About: **IMPORTANT NOTE FOR DAYCARE: YOUR DOG MUST BE DOG-FRIENDLY & GENTLE WITH SMALL DOGS SINCE I HAVE A 16lb WIENER DOG AT HOME** I’ve had 2x dogs in my life. My 1st love was a senior labrador named Dino who passed in the summer of 2021 at age 14. I took care of him during the last 2 years of his life. Needless to say, I definitely have the know-how to take care of a senior dog (but they will forever be puppies in my eyes!) :’) My 2nd/current love is my first puppy born on October 31, 2021 aka my “halloweenie.” She’s a spunky, stubborn, social and very intelligent dachshund named Fizzgig (shouts out to my "The Dark Crystal" fans). I got her when she was 2 months old. We've been inseparable ever since. I am her full time caretaker/mother so puppy experience is something I definitely have down as well. I am usually home all day and available throughout the week since I don’t have a full time job. My full time jobs are my self employment gigs (like this one). I live in a cozy 425 sq ft studio with a long patch of grass conveniently behind my apartment - a rare find in the city near DTLA. I am admittedly somewhat OCD which positively lends itself to the following: -Baby gate blocking the kitchen -All electrical wires out of reach -Healthy, homemade meals only (ground beef or lamb mixed with The Honest Kitchen’s human-grade grain-free kibble) -Purified iced water only -No unhealthy snacks. Greenies, smart bones, annd himalayan cheese are our main snacks in this household, with the occasional special treat (e.g. beef jerky sticks or elk antlers) for being a good boy or girl. -House is very clean and floors are vacuumed weekly or after I have watched someone else’s dog at my home
“We had a wonderful experience with Brianni. She was very communicative with me and Wilbur’s needs. She followed directions and Wilbur loved playing with her. Was a pleasure to come home to a crated sleeping puppy with no issues.”
“Chelsea was fantastic! She arrived right on time and took care of everything I asked for — my cats were happy, well-fed, and clearly enjoyed her company. She's incredibly patient and gentle with them, and I could tell they really liked her. I felt completely at ease leaving them in her care. Highly recommend Chelsea to any cat parent!”
“I can’t say enough good things about Sabrina! She truly went above and beyond for my pups and made me feel like I could relax on my vacation knowing they were in such good hands. I highly recommend her!”
“Thanks for looking after my boy Sofia - I felt like he was in incredibly good hands with you! I know he’s made a friend these last 2 weeks! Thank you for you clear communication and fun updates - I really appreciated them while I was out of town.”
“Such an amazing dog watcher/sitter. She literally complemented my pets and took the best photos of them. She’s literally so amazing and just the sweetest ever my dog got really excited to see her and she took care of him with food, a long walk and love. Also she sent me photo/text updates every single time seriously could not have asked for a better person to watch my baby. Thank you Carley!!! I’ll be a repeat client for life!”
About: I've been around cats and dogs my entire life, so being around animals has always felt natural to me. Although I'm new to professional pet sitting, I've had opportunities throughout my life to look after dogs for a few hours at a time. I enjoy spending time with animals, giving them attention, playing with them, and making sure they're comfortable and cared for. I'm excited to turn my lifelong love for animals into an opportunity to provide dependable, loving care for other people's pets. Although I don't currently have pets of my own, caring for animals is something I'd genuinely enjoy making part of my daily routine. I'd love the opportunity to spend time with cats and dogs, whether that means going on walks, playing, providing companionship, or making sure they're comfortable and well cared for while their owners are away. I'm prepared to plan my schedule around agreed-upon visits and care responsibilities so that each pet receives the time and attention it deserves. My priority is to make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. In a client's home, I'd follow the owner's instructions regarding feeding, walking, playtime, and any specific routines or needs their pet may have. I'd keep a close eye on pets during walks and playtime, use leashes and other safety equipment as instructed, and make sure doors and gates are secure. I believe communication and trust are essential, so I'd keep owners updated and let them know if I noticed anything unusual. Whether we're going for a walk, playing, or simply spending time together, I'd treat each pet with patience, kindness, and respect while being mindful of the owner's home and rules.
About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was a teenager and currently have a Border Collie and a Russian Blue cat of my own. I’m experienced with both dogs and cats and understand that every pet has a different personality and routine. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, basic grooming, and giving pets plenty of attention and companionship. I’ll treat your pets with the same care and patience I give my own. I have a flexible schedule and can dedicate plenty of time to caring for your pets. I’m available throughout the week for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I’m also happy to work with your pet’s normal routine and schedule whenever possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, and daily routines. I always keep dogs securely leashed outside and pay close attention to their behavior and surroundings. I’m patient with pets and will make sure they receive plenty of attention, playtime, and care while you’re away.
About: I have a difficult dog, so I understand when people leave a thousand different instructions for how their pet needs to be communicated with or walked. Reactive? I get it. Takes some time to get to know you? Totally. Needs a song to tinkle? I’m your gal. I’m currently working part time, and I’m working on obtaining a masters degree, so I have a flexible schedule. I take care of my dog’s walking needs in the morning and afternoon, but she’s also flexible with her schedule, which makes it a little easier. This is not applicable to my services, but I promise I will enter your home with respect, follow all instructions you lay out, and will be communicative. I will be working within the community I live in and would like everyone to be happy with my services.
“Dominique was really great! Our cats have very different personalities and levels of shyness, and she was able to make sure they both got what they needed while we were out of town. She was super responsive and her updates and pictures were always the highlight of our mornings. I would really recommend Dominique!”
About: Years with my own dog taught me that dogs have a few universal talents: finding the muddiest puddle, convincing you they haven’t eaten in days five minutes after dinner, and making every walk an adventure. Volunteering at a shelter reminded me that behind all those funny moments is something even more important—every dog wants to feel safe, understood, and loved. I’ve become pretty fluent in “dog language.” 🐶 That’s why I take the time to get to know each dog’s personality and earn their trust. I think it’s the best part of spending time with them. My skills: * Understanding dog behavior and body language * Building trust with dogs of different personalities * Patient and gentle handling * Caring for dogs of different ages and temperaments * Following detailed care instructions * Providing companionship, play, and attention My schedule allows me to dedicate plenty of time to walks, playtime, and giving each dog the individual attention they need. I understand that dogs feel happiest and most comfortable when they can keep their familiar routine. I do my best to create a calm, safe, and consistent environment that feels as close to home as possible while their family is away. I work full-time, seven days a week, so I’m available to provide reliable and consistent care for your pets whenever you need it. Before caring for your pet, I like to learn the little details that make them unique — their favorite activities, walking habits, how they communicate, and what helps them feel comfortable. During each walk, visit, or house sitting stay, I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy your time away knowing how your furry friend is doing. My goal is simple: for your dog to feel like they’re spending time with someone they trust!
About: I have 11 years of experience caring for my dog and truly enjoy spending time with dogs. I’m comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities, sizes, and needs, and I always strive to provide a safe, loving, and fun environment. Your dog’s comfort, happiness, and well-being are my top priorities! I am mainly available on weekends for drop-in visits and dog walks. On certain days during the week I am also available for drop-ins and walks. When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I make sure to follow their usual routines for feeding, walks, playtime, and any special care they need. I provide plenty of love, attention, and companionship while keeping them safe and comfortable in their familiar environment. I also keep their space clean, follow the owner’s instructions carefully, and send regular updates/photos so owners can feel confident their pets are happy and well cared for.
About: I grew up with cats and dogs! I have experience with kittens and puppies, as well as our rescue senior dog. I have occasionally used tricks to get pets to take medication, and I am no stranger to moody pets. I also have experience with pets recovering from various medical procedures ranging from teeth removal to major surgeries. I recently moved to the city! I’m not planning to get a strict scheduled job and prefer the flexibility Rover has to offer, so my schedule is very open. I do not have any personal equipment for handling pets at the moment, so anything needed for the care of the pet must be provided by the client. I am very happy to walk, feed, play with, and just simply spend time with your pets whenever needed! So long as all the necessary care items are provided for me, I can do it!

My goal is to make sure your pet feels at home, no matter where they are, with plenty of love and attention along the way!
“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!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Los Angeles
Genie is truly the best! She always takes such incredible care of my kitty, but this past visit she went above and beyond. My cat had an accident on my bed, and Genie not only let me know right away, but took it upon herself to strip my bed and wash all my bedding. She even went back twice in one day just to switch over the laundry! She is so thoughtful, considerate, and genuinely cares about my kitty. By far the best cat sitter I’ve ever had, and I couldn’t recommend her more!
Yasmin was so sweet with my dog and I knew he was safe and in good hands! Yasmin was super communicative and kept me updated throughout. She also sent glamorous photos of him on his walk that put a smile on my face! I will definitely ask Yasmin to pet sit again!
Lindsey is extremely communicative and helped me feel so at ease while I was away from my pets. She cared for my 3 cats for a weekend, and was sure to send pictures every day, let me know when she would be arriving and leaving, and went above and beyond for us. I will definitely be hiring again.
We’ve known Minay for about two years now, and she’s always been amazing! She took such great care of Mochi while we were in out of town and kept us updated with detailed messages and great communication throughout our trip. It’s such a relief knowing Mochi is in good hands whenever we’re away. We completely trust her and truly appreciate the care and attention she gives him. Highly recommend!
Wanyao was great! She was very responsible and followed caring instructions carefully. She also sent me photos and updates to make sure my cat was doing well. My cat is usually very shy around new people, but by the third day, she started playing with Wanyao :). I really appreciate her patience and care. Would definitely book with her again!
Ella took wonderful care of my two cats, and I’m so grateful for her help. She made the experience feel easy and reassuring, and I felt comfortable knowing my cats were in good hands. I’d happily recommend Ella to anyone looking for someone caring to look after their pets!
Daniele was great and took good care of my two kitties. They had fun playing with her and she made sure their litter box (and surrounding area) was clean, and cleaned up after one of them had an accident. Really appreciate her help and attention to my two cats!
Nicholas was sooo great with my cat Django. He sent so many pictures and gave me so much peace of mind. I had an initial meet & greet with him to show him the ropes and he was so attentive and you could really tell cares about animals. He was on time, sent rover cards, played with my fur baby and just a very responsible caretaker. I def recommend using nicholas for your rover needs!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Los Angeles is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $39 per visit. On Rover, 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 November 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 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:
- 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
