“Debbie and Bill provided first class care for our dog for an overnight stay. Their home and backyard, and their own pet, made our dog very comfortable. Highly recommend!”
“Amely was wonderful with FiFi during her two-night stay! From our initial meet-and-greet, she was friendly, professional, and welcoming. Throughout the weekend, she communicated consistently and sent plenty of pictures, which gave us peace of mind. We truly appreciated her attentiveness and the care she provided. We were so pleased with our experience that we’re planning to book with her again for the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday week! We highly recommend Amely to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter.”
“Eric was amazing! My sitter canceled last minute, and I’m so grateful Eric was available to take care of Coco. Coco usually has trouble eating in unfamiliar environments and can get very hyper, but Eric reassured me the entire time by sending constant updates and photos. When I picked Coco up, I was surprised she hadn’t lost any weight at all and actually looked very well fed and happy. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing she was in good hands. Highly recommend Eric if you’re looking for someone caring, reliable, and attentive with pets!”
About: I have experience handling dogs of different sizes and temperaments I am responsable ,patient, and attentive to each dog’s needs including feeding ,walking playtime and basic care It fits perfect because I’m currently not working which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for dogs I enjoy spending quality time with pets ,including walks,playtime I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment for all pets. I closely follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, routines, and care. I always supervise dogs during playtime and walks, keep doors and gates secure, and make sure pets feel comfortable and stress-free. I treat every dog with patience, respect, and the same care I would give my own.
“I just wanted to say thank you to Mel! Thank you for taking care of Max. I can see that Max had a blast and a great time with his new friends there. Thank you for everything you do. I recommend Mel and will come back for sure.”
“Jess was absolutely wonderful with Corey. From the very beginning, her communication was clear, timely, and very reassuring, which gave us so much peace of mind. She carefully followed all of our instructions and treated Corey with genuine care and attention. Corey was a bit anxious at first, but thanks to Jess’s calm energy and thoughtful walks, She settled in quickly. After just one night, She was completely back to her happy, balanced self. It was clear that Jess truly understands dogs and connects with them on a deeper level. We are incredibly grateful for the love and care she showed Corey, and we would trust her again without hesitation. Highly recommend Jess to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and intuitive sitter.”
“Julie and Justin were great. At first my wife and I weren't sure about leaving Archie with someone other than another family member, but Archie was well taken care of and we were very happy with the experience. Julie and Justin sent plenty of pictures and videos of Archie and i quickly noticed that Archie was fine and having fun. We were on vacation and it was as though Archie was on vacation too. There was plenty of room indoors and plenty of room outdoors for Archie to play. We are thankful for Julie and Justin being patient and loving to our doggy Archie. We would definitely request them again for Archie.”
“Ani was amazing!! My dog, who has a lot of fear, warmed up so quick so I know she gave him the best care and was super gentle and patient with him! I struggle leaving him with new people but with Ani, I felt super at ease and she was super understanding and accommodating with everything he needed!”
“Joyce and Yu are the bessssst!! They watched my dog while I was traveling and I could tell he was in very good hands. They’re very kind and caring, took him on plenty of walks and adventures to the park, provided a calm haven, and sent so many cute photos 😊 He even got a spa day while he was in their care! I’ll definitely be using them again — highly recommend!”
“Raider loved his stay with Louis and his family! ? I was super worried to leave him for a full week but they made me feel really comfortable during raiders drop off. I got daily updates and pictures which made me feel more at ease. I hope they are available for us The next time we go out of town. I know that raider loved his stay too because he was looking for his fur brothers and sisters for that week when we got home ? he’s back to being an only fur child for now ?”
“I highly recommend Lauren. It was easy to communicate the schedule with her. She is flexible on the hours of pick up which we really appreciate. Her place is spacious and clean. We felt really comfortable leaving our dog with her. She sent a lot of pictures and videos of our dog.”
“Selien is amazing! She cared for my senior dog with some much attention and warmth. I was never nervous at all that Calvin wasn’t getting the love he needs while I was on vacation which really helped me unwind with peace of mind. I loved her daily update texts on how he was doing and the pictures she would send it felt like I was nearby and in the loop at all times. I would 100% be more than happy to have her look after Calvin again!”
“Just picked up my baby from Amy’s place! This time is no different from the past times. Amy’s service just gets better every time I board Hazyl because of her attentive nature. Hazyl was whining once again as we were driving away from her house! Not to mention, she walks right into their house every single time! I know how much Amy and her family treat her as if she were their own pet! I no longer trust anyone else to provide care for my baby. She continues to send me pictures and updates on her daily activities, but I just know she’s in such good hands that I don’t even need to worry. P.S. If you see any negative comments… no, you didn’t! I’m going to continue booking Hazyl with Amy. Your loss, my gain. See you soon—Hazyl and I will be back!!! 🐶🩷”
“We had a great experience with Andrue and Mary Isabella. They were super friendly and took great care of our dogs. They sent pictures and communicated regularly during our trip. Our dogs enjoyed their company and seemed to have a lot of fun during their stay. We would recommend and book again in the future.”
“We had to find a last minute sitter for our two dogs after a family emergency changed some plans. Wing was super responsive and saved the day. My pups loved being with her and they had so much fun with the other pups there. I could really tell that Wing really cared about my dogs and treated them like her own while she watched them. I will use her again and again!”

Absolutely love Jasmine! She kept us informed daily and put our minds at ease while we were away. One of our boys has separation anxiety and Jasmine and her family cared for him and he actually ate food while we were away!- Which is something that never happens. Highly recommend her for your fur babies and can’t thank her enough!
Kekoa had a great time staying with Debra & William for a few days. Whether it was breakfast talks in the kitchen or sunbathing out in the backyard. He definitely enjoyed himself and I’m sure he’d love to go back and stay with them again sometime. Debra & William kept us up to date with videos and pictures which made the separation much easier.
Eric you saved our trip 😊you took pumpkin in four hours before take off we were so blessed to have you available. You made our trip so enjoyable knowing pumpkin was well taken care of . Thank you for sending us fun pictures of him and loving him while we were gone . Thank you 😊
Janet is an absolute incredible dog sitter for our pitty Marley! She sends pics and videos daily and each time we pick up Marley she makes a little arts and crafts design with his paw 🥹 her adult kids are great too bc they love Marley as well and love playing with him. We always feel at ease when we leave Marley with her for our family vacations. Will absolutely book her again!
Ani was amazing!! My dog, who has a lot of fear, warmed up so quick so I know she gave him the best care and was super gentle and patient with him! I struggle leaving him with new people but with Ani, I felt super at ease and she was super understanding and accommodating with everything he needed!
Many thanks Pom & James for your exceptional dog sitting for Diego. We are thankful and grateful for your attentiveness and care for Diego. You made us feel completely at ease while we were away, and it was clear that Diego was in great hands. We truly appreciate the updates and the genuine love you showed him. We look forward to booking with you again in the future! -Nancy & Rudy
Joonshik took absolutely amazing care of my dog Robin while I was away for a flight, and I couldn’t be more grateful. From the start, he was incredibly kind, communicative, and clearly experienced with dogs. He sent regular photo updates that gave me so much peace of mind and made it easy to see that Robin was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. My dog is very attached to me, and I truly consider her one of my kids, and knowing she was in such wonderful hands made all the difference. Joonshik went above and beyond to make sure she felt safe and loved, and that meant everything to me. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely caring pet care. I will definitely be booking with him again in the future!

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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.
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.
94% of sitters in Whittier can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this 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 Whittier 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 Whittier.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Whittier. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Whittier 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 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.
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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
