“Moon is an absolute blessing. I’ve had a few sitters in the past, but no one has ever made me (or my dog Bernie) feel as comfortable, supported, and cared for as she does. Her communication is exceptional — she sends thoughtful updates, photos, and check-ins throughout the day, so I always feel in the loop without ever having to ask. Bernie is high-energy and a little high-strung, and not once has Moon ever made him feel like he was “too much.” She welcomes his personality, plays with him, takes him on walks, and makes sure he gets plenty of outdoor time in her beautiful, spacious backyard. She introduced him to her dog, Ru, with so much intentionality, patience, and care — which set them up for a smooth, safe, and positive connection from day one. Her home feels warm, artistic, and full of good energy — which is very aligned with me as a creative. Bernie picked up on that immediately. He gets SO excited when he sees her, and honestly, that tells me everything I need to know. Bernie gravitates to Moon like she’s an extension of me — safe, loving, and deeply familiar to him. On top of all that, she treats Bernie like family. She pays attention to his food schedule, his quirks, his needs, and she checks in with me immediately if anything seems off. Her communication is flawless. She’s flexible with booking, great with pricing, and even offers pickup/drop-off when I need it. I cannot recommend Moon enough. She is warm, intuitive, attentive, and genuinely cares about the dogs in her home. Bernie and I are so grateful to have found her. If you’re looking for someone who brings both heart and professionalism to what they do, she’s the one.”
About: I have recently made a move from a corporate career in finance to my first love, animal care after my neighbors all wanted me to walk and sit their beloved dogs! I opened my business Rosey Rovers this year. I just opened my new business Rosey Rovers after transitioning from a corporate career in the insurance industry. I am happy to offer my services with love and care in the Pasadena and surrounding areas. I currently offer walks daily at my client's request, for in home sitting I offer a sequestered area for your pet. I have a 72 pound very dog friendly mixed breed in my apartment, however, I like to sequester for safety of everyone's pets. I will provide photos of your pet for you every hour too!
About: I've shared my home with two to four dogs since coming to LA 15 years ago. Because I work from home, your pup gets a calm, dog-savvy human nearby all day — frequent yard breaks, play, and belly rubs instead of hours alone. I'm comfortable with puppies, seniors, medications, and high-energy dogs, and I keep my numbers small so every dog gets real one-on-one attention. I work from home on a flexible schedule, so your dog has company and supervision for most of the day — regular walks, play, and potty breaks, not long stretches alone. I offer boarding and daycare and take just one family's dog or two at a time, and I'm glad to keep your dog's normal routine for meals, naps, and bedtime. Your dog will have free range of my 3 bedroom home, detached studio, and very large, securely fenced yard. I don't have pets of my own right now, so your pup gets the whole space and my full attention — no other animals to compete with. I'm happy to crate or set up a quiet separate area if that's what your dog is used to, and I keep things calm and low-stress.
“I left my dog Arya with Angelica for day care for two days in a row and it was awesome. Arya had other small dogs to play with and a back yard to run around in and Angelica and her daughter were so nice to her and caring.”
“Kiran was a wonderful dog sitter for my dog Smidgen. She was super warm and communicative and sent pictures throughout the day. I don’t always trust so easily when it comes to Smidgen, but Kiran made me feel totally comfortable and like Smidgen would be in great hands. At our meet and greet, she asked a lot of questions and took into account what would help make Smidgen feel comfortable and safe. I know Smidgen had a great time hanging out with her and her pup and I will absolutely use her again. Highly recommend!”
“Stephanie was great with me and Mia. She made me feel comfortable and at ease with leaving Mia in her care. We talked about Mia’s care in detail and I can tell she cares about Mia’s well being. I feel Mia is in great hands in her care and I greatly appreciate her help with supporting Mia’s training. I plan to use Stephanie again in the future for day care.”
“Great boarding experience. Alicia was very accommodating with our last minute schedule. Pretzel had a great time with them. Tons of pictures and great communication overall!”
“My pup had a great stay with Frances! It was his first time in day care, and he really enjoyed himself. We are planning to go back right away. It feels good to have someone nearby who we can trust to care for our dog when we have things going on or are out of town. She sent tons of pictures and was very in tune with our dog. Thank you Frances!”
“Winston had a great time with Victoria, Herb & Bella. Lovely gated yard & home to play in. Winston definitely has a new girlfriend - thanks for the great care! Looking forward to booking again soon!”
About: When you choose me as your sitter, you can trust that your companion will be treated like family. I grew up with 5 dogs, and I love to spend time dog sitting now that I live on my own. I've watched and walked dogs throughout my entire lifetime, and my goal is to always provide your pet with experienced and loving care! I am excited to meet new pets and give their parents comfort in the fact that they will be well taken care of. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, and am willing to help with training, whenever needed. I go on walks often, and would love to have your dog along for the trip. I love animals and would love to be given the opportunity to care of yours! Pet care is super important to me! I start off every morning with a good long dog walk before it gets too hot here in LA, and then I make sure to do 2-3 more walks throughout the day. I currently work from home and I love dog snuggles. I offer all services, so it truly depends on what you book with me! I can guarantee a loving experience for your dog (as I know I will love and care for them just as much as you do!)
“Yoko provided daytime dog sitting at her apartment for two consecutive weeks. Our small dog quickly bonded with Yoko and made clear she looked forward to her daily visits. Yoko is highly conscientious, warm, and easy to work with. We look forward to booking additional time with her for our dog.”
“Just hired Helen for daycare for the first time and she was great! I felt immediately comfortable sending my doggo out for the day with her. She sent great updates and got my couch potato dog to do a hike. Thanks, Helen!”
“Really happy with today’s doggy day care. Efficient communication and a positive attitude. Thank you so much for taking lorelai last minute. I was sent regular updates and photos of how my pup was doing. Their Great Dane puppy Morgana kept lorelai busy and gave her a good work out. Lorelai had a couple potty accidents inside and they were incredibly gracious about it. I apologize about that again.”
“Tremendous care and play for my supercharged rott. year old- she was even worn out the next day, which I've never seen. Great communication throughout- highly recommended.”
“Corinna did an excellent job watching our pup for the day while we were in LA on holiday. You can tell that she really cares about connecting with and caring for the dogs she watches, and we felt like our puppy was well taken care of and well loved while she was there!”
“Namie was so great with my Coco, who warmed up to her right away. Coco usually takes a while to get comfortable with new people, but it was clear as soon as she saw Namie that she not only felt comfortable but happy to see her. I especially appreciated all the photo updates I got throughout her stay. Thank you, Namie! :)”
About: I have been an animal lover since I was a little kid, I have grown up with cats and dogs my entire life. I have a 6 year old goldador who is the best boy. We love to go on walks, go hiking, go to the beach, or go to the park. Haven’t been active as a sitter in Rover for awhile, but excited to get back into it. I currently work mostly from home, with a day or two at the office once a week to every other week. We go out 3-5 times a day with a morning walk, afternoon walk or quick potty break and long evening walk or go to the park. On the days I need to go to the office, your dog would need to be able to be ok at home anywhere from 3-6 hours. In my home with my dog, your dog will be taken care of like my own. Spoiled for sure with plenty of love and activity.
“Daisy is wonderful! Shes excited to see Star and gives her plenty of potty breaks. She’s understanding that Star is a senior dog who loves her naps and chill time. She’s also very responsive.”

Helen was great for doggy day care. Kept me updated and made me feel at ease after leaving my dog Goose with her during the day. Took him on three walks and he came back home ready to eat dinner and nap! Sent updated photos and all! 10/10 would recommend booking again with her.
Kiran was a huge help during our vacation in california. We booked a daycare for our dog Leo. During the day care hours kiran kept us updated on leo and sent lots of pictures. Because of her we had a peace of mind and were able to attend the concert. She was super helpful when we were running late in picking Leo. Definitely going to book her again. :)
Janice was wonderful and Ozzy loved it there. He didn’t even want to leave when I picked him up!!! I think any dog would be good here - they have a large house with kids that love dogs and a backyard, but especially if your dog is human oriented. There are so many laps to choose from!
Namie was so great with my Coco, who warmed up to her right away. Coco usually takes a while to get comfortable with new people, but it was clear as soon as she saw Namie that she not only felt comfortable but happy to see her. I especially appreciated all the photo updates I got throughout her stay. Thank you, Namie! :)
Kyle and Jennifer took great care of our 10 week old puppy! They were super accommodating of a last minute request and all of the care that goes into caring for a young puppy. They sent lots of cute pics of Marti through the day and she seemed to really enjoy their company. Would highly recommend!
Yuen was amazing with Daisy! She was so sweet and attentive. Even though my puppy can be pretty anxious, Yuen was incredibly patient and really helped calm her nerves. She took Daisy on walks with her dog Sasha, made her homemade treats, and sent me video updates so I could see how much fun they were having. I’m so glad I found Yuen and will definitely be booking with her again and again!

Albane was really sweet and understanding to my senior dog as she has one herself nearly the same age and size. Neighborhood is perfect for dog walks and her home is very lovely and welcoming for anyone who want to leave their pet there in good hands. Unfortunately my dog has severe separation anxiety and she just wasn’t appreciating it and I do feel bad Albane and her husband had to go through with her barking for so long. They were however kind and took turns in having her on their lap or sitting outside. Only then did she start to relax. I would definitely have her stay again if her anxiety didn’t make it difficult for those watching. I still recommend to anyone considering.

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 Altadena 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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 8,393 sitters in Altadena, 87% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
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.
