About: I have over a decade of experience handling dogs of all shapes, sizes and needs. Specializing in active pullers, rescues, and reactive dogs. I am comfortable and proficient with a variety of training equipment to fit your dogs needs and your specific training priorities. By observing the surroundings for triggers and your dog's body language for signs of stress, I ensure a safe experience. Every dog deserves a chance to get the mental and physical stimulation they need to live their best lives Dividing my time between dog training and volunteering at a local animal shelter let's me set my own schedule.

Leon my 10 yr old Malinois provides a calmly reassuring energy that helps guest dogs settle in.

About: Cats have always been a special part of my life. I’ve cared for two of my own cats for 20 years, so I understand the dedication and love required for long-term feline care. From energetic kittens to seniors needing extra TLC, I adjust care to each cat’s personality. I’m experienced with medications, maintaining routines, and creating calm, low-stress environments. I also know all the tricks to get a cat’s attention—like opening a book or laptop, which magically makes them appear right on your keyboard! Whether your cat enjoys active play or quiet lap snuggles, I ensure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away.
“Ashley was AMAZING with our cat Gigi. She was always on time, energetic and playful, and went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable being away from her.

About: I’ve always loved cats for their unique personalities and the special ways they connect with people. Over the years, I’ve cared for cats of friends, and I love getting to know each cat’s individual quirks, routines, and preferences. As a teacher, patience, observation, and understanding different personalities are skills I use every day. I bring that same thoughtful approach to pet care by respecting each cat’s comfort level and creating a calm, safe environment while you’re away. Whether your cat is playful and social or prefers a little more space and quiet companionship, I’ll provide loving, attentive care.

“Leanna and her partner were amazing! We got our kitten the week before we were going to be gone for a quick weekend getaway, so were worried about leaving her in the house.

Fawn loved playing with Leanna and her partner, and we will definitely be booking with Leanna in the future!”

About: Hi all! I'm a student & dog enthusiast! I would love to give your pup a little extra attention while you're away! I have had labs & pitbulls, so I am comfortable with larger breeds! (As well as small ones!) I am not shy around what people would say are the 'typically scary' breeds, I think all dogs deserve love! If you have special requests, like types of activities or places you would like me to take your dog, I am happy to work with you! I am willing to give medications as long as there are specific instructions as to how and when to administer! I am relatively flexible & ideally would like to find a few regular clients in my area! Sincerely, Rikki

About: Friends and neighbors have relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets while they are away from home. I find joy in caring for animals. Working hybrid Monday through Friday gives me flexibility to adjust my schedule when needed, and I’m always happy to spend my weekends caring for furry friends. With proper coordination, I can also host pets overnight giving them a comfortable, safe, and loving environment while you’re away. I pride myself on being professional, kind, and inviting so that both you and your dog feel completely at ease. I have a cozy pet spa in my apartment complex where I can pamper your pet with baths and playtime. I also love taking daily walks, hikes, and runs to keep pets active and happy. I believe every pet needs daily stimulation whether that’s exploring new scents on a walk, enjoying a good run, or simply relaxing in a calm space. While you’re at work or away, I’m here to provide your pet with comfort, companionship, and the reassurance of not being alone.
“This was our 8mo old puppies 1st daycare experience and, naturally, I was a little concerned about how he'd do. Lori was was very friendly and had a great ease around the dogs. Dagr really liked her and seemed at ease with her. He came home that evening well worn out from play and he seemed very content. We will.definitely take him back to Lori.”
“Sara saved our trip! We were camping in the area and planned a day out at the Channel Islands NP (not dog-friendly). Our original doggy sitter canceled on us two days before and we scrambled to find someone last minute. It was a blessing in disguise. Sara is the absolute sweetest! Communication was excellent. She updated us throughout the day with photos and kept our girl busy with playtime, a walk, and a hike. She was able to administer medication too. I can’t say enough good things! Thank you, Sara!”
About: My life has always been centered around animals. From the age of nine, I’ve been a dedicated pet owner, consistently sharing my home with both dogs and cats. A Lifetime of Compassionate Care: My extensive, lifelong experience covers a wide range of needs. I recently cared for my own beloved senior dog through age-related health issues, providing me with intimate and patient experience in senior pet care, including managing specialized needs and medication. Over the years, I've been the go-to sitter for family and friends, looking after their pets with the same dedication I give my own. This, combined with my prior volunteer work at local animal shelters, has given me a deep understanding of animal behavior and welfare. I approach pet sitting not just as a service, but as a commitment to ensuring your furry family member feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I work part-time from home, which means I am present most of the day, ensuring constant supervision and a predictable, secure routine. I'm available seven days a week to provide reliable and loving care for your furry family member. I live in a comfortable, clean apartment that is free of other pets and children, ensuring a calm and focused environment for your dog. While I don't have a private yard, we have immediate access to open fields and a walking trail right nearby. We enjoy daily walks and adventures on the trails for exercise and stimulation!
“I cannot thoroughly explain how grateful I am that Lexie agreed to watch my boy for me; we had met with another sitter months in advance who agreed to our pick up and drop off times at the meet and greet, but decided to cancel on me a few hours before! Beyond flustered and upset I was panicking, but Lexie came to the rescue but not only that, she provided Oliver a safe place to interact with other dogs. 🥹🧡 She provided updates with pictures to let me know my baby was safe and being watched. if you’re looking for a sitter who is reliable and will love your dog like their own, I highly recommend Lexie. I will be using her again in the future.”
“Words cannot express how wonderful Richard and Mystique are and the loving care they provide for our high energy puppy. They treat him like family, and he gives them hugs and kisses during daycare drop off. They also take the time to give our puppy leash training on walks. Absolutely recommend Richard and Mystique.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all kinds since for the past 4 years. I stay over night, go on walks, feed, bathe, and have dealt with disabled dogs before. I even have experience with cats whom have needed to be feed and the litter box needed cleaning. My neighbors, family, friends, and even people who I’ve been recommended to have put their trust in me with their pets. The longest time I’ve pet sat was for two weeks and it was with two dogs that needed to take medication 2 times a day. I have even let sat for my neighbor who’s elderly Labrador dog’s two back legs don’t function correctly. I am prepared for anything and everything :) I am a full time student at the University of Southern California Monday-Thursday, but I have times where I don’t have classes. Just message me and majority of the time I will be free! Friday-Sunday I don’t have school and I am usually free the entire day. At home I have a 6 year old male Golden Retriever who needs to be walked and fed multiple times throughout the day. I love to spend time with my dog whether it’s lounging around or going on hikes/to the beach with him. At clients house, I usually tend to check in with the dogs throughout my day, stay overnight at the house, or even board them at my house. I make sure that they’re fed, let out to go potty, and even give them the love/attention they need.
About: Hi! I'm Jessica and I would love to offer your dog a home away from home with lots of love and exercise! I have always been a huge animal lover. Not only have I had pets my whole life and worked for numerous families and friends caring for their pets, but I have professional experience caring for all types of animals. A few of the organizations that I have volunteered for are the Humane Society, Santa Barbara Zoo, and the Santa Barbara Marine Mammal Center. That being said, if you have a critter other than a dog or cat and need a sitter for them, I can help so please reach out and we can discuss! My home is a few miles from the beach and I take dog walks there often. We go on outings to nearby dog-friendly parks (Camino Real and Arroyo Verde are the favorites) and absolutely love to go hiking in our beautiful mountains, so you can be confident that your dog will get some quality outdoors time, whether they need a long walk or a good game of fetch! I am more than happy to take energetic pooches to off-leash parks if the owner and I both feel comfortable with the dog's recall and safety. Between outings, your dog will have the house and yard available as well as lots of attention from our family which includes myself, my husband, our 2 young kids, and our playful 30 lb dog, Sombra. There is plenty of room to run around! We have a backyard that is fully fenced as well as an open space of the living room with a box full of dog toys that always ends up being the puppy play area :) I guarantee your dog will love their time staying in a house with a yard and the beach and park close by. I will treat your pup like my own with lots of love and follow any specific guidelines you have for your pet regarding diet, leashes, exercise needs, training, preferred sleeping arrangements, allowed on furniture, etc. I will also send updates and photos during your dog’s stay. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask. I look forward to hearing from you and to meeting your pup! I work part-time from home so your dog will get a lot of attention and exercise. Walks and park visits are a daily part of my routine as are playing fetch in the backyard. On the weekends I like to to take the dogs on other adventures such as on hikes or to the beach. Our backyard has a 6ft tall fence and is fully secure. For dogs that feel more comfortable having a crate available inside the home for resting or sleeping, you can bring your own or we can provide one.
“We were very happy with Hersh and his care for our small dog Sophie. Sophie was calm and relaxed when we picker her up unlike a previous stay at a kennel for small dogs. Hersh sent us a picture of Sophie relaxing on the couch and I could tell she was enjoying herself and was content. Good job. We would definitely use Hersh again if we are traveling in the area.”

“Kelsey is my #1 go-to dog sitter. My clingy heeler is always so excited to visit her. He can smell her neighborhood from out of the window and he starts barking on our way down the street to her house. She is understanding, flexible, kind, and she genuinely loves dogs. She also understands heelers and herding breeds, which is a huge plus in my book. 100000% recommend her. I'm a paranoid dog owner and I'm very selective about all of the choices I make for him. I'm always at ease knowing he is with her.”

About: "I bring a professional, detail-oriented approach to pet care, backed by a commitment to reliability and safety. I don't just 'watch' your pet—I curate their day. Whether it's a high-energy park adventure or a consistent, disciplined walking routine, I prioritize your pet's specific temperament and needs. I treat every booking as a professional contract: you can count on punctuality, clear communication, and photo updates that give you complete peace of mind. Your pet’s comfort and safety are my top priorities, and I approach every interaction with the professionalism you expect from a dedicated care expert." Because pet care isn't one-size-fits-all, I maintain a highly flexible schedule to accommodate your routine. Whether you need early morning check-ins, midday feeding and play segments, or dedicated evening companionship, I structure my days around making sure your pets stay on their preferred timelines. I am available for both weekday and weekend bookings, ensuring consistent, reliable care so your fur babies never miss a beat while you're away. I prioritize a secure and attentive environment for every dog I care for. While I don't have a yard at my home, I am an extremely active person and live near several wonderful local dog parks and scenic trails.

My home is a clean, organized, and stress-free space where your pet will be treated like family and given my full, undivided attention.
About: I am hyper-attuned to your dog's needs ensuring your pets sense of trust and well-being is secure. Showing up and being present is my priority! I work primarily from home, and my schedule is flexible from the morning to early evening time, making it easy to schedule service times that work conveniently with your schedule and pet needs. Routines and consistency are important to ensuring a dog's sense of the world and trust because they can anticipate what to expect each day. With my own dogs, I wake up and take them for a jog first thing in every morning. The routine accompanied with the daily exercise makes for very happy, well-behaved and content dogs. I will bring that same perspective to your pet's life. Additionally, I am a long time Rover customer and when I was single and working 9-5, I relied heavily on my dog walker and sitter to show up daily, on time, in a loving, attentive way. For those of you who are away from your pets for long periods, please know that I understand the importance of being that consistent person in their life who shows up on time and meets their needs in your absence. Being a Rover walker and drop-in visitor is my way of giving back and saying thank you for all those who supported my pups for so many years!

Serving Downtown, Midtown, and beach areas. I'm semi-retired and have a very flexible schedule. I'm able to do multiple visits a day and I am often available last-minute. Time of day/evening/night also flexible. At home, my two rescue pups, Lucy and Ethel, have pretty free run. They usually sleep on my bed and are never far away when I’m relaxing on the sofa. When caring for clients’ pets, I aim to provide the same consistency and comfort they’re used to, following your routines and preferences as closely as possible.

I work from home most weekdays which makes me free to pop over or walk your dog in the middle of the day. I also have various weekends available. I am kind and caring with dogs and cats. I love walking them or playing with them! I pay attention to detail and will respect your space.

“Ari is a gem. Great personality, grounded, responsible and kind. Dogs have a sixth sense. When my Sofi ran into the house to greet me after her walk to say I’m back she immediately returned to Ari for some rubs. I knew then I was totally comfortable giving my sweet girl’s care to Ari. Three walks done and many more planned. Thank you, Ari, for making Sofi’s life better. She loves her walks.”

“I had zero concerns having Bax stay with Matt and Stefanie. He was safe, having fun, and well-looked after. They treat your pet as if they are one of their own. Will absolutely be using their services again!”
“Ellen was fantastic, she responded promptly and was flexible with my schedule. She took great care of my cat Nalla while I was away. She even had a whole room set up for cats to play and hangout. I would definitely recommend her for all your pet care needs.thanks again Ellen!”
“Sheena was outstanding! Very communicative and took great care of our dog. Loved all of the photos she sent along the way. We felt very comfortable with her and our dog was happy when we arrived. If we need a sitter again, I will definitely see if she is available.”
“We had a wonderful experience and would give more than 5 stars if we could! Our dog was so comfortable and happy during her stay, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Communication was excellent throughout our trip - we received regular updates and felt confident that our dog was well cared for.

About: I have over a decade of experience handling dogs of all shapes, sizes and needs. Specializing in active pullers, rescues, and reactive dogs. I am comfortable and proficient with a variety of training equipment to fit your dogs needs and your specific training priorities. By observing the surroundings for triggers and your dog's body language for signs of stress, I ensure a safe experience. Every dog deserves a chance to get the mental and physical stimulation they need to live their best lives Dividing my time between dog training and volunteering at a local animal shelter let's me set my own schedule. Looking for extra dogs to walk to make up for the miles I can no longer put in with my senior Malinois. I have a securely fenced private yard for your dogs to play and multiple dog crates to provide each dog a secure place to rest. Leon my 10 yr old Malinois provides a calmly reassuring energy that helps guest dogs settle in.
“Bowie had the best time! Every picture update he was smiling and we could tell he was happy and comfortable in your home! Hi is already looking forward to his next visit. :)”
“We booked Chris to watch our two mini aussies while we were in town for a wedding, and we are so appreciative of his care and communication. 100% would book again. Thank you Chris!”
“Amanda and her family were great! Archie had 2 doodles and 3 kids to play with. Amanda was very responsive when we texted and sent cute pics of Archie enjoying his time with her family. He is pretty attached to us and can be nervous so we really appreciated the updates on how he was adjusting. Next time we go out of town we will definitely book with Amanda again!”
“Sara is awesome and so sweet! We camped on the Channel Islands for a night and I felt confident leaving my dog with Sara knowing I would have limited phone service. Great communication from the beginning and I appreciated the many updates/pictures. Casper (her dog) was great too and very chill. Mayze enjoyed her naps and walks. Also her house and backyard are perfectly set up for furry friends. Thanks for everything! Highly recommend.”
“Ruby loves staying with Momo, Bethany and Siddhartha! They always take such good care of her- this last time she came down with an ear infection the day I was due to drop her off. They helped administer her medication and took great care of her. Ruby has so much fun she sleeps for days after coming home ☺️”
“We are so grateful for the wonderful experience they offered our dog. They were incredible at taking care of her and we never had to worry. They kept me updated the entire weekend and kept us updated. When I forgot to pack my leash, they were very prepared. 10/10 experience!!”
“My Teddy Bear enjoyed his stay at Amber's house! He had a ball running around in her big, fenced in backyard and playing with her two girls! Teddy also enjoyed a nature walk! Amber's home is comfortable and she provided a very nice stay for my pup. She even gave me fresh eggs from her chickens! I highly recommend Amber and would not hesitate to use her again!”
“Exceptional experience! Feel extremely blessed to have found Tiantian. My doodle had the time of his life! Tiantian kept me updated daily with messages, pictures, and videos....which was a great comfort to me. She was very understanding and gladly gave Reggie his antibiotic medication to make sure there was no interruption in the treatment for a paw wound he was healing from. Reggie had a blast with her dog and got lots of play time. Happy fur baby, happy Mom 😊 5 stars not enough ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Would unquestionably want Tiantian to watch Reggie on my next trip.”
