About: Animals have always been family in my home. I had a Terrier who I cared for throughout every stage of life into their elderly years, which gave me experience with senior dog care, patience, and understanding changing needs as dogs age. I’ve also spent a lot of time around other family dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and anxiety needs. I understand that every dog has their own temperament and comfort level, and I make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for like part of the family. Whether a dog is playful and energetic or shy and anxious, I’m patient, attentive, and focused on creating a calm environment where they can feel comfortable. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home, so I am almost always home with the dogs. I absolutely love dogs and enjoy giving them attention and affection. My home is very family-oriented, and pets are treated like part of the family. I will be the primary caregiver at all times but there will be tons of love from my family as well. I have a fully enclosed fenced backyard where dogs can safely play, run around, and get fresh air. I also enjoy taking dogs on walks around Uptown or to local parks for exercise, stimulation, and fun. Since I spend most of my time at home, I am able to provide consistent care, potty breaks, playtime, cuddles, and a calm, loving environment where dogs can feel comfortable and cared for. I provide loving, attentive care for pets both in my home and in my clients’ homes. Since I work from home with a flexible schedule, I’m able to give pets plenty of attention, supervision, potty breaks, playtime, walks, and companionship throughout the day. In my home, pets are treated like family and have a safe, comfortable environment with access to our fully enclosed fenced backyard for exercise and outdoor time. I make sure every dog feels comfortable, secure, and cared for based on their individual personality and needs. I’m available for dog walks, drop-in visits, dog sitting, and boarding. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, anxious, or a senior needing extra patience, I focus on creating a calm, caring experience and keeping pet parents updated for peace of mind.
About: What sets me apart is the genuine care and patience I bring to every pet I meet. As a full-time teacher, I'm naturally attentive, understanding, and calm, which helps pets feel comfortable and safe. I take the time to learn each pet's personality and routine so they receive the care they're used to at home. I'm happy to care for pets of all ages, from playful puppies who need extra patience and energy to senior pets who may need a gentler pace and lots of love. My goal is to give every pet companionship, comfort, and plenty of attention while giving owners peace of mind knowing their furry family member is in caring hands. As a full-time teacher, caring for others is already a big part of who I am. On weekdays, I dedicate my time to my students, and on Saturdays I love spending my free time with your fur babies. Whether it's keeping them company, going on walks, playing, or simply giving them extra love and attention while you're away, I enjoy making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to create a calm, loving environment where they can feel comfortable and relaxed. I always care for every pet with kindness, patience, and respect. I follow each owner's instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and any special routines. I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. Whether I'm caring for them in my home or in a client's home, I treat them as if they were my own and always keep their well-being my top priority.
“Rico loves Janet! She is always on time and attentive to his needs. She is really good at communicating as well which is a must when you are watching someone’s pet. Thank you again, Janet.”
“Arika did an incredible job taking care of Orion, our cat while we were away for a week. She brushed him every day, brought interesting toys for him to try out, and gave him lots of amazing care and attention! She even sent pix and videos. She also did small details like bring in the mail and even asked if we needed plants to be watered. She ended up watering our garden boxes which kept our plants alive while we were away. We would highly recommend Arika! She is kind and very professional and we were so happy that our cat had such great care.”
“Chloe did a great job with drop in visits for our dog! She’s super friendly and our pup loved every visit with her! She followed detailed instructions perfectly and always arrived on time. Will definitely book again !”

“Bethany is great! She took really good care of my dogs and sent pics/notes making sure I was always informed. Highly recommended, I will definitely book with her again.”
About: I've taken care of many breeds of dogs since I was 8. I've been told by friends and family that I am reliable when it comes to bathing, walking and playing around the pups. I'm currently working a part-time job with it being extremely flexible. So my schedule will be fitted around my availability around it. Aside from that, my availability would be typically In the mornings-mid afternoon as well as weekends. Just give me a message and we can go from there! If I were to care for pets in my home or someone else's, I would make sure to keep chocking hazards out of sight. As well as foods that could potentially be dangerous to said pets. If there were certain rules to follow, I would follow. I would also keep in contact with clients for any updates on their pets. If I were also to be in a clients home, I would make sure I'm not doing anything I'm not suppose to be doing other than take care of their animals

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.

I highly recommend her services to anyone looking to have peace of mind leaving their dog in the hands of a caring, capable professional.”
About: I always used to say I wanted to be a Veterinarian since I can remember, but with life and all that comes with it, sadly I gave up that dream. However, just because being a Veterinarian didn't work out didn't mean I have given up on my care and love for animals. I have been lucky in being able to care for many cats and dogs in my life time. From tiny new born kittens to a senior dog in her last days, I have cared for many and consider it an honor to have a relationship with an animal. I am a full-time pet care provider. I do have a part time job that requires me to leave for 4 to 5 hours a couple times a week but other than that I am dedicated to caring for you animal during the time I am with them. I currently live with four cats in my home. They are family pets and though I love them they are more my parents cats. In the past I have been responsible for feeding and caring for both indoor and out door pets. I stay conscious of what my pets feeding and/or walking schedules were like. I also like to know if the pet is a playful one that would like my engagement or a cuddler that likes the snuggles and pets. In the case of new animals that I haven't met before I try to make my introduction as gentle and friendly as possible. I do prefer in the cases of dogs that I meet them first with their owner present so that the dog knows I can be trusted. As for cats I haven't noticed them really caring most of the time. However, I appreciate an introduction if it is possible.

About: I have loved animals since I was a child and have always grown up in a household with many different pets. I have experience caring for both cats and dogs, including senior dogs who may need extra patience, attention, and care. I frequently pet sit for family and friends, and they often rely on me to pet sit because they know I am responsible, loving, and caring. I enjoy spending time with animals, keeping them comfortable and safe, and making sure they receive the love, attention, and fun they need while their owners are away! I’m a student athlete, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give pets the care and attention they need. I’m available for boarding pretty much everyday, my schedule can vary depending on my sports schedule which is only a few hours throughout the day, so feel free to send me a quick message with the time you need care, and I can confirm my availability. I want every pet in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and at home. I’m happy to follow each pet’s routine and provide whatever they need to feel comfortable, whether that means having their own space, being separated from my pets, getting extra attention, or having plenty of playtime. For dogs, I can provide walks, exercise, and trips to the dog park when appropriate. I’m also happy to care for pets in their own home and follow their usual routines. My goal is to make sure every pet feels secure, cared for, and loved while their owner is away.

Jessica went above and beyond taking care of Loki! She was incredibly caring, reliable, and always kept me updated and gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I could tell she genuinely cared about Loki and treated him like her own. She made sure he was comfortable, happy, and getting plenty of attention and love. I’m so grateful I found someone I can trust with Loki, and I’ll definitely be booking with Jessica again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing and trustworthy cat sitter! ❤️
Hazel stopped by to feed and check-in on my orphaned neonatal kitten, and she exceeded expectations! Neonatals require more care like bottle-feeding and expressing, and she did those things no problem. Highly recommend choosing Hazel for your petsitting needs!!
Arika did an incredible job taking care of Orion, our cat while we were away for a week. She brushed him every day, brought interesting toys for him to try out, and gave him lots of amazing care and attention! She even sent pix and videos. She also did small details like bring in the mail and even asked if we needed plants to be watered. She ended up watering our garden boxes which kept our plants alive while we were away. We would highly recommend Arika! She is kind and very professional and we were so happy that our cat had such great care.
Emilia was absolutely fantastic. She walked two dogs I’m currently sitting for, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the start, she was communicative, reliable, and clearly experienced with handling multiple dogs at once. What stood out most was the level of care and attention she gave them. She sent photos during the walk, which was incredibly reassuring and thoughtful. You could tell the dogs were comfortable, engaged, and genuinely enjoying their time with her. When they came back, they were perfectly tired in the best way—calm, happy, and clearly well-exercised. That alone speaks volumes about the quality of her walk and how well she managed their energy. It’s not easy trusting someone else with animals in your care, but Emilia made it effortless. I would absolutely use her again without hesitation and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable, attentive, and professional dog walker.

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Whittier is $21 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $28 per visit. 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 21,683 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Whittier. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.

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.
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.
