“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.”
“Shauna was great! She was super communicative and took great care of my dog and cats. I felt completely at ease while I was away because I felt confident that my pets were being taken great care of. She sent me great pictures and all the animals seemed completely happy and relaxed when I came home. I can’t recommend her enough!”
“Jessica is the best! Great communication, and calming presence with our very energetic dogs! We have a 2 year old German Shepherd and 1 year old Rottweiler, shepherd mix - Jessica was great with our big dogs.. assertive, and confident handling. Highly recommended!”
“Joel is a wonderful dog and house sitter. He really fits in great, understands and cares thoughtfully and affectionately for your dog. He is professional and yet kindly personal at the same time. He was a fantastic gift to me at this time.”
“Michelle was great with our little 10 week old puppy. She was able to step in at the last minute and watch him for an evening. He’s young so he can be a handful but came home to an excited puppy who didn’t seemed stressed at all and was well taken care of. Very professional and would recommend!”
“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 :)”
“Lindsey is wonderful! She has such great energy and gave our Luna all the exercise and attention she needed. She sent us tons of pictures of their daily walks and adventures! Thank you Lindsey for taking such great care of our babies.”
About: I love dogs, cats, and everything in between! I’ve taken care of my brothers puppy for 5 months, my own dog for about 5.5 years, my grandmas and my aunts dogs for a few years, both of whom live farther away, and have given walks, baths, and naps to all of them. I am currently down from my studies at UC Berkeley back in my hometown of long beach, and am currently on break from my job up there so this is my main priority aside from mental health, but dogs solve that! My home is fenced in and in a nice neighborhood, I care for dogs with kibble-based meals, raw food meals, and everything in between, I have a large bathtub for any dogs, and will do whatever the owner would like at their home as well. I am a naturally clean person and will keep a client’s home very clean as well.
“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.”
“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.”
“Julia was such a wonderful sitter for our senior pup and cat! She sent regular updates + photos while we were gone, and took on extra medicine for our dog last minute. She helped out with extra items like mail pickup and cleaned all of the items she used without being asked. I would highly recommend her to others!”
“Emily was absolutely wonderful! So caring to our pup and so thoughtful to us, sending pictures unprompted (such a lovely surprise to get throughout the day!) and really giving him the love we couldn’t while we were gone. I’d highly recommend Emily to anyone needing someone to care for their dog, she was fantastic :)”
“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.”
About: I’m the go to pet sitter! I have taken care of dogs, cats, bunnies etc. I am a huge animal person and strive to make any and all pets comfortable and happy. I have worked with small and large (including my own horse) so I am familiar with any and all types of pets. I do work full time but have a very flexible schedule. Although I work best with routine (as much as your animals) I can work with the times you give me! As much as I would love to do in house sitting, I have two fur babies that love their space. I wouldn’t want to jeopardize that!
“Cassandra is wonderful! She is very responsive and on top of communicating regularly and providing updates. She clearly made both of our dogs feel comfortable and works really well even with our more anxious pup. She followed all care and related instructions perfectly!”
“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 :)”
“Christopher looked after our kids for 9 days and my old Great Dane just fell in love !! The young ones kept him quite busy and he diligently took care of each with a warm heart and lots of love hugs and kisses to all the fur babies . Absolutely fantastic to know you can rely on such a competent and friendly dog sitter like him. Got home today and my kids was over the moon .. Definitely a 5👌🏼in our books ..”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Los Alamitos
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!
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.

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!
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!
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.
