About: There has never been a moment where there has not been at least one dog in my home for the last 15 years. I have experience training both puppies and adult dogs. No dog is too much of a task and I look forward to working and walking your babies. I currently have a pretty free schedule and have plenty of time to work with your pups! Am also willing to adjust my schedule to better provide. I do not offer in home boarding at my home, but I absolutely love keeping your fur babies company in your home for as long as needed.
“Kristine did a wonderful job caring for all of our pets! We have two dogs, a cat, and two hens -- and she took wonderful care of them while we were gone. She sent photos and videos every day, and let us know when they were fed. I never worried about them because she kept us updated so well. I will definitely be turning to Kristine to take care of our pets in the near future!”

“So happy to have Lisa watching my 2 pups the last three days. It was our first time with her and won't be the last! I've already booked her again. Lisa was great about communicating with me. She sent an update and pics twice a day without my having to prompt her. She had great rapport with my dogs, even with shy Riley. The house was in great condition when I got home. Lisa really cares about animals and doing a good job. I appreciate all you did while I was gone.”


“Anna is amazing! It means the world to me to have found someone I trust to take care of my girl when i have to be away. She kept me updated throughout my trip, was flexible about timing and I know Maggie had a wonderful time with her. Thank you Anna!”
About: I’ve owned and cared for dogs and cats for many years and genuinely love animals! I’m responsible, patient, and dependable, and I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, fed, exercised, and cared for while their owners are away. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to spend plenty of time caring for pets throughout the week and weekend! I’m available for walks, check ins, feeding, playtime, and giving pets attention while their owners are away. I always make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for in both my home and my client’s home. I pay close attention to feeding schedules, cleanliness, exercise, and making pets feel relaxed, loved, and secure at all times.
“Kim was amazing! She went above and beyond watching my 9-week-old puppy for the day. I knew Junie was safe, loved, and having fun because of the frequent photo updates, and I was so amazed how Kim saw that I needed some help around the house being a new puppy mom, too. I highly recommend her to everyone.”

About: Ever since I can remember, animals have been apart of my life. Animals are my entire life and I can’t wait to broaden my knowledge while taking care of more animals! I’m currently out of work, making Rover fit into my schedule perfectly! I am available anytime of the day, anytime of the week, and whenever you need! I have much experience with any size dog, making it easy for me to control and manage the animal! I have a fence at my home and will always make sure the animal is leashed if not!

About: I have always enjoyed being around animals ever since I was a little kid. I have owned and cared for rabbits, dogs, fish, turtles and parakeets. I work full time as an educator so most of the year I am only available weekends. However I am currently available during weekdays due to spring break. I would be happy to care for your pet in my home or at your home if that is your preference. I have one dog at home which would be kept in a different area.
About: Sometimes I think I should be paying your pets for hanging out with me! I've had pets since I was 4 years old and always rescuing them off the streets to find their owners or good homes. Now as an adult with my own home, I continue to care for animals in every way I can. My husband and I have 2 dogs and 2 cats all rescued from various circumstances. For the past 3 years, we've fostered 13 dogs. All had their own traumas, medical problems and quirks to them so I like to think I can handle a variety of personalities and care instructions. I'm experienced in administering medication, insulin shots, medical baths and plenty of butt wiping LOL. We're a no kid household with no plans to have them, so all our "pets" are very much our four legged children. I'm a helicopter mom at its finest with my local vet and emergency vets on speed dial so rest assured your baby will be safe and loved while under my care. I love to provide photos of my little furry clients to send to their parents while their away so if you're anything like me and can't get your babies out of your mind, you'll be spammed with updates :) Feel free to reach out and ask me any concerns you may have :)
About: I’ve spent nearly my whole life around animals, and I genuinely can’t imagine it any other way. Almost 30 years working with horses — training, rehabbing, and caring for them — taught me patience, how to read an animal’s body language, and how to stay calm when they’re not. That instinct carries straight over to dogs, cats, and just about anyone with fur. When your pet is with me, they’re not an obligation on a checklist. They’re company. I’ll keep their routine steady, give them the attention and exercise they need, and send you updates so you’re never wondering how they’re doing. Whether it’s an anxious rescue who needs a gentle hand or a high-energy goofball who needs a real walk, I’ve got them. Acton/Santa Clarita area. Reach out and tell me about your crew — I’d love to meet them. I work from home, so pets aren’t squeezed into the margins of my day — they’re part of it. My schedule is flexible, which means I can match your pet’s routine instead of forcing them into mine: morning walks, midday check-ins, feeding times, all of it stays consistent with what they’re used to. Between my own animals and my work with horses, caring for animals is already woven into every day. Adding your pet to that rhythm isn’t a stretch — it’s just one more member of the crew. I’m around throughout the day to keep an eye on things, so your pet gets steady attention rather than a quick drop-in and gone. In your home, my first priority is keeping your pet’s world exactly as they know it — same feeding spots, same walk routes, same routine. I don’t rearrange things or cut corners. I make sure doors, gates, and yards are secure before anything else, because a lot of trouble starts with a gate that didn’t latch. I keep your keys and access details private and treat your home with the same respect I’d want for mine. With animals themselves, decades of reading horses taught me to watch body language closely — I can tell when a pet is anxious, overstimulated, or not feeling right, and I adjust instead of pushing. New environments and unfamiliar dogs get introduced slowly and on the pet’s terms. I keep an eye on hazards most people miss: food left out, toxic plants, an open trash can, a fence gap. You’ll hear from me with updates and photos so you always know your pet is safe and settled. If something seems off health-wise, I’ll reach out right away rather than wait — and I’ll always have your vet’s info on hand just in case.
“This is the second time Katherine housesat for our dog and she was great! Our dog is anxious and reactive to strangers so we had Katherine come for a few drop ins beforehand so our dog could get used to her. She was very patient with him and got him to trust her. During her housesit, she sent us very frequent updates and communicated well. She left our apartment very organized and even washed the bedsheets she used! Would definitely recommend and book her again.”

About: I have always loved animals and feel comfortable caring for small and medium dogs. I am calm, patient, and careful with pets. I can help with walks, feeding, fresh water, playtime, and basic daily care. I always follow the owner’s instructions and send photo updates. I currently have a flexible schedule, so I can give pets attention, walks, feeding, and regular potty breaks. I am usually available on weekdays and weekends, depending on the booking. I prefer to care for one pet at a time so I can be focused and responsible. I live in an apartment and I keep the environment clean, calm, and safe. I do not leave pets off leash outside. I follow all care instructions carefully, keep doors secure, and make sure pets have fresh water, food, potty breaks, and attention. I prefer small and medium dogs.
About: Senior dogs and dogs with special needs have a special place in my heart. I take the time to learn each dog’s routine and quirks, moving at their pace and learning what makes them feel safe and comfortable. 〰️ I’ve shared my life with dogs since I was little, growing up with German Shepherds and learning early that every dog has their own personality, preferences, and way of experiencing the world. Every dog has their own way of communicating, and I love taking the time to learn their language; they are conscious, beautiful souls. I also have bachelor’s and master’s degrees in biology, where I was able to study animal behavior and communication. 〰️ I’m based in the San Fernando Valley, and my flexible schedule allows me to serve families throughout the San Fernando Valley, Santa Clarita Valley, and Antelope Valley. My Rover profile may be new, but my experience with dogs isn't; I'd be grateful for the opportunity to meet your best friend. My goal is to learn what makes your dog feel safe, comfortable, and loved, so you can leave knowing they’re with someone who truly enjoys caring for them. When I'm not with the doggies, I'm in the classroom as a substitute teacher in either the AV or SFV. I get to choose when and where I work, allowing me flexibility in my schedule for dog care. I like to spend as much outside time as possible with the dogs (weather permitting) and do mentally stimulating activities (especially with my senior babies). Activities like "where's the toy", "which hand is the treat in", etc. Little things to keep them mentally engaged. I love being outside, and I love long walks, so me and the doggies tend to make a good team.
About: Hi my name is Alexis I'm a full time college student and I nanny as well as pet sit. With that being said, I've always loved all fur babies and started dog sitting locally overnight about 4 years ago. I now help with dog sitting during my stay with clients while being a nanny. Occasionally I will also volunteer and dog walk at Rock and Rescue adoption center in Woodland Hills when I have free time after school. Additionally, I will help a friend of mine who has her own dog walking business walk the dogs and spend time with them if needed. I am hoping to meet you and your fur baby soon and I can't wait to hear back from you! Thank you.
“Alyssa was wonderful taking care of our Cat, Jasper. Would absolutely recommend her. She is very kind and attentive to Jaspers needs. Was so happy to be able to leave him in good hands to go on vacation!”

About: I’ve raised multiple dogs from puppies into adulthood, including both small breeds like corgis all the way up to large, high-energy dogs such as Belgian Malinois and Dutch Shepherds. Because of that, I have real hands-on experience with different temperaments—including dogs that can be reactive, sensitive, or need extra structure. What sets me apart is my ability to read behavior and stay calm in situations where other sitters might feel overwhelmed. I understand triggers, boundaries, and how to safely manage dogs that need more attention or careful handling. I’ve also cared for dogs in multi-dog households, so I’m used to balancing different personalities and preventing conflict. I’m comfortable with: • High-energy dogs that need consistent exercise • Puppies learning routines and boundaries • Reactive or easily overstimulated dogs • Crate training and structured environments • Feeding routines (including picky eaters) I focus on creating a safe, calm, and positive environment for every dog. Whether your dog needs playtime, structure, or just someone patient and attentive, I’ll make sure they feel secure and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I prioritize building my schedule around the pets I’m caring for. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to be available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits. I’m able to accommodate walks, drop-ins, and extended stays, and I make sure each pet gets the time and attention they need rather than rushing through visits. I also keep my availability updated and communicate clearly, so you always know when I’ll be there. Whether your dog needs consistent daily care or occasional help, I’m happy to work around your routine to make things as smooth as possible. I am also open to last-minute requests when available. I provide attentive, structured care with a strong focus on safety, consistency, and your pet’s overall well-being. Before any booking, I take the time to understand your dog’s routine, preferences, and any behavioral or medical considerations to ensure a seamless and stress-free experience. In your home, I maintain a respectful, professional presence and follow all care instructions with precision—feeding schedules, walk routines, crate use, and household expectations. I’m highly mindful of safety at all times, including secure leash handling, awareness of surroundings, and ensuring doors and gates are properly managed. I’m experienced with a wide range of temperaments, including high-energy and reactive dogs, and I approach each situation with calm, controlled handling. I prioritize avoiding overstimulation and maintaining an environment where your dog feels secure and at ease. If care is provided in my home, I offer a clean, calm, and well-managed space with close supervision. Dogs are introduced thoughtfully and can always be separated if needed to maintain a safe and comfortable environment. Communication is consistent and transparent—you’ll receive regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in capable, attentive hands.
“This is our second time using Emily and she is just fantastic! I cannot recommend her enough, she is so caring and thoughtful and provides such excellent care for our fur baby. She sends daily updates and pictures and also took great care of the house since we had her stay at the house for the duration of our vacation as well. Highly trustworthy and responsible, we would continue to use her again every time!”

“We just finished our first pet sitting with Kerri and she was wonderful. Our shy dog took to her to her right away and she sent us several photos of him cuddling with her while we were gone. Her communication with us was excellent and she displayed great judgment in handling an unexpected situation that came up. We are very happy to have found her and look forward to working with her again.”

Brigette was wonderful again with our fur babies and our home. We couldn’t be more happy with her services and the way she cares for our pets. Our home was clean as if she was never here. Book Brigette with confidence, you will be happy you did. Thank you again, Brigette! Until next time.

Erin was great. She was very communicative before and during the sit. She took great care of our two dogs and stayed with them throughout the day. She sent many photos and videos and provided us with updates throughout the day. Our dogs ended up acting up towards the end of her stay and she let us know and handled the situation. We really appreciate her taking care of our dogs. We would welcome her back any time and would highly recommend her.

Megan was so great with our dog. It was the first time she stayed with him and he was not feeling good but she handled it so well. And she was great at communicating with us. We were so grateful she was there and we will definitely reach out to her again!

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 Pico 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 Pico 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 Pico 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 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.
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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Pico. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% 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.
