About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was about 15 years old. Over the years, multiple family members have trusted me to care for their dogs, which gave me the opportunity to learn how to work with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. In 2020, my mom and I welcomed our beautiful Goldendoodle into our family, and caring for her has brought me so much joy. I’ve also spent years helping care for my sister’s small Mini Poodle. I’m very comfortable with both high energy dogs and smaller, more laid-back pups. I understand that every dog is different and that some dogs need extra patience, attention, exercise, reassurance, and support. I’m comfortable keeping up with energetic dogs and making sure they receive the care, love, and attention they need. Most importantly, I believe patience is key. I take the time to understand each dog’s personality, routine, and individual needs so they can feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. 🐾 I currently work full time, but pet care fits well into my routine. I’m primarily available Friday evenings and weekends, with occasional Thursday availability. Spending time with pups brings me joy and helps me recharge, and I take pride in getting to know each pet and their family. I’m very attentive to each pet and make sure their individual needs, routines, and comfort come first. I live in a spacious condo with an unfenced grassy area, and there are several parks close to my home, making it easy to get outside for walks, playtime, and fresh air. I’ll always provide a safe, caring, and comfortable environment where your pup can feel relaxed, loved, and well cared for.

“Keri was wonderful! She was very accommodating and communicative. She really gave us peace of mind leaving our dog under her care while away. She bonded with our dog Archie relatively quick and you could tell she has a way with animals. Would book her again in the future without hesitation. All around great service and experience!”

“Lauren and Ernest provided excellent care and love to our pets- we have a very temperamental cat who loves Lauren, an affectionate doggo who soaked up all the snuggles from Ernest and our lizard Rocky enjoyed a salad prepared by Lauren. The two of them have extensive pet experience and cared for our three pets like their own. Thank you!!”

About: I provide loving, dependable, and attentive care for pets of all ages and personalities. I understand that every pet has different needs, routines, and comfort levels, so I take the time to make sure each one feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while their family is away. I’m comfortable with puppies, adult dogs, and senior pets, including pets who need extra patience, frequent potty breaks, medication reminders, or a little extra attention. I enjoy keeping pets active with walks and playtime while also giving them plenty of cuddles and downtime. What sets me apart is that I treat every pet like family. I’m responsible, communicative, and focused on giving pet parents peace of mind with updates and photos while their pets are in my care. I work from home, which allows me to be home throughout the day and provide pets with plenty of attention and supervision. I’m able to accommodate regular potty breaks, meals, playtime, walks, and lots of love throughout the day. Because I work remotely, pets won’t be left alone for long periods of time. I can easily work their care into my daily routine while making sure they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for. I provide a clean, safe, and loving environment where pets can feel comfortable and at home. We have a fully fenced backyard, giving pets a secure space to enjoy fresh air, play, and get some exercise while being supervised. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, medications, and any special instructions. I also make sure pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, and cuddles.

About: Hi! I’m Laura, and I’d love the opportunity to care for your furry family member. As a flight attendant, I understand how important trust, communication, and reliability are. Whether you’re away for work, vacation, or just need an extra hand, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re gone. I’ve always been an animal lover and know that every pet has their own unique personality and routine. I take the time to get to know each pet so they feel comfortable, whether that means long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply keeping them company. I believe pets thrive when they feel secure, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. While your pet is in my care, you can expect regular photo updates, clear communication, and plenty of reassurance that they’re happy and having fun. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind, knowing your best friend is in caring hands. I look forward to meeting you and your pet and becoming someone you can count on whenever you need dependable, loving care! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine as I currently have a pug. As a flight attendant, my schedule gives me dedicated time at home between trips, allowing me to provide focused, attentive care to the pets I watch. On the days I’m caring for your pet, my schedule revolves around their needs—from morning potty breaks and walks to playtime, meals, and plenty of love and attention throughout the day. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, my priority is making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while keeping their routine as consistent as possible. I take the time to learn each pet’s schedule, including feeding times, potty breaks, walks, exercise, medications (if needed), and any special instructions. I know every pet has a unique personality, so I adjust my care to match their needs—whether they love active playtime, long walks, or quiet cuddles on the couch. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I treat your home with the same respect I would my own. I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, affection, and companionship while maintaining their normal routine to help reduce stress while you’re away.

She met them both where they were at, and they both had a successful first experience getting care from someone other than me or a close friend.”

We have college-aged boys, a boxer, and a terrier mix to play with your dog. Our front yard is enclosed by a four-foot fence between two driveways and the rest of our nearly half-acre lot is partially fenced. I am self-employed part-time outside the home but rarely are no humans home for more than four hours. All of our dogs over the last twenty years have come to us in need of a new home. We also have two cockatiels adopted from the Humane Society. Our driveway wraps around the house. Please use the entrance on the right that has the address post. The gate to the front door is at the front corner of the house. (Updated November 27, 2024) Rover has a tendency to push through requests in excess of our capacity. To you the booking request will look normal. However, to us, Rover acknowledges the request is outside our booking parameters and we can decline without it affecting our metrics. Although we endeavor to accommodate as many of our preexisting clients as we can in such situations our third party insurer limits us to FIVE (5) overnight guest dogs. (Added June 7th, 2023) *** DROP-OFF and PICKUP Schedule. *** Please respect members of our household have responsibilities requiring adequate sleep. Pickup and drop offs outside reasonable hours can be very disruptive. Our neighbors appreciate this, too. Please drop off before 7PM to allow your pet to settle in before bedtime. Please pick up before 8PM. No drop off or pick up before 7AM Monday thru Saturday. No drop off or pick up before 2PM on Sundays, New Year's Day, and July 5th.

NO DROP OFF OR PICK UP ON CHRISTMAS DAY. ** NO DROP OFF OR PICK UP ON DECEMBER 24TH IF IT IS A SUNDAY. *** Food. *** We feed breakfast and dinner. Lunch if a guest eats three meals a day.

This is especially important during the summer and holidays. Please allow for additional days as airline hiccups happen. Please bring a labeled food bowl. We have several water bowls set out around the house. We have limited space for raw or refrigerated food so please check with us before booking.

If Rover required them their insurance would have to cover any unfortunate incidents. Our dogs have been injured during meet and greets. We require one week lead time on new client bookings to allow time to have a meet and greet. Existing clients can book on short notice if we have the availibility. ROVER SYSTEM HAS A TENDENCY TO AUTO CANCEL MEET AND GREETS! If we have NOT contacted you about a scheduling change MEET AND GREET IS STILL ON! If you need to cancel PLEASE CONTACT US or we will assume it is still on. (ROVER %$#$#%#%!!!) *** INDEPENDENCE DAY *** Our neighborhood becomes a war zone! We block out the week leading up to Independence Day to avoid new dog guests. We will accept requests from previous guests that are not easily spooked nor become a flight risk. We have taken in neighbors' spooked dogs so this is a serious concern. *** UNALTERED MALES *** Male dogs that get aggressive when female dogs are around or engage in marking behavior inside the house MUST BE NEUTERED before the next booking! If neutering does not rectify the situation your pet will NO LONGER be welcomed. *** EXTENDED STAYS *** After about three weeks your dog will think our place is his or her new home. If your dog is territorial and aggressive at your fence line, he or she will become territorial and aggressive at ours. Please let us know. Updated October 5, 2023

About: Hi! I have had over 10 years of experience with my own fur babies. Both of my girls have crossed the rainbow bridge but we got to enjoy their golden years together, going for walks and soaking up the sun. As my dogs got older I became a pro in distributing oral medications and eye drops. Roxy (my Shih Tzu) also became blind and deaf so I have experience with those disabilities as well. I give exceptional belly rubs, & will give these babies compliments all day long. I do work full time, but I have a pretty flexible schedule. Saturday - Monday my availability is pretty open. Tuesday - Friday I would be available after 5pm. My neighborhood has wonderful with walking trails that we could explore. I also live next door to my aunt who has a super friendly Corgi and is always looking for friends to play with. I do love to snuggle up with a pup on the couch or bed, but do have space for a crate if that would be more comfortable for them.

“Simply stated, Lacey has been Consistently Fabulous - in every aspect I can think of! I'm new to the area so was anxious about trying to find a trustworthy cat sitter, but Lacey has proven to be the 'bestest' find. My little three-legged kitty, who is typically shy and cautious, decidedly loves her "Lacey time", which is filled with adoring care and cuddles, not to mention the play activities and treats! Lacey goes above and beyond to learn everything needed about how to make these care visits as special and successful as they should be. Thank you, Lacey!”

She did a wonderful job taking care of Lynn while I was away. She was reliable, communicative, and very accommodating with Lynn’s needs and schedule. She even offered to stop by and let Lynn out when no visit was scheduled, which I really appreciated. I felt very comfortable knowing Lynn was in good hands. I would definitely recommend her and would be happy to book with her again!

1 week in to our drop-in service. Our dogs are not well socialized as we rarely have people over but due to a schedule change, we desperately needed somebody to drop in on the dogs and let them roam the yard mid-day. Sophia has been amazing. Patient to a fault, willing to let the dogs move at their own pace to build the relationship and has kept us updated each day on any progress. She is amazing and we could not be happier.

We could not have asked for a better sitter! From the very first meet-and-greet, it was clear our dogs felt completely at ease — and that comfort only grew. We came home to dogs that were relaxed which as a dog parent means everything to me. The photo updates showed the pups who were genuinely enjoying themselves, not just being "watched." It's obvious that Diana has a real gift for making dogs feel safe and loved. We'll absolutely be booking again and recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for a sitter who treats your dog like family.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Pacific

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Pacific on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 12,057 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Pacific. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 Pacific 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Pacific. On Rover:

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% 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 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.
