“Jessica is wonderful! She always gives me a prompt response to my questions and booking requests and always communicates very professionally, while giving me regular updates about her visits. She is also great with my dog and I know she loves my dog like her own 😊 I highly recommend her!”
“Jennifer is amazing; i always know my cat is in great hands when I leave him with her. I've been a regular client of hers for a few years now, and don't plan on changing that any time soon!”
About: I have always been a pet lover and I have been taking care of cats and dog (and the occasional fish, rabbit and other rodents) for over 30years! I work for myself with a small clothing business and I also care for my school age child and occasionally volunteer at the school. This makes my schedule fairly flexible In my own home, all 3 of my cats are up to date on all shots and flea treatments. They are all chipped and neutered. I also Trap-Neuter-Release feral cats in my neighborhood
“It was our great fortune to have had Lissi care of our two cats during a 10 day trip to Italy. Lissi provided care far above and beyond the call of duty. She has an exceptionally positive attitude and was very responsive whenever needed. She was always timely with her arrivals and stayed for the full 30 minutes if not longer. One of our two cats is painfully shy, however, he instantly warmed up to Lissi on the very first visit! That was truly remarkable and a testament to Lissi’s ability to connect with each animal as they are. She provided wonderful daily updates with photos and videos, which were so reassuring to us while we were so far away from home. We never worried for one moment about the welfare of our animals while they were in her care. More than simply feeding and cleaning, Lissi spent quality time with our cats, loving them, petting them and playing with them…and giving them lots of treats as we had asked! She noticed and notified us of a behavioral issue that was quickly resolved thanks to her careful observations. Lissi embodies the spirit of a true animal lover and caregiver. Rover is very fortunate to have such a person working with them. We recommend her wholeheartedly and trust that you will be filled with the same gratitude, reassurance and peace of mind that we have enjoyed thanks to her!”
“We were so grateful to have Jennylyn take care of our cat while we were out of town. She responded to our messages promptly and kept us updated with regular photos and reports. Our cat can be quite sassy, mischievous, and not always friendliest, but Jennylyn was very patient and handled things wonderfully. We felt at easy knowing our cat was in great hands. We'd definitely book with Jennylyn again and recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter.”
“Hannah was very responsive and sent loads of photos. She asked great questions during our meet and greet and brought treats for my three dogs so they could get familiar with her. She is such a kind and warm presence and I'm looking forward to book her again in the future- and I'm sure my pups are looking forward to it too!”
About: When I was born my family already had 2 cats and 2 dogs. Once they passed we got two more cats and 2 more dogs. Since then we’ve gotten a few more cats that were strays and needed a home. I love to care for pets because they’re always there when I need them. I work part-time so it is easy for me to find time to care for animals. It’s something I’m passionate about and I want to help out as much as I can. We have a pretty spacious backyard where our dogs can run around. We keep all of our cats inside due to losing a couple in the past to some tragic outside accidents.
About: Hi! My name is Alexa, I’m a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs and other animals of many personalities and ages. I recently relocated to California and have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive and reliable pet care. I am happy to help with dog walking, drop-in visits, overnight care, puppy care, and providing extra patience for senior dogs or pets who may feel anxious when their owners are away. I have a 2 year old fur baby of my own, Arlo; who's taught me how important routine, exercise, and affection are for a dog’s happiness and well-being. I’m always able to adjust to your pet's needs and personality. Whether they love long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing with someone nearby. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I enjoy spending the majority of my time with animals and being active outdoors. I structure my schedule to allow plenty of time for walks, playtime, feeding, and making sure pets get the attention they need throughout the day. I am sure to keep their routine as consistent as possible with what they’re used to at home. I follow instructions closely when it comes to feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special needs. I know pets are family, and I treat every animal in my care with the same love, patience, and respect I would give Arlo ❤️. In a client’s home, I’m very respectful of both the pet’s environment and the home itself. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while also keeping their surroundings clean and calm. I pay close attention to their behavior and energy levels to make sure they are happy and stress-free while you're away. Communication is also important to me, I like to provide updates and photos so you can feel reassured that your fur babies are doing well.
“Christina is great! I’ve booked her several times and she is communicative, trustworthy, and flexible. Always puts me at ease when we’re away and the kitties and tortoise enjoy her company. Highly recommend.”
“Bronte took a last-minute booking to look after our cat Pacho, which we really appreciated. She had no issues handling his picky eating and daily routine. She is reliable, communicative, and clearly loves animals. We would recommend her without hesitation to other pet parents!”
About: For the last 15 years, I've worked with hundreds of animal rescues and supervised veterinary teams to care for animals of all kinds. I've learned everything from reading behaviors to administering meds and cleaning wounds...but just as importantly, I've learned how to make animal's feel safe and loved. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else. I've fostered dozens and have three of my own (all with different energy levels, high and low) so trust that I know how important it is to find someone who will love them like family. In a way I'd want for my own pets. I'm also currently expecting my first baby (yay!), so I'm taking a step back from my regular career for a while. That means I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets the attention they deserve. I'm currently taking a step back from my full-time career to enjoy my first pregnancy (I'm still quite early), so I have a very flexible schedule and am around most days :) I always try to keep routines as normal as possible while you're away. I'll send plenty of updates (I usually have my camera with me, so expect lots of photos!) and make sure they get all the love, exercise, and attention they're used to. I'm comfortable administering meds, performing injections, wound care, nail trims, and anal gland expressions. One of my dogs is a GSP, so high-energy dogs are right up my alley, and I'm always happy to keep up with walks, adventures, or training. Honestly, I'm here to care for your pet in whatever way makes you feel most comfy, even if that just means sitting on the couch while we watch some old movies. I'm also happy to water plants, bring in mail, or take care of the little things around your home while you're away. My goal is that you come home to a happy pet and a house that's exactly how you left it.
About: What sets me apart is the genuine care and attention I give to every pet. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, so I take the time to make each visit comfortable and enjoyable. I’m reliable, patient, and happy to follow your pet’s specific needs and your instructions. Even though I’m new to Rover, I’m committed to giving your pet the same care and attention I’d want for my own. I’m occasionally available on Fridays and have flexible availability throughout the weekend. I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual routine and provide reliable, attentive, and loving care whenever you need an extra helping hand. I take safety seriously and always follow each pet parent’s care instructions and routine. Before walks, I make sure the leash and harness are secure and check the surroundings before opening the door. I never let dogs off-leash in unfamiliar areas. In hot weather, I avoid the hottest part of the day, bring water, and pay attention to paw safety. On rainy days, I shorten outdoor time when needed and make sure your pet is clean and dry afterward. If I notice vomiting, diarrhea, seizures, or any unusual behavior, I’ll keep your pet safe and calm, document what I observe with a short video when appropriate, and contact you immediately. If veterinary care is needed, I can contact your preferred vet with your authorization. I’ll also send you real-time updates, photos, and short videos throughout the visit so you can feel comfortable knowing how your pet is doing. Before leaving, I always make sure your pet is comfortable, has fresh water, and that all doors and gates are securely closed.
About: I’ve been dog sitting since I was 16 for friends, family, and online clients, and I genuinely love being around animals. I’m responsible, respectful, and very attentive to each pet’s routine and personality. I know trusting someone with your pet — and sometimes your home — is a big deal, so I always make communication and reliability a priority. I’m happy to send plenty of updates and photos, follow any instructions you leave, and make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable while you’re away. Whether they love walks, playtime, or just hanging out, I’ll treat your pet with the same care and attention I’d want for my own. I’m a college student with a pretty flexible schedule, and I have my own car, so getting back and forth for pet care is never an issue. I’m always willing to make the trip to make sure your pet gets the attention, walks, feeding, and care they need. I also work part-time, but my shifts are typically only 3–4 hours, so I’m never away for long periods of time. I’m great at planning around my classes and work schedule and making pet care a priority! Safety, Trust & Environment I always try to keep pets as close to their normal routine as possible so they feel comfortable and safe. I follow all feeding, walking, medication, and care instructions closely, and I make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and affection based on their personality! When I’m in a client’s home, I’m also very respectful of their space and make sure everything is kept clean and secure. I’ll always communicate clearly, send updates and photos, and make sure you feel confident that both your pet and your home are being well taken care of!
About: I’ve had dogs and cats all my life and I have experience with sitting for my friends pets as well as pet sitting for all types of cats and dogs I am in school to help me get hired as a veterinary assistant. It is asynchronous and online so my schedule is completely open as of right now. I will care for clients pets in their home so that the pet may feel as if their owner never left. Getting details about schedules or small things that are important to know.

(They're more old-school and don't use their email anymore- I can provide their number directly.) I am currently an on-call substitute teacher Monday through Friday, so my availability is dependent on that. I'm always willing to compromise and am happy to make accommodations as necessary! 🐾 * "UPCOMING WORK DAYS" will be updated as frequently as possible.

These visits are for YOU and I want to meet you and your pets' needs! 🤎
About: I have spent over 20 years caring for humans and I am expanding my caregiving to pets! I have experience with puppies, dogs, and cats. I work mostly remote so I have flexibility in my schedule to drop in to visit, walk, and play with your pets! I am used to caring for my own dog and do daily walks and games. I am used to dropping into neighbors homes to help with dogs and cats. I am able to feed, walk, play, and do some enrichment activities.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Los Alamitos
Jennifer has visited and looked after our 'furry baby' 15 times since we retired in 2023. She is so kind, conscientious, thorough, caring, and loving. Always ready to go above and beyond while looking out for his safety, happiness, and well-being. Consistently and repeatedly exercising exceptional judgment on those occasions that've called for it, as well as each time she's been unable to reach us or our alternate contacts. To the point that we no longer book any trip without first asking Jennifer for her availability.
Asmita was fantastic. Timely, communicative, and very flexible when some of my house and pet needs changed while I was gone. She sent videos and photos daily and provided photos to show tasks had been completed in real time. Would absolutely love to have Asmita again for future bookings! 10/10
Bronte was great and very understanding. My cats spent most of her visits hiding because she's new and they don't know her. But Malí eventually ventured out and decided Bronte was ok. Hopefully Malí will tell Felis and he'll come out of hiding next time. Thanks, Bronte!
Hannah was very responsive and sent loads of photos. She asked great questions during our meet and greet and brought treats for my three dogs so they could get familiar with her. She is such a kind and warm presence and I'm looking forward to book her again in the future- and I'm sure my pups are looking forward to it too!
Shana is great! I hired her to take care of our tortoises that live outside while we were gone for 9 days. Not only did they need daily food and water, but their house also needed to be cleaned regularly. They’re pretty large tortoises so they also make big messes. She updated me every day, took pictures, and I came home to a spotless tortoise enclosure which was a dream. She really cared for them the way we do and I knew she bonded with them from her messages. If you’re looking for someone who is reliable, trustworthy and extremely caring, hire Shana!

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 Los Alamitos 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 .
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.

- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
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.
