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.

“Joyce was absolutely amazing with our two babies! We’re so grateful for how caring, patient, and attentive she was while we were away. She kept us updated and made us feel completely at ease knowing our pups were in such good hands. The sweetest part is that our dogs absolutely fell in love with her! 🥹❤️ You can really tell that Joyce genuinely loves and cares about animals, and our pups felt so comfortable with her. We couldn’t recommend her enough and would 100% book with her again. I’m sure our babies are already looking forward to seeing Joyce next time! 🐶💕”


About: Hello my name is Stephanie. I live in work in Whittier California. I love animals and have always had multiple dogs and cats in my home but at the moment I have a pet free home unfortunately. I have a huge backyard that is completely fenced in, ready for your baby to play in. I have two sons at home who are older with one being a teenage boy who is ready to go on long walks with your pup on the Whittier trail directly in front of our home. Our family is looking forward to opening up our home to a member of your family. I also look forward to playing/walking with your furry babies 🥰 I work part-time as a night nurse that is only 5 minutes away from my home and to which I always come home on my lunch breaks. I am also always connected to cameras at my home when away. I have a completely fenced in backyard with dog home and crate inside den for sleeping. Whether inside or outside I can guarantee complete safety and/or isolation if needed.

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.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Whittier
This was my first time using a pet sitter for drop-in visits rather than boarding, and I’m so thankful Sugey was available on such short notice! She took the time to do a meet-and-greet a couple of days beforehand, which I felt was beneficial for all of us, especially our cat. Sugey went above and beyond, kept me updated, and even sent pictures during her visits, which gave me peace of mind. I truly appreciated her care and attentiveness and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter! I would definitely book her again to care for our cat.

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.

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.
