“Raymond was great for a last minute booking. I had to find a pet sitter real quick before heading out of town due to my other pet sitter not being able to watch him last minute. He was responsive and did well with watching Toby for the 2 drop ins he did.”

“Kennedy was such a great sitter! I needed a last minute sitter and he was able to help me check in on my 13 year old pug all week. He gave her lots of love and provided updates. As a pet sitter myself, I 100% recommend Kennedy and his services. Reliable, friendly, and a true pet lover!”
About: I’m Cait! I live in Belmont Shore, where there’s a 60/40 chance a stroller is carrying a fur baby vs a human baby. Contact me for your last-minute needs! I am a remote worker with a flex schedule. I’ve been caring for dogs of all ages, shapes, and personalities since I was a little girl. The dog in the photo is Archie, my favorite nephew and frequent guest. I hope to meet your bestie soon! Reach out for your last minute requests! I’m a fully remote worker with a flex schedule so getting to and from your pet’s abode will be as breezy as the bike path. Frequent potty breaks and play time is 100% welcome. I love to get my steps in so let’s take your pal out for a walk or run!

“Maiko was super friendly and accommodating. My kitties caused an issue at home and she was very prompt on informing me and help me with the situation. I definitely recommend her and will be requesting for her service again!”

“Shelli did a wonderful job with check ins for our dog while we were out of town. She’s great at communicating and keeping us updated with pictures and comments at each check in.”


About: I have hands-on experience caring for a wide range of dogs, including breeds like pit bulls, German shepherds, huskies, english bullterriers, bulldogs, and American bullies. I’ve raised and trained my current dog from a puppy and cared for my previous dog through all stages of life, including senior care. I’m comfortable with different temperaments and energy levels, from high-energy dogs to more relaxed or older pets. I also have experience pet sitting for multiple types of animals, including cats, fish, turtles, and small aquatic pets. I’m patient and attentive, and I’ve worked with shy animals, earning their trust over time. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m currently a college student at CSULB with a consistent class schedule, which allows me to plan my pet care visits reliably. Depending on the day I’m typically available in the afternoons, evenings, and weekends, and I make sure to schedule my time so pets receive consistent attention, walks, and care. I’m dependable and communicate clearly if anything in my schedule changes. I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every pet. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions, including feeding routines, exercise, and any specific needs. I’m attentive to behavior and make sure pets feel secure in their own space. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos for peace of mind while they’re away.
“Kristina is nothing short of amazing—I couldn't have asked for a more thorough, attentive and considerate sitter. I highly recommend Kristina for any of your pet sitting needs! We have finally found our local sitter for future travels and we couldn't be happier. Thank you x a million, Kristina! 🖤”


About: 🐾 Experience I grew up with a family dog who was part of my life for over 10 years (she passed away last year and I miss her dearly), so I understand the day-to-day responsibility, routines, and care that go into keeping a dog happy and healthy. Through that experience, I’m comfortable with: - Daily walks and exercise routines - Feeding schedules and portioning - Basic grooming (brushing, cleaning paws, etc.) - Giving lots of attention, play, and companionship I’m especially mindful of each dog’s personality and energy level. Whether your dog needs a calm, relaxed walk or something more active, I adjust to what they’re most comfortable with. I also understand how important communication is for pet owners. I provide consistent updates, photos, and check-ins so you always feel confident your dog is safe and well cared for. While I’m newer to Rover, I bring real, hands-on experience from years of caring for my own dog and I treat every dog I work with like they’re my own. I thought this could be a good way to help me heal my heart after the loss of my family dog and be more active while helping local dog owners. I have a flexible schedule and live locally in Belmont Shore, which makes it easy for me to provide consistent and reliable care. I’m available for morning, midday, and evening walks or drop-ins, depending on your needs. I enjoy staying active, so daily walks fit naturally into my routine. I’m also available on weekends and can accommodate recurring schedules. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow your instructions closely, including feeding routines, leash preferences, and any specific behaviors or needs. I’m attentive on walks, avoid unsafe or crowded areas when needed, and make sure your dog is secure at all times. In your home, I’m respectful, clean, and mindful of your space. I provide regular updates with photos so you can feel confident your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.
“I can always count on Christopher! He’s great with Rosie especially since she needs some xtra love and care with post surgery and new diet! Thanks Chris!!”

“Wolfie is a rescue and he is super nervous around humans, but learning. Jen is the first person besides us to walk Wolfie. She definitely helped Wolfie make progress. Wolfie went from barking at her upon meeting her to adoring her at the end of the walk. Jen is super chill and great at observing a dog’s behavior and adjusting to his/her needs. Overall a 10/10.”


“Ryan & Cindy were so wonderful with my cat June. Photos and videos from each drop-in showed how happy she was & made it just a little bit easier to be away from her! Although I know June was a little shy at first, it meant so much to me that they took the time to sit with her & give her time to be comfortable so she could do her favorite activity - play with her string!! I will definitely be booking with them again in the future - thanks for everything :)!”

About: I've owned and cared for dogs, cats and many other types of animals since I was 4 years old. My entire life I have boarded my dog while away from home on the rare occasion that they were not joining. Recently I tried Rover for the first time, loved it and saw how happy my dog was to stay in a loving home and I realized I would like to pass that care onto others, Currently I'm a stay at home dad so I have plenty of time for walks, potty breaks and play time. Being a dog owner myself I know how important routine is so I'm very flexible and will do my best to match your dogs current schedule Currently I live in a 2 bedroom duplex with a completely fenced in back yard. Walks to the beach, a stroll down 2nd street, play time, or whatever routine your dog is used to I'm sure we can do it. Pet sitting at your house I will stick to your pups usual routine
“Michelle took such great care of our dog and cat. We received a lot of pictures, which we really appreciated. Many updates were given during our vacation, and Michelle was very flexible when we had to come home early. We strongly recommend Michelle to anyone looking for someone to take great care of their pets!”

Alamitos Heights pet parents share their Rover experiences
Mary Beth was a reliable and caring pet sitter for my 6-year-old cat, Ozzie. She took the time to learn about Ozzie’s personality and needs, which made me feel very comfortable leaving him in her care. She communicated well, sent photos during every visit, and handled all feeding and litter box clean-up. Mary Beth was kind, friendly, and clearly experienced with different pet personalities. Ozzie was well cared for and comfortable with her. I would highly recommend Mary Beth to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive pet sitter.

Alissa did a fantastic job watching my cat during an unexpected trip, even on short notice. She sent detailed updates and photos with every visit, and it was such a relief knowing my needy cat was in great hands. He was also very happy, getting lots of head scratches and pets😻. I could be away with peace of mind.
