“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 was able to accommodate me on short notice. Upon meeting, she took her time to really get to know my dog, her preferences, how she plays, what treats/toys she likes, etc. Lissi also sent multiple photos and videos of Rumi and provided updates on her potties and even worked on teaching my dog new tricks! She went above and beyond and her love for dogs was very apparent :) Highly recommend to anyone looking for dog sitting/walking/boarding services!”
“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.”
“Andrea was amazing with our little gato! Between detailed messages, great pictures, reviews of his behavior, and enhanced communication we were beyond impressed with the care she provided our furry boy. We would highly recommend her services and care to anyone in need of a pet sitter!”
About: Owning two dogs who are both 10, I’ve had lots of hands on experience taking care of dogs of any age. I have experience with walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and most importantly I want every dog I take care of to feel loved! I’m currently not working, so I have plenty of time to take care of your puppies! I’m available most weekdays and weekends, so I have a super flexible schedule. I always prioritize each pet’s safety, comfort, and routine while caring for them in their own home. I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, and any house rules to help keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible. I’ll make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure, keep the home clean and tidy, and provide plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I understand that every pet has different needs, and I’ll treat your home and your pets with the same care and respect as I would my own.
About: I’ve been with dog since I was very young and adopted mine own on 2020 July from a rescue center in Henry, CA. I’m so lucky to have him (Noodie) with us since then. He’s our youngest family member and definitely got spoiled. =) Just let me know in advance and I’ll try to accommodate. I am working from home so could be flexible. Pretty early morning and late afternoon and evening to avoid excessive heat. My Noodie has been spoiled for sure. He used to be having separation anxiety however after those past year confidence and trust we build among everyone in this family, he’s right now totally fine with stay home on his own.
About: For over a decade I have honed my knowledge of how to care for cats and dogs in both a volunteer and professional job setting as a Kennel Attendant. Now I wish to use those skills to make sure your pets are pampered and healthy whike life takes you elsewhere! Its important for animals to stick to a routine so I make sure food, water, enrichment, and exercise are given everyday! During summer and winter holidays i'll be available full time. During spring and summer semester I'll have classes in the afternoon but excluding those few hours a day and making sure my own animals are cared for I should be available to make your animals the priority! Household rules differ so Id love to receive instructions on what you specifically want and need for me to prioritize! By default.I will feed and water your animals, provide company and enrichment, allow regular acess to restroom areas and provide at least two walks a day though I am welcome for requests for more!
“This was our first time using Rover and meeting Stefanie. Our kitties who are normally shy with other people took a liking to her really quickly. Stefanie was really thorough in making sure that she had all the information she would need while we were gone, and it was clear from her daily Rover Cards and communication that she really cared about taking great care of our kitties. We will definitely look for Stefanie the next time we need a pet sitter!”
“I booked Sue for a last-minute trip, and she was quick to respond and took wonderful care of my cat, Oreo. He’s usually independent, but he absolutely adored Sue and would look forward to her visits! I’m so grateful for her care and would gladly have her watch Oreo anytime.”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is that I treat every pet as if they were my own while also focusing on building a real bond and understanding their individual personality. I don’t just provide basic care—I take the time to earn their trust so they feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. I’m also very comfortable with senior pets who may need a slower pace, extra patience, medication reminders, gentle walks, and a calm, reassuring presence. I am also happy to reinforce basic training, provide mental stimulation through play and enrichment activities, and accommodate senior pets who may need extra patience and gentle care. I am not here to just take care of your pet while you’re away I’m here to treat it as my own and that requires real bonding and giving it so much love that I would want for my own fur baby . I’m currently not working as why I decided to look into something I love doing. My dream has always been to work with animals as I grew up drawing horses, dogs, and cats ! I always knew it is something I aspired to be around :) I have a dog of my own he is 8 years very friendly but can ask for his own space as he is older although he is obsessed with tiny dog haha! My fur baby is potty trained and does not use a crate. He can be wherever he likes wether it’s the couch the bed or the floor if he prefers. if u crate train your pup I can work with that for you. Caring for a pet in your home I will do as u please me to. If you have a specific routine for your pets I am willing to do whatever it takes to make u feel satisfied and happy that your pet is being cared for in the comfort of your own home ! <3
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.
“She was such a sweetheart with my grouchy dog. Although she wasn't able to walk my dog because my dog wouldn't let her, Lindsay would try to make her feel comfortable so that my dog can trust her. Lindsay would clean after my dog and even looked after my cat and cleaned his litter. I loved her effort in trying to win my dog's trust which makes me comfortable that i can hired her again. Thanks Lindsay!”
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.
About: Patient & Attentive: I take the time to learn each pet’s personality and routines, ensuring they feel safe and relaxed in my care. • Deep Understanding of Needs: Having been a lifelong pet owner and professional sitter for 3+ years, I instinctively recognize subtle cues—whether it’s when they want to play, cuddle, or need a nap. • Experienced Medication Administration: From daily pills to injections, I’m trained and confident in giving medications accurately and on schedule, so you never have to worry. • Customized Care Plans: I adapt walks, playtime, feeding, and downtime to suit each animal’s energy level, health requirements, and behavior style. • Reliable & Trustworthy: Your home and pets are in safe hands—I’m punctual, communicative, and committed to providing updates so you can enjoy peace of mind. My schedule is flexible according to you! I can do any time and any day I am flexible and adjusting. If you need me for a specific time frame I can adjust my schedule to yours Personalized Attention: I learn each pet’s routines and preferences—meal times, favorite toys, and cuddle spots—to keep them comfortable and content. • Safe Exercise & Play: Walks and play sessions are tailored to your pet’s energy level and health needs, ensuring fun while preventing overexertion. • Medication & Special Needs: With experience administering pills, liquids, and injections, I follow vet‑approved instructions precisely and monitor for any side effects. • Calm, Patient Handling: I move at your pet’s pace, allowing shy or senior animals to warm up gradually and extroverted pets to burn off energy safely. • Regular Check‑Ins: I observe behavior, appetite, and activity levels closely—so even subtle changes are caught early and communicated to you.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Cerritos
We are very lucky to have found Lissi to help watch our fur baby when we are away. Our fur baby is our family, and it is very hard for us to leave her alone, yet Lissi made it easy for us to be able to enjoy our time off knowing our baby is taken care of. She is very great with communicating, very friendly, and respectful. You can tell she cares a lot about animals, and that gives us a peace of mind.
Jennifer was kind, caring, and compassionate. She treated sunny with care and love. In addition, she gave us daily updates on how sunny was doing. I would highly recommend her to any pet owner. Sunny is usually afraid of strangers, but she immediately warmed up to Jennifer . Jennifer was asked to administer a complicated set of instructions for care of sunny, including handling medication and specific food. She did this very well and we are well pleased with her.
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! 🐶✨

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Cerritos on Rover is $16.65 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 21,484 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Cerritos. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Cerritos stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Cerritos. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
