“Elizabeth was absolutely amazing with Gravy and Berto while I was away for a week! She took such great care of them, kept me updated, and gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were safe and loved. I came home to two happy, well cared for cats. I’m so grateful for her and would definitely trust her to watch them again. I highly recommend Elizabeth! 🤍”

About: I’ve had puppies and dogs and cats all my life and have my own two cats and German shepherd/husky and German shepherd/Malinois. I work in healthcare and enjoy caring for others as well as caring for animals and want to ensure that your pets can be cared for and be safe. I work 3 12s a week so I’m usually available four days a week all day. It’s on a monthly basis so I’m able to communicate my days off to arrange services ahead of time. I am a responsible and respectful person, someone who can be trusted to look over your pets with no worries. I’m from the area and just looking to fill my free time and days off with building client connections for their pet care needs.

“It was my first time using Rover and Alexis made it a great experience! I had him do drop-in visits with my 5-month old kitten, Miko, who liked him from the very beginning. I appreciated the photos as well as the quality play time with Miko. If I ever go out of town again, I will definitely have Alexis look after Miko. I would recommend this guy to any friend or neighbor. Thanks so much, Alexis! ?”

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.

“Arika did an incredible job taking care of Orion, our cat while we were away for a week. She brushed him every day, brought interesting toys for him to try out, and gave him lots of amazing care and attention! She even sent pix and videos. She also did small details like bring in the mail and even asked if we needed plants to be watered. She ended up watering our garden boxes which kept our plants alive while we were away. We would highly recommend Arika! She is kind and very professional and we were so happy that our cat had such great care.”

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.

About: I have been around dogs ever since I was born, having two of my own. I have pet sit for family and friends before. I potty-trained my own dog as a puppy at the age of eight, as well as tricks like sitting and staying. I’m also quite fond of cats and have had less experience with them, but am more than happy to provide cat care. Monday-Friday I have football practice from 3-7, so anytime before or after I am free. I am currently working on freeing up my Saturdays and Sundays, so hours will change. If I am in your home I will be sure to respect your privacy and will only access what you as an owner want me to be around. My only focus will be your pet and making sure they receive what you have requested.

About: Ive grown up surround by animals. Over the last 3 years, I’ve provided in-home pet care, giving fur babies my full attention, learning their personalities, and keeping them happy while parents are away. I am currently jobhunting, which allows me plenty of time and attention to each pet, keeping their normal routines, providing walks, playtime, meals, cuddles, and companionship. I love getting to know each pet’s personality and making sure they feel happy, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. I follow each owner’s instructions and routines to ensure their pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own environment. I have experience administering medications as directed by owners and understand the importance of following care instructions closely. I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality, behaviors, and habits so I can provide personalized care.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was nine years old, and animals have always been a huge part of my life. Growing up with dogs taught me responsibility, patience, and how to truly understand their needs. I also have hands-on experience working on ranches, where I cared for not only dogs but also other animals in a busy, outdoor environment. This taught me how to handle pets of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. Whether it’s going on long walks, providing structured playtime, or simply giving extra cuddles, I’m committed to keeping every dog happy, healthy, and loved like my own. As a part-time student, I have a flexible schedule that makes it easy to fit pet care into my daily routine. I already dedicate time each day to walking and running, so including dogs in my active lifestyle feels natural and rewarding. Caring for pets not only matches my energy, but also gives me the joy of sharing my routine with them. I’m currently working to pay for my university expenses, and Rover allows me to do that while doing something I genuinely love—spending time with animals. Your pets will always get my full attention, care, and affection, as I treat every dog as if they were my own. I currently have two dogs of my own, so I understand the daily responsibility and care that goes into keeping pets happy and healthy. They are extremely energetic, spending most of their time outdoors, but they also sleep and partially live indoors with me. Because of their high energy, I make sure their water is replenished multiple times throughout the day to keep them hydrated, and they are fed once a day on a consistent schedule.

About: A Lifetime of Caring for Animals Hello! My name is George, and I’m a retired mailman with 38 years of experience serving my community. Now that I have retired, I’m looking forward to spending my time doing something I truly love—caring for animals. Animals have always been an important part of my life. Over the years, I’ve rescued and cared for many animals and have had 13 pets of my own.  Currently, I have 2 wonderful dogs and 3 affectionate indoor cats. I also share my home with 7 lovely parrots.  Best of all, we all happily live together under one roof! Our house is a comfortable Ranch-style home of 2200 square feet.  It is situated on half an acre of land with a lower and upper tree-lined backyard.  Plenty of space for animals to run and play! I understand that leaving your pets with someone else requires trust. I will treat your pets with the same patience, kindness, and care that I give my own. Whether your dog needs a good walk, some companionship, or you need someone responsible and dependable to care for your pets and home while you're away. I’m so happy to help you and your pets with any needs. After a lifetime of being responsible for getting the job done, I take reliability seriously. I’m patient, caring, attentive, and I genuinely enjoy being around animals. I would love the opportunity to meet you and your pets and become someone you can feel comfortable trusting with their care. Your animals aren’t just pets—they’re family, and I’ll treat them that way! As a retiree, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time for walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, and giving every pet the attention they deserve. I treat every pet like family, giving them lots of love, patience, attention, playtime, and companionship while keeping them comfortable, happy, and safe at all times during their care.

Celia is the best caregiver for my babies; she was so warm, gentle, and kind with Mocha and Stinky. She looked after, protected, and cared for them perfectly, always making sure they were doing well. She also notices when something isn't right with them—I don't know how she does it, but she can tell when something is amiss with your pets. She always keeps you updated on how they are doing and checks in on them regularly.

Emilia was absolutely fantastic. She walked two dogs I’m currently sitting for, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the start, she was communicative, reliable, and clearly experienced with handling multiple dogs at once. What stood out most was the level of care and attention she gave them. She sent photos during the walk, which was incredibly reassuring and thoughtful. You could tell the dogs were comfortable, engaged, and genuinely enjoying their time with her. When they came back, they were perfectly tired in the best way—calm, happy, and clearly well-exercised. That alone speaks volumes about the quality of her walk and how well she managed their energy. It’s not easy trusting someone else with animals in your care, but Emilia made it effortless. I would absolutely use her again without hesitation and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable, attentive, and professional dog walker.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in La Mirada on Rover is $21.09 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 21,719 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across La Mirada. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a La Mirada stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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 .

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.

  • 89% 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.

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.
