“Jessica became besties with my sweet kitty in no time! She provided excellent service, treated my baby like a little princess, and shared the most adorable photos! She’s super responsive and very professional.”
“Laura is a sweet and attentive person who is a pleasure to talk to. The pets all come to greet her when she comes over and she gives them lots of love. She goes above and beyond regarding what I needed and doesn’t rush. Thank you so much.”
“Lissi was an excellent sitter for my 2 cats! She always kept me updated with how they were doing and made sure they were fed and had water and a clean litter box. Highly recommend for any of your animal care needs! 😊”
“Jack is a great communicator and took excellent care of my pup! He accommodated my request on short notice, was prompt and I’d highly recommend him to anybody looking for pet care. I will definitely rebook him again.”
“Emily has been so thoughtful with her check ins and making sure she asks questions, which I love because it shows she cares about how she takes care of our babies. The cats are slowly warming up to her and it makes me so happy knowing they’ll have a familiar face when we’re on vacation. Highly recommend to anyone who needs a sitter!”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have experience caring for them and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m responsible, patient, and genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs, whether that’s going on walks, playing, or simply keeping them company. I have a very flexible schedule and can accommodate a wide range of pet and house-sitting needs. I’m open to different schedules, including extended stays, overnight sitting, and last-minute bookings when available. My goal is to make things as convenient as possible for both you and your pets. I take safety, trust, and respect very seriously. I understand that when I’m caring for someone’s pet, I’m also being trusted with their home and personal belongings. I treat every household with the same care and respect I would expect for my own, making sure pets are safe and comfortable while keeping the home clean, secure, and well cared for. I’m mindful of boundaries, follow the owner’s instructions, and always leave the home and belongings exactly as I found them.
“Yasmin was super awesome! She took excellent care of my senior kitty. It is hard to leave our baby, but she made us so comfortable. Will definitely be booking with her in the future!”
About: Hi, I’m Katie! 🐾 Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I’ve always felt comfortable and at ease around pets. I’ve had pets my whole life and have experience caring for both dogs and cats for friends and family. For whatever reason, animals just seem to gravitate toward me, and I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality! My background includes working in customer service, a senior center, and summer camps, so I understand the importance of being dependable, patient, attentive, and caring. Whether your pet needs a walk, a quick check-in, some playtime, or just a little extra love and company while you’re away, I’m happy to help! I’m excited to spend time with some wonderful pets, give them the attention they deserve, and help their owners feel confident knowing their furry family members are in good hands. I’m in between jobs so I have a lot of flexibility Monday - Friday 9-3:30 and looking for reasons to get out and walk so let me take you pet out for exercise. I have a backyard with grass and fully fenced in with brick walls taller than 8ft a dog door and no carpet. I have an old sweet hound dog.
About: I have my own dog at home, he’s turning into a little senior but because of my constant day to day care with him, other people around me have asked me to help! I’ve helped sit anywhere from a pug to a puppy Great Dane! I’m very playful with dogs and like to give affection, as well as be someone in their life that makes them feel safe when their owners are away! Im currently working as a weekend nanny and go to school for respiratory therapy! My schedule does change slightly every 10 weeks due to me being in an advanced program, but I have time throughout my day to play around, get out some energy, or even study while having a cuddle session. I prefer being in the environment of another pets home so they feel safer! Caring for pets in a clients home means understanding where they go in terms of sleeping, playing, as well as their limitations inside and outside of the house. Not only keeping the pet safe, but keeping someone’s home watched over is important to me.
About: I’ve loved dogs my whole life and have over 15 years of experience caring for them. We had the sweetest pug who passed away, and I miss having a dog around, so I thought this would be a fun way to get some puppy love while helping other families. I’ll treat your pet like they’re part of our family and make sure they get lots of love, attention, walks, and cuddles while they’re here. I’m also happy to send plenty of pictures and updates! I work from home, and Monday–Wednesday my kids aren’t home while I’m working, so it’ll just be me and your pet during the day. Thursday–Sunday my kids are home, but as long as your pet is good with kids, it shouldn’t be a problem! My kids are very gentle and respectful with animals and know not to bother them. My schedule is flexible, so I have plenty of time for walks, potty breaks, playtime, and lots of attention. I want your pet to feel comfortable and at home while they’re here. I’ll follow whatever routine and instructions you give me, including feeding, walks, medications, or crate time if needed. I’ll always keep a close eye on them and make sure they get plenty of attention and love while they’re in my care.
“I can always count on Christopher! He’s great with Rosie especially since she needs some xtra love and care with post surgery and new diet! Thanks Chris!!”
“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.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs my entire life, and I understand that every pup has their own personality and unique needs. I’ve personally cared for a dog with epilepsy who later became blind, as well as a reactive pup who needed extra patience, attention, and understanding. These experiences have taught me the importance of being attentive, adaptable, and compassionate. I love getting to know each dog and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care! 🐾 I currently have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to accommodate a variety of walking times and pet care needs! I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that works best for you and your pup. Communication is important to me, and I’m always willing to be flexible whenever possible. When caring for pets in their own home, I make it a priority to keep them comfortable by maintaining their normal routines and providing plenty of love, patience, and attention. Having cared for dogs my entire life, including dogs with special needs and reactive behaviors, I understand the importance of being attentive and adapting to each pet’s individual needs. I’m happy to follow specific instructions for feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and anything else that helps your pet feel safe and happy. I also make sure to keep your home tidy and provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
“Madison continues to be a wonderful sitter for our kitties. During an extended time away she spent extra time during her drop in visits so our fur babies wouldn’t be so lonely in our absence. She will give your fur babies lots of love!!!”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for 5 years. I love walking dogs and playing with the animals when house sitting. I always ask what the owners want and follow their instructions. For house sitting can come multiple times a day. Bringing good energy and ready for a walk or play time. I work part time but can come any time on Monday, Tuesday, and can do walks Wednesday through Sunday before 3:40 pm. I am always on the go and love going on beach walks or just walking around the neighbor hoods. For house sitting I can check on the animals through the day and after work can spend the night or do a night check. I take care of our neighbor dog and two cats when she is off traveling. Usually come in the morning and feed animals and play with them. Then I take the dog for a beach walk or we go on a jog in the neighbor hood. Then I come back around lunch and get all the zoomies out check on them and play with them. Then I go before work and after work to let them out and check on them. Before work we usually go on a 20 minute walk just to get them outside. The cats usually follow us on the second walk.
“V was very patient when doing a drop in with my barky girl! She earned her trust by hand feeding her for a while then took her on a quick walk. She followed all instructions, left my dog safe, and locked up the house. I appreciate her help!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Los Alamitos
Samantha was great taking care of our two cats. She was prompt to respond and provided daily updates on their care. Of note, one of our cats is very fearful of new people and will hide under the bed until they leave. Samantha was able to get our cat to come to her. Every time she visited this was very comforting to us because we worry about our cat never coming out from under the bed, we will certainly book her again!
Bronte was wonderful. She made 2 visits a day to check in on my two cats for 3 weeks when I was away. She was always on time, communicative, thoroughly dependable, professional, and great with the cats. There were a few other small unexpected issues that arose with house related stuff - entirely unrelated to the pets - that she graciously took care of for me in my absence. Highly recommended and I'd gladly request her services again!
Asmita was amazing! She was great with the cats and took exceptional care of them. She took detailed notes at the meet and greet and we felt confident leaving them with her. She handled their food, water, litter box, treats, playtime and even walking our cats in their stroller. She treated them like family and was attuned to their needs. She also thought to bring a barrier to keep them from escaping out the front door (as they try to do). We had complete trust in her and we especially appreciated her detailed notes, pictures and videos. We highly recommend booking her and will definitely do so again for our next trip.
We love Serena! From the moment our pets met her they were at ease and happy! We felt immediately too that our dogs were going to be in great hands with her. She is incredibly responsive as well! It’s not always easy to find someone you trust to care for your pets but Serena is awesome! Highly recommend !!!
She was an absolute lifesaver during our move! Thanks to her, I could focus on the move without worrying about him for a single second, and everything went smoothly. I'm genuinely so happy and grateful. She's kind, experienced, and so attentive — I wouldn't hesitate to book her again. Thank you! 💛
Sydney is an absolutely wonderful sitter! She showed our dogs so much love and attention, handled their medications, especially for our finicky little Daisy, and sent us some really cute photos of 2 happy dogs every day. We especially loved that Daisy got sofa time with Sydney. Highly recommended.
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Los Alamitos is $28 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $19 and $40 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 20,483 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Los Alamitos. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Los Alamitos. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
