“Alex took care of our dogs for over a week while were out of town. He is exceptional and went above and beyond what we had expected from a dog sitter/walker. Alex sent us photos/report cards of our dogs daily, and even made a few videos for us to enjoy of our dogs. We are so lucky to have found Alex and grateful for the excellent care he always provides to our dogs. Thank you 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!

About: I have grown up around dogs my entire life since I was a baby. My family has never been without more than one dog in our lives. I’ve always been in charge of medication or recovery after surgery for our pets. I started sitting in 2023 and have continued to do so for family and close friends. My daily schedule is pretty flexible as I currently take online classes this semester. I try to make all necessary appointments on the same day so as not to have a busy week/weekend. I usually let the owner(s) tell me any important information about their pets(s) while also asking about any behavior or habits that I should be aware of. Any medication that is required I write down to remember and prevent any possible mistakes.

About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 6 years and have had animals in my life for as long as I can remember. I have experience caring for puppies of all ages, as well as pets with different personalities, energy levels and needs. I understand that every pet is unique and I always take the time to get to know them and make sure they feel comfortable, safe and loved while you’re away. During the holidays can be hectic, so I’m available for those fur parents who need a helping hand during this time around the major holidays. Treating every pet with the same love and care I give my own is extremely important to me. I know how much our pets mean to us—they’re family and I want every pet in my care to feel safe, happy and loved. My goal is to make sure your furry family member feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away. If need be, I do have a fenced backyard with two friendly fur babies. I can also provide crate access as well for any reason.

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.

About: Relocated animal caregiver from Hawai’i looking for new families to support! Long time foster parent and special needs caregiver at Aloha Animal Sanctuary in Kaneohe, O’ahu. Where I was a caregiver weekly for over 6 years. Trained caregivers, lead tours and fostered Stevie the goat from his bottle and diaper days, Ducklee and Eve their ducks, Sushi a Polynesian Piglet and several quails. Also, was the overnight caregiver many times for the internet famous “Bala” abandoned baby goat on the hill before he got adopted. Have had long term relationships with common domestic pet owners to non traditional pet owners, such as pigs. Have had experience with after surgery care, senior pets, blind/deaf and administering medication. Happy to now bring that knowledge and care to OC. Currently working on some projects remote so my schedule is quite flexible at the moment. If my schedule changes I would schedule around commitments made and always update families for future scheduling. I am always open to abiding by the natural routine of the pets, mirroring as closely as instructed. I make sure to keep the environment clean, that rubbish and recycling are taken out and that the pets remain as comfortable and safe as possible.

About: I've taken care of all kinds of dogs, big and small, young and old. I have a lot of energy for playful pups, along with patience for grey-faced older ones. I've changed diapers and administered medicine in various vessels (food, treats, orally). I'm happy to go on walks and to give cuddles! If you have a kitty, my love is just as strong, but I know when to give them their space if wanted or needed! I'm a newly graduated UCSB alumni so I have plenty of time to take care of pets, which is honestly how I love to spend my time anyway. I prefer to spend as much time as possible with my clients' pets for the duration of my stay. I don't tend to leave for more than an hour or two to get food or run some quick errands. I am vigilant and attentive, especially in regards to any allergies such as bees.

Kelli went above and beyond for my (scaredy) cat, leaving her food in places she could easily access so she would easily eat from her hiding place. Her communication was very thorough and ongoing, including a friendly meet n greet where she won over my preschooler, daily texts, and a photo when my cat finally showed herself! Kelli is an excellent pet sitter who I can definitely recommend.

FAQs for House Sitting - East Whittier

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in East Whittier is $39 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $56 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 15,329 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 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in East Whittier. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.
