructions closely while keeping owners updated with photos and messages throughout their trip. As a powerlifter and active person, I’m comfortable with both short and long walks and can keep up with high-energy & strong dogs. I work in-office during weekdays but am available mornings, evenings, overnights, and am fully flexible on weekends. My goal is simple: to make sure your pets feel safe and comfortable while giving you peace of mind when you’re away. I work in an office Monday through Friday, so I'm most flexible on weekends. For pets that are comfortable being home during the workday, I'm available for feeding, bathroom, and walks before work, in the evenings, overnight, and throughout the weekend. I am detail-oriented, adaptable, and take pride in following care instructions closely so pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I’m flexible to either board your pet in my home, stay at your home whether for drop in visits or overnight stays, whatever you and your pet feel works best for their comfort. Prior to the stay, (my home or yours), we will go over your pet’s routine and your expectations to make sure this is a good fit before moving forward.
“We couldn’t have asked for a better experience! We left our golden retriever with this wonderful family and their golden while we were out of town celebrating our son’s birthday. From the very beginning, their communication was excellent and they made us feel completely at ease. Our dog had the best time — it was her very first time staying with another golden retriever, and the two of them clearly had a blast together! Knowing she was in such loving, attentive hands allowed us to fully enjoy our family trip without worry. The updates and photos we received were such a treat. This family clearly adores dogs and provides genuine, caring, home-away-from-home care. We are already planning to book them again for our next trip. Highly, highly recommend!”
“Yoshi had a great time staying over with Elaine while his parents were traveling. She is so communicative and sends the funniest pictures of him with his other doggy friends.”
“Stephanie was great! Wonderful communication and prompt responses. She sent lots of photos throughout our dogs stay which made us feel very comfortable and happy. This was our first Rover and Wes can be difficult, so we really appreciate all the care and love Stephanie gave him!”
“Great sitter. They follow all the instructions, making sure my dog was safe and well taking care of. My doggy enjoy staying at Quing. Will ask in the future to take care of my doggy again.”
“Emily was such a great pet sitter for my dog! She sent me updates with photos/vids daily which definitely eased my worries of leaving my senior dog with someone. I knew she was in great hands. Emily was also great at making sure Cleo had her daily walks and her regular schedule. She is a true gem and I'm so glad I found her (also in such close proximity) and would highly recommend her and use her for a future stay! :) thanks again Emily!”
“Knox absolutely loved his time with Brian!! I sincerely appreciate how well he took care of my little buddy. And all of the pictures and videos Knox looked like he was having the best time!”
“Artem was incredible! Our other Rover sitter fell through at the last minute, and he willingly took in our pup that same day, so we could catch our flight on time! He was very responsive, and it was clear that he kept a safe and structured environment for the dogs. I would highly recommend him and will definitely call on him the next time we need our dog boarded. Thank you again, Artem!”
“Gina is amazing! We were extremely nervous to leave our puppy with someone we didn’t know, but she made us completely comfortable. She was so welcoming to our little guy that he made himself at home instantly and didn’t even seem to notice when we left. Gina was with him the whole time and provided consistent updates. It was an overall great experience for all of us!”
“Would recommend Annie a million times over!!! We have separation anxious dog that has her quirks, but with Annie there were no whining or crying. Lots of update with pictures were the best to see, and eased our own stress lol Annie seriously went above and beyond our expectations! We could RELAX on our vacation and know Jane was also having a great time being loved!”
“John and Miyabi are quite possibly the most perfect doggie caretakers. We did a Meet & Greet and John immediately was calm kind and patient with Tango. We set our stay immediately! They sent us a thoughtful checklist before our visit so that it was one last thing to stress me out. We dropped Tango off, and he was met at Welcoming kindness and that calm presence. We had a family issue, and they were able, last minute, halfway into our trip, to watch him for almost 2 weeks. They even provided food. Each day we got fun photos and playtime and treats. A video of movie nights and bonding. We were at complete peace knowing Tango was having fun playing with other dogs with structured rest. He has an ongoing wound on his leg. They were so safety conscious and dressed it beautifully. Thank you John and Miyabi for your sweet texts and specialized care of our Tango. **Newcomers, hire these lovely people!**”
“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!”
“Michelle and her family were a 10/10. Miso had the best time with her and her kids and she was very well taken care of. She was also so good about sending so many photo and video updates and I appreciate her treating my girl like one of her own.”
“Lissa took great care of our doodle Bunsen. We received daily updates, including photos and videos letting us know how she was doing. Bunsen may have even been a little sad leaving her new doggy friend Nala. I'm really happy we found someone trustworthy to take care of our Bunsen and will definitely have Lissa take care of our pup again.”
