“This was my first time using Rover......... great first time experience!! Sunny took great care of my 2 doggies. You can tell she is a huge dog lover. My dogs picked up on that also!!!! I will defiantly use her again. I would recommend her to all dog parents!!! "Camp Sunny" is awesome!!!”


“Melissa and her family are incredible!. We've always had positive experiences with all rover.com sitters but Melissa is something else entirely. She is the warmest, most down to earth, glad-hearted sitter we've ever encountered. Her and her beautiful family showed our Milo more love than he could have hoped for, kept us updated during our travels with continuous photos and updates on our golden boy, giving us incredible peace of mind. They really took care of our boy and we COULD NOT be happier with the entire experience. We are new to Newport beach but we have now found our dog sitter! Give Melissa a message when you need sitting - you will love her and know that your furry family member is in the best of hands. Could not recommend her enough!”

“Cara did a fantastic job watching Ocean! Had to extend my trip due to airline issues and Cara accommodated and watched Ocean an extra night.I came home to a happy pup who clearly enjoyed her company. Thank you for taking such great care of her!”

“Ashley had a wonderful time with Monika and her family. She was well taken cared. She was very welcomed. Monika gave us the updates/pics/vids we needed. We’ll definitely have Monika and family again. Thank you so much Monika.”

About: I’ve always loved animals and have years of hands-on experience caring for my own two dogs, along with dogs belonging to family and friends. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, cuddles, or keeping up with their daily routine, I know how important consistency and patience are. I understand that leaving your pet with someone new can be stressful, so my goal is to provide a safe, loving environment where your dog feels comfortable and cared for. I’ll treat your furry family member like one of my own and keep you updated with photos and messages along the way. I work remotely, which gives me the flexibility to provide attentive care throughout the day. My schedule allows for regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of companionship. I’m available for dog walking, daycare, and overnight care. I understand how important it is for pets to stick to their routine, and I’ll do my best to make them feel comfortable, loved, and at home while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust. I provide a clean, loving, and supervised environment in my home where pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection. During walks, I prioritize safety by using secure leashes, staying alert to our surroundings, and walking at a pace that’s comfortable for your dog. I’ll always follow your pet’s routine and any special instructions, and I’ll send regular photo and video updates so you can feel confident your furry family member is in great hands.

About: I've taken care of dogs for over 10 years and would love to host small to medium-sized friendly, mellow dogs. I am an artist and writer who lives in San Pedro, CA, by the waterfront. I have a fenced yard and work out of my home art studio. I can board your doggie(s) at my house for the day or for a few hours. I do not own pets right now because I have been traveling a bit. I am available M-F, and holiday/weekends if given advance notice. Only two dogs at most at any one time at my home. Contact me if you want a trusted companion for your furry friend :) I wake up very early in the morning. I usually take a walk by midmorning, and work on art or writing for the rest of the day, so I have plenty of time to play with your furry friends. I have a fenced yard to allow your doggies to get air, sun, or run around a bit supervised. I am also comfortable with dogs sitting on my furniture or bed. I have hardwood floors.

About: Hi, I’m Liv! I provide a true, boutique 'home-away-from-home' experience for pet parents who prefer an ultra-safe, distraction-free environment for their dogs. Unlike traditional boarding options or multi-dog sitters, I only accept one client family at a time. Your dog will be the absolute center of attention, with zero stress from unfamiliar animals. Because I work from home full-time, your pup will enjoy constant companionship, a structured routine, and a calm, quiet atmosphere. Our days are filled with plenty of backyard playtime, cozy office naps, and scenic, fresh-air adventures. We are located just steps from the Terranea Resort trails, giving your dog access to some of the most beautiful, stimulating coastal walks in California. Whether your dog requires specialized senior care, a high-attention routine, or simply prefers to be the 'only child,' I am dedicated to providing a luxury, stress-free stay. I look forward to treating your fur baby like family! I’ve cared for puppies and dogs for over 15 years, including administering medication, training, and of course lots of play, cuddles and fun adventures. I absolutely love dogs and can’t wait to host your baby and treat them like family 🐾 I have a large fenced yard, outdoor daybed, and an indoor large triple chaise lounge for your pup to enjoy. Size appropriate toys can be provided upon request!
“Mary proved to be an exemplary dog sitter, keeping me updated regularly with numerous pictures and ensuring my beloved pet returned to me even happier than before. Given the level of trust I place in anyone caring for my cherished furry companion, it was a true comfort to find such a gem in Mary. I am wholeheartedly grateful for her kindness and professionalism, and would not hesitate to engage her services in the future.”

About: I bring over 35 years of hands-on pet care experience, having grown up with and cared for cats, dogs, and a wide range of animals throughout my life. I’ve raised and trained dogs, including puppies, and have extensive experience caring for cats both personally and for friends and neighbors. My daughter Coral, who is almost 14, lives with me. She has grown up around animals as well and has learned how to safely bathe, walk, and care for dogs through helping with her friends’ pets and our shared love for animals. We live in a safe, beautiful, dog-friendly coastal neighborhood just steps from the ocean and beach park, offering an ideal environment for walks, exercise, and calm outdoor time. Pets in our care receive consistent attention, affection, and a peaceful environment. Cats are also welcome in our care and can enjoy a calm, secure home environment with safe outdoor exposure if appropriate. Above all, we treat every animal like part of the family and focus on creating a stable, loving, and attentive experience where pets feel comfortable, understood, and cared for. Pet care fits naturally into my daily rhythm and is something I can consistently and reliably integrate throughout the week. Mornings are ideal for early walks and I’m available for overnights any day of the week. I work for myself from home and see clients throughout the day, which allows me to be present and attentive while still maintaining a flexible schedule. While I may step out for appointments, I’m generally home and able to check in regularly. Weekends offer even more flexibility and availability for extended stays, outings, and focused attention. This structure allows me to provide consistent, dependable care and companionship for pets. In our home, pets are treated like family and given a calm, structured, and loving environment with consistent attention, comfort, and supervision. We maintain a clean, safe space with routines that support each animal’s needs, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, rest, and affection tailored to their personality. Because we live in a peaceful, walkable coastal neighborhood near the beach and parks, dogs receive enriching outdoor time and exercise in a safe environment. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize respecting their established routines to minimize stress and maintain stability. I follow all instructions closely, ensuring feeding, walking, medication, and comfort needs are met exactly as directed. I also provide calm companionship and regular updates so owners feel fully confident and connected while away. My focus is always on emotional safety, physical well-being, and creating a sense of trust and consistency for every animal in my care.

About: In addition to raising my own pets, I have experience looking after multiple pets of friends and family members. Hoping to happily provide the same service to your fur babies! If the pet(s) will be staying with me, I can easily watch over them at all hours from Thursday-Sunday. If I will be visiting your residence, I will be available during the evening on weekdays and all day on weekends There is a park near my residence that is great for walking dogs. Having a hybrid job also allows me to monitor them at all hours from Thursday-Sunday and can take them out as needed.

About: I’m super intuitive and nurturing so naturally I understand how animals may feel. I will pay attention to your pup and keep you updated. I haven’t done anything like this before but my mom and I would go to the shelter after my dog passed away just to walk dogs that needed love. I work part-time at a yoga studio and am studying for an exam before I start my next job. I’m super available right now! I care for pets by paying close attention to their mood and always try to understand what they want. I’m super intuitive so I will always pay close attention to your pet!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Avalon home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Avalon.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Avalon sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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 .
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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
