“Don is a gift to my Fellow. I have a spirited 2 year old Airedale, Fellow, and Don's updates and photos are so appreciated. I have rebooked with him several times and will continue. Thank you for taking such great care of Fellow!!”
“Brianna did a great job with my anxious pittie! She allowed my pup the time and space she needed to get comfortable with her. The week started with my pup not letting Brianni leash her, and eventually ended up with her asking Brianni for pets and snuggling with her. And throughout the week she housesat for me, Brianni kept me well informed, which especially eased my worry during the adjustment period. I would be happy to book Brianni again!”
“Gabriana was amazing. Our pets took to her so quickly, including our highly anxious dog! She’s a pet whisperer. We also returned to a clean and organized house. Highly recommend her!”
“Kayla was professional, prompt, and courteous. She stayed in our home four nights taking care of our 10 week old Lab puppy. Not an easy assignment. Kayla followed his busy schedule and took amazing care of him. We would be thrilled to use her again!”
“Jenny was absolutely amazing. She is very responsive, quick and reliable and she took amazing care of our home and, most importantly, little Lily. Lily can be very shy with humans but she loves Jenny and we would book her again anytime. Thank you so much!”
“Thomas was fantastic. He is genuinely warm animal loving person. He was sending me the pictures of my dogs constantly and updating me how they are doing. He is like a good dog daddy.”
“Hannah was great! She stayed in close communication, sent pics and I know my dog was perfectly happy in his normal routine while we were out of town. She went above and beyond in many ways!”
“The first time you leave your dog can be a little intimidating but luckily someone like Maegan not only made going away for the day stress free and as easy as can be but we know Huey (our pup) had an amazing time with her. Booking her again right away. Thanks Maegan!”
“Brenna stepped in for me in an urgency and was the utmost friendly, communicative and wonderful caretaker for my two pups - one big and one small. I would hire Brenna again (and plan to!) in a heartbeat. She is the best and a fantastic doggie caretaker.”
About: I've been around cats and dogs my entire life, so being around animals has always felt natural to me. Although I'm new to professional pet sitting, I've had opportunities throughout my life to look after dogs for a few hours at a time. I enjoy spending time with animals, giving them attention, playing with them, and making sure they're comfortable and cared for. I'm excited to turn my lifelong love for animals into an opportunity to provide dependable, loving care for other people's pets. Although I don't currently have pets of my own, caring for animals is something I'd genuinely enjoy making part of my daily routine. I'd love the opportunity to spend time with cats and dogs, whether that means going on walks, playing, providing companionship, or making sure they're comfortable and well cared for while their owners are away. I'm prepared to plan my schedule around agreed-upon visits and care responsibilities so that each pet receives the time and attention it deserves. My priority is to make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. In a client's home, I'd follow the owner's instructions regarding feeding, walking, playtime, and any specific routines or needs their pet may have. I'd keep a close eye on pets during walks and playtime, use leashes and other safety equipment as instructed, and make sure doors and gates are secure. I believe communication and trust are essential, so I'd keep owners updated and let them know if I noticed anything unusual. Whether we're going for a walk, playing, or simply spending time together, I'd treat each pet with patience, kindness, and respect while being mindful of the owner's home and rules.
“Saudi’s was incredible, quick to respond and very kind. Thank you for paying special attention to Obi. Everything went incredibly well. It was great to find someone to help out so quickly.”
“Irene was the absolute best! She took such good care of our babies, sent us pics, videos and updates, I really appreciated that. Definitely rebooking with her next time. Thank you for everything Irene :)”
About: Hey everyone! My name is Andy and I am currently within the LA region. I love all types of animals and will show all the love you show for them while you are gone. As of now, I have had many pets throughout my life and currently have a cat and two dogs (currently at my family home). I have volunteered at animal shelters since 6th grade and have experience with rover since 2020. I will ensure your pet is safe and will give the attention he/she/they deserve.I am very active and can take your dog out to play (if he/she/they want). I can take care of any type of dog as I have myself large and small dogs. I will make sure your child feels safe and "feels at home" with you away. I work from 9-4pm and work from home. I am always free weekends to take care of your pets needs. I can create a flexible schedule for owner, myself and pet. Will focus on the needs of your pet and personality. When given a schedule I will do exactly what is said. Dogs have routines and will stick to it without having them to adapt to a new person.
About: My entire life I've cared for and raised cats, dogs, rabbits, guinea pigs, lizards, hamsters, mice, and fish. I'm an animal lover to my core and would love to help care for yours. I currently live with my two cats Buster and Posey but also love dogs of all sizes and take long daily walks on the boardwalk. I've taken care of sick and dying dogs and cats in my life as well and am comfortable with different mobility or medical needs. I have provided pet sitting since I was 15 years old for a number of different animals and I hope I can come take care of your loved one soon! :) I work from home and my schedule is very flexible so I am available to come to your house for feeding, cuddles, or walks whenever and however often you need. I do have two cats who live with me so unfortunately I am not able to offer boarding at my house. I have lots of love and time to share with your pet and will take care of them like they were my own. I am available for an in-person meet and greet to begin so we can all get to know each other.
“Lily was so great with our pup but also to our house while we were away. She was so helpful with the chaos of a recent move in to a new house - so grateful we found her! Absolutely will book again :)”
About: Safety first so I double checked my apartment for any hazardous items, edges, or liquids that could possibly endanger any pet! I also love taking lots of pictures with the dogs in my care. Staying active is a priority of mine so it makes it a lot more fun when I can have an active or playful pet around! I ride a skate board so it's easy for me to get around town quickly for in home visits to your pets. Spacious room is ideal for pets with their own beds or toys. I live alone so you can sure all my attention will be focused on the safety and care of your furry friends! Your pet will have my full attention as I don’t work right now I only focus on caring for pets. I also foster dogs here and there. I have plenty experience with all types of dogs and I can easily pick up on whatever your pets needs are.I always will make sure to keep you informed on our daily activities. I currently only go to school online so I will dedicate all of my time to being with the dogs in my care which makes it easier for me to keep track of any special needs your pet may need like medication or strict bathroom breaks things like that. I aim to keep the way that I care for and treat the dogs the same way that they would be treated at home so that they dont develop any inappropriate habits while they are away from home so if they aren't allowed on furniture at home ill be sure to keep them off furniture at my home so that they can stay well trained.
“Truly cannot say enough about how amazing Grace is. She's just a genuinely wonderful human and is absolutely amazing with animals. She stayed overnight with our two (high maintenance) dogs for five nights in our home. To be honest, I had thought of cancelling the trip because it just felt too overwhelming to trust someone with our dogs and in our house. But the moment I met Grace, I knew it was going to be okay. And it was more than okay...the dogs were so well taken care of, the house was immaculate when we returned, and it was an easy, stress free process. She kept us updated throughout with just the right amount of check ins. She dealt with diapers, diarrhea, pee accidents, bath time, an absurdly picky eater - all the joys of a very senior dog. And on top of that, she made sure that our other dog was totally taken care of and never left out. So very happy we found her. The dogs clearly miss her, and I look forward to booking her again soon!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Los Angeles
Logan was great with my two dogs while I was away. I had never left them with a dogsitter before for an extended period of time, but felt very at peace knowing they were being taken care of by him. I received daily pictures and updates that put me further at ease! I could tell my dogs also felt comfortable and safe with him immediately which was the most important thing :)
Rayven was exceptional in caring for my newly acquired dog. I was apprehensive leaving him with someone after only having him a month, however Rayven treated him as her own and updated me daily with how he was doing, including assuring me that he was doing great and was not anxious about being left for a few days. I highly recommend Rayven to care for your pets.
Carolina took great care of my 7 month old kitten KiKi. She had just been spayed the week prior, so was still recovering at the beginning of my week trip. Carolina was punctual and actually flexible when I was running late to our initial meet and greet. She followed instructions and sent me daily pictures/videos. It was nice to hear my cat purring with happiness. At the end of her week long shift, Carolina emptied the trash and vacuumed to help clean up loose litter. She was very easy to communicate with and responsive. Overall, my kitten quickly felt comfortable to cuddle with Carolina. Would definitely hire her again in the future.
Sandy was very responsible and communicative while house sitting our two senior dogs. She made sure to send updates with photos and videos every day. She was also able to keep up with our dogs’ feeding and medication schedule. She went above and beyond and even signed for packages while we were away. I highly recommend her!
Thank you SO SO much, Sarah. We knew you would be excellent and you exceeded our expectations! I would recommend booking Sarah 100%. She is thoughtful, creative, responsible, knowledgeable, experienced, punctual, kind, and down to earth! All the traits in the world one can appreciate dearly! I’m so grateful to have Sarah with my little babies, who so need someone like her to watch after them while I’m gone 🥹🥹🥹
Elisabeth was very caring and responsibe. She sent updates and pictures throughout her 10 days stay so that we were able to enjoy our vacation worry free. She took extremely good care of our cat and left our place super tidy. We are glad we found her and will definetely hire her again.
Cory is the best! Our pup absolutely fell in love with her while we were away. She kept the house tidy and organized and made sure to ensure bono was always happy and comfortable. Would definitely recommend and will be seeing her again next time we leave town.
Lio took amazing care of our sweet rescue dog Winnie. This was our first time leaving Winnie with a sitter, and Lio knocked it out of the park! Winnie is very scared and timid at first, and Lio was so respectful of her boundaries. In a short time Winnie warmed up to Lio and they had a great connection! Thank you for making Winnie feel safe! Lio gave great updates and left our apartment in great condition. Will definitely book again!!
Five stars all the way! Lee took wonderful care of our puppy, Javi, for nine days, and we couldn’t be more grateful. Javi is a lovable little monster with plenty of puppy energy, and Lee handled all of it with so much patience, kindness, and grace. He kept Javi happy and occupied and our house intact! Being able to relax while we were away, knowing Javi was in such caring and capable hands, meant so much to us. We would absolutely book Lee again and highly recommend him!
Anel was amazing and took great care of my dog on my wedding day! She was super sweet and made sure I had peace of mind and wasn’t worried about my dog on my big day. I would recommend Anel to anyone that wants a loving person watching after their pet. Thank you a million Anel!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Los Angeles is $56 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $94 per night. 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 14,550 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across 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 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 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 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Los Angeles. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
