“Elle is great! Trustworthy, responsible, and communicates great! She spent a lot of time with my dog and he was happy as a clam when I got home! Glad to have found a reliable sitter!”

“Megan took great care of our French Bulldog and Pomeranian while we were away for 4 days, taking them for long walks and to the beach. We came home to a clean house and Megan even did a load of laundry. Very responsible. Good communicator. And obviously loves dogs. Will absolutely call on Megan first next time we leave our dogs.”
“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: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats, as well as other animals like horses, otters, and seals! I love caring for and ensuring the well-being of all animals, regardless of size or breed. I am a marine biologist currently applying for graduate programs and have lots of availability! I spend lots of time working or walking which either cats or dogs would fit perfectly. I like to take notes and ask questions to ensure all logistics are taken care of when in a clients home. I prefer meet and greets prior to booking to make sure me and your fur baby are compatible as well as become familiar with the home.
“Dean did such an amazing job housesitting for us while we were on vacation. He took care of our chihuahua and Persian cat and they loved him! We got pictures of our pets everyday and I could tell how well they were being cared for. Dean was very communicative during the whole process and took great care of our home as well. We’ll definitely be booking with him again in the future!”
About: Lots of experience with reactive dogs. I've fostered many dogs (not currently fostering) that are adjusting to the world which has given me plenty of experience with reactive and hard to walk dogs. I will use a gentle leader for any dogs that excessively pull. Dogs of all ages welcome. Also happy to accommodate multiple miles walks should the dog need lots of exercise. I'm currently working on a master's degree and will have classes spread throughout the day but I have plenty of time for breaks to take care of midday potty/walk needs. Expect that I will execute any care requests you provide. Otherwise I will provide care, love and exercise for the pet as well as play time and quick command training!
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:)
About: Hi! My name is Kaitlyn, and I’m a dependable, caring pet sitter who truly loves animals. I grew up with dogs and have experience caring for both dogs and cats. I understand that every pet has its own personality and routine, and I’ll make sure they receive the attention, exercise, and affection they deserve while you’re away. I treat every home with respect and will leave it exactly as I found it. Whether you need house sitting, drop-in visits, or dog walks, you can count on me to provide reliable care and regular photo updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I also enjoy helping with basic home-care needs while you’re away, such as bringing in mail and packages, watering plants, taking out trash, adjusting lights/blinds, and making sure everything looks secure and in order. Feel free to ask if you need a little extra help while you’re traveling! I have a lot of availability. Just let me know a day or two in advance and we can make it work. Looking forward to meeting your fur baby! I am a safe and reliable house sitter. I will leave your home exactly as you left it and take good care of it while you’re gone. I will also take good care of your fur babies!
“Taylor was wonderful! She stayed with our pups while we were away for Thanksgiving and I could not have felt more comfortable being away from them. Taylor provided multiple updates, with pictures, each day. Our pups clearly took to her quickly and I think even miss her now that we have returned. We will not hesitate to have Taylor take care of our pups in the future. Thanks Taylor!”
“Very nice and super accommodating! It was my first time leaving my two working dogs to be watched by someone and she did an amazing job! She was super flexible and was great with the dogs. She sent me photos and updates after every visit/walk. I will definitely look for her to watch my dogs again!”
“Lisa was able to accommodate our last minute request and was very good with our fur babies! Our animals felt safe and comfortable with her. She was fast at responses and was super helpful. Would book again”
About: Being a previous doggie owner who I raised from puppyhood, I have experience taking care of dogs at all stages of life, and of all breeds and sizes. I also have experience taking care of livestock, I owned a horse, and have lived on a goat and chicken farm. I connect very much with animals of all kinds and am happy to give them love, nourishment, exercise and comfort. I am unable to have a doggie or kittie of my own right now so having the honor of caring for your furry family member gives my life meaning and enrichment <3 I am going to school currently online through a college out of San Fransisco. The rest of the time I have free to spend with your animal and take care of your home! I like to wake up early and go for a walk and have plenty of time between study sessions to go on walks and care for your pet. I will give regular walks, feed at the same time each day and offer a lot of cuddles and support. I know sometimes animals can feel anxious when their person is away..being a previous dog owner I understand that and I will treat your pet with the upmost consideration for their feelings and do everything to help them relax while their people. :)
About: I grew up around animals, working on my grandparents’ ranch and helping to care for horses, cows, sheep, chickens, ducks, cats, and dogs. I’ve always found working with animals to come quite naturally for me. I first began pet sitting during high school, and in recent years I’ve fostered for local rescue organizations, taking care of and helping to socialize dogs who are up for adoption. My husband and I adopted our own rescue, Leroy, in February 2020 and are so grateful we did! I work from home during the week, and enjoy breaking up my workday with nature walks. Leroy and I love spending time with other dogs, and especially enjoy taking them with us to explore our beautiful neighborhood! I tend to talk often to Leroy and the dogs I’m caring for, and treat them more like little humans. The dogs I grew up with were treated like members of the family, and I’ll treat your dog with the same kindness and respect. Since I work from home, my schedule is flexible and adaptable depending on the needs of the animal I’m caring for. We have a big, grassy, fully-fenced yard and a doggy door for pups to enjoy indoor/outdoor access as they please. As an example of my routine for my own dog (and when I have furry guests!), I usually take Leroy for a morning walk, a lunchtime walk, and a hike or beach walk in the afternoon/early evening, plus a short potty walk after dinner. I prefer to visit for a meet-and-greet before scheduling any bookings, so that I can get to know you and your pet. I only board or provide doggy day care for dogs who get along well with other dogs, as they will be spending their time with my dog Leroy as well. I like to have an in-depth understanding of their typical daily schedule, so that I can stick to it closely during our time together. My goal is for your pet to be as comfortable and stress-free as possible, which to me means sticking to their usual routine and activities. I will follow your directions to a tee, and be in contact with updates regularly to keep you informed. If I'm house sitting, dog walking, or doing drop ins, I am happy to care for non-social pups as well. I'll treat your space with the utmost care and respect.
About: Always had a love of animals cats and dogs. Pets are all lovable in their own fun and unique ways. I would one, guarantee your pet friends are looked after with the most care and attention and two keep, in close contact with you providing updates and photos throughout 🐕🦺🐈⬛🐾 On the weekends I’m the most flexible both during the day and night. Weekdays I’d be available 4pm and after for walks, drop ins or stays. I can’t provide lodging at the moment but regarding drop in or stays I’d treat anyone and anyone’s home as I would friends and family.
About: I have been around dogs a big part of my life I am certified dog handler through Wileys Wish Rescue. Certified in K9 first aid. I trained my own service dog. I am available. I am new to this area and I would love to take care for and train dogs as a career.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Del Rey Oaks
We just moved to the area and on the lookout for an amazing ROVER for our golden retriever. We were blessed to find Jenna 💛 Dynamic personality and so so sweet, we all took to her right away! Jenna stayed at our house and took excellent care of everything. She went above and beyond with walks, pictures and updates. Very informative and communicative. So grateful for you! Thanks for being the best! We will definitely have Jenna back to hang with Pungo when we’re gone.
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!
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.
Slade and Sakina were able to come through for me when I was in a pinch and had a last minute trip to Puerto Rico. They sent me constant photos and it seemed like they genuinely cared for my dog. I would rebook 100%. They started in my home and left everything as I did.
Sofia housesat our two dogs for 16 nights. We initially met her months prior and we kept in touch monthly. A couple days prior, she came over for an hour and we went through all the instructions. While we were away, she regularly updated us and ensured we got home without delay. Sofia is very reliable, an effective communicator and provided us with invaluable peace of mind that our dogs and home was being taken care of. Thank you Sofia! We look forward to working with you again!
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!

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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!

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 .
