“What an incredible in-home experience! Not accustomed to being left alone, Gilly our Basset Hound is gleeful when she comes through the door after her first day sitting. She is sensitive to all his requests and needs. He is one happy dog. She devotes every moment to your pup and comes up with great experiences to keep them content and entertained She respects your boundaries for your pet with love. He has been through a lot of major changes the last few years and can be anxious when something new comes along. With Britney, he is so calm and has all the confidence in the world she will protect him. Britney is very knowledgeable and communicates very well. We highly recommend her and wish she was our human caretaker. We will hire her again and again.”
“In addition to all the wonderful information on Tracy’s profile and the glowing reviews, I was immediately impressed by our initial communication. She was responsive, thoughtful, and asked great questions about my dogs’ needs. When she arrived at our home, I was equally impressed by her friendliness, calm presence, and overall great energy. My dogs have very different personalities and needs, one is small and was born blind, and the other is a 100-pound, 6-month-old Irish Wolfhound puppy. They also need to be kept separated, which adds another layer of management. It can be a lot to navigate. I am very honest (probably to a fault!) about how much work my Irish Wolfhound puppy is, and Tracy wasn’t intimidated in the slightest. I mean, I really tried to scare her off and am so glad it didn't work. LOL. She handled everything confidently and compassionately, and I felt completely at ease knowing they were in her care. I couldn’t be happier with how the visit went. I would absolutely recommend Tracy and will definitely be using her again, and my boyfriend feels the same. It is nice to be on the same page.”
“I am so grateful to Ms. Sofia for taking such a good care of our Milo and Tyson. We were desperate for someone, at the last minute, to house sit them for 4 days. She has shown great responsibility with our home and our fur babies. They loved her! Sofia updated us every few hours with quick text and pictures. She walked them, played with them and fed them as according to our instructions. It is rather nerve wracking to trust one with your home and animals that you adore, but she has gone and above and we will continue to book her. Thank you Sofia for all your care and love for Tyson and Milo! You are their new best friend!”
About: I have an intimate knowledge of pets and all animals. I have nurtured many abandoned and stray dogs and cats and have found them safe and loving homes. I am reliable, trustworthy, honest, and communicative. I am physically fit and am a US Army veteran. I currently own a beautiful Corgi mix that was abandoned and ran over by a car. After the amputation i adopted her. She is the sweetest little girl! I also currently feed and assist with finding loving homes for other abandoned animals in the area. I am reliable, honest, and trustworthy. I am physically fit. I live in Brea. I am a US Army veteran. I have a drivers license and a clean background. I have lots of patience and love for all pets! I’m an excellent pet communicator.
About: Hi, I’m Elaina! With a lifelong love for animals and over fifteen years of experience caring for pets, and a special love for senior dogs - I’m passionate about providing the best care possible. As someone with a corporate background who traveled frequently, I understand how difficult it can be to find someone truly reliable to care for your pets. That experience inspired me to start a dog walking and pet care service grounded in trust, consistency, and genuine attention. I know how important it is to have someone who treats your pet like family - someone who shows up on time, follows instructions, and makes your pet feel comfortable in your absence. Whether you’re at work, away on business, need an extra hand, or taking a well-earned break, I’m here to make sure your pet gets the love and care they deserve that I once searched for myself. You’ll get photo updates, peace of mind, and the comfort of knowing your pet is in caring hands. Pet care is a meaningful part of my daily routine, even with a full-time day job. Monday through Friday, I’m available for walks and check-ins before 7 a.m. and after 5 p.m., and I make it a priority to give each pet the attention, exercise, and companionship they need. On weekends, I’m an open book with much more flexibility for visits and extended care. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and treat every visit with the same care and commitment as if they were my own. Eventually, I’d love to create a more flexible schedule that allows me to care for pets more frequently while still managing my day job - it’s a passion I’m excited to continue growing. When caring for pets in a client's home, I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent as possible. I familiarize myself with their feeding schedules, exercise habits, and any specific care instructions you may have. I aim to maintain a stress-free environment for your pet by following the same level of attention and affection they are used to in their own space. I am respectful of your home, ensuring it stays tidy and organized while I provide excellent care for your pets.
“Angela is great. She pet-sat my baby with great care. My dog has weak, rare legs, and Angela brought her heating mat for him. She updated me on my dog daily. I highly recommend her.”
“Maggie was amazing with our 5 month old puppy. Our puppy suffers from major separation anxiety, and she didn’t cry once when Maggie was with her! She was very nice and accommodating. Definitely will be using her again in the future”
“Amy was great with Rosie. In her notes to me, I could tell that Amy understood Rosie’s personality and habits, which reassured me that they were getting along (and doing what Rosie prefers). Amy was in contact with me daily and provided photos. She met with me and Rosie a few times before she house-sat for us, which helped my dog and me feel more comfortable. Amy is a wonderful pet sitter & I recommend her.”
“Katrina has been so wonderful to us. Ben loves having her company & we love the peace of mind of having her home with him when we're away. As usual, she's very reliable, friendly, easy to communicate with, and we'll continue to use her services.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! From start to finish, the experience was seamless and stress-free. Our dogs were clearly loved, well cared for, and comfortable the entire time we were away. Communication was excellent—we received regular updates, photos, and reassurance, which made such a difference. It’s obvious how attentive, patient, and genuinely caring they are with animals. Our dogs stuck to their routine, were happy when we got back, and our home was left clean and exactly as we left it. That level of care and professionalism means everything. We would absolutely trust them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and responsible sitter. Thank you for taking such amazing care of our pups—we’re so grateful! 🐶💛”
“This was our first time using a pet sitter, and we cant really say enough good things about Chelsea. She was patient enough and was able to keep up with our high energy puppy. He liked her since he mer her at the meet and greet. Definitely recommend her and her husband Richard. You can’t go wrong with them.”
“Nadia was great looking after Shade while I was out of town! She made sure to stick to his routine while also taking him on some new experiences (: she sent plenty of updates/pictures as well. I would definitely book her again and recommend her!”
About: Last year my friend went to Hawaii for a week, her dog stayed with me, I walked him every day. we became good friends.that was a wonderful time. I’m working from home, so I have plenty of time to play or take care the pets. I like cats and dogs, they are so cute My house has a fenced yard,and two friendly cats. They play happily in the yard every day, your cat or dog would play with them.
“Xu cared for my dog (55lb puppy) and cat for a week in my home. She communicated well and sent photos and videos. My dog had diarrhea in his crate the first night and she cleaned it really well and offered to give him some of her own dogs’ probiotics to help him. She took him outside several times each day, and even took him on a field trip to play with her dogs (with my permission). Xu cared for my pets like they were her own and I would absolutely trust her to care for them again.”
“We have a very active 60 lb. dog who requires a daily hike. Tina took Hazel out for an hour each day, and when it proved too hot in the afternoon she switched to mornings. She followed all of our requests and Hazel really liked Tina. She (Tina, not Hazel) left the house clean and tidy. We have already made arrangements to hire Tina again. We recommend her wholeheartedly.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in La Habra is $63

We couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter! She stayed at our apartment over the Fourth of July weekend and took amazing care of both our home and our cats. She was incredibly communicative throughout her stay, sending regular updates and making us feel completely at ease while we were away. We came home to a spotless apartment and, most importantly, two very happy, relaxed cats who clearly adored her. It’s obvious she genuinely cares about the pets she watches and treats them like her own. We would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable pet sitter. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of our furry family and our home!
Tiffany went above and beyond caring for Mikey while we were away. This was the first time I had ever left him, so I was naturally nervous, but she completely put me at ease from the start. She sent continuous photo updates, which meant so much and allowed me to see how happy and comfortable he was throughout his stay. Tiffany is incredibly organized, attentive, and meticulous in her care. It was obvious that she truly cared about Mikey's well-being and treated him like family. Knowing he was in such capable and caring hands made all the difference. I cannot recommend Tiffany highly enough and will absolutely trust her with Mikey again in the future.
Tracy did a wonderful job caring for both our pet and our home while we were away. It gave us such peace of mind knowing everything was in great hands, and we could fully enjoy our vacation without any worries. We truly appreciate having someone so trustworthy!
Vince was great with our dogs . Took them for couple of walks a day, played with. Our bigger boy(62lbs) Pascal doesn’t always like men he doesn’t know but by the pictures of him playing that got along great. He had problems managing our 2 furry babies-60 and 40 lbs. We felt very safe with them in his hands.
Hye took wonderful care of my dog Alec for four nights, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She was communicative, reliable, and clearly very attentive to Alec’s needs the entire time. I really appreciated the updates and photos. It made me feel confident that he was happy, comfortable, and in great hands while I was away. When I got home, Alec was relaxed and clearly well cared for, which says everything. Hye is kind, responsible, and clearly loves animals. I would absolutely trust her to watch Alec again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable sitter.
We had a fantastic experience with Lauren, who stayed in our home for a full week. Our dogs were happy, relaxed, and clearly very well cared for while we were away. We loved receiving regular updates and photos—it gave us so much peace of mind. Our home was left clean and well cared for, and communication was excellent from start to finish. It was clear our dogs were treated with genuine care and attention. We have had several past bookings with Lauren and have several more booked in the future. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, dependable Rover sitter.
We could not be more pleased. Davin was really patient with Penny, our senior German shepherd rescue. He regularly texted updates to let us know how things were going. He’s super responsible and kind. We’ll definitely ask for Davin again. When we got home after two weeks away Penny was calm — none of the stress I would expect from kenneling. What a find! I highly recommend Davin—the fact that he is studying to be a vet tech is a big plus.

We recently learned about Rover, and until then it had been difficult for us to travel as a family. Thanks to her, we were able to enjoy a wonderful trip. Jennifer is very charming and kind. She checked in on our pets and made sure they were comfortable, and she willingly accepted our requests even while we were traveling. She also kindly sent us photos of them every day. She took great care of our home and kept everything very clean, which we truly appreciated. Thank you so much.
Giselle was absolutely wonderful!!! I was really nervous to leave our Hazel bully for a whole week. Giselle took excellent care of her , kept us updated daily with cute photos and allowed us to really enjoy our family vacation. When I came back the house was clean and I could tell Hazel had been well loved. Thank you Giselle. You are awesome!

FAQs for House Sitting - La Habra
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in La Habra on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 15,461 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across La Habra. 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 La Habra 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 La Habra 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 La Habra 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 La Habra. 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.
