“Sandy is so caring and attentive! My dog took to her so quickly which left my mind at ease after leaving him for the weekend. I will definitely be booking Sandy again in the future. Thank you for everything! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Lee is a fantastic dog sitter. He helped us last minute when we decided to extend our vacation by 3 nights. When we came home, our dogs were happy to see us but also a little sad to see Lee go. They will be glad when he comes back to dog sit again! Thanks Lee!!!”
“Thomas was fantastic. He is genuinely warm animal loving person. He was sending me the pictures of my dogs constantly and updating me how they are doing. He is like a good dog daddy.”
“Had a great experience with Joseph house sitting my Gigi. He was a great communicator, asked all the right questions, and provided consistent updates. Most importantly - Gigi loved him & had a fun weekend! Will definitely use Joseph in the future.”
“Cheyenna did such a great job caring for our home and our kitties while we were away! She gave great updates and sent pictures daily, and you can tell that she genuinely cares about taking great care of the pets in her charge! We will absolutely be using her again in the future!”
“Ashley generously agreed to stop by for a meet-n-greet prior to watching our dog, Dash. She is knowledgable about dog handling. She has experience with larger dogs and reactive dogs. She was warm and friendly with Dash. She was a good listener and asked good questions. On the evening she watched Dash, everything went smoothly. Ashley was on time and took great care of Dash. We came home to a happy dog and a clean house. We would definitely hire Ashley again.”
“Liency was very kind. She listened to all of our dog/home needs and wrote them down with intentionality. Kept our home clean, and even left us some yummy homemade pumpkin bread for thanksgiving :'). Our dog is a senior rescue and it seems she was very cautious and intentional to make our dog feel safe and warm up to her naturally. She asked if we wanted and sent us photos regularly which I really loved.”
“Jordan is fantastic. She Cared for our dog ( who likes lots of human contact) and cat (who doesn’t) While staying in our condo for the weekend. We received lots of pictures and updates and knew our babies were in good hands. We already have her booked for another trip in a few weeks. Thanks, Jordan!”
“Elizabeth is a kind and steady pet keeper. She listens carefully to instructions, feeds and potty manages pets, and keeps excited pups calm. She takes feedback positively.”
“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.”
About: I have over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I’ve regularly pet-sat for friends and family, fostered animals, and provided attentive care for pets of all ages. I’m comfortable administering medications and following specific routines to ensure pets feel safe and well cared for. I’m also able to stay multiple days with pets when needed. I currently have a 15-year-old dog, so I’m especially patient, attentive, and experienced with senior pet care. I treat every animal like my own and prioritize comfort, consistency, and love. I work fully remote, which allows me to be flexible with my location and spend plenty of time with the pets I’m caring for as long as I have internet access. My job isn’t overly demanding, so I’m able to give pets consistent attention throughout the day, including feeding, walks or playtime, medication, and companionship. This flexibility allows me to easily stay multiple days with pets and maintain their normal routines while their owners are away. I care for pets by prioritizing consistency, comfort, and attention to their individual needs. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, medications, walks or playtime, and any specific instructions provided by the owner. I make sure pets feel safe and comfortable in their environment by giving them plenty of companionship, monitoring their behavior and health, and adjusting care as needed. With my own senior dog, I’m especially attentive to signs of discomfort or changes in behavior, and I bring that same level of patience and care to every pet I look after.
“Ryan is amazing with our dogs! We can see it in the pictures he sends us with them how comfortable they are with him, and know we can always trust him to take great care of them. We had a bit of a last minute issue pop up with a different dog sitter, and Ryan was able to really come through and help out too. We are super grateful to him and can’t recommend him enough!”
“Madeleine was a wonderful sitter and took amazing care of Tilda! She provided a lot of updates even when I was out of service on a camping trip. She is a lovely person and I would hire her back. She also left my home very clean and tidy!”
About: I absolutely love animals, but who here doesn’t? I’ve had cats and dogs my whole life so my pet care experience mostly lies there, but is not limited. I’ve cared for friends and family members animals my whole life and am very comfortable around them. Ask me any questions you may have! I look forward to hearing from you! (: I work part time so my schedule is mostly free & flexible. I’m quite a homebody and really enjoy being home, as well as outdoors hiking or being active. I live in an enclosed apartment with no balcony or backyard so it’s a safe place for cats and dogs of course. I’m extremely communicative and would treat your home as it is my own.
“Jessica was wonderful! She took such great care of our pup and our home while we were away for the weekend. She was perfectly communicative with updates and sent photos of them having fun, which really made our trip more enjoyable. We'd love to have Jessica back to watch our pup!”
“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: Greetings! I'm Sam, one of those actor/comedian types. There are so few of us in LA, it's crazy! I grew up in LA, but moved to New York 10 years ago to study acting at NYU. New York is a great place, but also a very hard place to exist however, without a doubt whenever I was having a bad day or on auto pilot and I would see a dog on the street I would immediately smile. I was the go to dog sitter for my friends back in NY. My loves were Petri, a white, crazy energetic chihuahua and Zoey, a lethargic cuddly black lab. I grew up with dogs, and like a lot of kids wanted to be a vet when I was younger. I really sincerely care for dogs so much, and they bring me so much joy so I really look forward to meeting your best friends!

Joseph did a great job taking care of Leo! He was very attentive and communicative throughout the entire stay, which gave us a lot of peace of mind while we were away. He kept us updated, followed all of Leo’s instructions, and made sure he was well taken care of. We really appreciated how reliable and responsive he was. We would definitely trust Joseph with Leo again and highly recommend him!
Jordan was the perfect sitter for our pups! She was able to handle our dog-reactive corgi with ease and care. Her calm demeanor definitely helped put both me and our dogs at ease. She was very communicative and provided regular updates and photos. I will definitely rebook with her in the future!
Cara is great! My dog liked her immediately and was obviously having a blast in every single picture she sent. Lots of updates and pictures and I felt super safe and comfortable leaving my guy with her. Super responsive and easy to book with and sent a ton of pictures. Highly recommend :)
It was so wonderful having Jessica look after my (judgy, picky) cat while I was away. She took to my cat immediately, kept me updated and entertained with the antics, and took care of everything. I came home to a happy cat and a clean house and everything exactly as I would have wanted. I hope I can have Jessica look after my girl again!
It’s very clear that Heather loves animals, which I think is the most important quality in a sitter. She took great care of my dog and cat, and understood their quirks. She kept my plants alive, which isn’t easy in LA in the Summer. Heather understood and followed the (fairly complex) instructions I left about all my pets’ medication and preferences. She was responsive to my messages while I was out of town. When I returned home, my house was just as tidy as I left it, and Heather also gave me a helpful handoff message about the pets and laundry.
It was our first time traveling without our dog, so we were pretty worried, especially because he can be sensitive and tends to bark a lot. But she took such thoughtful and attentive care of Ari that we were able to feel at ease throughout our trip. Even though we booked her on short notice, she was incredibly kind, warm, and caring with him. We’re so grateful that Ari was in such good hands while we were away!
Ly is the most perfect angel cat and home sitter. She cares for your home and pets like her own. She is super communicative, sends updates and pictures, and even crocheted the sweetest blanket for my girl 😭😭😭 I felt completely at ease with her watching my cat. Super grateful to have met Ly!!
We absolutely love Sarah and David! They’ve stayed in our home and watched our senior dog twice now and we feel so lucky to have found them. Our dog has a lot of quirks and a specific routine, including medications that have to be given on schedule. He is also weary of new people, but Sarah and David’s experience and patience with dogs have helped him adjust to them quickly. They’ve been very reliable, communicative, and take great care of our home too. Both times we’ve come back our home has been clean and in great shape.
We were a bit nervous about leaving our baby with someone new, especially while staying in our home, but Deanna was absolutely perfect! She look such excellent care of Pearl and our home was exactly as we left it. Pearl had a great time and we were able to relax and enjoy our vacation. We will definitely book Deanna again without hesitation!

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 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.
