About: Hello everyone! My name is Lily, a professional pet groomer and pet trainer with a deep love for animals. I have 15 years of experience in pet grooming. To have more flexible hours and take care of my 9-year-old daughter, I’ve chosen to work as a pet sitter. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and cats—feeding them, grooming their fur, cleaning their sleeping pads, and even just hugging them brings me so much happiness. For almost two years, I’ve been volunteering with the World Animal Foundation. On weekends, I dedicate time to helping at the rescue center by cleaning the cattery, caring for pets, or assisting adopters during open adoption days. I would be honored to take care of your beloved dogs and cats. You can trust that my passion for animals and professional expertise make me well-suited for this role. I have a 9-year-old daughter who is in the fourth grade of elementary school. Currently, except for picking her up and dropping her off at school from Monday to Friday, I am at home almost all day, so I can take good care of the boarding pets and take the dog out for a walk at the agreed time. I have a regular schedule and I have a 4b3b house that can accommodate boarding pets. My house has a spacious and clean backyard with a closed fence to ensure the safety of cats and dogs to the greatest extent. In addition, there are clean sleeping mats, nutritious and healthy food and purified water for all pets. In addition, I can pick up and drop off pets at home for a fee.
“Yu was a great dog sitter! His dogs got along well with my dog, he did walks around the neighborhood, and he took great pictures to show me throughout the day how my dog was doing so I can check in and feel assured that he was doing ok and happy. There was even a picture where my dog was happy playing in the grass under the sun in his backyard with his dogs with a smile on his face so I was really satisfied with his services. I will definitely book again. THANK YOU YU for taking great care of my son!”
“Alan was well taken care of. Annette sent pictures and was always available for any questions leading up to and during the stay. Alan can be very hyper and she handled him well. Would definitely recommend Annette and I would use her again.”

Caihua’s home is always incredibly clean, and she is extremely attentive and caring. She sends lots of videos and updates, which is truly reassuring for anxious pet parents. Every time Mario hears he’s going to her house, he gets so excited and can hardly wait. You can tell from your dog’s reaction that you made the right choice! Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of Mario every single time.
Exceeded my expectations. Great with communication. Great vibes from the minute we walked to the door. Xiaoting and her daughter were amazing. Loved all the pics and updates throughout the day. Myka was a happy pup…. Such a great day for her. Will definitely be returning soon! Thank you again!!!!
n’t say enough great things about Joely. She takes care of my dogs as if they were her own with so much love, patience, and attention to detail. I trust her completely, which says a lot because I’m very particular about who looks after my pups. Every time she watches them, I come home to happy, that peace of mind is priceless. She goes above and beyond every single time. The enrichment activities are so great and she is truly one of a kind — I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my dogs!

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 Walnut 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 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 .
