About: I grew up surrounded by animals, so caring for pets has always come easily to me. As a dog groomer, I’m experienced in handling dogs of all sizes with patience and care. I’m a true animal lover who treats every pet with love. I enjoy taking dogs on calm, enjoyable walks in nature to keep them happy and active. You can trust that your pet will be safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I am currently working part time. So I have a lot of free time to play and cuddle with your pet so they don’t feel lonely. I am always ready to cuddle or play if they want or need! I can adjust to their comfort and unique personalities with patience and love.

About: Pets have been a part of our family for 20 plus years. Each one has been a crucial part of our lives, teaching us how to care for one another with grace and admiration. We have raised pets from puppies and kittens all way to seniors. From walking great danes to feeding little cats, our family can care for loved ones no matter what special attention they may need. Our fenced in yard has plenty of space for playful puppies while our home is located near a beautiful bike path for lovely evening walks. Your pet will receive all the attention and support they need so you can rest assured they are safe and cared for. I am currently a stay at home dad with plenty of time to care for and play with pets. Once the kids are off to school our day will be filled with unforgettable fun and excitement here in beautiful Whittier California. Whether your dog prefers inside or outside, our home is a perfect fit. Our fenced in backyard has plenty of space for running and play. After some exercise your pet can relax on our extra large dog bed or even take their spot on our couch. If your pet just needs an afternoon walk, I have everyday experience walking dogs of all sizes. Safety and awareness are my top priorities while taking your dog on a stroll.

About: I've been around dogs my entire life and have cared for my rescue Chihuahua mix for the past five years. In addition to caring for my own pet, I've helped family members and friends by checking in on, feeding, walking, and spending time with their pets while they were away. I've also provided care for a family friend's cat through daily check-ins, feeding, and companionship. I'm a certified lifeguard and college student-athlete, which has taught me responsibility, attention to detail, and how to stay calm in unexpected situations. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I will treat every pet with the same care and attention I give my own. I am a college student spending the summer in Los Angeles and currently have a flexible schedule. This allows me plenty of time for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and making sure your pets receive the attention, care, and companionship they need throughout the week and on most weekends. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I have cared for my rescue Chihuahua mix for the past five years and have also helped friends and family care for their pets. As a certified lifeguard, I am trained to be responsible, attentive, and calm in unexpected situations. I will always follow your instructions carefully and treat your pet like a member of my own family.

About: Hi there! I'm a certified animal lover and lifelong dog person. 🐾 I've grown up with dogs my whole life, and these days my sidekick is my adorable 3-year-old Maltipoo, who keeps me on my toes and reminds me every day why I love caring for pups. I have experience with dogs of all ages—from energetic puppies to sweet senior companions—and I believe every dog deserves patience, kindness, and lots of love. My goal is to make every walk fun, enriching, and stress-free, while making sure your furry family member feels safe and cared for. Safety is always my top priority. I'm responsible, attentive, and always looking for opportunities to learn more about dog behavior, positive training techniques, and how to confidently handle dogs with different personalities and needs. Whether your pup loves long adventures, leisurely sniff walks, or just wants a friendly companion while you're away, I'd be honored to care for them like they're one of my own. I can't wait to meet you and your best friend! I work from home so I have the flexibility to walk your pups or check in any time. Just give me a day's notice and I will respond right away. Safety is my upmost priority. I always make sure to supervise my pups when they are outside. I believe it's very important to always be aware of my surroundings while walking, so I never look at my phone. I love to give lots of cuddles and positive reinforcement.

About: What sets me apart is that caring for dogs has always been more than just a responsibility to me, it comes from my heart. I’ve had dogs since middle school, and I’ve always loved and cared for them as if they were my own children. I understand that our dogs are family and I believe they deserve to feel safe, comfortable, and deeply loved, even when their parents are away. I had the privilege of raising my handsome boy Oliver from the time I was in eighth grade until he passed away in May of 2026. He was such a special part of my life, and caring for him taught me so much about the patience, attention, and compassion dogs need as they grow older. Through my own experience, I’ve learned how important it is to recognize and adapt to a dog’s changing needs throughout every stage of their life, from tiny puppies to seniors. I also have two young dogs of my own who I’ve raised since they were puppies. This has given me hands on experience with the patience, consistency, and attention that young dogs need as they learn and grow. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, and I always do my best to make each one feels secure, understood, and cared for. When your dog is with me, I want you to feel confident knowing they’re receiving more than basic care. They’ll receive genuine affection, patience, attention, and plenty of love. I’ll treat your fur baby with the same tenderness and care I give my own because I know just how much they mean to you. I work from home Monday through Friday which gives me the flexibility to provide attentive, loving care throughout the day. I’m available after 12 PM on weekdays and can accommodate weekend bookings with at least one week’s notice. Because I work from home, I can dedicate plenty of time to your fur baby’s care, whether that means keeping them company, providing potty breaks, going on walks, enjoying playtime, or simply giving them extra cuddles and attention. I understand how important it is for dogs to feel comfortable and secure while their families are away, and I do my best to maintain their usual routines and make them feel right at home. In my home: I primarily offer pet sitting in my home, where your fur baby will have companionship throughout the day and the opportunity to play and socialize with my two dogs, as long as they’re comfortable around other dogs. I do my best to keep everyone on a consistent routine for meals, potty breaks, playtime, and rest so your pup can settle in comfortably. We do have a shared courtyard at the apartments, where I can take the dogs out for a potty break. I welcome dogs at any time, and I always prioritize their safety, individual needs, and comfort. In your home: I’m available for pet sitting at your home after 3:30 PM on weekdays and anytime on weekends. I understand how comforting it can be for dogs to remain in their familiar environment, surrounded by their own things and routines. I’ll follow your instructions closely, maintain their usual schedule, and give them plenty of affection and attention. Potty breaks and walks: I can also stop by for potty breaks and walks to help keep your pup happy, comfortable, and active throughout the day. I’ll always be mindful of their age, energy level, and individual needs. No matter which service you choose, I want you to feel confident knowing your fur baby is receiving attentive, patient, and loving care. I will also send you photos and videos throughout the day so you know how your baby is doing. I know how much our dogs mean to us, and I’ll treat yours with the same kindness and consideration I give my own. My goal is to make your time away easier for you and as comfortable as possible for your little one!

Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine!

About: What sets me apart is the genuine care and patience I bring to every pet I meet. As a full-time teacher, I'm naturally attentive, understanding, and calm, which helps pets feel comfortable and safe. I take the time to learn each pet's personality and routine so they receive the care they're used to at home. I'm happy to care for pets of all ages, from playful puppies who need extra patience and energy to senior pets who may need a gentler pace and lots of love. My goal is to give every pet companionship, comfort, and plenty of attention while giving owners peace of mind knowing their furry family member is in caring hands. As a full-time teacher, caring for others is already a big part of who I am. On weekdays, I dedicate my time to my students, and on Saturdays I love spending my free time with your fur babies. Whether it's keeping them company, going on walks, playing, or simply giving them extra love and attention while you're away, I enjoy making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to create a calm, loving environment where they can feel comfortable and relaxed. I always care for every pet with kindness, patience, and respect. I follow each owner's instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and any special routines. I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. Whether I'm caring for them in my home or in a client's home, I treat them as if they were my own and always keep their well-being my top priority.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I can remember, I’ve never lived without a pet so friends and family have relied on me to feed, walk, bathe and care for their pets. Dogs are my spirit animal and I couldn’t think of a better way to spend my free time than being around them :) I have open availability. I’m a professional dancer so any time I’m not in rehearsals or classes, I want to spend it with animals. I will not be able to provide pet care at my home due to the fact that my house is a strict no pet house. In your home I will return it better than I found it and will care for your space and your animal well.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Pico Rivera

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Pico Rivera is $33 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $65 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 October 2026, there are 21,729 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Pico Rivera. 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 .

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 , 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 Pico Rivera. 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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
