“Had a last minute trip and Lea was able to step in quickly to take care of my cats. The cats have very annoying and picky eating habits and medications, but she was able to manage both of them and get them to eat, and get them to take their meds without a hitch. She played with them a lot, sent great pics, and the cats both seemed very content and happy upon return.”

About: What sets me apart is my genuine passion for animals and personalized care for every pet. I have experience with puppy training, senior pet care, and administering medications. I focus on making pets feel safe, loved, and at home — whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or special attention for their unique needs I'm able to give pets plenty of attention, regular and multiple potty breaks, playtime, and cuddles throughout the day. Having a flexible schedule means your pet will never be left alone for long, and they'll always feel cared for and comfortable. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family! I provide a safe, comfortable environment with lots of love, playtime, and attention. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, and any special instructions.

About: I've taken care of many dogs ever since I was the age of ten. Neighbors, friends, roommates, and family would rely on me to drop by if needed. I have always loved animals, and I will make sure your animals are healthy and happy. I have experience with all kinds of dogs, from small to large, and I even cared for all three of my siblings' dogs at once for about a full year. My schedule is pretty flexible! Wednesdays can be pretty busy, but other than that, feel free to request a booking, and I will respond as soon as possible. With my previous dog, I made sure she lived her life to the fullest. I took her on walks twice a day to the dog park right next to the neighborhood, but at specific times. As she aged, of course I had to decrease walks or distance. We gave her medication orally. The last dog I dog sat, she had a leg injury, so I had to make sure she didn’t jump off the couch or do anything to stress her injuries. I always accommodate what the owner wants for their pets, and I love playing with the dogs.

I have a fenced yard and have a male dog who is super friendly and loves other dogs! The house I’m living in has plenty of room in case dogs need some space from each other as well.

About: Dear prospective client, I have been caring for dogs and cats for over 30 years. Professionally, I have worked as a walker for Mobile Mutts in Brooklyn, NY; a doggy daycare associate at NYC's Biscuits and Bath, and took care of pugs at a rescue called Pug Nation in Los Angeles, where I currently reside. In my personal life, I've been a devoted parent to 5 kitties and 2 pups. I've administered diabetes and other medication to cats; I've volunteered at multiple cat and dog rescues, where I was responsible for feeding, cleaning, playing and walking. I am passionate about animals and their well-being. I am an expert snuggler but also cognizant of a pet's boundaries and their special needs. I am a freelancer and have a flexible schedule that allows me to take on last-minute appointments. On most days, I am available as early as 7 a.m., and as late as 11p.m. I have a spacious and totally private, fenced-in backyard with grass that's a great space for some doggy playing and exercise. I live in a peaceful, safe community that's a dream for dog-walking. If pet-setting at your place, I will greet your pup with joy and love and make sure they feel loved. If crating is necessary, I am happy to do that as well. For kitties, I will play and snuggle and make them feel completely adored and engaged. Litterbox cleaning, medication administering, whatever your pet needs, they will be covered.

About: I've taken care of many pets in my life. I have watched my mom use Rover for many years and have helped with many stays and walks. During this time, I have gained experience working with pets who have specialized needs and require more attention than others. Energetic or not, all pets are different and require a good sitter who knows what to expect and handle many situations, and that's me! I can take your pet on walks or watch over them, making sure they're safe and sound. Updates every couple of hours will allow owners to feel peace of mind knowing their pet is in good hands. I am available most days of the week and can help through early mornings or later in the evening. Pet care fits into my schedule and I will respond to any inquiries immediately! During walks, I can avoid other animals if that is required for your pet. We will spend quality time together and a good environment and trust can make your pet feel even happier during the walk. At home I am able to crate pets if necessary and give any medication that is required for them. Those pets with accessibility needs, I am able to carry them downstairs or upstairs if necessary and provide all other senior related care.

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.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Piru

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 4,420 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Piru. 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 Piru. 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.

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.
