About: I’ve always loved animals and have been around pets for basically my whole life. I had my dog for 16 years, so I’ve grown up learning how to care for a dog, keep up with their routine, give them attention, take them on walks, and make sure they feel loved and comfortable. I’ve also had three cats, so I’m comfortable with both dogs and cats and know that every pet has their own personality. I don’t have professional pet-sitting experience yet, but I’m very responsible, caring, patient, and excited to take care of other people’s pets. I’ll always follow your instructions and treat your pet like my own. I’m a full-time college student, so my schedule depends on my classes, but I have plenty of free time throughout the week. I’m hoping to use some of that time doing something I genuinely love, which is being around animals. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting depending on the day and my class schedule. I’m pretty flexible and will always be upfront about my availability. I’m also happy to work around your pet’s normal routine so they can stay comfortable. I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pet with someone, so I’ll always take their safety seriously. I’ll follow any instructions you give me about feeding, walks, medications, routines, or anything else your pet needs. I’ll make sure they’re safe during walks and visits and pay attention to how they’re acting so I can notice if something seems off. I’ll also keep you updated while you’re away and can send pictures and little updates of your pet so you know how they’re doing. I know it’s nice to be able to see your pet while you’re away. I’ll give them lots of attention, patience, and love while they’re in my care.
“Saffi immediately got along with my kitty and gave her the attention and care she needed while I was gone. She is a great communicator and I would not hesitate to book with her again.”
“So happy we found our new dog walker! 😊 Kyle has been amazing with Zoey right from the start. She looks so happy and comfortable in every update. He communicates really well, is super reliable, and always sends the best photos. It’s such a relief knowing she’s in good hands during the day. Highly recommend!”
“Eva was incredibly helpful and went the extra mile to ensure I understood everything. I highly recommend her services! "I was very impressed with Eva’s expertise. She always available to answer questions and kept me informed throughout the process." Thank you for taking care of our fur babies while we were away. Very trustworthy, and I will surely book again with Eva.”
About: I grew up with pets that I had to love and care for on my own upon many other responsibilities. Even trained 6 cats on a whistle on an acre of land with a puppy as well! I just have a love for all animals. I’m reliable, honest, trustworthy and on time which a lot of people appreciate. I’m currently working part time but is very flexible throughout the week so I am able to work with anyone’s schedule. I also work out a lot throughout the week which helps with taking dogs on walks. I work with whatever the client’s request of me. Whether it’s a dog that just needs someone to hangout with and be taken outside frequently, I care for pets to whatever is needed or more.
“Caitlin was great in doing our cat “drop in” visits. Followed directions and played with the kitties. Very reliable, followed directions, and had great communication. She sent us such cute pictures of the kitties while we were away. Would hire again!”
About: I love dogs and they deserve all of the love. I don’t have any pets at home, I would treat yours like mine. I often babysit my friend’s dog, and I have fostered dog from the rescue too. During the weekday, be able to walk dog 2-3 times a day, I have my mom live with me to help dog walks. I am free all day for weekends, just reach out to me the day before to make appointment. I care your pets with all my heart, I follow the routine, and keep you updates with all of details, I like you to know how your pets doing.
“Jordan was absolutely great with our kitty! She is very responsive, thorough in her updates, and very positive. We really appreciated her videos and photos and were so glad that our little guy was being so well taken care of and having some great playtime for a few days while we were away! She also brought in our packages that arrived while we were out which was very kind. We’d absolutely recommend her for catsitting anytime! Thanks again, Jordan! 😊”
About: I have a senior dog of my own and treat her like my own child. I make sure to give the dogs I care for stimulating activities, essential exercise, time outside to ground themselves in the grass, frequent potty breaks, and a healthy and nutritious diet. Given their short lifetime and unconditional love, I believe they deserve to live a fulfilling life and provide that for any pet I take care of. I am able to accommodate requests, but please ask with reasonable notice preferably in advance. The weekends are most flexible and some holidays may vary. Maintaining the pet's regular schedule for feeding, exercise, and playtime helps them feel secure and comfortable in their familiar environment. Engaging pets in stimulating activities and providing a cozy space with their favorite toys ensures mental and physical well-being. Consistent updates to the client, including photos and messages, offer reassurance and peace of mind. Delivering attentive and affectionate care, along with respecting the client's home, creates a positive and loving experience for both the pet and the client.
“Birgitta made all visits including checking robot litter box, auto feeders, and water. She kept close contact and provided status updates on the rover.com app. We arrived home early and was able to help with the final 8th day feeding without issues. The cat looked great. Thanks for taking good care for 'Nile.'”
“My wife and I were in a pinch and needed to find someone trustworthy to provide drop-in visits for our 4 month old puppy during the day. We were honestly a little nervous using Rover but Vanessa quickly put all our worries to rest. We appreciate her constant communication with us as well as her overflowing affection for our pup during her visits! She’s amazing.”
About: I’ve been a dog groomer for the past five years, but recently left my 9-5 to stay at home with my two year old son. I’ve always worked with animals and wouldn’t have it any other way. Recent SAHM looking for some extra money for the household. My schedule is currently wide open from morning to evening all week long including weekends. I always respect a pet’s boundaries and always let them do the approaching.

I am happy with Vanessa being our cat nanny. My cat loved her. When we came back he wasn’t stressed out or depressed. He was active, looking healthy and happy. She left adorable notes every time of visiting him. I highly appreciate Vanessa’s work. She is an amazing person. I had an outstanding communication with her. I highly recommend Vanessa as a pet sitter. We would love her to come to our cat again.
Our cat loves Aileen! She always gets the biggest meows when she comes over. It makes us happy to know he looks forward to seeing her. My cat is particular with food and she delivers it in his special way, which also makes us relieved that he’s eating while we’re gone. Thanks Aileen!
Shu was awesome! She was super responsive, reliable, and great with Ason and Dilla. She kept us updated throughout the visit, sent lots of photos, took them on nice walks, made sure they had fresh water, and genuinely seemed to care about them. It gave us a lot of peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. Both dogs looked happy and comfortable with her, and everything went smoothly from start to finish. We will absolutely use Shu again and highly recommend her!

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Lawndale is $27 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $32 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 19,884 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Lawndale. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.
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.

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.
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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
