“I had absolute peace of mind leaving Lucky with Lizett during a conference trip. As usual, she is amazing! Lucky was so happy with her, she sent regular updates and I felt all recharged and happy after the trip as everything was awesome when I came back. Highly recommend Lizett!”
“Jebraune is our go to cat sitter now. She is respectful of our home and spoils our two cats! We get timely updates and she goes above and beyond to ensure the cats are happy. She has even been helping us train our cats since one is new to the house. Thank you!!”
“Nicholle is professional, reliable, and so wonderful to our dog, Papa! He absolutely loves her and we can leave town knowing he’s in great care with her. She is our go to & knows what Papa needs at all times. Highly recommend to any pet parents that have an anxious pup!”
“Gassia was absolutely wonderful!!! She was so sweet and communicative, and sent TONS of updates and photos of our little munchkins!!! She was so patient with them as they took a couple days to warm up, but kept us in the loop and even left a couple of packs of new wet food to try since they’ve been a little picky as of late. Could not recommend her more! She was such a doll and we look forward to booking with her again soon. :)”
About: My first dog was when I was 5 yrs old and have had 6 since then. I have been a reliable source for my friends to love their dogs like my own and have dog sat, walked, and even taken them camping for a nature break. I chose River to fill the void of not being allowed dogs where I live. They are simply the best! I am currently working from home with weekends off which allows me a very flexible schedule to walk and care for your dogs when needed. I live in a dog friendly neighborhood and have a park within walking distance. Your pets safely is my main concern. I will always treat you fur baby with kindness and care.
“Joe did an amazing job sitting for our puppy, Meatball! He kept us updated with frequent pictures and videos, giving us peace of mind. He also respected our home as if it were his own. We’ll definitely be calling on him again and highly recommend his services.”
“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!”
“Marie was amazing with Gray Gray while we were away for a week. She took great care of him, played with him a lot, and kept me updated multiple times every day with messages and lots of beautiful pictures. I always knew he was safe, fed and well taken care of, which allowed me to enjoy our trip without worrying about him. She also kept the house very clean and brought in our mail while we were gone. I’m very grateful for the care and attention she gave Gray Gray and would trust her to take care of him again.”
“We have used Christine's services in the past and she has once again delivered. Highly recommend! We always come home to a happy dog and a clean home. Christine is wonderful!”
“Hannah was great! Super responsive from the get go, kept me updated throughout each day I was gone, and left my house exactly as I left it. Loved the daily photos so I could see my pup having a blast. Thanks, Hannah!”
“Samuel was fantastic! Elvis love him and they had a great time together. Samuel was very communicative, which I really appreciated. He sent pictures and checked in daily, but not too much. He was also honest about our pup’s witching hour when he turns into a monster, and said it was challenging but they managed through it. His honesty is refreshing and comforting. He left our house very clean and neat. He is a professional and that shows in every way. We will absolutely use him again!”
“Serina is amazing! She sent regular pupdates with multiple pictures throughout her stay. You could tell she gave so much love to our pup, and we are so happy to have found her! Highly recommend and will be using 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.
About: Friends have relied on me to take care of their loving pets. I volunteered at an animal shelter when I was in High school ! I’m currently trying to find a more secure job so I have availability during the week. My hours to start sitting or walking are 9am I currently own a cat. My cat has a feeding schedule that I follow and play with him when he is in the mood !
“Thien-Y was the first sitter who stayed overnight at my place. Even though I was just looking for a dog sitter for one night, Thien-Y agreed to come over and bring her dog Moxie for a quick meet and greet. Moxie is adorable and got along well with my dog so I hired her for one night. During that night, Thien-Y sent me several videos. It was obvious my dog loved having Moxie and Thien-Y there and I felt really comfortable knowing my dog is in good hands and enjoying their company. Highly recommend her services.”
“Daisy house sat and took care of our Labrador dog and two cats for several weeks. She was communicative and responsible. We got lots of photos. The animals were well taken care of. Our dog gets so excited whenever he sees Daisy. She watered plants while we were away. The house looked great when we got back, too. I would definitely hire her again.”
“I can’t recommend Gabby enough! She was incredibly communicative and sent lots of the cutest pics. My dog is working on leash reactivity and Gabby was great at working with her and continuing her daily practice on walks. My dog is obsessed with her. I’ll definitely be booking with her in the future.”
“Daylin did a wonderful job watching my dog, Leela, while I was away for 10 days. She went above and beyond, not only was she extremely communicative, sending me regular updates and adorable photos, but she also kept my apartment immaculately clean. She even gave Leela a bath, which she didn’t have to do, which was such a thoughtful touch. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Leela was in such loving and responsible hands. I’ll definitely be booking her again in the future. Thank you, Daylin, for all your hard work!”
About: I love dogs! I would want a bernedoodle because they are so cute. I always wanted a dog, but my parents never gave me one growing up. So I would always go to my friends house and play with their dog. I hang out with my brothers girlfriends dog (pug), daily. I have experience in house sitting/dog sitting for a few years. I am pretty flexible, as long as there is constant communication. I am a loving and caring person. One thing I love to do with dogs is to cuddle. I have a flexible schedule, so I’m able to take a dog for walks and play with them. I have a pug that lives with me, so I take care of him a few days during the week. Pretty lowkey. I live in an apartment so it’s pretty small to have play. I love taking my roommates pug to the dog park or to the beach and get some sunshine and play.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Ladera Heights is $63
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Ladera Heights
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!

She took great care of him, played with him a lot, and kept me updated multiple times every day with messages and lots of beautiful pictures.

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.
We highly recommend Andi and Adam! They are so friendly - and did a great job with the yard and dogs. The frequent photos were nice to get and showed happy dogs. We were gone 14 days. If we need house and dog sitters again we will look for Andi and Adam. Melissa and Steve Cook
Lulu was amazing! She watched Rory for three nights while we were away for a wedding and was so kind, communicative, and attentive the entire time. We felt completely comfortable having her stay in our home and knew Rory was in great hands. We’ll definitely be using her again! ❤️

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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
