“We could not have had a better experience with Rooney!!!! They were instantly so warm and sweet with our pup and she was so happy to see them when we left on our trip. Rooney was super communicative and responsive & sent us the best updates while we were away. A million stars!”
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.
“We had Lauren over to watch our girl for the weekend- she was amazing! Stayed over and kept our pup company, left the house tidy, and sent updates throughout! Would absolutely recommend and will be using her again in the future ☺️”
“Sarah was great. She was patient and knowledgeable about dogs. Although our dog did not let himself be walked to use bathroom, she was patient and tried different strategies to get him to go out. She was kind enough to bring pee pads with her Incase he couldn’t hold until we got home.”
“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!”

“Rose was great. We needed last minute dog sitting. She had quick and great communication throughout the day. Followed all instructions for our pup and even sent pics :) would recommend and use again :)”
“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 !”
“Rebekah was so great! My cat got sick while I was away, and Rebekah was very responsible, communicative, proactive, and generous regarding cleanup and monitoring my cat. I highly recommend.”
“The first time you leave your dog can be a little intimidating but luckily someone like Maegan not only made going away for the day stress free and as easy as can be but we know Huey (our pup) had an amazing time with her. Booking her again right away. Thanks Maegan!”
“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”

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.
Natalie was great with my two dogs! She was very communicative and would check in frequently with updates and pictures. My dogs warmed up to her quickly and seems like they had a great weekend with her! I’ll definitely be asking Natalie back to watch my dogs whenever I’m out of town, would recommend her to any dog parent looking for a sitter!
Stephanie took great care of my 2 dogs while I was away for a couple of days! I was a little worried about Burrito because he is very skittish around new people. He eventually warmed up to Stephanie and was able to relax. She kept me updated with pictures and videos. I would definitely have her sit for me again! 😀
Ilyanna was absolutely fantastic and the care she provided for our very nervous poodle was just awesome. We could tell from all the wonderful pictures she sent that he was so happy and chilled with her. It really allowed us to relax and enjoy our break. Oskar definitely wants to return!!
Sara was awesome! She sent lots of pictures and updates throughout the stay, which gave us so much peace of mind. Our dog can be a little nervous with new people but he warmed up to her really quickly, and it was obvious he felt comfortable with her. So happy to have found someone we trust with our dog and would absolutely recommend her!
We are the obsessed dog owners with a senior dog - Soren - who’s really been struggling this year. Sarah is the only sitter we trust and she’s been flexible and supportive - plus gentle and thoughtful with Soren. We have meds, a strict schedule, and she’s diligent and dependable. She’s helped us have a bit more of a life again and we went on vacation - she handled him for a week and was communicative the whole time!

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 $70.89 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 14,515 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.
