“Juliana kept us informed and sent us pics of our pup on a daily basis. We loved she walked him with other dogs every day, which he enjoys and loves. He was relaxed and happy when we picked him up and you could tell he's been receiving amazing care. I will for sure book again with Juliana in the future !”

“Pissamas took wonderful care of our senior dog. It’s clear she has lots of experience with dogs. She gets to know your dog so she can provide the best care and make them comfortable!”
“I was lucky to find Michelle and Michael. My dog is young golden retriever with high energy. Michelle and Michael gave my dog plenty of cuddles and attention. They gave my dog long walk and played fetch with him. Michelle sent me updates frequently that helped relieve my separation anxiety. I couldn't be happier to have my dog stay with Michelle and Michael, who are really nice and caring people.”
“It was my dog’s first time boarding, so he started anxious. But Sofiya took care of him wonderfully, I think he left with good memory!! Also, thank you for pictures of Sammy with big smile 😊”
“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.”
“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.”
“Ginger had a great time staying at Lyan’s place! She was comfortable and welcomed in their home. They even allowed her on their bed. And the best part of all is that Lyan’s dog Dexter is super sweet and friendly. The host took good care of Ginger and kept in mind her needs such as feeding schedule and wearing cone instructions. She sent lots of pictures too which we love. We will definitely contact them in the future for pet sitting!”
“Thank you Ashley & David 😊 Leia spend last weekend with them. She sent me lots of photos and updates how she’s doing and to good care of her. She also had an adventure to Ashley’s workplace 🚙🎉 Leia was smiling in all the photos 😆See you next time soon !”
“Melissa and Vaughan tool wonderful care of our 10-month-old pup for our first weekend away. From our first communication to our pick up at the end of Birdie's stay, we were so impressed and grateful for the warm and thorough care they provided. The communication very easy, and they offered a meet-and-greet in advance, which was super helpful. They asked questions about her routines and preferences with attention to detail that made us feel Birdie would be in good hands. They sent photos during her stay which were so fun to see! We highly recommend Melissa and Vaughan! Thank you so much for taking such good care of our girl! We are grateful for your care!”

“I could not be happier with Jason and the way he looked after my dog, Wallace. Wallace had Jason's full attention during the stay and the two of them got along perfectly. Jason's experience with dog's was clear during our meet and greet so I had zero worries going into our planned week long boarding. My trip was so much better since I was confident my dog was happy and well taken care of. I highly recommend Jason.”
“Yixin took great care of our pup! Communication was clear and prompt, and I loved that she reached out whenever she needed clarification on anything. Our dog became fast friends with her dog Nemo, who was hospitable enough to generously surrender his own dog bed to our spoiled old boy. We'd happily trust her to watch our dog again in the future!”
“Lanie and her family took great care of our dogs while we were away. Her communication is excellent. She sent frequent updates and pictures. My dogs came home healthy and happy from their week-long stay with Lanie. Highly recommend!”

wow did I get lucky finding Juliana all I could say is I am so so lucky to have found her she was everything I'd hoped for and then some I was having a very serious procedure and was in the hospital for 9 days but I didn't know how long I was going to be there and she was there every step of the way she brought my service dog in to see me almost everyday it was way more than I could have ever expected if you can grab a minute with her for your pet you are lucky don't pass this up she is the best pet sitter I've ever found
Ming & Ling were wonderful! They sent lots of photo updates throughout the stay, which we really appreciated. Waffle had such a great time at their home and got along so well with Woosah. We're so grateful they took such good care of our little puppy, it was his first time being boarded and they made us feel completely at ease. We'd love to book with them again!
Julia is wonderful! She has taken care of our dog multiple times now- ranging from short weekend trips to full weeks. Our dog is always excited to see her and settles right in every time. Julia is extremely reliable with care routines, medication, and specialized diets. On our last trip, our dog was recovering from an allergic reaction, and Julia handled all her meds and feeding instructions perfectly. She also sends regular detailed updates with lots of photos. We highly recommend her!
Diana was the perfect person to leave Spanky with. I truly felt that she cared about him and understood exactly what he needed. She sent us adorable photos and daily updates, which we really appreciated. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Thank you so much, Diana, for taking such wonderful care of Spanky!
If Neelix could talk, he would say he had the best time ever. He went on multiple walks, had many fun times chasing his ball, and many memories sitting on the bench in the greenbelt. He always got his meals on time, and was treated with many samples of fresh fruit and vegetables. Farbod gave daily updates accompanied with photos so we could see how Neelix went from a bit uncertain when we left him to having a great time. The home is in a quiet neighborhood with walking paths that are great for short walks in between longer excursions. It was wonderful being away and knowing Neelix was having as much fun as we were. I never once felt uncertain that Neelix was well looked after.
Pepper had a great time with Karri and Mike, and Hank! She came home relaxed and happy after over a week in their care. They were so flexible with our flight delays and Pepper’s last minute ear infection. It was such a relief to have Pepper well taken care of while we had to be away. Thanks!! And I would not hesitate to have Pepper return, or to recommend this family to dog sit for others.
Derek is wondrrful! He took care of my dog so well! Dereck’s house is spacious , clean. He also have a very safe big backyard , which is perfect for my dog to play and explore . Dereck sends pictures regularly. I would recommend Derek to all the dog parents . I will continue boarding my dog with Derek .
Aadya and Harsh carefully took note of specifications we had for the care of our dear pup, Arnie. The twice-daily photo/message updates and timely responsive messages gave us peace of mind while away. Their calm and caring demeanor rubbed off on Arnie, making his transition back home feel very relaxed and natural.
Sophia was absolutely wonderful with Poppy! She took such great care of her and was especially thoughtful and attentive given Poppy’s paw injury. I really appreciated knowing that she was in such good hands and that Sophia was careful to keep her activities calm and gentle while she healed. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Poppy was being cared for with so much love and attention. Sophia was also great at keeping me updated, and it was clear that she genuinely cared about Poppy’s comfort and well being. I would absolutely recommend Sophia to anyone looking for a caring, responsible, and attentive sitter. We would love to have her watch Poppy again!
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!
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.

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.
Tip: 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.
