“Wow, what can I say other than I wish I found Nadege years ago!! From the get go she is super responsive & set up a meet & greet immediately. My dog Kramer was immediately comfortable and Nadege had great energy and a perfectly set up dog friendly home. Nadege was also very flexible with Kramers finicky food choices. I was gone for a week and I think she just about sent me photos daily which put me at ease, thanks Nadege!! ??”
“We left our baby, Murphy with Amorn & Adam recently. I would highly recommend them if you need a sitter in this area. They were very responsive and provided consistent feedback on how my girl was doing. They sent pictures throughout her stay as well❤️🐾❤️”
“Our two Frenchies had an amazing stay with Sean. We were in the midst of a move out and needed care for a few nights! Sean was extremely responsive, sent pictures and our dogs loved their stay. We are very thankful to have found Sean and recommend to anyone who needs care for their pups!”
“Ashton and Jay took great care of Jasper! They were so sweet and seemed to really enjoy his company. I appreciated their messages and pictures and they made me feel at ease, even when he was having some tummy issues the first couple days.”
“Chan Woo is very timely, responsive and caring. I truly believe my dog was well taken care of and loved during the stay. He sent me lots of pictures and kept me updated the whole time. I felt completely comfortable leaving my little one with him and I would absolutely book with him again.”
“Thank you so much to Renata and her family for looking after our 1 year old Chihuahua-mix named Sydney. We are not used to leaving her since she is so young, so I was very sad and anxious. It was our first time using Rover and any service like this. Reneta kindly offered a free meet-and-greet so Sydney could briefly get to know her house, yard, and pets. While we were on a 4-night vacation, we got tons of updates and pictures from Renata! Renata was kind enough to let Sydney sleep in her bed, and I am sure Sydney sometimes woke her for some late-night potty times. Renata also mentioned Sydney got better at playing and socializing with her own dogs, as well as the dog she cares for during her doggy daycare. I would 100% recommend her, and I certainly intend to use her services again soon! It's so nice to know as a new dog mommy that I can have the freedom to travel and truly know my baby is taken care of. Sydney seems happy too - its as if her eyes ar saying "Wow! I had a great time!" She had her only little adventure while we were adventuring! THANK YOU, RENATA!”
“Stephen was able to board my dog last minute due to unforeseen circumstances which my regular sitter. For the first time, my dog didn’t bark at me for several minutes when I picked up him up after being away for several days. I knew this was an indication that he was happy at Stephens. I also received photos daily and the overall communication was great. I will be using Stephen in the future.”
“Nayira did a wonderful job caring for Lulu. She kept us updated throughout our trip and which gave us tremendous peace of mind. She treated Lulu as if she was part of her family and as an owner, that is all that you could really ask for.”
“Nicole has been great with our little boy! She seems to be so calming for him and eased our minds as well with frequent pictures and updates. It was so hard to leave him but Nicole showed us that she genuinely cares for Javi.”
“Heaven was such a friendly and openly caring sitter since the first booking exchange. She was willing to accommodate my little boy last minute and was very attentive, communicative and caring of Charly since the initial booking process, to the stay to the very last second of pick up. Your fur babies will be in trusting-caring hands with Heaven”
“Erin was absolutely amazing looking after my Bailey girl! And Kobe (Erin’s pup) is an absolute sweet gem.. I truly appreciated Erin’s super positive and thoughtful attitude before, during and after Bailey’s stay with her. Erin provided me updates multiple times a day letting me know how Bailey is interacting & adjusting to her new environment along with the cutest most adorable photos! She is super flexible and really caring.. this was my very first time leaving Bailey with someone for a few days and I was so happy to be out at ease because of Erin’s professional and caring attention. I am so happy to have found Erin and will sure be a returning client and recommend Erin to anyone that’s in need of dog care. Huge thanks Erin!”
“Annabelle and Ben were outstanding! They communicated clearly throughout the process - meet and greet, drop off, and pick up. During boarding we got lots of photos and updates...sooooo many walks for our girl Mabel. Got along great with their dog and had a blast! They were all wonderful!”
“Stacey took great care of Saja! Upon meeting Stacey, it was clear that she was nice, professional, and dedicated to providing the best experience possible for our little guy (which she did!). Great with communication and sent photos every morning. Will certainly book again!”
“We were lucky enough to have James be available to take care of Legend while my family and I were on a 7-day cruise. He provided us updates and some pics. We knew Legend was in good hands. We will definitely use James again.”
“Ryan and Abby took such good care of bleu for the two weeks I was on holiday. They were very responsive, sent lots of photos daily, and answered any questions that I had. they were also very knowledgeable and sensitive to dogs who might not get along with others, which I appreciated with my senior who can be temperamental. Will definitely book with Ryan and Abby the next time I’m on vacation!”
“My dogs are in good hands with Marcelo and his wife Elaine. They take great care of them and keep me informed throughout my dog’ stay. I feel very comfortable leaving my fur babies in their care and recommend them highly.”
“Had a great experience with Andre and Trish watching Obi! Got plenty of updates and videos. She was a very happy girl when we picked her up. We’ll be sure to contact them again for future dog sitting.”

About: I have 7 cats of my own and have grown up around cats my entire life. I’ve cared for cats through every stage of life, from newborn kittens to senior cats. Because of that experience, I’m comfortable handling a variety of personalities and needs, including cats with anxiety, shy or traumatized cats, and cats who need extra patience to feel safe and comfortable. I also have experience caring for pregnant cats and helping monitor their well-being. What sets me apart is that I truly understand cat behavior and know that every cat is different. I take the time to earn their trust and make sure they feel secure, loved, and cared for while you’re away. 🐱❤️
“Minerva is a lifesaver! Not only did she do a wonderful job with my little old lady but she was also so helpful when I was worried my cat was sick. She was so quick with her replies and went back to check on her. I am so grateful and will be booking her again!”
“We had such a wonderful experience with Itzel! From the very first interaction, she was warm, professional, and clearly passionate about caring for animals. We especially appreciated the regular updates, photos, and thoughtful attention to our pet’s routine and needs. We had total peace of mind while we were away. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy, kind, and reliable pet sitter. We will absolutely be booking again!”
“Hiba took a good care of my baby boy Phil. She followed my instructions and Phil told me all about good time they spent together during my absence. He also complained that I left him for long time but do not mind to hang out with Hiba again if I need to leave in the future. Definitely will hire Hiba again!”
“Zack was great with our cats and was very communicative during his drop in visits! He also was able to administer insulin to our diabetic cat which was a plus. Super attentive and great with animals. Will definitely be in touch with him again!”
“Vanesa is amazing!! My cat Penny warmed up to her so fast. She was great with communicating with me everyday with pictures and videos to make sure my cat was safe the entire time. Extremely friendly and even left us a cat treat at the end of the drop ins. Would 1000% recommend Vanesa to anyone looking for care.”
About: I have extensive pet sitting experience and come from a family of animal lovers—we were always the go-to pet sitters, even when we didn’t have pets of our own. I genuinely love dogs (yes, I’m the guy who always asks to pet your dog). I’m based in Van Nuys and currently building my Rover profile as a part-time sitter. At the moment, I’m traveling by walking, which means I focus on nearby clients and reliable, on-time care. I take responsibility seriously and treat every pet like they’re my own. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! Monday–Friday: late afternoon to late evening. Flexible and open to other times as needed, including late-night care. Let me know a week in advance if you need weekend care. On vacation July 13-31 I care for pets in my client’s home by following their instructions closely and making sure I respect their routines, rules, and preferences. I understand that every pet and household is different, so I take the time to learn what each animal is used to—feeding schedules, walking routes, behavior guidelines, and any special care needs.
“Yoo Jew was lovely. She was timely with the visits and kept the house neat (food and litter box). My girls seemed very content when I returned. I’ll happily hire her for my next trip.”
“Jaclyn was great with our boys, and incredibly accommodating. We contacted her last minute for a surprise business trip and had no issues at all with getting everything squared away.”
“Jessica is an amazing pet sitter! She’s super responsive, is caring and affectionate towards pets, and will make sure to leave detailed information for each fur baby during every visit. Will definitely be using her again and I highly recommend her!”
“Tiffany was wonderful! We left our cat with her for 3 weeks and she took great care of him. This is the first time we've had to leave him for this long, but she made it easy for us to feel more comfortable about the experience. She and our cat got along really well, she was super responsive, and she sent us tons of photos and videos. She was also really attentive to him and his likes and dislikes -- when she noticed that he was interested in some boiled chicken that she was feeding to her dogs, she made sure to ask us if that was something he typically liked and was allowed to eat. Additionally, she was very accommodating of his habits. She bought him a cat cave in case he wanted to hide away (he loved it), and when he decided that his favorite place to be in her apartment was right on top of her pillow, she rolled with it which was very sweet. All in all, she was a great cat sitter, and we'd definitely recommend her to others in need of someone to take care of their cat!”
“Jamie did a great job checking in on our Moose while we were working. They played, went for walks and just had a fun time together. Jamie is trustworthy and easy to work with.”

“We had such a great experience with our dog sitter! They did an amazing job taking care of Archie and kept me updated throughout the entire day. They sent me lots of pictures, which really helped me feel comfortable and reassured while I was away. It was clear that Archie was well taken care of and in good hands. I truly appreciate how attentive and caring they were. I would definitely recommend them and would book with them again! 🐶❤️”
“Our dog loves it at Renata's house. She literally can’t wait to jump out of the car and get inside. You can tell that Renata really loves and cares for the animals she looks after!”
“Natasha took such great care of my pup and sent a ton of videos/photos during the day. She was very communicative leading up to the stay and throughout the visit. I will definitely be using her again to look after my dog!”
About: If you're on this app, clearly you love your pet. You want to assure your pet is properly cared for and loved while you are not around. I have over 20 years of caring for my dogs and spend my free time volunteering at the West LA Animal Shelter. I have trained friends dogs and have tended to my 18 year old elderly dog since she was a puppy. I pitched on my baseball team and love to air out my arm with long games of fetch at the park as well as leisurely strolls around the neighborhood. I'm full time work from home - my routine is multiple daily walks with my 2 dogs. Park nearby is an oasis as well as sun drenched backyard lounging. Fenced yard where my two friendly dogs like to hang out, but they have the run of the house as where they like to sit in the front window and watch the street activity.
About: There is just nothing better than being able to give back to dogs! They do so much for us, so I’m thankful for the opportunity to show them some love and care back. I decided to become a full-time dog-sitter so I could help owners in need of dog care while they experience all that LA has to offer without worrying about their dog's supervision. I was born and raised with a dog in the family, so animals and I have been inseparable. I know that it can be difficult to find quality care for your pooch while you’re away, so I’m here to fulfill that role! Before I moved to California, I had four dogs in the family back home in Miami. We had two Chow's (Luke and Texas), one Schnauzer (Chloe), and one German Shepherd (Storm). In addition to being an owner, I've also volunteered for several local adoption programs here in Cali as well as Miami. Before joining Rover, I was even a k-9 handler for Staples Center/LA Live security! I've also had experience with barn animals on a farm. I got to interact with horses, cows and baby goats there. They were very adventurous yet happy animals with no care in the world much like pups! When taking on a new client, I always like to schedule a meet-and-greet. It’s a great opportunity to make sure that we are a good fit for one another, plus we get to chat face-to-face about how to make your dog as happy as possible! I love to ask lots of questions so that I can figure out just what makes your pooch tick. Plus, I always just enjoy meeting a pup for the first time! I have no breed preferences, so all are welcome by me. When your pup is under my care, I’ll make sure that both you and your dog feel completely comfortable and well taken care of. To that end, communication is one of my strong suits. I provide owners with daily updates on how their pooch is doing with lots of accompanying photos to show off just how much fun we’re having! I always keep open lines of communication in case there is any need for questions or anything of the sort. For furry friends, I always try to recreate the conditions that they are used to at home. That means adhering as closely as possible to the schedule they have at home and providing them with tons of love! I’m always happy to go the extra mile for you and your pup, so just ask! Since I’m a full time student most of my time revolves around studying and heading to class but that’s about it. I have plenty of time to care for the beloved canines. I live in a spacious apartment so there is no yard. But I do have a court yard that they can run around and play.
About: Since I was a child, I cared for many animals and pets on my family's farm, and in the last 15 years in LA, I've had my own pets and all my neighbors and friends come to me for pet care while they are out of town! I work as a part-time plant science consultant, I am a mom of a 10-year old human and an 11-year old doggy, I have a flexible schedule and love to be active, so pet care fits in nicely! I have a secure and fenced in back yard and many comfortable spaces for dogs all around the house. Cats are not a good fit in our home, unfortunately.
“Piper is a doggy daycare regular with Jennifer! Jennifer handles her energy and need for attention so well. She sends us pictures and updates and communicates with us if there is anything we need to know. I always drop off an excited pup and pick her up happy and tired. Just what we need!”
“This was Nami’s first time staying with Maria and she loved it. She seemed very happy afterwords! Nami tends to be a very anxious dog but Maria was patient and kind when watching her.”
About: I have had pets through all of their years..I managed to train my two dogs, and they are now perfect citizens. I have one cat...I love her!!! I have a lot of time. I am self employed so I have no problem working your pet's needs into my schedule. Looking forward to being part of your pet's life! I live in a house with a huge fenced back yard. I have an older dog who accepts all animals I have a cat who is friendly with both dogs and cats
“Sarah is awesome and she took great care of my dog Jack while I was away at work. She was very accomodating and responsive and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for the best pet care. Thanks again!”
“Soraya was amazing with our puppy, Noche. She took great care of him, kept him safe, and made us feel comfortable while we were away. She was kind, reliable, and treated him like he was her own. We really appreciated the updates and the care she gave our little guy. We would absolutely book with Soraya again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter. Thank you so much for taking such great care of Noche!”
“My dog can be very stubborn and is quick to decide whether or not he likes you, but surprisingly Mason was a very happy dog with Jamie, he was well behaved and it seems like they had a blast! I highly recommend if your dog has trust issues, or is a nervous one to book with Jamie. I would definitely book again!”
About: Hi I’m a full time pet sitter. I have been petsitting for the past 8years. I have a lot of time to take the doggies out for walks multiple times a day. I also interact with them, by playing or doing basic commands with them. They are always allowed hop on the couch and join me to cuddle while watching a movie. It’s a cage free environment, unless you are training your baby or prefer for your pup to be in a cage certain times. They will feel right at home, in a comfort place where they are allowed to roam around freely and cuddle up on the couch or the human bed at night. We also reward them with extra belly rubs and delicious treats! I am a full time pet sitter. During the day I do have multiple walks I go out to. My partner Maggie is also home full time to care for the pups while I’m away. Dogs in my home have to be friendly with humans and other dogs. I am only taking small- medium size dogs. Unless I’ve cared for a more relax friendly bigger dog that I know won’t need much space.
About: Hi there, I’m Stephanie. I work from home and board one dog at a time to ensure your pup gets the most care possible. I’ve cared for a range of breeds with various personalities and needs including training puppies and giving medication. I am available weekdays, weekends and holidays. Potty breaks will be several times a day. Let me know if there’s a particular schedule they must follow. I understand that for many pets, a new environment with unfamiliar people and animals can be a bit stressful. Their happiness and comfort are my main focus and I make it a priority to keep an eye out without overwhelming them. I have a fenced yard and a friendly pup who will be there to keep your fur baby company. Thank you for considering me. Please note a meet and greet is highly encouraged before any booking.
“Jennifer was the best! She took amazing care of my doggie and was so easy to communicate with. My dog came home tired out from walks and so happy! Definitely recommend !”

About: I have experience walking dogs of all ages and sizes (German Shepard, huskies, Maltese, poodle, frenchies). As a teen I walked dogs for the elderly who resided in a retirement home. I grew up with large dogs and have learned patience and awareness through my experiences. I currently have two talkative cats and have participated in rescuing stray kittens from a Carl’s Jr. parking lot. I love animals and have learned from each and every one of them that I have had the pleasure of meeting in my lifetime. I am currently between jobs and have a lot of free time to take pups for walks! I am available weekends and holidays! I enjoy being outside and going for early morning walks and would love to do that with a dog! I am comfortable watching pets within a home or backyard if needed. I can carry dogs if they are uncomfortable using stairs or if they have special needs. I am extremely cautious when dogs are a flight risk and tend to triple check harnesses and walking gear!
About: I’ve always been the person friends and family trust to watch their pets because I genuinely love spending time with animals. I know how stressful it can be to leave your pet with someone else, so I do my best to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s a puppy with lots of energy, a senior pet who needs a slower pace and extra care, or a pet that’s a little shy at first, I’m patient and happy to adjust to their needs. I pay attention to the little things, follow routines closely, and love sending updates and photos so you know your pet is doing well. My goal is for your pet to feel like they’re hanging out with a friend, not just being watched I’m currently on summer break from my job as an elementary after-school teacher, so I have a more flexible schedule and extra time to dedicate to pet care. During the summer, I work a part-time job, which allows me to provide care before and after my shifts. I’m able to plan my schedule around pets’ needs and make sure they get the attention, care, and companionship they deserve. I’m also available on weekends for extra visits, overnight care, or just some extra love and attention if needed. 🐾❤️ When caring for pets in your home, I try to keep their routine as normal as possible so they feel comfortable while you’re away. I’ll make sure they’re fed on schedule, have fresh water, clean litter boxes, and get plenty of love and attention. I know every cat is different—some want constant cuddles and playtime, while others prefer their space—so I always let them set the pace. I’ll also send updates and photos so you can relax knowing your cat is happy and well cared for
“Vanesa has been absolutely wonderful with our yellow lab! She’s kind, attentive to his needs, and always makes sure he gets the care and attention he deserves. She’s consistently on time, communicates clearly, and always lets us know how each walk went. It’s such a relief knowing our dog is in great hands - we couldn’t recommend her more highly!”
About: What sets me apart is my personalized approach to each pet’s care, treating them as if they were my own. I take the time to understand their routines and needs, ensuring they feel safe and loved while you’re away. With regular updates and open communication, you can rest assured your pet is in great hands. My schedule is flexible and can easily adapt to fit your pet care needs. I’m happy to work around your preferred times to ensure the best care for your pet I prioritize creating a safe and comfortable environment for your pet, where they can feel secure and at ease. Trust is essential, so I make sure to follow your pet’s routine closely, respecting their needs and preferences. Whether in a quiet space or enjoying a cozy atmosphere, I ensure your pet feels relaxed and cared for while you’re away.

“Zack has come to walk my pup twice already. He is very communicative, deals with my neurosis (🙃) and detailed instructions like a champ, and I can tell my pup trusts him. I also trust him. Book him now!”
About: Growing up in a house full of dogs, I guess I picked up a few tricks along the way. My friends joke that I’m the “dog whisperer,” but honestly, it’s more like I’m their unpaid therapist. Most dogs and I vibe right away, like we’ve got some unspoken connection. Even the cautious ones usually come around pretty quickly.. maybe it’s the good vibes..? Maybe it’s the good treats..? Either way, mi casa, their casa. 🏠🐶 Now that I’m pursuing music full time, my schedule is much more flexible! I work from home during the week and usually keep my weekends open, so I can be fully attentive and available for your pup whenever they need me. 🫡 I prioritize being present with your pets at all times to ensure their safety and provide them with a home-like sense of security, knowing they have a trusted friend by their side. 🐾 🤝
“Minerva is the most caring and loving dog walker! She takes her time walking Kobe and sends plenty of pictures and updates about his activities (pee, poo, etc.). She's very detailed, quick to respond, communicative, and incredibly friendly. You can tell she's an animal lover. Kobe has fallen in love with her in such a short time! Can't thank Minerva enough for everything she does for our Kobe!”
“Jaime was absolutely awesome with Boosh, our Pit/Lab baby girl. He was able to pick her up and down the stairs to our complex. We had dog family over for a week and Jamie was able to accommodate walking them on short notice. Boosh loved seeing him and would bring him her ball a few times; seriously jelly about that. ?”
“Jessica did an amazing job. It was a last minute effort to get someone to cover Mars, due to a funeral. Jessica made it so easy with all of our requests. We are so grateful!”

About: I’m a lifelong dog lover with over 20 years of experience caring for pets of all ages and personalities. After recently saying goodbye to my own beloved dog, I’m excited to share my love, attention, and gentle care with other pets while their families are away. Whether it’s cuddle time, playtime, or long walks, I’ll treat your dog like part of my own family and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re gone. I work from home so at no point will your pet be left alone. I am able to take out your baby as much as needed and have a lot of room for them to run around (indoor and outdoor). My house is pet safe and organized. I keep it toddler safe which means no small pieces or anything toxic your animal can get to also. I have an enclosed yard that your baby can roam around in safely.

About: Hi! We're Cecilia and Nicholas! 👋🏽 This account is run by both of us and between the two of us, we've got 13+ years of experience loving and taking care of dogs! We have spent a lot of time volunteering at shelters and fostering dogs (can provide references from the shelter staff) and have successfully helped in findings homes for many dogs at the shelter. You can check out some of the dog videos I've created on my TikTok, cicijasso. We both work from home, so we have a lot of flexibility to give your dog attention, exercise, and companionship throughout the day. We're comfortable with dogs of all sizes, from tiny to big, and we have experience with reactive dogs too, since one of our own can be reactive. We understand what it takes to keep everyone safe and comfortable. A little bit about us and our dogs: Our first two dogs were Milli, a pitbull who lived a full and happy 15 years and Levi, a scrappy little rescue mutt from Texas who stole our hearts and unfortunately passed away too soon (~6 yrs) of cancer. Both were our whole world and we miss them every day! Since then, we've welcomed 2 new babes into our family. We have Sasha, a beautiful and sassy little pitbull, who we rescued from a DC shelter during our time there, and then Juno, a shy but loving German/Doberman mix, who we recently adopted during out time in Arkansas. As you can tell...we sort of love dogs and have a tendency of rescuing one wherever we go. Animals are truly our passion, not just a hobby. We'd love to help care for yours. My husband and I work from home full time and are able to step away from our computers to take them out for potty breaks every few hours. We’re flexible and able to work with any requirements your pet has for going out. For house sitting or drop-ins, we keep things as close to normal as possible: same feeding schedule, same walk times if there is one, and plenty of playtime or just hanging out so your dog isn't alone all day. We also handle meds, special diets, and any specific quirks your dog has, just let us know what they need. Because we've fostered so many dogs and volunteered at shelters, we're comfortable with dogs who need a little extra patience: nervous dogs, reactive dogs, dogs still learning basic manners. We don't expect perfect behavior, we just want your dog to feel safe and cared for the whole time you're away.

“Ashton and Jay took great care of Jasper! They were so sweet and seemed to really enjoy his company. I appreciated their messages and pictures and they made me feel at ease, even when he was having some tummy issues the first couple days.”
“Thank you so much to Renata and her family for looking after our 1 year old Chihuahua-mix named Sydney. We are not used to leaving her since she is so young, so I was very sad and anxious. It was our first time using Rover and any service like this. Reneta kindly offered a free meet-and-greet so Sydney could briefly get to know her house, yard, and pets. While we were on a 4-night vacation, we got tons of updates and pictures from Renata! Renata was kind enough to let Sydney sleep in her bed, and I am sure Sydney sometimes woke her for some late-night potty times. Renata also mentioned Sydney got better at playing and socializing with her own dogs, as well as the dog she cares for during her doggy daycare. I would 100% recommend her, and I certainly intend to use her services again soon! It's so nice to know as a new dog mommy that I can have the freedom to travel and truly know my baby is taken care of. Sydney seems happy too - its as if her eyes ar saying "Wow! I had a great time!" She had her only little adventure while we were adventuring! THANK YOU, RENATA!”
“Stephen was able to board my dog last minute due to unforeseen circumstances which my regular sitter. For the first time, my dog didn’t bark at me for several minutes when I picked up him up after being away for several days. I knew this was an indication that he was happy at Stephens. I also received photos daily and the overall communication was great. I will be using Stephen in the future.”
“Nayira did a wonderful job caring for Lulu. She kept us updated throughout our trip and which gave us tremendous peace of mind. She treated Lulu as if she was part of her family and as an owner, that is all that you could really ask for.”
“Nicole has been great with our little boy! She seems to be so calming for him and eased our minds as well with frequent pictures and updates. It was so hard to leave him but Nicole showed us that she genuinely cares for Javi.”
“Heaven was such a friendly and openly caring sitter since the first booking exchange. She was willing to accommodate my little boy last minute and was very attentive, communicative and caring of Charly since the initial booking process, to the stay to the very last second of pick up. Your fur babies will be in trusting-caring hands with Heaven”
“Erin was absolutely amazing looking after my Bailey girl! And Kobe (Erin’s pup) is an absolute sweet gem.. I truly appreciated Erin’s super positive and thoughtful attitude before, during and after Bailey’s stay with her. Erin provided me updates multiple times a day letting me know how Bailey is interacting & adjusting to her new environment along with the cutest most adorable photos! She is super flexible and really caring.. this was my very first time leaving Bailey with someone for a few days and I was so happy to be out at ease because of Erin’s professional and caring attention. I am so happy to have found Erin and will sure be a returning client and recommend Erin to anyone that’s in need of dog care. Huge thanks Erin!”
“Annabelle and Ben were outstanding! They communicated clearly throughout the process - meet and greet, drop off, and pick up. During boarding we got lots of photos and updates...sooooo many walks for our girl Mabel. Got along great with their dog and had a blast! They were all wonderful!”
“Stacey took great care of Saja! Upon meeting Stacey, it was clear that she was nice, professional, and dedicated to providing the best experience possible for our little guy (which she did!). Great with communication and sent photos every morning. Will certainly book again!”

About: Hi, I’m Troy — your friendly North Hollywood pet sitter and dog walker! I’ve spent the last 3 years caring for dogs and cats of all ages, from wiggly puppies to mellow seniors, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m experienced with walks, playtime, feeding, crate training, and giving meds, and I’m very comfortable following detailed routines and special instructions. Safety is always my top priority, and I keep you in the loop with plenty of photos, videos, and updates so you can relax while you’re away. I work [from home/flexible hours], which means your pet gets lots of attention, potty breaks, and snuggles throughout the day. Whether your dog loves long walks, chill couch time, or trips to the park, I’ll match their energy and make sure they feel comfortable and loved. Tell me all about your pet’s quirks, schedule, and favorites — I’m excited to meet your best friend and give them the same care they get at home! I am a stand up comedian and work a few hours at night. I am very flexible with a schedule during the day and week! If your dog doesn’t come home and personally tell you how good his day was, and what he learned in school, I’ll give a full refund. When I found out about this app I was truly amazed and excited at the opportunity to work with animals!!
“First time using this app, and very satified with experience. Candy was great with my dog, she is very caring, she sent update pics of my dog's activities, will definitely use service again in the future, thank you!”
“Brenda gives daily updates and photos. She provided great communication and exercise for Kodi. Kodi got along great with her husky, Leeloo. I hated to separate him from his new friends. I will use her services again. I highly recommend Brenda.”
“Alina was an incredible sitter for my dog moose! he stayed with her over the july 4th holiday- moose is a rescue with some special needs, including fear of fireworks and other dogs. Alina treated moose with care and compassion, and she gave me honest updates if moose was struggling (without me needing to ask). it is such a relief to have found someone who seriously cares about moose and will go the extra mile to make sure he is cared for and that I know how he is doing!! I will definitely be hiring Alina again, and would recommend her to any dog owner, especially those who might need a little extra support.”
“Hasmik was great. I had never left my baby with anyone. She took such good care of him that he didn't even miss his mom and dad. He is our first (human or otherwise) so we were very nervous. She sent lots of photos and put my mind at ease. She will be my go to sitter.😊”
