“Nicole is absolutely 💯 the best dog sitter!! She is gentle, kind, and communicates well sending updates and pictures of my fur baby. She took time to make sure my anxious pup was comfortable and well cared for.”
“Such a sweet sweet girl. Incredibly trustworthy and reliable. Took such great care of my two huskies, giving special attention to our unique needs. Go3s above and beyond. Worth every penny.”
About: I have broad experience for caring for cats/dogs of all ages. I have experience with puppy/kitten care from days old on up. I also have extensive senior care experience. I am currently available Monday through Sunday. I can do overnight care, 24/7 care, check in and feedings and/or play time, play dates, and walking. Currently I have an elderly dog that’s 14 and 3 cats ages ranging from 3 years old to 15 years old. They are indoor pets. I do have a huge fenced in backyard that I allow the pets to roam on occasion.
About: With an energetic pup of my own, I am no stranger to the needs of fur babies. Consistency is key when it comes to pet care and training. I will make sure your pups gets plenty of exercise with a walk around your local neighborhood. Each dog is unique and I will be certain to cater to your individual pets needs. But no matter what, I will be certain that each doggo gets the same loving care as if they were one of my own. I am currently very flexible in my schedule so I can offer walks or drop ins for potty breaks and daily enrichment or house sitting for more comprehensive care for your pet when you’re away! I would love to check on your fur baby if you're busy so they don't get lonely! Personally, I have my own rambunctious pup named Lila who loves treats, walks, and attention. I would treat your dog like my own in care and affection!
About: I grew up on a "farm" with chickens, horses, cats, and dogs and have grown to be a bit of a crazy cat lady. I am the proud mom of five fur babies (three cats, two dogs) as well as four human babies (adults now). I am an boring, responsible professional and I would like to help out other families looking for a responsible pet sitter. I am extremely responsible and organized, and I'm "that mom" that takes care of everyone. My home is tidy and I am crazy about clean. I'm also extremely empathetic regarding animals and their care and comfort is always my highest priority. I know how hard it can be to find a responsible sitter you can trust and feel comfortable with and hopefully I can help other families feel safe and comfortable when they have to be away from their fur-kids. I've had senior pets and pets with medical issues. I have experience with senior animals and animals that need light medical assistance (meds, etc). I work remotely so I'm available most all the time. I occasionally (a few times a week) go into my office but that is flexible. I have my own family at home caring for our animals so they are taken care of. I'll completely honor your requests, and I have experience with senior animals needing special accommodations and/or meds. My moto is "your house, your rules". I will care for your animals like my own (and mine are SUPER spoiled and comfy!) I work a normal nine to five job that is very flexible and I can work from home occasionally. During the day I have a very flexible schedule to check in during the day. I definitely believe in caring for your pets however you direct. For drop-ins, I will always try to spend as much time as possible with your pet so they don't get too lonley and so I can note any issues that come up.
“Kerstin is wonderful! She stayed with our two pups and kept us updated while we were away, and went above and beyond by coming back to check in on our girls and feed them when our flight connections failed and our homecoming was delayed. My husband and I are grateful she looked after our dogs so well, she made us all feel like family.”
“We came home to an unusually calm and well-mannered dog. Even after meeting our strong-willed black lab with OCD, Aicha went out of her way to accommodate our lengthy list of requests. We will definitely be rebooking soon. Edit: oh, and she organized our fridge. Nice touch to come home to”
“Our fur baby, who is a neurotic mess, seemed so much less stressed than other dog-sitting and kennel stays. Brittney took lots of pics. The house was in the same condition when we left - so she was clean.”
About: Hello! I specialize in caring for cats and big dogs, but I love all animals. I especially love cuddly and low energy pets. I’ve taken care of neighbors’ pets for a few years and now would like to expand my pet sitting services. I currently have two cats and have grown up with dogs as well. I’m a full time college student, currently attending night classes Monday-Wednesday. I’m available for walks and drop-ins in the morning and early afternoon on these days. Scheduling overnights on these days depend on how frequently your pets need check ins. Thursday-Sunday I’m available all day to give your pets the attention they need! Your pet’s happiness and safety is my top priority. I take the time to get to know your pets and understand what they need from my visit, whether it’s high energy playtime or cuddles and belly rubs.
“he hardest part about going on vacation is leaving behind our fur babies. Our babies are older, stubborn very spoiled and can be very difficult to care for. It’s really hard to trust anyone to care for them so finding Nhi was a blessing. I needed someone to stay at my home to watch over them. Nhi was very patient with our babies. She followed directions down to the smallest detail and took time to hand feed our finicky eaters when they wouldn’t eat. She gave them so much attention, time and patience. After a few days, our babies followed her around, they even wanted to spend time with her and you can tell they trusted her. I would not hesitate to invite Nhi back to our home to watch over our precious babies. She’s very trustworthy, dependable and caring. She kept in contact with us and provided daily updates and sent us the cutest pictures. We are already planning our next trip knowing Nhi is someone we can count on in the future. Thank you, Nhi, for taking such amazing care of our babies so we can enjoy our vacation. I highly recommend her if you need a pet sitter.”
“Erika was amazing! We came home to two very happy and healthy dogs. One of my dogs is paralyzed in the hind end and requires bowel and bladder expression. Erika was able to provide that service for us and we were able to go on vacation with peace of mind! She is a great communicator and sent regular photos and updates!! Highly recommend and will use again!!”
“Keishla took great care of my large dog and cats while I was away. She even won over the affection of my more skiddish kitten! From the meet and greet, through the end of the sit, Keishla was respectful, responsive, and professional. She spent plenty of time playing with the animals, kept the house clean, and sent several updates and pictures throughout the sit. I would happily book her again!”
“We absolutely adore Jordan - especially Matzo! He took to her immediately and she to him! She asked thoughtful and useful questions about his needs and preferences, was great at communicating while we were gone including sharing photos and updates, when we got home the house was neat and tidy and the dog had clearly had a good time! We’ll gladly request Jordan again and are so happy she was available.”
“Sarah was amazing! She was very communicative and sent lots of photo and video updates. We recently moved to Sacramento from Chicago and had some bad luck finding a new sitter… but now that we have Sarah, we’re so happy!”
“Claudia was EXCELLENT! She was on time, friendly, and sooo good with our old dog and our new puppy! We will definitely book her in the future. Hire her if you want to feel self assured that your pets and house are taken the best care of while you are away.”
About: I have volunteer experience at an animal shelter, so I have experience working with and caring for dogs, cats, and even rabbits! I have also taken a couple dog handling classes through the shelter. I have owned dogs all my life and have trained a few of them as youngsters in basic commands (sit, stay, come, down, etc). I am also a horse girl and thus have pretty impressive upper arm strength for my size, so I can handle your large dog that pulls on walks. I am transitioning from a part time job to full time pet care with Rover so I have full flexibility and am able to zip over and give your pet some TLC whenever I'm needed. I have a dog of my own so I also understand and can provide what a pet needs in a typical day. In my house, pets are treated like family. From the moment I enter your home or meet your pet, it becomes part of my family too and I will care for it as such. I believe compassion, patience, and a good sense of humor are essential to good pet care regardless of whether you're inside or outside the home. An environment of fun, love, and trust will be created when I care for your pet and I'm sure a great bond will form whether I meet that pet one time or 30 times.
“Johnna did a fantastic job with my 2 dogs, kept me updated and sending proof of life photos…which I appreciated!! She showed such respect for my home as well. Would highly recommend her and for sure will be using her again in the future. 🙏”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - La Riviera
As first time Rover users, we were really nervous, but working with Lucia made all our worries go away! Our pups and kitties LOVED her! She had amazing communication, made sure all the animals were loved on and cared for, sent so many pictures, was extremely timely, and even tidied the toys up 😭 We will definitely be using her again and will recommend her to anyone!❤️ Her passion and love for animals truly shows.
Caroline was great with all our pets! She came by in advance to meet everyone and helped us out with a last minute booking. She did a great job with a mix of our higher energy large dog and chill cats. She was super kind and responsive during her stay, and we’ve already booked her again for another weekend - would totally recommend her for watching dogs and cats ! :)
We truly felt that our pups were in good hands while we were gone for the weekend. Larisa was very kind, communicative, and thorough with all of our instructions! She gave our older pup all of his meds appropriately and was mindful of their different personalities. We would definitely rebook with her in the future!
Jordan immediately took to our babies. She knelt down and let our husky come to her while she talked with me on our meet and greet. During our trip, we got adorable pics and updates (complete with tiny kitten snoozing on her leg and pics of the other shier cat out and about) and it really put us at ease. She was kind and fun and knowledgeable. Definitely recommend Jordan!
Anna stayed with my two dogs for a full-day house sitting. She was on time and texted when she arrived so I knew they weren’t alone. Anna sent numerous photos throughout the day and kept in touch. She even sent photos of their lunch that she made. (They’re spoiled with homemade lunches) I checked in a couple times because I’m as needy as the dogs and she was quick to respond. She also took them for a walk before it got too hot. We set up a meet and greet before the house sitting and she was on time, courteous, and friendly with my dogs right away. I will definitely use her again to sit with my dogs.
Bailey's first weekend with a pet sitter. First, Whitney is an excellent communicator and very responsive. She is thorough with her notes and came to our meeting prepared. The pictures, videos, and daily updates were greatly appreciated. And best of all, we came home to a very happy and content puppy. Baily is a 1.5-year-old mini Aussie with lots of energy.
We had a wonderful experience with Natalie! From the very beginning, communication was clear, friendly, and professional. She took the time to understand our dog’s routine, preferences, and quirks, which immediately put us at ease. During the stay, we received regular updates, including photos and messages, which made it so much easier to be away. When we returned, our dog was relaxed and content, which says everything. We wouldn’t hesitate to book again and highly recommend Natalie to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and attentive sitter!

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred La Riviera walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in La Riviera maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in La Riviera choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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 Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
