“It is our first time boarding our dog, so we were a bit nervous, but Soonok was amazing! Our dog likes to walk outside, and Soonok brought him out for walks and even updated us with photos and videos. We appreciate Soonok being communicative and for taking great care of our dog. 5 stars for sure!”
“Sue was great with my senior cat! He's been having to move a lot with our military move so it was wonderful knowing he was in a comfortable and safe environment while we were busy and well loved.”
“Corinne and Louis are amazing! You can tell they really care about dogs and they treated Wallie like their own. I was sent several updates and they communicated very well throughout the day. We plan on using them again!”
About: I’ve been a lifelong dog lover and understand that pets are family. I have experience caring for puppies, adult dogs, and senior dogs, and I’m comfortable administering medications, following detailed care instructions, and maintaining each dog’s regular routine. I’m committed to providing a safe, loving, and comfortable environment where every dog feels at home. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, or relaxing with plenty of attention, I’ll make sure they feel happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I carefully follow each pet’s feeding schedule, exercise routine, medications, and any special instructions to ensure consistency and peace of mind. You can count on regular photo updates, reliable communication, and dependable care throughout your dog’s stay. My goal is to treat every dog like family and make their time with me fun, safe, and as stress-free as possible—for both you and your pet. I’m available for weekend boarding and love giving dogs a safe, comfortable, and loving home away from home. Every dog receives personalized care based on their routine, energy level, and personality. Whether your pup enjoys long walks, playing fetch, snuggles, or simply relaxing in a quiet environment, I make sure they feel happy, secure, and loved throughout their stay. Please message me with your scheduling needs and I will do my best to accommodate. Thank you <3 Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. My home is clean, calm, and pet-friendly, with plenty of space to relax and a fully fenced yard for safe, supervised outdoor time. I never leave dogs unattended outside, and I closely monitor them during play and throughout the day. A crate is available if your dog is crate-trained or if they feel more comfortable having their own quiet space.
“Thank you so much, so Awesome and felt very comfortable leaving my dog Lotto in your care for 5 days The constant pictures and communication eased my anxiety. ? I would highly recommend and look forward to using you in the near future ?”
“My dog Lucy a large Goldendoodle loved her time spent with Jennifer . There were a couple of dogs for her to play with and she seemed really happy when we went to pick her up. She never stays with anyone so I’m very happy it went so well . Thank you Jennifer”
“Absolutely amazing experience leaving our beloved Bulldogs with Sara and her family for a long weekend. She had great questions at drop-off, was in constant communication with updates and photos throughout the stay, and even provided cute little pet report cards at pick-up. HIGHLY recommend. We will definitely be requesting her services again the future.”
“This sitter is highly recommended. She provided excellent care and the TLC she provided my pet came from her naturally; it’s clear that she has a natural connection with animals. I will be a repeat customer.”
“Erin is a gem. She worked around my schedule and cared for my dog Journey while I was in the hospital. He made new friends while he was there and was exhausted when he came home from his adventure. She was very accommodating to his special diet and supplement routine as well. We will be a returning client as needed so Journey can have more new adventures and be embraced by Erin’s care.”
“Laura took such great care of my baby Logan! She communicated very well and even sent me video showing how he was doing. Highly recommended! She was really flexible and accommodating, especially considering my very last-minute booking. Thank you, Laura!”
“Marylin took good care of our two doggies. Loved the pictures and communication. We were 1st time Rover users, if Marylin is the caliber of sitters, we will be using Rover more back in Oregon.”
“Kim and Matthew were excellent caretakers for our pup for a one night stay at their home! We had never used Rover before and we could not have been more pleased. They treated our girl like their own and sent us pictures of her relaxing comfortably which really put our minds at ease. They also have a 10 year old son who played with her. If you are looking for a warm, friendly, responsible and communicative family to care for your pet, look no further! 10/10 highly recommend!!”
“Our dog Blue had the best time staying with Dianiris and her family. From the get go, Dianiris responded quickly to texts and was very kind and reassuring (I might have been having a little separation anxiety of my own lol). I really appreciated all of the check-ins and photos she sent while Blue was with her too. Dianiris will definitely be our go-to sitter if we are back in the area!”
“Merve was a fantastic cat sitter! I highly recommend her. She was very patient, kind, and caring as my anxious kitty took a few days to warm up and get used to his new settings. She took amazing care of my cat, was very easy to communicate with, and I am so grateful as this was the longest amount of time I was ever away from my cat (3 weeks). Thank you, Merve!”
“Grateful they were able to accommodate us last minute! My dog is a gentle giant and they kept him safe for us for the night, I loved getting picture and videos. Thank you!”
“We left our 3+ year dog with Wanda recently. This was our first time trying rover and it seems Wanda loved & pampered our dog a lot! Wanda is in a nice neighborhood in Long beach which made us feel safe leaving our dog with her. She sent pictures throughout & her conversations made us feel she is very experienced with dogs & understands them. Our dog hasn’t been around other dogs so we really appreciated that she only takes 1 client at a time. She made extra effort to make our dog feel comfortable with Gidget as well. We will definitely reach out to Wanda next time we need dog boarding!”
“Moose 2nd time here and he loves it. Ximena and her whole family is very passionate with Moose. He loves staying at their home. For Moose, it's like home.away from home ❤️❤️❤️. Definitely will rebook again.”
“Megan and her family provided exceptional care for Ollie, ensuring he was treated as one of their own. If you are feeling anxious about leaving your pets, rest assured that they are in good hands. I was in a bind and they came through for me. Thank you very much! I will use services again. 😇”

Julie and Maria were amazing ❤️. I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter. I was sent many images and videos that showed that Trixie was having the time of her life. They played ball with her and hung out with her by the pool. You can tell that they made sure to make Trixie feel comfortable. She was able to break out of her shell with them. Thank you so much Julie and Maria 😊 I will definitely be booking with you guys again 🫶 Thank you for all the updates and for giving Trixie a home away from home ❤️
Sara was AWESOME!!! She communicated really well, has a perfect set up for boarding, and loved our dogs as much as we do! Her daughter was super cute & helpful as well. There were lots of pictures, updates, and even Report Cards at the end. We HIGHLY recommend Sara. We will DEFINITELY use her again!!
Sabrina was absolutely amazing! She treated my dog like her own, took him to the beach for his first time, and gave me many updates with pictures. She was so good with communication I had zero anxiety of him being with her. I trust her completely and I look forward to booking her again!
Maple had a wonderful stay with Violet's family. Our dog loves to be around people and we could tell that Violet took care of Maple as if she were her own. She was communicative, friendly, and very accommodating to make changes to our stay. I would highly recommend Violet and we will definitely be using her again in the future!
She was actually wonderful. She fed my dog as instructed and exercised him with other dogs. He loved the green fenced backyard. He was so comfortable that he slept close to her while I was away. I was sent pictures and even videos of his activities. He was completely safe and comfortable while I was away for three days
Des took such great care of Belka the week we were gone traveling. Belka can be so anxious and unsure of people, but by the time I returned, Belka had opened up so much to Des that she didn’t want to leave their side! It made me so happy to know Belka was being taken care of by someone who wanted to make sure, above all else, Belka was comfortable :’) We also really appreciated the photos and videos and the check-ins on how Belka is… We missed her a lot, but we never worried about her once since we knew Des was taking care of her!
She’s amazing! You can tell that she truly loves dogs. My dog has a lot of anxiety and as soon as I handed her my dog she tried to reassure my dog that it would be okay. She sent me pictures and videos of my dog throughout her stay. My dog looked very happy. I highly recommend her.
We were nervous to leave our near 1 yr old dog for vacation, as this would be her first time, but she meshed really well when we went to visit Asmita, and although still nervous she did really great. Asmita really made sure to make her feel at home and sent us tons of photos, showing her not only surviving, but seeming to enjoy herself. This is more than we could hope for. Would definitely recommend Asmita to others and use her services again.
The whole family truly loves and cares for animals. My dog usually has a hard time with other owners, but this time he seemed very comfortable and happy. It was also very encouraging to receive photos and updates while I was away. I strongly recommend entrusting your pet to them! 🐶✨️
My first time using rover and Stephanie was so wonderful! My pup stayed at her house and had so much fun with her pup and playing in the backyard. Drop off and pick up the as a breeze, She sent multiple updates every day and was so responsive. I would absolutely use her again!

Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
94% of Los Alamitos sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Los Alamitos landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Los Alamitos home-away-from-home, we recommend 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 Los Alamitos.
Tip: 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 Los Alamitos 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 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 .
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.
