“Aline was great! She followed through in every visit by spending time with our cat and making sure her needs were met. Constant communication with us and provided pictures in the rover card.”
“That’s a lovely sentiment! Here’s a polished version if you’d like to share it as a review or thank-you note: Vicky took such wonderful care of our pets—you can truly tell she loves animals. Her kindness and attention to detail gave us complete peace of mind.”
About: I’ve worked in a dog daycare services for the last 8 years. I cared for over 10 dogs or more in a previous daycare home. My duties were to care for all the pups, feed scheduled meals, give prescribed medications, maintain the yard, change dog diapers, and greet clients who were picking up of dropping off their dogs. As of now I dog sit for friends, family members, and for other clients who I have been referred to. I enjoy working with dogs and caring for them. I do have two of my own fur babies who are Lola and Pepper. Hello, I am on summer break from school and decided to start taking care of dogs or dog walking in my downtime which is primarily on the weekends. As of right now I do work M-F in healthcare. If I’m hired to dog sit for a few days I normally check in with owners to see what their dog or dogs routines are.It’s important for me to gather this information to better care for the dogs and to make sure that my client is satisfied with my work ethic. Another thing that I like to do before a dog sitting service is scheduled I prefer to do meet and greets to make sure that the clients and pets are comfortable with me. Every pet and owner is different and I just want to make sure that I’m able to meet their care requirements.
About: Hi! I'm Rachael, and I've grown up with dogs my entire life. Having always had one (or several!) furry friends in my home, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pets. I provide reliable, timely, and friendly pet care, and I will treat your pets with the same love and attention I would give my own. Whether your dog needs a walk, playtime, companionship, or overnight care, I'm committed to making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you're away. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I currently have a very flexible schedule. I recently graduated from DePaul with a degree in Film & Television Production and am spending time in Chicago before moving to Los Angeles to pursue my post-grad career in the entertainment industry. I will be available in Chicago from June 20–24 and July 6–20, which allows me plenty of flexibility for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, feeding, and pet sitting. Having grown up with dogs my entire life, caring for pets has always been a natural part of my routine, and I enjoy making sure they receive the attention, exercise, and affection they need throughout the day. When caring for pets in a client's home, I strive to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while maintaining their normal routine. I will treat both your home and your pets with the utmost respect, kindness, and care. I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walking routines, medications, and any special needs your pet may have. Having grown up with dogs my entire life, I understand that every pet is unique and deserves individualized attention. My goal is to provide dependable care and ensure your furry family members are treated as if they were my own while you're away.

About: Although I’ve never owned a dog, I grew up with them nonetheless. I have a soft spot for dogs, no matter the breed or size. I’ve been trained in animal behavior and I understand canine body language. I cared for my grandmother’s elderly dog for about two months and I was her primary caregiver. I am currently a high school student so I am booked on weekdays until 2:00pm, weekends I’m completely free! I would love to walk your dogs and care for your sweet kitties in my off time. I have only ever cared for hamsters full time, but even then I made extensive research on how to properly care for hamsters. I know a lot about animal behavior and animal care in general as I am aspiring to become an animal conservationist. I always keep a close eye on pets and I am very attentive. I make sure all their needs are met and that they are happy and healthy. An animals comfort is my greatest goal <3
“Stephanie was great! She took the time to do a pre-meet up with me several days beforehand so she could meet Simon and learn about his schedule and needs. The day of she was prompt and sent me updates during Simon's time with her, including a cute photo. I felt very confident that Stephanie gave Simon great care and I plan to work with her again in the future.”
“Day was fantastic!! Really wonderful, empathetic care & attention to detail for our kitties. We were traveling for 10 days and felt at ease knowing we were in good hands. Great communication and appreciated pictures from each visit. We will definitely be booking again for all future travel!”
“Jessica did a fantastic job sitting our playful cat Maverick--we will definitely ask her again the next time we go out of town! She arrived every day at the right time, and was great at communicating and sending us photos and updates. It was clear from the photos that our kitty befriended her--it made us have a better vacation knowing that Maverick was being so well taken care of.”
About: I’ve cared for cats through drop-in visits and overnight stays, making sure each one feels safe, comfortable, and well-loved while their owners are away. I’m a therapist full-time, which means I’m calm, attentive, and very tuned in to behavior and routines. I’ve also fostered kittens and have a cat of my own, so I’m experienced with everything from playful young cats to shy or sensitive ones. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, medications, litter care, enrichment play, and giving plenty of affection. I work from home much of the week, which allows me flexibility and natural breaks throughout my day for drop-in visits or extended care. My schedule includes built-in gaps between sessions, so I’m able to provide attentive, unhurried visits and stick closely to your cat’s routine. Because I’m already accustomed to managing a structured schedule, I’m reliable, punctual, and communicative. Pet care fits seamlessly into my weekly routine, and I’m intentional about only booking what I can thoughtfully and consistently handle. I prioritize a safe and calm environment for every pet I care for. In your home I follow your routines exactly, including feeding, playtime, litter cleaning, and any medication instructions, so your cat feels comfortable and secure. I always supervise interactions and make sure doors, windows, and other hazards are managed for safety. In my home I maintain a clean, quiet space where cats can relax, explore, or retreat as they wish. Having fostered kittens and being a cat owner myself, I understand how to read behavior, provide comfort, and create a stress-free environment that keeps pets happy and safe.
“Jessica has been great checking in on and walking our dog Miso while we’re at work. He is very particular with people but warmed up to her right away. She’s been very responsive with updates. I would definitely recommend her!”

About: I’ve taken care of my two golden retrievers and their 31 puppies all until they’ve left the nest! I’ve been exposed to dog training and all different sizes of dogs. I’ve taken care of puppies, teens, adults, and seniors! I’ve also grown up with 10 cats and litter trained, played, and cuddled with all ages! I am unemployed so I have all the time in the world to check up on your loved ones 24/7. I will constantly be taking them out on walks, playing with them, feeding and taking them out for potty time! I have a fenced yard, and a special kennel in the backyard. Our yard is long and great for playing catch. I also have a senior golden retriever who would love to keep your fur baby company!
About: 🐾 About Me Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with years of hands-on experience caring for pups of all personalities and needs. I started working with dogs back in high school while volunteering at my local humane society, and I’ve spent over a decade caring for my own three small-breed fur babies. 💛 My Care Style I treat every dog like family—because that’s exactly how I’d want my own pups treated. I’m very responsive, attentive, and on the cautious side when it comes to safety.

I’m a fully remote employee with a consistent work schedule that can support flexibility. I take care of my own 3 pups with many walks throughout the day and can add to the pack or walk your pup separately! My own pets are always indoors, able to free roam and be in the furniture, etc. While I am not offering in home boarding, my space does also have a fully gated grass courtyard I could walk your pup to as well!
“Courtney is so good with Sagan. He is not the easiest dog to handle around other dogs, but she is great at making sure Sagan is safe and well taken care of. I highly recommend her!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Altadena
Aline went above and beyond to take care of my kitty! She took care of him as if he were her own and she set my mind at ease since I was so anxious about leaving him. I was able to enjoy my trip because of her. I am truly grateful for the love and care she showed my kitten. Thank you, Aline!
Camille was very nice and communicative. We have very shy cats and this was their first visit with Camille. While they didn’t come out, it’s typical for them, and I think they will warm up to her quickly. She also let us know when we had a problem with some mail and was very helpful.
Neysa was amazing! My boys are very skittish around peeps they don’t know and they took to her so quickly! She also helped with a few other items we needed being out of town for so long. She also sent great updates and photos of my boys during each visit. Neysa will be our go to for sure the next time we are out of town 😊 and I’m sure my boys already miss her!
If I could give Mari ten stars (or fifty), I would. She is absolutely great. She goes above and beyond. She clearly loves and understands animals, and she bonded with my cat during her introductory visit. My only concern is that my cat might prefer Mari to me henceforth (I'm only half joking.). I am sure she would be fine with dogs too. Hire her and you can be certain your pet is extremely well cared for while you are away.
Diana has pet sit for my cat Mooney several times and she has been great! She sends pictures and is very responsible. She has also been very responsive whenever I reach out which I really appreciate. She has been able to watch my cat on short notice which is huge. Highly recommend!

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 Altadena 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.

- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise

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.
