“Rosie is great! My little senior lady has many ailments that increase her anxiety and Rosie provides a calm, safe space that helps her relax and sleep. She worked with me to help my pup adjust to day care and sent updates throughout the day that calmed my own anxiety! If you are looking for an attentive sitter who goes the extra mile to give you and your pup peace of mind, contact Rosie.”
“Albert and Catherine were absolutely outstanding !! We truly can’t thank them enough for all of their kindness and amazing care for our dog Zene! They kept us updated with pictures and an absolutely incredible report card at the end of her stay! It was the nicest touch! Zene had so much fun and we are beyond grateful for their amazing care!! Thank you times a million!”
“Thank you Steven for accommodating a last minute request when another sitter cancelled on me. Steven is THOROUGH! He will ask questions to make sure he understands exactly what your dog needs. He let us see the space our dog would be chillin in, he had his own dog stairs which was much appreciated due to my senior dog having luxating patella. Steven sent many pictures so I knew my dog was in good hands and he also took him out for various potty breaks when he totally didn’t have to. I will definitely be using Steven’s services again!”
About: Hi! My name is Kenji and my girlfriend and I have an adorable 6 year old dachshund named Winston. I've loved animals for as long as I can remember, and spending time with pets is something that genuinely brings me joy. Over the past 10 years, I've become the go-to dog sitter for my friends and family because they know I'll care for their pets with the same love, patience, and attention that I would my own. I've looked after dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities—from playful puppies who love to explore to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and care. I also have experience caring for reactive dogs and understand the importance of staying calm, recognizing their triggers, respecting their boundaries, and following their routine to help them feel safe and comfortable. Whether we're going for a walk, playing fetch, sticking to their daily routine, or just relaxing together, my goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I know how much pets mean to their families, and I don't take that responsibility lightly. I'll always follow your care instructions, keep you updated with photos and messages, and make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, affection, and exercise. Nothing makes me happier than seeing a wagging tail, earning a shy dog's trust, or knowing an owner can travel with complete peace of mind. I treat every pet like family, and I'd love the opportunity to care for yours. I work remotely with a flexible schedule and have minimal meetings throughout the day, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care. I’m typically available throughout the day for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, feeding, and keeping pets company. I enjoy building pet care into my daily routine, whether that means taking a dog out for a walk, providing enrichment and play, following their normal schedule, or simply spending quality time with them. Since I’m home most of the day, I’m able to be attentive to pets’ needs and provide regular updates so owners can have peace of mind while they’re away. My flexible schedule also allows me to be consistent and dependable with each pet’s routine, which I know is especially important for dogs who thrive on structure and familiarity. For drop-in visits and walks, I focus on making pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for in their own environment. I understand that every pet has their own routine, personality, and needs, so I take the time to follow each owner's instructions closely and provide care that fits their normal schedule. During walks, I prioritize safety while making sure dogs get the exercise, enrichment, and attention they need. I’m comfortable adjusting the pace and style of walks based on each dog's energy level, age, and temperament, including being patient with dogs who may be nervous or reactive. For drop-in visits, I provide more than just the basics—I’ll make sure pets have fresh water, meals if needed, bathroom breaks, playtime, and plenty of attention and affection. I’m also happy to send regular photo updates so owners can feel reassured that their pets are happy and well cared for. When caring for pets in a client's home, I treat their space with the same respect I would my own. I follow all instructions carefully, maintain their pet’s routine, and make sure both the pet and home are left safe and comfortable.
“Very communicative and always excited to see our Luna! Luna basically runs inside now and I've never seen her so happy outside our home. Thank you so much for taking such good care of her!”
“Amazing would definitely leave my puppy with her again. She kept me updated every 30 minutes, I felt at ease knowing how my puppy was doing and what he was doing. Both her German shepherds were friendly with him.”
About: I have a Maltipoo named Luna who I care for every day, including feeding, walking, playtime, grooming, and keeping up with her routine. I also help care for my cousin’s dog, Frankie, a 20-pound Yorkie/Husky mix. Caring for dogs with different personalities has taught me to be patient, attentive, and flexible with each pet’s individual needs. I treat every dog like I would my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I have a flexible schedule and can make time for walks, playtime, feeding, and check-ins throughout the week. I already care for my own Maltipoo, Luna, so pet care is part of my daily routine. I’m happy to work around your dog’s normal schedule whenever possible. I treat every dog with the same care and attention I give my own. I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, medications, and routines, and I’ll make sure your dog is supervised and comfortable. I’m also mindful of each dog’s personality, triggers, and comfort level around other dogs and people.
“Great experience with Cindy and Jennifer. They were very communicative throughout the process and everything was very straight forward. Even more importantly, they gave our nervous pup the time and space to get comfortable with them. It was a great relief to get pictures of her warming up and settling in. Really appreciate everything.”
“Our pup had the best time with Amanda, he was happy when we dropped him off and happy when we picked him up the next day. Amanda was communicative, flexible, and friendly. We will be using her again!!”
“This was Willow’s first time staying with anyone other than us, and she did amazing! Miguel and Camila handled her with care and really respected her space, letting her explore and come to them when she felt comfortable. They were patient with her and gave her the time she needed to warm up and feel safe. Thank you for taking good care of Willow and making her first stay away from us a positive experience. This was also our first time using Rover, so we’re glad we gave it a try.”
About: I have taken care of pets for the last 20 years. I have been a house dog sitter for two German shepherds. I have also taken care of a tiny dogs while’s I’ve done babysitting and house sitting while owners are away on trips. I ha a 13 year old Pommix (my first baby). He has 2 kitten sisters (5yrs and 3 months). I recently retired from teaching elementary school for 30 years and would love to spend more time caring for furbabies 🥰. I would enjoy dropping in to play or walk pets and board pets on my home. I am a retired teacher. I spent 30 years in the classroom. I would like to work part-time caring for pets, walking them, as well as pet sitting when their parents are away. I have a fenced in yard so dogs can run and play. I also have a patio being built on my porch for cats who like the outside. My neighborhood is a perfect place to walk dogs as well as stroll cats in their cat stroller.
“Magdalena was super helpful and took amazing care of my dog, Roxy! She kept me updated throughout the day and with the LA heatwave coming through, she made sure to keep my dog hydrated and cool as much as possible. Would totally book with her again!!”
“Felicia is awesome. She is kind, down to earth, and was patient with my shy girl. It was her first time there and sent me photos throughout the day. I love that she has outdoor and indoor space and plenty of comfy sofas for them to lounge”
“Carol is awesome! She’s great with my dog, Poppy. She sends me cute pictures of them cuddling ? She has two sweet dogs of her own that get along great with Poppy. I have been bringing Poppy for day care while I’m at work. She even took Poppy for a walk. I’m going to continue to use her help because I feel comfortable Poppy is being well taken care of.”
About: Ever since I was little I have always had an animal in the house. They are my cuddle buddies and my family. Since I was the youngest of 3 I got the duty of doing the cat litter and sometimes the dog poop. When I was younger my cat had 3 litters of kittens and was also given that task which gave me amazing experiences with the little ones. I also have a 6 year old golden retriever/rottweiler mix and is the sweetest boy. He makes noises when he has to get up and always has to have a toy whenever he goes. My experience with animal care is feeding, walking, and play time. As for my two cats Lola and Harper, I make sure there food is kept full, and the water bowl as well. They also love the pets and I love giving them. I do the cat litter everyday so the house does not get smelly! I have also dog sat for three weeks over the summer for a 16 year old dog, it was super fun she had her own walking ramps and everything even though she was slow she still had a lot of fire still in her :) In all I love animals and would love to help, meet , and play with yours sometime soon. I live at home and am currently finishing school and getting my bachelors degree in business administration so I’m doing this job to be able to focus on my education and also to get out of the house and enjoy some cat and puppy time! I have a big wall surrounding my Backyard with 2 locked gates at all times so they cannot get out or run away. They have an area to go potty run around and chill.
“Lily and Raoul are such fantastic care takers! I received great pictures and stories of Nyra playing with their dogs, which always makes me so happy to hear. She had a great time and I could tell she didn’t want to leave by the end of it. They followed feeding instructions and were great with communication! I would highly recommend Lily and Raoul to take care of your dogs if you have the opportunity!”
“We highly recommend Michelle! Our dog is very shy and aloof with people. As soon as Michelle held the leash, my dog seamlessly walked along. The updates, photos and videos help put our minds at ease. Thank you!”
“Very accommodating! I could tell my pup felt so happy, comfy and spoiled at their house! They were also able to keep Dante separate from their own pup. Went above and beyond in small ways. Great photos and took him out for potty again right before it was time for pickup.”
“My dog has had an amazing time at Eric’s. Eric has taken a very good care of my dog. They took Ace for walk, and their dogs were super cute and friendly with my dog too. Eric sent me nice pics of my dog having fun and cozy time at theirs. It was extremely loving to also see their puppies playing and having fun with my dog at theirs place.”

Thank you Stephen for always working so hard to accommodate my requests!! I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, the only reason my husband and I are able to have fun and go out while having a dog with major anxiety is because of caring sitters like Steven! I am forever grateful knowing Elliot is in great hands. As always, I take him fed and walked so Steven has to do nothing but he always goes above and beyond just because that is who he is.
Cara is a wonderful sitter ! This is our 2nd time leaving Bruce with her for daycare. She kept sending me videos of Bruce throughput the day which I truly appreciate. And when we picked him up she gave us a thorough recap of his day and his behavior.
Thank you for taking good care of Finn, I really love All the pictures and updates you send me through his time with you. I highly recommend Laura if anyone is looking for a dog sitter. I interviewed about 12 people and she made me feel at peace . Definitely using her again my up coming vacation in December.
Can we say concierge level service? Sylvia is just that. The way she took care of my fur baby was exceptional and I can tell she enjoyed her visit. Not to mention, the oasis she calls her home is just gorgeous! Thank you so much! We are so lucky to have found you.
Great experience. She was easy to communicate with, sent updates throughout the day, and took great care of Winston. He came home happy, clean, and tired from a fun day. I’d definitely book with her again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable sitter.
Madison was a life safer after my sweet Hazel’s spay surgery. I was required to go to work on short notice the day after her surgery so not only was my pup not feeling great but she had never been left with anyone else or spent her day at an unfamiliar place. I was anxious about leaving her because she can be a pretty shy and nervous girl to begin with and she had already had a pretty traumatic day so as a dog mom, I was pretty worried how all that stress may show up in someone else’s home. Madison was very patient at drop off and aloud Hazel the time and space needed to be shy but curious and approached her gently. She sent immediate communication after I left to let me know how she was settling in and continued to provide pictures and updates throughout the day which was very appreciated and put my mind at ease. I felt confident Hazel was safe and being cared for just as well as she would be at home. Definitely keeping Madison in mind for any dog or cat sitting needs going forward.
Alvin was great! I appreciate that he accommodated me at the last minute and gave great tips and advice for my puppy who got along great with him. He sent several pics throughout the day. I will definitely be reaching out to Alvin again when I need a sitter or for overnight stays. I highly recommend him!
Javey took excellent care of Penny. I could tell she had a very active day with his big dogs Panko and Boba because she slept hard when she got home. They are gentle giants, don’t let their size concern you. They are well behaved and so sweet. Javey kept in constant contact throughout the stay with photos and texts, so I knew she was fine the whole time.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Alhambra commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.

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.
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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
