“Jehiny was available pretty last minute and made me feel so safe and secure leaving my foster dog at home alone. She sent timely updates, shared pictures, and gave us some suggestions for some difficult situations we were having with the foster. I will definitely be booking with her again!”
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.
“Don is very responsive and dependable. It was our first time leaving our dog with someone else without either of us there . Everything was well tended to, including our two cats. Would definitely recommend.”
“Alexandrea took great care of our special needs puppy. She sent updates and photos through the day and it was a big piece of mind to know she was in good hands with such a reliable and trustworthy sitter.”
“Gabriana was so sweet and thoughtful with our anxious pup! She was punctual and very communicative. Looking forward to having her take care of our pup again.”
“Elizabeth was amazing with our anxious pup, Maple. She was warm, kind, and attentive, and put our minds at ease while we were away for 24 hours on the 4th of July! We are so grateful that Elizabeth swooped in to help us out on one of the busiest and most stressful days for pup owners, and could not recommend her enough!! ♥️”
“Fantastic experience. I think Lisa took even better care of our dogs than we do. Followed all instructions, very responsive including great photos, respectful of the house, terrific in every way. Highly recommended and would gladly have her back any and every time we’re out of town and can’t take the guys with us.”
“The best dog house sitter I’ve had so far. Very communicative, pictures and videos during every walk. Kept my pup entertained. Adding to my favorites.”
“Carley is fantastic! She was communicative the whole time and really made an effort to connect with our pets. I will definitely reach out to her again in the future.”
“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!”
“Lauren was a wonderful and caring sitter for our two dogs, Peaches and Bluey. We appreciated Lauren's comfort with both senior dogs and young bloods as our dogs are on either end of the spectrum. If you're looking for someone you can trust, Lauren's great!”
About: I am a responsible, loving and committed person to the well-being of each pet. For me, dogs are not just animals, they are part of the family, and that's why I treat them with patience, respect and a lot of love. I differentiate myself by providing personalized attention, understanding the personality of each dog and making sure that each walk is a safe, fun and energetic experience. I like to create trust with both pets and their owners, keeping them calm knowing that their partner is in good hands. My priority is that every dog receives the care, exercise and affection it needs while its owners are not available. I have a job that allows me to have time to take advantage as on this occasion and enjoy the animals and make some extra money I have the confidence and love to deal with pets The Client's house would be the place to take care of and be able to walk the dogs. I don't have the space at home yet to be able to take care of them from home
About: I’ve always been an animal lover, and have been lucky to live with pets for the majority of my life. In the past few years I’ve had the opportunity to dog sit for a lot of folks in my neighborhood, and have taken care of dogs small and big! I love trotting around town with a pup! :’) I work remotely and have a flexible work schedule, so I’m able to easily work pet care into my daily routine. I have a car, so I’m able to get around! I am very attentive to your pup, and make sure to stay vigilant while guiding your dog on a walk - especially around the busy city!
“Karen was awesome! She was available super last minute for an overnight stay with my picky pitbull. Despite the short notice, she was able to find time to come meet Clementine before I headed out of town. She was kind and considerate, and I would definitely look to her again for future bookings.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Los Angeles is $63
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Los Angeles
Jessica took excellent, loving care of our dog and cat while we were out of the country for a week. She took many pics and shared frequent updates with us, and put our minds and hearts at rest that they were being taken care of wonderfully. Our worry now is that our dog and cat will miss her too much! We will not hesitate to recommend her services and call on her again. Thank you, Jessica!
Our first time booking Nico was a dream. He was super communicative and did everything to make sure we knew our big, fun husky Bruce was in good hands while we were away for a long weekend. He did a great job cleaning the apartment and gave us updates about anything important. We’ll definitely be booking Nico again!
Stephanie took great care of my 2 dogs while I was away for a couple of days! I was a little worried about Burrito because he is very skittish around new people. He eventually warmed up to Stephanie and was able to relax. She kept me updated with pictures and videos. I would definitely have her sit for me again! 😀
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!

FAQs for House Sitting - Los Angeles
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Los Angeles on Rover is $62.16 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 14,521 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.
