“We were so happy with Tracy. She is very professional and I felt very comfortable leaving my furry babies with her. The dogs loved her immediately. I would fully recommend her. And I would not hesitate to use her again.”

“Maggie is amazing! She was in constant contact with me, sent many pictures and videos, which I asked her to do. My dogs love her so much and I know they were very well taken care of. I found her kind of last minute, she was available and accommodating to my time. I highly recommend Maggie, I am beyond happy I found her, and will definitely rebook next time!”
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 :)
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.

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.
“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!”
“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.”
“Ashley was a great sitter for Lucy. She was very polite and gentle. Her communication skills are excellent. This was the first time Ashley took care of Lucy and Lucy was settled in with her very quickly. I would definitely ask Ashly to house sit Lucy again and would highly recommend her for other pet parents.”
“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.”
“I am glad Kayla was able to sit my baby husky, Scale. I was able to do my errands without worrying about Scale. I love the pictures Kayla sent to update me of Scale's status. When I got home, Scale was calm and happy. I will recommend Kayla with my friends and relatives and definitely want her to sit Scale again.”
“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!!!”
“Alyssa did a great job as a walker and an overnight sitter for an extended stay. She bonded quickly with my not-so-friendly chihuahua rescue, and he trusted her to carry him before long. She kept us updated with pictures and grabbed a package that was delivered late. Will book again. Highly recommend!”
“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 !”
About: I have 6 years of veterinary technician experience that includes feeding, bathing, administering medications, performing cpr, taking basic vitals and quickly acting in emergency situations. I am gentle with seniors and patient with young pets. I always carry my compassion with me in and out of the workplace. I currently work 4x10s at an ER/Specialty hospital and that allows me to have 3 extra days to care for and love on your pets while you're away. I have 3 rabbits that I change out their hay, feed at 7 am and 7pm sharp, make toys for mental stimulation, and keep them entertained with supervised free roam time. My 5 cats follow a similar schedule with scooping their litter daily, feeding them home cooked meals and playing with them using several different cat toys to keep them entertained. Finally, I have cared for countess patients each with gentle love and care to ensure their experience at the vet is the least intimidating it can be.
About: Hi! My name is Elizabeth, but you can call me Liz. I grew up with both cats and dogs, so caring for animals has always been a part of my life. I’ve also pet sat for family friends over the years, giving me experience caring for pets while their owners are away. I’m organized, dependable, and a strong communicator. I understand how important it is to know your pet is in good hands, so I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos to give you peace of mind. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I’ll make sure they receive the care and attention they deserve. I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family and always aim to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free environment. My goal is to make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable and confident while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! As a substitute teacher, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to accept pet care requests on many afternoons, evenings, weekends, holidays, and school breaks. Since my work schedule can vary from day to day, I do my best to keep my calendar updated and communicate promptly about my availability. Whether your pet needs a quick drop-in visit or consistent care while you’re away, I’m organized, reliable, and committed to making sure they receive the attention and care they deserve. I always care for pets as if they were my own. In a client’s home, I do my best to maintain their pet’s normal routine by following feeding schedules, providing fresh water, giving them plenty of attention, and making sure they get the exercise or playtime they need. I also keep their living area clean and tidy and provide regular updates so owners know how their pet is doing. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, so I take the time to earn their trust and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Amy did a wonderful job with our four dogs! All of them have specific needs and she met every one while we were away for the weekend. We came home to a clean house and happy dogs! We will certainly rebook with Amy!”
“Vincent was all around the best dog sitter we’ve been fortunate to have for the girls. His attentiveness to their needs and his commitment and affection he gave to for our pups was above and beyond. We cannot wait to have him out to watch them again if we ever have a need for him. Thank you so much brother!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in La Habra is $63
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - La Habra
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.
Linda is absolutely wonderful! This was our second time booking her, and we couldn’t be happier to have her care for our cats again. She is incredibly responsive, communicative, trustworthy, and thoughtful. It’s clear how much she genuinely cares for our two cats—one energetic two-year-old and one senior—and she gave both of them so much love and attention. We felt completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands while we were away. She also took great care of our apartment. We would happily book Linda again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and trustworthy pet sitter!
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.
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.
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 September 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 September 2026, there are 15,332 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
- 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.
