About: I’m a patient, caring, and dependable pet sitter who treats every pet like family. I understand that each pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, so I take the time to make them feel safe and comfortable. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages, from energetic puppies and kittens who need playtime and consistency to senior pets who may need a gentler pace and extra attention. I follow feeding, walking, medication, and care instructions closely while making sure your pet gets plenty of love and companionship.
“Daylin was so great watching Oliver for the night. She was super attentive and caring. She made Oliver feel comfortable and kept me updated throughout her stay. I highly recommend Daylin and would definitely rebook!”
“Lupe was a pleasure! She took great care of our cat Olive and our house. Lupe sent us tons of photos and communicated clearly and quickly. We will definitely be booking with Lupe again!”
“Raevyn was amazing with our senior dog while we went on 10 day vacation. She was timely and respectful, and always provided updates. Apple is not very friendly with strangers right away but with her she was immediately calm. Apple had a good time and we had a worry free vacation. We will definitely use her as our sitter in the future.”
“Velvet was awesome about staying in touch and sent so many great photos, putting me completely at ease while I was away. My cat was clearly comfortable with her and seemed to have a lovely time. Would definitely book again!”
About: I make sure every walk was filled with fun, fresh air, and lots of tail wags! Ensured dogs got the exercise and attention they needed while keeping them safe and happy. Send updates and cute pictures to owners to keep them connected. I’m more open during the week ( especially the mornings!) than the weekends. I have múltiple dogs on my own so I’m used to the routines. I maintain a structured feeding schedules, plenty of activity, and lots of mental stimulation through toys, enrichment games, and training. Keep a clean living space and monitor their behavior closely to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for every day.
About: I have over 30 years experience with all types of animals, but mostly birds, parrot's 🦜 mostly and dogs 🐕 and cats 😺 I train and raised them throughout the year's of my life.... professional training, Exercise lol love and patience , the desire to take care of animals in need, something I always wanted to do since a child, and watching programs like the discovery channel and national geographic made me want to experience working with wildlife and their well being We love animals, me and my peers,we were raised with pets all are lives and attended to them as well, always keeping fresh water, clean healthy environments for our pets, making sure they have the nutritional value in the food we feed them because fresh water and good diet can help while you are out walking and your dog for example uses the potty, and healthy diet makes it easier to pick up the mess, and reading and knowing about the particular breed you have, can make it a lot easier to raise your dog or cats 😺
“Esmeralda was amazing!! Would absolutely book her again. She took care of our sweet and wild Andy (even tracking down his GPS tracker when he inexplicably lost it!) and I could tell he was super well cared for while we were away. She was also an awesome guest in our home. 15/10 stars”
About: I have 4 dogs myself and even own a gecko. Fostered kittens when I was younger and just recently raised a litter of 3 puppies, each now 9 months old and healthy. Have experience in grooming as well. Currently a Cal state student looking for part time work, studying to be a Psychologist or a behavioral technician. I honestly love animals and although I do have dogs, I miss being around cats, want that job so I can pet and meet new animals. Have been an owner to an elderly dog, adopted her at 10 years old and she was the sweetest, have owned and sheltered animals temporarily and have house sitting experience including bathing, grooming, feeding, and playing with animals.
About: I love staying active and bring that same positive energy to pet care! I’m highly reliable, observant, and experienced in keeping pets happy and safe.

About: lam a HUGE lover of dogs and cats!!! I've grew up with dogs and cats,Ive done dog sitting since I was 10 years old.My neighbors and friends would ask me to house sit and dog it .I am super reliable and super trust worthy.

About: I’ve always grown up around dogs. My favorite breed are pitbull but I have two beagles at the moment. I’ll obey any instructions you have for your pet, I do my best not to feed into bad dog behaviors. I’ve taken care of my family members dogs and multiple dogs at once. I’m good at cleaning up after dogs too. I’m currently studying for my CPA exams, so pet care will easily fit into my weekly routine. I prefer to walk any animal before the sunsets, but being at someone’s home is fine any time. I’m good at cleaning up after animals and myself. I have two beagles so I prefer not to do anything at my house. But I’m more than willing to take care of any pets at their house.
“If I had to summarize Zakiya - PEACE OF MIND. She took care of our dog for 2 weeks in our home and we truly didn’t have to worry about our dog’s well being AT ALL. She’s an excellent communicator, attentive to details (left us a log of our dog’s business), caring and professional. We’d definitely use Zakiya’s services again.”
“Karen was great!! She was punctual, listened and carried all instructions about my little anxious dachshund. Karen sent photos and communicated with me throughout this first stay at our home. I was able to relax and have a great time on our weekend away knowing my dog was in the best of hands. I would not hesitate to have her stay here again. Thank you Karen!”
“Joanne was an absolute lifesaver while I was away for a few days. I have a little puppy, and I needed someone reliable to keep a close eye on him and provide him with comfort during my first time away. I highly recommend Joanne to anyone in need of pet care. Ollie and I adore her, and we’re eagerly looking forward to seeing her again soon. :)”
About: I have cared for an adult in the sunset of his life, a turtle, two dogs beyond 15 years, and currently a four year old maltipoo. The most loyal member of your family can expect my full attention. My goal is to improve their quality of life. This is full time for me. I am saving up for pilot school so I take it seriously. At the same time pets make the best cuddle buddies so expect all the playful attention needed. I earn trust by meeting pets where they are at. If it takes more than one visit to work up to wonderful walks and calm cuddles so be it. Sometimes just being there is enough. Not every pet needs or wants the same thing, but every pet will get my undivided attention.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Compton is $63
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Compton
Absolutely wonderful experience! Andrea was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, and clearly very experienced with dogs. I felt really comfortable leaving my pup in her care, and it was obvious my dog was well looked after and happy. Communication was great throughout, and I really appreciated how attentive and caring she was. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable sitter!
Moriah is AMAZING. We’ve been wanting to go on overnight trips but haven’t since one of our little guys has quite an involved medical routine. We have been so worried we wouldn’t find anyone that would be patient or communicative enough to learn his ways. Moriah turned that thought around *completely* and went above and beyond! Moriah was so attentive to our boys’ routine, asked the right questions, gave us the best updates with pics, and honestly the boys fell even more in love with their buddy! We’re so grateful to Moriah for helping our family, so in Moriah we Trust! :)

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 14,986 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Compton. 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 Compton 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 Compton 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 Compton 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.

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.
