“Aileen was WONDERFUL!!!! She took such good care of Louie over the weekend while I was gone. She sent me tons of updates and pictures. Will definitely be hiring her again!”
“Daylin was a tremendous dog sitter for our beagles, Slate and Astoria. My wife and I were in Las Vegas for a long weekend, and she took incredible care of them the entire time. She sent regular photos and videos, kept us updated, and made sure they felt safe, comfortable, and well-loved. You can tell she genuinely enjoys spending quality time with the dogs she watches. We’d absolutely book with her again!”
“Lizette was fantastic. We were staying in Marina Del Rey for the weekend. She came to the hotel to watch over our two small dogs while we went to a concert. She was commutative and punctual and most of all very affectionate towards our little ones. Highly recommended.”
“I had a great experience with Kadi, who cared for my two dogs for a full week. I received consistent updates and photos, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. Both dogs were comfortable and well cared for. The house was also left in good condition. Highly recommended.”
“Stephanie arrived on time when asked. She was extremely sweet and took great care of Miles while we were away. She was understanding of Miles’s separation anxiety and they were best friends in no time.”
“Tyler was excellent with our girl. Bella gets sad when we are not home but Tyler's patients and compassion with her helped her through it. I especially loved the updates with pictures; this help me relax knowing she was ok and in good hands. We will be using her again for sure.”
“Marianne was available on short notice and got us out of a tight spot when another sitter fell thru. She was patient with our Beau who can be loud when meeting new people and takes some time to warm up to people. She was able to connect with him in the first 20 minutes and was smooth sailing after. She was thoughtful and asked for information on how to take care of him and our senior cat Tuzo too, as well as what signs to look for that could be a health issue with him. Will gladly reach out to her when we need another sitter in our visits to LA.”
“Velvet was awesome about staying in touch and sent so many great photos, putting me completely at ease while I was away. My cat was clearly comfortable with her and seemed to have a lovely time. Would definitely book again!”
“Jackson stayed at our home with our two hounds for about two weeks while we travelled internationally. We were so happy to have him! He was attentive, caring, and kept our house in tip top shape while we were away. He made sure to text us daily with updates and sent the best photos of our boys. Truly appreciative of his excellent service”
“Monica was AMAZING! I moved to Los Angeles recently, and it’s always a little stressful leaving your pup with someone new. Monica was sweet, accommodating, and professional from the get-go. She suggested a meet and greet to get to know Kona and have me show her around - which I GREATLY appreciated her making the time for - and I think speaks to the quality of care and love that she offers to the pets she takes care of. She sent me regular pupdates, was VERY understanding of me needing to rush and leave things a bit less than ideal for her (EVERYTHING went wrong that morning getting ready to leave 😅), and I came home to a very happy pup. Monica even took time to tidy a bit. I have officially found my LA dog sitter!! Monica will take care of your pet like they are her own. She has a huge heart, ample experience, and I can’t recommend her enough! I feel lucky to have connected with her!”
“I had an amazing experience with Allen taking care of my dog on short notice. He was very communicative and kept in contact with regular status updates and photos. Not only did he take excellent care of my dog but also went above and beyond to ensure the house was tidy. I highly recommend Allen to anyone looking for a reliable, caring and professional dog sitter. I will definitely be booking again!”
“Elaine is the best! This is the first time we went on an international trip and left our coopie alone for so long. Her updates were phenomenal and put us at ease knowing our dog was in good hands. She is the best dog sitter ever!!!”
“Zakiya was great sending pictures and keeping us updated, including a note of what was the pups were up to throughout each day! She kept the house nice and clean during her stay with our doggos. Would recommend Zakiya!”
“Marianna was such a great sitter! She took care of my house, leaving it more put together than before I left. She took out my trash, figured out the high tech litter situation, sent me cute pictures and even left me with a little card and Polaroids of my kitties. My cats were so mellow and happy when I came home. Seeing pictures of them piled on top of her left me feeling so secure that they were comfortable. I would highly recommend Marianna.”
“Amelia was a great house sitter. Our pup decided to forget that she’s potty trained and Amelia handled it with compassion, care and patience and we are grateful for that.”
“Audrey was great! Very responsible and communicative the whole time watching my dog! It was great to have a peace of mind with her being proactive on communication and following the rules of how to care for my dog. 10/10 and will be using her again!”
“Lauren and Journey went above and beyond for our pup Dorothy. From the moment we left, we felt completely at ease because of the incredible communication and updates. We received so many adorable pictures and videos throughout the stay, and it was obvious our girl was having the best time! We would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, kind, and attentive to care for their pet. Thank you so much!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Gardena
Indra is phenomenal! She did a meet and greet before staying overnight. The pups loved her. She asked great questions and was very open to all of our instructions. She sent plenty of pictures and updates throughout the day and night. We came home to happy, healthy dogs. Highly recommend.
Jackie was amazing! She took such good care of our dog while we were gone for over 2 weeks. We hate leaving him, but felt very grateful to have such a responsible and loving person with him. We got regular updates and pictures. She even got him extra treats and gave him a bath. We hope Jackie will come back next time to watch our doggie!
Kristin is a god send!! My boys are big dogs with so much energy and sometimes some behavior issues. Not only did she get them to behave on walks, she has helped with some of their reactivity. She plays with them and loves on them so much and they get so excited when she comes over. And she’s an incredibly sweet woman. 12/10 would recommend!!!
Aileen is a phenomenal and trustworthy sitter. She house sat for us and took really good care of our high energy German shorthair pointer puppy and our other dog. She follows directions well and it’s clear she really cares for your pets. When we got back, the house was clean and she even washed the bedding. So happy to have had her as our sitter. We came back to chilled out pups and received pics while we were away. They had fun and enjoyed her a lot.
Tony was the absolute best! He was incredibly attentive and caring with my doggos—they loved him. He followed all of my instructions to a tee, kept me in the loop, and always responded quickly. I have an older, injured dog, and he did an amazing job caring for her. I really appreciated his clear communication and the photo updates. I would absolutely book with him again.
Iliana could not be more amazing. She took such wonderful care of our three pups while we were away. Right before her visit, one of our dogs was diagnosed with lymphoma. I was ready to cancel our trip, but Iliana assured me she had everything handled. Iliana took our dog to her vet visit, and stayed on top of all of our dogs’ medication schedules. Iliana made us feel so at ease. She could have not been a more wonderful house and pet sitter. We are so, so grateful to her!!!
Laura took such good care of my dog! When Laura left, my dog was whining and looking out the window for a while. She was very flexible, also feeding my hamster from time to time. If you're looking into boarding, Laura's dogs seem to be sweethearts and well-behaved, they were welcoming to my dog and got along very easily. Really appreciated all the cute photo & video updates too. Highly recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Gardena on Rover is $53.94 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 14,671 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Gardena. 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 Gardena 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 Gardena 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 Gardena 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 Gardena. 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.
