“As usual, I could absolutely count on Lizett when I was away! I feel at ease knowing Lucky is with his friend, and will be well cared for. She always leaves the home super clean, and I come back my happy boy! :)”
“Thank you, Hannah for being so sweet and caring to my baby Milo. I can tell he is so very happy whenever you are here and you do a wonderful job with all of his medications. We are so grateful to have you!”
About: I currently have a cat and have had 4 separate clients outside of rover that I still miss and love! I love animals and will treat yours as if they’re my own (: my cat has special needs so if yours does as well, I completely understand (: I am currently full-time, so depending on when you need me I will work my work schedule around yours! If you need me specific days, I will request them off, it just works better if I can get 2-3 weeks in advance for better planning (: My cat has special needs and is strictly indoors, however he still has many toys and towers to keep him busy when I am not home! When I had my dog (currently living with my sister) I took him on as many walks as he needed and played w him often since he was insanely energetic! I always make sure the babies are fed and have water and comfortable especially since they’ll be missing they’re parents ):
“Liz did a wonderful job watching my 10 month old puppy Bailey who struggled to remember his good manners while I was gone. She was kind, patient and took wonderful care of him, especially when he had an upset stomach. She stayed on top of watching him, adjusting his meals and making sure he didn’t drink too quickly while his stomach settled. She’s very knowledgeable, responsive and a wonderful pet and house sitter. I would highly recommended Liz to watch your pup if you are gone for an extended stay.”
“Travis took really great care with our two big dogs while house sitting with them at our home. He sent us photos every day and we came home to two very happy dogs. Thanks so much Travis!”
About: I have a 6 year old pup myself named maverick who is my best friend and have also had experience raising puppies. I’ve worked with animals over 6+ years as my first job as a teenager was working at a holistic pet shop where we specialized in dog nutrition and health and training. I have also volunteered at a German Shepard rescue where I would take dogs ranging from all ages on walks until they found their forever home. Furry friends of all ages, sizes and breeds welcome! I currently am unemployed so I have all the time to be attentive and take care of any pup! I do morning walks and potty breaks along with another walk later in the day either around the parks or beaches or taking the dogs to the dog park and they will get frequent potty breaks as needed. I currently have a 6 year old extremely friendly dog in the home along with dog beds and a crate if needed. I would treat another persons pet how I would treat mine and he is a very happy, well trained and spoiled boy!
“Emily was a wonderful choice to house/dog sit for our long weekend. She was communicative, sent updates, and very easy going. Thank you for taking care of my senior pup who can be a little odd sometimes.”
“Jasmine is the best dog sitter. This is my second over night booking with her for my 2 dogs. She loves them like her own! I don't have to worry about them at all I know they're in great hands! I can't recommend her enough!!! My dogs LOVE her and are sad when the stay is over.”
“Absolutely the best service. She checked on my dogs after a questionable sitter situation and made sure they were safe and comfortable. She was patient, kind, and truly went above and beyond — leaving treats and even tidying up my living room. Highly recommend!”
About: Ive been raised around animals all my life including horses & reptiles. Great & very patient with both young & old pets!! Training, walking, feeding, grooming, all around care & flexible with any requests!! Open availability to help meet whatever needs your fur babies & you might have!! I am a florist so the season will start to pick up in spring. I will happily come to your home if that is what you'd like & the best environment for your pet.

“YaYun pet sat/house my very shy kitty, Bea. Amazingly Bea warmed up to her right away. YaYun was professional and very respectful of my apartment and was so good with my fur baby. I have a really hard time leaving my cat behind and YaYun made me comfortable knowing she was in good hands. She followed the instructions perfectly and was very attentive to keeping Bea happy and content. I recommend her highly.”
About: Attentive, reliable care tailored to your pet’s unique personality: experienced with daily medications, safe walking routines, and giving extra devoted attention to keep tails happily wagging. Midday care is built right into my daily schedule. I offer dependable lunchtime drop-ins, exercise walks, and bathroom breaks to keep your pet happy and stimulated while you are at work. Safety, routine, and clear communication are the foundation of my care. Whether in my home or yours, I ensure all environments are secure, hazard-free, and clean. I strictly honor your pet's feeding, medication, and exercise guidelines, keeping their days structured and low-stress. On walks, I practice cautious, leashed safety and attentive monitoring. Most importantly, I keep you connected with frequent photos and updates every step of the way.
About: I've cared for dogs, cats, snakes, turtles, fish, and other animals. I also assisted my dogs through three litters, helping care for both the mother and her puppies. I'm comfortable following care routines, administering lots of love and attention, and making sure pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. Since I'm currently available full-time, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and I make it a priority to follow each pet's routine, whether that means feeding, walks, playtime, enrichment, or simply providing companionship and comfort. I care for every pet as if they were my own by following their usual routine and your instructions closely. I make sure they're fed on time, have fresh water, get plenty of attention, exercise, and play, and feel safe and comfortable while you're away. I also keep your home clean by tidying up after pets, monitoring their well-being, and keeping you updated with photos and messages for peace of mind.
About: I’ve grown up with and been around dogs my whole life, all the way back to age 10, when my family adopted our first dog, a shepherd-labrador mix named Mobi. Since then, I’ve been recruited by friends and family over the years to dogsit their beloved furry family members while they are out of town, etc. I have experience with many breeds of dogs, ranging in size, age, and temperament. I currently live in Culver City with my wife, baby daughter, and 6 year old heeler/shepherd mix, Nino. I know how daunting it can be to put your trust in a stranger’s hands to take care of your dog, and I don’t take that lightly. My goal is to make you feel as worry-free as possible with consistent communication and assurance throughout their duration of care. I am happy to accommodate to your pet’s individual needs as well, including: medication administration, feeding schedule, walking schedule, etc. That’s just a bit about me - if you have any other questions, don’t hesitate to ask! I’d be honored to care for your 4 legged family member. I work a full time 9-5 (hybrid), and am typically back home in Culver City no later than 6. I’m then free, pretty much for the rest of the evening to accept care requests. But my schedule is also flexible enough to where I can often accommodate requests at different times, or do overnight stays. If you’re wondering about my availability, just ask! I’ll always try to work around your schedule. I’m mindful and respectful of my dog clients’ owners’ homes, and care for them like it’s my own. I always strive to be on time and communicate clearly as well.
About: I've always had a love for animals, and I enjoy playing with them and capturing fun moments in photos. I moved to Los Angeles in 2022 and have loved every minute of it. While I don’t have a pet of my own right now, I take every opportunity to care for and play with other people’s pets. Taking cute photos and videos of them is one of my favorite things to do—I love to show you how much fun your pet is having while you're away. Ready to meet your furry friends! During the day, I work from my laptop, but I always have time in the mornings and evenings for play, walks, and caring for your pet. I can come in to walk, play, feed, clean up after, and groom your furry friends. Rest assured, your pet will be in a safe and loving environment.
“Sarah and Karl were amazing with our 8 month old puppy for the week while we were gone. They checked in frequently, sent pictures, and updated me on anything new. They were also quick to respond to my messages. Highly recommend!!”
“Katharine is so loving with my little one! She sends me photo updates and is an excellent communicator. I enjoy having her stay in my home and I always know she’s going to treat it like her own.”
“Nick was great with our dog! We were nervous about leaving him, he is a recent rescue, but he really took a liking to Nick. Would absolutely book Nick again.”
About: Hi! My name is Kellin, and I’m a loving and experienced dog walker and sitter based in Culver City, CA. I’ve been caring for pets professionally since 2018, and I’m also a certified Pet First Aid provider, so your furry friend is always in safe hands. I work from home as a Pet Portrait Artist (my Etsy shop is DigitalArtbyKell), which means I have a flexible schedule and can dedicate focused, quality time to your dog. 💛 I’m a true animal lover who believes all dogs should be loved, safe, and spoiled! With me, your dog will get personalized care: I never walk dogs in groups, so your pet gets my full attention. I always check for fresh water, give treats (with your permission), and pay close attention to their needs and energy. I avoid unknown dogs during walks to keep your pup safe and stress-free. I love building trust through consistency, calm energy, and lots of affection. Whether it’s a walk, a drop-in visit, or overnight care — your dog will be treated like one of my own. Let’s connect! I’d love to meet you and your four-legged friend 🐶✨ I’m a full-time dog walker and sitter, which means your dog will receive my full attention and care — never rushed, never overlooked. I focus on quality over quantity, offering personalized walks and visits based on your dog’s specific needs, energy level, and personality. ✨ I truly believe every dog deserves to feel safe, loved, and seen. Please message me before booking, as I’d love to meet you and your dog first to make sure we’re a great match. I value connection and trust — both with you and your pup! 🦴 Bonus: I provide daily updates with photos and notes about your dog’s walks, behavior, potty breaks, and anything I notice — so you feel connected even when you’re away. 🌎 I’m also bilingual — hablo español, so feel free to reach out in the language you feel most comfortable with. Let’s create a schedule that works best for you and your furry friend. I can't wait to meet you both! 🐾 At this time, I only offer in-home care at my client’s residence. When caring for your dog in their own environment, I make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved — just like if you were home. I follow your instructions closely, keep their routine consistent, and pay attention to every detail: from fresh water and feeding schedules to playtime, cuddles, and daily walks. I respect your space, keep things clean, and always leave your home just as I found it — or even better! If your dog has special needs, medications, or preferences, I’m happy to accommodate them with love and care. I’m also certified in Pet First Aid, so your pup is in safe hands. Let me know what your dog loves — I’ll make sure they get lots of it! 🐾💛

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Ladera Heights
This was our third time having Jessica come housesit, and it was another wonderful experience! She provided frequent updates with great pictures so we knew our dog was getting great care and following his usual routines. Her communication leading up to and during the booking was excellent. When we got home, our dog was happy and healthy, and our house was clean and tidy. We would absolutely book with Jessica again and are happy to give her the highest recommendation for anyone considering booking Jessica for their pets!
Marie took great care of our Great Dane and Maine Coon and our home while we traveled for work. Both of our furry kids quickly took to her and we could tell based on pics, were happy and at ease with her. She communicated well, was tidy and clean, and gave our pets lots of pets and cuddles. We could tell she was very experienced with pets and does this out of love for animals. Would 10/10 book again.
Kirsten was wonderful! She was super communicative, tidy and most importantly my cats were instantly drawn to her and comfortable around her, including my nervous cat Oliver. Both cats were relaxed and happy when I returned. Extra bonus that she has an amazing daughter that's great with animals too! Thank you so much Kirsten.
Everything went smoothly and they provide wonderful care for our dogs and home. Having Andi and Adam for over a week provided peace of mind and they are super at communication. Pictures of the pups everyday helped us with our dog withdrawals while we were abroad. We were able to do a quick meet and greet before booking and they managed to keep dogs from getting into any bad habits. They were great with two extra large Pyrenees which not all dog sitters want or can handle. The house looked like we hadn’t had guests. Def recommend and will consider having again.
Samantha is wonderful, entrusting her with your pet is a no brainer! She’s communicative, easy to coordinate with, and most importantly has such an acute awareness of dog behavior. My dog is incredibly shy and standoffish to strangers, but got quickly more comfortable with Samantha than most strangers—a testament to her ability and experience with dogs as a sitter and trainer. Highly rec!
Allena was so so great with my dog and cat. She made sure to play with my cat and take my dog on long walks. She sent plenty of pictures and it was clear she loves animals. So thankful for her - I get anxious when I’m away from my fur babies, and her updates definitely helped me enjoy my vacation more.

FAQs for House Sitting - Ladera Heights
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Ladera Heights is $62 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $29 and $118 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 Ladera Heights 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 Ladera Heights 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 Ladera Heights 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 Ladera Heights. 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.
