“Ivy took a good care of our dogs for 9 days including administering insulin shots to one of our senior dogs. All of our 3 dogs warmed up to Ivy right away because of her calm demeanor, and Abi, the young GSD, even got zoomies while we were away which tells us she was very comfortable with Ivy. Ivy is also a great communicator, flexible, and always punctual. Thank you Ivy!”

About: I have had dogs in my family ever since I could remember. As an adult, I have had my own dogs for the last five years - Star and Popsicle are my world! I am comfortable walking two dogs at a time, administering medicines, and if there is anything else your pet may need, I have probably handled it myself before. I have cared for other people's pets on and off for years as well and have handled many situations with ease. I currently have a very flexible, open schedule that can accommodate any specific walk times or potty breaks. I can assist any time of day, any day of the week. Hello! Trusting me with your beloved pet means that they will be taken care of with all the love and attention that I give my own two dogs. I am patient, attentive, and kind in my care, and I genuinely love being around any pets! From feeding to enriching walks, I want to make sure your pet feels safe and happy while you are away.
About: I’ve been around and caring for animals since I was a kid, including my own pets as well as pets belonging to friends, family, and others. I have experience pet sitting, walking dogs, feeding, playing, and providing everyday care. Throughout my life I have lived with over 25 different animals with all different ages, needs, and personalities. With that, I’m comfortable with dogs and cats of all different sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities, and I understand that every animal has their own routine and needs. I’m patient, attentive, and always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I have just recently graduated collage and am in the process of looking for further work and internships in my field, so, for the most part, I have a very flexible and free schedule. I have plenty of time for pet care, including walks, feeding, playtime, check-ins, and companionship. I’m happy to work with each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible and can plan visits around their usual feeding, walking, and care schedule. Of course, I do need to know dates and responsibilities a few days in advance, but I am happy to work around your needs! I take safety and trust very seriously when caring for someone else’s pet and home. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely, keep pets secure on walks and during visits, and pay attention to their behavior and comfort level. I make sure they have fresh food and water, a clean environment, plenty of attention, and any space they need. I also respect each home and always leave everything clean and secure.

I love animals and love being around them whether it is at a park, laying around the house or going on walks Im currently working part time. I have plenty of time for walks and to hang out with your pets. No need to worry about schedules as well as I am free to follow any schedule your pet needs I can spend time with your dog at a park or just hanging around the house. If you need someone to watch the dog during the day or at night I can do that as well.
“JoAnne was great to work with! It’s always hard for me to leave my senior chihuahua, but JoAnne provided excellent communication with many updates and pictures. It was reassuring to see my baby so comfortable around her and I came home to a happy pup. I would highly recommend JoAnne to anyone looking for assistance. Thank you JoAnne!”

“Katherine was fantastic. She was punctual and professional and she kept me up to date on the pups over the long weekend while I was out of town. She sent a number of photos and took excellent care of my two dogs. I would highly recommend Katherine, and I will certainly have her help me out again in the future.”

About: Hi, I’m Fibie! I’m a 22-year-old nursing student who would love the opportunity to care for your pets like they’re my own. I have two dogs of my own—a 6-year-old terrier mix who is my best friend and loves to cuddle, and a playful 7-month-old American Bully who keeps me on my toes! I’ve grown up around pets my whole life and have experience caring for the pets of family and friends. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members, and my goal is to make pet care one less thing for you to worry about. Whether you’re busy, traveling, or simply need an extra hand, I’m here to provide your pets with plenty of love, attention, playtime, and care. I can’t wait to meet your pets, get to know their personalities, and make some new furry friends! I am a nursing student with a flexible schedule, offering reliable, loving pet care throughout the week and weekends, including walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays. I prioritize keeping pets safe, comfortable, and supervised at all times. My two dogs get regular walks and outdoor time in our secure, turf-covered backyard. I’m happy to follow your pet’s routine, including crate training if needed, or allow them to roam while I keep a close eye on them.
“LOVE BETHANY!!! She is sweet, amazing with my pups, and extremely responsible. She replied to my inquiry immediately, and scheduled a meeting with me and the dogs for the following day. My difficult pup loved her, and my loving pup was even more excited to have her come over even though I was gone. I had Bethany house-sit for a long weekend, and received numerous photos and updates on my fur babies. I was nervous to leave them at home, but was able to leave with confidence that my babes would be cared for. If I could give 6 stars I would. Thanks Bethany!”

“Elaine is great! She watched our baby girl for 2 weeks while we were on vacation, which is the longest we’ve ever left her. We knew our dog was well taken care of and enjoying her company. We received tons of pictures and videos which always eased our mind, knowing she was getting lots of attention.”


About: Hi! I’m Alexis, a lifelong animal lover who knows how important it is to have someone you truly trust caring for your pets. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to tailor my care to each pet’s individual personality, age, routine, and comfort level. I’m comfortable caring for dogs at every stage of life, from energetic puppies to sweet seniors who may need a little extra patience and attention. For puppies, I’m happy to keep up with frequent potty breaks, playtime, walks, enrichment, and the routines and training you’re already working on at home. For older dogs, I’m comfortable adjusting activity levels, providing a little extra TLC, and following more detailed care routines. I’m also comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, enrichment, cuddles, and keeping your pet company while you’re away. I can follow detailed care instructions and medication schedules, including administering routine oral and topical medications as directed by pet parents. My healthcare background has made me especially attentive to routines, instructions, and changes in behavior or well-being. I understand that some dogs want to be your instant best friend, while others need a little extra patience and time to warm up — I’m happy to meet them wherever they are. I take pet care seriously and will always treat your pet and home with the same care and respect I’d want for my own. I’m also happy to provide plenty of photos and updates, so you can relax knowing your pup is safe, comfortable, and getting lots of attention. Whether you need walks, drop-in visits, medication support, puppy care, senior care, or simply someone to keep your dog company while you’re away, I’d love to meet you and your furry family member! 🐾 I currently have a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to dedicate to pet care throughout the week. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, and companionship on both weekdays and weekends. I’m happy to work around your pet’s established routine, including specific feeding times, walks, medications, or other daily needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I carefully follow each pet parent’s instructions and take the time to learn your pet’s normal routine, personality, and needs. I’m comfortable following detailed feeding and medication schedules, including administering routine oral and topical medications as directed. I’ll provide attentive, loving care, keep your pet’s environment clean and secure, and send plenty of photos and updates so you know how they’re doing while you’re away.
“Erik was perfect with Odin. Followed all of my instructions, walked him, played with him, and worked on training. He made sure Odin was safe and well taken care of!”

“This was the first time leaving our puppies since we adopted them at the end of April. We were nervous as they are still working on their social skills and adjusting after being thrown out of a car as puppies. Quiana was amazing though. We could tell when we met her that she knew how to work with them, letting Leo, the protective brother growl at her and ignoring him until he decided it was okay to let his guard down. Throughout our trip, Quiana sent updates including photos and videos of all our pets including our 18 year old cat. When she had to leave our puppies at an unplanned time to run back to her house and let her own dog out while her boyfriend was at work, she let us know - this was appreciated as we wouldn’t have known if she didn’t tell us. The transparency certainly helped gain our trust. She also took good care of our house and brought the mail and newspapers in without being asked! We’d highly recommend Quiana and will definitely be calling on her again in the future!”


About: Hiii! I’m Marlena. I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, so they’ve always been a huge part of my life. Over the years, I’ve grown such a strong love for taking care of animals. I have experience with both larger dogs and really small dogs, and I’m good at picking up on their body language and little signs so I can understand what they need. I’ll always make sure your pup feels safe, loved, and well taken care of while they’re with me! I’m currently offering part-time walks while starting my senior year of high school. I’m available after 3 PM on weekdays and all day on weekends, allowing me to give pets the time, attention, and care they deserve. Your pet’s safety is always my top priority during walks. I pay close attention to my surroundings, keep pets securely leashed, avoid unsafe areas, and make sure each walk is comfortable, safe, and enjoyable for your dog.
About: My goal is to make sure your pet feels loved & cared for. I also want you to feel at total ease if you need to leave them and allow me to care for them. I know what it’s like to want the best for your pet. I’m a 4th grade teacher starting my second year teaching! My availabilities are generally weekends throughout the day and weekdays after 4/4:30. Pet care is an important part of my routine with my 12 year old Maltipoo. We go on night walks, quick morning strolls & if I’m ever off for the day, we love to go on fun, adventurous car rides. My dog, Pogo, always stays with one of my parents if I’m at work or away. Due to all of our schedules, he is never alone, so he is taken to the bathroom regularly. I like to keep him active & engage with him, allowing him to have the fullest enjoyment. That said, I carry the same actions when pet sitting. They receive full attention from me, because I know how crucial it is for pets to feel loved, especially when their pet parent is away.
“I had an amazing experience with Allen taking care of my dog on short notice. He was very communicative and kept in contact with regular status updates and photos. Not only did he take excellent care of my dog but also went above and beyond to ensure the house was tidy. I highly recommend Allen to anyone looking for a reliable, caring and professional dog sitter. I will definitely be booking again!”

“Velvet is amazing! I rescued a pup off the streets yesterday and had an important appointment this morning. I booked Velvet late in the evening the night before, and she shifted her schedule to help me last minute and was wonderful with communication. Even more importantly, Velvet made this sweet rescue boy (again, fresh off the streets) feel calm, comfortable, and she even got him to snuggle with her! If she's this much of an dog whisperer with a fearful stray boy, I can only imagine the incredible care a beloved pet would receive. Thank you so incredibly much, Velvet! I can't tell you how much I appreciate you!”
“Thanks to Chloe for caring for my cat, Neko, and my turtle and snail. My pets are high maintenance and Chloe followed all my instructions even a last minute change when I had to house my snail separately. I came home to happy pets after my trip.”

About: I’m an attentive and detail-oriented pet sitter with hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and a variety of other pets. I grew up with dogs and have extensive experience with overnight stays, ranging from weekend trips to 1–2 week vacations. I take each pet’s routine seriously and make sure their individual care instructions are followed closely - from feeding schedules and medications to exercise, playtime, and their usual routines. I also send regular photo and message updates so you can relax knowing how your pet is doing while you’re away. I’m a powerlifter and active person, so I’m comfortable handling strong, high-energy dogs and providing plenty of exercise. I’m happy to accommodate both short and long walks, playtime, and whatever level of activity is appropriate for your pet. I’m detail-oriented, adaptable, and take pride in providing dependable care that fits each pet’s individual needs. My weekday schedule is primarily in-office, so I’m best suited for overnight stays, mornings and evenings, and I’m fully flexible on weekends. My goal is simple: for your pets to feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for—and for you to have peace of mind while you’re away. I work in an office Monday through Friday, so I’m most flexible on weekends. For pets who are comfortable being home during the workday, I’m available for morning and evening care, overnight stays, and throughout the weekend. I can also accommodate a midday drop-in during my lunch hour for pets who need an extra break or more frequent attention. I’m careful to create a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every pet. I’m happy to care for pets in my home or their home, depending on the service and what works best for them. Before each stay, I like to go over their routine, care instructions, medications, exercise needs, and your expectations so we’re on the same page. I follow instructions closely and treat your home and belongings with the same care I would my own.
“Scarlett is outstanding! We booked her for 10-days housesitting. She took great care of our 2 large dogs. One is a mellow senior with medical issues, the other a hyper 1yo. Juggling the 2 so different dogs is not an easy task, but Scarlett did it well and attended to all their needs. The dogs loved her! Scarlett is by far the best sitter we booked through Rover, and we had many fine ones. I trust her 100%.”

The median cost per night for house sitting in Lomita is $63

Cassandra was incredible! We truly feel so blessed and lucky that we were able to find her. We were gone for 7 days and did not worry about our dog for a single second! She sent consistent update photos of him being goofy or taking him on beautiful nature walks. She genuinely has a lot of love for pets, and you can see it through the amount of care and love she pours into them. She literally built such a strong bond with our dog that he was looking for her after we came back home!! She is exactly what we have been looking for but have never been able to find! This will 100% not be the last time we work with Cassandra. Truly went above and beyond, I can’t recommend her enough!

Scarlett was fantastic. Showed up on time and took care of both of our dogs over our wedding weekend. She used to be a vet tech, so very knowledgeable about dogs, and did amazing with both dogs. We have a blue Heeler and a golden doodle, so very different dogs. Super respectful of our place, would for sure hire her again.

Allen was excellent! From the time we met at the initial meet & greet, he went out of his way to connect with my fur baby. He plopped down on the floor w/her, let her sniff him, and immediately showed her love and attention. During the visit, he sent pictures and kept me updated on a regular basis. When I returned home, my dog was happy, well cared for, and my house was spotless! I would recommend him 100% if you need a dog and house sitter!!

Katherine was fantastic. She was punctual and professional and she kept me up to date on the pups over the long weekend while I was out of town. She sent a number of photos and took excellent care of my two dogs. I would highly recommend Katherine, and I will certainly have her help me out again in the future.

Ji Hae took care of my dog while i was out of town and she did a wonderful job! My dog had a nice little staycation at home with extra walks and playtime. Always kept me updated with photos and what they were up to. Looks like they both had a good weekend. Thank you again!!

Grace was absolutely amazing. As a first time rover user, she took away all the stress and worry I had leaving my boy alone for the first time. She was communicative, patient, sent daily updates and pictures, and overall was very kind and respectful of our space. We will be sure to use her again.

Gabby provided exceptional care for our dog. From our initial meeting, her professionalism and thoroughness were immediately apparent; she asked insightful questions that covered details we hadn't even considered. We truly appreciated the consistent updates and photos she shared throughout the stay. Upon our return, our home was in pristine condition. Furthermore, the training tips she provided have already proven effective. We are incredibly pleased and will definitely be booking her services again!

Liana was fantastic with my 15 1/2 year old and 9 year old dogs. They both take medication twice a day and Bowie & Truffles warmed up to her which shows she really was beyond amazing 🤩 as Bowie does not easily bond with anyone. Constant updates and photos were a relief as I was so anxious as I don’t travel often. I felt her warmth the moment she came to visit for a meet & greet. I highly recommend Liana.

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 Lomita 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 Lomita 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Lomita 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 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.
