“Terra is an amazing sitter and took such great care of Haku! Haku is a more reserved and aloof dog, but he adapted very quickly and was comfortable right away. Terra sent regular updates with pictures, which I really appreciated as they gave me peace of mind throughout out my trip. Thank you so much, Terra! I will definitely book with you again for any future boarding needs. :)”
“Alicia and James did a fantastic job caring for our little Dobby! She is a 9 year old puppy! She has a lot of energy and loves cuddles. I was a little worried leaving her for two weeks which is the longest we’ve had to board her. Alicia and James made me feel so comfortable and sent lots of pictures letting me know when she ate and played. I really loved having them sit for us and would love to use them again in the future.”
“Ryan is awesome! He sent me pics and updated me throughout my pups stay with him. Kiera seemed happy, and had a great time with Ryan. Would definitely recommend him!”
“Lacey was amazing with Noosha! She kept me updated with photos and took her on all sorts of adventures while I was on travel. Treated her like her own. Thanks Lacey!”
“Dina and Shane took great care of Facai! He seemed to really enjoy spending time with Benny, too. They sent lots of updates and were very communicative throughout his stay. Facai looked very happy when we picked him up. We’d definitely recommend them!”
“3rd time booking with Gabrielle! She keeps us updated daily with photos and has great communication. Pick up and drop off are always smooth. Loki is excited everytime he gets to stay with her! Will definitley keep booking with Gabrielle!”
“Emelyn was great - took awesome care of my puppy for a couple of days, keeping me updated with how he was doing and how he was getting along with her two dogs. I wasn’t nervous or worried at all with my pup in Emelyn’s hands. I highly recommend her and I plan to use her again in the future! Thank you Emelyn!”
“Tommy had a lovely stay with Nicky! She was communicative, shared lots of pictures, and very sweet to our boy. Pickups and drop offs were smooth and he had a great time! Thank you Nicky!”
“Katy is caring and looked after my dog like it was her own! My little Ziggy stayed with Katy and her family from Friday to Sunday. She kept me updated with videos and pictures - I could see he was having a great time! When I picked him up he was happy and I could tell he enjoyed his stay. I really loved that her daughter and nephew got to play with him. I’m looking forward to booking with Katy again!”
“Melanie was AMAZING! I am so happy to have found her. It’s always a little unsettling leaving your dog behind on vacation, but knowing she was with Melanie (and basically on vacation herself!) put us at so much ease. Zoe had so many great adventures during her 1-week stay, from pack walks in the hills to the beach and beyond. Melanie and her family treated Zoe like a member of their family, which made us so happy. Melanie was super communicative and sent photos of their adventures daily. We’ll definitely be taking Zoe back to Melanie next time we need someone to look after her!”
“Vicky is truly the best dog sitter we could ever ask for. She is incredibly detail-oriented, loving, and attentive. We have a tiny senior Yorkie with a very sensitive stomach, and Vicky cared for her even better than we could ourselves. She made sure our baby ate regularly, exercised moderately, and kept her coat impeccably clean and brushed. Throughout the two-week stay, Vicky sent us regular updates and dozens of beautiful photos, giving us complete peace of mind. Her dog, Tofu, is also a gentle and affectionate companion who made our baby's stay even more enjoyable. Five-star service from start to finish. We highly recommend Vicky to anyone who cherishes their four-legged family members as much as we do!”
“Lucero is great! She took my last minute booking, and followed my instructions to take care of my pop! Sent thorough updates multiple times a day, and tons of photos and videos. Gonna book again next week! Thanks!”
“Yadi was absolutely amazing with Kaiya. Kaiya was curious right away and settled in very nicely. I saw Kaiya loved their backyard and drop offs were very easy! The cutest thing were pictues from Kaiya's morning cuddles!”
About: What sets me apart is the level of personal attention and care I give to every pet. I understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, and I take the time to learn what makes each pet feel safe and happy. I’m patient, attentive, and dependable, and I’m comfortable caring for pets with different energy levels and personalities, including puppies, senior pets, and pets who may need extra patience or reassurance. I’m also happy to follow specific feeding, walking, medication, and care instructions. I treat pet sitting as more than simply checking in I want each pet to feel comfortable, cared for, and genuinely loved while their owner is away. I also value clear communication with owners and providing updates so they can feel confident their pet is in good hands. Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy and naturally make time for in my routine. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every animal with the same patience, kindness, and attention I would want for my own. I’m attentive to their individual personalities, routines, and comfort levels. Whether that means a morning walk, playtime, meals on schedule, medication, cuddles, or simply being there for companionship, I make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. I also believe communication is important, so I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is doing well. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel completely comfortable and confident in my care. I prioritize safety, trust, and creating a calm, comfortable environment for every pet in my care. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, needs, and any specific instructions from their owner so they can feel secure and relaxed. In a client’s home, I treat the space with the same care and respect I would my own. I make sure doors, gates, and windows are secure, keep pets away from anything potentially unsafe, and maintain a clean environment. I follow feeding, walking, medication, and other care instructions carefully. I understand that leaving your pet with someone is a big responsibility. I believe in being dependable, communicative, and attentive, and I’m happy to provide updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind while they’re away.
“Rebecca took very good care of my dog. My dog can be a little jumpy at first and a little aggressive but Rebecca was sweet and understanding that it takes my dog a little time to get to know strangers. She took pictures and sent me updates daily. My dog got pretty comfortable with Rebecca as was evident in the pictures she sent. LOL! She is also very quick to respond to texts. I will definitely book her again!”
“Marilyn took such good care of our pups! She sent pics and video, and they had a blast. (Even our cranky older dog haha) We were gone for 2 weeks and knew they’d be in good hands from the moment we did our meet and greet. Will definitely be bringing them back next time we need a sitter.”
“Mariana and David were excellent hosts of our little pup. They sent a ton of photos and videos and played with Muggsy a ton. Will definitely look to book with them again!”

Andrew was great with my dog! He was quick to answer messages and took great care of my dog. My dog is a senior with some behavioral oddities (marking, separation anxiety) and Andrew handled it all in stride. He even gave Dobby a bath since I mentioned I hadn’t had time to run to the groomer.
Terra is an amazing sitter and took such great care of Haku! Haku is a more reserved and aloof dog, but he adapted very quickly and was comfortable right away. Terra sent regular updates with pictures, which I really appreciated as they gave me peace of mind throughout out my trip. Thank you so much, Terra! I will definitely book with you again for any future boarding needs. :)
Charlie had the best stay! He still wants to pull to their home while we go on walks to the neighborhood, so we can surely say he gives it four paws 😊 We got great updates, and pictures to check in, and Devin & Chevelle were very communicative for Charlie’s stay. Very kind and caring, we would happily let Charlie stay again!
Lizette was absolutely amazing! 🥲 Was extremely communicative and sent us so many updates. All of our anxieties about leaving our pups and cat were completely at ease the entire time we were away. We returned to very happy animals and a very tidy and clean house too. Can’t say enough positive things about our experience with her. Thank you Lizette! Can’t wait to have you back ❤️
Lucretia is absolutely wonderful with Bindi. She is incredibly kind, patient, generous, understanding, and genuinely caring. I always feel completely safe leaving Bindi with her because I know she is being looked after with so much love and attention. She is very gentle, accommodating, and thoughtful, and you can tell she truly cares about the animals she looks after. I’m so grateful to have found someone I can trust and feel comfortable with. I would absolutely recommend Lucretia to anyone looking for someone reliable, compassionate, and safe to care for their pet.
Wooyoung is absolutely fantastic! We have booked with her several times, and our dog, Alaska, is always completely at ease in her care. During our recent stay, Alaska required medication. Wooyoung showed incredible attention to detail by catching an important instruction we had initially overlooked. Additionally, we were thrilled to learn that Alaska safely lost a bit of weight during her stay—a huge win since weight management has been a goal for her! We love receiving the regular picture updates throughout the stay and will definitely continue using Wooyoung's services in the future. Highly recommended!
Amira gave so much love to our little Bobo at a point in Bobo’s life when she has been really struggling. The care she gave to her many specific needs was second to none. I can not recommend her more if you have an elderly pooch or one with special needs. Amira went the extra mile to keep Bobo comfortable and loved while we were away.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Ladera Heights home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Ladera Heights.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Ladera Heights sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in CA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
