About: I've had pets all my life. I've had dogs, cats, fish, and turtles. I've also cared for hamsters, rabbits, and guinea pigs before. I've walked, fed, bathed, house sat, and played with pets belonging to family and friends. Having had my own pets throughout my life, I know how precious furry friends are. I will tend to your pet with utmost care! I'm currently working on my master's so my schedule is inconsistent. However, if you need me to care for your pet at a specific time, please contact me and we can try to work something out! How I care for your pets will largely depend on your preferences as the owner. I want to get to know your pet's personality, preferences, and energy leveI. I would like a general schedule of feeding and bathroom times and instructions. In your home, I can play with your pet, sit next to them, cuddle with them, or go out for brief walks.
About: I grew up with dogs and have loved having them in my life ever since. My family had Cocker Spaniels and Golden Retrievers, and later I adopted a mixed-breed dog of my own. Having my own dog taught me that every pup is different. Some are immediately affectionate and trusting, while others need a little more patience and time before they feel safe with someone new. I learned how important it is to pay attention to their cues, respect their boundaries, and let trust build naturally. I genuinely love getting to know each dog’s personality and making them feel comfortable, cared for, and loved while their person is away. I work remotely as a brand designer, so pet care fits very naturally into my everyday routine. I’m home throughout most of the day and already take regular breaks to get outside and walk, which means plenty of opportunities for walks, potty breaks, playtime, and attention. My schedule also gives me the flexibility to follow each dog’s usual routine as closely as possible. I know every dog has their own personality, boundaries, and routine, so I like to take the time to let them get comfortable with me at their own pace. I follow the care instructions you provide, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, house rules, and any little routines that help your dog feel at home. When caring for a dog in my apartment, they’ll have a clean, comfortable, air-conditioned space and plenty of company since I work from home. When staying in a client’s home, I’m equally mindful and respectful of both their pet’s routine and their space. My goal is always for your dog to feel safe, relaxed, and cared for while you’re away.
“Brittany was so amazing! She took care of our two cats for 10 days while my roommate and I were out of town. We got daily updates and lots of photos that made us feel so much better leaving the kitties alone.”
About: I have hands on experience raising two energetic and loyal German Shepherds. I offer a balanced approach to care, with focus on creating an stress-free , fun and safe environment. I’m currently working in La Crescenta from Monday- Friday 7:30am-4:00pm so I have all afternoons free to walk or drop in on your pets while you’re away. I can also do a quick drop in from 11:30am- 12:30pm At the moment I can not care for pets in my home but in a clients home I would get clear instructions from the client for house rules, feedings, medications, etc. Get to know the home and routines of the pets and have emergency contacts to call.
About: My dog friendly home is located in North Glendale/La Crescenta/La Canada area. I am passionate about caring for animals and provide a safe, fun loving environment, tailored to you and your pets needs. My home and yard are extremely secure, and pets are welcome inside and out. I have a large play area with a doggie door that can be closed off if necessary. Dogs are walked twice daily and I am trusted by animals and their owners alike. I provide one on one attention and in most cases, allow one family at a time. You and your pet are welcome to come visit anytime before you make a decision. Currently, I am a pet sitter/dog walker,home full time, and have a small "doggie day care" service also. I am available to care for your pets in the comfort of their own home and can visit up to 4 times per day. Safe pick up and delivery of your pet is provided upon request:)
“Sean is an excellent choice for a pet sitter. He took care of my cat for 10-days. Before I left on my vacation I met with Sean and felt confident that I made the right choice. He is professional, yet very warm and compassionate; the perfect combination for the job. My cat can be a bit stand off-ish but over the course of the ten days you could see the cat's attitude change in the pics we received. For example, in the first few pics you could barely see the cat, but by the end, you could see that she was right at Sean's feet, looking up at him. I even think she misses him now that we are home!”
About: Have been working with animals my whole life. Whether it’s dealing with dogs with medical needs or cats. Whether it’s dealing with health issues or active pets I have done it all. Training pets and introducing different pets to each other to administering medications I have done it all Pets are my daily routine. Having dogs and cats has taught me how to mange my time and providing everything my pet needs. From doctor visits to their weekly showers I care for my pets as if they were children. They need constant attention and care. I have a older dog who has poor eyesight and my oldest male has become her walking partner. Working with animals is something I have always felt with and wouldn’t change it for the world
“Melissa did a great job of taking care of my cats during my extended vacation. She communicated and sent me pictures everyday leaving me at ease. I would definitely recommend her!”
“Victoria is fantastic! Quick to respond to messages, flexible and she jumped right in with zero hesitation when it came to my goofy, hyper and “special” dog. She even gave my cat love when she stopped by! I felt safe each time Victoria came to my house and grateful every time I got a Rover report that all went well and my pets looked happy. Cannot recommend her enough and will definitely use her again for future pet sitting needs.”
About: Hi! I’ve been watching friends’ and family’s pets for about 8 years now, and I genuinely love getting to hang out with animals. I have two cats of my own, but I’ve always been a huge dog person too. I’m super comfortable with all kinds of pets and love giving them lots of attention, cuddles, playtime, and whatever they need to feel happy and comfortable while you’re away. I’m excited to meet your furry friend! 🐶🐱 I work from home, so I’m pretty flexible with my schedule and can usually accommodate different pet care needs. I do have occasional meetings throughout the day, but otherwise I’m free and able to give your pet plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and cuddles. I’m also happy to work around your preferred routine as much as possible! I want your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’m respectful of your home and your pet’s routine, and I’ll always follow any instructions you leave for me. I’m attentive to their needs, communicative with you, and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you know your furry friend is doing well. I treat every pet like I would want someone to treat my own.
About: I’ve been around animals since I was 5, so I’m comfortable with animals of almost every shape and size. I’ve done volunteer work helping stray dogs find safety, and currently volunteer at a local animal shelter where I clean up after and interact with animals of almost variety of temperaments. Whatever your pet’s needs, I’ll give them the care and safety they deserve! I currently work under a flexible schedule so I am available both weekends and weekdays for dog walking, check-ins, and pet sitting. I only need one day’s notice for low-intensity interactions, and a week’s notice for overnight sitting. I am attentive to your pet’s body language and any of their other needs. I can handle smaller animals safely when needed, and will keep your dogs on safe paths when walking.
“Caroline is wonderful! My cat is very shy and hides from everyone. But Caroline really connected with my cat, and I have photos of kitty cuddles and playtime everyday that I’ve only ever witnessed with me. Will definitely hire her again.”
“Aksana was wonderful with my pup! She was very communicative with me both before and during the drop-in, and made sure to send me lots of photos and updates. She was very attentive and sweet with my pup at the meet & greet, and I knew that I could trust her to follow all of my instructions and give him lots of love. I will definitely be contacting her again! :)”
About: I have worked with dogs at doggy day cares, dog hotels, shelters, fosters, and even movie sets! While my profile focuses on dog sitting, I'm happy to take care of your rabbit, hamster, guinea pig, reptile, fish, bird, etc! Let's chat. I work part-time for a yoga studio and my husband or I are always home at night! We love watching movies with our two pooches, and can’t wait to have a movie night with your best friend! I have two friendly chihuahua mixes that love meeting other dogs. I’ll be sure to send you plenty of photos of your dogs during their fun stay!
About: There is nothing more joyful than creating that special bond with the dogs I get to walk, or the cats I look after. I have 4 years of dog walking experience and only want to do more and more! I love taking them on walks, playing fetch, rewarding them with treats, and spending time outdoors! They will feel safe and loved when under my care, as well as get all of their energy out! I am a full-time student as well as working 2 part-time jobs at my school, but I have a lot of flexibility! I am responsible, reliable, and trustworthy! I made my entire apartment cat-proof, as well as dog-proof, even though I only have one cat at the moment. I make sure they have their free space to play, and that they feel safe and loved.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - La Crescenta-Montrose
Ru was so amazing with our dog Sienna! She took care of Sienna for 3 1-hr drop-in visits while I was out of town for work. I loved that she sent lots of great photos and updates. Sienna was clearly well cared for and had so much fun! I would definitely use Ru again for Sienna!
Tomoko was wonderful! She took great care of my cat for two weeks and kept me updated with photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind. My cat was happy and well cared for the entire time. I really appreciated her kindness and attention, and I would definitely book her again. Highly recommend!
I was so impressed with Michelle and Liz. They played with my (very active) cat and I was never worrried for a moment. I felt like my cat was being taken care of by a friend. This was the first time I left my cat alone with ANYONE and I was very nervous about how she would do but I got pictures of her cuddling and playing with Michelle and Liz and I felt so relieved every day. I would definitely use them again. They were a godsend.
Barbara is the best sitter! She takes care of my cat Lancelot every time we travel. She gives him a lot of love and affection, and will go far and beyond to take care of unexpected things that happen when you travel (like plumbing issues). Thank you, Barbara!
What a thoughtful and responsible caretaker! Larissa kindly fed and played with my 3 cats, including a pretty crazy panther-kitten; I felt like they were in great hands, she followed my instructions to a tee, and even the shy cat came out to play with her. Hope to be able to book her services for my future trips away!

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.

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.
