“Tyler took wonderful care of our three dogs. They absolutely love her. She listened to our instructions and made us feel confident that our dogs were safe and well taken care of. I would highly recommend her to anyone!”
“Macie was a blessing! She was able to watch our pup last minute and we could tell he was well taken care of and loved while we were gone. We received updates and photos which warmed our hearts, making it a little bit easier to be away. Highly recommend booking with Macie :)”
About: I’ver cared for animals for years and genuinely enjoy earning their trust. I’ve owned and cared for cats, hamsters, guinea pigs, and rabbits. I have dog sat for a month. This fits to my schedule because I have any other day Monday and Wednesday due to classes, but even so I can work after class too! I’ve always treated my cat like family, and I know how important it is to trust someone with a pet you love so deeply. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely enjoy making cats feel safe, comfortable, and cared for.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole and have house sat for friends, neighbors, and family. They trust me to walk, feed, and care for their pets with love and reliability! I just moved to a new town and actively looking for a new job. I love animals and feel this would be a great fit for me in the meantime! I would prioritize your dog’s safety on every walk-always using secure leashes, staying in pet-friendly areas, and keeping full attention on your dogs needs!
“Joliana was so wonderful with our cat, Siri! We are always a little nervous to leave our elderly girl who has some light separation anxiety, and needs daily medication, but Joliana did great! She sent photos daily and assured us that Siri was relaxing and had no problem taking her medication. Joli also left our home in great condition. We would definitely hire her again in the future.”
About: I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and overnight house sitting, with care tailored to each pet’s routine and needs. I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs and have always loved caring for them. My family has had many rescue pups over the years, giving me experience with different breeds, sizes, personalities, and energy levels—from Shih Tzus to German Shepherds and Rottweilers. I’ve also become the go-to person for family, friends, and neighbors when they need someone they trust to care for their dogs. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and following each dog’s routine while their owners are away. I truly enjoy getting to know each dog and creating a positive experience that makes them feel cared for. I work part-time remotely from home in the mornings, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I’m able to provide walks, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day, making pet care a natural part of my routine. My availability allows me to be present and dependable while your pet is in my care. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home, I’ll provide a calm and caring environment while following your instructions, routines, and any special needs. Pets will never be left unattended and will always have access to fresh water. I’ll also share regular updates and photos so you can stay connected and feel confident knowing your furry family member is being cared for while you’re away.
“Anthony was so patient with our boy. He tried everything to get him to take his meds, walked him and hung out with him, establishing trust. We were very nervous about having a new sitter. And 13 dog doesn’t adapt well. But Tony did a great job.”
About: I’ve been around dogs for as long as I can remember and have had dogs in my life since I was 5 years old. I’ve cared for everything from energetic puppies to senior dogs, and I genuinely love spending time with them. Over the years, I’ve owned multiple dogs and have experience caring for up to 4 dogs at once. Whether it’s going for walks, playtime, feeding, or making sure each dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved, I treat every dog as if they were my own. I currently work from home, so if your dog is staying with me, I’ll be home throughout the day to provide plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship. If you’re booking dog walking or drop-in visits, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to stop by reliably and ensure your pet receives the care they need. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in a quiet cul-de-sac in a townhome with a fully fenced private patio. My home is equipped with exterior security cameras, as well as an indoor camera that overlooks the main living area for added peace of mind. I enjoy taking dogs on walks through my quiet neighborhood, and there’s also a large fenced park nearby for exercise and play. If your dog is crate-trained, I’m happy to accommodate that routine, and I also have a spare room available if they would benefit from having their own quiet space to relax.
“Devanna was so good with our wild Weim and also took such good care of our other animals as well! She left our home spotless as well and our pup seemed very happy (and tired) when we returned from our trip. Thank you Dev for such a great first overnight visit with Biggie! We’ll definitely see you again soon 🥰”
About: I have taken care of pets and been around pets since I was a child. I mainly specialize in cats but I have experience with medium and little sized dogs too. I have had my own 2 kitties for about 8 years. I am a gig worker and I love having flexibility. It is great for being able to drop in and play with your animals or feed them. With my knack for attention to detail I can easily pay mind to any specific instructions I may need to follow. I give my pets love, patience and understanding and would treat your animals with the same respect I give my own.
“Zoey was amazing! Great communication, and is kind and perfectly on time. My boys both loved her - she even kindly dealt with my “energetic” dog, and was fast to message with any questions. She kept me updated on all things and my house is in perfect condition. Will definitely be booking with Zoey again!”
“Olivia was friendly, attentive, and patient with our dog! She was easy to coordinate with and really helped us out on short notice. We got consistent updates and she left the house in great shape. I highly recommend her and am grateful she was able to take care of our boy.”
“Veronica was so sweet, communicative and sent SO MANY photos of my dog which i really appreciate! I highly recommend her for anyone looking for a fun, communicative and overall wonderful sitter!”
“Alex took excellent care of our pets and home for 11 nights. She had to deal with extreme weather and several unexpected events which she handled with calm and good judgment. We would definitely ask her to care for our household again.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - West Covina
Tyler is an ABSOLUTE ROCKSTAR!!! My pups fell in love with Tyler the minute she walked through the door. This is the first time I have ever had a dog sitter that wasn't family or a friend, so receiving updates and pics of my pups without asking put my mind at ease, Top notch and I look forward to booking her in the future.
Nancy was amazing and extremely responsive. She was able to come for a last-minute meet and greet and was able to watch my pup Francisco within a few days notice. I would definitely have her watch him again as she is trustworthy, kind, and generally a positive and helpful person!
Having a bulldog with severe separation anxiety, we were worried about leaving him for our 10 day getaway… especially since we have never before left him alone for more than a day. After interviewing Beverly, we were very comfortable allowing her to live in our home to take care of Buster and our house. She exceeded our expectations, showing us photos of her interaction with our dog and providing updates during our entire trip. We were excitedly greeted by a very happy dog upon our return. Beverly did an OUTSTANDING job!
Devanna was so good with our wild Weim and also took such good care of our other animals as well! She left our home spotless as well and our pup seemed very happy (and tired) when we returned from our trip. Thank you Dev for such a great first overnight visit with Biggie! We’ll definitely see you again soon 🥰

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 Covina 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 Covina 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.
Tip: 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 Covina 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 , 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 .
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 .
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.
