“I booked Anel last minute, and she was amazing!!!! She was so kind and spent so much time with my baby. She also listened to all instructions, even when I wanted to change some things last minute. Highly recommend!!”
“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”
“Eric did an amazing job looking after my 8 month kitten when I was going away for holiday for 2 weeks. I had travel logistics that made handing off the keys a little bit difficult, but Eric was super flexible and responsive which made the whole experience very smooth. He is great with cats and got along with Callie immediately. The home was in great condition when I came back as well. If you are looking for a responsible sitter for your pet, look no further than Eric! He even brought over some toys for her to play with that he let us keep afterwards. 100/100!”
About: I've always loved pets and have much experience pet sitting for friends and family. My mother takes in cats she finds around her area and neuter and stays them. I go over and help her when I can. She also owns 2 energetic huskies and I walk and play and groom them when I visit. My friends/neighbors around my complex trust me with their keys to feed their cats at their specific times and change their litter when they are out of town. And I am loving cat owner, unfortunately no dogs since one of my cats got so temperamental when I fostered one for a month. I'm currently working part-time remotely so I have nearly open availability to help, and assist fellow pet owners so they can work or travel with peace of mind. Although I am a pet owner I know that we all care/feed our pets differently. I make sure to follow any rules or guidelines owners mention to make sure your pet is taken care of the way you'd like.
“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!”
“Danielle was terrific! She was thorough and caring and easy to communicate with. She accommodated our last minute needs and we felt our cats were in good hands with her. Wouldn’t hesitate to hire her again.”
“Saige was absolutely wonderful with our pets. From the very first visit, she was kind, responsible, and incredibly attentive. She followed all instructions perfectly and took excellent care of our cats, including Kaito, who has special medical needs. We truly appreciated how well she documented each visit, it gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Our pets were clearly comfortable and happy with her, which means everything to us. We would 100% trust Saige again and would be more than happy to have her care for our pets in the future. Highly recommend!”
“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 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 came in clutch again for a last minute booking after I'd already left town. Even through a mix up with the keys (my fault) she kept her cool, communicated immediately, and rolled with the change in plans. Definitely recommended and will use again.”
“Teresa was excellent and took VERY good care of my pup. I'm very grateful for the excellent service Teresa provided and would recommend to anyone anytime! Thank you again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Los Angeles
ERIC IS THE BEST!! I am a huge animal lover and have pet sit on rover myself so I have pretty high expectations. From the very start, he was so accommodating with meeting with me to discuss our kittens routine/the plan. He took his own thorough notes and perfectly followed them!! He checked in regularly, and always sent a text before he arrived to our place. He even made sure to plan the final day check in so that when we got back, all the kittens needs were met/ reset so that we could relax after a late flight. I really could not say enough great things. We will absolutely ask him to pet sit for us again and you should to! 😊
Kasumi is truly wonderful! My cat and home were well looked after with no shortage of daily updates with plenty of pictures. Leaving my fur baby for a long time is always tough, but knowing Kasumi was there everyday to provide food, affection, litter changes, and kindness gave me the much needed security to enjoy my trip. Will 100% book again!
This was my 3rd time booking Sofia and every time has been a pleasure! She takes such good care of my sweet KJ, always leaves a summary of her visit with lots of photos of their time together:). I will continue to book with Sofia and would highly recommend her services to my friends and family.
Sabrina was absolutely amazing with our cat! It was our first time booking her and it was for two weeks, and she went above and beyond what we expected. It's the small things- from vacuuming around the litter box, to keeping us informed about the temperature in our home to make sure our cat was comfy- she was a pleasure to have over. 10000% would recommend to anyone looking for a cat sitter!
Genie is truly the best pet sitter we could ask for. She goes above and beyond every single time she cares for our cat, Bonez, and it gives us so much peace of mind whenever we're away. She's incredibly thoughtful, communicative, and attentive. She doesn't just make sure Bonez has everything she needs. She genuinely cares about her happiness and well-being. We always come home to a happy, relaxed cat, and it's obvious Bonez feels comfortable and safe with Genie. Genie is reliable, trustworthy, and treats our home and our pet with so much care. We feel incredibly lucky to have found her and couldn't recommend her more highly. Thank you, Genie, for always taking such amazing care of Bonez!

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 August 2026, there are 20,187 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.
