“If possible I will use Allen again! This is the first time I've left my dogs with a stranger and it was a great experience for them and me. Allen sent videos and pictures every day. We were gone for a week and when we returned he'd washed the sheets and vacuumed the house. It was a joy to return home!”
“Elaine was a great sitter! She was attentive and worked with Ripley on walks. She sent lots of pictures and status updates during her stay to make sure we were informed of all the fun they were having.”
About: I have been around dogs my entire life! I have three and I know dog behaviors very well. I love being around dogs and I own a jumpy dog so I know very well how to handle them! I am available any time needed currently! Any normal or odd time I can do! I can be there whenever you need and am okay with any time at all. I can handle any accommodation needed, like crating at certain times, extremely specific things needed done, etc! I can handle any specific schedule and any key details about your baby!
“Giovanny was awesome! He was kind, respectful and communicative. He was great with our pup. He followed our instructions and our pup loved him. We were even running late to get back home on time and Gio stayed until we returned. Highly recommend!”
About: I've taken care of animals my entire life. I've helped birth and raise puppies and kittens, I've fostered dozens of cats and dogs, including those who are still not weaned or have disabilities that require specialty care. I also have experience with exotic pets. I am currently in school to become a veterinarian. I am currently taking online classes, so I am able to work long hours with no worries about scheduling interference. I currently do not have another job. I have experience with pets of all sizes, needs, and temperaments. I am comfortable with applying medication, walking, and any other needs that may come up.
About: I originally grew up taking care of rabbits,guinea pigs, and chinchillas, which included grooming / shaving/ nail clippings and baths. I even litter trained them myself. I learned at a young age how to be gentle with all types of small animals and the importance of a clean environment. I am also available for exotic animal drop in visit care services (rabbits, guinea pigs, chinchillas). In my later years I fell in love with dogs and cats. I rescued all of my cats from trees and crawl spaces and learned how to cut their nails as well. When I got my first schnauzer - I learned the joy of training, patience, and positive reinforcement. My favorite thing to do is walk and spend time with animals, so it only makes sense that I create a lifestyle conducive to the things that bring me joy. I love spoiling dogs with special treats and I always talk to them like I would a person because they are so smart and pick up so many words. Walking with dogs outside, playing, chasing squirrels, and the joy of fresh air is my favorite thing to do. No walk is ever long enough for me. I am highly interactive and assertive to animals needs and I know how important positive energy is for their wellness. A good environment allows them to thrive and trust the company they are with. I am currently working part time, and I have a somewhat flexible work schedule, so pet care is something I enjoy and do daily as I have a pup of my own. I share my pup part time with my ex partner, so I have many days available to help take care of other animals. If it was completely up to me I’d have a tiny farm. I love animals so much and walking dogs is my absolute favorite pastime. I live in a one bedroom apartment with my cat Penny. My pup visits me two days a week. My cat is very dog friendly because she is used to my pup visiting twice a week. Fresh water, teeth brushing, home cooked meals/kibble are all things I do and I have stairs for smaller dogs to come on my couch. No areas in my home are off limits to pets.
“Jack was amazing! This was my first time using this service and I was a bit nervous but he made me feel at ease when we met. He kept my pup happy and healthy and kept me updated with pictures and texts about how she was doing, when he was there, when he was leaving and just general updates. 10/10 would use Jack again for house sitting. Thank you!”
“Malcom was absolutely fantastic! This was our first time using Rover and he made us feel so comfortable and reassured during our meet and greet and we are so happy with our decision to book him!! He kept her routine with plenty of walks, provided updates the entire stay, and our dog Mya looked so happy in all the photos and videos he sent so we know she was well cared for. :)”
About: I love spending time with animals whenever I get the time to do so, I can not wait to spend so much more time with them. I hope your best friend can trust me and not be afraid to play with me. 🐾 I’m currently in college for part-time from Tuesday to Wednesday I am available from 12 through 6pm and on Wednesday I take an afternoon class, I’m available from 9Am-1:30 3:50-6:50. Monday,Thursday Friday,Saturday,Sunday available anytime those are my days off. I would normally stay home with them and watch them. In the afternoon I would take them on a walk. If they are hungry or it’s there feeding time I would feed them and once an hour or two I would play with your pet for a little bit.
About: My dogs are my life, and I want to ensure your dogs are well taken care of while you’re away. I have experience taking care of multiple dogs, from puppies to senior dogs, and dogs with timely medications. I had my first dog at 9 years old for 15 amazing years. My second dog, I’ve had since she was a puppy and has crossed the rainbow at 16 years old. She was also on specific timed medication for the last 3 years. I also take care of my brothers 2 dogs. I am currently unemployed, and I’ve been working on freelance work projects from home. I have plenty of time to care for dog and I am flexible with time. I have a fenced backyard your dog can spend time in. I also have a small fenced area in my home they can stay in comfortably, and separately from the other dogs. All preferences can be catered to your pet such as if you want your dogs away from other pets or if you would like them outdoors more that inside, etc.
“Brittney did an amazing job taking care of our Frenchie and our home while we were away. Her communication was consistent, thoughtful, and always kept us informed. We especially loved getting the adorable photos and updates of our little pup throughout the stay. We came home to a happy doggie and a well cared for house, and we would absolutely book Brittney again!”
About: I’ve spent years caring for families and their furry friends! Through my nannying and house-sitting experience, I’ve regularly cared for dogs while their families were traveling, including following detailed routines, keeping up with walks and feeding schedules, and making sure they received plenty of love and attention. I’m big on communication, so I always keep families updated with regular photos and messages so they can feel at ease while they’re away. I genuinely love spending time with dogs, going on walks, playing, and giving them lots of attention. I’d be happy to give your pup the same loving, dependable care I’d want for my own! 🐾❤️ I work full time, but I’ve made it a personal goal to hit 15,000 steps a day! I’m on a health grind and what better company than some friendly doggos on my walks? I’m available in the evenings, and I also take a big long walk around 9–11 AM in Downtown Long Beach. I genuinely love walking and especially enjoy being outdoors with a good view! I treat every pet like they’re part of the family and make their safety and comfort my priority. I’m experienced with caring for dogs in clients’ homes, including overnight house sitting while families travel. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, medications if needed, and any special instructions. I also send regular updates and photos so you always know how your furry friend is doing. 🐾❤️
“Maria is awesome! She won our anxious dog over very quickly, and put us all at ease by sending photos and updates frequently. Pippa was very happy and well cared for. Would absolutely recommend!”
About: My goal is to make sure your pet feels loved & cared for. I also want you to feel at total ease if you need to leave them and allow me to care for them. I know what it’s like to want the best for your pet. I’m a 4th grade teacher starting my second year teaching! My availabilities are generally weekends throughout the day and weekdays after 4/4:30. Pet care is an important part of my routine with my 12 year old Maltipoo. We go on night walks, quick morning strolls & if I’m ever off for the day, we love to go on fun, adventurous car rides. My dog, Pogo, always stays with one of my parents if I’m at work or away. Due to all of our schedules, he is never alone, so he is taken to the bathroom regularly. I like to keep him active & engage with him, allowing him to have the fullest enjoyment. That said, I carry the same actions when pet sitting. They receive full attention from me, because I know how crucial it is for pets to feel loved, especially when their pet parent is away.
About: I take pride in the trust that friends and family have place in me. I will take care of them like my own. Your home will be respected and cared for. I have cared for special needs pets. I work from home as an RN. This gives me a lot of flexibility. I go for walks at least daily. Having a dog (or cat) to walk with encourages me. I love animals. I always try to follow the pet's normal routine closely. I understand the importance of keeping pet's as stress free as possible when their humans are away. I will care for them and your home with kindness and respect.
About: Hi Rover people! I’m Hannah Cole and I’ve been working with animals for ten years especially dogs. I currently work at a dog daycare, boarding and grooming facility in Los Angeles which I absolutely love. I’ve worked in many daycare environments, so I’m used to being around different sizes and breeds. I also have experience in the veterinary field. Skilled in dog body language and signs so I will move at your pup’s pace. I’ve also fostered and worked for a rescue so I’m very patient with the nervous ones. I will update you with pics and info on how your pup/cat is doing while you’re away plus make sure they are spoiled with love! Feel free to message me for more infomation. Thanks again and enjoy your day! I’m currently working full time, so I can do walks after work or on my days off. I’m open to pet sitting after work or days off. I can adjust my schedule. I can do multiple walks, play time, meals, medicating and etc! You can also make a schedule for me if you’d like. I unfortunately don’t do any pet sitting at my home.

This is the second time Kristina has stayed with my babies and this time I was gone for about 2.5 weeks. It felt so good knowing they were safe at home and I didn’t have to worry that they were being taken care of well. She sent daily updates and pictures. When I got home my girls were happy and healthy. Kristina is a great choice!
Scarlett was fantastic. Showed up on time and took care of both of our dogs over our wedding weekend. She used to be a vet tech, so very knowledgeable about dogs, and did amazing with both dogs. We have a blue Heeler and a golden doodle, so very different dogs. Super respectful of our place, would for sure hire her again.
Allen was excellent! From the time we met at the initial meet & greet, he went out of his way to connect with my fur baby. He plopped down on the floor w/her, let her sniff him, and immediately showed her love and attention. During the visit, he sent pictures and kept me updated on a regular basis. When I returned home, my dog was happy, well cared for, and my house was spotless! I would recommend him 100% if you need a dog and house sitter!!
Ji Hae took care of my dog while i was out of town and she did a wonderful job! My dog had a nice little staycation at home with extra walks and playtime. Always kept me updated with photos and what they were up to. Looks like they both had a good weekend. Thank you again!!
Hannah took exceptional care of our dogs once again. All of our dogs require medication, which she handles with ease. Additionally, she cooked special food for our dog when he had an upset stomach. She also took out our garbages and brought in packages for us. Highly recommend!
Absolutely amazing experience with Velvet! She took such great care of my two dogs and treated them like her own. I could tell they were happy, comfortable, and well looked after the entire time. Velvet was reliable, attentive, and kept me updated, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. My dogs absolutely loved her, and I truly appreciated how caring and responsible she was. I would 100% book with Velvet again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and loving to care for their pets!
Taylor did an amazing job and I will 100% be bringing her back to babysit my cat Bella. She responds quickly, sent photos every day, kept my apartment clean, took out the trash, and even kept my little plant alive! It’s obvious she is a pet lover and had a great relationship and was so caring for my little kitty. She really brought me so much peace of mind while I was out of town!!

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Carson walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Carson maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Carson choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
