About: With over a decade of experience caring for both small and large dogs, we’re excited to welcome your furry friend into our home! Jess began her journey in pet sitting right in her neighborhood, and both of us have grown up with dogs, making us exceptionally comfortable catering to each pup’s unique needs. In the past four years, we’ve had the pleasure of fostering three wonderful dogs through various rescues: a Cane Corso, a Golden Retriever puppy, and a Chihuahua mix. We have hands-on experience with puppies and dogs requiring medication multiple times a day—Max even cared for a seriously ill puppy needing round-the-clock care and eight doses of medicine daily. Our dog-sitting experience extends to friends, family, and word-of-mouth referrals, giving us a well-rounded background in providing attentive care. Think of us as the “cool aunt and uncle” your dog will adore! Whether your pup is laid-back or full of energy, we’ll match their vibe and provide personalized attention. We take pride in offering one-on-one care, ensuring that your dog receives our undivided attention and feels at ease without the distraction of other pets. We’re also experienced in handling dogs with behavioral issues with other animals. Jess’s passion for photography means you’ll receive plenty of adorable photos of your pup while you’re away! Our rates reflect our extensive experience and the high-quality, individualized care we provide. We’re excited to offer bathing services for an additional fee. If you’re interested in this service or have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us. We’re here to help. We look forward to making your dog’s stay enjoyable and memorable! Max works from home full-time, so your furry friend will have someone with them around the clock! Jess works until 4 PM Monday through Friday and her office is just 10 minutes away, ensuring she can easily check in on your pup during the day. We’re happy to accommodate both short-term and long-term stays, providing flexibility to meet your needs. We're always delighted to arrange a "Meet & Greet" before your stay! Just a quick note: we can only schedule these if you have a booking request with us. Looking forward to meeting you! Our apartment is spacious, clean, and comfortable in a secure 24-unit gated complex. Access is by key, ensuring safety and privacy. Our apartment offers plenty of room for your pup, including space for crate-training if needed. We have water and food bowls available for use—just let us know ahead of time. Our safe, residential neighborhood features large sidewalks, and directly across the street is Fox Hills Park, perfect for additional walks and playtime. We promise to care for your dog with the same love and attention as if they were our own. To ensure each pet receives the highest level of care, we currently accept only one pet at a time.

About: I’ve owned a variety of pets all throughout my life and have loved every single one. I’ve taken care of all my pets since they were young up until their senior years and made sure they were all taken care of! I’m currently a college student so weekends work perfectly.

I have a fenced backyard with a good sized grass area for any pets needing to go outside and play. The inside is also available for any pets just looking to relax and just be chill.

About: I love animals! Growing up, we always had a dog and other pets — they’ve been an extension of our family, and our lives have been richer because of them. Our first family dog was a cocker spaniel, then we had a bulldog, a German Shepherd, and now we have a Chihuahua, so I’ve gotten to know a wide range of breeds and personalities up close. I have plenty of experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and I tailor my approach to each dog’s individual needs. In addition to our own pets and helping friends and family with their dogs - from small breeds to large - I’ve been sitting professionally for about five years. I’m comfortable administering medication when needed, and I genuinely enjoy giving dogs the affection, attention, and companionship they thrive on. I work full-time but remotely, which gives me a lot of flexibility during the week. For new clients, I ask for at least 24–48 hours’ notice before booking so we can schedule a meet & greet first. All dogs must be potty trained. For house-sitting: if you book, say, 3 nights but need walks across 4 days, please add the extra walks on top of the overnight stays. I’d love to help take care of your extended family members! I currently work remotely so I will be able to spend plenty of quality time with your pup, with enough time to enjoy walks, playtime, and belly scratches. I live in an apartment in a great neighborhood with plenty of opportunities for long walks if needed and nearby dog parks and lovely parks. I keep my apartment clean and always dog proof before any pets stay with me.

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!

About: I've have been around dogs nearly my whole life and love each and everyone that I have crossed paths with. Growing up we always had 2 dogs in the house, my dad taught me how to handle and train dogs as well. I have been walking and sitting dogs for about 4 years on the side. You can trust that your pup will be in good hands. I WFH 4 days out of the week and have a flexible work schedule so someone would always be home to give the pups attention. In the instant I would have to go into the office it wouldn’t be for more than a few hours. I never leave the dogs alone for longer than 4hrs at a time. I live in an apartment with a patio. Within the complex we have a dog park area and there are plenty of parks near by. I typically will take whomever I am watching on a hike on the playa vista trail located near LMU or Kenneth Hahn Park.

About: I’ve cared for dogs at every stage of life, from puppies to seniors. I recently said goodbye to my 15-year-old pup, so I have plenty of experience with the extra patience, attention, and care older dogs can need. I currently have an energetic 8-month-old puppy, so I’m also very familiar with puppy training, daily walks, playtime, and keeping up with all that puppy energy! I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities and always try to meet them where they’re at. I work from home part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility throughout the week for dog walks, playtime, and check-ins. I’m able to work pet care into my daily routine and can be flexible with scheduling depending on your dog’s needs. I’m always respectful of people’s homes and spaces and will follow any instructions you provide for your pet. I currently have an 8-month-old dog of my own and regularly help walk and care for friends’ dogs, ranging from small and elderly dogs to larger, more energetic pups. I’m comfortable adjusting walks and playtime based on each dog’s age, energy level, and needs. I also have a secure, gated backyard available for supervised playtime if needed.

“Mina was absolutely wonderful, and we couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter for Luca. She was incredibly respectful of our home, always punctual, and kept us updated with plenty of photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Luca warmed up to her almost immediately, and it was obvious he felt comfortable and well cared for. We also have quite a few security measures for getting in and out of our house, and Mina was always thoughtful about letting us know everything was locked up and secure before she left. That attention to detail really meant a lot to us. We would happily book Mina again in a heartbeat if she’s available. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter!”

About: I have taken care of dogs since I got my first dog when I was 9 years old. In college, I was responsible for taking care of my roommates dog, which included daily walks, feeding, and baths. After graduating, I volunteered at my local animal shelter as a dog walker and would occasionally foster a dog as well. I have my own little pup, Roo, who is a 1 year old Aussiedoodle who has my heart. Animals bring so much joy and love into our lives and deserve to be looked after with love and care. I am currently working full time in a remote position. My work schedule is very flexible, so I can give your pet the attention they need. My apartment has a small yard that we use to let our dog lounge when we are relaxing at home. We are in a great area, and frequently walk our dog along the bike path. As for taking care of your pet in your own home, I am big on respecting other peoples’ space and am a very clean and organized person.

I had a lot of peace of mind leaving my two cats under Mutsumi’s care. She had quick responses and was very thorough in updating with pictures for all the pet tasks (took pictures of clean kitty litter, filled water bowls, etc). My more social cat got good play time and she always checked up on the shy/hiding cat each visit while giving the shy one space. We had an unexpected heat wave while I was away, and she was also kind enough to turn on the AC for my cats exactly as requested.

10/10 recommend Courtney! She was absolutely wonderful with both of our cats! She came over for a meet and greet beforehand and was incredibly attentive throughout the weekend. One of our cats needed medication twice a day, and Courtney was always prompt, took extra time to write down instructions, and sent us updates after every visit. Our older cat, Bella, is naturally very shy and can get easily spooked. She unexpectedly swatted at Courtney (despite her being very friendly during the meet & greet), but Courtney handled the situation wonderfully! She was incredibly understanding and patient, giving Bella plenty of space and letting her warm up at her own pace throughout the weekend. We felt so comfortable knowing our girls were in such great hands. Will absolutely book Courtney again!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Ladera Heights

Frequently asked questions about Rover

Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

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 .

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

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.
