“Big thanks to Olivia for her attentive and detailed care of our very particular senior yorkie dog. It is hard for us to leave him in anyone else’s care but she was willing to work with us to come stay in our home with him while we were away. She sent pictures and videos multiple times every day. He seems to have had zero problems with her and we are so grateful. We would certainly reach out to her again if needed in the future.”
“Megan was great. She came over to meet our dog, had a lot of great questions and felt completely trust-worthy. We received a lot of pictures, she checked in a lot which we appreciated, and was very communicative. We already booked her again! :)”
“Jehiny was available pretty last minute and made me feel so safe and secure leaving my foster dog at home alone. She sent timely updates, shared pictures, and gave us some suggestions for some difficult situations we were having with the foster. I will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Don is very responsive and dependable. It was our first time leaving our dog with someone else without either of us there . Everything was well tended to, including our two cats. Would definitely recommend.”
About: I’ve worked with Animals since I was about 10 with my own Pets and taking care of others. I love animals and I even wish to become a zookeeper in the future. So taking care of animals is what I love to do. I have a pretty flexible and open schedule. I like to be active so I can handle a high energy dog and I have a high energy dog. But I can also be lazy and lay down and slow things down for lazier dogs. I have a fenced gate with a big yard and I can watch them through the glass. I can do baths if needed I have toys and I can walk them and play with them so they can get lots of interaction.I allow dogs in my house. I do have a German shepherd but I’m able to have separate areas so dogs do not have to interact or be aware of each other
“Gabriana was so sweet with our anxious pup and met all of her specific needs. Gabriana also went above and beyond taking care of our home. We are very much looking forward to booking her again in the future!”
“Súper professional and accommodating. Needed a sitter last minute for Mother’s Day and Josh went above and beyond. Very good about communicating updates. Handled giving my dog Vida her pill. & just all around a kind and caring guy! Definitely will book with him again.”
“Brenna was great! She watched my two big dogs at my house and did an awesome job. I received lots of updates and photos, and she was very patient with my dogs who didn’t want to go outside to potty during the recent rainstorms. My home was just as clean and tidy as when i left! I would definitely have her dog and house sit again. Thanks, Brenna!”
“Avery house and dog sat for us for almost 3 weeks, which is the longest I’ve ever been away from my dogs. I was very nervous to be leaving them behind for so long, but Avery’s professionalism and communication made it much easier than I was expecting. She sent daily updates and photos so I felt sure from the start that not only were the dogs being kept safe, but also that they were being given lots of love and affection. She followed all of our instructions for keeping up with their regular routines, and she had zero issues dealing with their sometimes naughty behavior. We came home to 2 very happy and healthy looking dogs, and our house was spotless. It was obvious she made an effort to clean thoroughly and leave all as it was before we left. So grateful we found Avery. I highly recommend trusting her with your pets!!”
“Gissell was great with my 4 month old puppy. She is friendly, easy to communicate with and cares about the pets. My puppy loves her and was always happy to see her. She kept me updated about my puppy throughout the stay which made me feel very much at peace. I'll definitely have her sit my puppy again.”

Throughout the day, we make sure our pets receive plenty of attention, love, and consistency with meals, bathroom breaks, and downtime. One of us works from home, and the other is a full-time pet sitter, so we have plenty of flexibility in our schedule to build our days around our pets' needs and routines. When we are caring for pets in our home, we treat them like part of the family. We have dedicated spaces to make sure they have access to cozy spots to relax, fresh water, and regular meals. We also dedicate parts of our day to lots of playtime, cuddles, and company. We pay attention to their moods and comfort levels, so they feel safe and loved in ways they enjoy while they’re with us. If we're caring for a pet in a client’s home, we always follow their routine closely to help the pet feel secure and keep things familiar. We take care to keep their home neat, stick to feeding and walk schedules, and send regular updates so owners know their pets are happy and in good hands.
About: I’ve grown up with pets and have had pets most of my life. I had a Labrador for 6 years and a Chihuahua for 5. I’ve also had two cats for 3 years, and I’ve raised all my pets since they were little puppies and kittens. I love pampering my pets and I’d love the opportunity to pamper yours! I am currently studying at an online college so I have a lot of flexibility with scheduling pet care into my schedule. I just need 2 days notice of when to arrive so I can plan things out. My approach varies depending on the temperament of the pet (if they are high energy, low energy, timid, etc). If they are high energy and comfortable I’m happy to play with them and let them burn that energy off, if they’re lower energy or timid I’m happy to keep an eye on them and give them their space.
About: I've taken care of pets since I was 13. Friends and family rely on me to feed, walk, and play with them. I enjoy training them tricks, and they enjoy cuddling, scratches, and rubs! I have some free days to head to the park for walks and exercise. I'm Available mornings to evenings for fun adventures with your pups! I have a fenced home with lots of space to run around, and I can easily bring your Doggos inside or let them out in the backyard. I also know of the best parks to visit with them for walks.
About: I have had dogs and cats my entire life and have taken care of many friend and family dogs and cats. I generally love to spend time with dogs and cats. I love to give them attention, cuddles, and of course belly rubs. I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time to take care of your fur babies. I can house sit anytime between Thursday and Monday. I can walk and check in on your fur baby as many times as needed. I will follow any house rules and general rules you have for your fur baby. I will give your pet all the attention they require and keep them to their routines and habits. You can trust that your pet will be well taken care of while you are away.
“Abby stayed with Wendell, our high anxiety pup (actually an 11 yo dog), for a week. He was comfortable with her & did not have any anxious moments. She was able to help him feel calm while we were away. We appreciate her help & will definitely ask for her again.”
“Mahalia is the best sitter of all time. I have have 10+ through rover, and they all do fine, but Mahalia went above and beyond to ensure everything was great from day 1 to the end of my travels. My dog is selective, and she passed every test 10x. I will be using her on every trip she’s available for me!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - East Los Angeles
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.
Briana was punctual, friendly, and most of all great with our pets. Our dogs and cat are our children and their care and happiness is of the utmost importance to us. Briana was receptive to our requests and our dogs’ schedule, which is important as one of our dogs has a seizure disorder and requires just a little extra care and attention. Being able to go out without needing to worry that our pets are in good hands means everything to us, and Briana provided us with that peace of mind. Would definitely recommend and book again!
We really enjoyed Crystal and would have her watch our animals again. We had our dog stay at my mother's house in Monterey Park along with my mother's cat. Before the booking began she came and met with us at the house to meet the animals and get the routine. That was really reassuring. Crystal cared for both animals. She house sat for us for 6 nights, fed the cat and dog and also walked our dog. Our dog was afraid to be walked at first so Crystal let her chill, did not pressure her and by day 3 our dog walked with her. All the while Crystal was communicating about our dog's situation which was really nice. She sent pictures and gave updates and responded to our messages promptly. She had great prices and our dog and cat are very happy.

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 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 15,316 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.

- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
