About: I have taken care of animals for as long as I can remember! I am constantly around animals and having to commit myself to taking care of them. I am comfortable around all dogs and am willing to adapt and learn how to best care for your animal. When I come to take care of, play with, and walk your dogs | will dedicate my time to loving them. I would love to be able to take them to the dog park where they can also interact with other animals while you're away! I’m a responsible and caring college student who loves animals, as I have one of my own which is a Yorkie named Obi! I am currently working part time only in the mornings, I am typically off between 12-1pm and am available for drop ins or house sittings when needed! I am also flexible and can accept last minute bookings. When in your home, I would love to take your fur babies for walks, to dog parks, anything you already do with them to make them the most comfortable! 30 Minute Dog Walks include a fun stroll around your neighborhood or a nearby trail to give your pup the exe fresh air, and mental stimulation they need during the • 30 Minute Drop-Ins include potty breaks, feeding, playing and of course plenty of snuggles to keep your pet happy and comfortable while you're away.
“Bronte looked after our cat Pacho for five days. We got photos and updates after each drop-in visit. It was clear Pacho loved her. Bronte is caring, communicative and trustworthy and I would without hesitation recommend her to other pet parents.”
“Jessica is absolutely amazing! She is quick to reply, always leaves our pup happy and tired out and even goes out of her way to ensure visits go smoothly on busy days. Freckles adores her and looks forward to seeing her every few weeks. She’s the kind of dog walker/sitter you almost want to gatekeep because she is so great with our pup.”
About: I have been around dogs all my life. I rescued and raised my own terrier mixes, including my senior dog, Annie who is 12. I have cared for neighbors’ dogs of all sizes. I’ve attended numerous training classes for my own dogs. I love being with dogs and will treat yours like family. I am a school teacher and have weekends and summers off. During the summer I have more availability, mornings, afternoons and evenings. During the school year I am available in the evenings and weekends. I have a small fenced in backyard. My little dog Annie gets along well with other dogs. I walk my her twice a day every day. I understand the importance of a routine, attention and playtime.
“We appreciate Jennifer taking care of Cooper while we are away. She does a great job of keeping us updated with terrific notes and photos. And Cooper warms up to her each time. A win all the way around.”
About: I grew up in a house where there always seemed to be animals in every corner, so it's probably no surprise that I ended up making a career out of caring for them. 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.
“She was great with our cats and took the extra time to care for them. She followed all instructions for cat care and helped keep our cat’s food area clean (no easy feat since we have some messy eaters here haha). She was very attentive to detail with our pets. We were always kept up to date with how our cats were doing and felt comfortable working with her. Definitely would recommend this cat/dog sitter for your loved ones since she did a great job!! Thanks so much!”

“Kristen was amazing. She came by every day while I was on vacation to take care of my dogs, giving them plenty of playtime and snuggles while also making sure the house stayed in order. She even brought packages in and rotated the lights, which helped me feel at ease while I was away. She sent regular updates and photos that showed how happy and relaxed my pups were. She also scheduled a meet and greet a week beforehand and was so thorough and professional. I felt completely comfortable trusting both my dogs and my home to her. I would absolutely use her again and highly recommend her!”
“I am so grateful for Ashley’s understanding and care. She was willing to extend her time to help care for Midnight while I was taking care of a personal matter. I look forward to hiring her again.”
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.
“Nicole took great care of our dog while we were on vacation. Not only did she walk and care for our dog daily, she communicated regularly and checked in whenever she had questions. She is personable, attentive to details, and a total natural when it comes to caring for pets. We would totally ask Nicole to care for our pet again and highly recommend her to other pet owners.”
About: I was a volunteer dog walker at an animal shelter in Orange County. I've been living with dogs since I was a child. Fluent in Japanese. I currently have a full time job, but I am available for your dogs on Thursdays and Fridays after 4:30 pm and on weekends all day. I would like to know your dogs energy level and what they like to do (or don't like to do) to adjust activities with them
“Kelsy is absolutely wonderful - she has such a positive energy and our cats took to her right away. She is communicative, dependable, patient, responsive, personable, and most importantly she loves animals and they love her back! I will definitely schedule her services again.”
“Lindsay was great! She went above and beyond with our cats. Even our normally shy cat seemed to warm up to her! Will definitely request her again when we need to leave our fur babies in someone else's care!”
About: I’ve pet sat here and there for friends, to be honest I’m always concerned if I my care will be as up to par as their loving parents. I don’t have any training skills all I can offer is love and attention. And any special instruction offered. I currently work full time 7-4 Tuesday to Saturday. Sundays and Mondays are typically open. During the work week, nothing sounds better than a dog walk or a drop in visit 😊 I have indoor cats. No dogs allowed 😭 I long for a dog walk or a play. I’m new to this service, but I enjoy very much being around my friends dogs. It gives me such joy.
“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.”
“Christian is an excellent Rover! She has watched our cat twice now and he has had a great experience both times. We greatly appreciate the number of pictures and detailed reviews she provides us and highly recommend her to other.”
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Los Alamitos is $25
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Los Alamitos
Soleil was AMAZING, and I genuinely cannot recommend her enough! She took such wonderful care of Lemon while I was away at a conference, and I never had to worry for a second. She was reliable, communicative, incredibly sweet with Lemon, and just made the whole experience so easy. She also went so far above and beyond what I asked her to do. I came home and realized she had cleaned my cat’s litter box AND taken out the trash—neither of which was remotely part of our arrangement! It was such a thoughtful surprise after a long trip, and honestly just says so much about the kind of person she is. I came home to happy pets and a home that had clearly been really cared for, which is about the best feeling you can have after traveling. Soleil is kind, thoughtful, dependable, and an absolute gem. I would hire her again in a heartbeat and would recommend her to basically anyone who will listen. Lemon and I are officially huge Soleil fans!
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!
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!
This is my second time booking with Asmita to take care of my two cats, and once again, she provided amazing service. She is very easy to work with, attentive, and always made sure my cats were well taken care of. She regularly refilled their water, followed all of my requests and instructions, and even helped take care of my mail and packages, which I truly appreciated. What I appreciated the most was the constant updates through pictures and videos, which gave me peace of mind while traveling and being away from my cats. Most importantly, she spent quality time with them and made them feel comfortable and cared for. I will definitely continue working with Asmita whenever I travel, and her service has always been 100%.
OMG! I cannot even BEGIN to say how GRATEFUL I AM to have Jessica watch my furbabies! This is my 1st time using Rover & I wasn't worried for one MINUTE that they weren't in the BEST CARE! She made sure my guy got his insulin shots on TIME & even THOUGH the Princessa didn't HONOR Jessica with her presence, she was still so happy to see me when I got home & was no worse for wear! I would recommend her to anyone looking for caring, responsible person to take care of your precious babies, Jessica is it! You won't regret it!

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.

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.

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.
