“This is our second time booking with Donny, and I just wanted to say how lucky we feel to have found someone so kind, reliable, and trustworthy to take such wonderful care of our kitties. Knowing Donny is looking after them gives me so much peace of mind whenever we’re away. He’s communicative, attentive, and clearly cares about the animals he watched. Our cats are always happy, comfortable, and well cared for when we return. We truly appreciate the care and dedication he puts into every visit, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book with him again. Highly recommend!! 🐾❤️”
About: I have had dogs in my family ever since I could remember. As an adult, I have had my own dogs for the last five years - Star and Popsicle are my world! I am comfortable walking two dogs at a time, administering medicines, and if there is anything else your pet may need, I have probably handled it myself before. I have cared for other people's pets on and off for years as well and have handled many situations with ease. I currently have a very flexible, open schedule that can accommodate any specific walk times or potty breaks. I can assist any time of day, any day of the week. Hello! Trusting me with your beloved pet means that they will be taken care of with all the love and attention that I give my own two dogs. I am patient, attentive, and kind in my care, and I genuinely love being around any pets! From feeding to enriching walks, I want to make sure your pet feels safe and happy while you are away.
About: I am working a part time job right now so your pet will be my priority. I have grown up and taken care of pets (mostly dogs) my entire life. I have been dog sitting for friends and family since I was in middle school. I love animals and love being around them whether it is at a park, laying around the house or going on walks Im currently working part time. I have plenty of time for walks and to hang out with your pets. No need to worry about schedules as well as I am free to follow any schedule your pet needs I can spend time with your dog at a park or just hanging around the house. If you need someone to watch the dog during the day or at night I can do that as well.
“Sora was amazing with drop in visits for our two kitties while we were away! She was very communicative, always on time, shared updates and is incredibly kind. We would absolutely reccomend her and book her services again!”
About: I’ve always been a dog person! I grew up around animals and have had both cats and dogs my whole life. For the past 14 years, I’ve also cared for friends’, family members’, and neighbors’ pets, so I’m experienced with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I love getting outside for walks—whether it’s a quick neighborhood stroll or a longer adventure, whatever is best for your pup. I had a baby in February, and we’ve made daily walks and hikes part of our routine. Since losing my own dog in May, I’ve really missed having a furry walking companion. I’ll typically have my baby with me, either in a stroller or baby carrier, so your dog will need to be comfortable around babies. I’m reliable, patient, and will treat your dog like my own. I’ll always make sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, and love, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you know they’re having a great time. I’m currently a stay-at-home mom, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet care. I’m able to provide walks, check-ins, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I love having animals as part of my routine and enjoy making sure they get the attention, exercise, and care they need. I only offer pet care in the client’s home, as I have a cat of my own who prefers being the only furry friend in the house. In your home, I’ll make sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for by providing lots of love, feeding, walks, playtime, and attention. I’ll also help keep things tidy along the way so your home is just as you left it.
“Sami is a true animal lover and our dog Lola loved Sami at first sight! Thank you for dropping in on Lola, for walking her and sending all of the pictures of your outing!!”
“Shannon was great! She was able to accommodate my drop in request with short notice and made sure that all my requests were met. She sent videos of my kitten and communicated with me regarding when she entered my home and when she left. I would recommend her to people looking for drop-in sitting and I will definitely use her services again!”
About: I have a great amount of experience caring for my own pets, family & friends pets, clients pets, and even cats in an adoption center. My family and friends always come to me for any pet related advice or care they may possibly need. I am very particular in the way in which my own pets are cared for so I will make sure to follow any instructions given to me in order to meet your beloved pets needs. I have lots of experience in bathing, feeding, pottying, training, walking, giving medication, and anything else you can possibly need for your pet. I’ve interacted with various dog breeds and ages. I do work full time but I am fully available Tuesdays and Sundays. On Wednesday, Friday, and Saturdays I am available in the evenings once it’s 5pm. If you let me know a week or even 2 weeks in advance for the days I am limited, I can always try my best to make something work. I unfortunately can’t care for any pets in my home as we already have our own full house. I will gladly care for your pet in your home. Safety is my number one priority as it is in my own home. If your pet free roams I will try my best to make sure they can’t get into any trouble when not supervised. I like to make sure that all gear is fitted and in working condition before any outings. I also will not put them in any situations in which they may feel uncomfortable so if your pets doesn’t like interacting with other dogs or people please let me know.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lomita
Ruby was absolutely amazing!! 🥹💕 My kitties adored her! Even when our Litter-Robot unexpectedly went offline in the middle of the night because of a WiFi connection issue, I reached out to her, and she was so accommodating! She came earlier than scheduled at the last minute to check on it and spend extra time with my babies. Talk about going above and beyond! 🐾❤️ My cautious little princess, Suki Bear, even came out to hang out with Ruby and her brother AND let Ruby pet her! That says a lot because Suki doesn’t warm up to just anyone! 🥹 Tommy Boy was his usual energetic, playful self and absolutely loved all the attention and playtime! I had such peace of mind knowing my babies were in loving hands while we were away. A++++ service! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ My kitties and I can’t thank you enough, Ruby! We’ve officially found our go-to kitty sitter for all our future trips! Highly, highly recommend! 💕🐱
Britney was incredible from start to finish— amazing communication, she even sent a heads-up message every time she was on her way. Receiving tons of photos with every visit gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. She proved to be 100% reliable. Even when her own schedule had a minor change, she still honored our booking without missing a beat. Knowing our pups were in such caring, dependable hands made all the difference. I highly recommend her services!
She did a wonderful job making sure my cats were comfortable, happy, and fed every day while I was away for a week. She communicated well and was attentive to all the needs of my special-needs cat and my kittens. I felt confident knowing they were in caring and capable hands!
I’ve had Sora take care of my senior cat multiple times already while Im away and feel confident that I’m leaving my cat in good hands. My cat needs to be given several medications and Sora is able to handle that with no issues. She also updates me regularly. Will definitely rebook in the future.
Ji Hae was wonderful with our dogs. She came to meet them before we left town. She fed both and medicated our Australian Shepherd/Husky mix. Ji Hae walked both dogs and made sure they had plenty of water. She kept us updated with photos and left the house neat. I’m confident in recommending Ji Hae’s services.
Gabby has a great understanding of canine/human dynamics and used that skillset to deliver an outstanding visit with our dogs. Being the first time watching them (Carson & Charlie) in our/their home space, she immediately gained the dog's trust and then expanded the relationship by playing games with them (chase, fetch, etc.). She took them on a pleasant walk through the neighborhood, something both dogs enjoyed very much. Throughout the visit Gabby kept us informed via pictures and videos, which alleviated any pet-parent anxiety we might have had. I wholeheartedly recommend Gabby for your pet care needs. You're welcome to reach out to me for any additional details and/or questions.

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.

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.

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 .
