“We recently used Soonok as a dog sitter for the first time to care for our senior terrier, and the experience exceeded our expectations. Naturally, we were a bit anxious leaving our older dog in someone else’s care, but Soonok immediately put us at ease. Soonok was incredibly kind, patient, and attentive, taking extra care to accommodate our dog’s needs and pace. What really stood out was the consistent communication—we received daily updates and videos, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our dog was in great hands and being treated with genuine care and affection. We’re so grateful for the experience and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Soonok to others. We will very likely be using her services again in the future.”
“Angela D handle my two dogs very well. My older dog Honey was having difficulty and Gigi being younger was would get in her environment but Angela seemed to handle the situation well. Taking them frequent walks calmed them down. She was patience with them which I loved and kept me updated on a daily.”
“It was our first time getting a sitter, Mollie and her family was AMAZING, Nala had a great time. She provided care for nala like she was her own, kept me updated and communication was great. I Will definitely book Mollie again. She was awesome! Thanks again!”
“Caroline is absolutely THE BEST. I went out of the country for almost ten days for my vacation. I was worried because I had never left him for this long. But I stopped worrying right after I met Caroline. She was so sweet and friendly. She sent many photos and daily recaps, which relieved me. And I could tell my pup was so happy with her. Honestly, I felt like he had more fun than me. LOL. Seriously, she deserves ten stars, not five.”
“Amely was wonderful with FiFi during her two-night stay! From our initial meet-and-greet, she was friendly, professional, and welcoming. Throughout the weekend, she communicated consistently and sent plenty of pictures, which gave us peace of mind. We truly appreciated her attentiveness and the care she provided. We were so pleased with our experience that we’re planning to book with her again for the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday week! We highly recommend Amely to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter.”
“Absolutely fantastic sitter and truly cares for the dogs she watches! My dog had a medical issue during boarding and she went above and beyond to change out his food and provide me updates. Couldn’t be happier”
“Jenni took excellent care of our pup and kept us updated throughout his stay with plenty of photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. He came home happy, clean, and well taken care of—it was clear he had a great stay with her! Jenni was very responsive and communicative from start to finish and was overall a great sitter. We would definitely use her services again!”

She was so patient, caring, and wonderful with cat. Her communication was excellent, and she kept us updated with pictures and messages. I truly appreciate how much she cared for our little kitten. I highly recommend her!”
“Where do I begin? Dominique is Absolutely Amazing. She took care of Paris so well went above and beyond took her own walks. Gave her extra treats and extra love. She sent me pictures and videos of Paris and what she was doing throughout the days. I am greatly appreciative of finding her and the quality of care that she gave our little fur baby. I was so thankful and ungrateful for her care that we have already rebooked twice with her for future engagements. Thank you so much, Dominique. We greatly appreciate you and Paris had a ball.”

About: Hi! My name is Noel. I have loved and cared for animals my entire life. Leaving your pet behind can be stressful, but I treat every dog like my own family. I offer a safe, clean, and fun environment where your pets will feel completely at home. I recently said goodbye to my own beloved senior dogs, and through caring for them in their golden years, I learned just how much love, patience, and specialized attention older pets need. I provide a patience first approach with daily walks tailored to your dog's energy level. Cozy & accessible spaces and a calm environment with easy access to water, comfortable resting spots, and minimal stress. As well as consistent communication, frequent photo and text updates so you have total peace of mind while you are away. Morning: Wake up, fresh water, breakfast feeding, and backyard playtime or an energetic morning walk (extra). Afternoon: Mental enrichment, interactive play with favorite toys, and relaxing indoor cuddle sessions. Evening: Dinner feeding, backyard playtime or a wind-down evening stroll (extra), and plenty of cozy rest before bedtime. Updates: You will receive regular photo and video updates throughout the day so you never miss a moment! Fully Fenced Backyard: My home features a secure, fully fenced backyard with plenty of space for your dog to safely explore, play, and burn off energy under constant supervision. Pet-Friendly Hardwood Floors: Our indoor spaces feature clean hardwood flooring. This makes accidental messes incredibly easy to sanitize quickly, ensures a hair-free environment, and provides a smooth, trip-free surface for dogs with visual impairments. Calm & Predictable Atmosphere: I maintain a peaceful, low-stress household. Because we don't host chaotic puppy energy or unpredictable crowds, your dog can truly relax, stick to their normal routine, and feel completely at home.
“Jasmine and her family went above and beyond to make our dog Oreo feel comfortable in their family. They adapted their days to ensure Oreo gets enough exercise and love. They updated us regularly with pictures and videos and we could clearly see how happy Oreo was with them. We would definitely book Jasmine again as our pet sitter and we cannot thank her, Ed and the kids enough to make Oreo a family member.”
“Irene is so wonderful! I had 2 weeks of travel planned and had just gotten a new puppy. I was so nervous about leaving him because he wasn’t fully vaccinated and needed to be kept inside. Irene was so accommodating and communicative. My dog absolutely loves her and was treated like he was a part of her family. Will be using Irene again in the next couple weeks!”
“Julie and Justin were great. At first my wife and I weren't sure about leaving Archie with someone other than another family member, but Archie was well taken care of and we were very happy with the experience. Julie and Justin sent plenty of pictures and videos of Archie and i quickly noticed that Archie was fine and having fun. We were on vacation and it was as though Archie was on vacation too. There was plenty of room indoors and plenty of room outdoors for Archie to play. We are thankful for Julie and Justin being patient and loving to our doggy Archie. We would definitely request them again for Archie.”
“Leonore and Davis are amazing! They are great with communication and provide you with so many fun updates while watching your fur baby. I felt super comfortable leaving my dog, Roca with them while my husband and I traveled. Roca had so much fun and was well taken care of. I will be booking again! I highly recommend Leonore and Davis if you need a safe and loving place for your fur baby.”
“Akiko and her family took fantastic care of our 1.5 years old Samoyed ☺️ We boarded him for 2 weeks and it was the best decision! Being out of the country for so long we worried about how he would do. All initial worry was quickly dispelled as Akiko updated us with pics/vids everyday and filled us in on how he was doing. Akiko also owns a dog and the two of them were besties from day one! Whether we will be gone for one day or two weeks, our Samoyed will be staying with her 100%.”

Sabrina is absolutely amazing! She goes above and beyond to make sure our pup was comfortable and had lots of love and attention when we boarded him for the day. She took the time to walk him , give him lots of outdoor time and followed his lead on what he needed . It is always a plus that she sent photos and gave us updates throughout the day. Thank you Sabrina , I highly recommend her !
Jennifer and her family were amazing with my dog! They made him feel welcomed, comfortable, safe, and so loved. Jennifer was incredibly accommodating with my last-minute booking, and with her veterinary nursing background, I felt confident trusting her with his ear medications. She kept me updated with photos and videos and even shared the great news that his ears were improving! I was able to enjoy my time out of town with complete peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. I can’t recommend Jennifer enough and would absolutely book with her again!
gileen was amazing with my little guy, leo! she frequently kept me updated on his stay and sent many pictures throughout as well. leo had a great time! i also appreciated how welcoming and accommodating her home is to pets. i highly recommend gileen and will be booking with her again!!
This was our first time using Rover and our first time ever having someone dog sit for us, so we were a little nervous about leaving our dog with someone new. From the very beginning, Marilyn made us feel completely comfortable and reassured. She loved our dog like he was her own, and we could tell he was happy and well cared for. She sent us photos and videos throughout his stay, which we really appreciated. Our dog was so excited to be with her, and that really says it all! We couldn’t have asked for a better first experience with Rover. We would absolutely trust her with our pup again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will love and care for their dog like family! ❤️🐶
We were nervous to leave our near 1 yr old dog for vacation, as this would be her first time, but she meshed really well when we went to visit Asmita, and although still nervous she did really great. Asmita really made sure to make her feel at home and sent us tons of photos, showing her not only surviving, but seeming to enjoy herself. This is more than we could hope for. Would definitely recommend Asmita to others and use her services again.

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.
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.
94% of sitters in Cerritos can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this 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 Cerritos home-away-from-home, we recommend 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 Cerritos.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Cerritos. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
You and your Cerritos 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 Rover Guarantee, 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.
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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
