“Nicole took great care of our dog while we were on vacation. Not only did she walk and care for our dog daily, she communicated regularly and checked in whenever she had questions. She is personable, attentive to details, and a total natural when it comes to caring for pets. We would totally ask Nicole to care for our pet again and highly recommend her to other pet owners.”
“Lissi did a wonderful job of taking care of my 3 pets would definitely leave them in her hands again. The videos are super cute she sends and is very responsive and accommodating when asked to do something. Would definitely recommend her to anyone who needs a sitter.”
“We are so thankful for Hannah! We haven’t even had our puppy a week and underestimated the ability to leave him on our work days, Hannah was able to come over a couple times throughout the day to take him out and play with him. So communicate and patient with me as a first time puppy parent.”
About: I was recently accepted to Cornell University for veterinary school and have some time to spare for your fur babies before I leave in August! I worked one year for a nonprofit veterinary service called CAMP clinics and another year at an emergency and specialty medicine pet hospital. At home I own a sweet Labrador retriever named Luna and a sassy hamster named Davinci. I am comfortable with giving oral medications if your pet is able to take them in a treat without being restrained. ✨ New to Rover? Use code NATALV52479 for $20 off your first booking ✨ I am free until August, but will be going to Asia from April 14th-June 10th (with some weeks in May that I will be back) as a final trip before starting vet school. Besides those dates I am fully available to help care for your pet whenever convenient for you. I love taking my dog for a walk in the park or playing tug of war/fetch in the evenings. I have a very active dog and would love to play with yours! I understand that dogs may have certain anxieties regarding their surroundings or other people/animals and take great care to make sure they are comfortable and properly cared for.
About: I’m a passionate animal lover who truly enjoys spending time with dogs and providing the personalized care they deserve. I’m patient, trustworthy, and compassionate, and I treat every dog like they’re part of my own family. Whether it’s a walk, playtime, or cuddles, I make sure each pet feels safe, loved, and happy. I can offer weekday walks starting early morning walks 6-8am afternoon walks between 12-2pm and evening walks 6-9pm. I am also available on the weekends and am flexible with your time preference. As each dog is different I know their care is different as well. Currently in my home I have a senior dog that requires medication 2 times a day and a 5month puppy who requires a lot of attention and patience. I understand the challenges and dedication it takes to take care of a pet.
“Stefanie is AWESOME! You cannot find a better pet sitter! My family and I were looking for a professional pet sitter who had experience working with senior dogs with special needs. My dog, Athena, requires a specific diet with medications and is almost blind. I booked Stefanie for three afternoon "drop-ins". She came a week before our booking for a meet and greet and the years of experience working in an animal hospital and taking care of pets became evident instantly. Stefanie knew how to to help my blind dog feel comfortable by allowing Athena to approach her and initiate the interactions. She is such a professional, taking notes, asking questions, and going over my instructions, helping to ensure that the drop-ins were going to go as smoothly as possible for Athena. Stefanie has a very strong work ethic. She is extremely punctual and reliable. Athena requires a specific diet and medications have to be given in a specific amount and order. Stefanie followed my instructions perfectly. She kept me regularly updated with detailed texts and many photos, including how she prepared Athena's food. She even cleaned her water bowl every day. Stefanie did so many wonderful things for Athena and went above and beyond the booking. My family and I are not only impressed with her sense of responsibility, but her patience and kindness towards our precious girl is priceless. Athena showed how much she trusts Stefanie by wagging her tail when she arrived and allowing Stefanie to give her a belly rub. This is huge for a blind dog. Athena was even looking for her the next couple of days. Clearly, Athena trusted Stefanie with her care and so do I. My family and I plan to book Stefanie again and again! She is a rare gem and (we are) so grateful to her!”
“I would be asking her again when I need help. She was wonderful. I had many requests during a one hour visit and she did everything! My baby also seemed she had a good time with her. Thank you!”
About: Caring for family pets since for the past twelve years, walking, feeding, bathing, and taking care of a variety of breeds of all different sizes I am currently working part time, so I have plenty of free time to fit your pet into my schedule. Weekdays and afternoons are best. I have a high fenced yard with a securely latching gate and plenty of play space, with a single friendly dog willing to keep your pet company
About: I’ve always felt a strong affinity and love towards animals for as long as I can remember ❤️ It’s beautiful how we can build such special relationships with a cat/dog or other pet! I’ve worked in an emergency animal hospital for two years as a vet assistant. I can handle and love on dogs of any breeds and any size, cats too! Any special needs your baby requires, I can handle as well. Medications, personality quirks, anything your dog/cat needs is my top priority. I’m currently going to school full time which keeps me busy on Mondays and Wednesdays but available for drop ins the morning until 12pm on those days. The other days of the week I have all the time to take care of your babies! Having worked at an emergency animal hospital for two years, you can rest assured that your baby is in the best care possible. I own four cats myself, and I will treat your dog/cat as my own as we get to know each other :) On a side note, I would love to take a pet portrait of your baby! Photography is one my hobbies and I would be happy to gift you a beautiful picture included if you book me for house-sitting! Examples found in my account photos. 😄
“Lindsay is the best! We are moving out of area and we are so sad about having to find another dog walker. Tonight on her walk with Crystal, Lindsay encountered a crazy cat that kept trying to attack our little dog. She is such a good protector that not only did she try to shoo away the cat, but she carried Crystal all the way home when the cat kept trying to attack her! ??? #dogwalkeraward”
About: I’ve had a dog before and I started loving all kinds of animals since I was little. I also have some fish (most were goldfish, and right now I have a Betta fish), a rabbit, etc. I am pretty much free except for when there is a home nhl (hockey) game I love them so much that I’m currently in school to become a veterinarian. Your pet or loved one will be in safe hands with me. I will also do my best in making your love one feel comfortable and loved when your at work or on vacation and can not bring them with you. If you have a very active pet it is fine with me and if you do not that’s fine with me too. I currently work part time and during my down time I would love to broaden my career with my veterinarian degree and passion for them. I will always make sure they are secure and safe before any walks. If I see any other fur buddies coming our way during our adventurous walks I will cross the street (when safe) to make sure everyone is comfortable. Your fur buddy will have tons of belly rubs, lots of play times multiple walks and potty breaks throughout the day. Also if okay they will also get positive reinforcement with treats.
“Jessica was so flexible with our schedule and was so helpful. She sent so many pictures of our kitty’s and gave us peace of mind while we were gone! Thank you Jessica😁”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 9! I provide reliable, personalized pet care with experience handling puppies, senior pets, medication administration, routine reinforcement, exercise, and regular updates for owners. I am currently a college student! So I would have time to check in on the baby’s, have some fun walks, and make sure everyone is safe and sound. At home, I have two small dogs they are both maltese boys. I make sure they are fed on time, have their daily walks, and I spend quality time with them! I sometimes even like to take them shopping. I would be willing to cater to whatever the pup/owner wants!
About: I’m an experienced pet sitter with a strong background caring for both cats and dogs. I have three cats of my own, including one with asthma, and I regularly administer his medication and closely monitor his health and behavior. I’m very attentive to routines, cleanliness, and making sure cats feel comfortable and secure. I also have an AKC-trained dog, so I’m familiar with reinforcing basic training, structure, and daily routines. I’ve pet sat for others in their homes and am experienced with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, basic grooming, and following care instructions carefully. I’m also a pet photographer, which has made me especially patient and observant of animal behavior. I work from home, which allows me to be flexible and present throughout the day for pet care. My schedule easily accommodates feedings, walks, medication, playtime, and check-ins without pets being left alone for long periods. I also do photography on the side, which gives me additional flexibility in planning my day. I’m reliable, responsive, and able to adjust my schedule to meet your pet’s specific needs. I prioritize safety, routine, and clear communication in every home I care for. I carefully follow all instructions and maintain a calm, clean environment for pets. I have reliable transportation and my own car, allowing me to travel easily for drop-ins, house sitting, or emergency needs if they arise. I’m respectful of clients’ homes, attentive to behavior and health changes, and committed to providing dependable, thoughtful care at all times.
About: I grew up in a neighborhood that had many animals, and I would help take care of them. I am friendly, and most animals are comfortable with me from the start. I have been volunteering at an animal shelter since February of this year. I'm not able to have pets in my current apartment and missed being around animals. Due to this, I decided to volunteer at the animal shelter. The animal shelter has taught me how to work with animals that have disabilities, elderly and puppies. I currently work in the legal field and would like to do something that makes me happy after a day in the office. I now am the stepmom to two loving, and beautiful cats named Momo and Saya.

Cerritos pet parents share their Rover experiences
Bronte took a last-minute booking to look after our cat Pacho, which we really appreciated. She had no issues handling his picky eating and daily routine. She is reliable, communicative, and clearly loves animals. We would recommend her without hesitation to other pet parents!
Hana took excellent care of my dog while I was away for four days. She was always punctual, followed all feeding and care instructions carefully, and made sure my dog got regular walks and attention. She provided prompt updates and was very responsive whenever I had questions. It gave me great peace of mind knowing my pet was in such capable and caring hands. I would definitely use her services again.
We’ve used Michelle twice now, and she has taken great care of our two cats both times, including a week-long stay recently. She is responsible, dependable, and gave us peace of mind while we were away. We appreciated knowing our cats were being well cared for and wouldn’t hesitate to use her again in the future
Livio and Chen took great care of our cat Micky this past week! They were super communicative and kept us updated throughout with lots of pix and videos of Micky. They also brought to our attention a potential concern to follow up on which we really appreciate!
This is my second time booking with Asmita to take care of my two cats, and once again, she provided amazing service. She is very easy to work with, attentive, and always made sure my cats were well taken care of. She regularly refilled their water, followed all of my requests and instructions, and even helped take care of my mail and packages, which I truly appreciated. What I appreciated the most was the constant updates through pictures and videos, which gave me peace of mind while traveling and being away from my cats. Most importantly, she spent quality time with them and made them feel comfortable and cared for. I will definitely continue working with Asmita whenever I travel, and her service has always been 100%.
Evan was absolutely wonderful with Morrie! From the start, he was communicative, reliable, and clearly a true animal lover. Morrie came home happy and relaxed, which tells me everything I need to know. Evan sent updates that gave me real peace of mind while I was away. I never had to wonder how things were going. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pet like their own, Evan is your person. We’ll definitely be booking again!
OMG! I cannot even BEGIN to say how GRATEFUL I AM to have Jessica watch my furbabies! This is my 1st time using Rover & I wasn't worried for one MINUTE that they weren't in the BEST CARE! She made sure my guy got his insulin shots on TIME & even THOUGH the Princessa didn't HONOR Jessica with her presence, she was still so happy to see me when I got home & was no worse for wear! I would recommend her to anyone looking for caring, responsible person to take care of your precious babies, Jessica is it! You won't regret it!
Selena did a great job taking care of my dog, BB. Before coming over, she asked about his routine, personality, and my preferences, which immediately made me feel comfortable leaving him with her. She made sure BB was fed, comfortable, and not lonely, and she actually spent time playing with him in the backyard and giving him attention instead of rushing through the visit. I felt really at ease trusting Selena in our home (which means a lot with all the horror stories you hear). She sent updates and plenty of photos, and BB looked happy and relaxed the whole time. She’s kind, reliable, and easy to communicate with—I’d definitely book her again! 🐶✨
