“Ximena is a wonderful dog walker for my pup Pippa. I need someone to come several times a week and Ximena is always very punctual and gets along really well with Pippa. I’m so glad to have someone local and reliable and flexible to help care for my dog when work or social commitments keep me away from home. Thank you Ximena!”
“Loralie was awesome and helped me out last minute to walk my dogs! She took them out separately so they can each get some good exercise in and it was a great idea. They’re still napping!! ?? I’ll definitely use her services again in the future. Thanks Loralie!!”
“Tina was wonderfully kind and patient with my pup Toshi this week. She has a very good reputation among my peers, and I felt comfortable with Toshi in her expert care. I was treated to detailed attention to Toshi and to her environment during walks with notes and support. Thank you so much Tina! Looking forward to future visits!”
About: Hi, I'm Abby! I've been an animal lover my whole life, and I've been taking care of pets in various settings (in-home, daycare, boarding, dog-walking) for more than ten years. I specialize in multiple-pet households, but whether you have one pet or five, rest assured they'll each receive the best care possible. I'm extremely detailed (I love a comprehensive info sheet!), and I ask the right questions up front, so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pets are in good hands. I work from home with a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time and energy to devote to your pets. I prefer to work weekdays, Monday-Friday, but I am also available for longer in-home stays over the weekend with enough notice. I take your pet's health and safety very seriously, which is why I make sure I understand not only what their immediate needs are (food, water, exercise, enrichment), but also what potential stressors might be (loud noises, other animals, etc.). I gather as much information as I can up front, so I can anticipate your pet's needs as they arise. Knowing where the cleaning materials, trash, emergency numbers, and security items (crate, leash, carrier) are in your home gives ME peace of mind and makes my job that much easier. Once I have all the info I need, while you're gone, I can check back in with you as much or as little as you prefer -- I'm happy to send updates throughout the day, or I'm just as happy to take care of things myself and provide a summary when you return. Either way, I make sure both you and your pet(s) enjoy your time away!
“April was 100% amazing. 1st she showed up at a quick pace after having my other arrangement fall through- whirling hours she was walking my dog! Then she followed the scheduled and showed up consistently. She proved to be trustworthy and committed. I would recommend to anyone looking for dog walker or sitter. Thanks again April. I will book again. My dog and I are so grateful you came through.”
“Amazing!! So so sweet, took care of Luna like she was her own. Trust completely to take care of my girl. Always kept me in the loop if anything happened and sent pictures and videos. 100% recommend :)”
About: Hi! My name is Helen, and I recently moved from France to beautiful Long Beach. I've been passionate about dogs my whole life, I've had several of my own, and I’ve always been the go-to pet sitter for my friends and family. Ask anyone who knows me: dogs and I just click! I’m currently not working, which means I have lots of availability and flexibility, especially on weekdays from 8 AM to 7 PM. Need a last-minute walk or a schedule change? I’ve got you covered. I live in a dog-friendly community in Downtown Long Beach, with everything your pup could dream of: 🐶 A quiet, private dog park right inside the building 🌳 Several nearby parks and outdoor spaces 🧼 An on-site dog grooming station 🦴 Treats always on hand 🏖️ And the beach is just a few minutes’ walk away! Whether your dog loves calm strolls, playful outings, or just needs some TLC while you're away, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and happy. Feel free to reach out, I’d love to meet you and your pup!
About: I’ve worked in the animal care field for over 16 years including veterinary hospitals, animal rescue, fostering (from chihuahuas to pit bulls), wildlife rehab, spay/neuter clinics, etc. I’m a certified positive dog trainer through Victoria Stilwell Academy, and am always pursuing educational opportunities with animals. I recently went back to school to finish my vet school prerequisites, and submitted my application in September! I have experience taking care of animals with a variety of special medical and behavioral needs. My own pack includes Bruce (senior poodle mix), Judith (2 y/o pit bull), and Hershel (Maine coon mix) - all are rescues! I was born and raised in the South Bay. In addition to animals, my interests include music, The Walking Dead, and Disneyland, and I’ve been vegan since 2010. 🥕 I am currently taking college classes and pet sitting/dog walking daily. I will have more openings in my schedule over winter break to help with your holiday needs. I’ve provided pet sitting services in clients’ homes for over 13 years. Safety of your pets and property is my top priority, and I will keep you in the loop with regular updates.
“Denise was excellent! Ace & Nala looked like they had a blast on their walk. She was easy to communicate with. Showed up on time. I will definitely be using Denise again when I go out of town!”
“Stephen greatly helped me out by walking my dogs on very short notice after I had a sudden complication from my leg surgery and could not walk them myself. He was incredibly accommodating! Stephen was professional, friendly, and dependable. My dogs got along well with him and it was clear he is a dog lover by nature and they enjoyed their time with him! I would highly recommend his services and would definitely hire him again. Thank you so much Stephen!”
About: I have been around dogs my whole life and have sat for friends, family and strangers! I grew up with dogs and would love to help out in any way possible! I am currently working online and have plenty of free time to walk, sit or just hangout with dogs! I would love to no only get exercise for them but for myself as well! I am keen to making other animals in my environment feel like they are at home! I have a pet loving significant other as well that would be more than happy to have a dog around!
About: What sets me apart from other sitters? Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’ve had 3 dogs and a cat of my own, and I know how deeply we can love our pets — they are truly family. For over 6 years, I volunteered at animal shelters in Ukraine, helping care for abandoned dogs and cats. When the war started, I worked even harder — finding homes for animals, supporting adoptions, and doing it all from the heart, without asking anything in return. I treat every animal like my own — with patience, love, and respect. Whether it's a playful puppy or a senior dog who needs extra care, I’m here to make them feel safe, happy, and loved. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life. I truly enjoy spending time with animals — walking, playing, feeding, or just keeping them company. My schedule is flexible, so I can easily make time for your pet’s needs, whether it’s a regular walk or daily check-in. Caring for animals brings me joy, and I treat it as a meaningful responsibility, not just a job. I always prioritize the pet’s comfort, safety, and routine. In a client’s home, I follow their instructions carefully — feeding schedules, favorite toys, walking routes, and any special needs. I try to keep the environment as calm and familiar as possible. If I care for pets in my own home, I make sure they have a clean, cozy space, plenty of attention, and a stress-free atmosphere. I treat every pet like family — with love, patience, and respect.

“I recently had the pleasure of booking a dog walker through Rover for my dogs , and I must say, the experience exceeded all my expectations. Here's why I highly recommend Jessica’s :Professionalism and Reliability: she was punctual, dependable, and incredibly professional from our first interaction. It was clear that they take their role seriously and with the utmost responsibility.Communication: Excellent communication before, during, and after each walk. She provided updates and photos, which were greatly appreciated and reassured me that my dog was in good hands.”
About: My father was a compassionate man who taught me the love for animals, he always picked up sick animals on the street, he healed them and found them a home at home we grew up with dogs cats and birds I had my Labrador for 10 years and I also took care of other animals dogs and cats in my family I work part time, so I can take care of animals during some days of the week and some nights, I always enjoy my time with the petsBy I live in an apartment, but it is a safe place for your pet and I can walk your pet around the neighborhood and take them to play and go to the bathroom
About: I'm well-versed in litterboxes, cleaning up messes and throw up, interacting with hyper active animals until they wear themselves out, and gaining the trust of skittish animals. I work with kids, I find pets are much easier. I'm a full time student at UCSC and a runner which is perfect because I can study while petting a cat or take your hyperactive dog for a fun run. I'm also a lifeguard during the summers so I'm well versed with the beach and the sea and for the dogs who like to swim or paddleboard, I can show them an amazing day. I make sure the home is as clean if not cleaner than when I got there. I make sure to gain a pets trust before anything else, prioritizing eye contact and belly rubs. I'm very adaptable and can work with older and young, hyper animals.

“Helen did a wonderful job taking care of my dog for 2 weeks while I was away on the trip. She took care of him at my place. She sent me updates with pictures and videos that made me so happy to see that Truffle is having a great time while under her care. Thank you so much!”
Lisa G.
“I rarely take vacations because of my two big dogs and their somewhat special needs situations. I have always had close relatives stay at my house when I am gone but this time, no one was available. I immediately scoured Yelp for Help! The Vegan Petsitter jumped out at me because we share similar dietary views. After my dogs and I met with Lisa, I knew she is a true animal lover. She run her own small rescue and definitely have experience working with different kinds of animals. My two dogs can sometimes be dog aggressive when provoked, so I made sure Lisa understood that very important piece of information. During my trip, she did encounter one situation but she handled it like a true professional and I couldn't have done it better myself. (***side note - always keep your dogs on a leash*** Its the LAW!). She also updated with cute pictures and their general well beings while you are gone. Its great knowing someone is taking great care of your fur kids when you are gone from home. Thanks again Lisa for taking such good care of my babies! We will definitely keep in touch!”

While going away for a few days, I was nervous to find the right person to care for my dog, but luckily, I came across Christiana, who is reliable and experienced.

After coming back from my trip, I was welcomed to an orderly and clean home with a happy dog. I could not recommend Christiana enough!”
