“Lissi was super warm and excellent with our pet. She was flexible, punctual, very communicative, and provided welcome updates throughout the booking. Great job, it was a pleasure working with her.”
About: I've spent my life enjoying taking care of dogs and a large variety of animals. I've always been known as an animal person for how much attention and care I provide animals! As of now, I am not working any other jobs and should be available at any times of the day. I should be getting a job somewhat soon unless I find joy out of taking care of these pets! I will follow any and all instructions that the owner of the pets will provide. Ensuring the safety and care for your pets as needed!
About: I’ve basically lived in a zoo since I was a child, ha! My family always had a variety of animals, including dogs and cats. I’m new to Rover, but have so much love for animals! I’m a doctoral graduate student, but on summer break! My availability is pretty open, and I’m always happy to spend time with fur babies! My dogs are completely spoiled! They’re family members and treated as such. Plenty of loving, belly rubs, and I’m a proud professional ear scritcher! They sleep inside (usually on top of me in some way). I walk them both daily, but it’s usually more like they walk me, ha! Also, my youngest has separation anxiety and my older dog is completely terrified of loud noises (fireworks, cars backfiring, etc.), so I’m also very patient with dogs that need a little bit of extra love and care.
About: Hello everyone! I’m an enthusiastic amateur photographer with a serious passion for capturing the unique personalities of dogs, cats, and all kinds of pets. I’m actively working to expand my pet photography portfolio and would love to create beautiful, heartfelt images of your furry family members. Whether it’s playful action shots in the park, cozy in-home portraits, or candid moments during a walk or playtime, I bring patience, treats, and a camera everywhere I go. I’m still building my collection, so I’m happy to offer very affordable (or even complimentary) photography sessions when you book me for dog walking, pet sitting, drop-ins, or overnight stays. I’m gentle, reliable, and genuinely love animals — your pets will be happy and relaxed while I snap some amazing shots you’ll treasure. From goofy zoomies to sweet sleepy cuddles, I aim to freeze those special moments in time. If you’re open to a sitter who also doubles as a pet photographer, let’s team up! Message me to chat about your pet’s personality and what kind of photos you’d love. Can’t wait to meet your four-legged friends and add more adorable images to my growing portfolio! 📸🐶🐱 I'm a retired veteran who has a lot of free time on his hands. I fostered animals while serving in the military and wanted to get back into caring for animals Always flexible with animals and the level of care/attention they require. More than willing to be out and about for a while or stay in because they're home bodies
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life and caring for pets now is second nature. I raised and trained my own dog from puppyhood, giving me hands on experience with everything from potty training and basic commands to daily excersise, enrichment, and routine care. As a marathon runner, I am especially well suited for active and high energy dogs. Whether your pup enjoys long walks, runs, hikes, or plenty of playtime, I am happy to help them get the excerise and attention they need. I also grew up with two family dogs and currently help care for my roommates cat, so I am comfortable with different personalties, energy levels, and care needs. Beyond dogs and cats, I've cared for guinea pigs, hamsters, and reptiles. At one point, I was responsible for 8 pets at the same time, which taught me how to stay organized, attentive, and reliable when managing multiple feeding schedules, cleaning routines, and individual needs. My goal is to treat every pet like they're my own and give you peace of mind knowing they're in loving and capable hands. I am currently on summer break from UC Davis and have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention and care throughout the day. I am available for drop in visits, dog walking, and house sitting on both weekdays and weekends. I can accommodate a variety of schedules and will do my best to work around your pets routine. I understand that every pet has unique needs, so I will be extremely thorough and follow all instructions carefully regarding feeding, medications, excersise, training, and household rules. Safety is always my top priority. I pay close attention during walks, keep pets secure at all times, and make sure they receive plenty of supervision, affection, and enrichment. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you are away.
“Stephanie was fantastic! She kept me updated about my pets and communicated so well throughout my trip and sent me tons of pictures and videos. It was also clear she respected and took care of my home and I came back to a house that was cleaner than when I left. I really appreciate how well she took care of everything while I was away and my pets were very happy too!”
“V did such an amazing job watching my baby. She was super communicative and sent me tons of pictures! He looked so happy and was in a great mood when I got home (: will definitely book with her again and highly recommend her!”
“Amanda looked after my two dogs and house for 12 days and did an incredible job. She sent photos every day and when I returned the house was spotless. Will definitely use her in the future and highly recommend.”

About: I’m the go to pet sitter! I have taken care of dogs, cats, bunnies etc. I am a huge animal person and strive to make any and all pets comfortable and happy. I have worked with small and large (including my own horse) so I am familiar with any and all types of pets. I do work full time but have a very flexible schedule. Although I work best with routine (as much as your animals) I can work with the times you give me! As much as I would love to do in house sitting, I have two fur babies that love their space. I wouldn’t want to jeopardize that!
“Michelle was great with our little 10 week old puppy. She was able to step in at the last minute and watch him for an evening. He’s young so he can be a handful but came home to an excited puppy who didn’t seemed stressed at all and was well taken care of. Very professional and would recommend!”
“Mary did an excellent job caring for our 2 dogs and cat while we were away for the weekend. She is an excellent communicator, follows all instructions and gave our babies so much love! Will be booking her again :)”

About: I love dogs and dream about getting my own. I’ve pet-sat for families since I was 10 and grew up with my two Goldendoodles, who I absolutely adore and consider my babies, named Olive and Cedar! I’m comfortable with daily walks, playtime, feeding routines, medications, and making sure pets feel safe, loved, and cared for while their owners are away. I naturally connect with animals and treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m reliable, attentive, and love being active with dogs—whether that’s going on walks, giving them attention, or just making sure they feel comfortable and happy. I currently work 1–2 days per week at the hospital as a pediatric oncology CNA, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. On my days off, I’m available for dog walks, drop-in visits, and overnight stays. I’m able to be consistent with routines like feeding, walks, and playtime, and I enjoy spending my free time being active and caring for animals. My schedule allows me to be reliable and fully present when I’m caring for pets. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walk times, medication needs if applicable, and any specific care preferences the owner has. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and exercise, especially walks for dogs to help them stay happy and calm while their owners are away. I also focus on creating a safe, clean environment and making sure pets feel secure and not stressed in their owner’s absence.
“Nansi was such a pleasure to work with. She was very attentive and sent me constant updates of my kitty! She also took amazing pictures and videos of him and sent them to me. She kept the house very clean and organised as well. I’d highly recommend her!”

This was the 2nd time Nansi watched my BB. She is very professional, communicative and sweet. My dog loves her and it really shows how much she loves dogs! She sent me videos and pictures to keep me updated and she took good care of my house. I would definitely ask Nansi to pet sit for me again!
Riley was great! She left our home tidy and clean. She sent us lots of pics to update us which we really appreciated. Very easy to communicate with and she is quick to respond. Our girl Kita loved her. Would absolutely recommend her and use her services again in the future :)
We had such a great experience with Sue and are incredibly grateful! She stepped in on very late notice and truly saved our ski trip. From the start, communication was easy and reassuring. Our German Shepherd can be a handful, but Sue handled her with confidence and care. She made sure our dog got plenty of exercise with regular walks, and it was clear she was happy and comfortable the entire time. We really appreciated the updates and the attention she gave her.
Nicole is amazing. We did a few short visits for the dogs to get to know her before our week long trip away. She picked up on our dogs’ personalities very quickly and adapted her energy to match to make it the best possible scenario. She was polite and respectful to both our dogs and our home while we were away. I couldn’t recommend her more and will definitely be reaching out to her on a regular basis for all our sitter needs!
Candy is an absolute gem of a dog sitter! From the moment we connected, I felt completely at ease leaving my dogs in her care. She is reliable, attentive, and genuinely loves animals, which shows in everything she does. Candy kept me updated and treated my dogs like her own. I came home to happy, relaxed pups, which says it all. I wouldn’t hesitate to book Candy again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and wonderful dog sitter.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Cerritos on Rover is $54.93 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 15,131 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Cerritos. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Cerritos 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 Cerritos 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 Cerritos 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 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 .
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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Cerritos. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
