“Jing was amazing! She was able to accommodate us at short notice and communicated with us very frequently! Our dog Brax seemed super happy and comfortable! We will definitely book her again! ☺️🐾”
“We hadn’t taken an overseas vacation in over five years because it’s always been so hard for us to leave our dogs, and honestly, we struggled to find someone we truly trusted. But after our meet and greet with Janelle and Alvin, I immediately felt at ease and knew our babies would be in great hands. I’m so happy to say that instinct was absolutely right. They took care of our two dogs for two days, and the entire experience was seamless. Janelle was incredible with communication! She sent updates and photos regularly without me ever needing to ask, which gave me so much peace of mind while we were away. Both Janelle and Alvin have such a calm, kind demeanor, and their home is clean, cozy, and clearly a safe space for pets. One of our dogs is usually very anxious and slow to warm up to new people, but he surprised us by opening up to them right away. That alone speaks volumes. I can’t recommend them enough, and we will absolutely be booking with them again in the future! Thank you Janelle and Alvin for taking such good care of our babies!”
“Joyce and Yu are the bessssst!! They watched my dog while I was traveling and I could tell he was in very good hands. They’re very kind and caring, took him on plenty of walks and adventures to the park, provided a calm haven, and sent so many cute photos 😊 He even got a spa day while he was in their care! I’ll definitely be using them again — highly recommend!”
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs of different ages, personalities, and needs. I have two senior dogs of my own, so I’m especially familiar with senior care, maintaining routines, patience, and giving pets extra attention. I believe every dog deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. I provide a calm, clean home environment, plenty of attention, regular potty breaks, and walks. My goal is to make your pet feel like they’re staying with family rather than away from home! I’m currently a nursing student and spend most of my time studying from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of opportunities to care for pets throughout the day. I can accommodate regular potty breaks, walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and plenty of attention. I also have two dogs of my own, so caring for pets is already part of my daily routine. I enjoy having animals around and want every pet staying with me to feel comfortable, safe, and treated like part of the family. I live in a clean, comfortable apartment where pets can relax and feel at home. I have two friendly resident dogs, so I always prioritize proper introductions and making sure everyone is comfortable before interacting. I have a crate available if needed and can accommodate pets who are crate-trained or prefer having their own designated space. I follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, and daily routines. Since I spend most of my day studying at home, I can provide consistent supervision and attention. I also believe communication is important, so I enjoy sending photo updates and keeping pet parents informed while they’re away. My priority is creating a safe, calm, and loving environment where pets are treated like family.
“Ana and Mitchell were incredibly caring with Sophie. I needed a last-minute sitter for Sophie, who isn’t used to being home alone yet at 5 months, and they were amazing. What I love about them is that someone is always home and they only take one dog at a time. They were quick to schedule a meet-and-greet and were very welcoming. Sophie got to meet their dog, Ellie, and they got along instantly. Ana and Mitchell were flexible, accommodating, and asked thoughtful questions to make sure Sophie’s needs were met. We set up a short doggy date for a couple of hours, and it went perfectly- Sophie didn’t even notice we had left! Since leaving Sophie is new for us, we appreciated the frequent updates and their respect for her schedule. She came home happy and content, and it was clear she had a great time. Sophie will definitely be back soon. We even forgot a couple of things at their house and stopped by later, and Sophie was eager to go back inside to Ana and Mitchell’s home- showing just how comfortable she feels there.”
“Felix took very good care of my dog. They have the best affordable rate in the area! While I was away, they communicated well and sent me pictures and videos of how my dog was doing. I like that they showed care for my dog. Will book with Felix again! Thank you for your service.”
“We are so glad we left our pup in Li’s care. He sent photos every day, morning and night. He even gave her a bath so she came back so fresh and so clean! Top-notch service!”
“We’re so grateful that Ka was able to watch our pup on such short notice! Our pup has some extra needs, and Ka was incredibly attentive to our instructions and made us feel confident that he was in caring, capable hands. The regular updates and check-ins gave us so much peace of mind and reassurance that our little guy was safe and well cared for. We would absolutely book Ka again and highly recommend Ka to anyone looking for a thoughtful, attentive, and caring pet sitter!”
“Miguel took great care of our two dogs… He sent us an update with photos . He is very friendly and our fur babies immediately felt at ease with him. I feel very confident with Miguel and his wife Camila caring for our Daisy& Opal. Looking forward to booking with them again.”
“Our five-month-old German Shepherd was in great hands. We felt completely at ease leaving her there, and Shangmei followed all of our instructions carefully. This was the second time she has watched our dog, and once again, the experience was excellent. We truly appreciate the care and attention she provides!”
“Gus had a great vacation with Loretta and her family, he was very comfortable there. Loretta provided daily photos of Gus eating, walking and sleeping and was easy to communicate with.”
“Jake loved staying with Kiyomi and we highly recommend her. She went above and beyond with bellyrubs and lots of attention to make sure he felt at ease while we were away. Communication was excellent as we received several photos per day of them going on walks or chilling at home. It was clear she wanted to make Jake feel as comfortable as possible from prioritizing his stairs to get on the bed to leaving one of our shirts out for him to lay on. She also offered to pick him up before our flight, which was a huge help! We will definitely be reaching back out next time we need someone to watch Jake. * I also wanted to note that our review here is a genuine 5 star review. I am pretty picky about who we leave Jake with and have left him with other sitters in LA in the past who had lots of 5 star ratings that I felt were not deserved but I had the opposite experience with Kiyomi who outperformed our expectations. Given our lackluster experience with dog sitters in LA in the past we were a bit apprehensive about leaving Jake but Kiyomi materially allayed those fears and we will definitely be reaching out again next time we go away as Jake was in very good hands.”
“Hillary was great with Oliver. She was super patient and understanding of his needs and slight anxiety. I appreciated her communication style and updates. Would definitely book again”
“We loved working with Polli! Ollie loved her 😊. She’s really easy to work and communicate with. She left our house clean and we loved that before she left she made sure to feed him, fill his water, pick up his 💩, turn on music for him, and let us know everything was all set for when we got back so we had peace of mind. Thank you so much for a wonderful experience 🩷”
“We feel at ease every time we have Haejin and Victor babysit our dachshund Bella. They are true dog lovers and care for her like she’s their own. We always appreciate the updates and photos/videos. Highly recommend!”
“Cecilia took an amazing care of my little girl for three weeks. Cecilia sent us daily pictures and followed all of our instructions/requests thoroughly. My puppy obviously loves her as well. Would highly recommend Cecilia as a pet sitter and would definitely go back to her for any future boarding requests. Thank you so much💗💗”
“Martin was a wonderful caretaker for my cat. He communicated promptly, had a nice space for her including a cat tree which she used a lot, and sent photos every day which I appreciated. I highly recommend Martin if you need someone to watch over your cat.”
“I boarded my pup with Felicia for the first time ever and had such a wonderful experience. Her backyard is set up like a dog park with plenty of room to run and roll around. She was highly responsive and was really amazing at sending picture updates. I will definitely be using her services again.”
“Stephanie was awesome, she took Izaiah on walks and outings. He got to socialize with Stephanie’s puppy. She kept constant communication and sent picture updates throughout the time she had him. Would definitely reccommend.”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Alhambra is $63

We were looking for a one on one dogsitter and we are glad we found Steven!! Steven's home has a gate and a lawn which is perfect and safe for our dog. He is very caring, attentive, reliable and constantly updates on our dog. He even let our dog slept on his bed!! We are really appreciate he took an excellent care of our dog. We would recommend Steven to our friends! In fact, we already booked another appt!!
This is our 3rd time leaving Bruce with Cara and this time it was during our 2week vacation. We felt comfortable and at ease during our vacation knowing that he’s taken care of. We love that we get several video updates everyday and that she answers any questions and concerns diligently. Thanks Cara!! Highly recommended !!
We always love sending our fur babies to CAT. They are so well cared for and loved. We never have to worry about how they are doing because we get constant updates, and they always look like they are having so much more fun than we are. Sometimes I’m not too sure that they are happy to come back home. We are so grateful for them!
Felix took very good care of my dog. They have the best affordable rate in the area! While I was away, they communicated well and sent me pictures and videos of how my dog was doing. I like that they showed care for my dog. Will book with Felix again! Thank you for your service.
Brooke and Ryan are great communicators! We were kept updated on how he was getting acquainted and settling down in their home. They were even open to doing dog training reinforcement! Overall, we felt very comfortable with Brax in their care and will reach out to them the next time that we need a sitter.
Laura was an incredible sitter for my little Shaka! She was gracious enough to let us book a week plus stay at the last minute. She was communicative, very responsive, and kept my very energetic dog active all the time. Also loved how hygienic her space was and that she let me see her home before we booked. Would absolutely book with her again!

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
94% of sitters in Alhambra can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this 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 Alhambra 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 Alhambra.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Alhambra. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Alhambra 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
