“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.”

“Janet did a great job checking in on my two pups.. never once did I have to worry about anything. She also made sure they got their meds and spent quality time with them. I will definitely be using her in the future. Thank you Janet”

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.
“Jessica was so patient with my anxious dog and took the time to let her warm up to her! Thank you Jessica for giving me peace of mind and making sure Koko was fed and cared for!”


About: Hi there! I'm a certified animal lover and lifelong dog person. 🐾 I've grown up with dogs my whole life, and these days my sidekick is my adorable 3-year-old Maltipoo, who keeps me on my toes and reminds me every day why I love caring for pups. I have experience with dogs of all ages—from energetic puppies to sweet senior companions—and I believe every dog deserves patience, kindness, and lots of love. My goal is to make every walk fun, enriching, and stress-free, while making sure your furry family member feels safe and cared for. Safety is always my top priority. I'm responsible, attentive, and always looking for opportunities to learn more about dog behavior, positive training techniques, and how to confidently handle dogs with different personalities and needs. Whether your pup loves long adventures, leisurely sniff walks, or just wants a friendly companion while you're away, I'd be honored to care for them like they're one of my own. I can't wait to meet you and your best friend! I work from home so I have the flexibility to walk your pups or check in any time. Just give me a day's notice and I will respond right away. Safety is my upmost priority. I always make sure to supervise my pups when they are outside. I believe it's very important to always be aware of my surroundings while walking, so I never look at my phone. I love to give lots of cuddles and positive reinforcement.
About: Pets have been a part of our family for 20 plus years. Each one has been a crucial part of our lives, teaching us how to care for one another with grace and admiration. We have raised pets from puppies and kittens all way to seniors. From walking great danes to feeding little cats, our family can care for loved ones no matter what special attention they may need. Our fenced in yard has plenty of space for playful puppies while our home is located near a beautiful bike path for lovely evening walks. Your pet will receive all the attention and support they need so you can rest assured they are safe and cared for. I am currently a stay at home dad with plenty of time to care for and play with pets. Once the kids are off to school our day will be filled with unforgettable fun and excitement here in beautiful Whittier California. Whether your dog prefers inside or outside, our home is a perfect fit. Our fenced in backyard has plenty of space for running and play. After some exercise your pet can relax on our extra large dog bed or even take their spot on our couch. If your pet just needs an afternoon walk, I have everyday experience walking dogs of all sizes. Safety and awareness are my top priorities while taking your dog on a stroll.
“Kelli was a total trooper and went above and beyond what I hired her to do, which was just check in on my elderly pups while I took a me day to hike with friends. For some reason the lock on my side gate failed after she took one of them on a walk. We eventually sorted it out but Kelli was kind enough to stay with my girls while I tried to get a neighbor to help since I was 1.5hrs away in the mountains. Through out the whole ordeal Kelli was super patient and understanding, a total angel.”

About: I was a Veterinary technician for 5 years in both a Veterinary Clinic setting and at the Humane society. I am currently a Veterinary student pursuing a doctorate of veterinary medicine. I am currently home for the summer and have a relatively open schedule for pet care, I am available for most of the week unless I have personal matters to attend. I am familiar with different leash equipment that will fit your preference and I will of course follow all instruction provided to guarantee care and comfort for your fur kids :)
About: Thoughtful, dependable care and clear communication are at the center of how I approach pet sitting. I’ve always naturally connected with animals and enjoy providing warm, attentive care that helps them feel secure and relaxed while their owners are away. With years of experience caring for dogs and cats through house sitting, drop-in care and overnight stays, I’m very comfortable maintaining pets’ routines and helping them feel settled and comfortable in familiar spaces. I also have experience caring for a variety of animals beyond cats and dogs, including rabbits, fish and reptiles, which has helped me become very attentive, adaptable, and detail-oriented when it comes to animal care. What sets me apart most is my attentiveness, communication and calm presence. I understand how important it is to feel fully comfortable leaving your pets in someone else’s care, so I make it a priority to provide thoughtful updates, photos and dependable care throughout each stay. I’m patient, respectful of your home and strive to care for pets in a way that feels personalized to their needs and personalities. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, loved and comfortable while giving owners peace of mind knowing their pets are in caring and reliable hands. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine, and I’m able to dedicate focused time and attention to the pets I care for throughout the week. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to accommodate drop-ins, house sitting, feeding schedules, playtime and regular companionship depending on each pet’s needs. I understand how important routine and familiarity can be for animals, so I always try to maintain their normal schedule as closely as possible while providing plenty of attention, patience and companionship. I’m very attentive to details such as feeding instructions, walking routines, medications if needed, household preferences and any behavioral or comfort needs your pet may have. I also make it a priority to keep spaces clean, secure and respectful throughout each stay. Communication is very important to me, so I provide regular updates and photos to help owners feel informed and reassured while they’re away.
About: I have 14 years experience beginning with a puppy growing into a 14 year old senior. I understand the love for your dog is like a family member and I feel the same way! I currently work at a school so my schedule allows me to care for pets after school, evenings, and weekends. Holidays are available also with notice I have a smaller fenced back yard, a large park next door for walks and play time. I have a crate available if wanted/requested. Pet beds also available if wanted
About: I absolutely love animals, especially dogs and cats, and have dedicated 17 years to caring for them. My experience includes working at various pet hotels, where I provided loving, attentive care. Animals bring me joy, and I’m passionate about ensuring they feel safe, happy, and well-cared for every day. My pup that I had for 16 years passed in March 2024 and I can’t find the heart to get another pet of my own, but I would love to help others take care of theirs. I work from home and I’m very flexible. I also have reliable transportation, it is also a large vehicle so I am able to transport large dogs/pet equipment I have a very large property that is fully enclosed and double gated… The front gate facing the street is an iron 6 foot gate.
About: Growing up in India I used to rescue and help puppies find homes. I have experience working at adoption centers. I can walk and feed your dogs but am unfortunately not experienced with administering medicines or grooming. I will give lots of love and attention and take great care of your babies. I'm currently fully available to dedicate all my time to your babies. I have no commitments to work or any travel plans as of now. I live with 2 cats and unfortunately cannot host any dogs at my house. Would be happy to house-sit your dogs and also available for drop-in visits. I can host cats and kittens that are comfortable with other cats.
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: I have been caring for dogs my entire life — it’s not just something I do, it’s who I am. I currently have two boys of my own: Basil, a French Bulldog, and Cashew, a Morkie. I also regularly care for a German Shepherd, a Chihuahua, and several other breeds, so I’m very comfortable with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. From puppies to seniors, I understand that every dog has its own personality and needs. Your pup will be loved, watched closely, and treated like one of my own. I work remotely, which gives me a flexible schedule that fits pet care naturally into my day. I’m available for dog walks in the evenings and for boarding or sitting on weekends. I also have availability during school breaks and holidays, so I’m a reliable option when you need coverage during those busy times. The safety of every pet in my care is my top priority. At my home, I have a dedicated fenced-off area just for dogs, so they have a secure space to move around freely. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I do a full walkthrough to make sure all doors, gates, and exits are secured before letting any pup roam. I stay hyper-aware and attentive at all times — your pet won’t just be watched, they’ll be genuinely looked after.

About: I have a genuine love for animals as an owner myself of dog, cat, and bearded dragon for seven years running. I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m patient, dependable, and attentive to each pet’s unique personality and routine. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, administering basic care, or providing companionship, I strive to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I’m committed to following your instructions carefully and keeping you updated with photos and messages for peace of mind. Caring for pets is something I genuinely enjoy. I make time throughout my week to ensure pets receive exercise, companionship, and consistent care. Whether it’s a daily walk, feeding, or simply keeping them company, I’m committed to making them feel safe, happy, and loved. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions, including feeding schedules, walks, medications (if needed and instructed), and any special care routines. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, and affection while ensuring pets are always supervised in a safe environment.
“Ashley is simply amazing! My husband and I have two very cute (but also very high maintenance) senior kitties. We recently went out of town for the weekend and we were lucky enough to have Ashley look after our kitties. Ashley was always on time. During her visit, she shared photos and updates so we knew our kitties were well fed and taken care of. Ashley went above and beyond to make sure our kitties were comfortable during her visits and even set them up so they had great napping spaces throughout the day. It is such a great feeling knowing that you have someone to CARE for your pets when you are gone and are not there to just do the bare minimum. I highly recommend Ashley as a sitter or walker for your pets!”

We would highly recommend Arika! She is kind and very professional and we were so happy that our cat had such great care.

Nancy was an excellent sitter for our doggies! She was very communicative and right on time. The dogs had lots of fun playing catch with her in the backyard. She was also very accommodating with last minute schedule changes and willing to work with us. We really appreciate her flexibility!

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.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Whittier stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .

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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
