About: I have loved animals my whole life. I have dog sat multiple times and have lots of experience training and playing with my own dogs! I am available mornings - late afternoon all weekdays. I am currently a music student on summer break so my schedule is very open. I spent the rest of my day practicing, so I can take last minute requests. I love walking dogs, and I am used to dogs that pull/lunge and I am capable of keeping them safe regardless of leash manners. I also love playing fetch or any game that can be played in a fenced in yard.
“Sabrina is super sweet! And even though she wasn’t available the whole time her husband was able to help watch my pup. They handled everything amazingly and I’ll definitely be booking with them again when I go out of town so that I know my dog is in good hands!!”
“Abel was very good with communication and my dogs felt very safe with her. I was in a pinch and she stepped on and watched my babies while o was away and she took great care of them. I would for sure book again.”
“Candie is the BEST cat sitter!! She sent so many pictures and videos, and really spent time playing with my cat which I so appreciated! I highly, highly recommend her!”
About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life, and I’ve been caring for them for many years. I have my own pug, so I understand the importance of keeping pets safe, comfortable, and happy while their owners are away. I treat every dog like my own, paying close attention to their routine, personality, and needs. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping them company, I make sure they receive plenty of care, patience, and affection. My goal is to give every pet a calm, stress-free experience and every owner complete peace of mind. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable pet care throughout the week. Because my work hours are flexible, I can often accommodate morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend bookings. I always make sure each pet gets the time, attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve, and I’m happy to follow your pet’s regular routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, and daily routines. I create a calm, clean, and stress-free environment where pets can feel secure. During walks I stay alert, avoid unsafe situations, and always keep dogs safely leashed unless instructed otherwise. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you know your pet is happy and well cared for.
“I'm so glad we found Minay!! She is such a gem of a person and has such a lovely warmth about her. My dogs and the rest of my family clicked instantly with her. She goes above and beyond, you can completely trust that your loved ones are in great hands.”
“Daniele is my favorite cat sitter! My cats absolutely love her and she always goes above and beyond. She is very clear at communicating when she will visit with them and sends tons of pictures!”
About: I have experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, from young puppies and kittens to senior pets. I'm comfortable with daily pet care responsibilities, including feeding, cleaning up after pets, maintaining a safe and sanitary environment, administering oral medications and flea treatments, and providing plenty of attention and companionship. What sets me apart is my hands-on experience with a wide variety of pets and situations. I've even assisted pregnant dogs and cats during labor and birth, which has taught me to stay calm, attentive, and responsive when animals need extra care. I'm also always eager to learn and expand my experience with other types of animals. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while giving pet owners peace of mind. I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of time to dedicate to pet care and ensure pets receive the attention they deserve. I have a flexible schedule and can often accommodate a variety of care needs, including walks, and drop-in visits. I'm also available on weekends, making it easier to provide care when many pet owners need it most. I do my best to work with each pet owner's schedule and provide reliable, consistent care. At this time, I am unable to host pets in my apartment, but I have experience caring for friends' and family members' pets in their own homes. When caring for pets, I make it a priority to maintain a clean, safe, and comfortable environment where they can relax, play, and feel secure. I carefully follow each pet owner's instructions regarding feeding, medication, exercise, and daily routines to help pets feel as comfortable as possible while their owners are away. I treat every home with respect and every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they receive attentive care, companionship, and a safe environment at all times.
“Sofia was amazing. Built a connection with Kali almost immediately and kept her happy and healthy while I was away for the holidays. Daily photos andWill definitely ask her back the next time I'm away.”
“Wanyao did an amazing job taking care of my cat Juju! She was very attentive, kept the house clean, and sent wonderful photo updates that gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Juju was super happy and well cared for. I would absolutely book with Wanyao again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful sitter.”
About: I have many years of experience taking care of pets including dogs, cats, and small animals. My experienced care can consist of daily walks and feeding to caring for senior pets that need extra attention. I've been trusted with pets because I'm reliable and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I'll make sure you're constantly updated on how your pets are doing with lots of pictures,videos and activity reports. I focus on giving each pet the right mix of care, exercise and attention they need. If you're looking for someone dependable to look after your pet, I'd be happy to help. I have flexible availability to fit your pet care needs. I'm fully available on weekends and after 5pm on weekdays. Since I work from home during the day, this allows me to be responsive and reliable when caring for your pet at your home. I have no problems adapting my time to whatever schedule that your pet would require. For longer pet-sitting periods, I can adjust my schedule with advance notice. I provide attentive in home pet care focused on your pet's safety and comfort. I take time to build rapport with your pets throughout my stay. Please rest assured that your home and pets will be in capable, trustworthy hands while you're away.
About: I have had dogs and cats my entire life and have taken care of many friend and family dogs and cats. I generally love to spend time with dogs and cats. I love to give them attention, cuddles, and of course belly rubs. I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time to take care of your fur babies. I can house sit anytime between Thursday and Monday. I can walk and check in on your fur baby as many times as needed. I will follow any house rules and general rules you have for your fur baby. I will give your pet all the attention they require and keep them to their routines and habits. You can trust that your pet will be well taken care of while you are away.
“Karolina was great! She took good care of my senior dog while I was on vacation. It was my first experience using rover and the fires in the area added another level of anxiety. Thankfully she put me at ease with the constant feedback.”
About: I've been surrounded by pets my entire 27 years of life and owned my own for the last 20. I had one beloved dog for 18 years and my current son is 6 years old. My love is not limited to cats and dogs! I am currently openly available anytime of the week, any day. I would just need time to take care of my own baby while I take care of yours. I am vigilant with food and substances that dogs may confuse for snacks. I tend to notice differences in behavior and details that are cause for concern quick. My current home does have one dog. Friendly with others but needs time to trust so most sitting will have to be linited to your home or walks.
About: I was born into a home that deeply valued the companionship of terrier dogs like Airedales and Welsh Terriers. For my entire life, I've been around dogs in my home, and at the majority of my friends' homes, learning the quirks of every breed from Australian Labradoodles to Frenchies. No dog or cat is too small or too large, my heart knows no limits. I have experience with senior dogs as well, as my sister has adopted several over the past 10 years. I can clean up any mess and I have the stamina to run up any hill or jog any trail with our beloved canines! I am currently the proud parent of two brother cats, Ghost and Banshee--they light up my world and my wife and I spoil them every day. Lastly, I will make sure you are comfortable and adequately updated during each and every one of our experiences. You can always trust that your pet(s) is/are in good hands. Communication is paramount in my book (I relish the texts and photos that my cat sitters send my way while traveling)--I know how important transparency is. I'd love to hear from you and can't wait to meet my new friend(s)! I am flexible and free for any and all pet care duties. I feed my own two cats twice a day, a very regal raw meat diet. I keep their water fresh and clean their litter box three times a day, minimum. I am proactive and intuitive in anticipating the needs of the cats and dogs in my care. I go above and beyond to make sure their every need is met. I have the utmost respect for running a clean ship and will always take care when inside client homes/pet areas. I meet your pets at their level, in their own spaces, with a friendly nature and open intuitiveness.
“Brian is an awesome sitter for our kitties and doggo. We've done drop ins for our kitties and boarding for our pup. He keeps us updated with messages and photos, and all our fur babies love him! Him and his gf have been very accommodating and communicative for arranging services. He'll be our go-to Rover whenever he's available :) Thank you, Brian!”

Steph was amazing - I just moved to LA and needed a new sitter to visit my sweet kitty while away on a work trip and I was so happy with all of her support. She was communicative, accountable and great with sharing updates and photos as well. I’ll def be rebooking with Steph!
Let me start by saying that if you’re looking for a kind, empathetic, calm, patient, and compassionate caregiver for your pet, Eric is your guy. He was exactly what my cat and I needed today. I have a very skittish and scared foster cat who I needed help with and truth be told, I wasn’t sure how Eric would be with her. She’s sick and needed to go to the vet but is hard to handle getting into a carrier. Eric arrived on time, with a lot of calm and soothing energy and approached my cat with the utmost love and concern. And she did not make things easy; she put up quite a fight but Eric was never mean, was never impatient, and exudeded kindness and gentleness the whole time. Moving forward, I will enlist Eric’s help EACH AND EVERY TIME FOR ALL MY PETS.
I’ve been working with Jenny for a long while. I feel completely confident leaving my cats in her care. She’s prompt, super communicative and leaves robust updates of the cats each day along with a lot of pics! It makes our time out of town all the more enjoyable knowing the cats are in such good hands. ❤️❤️❤️
I’m so glad we found Daniele to take care of our two cats while we were away. From the very beginning she was very communicative and flexible. The meet and greet went very well, and she was really attentive to the boys, and taking notes as I showed her around. While we were gone she took excellent care of them during her drop ins, and made sure to send tons of photos which we really appreciated. We even had to extend her visits by a day due to a flight change and she was very understanding and flexible. Coming home, everything was spotless and odorless, she really took care of everything. So so grateful and will definitely be reaching out to her first every time, and so should you.
This was my first time using Rover and Nico made sure to make it the most seamless introduction possible. I booked him last minute with my wife in labor and he stepped in and gave the most outstanding care to my Cavapoo and took such great care of him. He provided many updates and followed every request on the instructions. To find such great help in a time of need was amazing. Nico is very personable as well and I look forward to using him as a sitter for Brownie in the future!!
The best for our kitty. Thank you Minay for always being so thorough and loving with our kitty. We always appreciate all her photos and detailed notes about how well she cared for our kitty. Best communication and we’re just so grateful to have her on our team. THANK YOU
Sarah and David were amazing! This is my second time booking with them, and I can't recommend them enough. They were excellent communicators, followed my care instructions perfectly, and took the cutest photos of my cat. I always feel at ease knowing my cat is in such great hands!
Found Malia after my existing sitter moved away. I’m super-pleased with how everything went. Malia is conscientious, reliable, and responsive. She is a pleasure to interact with and most importantly, she took excellent care of my little treasure, Buster. I will be booking her again without hesitation.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Los Angeles on Rover is $25.53 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 20,670 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Los Angeles. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Los Angeles stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Los Angeles. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% 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.
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.
