“Had a great experience with Marianna! She was very communicative, sent updates, and took great care of Zoey. Zoey looked happy in the photos and it gave me a peace of mind knowing she was in good hands. Highly recommend!”
“Joanne is very responsive and flexible. Our original dog sitter bailed last minute and Joanne saved the day by looking after and taking care of our girl with a last minute request. She’s very friendly, flexible and respectful. Looking forward to booking her again in the future!”
About: I grew up with three dogs and my first job was working at a dog kennel. I ended up working there for 3 years during high school and have experience giving shots and medication to dogs. Once I moved to NYC, I started fostering puppies and ended up adopting one of them and he is the light of my life! I’d love to take care of your pup and make sure that they barely miss you! I work a remote job with flexible hours, so I have a lot of time to hang out with your pup and give them all the love! I have a porch and live right next to a nature trail, my dog is very friendly and loves to play so he’ll love the company.
“Kat went above and beyond for us! She was able to take care of our 2 cats while we were gone and we have nothing but good things to say. Very responsive, followed all instructions, sent us pictures, and just overall very kind! Highly recommend”
About: **Due to overwhelming demand and a large amount of Regulars- I will not be taking new clients during week days for the months of June and July. WEEKENDS ONLY.*** AFTER INITIAL VISIT ON WEEKENDS, POSSIBILITY TO SQUEEZE IN THE FOLLOWING WEEK** i apologize for the inconvenience and will be expanding my operations shortly. Thank you and hope to see your pups! I have owned 10 dogs in my life. I have volunteered at shelters, pounds, etc. Everything from puppies to senior doggos, I can administer medicine, potty train your doggo if needed and even teach them new tricks! I began as a dog walker in Manhattan Beach when I was 10 years old and have over 100 clients. I am just handling my rental properties currently so I am able to give 24/7 care to your best bud! I live off Hermosa Ave so your dog will get plenty of sunshine on Strand Walks. I live alone and have one pup that is extremely friendly, I can also leave him at my parents if you need individual attention with no pets in home. Free 24/7, can give full attention to your pet. Take requests for specific needs. Feel free to reach out and discuss with me, would love to hear your dog story and needs I am hoping to do this full time so I can afford more time to see my family and just do what I love in general- BE WITH DOGS!! As a pet owner myself I have been using Rover and Wag for years and I know how nerve wracking it is finding a new sitter and it requires a lot of trust to leave your fur buddy with someone new, especially for long vacations: I am very personable, I've never met a dog I dont like and that doesn't like me! I will take care of your dog like it is my own and send as many photos as you would like. I'd love to meet you in person or have a quick call to make sure you're comfortable and know that you will have a lifelong sitter that you can call fa friend and your doggo will always love to see! I have a balcony, fenced back yard and I have the ability to walk on the strand or go to park within minutes. I work close with shelters and pounds, have veterinarian friends and experience with all sorts of dogs
About: I’ve had my own dog since I was a very little girl and have loved all my friends pets as if they were my own since then. I’ve always felt very connected to animals and I feel as though I do a great job at being attentive and playful. I have experience staying over and watching dogs for a week at a time. I also walk my family-friends dog weekly. I frequently watch after my neighbors cat which has taught me a lot about caring for them as well! I’m currently a student as Santa Monica College but do the majority of my class work online so my schedule is very flexible. Currently I am on break till February and have a super open schedule to devote my time to caring for pets while their owners are out of town for the holidays. I’ll make sure your dog gets plenty of exercise, attention, and care. I’m also happy to follow any specific instructions you have for feeding, walking, and playtime. Your pet’s well-being is my top priority, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages while you’re away!
“Maya is incredible. She sent daily updates and took very good care of Coco. Coco had not been feeling well so we were worried to leave her; but she was taken care of and given lots of love while we were gone. I will definitely book Maya in the future.”
About: I have grown up with pets and have enjoyed learning and experiencing different personalities. With my hands-on experience your furry friend is in capable and caring hands. I specialize in small to medium-sized dogs, but my recent experience with larger breeds has expanded my horizons, though I'm quite selective and open to it only if they're exceptionally well-behaved. My approach to pet sitting is all about creating a comfortable space for your pet to ensure they feel safe and cared for even when you're not at home with them. I understand that every pet is unique and requires individualized attention, which is why I tailor my care to suit their needs and why I only accept 1 client household at a time. I try to accommodate your pet's schedule so that they don't have to experience too much change at once. This includes sticking to exercise regimens, feeding schedules, potty breaks and bedtimes. I work remotely full-time which means I have flexibility in my schedule. Additionally, I try to maintain an active lifestyle which includes running and hiking. When onboarding a new client, I make sure that I understand the pet's schedule and preferences. Additionally, I make sure to understand any boundaries the pet should adhere in the client's home including yard space or even areas in the house. I do a walkthrough with the client so I know what areas may pose a safety concern such as gates and fences. I try to understand the pet's behavior in different scenarios such as when the door bell rings or if a neighborhood dog approaches during walks. I also make sure I have emergency numbers and the location of the closest animal hospital. For client's ease of mind , I provide pictures and updates as needed on the pet.
About: I’ve been caring for and training animals for over 30 years, with experience that started long before professional pet care. I grew up in the California desert, surrounded by animals – horses, pigs, chickens, bunnies, kittens, dogs, and even a turtle – and was responsible for caring for them myself from a young age. That upbringing gave me a deep love for animals and a strong understanding of their needs, personalities and behaviors. Over the years I’ve trained and shown dogs, horses and pigs, competitively, often earning first place awards. My experience has taught me how to work with animals, patiently, calmly, and confidently, whether they’re energetic, shy, anxious or highly trained. Today, I am a naturopathic doctor with a practice in Hermosa Beach, and outside of work I love spending time outdoors, walking the Greenbelt/chip path near my home. Animals have always been an important part of my life, and caring for them and something I genuinely enjoy. My kids absolutely adore animals, and are learning the responsibility, compassion, and consistency that come with caring for pets before we eventually get one of our own. As a family, we would truly love the opportunity to care for, spoil, and love your pets as if they were a part of our own family. I currently work from home, so I have plenty of time to play and walk your doggie! I also have 2 kids (Kai 13 and Mica 11) who help me with getting the pups plenty of exercise. We live across from the green belt, so it’s easy to get them outside sniffing around! We have a huge fenced backyard that pups love to play chase or fetch. We also keep them warm cozy inside at night, but they are not allowed in our bed.
About: Born animal lover, first pets were my mothers 3ft iguana and a small bunny. Grew to love the ocean as a lifeguard and all the sea creatures in it. Spent my summers in Montana riding horses! Special experience with turtles, bunnies, cats, dogs, horses, elderly dogs/cats as well as puppy training! Former tech worker, I am retired now and drop in to teach some fitness clients here and there but mainly home all the time to care M-Sun. We live a block from the beach and a park so plenty of places to go with my furry buds. ***Please note, we live in a duplex and have turned our downstairs studio space into a dedicated 1B boarding special for animals. Usually we use this space for play & sleep time. Our guests also roam upstairs with my family, including my 5 year old who loves animals. We have a small backyard as well and live one block from the strand and one block from valley park so dogs especially get extra walks at our house!
About: I have taken care of my own dog from the time he was 3 months old till now with some knowledge of pet training and best practices. I will provide your pet with love and attention while you are away! I work remotely during the day but my hours are flexible if you need to me to drop by or have a mid afternoon walk. Whatever house rules you have set are completely understandable and I will follow them to the best of my ability to make sure training does not go to waste.
About: My experience with animal care goes back to my childhood. Growing up in a house with two cats and one dog, I’ve had exposure to the important needs, including care, love, and attention to both Cats and Dogs. The Cats from my childhood were given the proper love and attention they needed to live a very long, healthy life up until the ages of 16 and 20, with the eldest passing in early January of 2024. With this comes my experience in care for senior animals as well as animals with certain disabilities. My eldest cat became blind at around the age of 17 due to kidney disease, and we were able to maintain her quality of life despite this condition for 3 wonderful more years. Additionally, I grew up in a home with a rescue shiatsu/lhasa apso for several years where I learned about the complexities and differences of care between cats and dogs. Throughout my college years I spent many days caring for dogs of nearby friends and family, such as the two beautiful goldens as seen in my photos! Since moving to LA 3 years ago, I’ve become a regular at the Bluff Creek Dog Park, Glen Alla Park, and the Mar Vista Rec Center. I work a full time job hybrid style! I am in office during regular business hours on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, but available any other days during the week/weekend. I can easily watch for any animals in homes/apartments as need be. I am highly aware of my surroundings and predicting animal actions if briefed on their behavior prior to my care. Additionally, I live in a very secure apartment/duplex with some outdoor space . Happy to chat and walk through the best care options for your pet as needed.
“Really appreciate the care that Josh and Fi give to our 2 cats! They take great photos and give us daily updates so we know they’re doing ok, which helps a ton when you have older cats. Would definitely recommend to everyone!”
About: I've had pups most of my life. I love hanging and playing with them. I also have a big back yard where they can play. I look forward to meeting your furry baby and giving him/her lots of love and attention My schedule is wide open, I do attend a morning job program, but I have a lot of time and flexibility. I love meeting new furry friends. I live with my Dad and there is always somebody home. I live on a quiet street, I have a fenced in large back yard with plenty of green spaces. My home has no carpet and is very pet friendly. I will also take them for walks in the neighborhood.
“Beyza was incredible while we were away. She was very communicative and took great care of our cat. I highly recommend her and hope she is available the next time we need someone to look after our cat.”
“Kaiya did a great job on her first drop in visit for our two dogs! She left us a detailed report and pictures, and made sure to lock up and set our alarm before leaving. She has a very calm demeanor and we are looking forward to having her pet sit for us again very soon!”

Carolyn is the best! She is always kind, thoughtful and proactive! Juan and Lupita absolutely like her. She gives them the attention each kitty needs and always makes sure their litter, food and water are taken care of. It gives me such peace of mind knowing they’re in such loving and caring hands. We’re so lucky to have her! ❤️🐾
Jordan was absolutely great with our kitty! She is very responsive, thorough in her updates, and very positive. We really appreciated her videos and photos and were so glad that our little guy was being so well taken care of and having some great playtime for a few days while we were away! She also brought in our packages that arrived while we were out which was very kind. We’d absolutely recommend her for catsitting anytime! Thanks again, Jordan! 😊
Vanessa was wonderful! She arrived right on time and communicated clearly throughout the visit. She even brought my packages inside without me having to ask, which was such a thoughtful extra touch. Most importantly, my dogs were happy and relaxed when I got home. I would definitely recommend Vanessa and would happily book her again!
Lisa was awesome and super easy to work with! She took great care of our cat during our short trip away and dropped in help feed and spend time with them. Lisa was responsive and extremely communicative throughout the entire process and we really appreciated her updates. Really glad our cat got to meet Lisa, and would definitely recommend her!
Lauren was amazing!! 🥹💕 She was so sweet, caring, and attentive with our boys while we were away. She kept us updated and we felt completely at ease knowing they were being so well taken care of. You can genuinely tell she cares about the pets she watches, which meant so much to us! 🐱🫶🏼 We came home to two happy boys, and we will 100% be booking with Lauren again for our future trips. Highly recommend her!! 💕
Samantha was a rockstar! She was timely and compassionate with our kitty. We had a tragedy take place days before our booking began. She was so kind and willing to make last-minute adjustments to extend the number of days she could drop in. I will definitely rebook her in the future and recommend her to any pet parent.

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.

- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 95% can help with daily exercise

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 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.
