About: I love meeting new pets, and getting to spend time with them, learning new personalities. I often had to watch animals for other military member who needed a pet sitter last minute. Always willing to work with your schedule, even last minute ones for no extra charge. I’ve trained my own personal cats and dogs to do tricks. I currently am working full time, most availability will be on weekends and weekday evenings for drop ins and pet walking. I am willing to work with you if an early morning routine is needed due to my work schedule. I have three cat babies of my own, all who need different stimulations and different foods. I’m no stranger to having to seperate pets to keep them from eating each-others food either. I love playing with kitties before feeding time and walking dogs before they chow down their food. I also don’t mind staying with your pets to make sure they had a full meal.
About: I’ve taken care of both a small and a big dog over the past 4 years, starting back in high school for my friends. Recently, I also did a drop-in visit for a home with 3 dogs and 2 cats, making sure they all had their RR breaks, fresh water, and were doing good! Because I don't currently have pets of my own, I can give your furry family members my complete, undivided attention in the comfort of your home. Animals naturally gravitate toward me, and I pride myself on matching their energy. Whether your pet is a small dog who wants to curl up on my lap, a cat who just wants a calm presence nearby, or a big, active pup who needs a brisk walk, a short jog, or a game of fetch, I am completely comfortable and ready to adapt to their routine. As a full time student living on campus at UC Merced, I have a flexible schedule that makes pet care a perfect fit for my weekly routine! Whether you need daytime drop in visits between my classes, energetic afternoon walks, or overnight house sitting, I have plenty of time to dedicate to your furry family members. It’s a great way for me to step off campus and give your pets the hassle free, undivided attention they deserve. When caring for pets in your home, my top priority is safety and keeping their environment exactly as you left it. Before sitting, I always like to discuss any underlying health issues, emergency protocols, and your preferred vet. I also make sure to learn the best ways to calm your pet down if they get overwhelmed, ensuring a completely safe, trustworthy, and stress free experience for everyone.
“Alejandra provided excellent service. She dropped in on the doggies and ensure they had food and water and they were doing fine. She provided me with updates on each visit. I am very happy with Alejandra and I will definitely be calling her again.”
About: Hello! 🤗 My name is Kristina, I’m 28, and I have been a pet owner since elementary years. Having pets at a young age has allowed me to gain special experience with senior dog care. Becoming a registered nurse has enhanced my care for pets by being more attentive and aware of safety concerns. I am trusted by my friends to care for their pets while they are out of town, and you can trust me to care for your loved ones as well 🐶💕 I work full-time as a registered nurse at the hospital, which is 3 days a week, 12 hours each day (7 am to 7 pm). I do not have a set schedule in terms of the days I work, but on my off days I am flexible throughout the day. I spend as much time as possible with my senior dog on my off days. I am available most nights late at night as my dog’s final potty break and medication is given around 11 pm 🌙 My Rover Calendar does not reflect all of my available times as I am typically available after 7 pm on my work days. Please send me a message as I may be available at the time you need ⏰ I have a senior dog that can keep your fur baby company. Our apartment complex has a dog park and a walking trail that we live right next to. Our apartment’s dog park has a large tree that keeps the entire area shaded on hot days. I also take my dog to Bucklin Park in El Centro and to the large dog park in Imperial (Woof Town) 🌳
“Trustworthy, shows up on time, takes time to give human touch and play with my pets, competent, experienced, intelligent, thoughtful. Took care of 2 cats for 18 days, took pics of every encounter, clocked in and out, zero problems and my cats came right up to me when I walked in the door. No pouting, anger or hiding. They were cared fie, and it shows.”
“Vivianne is a fantastic sitter for our Leo! She is very communicative about the visit and our boy is ALWAYS so happy to see her! Vivianne just understands dogs and their behaviors and needs so well. Very happy with her service!”

About: I've cared for pets of all kinds-from playful puppies and curious cats to guinea pigs and even rabbits. At home, I help care for my mom's 10 month-old basset hound, making sure he's well fed, walked twice a day and kept clean. I know how important it is for pets to feel loved and secure while their owners are away, so I treat every animal like they're part of my own family. I currently work as a firefighter on a paid call basis, which means I often have days with plenty of free time. Id love to spend that time helping families by caring for their pets. Since my schedule is flexible, I can give your dog the attention, exercise, and companionship they need while you're away. Walks with me are more important than just potty breaks-they're time for fresh air, exercise and fun! I give dogs plenty of time to sniff, explore and stretch their legs, usually about 30 minutes per walk. I'm attentive to each pet's needs; making sure they feel happy, safe, and cared for every step of the way.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - El Centro
Alejandra was absolutely amazing, and we couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter. This was the first time we were finally able to get away for a small vacation, and leaving our dogs—especially being rescues—made us very nervous. They’re typically very skittish around new people, so we were unsure how things would go. We started with a meet and greet, and to our surprise, our dogs immediately loved her—which is something we’ve never seen before. That alone gave us so much peace of mind. From that moment on, we knew we had found someone special. Alejandra was kind, professional, punctual, and maintained excellent communication the entire time. She came a total of six times to care for our three dogs, and each visit reassured us that they were in the best hands. She treated our puppies with so much love and patience, and it truly showed. We were especially nervous about having someone in our home while we were away, but Alejandra proved to be completely trustworthy and incredibly respectful of our space. She went above and beyond to make sure our dogs were not only cared for, but genuinely happy and comfortable. She truly is a dog whisperer. We are so grateful for her and will absolutely be hiring her again. We recommend her 100% to anyone looking for someone reliable, caring, and exceptional with animals.
Juliana was a lifesaver for taking in my last minute booking to watch my dog, Ozzy. She was very attentive and always spends extra time with my dog. She takes initiative when issues arise and reports to me when problem has been handled. We’re so grateful for you!

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 El Centro 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 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 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.
