“As always, Flor took great care of my pup. My dog loves her so, so much; just seeing the joy my dog expresses when he sees her speaks volumes about how amazing she always is and how much she loves looking after our fur babies. I will continue recommending her to family, friends and neighbors. Amazing is a definitely an understatement to describe the quality of her job and how great the experience always is.”
About: I taken care of and trained my own dog, a sweet Pembroke Welsh Corgi. She has passed and now I want to continue spending time with pets. I am currently working full time but am available in the evenings and weekends. On the weekends I am available all day to assist with pet care. I can follow any instructions to keep your pet safe in your home. I take precautions and try to read body language if the pet does not feel secure.
About: I offer one-on-one attention: no rushing, no multitasking, just your pet. If your pet is a pup/kitten, senior or any age in between, your loved one will receive the utmost care, patience, gentleness and consistency. From our very first meet and greet, I focus on learning your pet's specific routine, quirks, and comfort cues, so that by the time a booking starts, they're not just "watched," they're understood. Every visit, whether it's a quick drop-in or an extended stay, your pet gets the same undivided attention. My love for animals started young, growing up in a house full of pets — dogs, cats, ducks, chickens, and fish — which taught me early on that every creature has its own personality and needs. A couple of notes: I currently care for dogs up to 40lbs, and I require a meet and greet before every booking, no exceptions — it's how I make sure your pet feels safe with me from day one. Ask for VIP services include mail and delivery package pickups, coordinating pet care directly with live in house manager, etc. Fully fluent in English and Spanish. Service areas include Greater Los Angeles, UCLA area, DTLA, Beverly Hills, Brentwood, Bel-Air, Malibu, Thousand Oaks, Camarillo, and Ventura. I’m semi-retired and have a flexible schedule. To walk, sit or take care of a pet as well as I take care of mine would be a joy. I often pet sit friends’ pets when they travel on vacation or business. I’m go-to person to take care of pets while friends and family are out of town, busy at work, or they need to take pets to vet appointments. I also walk, sit and sometimes stay overnight with them. During 25+ years of doing so no one has had a complain about my care or how I handled their pets.
“Kelsey was great! Highly responsive, coordinated quickly, and was very thorough and attentive when checking in our kitty. Would recommend Kelsey to anyone needing care for their pets! 😸”
“Denise was a 10/10 cat sitter. She was extra communicative, gave us very detailed updates from her visits, and was very respectful of our house. She’s also super sweet and friendly. Would definitely book her again!”
About: I’ve had dogs since I can remember. Guard dogs, and house dogs as well varying from Dalmatians, Rottweilers, pitbull mixes all the way down to a Chihuahua and Pugs. I can handle dogs pretty well, and cats… psh I’m basically an expert having 2 and taking care of ferals/ cat colonies. I love all pets and consider my own, the children I never had :) I’m currently working M-F from 0730-1500. I am free on the weekends and usually anytime after 1430. I can leave work if need be as well to let your babies out. I keep my cats inside and trust I won’t let yours get out. I’m quite savvy in my ways, living with dogs all my life and dealing with a fence jumping Husky.
About: I was born into a family with Saint Bernards, and over my lifetime have owned seven Saints plus an English Mastiff, a pittie mix, a cat, birds, fish, rodents, reptiles, and horses. I've been described by friends and family as a dog whisperer, and I can't help but make friends with any dog I see. I've been dogsitting for friends and family on the side for years now, doing overnight visits, extended stays, and drop-ins for potty, walks, and meals. I love cats and dogs of all sizes, but I've always had a soft spot for the giant breeds. I was a cross country runner and still live an active lifestyle, so long walks and runs are no problem. I can also do transportation to vet visits, doggy day care or walks at dog parks, etc. I'm looking forward to taking care of your furry family members! I am widely available for scheduling. I have a few steady clients with regular visits, but I can work with you and figure out the best schedule! As a lifelong animal owner, I understand the needs of many animals, as well as the feelings that owners have towards their furry friends. My initial clients were friends, but through the established trust and word of mouth recommendations, that list has grown. When doing overnight or extended stays, I will always bring in the mail, take out the trash, and perform any other household duties you may need. I've cared for sick dogs, handled emergency situations, and taken care of urine and other medical samples for my clients. Whatever you need, I can accommodate.
“Daniella did a fantastic job with our puppy during her drop in visits! She kept us in the loop with cute pictures and updates. Followed all instructions and went above and beyond to work on training and brushing. Would highly recommend!”
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: I have taken care of my family and friend’s dogs over the years. I work from home thus hang with my cats. I love taking pets on walks, playing with them, and showing them love. I’ve also lived with cats throughout my life. I currently have a cat that I’ve taught to sit and high five. I would take my late senior dog on walks in the morning, afternoons and evenings. I’m experienced with giving dogs/cats medication such as pills or liquids with syringes, if needed. I currently work from home so I have flexibility to play with your dog and take them out on walks, if house sitting. I can housesit on weekends especially and avalible during the week. I can do prolong stays at your home to take care of your pets or to check in on them. I can take care of your dog and/or cat. I’d be glad to take them to the park or beach to get them to run around and play. Let me know if there is any special things your dogs need.
“Curt arrived on time, he starts an organized process in steps. He can talk and work at the same time giving massages, and comforting our dog that recently had surgery and is anxious. He worked the full time, he likes his work”

“Valerie was a life saver for me over the weekend when I didn’t have someone to watch my cat. She was prompt and kind and accommodating. I didn’t have to worry about my boy while we were away, and she sent a bunch of photos of him. When I could not make it home on time, she happily agreed to help me out with another house visit. I would definitely call on Valerie again when I travel.”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 20. My cousin relies on me to take care of her dog when out of town. I work night shift so I have time to be with your pups during the morning and afternoon. I can also do overnight on my days off. I will make sure they are being well fed and hydrated. Lots of treats and play time is a must. Can take them out for potty as many times as needed.
“Valeria was very responsive and was able to accommodate my needs last minute. She did a great job communicating and following my instructions. I highly recommend her. My Great Dane Lyla looked very calm and happy. I received some Great photos of her!”
About: I am very caring for animals, I talk to them like they are humans and treat with love and care. So if you think I would be fit to watch you animals while away I can babysit your animals, I can care for your animals at your home if you are going on Vacation or out of town and I am more then welcome to babysit your animals until you get home, i can stop to your house and feed the make sure they have food, and if they are indoor dogs I can make sure to stop in to let them out, to go to the bathroom, play with them and put them back in.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Santa Paula stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Santa Paula. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
