“Michelle has such a welcoming personality. Her family made me feel at ease with leaving YoYo. I didn’t have any concerns. She sent pictures & videos throughout the day. YoYo had a great time. Also, she was very accommodating with my late pick up time. I’ll definitely use her services again. Super thanks 😊”
About: I've taken care of dogs from puppies to seniors and every size in between. I also volunteer at an animal shelter and foster dogs, especially bigger dogs, so I'm comfortable with all kinds of personalities and energy levels. I have experience with training too, from basic commands to leash manners and working with shy or reactive dogs. I'll follow your routine and treat your pup like my own. My schedule is flexible, so I can work around your pet's routine for walks, feeding, and meds. I'm available mornings, evenings, and weekends, and I plan my day so your pet never has to wait long for a potty break or some attention. Your pet's safety comes first. I always use a secure leash and or harness on walks whatever you feel more comfortable with, keep doors and gates closed, and check for anything a curious pup could get into. I'll follow your instructions for food, meds, and house rules, and send photo and video updates so you always know how things are going.
“Frida had another great visit. It looks like she had a great time meeting some new doggy friends and seeing some others again. As always, great communication and pics! Thanks so much”
About: I’ve cared for many types of animals including: dogs, cats, turtles, birds,rats and fish. Obviously there are still many animals out there and I would love to learn about your unique pets. I’m dedicated to caring for your pet with mindfulness, love and attention to detail I currently work part time so I work nights for 6 hours 4 days out of the week. I’m available for morning till late afternoon care, I also have no problem checking in again after work. On my days off I’m available all day those days are sun, mon and Thursday I have a spacious studio with designated space for boarding and I don’t have anything for a pet to mess with or accidentally hurt themselves. I do not have a crate but can get one if needed
“Cassie was great and did such a great job with my puppy Rory! BEAUTIFUL photos and great updates throughout the day and I can tell a great time was had! Highly recommend!”
About: As a lifelong dog owner and devoted animal lover, I understand that your pets are cherished members of your family. My approach to pet care is centered on providing a calm, nurturing, and personalized experience that helps your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Having cared for dogs throughout my life, I am attentive to each pet’s unique personality, routines, and preferences. Whether your companion enjoys long walks, playtime, quiet companionship, or extra affection, I tailor my care to meet their individual needs and help maintain the consistency they are accustomed to at home. I take pride in creating a stress-free experience for both pets and their owners through reliable communication, thoughtful attention to detail, and genuine compassion. My goal is to provide the highest level of care so you can enjoy complete peace of mind knowing your beloved companion is in caring and capable hands. I look forward to building a trusted relationship with you and providing your pet with the same level of love, respect, and attention I give my own. Pet care is already a natural part of my daily life. I work from home, which allows me to be present and attentive throughout the day. My own dog and I enjoy at least four walks around the neighborhood every day, providing plenty of exercise, fresh air, and enrichment. In addition to our daily walks, we go hiking several times a week, and I have a secure fenced courtyard where pets can safely relax, explore, and enjoy time outdoors in the sunshine. Because I am home-based, I can easily accommodate feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, companionship, and any special routines your pet may have. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and strive to create a calm, loving environment where they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. I care for every pet as if they were my own, with a focus on safety, comfort, routine, and plenty of affection. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, preferences, and daily schedule so they can feel as relaxed and secure as possible while their family is away. In my home, pets receive regular walks, supervised outdoor time in my fenced courtyard, playtime, companionship, and lots of love and attention throughout the day. Because I work from home, I am able to provide a calm presence and ensure pets are not left alone for extended periods. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I strive to maintain their normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, exercise, medication (if needed), and any special instructions. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they can have peace of mind knowing their pet is happy, safe, and well cared for. My goal is always to create a positive, stress-free experience where pets feel loved, comfortable, and cared for, whether they are staying with me or I am caring for them in their own home.
“We love Kieran and Marty! Kieran is always a great communicator and so sweet. Our dog is always in great hands & we always feel as ease when Kieran is taking care of our sweet Houdini. ❤️”
About: What sets me apart as a dog sitter is my unparalleled experience and genuine love for dogs, cultivated over 35 years of dedicated care! From raising puppies to caring for elderly dogs, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to every pet sitting assignment. My experience allows me to confidently administer medications, provide specialized care, and handle any situation that may arise with patience and compassion. Beyond my skills, Im a huge dog-lover! Ive had dogs since the day I was born and can't imagine life without one! I treat each dog as if they were my own. With me, your beloved dog will not only receive wonderful care, but will also experience the warmth and affection of a true dog lover, making their stay with me an unforgettable and very happy experience :) I work from home, so I'm very flexible. I can watch your dog at my house, take your dog on walks, or house sit at your place during the day. I live in a house. I have a fenced in yard. I also have a pool and grassy areas for your dog to do their business. I also have a Belgian Malinois who is so loving and playful and loves other dogs! I'm also a mom of 9 year old twins who LOVE dogs :)
About: I’ve grown up around dogs most of my life with my family. I have experience with fostering puppies too. Currently I have one fur baby. I work from home full time so I’m flexible with your schedule. I like to go on walks about three times a day and walks usually take 20-30 minutes. I will be around to play and attend your dogs needs. I also have lots of dog beds that I have collected over the years to make dogs feel comfortable.
“I had to find a new sitter for my two small dogs recently and was nervous about them adjusting to someone new. Katharine put my mind and ease and made sure my pups were comfortable. They both looked so happy in the pictures she sent me! I will be booking with Katharine again soon.”
About: If you're on this app, clearly you love your pet. You want to assure your pet is properly cared for and loved while you are not around. I have over 20 years of caring for my dogs and spend my free time volunteering at the West LA Animal Shelter. I have trained friends dogs and have tended to my 18 year old elderly dog since she was a puppy. I pitched on my baseball team and love to air out my arm with long games of fetch at the park as well as leisurely strolls around the neighborhood. I'm full time work from home - my routine is multiple daily walks with my 2 dogs. Park nearby is an oasis as well as sun drenched backyard lounging. Fenced yard where my two friendly dogs like to hang out, but they have the run of the house as where they like to sit in the front window and watch the street activity.
About: I love animals, and I’ve taken care of them my whole life. I have fostered and adopted elderly cats in the past so I am able to take care of additional needs such as medication and dietary restrictions. There are no pets or children in my house so it is a stress free environment, and I am comfortable letting them sleep on my bed if that is preferable. I work from home so they will be supervised 24/7. I cannot provide any outdoor time for cats unfortunately, as I do not feel the fence around my yard is high enough to be secure. Leashed dogs will be allowed out on a leash provided they are up to date with their flea medication. I will give them plenty of play time and enrichment. I work from home so I am always here and able to supervise your pet 24/7. I will not take in more than one household at a time in order for your pet to not feel stress. I can provide regular playtime and enrichment, as well as scheduled meal times if that is something you need. I have a fenced yard as well as cameras and an alarm system all around my property, however for the safety of your cat all doors and windows will remain shut at all times. If your cat usually receives outdoor time I will try to substitute with indoor play time for enrichment. Dogs may be taken out for walks and yard time while being leashed.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Sherman Oaks
I’ve known Pina for 5 years now. She’s the only Rover sitter I trust. Pina has a beautiful backyard where my dog Roz loves to explore and play with other dogs. I’m always given daily updates with photos. My senior dog, Sid, who passed away a few years ago always loved his time sun bathing in Pina’s backyard. I can’t recommend Pina enough.
Victoria was great! She kindly checked with me ahead of time if it was okay to book another dog that day which was very considerate. She sent lots of cute photos and kept us updated on our dog Rufus throughout the stay at her house. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!
My two pups, a 15-year-old Australian Shepherd and a 3-year-old husky mix, must have had a blast with Peter and his gentle giant pup. Peter sent tons of fun photos and videos, and I really appreciated how communicative he was. My pups were super happy when they were picked up but also wanted to go back and keep playing. Good vibes all around, and I know my pups have many more happy play days ahead with Peter.
My skittish dog with separation anxiety had a great day at Jacqueline's place! Jacqueline knew exactly how to make her comfortable and she did not leave her alone. Drop off and pickup times were flexible, which allowed me to spend a full day at Universal. Overall, everything was perfect!!
Santho is very responsive, sent us multiple photos throughout the day of what Rocky was up to, and has the type of calm energy that dogs love. I thought he wasn’t going to want to come back home with me after spending the day with her! He was very happy and relaxed when I picked him up.
Victoria was absolutely amazing and took such wonderful care of Lupo. I had complete peace of mind knowing he was with her. He was genuinely happy to see her when she arrived in the morning, which says everything. She is without a doubt my first choice whenever I need help with my little one .

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Sherman Oaks commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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.
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 Meet & Greet .
