“Lizet was wonderful with bear. She gives you updates and photos/ videos on your pet which it really appreciative of. She treats your pets like they were her own. Bear felt comfortable with lizet and you can tell she enjoyed her stay with lizet. Bear found her forever sitter and new friends 😁💙”
“Amorn & Adam took care of my Sesame for 4 days and did an amazing job! I could tell that Sesame had a great time and felt very safe in their care! They sent lots of updates and photos/videos, which I’m grateful for, and were very flexible with pick up/drop off. I would 100% recommend them, and look forward to connecting with them again!”
“So happy we found Armando! I was a little nervous about finding the right sitter because my dog can be unsure of new people and really hates being away from me. He was a bit hesitant when we first arrived, but Armando was incredibly patient with him and took the time to ask lots of questions about his habits, routine, and preferences to make sure he was as comfortable as possible during his stay. This was one of the first nights my boy had ever been away from me, so I was definitely an anxious dog mom! Armando stayed communicative throughout the entire overnight stay and sent me pictures and updates, which I was so thankful for and really helped put my mind at ease. When I came to pick him up, he was happy, healthy, and already so friendly and comfortable with Armando after just one stay! That alone says so much to me. I’m very happy with the care he received and feel so much better knowing we have someone we can trust with him. Highly recommend Armando! 🐾❤️”
“Candy is wonderful!! Caring, loving, knowledgable. Everything you want in a caretaker when you can't be there yourself. Big house and big back yard! I'll definitely be using her again. Ruby had a good time! Thank you, Candy!!”
“Hershey had a wonderful time staying with Nayira and her family! We were updated daily with her well being and all the pics showed all smiles. Would reach out again for future sitting needs as I am happy with the care, communication, and enrichment our Hershey received during our time away.”
“Ziggy had a great time with Arthur & Hayley! We received lots of updates throughout the stay, and they were very communicative during the entire process. Easy decision!”
“Chan and Jibin took great care of my dog and kept me updated on how he was doing the whole weekend. Thank you so much for making sure all of his needs were met”
“We left our dog with the family overnight. I don’t think he wanted to come home with us. He must have been having to much fun with the family. They sent me lots of pictures and let me know how he was doing. We will defiantly be using Nicole and Michel again.”
“Olga and her family went above and beyond for my dog’s stay. We were nervous after an incident with a previous sitter but Olga did everything to put our minds at ease, from hopping on a zoom call to share more about her space and approach to giving my dog through time to acclimate and meet her family before I left. Her family is so sweet, I left knowing my dog was in many great hands. Would absolutely book with Olga again!”
“Marc and Lori were so wonderful to my Freddie. It was the perfect home away from home. They kept me updated with lots of fun photos, they are extremely responsive and even sent Freddie home with Christmas presents. I would highly recommend!’”
“Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. Sonia, you were more than a special dog sitter, you were like a special auntie. I could tell by all the photos you sent me, that you made her feel so comfortable & safe in your home. You made sure she felt protected & loved & i really appreciate that. I will recommend you to anyone looking for a sitter & I will Bring Misty back to you again. Thank you again.”
“My dog, Bert, loves being with Stacey and her dog, Lucy. Stacey sends lots of pics and Avery always looks happy. I appreciate all that Stacey does to make sure Bert feels right at home and loved. Thanks❤️”
“Great job!! Had a last minute need for a sitter and they were thankfully able to accommodate me. Had quick communication, sent regular photo/updates, and even took him to the park. Treated him like one of their own and I’m so happy. Ramone had a great time, we’ll definitely rebook!”
“Natasha and her family are just the best! It's like my pup has a home away from home and I can't recommend them enough. He is so happy at their house and so well taken care of. I am very grateful to have them nearby and helping me out with my high energy love. Thank you!”
About: I’ve been around and cared for pets since I was young, and I understand that every cat has their own personality and comfort level. I’m patient with shy or cautious cats and will give them the time and space they need to feel comfortable. I’m happy to provide feeding, fresh water, litter box care, playtime, companionship, and plenty of gentle attention. I’ll also keep you updated while you’re away so you can have peace of mind knowing your cat is safe and cared for. I also have experience caring for our Laila, our senior dog, so I’m comfortable with older pets who may need a bit of extra patience, softness, and attention. I’m a full-time homemaker, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your cat. I’m available for drop-ins, house sitting, and regular visits, and I can give your cat plenty of attention, playtime, feeding, and companionship while you’re away. I provide a calm, clean, and loving environment where your cat can feel safe and comfortable. I’m attentive to their routines, feeding instructions, litter box needs, and personality. I’ll treat your home and your pet with the same care and respect I would give my own. I also have experience caring for our beloved senior dog, Laila, so I understand the extra patience and gentle care older pets may need.
“I can’t recommend Desiree enough. I had never left my older pups with anyone outside the family before and was nervous to leave them in an environment unknown to them. Desiree was amazing, as soon as I met Desiree and she met my boys, I felt instant relief. I knew they were in great hands with her and her family. I loved seeing how much fun they were having and could tell they felt at home and comfortable through the many photos and videos Desiree sent. I could not ask for a better care taker of the pups in my absence. I feel like the pups have found their home away from home and will definitely be hanging out with Desiree more in the future!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Pacoima
We couldn’t have asked for a better first Rover experience! This was our first time leaving our dog with a sitter, and Lizet made us feel completely at ease. We loved receiving the daily photos and videos—they gave us so much peace of mind knowing she was happy and well cared for. It was clear she was treated like family. And Lola was such a great companion to our dog. We are so grateful for the excellent care and have already book again for our next trip. Highly recommend!
This was my first Rover booking. I was so nervous because I just didn’t know what to expect and sometimes I feel that my dogs require more than the average dog. I was very happy that my dogs were so eager to go with Carola. They don’t react this way at their usual groomer. I believe that your animals are the most intuitive and feel all of the energies. This gave me a lot of confidence in leaving them with someone who is technically a stranger. Carola was so communicative with drop off and pick up and I am definitely going to have my dogs go back to her in the future. Thank you so much Carola! My babies loved staying with you.
I was sent pictures through out Aces stay and it’s safe to say he looked very comfortable. Typically if he’s scared and feeling anxious he’s not very active but he was playing with the ball and exploring the new grass areas at his stay. Thank you so much! We will be back.

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.

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Pacoima can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Pacoima home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Pacoima.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Pacoima. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
You and your Pacoima sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in CA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
