“We were SO grateful to have found Chloe. She is a great “baby”-sitter. She sent us so many cute pictures of the girls. Our girls were very comfortable with her. We had them with another sitter recently (and our dogs came back very stressed). With Chloe, we came back to happy healthy dogs! Lots of pictures of our anxious girl who doesn’t trust anyone else sleeping her usual “belly up” position which she only does when she feels safe. And a few sweet cuddle photos just after a day. On a practical note - she respected our house & our boundaries which was very appreciated. Followed all the routines. Took them on walks. We are very picky & we have full faith that you can trust her with your pets 😊”
“Veronica was so sweet, communicative and sent SO MANY photos of my dog which i really appreciate! I highly recommend her for anyone looking for a fun, communicative and overall wonderful sitter!”
“Amy was great with Rosie. In her notes to me, I could tell that Amy understood Rosie’s personality and habits, which reassured me that they were getting along (and doing what Rosie prefers). Amy was in contact with me daily and provided photos. She met with me and Rosie a few times before she house-sat for us, which helped my dog and me feel more comfortable. Amy is a wonderful pet sitter & I recommend her.”
“We love Alex! Alex takes beautiful care of our fur babies and tortoise and our home. We never have to worry, they are in great hands while we are away. Alex sends wonderful photos and makes recommendations that we greatly appreciate. We highly recommend Alex.”
About: Hello! My name is Layla and I am currently a full-time college student with extra time on my hands, my schedule can be extremely flexible on the days that I am available. I feel being a pet sitter suits me because a. I love animals, b. I’m very attentive and organized, and c. Earning a wage by hanging out/taking care of your fur babies sounds like a dream! I currently have two big dogs and one cat that I care for almost every day. I take the dogs for walks, play fetch with them, and take them out to go potty. I love spoiling my cat with new stimulating toys, cat trees, and lots of cuddles 🥰 I’m currently a full-time student with some spare time, a part-time job seems too much for me to handle while also engaging in school. I adore animals and it would be amazing to earn money while spending time and caring for them 🥲 A list offered of how you want me to care for your pet is preferred. I understand pets can have different quirks and I’m totally adaptable to anything that’s thrown at me. I love animals and their unique personalities! I’d like to follow your routine to care for your animal, just like you never left!
“Tracy was wonderful. Our dog (Great Dane) was very comfortable with her and well taken care of. She was responsive, sent pictures throughout her stay and will definitely be using her services again. 5 stars!!”
“Cristian went over and above our expectations. Kept us up to date sent photos and just provided complete reassurance we didn't need to stress over our dogs and home while on vacation. Highly recommend and our best experience to date using Rover. 5 stars plus!!!”
About: With several years of experience as a dog mom to a Cockapoo and a foster mom to various breeds, including a Husky, I've developed a deep understanding of canine behavior and needs. In addition to caring for my own pets, I've provided temporary homes for dogs awaiting rehoming, ensuring they receive proper care and attention. This hands-on experience has honed my skills in managing dogs of different sizes and temperaments, making me well-equipped to handle diverse canine clients. My background reflects a strong commitment to animal welfare and a genuine passion for providing quality care to dogs. As a recent graduate, I am available to start immediately and am seeking employment opportunities during the summer months. I am flexible with scheduling and can accommodate various shifts, including weekends and evenings, to meet the needs of your pet. As a dog walker, I am committed to providing personalized and attentive care for each canine client. Drawing from my experience as a dedicated pet mom and a foster mom to various breeds, I understand the unique needs of different dogs. I tailor each walk to suit the individual dog's age, health, and energy levels, ensuring they receive appropriate exercise and mental stimulation. I prioritize safety by carrying essential items such as water, a collapsible bowl, and waste bags. I maintain open communication with pet owners, providing updates and addressing any concerns promptly. Additionally, I am vigilant about environmental hazards, such as hot pavement or harmful plants, and adjust walking routes accordingly to ensure the dog's well-being
“Highly recommend. Was available in very short notice for dog sitting. Constant communication the entire time. Took very good care of our Frenchie. Will definitely be booking her again.”
“Britney is amazing, her promptness, attention to detail made my experience wonderful, i could see her experience with Freeway.I will definitely use her services again and definitely recommend her…”

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.

I am comfortable caring for all types of animals, just let me know! :)

“Sarah was wonderful! She took care of my three furry babies while we were out of town for a few days. After meeting with her prior the sit I knew they would be in good hands and we left town with peace of mind. I have an energetic puppy, a senior dog with mobility issues and a bossy bunny. Sarah was able to tend to their specific needs. She is detail oriented, communicative and well organized. I would definitely book her services again!”
About: I have over 20 years of experience raising pets and have undergone professional training in veterinary care; I know how to care for both puppies and senior dogs. Pet care is a prioritized part of my weekly schedule. My typical routine includes dedicated blocks of time every day for pet activities: energetic morning walks, engaging mid-day play or check-ins, and relaxing evening walks. By keeping a stable schedule, I help pets maintain their regular home routines, minimizing stress and ensuring they get plenty of exercise and affection every day. 这个问题在 Rover 上主要是向宠主展示你对两种场景（自己家寄养 vs 客户家上门/代看）的具体照顾细节，突出你的安全性、环境适应能力和对宠主隐私/财产的尊重。 你可以直接使用以下模版，涵盖了这两种场景的回答： 推荐综合回答（兼顾自己家与客户家） In My Home (Boarding / Daycare): When pets stay at my home, I treat them like family! I keep my living space clean, fully pet-proofed, and completely safe. They have a designated comfortable spot for sleeping and resting, as well as plenty of room for indoor play. I strictly follow their familiar routine from home—including feeding schedules, exercise times, and potty breaks—to help them settle in comfortably and feel stress-free. In Your Home (House Sitting / Drop-in Visits / Dog Walking): When caring for pets in your home, my top priority is maintaining their comfort, security, and normal daily routine in their own environment. I carefully follow all of your care instructions, respecting your home and personal privacy at all times. Whether it’s giving timed meals, providing engaging play, cleanups, or walking, I ensure your pet stays happy and comfortable. Plus, I always keep you updated with photos and messages after every visit!
“Andrea is a great companion for our dogs when we go out of town. She is a great communicator and lets us know how they're doing throughout our time away. She is also very respectful of our home and leaves it in excellent condition. Highly recommend her services!”
“Angela is amazing! She houses sat and watched my Honey for 3 days while we were out of town. She kept us updated morning and night and sent lots of photos. Thank you Angela for spoiling our baby.”

We are very picky & we have full faith that you can trust her with your pets 😊
Kelli went above and beyond for my (scaredy) cat, leaving her food in places she could easily access so she would easily eat from her hiding place. Her communication was very thorough and ongoing, including a friendly meet n greet where she won over my preschooler, daily texts, and a photo when my cat finally showed herself! Kelli is an excellent pet sitter who I can definitely recommend.
We had a wonderful first-time experience using Rover, and we feel so lucky to have found Amy. She provided frequent updates and photos of our fur baby—just enough to reassure us that he was doing well and give us peace of mind while we were on vacation. Amy truly went above and beyond. She spent quality time cuddling with him, took him on extra walks, and even kindly took out the trash for us. We will definitely be booking Amy again in the future and highly recommend her to our coworkers and friends!
We had a fantastic experience with Lauren, who stayed in our home for a full week. Our dogs were happy, relaxed, and clearly very well cared for while we were away. We loved receiving regular updates and photos—it gave us so much peace of mind. Our home was left clean and well cared for, and communication was excellent from start to finish. It was clear our dogs were treated with genuine care and attention. We have had several past bookings with Lauren and have several more booked in the future. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, dependable Rover sitter.
Katya did a nice job . She had good rapport with Cassidy as well as taking good care of her.She also took care of my tortoise. She left the house clean and tidy. I really appreciated the care she took of my senior dog with the intricate feeding schedule I have for her.

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 Whittier 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 Whittier 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 Whittier 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.
