“Jess provided daily updates with pics and my dog looked content. He came back home in good state. Thank you to Jess and family for taking such good care of Chewie! Will definitely be coming back for future dog sitting ❤️”
“Lianna and her husband were awesome. I was very worried about one of my dogs and he did great. Lianna kept me at ease replying to my messages. Definitely would recommend her and I’m using her again soon. Thank you so much!”
“Mike & Ja Hyung were the best dogsitters!! My dog Poluna is a small Shih Tzu-Maltese mix and honestly thinks she’s bigger and better than everyone, so she’s not always the friendliest. But Mike & Ja Hyung were so sweet and let us stop by ahead of time so our dogs could meet—and everything went great! Their dog Bendy was so sweet and calm, he was exactly what Poluna needed to learn how to be friendly and adjust to a new home for a few days. One of my family’s biggest concerns is making sure Poluna is safe and secure wherever she stays—and also that the place is clean because she will literally eat anything off the floor. Mike & Ja Hyung totally reassured us that if the dogs were outside, someone would always be with them, and that they were going to clean the floors the night before in preparation. SO AMAZING. We’ve never felt so comfortable leaving Poluna with anyone. They sent updates, pics, and videos all weekend, and were just the sweetest couple. They accommodated everything we needed, and we’ll definitely be using them again. Poluna came home so tired after her weekend-long playdate with Bendy—sign of a good time!”
“We glad Tobby enjoyed his vacation again with Eric, he looks great in the photos & videos, good on this little old guy to have Eric to taken care of him. I would definitely recommend Eric to whom needs sitter when out of town.”
“Narar was amazing to our Frenchie! She kept him super fresh and happy. Took him on a lot of walks. Sent me a lot of pictures to keep us updated which we loved. Our frenchie really enjoyed playing with her sweet dog Chichi. She is great I highly recommend her!”
“We left our doggies with Mel for 4 days and he did such a great job with them. He was able to meet their needs and change things around according to their personalities and kept us updated throughout the 4 days. We felt reassured the whole time we were away from the dogs and won’t hesitate to book our dogs with him again. Thanks for your help, Mel!”
“In preparation for a longer stay, I brought my dog Lexi to stay one night with Cristina to get her comfortable with staying over. Similar to her first daycare visit, Cristina was amazing! Lexi was nervous on her first visit but when I brought her back, she ran up to Cristina’s front door. Her patience with Lexi while she has her bouts of anxiousness is so comforting to me while I am away from her. I am so thankful to have found such a great person to take care of Lexi while I am away!”
“Chris was AMAZING! Throughout the whole process she made me feel so comfortable and was great at communicating. I received multiple pics throughout the day which made my day. She loved/took care of my pup as if he was her own. Will definitely book her again in the future and highly recommend her to everyone ?”
“Our dog Loki just spent a few days with Allycia and had a wonderful time! We received fantastic updates and photos the entire time we were away. Loki was relaxed, happy, and well cared for when we picked him up. We highly recommend Allycia and will definitely use her again!”
“Soonok was so wonderful in caring for our dog Enzo. If you’re looking for a compassionate dog sitter who gives lots of attention to your fur baby, she is the one! Enzo is usually anxious when boarding at larger facilities. We had a long trip and were worried he would be too stressed, so we found Soonok. After Enzo’s stay with her, he came home calm and relaxed. She sent us photos and videos and we could tell he was having a happy time with her. Thank you Soonok!”
“Lauren is a wonderful pet sitter who takes excellent care of our furry troop! Right off the bat when I first met her, she is very warm and friendly and was great with our pets! When we came home after our weekend away our pets were relaxed and happy.She always takes amazing care of my pup who had severe separate anxiety and stressful experience from petsmart. It's always hard to be away from your furry kids, but I have no worries with that Lauren, I know my pups are in great hands! Lauren alwaya my first choice! She is truly cares about your pets and let your pets have fun/party”
“Left our elderly dog with Judy for 2 weeks while on vacation. She sent updates, pics and took the very best care of him. So reassuring not having to worry about our future baby while so far away. Judy is wonderful!”
“Felix took very good care of my dog. They have the best affordable rate in the area! While I was away, they communicated well and sent me pictures and videos of how my dog was doing. I like that they showed care for my dog. Will book with Felix again! Thank you for your service.”
“Bella and Bentley had a great stay at Magda’s home. They were spoiled with pets and ice scream. She also sent me pictures and videos of them so I felt comfortable while I was out of town.”
“Maritza is one of a million dog sitter. I was extremely impressed with her daycare set up. The grounds were extremely clean and her attention to detail to provide the upmost care for your pet. She was extremely accommodating and pleasant to work with. She would provide me updates on my dog Daisy with photos and a detailed report on her interactions with each dog. She also provided an end of day report of Daisy which I was so excited to receive. She had the perfect set up inside her home for a dog to feel they’re right at home. I will always hire Maritza for future sitting services, I would recommend anyone her services, so impressed and filled with much gratitude knowing my furry family member was taken care of. You are the best out there, truly mean it!”
About: I love animals and have experience taking care of pets for family and friends. I can feed them, walk them, play with them, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I am available all week. During these days I can spend quality time with pets, making sure they are fed, walked, comfortable, and well cared for. I always make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully, keep a clean environment, and give pets attention, patience, and lots of care.
About: What sets me apart is that caring for dogs has always been more than just a responsibility to me, it comes from my heart. I’ve had dogs since middle school, and I’ve always loved and cared for them as if they were my own children. I understand that our dogs are family and I believe they deserve to feel safe, comfortable, and deeply loved, even when their parents are away. I had the privilege of raising my handsome boy Oliver from the time I was in eighth grade until he passed away in May of 2026. He was such a special part of my life, and caring for him taught me so much about the patience, attention, and compassion dogs need as they grow older. Through my own experience, I’ve learned how important it is to recognize and adapt to a dog’s changing needs throughout every stage of their life, from tiny puppies to seniors. I also have two young dogs of my own who I’ve raised since they were puppies. This has given me hands on experience with the patience, consistency, and attention that young dogs need as they learn and grow. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, and I always do my best to make each one feels secure, understood, and cared for. When your dog is with me, I want you to feel confident knowing they’re receiving more than basic care. They’ll receive genuine affection, patience, attention, and plenty of love. I’ll treat your fur baby with the same tenderness and care I give my own because I know just how much they mean to you. I work from home Monday through Friday which gives me the flexibility to provide attentive, loving care throughout the day. I’m available after 12 PM on weekdays and can accommodate weekend bookings with at least one week’s notice. Because I work from home, I can dedicate plenty of time to your fur baby’s care, whether that means keeping them company, providing potty breaks, going on walks, enjoying playtime, or simply giving them extra cuddles and attention. I understand how important it is for dogs to feel comfortable and secure while their families are away, and I do my best to maintain their usual routines and make them feel right at home. In my home: I primarily offer pet sitting in my home, where your fur baby will have companionship throughout the day and the opportunity to play and socialize with my two dogs, as long as they’re comfortable around other dogs. I do my best to keep everyone on a consistent routine for meals, potty breaks, playtime, and rest so your pup can settle in comfortably. We do have a shared courtyard at the apartments, where I can take the dogs out for a potty break. I welcome dogs at any time, and I always prioritize their safety, individual needs, and comfort. In your home: I’m available for pet sitting at your home after 3:30 PM on weekdays and anytime on weekends. I understand how comforting it can be for dogs to remain in their familiar environment, surrounded by their own things and routines. I’ll follow your instructions closely, maintain their usual schedule, and give them plenty of affection and attention. Potty breaks and walks: I can also stop by for potty breaks and walks to help keep your pup happy, comfortable, and active throughout the day. I’ll always be mindful of their age, energy level, and individual needs. No matter which service you choose, I want you to feel confident knowing your fur baby is receiving attentive, patient, and loving care. I will also send you photos and videos throughout the day so you know how your baby is doing. I know how much our dogs mean to us, and I’ll treat yours with the same kindness and consideration I give my own. My goal is to make your time away easier for you and as comfortable as possible for your little one!
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - South Whittier
Eric has taken care of my fur baby Jonah 3 times now and he again has gone above and beyond. It’s always difficult when we aren’t able to take our doggies with us when out of town but Eric makes sure Jonah is well taken care of. He sends multiple pictures and updates throughout the day. These always make me smile and I can see how much Eric treats Jonah like he’s part of his family. Eric not only takes extremely good care of him but also is supportive, kind and caring of me which is so very much appreciated.
Once again Jasmine (and her family!) did a fantastic job with Fenris. As a newer Rover user, I was nervous but she is always kind and patient with me. I am happy to leave my dog with her and even overnight, he was happy and well-adjusted by the time I came to pick him up the next day! Definitely planning to use Jasmin again!
My 16 year old dog boarded with Stephanie for 2 nights and I highly recommend her as a sitter. She gave Ralphie multiple walks and gave me updates on how everything was going. I felt my dog was very safe with her and her family. I will definitely be calling her next time we need to board him again.
Janet is an absolute incredible dog sitter for our pitty Marley! She sends pics and videos daily and each time we pick up Marley she makes a little arts and crafts design with his paw 🥹 her adult kids are great too bc they love Marley as well and love playing with him. We always feel at ease when we leave Marley with her for our family vacations. Will absolutely book her again!
Ani was amazing!! My dog, who has a lot of fear, warmed up so quick so I know she gave him the best care and was super gentle and patient with him! I struggle leaving him with new people but with Ani, I felt super at ease and she was super understanding and accommodating with everything he needed!
Many thanks Pom & James for your exceptional dog sitting for Diego. We are thankful and grateful for your attentiveness and care for Diego. You made us feel completely at ease while we were away, and it was clear that Diego was in great hands. We truly appreciate the updates and the genuine love you showed him. We look forward to booking with you again in the future! -Nancy & Rudy
Our dog Sunny lives his best life with he’s with Alex! He is such an amazing dog sitter! Sunny made new dog friends & human friends during his stay. Alex took the dogs hiking and gave them homemade ice cream! Alex spoils his dogs rotten and we are so thankful to know that our furbaby is in great hands when we are away!
Joonshik took absolutely amazing care of my dog Robin while I was away for a flight, and I couldn’t be more grateful. From the start, he was incredibly kind, communicative, and clearly experienced with dogs. He sent regular photo updates that gave me so much peace of mind and made it easy to see that Robin was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. My dog is very attached to me, and I truly consider her one of my kids, and knowing she was in such wonderful hands made all the difference. Joonshik went above and beyond to make sure she felt safe and loved, and that meant everything to me. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely caring pet care. I will definitely be booking with him again in the future!
I would recommend Adriana every day all day. She’s the best. I have never left my baby with anybody because he’s so attached to us and he has a feeding scheduled ,she followed every little thing that I told her to make him feel happy . She is the best I would have only her babysit my baby because I would have no worries, knowing that she is taking care of him thank you so much for being such a good sitter for my baby.
Lauren was amazing!!! Nami warmed up to her and her family immediately. Her puppy is super cute and became besties with my dog over the weekend! Her backyard was perfect for my large dog to roam and play. Needless to say, i plan to book with Lauren again in the future. Highly recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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 South Whittier home-away-from-home, 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 South Whittier.
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.
You and your South Whittier 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 , 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 .
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.
