Jackeline took great care of my babies! She always kept me updated and went above and beyond for them. She did their dishes and even left them additional treats. Highly recommend!

About: I’ve always been the person friends and family trust to watch their pets because I genuinely love spending time with animals. I know how stressful it can be to leave your pet with someone else, so I do my best to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s a puppy with lots of energy, a senior pet who needs a slower pace and extra care, or a pet that’s a little shy at first, I’m patient and happy to adjust to their needs. I pay attention to the little things, follow routines closely, and love sending updates and photos so you know your pet is doing well. My goal is for your pet to feel like they’re hanging out with a friend, not just being watched I’m currently on summer break from my job as an elementary after-school teacher, so I have a more flexible schedule and extra time to dedicate to pet care. During the summer, I work a part-time job, which allows me to provide care before and after my shifts. I’m able to plan my schedule around pets’ needs and make sure they get the attention, care, and companionship they deserve. I’m also available on weekends for extra visits, overnight care, or just some extra love and attention if needed. 🐾❤️ When caring for pets in your home, I try to keep their routine as normal as possible so they feel comfortable while you’re away. I’ll make sure they’re fed on schedule, have fresh water, clean litter boxes, and get plenty of love and attention. I know every cat is different—some want constant cuddles and playtime, while others prefer their space—so I always let them set the pace. I’ll also send updates and photos so you can relax knowing your cat is happy and well cared for

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.

You can tell Vanessa is great with animals. Our shy guy warmed up to her right away. And she handled our 80 lb big guy well, too. We will definitely hire her again to come walk our dogs.

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have experience caring for pets of all ages. I currently have a senior dog, so I’m familiar with the extra patience, attention, and care that older pets often need. Since I was 16, I’ve provided pet sitting and house sitting for friends, family, and neighbors, giving me experience with feeding, walks, playtime, administering routines, and ensuring pets feel comfortable while their owners are away. What sets me apart is that I genuinely treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m reliable, attentive, and understand the importance of keeping owners updated so they can feel at ease knowing their pets are in good hands. I have a flexible schedule, allowing me to dedicate time and attention to the pets I care for. Currently I have open availability. I enjoy spending time outdoors, going on walks, and providing companionship, so pet care fits seamlessly into my daily life. My top priority is making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. During drop-in visits and house sitting, I follow all feeding, medication, exercise, and care instructions provided by the owner. I make sure pets have fresh water, plenty of attention, playtime, and potty breaks, and I keep owners updated with photos and messages for peace of mind. During walks, I use secure leashes and harnesses as directed, stay aware of my surroundings, and prioritize each pet’s safety at all times. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and needs, so I take the time to build trust and ensure they feel comfortable and well cared for while their owner is away.

About: I have experience in puppies and senior dogs. I am well versed in the crazy routine like singing a song before the dogs eat, and I am easily adjustable to the routine that they will need. I am currently working part time, and have two pups of my own. I can happily do drop ins at their home so they feel comfortable. As well as can handle a walkies at the beginning and end of the day! Drop ins to the client’s home would be preferred. The safety of the baby is the upmost priority, as well as their comfortability with myself and their need to go potty! I’m happy to do whatever long system or routine they have in place for feeding or walking, or playing. Whatever makes them comfortable!

About: I grew up surrounded by animals my whole life, so caring for dogs isn't just something I do; it's basically in my blood. These days, I'm mom to two sassy fur babies of my own, Sophie and Daisy, which means I'm fluent in zoomies, guilty looks after stolen socks, and the very serious business of belly rubs. I'm attentive to routine and consistency, which I've found makes a huge difference for dogs adjusting to time without their owners. Whether it's sticking to their usual feeding schedule, favorite walking route, or bedtime habits, I make sure their world feels as normal as possible while you're away. A note on breed size: I happily welcome small to medium dogs for walks and sitting. I love big dogs just as much, and for larger breeds, I currently offer drop-in visits and sitting, with walks available once I know the dog is leash-trained and walks calmly (just to keep everyone safe and comfortable). What you can expect from me: - Regular photo/video updates so you always know how your fur baby is doing - Patience and attentiveness with dogs of all personalities - A calm, consistent presence that keeps your dog's routine on track - Genuine care, I know how hard it is to leave your dog with someone new, and I want to make that transition as easy as possible Right now, I'm in an exciting season of figuring out what's next for me career-wise, and I'm looking for something joyful and meaningful. Honestly, nothing brings me more joy than being around dogs. That means I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time and energy to devote to your pup, whether that's a quick drop-in, a leisurely walk, or a full day (or overnight) of care. I will respect your home as if it was mine and will follow any specific instructions to make sure you fur baby is cared for and comfortable.

About: Hi! I’ve grown up with dogs all my life, up to 5 dogs. I’ve never had an empty household. Dog hair is a part of my life lol. I’ll be make sure to give your pet plenty of scratchies & pets if they allow it! I love snuggles with pets and giving them my undivided attention :) I’m currently working part-time, I am an artist as well. I moved away from home without my pets, so I would love provide for pets! I have plenty of time to care for your pets. I currently am looking to move into an apartment, so at the moment I don’t have space to care for a pet overnight, but I can travel.

About: Hello, My name is Sandy. I've had pets all my life, from aquatic pets to fur babies. I love animals and have three dogs of my own. All with their own personalities and I take care of all their needs, from food, hygiene, and physical health to make sure they are happy. I'm positive I can cater to your baby's specific needs as well. I'm patient with my dogs, as I understand every dog has their own personality and different needs. I'm loving, caring, and observative of their behaviors. I love dogs of all breeds would love to help fellow dog owners by providing my services. I currently live in Van Nuys area but I can take clients that live in Palmdale as well as I visit very often. I am currently a student at CSUN & I have an open availability. I am available weekdays and weekends anytime with little to no notice in advance. I live in an apartment with my German Shepard. I know how important it is to exercise your dog especially in a smaller space so we go on walks 3x a day. He is my spoiled baby. I fall in love with all dogs I take care of as if they were my own & like to take extra steps (cuddles, treats, walking, playing.. etc) to ensure they are comfortable while their parents are away.

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.

All of my kitties fell in love with Vanessa. She was as attentive to the shy and aloof adult cats as she was to the playful 12-week-old foster kittens. This was something I really appreciated, as my adult cats - while not hostile - aren't exactly charming to strangers. Vanessa told me she brought her own cat from to California when she moved here. That told me she thinks of pets as true lifetime companions. She then also adopted a dog and just exudes positive vibes. I would 100% recommend her services.

First time using Rover and so nervous to leave my babies. Emma was so patient and kind with me sending her pictures and long written out instructions to make sure I didn't forget anything. She followed them all and sent me updates. I've never felt more comfortable leaving them with anyone. Thank you Emma

This was my first time using Rover, and Genesis was the perfect dog sitter for our dog, Sheldon. My dog is pretty picky, but Genesis was able to make friends with him very quickly. She was very kind and playful with him, and I felt totally comfortable trusting him into her care. She went above and beyond making sure he was taken care of. I loved how well she kept me updated, with pictures and updates on how Sheldon was doing. Each time she sent me pictures of him playing, it reassured me that I made the right decision, having Genesis looking after him. She looked after our house while we were gone and left it exactly how I left it. I feel like I got very lucky finding her. I will definitely rebook Genesis to look after our dog.

Minerva is the most amazing pet sitter. She attends so well to my babies and their needs, and communicates with me so amazing and goes above and beyond for my cats. This is the second time I’ve booked with Minerva, and I will forever book with her when I leave out of town. She helps relieve so much worry when I’m gone, and I know they will be well taken care of, and I don’t have to worry. I am so glad I found her, and she’s so amazing.
