About: I have over 10 years of hands on experience caring for animals including dogs, cats, and farm animals. I’ve cared for my own pets as well as pets belonging to family, friends, and neighbors, and I’m comfortable with animals of different sizes, personalities, and temperament. I also have firsthand experience caring for young puppies after my own dog had a litter, which taught me how much attention, patience, and care younger animals can require. What sets me apart is that I’m patient, attentive, and take the responsibility of caring for someone else’s pet seriously. I pay close attention to each animals behavior and wellbeing, follow the owners care instructions, and make sure their pet feels safe and comfortable. I’m also happy to provide regular updates so owners can have peace of mind while their pet is in my care. I’m currently a part-time student, so my schedule varies throughout the week, but I have plenty of flexibility to provide attentive and reliable pet care. I’m available for house sitting Friday–Sunday and for dog walks and drop-in visits Monday–Thursday. My hours may vary depending on the day, but I’ll always make sure I can accommodate your pet’s needs and routine before accepting a booking. For house sitting, I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine and any care instructions you provide to help them stay comfortable while you’re away. I’ll make sure they have fresh food and water, regular potty breaks, playtime and attention, and a clean and safe environment. I’ll also respect your home and make sure doors, gates, and other areas are properly secured. For dog walks, I’ll keep your dog safely leashed and pay close attention to our surroundings throughout the walk. I’ll follow any instructions you provide regarding their usual route, behavior around other dogs or people, and anything else I should be aware of to keep them safe and comfortable. For drop-in visits, I’ll check on your pet and take care of their needs according to your instructions, including feeding, refreshing their water, potty breaks, cleaning up after them, and giving them attention and playtime. I’ll also keep you updated on how your pet is doing so you can have peace of mind while they’re in my care.

About: Hello! My name is Jada. I have an 11-year-old Shih Tzu that lives like a king! Though he is a couch potato, he enjoys walks, playing fetch, and going on car rides in his car seat! I’ve had pets my entire life and have experience caring for ones with special needs and diets. Any and all instructions you inform me of will be followed with the utmost care to keep your pet satisfied! I am currently a full-time college student, however, I have a full house. Therefore, my family and I collaborate and have a ton of time on our hands to care for and spend time with your pets! My dog is always indoors when not supervised and is afraid of the steps at all exits so no gates are needed, but I ensure that your dog will be supervised at all times when inside and out. Whatever instructions I am given will be followed to ensure that your pet's routine is maintained and they remain comfortable.
“Julianne was amazing! I rarely go out of town because my Aussie is super anxious and very quirky, but I had to leave for work for a few days, and Julianne took SUCH great care of her. When I got back, Piper was so calm, relaxed, and clearly felt safe the entire time. That honestly says everything. Julianne was patient, gentle, and really tuned into what my dog needed, and she communicated clearly while I was away. I could tell she took the time to help her settle in and feel comfortable. It gave me so much peace of mind! 10/10 recommend and will book again!”

About: I’m the proud dad of three beautiful dogs and have grown up around animals my whole life. For over 10 years, I’ve been welcoming dogs into my home, pet sitting, and dog walking. I love animals and know how much trust it takes to leave yours in someone else’s care. Every dog has their own personality, and I enjoy getting to know what makes them feel comfortable, happy, and loved. With three dogs of my own, pet care is already a big part of my everyday life. Walks, meals, playtime, and quiet time together are part of my routine. Before booking, I’ll talk with you about your pet’s schedule so we can make sure I’m a good fit for their needs. I want your pet to feel safe and comfortable in their own home, and you to feel at ease while you’re away. I’ll follow your instructions for meals, walks, playtime, and any special needs, keeping their routine as familiar as possible. I’ll treat your home with care and respect and send photos and updates so you know how your pet is doing.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was a kid – we always had family animals, and I grew up feeding, walking, and bathing them. I had a Golden Retriever and a 6 years old cat so I’m used to high‑energy pups and know how to keep them happy, safe, and well‑exercised. You’ll get daily photo updates, so you can relax while you’re away. I can easily fit in walks or drop‑in visits anytime during the day, evening, or weekends. I’m available Monday through Friday from morning to night, and fully open on Saturdays and Sundays. If your pets needs extra attention (e.g., after surgery or just separation anxiety), I can even be home full‑time for a day – just let me know in advance. When I care for your pets in your home, I always start with a safety check – making sure doors, windows, and gates are secure, and removing any hazards like toxic plants or small objects. I’ll follow your feeding and guidelines precisely, and I always ask about things to look for ahead of time. You’ll get daily photo updates and a quick message after each visit – so you can relax knowing your pet is safe and happy.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - East Los Angeles
I have two senior dogs who require special care, and they both have very different needs. Vivian was incredibly attentive, caring, and patient with both of them. She even administered medication to one of my dogs and hand-fed both of them when needed. This was my first time using a dog sitter, so I was definitely nervous and worried about leaving them. Vivian gave me peace of mind and made me feel much more comfortable knowing they were in good hands. I really appreciate how caring and attentive she was, and I would definitely recommend Vivian to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate sitter!
Megan is absolutely wonderful! My timid cat was instantly smitten with her. He usually hides. It's truly heartwarming to see them bond so quickly. She has such a special way with animals, creating a safe and loving environment. I highly recommend her services to any pet parent.
Jen was absolutely wonderful with Bogart. She is caring and compassionate and a lovely person! She cooked for him and was patient with Bogart's needs as an 18 year-old dog. She was sending me pictures and updates regularly and he was so peppy and happy after spending time with her. I know Bogart would love to spend time with her again!
Yureli and Kairo were awesome. They were in constant communication with us, sending daily pictures and videos and even offering to FaceTime so we could talk to our doggies. They were kind and attentive to the pups, taking genuine care and giving them lots of love. And they kept the apartment super clean, even going so far as to wash everything before they left. We will definitely be booking them again!
The best gift when you can't take your companions on a trip is to know someone will take care of them and give you a peace of mind. Ashley did. She is amazing and is a great communicator. I left behind a 14 year old blob and a 6 years skittish lab and I was worried about the younger pup. It was the 14 year old senior that kept Ashley up at night. Ashley kept me posted on the situation, we kept the communication open to make sure Hunter is ok. Things happened but the best way to know how awesome your substitute is, is to experience their problem solving ability. Ashley got everything under control. I highly recommend Ashley and would love to get her help again. She is definitely more than 5 stars rating.

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 East Los Angeles 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 East Los Angeles 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 East Los Angeles 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!
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 .
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
