About: Hello! My name is Layla and I am currently a full-time college student with extra time on my hands, my schedule can be extremely flexible on the days that I am available. I feel being a pet sitter suits me because a. I love animals, b. I’m very attentive and organized, and c. Earning a wage by hanging out/taking care of your fur babies sounds like a dream! I currently have two big dogs and one cat that I care for almost every day. I take the dogs for walks, play fetch with them, and take them out to go potty. I love spoiling my cat with new stimulating toys, cat trees, and lots of cuddles 🥰 I’m currently a full-time student with some spare time, a part-time job seems too much for me to handle while also engaging in school. I adore animals and it would be amazing to earn money while spending time and caring for them 🥲 A list offered of how you want me to care for your pet is preferred. I understand pets can have different quirks and I’m totally adaptable to anything that’s thrown at me. I love animals and their unique personalities! I’d like to follow your routine to care for your animal, just like you never left!
About: Pending on parents wishes, we take walks, play, I will have doggie toys or they can bring their own. I can do medication, including injections, give them breakfasts and snacks pending parents bringing what the babies like Im currently available everyday, once I start my daily job, I can still stay at your homes, and walk, feed and play. And all day onweekends, mindful that I am available now 24/7 I have a fenced yard, no other doggies on property. I always say less is more when it comes to meeting a new pup no matter the age. This is to gain trust with myself and them.
“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 😊”
“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!”
About: Caring for animals has been a part of my life from a young age, and I’ve had hands-on experience with a wide variety of pets ranging from small animals like hamsters to large animals like horses. This has made me very comfortable understanding different temperaments, routines, and care needs. I also have extensive experience caring for senior pets, including those who require extra patience, medication, slower routines, and more attentive supervision. Whether your pet is playful, shy, energetic, or in their golden years, I provide calm, dependable care tailored to their individual personality and stage of life. I currently work part-time as a virtual assistant from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to be present throughout the day. Because my work is remote and not tied to strict set hours, I am able to easily incorporate pet care into my daily routine while providing frequent attention, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and consistent supervision I understand that every pet has their own personality, comfort level, and routine, and I take the time to adjust my care to what makes them feel safest and most comfortable. My goal is to create a calm, attentive, and loving environment where each pet receives the patience, supervision, respect, and one-on-one attention they deserve. I know time away from home can be stressful, so I do everything I can to help pets feel secure, relaxed, and cared for while keeping owners updated for peace of mind.
“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.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, from smaller pups to larger breeds, and I’ve also cared for cats my whole life. I grew up around animals and have been a pet owner for most of my life. I have experience caring for pets who are sick, need medication administered, or simply need a little extra TLC. I also have plenty of experience with senior dogs. Whether it’s going for walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, I love being a friendly and comforting face for any furry friend who needs some extra love and attention. 🤍🐾 I’m currently working part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for your pets! I’m available for boarding on weekends and I’ll have plenty of time for walks, playtime, cuddles, and lots of attention. 🐾💗 Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time and a friendly cat at home to keep them company. I’m happy to follow their usual routine, feeding schedule, and any special instructions you provide.
About: I provide attentive, reliable care tailored to each pet’s needs, with learning experience in puppy training, senior support, medication assistance, and maintaining a calm, safe environment.

Win, Win, Win all sides, the pets, my clients, and my pleasure!

“Esther was wonderful with our Kiki. She was nice, clean, responsible, and took great care of our dog and house. It was the first time we were on vacation from our puppy and Esther sent us updates and videos so we knew Kiki was in good hands. Highly recommend Esther for your dog sitting needs.”
About: I grew up with and cared for all kinds of pets, even farm animals! I currently have 3 cats and 2 puppies. I've also cared for pets in clients homes as a caregiver. I'm currently doing school online so I have a lot of free time to hang out with your fur baby and a flexible schedule for consistency. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routines, and needs. Whether that means long walks, playtime, cuddles, or quiet companionship, I adjust my care to what makes your pet happiest. I closely follow all care instructions, including feeding, walks, medications, and any special needs. Communication is key so of course you'll be getting updates and some cute pics of your babies.
“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.”
“Isabella took care of our pup while we spent the day at a theme park. She was able to come last minute to be with our dog in our hotel room while we were at the park. Our dog was anxious being alone so last minute we decided to find him a sitter to be with him while we were gone. Isabella had great communication and texted us photos of our dog while we were at the park, as well as sent us text updates when she let him out, how he has doing, etc. She was able to accommodate the time frame we gave her and was flexible when it took us a bit longer to get back from the park. She was great with our dog and took great care of him! Would highly recommend her to other people needing a pet sitter!”
“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!”
“Jade took great care of our senior GSD for 6 days. She communicated with us about Buzo's feeding schedule and made sure that he's fed on time. I'd highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs. :)”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - La Mirada
Chloe was truly a Godsend watching our house and our precious fur babies! We had a fantastic time know that they were well taken care of!! Even in the midst of an October extreme heat warning she took the initiative to turn the AC on and let the animals out for playtime in the coolness of the morning and evening. And when we asked her to bring in the mail and Amazon packages she did so without hesitation. Chloe is a star pet sitter!! You’ll be so glad to book her to watch your pets 🥰
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.
We had a wonderful first-time experience using Rover, and we feel so lucky to have found Amy. She provided frequent updates and photos of our fur baby—just enough to reassure us that he was doing well and give us peace of mind while we were on vacation. Amy truly went above and beyond. She spent quality time cuddling with him, took him on extra walks, and even kindly took out the trash for us. We will definitely be booking Amy again in the future and highly recommend her to our coworkers and friends!
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.

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 Mirada 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 Mirada 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 Mirada 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!

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 .
