“Alexandrea took care of my two kitties while I was away for the weekend. It’s always so nerve wrecking when you let a stranger into your home, but Alexandrea made me and my kitties feel safe and comfortable. She was communicative and timely. Would rebook and recommend !”
“I honestly can’t rave enough about how kind, patient and caring she is with our wild boxer pup. This is the 2nd time we book her and we are so happy with the amount of updates she shared with us.”
“Súper professional and accommodating. Needed a sitter last minute for Mother’s Day and Josh went above and beyond. Very good about communicating updates. Handled giving my dog Vida her pill. & just all around a kind and caring guy! Definitely will book with him again.”
“Don is a gift to my Fellow. I have a spirited 2 year old Airedale, Fellow, and Don's updates and photos are so appreciated. I have rebooked with him several times and will continue. Thank you for taking such great care of Fellow!!”
“Jenny was absolutely amazing. She is very responsive, quick and reliable and she took amazing care of our home and, most importantly, little Lily. Lily can be very shy with humans but she loves Jenny and we would book her again anytime. Thank you so much!”
About: Animals have been a part of my life for years, and I genuinely enjoy caring for them and getting to know their individual personalities. I have 10 years of personal experience caring for dogs, including feeding, walking, playtime, maintaining routines, and providing lots of attention and companionship. From 2020–2023, I also regularly cared for my aunt’s service dog whenever she traveled out of town. That experience taught me how important it is to follow an owner’s instructions carefully and respect an animal’s established routine, especially when caring for a working dog. I also have experience with cats! I owned a cat for a year and spent about 10 months helping care for my roommate’s cat, so I’m comfortable with feeding, refreshing water, litter box care, playtime, and giving cats attention while also respecting when they want their own space. I know leaving your pet with someone else requires a lot of trust. My goal is to make sure every pet in my care feels safe, comfortable, loved, and as close to their normal routine as possible while their person is away. 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and I’m comfortable planning my day around their needs. As a college student, I have flexibility throughout the week for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and pet sitting. I’m also available on weekends and can coordinate care around each pet’s established schedule. I understand that pets thrive on consistency, so if your dog expects breakfast at 7 AM or your cat has decided dinner being five minutes late is a personal betrayal, I’ll do my best to keep their normal routine consistent! 🐾 When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their home, belongings, and pets with the same respect and care I would want someone to show mine. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications if applicable and clearly instructed, playtime, litter boxes, routines, and household rules. I make sure doors, gates, and windows are secure and pay close attention during walks and whenever entering or leaving the home. I never introduce new foods, treats, animals, or activities without the owner’s permission. I’m also happy to provide regular photo and message updates so pet parents can relax knowing their pet is safe, comfortable, and getting plenty of attention. 🐕🐈💕
“Hannah was great! She stayed in close communication, sent pics and I know my dog was perfectly happy in his normal routine while we were out of town. She went above and beyond in many ways!”
“Jacqueline was amazing while she house sat our two elderly dogs. Best of all, not only did she take care of our pups, but she kept our place clean. Constant updates and pictures. Highly recommend!”
“Super great with communication and flexibility. She was great with both my pups and left my house spotless. I will be booking again and I would highly recommend her”
“Cory watched my boys at my home for over a week. She was so good to them and kept me updated all week. She also took very good care of my home. I highly recommend her for any and all services!”
“Elizabeth did an amazing job with Lady Mae while staying at my apartment for the weekend. Was extremely communicative and followed all instructions. Was a pleasure to work with her and will definitely be requesting her services next time I’m out of town.”
“Yulia is a gem. She watched our dog over the holiday and provided us with plenty of pictures and videos throughout her stay. She is kind and very caring, taking our dog on multiple walks per day. Even when it was raining! She gave us the sense of security as we were out of the country. We came home to an incredibly happy, well taken pet and our home was spotless. Wish there was a rating for more stars!!! Thank you Yulia 💛”
“Sandy is so caring and attentive! My dog took to her so quickly which left my mind at ease after leaving him for the weekend. I will definitely be booking Sandy again in the future. Thank you for everything! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Karah is amazing, I highly recommend them! My dog was recently diagnosed with a spine issue and this is the first time I've left him with a sitter while he was having a flare up. Karah made me feel so comfortable, took excellent care of him, and was super communicative. Karah has such a calming, confident energy and it made my dog immediately at ease :)”
“Cheyenna did such a great job caring for our home and our kitties while we were away! She gave great updates and sent pictures daily, and you can tell that she genuinely cares about taking great care of the pets in her charge! We will absolutely be using her again in the future!”
About: Greetings! My name is Brian. I’m from Los Angeles, CA. I believe what sets me aside from other sitters and walkers. Is the engaging experience to learn each and unique different breed of dogs. Having said that I want to be able to provide a wonderful experience not only for the owner but along with there furry friend that there in good hands. At the end of it all I hope getting into the Rover team give the life opportunity to help establish a career in caring for all shape and sizes creatures in the world. Couldn’t have found a more better way to create and engage with our furry friends to let others know that we can help one another in anyways possible. Thanks!
About: I've taken care of my families dogs ever since elementary. There's no job to dirty or to difficult that I cannot handle. There is always a place in my heart for any animal, no matter how small or big they may be! Since I am a full-time student, there are days where I am off and have plenty of time to spend caring for any fur babies. I try to make any animals experience as calming and easy as I can make it. I believe in not using any negative reinforcement, anything is possible with treat (in moderation).
About: New York transplant who just moved to the greater L.A. area. I, along with the rest of my roommates, am a young professional and have always had an immense love of dogs. I live in a new, dog-friendly building with my girlfriend and another dog-owing couple in which the majority of the other residents are other young professionals who own dogs as well. There is ample space spread out between the building courtyard and the surrounding block to take the animals out to walk and play. We have a dedicated cabinet in the kitchen for dog treats and items. I primarily work on the computer from home, so Rover is the perfect opportunity for me to work with some new friends in a wide-open open environment.
“Sarah is, as always, wonderful. Even when my baby Dibbs isn't feeling his best, we have total confidence leaving him in Sarah's capable hands. She's a treasure.”
“Carolina has a very calm demeanor. My dogs are protective of our home and bark incessantly at strangers, but they stopped almost immediately when they sensed Carolina’s energy upon the first meeting. She was communicative and sent updates daily while we were away. I would hire her again.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Los Angeles Downtown is $63

I had a last minute trip and Matilda was able to fulfill our need for an in home sitter and meet up at the last minute. She was great at communicating and all three of my boys seemed to settle with her quickly, which was a good sign, as they have been a bit more stand offish with other sitters. I will definitely use her again!
Cory was the best cat sitter. She gave us amazing daily updates and took adorable photos for us. She left everything super clean, she understood all the directions for our cats care and made sure she didn’t get too lonely! Would absolutely use her again she’s the best
Sarah did a wonderful job dog sitting Archie! She took great care of him, made sure he got plenty of walks and attention, and left my home clean and tidy. I felt completely comfortable knowing Archie and my home were in such good hands. I would definitely recommend Sarah and would happily have her sit for Archie again!
Jenny is very kind and always great with communication from start! She was prompt and arrived at our set time, Our two dogs, cooper and nokko, was in great care with Jenny! She sent us photo updates and made sure medication/food was fed, we came home to very happy pups and would love to have Jenny again with us in the future definately!!
I can’t recommend Destiny enough! She took such amazing care of my dog Ronan while I was away for work and incredibly busy, which gave me real peace of mind. Communication was excellent, and I always felt confident that he was being well cared for. She also handled an unexpected and ill-timed leaky ceiling situation calmly and efficiently, going above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of while continuing to prioritize Ronan’s comfort and care. I’m so grateful for how dependable, thoughtful, and proactive they were. Ronan was in the best hands, and I would absolutely trust her to watch Ronan again!
Ashley is my doggies favorite person! We couldn’t have asked for a better person to take care of them! Ashley is incredibly attentive, responsible, and caring. She sent us photos and updates throughout the stay. She bring them to the outside as much as possible and played with them all the time. She took care of my doggies like her owns. She also followed our instructions carefully and paid attention to each dog’s needs and different styles of play. When we came home, our dogs were happy and well cared for. They were so sad for Ashley to leave, which says everything. We are honestly so grateful to have found someone we can trust. If you’re looking for a sitter who is dependable, communicative, loving, and genuinely cares, we absolutely recommend her. We would absolutely book with them again without hesitation!
Karen was a great sitter for my two year old pup!! She was very communicative and flexible, and I really appreciated that she was able to sit for a 5 night stretch on very short notice. Sent me pics and updates and I could tell my sometimes anxious pup was comfortable and happy around her. Thanks Karen! Will definitely book again!
My fiance and i always are apprehensive about leaving our senior dog alone. But Jehiny put our anxieties at ease from the jump. She was very attentive to our dog's needs and expressed genuine interest in details to make sure he was completely comfortable. It made me feel so at ease that he was in good hands. And when we came home our senior boy was so bright and bouncy and happy. Jehiny was very involved, very communicative, and very professional we really appreciated her housesitting for us. We'll def be reaching out in the future again.
Ly did an excellent job caring for my pups and my house! She was super flexible and provided updates and pictures while I was away. She is very caring and sweet with animals and you can tell has a very kind heart. I would highly recommend her if anyone is considering hiring her. I will absolutely hire her again in the future.
Jacqueline took great care of my two cats while I was out of the country for a month. She consistently sent me picture and video updates and even helped to take care of their excess dandruff. Would recommend if you are looking for someone to take longer term care of your pets.

FAQs for House Sitting - Los Angeles Downtown
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Los Angeles Downtown on Rover is $69.93 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 14,620 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Los Angeles Downtown. 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 Downtown 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 Downtown 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 Downtown 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.

- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
