About: I have more 10+ years walking and babysitting young and senior dogs (5 years on Rover). Since I was 7, I cared for dogs, cats, turtles, goldfish, parakeets, chickens, rabbits, and mice. My mom refused to let me have a snake but that definitely would’ve been on my list. I work full time Mondays to Thursdays, but I always make it important to exercise after work. On weekends I am available for walks and drop-ins. I’d be happy to love and care for your dog, and send you pictures of appreciating your dog throughout the day. If you have to leave for a weekend for a holiday or extended vacation, I have experience staying overnight in a client’s home. For drop-in visits I can feed and play with your pet. I can also water your plants or double-check if your AC is off and appliances are unplugged.
“Very sweet lady! Did a great job watching the house and our pets! Kept in touch with us while we were out of the state. Sent cute pictures of the dogs and cats! I would ask her to housesit/ pet sit again!”


About: That distinguishes me is a blend of specific talents, such as constructive reinforcement puppy training and caring geriatric pet care, as well as a solid basis that includes dependability, understanding, and respect. I provide clear communication, a cautious approach to families and pets, and a true love of animals that motivates me to go beyond what is necessary to guarantee their comfort and pleasure. I understand that you're trusting me with your beloved pets and home, which is why I prioritize showing up on time, following instructions, and maintaining clear communication every time. I have a solid understanding of common animal behaviors, allowing me to recognize and adapt to individual pet personalities and quirks for a stress-free experience. I’m currently looking for anything part time to make extra income and trying to be happy in what i would want to try and do, so i’ll do the best I can to make time for everything. I have a fenced yard, friendly animals, and if needed I’m able to separate from eachother. I will do anything to make any pet feel comfortable and safe. My pet care services provide for a pet's essential needs like food, water, shelter, exercise, and health, while also offering companionship.
“Elton had a fantastic time! 🖤 She kept me updated throughout the entire booking and sent pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear Elton was well cared for, comfortable, and getting lots of attention. I really appreciated her communication, kindness, and how attentive she was to his needs. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!”

“Sara was fantastic at taking care of our dogs! She is an incredibly kind person and did phenomenal with random quirks our dogs have with strangers. She sent tons of updates and pictures and in every one our dogs looked relaxed and happy. Will definitely hire her again!”

About: I've had dogs since I was 10 years old. I dog sit for my coworkers and family members. I have a certificate in veterinary assisting and I interned at a veterinary clinic for 2 months where I gained valuable experience with dogs and cats of all ages, I am cpr certified, I can give oral medication and injectable medications like insulin. I currently work at a middle school so I am unavailable Monday-Friday 730am-3pm however after June 4th I am available full time. Right now I can do drop in visits after 3pm on week days and any time on the weekends I rent a room in my friends house but I have a door to the backyard in my room so I have quick access to the yard for playtime or potty breaks. I have one senior dog who does not like to play with other dogs but will be respectful otherwise.
About: Being a pet owner my whole life has allowed me to understand dogs very well! I’ve dealt with bigger breeds like German Shepards and Pitt bulls, smaller breeds have always gotten along well with my demeanor. I have majority of the day to walk or take dogs to a park or allow them to explore the deserts. Let me know your dogs preference of activity. I stick to the rules, let me know what your dogs need or if they have anything that is specific for them that needs to get done!
About: I have taken care of animals for as long as I can remember. I have experience (professional and personal) with dogs as a veterinary assistant. I am currently working full time with availability on weekends. I’m looking to expand my education in various fields & wish to pay for it myself. I live in an apartment and can easily crate pets 20 pounds and under. I’m comfortable with lots of belly rubs and walking around neighborhoods.
“Alysabeth is considered family! She is an amazing person and Cooper and Bear loved their time with her. We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing that our dogs and house were under the BEST care. So grateful to have Alysabeth in our lives.”

“Tynesh is an exceptional pet and house sitter and an awesome person. We have boxers and she handled them like the pro she is. She kept us posted and sent photos and videos while we were gone. She also asked questions and had excellent communication skills. We will use Tynesh as often as she is available as she's the absolute best!”

About: I’ve lived with several types of dogs for all my whole life. Multiply at the same time from family members to mine and I have learned how different breeds have different personalities and how even when they’re different they all just need patience and love and space to grow. making sure that they are paid correctly fed correctly to healthy owner wants it to be. I’ve pet it for many of my family members and have always taken care of my dogs so I know with puppies sometimes you have to help potty train and teach trick tricks as well as as for senior animals or dogs you need to be very specific where they sleep how they’re bathe how they are overall taking care of as well if they need any pills to be incorporated with their food. As well as their meals need to be made special that can be arranged. Like many college students most of my time is usually at home studying or the library so my schedule is very flexible, whether you need me to go to you’re home at at any time with enough time in advance. I have a fenced house so the animal can’t get out and then a small wooden fence that is if the dog wants to be separated from my other dogs but I’m much more comfortable making sure the pet is in their own home due to my dogs because they aren’t friendly with others pets
About: I’ve worked with pets of all kinds for more than 20 years. I’ve worked with cats, dogs, birds, fish, lizards, snakes, gerbils, hamsters, rabbits, toads, hermit crabs, and snails. I do charge slightly more for snails because while slow, they are slippery little suckers. I am very organized. I focus on having a routine for the animals because they need it and appreciate it. I know most animals appreciate predictability and attention. I only go to a client’s home. I would rather see the pet on their turf and follow their rules as opposed to taking them out of their safety zone.
About: I’ve never taken care of a dog, just cats. But I’ve always wanted one so badly since I have consciousness. My parents bought me a self guided book on taking care of dogs (when I didnt even have one because I was obsessed). I’m still actively learning about dog behaviors, etc since I can’t not wait to adopt a dog when I have my own place. I’ve volunteered at a pet shelter to do weekly cleaning of their living spaces. I cleaned litter box, and played with the kittens while providing potential adoptee information about the cats available. I will be very cautious about every opening/exit they can run away from, as well as meeting their needs while providing amble and productivity play.
About: I have 3 dogs, the oldest is 16, 7, 3 years old. They are furry family members that we love dearly!!! I can pet sit any age and love to cuddle and also taking them for walks. I have no problem picking up after them. I’m a Trusted Pet Sitter Who Treats Your Dog Like My Own! ❤️ I currently work from home so I can work from anywhere to keep your pups company while you work. Weekends and nights can be discussed. I can pet sit from your home to not make big changes to your best friend that way they can stay in their own environment, caring for them following your specific instructions.
About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of pets since I was 15! I’ve watched guineas, chinchillas, dogs, cats - I’d love to meet yours! :) I’m available to watch pets at all hours of the day - I live on a wide property with lots of room for running! :) With any pet I make sure they get lots of attention, patience and outside time. Unless requested otherwise, I feed twice a day kibble&wetfood :)
About: While I may not have extensive professional pet-sitting experience, I have been around dogs my entire life and have cared for breeds of all sizes, from small companions to large dogs. I also have experience working in pet stores, where I learned about animal behavior, health, and proper care. Animals have always held a special place in my heart, and I genuinely enjoy building trusting bonds with them. I am patient, attentive, playful, and committed to making sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. Whether it’s going for walks, playtime, or simply providing companionship, I will give your pet the attention and affection they deserve. I understand that your pet is a cherished member of your family, and I will care for them as if they were my own. Thank you for taking the time to view my profile. I would love the opportunity to earn your trust and become your dog’s sitter or walker! Pet care is a regular part of my daily routine. Having been around dogs my entire life, I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, grooming, and making sure pets get the attention and exercise they need. I enjoy spending time with animals and understand the importance of consistency, patience, and routine in keeping them happy and healthy. Throughout the week, I make time for outdoor activities and exercise, so incorporating dog walks and pet care fits naturally into my schedule. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual needs and enjoy providing companionship, enrichment, and a safe, caring environment while their owners are away. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I do my best to keep them on their normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure. I follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, walks, medications (if needed), playtime, and any special care requirements. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and bathroom breaks throughout the day. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and needs, so I take the time to get to know them and build trust. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free experience while their owners are away, giving them peace of mind that their pet is being well cared for.
“Mariah was absolutely amazing with our dog, Kona! Kona can be a hyper handful and Mariah was able to handler her perfectly. She was respectful of our home and we didn’t have to worry about anything. We will definitely be booking again!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Lake Los Angeles
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of June 2026, there are 605 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Lake Los Angeles. 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 Lake Los Angeles 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 Lake Los Angeles 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 Lake Los Angeles 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.
