About: I have over 10 years of hands on experience caring for animals including dogs, cats, and farm animals. I’ve cared for my own pets as well as pets belonging to family, friends, and neighbors, and I’m comfortable with animals of different sizes, personalities, and temperament. I also have firsthand experience caring for young puppies after my own dog had a litter, which taught me how much attention, patience, and care younger animals can require. What sets me apart is that I’m patient, attentive, and take the responsibility of caring for someone else’s pet seriously. I pay close attention to each animals behavior and wellbeing, follow the owners care instructions, and make sure their pet feels safe and comfortable. I’m also happy to provide regular updates so owners can have peace of mind while their pet is in my care. I’m currently a part-time student, so my schedule varies throughout the week, but I have plenty of flexibility to provide attentive and reliable pet care. I’m available for house sitting Friday–Sunday and for dog walks and drop-in visits Monday–Thursday. My hours may vary depending on the day, but I’ll always make sure I can accommodate your pet’s needs and routine before accepting a booking. For house sitting, I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine and any care instructions you provide to help them stay comfortable while you’re away. I’ll make sure they have fresh food and water, regular potty breaks, playtime and attention, and a clean and safe environment. I’ll also respect your home and make sure doors, gates, and other areas are properly secured. For dog walks, I’ll keep your dog safely leashed and pay close attention to our surroundings throughout the walk. I’ll follow any instructions you provide regarding their usual route, behavior around other dogs or people, and anything else I should be aware of to keep them safe and comfortable. For drop-in visits, I’ll check on your pet and take care of their needs according to your instructions, including feeding, refreshing their water, potty breaks, cleaning up after them, and giving them attention and playtime. I’ll also keep you updated on how your pet is doing so you can have peace of mind while they’re in my care.

“Dominique did such an amazing job looking over my boys while I was home for the holiday. She sent lots of pictures and gave them lots of love. She even won over my more skeptical cat who typically just hides the whole time i’m gone somewhere. Very thankful for her care and the peace of mind it gave me while being so far away from them. Thank you Dominique!!!”

Wanyao and Ollie bonded on day 1! Wanyao gave him lots of love and play time. She sent fabulous photos and videos each visit. I will definitely request her services again.”

About: With 22 years of hands-on experience caring for and training dogs, I provide more than just boarding. I provide a safe, loving home where your pup is treated like family. I’ve always believed we have a responsibility to care for the ones who love us more than they love themselves. Dogs have been a huge part of my life, and I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs. I offer a balance of love, patience, structure, and plenty of attention. I’m experienced with purposeful walks, crate training, housebreaking/potty training, basic structure, and maintaining the routines you’ve already established at home. Whether your dog is energetic and needs activity, thrives with structure, or simply wants a comfortable place to relax and feel loved, I adjust my care to them. Most importantly, I want you to have peace of mind while you’re away. Your pup will be safe, cared for, loved, and treated like one of my own from the moment they arrive until they’re back home with you. 🐾 I work part time. Luckily still from The comfort of my home for the next year! Great space and comfortable safe living. Good area for nice walks no traffic. Close to small secluded park as well as dog park. Surrounded with a community of dog friendly friends and neighbors. I currently work part-time and, luckily, I’ll be working from the comfort of my home for the next year. Which means your pup will have plenty of attention, companionship, and supervision throughout the day. My home offers a comfortable, safe, and relaxed environment with plenty of space for your dog to feel at home. I’m in a quiet, low-traffic neighborhood that’s perfect for peaceful daily walks, with a small secluded park nearby as well as access to a local dog park. We’re also surrounded by a great community of dog-loving friends and neighbors, so it’s truly a welcoming, pet-friendly environment. Whether your pup loves getting outside for walks and playtime or prefers relaxing comfortably at home, they’ll have a safe place to settle in and enjoy their stay. 🐾

About: I’ve always loved animals and enjoy giving pets plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. I’m responsible, dependable, and comfortable following each pet’s routine, whether that means walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping them company. I’ll treat your pet with the same care and attention I’d want for my own. I work from home so my schedule is pretty flexible so I’m available most days for walks. I can provide plenty of attention and companionship and playtime for your fur babies :) I will make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and any special requests

About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is my extensive experience and passion for pets. Having grown up with pets my whole life, I have a deep understanding of their needs and unique personalities. Moreover, my experience volunteering at a doggy daycare has given me a professional edge, allowing me to handle pets of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments with ease. My genuine love for animals shines through in everything I do, making my services truly exceptional. My clients can rest assured that their furry family members will be in capable and caring hands when they choose me as their pet sitter. Pet sitting will fit perfectly into my daily life as I have a dog myself who walks twice a day. I currently do not work from home, but I work 6 hours in the morning and 3 hours in the late evening. I’m usually home in the afternoon to spend quality time with all of my furry friends. As a pet sitter, I prioritize the safety and wellbeing of the pets in my care. I have a secure and pet-friendly home environment, free of any hazards. I will supervise pets during playtime and ensure they are properly fed and hydrated. I have a clear understanding of pet behavior and will provide appropriate exercise and enrichment activities to keep them happy and healthy. I will also follow any specific instructions provided by the pet owners, such as administering medication or special diets.

About: I’ve been a long term Wiener dog mom for 20 years now. So, I can say I’m a connoisseur of little dogs with big attitudes. I specialize in senior pup care as my last 2 doxies lived fulfilled lives to almost 15 and 17 years old. In the past, I was an avid Rover customer utilizing their boarding and walking services. Now that both of my pups have passed on, I want to share my love for dogs by taking care of yours- before I explore the option of getting another. I’m a property manager that works from home. So, I have lots of free time for walks and play. I know all the best DTLA dog spots as I’m a Los Angeles native. I have history of administering medication and history with pets with disabilities. At Your Service I work from home Monday - Friday and home weekends. I am the property manager for the community I live in, so I’m free for frequent walks and outings. My community is gated access with 24 hour concierge service. I can also be found in the leasing office during the week. If out on a walk, our doorman will direct you to the lobby.

This was one of the most heartbreaking times of my life, for me and for my 14-year-old dog, Sophie. Just two weeks earlier, Sophie lost her twin sister. From the day they were born, they had never been apart, not even for a single day. While we were both still grieving, I had to leave for a business trip. For the first time in her life, Sophie would be completely alone. I booked drop-in visits three times a day and hoped she would be okay. On the third day, I asked Dani how Sophie was doing. Dani didn’t hide anything. She told me Sophie had been crying all day, so loudly that she could hear her from the hallway. My heart broke. Then, without hesitating, Dani offered to bring Sophie to her own home that same day. I was worried, because Sophie had never been boarded before. But at Dani’s home, something beautiful happened. Sophie made a new friend, and for the first time since losing her sister, she seemed relieved and happy again. Most sitters would simply say, “Your dog is doing fine,” so the owner won’t worry. Dani told me the truth, even though it was hard to hear, and then she did something about it. That honesty and kindness meant everything to me. Dani is genuine, and she truly cares about every dog she looks after. I don’t usually write reviews, but I couldn’t stay quiet about this. Dani, thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking care of Sophie when she needed it most. I will never forget it.

Linsey was incredibly sweet, caring, and attentive with my dog, Serah! She arrived on time and went the extra mile to be there for her, and I truly appreciated the kindness and care she showed. Finding someone you can trust with your dog means so much, and Linsey gave me peace of mind knowing Serah was in good hands. Her communication was excellent throughout the experience, making everything easy and reassuring. I appreciated her reliability and her willingness to go above and beyond. Serah is such an important part of my life, so having someone treat her with patience and affection meant a lot to me. I highly recommend Linsey to anyone looking for a dependable, compassionate, and attentive dog sitter. I would happily trust her with Serah again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Los Angeles on Rover is $26 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $42 per visit. 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 October 2026, there are 20,318 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Los Angeles. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

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 .

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.

  • 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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 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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
