“Lizette was fantastic. We were staying in Marina Del Rey for the weekend. She came to the hotel to watch over our two small dogs while we went to a concert. She was commutative and punctual and most of all very affectionate towards our little ones. Highly recommended.”
“Hannah was wonderful staying at our house with our two small dogs! She was an amazing communicator. We got so many pictures and videos which always makes us feel better. She also left the house even better than she found it. Our dogs loved her and therefore we do too!!”
“JULIA IS AMAZING!! A true animal whisperer! 🐾 Our Boston Terrier puppy instantly fell in love with her, as did we. Julia is immediately responsive, attentive to all details, and so lovely. Don’t think twice! She took great care of our furchild and we will definitely book her again! 🙂”
“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.”
“Riley is a warm and caring pet sitter! I knew my chihuahua was in good hands at the first meeting, and Riley's confidence and capability in handling my puppy was greatly reassuring. From the pictures, videos and updates it was clear my dog had a great time and felt very comfortable with Riley! So happy to have found her before my trip!”
“Nicholle did a six-night stay with our pups and the pups were so happy the entire time! She sent tons of photos every day which kept us super assured that everything was going well, and she had no issues following our (detailed 😅) pet care instructions. We hadn’t even gotten home yet by the time I already reached out and asked about her availability for another trip this summer, that’s how happy we were!”
“Wonderful house sitter. Very communicative and attentive to our senior cat who needs extra TLC. Would recommend to anyone looking for a kind and dependable person. 10/10 ⭐️”
“Stephanie watched our cat Leo for a weekend and our experience with her was everything you could hope for! She offered to come by to do a meet and greet and tour our home, which was very kind and helpful to the experience. She followed all of our care instructions and kept our home very tidy. Stephanie is overall very conscientious, professional and communicative!! would absolutely book with her again!”
“My dog seemed happy and healthy when we returned after 2.5 weeks. House was clean and tidy too. Michael seems nice and responsible, and is accommodating. I'd definitely recommend him.”
About: Big animal lover with a lifetime of experience! Growing up with dogs, cats, and birds, I played an active role in their care. I've gained experience in pet sitting for friends and family, including overnight stays. Currently, I have a medium-sized Shepherd named Daisy. I believe every pet deserves personalized care and attention. I am a freelance video editor in marketing and production with a variable schedule. When work is slow, I have plenty of free time. I would love to spend my off-days caring for your pet. I make sure pets always have fresh food and water available. I take them out for bathroom breaks every two hours or as needed, and they receive at least one walk per day for exercise. I also give plenty of attention.
“Ray was phenomenal! He took such great care of our pup, Nova, and our home while we were away! He gave us daily updates and photos, which we greatly appreciated. It helped ease any anxieties while being away from our fur baby. Nova really loved her time with Ray! Highly recommend and will use him again!”
About: Leaving your fur babies behind is never easy, but I’m here to give you total peace of mind. As a registered veterinary technician with 14 years of experience caring for animals, I’m happily stepping out of the clinic and into your home! My goal is to bring that same high level of medical expertise and attentiveness into the comfortable, stress-free environment where your pets feel safest. Whether your sweet pup or kitty needs a strict medical routine, or just an extra dose of love and belly rubs while you’re away, I promise to treat them exactly like my own. Because I work from home, I have the complete freedom and flexibility to closely adhere to your pet's individual daily routine and schedule. Whether that’s with drop-in visits, walks and exercise, or pet sitting in your home. Every pet has their own perfect pace, and I'm happy to match it. From leisurely walks along the strand/beach to high-energy games of fetch in the park or yard, or just cozying up for some serious couch-potato cuddles, your pet gets exactly the kind of day they love most. My extensive veterinary background equips me to handle pets that require specialized attention. I am highly experienced in administering oral and injectable medications. I have been fully trained in recognizing subtle animal behaviors, and tailor my care to meet their individual needs and personalities. I always respect their boundaries, move to their level of comfort, and use only positive and gentle handling so they feel safe and loved. My own experience caring for my beloved cranky 14 year old pup, who suffers from epilepsy and immune mediated illness, has taught me to be extremely observant, read body language meticulously, and proactively adapt environments to avoid negative situations. I am passionate about welcoming animals of all breeds, sizes, temperaments, and life stages—from energetic puppies and kittens to sweet seniors. I have 2 senior pups and a 26-year-old tortoise of my own! My love for animals is a huge part of who I am, even outside the clinic. While living in Southeast Asia, I spent my time volunteering with local rescue organizations, where I personally loved on and cared for over 200 dogs and puppies. From nursing injured and paralyzed pups to keeping up with daily feeding, bathing, and playtime, I was fully hands-on. Above all, your pet’s safety and happiness are at the heart of everything I do. I want you to feel like you're leaving your baby with a trusted friend. I pride myself on being reliable, attentive, and deeply compassionate, and I treat your home and pets with the utmost respect. I promise to keep you connected with plenty of sweet updates and photos along the way. I truly love going the extra mile to ensure that you can relax completely, knowing your furry family member is feeling loved, comfortable, and completely pampered. Can't wait to meet your best friend! Working from home gives me the complete flexibility to seamlessly match your pets daily routine. I am available for whatever your pet needs, from walks and feedings to drop-in’s and full pet sitting. Because my own grumpy senior pup doesn’t do well with new friends, I don’t offer care in my home. However, I’d love to keep your pets routine perfectly consistent by caring for them in their own familiar space.
“Sam stayed at my home and looked after my 9 year old golden retriever for the night. When I returned, I found my place in impeccable condition, and he had taken excellent care of my pet. Sam followed instructions diligently and proved to be a trustworthy caregiver. I will certainly continue to rely on him to take care of my home and dogs.”
“Monica was AMAZING! I moved to Los Angeles recently, and it’s always a little stressful leaving your pup with someone new. Monica was sweet, accommodating, and professional from the get-go. She suggested a meet and greet to get to know Kona and have me show her around - which I GREATLY appreciated her making the time for - and I think speaks to the quality of care and love that she offers to the pets she takes care of. She sent me regular pupdates, was VERY understanding of me needing to rush and leave things a bit less than ideal for her (EVERYTHING went wrong that morning getting ready to leave 😅), and I came home to a very happy pup. Monica even took time to tidy a bit. I have officially found my LA dog sitter!! Monica will take care of your pet like they are her own. She has a huge heart, ample experience, and I can’t recommend her enough! I feel lucky to have connected with her!”
“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.”
About: I've had dogs and cats my entire life, and began pet sitting professionally 12 years ago. I've cared for both senior dogs and puppies, plus a wide variety of breeds and sizes. I've walked dogs at a local animal shelter. I have experience in socializing, potty training, and giving amazing head scratches. I love being outside, mini adventures to a park or trail, high-energy play time, and cuddling up with a fur baby and a good book. I'm a college student, so my schedule is very flexible! I'd like to care for pets throughout the week. I love taking walks and playing outside with dogs, and I love staying in with a cat and a book just as much! Depending on your pet's needs, I can stay home with them, walk them in their familiar area, or take them on a little adventure to a dog park or a quiet trail. All activities will be discussed and approved by you first!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Ladera Heights
Vivian was amazing! She stayed in our home for nearly three weeks to care for our two cats, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She was incredibly responsive, attentive, and took excellent care of both our cats and our home, which was spotless when we returned. We can already tell our cats miss her! We highly recommend Vivian, and she is our go-to sitter whenever we need one.

Malin is truly always the best sitter. She takes amazing care of our two pets every time, looking out for them and providing us with the cutest photos ever! She also always leaves the house better than she finds it, and is super responsive. We, and our pets, love malin!
Paula did a wonderful job taking care of our dog and cat. She followed our very detailed instructions, especially for caring for our cat with health problems and who has a habit of ingesting foreign objects. She sent tons of photos and responded promptly to our messages. When we came back, the house was clean and the pets were happy. We’d definitely hire her again!
Ashton was so great with my dog and a super respectful houseguest as well. She gave updates throughout the stay with lots of great pictures and a level of detail that makes clear she pays attention to all your notes and cares deeply that your pet has a great experience. She’s very responsive and reliable; just exceptional. Lenny was happy and relaxed when I got him - 10/10 will book again 💕
Christine took the time to get to know our dogs and know us. She listened to us and followed and applied all the tricks and usual plan we had for our babies. She walked them and snuggled with them, knowing that they needed lots of loving. Christine sent several updates and pics daily which was greatly appreciated. She cared for our property and the house was in great shape when we got back. I highly recommend Christine.
Camie took great care of Bailey and the house while I was away. Communication was excellent, everything was exactly as I left it, and Bailey seemed happy, relaxed, and very well cared for when I got home. I appreciate the peace of mind knowing Bailey was in good hands. I’m pretty sure she may have preferred the extra attention and snacks from Camie over having me home. Highly recommend and would gladly book again.
This is our second time having Raymond watch Frankie, and he continues to exceed our expectations. He was fantastic about sending regular photos and updates, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear Frankie was happy, comfortable, and in great hands the entire time. Beyond being wonderful with animals, he’s an incredibly polite and respectful houseguest — he treated our home with real care. We always feel completely at ease having him here. We’ll absolutely be calling him again and would recommend him without hesitation to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive dog sitter!

FAQs for House Sitting - Ladera Heights
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Ladera Heights on Rover is $60 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 14,195 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Ladera Heights. 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 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 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 Ladera Heights. 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.
