House Sitting West Carson

“Allen did a fantastic job taking care of Toby and housesitting while we were traveling. He was so gentle and caring with our pup. He was a conscientious and thoughtful house-sitter too, making sure to leave everything clean and tidy at the end. Great communication. Highly recommend.”

“Velvet is amazing! I rescued a pup off the streets yesterday and had an important appointment this morning. I booked Velvet late in the evening the night before, and she shifted her schedule to help me last minute and was wonderful with communication. Even more importantly, Velvet made this sweet rescue boy (again, fresh off the streets) feel calm, comfortable, and she even got him to snuggle with her! If she's this much of an dog whisperer with a fearful stray boy, I can only imagine the incredible care a beloved pet would receive. Thank you so incredibly much, Velvet! I can't tell you how much I appreciate you!”

“I’m a so happy we chose Ivy. She went over all our pet instructions and loved my fur babies . Ivy sent daily pictures and responded within minutes to any questions or concerns.. She went above and beyond taking care of my house in the process. I trust Ivy and look forward to another wonderful experience choosing Ivy. Thank you so much Ivy”

About: I’ve been officially pet sitting consistently since 2024 and have built my client base through word-of-mouth referrals and repeat bookings. I grew up with dogs but through petsitting, have experience caring for dogs, cats, birds, tortoises, betta fish, shrimp, and chameleons. Most of my experience is with overnight stays ranging from weekend trips to 1–2 week vacations. I’m detail-oriented, adaptable, and take pride in following care instructions closely while keeping owners updated with photos and messages throughout their trip. As a powerlifter and active person, I’m comfortable with both short and long walks and can keep up with high-energy & strong dogs. I work in-office during weekdays but am available mornings, evenings, overnights, and am fully flexible on weekends. My goal is simple: to make sure your pets feel safe and comfortable while giving you peace of mind when you’re away. I work in an office Monday through Friday, so I'm most flexible on weekends. For pets that are comfortable being home during the workday, I'm available for feeding, bathroom, and walks before work, in the evenings, overnight, and throughout the weekend. I am detail-oriented, adaptable, and take pride in following care instructions closely so pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I’m flexible to either board your pet in my home, stay at your home whether for drop in visits or overnight stays, whatever you and your pet feel works best for their comfort. Prior to the stay, (my home or yours), we will go over your pet’s routine and your expectations to make sure this is a good fit before moving forward.

About: Most of my pets have been dogs and some of them have been older than a year or two months old, currently open to learn more. Currently looking for a part-time and love dogs. I have been taking care of dogs since I was in elementary school and currently have one. I live in a small apartment and get to walk her around the city and usually walk her two times per day during the weekends

“JoAnne is such a wonderful dog sitter. Our dog, Callie, loves her and is very comfortable with her. All the photos and updates were reassuring. We will try to book JoAnne for any future dog sitting needs! She is the best!”

“Natalie was terrific. Responsive when I first reached out, sent lots of photos and updates and left the house even cleaner than she found it! I really hope she stays in the area so she can housesit again.”

“Elaine is absolutely AMAZING!!! We feel so lucky to have found her! ALL of our fur babies LOVED, LOVED, LOVED her! We had such peace of mind knowing that they were being so well-cared for and so loved. She was so attentive to each of them and their specific needs/personalities. She was very thorough and on point with all of the care notes we left. It was a seamless transition for our pets, which makes it less stressful for them that we are gone, and less stressful for us knowing that they are so happy. She is very communicative AND she takes and sends great photos! WE LOVE HER and will DEFINITELY book her again!”

About: As a pet owner myself, I understand that leaving your pet can be difficult. I am here to ease your mind with detail and care. I am currently studying and working remotely so I just have some set hours of work I need to do, but I can still keep an eye on your pets I can and will follow any and all instructions for your pets and home. I am responsible and respectful while also very caring towards your pets.

“Sami has always been incredible. During her stay my teddy was being a bit of a pain. But she was patient, caring and empathetic to his needs. She is a 5 star star for sure.”

Brandon P.

“Jennifer took such great care of our dog Benson and our house while we were on vacation. We got lots of updates and photos throughout the weekend and could tell he was in great hands. We will definitely book Jennifer again in the future for housesitting!”

About: Hi, my name is Claire. I am a second generation, certified dog groomer. I managed my family-owned dog grooming business in the San Fernando Valley for 15 years before moving to the South Bay. Animal care is part of my genetic makeup. I am currently completing a double major at CSULB. My classes are stimulating, but as a lifelong animal lover I am missing my fur angels so much. I feel Rover gives me the freedom to make some new fur friends while I continue to study. Please reach out if you have any questions regarding my animal care expertise, I have been professionally handling canines in a multitude of capacities most of my life and have found dialogue is the best way to clarify your fur angel's necessities. Thank you for reading. Claire This summer I am currently volunteering once a week via zoom. Making this time ideal for me to spend some time with your fur angels. I have a fenced yard. I am also a very active person. My husband and I love to go for a walks the only thing that makes my daily walking better is having a furry companion accompany us.

About: From a past dog(Schnauzer) owner to a current cat(orange 🐱) owner, my experiences are personal. This is my first account as a formal doggie walker, I’m so excited! What better way to spend my day 🌟 I’m currently an owner of two businesses, Airbnb and vending machine. Therefore, my schedule is quite open. I’d love to spend my free time with awesome dogs🥰 *If* I offer service(s) at my home I have a fenced-in backyard with grass. The pet will be able to go to the restroom when needed. In the Clients’ home, I’d like to match the Clients’ routine as best as possible. I have a specific park I do my own walks at, it would be nice to have that same routine walking with my Clients’ dog(s).

About: I have taken care of a variety of animals since I was a young kid and have had a dog virtually my entire life, sometimes a few dogs at once and many cats too. I have been a fish, dog, and cat parent for about thirty years or more of my adult life and ongoing. Recently completed a twelve-week obedience training course with our German Shepherd. Plenty of work to do. We also have done pet sitting for friends, as they have also done for us over the many years. We have cared for many a senior dog or cat, as they have been ours. We have always had and cared for animals through their entire life cycle. Before Rover dog care and dog walking of other peoples pets, aside from friends pets was not something we had done as a business, but taking care of animals, especially dogs is an activity I have been doing my entire life, every day. We walk our own dog a couple of times daily. I have owned and cared for many dogs. I currently own a two year old White German Shepherd, which is very socialized. He is a silly one. I have some experience in training, in as much as myself and my GSD went through twelve weeks of obedience classes through PetSmart to help get him setup for success. My primary business is in IT. I work from home almost every day. I have an independent IT consulting company, working for myself since 2003, to date. A very flexible schedule. However, the business has been slow and I am looking for something to supplement my income. Another IT job would likely be treated as a conflict, and I already do that work anyway. This type of gig seems perfect, flexible schedule and doing something I have always wanted to do. Right now, I have the time. We will discuss shifts; I may be good to help during a variety of times. I love dogs, all animals really. We are very willing to sit for some dogs in our own home or stop in to check on, walk and feed them, etc. I have a neighbor that does the same thing as a “side hustle” (for Rover) and they love it. When I am out walking my dog, I often run into them walking their dog tenants that they are sitting while owners are away. I have lived in the Southbay since 1988 and love it here. I live in a two-story house on the edge of old Torrance and Harbor City. I look forward to our future contact and making some new furry friends. Thanks so much for your consideration. I have a fenced yard and one dog, a white German Shepherd that is still enjoying late stage puppy hood :-) at two years old. Loves his toys, well socialized and really loves playing with other dogs. He is good company for another dog and someday soon we may be getting another, so he always has a friend. Right now we have just one. We also have one Maine Coon cat (16yr), that generally stays out of site around new dogs. Our one cat has been living with dogs most of his life. We will create separation of animals if it is necessary. If you provide it and it is needed, we will crate your dog, otherwise we are happy to let them always be part of the home while staying with us. The home is safe and secure with plenty of space inside and outside. We are in an enclosed subdivision with safe residential streets for walks. We have dedicated space where our dog and cat eat separately, we can also set up feeding so your pet can eat alone if necessary. We can adjust access to food, so nobody (including our dog) has any issues. Dog walking is done regularly for our GSD and we are happy to take your pet along to explore the neighborhood.

“Great updates and always flexible!!!”

About: My goal is to make sure your pet feels loved & cared for. I also want you to feel at total ease if you need to leave them and allow me to care for them. I know what it’s like to want the best for your pet. I’m a 4th grade teacher starting my second year teaching! My availabilities are generally weekends throughout the day and weekdays after 4/4:30. Pet care is an important part of my routine with my 12 year old Maltipoo. We go on night walks, quick morning strolls & if I’m ever off for the day, we love to go on fun, adventurous car rides. My dog, Pogo, always stays with one of my parents if I’m at work or away. Due to all of our schedules, he is never alone, so he is taken to the bathroom regularly. I like to keep him active & engage with him, allowing him to have the fullest enjoyment. That said, I carry the same actions when pet sitting. They receive full attention from me, because I know how crucial it is for pets to feel loved, especially when their pet parent is away.

“When I say, Haylee is amazing. I truly mean it. She was so informative and considerate of letting me know what was going on while she was cat sitting. And I love that she sent me pictures during the stay. I will definitely be booking her again in the future.”

About: I’ve spent over a decade in hospitality and operations, running shifts at places like Starbucks and a local beer lab, which basically means I’m used to juggling a hundred things at once while staying calm, warm, and on schedule. Turns out that’s great training for dog care too: reading personalities fast, sticking to routines, and making sure everyone (two legs or four) feels comfortable in a new environment. I’ve got a dog of my own, so I know the drill: the 6am zoomies, the separation anxiety whining, the food that “definitely doesn’t cause gas.” Whether your pup is a couch potato, a chaos gremlin, or somewhere in between, I’ll treat them like they’re already part of the household. Ten-plus years in hospitality means I’m used to following exact protocols and communicating clearly, and I apply that same discipline to pet care. Safety and consistency come first, in my home or yours. I keep a calm, predictable environment because cats do best with routine, so I stick to feeding times, litter maintenance, and any specific instructions you give me exactly as written, no improvising.

“She is amazing!! Ideal dog sitter I wish I could have her every time I’m out of town!!”
