“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.”
About: I’ve been an animal lover since birth, and have always had a few dogs my whole life. We fell in love with English Bulldogs and I specialize in bulldog care. But I absolutely love all dogs! I can administer medication, give baths, and troubleshoot any issues that might occur. What to expect: I will treat your fur baby exactly as you would, I will follow directions exactly as you give them. They’ll be treated with love and care. If you book for drop in care, I’ll be sure to give them lots of attention before I leave and make sure all their needs are taken care of before I leave. If you’re booking for daily walks, I will take them around the neighborhood or a nearby park to get lots of exercise and get some energy out. If you’re booking for boarding. We have a large fenced in yard and air conditioned garage with crates. Your pet will receive lots of love in our home! I’ve always been a stay at home mom. I have 3 children who are also animal lovers. I have plenty of time in my day for any schedule that fits your pets needs best. We have a very large fenced in yard, and 4 bulldogs of our own that are all rotated throughout the day from inside to outside. They get daily walks, and there’s plenty of humans to give them lots of love during their stay with us! If I’m doing a daily check in or daily walk, you can trust they’ll be safe in my care. I’m very patient and will go at your animals pace.
“Jess took care of our mini poodle while we were away on a trip, and we couldn’t be any happier that we found her. She sent daily updates with photos so we never had to wonder what was going on. She took him on daily walks and treated him like he was part of her family. Her dog is very well behaved and they got along perfectly fine. Well definitely use Jess again in the future when we can’t bring our pup on a trip.”
“Ozzy had so much fun staying with Ximena and her family. I would recommend her to all and will be coming back when needed. She sent us videos and pictures multiple times a day and knew our pup was in good hands.”
“Thank you, Michael and Lara, for again taking such good care of our boy Dexter. He had such a great time he was hesitant to leave...lol! He is now napping, happy and worn out from doggie play.”
“Jenni was dedicated to keeping me updated on how my puppy was doing. She sent me pictures and texted me about his meals, bathroom breaks, and naps. My puppy loved her so much that he didn’t want to leave. He even met some friends, and from the pictures, it looked like he was having a wonderful time. I’m truly grateful to have met Jenni and look forward to seeing her again.”
“We had a wonderful experience with our dog sitter while we were out of town. They took excellent care of our dog, kept us updated with messages and photos, and gave us peace of mind knowing she was in good hands. Our dog was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. We really appreciated their reliability, kindness, and attention to detail. We would absolutely trust them with our dog again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring and dependable pet sitter.”
“This was Ness’s second time watching our pup Pretzel, and she was just as amazing as the first! Pretzel absolutely adores her, and it’s such a comfort knowing she’s in loving, reliable hands. Ness is warm, communicative, and genuinely cares; can’t recommend her enough. We’ll definitely keep coming back!”
“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”
“Mariah did a good job. I did have to request pictures and updates on the first day but she was consistent on updating me the following days. Would use her again and would recommend her as a cat sitter.”
“I am so thankful for the quality care they provided for my senior dog. They were not only friendly to me but also to my dog who has high degree of separation anxiety with strangers. After the first stay for 10 days with them in April, my dog learned to be separated and be under someone else’s care with no major problems. The sitter’s dog also helped my Hayannie go through transition smoothly. I dropped her off and let her stay another 10 days in June with no worries for they already know my dog. I thank them for special care for my dog who can’t hear and see well. My dog seems well adjusted to Jahyung and Michael’s loving and extra ordinari care.”
“Cheby is amazing. She kept us updated with status and pictures throughout the whole duration. She is also accomodating, we asked to pick up and drop off earlier and she was able to work with us. Absolutely recommended !”
“Sabrina was a wonderful foster mom to our two large dogs while we were out of the country for two weeks. As it turned out, the two week boarding was the first time our pups had stayed overnight with Sabrina. There was obvious anxiety on how it would work out, but Sabrina's daily contact with meaningful messages and studio-like photos quickly put those fears to rest. The insight she provided on our furry children highlighted the attention she was giving them, and also her ability to speak dog. Allowing us to bring our own XL kennels so our dogs could feel more at home was the first sign of her genuine concern for our dogs comfort. We have our dogs on special meal plans which she had no problem accommodating. By the end of our trip we were afraid the dogs wouldn't want to come home with us! I also appreciate her flexibility in allowing us to adjust drop off and pick up times on relatively short notice. I can't say enough on how wonderful it all turned out, I appreciate having connected with her and having her as our foster mom going forward.”
“Cooper had a great stay with Debbie and Will! He was there for a week and came back very happy. Debbie communicated well and sent pictures and videos that were fun. Cooper enjoyed playing with their sweet dog Reba, and it was clear they treated him like family.”
“This was my first time ever using Rover to find a pet sitter and we think we found the pit of gold at the end of the rainbow. Angela was absolutely amazing! My son was extremely worried about leaving his dog with anyone but family for the very first time. But the updates and photos we received put his mind at ease that Pluto was having a great time on his own mini vacation. Thanks to this, we were able to better enjoy our own vacation. I cannot say enough positive things about our first time with Angela and Rover.”
About: As a pet owner myself, I know it can be hard to find a sitter that you can trust to take care of them. I have 3 dogs at home; a small Shi-tzu, a young husky/german sheppard, and a old retriever mix. I also have 2 young cats and I take care of a neighborhood stray. I have always had a soft spot for animals. My mom and I have fostered stray cats, dogs, and watched pets while family friends were on vacation. I may not have much formal training, but if hired I will carefully watch, play, walk, and hangout with your pets, as well as, keep you updated in the process. Every morning I take my 2 dogs out to go, then I fill up their water bowl and let them back in. I give them their breakfast around 10 and then take them on a walk around the park near our neighborhood. We play throughout the day and they keep each other company while I do chores and homework. I feed them around 4:30 or 5 each night and they get a glucosamine biscuit before we go to bed. Sometimes we go on a second walk before bed as well. I have a fenced yard and two friendly fur babies to keep them company! My cats are friendly but if your babies dont like cats, mine will stay in my room. We have some house gates we used to use when our doggies were puppy training, and a very roomy crate for the young husky, so blocking our animals from yours is always an option if necessary. I only ask that you supply their food for their stay if they are on any special food diet.

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! ❤️🐶
Sabrina was an absolute pleasure to work with! She took such wonderful care of our sweet Cooper and made sure he was comfortable, happy, and well cared for the entire time. We especially appreciated the regular text updates and photos—it gave us such peace of mind and was so nice to see how well he was doing. We feel so fortunate to have found Sabrina and would absolutely book with her again. We’re already looking forward to the next time! ❤️
She’s amazing! You can tell that she truly loves dogs. My dog has a lot of anxiety and as soon as I handed her my dog she tried to reassure my dog that it would be okay. She sent me pictures and videos of my dog throughout her stay. My dog looked very happy. I highly recommend her.
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.
The whole family truly loves and cares for animals. My dog usually has a hard time with other owners, but this time he seemed very comfortable and happy. It was also very encouraging to receive photos and updates while I was away. I strongly recommend entrusting your pet to them! 🐶✨️
Jillian was absolutely amazing, I received daily updates and photos of my baby dog. Prior to his boarding, Jillian provided us a tour of his suite and the layout. We also did a a consultation to make sure Maximus would feel comfortable. Everything went smoothly and Maximus absolutely adored Jillian. She took him out on outings and was always on alert taking care of him. They even had special play dates. She cooked special meals for him and made sure he felt safe at all times. I would 1000% hired Jillian to take of my baby dog.

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.
<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 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.
