“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.”
“Letting someone into your home take care of your oets is a nerve-racking experience. We are so grateful to have found Vy. She was very thorough on making sure she understood what our pets needs were before, even stopping by before the term started. She was a great communicator, letting us know every time she stopped by with photos and we felt like we were there real time in terms of updates. It really put our minds at ease. We’ll definitely be rebooking with her next time we head out of town!”
About: Hi! My name is Elizabeth, but you can call me Liz. I grew up with both cats and dogs, so caring for animals has always been a part of my life. I’ve also pet sat for family friends over the years, giving me experience caring for pets while their owners are away. I’m organized, dependable, and a strong communicator. I understand how important it is to know your pet is in good hands, so I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos to give you peace of mind. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I’ll make sure they receive the care and attention they deserve. I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family and always aim to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free environment. My goal is to make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable and confident while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! As a substitute teacher, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to accept pet care requests on many afternoons, evenings, weekends, holidays, and school breaks. Since my work schedule can vary from day to day, I do my best to keep my calendar updated and communicate promptly about my availability. Whether your pet needs a quick drop-in visit or consistent care while you’re away, I’m organized, reliable, and committed to making sure they receive the attention and care they deserve. I always care for pets as if they were my own. In a client’s home, I do my best to maintain their pet’s normal routine by following feeding schedules, providing fresh water, giving them plenty of attention, and making sure they get the exercise or playtime they need. I also keep their living area clean and tidy and provide regular updates so owners know how their pet is doing. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, so I take the time to earn their trust and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, from smaller pups to larger breeds, and I’ve also cared for cats my whole life. I grew up around animals and have been a pet owner for most of my life. I have experience caring for pets who are sick, need medication administered, or simply need a little extra TLC. I also have plenty of experience with senior dogs. Whether it’s going for walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, I love being a friendly and comforting face for any furry friend who needs some extra love and attention. 🤍🐾 I’m currently working part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for your pets! I’m available for boarding on weekends and I’ll have plenty of time for walks, playtime, cuddles, and lots of attention. 🐾💗 Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time and a friendly cat at home to keep them company. I’m happy to follow their usual routine, feeding schedule, and any special instructions you provide.
“It was a pleasure meeting Jasmine. She’s very nice and sweet. She asked good questions and was interested in getting to know my dog. The visit went well and I recommend Jasmine.”
About: I love dogs/puppies and I make sure that every dog feels like family, especially by giving them plenty of attention and affection during their stay. Weekdays I work mornings and I have a flexible schedule after three pm. I am fully open during weekends for all your furry friend’s needs! I have a fenced backyard that they will have access to and I have no pets or children so they would have my full attention!
“Celia is excellent as always. Our diva cat has warmed to her greatly. I love that she brings her own toys for them to try out and she leaves such excellent notes and pictures. She's a pro at getting highly quality action shots while actively playing with them. How she does it, I have absolutely no idea. She's a magician and I don't want to use anyone else.”
About: I love dogs and dream about getting my own. I’ve pet-sat for families since I was 10 and grew up with my two Goldendoodles, who I absolutely adore and consider my babies, named Olive and Cedar! I’m comfortable with daily walks, playtime, feeding routines, medications, and making sure pets feel safe, loved, and cared for while their owners are away. I naturally connect with animals and treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m reliable, attentive, and love being active with dogs—whether that’s going on walks, giving them attention, or just making sure they feel comfortable and happy. I currently work 1–2 days per week at the hospital as a pediatric oncology CNA, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. On my days off, I’m available for dog walks, drop-in visits, and overnight stays. I’m able to be consistent with routines like feeding, walks, and playtime, and I enjoy spending my free time being active and caring for animals. My schedule allows me to be reliable and fully present when I’m caring for pets. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walk times, medication needs if applicable, and any specific care preferences the owner has. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and exercise, especially walks for dogs to help them stay happy and calm while their owners are away. I also focus on creating a safe, clean environment and making sure pets feel secure and not stressed in their owner’s absence.

About: A Lifetime of Caring for Animals Hello! My name is George, and I’m a retired mailman with 38 years of experience serving my community. Now that I have retired, I’m looking forward to spending my time doing something I truly love—caring for animals. Animals have always been an important part of my life. Over the years, I’ve rescued and cared for many animals and have had 13 pets of my own. Currently, I have 2 wonderful dogs and 3 affectionate indoor cats. I also share my home with 7 lovely parrots. Best of all, we all happily live together under one roof! Our house is a comfortable Ranch-style home of 2200 square feet. It is situated on half an acre of land with a lower and upper tree-lined backyard. Plenty of space for animals to run and play! I understand that leaving your pets with someone else requires trust. I will treat your pets with the same patience, kindness, and care that I give my own. Whether your dog needs a good walk, some companionship, or you need someone responsible and dependable to care for your pets and home while you're away. I’m so happy to help you and your pets with any needs. After a lifetime of being responsible for getting the job done, I take reliability seriously. I’m patient, caring, attentive, and I genuinely enjoy being around animals. I would love the opportunity to meet you and your pets and become someone you can feel comfortable trusting with their care. Your animals aren’t just pets—they’re family, and I’ll treat them that way! As a retiree, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time for walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, and giving every pet the attention they deserve. I treat every pet like family, giving them lots of love, patience, attention, playtime, and companionship while keeping them comfortable, happy, and safe at all times during their care.
“We had a great first drop by with Allycia. I know I sent way too many instructions/details, but she handled everything and took a lot of stress off of us. She knows how to handle the dogs and we appreciated the updates and the pics. Thanks Allycia!”
About: I’ve grown up raising 4 pugs and 2 labradors. I also used to volunteer at animal sanctuaries where I trained, played, walked, and cleaned after puppies/dogs. I’m currently a college student so my schedule is flexible (as long as I don’t have class). I do same day appointments and I am available all week. When caring for a pet at a client’s home, I’ll be sure to listen to clients instructions of what and what not to do. I will also respect the home as it is not mine.
“Once again Alexis saves the day by taking care of my 2 dogs. They love him. Thank you so much for taking care of them. When Alexis is taking care of my dogs I don’t have to worry about anything.. he communicates and takes pride in his job.”
“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.”
About: I've been a dog owner since I was about 7 years old. I had a husky mix growing up, a very active dog all black with a curly tail I'd walk regularly and keep active. I now have two small breed dogs. A chihuahua mix named Brownie that's just 8 lbs, rescued in 2015 and I have a Rat Terrier named Taco and he was rescued in March 2020, he's about 15 lbs. All their shots are up to date and they are neutered. I am an active runner/walker and I enjoy taking my dogs out for walks regularly/daily. I take them out for about 1 mile or more if we're going out on trails or more adventures. I've traveled with my dogs by plane and by car. I'm very comfortable with dogs! Love spending time with them. I've walked my dogs and others dogs now for years. I have a two active pups to play with should they wish but otherwise they're welcome to play and have fun how they wish. I love to let them have fun.
“I can’t say enough nice things about Cristina! She is professional and very detail oriented. It is clear that Cristina really knows what she’s doing and that she enjoys it. I highly recommend her services to anyone looking to have peace of mind leaving their dog in the hands of a caring, capable professional.”
About: Hello! My name is Lauren, I have 15 years of dog experience from puppies to gray dogs! I have a safe, pool free, large yard for dog roaming. Your dog is welcome in my yard and inside my home :) I’m here for on time feedings, dog company, petting and playing fetch! I can send updates and photos if desired. Your pet is my priority!!! If you have questions and concerns please ask ☺️ I really just have a lot of love to give, that’s why I’m here 💞 Day availability: Monday, Tuesday,Wednesday, Thursday , Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Working a part time job in the day during the week. If your dog is okay being left alone for four hours during the week, I can watch him/her during the week. I have a secure grass yard, and cool indoor home. If your dog likes to dig I have a dirt area. My yard is pool free and great for running and roaming. If you have any questions or concerns please message me. They are allowed to sleep in my bedroom, and in my bed only if sheets are provided for bed covers and if your dog is tolerable to sleep with.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was nine years old, and animals have always been a huge part of my life. Growing up with dogs taught me responsibility, patience, and how to truly understand their needs. I also have hands-on experience working on ranches, where I cared for not only dogs but also other animals in a busy, outdoor environment. This taught me how to handle pets of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. Whether it’s going on long walks, providing structured playtime, or simply giving extra cuddles, I’m committed to keeping every dog happy, healthy, and loved like my own. As a part-time student, I have a flexible schedule that makes it easy to fit pet care into my daily routine. I already dedicate time each day to walking and running, so including dogs in my active lifestyle feels natural and rewarding. Caring for pets not only matches my energy, but also gives me the joy of sharing my routine with them. I’m currently working to pay for my university expenses, and Rover allows me to do that while doing something I genuinely love—spending time with animals. Your pets will always get my full attention, care, and affection, as I treat every dog as if they were my own. I currently have two dogs of my own, so I understand the daily responsibility and care that goes into keeping pets happy and healthy. They are extremely energetic, spending most of their time outdoors, but they also sleep and partially live indoors with me. Because of their high energy, I make sure their water is replenished multiple times throughout the day to keep them hydrated, and they are fed once a day on a consistent schedule.
About: I always used to say I wanted to be a Veterinarian since I can remember, but with life and all that comes with it, sadly I gave up that dream. However, just because being a Veterinarian didn't work out didn't mean I have given up on my care and love for animals. I have been lucky in being able to care for many cats and dogs in my life time. From tiny new born kittens to a senior dog in her last days, I have cared for many and consider it an honor to have a relationship with an animal. I am a full-time pet care provider. I do have a part time job that requires me to leave for 4 to 5 hours a couple times a week but other than that I am dedicated to caring for you animal during the time I am with them. I currently live with four cats in my home. They are family pets and though I love them they are more my parents cats. In the past I have been responsible for feeding and caring for both indoor and out door pets. I stay conscious of what my pets feeding and/or walking schedules were like. I also like to know if the pet is a playful one that would like my engagement or a cuddler that likes the snuggles and pets. In the case of new animals that I haven't met before I try to make my introduction as gentle and friendly as possible. I do prefer in the cases of dogs that I meet them first with their owner present so that the dog knows I can be trusted. As for cats I haven't noticed them really caring most of the time. However, I appreciate an introduction if it is possible.

We would highly recommend Arika! She is kind and very professional and we were so happy that our cat had such great care.
Celia is low key and a Great communicator . She went above and beyond to maintain our 3 cat’s tidy care! We appreciated the moments our cats were captured in photos very much. She adapted without hesitation to timing changing due to unplanned guests at our home while we were away. Our frig also failed during her care! She made sure the feeding of wet food was safe and fresh. We definitely would book her care again!
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.
Nancy was an excellent sitter for our doggies! She was very communicative and right on time. The dogs had lots of fun playing catch with her in the backyard. She was also very accommodating with last minute schedule changes and willing to work with us. We really appreciate her flexibility!
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.
This is the second time we have used Clarissa. She’s been punctual and on time. She has to give our dogs pills and medicine since one has seizures and special dog food. She’s been responsible and all the dogs get along with her. Her rates are reasonable and affordable. We highly recommend her. Thanks again for everything and until next time.
I needed Chloe to let the dogs out so they could relieve themselves and play with her because maintenance was supposed to be working in the back and the dogs couldn’t be outside while they were there. Chloe did what was asked and administered one of my dog’s glaucoma medications, which she is familiar with after staying with them for over a week. Needless to say, Chloe is punctual, reliable, and trust worthy. She is now our go-to dog sitter/house sitter.

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 La Mirada 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 .

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.
