Nancy did everything to make us feel comfortable! Nancy was so accommodating. She sent updates every day (pics, texts, etc.) She took my pup on hikes every afternoon and gave him so many cuddles and so much attention! She even let me pick him up extremely late when my plane was delayed coming home.

“Highly recommend Irina! I’m so anxious leaving my dog when I leave on work trips he’s with me all day every day. I’m very particular with who I leave him with.

I was a little worried leaving her for two weeks which is the longest we’ve had to board her. Alicia and James made me feel so comfortable and sent lots of pictures letting me know when she ate and played. I really loved having them sit for us and would love to use them again in the future.”

Jack was very attentive and extremely responsive. He was great about sharing pics and video to let us know Elu was doing well. It was so tough leaving her for a week but we felt relieved to have found such a kind and thoughtful sitter as Jack! He was also great about taking her for walks and even a hike to Runyon Canyon! Since we’ve been home, Elu keeps looking for Jack at the door. It’s so sweet that she bonded with him and we now feel so much better about our next trip knowing she will be in such caring hands.”

“Joanne stayed with our cats, Charlie and Bear, for a week while we were traveling in Europe, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She was incredibly attentive and sent thoughtful daily updates with photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were out of the country. She was wonderful about communicating, asking questions when needed, and making sure both cats received the individual care and attention they needed. She was especially patient and caring while helping our newer cat continue to adjust, and it was clear she truly took the time to understand their personalities and make them feel comfortable. When we came home, our place was in excellent condition and our cats were clearly happy and well cared for. We’re so grateful for the love and attention she gave them and would absolutely book Joanne again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and caring sitter!”


“Ceara is the best! I always choose her 1st. My elderly kitty got her meds and I got fun pics of my girl with each visit, made exactly when requested. She even cleaned up a hairball! Thank you Ceara!”

“I asked Ashley to be my second sitter to look after my two kitties during our long vacation. She did a fabulous job and was especially helpful in encouraging my senior kitty to eat his full meal. Ashley was super flexible in accommodating my requests to say nothing of being trustworthy and reliable. We had an initial mis-communication about feeding that we quickly resolved as she always responded promptly and thoroughly to my messages. It was comforting to rely on her loving presence while we were half-way around the world. I’ll be happy to have her help again!”

“Sarah was awesome!! Not only was she super prepared and asked all the right questions prior to the pet sitting, she also made a great effort to spend quality time with our cat and play with her. 10/10 recommend and will be booking again!”


“Stephanie was amazing with our cats. We were totally at ease being away knowing she was keeping them happy & healthy. She was professional, kind, trustworthy, and just great overall!”

“My cat took to Elizabeth the minute she walked in (and my cat is very shy!) I felt more than safe knowing she was coming over every day to be her!! Also, bonus, she takes the MOST amazing pics!!! 😻”

“Yvonne took amazing care of my kitties while I was away and they absolutely adored her! She’s an exceptional cat sitter, great communicator and I look forward to calling on her again the next time I have to leave town!”


“Our senior cat feels very comfortable in Valerie’s care. She’s a wonderful cat sitter! Our cat needs medication and can be a bit difficult about taking it, but Valerie was able to give it to her without any issues. We felt completely at ease knowing our cat was in good hands. We’ll definitely be booking with Valerie again!”


“Trinity was AMAZING! Our cat is obsessed with attention, and she was so great about giving him love and taking care of him. We had a last minute change of plans, and she was so accommodating to add days and continue caring for our baby. We will definitely reach out again for our next trip!”


“This was our first weekend away with Mikayla taking care of our diabetic senior cat, Jodie, and she was an absolute dream! Incredibly prompt, kind, and communicative (with tons of photo updates!!). Jodie can be a bit shy and skittish, but seemed to warm up to Mikayla quickly. She even dealt with our nightmare of a parking situation like a champ. Would absolutely have her again to take care of Jodie!”


“Kendi was amazing with our kitties! She was available to sit very last minute for our wedding and we couldn’t be happier! She was super responsive and sent great pictures and report cards for our babies. Will definitely have her sit again!”

“Nico was fantastic. He was thorough, polite, communicative, and my cat connected with him right away. I think he truly understands animals and I felt completely at peace leaving my cat with him for a few days. I will definitely be using Nico's services again.”


“Ilana was an exceptional cat sitter. She spend ton of time with our girls and took care of them as if they were her own. Her daily updates were detailed and full of some of the best pictures we could have asked for. I will be booking her moving forward for all our petcare needs.”

“Dayna was so responsive and wonderful to work with! I can home to happy kitties and a content bunny. She also was so gracious and flexible working with and around my 92 year old grandmother’s schedule in our home. Can’t wait to have her back!”

“Ginneh was amazing again with my 2 cats! They love her energy and they are very happy when she is around. We don’t have to worry about our babies while away because we know Ginneh is taking care of everything! She sends us detailed check-ins and tons of photos. She does a detailed cleaning in their litter and bowls. Thank you again Ginneh!!!”

“Jessica did an excellent job taking care of my cats! I got daily update with photos while I was out of town for a week. She did an excellent job keeping the house tidy and the litter box fresh.”


About: I have spent many years caring for cats and understand that each one has its own unique personality, routine, and comfort level. Through experience caring for cats while house sitting and helping others with their pets, I have learned the importance of being attentive, patient, and respectful of each cat’s individual needs. Whether that means maintaining feeding schedules, keeping litter areas clean, providing playtime and attention, or simply giving them space when they prefer it, I focus on creating a calm and comfortable environment where they feel safe and well cared for. I always aim to provide reliable care and treat every cat with the same level of attention I would give my own pets.

“My pup had a lovely time with Nancy and her pack of 3 small dogs! We did a thorough Meet & Greet, introducing the dogs on a brief walk, seeing her home, and going through my dog’s routine and preferences. On the first day of dog sitting, Nancy sent me regular updates of everyone going on plenty of walks and getting along. I appreciated Nancy’s dedication as a dog lover and the thoughtful questions she asked to make my pup comfortable in her home 💜”

“I traveled to Burbank for a work event and needed a sitter for Missy on very short notice—less than 24 hours. Jose responded immediately and communicated so clearly throughout the process. On the day of the appointment, I ended up running an hour late, but he was incredibly accommodating and flexible with the schedule. He kept me updated by sending photos of Missy, which gave me peace of mind. When I’m back in LA, I’ll absolutely have Jose watch Missy again—I could tell she enjoyed her time with him too! Thank you so much, Daisy and Jose!”

“Amazing care for our two pups!! Elena was super responsive and understanding, even for our last-minute request. We needed doggy day care while we visited Universal Studios, as our hotel didn’t allow dogs to be left unattended in the room. We road-tripped down from Seattle (with our 2 dogs & 2 kiddos) and camped along the way, which left us a little frazzled and haggard... Elena was very empathetic and caring, despite my lack of proper research, planning, and punctuality.. lol Probably should’ve looked into things a bit more in-depth about the hotel pet policy beforehand, but I am incredibly grateful that Elena was able to take the pups while we visited the parks for a couple days. She was very tolerant, observant, and nurturing with our two pets, and I think they had a great time… even though they aren’t the best-trained dogs. We have a 4-year-old sassy chihuahua-heeler mix, and a 1.25-year-old Malinois-cattle dog mix. They are sweet girls, but have a strange dynamic. Elena took them in stride and handled them with care, as if they were her own. 10/10!! Couldn’t have asked for a better pet-sitter in our time of need. Thank you so much, Elena!!”

“Amorn and Adam were very nice. Sent lots of updates. Frida looks like she made herself right at home and had a great time. Thanks for taking her on short notice. See you next time.”


“Highly recommend Ten! She's quickly become a regular sitter for me. My dog gets excited to go to her place because she knows it means a fun day ahead! Ten's super communicative, kind, patient, and really great with dogs. 100/10!”

“Atlas absolutely loved hanging out with Ceara! She was so accommodating with his needs and went above and beyond with making him feel comfortable. I wish I could give more than 5 stars - I absolutely recommend Ceara!”

“I was taking my kids to Universal Studios and needed someone who could watch my boy Derby for a full day. Her dogs were mellow and friendly, she gave me updates though out the day, and I she was really good with my boy. He's older (13) and can be grumpy at times, but all was good. I was lucky to find her!”

“Tyler was so great!! I am so glad I found him on here, he was very attentive to all of my pup’s needs and so communicative which put me at ease. He went above and beyond to give her lots of love and great care while she was with him and I am so appreciative. 10/10 experience! ☺️”


About: Having a dog and 2 cats as a kid was the best childhood! I am home most of the day so I have lots of time to walk and play with your pup! I live with my boyfriend who also loves animals. I have been freelance dog sitting/walking for the last year through friends but looking for more furry friends here! Send me a message so we can talk more about you and your pet’s needs I work from home doing a part time job so I am mainly a home body. I am based in North Hollywood and generally service Noho, Burbank, Toluca Lake, Studio City and parts of Sherman Oaks I don’t accept animals from multiple households at once for my safety and theirs. I have multiple screen doors where they can safely watch the world outside at all the people and dogs who might pass by. I can also offer daytime sitting in someone’s home as long as my laptop and internet access is allowed!
“Areli is simply the best! Nami loves getting to spend time with her. She is also super understanding and flexible with scheduling. My partner and I got stuck in some pretty bad traffic causing us to be late for her pickup but Areli was super understanding. 100% recommend”


“Mayra was quickly responsive as well as very accommodating with my last minute need for dog sitting. Greatful she was able to watch Lucy for the day. Mayra has great energy and I highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs. 🩷”

“I was really nervous to leave my dog because it was his first time and he’s usually very scared of people. But she did an amazing job he had so much fun, felt completely relaxed at her place, and she took such good care of him. I highly recommend her a thousand times!”

About: Trusting someone with your family member is an important decision. My #1 priority is to make sure you and your pet are relaxed and at ease. I am a great communicator and have excellent relationships with my clients, so that I can always stay on top of your pets needs. I am also experienced with puppies, (especially Corgis and Goldens) as well as elderly pets. I would love the opportunity to meet you and your pet to see if I am a good fit. I have full availability - mornings, afternoons, evenings and weekends. I have some regular clients but I am also good in a pinch and can usually accommodate last minute requests. As mentioned, I will treat your pet like I would my own, always making sure that they are well taken care of -- I can provide a relaxed atmosphere or engage in play time. Everything is personalized to your pets needs. I also board/pet sit small to medium dogs and cats in my home - day care, overnights or vacations.
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Reliable, Caring, and Extremely Flexible Therese has been wonderful with Willow. After multiple day care visits, I can confidently say she is attentive, patient, and genuinely caring. Willow settled in quickly, felt completely comfortable, and spent much of the day relaxed and napping nearby, which speaks volumes. Therese was incredibly flexible and accommodating, especially during a longer day of care. She also periodically sent photos of Willow at her home, which was very reassuring and gave me great peace of mind knowing Willow was in excellent care. Willow came home happy and relaxed each time. I truly appreciate Therese’s consistency and reliability and would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend!”

“Veronica was available to care for our dog at very short notice and she was wonderful. Our dog had a great time playing around and would love to do this again.”

“It is always a pleasure to have Roxanne give my dog lots of friends and playtime while I’m at work. Great communication, very flexible, and a true professional.”
“This is Juno’s second visit with Scott and we couldn’t be happier. He is easy to book and he’s a proactive communicator, sending photos and updates. And he has dogs Juno can play with (she’s very high energy). This is a great fit for us and our pup. A+.”

“Tara is the absolute best! We came home with a brand new puppy and of course our return to work schedules changed. Tara was a life saver and watched Stevie for a couple months. Stevie had so much fun at Tara’s and came home nice and tired. Tara is an amazing communicator and I really appreciated all the daily photos, videos and end of day update cards. My family and I HIGHLY recommend Tara! She’s amazing!!!!”

“Thank goodness for Kendi! A weight is lifted off my shoulders knowing I have someone so reliable to care for my dog! She responds quickly and gets the jobs done no problem!”

About: Hi, I’m Allyssa! I’ve been caring for both dogs and cats my entire life. I have experience walking, training, exercising, playing and socializing with dogs and cats of all ages/breeds/sizes. I am a very attentive, kind, caring and patient person. To me a dog or a cat is one hundred percent more than a pet, but an extension of you, and therefore very much a part of your family. It’s my privilege and pleasure to provide your pet with the highest quality of care and respect. Every dog or cat I’ve come in contact with I’ve treated as my own, and I take pride in giving animals the special attention that every pet deserves. I will be 100% committed to being there for you and your pet.
About: Many of my closest buddies are doggies! Most recently I had two toy fox terriers for a decade, I have sat with all range of breeds and ages. There is a saying about dogs and children gravitating toward a person, isn't there? My friends and clients can tell you that I am trustworthy and communicative. I am a person that has been told: "they usually don't like strangers/people/visitors, but they love you!" I have years of loving dogs, I don't have any at the moment because I recently moved back from Europe. I look forward to meeting your family member and giving them love and attention while you are away. I have my own car, a fairly flexible schedule, and can't wait to meet new furry friends.
About: I grew up with two Shih Tzus and was always the designated dogsitter for my aunts and cousins. I have experience with big and small dogs. I've also taken care of both puppies and elderly dogs, and I will make sure he swallows that pill! This is my main job at the moment, so my schedule is wide open! I'm free for walks all throughout the week and can do drop-ins whenever needed. I'm also available to housesit on weekends and weekdays. I don't live with any pets of my own, so I promise to care for them the way I would my own dog. Your dog has my full, undivided attention!
“Sarah was wonderful. On day 2 the dogs were already sitting at the window waiting for her! I had surgery and she stepped into walking duties. I’m healed now and walking the dogs myself, but I can’t help but feel the twinge of their disappointment that I’m not Sarah. Highly recommend (speaking for me and the dogs)”


“Khadijah! Thank you SO much for making us feel comfortable. Being able to come on such short notice, giving a thorough report and easing my anxieties as a dog mommy. We will 100% rebook you again! We appreciate you more than you know. Piper thanks you too :-)”

“Elizabeth is a fantastic dog walker and we would recommend her to anyone who needs dog walking or dog sitting services. She is on time, fantastic with dogs, and was willing to work with us to provide care for our animals on short notice. We have worked with a few dog walkers in the past from Rover and Elizabeth is by far the best.”

“Catherine has been walking my two pups now for a couple of weeks and I am extremely satisfied with her service. I injured my knee a few weeks ago so I hired Catherine to walk my dogs twice a day. Catherine is always on time and very responsive should I need to change our schedule. My pups come back very energized and I can tell they got a nice workout.”

About: I have been around dogs my entire life. My friends, and friends of friends, call on me whenever they need a sitter for their dog(s) or cat(s). I have experience with young and senior animals. I'm currently working part-time and have free time to take care of your pet needs when you're busy. I am an early riser, but also a night owl. I can't currently care for pets in my home for longer than a day since I live in an apartment. If needed, my place will only accommodate small dogs.
“Adrianne is excellent! Responsive, friendly, communicative, accommodating with our schedule. Has been so sweet with our dog and our cats. She has even taken extra time on walks with our slower old girl. Feel very comfortable trusting her in our home and with our pets. Highly recommended.”

“Alisa, came through for my dog Blue and I last minute accommodating us with walks and being able to house sit and keep him company for a couple days as well. Very sweet and attentive person to have around your animal. Can’t thank Alisa enough.”

“John was extremely good with the dogs, very knowledgeable on handling them. Communication was excellent and John was very flexible with walking them. I wouldn’t hesitate to use him again.”

“Bailey was terrific! Went above and beyond in taking care of my dog Channy. Took her on nice long walks, played with her and made sure she drank some water. Will definitely be calling back!”

About: Hey there! My name is Shayla, and I’ve been caring for pets professionally since 2012, including working closely with celebrity clients and their beloved animals — many of whom required special attention, medical care, patience, and individualized routines. I understand how important it is to trust someone not only with your pets, but with the comfort and safety of your home I provide loving, reliable pet care with a calm and attentive approach, and I’m happy to accommodate unique schedules, routines, medications, and special requests. In addition to pet sitting, I also offer dog walking, overnight care, house sitting, and companionship visits. ✨ What sets me apart: I create a safe, low-stress, loving environment where pets can feel comfortable, secure, and cared for like family. My experience ranges from energetic puppies to senior pets needing gentle patience and support. 🐾 Special experience with: ✔︎ Senior pets & puppies ✔︎ Special-needs and disabled pets ✔︎ Administering medicine ✔︎ Anxiety-prone pets & separation anxiety ✔︎ Maintaining routines for comfort and stability ✔︎ Providing attentive, one-on-one care I know every pet has their own personality and needs, and I genuinely love taking the time to make them feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I also really love photography and sending you videos/photos throughout the day! I'm very flexible with hours, and I will always be very communicative about my schedule so you are kept informed. I spend every day taking care of animals, and am always flexible with client needs! I've been entrusted with many high-profile clients and am always respectful of others' homes, pets, and belongings. I treat every home and animal as if it were my own, with the utmost care, respect and love!
About: Hi, I’m Michelle! I provide boutique, in-home dog care in a calm, low-stress environment designed for dogs who thrive with personalized attention and consistency. Unlike high-volume boarding environments, I intentionally host only 2 client families at a time whenever possible, allowing your dog to receive individualized care, close supervision, and a quieter home setting. I understand how important trust and communication are when leaving your pet in someone else’s care. My background in hospitality and client relations has made me highly detail oriented, responsive, and dependable. I treat every booking with professionalism, warmth, and genuine care. My home is best suited for: • Dogs who prefer a calm environment • Small to medium breeds • Doodles and companion breeds • Senior dogs • Dogs who may feel anxious in busy kennel settings • Owners looking for reliable communication and peace of mind while traveling What you can expect: • Personalized care and attention • A clean, structured, supervised environment • Frequent updates, photos, and communication • Flexible routines based on your dog’s needs • Walks, playtime, rest, and lots of affection • A respectful, low-volume environment without chaotic pack boarding I know every dog has a unique personality and comfort level, and I take the time to make them feel safe, relaxed, and at home. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! I'm currently working part time from home, so I'll have plenty of time to walk and play with your pups! I'm available for doggie day care and boarding from morning drop off until evening pick up at a mutually agreed upon time. I have a comfortable & peaceful home, fully fenced backyard and a sweet friendly dog (Miniature Goldendoodle)to keep your fur baby company. I can also easily crate your dog if needed.
About: My Cairn Terriers (like Toto from Oz) hike Griffith and Runyon, chase squirrels, dig holes, play fetch at Weddington Park and take long walks. Sometimes we just lay in the sun or snuggle on the couch, but this is a loving home that is grain free, caters to the Fluff gang and we’re big on patience and attention. I've raised five dogs in my life - German Shepard, Black Lab, Lhasa Opso and now my Cairns. Having learned so much from each of them and the love I have for dogs in general, I'm excited to welcome your loved one into my home and help you be at ease knowing they're well cared for. I know nothing can keep you from missing your pet, but a confidence in them being comfortable and loved while you're away is a great help. ***Originally DogVacay, I’ve been with the service since 2010 and rarely open up to new clients. After a few folks moved out of town and others had kids which limited travel time, I’m opening up again. My preference would be to begin those same kind of long term care relationships with people who travel often or for larger lengths of time which allows your pup to feel as though they’re always going to a safe and familiar space with friends they know and love playing with. Working from home has allowed me to better care for my own senior pups and also gives me the freedom to spoil your loved one as well. My two friendly senior pups and I enjoy a gated back yard that still sees birds and squirrels enough to entertain them while being safe from any interactions. We have astroturf for back scratching and enjoying the sun, as well as a front yard, quiet cul de sac streets and a giant park for leisurely walks.

“Nicole was amazing with our German Shepherd, Henry, who can be a little anxious away from home. He spent two nights with her, slept in her bed, and was completely at ease. She sent daily photos and updates and communicated so well throughout his stay. She even picked him up and dropped him off, which was incredibly helpful.”

“brittany took excellent care of our two dogs! she was very thoughtful in her messages and was really responsive. we greatly appreciated all the photos and the attentive care she took for each dog’s needs. will definitely be using brittany again!”

“Our dog seemed happy and cared for. Kristina was flexible with drop off and pick up times. Will definitely board again at Kristina’s place on another weekend getaway.”

“Tyler kept me updated with pictures and messages throughout the day during 2 days of boarding. He takes great care of Rex and I value his attention and keeping me updated on how he’s doing. Grateful to have him as a sitter!”

“Stephen and David took very good care of Winona and are very professional with dogs. They were so flexible with our schedule and communicative. Winona came back looking refreshed and happy. :)”


“Jack took such great care of our toy Aussie, Elu. She can be very shy and has separation anxiety but she seemed to adjust comfortably to being at Jack’s place. Jack was very attentive and extremely responsive. He was great about sharing pics and video to let us know Elu was doing well. It was so tough leaving her for a week but we felt relieved to have found such a kind and thoughtful sitter as Jack! He was also great about taking her for walks and even a hike to Runyon Canyon! Since we’ve been home, Elu keeps looking for Jack at the door. It’s so sweet that she bonded with him and we now feel so much better about our next trip knowing she will be in such caring hands.”

“We really appreciated Lisa (and her family’s) care for our dog Kunga! She was flexible with pick-up and drop-off times and sent updates. Kunga loved her time there. Would totally leave Kunga with Lisa again.”

“Jen was wonderful with our pup - we got updates throughout the day each day we were gone and we can tell she was cared for very well. We will definitely rebook with her in the future!”

“Angie asked great questions during a meet and greet to ensure Angie had all the information to provide dog care for our two pups! Angie was communicative and sent us great photos throughout the stay. Great sitter and can’t wait to book again!”

“This was our first time using Rover for our German Shepard, Axel and Buddy’s Retreat could not have made the experience more perfect! Christine was warm, thorough, and welcoming at our meet and greet. Easing any of our concerns and giving us a run through of a typical day. Drop off was quick and easy- Axel immediately felt at home! The updates were frequent with lots of happy puppy pictures from playing with the other dogs, numerous games of ball and snuggling in his bed. Our pup can even be a finicky eater and they were kind to try different treats to entice him to eat. Upon pickup Axel was the most calm I’ve ever see him after a time away from us. All this to say- Axel would be thrilled to go back! We highly recommend Buddy’s Retreat.”

“Best boarding experience my pup has ever had! He’s not exactly the easiest boy to handle given how energetic he is, but after our initial meet and greet with Ashlee I had 0 concerns. She told me about the dog rescue organization she created so she definitely will give your pup the care and attention they need. She also took my dog on pack walks and long hikes around Runyon Canyon! She has so much space on her fenced off property and the sweetest dogs of her own that all played well with my pup and helped keep him busy! I genuinely believe he had a better time than I did while I was away. He came home cuddly and so tired so I know he had a blast! Would recommend her to all of my friends and everyone else reading this”


“Rita and took very good care of Buddy. They sent pictures and updates constantly which put us at ease. They have a great set up at their residence which is perfect for dog care. Highly Recommend Using Rita 🙏🏽”


“Sandi and her husband were great with Benji. Sandi sent us his picture everyday and was very quick to respond if we had any question! Knowing that Benji has sensitive stomach, Sandi followed all the instructions regarding his food and routine. Will definitely use her again in the future :).”

“This was my very first time using Rover and it was the longest time I had ever been away from my fur baby. I was very nervous to leave Sadie with a complete stranger in this big city for almost a week. I found Elena and her reviews were wonderful. I contacted her and she replied almost immediately. We set up a meet and greet prior to my departure date. Elena was very sweet, accommodating, and Sadie warmed to her almost instantly. I immediately felt confident about leaving Sadie in her hands. During drop off, Sadie was excited to see her new friend. Elena welcomed Sadie warmly as if she were her own and was attentive to her every need. She played with Sadie outside, took her on regular walks, and even cared for her allergies. We communicated daily and she sent regular updates with photos and video. Elena went above and beyond anything I could have asked for. I’m so grateful to Rover for helping me find not only a loving place for my Sadie but also a new friend. I will be using her again and will absolutely refer her to others!”

“We’ve used James a few times and he’s always great to work with! He sends daily updates, responds quickly and is easygoing. We’re happy to have someone we can trust to watch our dog. We recommend him and will continue to use his services so long as he’s willing.”

“Cathy was so sweet and accommodating to my cat Luna. She was very good at keeping me posted and sharing pictures of my baby girl. At pick up, my cat did not want to leave her! I highly recommend Cathy!”
