Tyler made my first time using Rover a wonderful experience. I couldn’t have asked for a better person to take care of my kitten. My kitty can be very shy and fearful, but she warmed up to Tyler right away — she truly has a way with cats. Tyler consistently sent photos and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind knowing my baby was well cared for. She went above and beyond, and I would absolutely book with her again and recommend her to others.

Communicative & punctual. Monica made sure to arrange a visit before we left on our trip which really eased any worries. She followed the instructions we left and sent many pictures. Can not recommend enough!

About: Hello, I’m Krystal 👋🏼 I am so excited to meet your furry family members! Dogs have been a massive part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up surrounded by them, and because my entire family still has dogs, I am constantly around them. Having previously owned a Doberman, I am entirely comfortable, confident, and experienced with large breeds and strong dogs, I love small dogs, too. From high-energy pups who need tons of exercise to sweet, gentle giants and tiny lapdogs, I am ready to handle dogs of all shapes, sizes, and energy levels. I promise to treat your beloved pet with the exact same love, patience, and care that I give to my own family’s dogs. I can't wait to give your pup a fun, safe, and happy experience. I work from home full-time, which gives me a highly flexible schedule. Because I am remote, your pet will have constant company, frequent potty breaks, and plenty of attention throughout the day. Safety is my top priority. Growing up around dogs of all sizes and energies—including my own Doberman—means I know how to read dog body language and maintain a secure environment. My apartment has a patio in the back, your pet can catch some sun there if needed, too.

About: I have taken care of pets and been around pets since I was a child. I mainly specialize in cats but I have experience with medium and little sized dogs too. I have had my own 2 kitties for about 8 years. I am a gig worker and I love having flexibility. It is great for being able to drop in and play with your animals or feed them. With my knack for attention to detail I can easily pay mind to any specific instructions I may need to follow. I give my pets love, patience and understanding and would treat your animals with the same respect I give my own.

Anny was very respectful, responsable, and reliable for each of my cats visits. She came to my house for free the first time so I can show her around and what to do. Always on time. She gave me a super detailed report, with pictures each time she came to my house. I was a little nervous with having a stranger come to my house, but by the end of her visits she befriended my most shy, timid cat. I consider her one of the family now and would definitely ask her to come again to care for my babies. Also! She swept my living room of all the litter.

About: 🐾 A Loving Home Away From Home 🐾 I offer small, home based boarding so your pup gets personalized care, love, and attention.

About: Hello, I’ve had experience with dogs from a young age. I got my first dog when I was 10 years old and cared for him until I was 25. About five years ago, I brought home my current dog as a puppy, just a few weeks old, and I’ve been raising him ever since. He’s truly like my kid. Through these years, I’ve gained hands-on experience with training, daily care, grooming, and understanding dog behavior. I’ve also learned how to handle situations like anxiety and stress, making sure he feels safe and comfortable. Having a dog has not only been a joy, but it has also taught me patience, responsibility, and the deep bond that comes from caring for animals. Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine. Since I already care for my own dog, I’m used to scheduling walks, feeding, grooming, and playtime around my day. I make sure to prioritize their needs by setting aside time in the morning and evening for exercise, and I stay consistent with training and routines to keep them comfortable. Taking care of pets has become second nature to me, so incorporating it into my daily life feels natural and rewarding. As a pet boarding provider, the safety and well-being of the animals in my care is my top priority. I ensure that my home is a secure environment, free from hazards such as exposed wires, toxic plants, or small objects that pets could swallow. I provide separate, comfortable spaces for each pet as needed, with access to fresh water, proper nutrition, and appropriate bedding. I maintain a clean environment by regularly sanitizing food and water bowls, litter areas, and common spaces. I supervise pets at all times to prevent conflicts and ensure that each animal receives individual attention, exercise, and mental stimulation. I also follow any specific instructions from the pet owners regarding feeding schedules, medications, or behavioral needs to ensure continuity of care. Overall, my goal is to create a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where pets feel at home while staying with me.

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and grew up with breeds ranging from Labradors and Pit Bulls to Bull Mastiffs and French Bulldogs, so caring for animals has always been second nature to me. As a Frenchie owner myself, I understand that every pet has their own personality, routines, energy level, and unique needs — and I genuinely enjoy taking the time to learn what makes each animal feel safe, comfortable, and happy. My own French Bulldog keeps me on my toes in the best way possible, so I’m very comfortable with high-energy pets, structured routines, and dogs that need extra patience or attention. Whether your pet loves active walks and playtime or prefers a calmer, nurturing environment, I adapt my care style to what helps them feel most at ease. I’m naturally very attentive, organized, and dependable. Professionally, I work remotely in project management, which has made me extremely detail-oriented, punctual, communicative, and reliable with schedules and instructions. I know how important consistency is for pets, and I take pride in following care instructions carefully while also being intuitive to a pet’s behavior and needs. One thing I truly value is communication and trust. I know how important pets are to their families, so I make it a priority to provide thoughtful updates, photos, and reassurance throughout each visit or walk so every paw mom and dad feels connected and at ease while away. Above all, I genuinely love animals for their loyalty, unconditional love, and unique personalities. My goal is always to create a warm, safe, fun, and loving experience for every pet in my care. I am extremely flexible during the week as I work remotely from home - this makes pet care convenient to your needs of when you need additional care. I always have spoiled my pets and treated them just like humans. My own dog sleeps in my bed with me every night. I am intuitive and with my extensive experience is being raised with dogs since a toddler, I am effective in understanding pets’ behavioral cues and when they need more attention or care. I will ensure to maintain consistent and proactive communication with the pet owners to ensure that the most reliable and nurturing experience is provided for your pet.

Monica was great for our first booking. The cats warmed to her quickly, she was at the house on time, and even showed up an hour and a half early (at 5 am!) when I asked her to because my very special orange tabby managed to lock himself behind a screen door. Sent great photos, and responded quickly. I will definitely rebook her for future visits.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Irwindale stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the 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.
