“We are the obsessed dog owners with a senior dog - Soren - who’s really been struggling this year. Sarah is the only sitter we trust and she’s been flexible and supportive - plus gentle and thoughtful with Soren. We have meds, a strict schedule, and she’s diligent and dependable. She’s helped us have a bit more of a life again and we went on vacation - she handled him for a week and was communicative the whole time!”

About: I've been around cats and dogs my entire life, so being around animals has always felt natural to me. Although I'm new to professional pet sitting, I've had opportunities throughout my life to look after dogs for a few hours at a time. I enjoy spending time with animals, giving them attention, playing with them, and making sure they're comfortable and cared for. I'm excited to turn my lifelong love for animals into an opportunity to provide dependable, loving care for other people's pets. Although I don't currently have pets of my own, caring for animals is something I'd genuinely enjoy making part of my daily routine. I'd love the opportunity to spend time with cats and dogs, whether that means going on walks, playing, providing companionship, or making sure they're comfortable and well cared for while their owners are away. I'm prepared to plan my schedule around agreed-upon visits and care responsibilities so that each pet receives the time and attention it deserves. My priority is to make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. In a client's home, I'd follow the owner's instructions regarding feeding, walking, playtime, and any specific routines or needs their pet may have. I'd keep a close eye on pets during walks and playtime, use leashes and other safety equipment as instructed, and make sure doors and gates are secure. I believe communication and trust are essential, so I'd keep owners updated and let them know if I noticed anything unusual. Whether we're going for a walk, playing, or simply spending time together, I'd treat each pet with patience, kindness, and respect while being mindful of the owner's home and rules.

About: 🐾 I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and have grown up caring for animals of all kinds. In high school, I took three years of veterinary science classes and competed in veterinary science competitions through FFA (Future Farmers of America), where I developed a stronger foundation in animal care and handling. I also volunteered at animal shelters when I was younger, which gave me early experience working with animals in need of care and attention. Over the past couple of years, I’ve also gained experience around French Bulldog litters through my mother-in-law’s breeding program, helping out with puppies and becoming familiar with their care. At home, I currently care for my own puppy and two cats, so I’m very familiar with the patience, consistency, and attention that pets need every day. I know that every animal has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I love getting to know them and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, companionship, or attentive care while you’re away, I’d love to help give them the same care and affection I’d want for my own pets! Pet care is already a big part of my everyday life! I care for my own puppy and two cats, so I’m used to keeping up with feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, enrichment, and plenty of affection. I understand how important consistency and routine are for animals, and I make sure their needs are a priority throughout the day. I’m happy to work with each pet’s individual schedule and personality to help them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I tailor my care to each pet’s individual needs, personality, and routine! In a client’s home, I make sure pets have fresh food and water, a clean environment, plenty of playtime and enrichment, and lots of love and attention. I’m happy to follow specific feeding instructions, medication routines I’m comfortable administering, litter box maintenance, and any other care instructions provided by the owner. As a pet parent to a puppy and two cats, I understand how important it is to keep animals comfortable and maintain their normal routines, especially when their owners are away. I always prioritize safety, patience, and positive interactions, and I love sending updates and photos so owners can feel reassured that their pets are in good hands!

About: I worked at a dog daycare in LA for two years. I grew up around dogs and currently have two beautiful small dogs. I have fostered many dogs in the past and wound up adopting one of them. I currently work from home and have very flexible hours and schedule. I like to take my dogs out for walks and bathroom breaks every three hours. A long walk in the morning and night and shorter ones throughout the day. Having two dogs, we have a very pet friendly environment in our apartment. Furniture they can crawl and jump on. Multiple dog beds, tons of toys and treats. Extra dog bowls, leashes, poop bags. Everything to make your pet comfortable and their stay stress free and hopefully fun for them.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of all ages and personalities. Growing up with dogs and having a cat myself currently, I’m prepared for any walks, wags, purrs, and anything else your little ones throw my way. Available for extended stays, drop ins, and endless attention. I work from home most of the week and depending on if I am house sitting or just dropping in, my schedule is incredibly flexible to performing morning, afternoon, and evening check ins, walks, feedings, with ample time to play and give attention to your little ones to make sure they feel well taken care of while you’re away. Always follow any instructions provided and will probably pester with questions to make sure the care is exactly how you would give it. Stick to the schedule of feedings and beyond and always make sure your home is just as well looked after as they are.

Dibbs has had some recent health issues and not only does he do well with her, his health and spirits actually have improved each time on Sarah's watch. :) She's become our go-to sitter, we couldn't ask for a more reliable, kind, and comfortable companion for our beloved little guy.”

About: I’ve taken care my animals and others since I was 11. I had a dog and cat (Zeus and Blackula) that I had to recently give away after moving to California from Utah. I have experience taking care of family and friends pets like, dogs, cats, and hamsters so I understand the responsibilities of loving and caring for pets like I did my own. So hit me up if you need a reliable sitter for your animals. I’m currently unemployed so my availability is every day/time of the week except Sunday mornings. I’m also able to do late and overnights as well. For pet care, I provide many services such as walking, feeding, playing, and/or just chilling with your pet, however; I am only able to do in-client home service due to apartment not allowing pets.

About: I'm new to Rover, but very much not new to pets! I've volunteered with my local Humane Society, as well as worked for an overnight kennel service. In both of those situations, I was largely placed with dogs - giving them playtime, food, treats, and oral medication - although we also served cats. While kennels are an option, it's better to keep a pet in their own home whenever possible. Which is where I come in! I'm currently WFH so my schedule is flexible at the moment. [WALKS] I'm able to give walks in my service area from roughly 9am to 6pm. I can comfortably take up to 3 small dogs at a time, or two medium sized dogs. I'm open to walking large breeds (Labrador sized or bigger) if they are solo. If you have mixed sizes, please reach out and we'll talk about it. [HOME SITS] If your pet needs medication or walks either very early or very late, I recommend booking an overnight. I'm the farthest thing from a party animal and will guaranteed be indoors with your pet from 8pm to 7am. During the day, I will most likely be working (home office space a huge plus!) or stepping out for a few hours to run personal errands. If I have late night plans for any reason, I will clear it with you ahead of time. Will provide at least one update per day during my visit, including photos. We can also go over emergency plans and vet contact info during the meet-up.

About: New York transplant who just moved to the greater L.A. area. I, along with the rest of my roommates, am a young professional and have always had an immense love of dogs. I live in a new, dog-friendly building with my girlfriend and another dog-owing couple in which the majority of the other residents are other young professionals who own dogs as well. There is ample space spread out between the building courtyard and the surrounding block to take the animals out to walk and play. We have a dedicated cabinet in the kitchen for dog treats and items. I primarily work on the computer from home, so Rover is the perfect opportunity for me to work with some new friends in a wide-open open environment.

Five stars all the way! Lee took wonderful care of our puppy, Javi, for nine days, and we couldn’t be more grateful. Javi is a lovable little monster with plenty of puppy energy, and Lee handled all of it with so much patience, kindness, and grace. He kept Javi happy and occupied and our house intact!

Jami stayed at our home and took care of our Rottweiler Moose who has epilepsy and needs some extra care, including daily medication. She made sure that he got his medication even after he got an upset stomach the first day and became super difficult about eating / swallowing his pills. He ended up having a seizure one night and she remained calm and followed the emergency directions until he was ok, was extremely patient with him, and was communicative with us throughout the weekend. She was thorough with all her updates and even went the extra mile to wash towels and clean up the house upon her departure. We felt confident that Moose was being taken care of, and would definitely recommend her to watch your fur babies!

FAQs for House Sitting - Echo Park

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Echo Park is $64 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $122 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 14,367 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Echo Park. 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 Echo Park 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 Echo Park 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 Echo Park 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 , 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 .

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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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 Echo Park. On Rover:

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

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.
