About: I have been taking care of my own animals since I got my first cat when I was 3 years old. I have also adopted many animals over the years. I am Broadway actor and performer. I was injured on my most recent job and am now looking for suplemental work while I seek treatment. I have plenty for free time while I rest and recover so this is the perfect time to pet sit your baby! I would love to meet your fur baby and get to know their needs. I know how difficult it is to be away from my babies so trust in your sitter is very important.

“As always, Aileen took great care of our cat! We are always very happy with all the photos taken and the updates! :) We don’t ever worry when Aileen is taking care of him while we are gone.”

About: I've been caring for pets since childhood, everything from dogs and cats to parrots and fish. I have hands-on experience with senior animals and understand the patience, love, and attention they need. I’m also experienced in administering medicine to pets that require it, ensuring they stay safe and comfortable. What sets me apart is my lifelong passion for animals and my commitment to treating your pets like my own, with kindness, reliability, and genuine care. Whether it's a playful pup or a gentle senior, I provide thoughtful, personalized attention to keep them happy and relaxed while you're away. As a freelance professional working from home, I have a flexible schedule that lets me provide attentive, consistent pet care throughout the day. Whether it’s a midday walk, medication, or extra cuddle time, I’m available to check in often and follow your pet’s routine closely. Because I’m home-based, your pet enjoys plenty of attention, companionship, and care, that is never rushed or overlooked. I genuinely love spending time with animals, and I’m dedicated to making sure your best friend feels happy, safe, and loved while you're away. Your pet’s comfort and safety are my top priorities. I'm happy to care for them wherever they feel most at ease, typically in the comfort of their own home environment. I believe familiar surroundings help reduce stress and keep routines consistent. I’m reliable, respectful of your space, and committed to creating a calm, caring environment during every visit. If you’re considering other options, I’m always open to discussing what works best for you and your pet to ensure a smooth, happy experience.

“Emily was very caring and conscientious with my 2 kitties. She was on time and sent me updates with pictures. My kitties are in good hands with her.”

About: I’ve had a dog my whole life and have been an animal lover for just as long. I studied animal science at Tuskegee University so needless to say I’m definitely an animal person. I love all animals and understand the care that goes into taking care of them. I look forward to meeting you and your pet and most of all looking forward to providing quality care. Give me a try, you’ll be happy you did! I will prioritize my dog care responsibilities but i also run a small business daily. I’m home mostly but may leave out for a few hours each day depending on what I’ve scheduled. I provide exercise in my backyard and lots of attention, love and care based on the needs of the dog. I have a fully closed in yard and 360 cameras for extra security.

About: Hi my name is Asia & all my life, I have been a passionate animal lover! I have had the privilege of taking care of dogs for over 18 years; from newborn puppies to senior dogs, even service animals and anxious/reactive dogs as well. I grew up around bigger breeds such as pit bulls and huskies, but as I got older, I began to be around smaller canines, such as, chihuahuas and french bull dogs, so I have plenty of experience caring for various breeds. I also have experience working closely with vet techs and I know firsthand what it’s like managing the care of sick dogs. Responsibilities such as feeding, administering and/or applying medication are not a problem for me. Spending time with animals has always been truly rewarding and also therapeutic for me. I am a certified (mobile) Massage Therapist; meaning that I am gentle, trustworthy and respectful— not to mention, I already have experience providing in-home services. I sincerely understand how sacred someone’s home is to them, so I am very mindful and considerate in regard to my cleanliness and of course, respectful of all boundaries. My passion for animals paired with my entrepreneurial integrity makes it easy to provide reliable, loving care for your precious fur baby —guaranteed :) I’m currently working part-time, so I have a lot of open availability. I also don’t have a set schedule so as long as I’m given enough notice in advance (at least 24 hours), I should be able to make arrangements for you and your pet(s). As of right now I usually work Fridays and Saturdays, but not consistently, so feel free to contact me directly if you need my services on one of those days. I don’t mind overnight stays (as long as it’s not back to back days because I have a dog of my own I have to take care of :) but if my services are needed for multiple days back to back and the client doesn’t mind me bringing my dog to their home then I may consider it. Situations vary depending on possible health risks for all pets, as well as the pet’s interaction with each other), and I am currently open on weekdays after 11am and Sundays any time. I take care of pets responsibly, while also treating them like cherished family members, with genuine love and appreciation. Whether it’s my own or someone else’s pet, I always ensure that they are safe, comfortable, and well-cared for when they’re with me. I follow feeding schedules precisely, I make sure to provide clean water, and I make time to play and exercise with them because I enjoy being active myself. I’m attentive to signs of stress or illness and I immediately take action if something seems off. Safety is a top priority for me— I pet-proof the environment by keeping harmful substances out of reach, using gates throughout my home to create partitions and I make sure to use secure leashes when going on walks. I never leave pets unattended in unsafe areas and I make sure to follow any instructions from pet owners closely; including medication, dietary needs, and behavioral preferences. I create a trustworthy environment by being consistent, patient, and calm, helping pets feel safe and comfortable. I build rapport through gentle handling, positive reinforcement, and respecting their boundaries; ensuring that they feel safe, happy, and endeared while in my care.

“Took care of my dog so well. Thank u so much!! I will use again and again!!!”

About: I have owned 2 dogs in the past, one dog for 9 years and the second dog for about 2-3 years and I'm really good at playing with them, getting their fur to shine when dirty. I always care for the dog when something seems or is wrong. Your dog will always receive love and affection from me to have the greatest time of their lives. When it comes to walking the dog, the walk is never rushed I always give the dog the time to do what they need to do, that or just get a exercise with them as we're bonding. I love all sized dogs, sizes from really small dogs to medium sized to big or really big dogs, all sized dogs all always welcomed.

About: I’ve taking care of pets since I was a little kid and play with them. And working with them is the most rewarding thing I ever do. I’m a college student and athlete but I have flexible schedule and I always I can find a perfect time to take care of your pets. I live in apartments, but is necessary I can take care of your pet in my house, I like to go for long walks and make sure that your pet get a good exercise, but also I like to spend time and play at home with your pets.

About: I have worked in the animal care field for nearly 4 years, I worked full time at a popular small dog daycare for 3 1/2 years in Manhattan beach. From puppies, senior pups, shy pups to outgoing pups i have experienced them all. I also took a vet assistant class and learned basic medical care such as oral medication, how to cool a pup down in the hot weather. I’m currently not working full time due to my job unfortunately closing its location, I will be available nearly full time for dog boarding, daycare, walks etc. I have many fur parents from my prior job following me for in home sitting and my schedule is filling up quickly! Please try to book ahead as much as possible to be able to be squeezed in I make sure the area whether indoor or outdoor is fully secure of escape or even the possibility of having a stray dog coming in, make sure anything toxic or dangerous to pets is out of reach

About: I’m new to Rover, but I bring years of experience and a heart full of love for our furry friends. I’m a lifelong animal lover with a colorful heart and a calm, patient spirit. I share my home with five rescued cats, so I know firsthand the joy—and occasional chaos!—that comes with caring for animals of all kinds. I’ve worked with multiple dogs at once and have a special place in my heart for shy, reactive, or even aggressive pups. I take the time to build trust at their pace, always with gentleness and respect. I love getting down on the floor to connect, observe, and honor each animal’s unique personality. I’m also trained and confident in administering medications, including injections, and I always prioritize your pet’s comfort and safety. Whether it’s a sunny stroll or quiet bonding time, I bring attentiveness, empathy, and a whole lot of love to every visit. As an independent designer, I have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate quality time to pet care throughout the day. I love balancing my creative work with time spent walking, playing, or simply being present with furry friends—it’s the most rewarding part of my routine. This flexibility means I can easily adapt to different pet needs, last-minute bookings, or specific time requests. In my home, I have a safe and cozy “catil” (cat patio) where my five rescue cats can enjoy fresh air, sunshine, and freedom. They have access to come and go through secure doors whenever they like. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I always start by checking harnesses, leashes, and collars to ensure safety. I give each furry friend the time and space they need to feel comfortable with me, moving at their pace to build trust and connection. My approach is calm, respectful, and centered on their comfort.

About: I’ve had over two decades of experience raising and caring for pups of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. I’m currently the proud owner of a 1-year-old chocolate lab named Pepper, who I’ve raised since she was just 8 weeks old. Pepper is full of energy and has her fair share of medicinal needs, so I’m well-versed in administering medications and managing high-energy dogs with structure and patience. I’ve cared for everything from senior dogs to puppies, including those with behavioral quirks like aggression or overexcitement. Whether your dog prefers solo time or loves a playmate, I can tailor the experience to meet their needs (Pepper can stay home if a one-on-one environment is preferred). I’m reliable, responsive, and happy to keep you updated with photos and messages as often as you'd like. I’m currently self-employed, which allows me the flexibility to adjust my schedule around your pet’s needs—whether that’s early morning walks, midday check-ins, or extended overnight stays. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment tailored to each dog’s specific needs. I have one dog at home, a playful and well-trained chocolate lab, so I always consider whether your dog would thrive better with a companion or in a solo setting. I’m highly attentive to routines, energy levels, and any special requirements like feeding schedules, medications, or crate training. In a client’s home, I follow your instructions closely to maintain consistency and make sure your dog feels secure while you’re away. My goal is always to provide the same love, structure, and attention you would.

About: I have had many dogs and I am an animal lover. I currently have one dog who is very friendly. I volunteered at the local animal shelter for a while and took dog walking classes. My daughter is studied animal science in college. I learn from her as well. I’m responsible and loving to all animals. My dogs have been very well cared for. I care for animals as if they are children and I am passionate about animal welfare. I am home all day so I have time to look after the animals. My house is very dog friendly and full of love. My yard is fully fenced and clean and full of dog toys. You will be very happy with my services and your dog will too! Hope to be a regular part of your dogs life. I look forward to the opportunity to serve you and your dogs needs. Also I want to add that I’m close to the airport so if you’re traveling from LAX I’m right on the way! It would be a great convenience! Please no dogs over 65lbs. I may occasionally go out for lunch or to get food. I spend lots of time playing and engaging with the pets here. Play time is supervised. Please set your drop off and pick up times within a one hour time frame. Be on time for drop offs and pick ups. Dogs should have a collar or harness on. Play time in my large backyard with music and toys. We do bubbles, water play for the select few who like water and lots of fetch for good exercise. I provide great pictures that can be cherished for years to come. My backyard is fully fenced.

“Jasmine was amazing! She took great care of our dogs during her drop-in visits—feeding them, walking them, and giving them plenty of love. She gave us real peace of mind while we were away for 8 days, and it was clear our pups were in great hands. She’s reliable, kind, and clearly loves animals. We’ll definitely be booking her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.”

“Quincy was terrific both as a house sitter and taking care of our two cats. He was very respectful in using the house and went out of his way to keep the cats happy and safe during our vacation. He was reliable about other tasks such as taking our trash cans to the curb and watering our vegetable garden. All in all, A+ for Quincy!”
