“Amy did a wonderful job with our four dogs! All of them have specific needs and she met every one while we were away for the weekend. We came home to a clean house and happy dogs! We will certainly rebook with Amy!”
“Tracy was absolutely wonderful! Our pets loved her and she took great care of both them and our home. She left our home clean and even took care of an ant infestation we had while we were away! She sent us updates with pictures of how the pets were doing while we were away. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for an excellent sitter for their pets!”
“We were SO grateful to have found Chloe. She is a great “baby”-sitter. She sent us so many cute pictures of the girls. Our girls were very comfortable with her. We had them with another sitter recently (and our dogs came back very stressed). With Chloe, we came back to happy healthy dogs! Lots of pictures of our anxious girl who doesn’t trust anyone else sleeping her usual “belly up” position which she only does when she feels safe. And a few sweet cuddle photos just after a day. On a practical note - she respected our house & our boundaries which was very appreciated. Followed all the routines. Took them on walks. We are very picky & we have full faith that you can trust her with your pets 😊”
“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!”
“We have rebooked Kayla multiple times because she not only great with our cat and dog but she also keeps us updated consistently. Getting photos and videos throughout the trip always helps us relax even more! Plus the pets are so excited to see her every time. Will Rebook soon!”
“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.”
About: Hello! My name is Layla and I am currently a full-time college student with extra time on my hands, my schedule can be extremely flexible on the days that I am available. I feel being a pet sitter suits me because a. I love animals, b. I’m very attentive and organized, and c. Earning a wage by hanging out/taking care of your fur babies sounds like a dream! I currently have two big dogs and one cat that I care for almost every day. I take the dogs for walks, play fetch with them, and take them out to go potty. I love spoiling my cat with new stimulating toys, cat trees, and lots of cuddles 🥰 I’m currently a full-time student with some spare time, a part-time job seems too much for me to handle while also engaging in school. I adore animals and it would be amazing to earn money while spending time and caring for them 🥲 A list offered of how you want me to care for your pet is preferred. I understand pets can have different quirks and I’m totally adaptable to anything that’s thrown at me. I love animals and their unique personalities! I’d like to follow your routine to care for your animal, just like you never left!
“We absolutely loved having Alyssa as a sitter! We have one senior dog that needs a lot of care and a puppy so they can be a lot and she handled it all so well and communicated everything to us that really allowed us to relax and actually leave home for once. Cannot say thank you enough.”
“Britney is amazing, her promptness, attention to detail made my experience wonderful, i could see her experience with Freeway.I will definitely use her services again and definitely recommend her…”
“Veronica was so sweet, communicative and sent SO MANY photos of my dog which i really appreciate! I highly recommend her for anyone looking for a fun, communicative and overall wonderful sitter!”
“Holly was an amazing dog sitter. She constantly kept me updated on the status of my puppies as I enjoyed the day with my family in Disneyland. My puppies are only four months old, too young to be with other dogs and be outside. Holly watched them in our hotel suite because of that. I live in Northern California and it was nice to have someone who cared for my puppies like I would. I highly recommend hiring Holly and I will definitely retain her services in the future.”
“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.”
“Jennifer came and took care of our very fearful Belgian Malinois Sophie while we were visiting family for Thanksgiving. Jennifer did a great job with Sophie. It took Sophie a day and a half or so to warm up to Jennifer which is as good as we can expect from our fearful dog. Jennifer was patient with Sophie and gave Sophie enough distance and time to get comfortable with a new person in the house. Jennifer communicated well with us and took our advice on how to deal with our difficult dog to heart.”
“Katrina has been so wonderful to us. Ben loves having her company & we love the peace of mind of having her home with him when we're away. As usual, she's very reliable, friendly, easy to communicate with, and we'll continue to use her services.”
“Kaylynn stayed overnight and took wonderful care of my two BIG strong breed dogs- Pitt Bull and Bull terrier. —-she loves animals! Also took great care of my home and cleaned dogs dishes. Highly recommend her.”
About: Hi! My name is Elizabeth, but you can call me Liz. I grew up with both cats and dogs, so caring for animals has always been a part of my life. I’ve also pet sat for family friends over the years, giving me experience caring for pets while their owners are away. I’m organized, dependable, and a strong communicator. I understand how important it is to know your pet is in good hands, so I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos to give you peace of mind. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I’ll make sure they receive the care and attention they deserve. I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family and always aim to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free environment. My goal is to make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable and confident while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! 💬 Communication will stay on the app to ensure safety of the client, their pet, and sitter. As a substitute teacher, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to accept pet care requests on many afternoons, evenings, weekends, holidays, and school breaks. Since my work schedule can vary from day to day, I do my best to keep my calendar updated and communicate promptly about my availability. Whether your pet needs a quick drop-in visit or consistent care while you’re away, I’m organized, reliable, and committed to making sure they receive the attention and care they deserve. I always care for pets as if they were my own. In a client’s home, I do my best to maintain their pet’s normal routine by following feeding schedules, providing fresh water, giving them plenty of attention, and making sure they get the exercise or playtime they need. I also keep their living area clean and tidy and provide regular updates so owners know how their pet is doing. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, so I take the time to earn their trust and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.
“On a scale of 1 to 10, Tommy is an 11! He took such careful care of our babies while we were in town for a family trip. He paid attention to each of our pup’s individual needs and just was so mindful about everything! We will DEFINITELY work with him again and we HIGHLY recommend him!”
“Kat has always been great and my 14 yr old dog just loves her. My dog is still very active and loves her walks in Bellevue Park. I know she is getting lots of belly rubs and Kat makes sure she stays healthy while I am away on long trips.”

She was absolutely incredible! Watched our cat and dog with the upmost care! Kept me updated every day and let me know if anything was up with the pets and even our home! And the fur babies just loved her company! Made them feel very comfortable and safe! Played with them, walked and fed in a timely manner. Just hands down one of the best sitters! Highly recommend hiring her!!
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.

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.
<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 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 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 Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
