“I had a wonderful experience with Jacquelyn. She was responsive and friendly in all our communication. She arrived at my home on time and sent me plenty of pictures of my dog during their walk. I would definitely recommend Jacquelyn and would hire her again in the future!”
About: I've been taking care of cats and dogs for my entire life and have always been the go-to pet sitter for my friends and family for over a decade. I have a cat of my own, so I am comfortable with daily pet care routines. I have a flexible schedule and respond quickly with clear communication. I love animals and look forward to giving your cat or dog the care and affection they deserve. I am currently only working part-time, so my schedule is very open and flexible. I'm always ready to take care of your pet whenever needed! I arrive on time and follow your instructions closely all while sending frequent text/photo updates. I take great care of your pet while ensuring your home is safe and secure.
“Holly was AMAZING with Lilo. As a large puppy, she was calm, confident and so taken to him. Her communication was excellent and gave me such detailed notes. She certainly put me at ease knowing Lilo was happily walked. So happy to have found a dog walker that equally loves Lilo!”
About: For nearly two decades, my neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to care for their pets when they are away. I have extensive experience looking after dogs and cats of all ages and needs. Not only can I take your high-energy dog for a long walk or run, I will also slow things down to give your elderly pet the time and attention they need. I’m known for never refusing a belly rub and always loving your pets like my own. I am also happy to check up on aquarium dwellers (like my client who has goldfish!) I am a professional dancer and summer is the slow season, so I have flexible hours that can fit anyone’s busy day. I am available for daytime check-ins, walks, and daycare any day of the week. My schedule easily allows for pet pickups/drop offs and house sitting. I am home most of the day to keep your dog company. If I am out of the house it usually will only be for a couple hours and I have a very friendly dog who will comfort your dog in my absence. Because I am home most of the time, I can do exercise and potty breaks as frequently as you would like.
About: Hi! My name is Maggie, and I’m a junior at UCSB studying biology. I’ve grown up around all kinds of pets and have always loved caring for animals. I currently have two dogs of my own, Baby, a Yorkie, and Lexi, a Golden Retriever. They are definitely opposite ends of the dog spectrum but I love them so much and am very comfortable with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels! I also have previous dog sitting experience and understand how important it is to pay attention to each pet’s individual routine and needs. I’m hardworking, energetic, responsible, and detail oriented. I love being outdoors, hiking, and going on walks, so I’d be more than happy to bring your furry family member along for some exercise and adventure. Most importantly, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, cared for, and gets plenty of attention while you’re away! I’m currently home from college for the next couple of weeks, so my schedule is completely open and very flexible! I’m available throughout the day, evenings, and weekends, and I’m happy to work around whatever schedule is best for you and your pet. Whether it’s walks, dropins, playtime, or just keeping them company, I’d be more than happy to help! I have two dogs of my own who I feed, walk, play with, and care for every day, so pet care is already a big part of my routine. My little Yorkie, Baby, even sleeps with me every night! I’m very attentive to pets’ routines and make sure they’re fed on time, have fresh water, get plenty of exercise and attention, and are always in a safe environment. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and will follow any specific instructions carefully so their pet can stay comfortable with their normal routine while they’re away.
“Mike is incredibly professional, friendly, and took such great care of our dog. He was focused on making sure he did everything according to our dog’s regular schedule, and he was very skilled at managing our dog (who can be a handful). I will definitely book Mike again and I recommend him as your next dog walker/sitter.”
“Lori was great at communicating. She was sweet with our dog, Zara, and Zara seemed to like her. We had hired her for a walk, and we look forward to using her to stay with Zara at a future date.”
“Amy is extremely attentive, detailed, and reliable. She responds in a timely manner and goes above and beyond with helping including washing bowls, refilling water, and turning on/off lights around the house without even being requested. Thank you!”
About: I grew up with animals, have cat and dog sat for friends for years. I also have experience with fish, lizards, snakes, frogs, etc. I always send pictures and make sure the details are right! Also my name is Alex - Rover won't let me change it ; ) Hi! My name is Alex. I am a writer and filmmaker with a flexible schedule and often work from home. Happy to stop by once or to build a longer dynamic with your pet and create a routine. I always make sure they are comfortable and happy and engaged. How varies depending on the pet! But I like to take it slow and make sure they are comfortable with me and know me.
About: I’m reliable, attentive, and genuinely care about the animals I watch. I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own and make sure they’re safe and comfortable while in my care I have a senior dog of my own, so I’m very familiar with routines, medications, and taking things at an older pet’s pace. Over the years I’ve watched dogs, cats, turtles, birds, snakes, and just about anything else you can think of. I spent many years as a teacher, but recently made the decision to step into a slower pace of life. Now I’m available daily for pet visits or dogs walks. I love being able to give animals the calm, consistent attention they deserve. Right now I provide pet care (daily visits, walks etc) exclusively in my clients’ homes, allowing pets to stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I do not offer care in my own home.
About: I have had many dogs of my own, cared for them as puppies into their old age. Big and small, from Golden Retrievers to Chihuahuas. I have pet sat many times for cats and dogs. I have a very open and flexible schedule, I am on summer break currently. I am available everyday of the week and weekend, and have reliable transportation and the flexibility for longer stays. I spend quality time with them, play with them, and make sure they are eating, drinking, and exercising properly. Making sure they are happy and comfortable with me.
“Andrew was so amazing! He followed my instructions perfectly. He is clearly experienced and takes his job seriously. He was very friendly, and professional. I’m happy I finally found a reliable person to take care of my dog. Will be booking again. Thank you so much, Andrew!”
About: Your pet's comfort and happiness are my top priority, and I believe the best way to achieve that is by keeping things as familiar as possible. I stick closely to your pet's normal routine - feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any medications - so they feel safe and at ease whether you are home or away. I am reliable, attentive, and genuinely patient with all kinds of personalities. Whether your pup is high-energy and needs plenty of activity or is a more laid-back companion who just wants some quiet company, I adapt to whatever makes your pet feel most comfortable. I have a special place in my heart for senior dogs and understand the extra care and patience they require. From managing medications and limited mobility to providing gentle companionship and a calm environment, I am experienced in making older dogs feel comfortable, loved, and well looked after. Communication is something I take seriously. I know how much you love your pet, and I never want you to wonder how they are doing. You can count on regular updates and photos throughout the day so you always have peace of mind. Pet care fits naturally into my lifestyle. I am a freelancer who works from home with a flexible schedule, which means I am around the house throughout the day and can plan my entire routine around your pet's needs. When I am in your home, I follow your instructions carefully and treat your space and your pet with the utmost respect. My goal is simple - to make sure your furry family member feels loved, cared for, and right at home until you return. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine. As a freelancer who works from home, I have the flexibility to structure my entire day around your pet's needs. Throughout the day I take regular breaks from work to check in, play, and spend quality time with any pets in my care. Your pet will never feel like an afterthought - they are always my priority. To give your pet the best possible care, I love learning as much about them as I can before we get started. Knowing their daily routine, energy level, feeding schedule, medications, and any special needs helps me make sure they feel right at home. I also like to understand their personality - how they interact with other dogs and people, any quirks or preferences, and what makes them feel safe and comfortable. The more I know about your pet, the better I can care for them the way you would
“Kyle is a great dog walker. He provided photos and updates on my pup. I trusted him to give my pup the best care, always looking out for his best interest. I highly recommend Kyle.”
About: I've had many dogs growing up from a Chihuahua, Sharpei, Husky and now three of my own rescue mutts. Recently, I volunteered with a rescue in Agoura Hills bringing in dogs from Korea for a year, transporting them from LAX to an adoption center. Also, I have volunteered at the Pasadena Humane Society and North Central Shelter here in LA. Paying close attention to detail, I administered daily medication, fed a special diet (often cooking homemade meals) and had monthly vet visits for a senior dog all while taking care of my young toddler. Since I've been a full time mom, I have most weekdays free between school hours and some evenings. When I don't have to take my daughter to her weekly activities, I am also available weekends. I'm pretty flexible and could be available on short notice. I have 3 dogs who are all potty trained and do not need to be crated. I understand everybody has different needs and environments, which I am open to assisting. I strongly believe in mental and physical stimulation for pets and therefore can play with them, give toys, snuffle mats, fetch balls, go over basic commands and even give baths. Walks are ideal in their own neighborhood, or just letting them out in their yard if that's what they're use to. I am able to give treats, or food when needed and give medication. Most importantly, I want my pets to feel safe, given undivided attention, and loved.
About: We're a family of four dog lovers who often take care of our neighbor's dog (and cats). We have one indoor cat who thinks he is a dog and plays with dogs and another indoor cat who likes to hide. We used to have a dog before, so we know how to train dog and teach dog tricks. We also have flexible work schedule and will not leave the dog alone for long time and will follow special instructions to meet your needs. We're doing this for fun and extra financial income to support kids' education. We live in a townhouse with a small enclosed patio area, therefore we only take dogs who are used to living indoors and are potty trained, we're very close to the Garfield Park, so we frequent the park unless we're told not to do long walks. Why I love dog sitting always a dog lover. We used to have a pit bull-lab mix and we are good at training dogs. About my yard very small patio in the front, with gate. My experience administering medication with instructions, sure. I work at home part time, so I have the flexibility to keep dogs company. I live close to the park and generally takes long walks daily. It depends on different dogs' needs. I often follow owner's instruction and try to keep the staying as close to as the dog's original home condition.
About: Hi! I recently graduated from UCSB and have a very flexible schedule this summer before starting my full-time job. I’ve dog sat for family friends, and neighbors over the years and genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs. I’ve cared for a Maltese for several weeks, looked after a German Shepherd, and watched other small and medium-sized dogs. I’m comfortable following feeding schedules, going on walks, playing with dogs, and making sure they feel comfortable while their owners are away. I always try to provide the same level of care and attention they receive at home. I’m also happy to send photo updates so you can feel confident that your pet is in good hands. I have a very flexible schedule and can provide care throughout the day, which means your dog will get plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and companionship. I’m available on weekdays and weekends and can easily adjust to your dog’s normal routine. Since I’m home most of the day, I can make sure your pet feels comfortable, cared for, and never left alone for long periods of time. I live in a spacious townhouse with plenty of room for dogs to relax and move around comfortably. I also have a private porch where dogs can safely spend time outside and enjoy some fresh air. There is a coach outside for them to lay on. I understand that every dog has different needs and routines, so I always follow owner instructions carefully regarding feeding, walks, exercise, and any special care. My goal is to make your dog feel safe, comfortable, and at home while you’re away.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - South Pasadena
Lori was great! We reached out to her while we were away on vacation…we needed a last-minute dog walker for a week. Lori was very reliable - good communication, sent photos and updates, on time for all the early morning walks. Our girl Ruby was happy and well-cared for. We’re very happy to have found Lori and will use her again!
Helen is a dog walking rock star. We travel a fair amount, and knowing she has our pups is the reason we're not worrying the whole time we're gone. We come home to dogs who are calm, happy, and obviously well cared for, and that doesn't happen by accident — it's the exercise and the real attention she gives them. If you're looking for someone to trust with your dogs, it's Helen. AAA+++
This is me and my husband’s first time using Rover and with 2 dogs who can be reactive and have high energy, we had some reservations about picking a walker. Lauriane was very sweet and understanding of our dogs’ little quirks and the did great with her during our meet and greet and first walk together. She provided so many photos/videos which we really appreciated!! 10/10 recommend.
Jackie is incredible and soooo sweet and kind. She has been amazing with Leo and Juji! We absolutely love all the photos and videos she sends during the walk. It always give us peace of mind and make our day. It’s clear she genuinely cares about them, and they always come home happy and well-exercised. She’s reliable, communicative, and treats our pups like they’re her own. We highly recommend Jackie to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy dog walker!
Alejandro was fantastic with our dogs, Juji and Leo! He was reliable, communicative, and made us feel completely at ease while they were in his care. It was clear they were well looked after, and we really appreciated the updates and attention he gave them. We’re so grateful to have found someone we can trust, and we’re excited to book with Alejandro again in the future. Highly recommend!

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.

Every walker 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 .

- 88% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise

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 dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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 walker.
