“If possible I will use Allen again! This is the first time I've left my dogs with a stranger and it was a great experience for them and me. Allen sent videos and pictures every day. We were gone for a week and when we returned he'd washed the sheets and vacuumed the house. It was a joy to return home!”
“Elaine is the best! This is the first time we went on an international trip and left our coopie alone for so long. Her updates were phenomenal and put us at ease knowing our dog was in good hands. She is the best dog sitter ever!!!”

About: My dogs are my life, and I want to ensure your dogs are well taken care of while you’re away. I have experience taking care of multiple dogs, from puppies to senior dogs, and dogs with timely medications. I had my first dog at 9 years old for 15 amazing years. My second dog, I’ve had since she was a puppy and has crossed the rainbow at 16 years old. She was also on specific timed medication for the last 3 years. I also take care of my brothers 2 dogs. I am currently unemployed, and I’ve been working on freelance work projects from home. I have plenty of time to care for dog and I am flexible with time. I have a fenced backyard your dog can spend time in. I also have a small fenced area in my home they can stay in comfortably, and separately from the other dogs. All preferences can be catered to your pet such as if you want your dogs away from other pets or if you would like them outdoors more that inside, etc.
About: I have grown up with pets and have enjoyed learning and experiencing different personalities. With my hands-on experience your furry friend is in capable and caring hands. I specialize in small to medium-sized dogs, but my recent experience with larger breeds has expanded my horizons, though I'm quite selective and open to it only if they're exceptionally well-behaved. My approach to pet sitting is all about creating a comfortable space for your pet to ensure they feel safe and cared for even when you're not at home with them. I understand that every pet is unique and requires individualized attention, which is why I tailor my care to suit their needs and why I only accept 1 client household at a time. I try to accommodate your pet's schedule so that they don't have to experience too much change at once. This includes sticking to exercise regimens, feeding schedules, potty breaks and bedtimes. I work remotely full-time which means I have flexibility in my schedule. Additionally, I try to maintain an active lifestyle which includes running and hiking. When onboarding a new client, I make sure that I understand the pet's schedule and preferences. Additionally, I make sure to understand any boundaries the pet should adhere in the client's home including yard space or even areas in the house. I do a walkthrough with the client so I know what areas may pose a safety concern such as gates and fences. I try to understand the pet's behavior in different scenarios such as when the door bell rings or if a neighborhood dog approaches during walks. I also make sure I have emergency numbers and the location of the closest animal hospital. For client's ease of mind , I provide pictures and updates as needed on the pet.
About: I've taken care of animals my entire life. I've helped birth and raise puppies and kittens, I've fostered dozens of cats and dogs, including those who are still not weaned or have disabilities that require specialty care. I also have experience with exotic pets. I am currently in school to become a veterinarian. I am currently taking online classes, so I am able to work long hours with no worries about scheduling interference. I currently do not have another job. I have experience with pets of all sizes, needs, and temperaments. I am comfortable with applying medication, walking, and any other needs that may come up.

“We couldn't have asked for a better sitter than Jasmine! She watched our dog and our home for a full six days, and she was absolute perfection. From day one, she was so gentle and wonderful with our 3 yr old corgi, he loved her right away. Jasmine is incredibly thorough, sending detailed updates with photos at every single mealtime and walk, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. When we came back, not only was our dog happy and well cared for, but our house was left in pristine condition. She is super responsible, and we would trust her to watch and walk our dog anytime. In fact, she was so fantastic that we've already had neighbors asking for her referral! She is local to the Redondo Beach area, and I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for top-notch, reliable pet care. Her photos skills are also great. I posted many pictures she sent of our dog Theo to his Instagram and his fans love them!”


About: I’ve spent over a decade in hospitality and operations, running shifts at places like Starbucks I’m used to juggling a hundred things at once while staying calm, warm, and on schedule. Turns out that’s great training for dog care too: reading personalities fast, sticking to routines, and making sure everyone (two legs or four) feels comfortable in a new environment. I’ve got a dog of my own, so I know the drill: the 6am zoomies, the separation anxiety whining, the food that “definitely doesn’t cause gas.” Whether your pup is a couch potato, a chaos gremlin, or somewhere in between, I’ll treat them like they’re already part of the household. Ten-plus years in hospitality means I’m used to following exact protocols and communicating clearly, and I apply that same discipline to pet care. Safety and consistency come first, in my home or yours. I keep a calm, predictable environment because cats do best with routine, so I stick to feeding times, litter maintenance, and any specific instructions you give me exactly as written, no improvising.

“Jessica did an amazing job caring for our dogs! She was very communicative and sent a ton of pictures. She also took our dog to the groomer which was great. We would definitely hire her again!”


“Brooke was amazing from the first time she entered my house to meet my dog Lily. Lily took a liking to her right away which is not normal for my little girl. Brooke provided feedback on to how the stay was progressing and sent pictures with updates. Brooke just seemed so natural with my animals and she was beyond professional , arriving on time , asking appropriate questions and leaving my house very clean. I will definitely be booking Brooke again!”

“Victoria was extremely attentive, communicative and wonderful. She left my house neat and tidy and took incredible care of my dog. I truly could not recommend her more.”

“I love how Julianna paid attention to detail. She wanted to make sure that she knew our little guys: from treats and routine down to the way they like to play ball. I never worried a minute while I was out of town because she had everything under control. It was such a comfort knowing that our guys didn’t have to go stay somewhere else, but could stay in their own routine at home. Julianna is very friendly, trustworthy and dependable.”

“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.”

“Andrew was great! He stayed with our Violet overnight and kept her fed and walked. She is typically a nervous pup so I was worried about leaving her with someone, but she seemed happy and content when we returned. Our internet went out the whole time Andrew was here, and he was very easygoing about it. We would definitely have him back!”

“Dawson did an amazing job of caring for Steel in my home. I will for sure use them again while out of town. Very happy to be able to leave him at home where he is comfortable and know he is well cared for.”

“Great sitter! Jackson was so communicative, and he was a pleasure to have taking care of my fur babies. Professional and attentive, I'm grateful for the help. My animals loved him, thank you so much, highly recommend!”

Natalie was amazing anyone looking should book her as soon as possible! She was on time, communicative, polite, and left the house in great condition. My nervous quirky dog loved her right away and she was very responsive to his needs. Will definitely book again!

This is the second time Kristina has stayed with my babies and this time I was gone for about 2.5 weeks. It felt so good knowing they were safe at home and I didn’t have to worry that they were being taken care of well. She sent daily updates and pictures. When I got home my girls were happy and healthy. Kristina is a great choice!

Cassandra was incredible! We truly feel so blessed and lucky that we were able to find her. We were gone for 7 days and did not worry about our dog for a single second! She sent consistent update photos of him being goofy or taking him on beautiful nature walks. She genuinely has a lot of love for pets, and you can see it through the amount of care and love she pours into them. She literally built such a strong bond with our dog that he was looking for her after we came back home!! She is exactly what we have been looking for but have never been able to find! This will 100% not be the last time we work with Cassandra. Truly went above and beyond, I can’t recommend her enough!

Scarlett was fantastic. Showed up on time and took care of both of our dogs over our wedding weekend. She used to be a vet tech, so very knowledgeable about dogs, and did amazing with both dogs. We have a blue Heeler and a golden doodle, so very different dogs. Super respectful of our place, would for sure hire her again.

Allen was excellent! From the time we met at the initial meet & greet, he went out of his way to connect with my fur baby. He plopped down on the floor w/her, let her sniff him, and immediately showed her love and attention. During the visit, he sent pictures and kept me updated on a regular basis. When I returned home, my dog was happy, well cared for, and my house was spotless! I would recommend him 100% if you need a dog and house sitter!!

Ji Hae took care of my dog while i was out of town and she did a wonderful job! My dog had a nice little staycation at home with extra walks and playtime. Always kept me updated with photos and what they were up to. Looks like they both had a good weekend. Thank you again!!

Hannah took exceptional care of our dogs once again. All of our dogs require medication, which she handles with ease. Additionally, she cooked special food for our dog when he had an upset stomach. She also took out our garbages and brought in packages for us. Highly recommend!

Absolutely amazing experience with Velvet! She took such great care of my two dogs and treated them like her own. I could tell they were happy, comfortable, and well looked after the entire time. Velvet was reliable, attentive, and kept me updated, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. My dogs absolutely loved her, and I truly appreciated how caring and responsible she was. I would 100% book with Velvet again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and loving to care for their pets!

Taylor did an amazing job and I will 100% be bringing her back to babysit my cat Bella. She responds quickly, sent photos every day, kept my apartment clean, took out the trash, and even kept my little plant alive! It’s obvious she is a pet lover and had a great relationship and was so caring for my little kitty. She really brought me so much peace of mind while I was out of town!!

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 West Carson 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 West Carson 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 West Carson 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!

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 .
