“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: 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: 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: 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.
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: With over a decade of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments, I provide dependable, compassionate, and attentive dog sitting that pet owners can truly trust. My approach combines safety, structure, and genuine affection—ensuring every dog feels comfortable, happy, and well-cared for while their owner is away. I have extensive experience with daily walks, feeding routines, medication administration, puppy care, senior dog support, and managing multiple dogs at once. My goal is always the same: to create a calm and loving environment where every dog feels safe. Because your dog deserves more than just a sitter, they deserve a trusted companion! Since I work part-time and as a self employed, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time, attention, and care to the pets I look after. Pet sitting fits perfectly into my daily and weekly routine, giving me the ability to provide consistent walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship throughout the day. Because I’m not tied to a full-time schedule or any company, I’m often available for morning, afternoon, and evening care, making it easy to adapt to each pet’s normal routine. I truly enjoy spending time with animals, and caring for them is a natural and rewarding part of my everyday life. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my priority is keeping their routine as normal, comfortable, and stress-free as possible. I make sure pets receive consistent feeding, fresh water, regular walks, playtime, and plenty of attention and affection throughout the visit. I also pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and needs, ensuring they feel safe and relaxed in their familiar environment. I treat every home with the utmost respect and keep owners updated so they can feel confident that their beloved pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while they’re away.
“Minerva is such a wonderful sitter. Fast, responsive, prompt, great communication. She was kind and loving and very attentive to our kitty cat when we were away. Awesome updates and photographs. It was reassuring having Minerva in our home with our cat. 100% recommend if you need a super sitter. We are really grateful.”
Van Nuys pet parents share their Rover experiences
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!!
Jenny is top tier!! I have no doubt in my mind my precious Charlie is in good hands with her. Wonderful descriptions and updates on Charlie when we’re gone! I honestly look forward to them. Amazing photography that includes action level shots. Jenny is my go-to. Highly recommend!
Jen was great! This was our families first time using Rover, so while we were a little nervous, Jen was just fantastic. She got our slightly complicated entry instructions and took care of our dogs like a pro. Really sweet and we are just super happy! Thanks Jen!
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!!
Katherine is such a kind soul and her service so very wonderful . Every day we looked forward to her updates and photos with our cat. You can really tell how much she loves animals and we really felt cared for. Not to mention, she was very helpful with other things like bringing a package in, litter box, and timing.
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.
