“I honestly can’t rave enough about how kind, patient and caring she is with our wild boxer pup. This is the 2nd time we book her and we are so happy with the amount of updates she shared with us.”
“Súper professional and accommodating. Needed a sitter last minute for Mother’s Day and Josh went above and beyond. Very good about communicating updates. Handled giving my dog Vida her pill. & just all around a kind and caring guy! Definitely will book with him again.”
“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!!”
About: I've provided loving pet care for years, including daily walks, feeding, playtime, and overnight stays. I am reliable, attentive, and treat every pet like family. Pet care fits seamlessly into my flexible schedule. I prioritize pets’ needs daily, ensuring timely walks, meals, and attention—whether mornings, evenings, or even on weekends. I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment, follow all client instructions carefully, and ensure pets feel secure, loved, and comfortable in my care at all times.
“Always a reliable sitter for my dog. Took great care of him. Messaged me when he was dealing with illness/diarrhea issues. Came back to a happy and healthy doggo.”
“Annika is amazing!! Wilbur couldn’t have been in better hands. She was timely, caring, and made sure my dog had a blast. She kept us posted with lots of photos and truly went above and beyond. I couldn’t recommend her highly enough!!”
About: For nearly two decades, my neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to care for their pets when they are away. I have extensive experience looking after dogs and cats of all ages and needs. Not only can I take your high-energy dog for a long walk or run, I will also slow things down to give your elderly pet the time and attention they need. I’m known for never refusing a belly rub and always loving your pets like my own. I am also happy to check up on aquarium dwellers (like my client who has goldfish!) I am a professional dancer and summer is the slow season, so I have flexible hours that can fit anyone’s busy day. I am available for daytime check-ins, walks, and daycare any day of the week. My schedule easily allows for pet pickups/drop offs and house sitting. I am home most of the day to keep your dog company. If I am out of the house it usually will only be for a couple hours and I have a very friendly dog who will comfort your dog in my absence. Because I am home most of the time, I can do exercise and potty breaks as frequently as you would like.
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Yulia is hands-down one of the best sitters I’ve ever worked with on Rover. She took exceptional care of my cats; not just covering the basics, but genuinely spending quality time with them and making sure they felt safe and loved while I was away. Her communication is outstanding. I received frequent updates, photos, and thoughtful check-ins, which gave me complete peace of mind throughout my trip. She’s reliable, responsive, and incredibly attentive to detail. It’s clear Yulia truly cares about the animals she looks after, and that level of trust is priceless. I will absolutely continue booking her and would fully recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter they can depend on without hesitation. Very grateful repeat customer”
“Mahalia is the best sitter of all time. I have have 10+ through rover, and they all do fine, but Mahalia went above and beyond to ensure everything was great from day 1 to the end of my travels. My dog is selective, and she passed every test 10x. I will be using her on every trip she’s available for me!!”
“Jessica (Jasper) was great and was loved by our little guy! Took great care of our place and kept our little one entertained and safe. A very kind and compassionate soul whom we'd love to have back.”
“Alexandrea was wonderful and took care of my elderly pup with the upmost care. I received updates throughout the stay and would absolutely welcome her help again!”
“Having Gabriana as our dog sitter gives us such peace of mind while we are away because we know our dog is getting the best care. Gabriana sends us daily updates, notifies us of any concerns, takes excellent care of our home, caters to our dogs special needs, and our anxious pup loves her! Thank you so much, Gabriana!”
“Liency was very kind. She listened to all of our dog/home needs and wrote them down with intentionality. Kept our home clean, and even left us some yummy homemade pumpkin bread for thanksgiving :'). Our dog is a senior rescue and it seems she was very cautious and intentional to make our dog feel safe and warm up to her naturally. She asked if we wanted and sent us photos regularly which I really loved.”
“Lindsey was fantastic with my 1 year old pup. My dog has a lot of energy and is very clingy and Lindsey showed so much concern and care for his well being. She took him on a ton of walks, played with him a bunch, and kept me updated throughout. I really appreciate how thorough and caring she is! She made sure to send me photos and videos, and kept me updated on his walks, how he slept, and his little quirks. My dog was so comfortable around her and was calm and tired upon me returning, so I can tell that Lindsey took exceptional care of him. I would recommend Lindsey wholeheartedly!”
“Ivy housesat with our 7 month old puppy, Maple, for a week while we were out of town for the holidays. She provided regular photo updates and was respectful of our home. Most importantly, Maple was safe, happy and healthy when we returned. I would happily re-book with Ivy and recommend her to others.”

Sara was awesome! She sent lots of pictures and updates throughout the stay, which gave us so much peace of mind. Our dog can be a little nervous with new people but he warmed up to her really quickly, and it was obvious he felt comfortable with her. So happy to have found someone we trust with our dog and would absolutely recommend her!

We are the obsessed dog owners with a senior dog - Soren - who’s really been struggling this year. Sarah is the only sitter we trust and she’s been flexible and supportive - plus gentle and thoughtful with Soren. We have meds, a strict schedule, and she’s diligent and dependable. She’s helped us have a bit more of a life again and we went on vacation - she handled him for a week and was communicative the whole time!
Gabriana is amazing! She stayed at our house for 9 days while we were on vacation, taking care of our dog Bertie who was recovering from knee surgery. Not only did she take exceptional care of him (some meds, dressing the would, etc) but our house was spotless when we got back!
Melissa watched our animals and house sat for us. I made some mistakes in both my initial date requests and in some of the arrangements. Melissa not only took good care of the animals but was flexible and patient with us. I couldn't have asked for more. Highly recommend!
Jessica took great care of our pups over the July 4th weekend. We were very nervous about fireworks, but she kept them, calm, safe, and having fun. She even went above and beyond when we needed two small house favors with deliveries. She’s very communicative, thoughtful, and sweet to our girls.
Nikki was amazing! She put my mind at ease the entire time I was away. I have an anxious pup (at times) and she did such a great job with him! My place looked spotless and perfect upon returning and my pup was happy and relaxed. Highly recommend Nikki and will hire her again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Los Angeles
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Los Angeles on Rover is $55.5 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 14,795 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 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 Angeles. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
