About: What sets me apart as a sitter is the level of care, attention, and adaptability I bring to every pet I look after. I treat each animal like they’re my own, which means taking the time to understand their personality, routine, and specific needs so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I currently work fulltime but weekends I am fully available! I love animals and always have since I was little. Growing up we’ve always have had dogs and cats. I have a fenced yard and we have plenty of room for the dogs to run around. I do also have a pug that is 6 years old but he is super friendly.
About: I have taken care of animals since I was little my family would rely on me to watch the dogs if they went out of town. I have also fostered litters of kittens and I’ve babysat puppies. And have taken care of sick animals. Im new here please book me!! i’m currently unemployed so I have a very free schedule to come play with your pups!I’m free for boarding any day of the week or weekend I have a fenced yard and two German Shepherd’s that Love going outside all day and I also have cats that are inside outside
About: Animal Care and service was my career and my passion for many years, since I was a child. I have had the opportunity to work with and learn from several Humane Societies and Animal Care Centers over the years. Loving, Caring for and protecting Animals have always been my passion as well as serving in my community. This is my opportunity to share my home, my passion and my love for animals with your (furry) family member and I am excited about that. I have always appreciated the trust, loyalty and respect given to me by the owners that love their dogs, simply put! It’s just a wonderful feeling to be around all that love. I am officially retired so I have plenty of time to spend with your furry family member, I also have a flexible schedule so that I can offer several Animal Care Services I have a gated front yard, fenced rear yard and a secure pool area if your dogs likes to have water fun, additional secure small Animal play Area (my Boston’s love it). The security cameras also give that little extra feeling of safety. I have crates, dog beds and private quiet rooms for the Animals to sleep or rest in if needed so your animal always feels totally at home. (because that’s the real goal!❤️).
About: I have always grown up with animals in my home, mainly dogs and cats and some small creatures. I currently have two standard poodles. I started out taking care of other people's animals when I was a freshmen in high school with my neighbors' animals. When I started driving, that's when I expanded my services to staying overnight in other people's homes to take care of their animals. I recently graduated from Sonoma State University and taking a gap year before I get my masters degree. So right now, my schedule is pretty flexible and love any animals. Any time that someone needs care for their animals, I’m very happy to help out in any way that I can! When I stay overnight in other people's homes, if your animals need to be crated, I can do that and let them out at night if needed to go to the bathroom. I provide dog walking either morning or night.
About: I have been a pet lover since I was a child, grew up in a ranch where we had both farm animals , cats and dogs. I look forward to providing your pet with the care they need, fun walks and play time . I will be off for the summer and will be available throughout June July and August. The sooner you can book your services the better. I have lived in this home for 15 years and have excellent neighbors. I have a fenced yard with grassy area. There is no access to the front yard everything is secured.
About: I have lived with cats my whole life. Yet, since then, I happily decided to adopt my 4 beautiful dogs. I couldn't be happier taking care of them plus my cats. I also babysit 2 of my friends dogs and cats at times. All 5 dogs get along great and they keep each other company when I am here and when I am gone. I have also stayed at a couple people's houses and watched their pets while they were out of town. I am available at different times throughout the day but I can also be available at some nights. I enjoy spending time with animals, playing with them and helping them feel safe and comfortable. The other three days, I feed horses, so I am more limited on what I can do. I hate whenever I see animals that are bored or neglected. I am currently working part-time, but I am perfectly willing to spend what extra time I have taking a dog for a walk or playing catch. Plus, I love taking care of kitties too. I take care of anyone's pets as if they were my own. I want for them to feel as happy, safe and loved as possible.
“Mary Elizabeth was a fantastic pet sitter. This was our first time using a sitter because we are new dog owners, so we were worried about all kinds of things. From the moment of the meet and greet, our dog was at ease. She came over for the meet and greet and got all the instructions. She sent plenty of pictures, updating us when she arrived and when she left. She accommodated a minor schedule adjustment with ease. She was exactly the support we needed - our Velcro dog is used to me being at home all day and my roommate works 12 hour days. Mary Elizabeth kept our dog company for several hours each day and it put us at great ease during my vacation. She tidied up the coming areas of the house and left a beautiful flower as a finishing touch. We look forward to using her services again and again.”
About: Where I live, I am not able to have pets. (English bulldogs are my favorites! I know all about their special needs having been owned by them before.) But I love animals, have been a dog and cat owner in the past and have fur-babysat for many friends, family and acquaintances for many years. I give good ear and belly rubs, am able to walk dogs and send you pictures. I follow instructions well, can administer medication and pick up after pets diligently. Can give generous treats or few, as directed. I am comfortable with multiple animals. I know the value of making sure water bowls are full, animals aren't overheated or left out in the cold and clients feel confident about their property & pet care. I have watched all sizes, from dachshunds to St. Bernards. I do not have allergies. I am responsive to messages, usually have a flexible schedule and pride myself on good service. Every animal has their own personality. They all appreciate the comfort of their own home, though. My daily schedule is working in an office from 7:30-4:30. I am available most afternoons and evenings for walks, possible animal and house-sitting many weekends. Since I am not able to own pets in the home I rent, your animals would have all my attention. I would Not take on multiple jobs or agree to more than I could handle. Your fur babies are your priority and taking good care of them is mine.
“Elizabeth was absolutely wonderful dog sitting for my two dogs. Both of my dogs warmed up to her very quickly and She treated my dogs just as they were her own. She sent me updates and let me know how the dogs were doing.”
About: I've taken care of dogs for friends, family and my own pets. I think animals are attracted to me and can sense my kindness. Pet owners are often surprised by how their pets react to me "My pet never trust strangers" or "My pet must really like you." I will care for your pets like they were my own. I'm currently not employed at the moment. I'm planning on moving to California by the end of this year. I have the free time to care for pets. I will follow what you set for your pets routine, rules, preferences and their own special idiocentric tendencies. I respect pet owners and what they choose for their pets.
“Jessica is fantastic. I had some concerns leaving Lucy after a not so positive previous experience of boarding her in someone else’s home. So I opted to do an ‘in-my-home’ service this time and it was exactly what she needed. Jessica was the perfect fit who understood my concerns and made sure this experience was very positive. Jessica made Lucy feel comfortable, loved and safe! She took her on walks, spent quality time with her and put up with Lucy’s quirkiness. She sent photos and updates and tolerated me being an overprotective mom. I already have plans to use Jessica’s services again and highly recommend her to all!! Seriously, the best!”
About: Hi, you can call me Jace! I’ve nursed puppies back from parvo, bottle-fed new born kittens, and rescued over 10 dogs from the street! I also have experience in special needs and senior dog care! I’m currently working part time and have plenty of time in my schedule for boarding! Monday - Sunday I can be booked for overnights and will be spending time with your furry family before 2 pm and after 6 pm. I am extremely cautious of front dogs and perimeter safety. I also secure leashes before we step outside and always lock doors upon leaving the premises.
“After being away for 16 days, I came home to happy healthy animals well cared for plus plants thriving! She keep with updated on the status of my animals on a regular bases and informed me of minor changes so I can take care of it when I returned (dog leash was destroyed again).”
“Alexa did a great job watching our dogs! We know they were happy to stay home in their own environment when we went out of town and Alexa came regularly to walk/play with them, let them outside, and feed them. She followed our instructions, kept us updated and asked questions when needed. We will definitely be asking for her to watch our dogs again.”
About: I've been a pet sitter for more than a decade. I am thoroughly proficient with puppies and high energy dogs, such as Golden Retrievers. I enjoy looking after and creating connections with pets and their owners alike. I have open availability to care for your pets! I am currently on the job hunt, and I am pursuing pet setting as a side opportunity. I believe that the best care is around the clock supervision, and clear/concise communication with pet owners. I am always keeping the pets under my care stimulated and enjoying our time together.
“Tamia was the absolute best! She took such great care of my pup Benji and made the whole experience stress-free. She responded quickly, was super flexible with her availability, and kept me updated the entire time. She was so accommodating and even went above and beyond by helping with cleanup, which I really appreciated. On top of being reliable, she’s incredibly sweet and clearly has a genuine love for animals. I felt completely at ease knowing Benji was in such good hands. I’ll definitely be booking with her again—highly recommend!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 607 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Del Rey. 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 Del Rey 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 Del Rey 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 Del Rey 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 , 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 .
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 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.
