About: I have over 10 years of hands on experience caring for animals including dogs, cats, and farm animals. I’ve cared for my own pets as well as pets belonging to family, friends, and neighbors, and I’m comfortable with animals of different sizes, personalities, and temperament. I also have firsthand experience caring for young puppies after my own dog had a litter, which taught me how much attention, patience, and care younger animals can require. What sets me apart is that I’m patient, attentive, and take the responsibility of caring for someone else’s pet seriously. I pay close attention to each animals behavior and wellbeing, follow the owners care instructions, and make sure their pet feels safe and comfortable. I’m also happy to provide regular updates so owners can have peace of mind while their pet is in my care. I’m currently a part-time student, so my schedule varies throughout the week, but I have plenty of flexibility to provide attentive and reliable pet care. I’m available for house sitting Friday–Sunday and for dog walks and drop-in visits Monday–Thursday. My hours may vary depending on the day, but I’ll always make sure I can accommodate your pet’s needs and routine before accepting a booking. For house sitting, I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine and any care instructions you provide to help them stay comfortable while you’re away. I’ll make sure they have fresh food and water, regular potty breaks, playtime and attention, and a clean and safe environment. I’ll also respect your home and make sure doors, gates, and other areas are properly secured. For dog walks, I’ll keep your dog safely leashed and pay close attention to our surroundings throughout the walk. I’ll follow any instructions you provide regarding their usual route, behavior around other dogs or people, and anything else I should be aware of to keep them safe and comfortable. For drop-in visits, I’ll check on your pet and take care of their needs according to your instructions, including feeding, refreshing their water, potty breaks, cleaning up after them, and giving them attention and playtime. I’ll also keep you updated on how your pet is doing so you can have peace of mind while they’re in my care.
“Best sitter ever! Olivia is kind, responsive and reliable... And most importantly, my dogs felt comfortable around her. Olivia sent videos and photo updates throughout the evening. This is my new go to person! 😊”
“We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Alexandrea. From the moment we met at the meet-and-greet to the moment we left for our trip, I felt completely at ease knowing our dog, Pipoca, was in her care. She was flexible, working with our flight schedule, and, most importantly, arrived right on time. She treated our home with so much respect, as if it were her own, and her communication throughout the stay was exceptional! She sent frequent updates and always checked with us before making any decisions outside of what we previously agreed on, along with so many adorable photos and videos throughout the day! She even took Pipoca along with her while running errands aka little adventures for our little one, kept her engaged, and it was clear from every update how happy and comfortable Pipoca was with Alexandrea. When we came home, the house was clean and Pipoca was relaxed and happy. I would not hesitate to book Alexandrea again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, communicative, reliable, and genuinely caring sitter.”
“Taylor did an amazing job watching my dog Bugsy. She was on time, followed instructions, kept me updated on how my dog was doing and was instantly a best friend and safe person for my anxious dog. I can’t wait to have Taylor watch Bugsy again :)”

“Karah is amazing, I highly recommend them! My dog was recently diagnosed with a spine issue and this is the first time I've left him with a sitter while he was having a flare up. Karah made me feel so comfortable, took excellent care of him, and was super communicative. Karah has such a calming, confident energy and it made my dog immediately at ease :)”

“Lindsey was fantastic with my 1 year old pup. My dog has a lot of energy and is very clingy and Lindsey showed so much concern and care for his well being. She took him on a ton of walks, played with him a bunch, and kept me updated throughout. I really appreciate how thorough and caring she is! She made sure to send me photos and videos, and kept me updated on his walks, how he slept, and his little quirks. My dog was so comfortable around her and was calm and tired upon me returning, so I can tell that Lindsey took exceptional care of him. I would recommend Lindsey wholeheartedly!”

About: I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from newborn puppies to adults. I helped care for my cousin’s six dogs from the time they were born, giving me puppy experience with routines, patience, and consistency I adopted a husky mix and actively follow a training plan that includes potty training, consistent daily walks, and learning extra commands. This has helped me develop strong skills in managing high energy dogs, maintaining routines, and providing both physical and mental stimulation. I’m attentive to proper feeding, food preparation, and allergy awareness, and I always follow each dog’s specific needs. I genuinely love dogs and enjoy their energy whether that means playtime, training reinforcement, or calm companionship. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I currently work part time, which gives me plenty of availability for pet sitting, drop-ins, and walks. I’m flexible with scheduling, and if you need a specific day or time, I’m happy to work with you to accommodate your needs. I prioritize consistency, reliability, and making sure each pet gets the time and attention they deserve. I care for pets based on their individual routines and comfort levels. In my home, pets receive structured feeding schedules, regular potty breaks, consistent walks, and dedicated playtime. If your dog is friendly, I do have a dog of my own who would love a new friend, but I always introduce pets slowly and safely. In a client’s home, I follow your pet’s established routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. My goal is to keep pets comfortable, happy, and stress-free by maintaining familiarity and providing attentive, loving care.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - East Los Angeles
I have two senior dogs who require special care, and they both have very different needs. Vivian was incredibly attentive, caring, and patient with both of them. She even administered medication to one of my dogs and hand-fed both of them when needed. This was my first time using a dog sitter, so I was definitely nervous and worried about leaving them. Vivian gave me peace of mind and made me feel much more comfortable knowing they were in good hands. I really appreciate how caring and attentive she was, and I would definitely recommend Vivian to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate sitter!
Megan is absolutely wonderful! My timid cat was instantly smitten with her. He usually hides. It's truly heartwarming to see them bond so quickly. She has such a special way with animals, creating a safe and loving environment. I highly recommend her services to any pet parent.
Jen was absolutely wonderful with Bogart. She is caring and compassionate and a lovely person! She cooked for him and was patient with Bogart's needs as an 18 year-old dog. She was sending me pictures and updates regularly and he was so peppy and happy after spending time with her. I know Bogart would love to spend time with her again!
Yureli and Kairo were awesome. They were in constant communication with us, sending daily pictures and videos and even offering to FaceTime so we could talk to our doggies. They were kind and attentive to the pups, taking genuine care and giving them lots of love. And they kept the apartment super clean, even going so far as to wash everything before they left. We will definitely be booking them again!
The best gift when you can't take your companions on a trip is to know someone will take care of them and give you a peace of mind. Ashley did. She is amazing and is a great communicator. I left behind a 14 year old blob and a 6 years skittish lab and I was worried about the younger pup. It was the 14 year old senior that kept Ashley up at night. Ashley kept me posted on the situation, we kept the communication open to make sure Hunter is ok. Things happened but the best way to know how awesome your substitute is, is to experience their problem solving ability. Ashley got everything under control. I highly recommend Ashley and would love to get her help again. She is definitely more than 5 stars rating.

FAQs for House Sitting - East Los Angeles
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in East Los Angeles on Rover is $53.5 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 15,132 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across East Los Angeles. 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 Los Angeles 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 Los Angeles 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 Los Angeles 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 Los Angeles. 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.
