“Daylin was polite and thorough with her questions about our elderly dogs when we first met. She did a great job taking care of them and making sure they received their medications. She also regularly sent great pictures to keep us assured that our dogs were doing well. She also left our house clean. We would hire her again. Thank you, Daylin!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats since I was a child, and animals have always been a big part of my life. Over the years, I’ve gained experience caring for pets with different personalities, needs, and routines. I understand that every pet is unique, and I take the time to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. I’m dependable, patient, and attentive to details like feeding schedules, medication needs, exercise, and daily routines. Whether it’s energetic puppies, playful cats, or senior pets who need extra care and attention, I’m committed to providing the same care and affection I would give my own pets. I currently work part-time, which gives me flexibility to provide pet care during mornings, weekends, and other available times throughout the week. I enjoy spending my free time with animals and can dedicate quality attention to making sure your pets feel happy, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I provide pet care exclusively in my clients’ homes, where pets can stay comfortable in their own familiar environment. I know that keeping their normal routine helps reduce stress, so I follow your instructions carefully regarding feeding, walks, playtime, and any special needs your pet may have.
About: Hi! I'm Brooke. I've been caring for animals for over 20 years and have three pets of my own, so I know how much trust it takes to leave them in someone else's care. As a healthcare professional, I'm calm, dependable, and experienced with pets of all ages, including seniors and those who need medications or extra attention. Every pet is different, and I take the time to get to know their personality and routine so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I'll care for your pets as if they were my own, and you'll always receive plenty of updates and photos so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind. I can't wait to meet you and your furry family! I have a flexible schedule right now, which allows me to accommodate a variety of pet care needs throughout the week. I'm happy to work with your schedule whenever possible and will always provide reliable, dependable care for your pets. Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I'll follow your pet's routine and care instructions closely, including feeding, medications, exercise, and any special needs. I'll treat your home with respect and keep you updated with regular messages and photos, so you always know your pet is happy and well cared for.
“Joanne was an absolute lifesaver while I was away for a few days. I have a little puppy, and I needed someone reliable to keep a close eye on him and provide him with comfort during my first time away. I highly recommend Joanne to anyone in need of pet care. Ollie and I adore her, and we’re eagerly looking forward to seeing her again soon. :)”
About: I take pride in the trust that friends and family have place in me. I will take care of them like my own. Your home will be respected and cared for. I have cared for special needs pets. I work from home as an RN. This gives me a lot of flexibility. I go for walks at least daily. Having a dog (or cat) to walk with encourages me. I love animals. I always try to follow the pet's normal routine closely. I understand the importance of keeping pet's as stress free as possible when their humans are away. I will care for them and your home with kindness and respect.
“Eva was awesome with our 3 dogs! She handled them all very well, even the one with anxiety. She even let our pug snuggle (and snore) and our golden lay on top of her on the bed! Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 12, looking after my own pets and neighbor’s dog when they’re out of town. I understand the importance of companionship and make it my mission to ensure your furry friends feel loved and never alone. Currently I’m in school and only working a part-time job which means that during the week I have free time. Except for Sundays I work at night so any time before 5pm. I have two friendly dogs - a large one and a small one- so I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes. If your dog is shy, I can easily keep my dogs separated to ensure your pup feels safe and at ease.
“Allen is an awesome dog sitter! We have two high energy doodles, one of whom is blind, and he took really good care of them while we were away. He sent plenty of pictures and videos which gave us peace of mind and when he left, they were standing at the guest bedroom door looking for him. We highly recommend Allen!”
“Zakiya took such good care of our dog Georgia and our home! We got daily pictures and updates, which helped put our minds at ease while traveling! Our dog Georgia seemed happy and well taken care of the whole time :) We came home to a clean house, and detailed notes on the stay! Will definitely be booking Zakiya again she did a wonderful job!”
“Sid was an excellent dog/house sitter for our 15lbs pomchi while we were out of town for a week. He spent considered effort during the meet and greet to befriend our pup, and during the actual stay he was incredibly communicative which put our minds at ease. I recommend Flo and Sid to anyone looking for a dog sitter, and we hope to use them again in the future.”
About: What truly sets me apart is my nearly 20 years of hands-on experience in veterinary medicine. As a seasoned veterinary technician, I don’t just provide loving care—I bring a trained eye for subtle changes in behavior, health, and comfort that others might miss. I’m experienced in administering medications, caring for senior pets, and supporting animals with medical needs, so you can feel confident your pet is in capable, knowledgeable hands. Beyond my medical background, I genuinely love building trust with every pet I care for. I understand that every animal is unique, and I tailor my approach to match their personality, routine, and needs. Whether it’s extra patience for a shy pup, attentive monitoring for a senior cat, or energetic playtime for an active dog, I provide care that goes above and beyond standard pet sitting. With me, you’re not just hiring a sitter—you’re gaining peace of mind knowing your pet is cared for by someone with professional veterinary experience and a true passion for animal wellbeing. Pet care isn’t something I fit into my day—it *is* my day. I’ve intentionally dedicated my full-time focus to providing attentive, high-quality care for the pets and families I work with. This allows me to be fully present, flexible, and responsive to each pet’s unique needs and routine. I strive to offer a concierge-style experience for my clients, with reliable communication, thoughtful updates, and a level of detail-oriented care that goes beyond the basics. Because I’m not balancing another full-time role, I’m able to prioritize consistency, availability, and a calm, unhurried approach—something pets truly benefit from. My goal is to make your life easier and your pet’s experience as comfortable and seamless as possible, while giving you complete peace of mind knowing they are my top priority. I believe pets are happiest and most comfortable when they can stay in their own familiar environment, surrounded by the sights, smells, and routines they know best. My goal is to provide compassionate, personalized care in your home while maintaining the routine and level of attention your pet is accustomed to. Each pet is unique, so I tailor my visits to meet their individual needs—whether that means daily walks, playtime and enrichment, medication administration, feeding routines, litter box care, or simply providing companionship and reassurance while you’re away. With nearly 20 years of veterinary experience, I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages, including seniors and those with medical needs. I take pride in offering a concierge-style pet care experience with thoughtful communication, detailed updates, and a commitment to treating every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pet is receiving not only reliable care, but genuine love, attention, and understanding in the comfort of their own home.
About: Hi! I’m a fellow dog mom who has booked walks and drop-ins for my own dog, so I know what it feels like to leave your pup to a stranger, and the love you have for them in doing so. Which is why I prioritize communication, safety, and making sure your dog feels comfy and happy. I stick to routines, give lots of love (if pup allows) and make sure your pup gets the exercise, attention, and stimulation they need. I treat every dog how I’d want my dog treated. You’ll get photo updates, clear communication, and peace of mind knowing your dog is with someone who genuinely gets it. Im currently working part time so my schedule can be flexible for drops ins and weekly walks. Especially in the early mornings and late evenings! I ensure that your pup is with me only at all times. I’m watching them like a hawk bc I have a beagle that tries to vacuum everything so I’m hyper aware of what your pup is sniffing.
“Grace was absolutely amazing. As a first time rover user, she took away all the stress and worry I had leaving my boy alone for the first time. She was communicative, patient, sent daily updates and pictures, and overall was very kind and respectful of our space. We will be sure to use her again.”
“When I say, Haylee is amazing. I truly mean it. She was so informative and considerate of letting me know what was going on while she was cat sitting. And I love that she sent me pictures during the stay. I will definitely be booking her again in the future.”
About: I grew up with dogs my whole life. I am currently a bunny mom to 2 bunnies! So any time spent with dogs makes me so happy.

“Lucky had a wonderful time with Lizett! Lucky is still adjusting to his life after being rescued off the streets, but he connected with Lizett instantly. She took him on many walks, which is he loves! She sent me pictures while I was away, so I was extra peaceful knowing Lucky is in good hands. She fed him and made sure to give him lots of cuddles. I am definitely going to get her to watch Lucky again.”
“Megan did a great job. I recommend her! She took care of my cat really well. She had to give him meds 3 times a day and she did that without a problem. She is very nice and communicates well. 10/10 experience.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Gardena
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!
Indra stayed at my house for a week and watched my two dogs. I was very nervous because I had a 3 month old puppy that I was still potty and crate training. Indra sent photos and videos every day of the pups, watered my plants and took care of my house. She is very responsible and what I especially appreciated was she was committed to staying with my dogs and didn’t leave them for too long alone. I would highly recommend her and, in fact, I hired her the following weekend to watch the pups again.
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!

FAQs for House Sitting - Gardena
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Gardena on Rover is $54.94 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 14,547 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.
