“We LOVE Lindsey! She has such a sweet, calm energy that our big babies (two 90 pound Pitbulls) absolutely loved. We’re so grateful to have found her, and will absolutely be reaching back out to her on our next travel. Oh, she also sent pictures every day, and checked in with us without us asking. She was absolutely fantastic! Thank you Lindsey!”
About: I’ve been a lifelong dog lover and understand that pets are family. I have experience caring for puppies, adult dogs, and senior dogs, and I’m comfortable administering medications, following detailed care instructions, and maintaining each dog’s regular routine. I’m committed to providing a safe, loving, and comfortable environment where every dog feels at home. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, or relaxing with plenty of attention, I’ll make sure they feel happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I carefully follow each pet’s feeding schedule, exercise routine, medications, and any special instructions to ensure consistency and peace of mind. You can count on regular photo updates, reliable communication, and dependable care throughout your dog’s stay. My goal is to treat every dog like family and make their time with me fun, safe, and as stress-free as possible—for both you and your pet. I’m available for weekend boarding and love giving dogs a safe, comfortable, and loving home away from home. Every dog receives personalized care based on their routine, energy level, and personality. Whether your pup enjoys long walks, playing fetch, snuggles, or simply relaxing in a quiet environment, I make sure they feel happy, secure, and loved throughout their stay. Please message me with your scheduling needs and I will do my best to accommodate. Thank you <3 Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. My home is clean, calm, and pet-friendly, with plenty of space to relax and a fully fenced yard for safe, supervised outdoor time. I never leave dogs unattended outside, and I closely monitor them during play and throughout the day. A crate is available if your dog is crate-trained or if they feel more comfortable having their own quiet space.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs throughout my life and genuinely enjoy their company. I currently volunteer at my local animal shelter a few days a week. I have completed the shelters Fear Free training that teaches how to recognize and alleviate Fear, Anxiety, and Stress (FAS) in pets. The training touches on how to read animal body language, low stress handling techniques, environmental and protocol modifications. I have experience with puppies, adults, and senior dogs. I currently work part-time. My schedule consist of working M,W,F at 11:00 AM-3:00 PM and T,Th at 11:00 AM-4:00 PM. I am not scheduled at my day job on the weekends. So on Saturday and Sunday I am available for constant care. I can house sit, do drop in’s, and walks 7 days a week. But on weekdays I will be out 4-5 hours a day due to my work schedule. I will always respect clients boundaries. I understand the importance of leaving the place in good condition and cleaning up after myself. Most importantly sending updates to the owners on how their pets are doing. I also understand the importance of the big responsibility it is to care for my clients pets. I will always treat them as my own, with compassion, care, love and respect.
“Mabel loves Jack so much! He does such a great job keeping her routine, he very attentive to her and always makes sure she is taken care of no matter what is going on. He always takes such good care of her and she is so comfortable with him because of it. He also did a great job sending me lots of pictures and videos which helped me relax while I was away.”
About: Through the years, I’ve taken every opportunity possible to care for the pets of family and friends. I’ve cat-sat, dog-sat, walked dogs, even walked cats in a stroller! My childhood dog was a lab mix named Oreo. She was the most wonderful dog, and I feel incredibly lucky that I got to spend the first 16 years of my life with her. She was a senior dog who required frequent assistance for the last four years of her life. I changed her dog diapers, gave her medication, applied skin ointment daily, etc. Whether it’s puppies or seniors, I’m happy to give them more attention and assistance. I have a dog named Fiona, who is a German Shepherd/Husky mix. I also have a cat named Fish. They are both incredibly high energy, so I definitely understand the importance of walks and play to get all those zoomies out! I have learned through my pets and others that they are all unique in their own ways. No two are the same, each has their own needs and personality. I love learning all their quirks, and I can’t wait to learn about your furry friends too! I’m currently a college student, but I am taking flexible, online courses. This means more time for me and your four-legged family members to play, walk, and have fun! As long as I’m left detailed and thorough instructions, I can care for a majority of dogs or cats 24/7. The only thing I cannot do is administer injectable medication. Every pet has different needs, so please be descriptive of what exactly your furry friends need for me to keep them happy and healthy :)
“Keane took great care of my pups and was very communicative in the process. He sent photos of happy pups, kept me update on their meals and I’d use his services again in a heartbeat!”
“Our first time with Emily staying in our home and taking care of our pets. She is very respectful of our space, took wonderful care of our pets, and was very communicative. Our pets adore her! ❤️”
“Brionna was easy to communicate with, shared lots of photos of our pups, and was very caring with both our dogs. Upon returning home, it was clear the dogs enjoyed being with Brionna (even our grumpy senior dog!). Felt very at ease knowing our dogs were in experienced hands. Looking forward to booking with Brionna again soon.”
“Zeni was great! She took excellent care of Penny while we were out of town. She sent lots of photos and provided daily updates on how everything was going. We will certainly use her again if she is available :)”
About: Hello everyone! I’m an enthusiastic amateur photographer with a serious passion for capturing the unique personalities of dogs, cats, and all kinds of pets. I’m actively working to expand my pet photography portfolio and would love to create beautiful, heartfelt images of your furry family members. Whether it’s playful action shots in the park, cozy in-home portraits, or candid moments during a walk or playtime, I bring patience, treats, and a camera everywhere I go. I’m still building my collection, so I’m happy to offer very affordable (or even complimentary) photography sessions when you book me for dog walking, pet sitting, drop-ins, or overnight stays. I’m gentle, reliable, and genuinely love animals — your pets will be happy and relaxed while I snap some amazing shots you’ll treasure. From goofy zoomies to sweet sleepy cuddles, I aim to freeze those special moments in time. If you’re open to a sitter who also doubles as a pet photographer, let’s team up! Message me to chat about your pet’s personality and what kind of photos you’d love. Can’t wait to meet your four-legged friends and add more adorable images to my growing portfolio! 📸🐶🐱 I'm a retired veteran who has a lot of free time on his hands. I fostered animals while serving in the military and wanted to get back into caring for animals Always flexible with animals and the level of care/attention they require. More than willing to be out and about for a while or stay in because they're home bodies
“Kristen was amazing. We booked her last minute, but she still made time to come to our home, meet Chapo, and take notes on everything she needed to know. Our flight was early in the morning, and as soon as I sent the request, she responded right away and came over to learn about his meds, routine, and schedule. We’re so grateful for her. She played with Chapo, took him on walks, and made sure he got his meds since he had an upset stomach when we left. She updated us every time she was with him, which gave me so much peace of mind during our trip. Highly recommend her!”
“Mary did an excellent job caring for our 2 dogs and cat while we were away for the weekend. She is an excellent communicator, follows all instructions and gave our babies so much love! Will be booking her again :)”
“Kat is the best! She has stayed at my house with my senior/special needs dogs twice. I always feel very comfortable knowing my special babies are being taken care of. She is great about sending picture updates and asking questions if something isn’t clear. She even feeds my neighborhood feral cats for me. She is also respectful of my house and I have never had any issues.”
“Alexa agreed to petsit for my dog and cat very last minute in our home for 2 nights, and I am so happy we found her! She was very communicative and professional and my dog loved her! She left our home cleaner than when we left. Will definitely ask her to petsit for us again.”
“Katrina is so kind and thoughtful. We were so happy with how our home and pup were cared for while we were away on vacation. Katrina sent lots of photos, and is quick and easy to communicate with. We’ll be booking again!”
“We had such a great experience with Sue and are incredibly grateful! She stepped in on very late notice and truly saved our ski trip. From the start, communication was easy and reassuring. Our German Shepherd can be a handful, but Sue handled her with confidence and care. She made sure our dog got plenty of exercise with regular walks, and it was clear she was happy and comfortable the entire time. We really appreciated the updates and the attention she gave her.”

Alexa was beyond amazing. Our fur babies fell in love with her immediately! Our Mia is very particular with whom she warms up to. Alexa won her over quickly. Sasha needs to wear a brace and Alexa was happy to provide the extra care that required. Alexa left our house as we had left it. She was very tidy. We definitely recommend her.
Wow! This surpassed every expectation I had; Glasgow was so happy and at peace for the 9+ day overnight trip while we were overseas. We've never had a formal house / pet sitter before, and we are so happy we found Denger — we're already re-booking them for future trips. :) Thank you for giving us the confidence and care...we're so thankful!

Nicole is amazing. We did a few short visits for the dogs to get to know her before our week long trip away. She picked up on our dogs’ personalities very quickly and adapted her energy to match to make it the best possible scenario. She was polite and respectful to both our dogs and our home while we were away. I couldn’t recommend her more and will definitely be reaching out to her on a regular basis for all our sitter needs!
We’ve booked Sarah several times and trust her wholeheartedly with our two rescues while we’re out of town. She is so great with them, mindful of our training lifestyle, and respectful of house rules. She communicates frequently and leaves our place spotless upon return. If you want peace of mind while you are out of town, we highly recommend Sarah!
Candy is an absolute gem of a dog sitter! From the moment we connected, I felt completely at ease leaving my dogs in her care. She is reliable, attentive, and genuinely loves animals, which shows in everything she does. Candy kept me updated and treated my dogs like her own. I came home to happy, relaxed pups, which says it all. I wouldn’t hesitate to book Candy again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and wonderful dog sitter.
Julia was awesome. Was pretty anxious about leaving my boy with a stranger for the first time, but Julia and her partner had good vibes and showed she took the job seriously after our first meeting which put me at ease. She sent daily photos and updates for the 10 days I was away and my home was as clean as when I left. Will definitely ask for her help again in the future. Thank you!

This was our first time using Rover and Elyse was there every step of the way. She took great care of our car and dog and sent us lots of pictures and videos along the way. It was great to have someone there so we could enjoy time away from the house without having to worry about the pets. Thank you!

FAQs for House Sitting - Los Alamitos
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Los Alamitos on Rover is $61.05 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 14,657 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Los Alamitos. 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 Los Alamitos 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 Los Alamitos 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 Los Alamitos 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 Los Alamitos. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% 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.
