“Thank you, Yoo Jee for taking care of our dogs! Both my dogs are very strong and have a lot of energy, so they're not the easiest to handle, but Yoo Jee did a wonderful job handling them and making sure their needs were met!”
“I chose Vanesa because I wanted to have Baxter groomed at home. I'm thrilled with the outcome and how sweet she was with Baxter, who gets very stressed when I leave him at a salon.”
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.
About: experience as a pet sitter for cats, dogs, and other small animals. Attention to detail to each personality and each accommodation and needs while providing the best care while making safety top priority I’m currently working part-time and pet sitting is something that I love and thrive to do I always believe that you must love what you do in order to provide the best outcome I have a secure fence and lots of room for playtime my home is a loving welcoming home well secured for all pets enough room for play and rest
About: I enjoy being active and if I can be active with a pet then thats amazing. We both get in shape and your furrbabies will never be bored. I do make sure all animals are comfortable and if they don't want to go for a walk then I don't want to either. I work a 9-5:30 job. My weekends are mostly available. If needed in morning before 8am or anything after 6pm during the weekdays. I can do! Weekends I am mostly available. Depending on the area I can accommodate. I have a furrbaby of my own so I can tell when a dog is in the mood to play, has stomach aches, going through anxiety, or even just tired. I cope with pets depending on there mood and making sure they are okay. As well, being in someone elses home and the pet not knowing who I am, its good to have them evaluate me for at least 5 minutes to get my sent and feel comfortable with me.
“Emma was super responsive and on-time for a last minute booking. Finn was instantly comfortable with her which made us feel much safer, being that it was our first reservation in LA and in our new place. She regularly sent us pictures of the two of them lounging ❤️ would definitely reach out to her again should the need arise.”
“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.”
“Long story short, Jaclyn is the best version of what I think Rover sitters should be. Assuming her availability matches up with my trips in the future, I will always book her again and again! Long story long: Everytime I move, I have to find a new sitter or sitting service for my two kitties. It is always an anxiety filled experience. This time, I turned to Rover. Rover wasn't offered where I used to live when I first looked (a couple years ago) but I'm so glad I now live in an area that offers it. Of course, I want to have the best sitter for a rate that won't make my kitties and I homeless in the long run. But I will always choose quality over budget. Luckily, Jaclyn fit into both categories. Before I went on vacation for a week, Jaclyn came over to meet my kitties and learn about their routine. During the meet and greet, she completely put my mind at ease. She was crawling around on the floor of my apartment trying to help me coax my nervous kitties out from under the bed. She took notes as I mentioned feeding, toys, etc. We talked for nearly an hour about my cats, her cats, our jobs, etc. I felt like she was a genuinely nice person who really, truly loves cats. Before she even left our meet and greet, I knew I was going to book her. Even though I knew Jaclyn was the best choice and that my kitties were going to be in good hands, I still get nervous before leaving for a trip. This was the first time in years that I was leaving my cats alone (no roommate now) with only a daily drop-in visit from a sitter. A new apartment, a new sitter, a new neighborhood... all while I was in a completely different country. My mama anxiety was on full blast. I left a lengthy, itemized letter detailing everything I could think of (some of it she already knew but some was new info) and setup everything Jaclyn could need for her visits. I filled their automatic wifi feeders full of dry food and made everything as simple as I could. Thankfully everything went smoothly. No emergencies and no incidents that Jaclyn couldn't handle easily on her own. She sent me two pictures every visit and notes about what she did or how the kitties were acting. I always waited anxiously for her text each night (different time zones make it harder) and as soon as she would text, I was able to relax for the evening. Once, when I noticed that the temperature was supposed to be getting high in the valley, I texted her to make sure my apartment wasn't getting too hot and she reassured me that it was still very cool inside and the kitties weren't reacting to the heat at all. She didn't seem annoyed when I messaged her out of the blue with each neurotic worry. When my flight home was canceled and I had to stay another night, she was kind enough to clean up everything one last time so I didn't have to worry about cleaning when I got home and could just hang out with my kitties. By the third visit, both kitties were really looking forward to her showing up for play time and their wet food meal. I'm pretty sure they like Jaclyn's visits so much that when I finally came home, they were confused why it wasn't her walking through the door and immediately tried to get me to play with them like she would. Haha.”
“Kathryn took great care of my cat Fancy while we were away for a few days. Lots of photo updates and written descriptions of her visits! Kathryn was a huge help and I will definetely rebook into the future.”
About: Hello, I’m patient, dependable, and genuinely love animals. I treat every pet like my own—ensuring they feel safe, loved, and cared for every moment.thank you I’m a stay at home mom, I’ve recently become bored so I figured I would make a little extra money and get the gratification of loving your pet like I do my own. My dogs and cat are no different than my kids. I love them all the same, just don’t tell the kids, the human ones. .
“Vanessa was great and easy to work with. We had a last minute trip and she was able to come to our services and take care of our pets. We felt very secure and in good hands. I would recommend Vanessa for anyone looking to have piece of mind while they are away.”
About: I’m a natural dog/cat lover and I’m so excited to meet your fur baby🤗 I have a super sweet pit bull/boxer mix in need of a walking buddy and friends to play in the park! She’s great with all animals, large, small or different species, as long as they’re ready to play. Don’t hesitate to ask for pictures or videos! I do have a job with varying hours, so feel free to message me and ask if I’m available, I’m pretty flexible and accommodating! Thank you for trusting me ❤️🦮🐈 Regular Hours: MON-SUN 2PM-9PM I currently have a part-time job, so regularly I am able to take care of your pup from 2PM-10PM. Message me to ask about a certain date/time! I have my own puppy who loves to play with any and every dog. We have a dog park at my complex to run around and play in and a large neighborhood to walk around.
About: First time clients please enjoy $20 off your first booking! https://www.rover.com/sit/chanwl43421 As a full-time clinical psychologist working from home, I’m able to spend plenty of quality time with the dogs I care for. Your pup won’t be left alone or bored. I’m here throughout the day for companionship, playtime, and attentive supervision. What makes our home extra special is that my lovely and caring spouse also works from home. This means your dog will always have someone around, receiving attention, love, and care from both of us. There’s never a moment where they’ll be left out or overlooked. I have hands-on experience with rescue dogs, and I’ve personally adopted and trained one myself. This experience, combined with my professional background in behavioral psychology, allows me to understand dogs’ needs on a deeper level from anxiety and attachment to motivation and habit-building. We always welcome a meet & greet before booking. There’s a large, quiet park right by our home where we can meet in a neutral setting, talk through your dog’s needs and routine, and make sure everyone feels comfortable. Feel free to reach out and schedule one! Above all, your dog’s safety is my number one priority. Rover provides strong safety guidelines, and I’ve already had positive experiences using Rover’s tools to handle unexpected situations with calm and flexibility. You can trust that your pup will be in capable and loving hands. I work from home on weekdays, which gives me the flexibility to provide care throughout the day. I’m generally available at most times during the week, and with a little notice, I can usually accommodate weekend requests as well. I focus on creating a calm, safe, and personalized environment for every dog in my care whether it's for daycare or home boarding. I take time to understand each pup’s unique needs, follow their routines closely, and provide lots of love and attention to help them feel at home. Whether your dog stays at my home or I care for them in yours, I focus on creating a calm, safe, and loving environment. I follow your dog's routine closely and always keep safety top of mind whether it's leash rules on walks, feeding instructions, or respecting boundaries around other pets. In my home, pets have plenty of space to relax and play. I never leave dogs unattended, and I provide regular check-ins and updates so you can feel confident your pup is in good hands.
“Jessica was amazing! I booked her super last minute since my regular sitter could no longer do the last day I needed and she accepted. I was and AM so grateful for Jessica and her service. My girls can be very shy but she had no issues. I will definitely use her again!”
“Katherine did an awesome job taking care of our pup while we were gone for the weekend. She is very detailed and communicated everything we needed to know about Kobi. Would definitely recommend her services to anybody in need of a pup sitter!”
“Minerva was incredibly responsive for our last-minute request for a daily drop-in to take care of our 2 cats. She gave great communication and cute photos of our boys to keep us feeling connected to them while we were traveling, and we came home to a clean place & happy kitties!”

Kate was wonderful to work with when taking care of my KitKat! KitKat seemed really happy and open for pets with Kate. She was also great with giving KitKat her daily pills. Thank you again for watching her! I highly recommend Kate for watching your little ones!
Bethany was fabulous! She followed all our instructions and the kitties absolutely loved her! The best part were the photos and updates she sent after each visit which made being away from our fur babies a little easier, knowing they were in such good hands. Highly recommend!!
Destiny was such a wonderful sitter for our furbaby Mazzie! She did everything we asked and more! We got so many pictures and videos of Mazzie playing and looking adorable which was such a relief because this was the first time she was alone since we got her. I could tell Destiny got along really well with her and that’s hard to do! She even helped us out with closing our blinds which we had forgotten! I was also really grateful at how communicative she was. I could expect a response within 30 minutes every time! I will definitely be booking her again!!
Joanna was great with my kitties and they warmed up to her super quick which is unusual! She was very communicative the entire week which gave me such peace of mind while away. It felt great to know my babies were being so well taken care of. Would definitely rebook.
