“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: Need a trustworthy sitter for your furry friend? I offer drop-in visits and walks that include feeding, fresh water, and plenty of playtime. I’m an observant and patient caregiver who treats every dog like my own. I have experience with both small and large breeds. I also have experience with other animals including fish, birds, rodents and reptiles. As an all around animal lover you can count on me to treat your best friend with love and respect. I am currently working part-time from home in the Sherman Oaks area. My schedule generally is flexible as long as I am given enough notice. I treat every drop-in visit as an opportunity to make your pet feel loved and secure while you’re away. I start by checking your pet’s wellbeing and temperament, followed by their scheduled feeding and fresh water. I love getting to know each pet's unique personality.

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.

About: I’m a previous pet owner myself, who has 6 years of experience caring for cats and dogs under my belt. Getting to spend time with animals never fails to brighten my day. Building a trusting relationship with them is even more rewarding. I’m a very gentle and firm (if needed) caretaker and I pride myself on connecting with animals through the unspoken language of good energy haha! I’m currently unemployed so my schedule is very flexible when I’m not at acting class on Sundays. I’m an early-morning person and I love to hike - all I need is a buddy! I’m a very adaptable person - whatever you say, goes. I’m gentle but firm when needed, and I am a chronic rule follower lol. I love going on walks and spending time in nature, as well as curling up on the couch and watching tv, so I’m game for whatever your baby needs!

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.

Mikayla was so thoughtful and understanding, truly going above and beyond. It was a relief knowing my beloved cat was in good hands and I enjoyed the pics and updates. I would definitely rebook and hopefully will be able to again for future trips, I’m grateful ☺️

As usual, Kerry is a Godsend. My kitty cat was healthy and happy after our return from vacation over 2.5 weeks. I should be jealous at how easily forgotten I was by my cat once Kerry took over. She’s so professional and caring. Def our go to sitter when we are away. Thanks Kerry and thank you Rover.

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.

Katherine is just the best. I never want to lose her! She's always on time, goes the extra mile to really make sure our cat is eating properly, taking his medication, using the bathroom, and getting in a little play time. She even reaches out privately to make sure I know of any oddities that might be worth letting me know about on the sooner side. She's just a lovely and responsible person.

Kim was fantastic! She took care of my many indoor and outdoor cats with their several feeding stations., When I returned their water and food bowls were full and clean. Pictures were taken of all the feeding areas (with available cats) each day. Unasked she brought in packages that were delivered while I was gone. I especially liked the fact that she listed my instructions during our meet and greet and sent them to me to confirm. A good thing since I had forgotten one very important instruction. I will definitely use her in the future.
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!

Our second time with Jenny caring for our three cats! Our cats absolutely love her. Everything was smooth including timing of check-ins, message updates, responsiveness, and ensuring our home is secured when she finishes the check-ins. Thank you so much as always, Jenny!

We had such a wonderful experience with Itzel! From the very first interaction, she was warm, professional, and clearly passionate about caring for animals. We especially appreciated the regular updates, photos, and thoughtful attention to our pet’s routine and needs. We had total peace of mind while we were away. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy, kind, and reliable pet sitter. We will absolutely be booking again!
