“Tatiana was absolutely amazing from the very beginning! At our meet and greet, I could instantly tell she was kind, attentive, and genuinely passionate about caring for animals. Throughout Beaux’s stay, she went above and beyond to ensure he felt safe, loved, and engaged. She gave Beaux extra care and attention, really taking the time to understand and respond to his puppy needs. Tatiana kept me updated with frequent messages, photos, and videos which gave me peace of mind and letting me enjoy my time away without worry. What impressed me the most was that she didn’t just care for him, she also helped train him! Beaux came home with new commands under his belt and was noticeably more confident and well-behaved. I’m so grateful we found Tatiana. Beaux absolutely adored her, and we’ll definitely be booking with her again! 🐾 Highly recommended!”
“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!”
About: A Little About Me 🐾 Ever since I was young, I’ve had a strong connection with animals, especially dogs. They have always been a constant part of my life, helping me develop a deep understanding of their behavior, communication, and social interactions. I am attentive, experienced, and always focused on maintaining a safe and positive environment for every dog in my care. I closely monitor all interactions and am proactive in addressing any unsafe behavior, whether playful or otherwise. My home features a secure property with tall fencing around the entire perimeter 🏡. The space is divided into separate areas to accommodate different playgroups, from small dogs to extra-large breeds, with plenty of shade and room to relax and play. Behavior Assessment 📋 For first-time guests, I typically require a behavior assessment before their stay. However, I understand that emergencies and last-minute situations happen, and I can be flexible when needed. If your dog has not completed an assessment beforehand, I will conduct one at drop-off. Introductions are done gradually and carefully, starting with my dog, Maya 🐕, before meeting the rest of the pack. If your dog is not comfortable in a group setting, they can be accommodated separately with their own indoor room and outdoor space. Before Your Dog’s Stay Please let me know: • Does your dog have any allergies? • Is your dog up to date on all vaccinations? • Is your dog currently taking any medications? Additionally, please share anything else that may help me provide the best care possible, including: • Resource guarding tendencies • Escape or fence-jumping behaviors • Eating non-food items or foreign objects • Previous incidents involving dogs or people • Anxiety, fears, or special handling needs Please also let me know about any special dietary requirements. If your dog eats wet food or requires refrigerated items, I have a full-size refrigerator available for storage. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and enjoyable experience for every dog in my care. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out—I am always happy to help! This is my full-time calling 🐾. I am available on weekdays, weekends, and holidays. There are occasional moments where I may need to step out for errands or appointments, but my family is always there to help with the dogs' care. Thank you for understanding 🙏. Pick-Up & Drop-Off 🚗 Our pick-up and drop-off times are flexible. We can accommodate as late as 11pm and as early as 5am if needed, including drop-offs the night before if you have an early departure — all at no extra cost 🙌. We also accommodate longer-term stays. The longest we've had a dog with us was around 8 months. No matter the length of the stay, we send regular updates — whether it's a text, photos, or videos — so you're always in the know. We offer a hybrid style of play — both free play and structured play 🐾. Negative behavior is calmly corrected, ensuring a safe and positive environment for all. Dogs sleep inside in a fully air-conditioned space ❄️, provided with beds and blankets, Dogs comfortable with pack life are welcome to free roam in a home-like environment 🏡, while higher energy dogs are separated as needed to ensure proper rest and health for all, fresh water is provided at all times. Safety is a top priority 🔒. Our property is fully enclosed with a 6ft fence & there is always someone present— keeping everyone happy and safe!
“Excellent! I have an older dog, very hard of hearing and doesn't see well. He also can't hold his bladder for more than four hours, and can sometimes get confused. Jenny was so good with him! Not everyone can take on the added responsibilities of an elderly pet, including cleaning up after accidents. I am so grateful for her understanding and patience.”
“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!!!”
“I am so thankful and grateful to have chosen Elaine to take care of our dog Jack. Those pictures sent to me were precious and we knew that Jack was taken cared of the way I expected. He was happy playing with the other dogs around him. Leaving Jack to a stranger was difficult but not to Elaine when I first talked to her at the meet and greet day. Thank again Elaine🤝😊❤️”
“Ashley was amazing. My dog, Nipsey, had a great time at her house. After the initial meet and greet, my worries all left as I could tell she would be the perfect person for the job. She was super attentive and followed all directions. She provided medications as needed but most importantly she gave him tons of love. I highly recommend Ashley if you're looking for a trustworthy person with a great heart and love for animals.”
“Ivette was vey welcoming and kind to my little Charly. She had no issues tending to Charly meal routine aswell as his exercise needs. Charly was very happy when picking him up, which is always a very good sign that he had a good stay. Thank you and would 10/10 recommend to everyone”
“Shardae was an amazing dog sitter, and I couldn't be happier with the care she provided. From the very beginning, she was professional, communicative, and genuinely caring. It was clear that she truly loves animals and treats them like her own. She kept me updated throughout the stay, which gave me peace of mind knowing my dog was safe, happy, and well cared for. When I picked him up, he was relaxed, healthy, and clearly had a great time. I highly recommend Shardae to anyone looking for a trustworthy, reliable, and compassionate dog sitter. I will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Sarah is the best! She is truly an animal lover and made my pups feel so loved and welcomed. My pups became part of her family and they didn’t want to leave when it’s time to go home!”
“Our experience with Ms. Jami and her mom was WONDERFUL. Our doggy Yoddah acclimated to her and her welcoming home immediately at our meet and greet. Jami was assuring, VERY nice and accommodating to our extended need for dog sitting! Jami sent pictures and a video showing Yoddah comfortable and happy! Our dog was pampered and enjoyed his stay. We will definitely be rebooking in the near future. We wish we could give 10 ⭐️'s❣️ Highly recommended. -theBookmans”
“My first time using this app, She is the best I could not have chosen a better option, very professional lot of patience with dogs and she sent a lot of great pictures of my puppy.Definitely I would choose her again And again and again.”
“Emily is an absolute gem of a dog sitter. Our dog Charlotte adores her — the full body wiggles when she sees Emily say it all. She also loves spending time with Emily’s sweet dog, Maple, and comes home happy, well-exercised, and relaxed every time. What really sets Emily apart is that she doesn’t just “watch” Charlotte — she truly invests in her. She reinforces manners and works on obedience in such a natural, positive way, and we’ve genuinely seen improvement in Charlotte’s behavior. It gives us so much peace of mind knowing she’s learning and having fun. Even with the newest addition to the household — the cat! — Charlotte has been comfortable and well cared for. Emily creates such a calm, loving environment, and it’s clear she treats Charlotte like one of her own. We trust her completely and feel so lucky to have found her. Could not recommend her more highly.”
“Kyle was fantastic with boarding Charlie. He went above and beyond—handling pickup and drop-off, which made everything so easy while we were traveling. He sent multiple photo updates each day, which we really appreciated and made us feel totally at ease. Most importantly, I had complete confidence Charlie was in great hands and having a blast. We’d absolutely book with Kyle again and highly recommend 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 :)”

“Zulaiha was great! Very caring and playful with my two cats. She was very communicative and shared great pictures each time she stopped by. I would highly recommend booking her!”
“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”
“As always, Ruby was an excellent pet sitter! She was on-time and and very conscientious about taking care of of my cats. She provided really detailed Rover Cards. I am happy I booked her again!”
“Sami is just great. She is very reliable. Has taken care of my cats several times when I have been out of town. I never worry about them. It helps a lot to get the updates with pics. It's good to see they got fresh food and litter boxes, and that everyone's safe and laying around like they always do.”
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 :)
“Vanessa O is our cats' varorite sitter. We have hsed her several times, and trust her completely. In addition to the usual cat duties (food, water, meds, litter, etc) she takes the time to play with them, and they look forward to her visits.”
“We always love booking Donny as our cat sitter. Our cats love hanging out with him, even our shy ones. He always makes the effort to get our outdoor cat inside where it’s safe at nighttime!”
“Elaine is fantastic! She has sit our cat Pickles in four different occasions so far and we are very happy with the service. She is proactive and very responsive. Pickles is older and her food has to be portioned. Elaine figured out the portions quickly and our cat has never had a problem with it. Elaine is in tune with animals 100% 🤩”
“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!”
“If I could rate higher than 5 stars, I would! Jeff went above and beyond to ensure my sweet, 9 month old kitten was taken care of when I was out of town. He was very communicative and sent lots of updates and pictures, which I fully appreciated. Our flight got cancelled and we couldn’t rebook until the following day. Jeff was kind enough to come an extra day to take care of Leeloo on very short notice. I know that she was very well taken care of, and I would absolutely book another visit with Jeff the next time I am out of town.”
“We loved Shardae. She kept us up-to-date with Vader, our, cat the entire time. We also were concerned he wasn’t going to eat or open up, and immediately he seemed to feel right at home with her. We are very lucky to have found her. She’s super sweet and we can immediately tell she cared for our pet as if it was her own. She was accommodating at the last second which we embarrassingly kept changing plans. Everything is deeply appreciated thank you!”
“Tatiana did an amazing job helping my kitten with her separation anxiety. Tatiana was very patient and nurturing not just with her but myself as well. I would definitely rebook when needed. Thank you for everything and for such a safe environment.”
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.
“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.”
“This was our first time using Rover and we were NOT disappointed. Sarah went above and beyond while checking in on our cat and I couldn’t be more thankful. I will absolutely be rebooking Sarah, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book her them for dog sitting too. This engagement went way more smoothly than I could’ve imagined. Thank you Sarah, and Rover!”
“Natalie was absolutely wonderful with my two cats when I went away for a week. She sent me multiple pictures per day and it was clear that they were very well taken care of. She went above and beyond and cleaned my apartment when I was gone. It’s such a relief to know that your pets are in good care! I look forward to rebooking Natalie in the future.”
About: From a past dog(Schnauzer) owner to a current cat(orange 🐱) owner, my experiences are personal. This is my first account as a formal doggie walker, I’m so excited! What better way to spend my day 🌟 I’m currently an owner of two businesses, Airbnb and vending machine. Therefore, my schedule is quite open. I’d love to spend my free time with awesome dogs🥰 *If* I offer service(s) at my home I have a fenced-in backyard with grass. The pet will be able to go to the restroom when needed. In the Clients’ home, I’d like to match the Clients’ routine as best as possible. I have a specific park I do my own walks at, it would be nice to have that same routine walking with my Clients’ dog(s).
“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: I've been caring for cats for over 12 years, friends and family have trusted me as their go to cat sitter. Whether your cat is a shadow who needs a bff or more quiet, reserved and in need of patience, I have plenty of experience under my belt to make them feel safe, loved and keep them entertained.

“Already rebooked! This was my first time leaving my pup with a sitter. He can be really anxious so I was worried but about an hour after I dropped him off, Elaine sent me a video of him playing and thriving. I was so happy and relieved. She continued to send me numerous updates all day long! She really tends to each dog and goes out of the way to ensure they have a good experience. Would highly recommend!”
“Milo loves to go and play at Sarah's house. It's so comforting and reassuring to know that she will step in and love him during brief times that I can't. I always feel safe leaving Milo in her care. Thank you. Sarah!!!”
About: I've always known I was an animal person! I've grown up with cats and dogs since I was 5 years old — 7 family cats and 5 family dogs throughout the years — so I'm familiar with every stage, from puppy and kitten energy all the way through senior care. Personally, I have 3 wonderful pups of my own. We're an active household: we walk every day and make sure to play and engage with them throughout the day, so I understand firsthand what it takes to keep a dog happy, healthy, and mentally stimulated. As someone with three dogs of my own, it's important to me to provide the same level of care I'd want for my own pups. I want you to feel confident that your dog will be looked after just as they would be in your own home with the same patience, attention, and love. I am present full time for your pup! Care fits right into my everyday routine rather than being squeezed in around it, so your dog gets consistent attention throughout the day. After I have a better understanding of your pup's routine we'll go on walks, play in our fenced front and back yard with lots of grass to enjoy, and I'll send you pics and updates along the way so you can see how they're doing. For rest and downtime, we have a private, dog-friendly ADU set up specifically for our furry guests to decompress after play and meals. I'm present in the ADU with them, and we also have a Furbo camera set up for extra monitoring. If your pup enjoys canine company, my Australian Shepherd will keep them company there; if your pup prefers to be the only dog, we'll give them their own separated space and time instead, tailored to what makes them most comfortable. Throughout the day, care naturally rotates between active time outside and quiet time in the ADU, so your pup gets a good balance of exercise, mental stimulation, and rest with me nearby the whole time. Your pet's safety is my top priority, both indoors and out. My front and back yards are fully fenced and gated, with an added interior gate leading to the backyard for extra security. I never let dogs outside unsupervised for extended periods, and I always do a visual check of the yard and gate latches before letting anyone out. We have cameras covering the front yard, so we never open the door to unfamiliar people, and dogs are always leashed the moment we step outside the fenced area. Indoors, I keep household chemicals, medications, and anything toxic to pets safely stored away, and I make sure trash cans and food are out of reach. I follow each pet's normal feeding, water, and bathroom schedule as closely as possible, and I'm comfortable administering medication if needed. If I'm caring for multiple pets at once, I introduce them slowly and supervise their interactions until I'm confident everyone is comfortable together.
“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 have taken care of a variety of animals since I was a young kid and have had a dog virtually my entire life, sometimes a few dogs at once and many cats too. I have been a fish, dog, and cat parent for about thirty years or more of my adult life and ongoing. Recently completed a twelve-week obedience training course with our German Shepherd. Plenty of work to do. We also have done pet sitting for friends, as they have also done for us over the many years. We have cared for many a senior dog or cat, as they have been ours. We have always had and cared for animals through their entire life cycle. Before Rover dog care and dog walking of other peoples pets, aside from friends pets was not something we had done as a business, but taking care of animals, especially dogs is an activity I have been doing my entire life, every day. We walk our own dog a couple of times daily. I have owned and cared for many dogs. I currently own a two year old White German Shepherd, which is very socialized. He is a silly one. I have some experience in training, in as much as myself and my GSD went through twelve weeks of obedience classes through PetSmart to help get him setup for success. My primary business is in IT. I work from home almost every day. I have an independent IT consulting company, working for myself since 2003, to date. A very flexible schedule. However, the business has been slow and I am looking for something to supplement my income. Another IT job would likely be treated as a conflict, and I already do that work anyway. This type of gig seems perfect, flexible schedule and doing something I have always wanted to do. Right now, I have the time. We will discuss shifts; I may be good to help during a variety of times. I love dogs, all animals really. We are very willing to sit for some dogs in our own home or stop in to check on, walk and feed them, etc. I have a neighbor that does the same thing as a “side hustle” (for Rover) and they love it. When I am out walking my dog, I often run into them walking their dog tenants that they are sitting while owners are away. I have lived in the Southbay since 1988 and love it here. I live in a two-story house on the edge of old Torrance and Harbor City. I look forward to our future contact and making some new furry friends. Thanks so much for your consideration. I have a fenced yard and one dog, a white German Shepherd that is still enjoying late stage puppy hood :-) at two years old. Loves his toys, well socialized and really loves playing with other dogs. He is good company for another dog and someday soon we may be getting another, so he always has a friend. Right now we have just one. We also have one Maine Coon cat (16yr), that generally stays out of site around new dogs. Our one cat has been living with dogs most of his life. We will create separation of animals if it is necessary. If you provide it and it is needed, we will crate your dog, otherwise we are happy to let them always be part of the home while staying with us. The home is safe and secure with plenty of space inside and outside. We are in an enclosed subdivision with safe residential streets for walks. We have dedicated space where our dog and cat eat separately, we can also set up feeding so your pet can eat alone if necessary. We can adjust access to food, so nobody (including our dog) has any issues. Dog walking is done regularly for our GSD and we are happy to take your pet along to explore the neighborhood.
“Perla was responsive, thorough, and took great care of my husky for a free hours. Ample walks, feeding, and tons of photos. Couldn’t ask for anyone better. 10/10 would book with Perla again”
“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: Hi! My name is Sami and I am a student at El Camino College in Torrance. I am an aspiring veterinary student with a passion for animals. :~) I absolutely adore animals of every size, age, and breed. I am a proud cat mom to a 7-year-old kitty named Zeus who is equally sweet and rambunctious. By nature, I am an attentive nurturer who will be sure to put your fur baby’s well-being as my top priority. My services include drop-in visits, house sitting, dog walking, and occasional boarding/daycare for small dogs and cats in my townhouse apartment. I will gladly care for other pets as well such as birds, reptiles, and amphibians. I have cared for for multiple pups of various ages (puppy-senior) and I have fostered two newborn puppies. I would be more than happy to feed, play with, and walk your pups to their hearts’ content! Lago Seco Park is adjacent to my home, perfect for dog walking and playing! I would love to play with your cats, clean their litter box daily, and feed them as much as needed. I have an abundance of experience with kitties of all temperaments, needs, and ages (kitten-senior). A unique bonus is that I have fifteen years of experience caring for small pets: guinea pigs, hamsters, etc for those of you who need special assistance with such. :~) **Daycare Details** 🐶🐱 Daycare that starts before 12PM and ends after 5PM is an extra $20. Feel free to browse my photo gallery to get a better sense of the housing for boarding/daycare as well. I am a full time pet caretaker and part time student, so I have plenty of time to care for your fur babies at any given time! I respect your pet’s needs and personal space, so I will always make sure they are happy and content when in my care. I love to make sure they are comfortable. Thank you for your interest in my services! I look forward to meeting and caring for your fur babies. :~)
“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’m very patient with pets, as i believe that they need special care with their daily living. I am someone who can make them feel loved and safe. I, myself have a miniature pinscher that can be handful at times but I very much love being with him. Dogs have this little world that makes me feel happy and peaceful, taking care of them is something i enjoy. I work full time in the day, but i still manage to walk my dog in the morning and the afternoon. Just like my dog, I am happy to welcome yours too and i will very much enjoy their company. I’d take them adventures and fun play times. I hope to meet your lovely dog! - Margie
“Thank you so much! She is BEST sitter for us. She sent many photos for us. So We could know how our fur baby were doing. My dog had a very relaxing stay and is very good condition the next day. We'll definitely request again next time.”
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.
“B’ha was cared for while meeting new furry friends. I received (and adored) pictures of her walking and playing through all her stages of arrival, hesitation, acceptance and play. I recommend Alice as a loving doggy person.”
“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.”

“I had a last minute request to walk and feed Tofu and Sky was able to accommodate it, which was a big relief. He arrived promptly, was very communicative throughout the process and asked questions to make sure Tofu gets the best care. Also sent me lots of photos. Great experience and definitely highly recommend Sky!”
“Velvet continues to do a great job with Tank and Gelo! She’s reliable, caring, and always keeps me updated, which I really appreciate. My dogs are comfortable with her, and I always feel at ease knowing they’re in good hands. I highly recommend her and will definitely keep booking with her!”
“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 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 :)
“Sami is AMAZING! My husband and I have had her dog sit for a weekend and check on our puppy throughout the work week. She is SO caring, follows all the rules, asks questions if she is unsure of anything, and sends you photo updates! My favorite are the photo updates because she sends you so many and just seeing how she interacts with your loved one gives you that peace of mind that they are in good hands. Sami is incredibly professional, polite, and hands on. Murphy absolutely LOVES her and so do we! We HIGHLY recommend her for your furry family member!”
About: Fur Baby Caretaker LLC 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 usually 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.

“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 have had pets throughout my entire life. Animals receiving the love, care, and treatment they deserve has always been something I cared about deeply. I am free to care for your pets on weekdays whenever you need me. From walks and drop-ins to house-sitting, just message me a day in advance! :) When I am caring for an animal I always do everything I can do to ensure the animal is comfortable and I build trust with them. I am gentle and patient with animals.
“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.”
“I have been meaning to leave a review for Allen as he’s been our regular dog walker for a while. Allen has been very caring with our two dogs, including one somewhat hostile chihuahua and one elderly chihuahua who is blind and suffering from cognitive decline. He’s been so flexible and understanding with our elderly dog’s evolving care needs and is always so communicative.”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for many years, including my own large-breed dog, so I’m very comfortable with pets of all sizes and personalities. I’m patient, responsible and calm in any situation, and I make sure every dog feels safe, understood and well cared for. Owners trust me with feeding routines, potty schedules, long walks, playtime and keeping their dogs relaxed while they’re away. I pay close attention to each dog’s needs — whether they are energetic, shy, or still learning. My goal is to give your pet a comfortable, stress-free stay and to keep you updated with photos and messages throughout the day I live with my Rottweiler and provide calm, structured, and attentive care in a home environment. I’m with the dogs most of the day, so they’re never left on their own and always supervised. I focus on keeping dogs comfortable, relaxed, and safe — whether that means playtime, walks, or just having space to settle in. I’m very attentive to behavior, routines, and boundaries, especially when dogs are staying together. I treat every dog like my own and make sure they feel secure, respected, and at home. I live in a quiet, safe home with great walking areas nearby. Dogs are always supervised and kept on leash during outdoor time, as I don’t have a fenced yard. I introduce dogs slowly, monitor interactions closely, and make sure everyone has space when needed. Safety and comfort always come first.

I work 4 days a week and my husband wfh full time. He does travel periodically. Please see availability on the calendar for the most accurate schedule. I understand deeply how important it is treat every dog specific to their required needs. Every dog will be treated like my own family member. Please provide any quirks your pup may have. Miles does seek dominance with other male pups, for now we are only accepting spayed females.
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: My mom and I had a loveable and adorable black pomeranian. I helped with potty training him from when he was a puppy. I thought him tricks, walked him, helped give him his medicine, groomed him, feed him & gave him water, and mostly loved him. Dogs are great company and are so loveable. I helped my ex with his tea cup yorkie. I feed him, gave him water, bathed him, cleaned up his pee pee pad, helped with giving him his medicine and I enjoyed his company very much. Dogs are not only our pets but a member of our families and can be at times like our little one. I miss laying down with my dog and my ex's dog also. Currently, right now I'm looking for a full-time or part-time job. So at the time being I have plenty of time to play, walk, feed & be your fur baby. I am available to board him/or her on the weekdays & weekends. I would always take out your pup with his/her harness or leash. I stay in a quiet neighborhood and I will always make sure he/she has food & water as well love.

“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!”
About: A Little About Me 🐾 Ever since I was young, I’ve had a strong connection with animals, especially dogs. They have always been a constant part of my life, helping me develop a deep understanding of their behavior, communication, and social interactions. I am attentive, experienced, and always focused on maintaining a safe and positive environment for every dog in my care. I closely monitor all interactions and am proactive in addressing any unsafe behavior, whether playful or otherwise. My home features a secure property with tall fencing around the entire perimeter 🏡. The space is divided into separate areas to accommodate different playgroups, from small dogs to extra-large breeds, with plenty of shade and room to relax and play. Behavior Assessment 📋 For first-time guests, I typically require a behavior assessment before their stay. However, I understand that emergencies and last-minute situations happen, and I can be flexible when needed. If your dog has not completed an assessment beforehand, I will conduct one at drop-off. Introductions are done gradually and carefully, starting with my dog, Maya 🐕, before meeting the rest of the pack. If your dog is not comfortable in a group setting, they can be accommodated separately with their own indoor room and outdoor space. Before Your Dog’s Stay Please let me know: • Does your dog have any allergies? • Is your dog up to date on all vaccinations? • Is your dog currently taking any medications? Additionally, please share anything else that may help me provide the best care possible, including: • Resource guarding tendencies • Escape or fence-jumping behaviors • Eating non-food items or foreign objects • Previous incidents involving dogs or people • Anxiety, fears, or special handling needs Please also let me know about any special dietary requirements. If your dog eats wet food or requires refrigerated items, I have a full-size refrigerator available for storage. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and enjoyable experience for every dog in my care. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out—I am always happy to help! This is my full-time calling 🐾. I am available on weekdays, weekends, and holidays. There are occasional moments where I may need to step out for errands or appointments, but my family is always there to help with the dogs' care. Thank you for understanding 🙏. Pick-Up & Drop-Off 🚗 Our pick-up and drop-off times are flexible. We can accommodate as late as 11pm and as early as 5am if needed, including drop-offs the night before if you have an early departure — all at no extra cost 🙌. We also accommodate longer-term stays. The longest we've had a dog with us was around 8 months. No matter the length of the stay, we send regular updates — whether it's a text, photos, or videos — so you're always in the know. We offer a hybrid style of play — both free play and structured play 🐾. Negative behavior is calmly corrected, ensuring a safe and positive environment for all. Dogs sleep inside in a fully air-conditioned space ❄️, provided with beds and blankets, Dogs comfortable with pack life are welcome to free roam in a home-like environment 🏡, while higher energy dogs are separated as needed to ensure proper rest and health for all, fresh water is provided at all times. Safety is a top priority 🔒. Our property is fully enclosed with a 6ft fence & there is always someone present— keeping everyone happy and safe!
“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!!!”
“I am so thankful and grateful to have chosen Elaine to take care of our dog Jack. Those pictures sent to me were precious and we knew that Jack was taken cared of the way I expected. He was happy playing with the other dogs around him. Leaving Jack to a stranger was difficult but not to Elaine when I first talked to her at the meet and greet day. Thank again Elaine🤝😊❤️”
“Ashley was amazing. My dog, Nipsey, had a great time at her house. After the initial meet and greet, my worries all left as I could tell she would be the perfect person for the job. She was super attentive and followed all directions. She provided medications as needed but most importantly she gave him tons of love. I highly recommend Ashley if you're looking for a trustworthy person with a great heart and love for animals.”
“Shardae was an amazing dog sitter, and I couldn't be happier with the care she provided. From the very beginning, she was professional, communicative, and genuinely caring. It was clear that she truly loves animals and treats them like her own. She kept me updated throughout the stay, which gave me peace of mind knowing my dog was safe, happy, and well cared for. When I picked him up, he was relaxed, healthy, and clearly had a great time. I highly recommend Shardae to anyone looking for a trustworthy, reliable, and compassionate dog sitter. I will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Sarah is the best! She is truly an animal lover and made my pups feel so loved and welcomed. My pups became part of her family and they didn’t want to leave when it’s time to go home!”
“My first time using this app, She is the best I could not have chosen a better option, very professional lot of patience with dogs and she sent a lot of great pictures of my puppy.Definitely I would choose her again And again and again.”
“Emily is an absolute gem of a dog sitter. Our dog Charlotte adores her — the full body wiggles when she sees Emily say it all. She also loves spending time with Emily’s sweet dog, Maple, and comes home happy, well-exercised, and relaxed every time. What really sets Emily apart is that she doesn’t just “watch” Charlotte — she truly invests in her. She reinforces manners and works on obedience in such a natural, positive way, and we’ve genuinely seen improvement in Charlotte’s behavior. It gives us so much peace of mind knowing she’s learning and having fun. Even with the newest addition to the household — the cat! — Charlotte has been comfortable and well cared for. Emily creates such a calm, loving environment, and it’s clear she treats Charlotte like one of her own. We trust her completely and feel so lucky to have found her. Could not recommend her more highly.”
“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!”
About: New to Rover, but not new to caring for pets: I am an empty nester who loves dogs and cats. I’m easy-going and have cared for both puppies and older dogs, and I look forward to keeping your pet safe and happy while you’re away. When I pet sit, I’ll send you lots of photos and videos to reassure you that all is well. I won’t list myself as available on weekends when I know I will be in and out too much to give your pet the attention s/he deserves. I have a small fenced/gated area, and the gate is tall. I don’t leave dogs outside if I am inside, and if they want to sun their bellies on the porch, I am happy to also sit outside and read while they relax. There is a small section of artificial grass. Dogs are allowed on the couch with me unless you prefer I not allow it. I can walk them in the morning early, usually between 7:00-7:30 am. Afternoon walks are typically between 2:30-4:00. I am flexible with when evening walks happen. Dogs don’t ever have to be crated here, but I can do so if you provide the crate. On the weekends, I can certainly let them out more often than the 4-8 hours indicated on the app. Some weekdays, however, may fall within that window depending on my work schedule. I require proof or rabies and other vaccines at the meet and greet, please.
“Murphy had so much fun staying over with Alex and Fred! We could tell she was very comfortable with Alex and that she’d be in great hands right after our meet and greet. Fred also has a great temperament and was such a sweet buddy for Murph! Alex was communicative, flexible, and very trustworthy. We’re looking forward to having Murphy stay with them again!”
“John and Miyabi did an absolute amazing job watching my 15 year old Maltipoo for a week. They kept me informed of his needs (he has allergies) and we able to figure out what my dog needed to relieve his scratching. I would recommend them to anyone and I hope to use them again.”
About: I've always known I was an animal person! I've grown up with cats and dogs since I was 5 years old — 7 family cats and 5 family dogs throughout the years — so I'm familiar with every stage, from puppy and kitten energy all the way through senior care. Personally, I have 3 wonderful pups of my own. We're an active household: we walk every day and make sure to play and engage with them throughout the day, so I understand firsthand what it takes to keep a dog happy, healthy, and mentally stimulated. As someone with three dogs of my own, it's important to me to provide the same level of care I'd want for my own pups. I want you to feel confident that your dog will be looked after just as they would be in your own home with the same patience, attention, and love. I am present full time for your pup! Care fits right into my everyday routine rather than being squeezed in around it, so your dog gets consistent attention throughout the day. After I have a better understanding of your pup's routine we'll go on walks, play in our fenced front and back yard with lots of grass to enjoy, and I'll send you pics and updates along the way so you can see how they're doing. For rest and downtime, we have a private, dog-friendly ADU set up specifically for our furry guests to decompress after play and meals. I'm present in the ADU with them, and we also have a Furbo camera set up for extra monitoring. If your pup enjoys canine company, my Australian Shepherd will keep them company there; if your pup prefers to be the only dog, we'll give them their own separated space and time instead, tailored to what makes them most comfortable. Throughout the day, care naturally rotates between active time outside and quiet time in the ADU, so your pup gets a good balance of exercise, mental stimulation, and rest with me nearby the whole time. Your pet's safety is my top priority, both indoors and out. My front and back yards are fully fenced and gated, with an added interior gate leading to the backyard for extra security. I never let dogs outside unsupervised for extended periods, and I always do a visual check of the yard and gate latches before letting anyone out. We have cameras covering the front yard, so we never open the door to unfamiliar people, and dogs are always leashed the moment we step outside the fenced area. Indoors, I keep household chemicals, medications, and anything toxic to pets safely stored away, and I make sure trash cans and food are out of reach. I follow each pet's normal feeding, water, and bathroom schedule as closely as possible, and I'm comfortable administering medication if needed. If I'm caring for multiple pets at once, I introduce them slowly and supervise their interactions until I'm confident everyone is comfortable together.
“Armando is amazing! 🤩 He took on not one but TWO young, high energy dogs. He provides beautiful pictures, and our dogs are alway having the best time in them. We can’t thank him enough!”
“Koji had the best time! He can be pretty energetic, but Katie handled him so well and gave him so much love. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in good hands. So grateful and we’ll definitely be back!”
