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.
“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!”
“Tracy did an excellent job caring for our dog. Our dog was comfortable and happy with her. She gave us updates on how our dog was doing with pictures, and was very friendly and personable.”
“What an incredible in-home experience! Not accustomed to being left alone, Gilly our Basset Hound is gleeful when she comes through the door after her first day sitting. She is sensitive to all his requests and needs. He is one happy dog. She devotes every moment to your pup and comes up with great experiences to keep them content and entertained She respects your boundaries for your pet with love. He has been through a lot of major changes the last few years and can be anxious when something new comes along. With Britney, he is so calm and has all the confidence in the world she will protect him. Britney is very knowledgeable and communicates very well. We highly recommend her and wish she was our human caretaker. We will hire her again and again.”
“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 🥰”
About: Being around animals brings me a lot of joy. I love discovering their individual personalities because, just like people, every pet is different. When I meet an animal, I pay attention to their energy and let them show me what they need. Some want to play immediately, some are cautious, and some would rather observe from across the room for a while. I’m happy to meet them wherever they are rather than forcing interaction. My Shiba and Malamute have taught me plenty about that. My Malamute is a big-time attention seeker, while my Shiba prefers his personal space (although he occasionally gives in to a cuddle and then mysteriously ends up snoring next to me). 😂 I keep boarding intentionally small so your pet gets the attention they deserve in a calm home environment. I’m comfortable with puppies, seniors, energetic dogs, shy pets, and animals who need medication or extra patience. Most importantly, I’ll follow the care and routines you want for your pet. You know them best, and I want their stay to feel as comfortable and familiar as possible. Pet care is my full-time focus, so I have flexibility for early mornings, midday visits, overnights, and last-minute requests when available. I’m responsive and happy to work around your pet’s normal routine, including specific feeding, exercise, or medication schedules. My home is calm, non-smoking, and fully fenced. I have two dogs of my own, and I’m experienced with introducing and managing animals thoughtfully so everyone can feel comfortable. I keep boarding intentionally small and pay close attention to each pet’s temperament and needs. Client dogs stay leashed until we’re safely inside, and I don’t take them to dog parks. For house sitting, I treat your home with the same respect I would want for my own. I’ll follow your routines, care for your space, and make sure your pets get the same attention and consistency they’re used to.
“Rebecca is a fantastic sitter who took great care of both our house and our new cat Baby Lizard. She sent us lots of photos, did face time calls when asked, stuck to our vet's dietary instructions, and gave Blizzard lots of cuddles but also just chill time and space. She also helped out with managing our home, taking out trash, cleaning litter boxes and making sure the house stayed safe while we were on our trip. We will DEFINITELY be booking Rebecca again to watch our Baby Lizzy!”
“I had an absolutely wonderful experience with our Rachel! She was exceptional from start to finish—caring, responsible, communicative, and clearly loves dogs. I felt completely comfortable knowing my dog was in such good hands. She kept me updated, sent pictures, and treated my dog like one of her own. It was such a relief to know he was happy, safe, and well cared for while I was away. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, loving, and dependable dog sitter. I will definitely be booking with her again!”
About: Hi! I’m a caring and dependable dog lover who enjoys spending time with dogs and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I have experience taking care of my own childhood dog for 18 years and occasionally friends and family pets, and I understand how important it is to give every dog attention, patience, and care. Whether we’re going on walks, playing, enjoying some company during a drop-in visit, or spending the day together, I’ll do my best to make your dog feel comfortable and cared for. I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual routine and any special instructions you provide. I know that every dog has their own personality, and I want to make sure each one gets the love and attention they deserve. I’ll treat your pup with kindness and care, just as I would want someone to treat my own. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your fur baby!
“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: While I’m new to Rover, I’ve been caring for pets and homes for over 15 years. I have experience with dogs, cats, senior pets, medication administration, and multi-pet households. I’m excited to bring that experience to Rover and build lasting relationships with local pet families. (: FUN FACT: I have the same birthday as Caesar Milan, so I’m kinda like a dog whisperer 🤪 I’m a housewife with no pets or children of my own. I do theater every now and then but overall my schedule is wide open and ready to share the love and care necessary for your furry companion. I’m not sure why Rover says I don’t allow animals on the furniture. I don’t mind unless it’s a rule within your home to keep them down (: I will honor all of your wishes with caring for your loved one and treat them as if they were my own. I have a fenced backyard and safe neighborhood for walks. Your furry friends will be protected and their comfort is always going to be top priority whether in your home or mine. (:
About: Hi, pet parents! 🐾 I am Meagan, and I absolutely love animals! Caring for pets isn’t just a job to me—it’s something I genuinely enjoy and take a lot of pride in. I am also a proud cat mom to two very spoiled cats of my own, so I know firsthand how much our pets mean to us and how important it is to have someone trustworthy caring for them. Whether your furry friend needs a fun walk, a cozy check-in, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, or someone to keep them company while you’re away, I’m happy to help! I’m attentive, patient, dependable, and I’ll always treat your pets with the same love, kindness, and care I would want for my own. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, quirks, and comfort level, so I’m happy to follow your instructions and make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re gone. I also know how hard it can be to leave your pets behind. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing that your babies are in caring, responsible hands—and to make their time without you as happy and stress-free as possible! I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family! 🐾 I currently have open availability and am caring for pets full-time, allowing me to be flexible and accommodate your pet’s needs and schedule I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort by following your pet’s routine, maintaining a clean environment, and providing attentive, loving care in your home or mine
“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.”

“Hailee is amazing! I felt so comfortable with her watching my baby and I was able to enjoy my trip because I knew my dog was well taken care of with her. I got plenty of pics, videos, and updates and it was always reassuring. She followed all directions perfectly and was very easy to communicate with. She is definitely my new go to sitter!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - La Mirada
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.

The average cost of House Sitting in La Mirada is $67 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $43 and $127 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 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.
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 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!
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in La Mirada. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% 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.
