About: I grew up and have been around dogs my whole life. I’ve been cat sitting for friends for years. I love all animals but have the most experience with cats and dogs. I have open availability and here to help. I have open availability at the moment. So even if it’s last minute I can help. I am reliable and as long as I’m not booked up I’m willing to help. I will care for the pets in their client’s home. I think it’s best for the pet to stay in their environment and to have familiarity. Especially when first being introduced to someone new.

Anika was excellent! I needed someone to drop by and take care of my cats for seven days while I was out of the country. Anika stopped by a day before to meet with me and the cats. I told her that the cats are shy and likely to hide during the visits. Boy! Was I wrong. By the end of my trip, one cat was showing his stomach, letting Anika rub him, and posing for pictures. Anika was also nice enough to give me updates about the feral cats who visit. I would definitely recommend Anika for your fur babies.

About: I’ve owned 3 dogs of my own in my life. Dog’s always gravitate towards me! My Friends and Family call me the dog whisper! I genuinely love spending time with dogs so it’s more of a view (when you love what you do it doesn’t feel like work!) I work the customer service industry so I have plenty of free time during the day to play and walk your pups! It gives me and your pup the opportunity to include in our daily cardio! I believe in safety for everyone at all cost so whatever is required by the owners to be done for the safety of your furry friends, is what shall be done!

Allen is so great with our 8 month old Golden Retriever puppy and does a great job making him feel special during his visits. Allen has great patience with our puppy's incredible energy and shenanigans! Another nice thing is that Allen gives us a great report on how things are going and makes us feel at ease while we are away. We highly recommend him to take care of your pets! Thank you Allen!

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover who had the privilege of caring for my own dog for 14 amazing years. Through that experience, I learned how important patience, attention, and love are when it comes to caring for pets. I understand that dogs are family, and I will treat your pet with the same kindness and care I gave my own. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, I want your dog to feel safe and happy while you’re away. My sweet dog recently passed away after 14 years together, and caring for other dogs is a meaningful way for me to continue sharing that love. •Dog Care Skills• 🦴🐾 Feeding and maintaining pet routines Dog walking and exercise Sending photo and video updates to owners Providing companionship and playtime Quick communication with pet parents •About Me• I am currently a college student and a huge dog lover. I had my own dog for 14 years, so I understand how important pets are and how much care they need. I enjoy walking, playing with dogs, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable.

About: I've taken care of pets ever since I was little. I have experience primarily with small to medium dogs, but am working to expand towards larger breeds. Growing up I had a Basset Hound(Watson), And 4 cats(Cinco,Tigger,Penny,Lucy). For the cats I would change their litter boxes, and refill their food and water bowls. Some nights I would read a book while Cinco would lay on my legs. For Watson I would Take him outside to potty, and I'd play "chase" in the backyard till he tired out. I am currently unemployed so Pet-care is my #1 priority. Please refer to my availability schedule listed on my profile for appointment openings. Schedule may change, will update if it does. I prefer to discuss with my clients a prepared care plan for house-sitting. This usually includes: What times are best for meals? Favorite toys? How often should they be taken on walks? These are just examples, I like to have personalized care plans for each of my client's pets.

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up I cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, and guinea pigs, and animals have always been a big part of my life. I currently have a cat of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your pets. I also have a background as a licensed home childcare provider, where safety, patience, responsibility, and communication are part of my everyday routine. Caring for others comes naturally to me, whether they have two legs or four! I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, provide updates, and make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and cared for while you’re away. I have one friendly resident cat. If needed, he can be kept completely separate from visiting pets, so everyone can relax comfortably and safely. I’m home throughout the day and have a flexible schedule to provide attention, care, and updates for your pet. I’m currently offering pet care alongside my childcare business as I transition into focusing more on animal care. Safety and comfort are always my priority. My experience as a licensed childcare provider has made me very mindful of supervision, routines, cleanliness, and creating a calm environment. I have a fully fenced yard and a small catio where cats can safely enjoy fresh air and enrichment. I’m also working on creating an enclosed cat-friendly garden space so cats can experience the outdoors safely without the risk of roaming away. Outdoor time will always depend on each cat’s personality, comfort level, and owner preference. Visiting pets will have their own comfortable spaces in my home, and I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and needs so they feel safe and cared for while their family is away.

About: With a decade of experience caring for dogs and a goal of becoming a vet, I bring both heart and knowledge to every pup I meet. Hi, I’m Brianna! I’ve been caring for dogs of all kinds since I was 12 and am currently pursuing a career in veterinary medicine. My deep love for animals drives everything I do, and I’m passionate about providing quality, loving care for every pet I meet. Animals have always been a huge part of my life. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities, whether it’s walking, feeding, bathing, or just being their companion while their families are away. I’m fun, responsible, and compassionate, and I’ll treat your dog like one of my own. I know how important trust is when it comes to your pet, so I’m always happy to answer any questions and make sure you feel comfortable. You can count on me to give 100% to every visit, every time. I’m a full-time college student wrapping up my final year of undergraduate school, but don’t worry—I’ve designed my schedule to make plenty of time for pet care! I only attend in-person classes two days a week and reserve Wednesdays for studying, which means I’m fully available Friday through Monday and partially available the other days to give your pup the attention they deserve. Your dog will be in a safe, secure environment with a fenced backyard, constant supervision, and lots of love. I also have home security cameras for added peace of mind. Plus, your pup will have the company of my two sweet, friendly huskies Sky and Echo who are both spayed and great at helping new dogs feel comfortable and settled in.

I absolutely love Michelle!! I'm pretty sure there isn't anyone sweeter than her! We came in for a short vacation/concert. We have anxious dogs, and thankfully she has experience with that. She was so helpful and willing to stay with our dogs the whole time we were gone. They fell in love with her!! We were able to have a great time at our event without worrying at all! I cannot recommend her enough. We have had quite a few sitters of the past few years, and she is hands-down the best!!

Meghan stepped in at the last minute to care for our cat when our previous sitter had a medical emergency. We were on the East Coast when a Rover employee called & said that our sitter was hospitalized & that they were looking for an emergency replacement. We had a few options, but Meghan was the most responsive and had great reviews. We hadn't even met her, but we truly got lucky that she volunteered to step in. We look forward to meeting her in person the next time that we book through Rover, because we will definitely try to book her the next time we travel.

Michelle is amazing! My 15 year old pup has a lot of special needs, she wasn’t phased by my long list of all his needs which really put my mind at ease. She sent multiple pictures and updates throughout the visit and administered oral meds for me. As a dog mom who’s overly protective and anxious leaving my baby with others, I highly recommend Michelle!🩷

And the last visit that I canceled, she was kind enough to tell me I would not get charged, since I came back from my vacation earlier than I planned.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Paramount

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Paramount on Rover is $27.75 per visit (as of June 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 June 2026, there are 20,793 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Paramount. 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 Paramount 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 Paramount. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.
