“This was my first time leaving my dog with anyone who wasn’t family while I was on vacations so I was a bit nervous. However, Arlene was amazing!!! My dog loved her the minute she met her. She sent me daily pics and updates on how she was doing and the things they were up to. Knowing my baby was being so well taken care of allowed me to relax and enjoy my vacation. I came home to a happy pup and a clean house (not expected at all but very nice after an exhausting travel day). I would highly recommend her and hope she is available for our future pup sitting needs :)”
“Elle did a fantastic job taking care of our dog. Koa is older and needs a little extra care and attention. It was obvious from the start that Elle made a connection with Koa. She sent lots of updates and pictures to show us how well Koa was doing. This is the first time we’ve left Koa with someone not in the family and it couldn’t have gone any better. We definitely recommend Elle.”
“This time around my poor pup got stitches the day before Laura was watching him. She took extra good care of him, making sure he got his medicine, was eating, and checked that the inflammation was decreasing. She also made sure my other dog got plenty of love, and kept me updated. I would definitely recommend Laura!”
About: Hi! My name is McKayla and I am a big animal lover!! I have two friendly kitties named Snowbell and Penny, and a Boston Terrier named Sophie. In the past, I gained experience dog/cat sitting for family friends, but I am looking forward to broadening my care to dogs/cats in the neighborhood! I love going on long walks with my dog, so I thought it would be perfect to get the opportunity to help others out by walking theirs! I also love to cuddle my animals and give them some special attention, and I hope through Rover that I can spread more love to some furry friends! I live in a beautiful gated housing community so it is the perfect spot for long walking routes! If Its checking in on pets, I will be sure to make sure they get some special attention too:)
“I highly recommend Laura and would book her again! She watched our dog and house. She was very communicate, arrived on time, and followed our dog’s schedule. Super professional, nice, and trustworthy. Our dog is kind of anxious and she managed that very well. She also left our house spotless! Thank you!”
“Truly exceptional in every way! We were pretty nervous about using rover for in-house sitting for the first time but Alexis made us feel so comfortable and made everything seamless. Most importantly, Bucky loved her right away and he is an excellent judge of character ☺️. Alexis sent lots of photos and even video updates so we knew he was doing great and being well cared for every day. It takes a special person to take on a very large dog in a new space and Alexis was everything we could hope for in a sitter. And she left our home looking perfect too! So grateful for her care and would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a kind, considerate, and extremely competent sitter for their fur baby.”
“Megan sent us plenty of updates and pictures, and Murphy seemed so happy with her! Very responsive and left the house in perfect condition. We will definitely be rebooking!”
“I’ve never been away from my babies in four years. So my first vacation away from them was incredibly scary for me. But oh my days I’m incredibly thankful I stumbled across Valeriya. I know my boys can be overwhelming with how high energy they are but she reassured me they were so well behaved while I was gone. She sent me very frequent updates to ease my mind that they were in good hands. I left detailed instructions, and she followed every single one. I’m so excited to be able to travel and know my babies will be in good hands, I’m definitely going to be a frequent client. I can’t express my thanks enough!”
“Sonia was fantastic with Rita for our first house and dog sit since adopting her. She struck the right balance in communication, which we really appreciated, especially since this was new for us! Rita has a few health issues, and Sonia handled them with real care and confidence, paying close attention and adjusting as needed. She went above and beyond for Rita throughout the stay, and we came home to a house just as well cared for as our dog. Can't recommend her enough!”
About: I grew up around horses and learned to respect all living creatures large and small. We always had pets at home and they gravitated towards me because I like to play and have fun with them. I had a cat for 16 years in my youth and loved her so much. Kitties will always have a special place in my heart. I have had many pets over the years and my most recent were two rescue shepherd/husky mix wonderful family members. They were brother and sister and both passed away. I do not currently have any pets of my own right now. Pet sitting is the joy of my life, and I cannot imagine a day without walking, playing and cuddling with furry friends. I am home all day and available to spend quality time with your fur babies! I am extremely flexible and am here for all of your pet’s needs. I like as much information about the pet as you'd like to give me. Whatever your pet needs, I will provide for them. I have lots of experience with anxious dogs and senior dogs and cats. I welcome any information you can provide to help your pet feel comfortable. I will only feed your pet what you provide. I will follow all of your instructions verbatim.
“We really appreciate all the care that Lisbeth gave our boy during our absence. She was great in communication and sent us tons of photos and videos. If you need responsive and trustworthy care for your fur babies , you can trust Lisbeth 1000%. Thank you so much for taking such good care of Ponchik.”
About: Hi! My name is Anastasiya and I’d love to look after your precious pet! I have experience looking after both cats and dogs of many sizes. I prioritize exploration and playtime with your fur baby. Routine is important, and special instructions will definitely be followed. Expect lots of photo updates, extra tail wags, and peace of mind! I have a flexible schedule for all hours of the week. My calendar is always kept up-to-date, so feel free to reach out with your dates or to request a meet-and-greet! I’ll make to sure to treat your baby as one of my own! A good walk, a full bowl of food and lots of cuddles is always my number one goal!
“Brittany loves dogs! She sent pictures of my big, goofy dogs curled up next to her; very reassuring for me being across the country at the time. She stayed in our home and all went well; I’m lucky to have found her.”
“Claire was absolutely wonderful in taking care of our 11month old golden retriever puppy at our home. She was attentive to her needs, took her on walks, gave us updates throughout the day, and made sure she was cared for in the best way possible. She was available to watch her last minute and even stayed later at our home when some unexpected things came up for my wife at work. We are very appreciative of the care Claire provides to our puppy! Highly recommend!”
About: I like to be active and go on runs or walks, so I can do any activity like that with your dog(s); whether we're playing fetch, going on walks/runs, visiting the park, etc. and I am a very patient and loving person! It would be a pleasure to have fun with your dog(s) in any capacity! I have experience house/dog sitting and running with even the most energetic dogs!

I am flexible and can be available for weekends. I can do walks or runs in various areas. I have a small backyard, concrete/dirt mix where my dog has space to run and play fetch. It is all enclosed, and theres even a fake grass patch for dogs. I walk mornings and evenings and can also run dogs with extra energy. I work from home some days of the week so can be with dog for longer parts of the day and schedule can be flexible depending on needs.
About: I have taken care of animals ever since I was little. Since I was about eight years old I have looked after a variety of animals. Including dogs, cats, and even reptiles like lizards and bearded dragons! I also previously worked at multiple dog daycares and was a shift supervisor at one of them for over a year. I currently have no job so the most I am out of the house is two or three hours and we do frequent potty breaks. I also take them to the dog park if weather permits:)! I have a fenced in yard with two very friendly dogs who love to have friends. And plenty of extra room inside the house so the dogs have their own space aswell!

Nicola did an amazing job making sure our pups felt like they were at home even when we were away from home. She was very fast at responding back when booking and answering all of our questions. She as well made sure to ask questions about our pups to make sure they were well taken care of. While we were at our event she sent us a text a little after we left to let us know they had settled in with her. Giving us a peace of mind as we entered our evening. We got multiple updates and the cutest pictures of our boys. Definitely book with Nicola if you want tour pups to feel safe and loved. She was incredible.
BreeAnna did a wonderful job taking care of our 7 month old puppy for 2 weeks in our home. We were nervous about leaving our puppy and this was our first time leaving her with someone else for more than a day. BreeAnna was very responsive and provided detailed updates and pictures consistently. Our pup was in great health and spirits when we returned!
Gia cared for our senior dog over Christmas for a week and did a fantastic job! She was attentive to our dog's specific needs, prompt in communicating with us, and tidy and respectful of our home. I highly recommend Gia as she is responsible and caring with pets and is a kind and trustworthy person to work with. We will be hiring her again in the future!
Elly May loves Javier! When I got home, she was obviously healthy and happy. Javier had explored the local trails with her. She got a good report card from him as well. The only reason I left off one star is that his vehicle left some oil spots on my new driveway. So next time, I would ask him to park on the street. No big deal.

FAQs for House Sitting - Del Rey Oaks
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Del Rey Oaks on Rover is $62.16 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 896 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Del Rey Oaks. 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 Oaks 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 Oaks 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 Oaks 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.
