“Molly took amazing care of our dog and cat while we were out of town. Our dog was anxious the first night, and Molly was incredibly patient with her. She took our dog on long walks and sent us frequent/detailed updates that put us at ease. We’re so happy we found Molly!!”

About: I’ve been caring for pets for more than 30 years, both my own and those belonging to friends and family. Over time, I became the person people call when they need someone they genuinely trust with their animals and their home. For years, pet sitting has simply been part of my life. I’m the go-to sitter for many of my friends, and I’ve reached the point where I want to make caring for animals a much more significant part of what I do. I’ve cared for pets through every stage of life, from healthy, energetic animals to seniors with complex medical needs. The longest I cared for one pet was 15 years. That experience taught me how important it is to know what is normal for an individual animal and to notice when something changes. That is a big part of how I approach pet sitting. I pay attention. I learn their routines, how they communicate, what makes them comfortable, and what stresses them out. I notice changes in appetite, energy, behavior, bathroom habits, breathing, vocalization, and the other small things that can tell you an animal is not feeling quite right. I’m also very comfortable following detailed care instructions. I have experience with special diets, oral medications, senior-pet care, behavioral issues, and more involved care routines. I understand that when an animal has specific needs, consistency matters. At the same time, I don’t believe every pet needs to be handled the same way. Some animals want constant companionship. Others prefer a little distance until they decide they trust you. Some want long walks and lots of play. Others are happiest sleeping nearby while you leave them alone. I don’t force interaction. I let the animal tell me what kind of relationship they are comfortable having with me. My goal when house sitting is to keep their life as normal as possible while you’re gone. That means maintaining their feeding, walking, play, medication, and sleep routines as closely as I can, while giving them the level of companionship they are used to. I also send regular updates and photos so you don’t have to wonder how things are going at home. And I take the “house” part of house sitting seriously. I treat someone else’s home with the same respect I would want someone to show mine. I keep the space clean and orderly, water plants, bring in mail and packages, take care of the ordinary household tasks that still need to happen while you’re away, and handle minor issues when I reasonably can. The feedback I hear most often is that the animals are happy and relaxed when their people return, and the house looks great. That’s exactly what I want. I want you to come home to happy pets, a cared-for home, and the feeling that while you were away, everything was in good hands. I work mostly from home, with the occasional job taking me out of the home for a few hours at a time. Sometimes as little as 2 hours, and sometimes as much as 8. I tend to schedule all my work and pet-sitting around each other so there's no conflict. For puppies, I won't leave them for more than an hour at a time, as they need more bathroom breaks. For smaller dogs, I try to cap it at 3-4 hours. Larger dogs can handle me being away for about 6 hours, and cats I can leave for up to 8. I follow each pet’s established routine closely and let trust develop at their pace. I’m attentive to changes in behavior or health, keep the home secure and orderly, and handle basic household needs while you’re away. My goal is simple: happy pets, a cared-for home, and no surprises when you return.
“Jennifer is great! Followed instructions and provided consistent updates. Super patient and attentive to my dog’s needs. I’m really excited to have found another reliable sitter.”


About: Hi, I’m Mireya. I am a public health professional by day and a passionate dog walker on the side. As the proud owner of two adorable miniature doxens, I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I’m dependable, patient, and love spending time outdoors. Whether it’s a quick potty break, a long walk, or extra belly rubs, your pup will be in caring hands. I have a flexible work from home schedule. I enjoy talking walks during lunch , so why not walk your dog :). During the weekends , I am free any time. I always make sure my dogs have water right after their walks and always ensure I carry extra potty bags. If warm , we always walk on the shady area.
“Ashton was fantastic, couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Our pets adored her immediately, even our very shy cat felt comfortable with her right away. She left our house clean and our pets so happy. I would recommend her to anyone in need of pet care and would book her again in a heartbeat. Thank you Ashton!”

“Paul was a fantastic dogsitter the week he took care of my definitely-a-handful dog Athena. Athena take medication three times a day for epilepsy and requires a muzzle on walks and she therefore comes with a long list of instructions and contingency plans in case of seizures. Paul proved very caring, attentive, and detail-oriented for the entire week, plus Athena was clearly in love with him by the time I came home. Additionally he was always quickly responsive via in-app texts, which included needing to coordinate with my vet to respond to some allergic reactions & skin irritation that week. I would 100% rebook Paul for housesitting or any other services.”

“Liz was amazing with my two large greyhounds and parrot. All three took to her immediately and it was clear from the first visit that she would be a great sitter for my boys. She sent lots of updates and pictures, even providing commentary on each of their unique personalities. It was clear that she treated them like her own and understood each of them and their needs. I will definitely be rebooking in the future.”
“Riley is a warm and caring pet sitter! I knew my chihuahua was in good hands at the first meeting, and Riley's confidence and capability in handling my puppy was greatly reassuring. From the pictures, videos and updates it was clear my dog had a great time and felt very comfortable with Riley! So happy to have found her before my trip!”

“Nick was great with our dog! We were nervous about leaving him, he is a recent rescue, but he really took a liking to Nick. Would absolutely book Nick again.”

“Jessica is attentive, kind, and thorough. She listened carefully and treated my sweet older dog with care. She communicates well and even wrote notes about her day with my dog so she wouldn’t forget anything. Will use her services again!”

“Mahita watched our 3 dachshunds for a total of 10 nights, including our 18 yr old who needs medication 3 times a day. She did an amazing job caring for our pups and home while away. She shared photo updates and even performed a couple small tasks around the home. We 100% will be booking with Mahita again.”

“Amanda was excellent and would highly recommend! We were gone for 10 days and she continued to consistently send photos, videos and updates everyday. She was very flexible in adjusting to our dogs needs and took good care of our home.”

“It always gives us such a peace of mind when Nichole watches our senior dog, who needs medication. Not only does our dog love her and gets so excited when she comes over but we get constant updates while we’re away.”

Nicholas was available on short notice and that was incredibly helpful to me. He was very proactive, letting me know when he needed to go out and when he be back to be with the pup. He was also great with sending me videos and letting you know how she was doing. I would definitely have him come back and take care of Piper again.
Nicholle was great! Our dog bonded with her immediately and felt comfortable with her. Nicholle was very responsible caring for our dog and our home. She also communicated with us regularly with photos and videos of our dog. We really appreciated it. We would definitely hire Nicholle again.
YaYun is super responsive and takes cute photos of my cat! She also checks in about my cats litter box habaits to make sure there wasn't any issue (my cat doesn't poop everyday). Detail oriented and kept my place clean! Would rebook YaYun for sure again in the future!

Emma was absolutely amazing with Louie! She is so sweet, caring, and attentive, and she kept me updated 24/7 with everything—from his walks and meals to the cutest pictures throughout the day. I never had to wonder how he was doing because she communicated constantly and made me feel completely comfortable. Louie was so happy and well cared for! I would 100% recommend Emma and will definitely book her again. ❤️🐶

Chelsea was amazing watching Penny at our house for the day. Penny is a very timid dog and warmed up to her surprisingly quickly. She was given lots of outside time and cuddle time inside which is what she likes. Will definitely work with Chelsea in the future

We have used Kimberly twice now, and she is absolutely amazing! 🤩🐾 There is truly no better feeling than being able to go on vacation without worrying about our fur babies because we know they are in the best hands. Kimberly is incredibly attentive, loving, dependable, and trustworthy. She constantly sends us pictures and updates, letting us know how our babies are doing, which gives us so much peace of mind while we’re away. It’s obvious from the pictures how happy and comfortable they are with her and they absolutely adore her! ❤️ She also takes wonderful care of our home and is incredibly clean and respectful, which we appreciate so much. Coming home to happy fur babies and a well-cared-for home is priceless. After two wonderful experiences with Kimberly, we wouldn’t hesitate to book her again and again. Knowing our babies are being loved and cared for as if they were her own allows us to truly relax and enjoy our time away. We highly recommend Kimberly to anyone looking for an exceptional pet sitter, you and your fur babies will absolutely love her! 🐶🐾❤️

The best feeling is going on vacation and knowing your pets are in good hands. Hannah is responsive, professional, and was able to jump in last minute to help with our 2 dogs and cat. She's great at sending pictures and in every one I could tell my pets were having the best time. Thank you Hannah!!

Ariana watched our puppy when we left her overnight for the first time, and she did amazing. She sent lots of updates with pictures, and she even got our very stubborn dog to eat. It was nice knowing our pup was in good hands, and we would definitely book with her again in the future!

We have used Katy several times now, and she is always fantastic. Our dog really enjoys spending time with her. I find her very trustworthy, great at communicating, takes wonderful care of our home, and she sends the best photos of our dog so we can see how happy she is being able to stay home instead of going to a kennel. I highly recommend Katy!

Valeriya kept my four big dogs for five days and she did an amazing job! My dogs range from age 3 1/2 to 14 years old. Each dog has a very different personality and Valeriya handled each one perfectly. There were eye drops and various medication that two of the dogs needed multiple times a day. She understood and kept them healthy and safe. I would highly recommend Valeriya to take care of your dogs. She also loves kitties. Two of my dogs followed Valeriya around all day. She's a dog whisperer! Don't pass her by let Valeriya take care of your fur babies. I'll be using her again!

Amber was absolutely amazing! We felt so at ease knowing Lucy was in such great hands while we were away. She took such wonderful care of her and was incredibly thoughtful, attentive, and communicative throughout our trip. She also took amazing care of our home and left everything spotless. It’s such a relief to have someone you completely trust with both your dog and your home. We came back to a very happy Lucy and a perfectly cared-for house. We couldn’t recommend Amber more and will absolutely be reaching out to her again! ❤️

Julia was amazing! She looked after our one year old golden retriever Clementine for three days. She gave us plenty of updates and responded quickly when we checked in. Clementine still has some of that puppy energy and excitement and Julia handled that so well. Clem loved her and we’ll definitely book again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Culver City on Rover is $72.15 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 13,876 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Culver City. 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 Culver City 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 Culver City 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 Culver City 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 Culver City. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
