“Rooney joined me and my neurotic dogs for a 60 minute meet-and-greet walk: the dogs and I warmed to them instantly. My two boys are scrappy rescues with rough beginnings and Rooney's calm presence was very reassuring - I don't have any hesitation handing over the reins. The experience was better than perfect: 10 out of 5 stars.”
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.
“Talia took amazing care of my dog Margot while I dealt with a family emergency. She sent the sweetest photos, and always updated me on Margot’s anxiety levels which put me at ease while I was away. So glad to have found her!”
“Joseph was more than I could have hoped for. Came over for a meet-and-greet with my cat Poe, was super thorough about taking notes and asking questions. Every day I was gone, I received updates about how my senior cat was doing. Joe administered medications to him, fed him, kept him company, and was so polite and thoughtful throughout the entire process. I couldn't recommend Joe as a pet-sitter with more emphasis! An excellent person to look after your animal for a bit. An excellent all-around person, period.”
“Destiny was great with my dog, River! When I returned home, he was so happy and well adjusted while we were gone. She was on top it the whole time we were away by sending pictures and updates. I would highly recommend her for anyone looking for someone kind, attentive and responsible with their fury animal.”
“Jessica did a fantastic job looking after our dachshund. She provided regular updates including great photos and really went above and beyond keeping us in the loop for a 4 day house sit. Would absolutely work with her again and highly recommend.”
“Hannah was an absolute Godsend! She communicated often and beautifully.. took wonderful care of our home and kept our cats and dog happy and feeling loved.,! Thsnk you Hannah B!!”
“Ninon was so wonderful with our elderly, somewhat standoff-ish dog. She respected his space but made him feel very comfortable and we couldn't have asked for better care. Thank you Ninon!”
“Jennifer was fantastic looking after my two Bengal cats. She was punctual, extremely responsive and sent photos every day that showed me how comfortable the cats were with her. I’ll definitely be using Jennifer again.”
“We had Lauren over to watch our girl for the weekend- she was amazing! Stayed over and kept our pup company, left the house tidy, and sent updates throughout! Would absolutely recommend and will be using her again in the future ☺️”
“Rebekah was so great! My cat got sick while I was away, and Rebekah was very responsible, communicative, proactive, and generous regarding cleanup and monitoring my cat. I highly recommend.”
“Valeria took great care of our home and our 11yo old pup! Our pup is aging and needed a little more special care and Valeria was up for the challenge! She is communicative, kind, and prompt. We highly recommend her!”
“Veronica was amazing — very professional and really engaged well with our dog. I especially liked that they truly understood the breed of my dog. They were great!”
“Ly did an excellent job caring for my pups and my house! She was super flexible and provided updates and pictures while I was away. She is very caring and sweet with animals and you can tell has a very kind heart. I would highly recommend her if anyone is considering hiring her. I will absolutely hire her again in the future.”

Jacqueline took great care of my two cats while I was out of the country for a month. She consistently sent me picture and video updates and even helped to take care of their excess dandruff. Would recommend if you are looking for someone to take longer term care of your pets.
Natalie was great with my two dogs! She was very communicative and would check in frequently with updates and pictures. My dogs warmed up to her quickly and seems like they had a great weekend with her! I’ll definitely be asking Natalie back to watch my dogs whenever I’m out of town, would recommend her to any dog parent looking for a sitter!
Jessica took excellent, loving care of our dog and cat while we were out of the country for a week. She took many pics and shared frequent updates with us, and put our minds and hearts at rest that they were being taken care of wonderfully. Our worry now is that our dog and cat will miss her too much! We will not hesitate to recommend her services and call on her again. Thank you, Jessica!
Amanda house-sat and took care of Cricket while we were away on a long trip. Her daily photos and updates helped us feel secure and never worried. Cricket seemed to have a great time, and our apartment was cleaner when we got back than it had been when we left! Thanks Amanda :)
Ninon is our first rover choice. She is reliable, dependable, and wonderful with our dog. Would definitely rebook her and I would suggest you do too! She jumped in for us last minute when another rover person we booked with backed out with short notice. Our dog also has special needs and Ninon handled her beautifully! While she is more expensive than some others, you are paying for peace of mind with your animal while you’re away. I really don’t think I could have said the same with the other provider we had initially booked at a lower cost. So ultimately, that decision and Ninon are absolutely worth it.
Our first time booking Nico was a dream. He was super communicative and did everything to make sure we knew our big, fun husky Bruce was in good hands while we were away for a long weekend. He did a great job cleaning the apartment and gave us updates about anything important. We’ll definitely be booking Nico again!
Stephanie took great care of my 2 dogs while I was away for a couple of days! I was a little worried about Burrito because he is very skittish around new people. He eventually warmed up to Stephanie and was able to relax. She kept me updated with pictures and videos. I would definitely have her sit for me again! 😀
Jami was so wonderful staying in our home taking care of our cat and dog! She was friendly and communicative, sending cute photos of the animals and updates regularly on how everyone was doing. She left our home in beautiful condition! I would highly recommend her :)

FAQs for House Sitting - Echo Park
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Echo Park on Rover is $63 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 14,329 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 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.
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.
