“I am so grateful to Ms. Sofia for taking such a good care of our Milo and Tyson. We were desperate for someone, at the last minute, to house sit them for 4 days. She has shown great responsibility with our home and our fur babies. They loved her! Sofia updated us every few hours with quick text and pictures. She walked them, played with them and fed them as according to our instructions. It is rather nerve wracking to trust one with your home and animals that you adore, but she has gone and above and we will continue to book her. Thank you Sofia for all your care and love for Tyson and Milo! You are their new best friend!”
“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.”
“We love Alex! Alex takes beautiful care of our fur babies and tortoise and our home. We never have to worry, they are in great hands while we are away. Alex sends wonderful photos and makes recommendations that we greatly appreciate. We highly recommend Alex.”
“amy is so wonderful! she bailed us out at the last minute for a daylong sitting for two very elderly dogs (one of which is extremely high maintenance), complete with meds! the house was immaculate and i know she had to clean up after them! thank you, amy!!!”
About: Love, Patience,Caring, Attentive all the qualities I have to give to all pet owners needing help! Have 2 dogs of my own that I love and would risk my life for!! Unsure unfortunately, I’m in school so my schedule changes about every 6 weeks! But I am always ready to fit your needs into my schedule !! In any way shape or form I will do anything needed to keep your baby safe and sound in your home!!! Will follow to a T
About: I love dogs and dream about getting my own. I’ve pet-sat for families since I was 10 and grew up with my two Goldendoodles, who I absolutely adore and consider my babies, named Olive and Cedar! I’m comfortable with daily walks, playtime, feeding routines, medications, and making sure pets feel safe, loved, and cared for while their owners are away. I naturally connect with animals and treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m reliable, attentive, and love being active with dogs—whether that’s going on walks, giving them attention, or just making sure they feel comfortable and happy. I currently work 1–2 days per week at the hospital as a pediatric oncology CNA, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. On my days off, I’m available for dog walks, drop-in visits, and overnight stays. I’m able to be consistent with routines like feeding, walks, and playtime, and I enjoy spending my free time being active and caring for animals. My schedule allows me to be reliable and fully present when I’m caring for pets. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walk times, medication needs if applicable, and any specific care preferences the owner has. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and exercise, especially walks for dogs to help them stay happy and calm while their owners are away. I also focus on creating a safe, clean environment and making sure pets feel secure and not stressed in their owner’s absence.
“Tracy was wonderful. Our dog (Great Dane) was very comfortable with her and well taken care of. She was responsive, sent pictures throughout her stay and will definitely be using her services again. 5 stars!!”
About: I have lived with dogs my entire life. Since the day I was born I have never been without a dog. I often watch my own dogs and help out friends and family when they need it. I have worked and lived with all sizes and sorts of canines. I love dogs and am willing to accommodate whatever your dog needs! I am currently studying Zoology at UCSB and love to work with animals! I am working part time, but that won’t stop me from giving all the love I can to your pet! As someone who’s been with dogs her entire life, I know how to attend to the small things dogs need. Depending on your dog’s needs, I will adapt to whatever needs to be done.
About: Trained my own dog to walk properly on a leash with patience and consistency • Experienced handling dogs with different personalities and energy levels • Comfortable with feeding, playtime, and giving pets attention and affection • Patient and attentive with shy, nervous, or high-energy dogs I am currently working part-time and going to school full-time. Pet walking fits perfectly with my schedule, plus to hang out and walk animals doesn’t feel like a job to me since I love animals. Even though my cat is mainly outside, my two dogs are surrounded by a fence. So if needed, I can create your fur baby to the destination of walking.
“Olivia is the best dog sitter in town! Truly a gem! We were so blessed to have Olivia care for our Teddy while away on a 6 day vacation to Hawaii. She was always available and provided all of Teddy’s needs. I can’t express my gratitude with just words. She went above and beyond caring for our Teddy while away. Teddy has found a new best friend in Olivia. My trip was care free because I left my pup in good hands. Theres nothing better than to have peace of mind that my Teddy was being fed, walked and played with daily. I recommend Olivia for your furry friend. You will not be disappointed. Thanks again Olivia! 🐶”
About: I have taken care of many dogs of all sizes throughout my life. I have trained puppies, as well as cared for senior dogs in the past. I have always cared deeply for dogs and always want to make sure all their needs are met. I would love to be a sitter for your fur baby and provide a safe and loving environment for them. I have very open availability and would love to spend this time with your fur babies. I am currently free everyday and will always try to work with your schedule if you let me know ahead of time. I provide care for pets by meeting their basic needs. I have food, toys, and a big backyard for them to run around in. If I am in a clients home, I will use what they provide to me, but am also able to take my own doggy bags for when I take them on walks. I am always respectful of the owners homes and want to provide the best service for their pet.
“Angela is great. She pet-sat my baby with great care. My dog has weak, rare legs, and Angela brought her heating mat for him. She updated me on my dog daily. I highly recommend her.”
“Britney took wonderful care of my Australian Shepherd while I had a last-minute trip. She's incredibly attentive, communicates exceptionally well, and brings such positive energy to everything she does. She listens carefully to what you need and consistently goes above and beyond. I'd definitely book her again—thank you, Britney!”
“Kayla has watched our boys twice and done a tremendous job. Not only does she make sure they are feeling loved, she also made sure she cleaned up after herself. Would recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter!”
About: I previously worked as a handler for a trained detection dog, where I spent every day building a strong, trusting bond with her through care, patience, and consistent training. We worked together in different environments, which taught me how important it is to keep dogs feeling safe, comfortable, and understood no matter where they are. That experience really shaped how I care for pets which is with lots of attention, responsibility, and genuine love. I’m currently working part time and am a college student but am flexible and can work evenings on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays providing walking or drop ins! I care for pets like my own, following their usual routines for feeding, walks, and playtime. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved, while keeping your home clean and respected. I also send regular updates so you feel at ease.
“Amanda looked after my two dogs and house for 12 days and did an incredible job. She sent photos every day and when I returned the house was spotless. Will definitely use her in the future and highly recommend.”
“Katrina has been so wonderful to us. Ben loves having her company & we love the peace of mind of having her home with him when we're away. As usual, she's very reliable, friendly, easy to communicate with, and we'll continue to use her services.”
About: Cat mom to two spoiled kitties and trusted dog-sitter for my family’s allergy-prone pup. I’m patient, attentive, and committed to making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Whether it’s playtime, cuddle time, or sticking to a detailed routine, I’ll care for your pets as if they were my own. No school, no 9-5. I work from my phone and laptop, and am in control of my own work schedule. I'm venturing into pet-sitting gigs to help fund my entrepreneurship journey. As a fellow pet owner, I know that the paranoia is REAL! I will always send pictures and videos, bug you with questions to be extra careful, and make the effort to build rapport and trust with my clients.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - La Mirada
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.
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 would absolutely trust them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and responsible sitter. Thank you for taking such amazing care of our pups—we’re so grateful! 🐶💛

FAQs for House Sitting - La Mirada
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in La Mirada on Rover is $66.6 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 15,484 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across La Mirada. 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 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 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 Mirada. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
