About: I’ve been around and caring for dogs for 14 years and am a proud owner of two French Bulldogs, ages 14 and 4. Caring for dogs of different ages has taught me how to be patient, attentive, and responsive to each dog’s individual needs. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, baths, and providing lots of love and attention. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, and I’ll treat your pet like my own. I’m currently working part time so I’ll have plenty of time to give your pets the attention and care they deserve. I’m available for walks and drop-ins, including weekends and select weekdays.

About: Hi there! I'm a certified animal lover and lifelong dog person. 🐾 I've grown up with dogs my whole life, and these days my sidekick is my adorable 3-year-old Maltipoo, who keeps me on my toes and reminds me every day why I love caring for pups. I have experience with dogs of all ages—from energetic puppies to sweet senior companions—and I believe every dog deserves patience, kindness, and lots of love. My goal is to make every walk fun, enriching, and stress-free, while making sure your furry family member feels safe and cared for. Safety is always my top priority. I'm responsible, attentive, and always looking for opportunities to learn more about dog behavior, positive training techniques, and how to confidently handle dogs with different personalities and needs. Whether your pup loves long adventures, leisurely sniff walks, or just wants a friendly companion while you're away, I'd be honored to care for them like they're one of my own. I can't wait to meet you and your best friend! I work from home so I have the flexibility to walk your pups or check in any time. Just give me a day's notice and I will respond right away. Safety is my upmost priority. I always make sure to supervise my pups when they are outside. I believe it's very important to always be aware of my surroundings while walking, so I never look at my phone. I love to give lots of cuddles and positive reinforcement.
“Joyce is the best dog sitter I have used. She is very caring and responsible person and will go above and beyond every time. I would definitely recommend her to any dog parents looking for a good dog sitter.”
About: Thoughtful, dependable care and clear communication are at the center of how I approach pet sitting. I’ve always naturally connected with animals and enjoy providing warm, attentive care that helps them feel secure and relaxed while their owners are away. With years of experience caring for dogs and cats through house sitting, drop-in care and overnight stays, I’m very comfortable maintaining pets’ routines and helping them feel settled and comfortable in familiar spaces. I also have experience caring for a variety of animals beyond cats and dogs, including rabbits, fish and reptiles, which has helped me become very attentive, adaptable, and detail-oriented when it comes to animal care. What sets me apart most is my attentiveness, communication and calm presence. I understand how important it is to feel fully comfortable leaving your pets in someone else’s care, so I make it a priority to provide thoughtful updates, photos and dependable care throughout each stay. I’m patient, respectful of your home and strive to care for pets in a way that feels personalized to their needs and personalities. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, loved and comfortable while giving owners peace of mind knowing their pets are in caring and reliable hands. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine, and I’m able to dedicate focused time and attention to the pets I care for throughout the week. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to accommodate drop-ins, house sitting, feeding schedules, playtime and regular companionship depending on each pet’s needs. I understand how important routine and familiarity can be for animals, so I always try to maintain their normal schedule as closely as possible while providing plenty of attention, patience and companionship. I’m very attentive to details such as feeding instructions, walking routines, medications if needed, household preferences and any behavioral or comfort needs your pet may have. I also make it a priority to keep spaces clean, secure and respectful throughout each stay. Communication is very important to me, so I provide regular updates and photos to help owners feel informed and reassured while they’re away.
“Thank you! It was so nice meeting Christina and her husband Sergio. They came over to meet us before they sat for our dogs and we’re very attentive to the details. I can tell that they were well taken care of from the photos and the follow up messages. Christina is very loving and caring and I appreciate her taking the time to play with them. I was out of town that my husband said she did a great job and I would have her back again and again.”
About: Hi! I’m Amanda. I’m located in Whittier. Ready to be your pups new friend and put your mind at ease that your babies are being well cared for with a loyal and trusted person! I’m an animal lover that recently lost my 19 year old dog. I know the anxiety pet parents experience while away from their animals so I do my best to provide your pet a fun staycation with lots of walks, play time, treats, cuddles, and tons of pictures sent to you so you can relax knowing your pet is having a great time. My services are primarily boarding and doggy day care as I have a hybrid job that allows me to work from home most of the time though I occasionally do need to be in office. For boarding, I have a fenced in yard and a great neighborhood for long or short walks. Good at following directions if your pet has specific needs. Unfortunately dogs are not allowed on couches in our home but they are welcome to snuggle in my bed permitting they are groomed and without fleas! Please ensure that your dog is potty trained and not prone to marking furniture inside the home 😊 I work from home most of the time so I’m able to provide multiple walks and lots of play time and plenty of cool spots for napping If your pet follows a routine I’m happy to stick with it! I want them to feel as comfortable as possible when you are away. I want you to feel comfortable too! I’m happy to keep you updated with daily texts and photos about your pet to ease your mind.
About: I will check in on your pet throughout the day, stay in your home if need be, provide walks and day-sitting. I am not currently boarding dogs at this time. I work from 11am-4pm weekdays only.. drop off as early as 6am and pickup as late as 11pm! I work part time 3 days a week close to home and get off at noon, but am able to have a flexible schedule to be available for your pet(s)! I believe in allowing free range to dogs in the home and frequent walks with visits to the park! I have experience with giving medication multiple times a day to elderly dogs and am mindful of weak bladders.
“Bethany is a great dog sitter reliable and dependable. She is very kind to our shy and anxious fur baby Mia. We are repeat customers. Highly recommend booking with her for your dog sitting needs.”
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - East Whittier
This was my first time using a pet sitter for drop-in visits rather than boarding, and I’m so thankful Sugey was available on such short notice! She took the time to do a meet-and-greet a couple of days beforehand, which I felt was beneficial for all of us, especially our cat. Sugey went above and beyond, kept me updated, and even sent pictures during her visits, which gave me peace of mind. I truly appreciated her care and attentiveness and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter! I would definitely book her again to care for our cat.
Jessica went above and beyond taking care of Loki! She was incredibly caring, reliable, and always kept me updated and gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I could tell she genuinely cared about Loki and treated him like her own. She made sure he was comfortable, happy, and getting plenty of attention and love. I’m so grateful I found someone I can trust with Loki, and I’ll definitely be booking with Jessica again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing and trustworthy cat sitter! ❤️
Hazel stopped by to feed and check-in on my orphaned neonatal kitten, and she exceeded expectations! Neonatals require more care like bottle-feeding and expressing, and she did those things no problem. Highly recommend choosing Hazel for your petsitting needs!!
Arika did an incredible job taking care of Orion, our cat while we were away for a week. She brushed him every day, brought interesting toys for him to try out, and gave him lots of amazing care and attention! She even sent pix and videos. She also did small details like bring in the mail and even asked if we needed plants to be watered. She ended up watering our garden boxes which kept our plants alive while we were away. We would highly recommend Arika! She is kind and very professional and we were so happy that our cat had such great care.
My dog has been struggling with a severe flea infestation, and my doctor said that flea exposure is a big no no for me. Layla has been patient with my dog (he’s touchy) and had thoroughly cleaned him of his fleas. There is a noticeable improvement in his mood and itching.
Alicia did amazing checking in on our dog! Even tho the drop in request was last minute, she still accepted and did a great job following instructions. She took him outside for restroom and played with him. He was so happy and warmed up to her almost immediately. Will definitely be booking her again !
Emilia was absolutely fantastic. She walked two dogs I’m currently sitting for, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the start, she was communicative, reliable, and clearly experienced with handling multiple dogs at once. What stood out most was the level of care and attention she gave them. She sent photos during the walk, which was incredibly reassuring and thoughtful. You could tell the dogs were comfortable, engaged, and genuinely enjoying their time with her. When they came back, they were perfectly tired in the best way—calm, happy, and clearly well-exercised. That alone speaks volumes about the quality of her walk and how well she managed their energy. It’s not easy trusting someone else with animals in your care, but Emilia made it effortless. I would absolutely use her again without hesitation and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable, attentive, and professional dog walker.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
