“Michael is my go-to dog sitter. He is a wonderful caretaker. He sends pictures and videos with his regular updates. My dog gets so excited whenever he sees Michael. It is such an assurance to know that our sweet boy is getting so much love and such great care while we are away. I HIGHLY recommend Michael. I'm sure that you will be as happy with him as we have been.”

“Shante was amazing!! I had to book her last minute due to flight issues with my trip and she was willing to not only accommodate to my 4:30 AM drop off time, but also sent me pictures and videos the same day to give me some peace of mind during my trip. She fully adhered to the feeding schedule I gave and was very communicative about everything! My pup came back to me with no issues and a happy girl! Thanks so much Shante!! Book with her”

About: What sets me apart is that I’m a pet owner myself and understand how much our pets mean to us. I have two dogs of my own, so I know firsthand that pets are family and deserve to feel safe, loved, and comfortable when their owners are away. I have experience caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. I’m comfortable with everything from energetic playtime and walks to giving senior dogs extra patience, attention, and care. I’m also happy to follow feeding schedules, potty routines, medication instructions, and any special instructions your pet may need. I’m dependable, patient, attentive, and genuinely love spending time with animals. My goal is to care for your pets the same way I would want someone to care for mine—with lots of love, attention, and plenty of belly rubs! 🐾❤️ My Pet-Sitting Availability 🐾 I work full-time but live close to work, which allows me to come home during my lunch break to check on your pets and spend quality time with them. * Monday–Friday: Available for pet care in the mornings before work, during my lunch break, and in the evenings after work. * Overnight Care: Available any night of the week! * Saturday–Sunday: Available for boarding and extended pet care. I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine and provide plenty of love, attention, playtime, walks, and companionship while you’re away. I want you to feel confident knowing your fur babies are in loving, caring hands! I’m very detail-oriented and take pride in keeping a clean, safe, and comfortable environment. I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I have two dogs of my own, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family members. I’ll follow your instructions closely, keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible, and make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, and supervision.

She even sent a video so we met the other 3 dogs there the first evening and photos during those days he stayed. Thank you, Crystal! See you soon.”

“Keith was absolutely wonderful with Geni. She came home so calm and happy from playing with her new friends. He was amazing and made me feel completely at ease with leaving Geni with someone for the first time ever. She’s a bigger breed and still a pup so she can be a handful and Keith handled her great. I will definitely be using Keith again for future needs!”

About: I have hands-on experience caring for a variety of dogs through my previous work assisting a sitter on Rover. During that time, I helped with daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, and making sure each dog felt safe and comfortable in their environment. I worked with different breeds, sizes, and personalities, which taught me how to adjust my care to meet each animal's unique needs. I understand how important consistency, patience, and attention are when it comes to animals. Whether it's an energetic pup that needs extra playtime or a more relaxed dog that just wants companionship, I make sure they receive the care and affection they deserve. I'm also comfortable following specific instructions, including feeding schedules, medication, and any special care requests. My goal is always to create a calm, loving, and trustworthy environment so pets feel secure while their owners are away. I treat every animal as if they were my own and prioritize their happiness, safety, and well-being at all times. As a college student with a very flexible schedule, I'm able to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care throughout the day. My availability allows me to accommodate walks, drop-ins, and extended stays without feeling rushed. Because of this flexibility, I can adjust to your pet's routine and make sure they get consistent care, attention, and companionship whenever they need it. 1 understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet and your home, and I take that responsibility very seriously. I always prioritize safety by staying attentive, following instructions carefully, and making sure pets are secure and comfortable in their environment. You can count on me to provide dependable, respectful care while giving your pet the love and attention they deserve.

“Olivia was great. I liked her immediately when we met. My previous sitter wasn’t available so I had to find someone fast to sit with my senior dog, Jake. She communicated well with me before his stay and she kept me informed of how he was doing on his short visit with her. He was happy and doing well when I picked him up. I will be booking with her again.”

“I had such a great experience leaving my pup Todo with her! She kept me updated the entire time with lots of pictures — she captured the best moments, and the photos she sent were literally perfect . Todo got along really well with the other dogs that were there, and I could tell he was comfortable and happy the whole time. As a very protective dog mom, I truly felt at ease leaving my son with her. She made both me and Todo feel so welcomed, and I’m really grateful for how caring and attentive she was. I would 100% book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their pet.”

About: I grew up with a Yorkie and now care for him in his senior years with doggy dementia, which has taught me the importance of patience, gentle routines, and creating a calm, comforting environment. Monday, Wednesdays, and Fridays I get out of class for 11 and am free for the rest of the day. Tuesdays and Thursdays are a little tougher for me due to my classes being scattered throughout the day. I enjoy taking them on walks, giving them baths, playing with them, cuddling with them, feeding and taking them out, and just having an emotional support animal around me!

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has always been a natural part of my life. Growing up with pets taught me responsibility, patience, and the joy that comes from truly understanding an animal’s needs. As an adult, I’ve continued that commitment through responsible pet ownership, giving my own pets a loving, structured, and enriching home. My foundation in animal care goes even deeper thanks to my years in 4‑H, where I gained hands‑on experience in dog husbandry. From training and grooming to understanding canine behavior and proper health routines, 4‑H gave me practical skills that I still use every day. It shaped the way I approach pet care—with intention, respect, and a focus on safety and well‑being. Whether it’s daily walks, structured play, or simply offering a calm, comforting presence, I bring a lifetime of experience and genuine love for animals to every pet I care for. Your dog isn’t just another booking to me—they’re a member of the family, and I treat them with the same attention and affection I give my own. Working from home allows me to build pet care into the rhythm of my day in a way that feels effortless and intentional. Mornings start with a quick check‑in, fresh water, and a walk to get everyone moving. Throughout the workday, I’m able to offer consistent companionship — whether that’s a midday potty break, a play session between meetings, or simply being a calm presence while I work. I can keep an eye on their behavior, maintain feeding schedules, and respond quickly to their needs. Afternoon breaks often turn into enrichment time: a walk, a puzzle toy, or a little training practice to keep their minds engaged. Even as I wrap up my workday, pets stay part of the flow — evening walks, dinner routines, and plenty of attention. Working from home means your pet gets steady care, structure, and affection woven naturally into my day, not squeezed in around it. I have a fenced yard and 2 friendly dogs (74 lb. silver lab + 35 lb. terrier mix). My goal is to keep your pets routine consistent while providing a clean, safe and calm environment. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal rhythm. I follow your feeding, walking, and medication schedules exactly as you outline, and I make sure they get the same level of attention and affection they’re used to. I also keep your home tidy, respect your space, and provide updates so you always know how your pet is doing.

About: Hi! I’m Haley, a lifelong dog lover who believes every pup deserves patience, attention, and lots of love. I grew up with my sweet Shih Tzu Bella and recently rescued a 5 year old rat terrior, Biscuit. I am very familiar with the joy, energy, and companionship dogs bring into our lives! I have years of experience loving and caring for dogs as part of my everyday life. I am dependable, gentle, and excited to provide your furry friend with walks, playtime, cuddles, and the care they deserve while you are away. I'm available for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting. I am more than happy to work with your schedule and provide dependable care whenever you need it most! Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my TOP priorities. I believe pets deserve to feel loved and secure while their humans are away, so l treat every animal with the same patience, attention, and care I would want for my own. Whether I'm caring for your pet in your home or stopping by for visits, lil take the time to understand their routine, personality, and unique needs. I'll provide a calm, safe environment filled with plenty of affection, playtime, potty breaks, walks, and companionship. I know leaving your furry family member with someone new can feel stressful, so my goal is to give you peace of mind through reliable communication, thoughtful updates, and genuine care every step of the way. Requested information about your pet Before caring for your pet, l'a love to know all the little details that make them unique! Their daily routine, personality, favorite activities, comfort items, feeding schedule, medication needs (if applicable), and any quirks or preferences are all important to me. I would also love to know how they interact with new people, other pets, and their environment so I can help them feel safe and comfortable. Every pet has their own personality, and my goal is to provide care that feels familiar, consistent, and tailored specifically to them. I’m available after school hours and on weekends. As a teacher, my schedule is consistent, allowing me to provide reliable care before and after work, on weekends, holidays, and school breaks. I make time to give each pet the attention, exercise, and affection they deserve. In your home, I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medications if needed, and lots of love and attention.

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.

Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.

Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.

During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Welcome home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:

  • Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
  • Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
  • Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Welcome.

Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.

You and your Welcome sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.

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.

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 LA 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.

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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
