About: four cats (10 years) with varying personalities and needs. Skilled in daily care, behavior management, grooming, training, and creating enriching environments tailored to each animal’s breed-specific traits and individual temperament. I’m currently searching for a job, anytime works. I would love to take care of animals as a job. I love animals pet care would fit perfectly into my routine! I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm, enriching environment whether caring for pets in my own home or a client’s home. With over 15 years of hands-on experience raising a Shih Tzu, an Akita, a Pomeranian (for 15 years), and four cats, I have developed reliable routines tailored to each animal’s breed, size, personality, and needs.
About: I’ve cared for dogs for most of my life and understand that every dog has a different personality and comfort level. I have experience with everything from playful, high-energy dogs to anxious or protective dogs who need patience and calm energy. As a dog owner myself, I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. I’m attentive, dependable, and treat every dog like family—making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because caring for dogs is already a big part of my daily life. I have a 8 year old female golden retriever, my life revolves around her happiness. I’m used to walks, potty breaks, playtime, feeding schedules, and making sure pets get plenty of attention and affection. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I pay close attention to body language, energy levels, and routines to help pets feel secure and relaxed. I’m patient with shy, anxious, or reactive dogs and always treat every pet like family.
“I’m so grateful for the amazing care Amanda provided for my cat during the drop-in visit. She stayed for 1 hour and 47 minutes—even though it was only supposed to be a 60 minute visit! That really shows how much she cares. She made sure my cat was fed, had clean water, cleaned the litter box, and spent quality time playing and comforting her. I received thoughtful updates and cute photos that gave me peace of mind while I was away. I highly recommend Amanda to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and truly dedicated pet sitter!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats since I was 12, with an intuitive, loving approach. I genuinely enjoy spending quality time with each pet, paying close attention to their unique personality and needs. As a private chef who works from home, I have the flexibility to dedicate quality time to your pets throughout the day. My schedule allows me to provide consistent, unhurried care – whether that’s a midday walk when your dog needs it most or a relaxed visit to ensure your cat feels comfortable and content. I understand the importance of routine and reliability, and my home-based work means I’m never rushing from one commitment to the next. Your pet gets my full, present attention every single time My home features a large, fenced-in grassy backyard with plenty of shade – a safe, quiet space where dogs can relax and play. I have two indoor cats and no outdoor animals, ensuring a peaceful, secure environment for your pup to enjoy.
About: I've taken care of pets since I was 13. Friends and family rely on me to feed, walk, and play with them. I enjoy training them tricks, and they enjoy cuddling, scratches, and rubs! I have some free days to head to the park for walks and exercise. I'm Available mornings to evenings for fun adventures with your pups! I have a fenced home with lots of space to run around, and I can easily bring your Doggos inside or let them out in the backyard. I also know of the best parks to visit with them for walks.
“Limari is a kind, compassionate animal caregiver with a knack for connecting with all personalities. She is reliable and stays in touch-she has two new friends in my shy feline children. We look forward to seeing her again.”
“Mike was great! We were leaving our puppy in her crate at home for the first time for a night out. So she needed a check in to make sure she was chill. Mike came over and hung with her and her big sis for an hour and shared some great photos that let me know all was well!”
About: Hi! I recently graduated from UCSB and have a very flexible schedule this summer before starting my full-time job. I’ve dog sat for family friends, and neighbors over the years and genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs. I’ve cared for a Maltese for several weeks, looked after a German Shepherd, and watched other small and medium-sized dogs. I’m comfortable following feeding schedules, going on walks, playing with dogs, and making sure they feel comfortable while their owners are away. I always try to provide the same level of care and attention they receive at home. I’m also happy to send photo updates so you can feel confident that your pet is in good hands. I have a very flexible schedule and can provide care throughout the day, which means your dog will get plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and companionship. I’m available on weekdays and weekends and can easily adjust to your dog’s normal routine. Since I’m home most of the day, I can make sure your pet feels comfortable, cared for, and never left alone for long periods of time. I live in a spacious townhouse with plenty of room for dogs to relax and move around comfortably. I also have a private porch where dogs can safely spend time outside and enjoy some fresh air. There is a coach outside for them to lay on. I understand that every dog has different needs and routines, so I always follow owner instructions carefully regarding feeding, walks, exercise, and any special care. My goal is to make your dog feel safe, comfortable, and at home while you’re away.
About: I am your friendly, neighborhood, middle-aged auntie that loves and cares for pets and animals. I've grown up with cats, dogs, fish, reptiles, and now poultry. I specialize in dog walks and drop in visits for all of your critters. I mainly conduct all of my own pet chores in the morning, so I can be available for your pet needs later on in the day! I carefully follow instructions to conduct my drop in visits, and I will ask for clarification if something is missing at the home. I can walk dogs and check in on reptiles, fish, mammals, and poultry.
“Lauriane was amazing! She was so patient and kind with our dogs and they seemed really comfortable with her right off the bat. It’s never easy being away from our pups, but knowing they’re in such good hands made me feel so much better. We will definitely reach out again!”
“Anna was very sweet with my pup, Forrest and I enjoyed receiving photo updates. When Forrest was anxious one day during a 30 min. drop-in visit, Anna even offered to stay longer, which was appreciated!”
About: here's two of us. We show up together, so your pet gets double the attention and you get a built-in backup if anything comes up. Between us we've got experience with cats and dogs, and we actually live with a cat and dog, so this isn't a side hustle — it's just an extension of what we already do every day. Pet care isn't something we squeeze in between other things — we plan our week around it. We're local, we're flexible, and since there's two of us, we can almost always make it work even on short notice. We follow your instructions to the letter. Photo updates every visit. We notice if something's off. Your home stays exactly how you left it. Simple as that.
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.

April is the absolute best!! Our cat loves her and she spends quality time playing and cuddling with him. She also sends great updates and pictures so I am never worried about him when I’m gone. She is quick to communicate and is very friendly and flexible. This was my second time booking with her; so happy to have found such a reliable cat sitter!
Amanda was very helpful and accommodating while taking care of my two cats. She always sent photo updates and would let me know of any issues. She would try to plan ahead for the visits and was also patient while working with me to troubleshoot any unexpected issues. I would definitely have Amanda take care of my boys again and would recommend her to others
Christina took care of our kitties for 8 days while we were away on vacation. I can not begin to explain how attentive, caring and kind she was. She went out of her way to make sure our cats were happy and was super communicative throughout the whole process. During her meet and greet visit, she listened carefully to our instructions and asked many questions. Which reassured me that I was leaving my cats in capable and loving hands. Without a doubt I will be contacting Christina for my future trips. Thank you for everything.
Amy is a very attentive and experienced sitter who dropped in on my pups several times while I was out of town. She sent descriptive updates and gave me peace of mind that everything was in good hands. Sitters as patient and caring as Amy are rare and I would gladly book her again!
Tianfan is our go to catsitter. We have worked with her multiple times now and she has been amazing! Our cats love her. Thank you so much for taking care of the house and the kitties!! We’ll stay in touch so we can book you again for our next vacation. Thank you!
Meagan was an absolute treat with my fur baby 🥹 she was so attentive and so gentle with my kitty while I was away on vacation! I loved how she sent over pics and was so easy to communicate with!! I highly highly recommend her and will be booking her again 😆 thank you again!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Alhambra on Rover is $26.64 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 21,393 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Alhambra. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Alhambra stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Alhambra. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
