“Jasmine, her husband, and her children were great with Fenris. She is super friendly, easy to communicate with, and was a great pleasure to meet. Also listened to my worries about Fenris and reassured me with her experience. Would definitely recommend her to others!”
“We had such a great experience! She did an amazing job taking care of our pup and kept us updated throughout her stay with lots of pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. We really appreciated how communicative and attentive she was. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!”
“Our pup was in good hands. Magda is so nice and you can tell she cares about all the dogs she watches. The fact that she had a fenced front and backyard are a big plus. Cleo slept through the whole night and even when we took her out of her crate she just laid in bed. We will be using her services again!”
About: I absolutely love animals, especially dogs and cats, and have dedicated 17 years to caring for them. My experience includes working at various pet hotels, where I provided loving, attentive care. Animals bring me joy, and I’m passionate about ensuring they feel safe, happy, and well-cared for every day. My pup that I had for 16 years passed in March 2024 and I can’t find the heart to get another pet of my own, but I would love to help others take care of theirs. I work from home and I’m very flexible. I also have reliable transportation, it is also a large vehicle so I am able to transport large dogs/pet equipment I have a very large property that is fully enclosed and double gated… The front gate facing the street is an iron 6 foot gate.
About: We have lots of experience in raising and loving dogs for over 40 years with the ability to care for any age or size. We've had dogs all our married life and our most recent dog, Reba is looking for some friends to play with. We're able to cater to your dogs special diets, continue to implement your training techniques and provide that loving home while you are away. As a retired husband and wife duo our schedules are quite flexible and we spend most of our time at home with our dog Reba. Drop off anytime between 7 AM - 8 PM (please inquire for drop off outside these times for availability). A doggie door provides easy access to our fully fenced in backyard with plenty of grass, a lovely patio and lots of shade to create the perfect space for your dog to lounge outside. Inside the home we're able to provide a safe space to eat and a cozy environment where dogs can lounge on the couches and escape the heat. While we don't allow dogs in our bed you're more then welcome to bring their favorite bed/blanket and we'll provide a quiet space for them to dream away. Our grandchildren visit often (ages 10 +) so kid friendly dogs are a must.
“I’m a newer puppy parent and it can be a bit stressful to leave your little ones with a sitter. HOWEVER, Jennell is more than a sitter, she loves and cares for my boy as if he were hers and I am super grateful for that. I feel totally comfortable and secure that while my boy is with her and her family, he is happy and safe! Love, love, love Jennell’s heart for our fur babies!”
“Janet was amazing with Yogi! I could tell he was comfortable with Janet as soon as he walked through the door. It eased my mind knowing he was in good hands for the evening. She kept me up to date with photos. Would highly recommend Janet and her services.”
About: Pets have been a part of our family for 20 plus years. Each one has been a crucial part of our lives, teaching us how to care for one another with grace and admiration. We have raised pets from puppies and kittens all way to seniors. From walking great danes to feeding little cats, our family can care for loved ones no matter what special attention they may need. Our fenced in yard has plenty of space for playful puppies while our home is located near a beautiful bike path for lovely evening walks. Your pet will receive all the attention and support they need so you can rest assured they are safe and cared for. I am currently a stay at home dad with plenty of time to care for and play with pets. Once the kids are off to school our day will be filled with unforgettable fun and excitement here in beautiful Whittier California. Whether your dog prefers inside or outside, our home is a perfect fit. Our fenced in backyard has plenty of space for running and play. After some exercise your pet can relax on our extra large dog bed or even take their spot on our couch. If your pet just needs an afternoon walk, I have everyday experience walking dogs of all sizes. Safety and awareness are my top priorities while taking your dog on a stroll.
About: I've been a dedicated dog owner since 2020 and understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet. I currently care for my own friendly Maltipoo and have regularly watched dogs for friends and family over the years. My experience includes caring for dogs with separation anxiety, maintaining feeding and walking routines, and administering medications when they can be given through treats or pill pockets. Because every dog has a different personality and comfort level, I take the time to learn their routines and preferences so they feel safe and comfortable while you're away. Whether your dog enjoys playtime, long walks, or simply relaxing with company throughout the day, I'll make sure they receive plenty of attention, care, and affection. I work remotely and spend most weekdays at home, allowing me to provide consistent supervision and companionship throughout the day. I'm also available most weekends and can accommodate a variety of schedules. Because I work from home, I'm able to check on pets frequently and provide regular potty breaks, exercise, feeding, and attention. This setup works especially well for dogs that enjoy companionship or may experience mild separation anxiety when left alone for extended periods. My goal is to keep your pet's routine as normal and stress-free as possible while you're away. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I live in a single-family home with a fully fenced yard, providing a secure environment for supervised outdoor time and play. Before each booking, I like to learn about your pet's routine, personality, favorite activities, and any special instructions so I can provide individualized care. I am comfortable caring for senior dogs, administering medications through treats or pill pockets when appropriate, and following detailed care instructions. I know how reassuring updates can be while you're away, so I provide regular communication and photos throughout each stay. As a dog owner myself, I understand that pets are family members, and I strive to care for every dog as if they were my own.
“Cristina was great with Taquito, i was Very nervous to leave him since he’s only 4 months old, but Cristina made me feel at ease by sending me pics and videos. Taquito definitely enjoyed himself and i def will feel comfortable leaving him with Cristina while we are away for Xmas. Thank you again Cristina!”
“Shannon was absolutely amazing with my dog Jojo! She sent multiple photos and videos which put my mind at ease while at work. Jojo felt right at home and was so happy when we picked him up. Will definitely book again!" 5 stars! Shannon was reliable, communicative, and treated my puppy like family. Very responsible and trustworthy—highly recommended!”
About: I have loved animals since I was a child and have always grown up in a household with many different pets. I have experience caring for both cats and dogs, including senior dogs who may need extra patience, attention, and care. I frequently pet sit for family and friends, and they often rely on me to pet sit because they know I am responsible, loving, and caring. I enjoy spending time with animals, keeping them comfortable and safe, and making sure they receive the love, attention, and fun they need while their owners are away! I’m a student athlete, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give pets the care and attention they need. I’m available for boarding pretty much everyday, my schedule can vary depending on my sports schedule which is only a few hours throughout the day, so feel free to send me a quick message with the time you need care, and I can confirm my availability. I want every pet in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and at home. I’m happy to follow each pet’s routine and provide whatever they need to feel comfortable, whether that means having their own space, being separated from my pets, getting extra attention, or having plenty of playtime. For dogs, I can provide walks, exercise, and trips to the dog park when appropriate. I’m also happy to care for pets in their own home and follow their usual routines. My goal is to make sure every pet feels secure, cared for, and loved while their owner is away.
“Sophia came for a first visit and had a great time. Amy her host communicated well and provided updates throughout. Sophia hadn’t been with a dog sitter for over one month but seemed happy when we picked her up. We will definitely come back again!”
About: I've been a dog owner since I was about 7 years old. I had a husky mix growing up, a very active dog all black with a curly tail I'd walk regularly and keep active. I now have two small breed dogs. A chihuahua mix named Brownie that's just 8 lbs, rescued in 2015 and I have a Rat Terrier named Taco and he was rescued in March 2020, he's about 15 lbs. All their shots are up to date and they are neutered. I am an active runner/walker and I enjoy taking my dogs out for walks regularly/daily. I take them out for about 1 mile or more if we're going out on trails or more adventures. I've traveled with my dogs by plane and by car. I'm very comfortable with dogs! Love spending time with them. I've walked my dogs and others dogs now for years. I have a two active pups to play with should they wish but otherwise they're welcome to play and have fun how they wish. I love to let them have fun.
About: Hi! I’m Emily a full time pet sitter and dog walker based in Pico Rivera! I’m reliable and will ensure to provide the love and care your pet needs 🐾🩷 My priority is your pet’s happiness.

About: Being around animals brings me a lot of joy. I love discovering their individual personalities because, just like people, every pet is different. When I meet an animal, I pay attention to their energy and let them show me what they need. Some want to play immediately, some are cautious, and some would rather observe from across the room for a while. I’m happy to meet them wherever they are rather than forcing interaction. My Shiba and Malamute have taught me plenty about that. My Malamute is a big-time attention seeker, while my Shiba prefers his personal space (although he occasionally gives in to a cuddle and then mysteriously ends up snoring next to me). 😂 I keep boarding intentionally small so your pet gets the attention they deserve in a calm home environment. I’m comfortable with puppies, seniors, energetic dogs, shy pets, and animals who need medication or extra patience. Most importantly, I’ll follow the care and routines you want for your pet. You know them best, and I want their stay to feel as comfortable and familiar as possible. Pet care is my full-time focus, so I have flexibility for early mornings, midday visits, overnights, and last-minute requests when available. I’m responsive and happy to work around your pet’s normal routine, including specific feeding, exercise, or medication schedules. My home is calm, non-smoking, and fully fenced. I have two dogs of my own, and I’m experienced with introducing and managing animals thoughtfully so everyone can feel comfortable. I keep boarding intentionally small and pay close attention to each pet’s temperament and needs. Client dogs stay leashed until we’re safely inside, and I don’t take them to dog parks. For house sitting, I treat your home with the same respect I would want for my own. I’ll follow your routines, care for your space, and make sure your pets get the same attention and consistency they’re used to.
“Mike took a great care of my dog while I was out for the day. I was worried because my dog has separation anxiety and she has not been to doggy care before. Mike made sure she felt comfortable with him by taking her out on a walk. He also sent me updates with photos throughout the day to make sure I knew she was doing okay. I would certainly recommend Mike & Ja hyung to anyone looking for a sitter!”

Emily did such an amazing job watching my pup. She let me know in advance what to expect while she watched Penny (what other dogs she had, their age, temperament, etc). She sent me regular updates, photos, and videos which gave me such peace of mind. Will be coming back to Emily for dog sitting in the future!
Jasmine, her husband, and her children were great with Fenris. She is super friendly, easy to communicate with, and was a great pleasure to meet. Also listened to my worries about Fenris and reassured me with her experience. Would definitely recommend her to others!
My experience with Eric was great!! It was my first time leaving my dogs with somebody that isn’t family so I was really nervous. Both my dogs are French bulldogs and it was reassuring to know that he has French bulldogs himself. So I know he’s experienced with these types of dogs. He was communicating with me throughout the whole day and also sent me multiple pictures of my dogs. I appreciated that!! I look forward to booking him again in the future! I would definitely recommend Eric to anyone looking for a dog sitter!!
Miriam was the perfect host to my Golden Robbie pup. Her 3 dogs were very welcoming as well. Robbie and Miriam's doodle ended up best pals. Miriam is highly communicative and sends pics and is very reassuring ! I wholeheartedly recommend Miriam and her care.
We were traveling from out of town and needed a Dogsitter for our little baby Diego and were grateful to find Crisabel and Steve. Diego immediately felt right at home and it was a huge relief for us. We only wish Crisabel lived in our town because theirs would be Diego’s second home. He also loved Billie Jean, their Boston Terrier. Definitely made it more fun for him.
Adriana was genuinely amazing with my dog! She was so sweet, very patient, and super accommodating with my timing, which helped me so much. She kept Potata well-fed, walked, and comfortable, and she updated me throughout the day with messages and photos. I could really tell she cared about him, and he looked so happy with her. I felt completely at ease leaving him in her care. I highly recommend her truly such a great sitter!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in South Whittier on Rover is $32.1 per day (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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 South Whittier 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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.

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.
