About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my whole life! I have amazing patience and think all animals deserve the world. I have taken care of puppies and seniors, but I am also happy to meet any accommodations your friend might need! I’m currently a full time student who has a very open and adjustable schedule! I can’t have any animals stay with me in my dorm but I’m more than happy to make multiple trips to take care of your animals need. I will happily follow any rules and special accommodations your pet needs. Whether it cleaning their teeth or helping them go potty, I’m here to help!
About: I have experience in working at a doggy daycare taking care of pets that need boarding, as well as pets that just needed play time! Along with that I have been dog and house sitting for family friends for many years, and I have 3 dogs of my own that I helped train and continue to take care of! I’m currently a college student with a pretty light schedule so I have plenty of time to give your pets the attention and care they deserve! When I am looking after a pet I do my best to make them feel safe and comfortable with me right off the bat without pressuring them because I know many animals are cautious with new friends!
About: What makes me different from other sitters is my genuine love for animals and my commitment to providing personalized care for each pet. I don't just see it as a job; I treat every animal as if they were my own, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and happy while you're away. My afternoons and evenings are quite flexible and perfect for pet care! After school gets out around 2 PM, I'm free to dedicate my time to your furry friends. My weekends are completely open, so I can offer full-day care, overnight stays, or even just longer visits to give your pet extra attention. I'm happy to tailor my schedule to meet your specific needs and your pet's routine! I'm also available for check-in visits before 2 PM, if needed, but my availability is limited due to school. General care: I always follow your specific instructions for feeding, medication, and exercise. I make sure your home is secure when leaving, and I'm always vigilant about potential hazards to keep your pet safe. Dog walking: I keep dogs on a leash at all times (unless otherwise instructed in a secure area), avoid busy roads, and am always aware of the dog's behavior and surroundings. Overnight stays: I maintain your pet's routine as closely as possible, provide companionship, and ensure they feel safe and comfortable. I also keep you updated with photos and messages. All services: I treat your home with respect, clean up after your pet, and leave everything as I found it. I'm also always available to answer any questions or concerns you may have.

About: I have an extensive background in animal care. I currently own and trained my own dog. I’ve had her for two years already. Prior to her I was apart of FFA for my four years of highschool, raising various different livestock animals for stock show. My sister is also a vet tech and has taught me a lot of well needed knowledge when it comes to caring for pets. I believe they are not just a pet but a life long commitment and we only get to give them the best experience while they are with us. I believe any and all animals deserve the best care possible and each are unique in their own way :). In terms of my regular work schedule, I have a rotation of 5 days on and 5 days off. During the 5 days I am off work I am available for any of your pets needs, ranging from house sitting to basic walks and more. I’m sure with proper communication we can work out whatever schedule needed to match you and your pets needs :). My dog is crate trained but spends most of her time outside her crate since she is house trained as well as potty trained. She has well established boundaries which I believe is important as a dog owner. She is fed 3 times a day with 1 1/2 cups each feed. She is also up to date on all her vaccinations and is completely socialized. We also groom her 1-2 times a month. When I am working we schedule regular walking visits so her activities are regulated and she stays active :).

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred North San Pedro walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in North San Pedro maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in North San Pedro choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 , 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 .
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
