“I am so grateful to Ms. Sofia for taking such a good care of our Milo and Tyson. We were desperate for someone, at the last minute, to house sit them for 4 days. She has shown great responsibility with our home and our fur babies. They loved her! Sofia updated us every few hours with quick text and pictures. She walked them, played with them and fed them as according to our instructions. It is rather nerve wracking to trust one with your home and animals that you adore, but she has gone and above and we will continue to book her. Thank you Sofia for all your care and love for Tyson and Milo! You are their new best friend!”
“Britney was amazing house sitting with Cleo. She followed all directions and requests and was very communicative. There was an issue when a construction crew broke a gas main near my home, and the police came to the door saying residents needed to evacuate! I was a wreck but Britney was so calm and collected and kept me updated. Most importantly, she kept herself and my pup safe! I cannot recommend her enough, especially if you are nervous leaving your dog like I am!”
“Amy was great with Rosie. In her notes to me, I could tell that Amy understood Rosie’s personality and habits, which reassured me that they were getting along (and doing what Rosie prefers). Amy was in contact with me daily and provided photos. She met with me and Rosie a few times before she house-sat for us, which helped my dog and me feel more comfortable. Amy is a wonderful pet sitter & I recommend her.”
“We love Alex! Alex takes beautiful care of our fur babies and tortoise and our home. We never have to worry, they are in great hands while we are away. Alex sends wonderful photos and makes recommendations that we greatly appreciate. We highly recommend Alex.”
“Tracy was wonderful. Our dog (Great Dane) was very comfortable with her and well taken care of. She was responsive, sent pictures throughout her stay and will definitely be using her services again. 5 stars!!”
“Kayla was wonderful! She is incredibly professional and maintains detailed communication before and during the stay. There was no question that our dogs enjoyed their time with her and all their needs/wants were met. Highly recommend and cannot wait to work with Kayla again in the future.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! From start to finish, the experience was seamless and stress-free. Our dogs were clearly loved, well cared for, and comfortable the entire time we were away. Communication was excellent—we received regular updates, photos, and reassurance, which made such a difference. It’s obvious how attentive, patient, and genuinely caring they are with animals. Our dogs stuck to their routine, were happy when we got back, and our home was left clean and exactly as we left it. That level of care and professionalism means everything. We would absolutely trust them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and responsible sitter. Thank you for taking such amazing care of our pups—we’re so grateful! 🐶💛”
About: I have lived with dogs my entire life. Since the day I was born I have never been without a dog. I often watch my own dogs and help out friends and family when they need it. I have worked and lived with all sizes and sorts of canines. I love dogs and am willing to accommodate whatever your dog needs! I am currently studying Zoology at UCSB and love to work with animals! I am working part time, but that won’t stop me from giving all the love I can to your pet! As someone who’s been with dogs her entire life, I know how to attend to the small things dogs need. Depending on your dog’s needs, I will adapt to whatever needs to be done.
“Angela is amazing! She houses sat and watched my Honey for 3 days while we were out of town. She kept us updated morning and night and sent lots of photos. Thank you Angela for spoiling our baby.”
About: I have taken care of many dogs of all sizes throughout my life. I have trained puppies, as well as cared for senior dogs in the past. I have always cared deeply for dogs and always want to make sure all their needs are met. I would love to be a sitter for your fur baby and provide a safe and loving environment for them. I have very open availability and would love to spend this time with your fur babies. I am currently free everyday and will always try to work with your schedule if you let me know ahead of time. I provide care for pets by meeting their basic needs. I have food, toys, and a big backyard for them to run around in. If I am in a clients home, I will use what they provide to me, but am also able to take my own doggy bags for when I take them on walks. I am always respectful of the owners homes and want to provide the best service for their pet.
About: Hi, I’m Elaina! With a lifelong love for animals and over fifteen years of experience caring for pets, and a special love for senior dogs - I’m passionate about providing the best care possible. As someone with a corporate background who traveled frequently, I understand how difficult it can be to find someone truly reliable to care for your pets. That experience inspired me to start a dog walking and pet care service grounded in trust, consistency, and genuine attention. I know how important it is to have someone who treats your pet like family - someone who shows up on time, follows instructions, and makes your pet feel comfortable in your absence. Whether you’re at work, away on business, need an extra hand, or taking a well-earned break, I’m here to make sure your pet gets the love and care they deserve that I once searched for myself. You’ll get photo updates, peace of mind, and the comfort of knowing your pet is in caring hands. Pet care is a meaningful part of my daily routine, even with a full-time day job. Monday through Friday, I’m available for walks and check-ins before 7 a.m. and after 5 p.m., and I make it a priority to give each pet the attention, exercise, and companionship they need. On weekends, I’m an open book with much more flexibility for visits and extended care. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and treat every visit with the same care and commitment as if they were my own. Eventually, I’d love to create a more flexible schedule that allows me to care for pets more frequently while still managing my day job - it’s a passion I’m excited to continue growing. When caring for pets in a client's home, I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent as possible. I familiarize myself with their feeding schedules, exercise habits, and any specific care instructions you may have. I aim to maintain a stress-free environment for your pet by following the same level of attention and affection they are used to in their own space. I am respectful of your home, ensuring it stays tidy and organized while I provide excellent care for your pets.
“Maggie took great care of our pups while we were on vacation for 5 days. She walked them daily gave them lots of love and provided lots of photos and communication. We will definitely hire her in the future. Thank you Maggie!”
“V did such an amazing job watching my baby. She was super communicative and sent me tons of pictures! He looked so happy and was in a great mood when I got home (: will definitely book with her again and highly recommend her!”
About: I love dogs and dream about getting my own. I’ve pet-sat for families since I was 10 and grew up with my two Goldendoodles, who I absolutely adore and consider my babies, named Olive and Cedar! I’m comfortable with daily walks, playtime, feeding routines, medications, and making sure pets feel safe, loved, and cared for while their owners are away. I naturally connect with animals and treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m reliable, attentive, and love being active with dogs—whether that’s going on walks, giving them attention, or just making sure they feel comfortable and happy. I currently work 1–2 days per week at the hospital as a pediatric oncology CNA, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. On my days off, I’m available for dog walks, drop-in visits, and overnight stays. I’m able to be consistent with routines like feeding, walks, and playtime, and I enjoy spending my free time being active and caring for animals. My schedule allows me to be reliable and fully present when I’m caring for pets. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walk times, medication needs if applicable, and any specific care preferences the owner has. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and exercise, especially walks for dogs to help them stay happy and calm while their owners are away. I also focus on creating a safe, clean environment and making sure pets feel secure and not stressed in their owner’s absence.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - East La Mirada
We had a wonderful first-time experience using Rover, and we feel so lucky to have found Amy. She provided frequent updates and photos of our fur baby—just enough to reassure us that he was doing well and give us peace of mind while we were on vacation. Amy truly went above and beyond. She spent quality time cuddling with him, took him on extra walks, and even kindly took out the trash for us. We will definitely be booking Amy again in the future and highly recommend her to our coworkers and friends!
Marketta has been wonderful! We have had her come over twice and we will definitely use her the next time we go out of town. Our dog Gracie loves her and was so happy to have her here while we were gone. when we got back she was a very happy and a well taken care of doggie.
Hye took wonderful care of my dog Alec for four nights, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She was communicative, reliable, and clearly very attentive to Alec’s needs the entire time. I really appreciated the updates and photos. It made me feel confident that he was happy, comfortable, and in great hands while I was away. When I got home, Alec was relaxed and clearly well cared for, which says everything. Hye is kind, responsible, and clearly loves animals. I would absolutely trust her to watch Alec again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable sitter.
We had a fantastic experience with Lauren, who stayed in our home for a full week. Our dogs were happy, relaxed, and clearly very well cared for while we were away. We loved receiving regular updates and photos—it gave us so much peace of mind. Our home was left clean and well cared for, and communication was excellent from start to finish. It was clear our dogs were treated with genuine care and attention. We have had several past bookings with Lauren and have several more booked in the future. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, dependable Rover sitter.

We recently learned about Rover, and until then it had been difficult for us to travel as a family. Thanks to her, we were able to enjoy a wonderful trip. Jennifer is very charming and kind. She checked in on our pets and made sure they were comfortable, and she willingly accepted our requests even while we were traveling. She also kindly sent us photos of them every day. She took great care of our home and kept everything very clean, which we truly appreciated. Thank you so much.
Giselle was absolutely wonderful!!! I was really nervous to leave our Hazel bully for a whole week. Giselle took excellent care of her , kept us updated daily with cute photos and allowed us to really enjoy our family vacation. When I came back the house was clean and I could tell Hazel had been well loved. Thank you Giselle. You are awesome!

FAQs for House Sitting - East La Mirada
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in East La Mirada on Rover is $42.8 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 15,518 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across East La Mirada. 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 East La Mirada 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 East La Mirada 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 East La Mirada 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 East La Mirada. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
