“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!”
“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 awesome! She sent us pictures of our dogs and cat and brought in all our mail, watered our garden, and cleaned up after her stay. We have two big pittie mixes and a little 6 pound cat and they all loved her. We would absolutely recommend her!”
“Lena was an amazing caregiver for our two dogs while we were out of the country on vacation. She fully demonstrated all the attributes of an exceptional dog sitter— responsible, caring, conscientious, communicative, and nurturing. We would not hesitate to hire her again to watch our dogs and are deeply appreciative of her wonderful care of Remy and Tucker and for also looking after our home while we were gone. Lena is a true gem!”
“Chelsea was amazing with our two pups! We needed a sitter to watch our dogs in our hotel room while we enjoyed Disneyland as a family. We had never left them with a sitter before and was nervous about leaving them for the first time. Chelsea put our minds at ease with her amazing communication, flexibility when we had to make some change in travel plans and sent us pictures and video clips of our pups throughout the day when she watched them. We would not hesitate using them again the next time we’re in town for vacation.”
“Jessica sent me pictures to show me my pup’s activities, gave me several updates, promptly sought information and advice concerning my dog’s “quirky” behaviors (e.g., fly phobia), and even took a video for me of my pup’s reaction to my return. I was so grateful that she made my first time away from my dog for several nights possible and that my girl warmed up to her!🥰”
“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.”
About: I have been taking care of pets since I was young. I have always had two German Shepard and was frequently in charge of their care and walks. I have walked several other dogs as well as house sit for a lot of family friends. I’m currently working part-time and I am a full time student that goes to school in the mornings Monday-Thursday. I have open availability when I am not at work or school: at school from 8:35-2:45 on Mondays and Wednesdays and 10:10-1:10 on Tuesdays and Thursdays. My work days do vary but I always have my schedule one-two weeks in advance. I will be updating my schedule daily as my schedule is part-time and not set. If there are any questions feel free to let me know! Current work schedule: October 28th: 4:30-9:30 pm 31th: 1-5 pm November: 1st: 3-8 pm 2nd: 5-10 pm 5th: 5-10 pm 6th: 5-10 pm 8th: 3-8 pm 9th: 3:30-7:30 pm 11th: 5-10 pm 13th: 1-5 pm 14th: 5-10 pm I have always had large dogs growing up and am used to any loud noises and play that may deter or scare off other people. I personally take my dog to the dog park and am always open to taking dogs there as well! I am good at listening to instructions that vary for different pets. I love any and all dogs and am used to caring for more than one dog at a time. I am also used to taking more than one big dog on walks at a time.
“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.”
“Jacqueline is a very soft-spoken and kind lady who took care of our Nutella at our home for a little over two days. Our cat was very well cared for and we received multiple daily photos showing her activity, making us feel very comfortable about having left our cat in Jacqueline's care. She also took very good care of the home. We are very happy with the help Jacqueline gave us in caring for our cat when we were away and will easily consider her for the next time we have a similar need !”
“Tiffany is the perfect combination of firm and gentle for our somewhat mistrustful pooch. She’s worked with us to understand his quirks and preferences, and we have complete confidence in her ability to look after him (and our house) when we have to be away. It’s a gift to be able to leave town for a few days and have zero anxiety about the home front!”

About: I’ve had animals my whole life! I love being around them and getting to know new personalities! I also work with and ride horses! I am currently taking lessons! I work a part time job so I’ll likely be doing dog walking on the weekends! Occasionally I will be walking on weekdays as well! I have a fenced house! My two dogs love people and meeting new friends!

About: I am semi retired nurse and Im a homebody who’s obsessed with my own dog. I will be home to be at your dogs beck and call. I’m home all day and able to pamper my own dog. He goes out in the morning to potty and gets breakfast in the morning. In the evening we go to the park or walk the walking path down the street from my house.

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I was always bringing stray animals home and begging my parents to let me keep them. I was so insistent that they always ended up staying and becoming part of our family. I’ve also cared for my own cats through panleukopenia, which was a very tough and emotional experience, but it taught me a lot about being patient, attentive, and caring for pets when they need you most. My pets mean so much to me, and I would give your pets that same love, attention, and care For now, I’m available on Saturdays and Sundays, which gives me plenty of time to give your pets the attention and care they need. I’m happy to spend time playing with them, taking them on walks, feeding them, or just keeping them company. I want them to feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets. I’ll always follow your instructions and make sure they feel safe, comfortable and cared for. I’ll treat your pets and home with the same care and respect I would my own.
About: I have always had pets since I can remember from cats to dogs, bunnies, chickens, so I grew up caring for many animals. I would also pet sit for family members and friends. I currently have a dog and a bunny! I love exercise and nature, so I’m constantly outside playing sports or walking/running and hiking. I love to look for new spots for hikes or short walks and parks. I also have a part time job of only 12 hours a week so I have a lot of free time on my hands! I currently have a bunny who has her own little pen. My apartment in a gated community and near a park! I am very organized and can follow any specific routines needed for pets of any needs.

“We used Isabel this week for the first time - one drop in and one house sitting. Isabel provided great care for our 60 lb german shepherd mix.

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.
We absolutely loved having Alyssa as a sitter! We have one senior dog that needs a lot of care and a puppy so they can be a lot and she handled it all so well and communicated everything to us that really allowed us to relax and actually leave home for once. Cannot say thank you enough.
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 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.
Matthew was the best house/pet sitter I have had. He not only took very good care of our home but went above and beyond with our babies. He did everything we asked and did things he didn't even need to do to make it less stressful for us. I will definitely use him in the future and highly recommend him.

The average cost of House Sitting in La Habra is $56 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $44 and $84 per night.

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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.

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.
