“Britney was amazing house sitting with Cleo. She followed all directions and requests and was very communicative. There was an issue when a construction crew broke a gas main near my home, and the police came to the door saying residents needed to evacuate! I was a wreck but Britney was so calm and collected and kept me updated. Most importantly, she kept herself and my pup safe! I cannot recommend her enough, especially if you are nervous leaving your dog like I am!”
“Tracy was absolutely wonderful! Our pets loved her and she took great care of both them and our home. She left our home clean and even took care of an ant infestation we had while we were away! She sent us updates with pictures of how the pets were doing while we were away. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for an excellent sitter for their pets!”
“Esther is such an amazing person , so positive, loving, and full of warmth! She cared for my dogs and cats with so much love and even helped me organize my home. She’s truly perfect, and I’ll definitely work with her again. I trust her completely with my babies and can’t recommend her enough!”
“Maggie took great care of our pups while we were on vacation for 5 days. She walked them daily gave them lots of love and provided lots of photos and communication. We will definitely hire her in the future. Thank you Maggie!”
“Jade was phenomenal house sitting for my dog! It was a short notice, long weekend stay she was able to accommodate for nicely, and was even able to stay an extra night when my flight home was delayed. Communication was great and I recieved many pictures of Daisy enjoying herself (and treats) while I was away!”
“Kaylynn stayed overnight and took wonderful care of my two BIG strong breed dogs- Pitt Bull and Bull terrier. —-she loves animals! Also took great care of my home and cleaned dogs dishes. Highly recommend her.”
“Angela is amazing! She houses sat and watched my Honey for 3 days while we were out of town. She kept us updated morning and night and sent lots of photos. Thank you Angela for spoiling our baby.”
“Tiffany did an amazing job staying with our golden retriever this past weekend! From the minute we met her, we knew she would treat our Rocket well. She was very professional - asking all the right questions and taking notes. And Tiffany went out of her way to make sure her schedule worked with ours, Rocket got his walks, meals and plenty of head massages! We had no concerns while we were away - Tiffany kept us updated about their days together and how Rocket was doing, including lots of pics! I highly recommend Tiffany if you are looking for someone to show your fur baby love and attention!”
“Lena is amazing. Kind, responsible, responsive, exact, caring, gentle, honest, capable, safe…all the characteristics you need and want in a furbaby sitter. She stayed in my home with my furchild, Summer, sent pictures and videos often, followed my detailed, and particular, directions exactly, and most importantly, Summer loves her!! Lena made my time away from Summer bearable. Will request Lena again soon, and without reservation.”
“Jennifer was an outstanding sitter. One of our dogs has separation anxiety and she made sure to make him feel very comfortable. He was not stressed at all while in her care, and was happy to see her in the morning. She was very communicative and responded quickly when I messaged her. She went above and beyond for our boys. I would definitely book with Jennifer again and recommend her to anyone! Thank you for taking such good care of our fur baby’s !”
“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 were SO grateful to have found Chloe. She is a great “baby”-sitter. She sent us so many cute pictures of the girls. Our girls were very comfortable with her. We had them with another sitter recently (and our dogs came back very stressed). With Chloe, we came back to happy healthy dogs! Lots of pictures of our anxious girl who doesn’t trust anyone else sleeping her usual “belly up” position which she only does when she feels safe. And a few sweet cuddle photos just after a day. On a practical note - she respected our house & our boundaries which was very appreciated. Followed all the routines. Took them on walks. We are very picky & we have full faith that you can trust her with your pets 😊”
“amy is so wonderful! she bailed us out at the last minute for a daylong sitting for two very elderly dogs (one of which is extremely high maintenance), complete with meds! the house was immaculate and i know she had to clean up after them! thank you, amy!!!”
“Holly was the perfect house sitter for Lucy. She has a very calm and soft demeanor and Lucy was comfortable with her in no time at all. Holly was very attentive and responsive throughout the whole process and I was comfortable knowing I could reach her easily. I would definitely ask Holly to watch Lucy again and would highly recommend her to others looking for a trusted carer for their pets.”
“Veronica was so sweet, communicative and sent SO MANY photos of my dog which i really appreciate! I highly recommend her for anyone looking for a fun, communicative and overall wonderful sitter!”
About: I’ve always been the go-to person for friends and family when they need someone to care for their pets while they’re on vacation or away from home. From puppies to senior dogs! I make sure their pets get plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and love while also keeping their home safe and cared for. I’m dependable, attentive, and often available on short notice when unexpected needs come up. When I’m not walking dogs or pet sitting, I work part-time as a therapist, so being patient, responsible, and caring is a big part of who I am! Hello! I CAN PROVIDE OVERNIGHT STAY ANY DAY OF THE WEEK (7pm-8am)🩷 and I can offer services during the day/all day on weekends, and Tuesday and Thursday since I work from home. Monday/wed/Friday I can do drop in, if needed during the day since I work locally AVAILABLE FOR CAT SITTING AT MY HOME ANYTIME 🩷 I am home all day on weekends, and Tuesday and Thursdays. However I work 5 minutes from home on mon/wed/friday so I can do drop ins to feed/check-in/play :)
“Kat was terrific! She took care of our home and our pups so well, regularly texting pictures of her time with Drogo and Khaleesi hanging out with her, we felt so thankful to have her caring for them while we were on vacation. She cleaned everything up really well, it felt the house was cleaner when we returned than when we left! A plus plus plus!!”
“We have rebooked Kayla multiple times because she not only great with our cat and dog but she also keeps us updated consistently. Getting photos and videos throughout the trip always helps us relax even more! Plus the pets are so excited to see her every time. Will Rebook soon!”

I’ve trusted Linda multiple times with my 8 cats and home. She is attentive to detail, sweet, kind and respected my home. I will be rebooking with her in the future and recommend to anyone reading this review. Thank you Linda! Neil, Kurt, Mario, Binko Bear, Sonic, Lucy, Charlie and Federico say hello and thank you for all the cuddles, treats, and pets 🥹❤️🐈⬛
Oh my goodness! I almost don't want to leave a review because it make make Vincent's schedule so busy that I will have a hard time booking with him again! He is a gem! He checks all the boxes for a pet and housesitter; kind, considerate, keeps in touch, cheerful, prompt....the superlatives are all there and all well deserved. Our pets absolutely loved him (even the fussy cat!) and I feel that everything is in competent hands while I'm away.
Tracy is a treasure. She was a terrific caregiver, companion, BFF, and all around great sport for our very active Doberman pinscher. We so appreciated her attentiveness, kindness and willingness to engage and play with Samson. We highly recommend her and plan to use her again.
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.
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.

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 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.
