“Flor was reliable, gave good updates, and was very attentive to our cats. She made suggestions on what else she could do to support our needs. Would highly recommend her and will book her for future services.”
About: I love pets so much and I have two dogs that I take great care of. Your dog can meet some friends at my place! I work part time so I have plenty of time with your dog! I only work from 1pm-6pm and all the rest of my time is for the dogs! I have a fenced yard and and two small dogs to accompany your baby. I also have a playpen set up just in case we need it
About: From a young age I would house sit for neighbors and would take care of their pets, whilst they were on vacation. I've taken care of older dogs that had special needs as well. I have been walking dogs for the past 5 years as a hobby, and as a way to stay healthy. When my friend's shoulder was dislocated I walked his Grey Wolf/Husky mix for him while he recovered. I am available most days, I have full availability on weekends, and late nights (10-11pm) all week for those dogs whom prefer cooler temperature walks. I am unable to host your dog at my home currently. I'm experienced in giving older dogs their medications including pills and Insulin. I can house sit and watch your pets while you are at work, on vacation, or even if it's just date night.
About: Im great with dogs and have plenty availability. My family has had lots of different breeds of dogs over the years and I have gained a lot of experience. I can handle big cuties as well as tiny cuties 😊🐕🐩🐕🦺🦴🐾 I work at a restaurant in Ventura California four days a week, so I have a lot of availability and I can drop in multiple times a day. I like to make sure your dog feels all the love and a true connection. I will take your dog for a walk and feed them and give them water and make sure they are settled in and have everything they need to feel good and content before I leave.
About: Dogs have been a huge part of my life for over 12 years. I’ve raised my own Norfolk Terrier from a young age into his senior years, which has given me experience across every stage of a dog’s life. We’ve always loved going on walks together—when he was younger, I would take him to new neighborhoods and the beach for fun and stimulation. Now that he’s older, I’ve taken on a more attentive caregiving role. I manage his daily medications, keep up with frequent vet visits, and adjust his routine to match his needs, including shorter, slower walks around our neighborhood. Caring for him has taught me patience, awareness, and how to prioritize a dog’s comfort, safety, and happiness. I’ve also had experience with high-energy dogs. During college, I lived with a 1-year-old Australian Shepherd, where I regularly helped with walks and playtime—lots of tug-of-war, fetch, and keeping up with his energy. It gave me a great balance of experience with both calm senior dogs and active, playful ones. Whether your dog needs a relaxed walk, extra patience, or lots of play and energy, I’m confident in adapting to their personality and making sure they feel safe, loved, and excited every time we’re together. I currently work weekdays during the day at a behavioral clinic, but I am available for dog walking and pet care services after 4:00 PM on weekdays. I also have full availability on weekends and can accommodate dog walking, drop-ins, and pet sitting throughout the day. I’m happy to be flexible within those timeframes to best meet your pet’s needs and routine. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and in-home pet sitting services, which means I care for pets in the comfort and safety of their own environment. I do not provide boarding in my own home due to my own dog’s health needs. When caring for your pet, I prioritize safety, routine, and clear communication. I closely follow all owner instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, and any specific care requirements. I understand how important consistency is for pets, and I make sure their routine is maintained as closely as possible. During walks, I always use a leash and carry waste bags at all times to ensure cleanliness and responsible care. I stay attentive to surroundings to keep your dog safe and comfortable throughout the walk. Above all, I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and affection—making sure they feel secure, cared for, and loved while you’re away. I’m committed to building trust with both pets and owners through reliable and respectful care.

“This was our first experience with hiring a cat drop-in sitter. Ashley was dependable and personable, with tons of cat experience. We hit the jackpot! She kept us informed about our kitty children with texts and pictures. She went beyond the call of duty to help us out with an unexpected pest problem. It was great piece of mind knowing she was checking in on our felines.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Santa Paula
A+++ Dog Sitter!! We give Flor 5 stars because that’s what she totally deserves! ⭐️ This is our third time using her and she is now our “go to” because of the special care she gives our fur babies! Great communicator and very friendly and positive attitude!
We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Flor pet sitting for us. She took such great care of both our bunny and our cat while we were away. Not only did she make sure they were well-fed and comfortable, but she also spent quality time playing with them, which gave us so much peace of mind. One of the things we appreciated most was her consistent communication, she sent photos during every visit, and it was so reassuring to see our pets happy, relaxed, and well cared for. It’s clear she genuinely loves animals and treats them like her own. We came home to two very content pets, and we couldn’t be more grateful. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive pet sitter!

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.

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.
