“Alexis was absolutely wonderful with the dogs, on time, and very reliable. We maintained excellent communication before, and while he looked after our pets. Alexis was very accommodating, pleasant, respectful, trustworthy, and would choose him 100000% every time I would need to trust someone to look after my fur babies. Very, very happy ???”


“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.”

“Tracy is the best. We had to book a last minute trip due to a death in the family and it was so awesome to know that our babies would be so well looked after while we were away. As always the house was in perfect condition, and most importantly, Lilly, Daisy, and Lucy were very content and happy on our return. I could tell they didn't miss us too much, because Tracy is so fun and loving with them. She is our go to person for any trips and pet sitting needs.”

“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!”

About: I grew up with and cared for all kinds of pets, even farm animals! I currently have 3 cats and 2 puppies. I've also cared for pets in clients homes as a caregiver. I'm currently doing school online so I have a lot of free time to hang out with your fur baby and a flexible schedule for consistency. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routines, and needs. Whether that means long walks, playtime, cuddles, or quiet companionship, I adjust my care to what makes your pet happiest.

“Angela is great. She pet-sat my baby with great care. My dog has weak, rare legs, and Angela brought her heating mat for him. She updated me on my dog daily. I highly recommend her.”

About: I’ve loved and cared for animals my entire life. From my own pets to those of friends, family, neighbors, and clients, I’ve always been someone people trust with the animals they love most. I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages, including puppies, kittens, seniors, and pets who need extra patience and attention. I’ve raised cats, cared for a litter of kittens from birth until they found their forever homes, and have also had the privilege of being there for several dogs during their final chapter of life. It was an honor to provide comfort, companionship, and a peaceful presence during such a meaningful transition. I believe every pet is unique, with their own personality, routines, and ways of feeling safe and happy. I take the time to understand what each animal needs, whether that means walks, playtime, quiet companionship, medication reminders, or extra cuddles. My daughter, the only other person in our home, works in veterinary medicine, so animals are truly a part of our everyday life. Your pet will be welcomed into a calm, loving environment and treated with the same kindness, patience, and respect I would give my own. I currently work part-time, which allows me flexibility and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I am available for boarding on weekends and can accommodate weekday care depending on your pet’s needs. I enjoy creating a calm routine with plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and affection so your pet feels happy and secure. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, loving environment where pets receive individual attention and care. I have experience with pets of different ages, personalities, and needs, and I understand the importance of following each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, exercise, routines, and special care. My daughter, who is the only other person who lives in my home, works in the veterinary field, so our household has an added level of knowledge and awareness when it comes to animal health and wellbeing. I will treat your pet like part of my own family and keep you updated so you can feel confident while you’re away.
“Kelli was fantastic. We needed to find someone quickly and Kelli responded. We are so happy that she did. She took excellent care of our little man and provided regular updates. She obviously loves dogs and was such a professional. We will definitely use her again.”

About: I’ve been around dogs for as long as I can remember and have had dogs in my life since I was 5 years old. I’ve cared for everything from energetic puppies to senior dogs, and I genuinely love spending time with them. Over the years, I’ve owned multiple dogs and have experience caring for up to 4 dogs at once. Whether it’s going for walks, playtime, feeding, or making sure each dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved, I treat every dog as if they were my own. I currently work from home, so if your dog is staying with me, I’ll be home throughout the day to provide plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship. If you’re booking dog walking or drop-in visits, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to stop by reliably and ensure your pet receives the care they need. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in a quiet cul-de-sac in a townhome with a fully fenced private patio. My home is equipped with exterior security cameras, as well as an indoor camera that overlooks the main living area for added peace of mind. I enjoy taking dogs on walks through my quiet neighborhood, and there’s also a large fenced park nearby for exercise and play. If your dog is crate-trained, I’m happy to accommodate that routine, and I also have a spare room available if they would benefit from having their own quiet space to relax.
“Sarah was wonderful! She took care of my three furry babies while we were out of town for a few days. After meeting with her prior the sit I knew they would be in good hands and we left town with peace of mind. I have an energetic puppy, a senior dog with mobility issues and a bossy bunny. Sarah was able to tend to their specific needs. She is detail oriented, communicative and well organized. I would definitely book her services again!”

“Olivia is the best dog sitter in town! Truly a gem! We were so blessed to have Olivia care for our Teddy while away on a 6 day vacation to Hawaii. She was always available and provided all of Teddy’s needs. I can’t express my gratitude with just words. She went above and beyond caring for our Teddy while away. Teddy has found a new best friend in Olivia. My trip was care free because I left my pup in good hands. Theres nothing better than to have peace of mind that my Teddy was being fed, walked and played with daily. I recommend Olivia for your furry friend. You will not be disappointed. Thanks again Olivia! 🐶”

“Amanda is amazing! She is always prompt, always responds very quickly, and I had an immediate sense of trust at the first meeting, and most importantly, she loves my dog. She stayed at the house for three days while I attended a conference, provided updates, asked questions when in doubt, and watched over our pets and the house. She was professional yet friendly, I will gladly ask her to come back the next time we go out of town!”

“I booked Bethany during my travel out of the country and I can't say enough good things about the care my dog received! She is a phenomenal pet sitter. She communicated clearly, kept me updated with adorable photos, and did a wonderful job following my dog's daily routine. I could tell my pup felt completely comfortable and well taken care of. Highly recommend and will book again.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - East Whittier
This was our first time ever hiring a dog sitter, and we honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience! From the moment she met our dogs, they loved her, which made us feel so much better about leaving them. She took amazing care of both of our dogs, played with them, and treated them like they were her own. She stayed at our house while we were away, took great care of our home, and kept us updated with messages and pictures the whole time. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. We came home to two happy dogs, and it was obvious they were well loved and cared for. We would absolutely hire her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy, and reliable dog sitter. We already know who we’ll be calling the next time we go out of town!

Kelli did an amazing job with my senior fur baby. She was great about keeping me updated and sending pictures. She also was very respectful and kept my house neat and tidy. She cleaned up after herself and left everything as if she had never been there. I will definitely use her services again!

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!

First time using Rover and I needed someone to house-sit and watch my dog, Rigby, overnight. I had a fantastic experience with Jessica! We did a meet and greet beforehand, which really put me at ease. She had great communication throughout and was so kind in answering all my questions. I’ll definitely be booking with her again—thank you, Jessica!

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.
Sara does a fantastic job caring for Suki during her housesitting. She always provides detailed updates and pictures to let me know that she’s happy and safe highly recommend Sarah to care for your pup. In addition, she ensures to clean up after herself and leave the house exactly how it was when she arrived.

Katya did a nice job . She had good rapport with Cassidy as well as taking good care of her.She also took care of my tortoise. She left the house clean and tidy. I really appreciated the care she took of my senior dog with the intricate feeding schedule I have for her.

FAQs for House Sitting - East Whittier
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in East Whittier on Rover is $38.15 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 15,529 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across East Whittier. 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 Whittier 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 Whittier 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 Whittier 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
- 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.
