About: Please read until the end :) I’ve been an animal person for as long as I can remember. I got my first dog at 11. It was a 2 year old Pomeranian. And a year later we brought home another, this time a senior. Having two dogs that young meant I had to show my parents that I was responsible. So I learned take care of them myself, from baths to keeping up with their vaccines. Some of my favorite memories are just walking them to the park or running around the house playing chase until I was completely drenched in sweat. Now I have the most adorable 4 year old kitty I adopted as a kitten, and she completely changed my mind about cats! I really do love both dogs and cats equally. Honestly, in another life I’d probably be a vet or working with wildlife, but for now I just genuinely love taking care of (mostly non-marine) animals and treating them like my own. Please note the following: Drop-offs and pick-ups are accepted between 6:30 AM – 9:00 PM. I can only host up to 1 furry visitor at a time. Please ignore the additional pet rates on my Rover profile. Booking Timeframes Daycare (up to 12 hours): - Daycare includes up to 12 hours of care. - Example: 7AM drop-off → 7PM pick-up - Latest pick-up is 9PM Boarding (24-hour period): - Boarding covers a full 24-hour period from drop-off time. Extended stays beyond the included time may incur additional fees. - Daycare exceeding 12 hours may be charged as extended care - Boarding exceeding 24 hours may incur a late pick-up fee I normally work from home. So I am almost always available to play and spend time with your furry babies! I am also pretty active and love going on a run/taking walks to nearby parks. I live in an apartment with a spacious, gated yard. I also have a very social cat who gets along well with both dogs and cats. I’ve previously pet sat for friends’ dogs and cats, so I’m familiar with managing multiple pets in the home. If needed, I can keep my cat in my room for the duration of your pet’s stay to make sure your pet has a comfortable, low stress environment.
“Anya was absolutely fantastic with our two kitties!!! She sent detailed updates each day with photos, and was super responsive throughout our correspondence. Could not recommend her more highly—we’ll be using you again and again Anya!”
“We couldn’t be more grateful for the care our cats received! Molly went above and beyond—playing with the cats daily and leaving detailed notes about their behavior and the condition of our home. She even took out the trash and swept up stray litter. We came home to happy, well-cared-for pets and a tidy home. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible and thoughtful cat sitter!”
“Lindsey took good care of Salsa while I was away for a short trip. Salsa got her mini walks, her litter box cleared and a chicken treat bowl each day. Lindsey and her lovely boy made sure Salsa had a good play time.”
About: I’ve personally had many dogs and cats throughout both my childhood and now adulthood and consider them my family. I’m patient, kind, caring and very good with any and all special care needs for younger or older pets. I’m currently working part time and remotely from my home so I have a lot of time and flexibility / openings daily as may be needed. I have a fenced yard in a nice, safe neighborhood with one male terrier mix dog and one long haired domestic long hair cat. I work remotely so am home with my pets and any additional friends I may meet who come by! Very animal safe!
“Laura is amazing! She stepped in super last minute to take care of my boy when my friend flaked on me WHILE I was out of town. Laura is kind, trustworthy, and very patient. My dog is a bit on the shyer side and she seemed to know exactly what to do on how to gain his trust based on intuition and experience. I can’t recommend her enough and will be hiring her in the future. Thank you again, Laura! 🩷✨”
“We have a fearful senior rescue dog with a complicated history, and Liz has been great about doing an initial meet-and-great and then an extended drop-in to spend time with our dog alone. She very much understands how to interact with a fearful dog who needs time to feel trusting. Her experience as the guardian of a rescue dog herself definitely comes into play. She was punctual, cheerful, and generous-minded, and we really appreciate her willingness to work with Penny! We will definitely use her again.”
“Amanda was such a professional and took such great care of my two dogs. I was worried about leaving them with someone new but Amanda did a meet and greet with us prior to our trip and it calmed all my worries. She was always very fast to communicate and sent us detailed updates and photos that helped us know our dogs were win great hands. My two dogs loved her even after her first visit. For sure we’ll hire Amanda again!”
“Our dog Luna is normally very shy around new people but she absolutely loves Aditi! She went above and beyond to take care of her and always sent us the cutest pictures and videos with each visit. She is hands down the best sitter we’ve had. 10/10 highly recommend!”
About: I’m your go-to plant waterer, got my first plant babies and haven’t stopped taking care of them wherever I go — offices, parties… wherever I see they need a little attention haha! I love my little yappie yorkie and have a few experiences dog & cat sitting for friends here and there for up to a week at a time for friends over the years. I’m available every weekend and 3 days out of the week — those days are flexible so just reach out to me ahead of time and we can work something out :) I usually let pets taking their time warming up to me and let them gauge how much they want to play/cuddle/have their own space. Detailed instructions with specifics and preferences are always much appreciated 🙏🏽
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and animals my whole life and have always loved being around them. I have my own dog, so I understand how important it is to find someone caring, patient, and trustworthy to look after your pet. I offer dog walks and drop-in visits/checkups and will always make sure your dog feels comfortable, safe, and cared for. I’ve always loved dogs, and I honestly enjoy walking them. I’m doing Rover because I’d love to spend more time with dogs while helping owners who need an extra hand. I treat every walk like I’m caring for my own pet — with attention, patience, and lots of love. My schedule is very flexible, and I understand that life happens, so I try to be as accommodating as possible if plans change or cancellations come up. I am more than happy to send updates while taking care of your dog and will always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I understand every dog has their own routine and personality, so I try to make each visit or walk as stress-free and enjoyable as possible. Your dog’s safety, happiness, and well-being will always be my top priority.
“Alyssa was able to help us out with short notice. She was very sweet, professional and friendly so we felt completely safe and happy leaving out cat in her care. Good communication & care!”
“Alex was a lifesaver, a last minute trip had me in need of a sitter. Although we didn’t meet face to face she was comfortable with a video call, heard all my needs which aren’t a lot and followed them to a T. She also left a hand written note that I thought was the sweetest thing and a detail that stood out so much to me and I know that’s how detail focused she was looking after my Arthur! Would definitely work with her again. And hopefully meet in person lol”
“Talia was so amazing with my dog. During her drop-in visit, she was super communicative and sent plenty of updates and photos which I really appreciated. It was so nice to see how happy and comfortable my dog was with her. My dog clearly adored her and was happy and relaxed when I got home. I’d trust Talia to watch my dog anytime and I'll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Wrenley is amazing! She took such great care of Bumi and was incredibly thoughtful, asking detailed questions to make sure she understood exactly how to care for him. We felt so comfortable leaving him with her.”

West Los Angeles pet parents share their Rover experiences
I took a chance booking Janelle last minute for over two weeks of daily visits and I’m so glad I did! She was so sweet and communicative, cleaned up after my kitty in multiple ways, and even took out my trash at the end of the job. I will definitely be booking with Janelle again!
Super last-minute trip meant usual sitters weren't available so I turned to Rover. James was incredibly prompt, professional, and helpful in his replies and lucky for me (and my cat) he was available for a last minute booking. I booked two drop-ins per day for a week and he went above and beyond to care for my baby. He sent thorough reports and adorable pics each visit, paid great attention to detail, and did an overall fantastic job. Highly recommend James for pet care and wouldn't hesitate to book him again. I think my cat actually MISSES his playtime buddy.
Julia did a great job cat sitting for me for two weeks. She communicated clearly and consistently, and was very flexible with scheduling and any changes. My home was left clean and well cared for. Most importantly, my usually shy cat felt comfortable with her, which really says a lot. I would definitely trust her to cat sit again.
Betteena saved my cat’s life. Truly. What was supposed to be routine pet sitting turned into a medical emergency for one of my cats while I was away, and I genuinely do not know what I would have done without her. My cat Harley became seriously ill, and she immediately stepped in without hesitation. She was flexible, updating her visits and adjusting her schedule around my cat’s medication needs. She monitored him constantly, administered medications, cleaned up after his accidents, and kept me updated nonstop. She didn’t just “watch” my pets. She saved Harley as if he were her own. In one of the most stressful moments imaginable, she stayed calm, proactive, compassionate, and unbelievably attentive. She noticed every detail, acted quickly, and handled everything with so much care and urgency. Because of her, Harley got help when he needed it most. I truly believe she saved his life. On top of all of that, she still made sure my other cat was equally loved, comforted, and cared for. My home was immaculate, communication was constant, and I never once questioned whether my pets were safe in her hands. Finding someone you trust with your animals is rare. Finding someone who loves and protects them as fiercely as you do is almost impossible. She is that person. I will forever be booking Betteena and recommending her to every pet parent I know. If you are lucky enough to book her, do it immediately. There are not enough stars, words, or thank-yous in the world for what she did for my family. Harley and I will forever be grateful.
Mariah was an excellent pet sitter! She provided great communication throughout the stay, including regular updates and pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind. She was also able to make last minute accommodations to best fit my puppy’s needs, and I truly appreciated her flexibility and care. My puppy was well taken care of, and I would absolutely love to work with Mariah again in the future. Highly recommend!
Caitlin is amazing!!! She was so loving and caring towards my cats, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away visiting family for a week. I’ve gone through many cat sitters, many of whom I felt like didn’t give my cats enough love during their visits, and I can confidently say that I felt like my cats were very loved and in good hands. I highly recommend booking with Caitlin!! 💕
Emily was absolutely amazing. She watched our two kitties for a week while we were away, and I felt so comfortable with them in her care. She sent tons of updates, pictures, and went above and beyond to clean up after them, play with them, and bond with them. I can tell they already miss her, and we can’t wait to book her again the next time we leave town.
Yuliia was wonderful! She was great with the cats and very communicative. I loved all the photos she sent and she was proactive about things like the litter box and checking on the food levels for their feeder. I would definitely recommend Yuliia as a cat sitter for anyone looking for a sitter for their cats!
