Jennifer was wonderful to work with. She came to meet us and Yumi before our trip. She was prompt and responsive as well. Would definitely recommend her and hope to have her sit for Yumi again on our next trips!

About: Lifelong animal lover based in Ventura. I’ve had small dogs my entire life (two currently!) and have cared for three long-lived cats over the years. I’m reliable, calm, and attentive with both energetic and more independent pets. Comfortable with senior pets, medications, and detailed care routines. Available for walks and drop‑ins. Serving Downtown, Midtown, and beach areas. I'm semi-retired and have a very flexible schedule. I'm able to do multiple visits a day and I am often available last-minute. Time of day/evening/night also flexible. At home, my two rescue pups, Lucy and Ethel, have pretty free run. They usually sleep on my bed and are never far away when I’m relaxing on the sofa. When caring for clients’ pets, I aim to provide the same consistency and comfort they’re used to, following your routines and preferences as closely as possible.

About: Hi, My name is Saul and I just got to LA. I am originally from Mexico. My experience with dogs is the following: I used to have a cocker spaniel (Dixie) and a basset hound (Frida) when at the age of 8 and from there on they became my best friends! Unfortunately due to time and age Dixie passed away and Frida is now to old to do any activities. She still lives with my parents back home. The main reason why I want to babysit dogs is for me to pass time with them. I love dogs and love playing with them. UPDATE I recently started foster and unfortunately was a foster fail. My new puppy Baffy loves all dogs and is very playful. Will only take dogs that are friendly with other dogs. Currently working full time but work from home Mondays and Fridays where I usually go for hikes and walks on the beach. I am avail those days and weekends! I am very open to your pets needs. At home I allow them to be at the bed and furniture after getting used to Rocky being the owner of the house. However, understand each dog is different and will accommodate to the best. At home have plenty of space in case of a crater and at your place will follow all rules.

Jessica did drop in visits with our sweet cat, Ralph for a week while we were out of town. Ralph is very much of a dog like kind of cat that gets lonely and needy for love and cuddles so it's always so hard leaving him. We could not ask for a better person to spend time with our little buddy! Jessica is such a sweet and kind person, I knew right away I had found a perfect match for us. This is going to sounds crazy, but our cat can pick up on "high strung" or "anxious" types of personalities so he isn't always as comfortable with those kinds of people.. we know from certain family members interacting with him lol! But Jessica is honestly such a sweet soul and mellow personality that I knew Ralph would instantly connect and feel comfortable with her & he totally did!! We will absolutely be asking Jessica to sit with him from now on whenever we need someone! She sent several pictures and gave updates, couldn't ask for anything better. It gave us such peace of mind knowing Ralph had someone loving on him while we were gone. We could not thank you enough, Jessica!

About: I started with taming and caring for all the stray cats (and owned 2 outdoor cats) in my childhood neighborhood since kindergarten! I would also be hired to take care of my neighbor's dogs, cats & koi fish when they went on vacation. As I got older I spent more time caring for my own lovely pup Dosquie, and used Rover many times for her, so I'm very familiar with the Rover process. Currently, I'm a digital nomad that works for my friend's video game company & does creative writing remotely. I travel while I work, and enjoy the company of furry friends on my adventures! Colorado has become my new favorite place to roam, and in my free time I mountaineer, climb, hike, and kayak. I'm also a big film buff & went to film school! I look forward to meeting you and your amazing pets, please reach out if you need a sitter or dog walker! My schedule as a digital nomad is flexible. I can work around your pet's schedule and typical routine so their day feels normal while you're gone. I also enjoy taking dogs & leash-trained cats out on little field trips for hikes if you'd like me to! I treat your home with the respect of my own, and will leave the place as I found it when you return. Trash will be taken out & floors will be swept/mopped for you. If you'd like I can also give your pet a bath before you return! Just let me know where the pet soap supplies are :)

About: Hi there! I'm a very paw-sitive person with a lifelong love for animals. I've been caring for pets my entire life, and was lucky enough to grow up with a mom who's a retired veterinary technician. Over the years, she taught me not only how to love animals, but how to truly care for them; spotting when they're uncomfortable or unwell, giving medications, and understanding their needs beyond the basics. In my household, dogs have always been more than pets, they're family. I treat every animal in my care the same way I treat my own, with patience, affection, and attention to detail. I'm also a strong communicator and believe great pet care includes great updates. I make it a priority to keep owners informed with messages, photos, and check-ins, and I'm always responsive if you have questions or specific requests. Your peace of mind matters just as much as your pet's happiness. I love long walks and hikes, beach adventures, dog snuggles, throwing their favorite toy, or simply giving a great belly scratch if that's what they need that day. Whether your pup is high-energy or a couch cuddler, I'm here to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. I plan my schedule around consistent walks and check ins, and I’m used to being dependable and on time. I enjoy building regular routines with pets so they feel comfortable and well cared for. I care for pets by following their established routines to help them feel comfortable and stress-free. This includes feeding on schedule, walks or jogging appropriate to their age and energy level, playtime, and plenty of attention and affection. I focus on both their physical and emotional needs and adjust care based on each pet’s personality. In a client’s home, I’m respectful, clean, and attentive, and I follow all instructions closely. I also communicate clearly and provide updates so owners feel confident and at ease while they’re away.

About: I have taken care of several pets! My first pet was a dog named Lucky who I had for almost 18 years. I have also taken care of friends’ pets when they go out of town at my home and theirs. My schedule is completely flexible as Rover is the only thing I’d be doing; I have lots of time to spend with your fur babies! I have years of experience in taking care of dogs at my home and the pets’ homes. I’m very communicative and provide lots of pictures of your fur babies when they are entrusted to me. For now I’d only be going to your home, but expect a boarding option soon!

About: Animals have always been family to me, and after struggling to find reliable care for my own pets, I became that person for others. With 9+ years of experience, I’ve cared for everything from energetic puppies and playful kittens to seniors needing extra support. I’m skilled in administering medications including insulin, steroids, allergy treatments, and subcutaneous fluids. I currently care for my own special-needs cat, so I understand how important gentle, attentive care is. Whether it’s maintaining daily routine, giving medications on schedule, or simply providing comfort and companionship, I care for every animal as if they were my own. My priority is making every pet feel safe, loved, and at home while you’re away. 🐾 I have an open and flexible schedule, which means I’m available to care for your pets any time such as weekdays, weekends, mornings, or evenings. Whether you need daily visits, overnight house sitting, or extended care, I can easily adjust to your pet’s routine and provide consistent attention, exercise, and companionship whenever you need it. When caring for pets in their own home, I make it my priority to create a calm, safe, and familiar environment so they feel completely at ease while you’re away. I follow your care instructions closely, from feeding routines and medication schedules to walks, playtime, and bedtime habits to keep everything consistent. I’m attentive, respectful of your home, and treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel loved, secure, and well cared for at all times.

About: From playful puppies to gentle senior kitties and everything in between, I offer compassionate, dependable, pet care filled with love, patience, and experience you can trust! I am currently a nursing student at Westmont College. I have school Monday-Thursday, but only Mondays and Thursdays are completely booked. All other days I can work something out :) I do not offer pet care at my house, (I have two kitties of my own) however, when I take care of your fur babies wherever that may be, I will not stray from your rules, way of care, or any schedules you have already in place.

Georgia really saved me at the last minute when I had to leave town for most of the day. I was able to book her late the night before, and she was happy to accommodate and drop in twice to check on my little guy. This was my first time booking a sitter for Otis, and I was nervous since he’s very selective about who he interacts with. He immediately took a liking to her and looked so comfortable, which put my mind at ease. She sent multiple pictures and kept me updated each time she visited. I’d absolutely recommend her and will definitely book her again!
