About: I have extensive pet sitting experience and come from a family of animal lovers—we were always the go-to pet sitters, even when we didn’t have pets of our own. I genuinely love dogs (yes, I’m the guy who always asks to pet your dog). I’m based in Van Nuys and currently building my Rover profile as a part-time sitter. At the moment, I’m traveling by walking, which means I focus on nearby clients and reliable, on-time care. I take responsibility seriously and treat every pet like they’re my own. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! Monday–Friday: late afternoon to late evening. Flexible and open to other times as needed, including late-night care. Let me know a week in advance if you need weekend care. I care for pets in my client’s home by following their instructions closely and making sure I respect their routines, rules, and preferences. I understand that every pet and household is different, so I take the time to learn what each animal is used to—feeding schedules, walking routes, behavior guidelines, and any special care needs.

“Shannon was communicative and thoughtful! Would highly recommend.”

About: I’ve had multiple pets my entire life, I currently have a 10 year old terrier mix her name is Horchata like the drink lol. My goal is to give your pets the same kind of dependable, loving care I would want for my own, while keeping you updated so you can have peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. I’m currently home from college only working like 2 days out of the week so I have plenty of spare time to take care of any furry friends. I’m available most weekdays with a super flexible schedule. I care for pets by making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. In a client’s home, I follow their specific instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, medications, and bedtime routines. I also make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship throughout the day. I’m also super respectful of each client’s home and always clean up after the pets and leave everything neat and organized.

“Jackie has looked in on my dog and cat a couple times now when my family is away, and I have full confidence in her. She's reliable, considerate and a pleasure to communicate with. Highly recommend!”

“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: As dog owners ourselves, we believe in a simple principle: we won't do anything for your dog that we wouldn't do for our own. During the time they're with us, we treat them as if they were our own, with full attention and care. What makes our care different is that your dog gets the attention of two people, not one! Both my spouse and I work from home, so there's always someone around for companionship, playtime, and supervision throughout the day. We also know LA life can be unpredictable, so having two of us means we're able to stay flexible and work around your schedule whenever possible. As a clinical psychologist with a background in behavioral psychology, plus hands-on experience having personally adopted and trained a rescue dog, I understand dogs' needs on a deeper level, from anxiety and attachment to motivation and habit-building. Over the years caring for dogs across LA, we've worked with a wide range of breeds, sizes, and personalities, including dogs with picky eating, excessive barking, or high energy levels, and tailor our approach to each dog's individual needs. We always welcome a meet & greet before booking! There's a large, quiet park right by our home where we can chat through your dog's routine and make sure everyone feels comfortable. **First time clients please enjoy $20 off your first booking!** https://www.rover.com/sit/chanwl43421 Schedule Both my spouse and I work from home, so we're available for care any day of the week! Weekdays and weekends alike. This also gives us a lot of flexibility with pick-up and drop-off times, and we're happy to work around your schedule. Whether you need a quick daycare visit or long-term boarding, we'd love to help. Safety, trust & environment In our home, pets have plenty of space to relax and play, and with two of us around, dogs are never left unattended! You'll get regular check-ins and updates so you can feel confident your pup is in good hands. I follow your dog's routine closely and keep safety top of mind, whether it's leash rules on walks, feeding instructions, or respecting boundaries around other pets (We have three playpens! on hand, so we can easily section off space when needed). Our back patio is fully fenced, so dogs can enjoy off-leash time to run and play safely. We've made sure there's nothing sharp or hazardous back there, and we clean up after every potty break and hose down the area to keep it fresh and sanitary. Neighborhood dogs stop by for potty breaks too, so it's also a great spot for your pup to socialize. Being a typical Asian household, we don't wear shoes inside and that same care extends to keeping things clean for your pup! We vacuum 3-4 times a day, wash food and water bowls after every use, and wipe down paws with baby wipes (dog-wipes on request!) after walks.

About: I have grown up with animals my entire life. My family lives on a "gentleman" farm, so animal care comes second nature. I have always had at least 2 family dogs at a time, and they have always felt like siblings. I have been with some from the beginning to the end of their life, so I have experience with dogs at any stage. Although not a certified trainer, I have some knowledge of puppy training. My family also has cats! We fostered both cats and dogs for about four years. We have had everything from small puppies to noisy, energetic Huskies, as well as a litter of kittens with their momma! I live in an apartment without any pets now, so I would love to meet your loved one to fill that missing piece! I am currently working part-time, so my schedule is flexible! I should have plenty of time to help care for your babies. I am most available on the weekends. I am very attentive to detail, so I am confident that I can meet your needs and demands in your home! I will make sure they are always fed and nurtured, with plenty of outside time.

About: Before college, I had 2 dogs and a cat. One of the dogs was solely my responsibility aside from dealing with vet issues. Overall, I love making new pet friends, am fit and enjoy exercising with them, and am very adaptable to whatever you may need help with. I’m about to start a job working 35 hours a week on September 28th. At that point my only consistent availability will be Sunday and m-s after 6pm. Until then my availability is wide open! I will not be able to take your pets to my apartment because it would violate my lease. If I could, I would’ve just gotten my own pet.

“I am so grateful for Mikayla’s consistently thoughtful care of my beloved shy/grumpy six year old cat. The hardest part of travel is being away from my cat and it is a relief knowing he’ll have a kind, watchful eye on him, and access to his favorite treats while I’m away :)”

About: What sets me apart as a dog sitter is my unparalleled experience and genuine love for dogs, cultivated over 35 years of dedicated care! From raising puppies to caring for elderly dogs, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to every pet sitting assignment. My experience allows me to confidently administer medications, provide specialized care, and handle any situation that may arise with patience and compassion. Beyond my skills, Im a huge dog-lover! Ive had dogs since the day I was born and can't imagine life without one! I treat each dog as if they were my own. With me, your beloved dog will not only receive wonderful care, but will also experience the warmth and affection of a true dog lover, making their stay with me an unforgettable and very happy experience :) I work from home, so I'm very flexible. I can watch your dog at my house, take your dog on walks, or house sit at your place during the day. I live in a house. I have a fenced in yard. I also have a pool and grassy areas for your dog to do their business. I also have a Belgian Malinois who is so loving and playful and loves other dogs! I'm also a mom of 9 year old twins who LOVE dogs :)

“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: Hi! We're Cecilia and Nicholas! 👋🏽 This account is run by both of us and between the two of us, we've got 13+ years of experience loving and taking care of dogs! We have spent a lot of time volunteering at shelters and fostering dogs (can provide references from the shelter staff) and have successfully helped in findings homes for many dogs at the shelter. You can check out some of the dog videos I've created on my TikTok, cicijasso. We both work from home, so we have a lot of flexibility to give your dog attention, exercise, and companionship throughout the day. We're comfortable with dogs of all sizes, from tiny to big, and we have experience with reactive dogs too, since one of our own can be reactive. We understand what it takes to keep everyone safe and comfortable. A little bit about us and our dogs: Our first two dogs were Milli, a pitbull who lived a full and happy 15 years and Levi, a scrappy little rescue mutt from Texas who stole our hearts and unfortunately passed away too soon (~6 yrs) of cancer. Both were our whole world and we miss them every day! Since then, we've welcomed 2 new babes into our family. We have Sasha, a beautiful and sassy little pitbull, who we rescued from a DC shelter during our time there, and then Juno, a shy but loving German/Doberman mix, who we recently adopted during out time in Arkansas. As you can tell...we sort of love dogs and have a tendency of rescuing one wherever we go. Animals are truly our passion, not just a hobby. We'd love to help care for yours. My husband and I work from home full time and are able to step away from our computers to take them out for potty breaks every few hours. We’re flexible and able to work with any requirements your pet has for going out. For house sitting or drop-ins, we keep things as close to normal as possible: same feeding schedule, same walk times if there is one, and plenty of playtime or just hanging out so your dog isn't alone all day. We also handle meds, special diets, and any specific quirks your dog has, just let us know what they need. Because we've fostered so many dogs and volunteered at shelters, we're comfortable with dogs who need a little extra patience: nervous dogs, reactive dogs, dogs still learning basic manners. We don't expect perfect behavior, we just want your dog to feel safe and cared for the whole time you're away.

“Katharine has been a great Rover w my dog. She got her to eat even tho my dog is very picky to eat when we are not home so that to me means a lot and tells me my dog felt safe and secure with her in their visits. I will definitely book her again.”

“Gaby went above and beyond. Her communication, care and punctuality were all top notched! The animals were in great hands. Thanks once again!”

About: Most of my experience lies with animals who come from traumatic backgrounds or who have shy personalities. I have some training experience using treat motivation to shape fear based behaviors (lunging at other dogs, barking/lunging when strangers enter their home). I have a flexible schedule as long as I am notified a few days in advance. I am comfortable with home alarms and cameras and hold your pets safety above all. Both of my dogs are rescues who have anxious and nervous behaviors. I have a calm personality and approach all animals slowly and let them come to me. When I open the door to a client's home, I know I am a stranger, I let the animals come to me to sniff and feel comfortable first. I usually carry treats and try not to push any affection onto any animal who appears cautious upon first introduction. I am also open to visit before you leave for an extended period of time to ensure your pet has time to sniff me while you are home. I love to send lots of picture updates while you are away!

About: I'm a lifelong and committed animal lover. My family always had pets and I have an innate connection and affection for all animals. My family had Old English Sheep dogs (also a horse and cats) so I'm very comfortable around animals. Pets usually sense this and take to me immediately. I have a quiet, gentle nature and will do everything I can to make your pet feel safe and cared for and for you to trust that your dog is in the best hands. I'm very physically active and am more than happy to take energizing walks and hikes with your dog or play unlimited games of fetch. I’m also neat and organized and will leave your home cleaner than when I arrived. I’m comfortable with dogs and cats of all ages and sizes. I have extensive experience with anxious dogs, senior dogs, puppies, and dispensing medication for both cats and dogs. I can provide excellent recent and local references as well. Can’t wait to meet you and your pet soon! I am currently home full-time and available for drop ins, dog walks, and house and dog sitting. I’m available last minute and anytime day or night, including overnights. My schedule is open and flexible so I’m able to spend quality time with your pets. I provide care in the owner’s home. I’m happy to stay overnight, provide drop-in visits, or dog walk. I like to have as much information as possible and ideally meet in person before accepting the job to see if we’re a good fit.
