“We had such a wonderful experience with Jack while we were away on a European vacation! He did an absolutely amazing job taking care of our two Maltese dogs, saltwater fish & freshwater aquariums. The pups responded to him quickly, which gave us tremendous peace of mind while we were so far away. He was also a fantastic communicator, sending us pictures and videos of the dogs every day. It was so reassuring and special to see them happy, comfortable, and well cared for while we were away. We are incredibly grateful for the wonderful care he gave our pups and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and dependable. We will definitely be asking him to watch our dogs again!”
About: Pending on parents wishes, we take walks, play, I will have doggie toys or they can bring their own. I can do medication, including injections, give them breakfasts and snacks pending parents bringing what the babies like Im currently available everyday, once I start my daily job, I can still stay at your homes, and walk, feed and play. And all day onweekends, mindful that I am available now 24/7 I have a fenced yard, no other doggies on property. I always say less is more when it comes to meeting a new pup no matter the age. This is to gain trust with myself and them.
“Lissi was amazing with our anxious German Shepherd, Nala! She was patient, gentle, and quickly earned Nala’s trust. Lissi kept her mentally engaged and physically active with running, play, and training, and also took great care of our home while house-sitting. We loved the photo updates and came home to a happy, relaxed pup. Highly recommend!”
“V did such an amazing job watching my baby. She was super communicative and sent me tons of pictures! He looked so happy and was in a great mood when I got home (: will definitely book with her again and highly recommend her!”

About: Hello, I currently work at a doggy daycare named St. Tropawz. It can become quite busy, meaning I'm familiar with caring for up to 15 dogs at any given time. I'm particularly fond of Dobermans and high energy breeds like Huskies. I understand how to work with a dogs temperament to keep everyone safe during sudden unforeseen events. I work part time at a doggy daycare located in Rosemead California named St. Tropawz. Outside of that I'm a student, currently learning Linux and cybersecurity after having been in the cannabis industry for 7 years. I'm familiar with how to approach pets that are unfamiliar with me but would greatly appreciate meeting your pet alongside you to help establish trust. I currently have a senior Husky named whiskie who is ten and a half years of whom I take for daily walks while riding my longboard. That way he gets to stretch his legs and go for a nice run or jaunt jog. While working at the doggy daycare, I will at times look after dogs who are a bit skittish. I understand the importance in giving a dog space and allowing them the time and patience needed to warm up to new individuals. I also was taught by my parents to respect another persons home. I like to think the way we interact with the world around us is a reflection of how we were raised and a mirror to our inner world. With that in mind I will pay careful mind to your space, your instructions and your pets!
“So happy with Kayla’s services! Second time around, and felt so relaxed on my trip knowing my house and baby, Chloe, were safe. Kayla sent many photos and videos of my happy pup playing or cuddling with her. Kayla even let Chloe sleep with her. Came back to a happy dog and clean home -super respectful and followed all instructions with Chloe to a tee. Not sure who Ioves Kayla more, Chloe or myself!”
“Amazing dog person. Very easy to talk with and his experience really helped guided me and my dog. Would highly recommend for first timers or anyone one looking for a caring knowledgeable caretaker.”

I make sure to keep the environment clean, that rubbish and recycling are taken out and that the pets remain as comfortable and safe as possible.
“I was thoroughly pleased with Cheryl! She was honest, responsive, and very kind. This was my first time using Rover so I had asked her to meet with me before I even booked. She used her time to come and meet with me and my dog which put my mind at ease. Cheryl kept in contact with me sending sweet pictures and any concerns she had for my dog. She went above and beyond and cleaned my home before she left. This was the first time I’ve ever gone on vacation and was completely comfortable that my dog was being loved and well taken care of. I will definitely use Cheryl in the future.”
“Maria did an amazing job with my dog Stella. Stella is a special needs dog and she was attentive to her needs and made sure everything was great for her. She took a lot of pictures and always let me know what was going on. I wouldn't hesitate to Maria a second time.”

About: I have owned dogs and cats for over 13 years. I have had special needs dog for a year, which taught me to be patient and very loving with our little loyal friends in times of need, I have had a cat that was very unfriendly to our dog so I was building their friendly relationship, and I’ve had Caucasian Shepherd that was very tough to control, but I was loving to train them and take care of them and eventually make them very well trained. I’m a huge dog fan, I love to play with them, exercise with them, just have fun with them. They are my favorite animals. I would be glad to walk your dogs, and take care of them while you are busy, keep up with their diets if required, keep them company while their parents are away, and of course play with them. I am home 24/7 and ready to take full care of your fur babies. I can arrange potty breaks and long walks to your needs. I have a house with a fence and backyard, and a huge green park next door. I have a 4 year old friendliest golden retriever to keep your baby company. I have crate options if it’s needed.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Cerritos
Lissi is absolutely amazing! Soleen was so well taken care of and got lots of TLC and belly rubs ❤️. Lissi is great at following the instructions we left for both our home and furry baby- proactively asked all the proper questions. Left our place just as we left it, very thoughtful. We look have her back. 🫶🏻
Vivienne was wonderful! She follows instructions carefully, is attentive and reliable, very communicative, and genuinely loves on my babies like they are her own. My girls love having her around and she even gets my older girl to play which she’s rarely interested in. I always feel completely comfortable knowing they are in her care!
I was thoroughly pleased with Cheryl! She was honest, responsive, and very kind. This was my first time using Rover so I had asked her to meet with me before I even booked. She used her time to come and meet with me and my dog which put my mind at ease. Cheryl kept in contact with me sending sweet pictures and any concerns she had for my dog. She went above and beyond and cleaned my home before she left. This was the first time I’ve ever gone on vacation and was completely comfortable that my dog was being loved and well taken care of. I will definitely use Cheryl in the future.
We had such a great experience with Sue and are incredibly grateful! She stepped in on very late notice and truly saved our ski trip. From the start, communication was easy and reassuring. Our German Shepherd can be a handful, but Sue handled her with confidence and care. She made sure our dog got plenty of exercise with regular walks, and it was clear she was happy and comfortable the entire time. We really appreciated the updates and the attention she gave her.
Nicole is amazing. We did a few short visits for the dogs to get to know her before our week long trip away. She picked up on our dogs’ personalities very quickly and adapted her energy to match to make it the best possible scenario. She was polite and respectful to both our dogs and our home while we were away. I couldn’t recommend her more and will definitely be reaching out to her on a regular basis for all our sitter needs!
Candy is an absolute gem of a dog sitter! From the moment we connected, I felt completely at ease leaving my dogs in her care. She is reliable, attentive, and genuinely loves animals, which shows in everything she does. Candy kept me updated and treated my dogs like her own. I came home to happy, relaxed pups, which says it all. I wouldn’t hesitate to book Candy again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and wonderful dog sitter.

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 Cerritos 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 Cerritos 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 Cerritos 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!
