“Hector was the best taking care of my cat! He was extremely responsible and careful and followed all my instructions to take care of Kitty. I had to travel to my home country for a couple of weeks, and having Hector around made me feel comfortable. He was super responsive to the texts and always made sure he posted an update for me for every visit. He kept my place clean, brought in any packages that were outside of my apartment and took care of everything I asked him to do. I could also see how well he treated Kitty, and how he played with her and pet her. My cat really adores him. He was also super polite with me and it was a pleasure dealing with him. I will definitely call Hector next time a need a sitter, I know my cat will be on the best hands! Thanks a lot, Hector, you are the best! :-)”

About: Hello there pet parents :) I have been involved in rescue work and have been caring for dogs for the last 25 years. I have the natural tendency to be cautious in life and because of this, I overprotect my own pets and especially those pets whom I am entrusted to care for. I take my job very seriously. I must say, the best part of my job is the pleasure of getting to know your fur family as individuals and to appreciate their uniqueness (I love when they can make me laugh). Note, that I pay special attention and am patient with pets who are shy and who need time feeling comfortable. I strive to gain your trust, peace of mind, and repeat business and referrals.
“This was my first time using Rover, so I was a little skeptical. I looked for people who could accommodate 30 min drop-ins and found Elaine. She was so helpful, kind, trustworthy, and attentive. I’ll definitley be contacting her again and recommend her as well! Thank you, Elaine! ?”
About: I’ve had pets since childhood. I currently have a senior dog and my hands-on experience caring for adult dogs with specific emotional needs. Because I live with a senior, I am naturally patient, highly observant, and deeply respect a dog’s established routine. I am fully comfortable administering oral medications, including anxiety medication, and I know how to keep a calm, low-stress environment for pets who get nervous when their owners are away. Whether I am arriving for a high-energy neighborhood walk or providing cozy, in-home sitting, I focus on building trust with your dog at their own pace so they feel completely safe and secure. I’m a part time nanny and because my job doesnt start until 3:45pm my mornings and early afternoons are completely open for adventures! I’m here for bright and early mornings, or lunch drop-ins and daytime playdates. A quick note for house sitting friends: I do head out to my nanny job from about 3:15pm to 10pm on weekdays. I will always make sure your pup gets a long walk, and a full belly right before I leave, and I return immediately afterwards for overnight cuddles. If your sweet fur baby is happy to snooze and do their own thing for a few hours in the evening, we will be an excellent match. I look forward to meeting you and discussing how I can best support your pets daily routine. I already pet sit and house sit for several families in the area, and I make sure to treat every home and pet I visit exactly like my own-with total respect, love, and tons of belly rubs!
“Leaving pets behind is always a nerve-wracking experience. Alexis went above and beyond to make sure our pets were well taken care of. I recommend her 100% and will be booking her again for all of our future pet-sitting needs.”
“Cynthia is amazing, she always updated me with pics and how the pups were doing after her visits. Thank you for checking in on Juneau and Huddy while I was away.”
About: I’ve owned and cared for many pets since I was a child! I have a deep love & care for them and consider them my best friends/ family. As an artist I’m looking to spend my free time where I find inspiration! With animals, nature, and sharing love & care! Spending time with fur babies everyday is heaven on earth I focus on keeping pets safe, relaxed, and well cared for by following their routine as closely as possible. I treat every home with respect, keep everything clean and secure, and make sure pets get plenty of attention, walks, and care. I also send regular updates so you’re never left wondering how things are going.
About: I love animals and have been pet-sitting for friends and family for as long as I can remember. I am excited to help you out and become friends with your dog(s). If you are walking or skating distance (under 5 miles), I can be available regularly AM, afternoon, & PM. Otherwise we will have to schedule 2 days in advance. Thank you! I only offer walks, and pet sitting at your home. This means I will come to your home and have a walking route planned out for your dog, refill fresh water, & food (if needed). If it's cat or cats, I will refill water and food as needed as well. I love animals and Im sure you'll see thay upon meeting the first time. I look forward to helping any way I can.
About: I’ve always been the person friends and family trust to watch their pets because I genuinely love spending time with animals. I know how stressful it can be to leave your pet with someone else, so I do my best to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s a puppy with lots of energy, a senior pet who needs a slower pace and extra care, or a pet that’s a little shy at first, I’m patient and happy to adjust to their needs. I pay attention to the little things, follow routines closely, and love sending updates and photos so you know your pet is doing well. My goal is for your pet to feel like they’re hanging out with a friend, not just being watched I’m currently on summer break from my job as an elementary after-school teacher, so I have a more flexible schedule and extra time to dedicate to pet care. During the summer, I work a part-time job, which allows me to provide care before and after my shifts. I’m able to plan my schedule around pets’ needs and make sure they get the attention, care, and companionship they deserve. I’m also available on weekends for extra visits, overnight care, or just some extra love and attention if needed. 🐾❤️ When caring for pets in your home, I try to keep their routine as normal as possible so they feel comfortable while you’re away. I’ll make sure they’re fed on schedule, have fresh water, clean litter boxes, and get plenty of love and attention. I know every cat is different—some want constant cuddles and playtime, while others prefer their space—so I always let them set the pace. I’ll also send updates and photos so you can relax knowing your cat is happy and well cared for
“It was such a pleasure trusting our cat to such a caring person! She was punctual and attentive, and constantly sent photo and video updates during her visits. Our cat was happy and calm, and we could go about our business with total peace of mind. Highly recommended from the bottom of my heart!”
“Lisa is great! Would highly recommend her services. She dropped in on our two cats while we were out of town - she followed all of our instructions, was extremely communicative and we came home to two very happy cats. Thank you Lisa!!”
About: I am a huge animal lover. I grew up around dogs and have pet sat for many friends and family. I also have spent the last 8 years around cats as well: One of my dogs had Addisons disease so being around sick and emotional dogs is not a problem for me. I can also administer oral medication. I love being around and caring for animals. I am willing to work hard and make sure your dog is taken care of as if they were a part of my own family. I love playing fetch and just running around playing with dogs. I have no problem also spending my time with puppies in fact I would greatly enjoy it. I would also love to take your dog for walks even in cold weather. If you have a cat I would enjoy spending time playing with them and I am willing and able to scoop, change, and sweep up cat litter as this is something I do on a daily basis for my own cat Leo. I hope you will consider me. I am currently a student so as long as I am not in class I am free to check on your pets. Most of my classes are afternoon and evening but there are sometimes breaks in between classes as well. I am also completely free on weekends. I would make sure to let your dog out or take them for a walk so they go potty. I would make sure they are fed and just generally spend time with them brushing, playing, or just petting. If the pet is a cat I would make sure to check and scoop the litter and make sure they have food and of course spend some time with them brushing or playing.

I highly recommend my dog sitter! He is always on time, very responsible, and does a great job taking care of my dog. I really appreciate his daily updates and reports—they give me peace of mind while I’m away. I will definitely book him again the next time I go on vacation. Thank you for taking such good care of my fur baby! 🐾❤️
I booked Ana to take care of my cat while I was away and it was my first time using Rover. She was very communicative, the meet and greet went well, and my cat totally trusted her off the bat. She paid close attention to detail while following my pets regular routine and my pet felt right at home while I was away. Would definitely trust Ana to take care of my cat again, she was great!
Joanna was great with my kitties and they warmed up to her super quick which is unusual! She was very communicative the entire week which gave me such peace of mind while away. It felt great to know my babies were being so well taken care of. Would definitely rebook.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Pacoima is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $6 and $39 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 16,567 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Pacoima. 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 Pacoima. 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.
