“Juliana took such great care of Dexter and sent us so many wonderful pictures. Dexter looked very happy during his stay with Juliana. We highly recommend her and will be booking her again in the future!”
“Pissamas was great! She took care of my two pups as if they were her own. They were very comfortable with Pissamas too. They especially had a great time playing in her backyard garden. The next time I’m in town, I will surly book with Pissamas again!”
“Cosmo did really well with Aadya! I got several updates throughout his stay and he always looked so comfy and happy in each photo. Appreciate Aadya taking good carr of my pup. I highly recommend.”
“Wow, what a fantastic experience! Sharry is an incredible host and is everything you'd want in a dog host. She was a great communicator, sent tons of pics and videos, was very attentive to my dogs, brushed them, and they were so happy and tired when we picked them up!”
“Son, her husband and children did a wonderful job looking after PENNY. As soon as I met the family, I knew she was in good hands. They gave her an immense amount of love and attention. She went on adventures with them throughout the Bay Area and coastal regions. She had so much fun that it was like sending a 12 year old to summer camp! I would highly recommend Son and her family to take care of your little dog or a big dog when the time comes. They are also my friends now.”
“This was our third time dropping off Ruby at Diana’s. Once we arrived she got so excited to be at Diana’s that she didn’t even care when we said goodbye. It broke my heart but she was happy!”
“Miss Kimberly was awesome. Took great care of my little dude, sent pics of him nightly, and was very accommodating to my drop off/pick up needs. Will absolutely choose her again.”
“This is the 2nd time we've left Annie with Anusha. This time for nearly 2 weeks. Anusha and her family treat Annie as her own. Annie comes back to us very happy, well-fed and loved. Anusha even cleans Annie's eyes so there is no build-up. We could not be more grateful for the care she provides to Annie when we're away.”
“Olga and Boris took such great care of my dog while I was away. I honestly can’t find enough words to thank them for how well they cared for him. It was clear that they followed all the instructions I gave them, and my dog looked so happy, comfortable, and well taken care of when I picked him up. You could also tell that he really grew attached to them, and that they grew attached to him as well. That truly says a lot about what wonderful and caring people they are. I’m so grateful I found them, and I would absolutely use their services again. They did an amazing job, and I highly recommend Olga and Boris!”
“We were very nervous to leave the love of our lives, our pup Cocoa, with a sitter while we planned for a big trip. Cocoa is a very smart yet gentle and loving. She has anxiety in unfamiliar surroundings. The experience with Sophia however overturned all our worries about leaving Cocoa with a stranger. Sophia is incredible and our pup had the best time at her place. She took care of every minute detail, sent us updates and also went out of her way to ensure Cocoa does not miss her family. We are grateful for Sophia and her family’s efforts in keeping Cocoa safe and energized.”
“Sofiya treated Juju like one of her own. Her calm demeanor was exactly what he needed. I received photos and updates everyday and he always looked so happy. Would definitely book her again if we ever needed someone for Juju.”
“Joshua did a wonderful job taking care of my mini Goldendoodle for nearly 5 days! It was the first time I had left my puppy with someone, and Joshua was very patient and gave Raja such attentive care! We appreciated the regular updates throughout the stay. I highly recommend Joshua and look forward to booking future stays for Raja!”
“As usual, Jacqueline did a WONDERFUL job watching my dog. She worked with the dogs health issues and provided fantastic care and company while I was away. I’d definitely use her again as this was already a repeat booking.”
“Our senior whippet stayed with Qi (wonderful dog sitter) for over a week, and the experience was exceptional. We received frequent updates and photos, which gave us total peace of mind and let us see how relaxed and happy he was. It was clear he was being cared for with genuine affection, patience, and attention to his needs as an older pup. We always felt he was safe, comfortable, and treated like family. We couldn’t be more grateful and highly recommend their services.”
“Karri, Michael and Hank were incredible! They treated my dog like a member of their family. The daily pictures and updates reassured me that my dog was having a great time. Karri and Michael really pay attention to the details and went above and beyond to make both me and my dog feel comfortable. My family and I ran into some travel delays and they were so wonderful and accommodating, they watched my dog an extra night without question. Their dog Hank is my dog's new best friend! Thank you guys so much!”
“I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for Mundo! He’s a very active border collie who needs a lot of exercise, attention, and mental engagement, and they exceeded every expectation. What impressed me most was how thoughtful and attentive Farbod and his wife were. They took the time to ask about his routines and anxiety beforehand, and during the July 4th fireworks they were incredibly patient and comforting when he got nervous. Knowing they were paying such close attention to how he was feeling gave me so much peace of mind. They also sent the best daily updates: lots of detailed messages, tons of photos, and little stories about what Mundo did each day. It was obvious they really got to know him and genuinely cared about making sure he was happy and comfortable. I looked forward to every update! Mundo came home happy, relaxed, and clearly very well loved. It’s not easy finding someone I’d trust with him, but I would book with them again in a heartbeat. They are absolutely fantastic, and I hope they get all the bookings they deserve. Thank you again so so much for taking such amazing care of my boy! ❤️”
“Jade and Josue took amazing care of our precious girls. They were great about sending daily updates and photos. I could not have been more comfortable during our vacation knowing how much fun they were having.”
“Nikhila is absolutely! Her family was able to watch Nelo on short notice and leading up to the stay had great communication. The great communication continued throughout the stay with updates that varied between messages, photos, and videos. They truly treated Nelo like their own and you cannot ask for more when leaving your pet for days on end. You can tell he had a great time as he was sad to leave. I’m so lucky to have found someone I trust 100% with my pup and I recommend Nikhila to all!”

Jung took take of our pooch just like her own. He was in great spirits when picked him back up. Jung sent pictures and updates regularly and also flexible with schedules and accommodating last minute changes. I highly recommend Jung and will definitely use her services next time we need dog sitting! Thank you Jung!
Mike and Karri took such great care of Bentley - in fact it was amazing! We could tell instantly how much they genuinely cared for him and how much fun he had with them. Karri took a lot of time understanding Bentleys routine and how he would integrate into their home and that was so appreciated. It’s such a comfort knowing Bentley was in great hands while we were on vacation. THANK YOU!!
Megha and Avi took wonderful care of our Daisy while we were traveling. Daisy is a little anxious, and it was clear that they helped her feel relaxed, comfortable, and truly “at home.” The many beautiful daily photos and updates gave us peace of mind and allowed us to see that Daisy was safe, happy, and being cared for as part of their family. We’re especially thankful that their dog, Barfi, is so mellow and easily sharing his space —Daisy was able to relax around him and they even enjoyed two walks a day together, including a little jogging! Megha and Avi were 100% responsive, flexible, and conscientious about Daisy’s individual needs. She came home to us happy, relaxed, and sporting an adorable new bandana—how sweet! We highly recommend Megha and Avi to anyone looking for loving, attentive, and trustworthy pet sitters!
Julia was amazing and so attentive! I could tell my big girl Burnzi was happy with her. She was great at detailed communication, and I was so glad to see Burnzi was getting lots of active time. This was our first time leaving her for an extended period. Julia made it easy to feel comfortable knowing that our pup was in good hands.
If I could give a higher rating than five stars, I would. I had a previous booking when I was out of town, however midtrip, the sitter cancelled the booking. As I was scrambling and stressed on the other side of the country, I came across Sophia’s profile and I contacted her for help and a last-minute booking. Sophia really went above and beyond to ensure that Junie was safe, calm, exercised, and have all the companionship she needs. Having my senior dog stay with Sophia and her family gave me such peace of mind for the remainder of the trip. Sophia’s updates were the perfect mix of information and pictures to be at ease while I was away. My heart is so full and grateful at the care that they took with Junie. They truly are genuinely good people who have a heart of gold when it comes to the pets under their care. I wouldn’t hesitate to rebook in the future!
AMAZING! I have a little 16 year old man who’s deaf and mostly blind, to say I worry when go out of town is an understatement. Scarleth and her brother watched him for the very first time, treated him like their own, made sure he got all his various meds throughout the day, and sent me multiple updates via photos & videos. They truly put this helicopter momma at ease. Thank YOU again for EVERYTHING 💛
Elizabeth, Emmanuel and family have been wonderful. We had a flight delay of 6+ hours and it was no problem - they were super flexible and hung on to Charlie for a late pickup. He always comes home balanced and happy. We’ve left our dog with them many times already, and would absolutely do it again.
Pallavi took wonderful care of our dog, Vega, for 10 days while we were away, and I couldn't be more grateful. Leaving your pet is always stressful, but Pallavi completely put our minds at ease with daily updates and pictures. It was so clear that Vega was having a blast and felt right at home. Pallavi and her family are genuinely kind, welcoming, and natural animal lovers who treated Vega like one of their own. I wholeheartedly recommend her and would not hesitate to book again!
We left Brownie with Emilie for the second time, and she was wonderful. We chose her because our dog happily walks right into her house, so we know he feels comfortable and safe there. Emilie takes excellent care of him, and he came back home happy and healthy. We highly recommend her!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Alamitos home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Alamitos.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Alamitos sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in CA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
