About: Hi there! I have long loved being a dog mom and thought to start sitting to give myself and my own dog some extra company and fun times. I can usually take up to two additional dogs to my own. If I am able to sit for your dog, I will be working from home. However, I am not available everyday. This is why I recommend planning in advance for my availability. I have a single family home with a fenced in dog run and patio for them to play in. They are free to be in the house and not be restricted in movements. However, I do not let pets on the furniture or beds. However doggy beds are available.
“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!”
“He was truly a lifesaver. I needed someone last minute while visiting Los Angeles, and he responded very quickly, which was incredibly helpful and reassuring. He was immediately accommodating and even made time for a meet-and-greet on short notice. He cared for my dog on two separate days and kept me updated throughout with pictures, videos, and messages about how she was doing, including whether she had eaten. He also took her on frequent walks, which she clearly enjoyed. When I picked her up, she was happy to see me and then went straight to bed as soon as we got home, which told me she had a full and active day. He was also very flexible and accommodating with both drop-off and pick-up times. I truly appreciated his care, communication, and reliability, and I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter.”
“Our Sheltie, Charley, enjoyed his daycare with Kevin. It was a great peace of mind for us, to know that Charley had Reggie and Ruby to play with and walk mate Reggie. When we picked up Charley, he wanted one more belly rub from Kevin before coming home. Will definitely choose Kevin for future dog care!”
About: I’ve been a dog owner for 8 years and grew up with dogs my whole life. I understand how important it is to find someone who will treat your dog with the same care, attention, and patience you would. Whether it’s a walk around the block or extra time for sniff breaks, I always make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and well cared for. I do freelance work from home so I have a flexible schedule Monday-Sunday. I’m able to care for your pet based on their needs and walking/feeding schedule. I have a fenced yard and a 9 yr old, medium dog (28lbs cocker Spanish mix) named Mia who’s very mellow. Your dog’s well-being is my priority. While you’re away, I create a calm, familiar environment where they feel safe, relaxed, and cared for. I follow their routine closely, pay attention to what makes them feel comfortable, and ensure they stay happy and secure until you return. You can feel confident knowing your dog is receiving thoughtful, reliable care every step of the way.
“Kiyomi was amazing with our dog. She took him for many walks, accommodated his medication schedule, played with him, fed him, and took really good care of our pup. I am so grateful we were able to find her and we will continue to use her dog sitting services! She also took so many cute pictures and it seemed like they had a wonderful day together.”
“Angelica was great. She accommodated some changes to our schedule, and the communications were prompt. We had a fantastic day, knowing our pup was in good hands. We would use her again in a heartbeat next time in Pasadena. Thank you Angelica!”
About: I’ve raised and loved dogs for 35 years, ever since I was 10. I’ve also cared for pets belonging to friends and family many times, always making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I’m a stay-at-home mom with three kids, so I’m home most of the time and have plenty of time to give your pets lots of love and attention! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. My house is big enough for dogs to move and run around freely. I provide a clean and loving home where pets can feel relaxed and safe.
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.
About: Hi! My name is Kenji and I have an adorable 6 year old dashschund 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.
“Jing was truly amazing with my dogs! From the very first meeting, they were instantly calm around her, which never happens with new people. She has such a gentle, grounding presence, and you can tell she genuinely understands animals. Before the actual sitting, she even took them for a walk at the park to help them get comfortable with her, which I appreciated so much. Throughout the day, Jing kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me total peace of mind. She was incredibly communicative, reliable, and attentive to every detail. My dogs absolutely adored her, and I could see how well cared for and relaxed they were when I got home. I would definitely use her services again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, responsible, and thoughtful sitter!”
“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.”

Steven was absolutely wonderful with my Sophia! He kept me updated throughout the day, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. Most importantly, Sophia felt so comfortable with him that she was able to eat and sleep peacefully — something she normally does not do with people she isn’t familiar with. It was clear that Steven was patient, caring, and attentive to her needs. I’m so grateful for the excellent care he gave her and would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter!
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.
Cara is amazing and took wonderful care of my dog, Sombra! She sent plenty of videos and pics of Sombra interacting with with the dogs, resting, and cuddling with her, which gave me a peace of mind knowing Sombra was having a great experience. Cara showed genuine care for Sombra and that made me very happy. Will absolutely book again!
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.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
