“Tracy was fantastic. Our boys were well taken care of and pampered while we were away. The house was well cared for and some of my plants have even revived with Tracy’s efforts. Highly recommended!”
“Angela was absolutely amazing! She is so nice and she took very good care of our fur baby, Nora, while away for the weekend. Nora bonded with her immediately during our meet and greet and she left the house clean and Nora very happy! We definitely want to book her in the future. Thank you so much, Angela!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats my entire life. I grew up helping with my family’s dog kennel, where we raised French Brittany dogs. I helped care for puppy litters from birth, raised and trained puppies, and even showed two of our dogs in dog shows. That upbringing taught me the responsibility, patience, and attention to detail that animals need to thrive. Cats have always had a special place in my heart. I’ve had three cats over the years and currently share my home with two, so I’m very comfortable with feline routines, personalities, and quirks. While cats are my specialty, my years at the kennel give me solid, hands-on experience with dogs as well. I love both cats and dogs, and I’d be honored to care for yours. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind while you’re away, knowing your pets are safe, comfortable, and getting the love and attention they deserve. I work from home as a website account manager for a small web design firm, which gives me a flexible schedule built around my laptop rather than an office. That flexibility means I can plan my day around your pet’s needs, whether that’s regular feedings, walks, playtime, or medication schedules. My only fixed commitment is Wednesday mornings, when I have mandatory meetings. The rest of the week I’m available throughout the day, so your pet gets consistent attention and care without being rushed. I believe great pet care comes down to consistency and paying close attention. With my own two cats, I keep a steady routine: a daily evening meal (plus an automatic feeder in the mornings) and litter boxes cleaned every day. When I first adopted one of my cats, she had ongoing tummy troubles, so I had her allergy tested and worked through several foods until we found one that settled her stomach. She’s been healthy ever since. My other cat struggled with going outside the litter box, and over several months I figured out the routine, litter, and box setup that worked for her. Accidents are now rare. I bring that same patience and attention to every pet I care for. I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, medications, and any special needs, and I’ll keep an eye out for any changes in appetite, behavior, or litter box habits so I can let you know right away. Your home and your pet’s safety are my priority, and I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you never have to wonder how they’re doing.
“amy is fantastic and took such great care of our very elderly, high-maintenance doggies. i so appreciated her communication and daily cute photos of our kiddos!!! and, we came home to a very clean house (she even started some laundry for us!)!”
“Kat has always been great and my 14 yr old dog just loves her. My dog is still very active and loves her walks in Bellevue Park. I know she is getting lots of belly rubs and Kat makes sure she stays healthy while I am away on long trips.”
“Athena was fantastic! She took exceptional care of our senior GSD, played soccer with her, rescued her from an unexpected dip in our spa (ball chasing), and communicated clearly. Bonus, she is a great pet photographer and we received several frame-worthy photos and really fun videos while we were away. Highly recommend.”
“Alexis was absolutely wonderful with the dogs, on time, and very reliable. We maintained excellent communication before, and while he looked after our pets. Alexis was very accommodating, pleasant, respectful, trustworthy, and would choose him 100000% every time I would need to trust someone to look after my fur babies. Very, very happy ???”
About: With a lifetime of experience surrounded by dogs, I bring a deep affection and understanding of our furry friends. Over the years, I've had the privilege of regularly house-sitting for two households each with a pairs of dogs, providing consistent and attentive care.

I respect your space and adhere to any specific instructions you provide, ensuring your pet is treated with love, attention, and the highest level of care in their own environment.

“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. She sent us photos & video and was thorough and professional. We are already planning to use her again 2 more times this month. We are so glad we found her!”
“Emma is such a wonderful person you can put your trust to care of your furry baby. She constantly sent me updates and pictures of mi little monster. And she took my Freyja for many walkies. Freyja absolutely loved Emma!”
About: I have years of personal experience caring for dogs of all ages and sizes, with a deep understanding of senior dog care and daily routines. My home is safe, attentive, and welcoming. I treat every visiting pet like family, ensuring they feel happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you are away. I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to caring for pets. I am available throughout the week to provide constant attention, regular feeding, play, and long walks. I provide a clean, quiet, and safe home environment for all pets. Safety is my top priority, so I strictly follow all owner instructions for feeding, routines, and leash safety during outdoor walks.
About: I think pets are like angels sent by God to heal everything, so when I am with pets, I am always very happy. I get along with them more like friends, an equal human relationship. I don't work right now. So o have enough time to take care of your dog. I have a big yard and plenty of space for them to play. I have a four month old German Shepherd at home. He is very friendly and can play with your dog. I also have a large dog crate that can be used to keep your dog in when needed.
“Jade house-sat and took care of our senior shih tzu over Christmas while we were on vacation. She was so kind and attentive, and sent lots of photo updates and videos so we never worried about our home or our baby while we were away. Communication was excellent, and she left the house clean and gave our pup lots of fun social outings. We'll definitely book Jade again!”
“Stephanie was absolutely wonderful! She stayed in our home and took such great care of our dog Mookie and our house. From the moment we met her, we felt completely comfortable and knew Mookie was in good hands. She was responsible, communicative, respectful and sent lots of updates and photos. We would absolutely trust Stephanie with our home and dog again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.”
“Alyssa was AMAZING with my 3 kitties when she house sat for me for 5 days. She provided the best care and I could tell right off the bat how much she enjoys what she does! I wish I could give her 10 stars for a fantastic job — and I will definitely be using her again in the future!!!”
About: I have my own dog and grew up with a variety of animals. I currently take care of neighbors pets in my complex, surrounding cities, and the app. I Iwanted to be a veterinarian but since that didn't work out now I will help and pets in a way that is equally rewarding! This is my passion! If I didn't need to pay bills then I would do this for free! So don't leave your animal in the care of someone who JUST wants cash. Your pets are like my own and I will treat them as such:) So care for your canine and choose this alpha... I only do this exclusively so there will be no distractions or lack of care on my part. I will have a hundred percent devotion to your pet as it always should be. I have my dog that is jealous with other animals so I will have to go to the clients home for the walk, drop in, or sitting. There is nothing better then having your pet comfortable in their own environment:)
About: Born and raised around dogs of every size, age, and personality. I come with over 20 years of experience taking care of dogs from teething to medication and senior care, and am ready to adapt my care to your pets unique needs and your own standards. I have an open schedule aside from Mondays, which I use to plan and prepare for the week ahead. On Wednesdays, I have morning commitments that keep me occupied from 7AM to 1PM. (I am able to be booked for housesitting care through Wednesdays for pets that can be left alone for those hours.) Prior to care, I am eager to discuss your pet's regular schedule, health conditions and treatments, temperament around other animals and humans, any emergency contacts, nearest preferred veterinary care, any training and walk routines, and areas of the home that require any specific attenion or caution. I like having open conversation prior to care not just about specifics of care, but about the best ways to keep in contact with you and the level of updates that you prefer during your pet's care!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - La Habra
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. 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 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.
