“Lucky had a wonderful time with Lizett! Lucky is still adjusting to his life after being rescued off the streets, but he connected with Lizett instantly. She took him on many walks, which is he loves! She sent me pictures while I was away, so I was extra peaceful knowing Lucky is in good hands. She fed him and made sure to give him lots of cuddles. I am definitely going to get her to watch Lucky again.”
“First time with Stephanie house-sitting for my 15yo beagle and it was a huge success! Great communication, easy and flexible. Stephanie followed all instructions to a tee and I came home to a happy pup and a pristine home, will definitely book again!”
“Hannah is so thorough and caring with my senior dog. She is one of few people that he trusts to be close to him, she gives great and consistent updates and is very communicative about any updates in his care.”
About: I'm incredibly responsible and have a deep, lifelong love for animals. I cared for my dog for 16 years and my cat for 18, both well into their senior years. My dog recently passed, and I miss him every day. Joining Rover felt like a natural next step, as I'm not quite ready to get another dog of my own. I have hands-on experience with senior pet care, kidney disease management, and the administration of subcutaneous fluids. I also volunteer at a farm sanctuary. My office is in the Arts District, so I can walk dogs in the neighborhood before/after work and on my lunch break. For pet sitting I can work remotely from your home, or bring your dog to work with me if they prefer a change of scenery. I'm extremely responsible and will make sure your instructions are followed. I've spent over 10 years caring for animals, including 16 years with my own dog and 18 years with my cat, both of whom have since passed. Through caring for my dog, I gained hands-on experience with senior pet care, kidney disease management, and administering subcutaneous fluids. I've used Rover myself when traveling, so I know firsthand how hard it is to find the right sitter and how much trust you're placing in someone. I take that seriously. Whether I'm walking your dog, sitting in your home, or bringing them to my office, your pet's safety and comfort will be my top priority. I'm new to Rover, but happy to supply personal and professional references.
About: Dogs have been my heart since I was 10 years old — and that love has only grown deeper with every cuddle. I am not just a dog lover; I am the kind of person who named their production company after their dog. That is how serious this is. I share my home with two rescue pups — a sweet deer chihuahua and a gentle little terrier mix — both 8.5 lbs of pure calm energy. They set the tone in our space: relaxed, loved, and completely at ease. Any dog who visits steps into that same warmth. Our apartment is 1,300 square feet with a private side yard, so there is always room to stretch out, sniff around, or simply soak up some fresh air together. I work from home full-time, which means your dog is never left waiting — I am here, present, and happy to take them out for walks throughout the day as often as they like. I treat every dog I care for the way I treat my own: with patience, attention, and a whole lot of love. Your pup will be in good hands — and honestly, probably a little spoiled. As a work-from-home writer, dogs are woven into every part of my day — and honestly, they make it better. My own two rescues get three walks daily plus two additional pee breaks, and any dog in my care gets the same rhythm. Stepping away from the screen for a walk isn't a disruption — it's the best part of my routine. I'm always home, always available, and never watching the clock. Your dog will be comfortable, safe, and genuinely loved here. Our home gets beautiful natural light, and our tree-lined neighborhood is calm and walkable — perfect for a curious nose. Sleepovers are absolutely welcome; this is a real home, not a facility. We have a small balcony and side yard if they love to sun! I'm also experienced with medication administration — my own dog Charley is 16 and keeps me well-practiced — so if your pup has a health routine, it's in good hands. We're also pee-pad friendly for senior dogs or those who need that option. What I can promise: your dog won't spend the day in a crate waiting for attention. They'll spend it with me.
“Julia is very responsible and did a great job caring for Clancy. She was very attentive to his needs and wanting to understand and follow his schedule. She was very communicative and shared pictures a couple of times throughout the day. I’d gladly leave Clancy in her care again.”
“Ashton did a great job taking care of our critters!!! She stayed with them over a long weekend and the house was spotless and all the animals happy as could be when we got home. Thanks Ashton!!!”
“Jeff is an excellent pet sitter. They took lots of care and made sure the dogs and cat were well looked after. They left our house very tidy and clean. Will definitely be booking with them 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.”
“Raymond was amazing. He sent us lots of pictures and kept us informed all week. He was a perfect house guest and we couldn't be happier with the level of love and care he provided for out fur babies. We will look to book him again in the future.”
“I had a last minute family emergency and needed a sitter within 24 hours, Emily had watched my dog Buddy before and was so kind to watch her without much of a notice! Emily will make sure your pets are in good hands, will definitely be reaching out again for my next trip. Highly recommend!!!”
“Jennifer is great! Followed instructions and provided consistent updates. Super patient and attentive to my dog’s needs. I’m really excited to have found another reliable sitter.”
“Monica is an absolute gem! I haven't left my dogs with a non-family member since before Covid, and I was so nervous to go out of town and leave them with a "stranger." You can absolutely trust Monica with the care of your pets. She provided daily updates and pictures and communication was great. My dogs typically don't have much of an appetite when I'm out of town, so seeing pictures of them eating and coming home to empty bowls shows me how comfortable they were with Monica. She even tidied up the house before leaving. I highly recommend!”
“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!”
“Nikki is amazing! Professional, experienced, kind, communicative, and most importantly, excellent with our dog. She watched our dog in our home and made sure he was well taken care of while we were away. I'd highly recommend her services!”
“Brie took such good care of our Maxine. She came over for a meet & greet a few weeks beforehand, and had great communication throughout our booking. Lots of photos from playing and walks! Our home + pup were in great hands with Brie- she has a calm presence and handled everything professionally. Will definitely book again! ♥️🐶”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Ladera Heights
Monica was an absolute gem of a dog sitter! She was incredibly kind, respectful, and responsive throughout the entire stay. She truly went above and beyond, and my pup absolutely loved her! I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such great hands. She was also a wonderful guest in my home and left my place incredibly clean and well cared for, which I really appreciated. I can’t recommend Monica enough and will absolutely be booking with her again in the future!
Tracy was so great with Bentley! I always get a little nervous leaving him when I’m away, but I felt completely at ease knowing she was taking care of him. She was so sweet and attentive with him, and I loved getting updates while I was gone. Bentley seemed so happy and comfortable when I got home, which says a lot! I’m so grateful to have someone I trust to look after him and would definitely have Tracy watch him again.
Piper was wonderful! She was very friendly and Ozzy took to her quickly. I loved that she sent us lots of updates about how Ozzy was doing and also let me know her schedule for the day if she had to leave for a bit. We came back to our place very tidy, and she followed all of our instructions perfectly. Thank you so much!!
Kimberly was an exceptional furbaby sitter while we were out of the country! She was incredibly attentive, loving, and caring with our babies, and she sent us pictures and updates every day, which gave us such peace of mind. We were able to truly relax and enjoy our vacation knowing they were happy, comfortable, and so well cared for. Our babies absolutely adored her! They even slept in the bed with her, which brought them so much warmth, comfort, and joy. They became so attached that they followed her around the house like the paparazzi! 😂🐾 Kimberly was also incredibly clean and respectful of our home. 🏠 We returned to everything beautifully cared for and just as we had left it. Having someone you can trust not only with your precious fur babies, but also with your home, is priceless 😍🥰! Thank you, Kimberly 💕😊 We truly couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for our babies. Kimberly treated them like they were her own, and we are so grateful for all the love, attention, and care she gave them. We would absolutely trust her with our babies and our home again without hesitation. We highly recommend Kimberly to anyone looking for a loving, dependable, trustworthy, and respectful pet sitter! ❤️🐾
Sarah is absolutely amazing with my dog, Ziggy! I left for a quick cruise, and knowing he was in her care gave me so much peace of mind. She was incredibly communicative, sent thoughtful updates throughout my trip, and captured the sweetest photos of Ziggy that made me smile every day. It was clear he was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I’m so grateful to have found Sarah and will absolutely book with her again. It’s such a relief knowing my pup is in the most caring and capable hands whenever I’m away. Highly recommend!
Lauren and Journey went above and beyond for our pup Dorothy. From the moment we left, we felt completely at ease because of the incredible communication and updates. We received so many adorable pictures and videos throughout the stay, and it was obvious our girl was having the best time! We would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, kind, and attentive to care for their pet. Thank you so much!
Mahita watched our 3 dachshunds for a total of 10 nights, including our 18 yr old who needs medication 3 times a day. She did an amazing job caring for our pups and home while away. She shared photo updates and even performed a couple small tasks around the home. We 100% will be booking with Mahita again.
Emily crushed it! She was super throughout the entire process. Will definitely use again. She was very proactive from the first message - setting up a meet and greet. She was great with Rory during the meeting. For the stay, she was also great! Updates came in frequently, she asked questions, etc. Zero concerns or questions with how our pet was doing. At the end of the stay, she provided an overall summary and some thoughts on Rory which were super helpful. Our house was kept as if no one had stayed here - in a good way! Clean and tidy. Thanks again Emily!!!

FAQs for House Sitting - Ladera Heights
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Ladera Heights on Rover is $62.16 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 13,942 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.
