About: I've taken care of dogs for over 10 years and would love to host small to medium-sized friendly, mellow dogs. I am an artist and writer who lives in San Pedro, CA, by the waterfront. I have a fenced yard and work out of my home art studio. I can board your doggie(s) at my house for the day or for a few hours. I do not own pets right now because I have been traveling a bit. I am available M-F, and holiday/weekends if given advance notice. Only two dogs at most at any one time at my home. Contact me if you want a trusted companion for your furry friend :) I wake up very early in the morning. I usually take a walk by midmorning, and work on art or writing for the rest of the day, so I have plenty of time to play with your furry friends. I have a fenced yard to allow your doggies to get air, sun, or run around a bit supervised. I am also comfortable with dogs sitting on my furniture or bed. I have hardwood floors.
“Katie is the best!!! She would send me updates about my girls and pictures daily. She really put my mind at ease while caring for my dogs. This was my first time booking with Katie and I am most definitely re-booking her!!! I highly recommend her. I’m giving her 10 stars forget the 5 stars max on rover!!!!”
“I cannot express enough how truly wonderful Ashley was with our fur baby. She was genuinely concerned and gave him the very best of care and attention - even making him a home-made bandage for a cut on his tail and taking him on mile-long walks. Our Charley was best buddies with her fur baby, Gus. She continuously checked-in and sent pics while we were away. We were totally at ease the entire time which was priceless. Thank you so much Ashley and family. I would give you 100 stars if I could.”
“Ashley had a wonderful time with Monika and her family. She was well taken cared. She was very welcomed. Monika gave us the updates/pics/vids we needed. We’ll definitely have Monika and family again. Thank you so much Monika.”
“Amanda and Nathan (and their daughter) were the perfect hosts! Our two girls were spoiled and treated like family from the moment they arrived. For our dogs, not having other dogs there calms them and keeps them from acting territorially. They sent lots of pictures and gave our girls an awesome time. We would definitely use them again (and will be next month!).”
“Thank you for doing such an amazing job taking care of Koda. She got lots of attention & exercise and can tell she was happy & comfortable. I got lots of updates throughout my trip which was great. Will definitely be booking again 😊”
“Ashley was the absolute sweetest! Kora can be a high energy pup at times but i knew she had the best time because when I picked Kora up she was so happy and went straight to sleep once we got home. Definitely recommend!”
“Karina is the best! She gave Clover all the love while I was on an extended out of town vacation. She send pictures daily and seemed very experienced so I felt very conformable leaving my pup with her. Will be booking again!”
“Elaine and her bf were the best! This was my first time using the app and was a little unsure about leaving my dog with a sitter. They both made me feel at ease by providing frequent updates, pictures and videos! I loved seeing my Luna play with the other dogs. I will definitely re-visit! Thank you again!”
“Shannon was absolutely wonderful with Nibbles! She watched her for 9 days in her home, and I’m so happy we found her. Drop-off and pick-up were super easy, and Shannon was very thorough about asking questions beforehand so she could make sure Nibbles was comfortable and knew her routine and preferences. She took such great care of her and made sure she was happy, well-fed, comfortable, and got lots of love and attention. I could tell Nibbles was in really good hands, as I received consistent updates/pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Shannon is such a sweetheart, and I’m extremely happy with the care she gave Nibbles. I would absolutely recommend her and will definitely use her again in the future!”
“My 1 year old male Frenchie can be hyper but he absolutely had the best time in her care. She was so good to him. It was his 1st time away from me and I was nervous but she made us both feel comfortable and the entire experience was exceptional. I’d 100% recommend her services.”
About: I’ve had my own personal experience with dogs and cats as well as friends and families since I was a kid. Your fur babies will be treated like my own. My schedule is pretty open! I’m a business owner! I understand what it’s like to have to work a job and leave your furbaby alone so i’m here to help! I will follow all instructions given by you to assure your pet is always comfortable and safe! A lot of fur babies have separation anxiety I’ll make sure they’ll always be comfortable.
“Linette did an amazing job watching our dog. She sent a ton of pictures and made sure she knew any routine or need details to ensure an easy transition and stay for our dog. She was clearly well cared for! I would highly recommend Linette for any animal care needs. We will definitely be using her again!!”
“Amazing experience! She took such great care of my dog and kept me updated with photos throughout the stay. I could tell my pup was happy and comfortable. Definitely would book again!”
“Thank you so much Narumi and family for taking care of Nova for a day. From all the great pictures and videos shared, it looked like she had a great time and was very spoiled.. err, well taken care of. Hah! Appreciate you taking care of her on such short notice and providing great updates and communication all throughout the process. Thanks again for everything and happy holidays!”

Alan took great care of our Dane for a whole week while we were away on vacation! He was easy to communicate with, followed his feeding and walking routine, and kept us updated with photos. He’s super friendly, caring, and made sure our Dane felt right at home. It was our first time boarding and we’d definitely leave our Dane with him again! Thank you so much, Alan!
Armando has been an absolute lifesaver for our family! His availability, flexibility, and responsiveness make coordinating care for our dog so easy. Most importantly, our dog always has a fantastic time with him (and Padmé, his English bulldog). We love receiving photo updates throughout his stay, which gives us complete peace of mind knowing he’s happy and well cared for. It’s such a relief to have someone we can trust and count on. We highly recommend Armando and are so grateful to have found him.
Courtnie is a great sitter who really understands dogs, and my 1-yr old crazy border collie mix loved his stay there. He had so much fun playing with her dog and running around in her backyard, that he actually got tired and fell asleep. And the next day he was so happy there he got the zoomies! Courtnie sent lots of photos and updates, was careful about special instructions, and was very flexible when I requested additional pet sitting time on the day of pick-up. I hope to book Courtnie again in the future!
I left my two senior dogs in the great care of Sam for several days. A little nervous as I don't leave them often and one has mobility issues. He immediately put my mind at ease and didn't hesitate at all my dog mom instructions. He texted pics everyday with updates which I truly appreciated. It is obvious they were very well cared for. I highly recommend Sam for anyone looking for a pet sitter!!
I can’t recommend Katherine enough! From the moment I dropped off my Loki, I felt completely at ease knowing they were in such capable hands. Dobermans can be high-energy and require attentive care, and it was clear right away that they truly understood his needs. Throughout the stay, I received consistent updates, photos, and little notes that reassured me my dog was not only safe, but genuinely happy and comfortable. They went above and beyond with attention and affection—treating my dog like their own. When I picked my dog up, I could immediately tell how well they had been cared for. Loki was happy and clearly bonded with their Katherine . It’s not easy to find someone you trust with your pet, but this experience exceeded all my expectations. I will absolutely be booking with Katherine again. If you’re looking for someone reliable, communicative, and truly passionate about animals, this is the person you want!
We feel so grateful to have found Jenn to care for our beloved Miko while we were away for two weeks. From the start, Jenn and her family welcomed him with so much love and truly treated him like one of their own. We received daily updates and got to see all the fun moments Miko was having, which really showed how much genuine care and attention he was getting. We honestly cannot express enough how at ease we felt knowing Miko was in such great hands. Jenn went above and beyond, and we would absolutely trust her again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will care for their pet like family.
As a first-time Rover user, I was naturally a bit anxious about leaving our puppy with someone new.Sharyl was absolutely wonderful! She was patient, attentive, and sent plenty of updates that put our minds at ease. Romeo came home happy and well-cared for. I’ll definitely be booking with Sharyl again!
Mark & Jan are absolutely wonderful! They took such great care of our dog Theo. We were gone for about 11 days and we could tell he was having the most amazing time - morning walks at the beach, afternoon ball throwing and lots of cuddles. Throughout the trip, we weren’t worried at all because we knew that they were caring for him like they would their own dog.

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in San Pedro can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their San Pedro home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your San Pedro.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in San Pedro. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
You and your San Pedro sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in CA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
