About: Hi my name is Destiny, I have had cats and dogs my entire life and all I can say is I will do anything to protect my animal. I have never been a sitter or walker but personally I have with my own and I can guarantee they have a blast! I try to help out and take care of your animals because they can be a handful sometimes when pet owners need to travel. I like to foster dogs as well when i have the opportunity to help a little one in need. I volunteer a lot in animal shelters and help take them on days out when possible.

About: I've been caring for dogs since I was 10, looking after my own pets and neighbor's dog when they're out of town. I understand the importance of companionship and make it my mission to ensure your furry friends feel loved and never alone. Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Whether it be my own or a neighbor's, l've always gone above and beyond to ensure that the animal is well taken care of. I will make sure your dog gets the specific attention and care that they need, and they have an enjoyable experience. This work goes far beyond simply watching dogs, it’s about providing consistent, attentive, and trustworthy care to dogs who are an important part of your family. I take pride in being reliable, patient, and detail oriented, making sure each dog feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I put into every visit. I treat every dog as if they were my own, pay close attention to their individual needs, and maintain clear, consistent communication with owners for peace of mind. Sparky is the reason behind it all. He showed me a love I can’t even fully put into words, loyal, pure, and unconditional. He wasn’t just my dog, he was my comfort, my routine, and a piece of my heart. Losing him was one of the hardest things I’ve ever gone through, and there are still moments I feel that emptiness so deeply. But at the same time, he gave my life so much meaning and showed me exactly the kind of care and love every dog deserves. Because of Sparky, I’m more patient, more understanding, and more intentional with every dog I care for. I know how much they mean to you, because I know what it feels like to love a dog with your whole heart. A part of him lives on in everything I do, in every walk, every cuddle, and every moment I spend making sure your babies feel safe and loved. I am a dedicated dog sitter with a flexible schedule and reliable transportation, allowing me to offer drop in appointments on any day that works best for you.

I will also send you lots of pictures and videos throughout the stay or towards the end of the visit(s) For safety, I also ask that you provide emergency contact details and your preferred veterinarian's information.
“Ashanti is reliable and very responsive. She took time to ask questions about Ruby prior to the walk and even checked in the morning of to confirm. Ashanti arrived and left without issue, sent a pic and reported details of the walk. I look forward to booking her again!”

“Evelyn is so kind and sweet to my pup! She handles well and seems to know a lot about dogs and their needs, which gives me a lot of confidence. Very communicative and overall good person to rely on. Will continue to rebook!”

About: I have the most experience pet sitting cats, dogs, and rabbits, and I am looking for even more experience with them! I enjoy looking after other people’s pets and get along great with them despite not having any of my own! I am full time college student but my schedule is still clear enough to look after pets :) I am based in Hawthorne Ca and I’m most familiar with the South Bay! I am food handler certified. I am a very cautious and patient person around other people's beloved animals. I try my best to provide a space where they are safe and comfortable with me.
About: I've grown up with dogs and cats in my life on and off since I was born. I've helped foster newborn kittens to prepare them for adoption and I've also had big reactive dogs so I'm familiar with how to be gentle as well as how to be alert and proactive. I'm currently only working Thursdays and Fridays. I have plenty of free time to help with your pets. I can also do meet ups prior to services. I'm a huge animal lover. So much so I've been vegan for nearly 10 years. I've always been good with animals. I've probably met hundreds of dogs and cats over my life working as a residential landscaper. I've always made it my priority to take my time with other peoples pets to make them feel as safe as possible. I'm excited to meet your furry family and help in any way I can!
About: I know pets need love, care and to be happy. I work in a company with my mother that grooms pets, both dogs and cats. Any time. If you need me, let me know. I wanted to care for pets in a different way for a bit of a change. Keep them inside the house for more safety, if outside they'd constantly be under my supervision (and control if walking). And give them their attention.
About: Proud pet parent to Chloe, my sweet Maltese Poodle who loves having furry friends over for sleepovers! 🐾 When your pet stays with us, they’ll be temporarily adopted into our family and treated with the same love, care, and attention we give our own. I work short 4–5 hour shifts with a flexible schedule and the option to work from home, which allows me to be present and attentive. I’m also available to provide drop-in visits as needed to accommodate your pet’s routine. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I work just 4–5 hours a day in the office with the flexibility to work from home when needed, which allows me to plan my schedule around the pets in my care When caring for dogs and cats in my home, I provide a safe, comfortable, and structured environment tailored to their individual needs. I have a fully fenced yard with a grassy area and plenty of space for dogs to explore and enjoy a nice run. All outdoor time is closely supervised to ensure safety while allowing them to burn off energy and have fun. For cats, I create a calm indoor environment with cozy resting areas, enrichment activities, and plenty of one-on-one attention. My goal is to make both dogs and cats feel secure, relaxed, and right at home while they’re in my care. 🐾
About: I have experience with Rottweilers, Cane Corso, and French Bulldogs. I rescued my frenchie about 4 years ago when he was a 1 year old. He has given me experience in bathroom cleanup, vet visits, grooming, playtime, feeding, etc. I also have some experience with fostering a second dog while living with him. I am currently a full time student with extra time but not enough for a full time job. Caring for pets sounds like a fulfilling job for me. I have a genuine love for all pets and care for them all equally. I have experience with aqua life, reptiles, birds, rabbits, turtles, cats, and of course dogs.
West Athens dog parents share their Rover experiences
My 5 year old doodle has been walking with Jailene for over a week now. We decided our pup needed more midday exercise than we could provide, so Jailene swooped right in to come on time everyday: friendly, confident, professional, and no frills. My dog even looks cool walking with her! They get an uphill mile in each weekday for 30 mins and our pup comes back worked, happy, and relaxed. It's been very easy to communicate with Jailene and we trust that our dog is in good hands.

I am a repeat customer for Monique. She was very flexible with my schedule and she really paid extra attention to Pepper. She gave me updates on how she was doing that were straightforward and honest. This helped me to share some things that would continue to improve the time she spends with Pepper. I plan to use Monique again. She really cares.

I couldn’t be happier with Emily. She’s reliable, friendly, and respectful to my German Shepard puppy. I really appreciate the updates and photos during the walk—it gives me peace of mind knowing my dog is in such good hands. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker!
