About: I've had cats and dogs my whole life. I have experience with rescues. I'm an active sitter near hiking trails. Last minute availability is possible. I'm currently working from home part-time making pet care fit easily into my days. If you need daily drop-ins for feeding, walking, running or medications, or ball play, we can set up a custom plan for your fur babies. I treat every pet as if it's my own. If your pet has special needs, we can discuss how best I can make them feel at ease. I'm here to help and open to handling specific needs. I've been there myself with my own babies.

“Graham was fantastic. Very personable, great with our pup, Midna, and he's an excellent communicator. He showed up early to meet us and Midna immediately loved him. We felt very comfortable trusting him with our dog and our home. We will happily use Graham again, and highly recommend him to anyone who wants someone trustworthy and kind to watch their pup. (Thanks Graham!)”

About: I have been caring for animals for most of my life and have experience with dogs, cats, and horses of different ages, sizes, and personalities. Friends, neighbors, family members, and clients have trusted me to care for their pets, provide companionship, maintain routines, and ensure their safety and well-being. I am patient, attentive, and responsible, and I understand how important it is for pets to feel comfortable and loved while their owners are away. I provide plenty of affection, exercise, playtime, and regular updates with photos. My goal is to give every pet the same care and attention I would give my own family. I recently moved to California and am currently building a new chapter in my life. This transition gives me the flexibility to dedicate more time to caring for pets, something that truly brings me joy. I love spending time with animals, getting to know their unique personalities, and making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to adapt to each pet’s routine and needs. I currently provide pet care in my clients’ homes, where pets can remain comfortable in their familiar environment and maintain their regular routines. I understand the importance of trust when caring for both pets and someone’s home. I am responsible, respectful, attentive to details, and committed to following each owner’s instructions carefully. My goal is to provide a safe, calm, and loving experience for every pet while giving their owners peace of mind.

“Crystal was amazing! I highly, highly recommend her! I took a trip out of the country and needed someone to care for my dog and my house. Crystal was simply phenomenal. Her communication was spot on. She was extremely respectful of my pup, my home, and my instructions. She even had a back-up plan in place when an emergency came up. She left my home extremely clean and tidy and made sure my travel plans had not changed or been delayed to ensure my dog was cared for until I returned home. I will definitely ask Crystal back to take care of any of my pet/home needs in the future.”

“I hope Stacy and her family are always available when we need help with our pets, because they put our minds at ease and took care of our fur babies with the greatest of care! We have had many people help us over the years with our pets and she outshined them all! Our pets loved her and I could feel how much she cared for them. Highly recommend!”

About: I've been sitting big breed dogs and have had them since I was a kid. If I could, I would have a dozen of them, but for now, I will babysit your dog. I work from home, and my partner also has a flexible schedule, so they are usually around too, providing your dog with companionship, attention, and supervision throughout the day. Walks, backyard playtime, enrichment, and plenty of snuggles are part of my daily routine. We value kindness, inclusivity, respect, and emotional safety. Our home is a judgment-free zone for people and pets. I have a fenced yard, nothing to jump off, and a friendly rescue yellow Labrador/pittie mix who loves to play with dog visitors. He is also great at reading dog body language and at giving new visitors their space until they are ready to engage. I’m experienced with dogs who have restrictions - physical, food sensitivities or allergies - or just need extra time settling in. As a former volunteer with Southern California Labrador Rescue, I fostered and pulled dogs from shelters. I understand the unique needs — and big hearts — that often come with rescue dogs. I love both in-home boarding and house sitting. Staying in a client’s home gives me a peaceful change of scenery for my writing and allows dogs to stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I’m available to house sit throughout Southern California. I work from home full-time, Monday-Friday. On weekends, we typically garden, cook, and go for walks or hikes. Snuggles, backyard playtime, and lots of interaction time are a critical part of my day with your dog. I am a homeowner with a fenced yard in a gated neighborhood, a rescue mutt to keep your dog company, and a cat. My teenager is also a dog lover who spoils our Charlie. Dogs are allowed on the furniture and on the bed. I have dog beds, lots of water bowls, and time for pets. Our dog is a big hunk of love at 116 lbs, and I have always had big dogs. He LOVES having dog friends at the house.

“Ivy is the best - trustworthy and sweet with all animals. 5-stars all around.”

About: Together, we have over 4 years of experience working with dogs. We share one of our own, focusing on obedience, mental stimulation, and keeping her active. We understand that walks are more than just exercise, they offer engagement and enrichment! We prioritize enjoyable walks that keep dogs physically active while reinforcing good behavior. With patience, consistency, and a deep love for dogs, we ensure every walk is not just a routine, but a rewarding experience for your dog! Our schedules are pretty open as we both completed our degrees from Cal State Long Beach. Either one of us will should be available for your requested time! Caring for your dog and providing a safe environment is number our one priority! With a dog of our own, we ensure that she is mentality stimulated and physically challenged all while making the walk an enjoyable activity. We would give your dog the same attention and treatment as we give our own!

“Caleb was great! I had to leave early Friday and he was going to be at the house around 2. Since I left at 6 that morning he went ahead and got there a couple hours early to get the dogs out sooner with them being inside for 6+ hours. He kept me updated with messages, photos, and videos throughout his stay. I will definitely be booking with Caleb on my next trip!”

About: I've been a petsitter for 5 years, helping family and friends' fur babies while they were out of town. I am experienced with dogs and cats, small and large. I am very energetic and bubbly, but can match any animals personality to make sure they are comfortable and well taken care of. As someone who has grown up surrounded by animals, I love making new fur friends! I have had pets throughout my whole life. I have three pets of my own that I take care of daily. Two dogs and one cat. I take care of my friends and family's pets when they need help as well. I have two dogs and one cat that I feed, walk, bathe, and play with daily. Regarding clients it depends on their needs, wants and the comfort of their pets.

“Kimberly did a great job. She had to manage two large dogs over three days. The house and the pups were well cared for. I asked Kimberly to abide by some fairly strict rules with the dogs in order to manage their high-energy and potential anxiety and she did an excellent job. Kimberly have our pups multiple daily walks, administered pet medication, and maintained the security of the house. I strongly recommend Kimberly for your pet/house sitting needs.”

About: I love animals; always have! I used to come home from school and do homework in front of Animal Planet and when it wasn't doing that I was taking care of my neighbor's pets. Cats, dogs and horses and I looked forward to it every time. My responsibilities included walking, playing, feeding and even reading to them (which I have on good authority was very adorable). I'm very excited to take care of your fur babies for you! Fear Free Leader in Animal Wellbeing graduate. *Ask me about Active & Running services* **Ask me about Pet Portraiture Add-ons** I am currently taking online classes and looking forward to being with animals when I can part time. I am looking forward to meeting new pets and taking care of them in between bouts of homework and studying. I am available for most services! Including drop-in check-ins, letting dogs out to do their business or go on walks or play with your pets. I'm also available to pet-sit and keep them company while they relax in their space. After meeting your pets and learning their specific and unique needs, likes or dislikes, I am available to feed, walk, play most days.

About: I know how important your pets are and will do everything I can to make you feel at ease while you’re away from them. I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life, including dogs of all sizes, cats, and rabbits. I currently have a large Akita mix, so I’m experienced with walking, handling, and caring for strong dogs. I also volunteered at a dog rescue for several years, where I cared for and walked many different breeds and personalities. I’m a true animal lover and understand that every pet has their own unique needs. I’ll make sure your pets receive plenty of love, attention, and care, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel connected while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet your furry family members! I’m a school counselor and am currently enjoying my summer break, so my schedule is very flexible! I’m currently accepting drop-in visits and dog walking requests and would love to provide your pets with loving, reliable care while you’re away. I’m happy to provide any care your pets need while pet sitting or during walks. I have experience caring for a variety of animals throughout my life, including senior dogs with special needs and cats requiring extra attention. I understand that every pet is unique and will make sure your pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved while they’re in my care.

“Fantastic! Def will use again. She worked well with my reactive and anxious pup and slowly got him to trust her. She was able to accommodate us last minute due to another sitter canceling, and was awesome!”

“Joseph stayed at our house for 3 nights. The dogs were well cared for and he sent updates once or twice a day. I was able to enjoy my vacation without stressing about my doggies”

About: Prior to using Rover I provided paid pet care on my own to multiple families for 7 years. Most of these pets were high needs (specialized diets & prescribed medication. I as a result I am well versed in a wide spectrum of care. My schedule allows me to provide drop in and short walks to your pups during the day. I'm happy to take them out for a quick break, just let them for a quick break, or whatever suits your needs. I am happy to crate your dog if needed, I'm comfortable walking anxious dogs, and weather permitting I'm happy to take hyper breeds on a long walks to get their energy out.
