“Arika did an incredible job taking care of Orion, our cat while we were away for a week. She brushed him every day, brought interesting toys for him to try out, and gave him lots of amazing care and attention! She even sent pix and videos. She also did small details like bring in the mail and even asked if we needed plants to be watered. She ended up watering our garden boxes which kept our plants alive while we were away. We would highly recommend Arika! She is kind and very professional and we were so happy that our cat had such great care.”
About: Hi there! I'm a certified animal lover and lifelong dog person. 🐾 I've grown up with dogs my whole life, and these days my sidekick is my adorable 3-year-old Maltipoo, who keeps me on my toes and reminds me every day why I love caring for pups. I have experience with dogs of all ages—from energetic puppies to sweet senior companions—and I believe every dog deserves patience, kindness, and lots of love. My goal is to make every walk fun, enriching, and stress-free, while making sure your furry family member feels safe and cared for. Safety is always my top priority. I'm responsible, attentive, and always looking for opportunities to learn more about dog behavior, positive training techniques, and how to confidently handle dogs with different personalities and needs. Whether your pup loves long adventures, leisurely sniff walks, or just wants a friendly companion while you're away, I'd be honored to care for them like they're one of my own. I can't wait to meet you and your best friend! I work from home so I have the flexibility to walk your pups or check in any time. Just give me a day's notice and I will respond right away. Safety is my upmost priority. I always make sure to supervise my pups when they are outside. I believe it's very important to always be aware of my surroundings while walking, so I never look at my phone. I love to give lots of cuddles and positive reinforcement.

“Payje is reliable, communicative, and gets along great with my dog Tyson. I am so happy I found her as she has been a consistently great at dropping in. Highly recommend!”
About: I always used to say I wanted to be a Veterinarian since I can remember, but with life and all that comes with it, sadly I gave up that dream. However, just because being a Veterinarian didn't work out didn't mean I have given up on my care and love for animals. I have been lucky in being able to care for many cats and dogs in my life time. From tiny new born kittens to a senior dog in her last days, I have cared for many and consider it an honor to have a relationship with an animal. I am a full-time pet care provider. I do have a part time job that requires me to leave for 4 to 5 hours a couple times a week but other than that I am dedicated to caring for you animal during the time I am with them. I currently live with four cats in my home. They are family pets and though I love them they are more my parents cats. In the past I have been responsible for feeding and caring for both indoor and out door pets. I stay conscious of what my pets feeding and/or walking schedules were like. I also like to know if the pet is a playful one that would like my engagement or a cuddler that likes the snuggles and pets. In the case of new animals that I haven't met before I try to make my introduction as gentle and friendly as possible. I do prefer in the cases of dogs that I meet them first with their owner present so that the dog knows I can be trusted. As for cats I haven't noticed them really caring most of the time. However, I appreciate an introduction if it is possible.

About: I have taken care of dogs for friends and family for over 5 years, now I want to do that for you! I can assure you that your furry friend will be safe in my hands! I have experience with dogs of all ages and have taught my dogs basic tricks so I can help with that if needed. I can administer meds for your senior dog as well! I can’t wait to meet your puppy and build a trustworthy relationship! I am trying to create a better work-life balance, so I am planning on making this my full time gig for the summer! I am hoping to have a clear schedule to make time for all your walking/in-home needs! In your home, I would be sure to respect your space, and only do what is necessary for your pup(s)! I have 4 dogs so I won’t board at home, but on walks, your dog’s safety is of the utmost importance.
About: I've taken care of many breeds of dogs since I was 8. I've been told by friends and family that I am reliable when it comes to bathing, walking and playing around the pups. I'm currently working a part-time job with it being extremely flexible. So my schedule will be fitted around my availability around it. Aside from that, my availability would be typically In the mornings-mid afternoon as well as weekends. Just give me a message and we can go from there! If I were to care for pets in my home or someone else's, I would make sure to keep chocking hazards out of sight. As well as foods that could potentially be dangerous to said pets. If there were certain rules to follow, I would follow. I would also keep in contact with clients for any updates on their pets. If I were also to be in a clients home, I would make sure I'm not doing anything I'm not suppose to be doing other than take care of their animals
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.

I can do medication, including injections, give them breakfasts and snacks pending parents bringing what the babies like Im currently available everyday, once I start my daily job, I can still stay at your homes, and walk, feed and play. And all day onweekends, mindful that I am available now 24/7 I have a fenced yard, no other doggies on property. I always say less is more when it comes to meeting a new pup no matter the age. This is to gain trust with myself and them.
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - South Whittier
This was my first time using a pet sitter for drop-in visits rather than boarding, and I’m so thankful Sugey was available on such short notice! She took the time to do a meet-and-greet a couple of days beforehand, which I felt was beneficial for all of us, especially our cat. Sugey went above and beyond, kept me updated, and even sent pictures during her visits, which gave me peace of mind. I truly appreciated her care and attentiveness and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter! I would definitely book her again to care for our cat.
Jessica went above and beyond taking care of Loki! She was incredibly caring, reliable, and always kept me updated and gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I could tell she genuinely cared about Loki and treated him like her own. She made sure he was comfortable, happy, and getting plenty of attention and love. I’m so grateful I found someone I can trust with Loki, and I’ll definitely be booking with Jessica again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing and trustworthy cat sitter! ❤️
Hazel stopped by to feed and check-in on my orphaned neonatal kitten, and she exceeded expectations! Neonatals require more care like bottle-feeding and expressing, and she did those things no problem. Highly recommend choosing Hazel for your petsitting needs!!
Arika did an incredible job taking care of Orion, our cat while we were away for a week. She brushed him every day, brought interesting toys for him to try out, and gave him lots of amazing care and attention! She even sent pix and videos. She also did small details like bring in the mail and even asked if we needed plants to be watered. She ended up watering our garden boxes which kept our plants alive while we were away. We would highly recommend Arika! She is kind and very professional and we were so happy that our cat had such great care.
My dog has been struggling with a severe flea infestation, and my doctor said that flea exposure is a big no no for me. Layla has been patient with my dog (he’s touchy) and had thoroughly cleaned him of his fleas. There is a noticeable improvement in his mood and itching.
Alicia did amazing checking in on our dog! Even tho the drop in request was last minute, she still accepted and did a great job following instructions. She took him outside for restroom and played with him. He was so happy and warmed up to her almost immediately. Will definitely be booking her again !
Emilia was absolutely fantastic. She walked two dogs I’m currently sitting for, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the start, she was communicative, reliable, and clearly experienced with handling multiple dogs at once. What stood out most was the level of care and attention she gave them. She sent photos during the walk, which was incredibly reassuring and thoughtful. You could tell the dogs were comfortable, engaged, and genuinely enjoying their time with her. When they came back, they were perfectly tired in the best way—calm, happy, and clearly well-exercised. That alone speaks volumes about the quality of her walk and how well she managed their energy. It’s not easy trusting someone else with animals in your care, but Emilia made it effortless. I would absolutely use her again without hesitation and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable, attentive, and professional dog walker.

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.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
