“Súper professional and accommodating. Needed a sitter last minute for Mother’s Day and Josh went above and beyond. Very good about communicating updates. Handled giving my dog Vida her pill. & just all around a kind and caring guy! Definitely will book with him again.”
“Brenna was great! She watched my two big dogs at my house and did an awesome job. I received lots of updates and photos, and she was very patient with my dogs who didn’t want to go outside to potty during the recent rainstorms. My home was just as clean and tidy as when i left! I would definitely have her dog and house sit again. Thanks, Brenna!”

About: New York transplant who just moved to the greater L.A. area. I, along with the rest of my roommates, am a young professional and have always had an immense love of dogs. I live in a new, dog-friendly building with my girlfriend and another dog-owing couple in which the majority of the other residents are other young professionals who own dogs as well. There is ample space spread out between the building courtyard and the surrounding block to take the animals out to walk and play. We have a dedicated cabinet in the kitchen for dog treats and items. I primarily work on the computer from home, so Rover is the perfect opportunity for me to work with some new friends in a wide-open open environment.
About: Hello! My name is Jada. I have an 11-year-old Shih Tzu that lives like a king! Though he is a couch potato, he enjoys walks, playing fetch, and going on car rides in his car seat! I’ve had pets my entire life and have experience caring for ones with special needs and diets. Any and all instructions you inform me of will be followed with the utmost care to keep your pet satisfied! I am currently a full-time college student, however, I have a full house. Therefore, my family and I collaborate and have a ton of time on our hands to care for and spend time with your pets! My dog is always indoors when not supervised and is afraid of the steps at all exits so no gates are needed, but I ensure that your dog will be supervised at all times when inside and out. Whatever instructions I am given will be followed to ensure that your pet's routine is maintained and they remain comfortable.
“Sandy was awesome. Her communication was quick and efficient when needing a last minute in house sitter. She asked for all information and wanted to keep the dogs on a routine. She sent cute photos and videos throughout our absence. I highly recommend her and will be using her in the future! ?”
“Anna was absolutely wonderful with our pets. She sent detailed updates and photos, and was very attentive to our dog. She noticed her paws were red and notified us immediately and took some extra steps to help with that. She also ensured our dog had her eyedrops regularly, and ensured there was lots of play time! Our dog seemed to really love spending time with her! Anna also left our apartment in great condition. Would absolutely book her again.”
“Jenny is very kind and always great with communication from start! She was prompt and arrived at our set time, Our two dogs, cooper and nokko, was in great care with Jenny! She sent us photo updates and made sure medication/food was fed, we came home to very happy pups and would love to have Jenny again with us in the future definately!!”
About: What sets me apart is my hands-on, daily experience raising and caring for my own dogs through every stage of their lives. Having managed everything from strict medication schedules to comforting aging pets, I am highly attentive to senior care and changing health needs. I know how to read canine body language, respect boundaries, and provide a low-stress, comforting environment. Your pup will get the exact same dedicated, intuitive care I give my own family. Pet care fits perfectly into my week because my school and part-time job hours are highly flexible. Even though my work shift schedule changes daily, my part-time hours mean I have an abundance of free time throughout the week. Because my days are mostly clear, I can easily adapt to and strictly follow your pet's specific feeding, walking, and care routines without any hassle. I provide pet care exclusively within the client’s home because I believe keeping pets in their own familiar environment is the best way to reduce separation anxiety. My approach is centered on strictly maintaining your pup's established daily routine. During my stay, I follow your exact feeding schedules, walk routes, and potty break intervals. I treat your home with the utmost respect—keeping everything secure, clean, and exactly as I found it. You will receive regular photo updates and transparent communication so you can have complete peace of mind while you are away.
“Cheyenna did such a great job caring for our home and our kitties while we were away! She gave great updates and sent pictures daily, and you can tell that she genuinely cares about taking great care of the pets in her charge! We will absolutely be using her again in the future!”
“Jami was so wonderful staying in our home taking care of our cat and dog! She was friendly and communicative, sending cute photos of the animals and updates regularly on how everyone was doing. She left our home in beautiful condition! I would highly recommend her :)”
About: Ive had my own cat for 4 years and ive loved every second of it! Ive also taken care of others cats and i love being able to tend to their needs especially knowing how different each cat is! My schedule is currently very flexible, so I have plenty of time to dedicate to pet care! I’m home most days and can be available throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, playtime, feeding, and giving your pets the attention they need! I’m very attentive when it comes to animals and always want them to feel safe and comfortable around me. I have an indoor cat of my own, so I’m used to keeping up with feeding, cleaning, playtime, and paying attention to an animal’s behavior and needs. In a client’s home, I’ll follow their instructions closely and respect both their pet’s routine and their space.
“Daylin was fantastic! I cannot say enough great things about her. It's always nerve racking getting a new Rover person to watch your dog and stay in your home. She updated me with pictures all the time. I came home and the house was spotless. She is very respectful and quick to respond. I had to extend my trip 1 day and she was able to accommodate. I think Gypsy found a new best friend. Daylin woke up with Gypsy on the bed next to her and she never goes on the bed...Haha! If I could I would use Daylin every time I had to go out of town.”
“Audrey was great! Very responsible and communicative the whole time watching my dog! It was great to have a peace of mind with her being proactive on communication and following the rules of how to care for my dog. 10/10 and will be using her again!”
“Brianna took such good care of my three dogs while I was away. She also took care of the house and kept me updated during my trip. Thank you Brianna for doing such a great job! I would definitely book with Brianna again.”
“Yulia was so incredible with our very shy Aussie. She sent lots of pics and updates and we could see our dog was relaxed and happy. She is very professional and I would definitely recommend her to anyone. I will use her again without a doubt.”

We were a bit nervous about leaving our baby with someone new, especially while staying in our home, but Deanna was absolutely perfect! She look such excellent care of Pearl and our home was exactly as we left it. Pearl had a great time and we were able to relax and enjoy our vacation. We will definitely book Deanna again without hesitation!
Cory is the absolute sweetest. I had Cory watch my senior dog in my home for a few days, and I felt so great knowing my old girl could be looked after in a place she was familiar with. Cory sent me lots of updates and my pup looked so happy to be snuggled up while we were away!
Dennis is an excellent dog sitter! He is friendly, polite, welcoming... Just the kind of energy that makes your furry loved one have a great experience with him. He also is a good communicater with texts and pics of the visit...putting your mind at ease while you are out. If you are in the DTLA or surrounding area... Would recommend Dennis!

Megan is absolutely wonderful! My timid cat was instantly smitten with her. He usually hides. It's truly heartwarming to see them bond so quickly. She has such a special way with animals, creating a safe and loving environment. I highly recommend her services to any pet parent.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Vernon walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Vernon maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Vernon choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
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 .
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
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 Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
