“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!”
“Karen was so sweet and took incredible care of our kitties. One of them especially takes awhile to warm up to strangers and they became friends in a short time! She was easy to communicate with and so easy going. Will definitely rebook her in the future.”
“Jordan did a fantastic job watching my kitties when I was away for the weekend. My cat was sick and I was very nervous about leaving him, but Jordan was super attentive and gave me thorough updates! I am so thankful she was able to help!”
“Don was amazing! He sent us regular updates and photos. He took great care of our little senior puppy, medications and all! We would definitely have him take care of Sissy again.”
“Joseph made our first time using rover easy and stress free. He sent us frequent updates and pictures to let us know how jazzy was doing. He went out of his way to do a meet and greet with us before our trip. Asked questions to make our experience a smooth one. Jazzy and her family are a Joseph fan for sure!”
“Nikki was amazing! She put my mind at ease the entire time I was away. I have an anxious pup (at times) and she did such a great job with him! My place looked spotless and perfect upon returning and my pup was happy and relaxed. Highly recommend Nikki and will hire her again!”
“Saudia is, in short, the BEST! We trust Saudia, we adore the way she cares for our pup Willow, and we really appreciate her expertise with dogs. Most recently, Saudia house and dog sat for us during some very stressful last minute travel - we were sooo grateful that we didn’t need to worry about Willow at all while we were away. We knew Saudia had everything under control and that Willow was having the best time. She sent the cutest pictures and videos. Highly recommend Saudia!! We love her!”
“Thanks so much, Lauren, for double dog duty this time! Super appreciated the detailed updates during an unexpected issue as well as your flexibility and adaptability throughout. As usual the house is in superb shape and I can barely tell you we’re even here! :-) We appreciate you soooo much!! Thank you for being a repeat trusted sitter in our home.”
“Tatiana was AMAZING. She watched a combined crew of four dogs & two cats during our family vacation, and took wonderful care of them. She was communicative, loving, took fantastic photos to keep us updated, and left our house in better shape than she found it. We highly, highly recommend her!”
“Lee was an awesome dog-sitter for our pup. He came over before we left to meet our dog and kept us updated as to how she was doing throughout our trip. Lee rocks, and I look forward to hiring him again!”
“Colette is fabulous! Oh, my gosh, my fur babies are so pampered by her!! She takes the time to get to know them and hang with them. She kept my place in excellent shape, and I am able to relax and enjoy my time away. When I get home, Kamina and Kiki are totally chill and happy. Just above and beyond in every way!!”
“Emilie is the perfect sitter for my cat Bunny! I really wanted to find someone who Bunny felt comfortable with and who I could trust to look after her, and I am so, so glad I found Emilie. Emilie has the best energy and they are kind, attentive, and caring to both my cat and the space. Having someone I trust in my home to look after my cat as well as the peace of mind I felt while I was away is deeply invaluable to me. And I love that Bunny now has a new friend! I just got home and Bunny is so relaxed and calm- it just reaffirms that choosing Emilie was the right and best choice. Already booked them for another weekend!”
“Gabriana was so sweet and thoughtful with our anxious pup! She was punctual and very communicative. Looking forward to having her take care of our pup again.”
“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!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Echo Park
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!
Melissa watched our animals and house sat for us. I made some mistakes in both my initial date requests and in some of the arrangements. Melissa not only took good care of the animals but was flexible and patient with us. I couldn't have asked for more. Highly recommend!
I'm so glad I found Tatiana! From the moment we met, she was kind, respectful, and had such a warm, friendly presence. She was incredibly patient with our dog, who is a big, anxious scaredy-cat, and gave plenty of love to our very social cat, who is happy with anyone willing to feed him. She followed all of my instructions, kept our home clean and tidy, and checked in every day with photos and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind while we were away. I never had to worry about our pets or our home because I knew they were in such great hands. I would happily book Tatiana again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter!
Lee was absolutely wonderful with our pets, especially our anxious boy over the 4th of July. He clearly understood how stressful the fireworks can be and went above and beyond by playing calming sounds for him whenever he left the house, which gave us so much peace of mind. He took excellent care of both of our pets, handled their medications with no issues, and kept our home spotless while we were away. His communication was the perfect balance: regular updates that kept us informed without being overwhelming. Lee is incredibly knowledgeable, thoughtful, and genuinely cares about the animals he looks after. We came home to two happy, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book with him again. Highly recommend!
Jessica took great care of our pups over the July 4th weekend. We were very nervous about fireworks, but she kept them, calm, safe, and having fun. She even went above and beyond when we needed two small house favors with deliveries. She’s very communicative, thoughtful, and sweet to our girls.
Nikki was amazing! She put my mind at ease the entire time I was away. I have an anxious pup (at times) and she did such a great job with him! My place looked spotless and perfect upon returning and my pup was happy and relaxed. Highly recommend Nikki and will hire her again!
Colette is my cats’ (and mine, too) favorite sitter! They are so chill with her from the moment she comes over, which blows my mind and is a huge relief. Her energy is a perfect match. They both immediately come and hang out with her with no hiding or spending time being aloof and unsocial. And Colette takes excellent care of my place and keeps me informed about everything going on. Not only that, the photos she gets of these two are wonderful! It’s so fun seeing them even tho I’m away! Colette is truly such a gift, and I recommend her at the highest level!
Isabel was thoughtful, responsible and communicative while she stayed in our home with our dog Satya for 9 days. Before the stay, Isabel took the time to visit the neighborhood and our home to meet Satya and to make sure she was well informed on how to care for her. During her stay, Isabel was very respectful of our home and she took great care of Satya, including sending regular updates and photos. We would be happy to work with Isabel again and would definitely recommend her pet care services to others!

FAQs for House Sitting - Echo Park
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Echo Park on Rover is $62.16 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 14,595 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Echo Park. On Rover:
- 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.
