About: I currently have a cat and have had 4 separate clients outside of rover that I still miss and love! I love animals and will treat yours as if they’re my own (: my cat has special needs so if yours does as well, I completely understand (: I am currently full-time, so depending on when you need me I will work my work schedule around yours! If you need me specific days, I will request them off, it just works better if I can get 2-3 weeks in advance for better planning (: My cat has special needs and is strictly indoors, however he still has many toys and towers to keep him busy when I am not home! When I had my dog (currently living with my sister) I took him on as many walks as he needed and played w him often since he was insanely energetic! I always make sure the babies are fed and have water and comfortable especially since they’ll be missing they’re parents ):
“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!”
“Daylin was fantastic! I cannot say enough great things about her. It's always nerve racking getting a new Rover person to watch your dog and stay in your home. She updated me with pictures all the time. I came home and the house was spotless. She is very respectful and quick to respond. I had to extend my trip 1 day and she was able to accommodate. I think Gypsy found a new best friend. Daylin woke up with Gypsy on the bed next to her and she never goes on the bed...Haha! If I could I would use Daylin every time I had to go out of town.”
“Natalie is truly a godsend. This was our first time asking someone to care for our puppy while we were away, and as first‑time puppy parents, trusting a new person felt nerve‑wracking at first. Natalie immediately put us at ease. She followed every instruction we provided, kept us updated, and treated our puppy with so much patience and care. He clearly had a great time with her, and she even taught him a helpful little trick for settling in his playpen - something we genuinely appreciate. We couldn’t have asked for a better first experience, and we’re so grateful for her support!”
“Jasmine was so great with my pit mix! They got along so well and Jasmine made me feel such at ease while on my trip. I would 1000% use her service again. Thanks so much!”
“Maggie was wonderful! She was responsive and very thorough in the beginning process. She came to meet and spend time with my cats ahead of time, which was very helpful! She’s mindful of preferences and any current routines and was responsive when I was away including sending updates at the beginning and end of the day. I highly recommend and would book her again. Thank you, Maggie!”
“Sarah took such good care of my cat! She sent tons of photos of my cat to let me know they're doing great and having fun together! A lot of them are profile-photo worthy of pics! Would absolutely recommend Sarah and would totally rebook her service during my next trip out of town.”
About: I have 14 years of pet care experience tending to wounds, giving medications etc. to young, adult, senior, geriatric cats and small to medium size dogs. I have a part-time job so I have a good amount of availability still. Let’s discuss, and I will do my very best to make any time work for you and your fur baby. I have one indoor senior dog. I walk him daily, give him his medications, feed him and cuddle him as he needs. Same with cats! I just don’t own any at the moment.
About: For the better part of the past decade I’ve been the go to pet sitter for friends and family. Ranging from overnight stays to month long care for both little and large breeds. Currently in between jobs so I’m home during the day so our guests will always have someone to supervise and play. Also have two little dogs to play with Our back yard is quite large so the new and returning friends will have plenty of space to roam around and play. The back door is always open to allow them to come and go from the house or outside. The feeding schedule is based on the preference of the owner and if allowed treats they can get them throughout the visit. Always open to playtime and lovings. Day trips to the park or beach are also a fun time if they like to socialize.
“Mia was lovely to work with and took excellent care of our girl! It helped a lot knowing she was in good hands. I got lots of updates on playtime and meals and walks, which was wonderful.”
About: I’ve always been obsessed with dogs for as long as I can remember. I got my first dog when I was 6, and she became the love of my life. I cared for her until I was 19. She was my best friend, part of my daily routine, and went everywhere with me. Since then, I’ve had two rescue dogs, Nani (6) and Lupita (2), who are my whole world. My pets are truly family! They sleep with me, have birthday parties, and are treated with all the love and care they deserve. Because I know how hard it is to trust someone with your biggest treasure, I care for every pet as if they were my own. All my friends always leave their dogs with me when they travel because they know how much love and attention I give to every animal. I have experience walking, bathing, grooming, and playing with dogs of all ages. I’ve also trained my own dogs to follow simple commands like sitting, catching the ball, and peeing on command. I have experience caring for both puppies and senior dogs, my first dog had cancer, and I made sure her final years were full of love and comfort. I run my own business from home, so I have a super flexible schedule! I’m home most of the day, which means your pets will always have company, attention, and lots of love. I can easily adjust my routine for walks, drop-ins, or overnight care. I don’t host pets in my home because I need to respect my older dog, Nani, she’s super sweet but takes time to get comfortable around new dogs. Instead, I offer house sitting and walks at the client’s home. This way, your pet can stay relaxed in their own space, following their routine and getting all the love and care they need.
“Liz is an absolute dream of a pet sitter! My dog and cat both had the best time with her while I was travelling for work. Liz is excellent at communicating, sharing lots of photos, and very diligent in caring for the animals. She also maintained our home beautifully. I will certainly be booking her again.”
“Jessica is attentive, kind, and thorough. She listened carefully and treated my sweet older dog with care. She communicates well and even wrote notes about her day with my dog so she wouldn’t forget anything. Will use her services again!”
“Simone was so great with my pets! We ran into a couple unforeseen challenges, but she was very professional about everything, kept me in the loop and made sure my pets were taken care of no matter what! It made my trip so much less stressful than it could have been! Would definitely book again!”
About: I became the neighborhood pet sitter in Encinitas, for cats and dogs. Each neighbor referred me to the next until I was caring for an entire neighborhood. Each pet has individual needs and I strive to provide the care that they require with love and attention. I have experience with cats and dogs for over 30 years. I work part time and my shifts are typically only 3-4 hours. Petsitting/Housesitting is convenient for me. I can board well-behaved pets at my home where my elderly mom is pretty much home all the time so even if I'm at work there is still a loving companion at home. Safety is priority! I request a detailed list of instructions and all emergency information. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals so they are not out of my sight much. At my home, I have a fenced yard and am careful with cleaning products and materials to keep them out of reach.
“Emily is absolutely amazing! There are no words for the great care that she took of Ruby while I was gone for a week. I cannot thank her enough! Ruby is shy and doesn’t easily go to people, but she did very well with Emily! Emily kept me updated every day with texts and photos. I was very comfortable and confident that Ruby was well taken care of in my absence. Everything is also clean upon my return home. Highly highly recommend Emily.”
“Jennifer is awesome! She recently dog sat for me for 2.5 weeks. My dog is slow to open up to new people, which can make me concerned about leaving him with someone new. But Jennifer took my dog’s quirks in stride. Her calm, cool, and collected demeanor gave me instant confidence that she and my dog would be just fine while I was away. On top of being so good with my dog, Jennifer kept me up-to-speed with daily check ins and pictures, and left my house clean and tidy when I returned from my trip. Overall 10/10 I highly recommend Jennifer and will be a repeat customer!”
About: Pet care is already built into my everyday life. Three times a week I walk two 60-lb puppy Rhodesian Ridgebacks that I’ve successfully trained to walk calmly side by side. Every day I also take my own Black Mouth Cur on social outings to the dog park or dog beaches at Rosie’s Beach and Huntington Beach — over the last two years I’ve successfully socialized him to stop being aggressive. Mornings and late afternoons are set aside for client walks and drop-ins, while evenings and weekends open easily for longer visits or overnights. Because this is my regular rhythm, your pets receive consistent, focused attention every time. Pet care is fully integrated into my daily and weekly schedule. I maintain open availability throughout the week for walking both small and large dogs, with consistent morning and evening time slots reserved for clients. This structured yet flexible routine allows me to provide reliable, focused care without conflict. How do you care for pets in your home or your client’s home for the different services you offer? I provide care both in my home and in the client’s home, depending on the service requested. For walks and drop-in visits, I come to the client’s home and follow their exact routines, house rules, and any special instructions. For boarding or extended stays, pets are welcomed into my clean, calm, and fully pet-friendly home environment, where they receive individual attention tailored to their size, age, and needs. In both settings, I prioritize safety, clear communication, and consistent care so every pet feels comfortable and every client feels confident.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Inglewood
Jaqueline was fantastic. She stayed at my home for a week while I was on vacation, and I never once worried about my pup. She sent photo updates throughout, gave him plenty of snuggles, and — the real test — he's an early riser who sometimes wants up at 4 a.m., and she got up with him every time to keep him on his schedule. I'd book her again in a heartbeat and can't recommend her highly enough.
Marie took great care of our Great Dane and Maine Coon and our home while we traveled for work. Both of our furry kids quickly took to her and we could tell based on pics, were happy and at ease with her. She communicated well, was tidy and clean, and gave our pets lots of pets and cuddles. We could tell she was very experienced with pets and does this out of love for animals. Would 10/10 book again.
Samantha is wonderful, entrusting her with your pet is a no brainer! She’s communicative, easy to coordinate with, and most importantly has such an acute awareness of dog behavior. My dog is incredibly shy and standoffish to strangers, but got quickly more comfortable with Samantha than most strangers—a testament to her ability and experience with dogs as a sitter and trainer. Highly rec!
Allena was so so great with my dog and cat. She made sure to play with my cat and take my dog on long walks. She sent plenty of pictures and it was clear she loves animals. So thankful for her - I get anxious when I’m away from my fur babies, and her updates definitely helped me enjoy my vacation more.
WHAT A GEM! I reluctantly want to write our rating because she is truly wonderful and we want her all to ourselves! haha Kristen is incredibly professional, attentive and a wonderful communicator. She is everything we could have asked for and more. We had a dog recovering from a serious surgery with a list of meds and an elderly dog that needs attention, which she handled with absolute grace and confidence. A wonderful person who we look forward to working with again.
Stephanie took excellent care of our house and Kitty Wompas! We came home to a happy and healthy cat and a clean and tidy house. Kitty Wompas is diabetic and requires insulin shots twice a day, and although Stephanie had not administered insulin before she took the time to come over and learn the process and followed all directions perfectly. I highly recommend her.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Inglewood is $49 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $103 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.

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 Inglewood 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 Inglewood 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 Inglewood 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Inglewood. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
