“Sarah was wonderful with Suki! It was her first time with her, and Suki was nervous, but Sarah made her feel comfortable and on the second day she even gave Sarah kisses! Also love the fact that when she came for a meet and greet, she asked me if there was anything specific I needed her to do when she came by for a drop-in. She was very professional and on time! Highly recommend!”
“Janet did a great job checking in on my two pups.. never once did I have to worry about anything. She also made sure they got their meds and spent quality time with them. I will definitely be using her in the future. Thank you Janet”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs in my house my entire life. I’ve learned the best ways to take care of animals and love spending time and playing with them. I have experience will any range of animals from puppies to seniors, large and small. I currently make my own schedule and I have of time to care for the dogs and play with them one on one in order to make them feel loved and cared for. I have a fenced yard with room for any animal to roam around and go for swim if they would desire to. I treat every clients home I enter with the utmost respect and follow any instructions closely.
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.
About: I’ve had puppies and dogs and cats all my life and have my own two cats and German shepherd/husky and German shepherd/Malinois. I work in healthcare and enjoy caring for others as well as caring for animals and want to ensure that your pets can be cared for and be safe. I work 3 12s a week so I’m usually available four days a week all day. It’s on a monthly basis so I’m able to communicate my days off to arrange services ahead of time. I am a responsible and respectful person, someone who can be trusted to look over your pets with no worries. I’m from the area and just looking to fill my free time and days off with building client connections for their pet care needs.
“Bethany did a fabulous job taking care of my furbaby! Tons of great updates and pictures that were much appreciated!!! Would absolutely use Bethany again in the future and highly recommend her!”
About: I have been caring for dogs my entire life — it’s not just something I do, it’s who I am. I currently have two boys of my own: Basil, a French Bulldog, and Cashew, a Morkie. I also regularly care for a German Shepherd, a Chihuahua, and several other breeds, so I’m very comfortable with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. From puppies to seniors, I understand that every dog has its own personality and needs. Your pup will be loved, watched closely, and treated like one of my own. I work remotely, which gives me a flexible schedule that fits pet care naturally into my day. I’m available for dog walks in the evenings and for boarding or sitting on weekends. I also have availability during school breaks and holidays, so I’m a reliable option when you need coverage during those busy times. The safety of every pet in my care is my top priority. At my home, I have a dedicated fenced-off area just for dogs, so they have a secure space to move around freely. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I do a full walkthrough to make sure all doors, gates, and exits are secured before letting any pup roam. I stay hyper-aware and attentive at all times — your pet won’t just be watched, they’ll be genuinely looked after.
About: I have had a dog since i was 12 years old, the first dog i had was a chihuahua/miniature pinscher named Dinky. He was an older doggo but he was very active and could run super fast. A few years having Dinky I went to Mexico for a trip and came back with a 5 week old puppy named Ruby, she is a Small Griffon Basset Vendeen. I was able to potty train Ruby and still give attention to Dinky since he had gotten his teeth removed a bit before i got back, Dinky was a grumpy dog so at first he didn’t like Ruby but a few weeks later he got used to her and I trained her not to jump or push Dinky since he was a very small dog, he weighted just under 5 pounds and Ruby was 6 pounds almost 7. I have been my family’s pet sitter for about 4 years now and I feel very good knowing they have that trust with me and seeing how happy their pets react when they see me. All dogs have different personalities and I am always happy to adapt to it! I currently go to school twice a week so that gives me plenty of time for pet care! I am free any day to start pet sitting:) I try to spend time with them when they have energy and once they get tired I give them their space so that I don’t bother them. If the pet is at their home I let the pet smell me so they get comfortable and I try to stay in one spot or room so they have the option of going to another room when they want their own space and when they want attention or get comfortable enough then I try to make sure they have fun!
About: I have 14 years experience beginning with a puppy growing into a 14 year old senior. I understand the love for your dog is like a family member and I feel the same way! I currently work at a school so my schedule allows me to care for pets after school, evenings, and weekends. Holidays are available also with notice I have a smaller fenced back yard, a large park next door for walks and play time. I have a crate available if wanted/requested. Pet beds also available if wanted
About: I have always had a deep affection for animals, and caring for them has come naturally to me. My experience includes fostering a stray cat, successfully rehabilitating it, and providing a loving home for its better life. Additionally, my family has had five dogs and five cats over the years, which has given me extensive experience in animal care and reinforced my comfort and enjoyment in being around pets. I am skilled in various aspects of pet care, including bathing both dogs and cats. I thoroughly enjoy engaging with animals through playtime at the park and taking them on walks around the neighborhood. My hands-on experience and genuine love for animals make me confident in my ability to provide compassionate and attentive care. I have flexible availability and am open to accommodating the best times for walks, whether it's early in the morning to enjoy the cooler temperatures or later in the day. I am happy to adapt to what suits both the dog’s needs and your preferences. . When caring for pets in your home, I follow your household rules and keep open communication. I’m happy to provide updates and photos of your pet’s activities. Just give me clear instructions, and I'll ensure they receive the care you expect. :)

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.
