“Daylin is punctual, communicative, and does an amazing job taking care of our dog Boba! (Boba can be a little apprehensive, and Daylin was very patient and sweet towards her.) She also constantly updated us on Boba's well-being. We highly recommend Daylin for your pet sitting needs!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life from my own pups to my friends! I have experience with big and small dogs of all different breeds and am happy to help. I work Monday through Friday from 9-5 so I can help in the early mornings, evenings, weekends, and holidays for drop-ins or walks. If close by, I can also help with last minute needs. I have experience with runners so I’m very careful to ensure your pets won’t get out without their leash and my supervision. They are in safe hands to be cared for and come home safely!
About: Hi everyone my name is Angie and I may be new to Rover but I am not new to loving and caring for precious pups. I currently don't have any dogs living with me but prior to July 2025 I had my own fur babies since 1992. I decided this would be a wonderful way for me to get some puppy love, bring peace of mind to traveling pet parents, and make some money while providing a loving service. I have taken care of many of my friends pups along the way. Saki, Sophie, Sushi, Bodhi, Lucy, and Honey. I also occasionally foster dogs to help my friend's rescue. I would love to meet and care for your babies. My home is a safe and loving space for pups to play and have their "stay-cation"!! I work from home and will be available to be with the pet pretty much all day. Consistent time outdoors will be provided weather permitting. I have a fenced yard with plenty of room to play or grab that nice patch of sunshine to nap in. I maintain a clean and calm environment.
About: I have had many dogs and I am an animal lover. I currently have one dog who is very friendly. I volunteered at the local animal shelter for a while and took dog walking classes. My daughter is studied animal science in college. I learn from her as well. I’m responsible and loving to all animals. My dogs have been very well cared for. I care for animals as if they are children and I am passionate about animal welfare. I am home all day so I have time to look after the animals. My house is very dog friendly and full of love. My yard is fully fenced and clean and full of dog toys. You will be very happy with my services and your dog will too! Hope to be a regular part of your dogs life. I look forward to the opportunity to serve you and your dogs needs. Also I want to add that I’m close to the airport so if you’re traveling from LAX I’m right on the way! It would be a great convenience! Please no dogs over 65lbs. I may occasionally go out for lunch or to get food. I spend lots of time playing and engaging with the pets here. Play time is supervised. Please set your drop off and pick up times within a one hour time frame. Be on time for drop offs and pick ups. Dogs should have a collar or harness on. Play time in my large backyard with music and toys. We do bubbles, water play for the select few who like water and lots of fetch for good exercise. I provide great pictures that can be cherished for years to come. My backyard is fully fenced.

About: I've taken dog grooming classes. I know how to bathe dogs and trim their nails. I've worked at a dog day care before. There, I helped watch dogs of all sizes and ages and bathe them as needed. I'm currently working part-time, so I have some free time throughout the week to pet-sit, walk, and drop in. I currently cannot board due to my apartment not allowing pets at the moment. I follow what I believe is the best protocol when dealing with animals.

About: I have been in love with animals since I was in preschool. I adore all forms of animals. From fish to the biggest whale in the ocean. I am fascinated and in awe of the beauty and grace of all creatures of this earth. I am in love with their ability to just live life in the present moment. And be part of a bigger cycle of life. I have always had a form of pet in my home, I enjoy there presence and company. I have been walking and taking care of pets since I was 12. I would never be paid for it because I genuinely enjoy to take care of any animal and/or pet. I have been walking my neighbors and close friends dogs for around 2 years now. Also taking care of new born kittens when abandoned in my back yard. I have also rescued a few stray kittens on the street. I showered them and removed most fleas and ticks that were infesting their bodies. Afterwards I would take them to my local rescue shelter. Afterwards while my neighbors would go out of town. I would have the honor to visit them, check on them, feed, groom, play, and walk with them. And I loved every second of it ! I am currently a part time student, and babysit a few times a week. However after 4pm I’m almost always free and have a bit of free time on my hands! I love pets, and walking/ caring for them is something I would love while also being payed. I am also usually available mornings on the weekends I care for animals by providing kindness, attention, and the basic needs for a pet to strive and be in complete happiness. Such as; sufficient water, good amounts of sunlight, play time, petting, and a good walking session for happiness and health.
“Indra was very communicative and took such great care of my pups during her drop in visit. She is reliable and my pups loved her. It’s nice knowing I have someone I can trust near by. Thanks so much Indra! 🐾✨”
About: Hi my name is Asia & all my life, I have been a passionate animal lover! I have had the privilege of taking care of dogs for over 18 years; from newborn puppies to senior dogs, even service animals and anxious/reactive dogs as well. I grew up around bigger breeds such as pit bulls and huskies, but as I got older, I began to be around smaller canines, such as, chihuahuas and french bull dogs, so I have plenty of experience caring for various breeds. I also have experience working closely with vet techs and I know firsthand what it’s like managing the care of sick dogs. Responsibilities such as feeding, administering and/or applying medication are not a problem for me. Spending time with animals has always been truly rewarding and also therapeutic for me. I am a certified (mobile) Massage Therapist; meaning that I am gentle, trustworthy and respectful— not to mention, I already have experience providing in-home services. I sincerely understand how sacred someone’s home is to them, so I am very mindful and considerate in regard to my cleanliness and of course, respectful of all boundaries. My passion for animals paired with my entrepreneurial integrity makes it easy to provide reliable, loving care for your precious fur baby —guaranteed :) I’m currently working part-time, so I have a lot of open availability. I also don’t have a set schedule so as long as I’m given enough notice in advance (at least 24 hours), I should be able to make arrangements for you and your pet(s). As of right now I usually work Fridays and Saturdays, but not consistently, so feel free to contact me directly if you need my services on one of those days. I don’t mind overnight stays (as long as it’s not back to back days because I have a dog of my own I have to take care of :) but if my services are needed for multiple days back to back and the client doesn’t mind me bringing my dog to their home then I may consider it. Situations vary depending on possible health risks for all pets, as well as the pet’s interaction with each other), and I am currently open on weekdays after 11am and Sundays any time. I take care of pets responsibly, while also treating them like cherished family members, with genuine love and appreciation. Whether it’s my own or someone else’s pet, I always ensure that they are safe, comfortable, and well-cared for when they’re with me. I follow feeding schedules precisely, I make sure to provide clean water, and I make time to play and exercise with them because I enjoy being active myself. I’m attentive to signs of stress or illness and I immediately take action if something seems off. Safety is a top priority for me— I pet-proof the environment by keeping harmful substances out of reach, using gates throughout my home to create partitions and I make sure to use secure leashes when going on walks. I never leave pets unattended in unsafe areas and I make sure to follow any instructions from pet owners closely; including medication, dietary needs, and behavioral preferences. I create a trustworthy environment by being consistent, patient, and calm, helping pets feel safe and comfortable. I build rapport through gentle handling, positive reinforcement, and respecting their boundaries; ensuring that they feel safe, happy, and endeared while in my care.
About: I was a dog owner for 15 years; she passed away about 3 years ago. Her beds are so big and comfy I didn't want to throw them away. I had proclaimed this to be a forever dog home! Since then, I began dog sitting for friends from my church. I knew if a dog came over, I would want it to be comfortable. I enjoy learning each dog's personality and needs because all dogs are different. My friend's dog doesn't like to be pet but loves to sit next to me. I learned that different dogs have different needs and wants. I enjoy spending quality time with dogs through walks, companionship, and learning each dog's unique personality and needs. Some dogs love affection while others prefer quiet company, and I respect and adjust to what makes each dog most comfortable. Dog sitting allows me to provide attentive, loving care while giving dogs a calm and supportive environment. I am working but I make my own schedule. I would take care of your baby just like my own, We would go for a walk at least twice a day. Ill feed once or twice a day, depending on instructions. My mom {Frances} lives right next door, and she is my emergency contact. She loves dogs too. She is a great help if I need to step out for a minute. I do enjoy seeing the dog happy and comfortable, the rest of the day will consist of making that happen. Your pet will get a one on one experience. I will care your pet just like I would do my own. Again, a home away from home. When I wake up in the morning the first thing I do is take my fur buddy outside. Next is breakfast and play time if it's preferred. I look for direction from the owner on specific things to know and look for to make my fur buddy comfortable. Safety is #1. Every decision is made with safety first in mind. Second is satisfaction for the pet and the owner.
“Natalia did amazing with my dogs! They are very anxious and loud but she handled them with so much care and kept me updated with pictures the whole time!! I definitely recommend her!!”
About: I have 3 dogs and 2 cats of my own, each one of them are rescues and required a lot of time and patience. I’m experienced in dog trading as well as administering medication. It helps me stay active as well as helps gain more experience with animals. I work from home so it helps me get my daily vitamin d . I’ve personally crate trained my dogs, it’s helped me monitor them while I’m not home. I like to take them on long walks and have play dates to get their energy out as well as stimulate their mind.
About: I've been a dog person for as long as I can remember. I used to bring in stray dogs and hide them and sleep with them in the laundry room so my parents wouldn't find out. They always did lol and then we'd work on finding them homes. I've been fostering and rescuing dogs for over 30 years. I also have dealt with special needs, medical needs (i.e. diabetic, blind, deaf), and "hospice" senior pups as well as taking in litters of puppies and getting them ready for their new forever homes. Dog first aid and CPR certified. I have volunteered for spay/neuter clinics and vaccination clinics as well. I bring my dogs to work with me daily in the morning after breakfast. It's a short commute to work and we spend the work day here. There is a large area for them to run around, potty pads available all the time, and also there is a park down the street for walkies and breaks! I do have a diabetic pup so we have pretty structured meal times twice a day and I make all their meals and treats to make sure they are low fat and they get all the nutrients they need. Before and after work my older pups and I spend time at home lounging on the bed or the couch, while their younger puppy sister plays fetch or destroys toys. We prefer to go out on a morning walk during the summer to avoid the heat. I have 3 friendly dogs, if for some reason they don't get along, I can also separate them with baby gates and barriers. I can easily crate your dog as well, if requested. They also have access to a potty pad at all times at the house or to a small patch of grass on the balcony. There is access to an undated little courtyard in front of the house as well that they can use on a leash for potty time.
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - West Athens
Aileen did a tremendous job coming over twice a day to visit and walk my dog Franklin. It was his first time staying “home alone” and she helped make it a complete success. Pictures from each visit were a comfort as I could see how happy he was with her. Thanks so much for
Citlalli was absolutely amazing! I accidentally booked my two drop-in visits for the wrong day, but she was so flexible, understanding, and generous about it. She took such great care of my dog and sent me the cutest pictures and he looked so happy and comfortable! 🥹 I really appreciated how kind and accommodating she was. I would definitely book with Citlalli again and highly recommend her! ❤️
Matt was amazing! He took great care of Chloe after we reached out with a last-minute request for a drop-in visit. He was quick to respond, reliable, and made the whole process so easy. We loved receiving picture updates, which gave us so much peace of mind knowing Chloe was happy and well cared for. We’re so grateful for his help and will definitely be using Matt again for any future dog sitting or drop-in services. Highly recommend!
So sweet and wonderful to work with! She communicated clearly the whole time, my dogs absolutely loved her, and she took great care of my home while I was away. I felt totally at ease knowing everything was in good hands. Highly recommend and would totally book again.

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.
