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.
“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!”
“Karen was awesome! She was available super last minute for an overnight stay with my picky pitbull. Despite the short notice, she was able to find time to come meet Clementine before I headed out of town. She was kind and considerate, and I would definitely look to her again for future bookings.”
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 a dog-sitter for 10 years and started fostering animals this year! From chihuahuas to Great Danes, I’ve sat them all. Not only am I dog-obsessed, I also love dog training and care. As someone that grew up on Cesar Milan and training my own animals, I believe dogs thrive when loved and communicated with effectively. I love to get to know and will always tailor care to each dog’s unique personality! I work part-time and remote jobs, so my schedule is usually pretty up to me! Which means I get to spend all the time your fur babies with them :-) I live in a house with a big yard and plenty of sunlight and squirrels for your pet to stare at! I will always keep them on leash, though for safety. My apartment has a large living room for them to roam and I have a kennel if need be for sleeping!
“Karah is amazing, I highly recommend them! My dog was recently diagnosed with a spine issue and this is the first time I've left him with a sitter while he was having a flare up. Karah made me feel so comfortable, took excellent care of him, and was super communicative. Karah has such a calming, confident energy and it made my dog immediately at ease :)”
“Lillian is terrific. On time, thoughtful and diligent. She is flexible as well, and was able to extend her time with us no problem. And the doggies loved her! Highly recommend!”
“Gabriana was amazing. Our pets took to her so quickly, including our highly anxious dog! She’s a pet whisperer. We also returned to a clean and organized house. Highly recommend her!”
“Marielle is wonderful! She was amazing with our toy poodle. She gave him a day full of walks and snuggles, which is just what he needs. :) Would definitely recommend and book again! <3”
About: I love animals and I always want what's best for them. I enjoy walking and caring for pets of all shapes & sizes and I have personal experience with dogs, cats, birds (including chickens) & other animals, in addition to being a professional dog walker. I'd love to meet your pets! I enjoy the company of all animals, but would ask that your dog be friendly and non-agressive towards other dogs or cats. Vaccinations and flea medications are highly recommended. All pets should be spayed or neutered. Help control the unwanted pet population! I am flexible on service availability. Please send me a message if you have specific questions or concerns. I'm happy to help your pets feel safe and loved! I am very conscientious about an animal's well being, needs and desires. I understand them well and can anticipate what they will want to do next in any environment.
“Sade helped us out on Valentine’s Day and stayed with our little girl! They had a lot of fun playing and we got photo updates. I recommend Sade for house stays and walks!”
“Sandy was great and very patient with my quite difficult 60lb goldendoodle. She surely loves pets and went above and beyond to play with my dog at the pool. Also great with house sitting and following safety measures. Ellie and I would love to see her again!”
“5 stars ⭐️ Really amazing communication and care. Thank you for being so prompt, communicative and reliable. Ziggy was well exercised, fed and cared for throughout the 4 days we had and will definitely have you for long time stays in the future! Thank you for your professionalism! ?❤️ ZIGGY, Y + L”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was 12 years old. I’m a huge animal lover and enjoy spending my time volunteering at the Burbank Animal shelter when I have free time. I would love to give your animal some attention and love while you’re away. At the moment I work in the office Mondays through Thursday from 9am to 6pm. I’m available early mornings and evenings for walks, with more flexibility on the weekends. I will follow the rules and guidelines given to me by the pet parents when pet sitting. I’m a rule follower and thrive with instructions.
“Lindsey was fantastic with my 1 year old pup. My dog has a lot of energy and is very clingy and Lindsey showed so much concern and care for his well being. She took him on a ton of walks, played with him a bunch, and kept me updated throughout. I really appreciate how thorough and caring she is! She made sure to send me photos and videos, and kept me updated on his walks, how he slept, and his little quirks. My dog was so comfortable around her and was calm and tired upon me returning, so I can tell that Lindsey took exceptional care of him. I would recommend Lindsey wholeheartedly!”
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.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Echo Park is $63
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Echo Park
I’m thrilled we found Ninon. This is the second time we’ve hired her to pet/housesit. This time we were gone for a week and I think our puppy thought he was on vacation as well. Ninon takes him on long walks, to coffee shops, to restaurants and treats him like hers. We’re thrilled his socialization continues while we are away and I trust her 100%.
Cory is the best! Our pup absolutely fell in love with her while we were away. She kept the house tidy and organized and made sure to ensure bono was always happy and comfortable. Would definitely recommend and will be seeing her again next time we leave town.
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! Being able to relax while we were away, knowing Javi was in such caring and capable hands, meant so much to us. We would absolutely book Lee again and highly recommend him!
Anel was amazing and took great care of my dog on my wedding day! She was super sweet and made sure I had peace of mind and wasn’t worried about my dog on my big day. I would recommend Anel to anyone that wants a loving person watching after their pet. Thank you a million Anel!!
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!
Terry is incredibly kind and trustworthy! Our dog tends to be wary of strangers, but Terry was patient and took the time to earn his trust. It was wonderful to see their bond grow, and our dog eventually came to trust Terry. Terry is also very responsive and takes the time to answer any questions thoroughly. We would absolutely book with Terry again. Highly recommend!
I don’t know what we’d do without Damaris. We added a fourth animal to our roster for this most recent visit, a cat that hasn’t been fully integrated with our other cat and two dogs and Damaris handled the additional burden and navigated keeping the cats apart so well, kept me frequently updated, AND is so thoughtful and patient navigating our older dog’s health issues and behavioral changes. She’s the best of the best and I am eternally grateful for her. Thank you!!
I’m so grateful to find Cassidy! My kitty is very high-needs (he’s a senior cat, lots of chronic health issues and medications) and Cassidy was extremely organized and on top of his care. She asked a lot of questions and followed my instructions perfectly, and my kitty always seems so happy by the time I come home. This last visit was a week of overnight care, and she provided lots of photos and updates, and my home was perfectly clean when I got home. Can’t recommend enough, thank you Cassidy!
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!

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.
