“Audrey was great! Very responsible and communicative the whole time watching my dog! It was great to have a peace of mind with her being proactive on communication and following the rules of how to care for my dog. 10/10 and will be using her again!”
“Scarlett was fantastic. Showed up on time and took care of both of our dogs over our wedding weekend. She used to be a vet tech, so very knowledgeable about dogs, and did amazing with both dogs. We have a blue Heeler and a golden doodle, so very different dogs. Super respectful of our place, would for sure hire her again.”
About: I have had dogs my whole life both big and small. I am currently a dog groomer of 5 years, starting my own business soon! I have been dog sitting for about 6 years on and off through rover also worked at a doggy daycare for a bit! I’m currently working part time and also not in school at the moment so I have lots of spare time on my hands to play with your pup! I have a fenced yard and a park very close nearby. I skateboard which is great experience for the both of us! I have 2 dog friendly dogs of my own who loves making new playmates!
“I had an absolutely wonderful experience with our Rachel! She was exceptional from start to finish—caring, responsible, communicative, and clearly loves dogs. I felt completely comfortable knowing my dog was in such good hands. She kept me updated, sent pictures, and treated my dog like one of her own. It was such a relief to know he was happy, safe, and well cared for while I was away. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, loving, and dependable dog sitter. I will definitely be booking with her again!”
About: I have 10+ years experience of loving and caring for dogs in varies sizes and breeds! I find peace in taking care of 4 legged fur babies! I’m a recent graduate from Washington DC who just moved back to Los Angeles! I’m saving up to ago back to school for a masters in Environmental Science! I have plenty of free time since I’m out of school this semester. I have a beautiful gated yard and a front porch so dogs can relax and get their sunlight. Pets will be with me at all times even when I’m running errands. I have a dog seat carrier if needed!
About: 23 years of experience, but dogs have always been a part of my life. Family I'd visit growing up and still visit have had 10 dogs featuring 8 different breeds, from Chihuahuas to Pitbulls. I've raised and basic-trained 3 puppy rescues since 2001, saw 2 of them to seniority (Chihuahua and Jack Russel-Chihuahua mix), and raised the most recent (Pug) until 2024 when I blessed close family members with her because they have a huge yard she adores and want her to be happy. I can't wait to fill this place with the vibrant energy only dogs can give! We can talk price adjustment after the first booking 😉❤️ I'm currently in between jobs so I'd be able to give your furbaby all the attention they need. I just need a day's heads up to get a few things sorted and we're all set! Your place or my place? I can go either way! This townhome has a patio your furbaby can sunbathe in with a breeze and shade, or we can keep them inside nice and cool/warm if the weather isn't friendly. If they're less adventurous, I can keep them company at your place where they'd feel more at home.
About: I’ve taken care of a few dogs for the past few years. I have taken care of my family’s and friends dogs for them when they were out of town. I have some dogs of my own that I taken care of. I’m currently looking for part time work so I am available relatively anytime. I am available on the weekends. I can walk your dog anytime during the day. I am very good with dogs. I have three of my own who are a bit friendly. I am willing to look after your pet in their home if they are more comfortable.
About: What sets me apart is my hands-on, daily experience raising and caring for my own dogs through every stage of their lives. Having managed everything from strict medication schedules to comforting aging pets, I am highly attentive to senior care and changing health needs. I know how to read canine body language, respect boundaries, and provide a low-stress, comforting environment. Your pup will get the exact same dedicated, intuitive care I give my own family. Pet care fits perfectly into my week because my school and part-time job hours are highly flexible. Even though my work shift schedule changes daily, my part-time hours mean I have an abundance of free time throughout the week. Because my days are mostly clear, I can easily adapt to and strictly follow your pet's specific feeding, walking, and care routines without any hassle. I provide pet care exclusively within the client’s home because I believe keeping pets in their own familiar environment is the best way to reduce separation anxiety. My approach is centered on strictly maintaining your pup's established daily routine. During my stay, I follow your exact feeding schedules, walk routes, and potty break intervals. I treat your home with the utmost respect—keeping everything secure, clean, and exactly as I found it. You will receive regular photo updates and transparent communication so you can have complete peace of mind while you are away.
“Maria is awesome! She won our anxious dog over very quickly, and put us all at ease by sending photos and updates frequently. Pippa was very happy and well cared for. Would absolutely recommend!”
About: Well what I can said. I'm a really outgoing person who likes the outdoors, I enjoy long walks I like to hike, the beach. I like to explore new things. As a new mother I like to take care of details and I go beyond any expectations. I can bathe the dog if it it ok with any person. My house is really small but I know that every dog would feel comfortable staying here. I can feed them any medication if they need any. Over all about my self I really outgoing person that likes to get along with others I'm fun, silly, happy, and I'm also a grown woman with a mind of a child that would love any activity. Please feel free to get to know me. I'm a stay home mom so I have plenty of time to take care of any dog. And play with them. And give them attention. I have a small fenced yard. Where the dog can run around without any inconvenience. And I will also take them for a walk to the park.
About: I’ve always been responsible and thorough when taking care of dogs and I treat them like my own. I’m patient and helpful with all types of dogs I currently have open availability and do gig work as well so I’m sure I can make time to take care of your pets I can keep your dog safe inside or outside of the house and I can make sure they are cool, fed, and out of trouble
About: Pending on parents wishes, we take walks, play, I will have doggie toys or they can bring their own. I can do medication, including injections, give them breakfasts and snacks pending parents bringing what the babies like Im currently available everyday, once I start my daily job, I can still stay at your homes, and walk, feed and play. And all day onweekends, mindful that I am available now 24/7 I have a fenced yard, no other doggies on property. I always say less is more when it comes to meeting a new pup no matter the age. This is to gain trust with myself and them.
About: I’ve taken care of family’s pets and my own for the past 11 years. My dog is my baby and I will treat yours like one! Any type of help you need, I will exercise your pet, wash them, administer medicine. They will be well taken care of! Currently working full-time during the week. I am mostly available on weekends: Fridays: 6:30pm-night Saturdays: 1pm-night Sundays: all day I can make myself available on weekday nights 6:30pm - evening depending on the situation. Dogs will tell you what they need. I take them for potty breaks frequently and if they are telling me they want more play time I will give them extra play time. When they are more tired I will give them space to rest. Sometimes when they have attitude I have to be stern and tell them it’s not time for extra treats xD they like to be challenged so I do like to train them to do some tricks. My dog knows how to roll over, beg, and wait amongst several other tricks. Dogs like the direction and having a job to do. I have the patience to help them learn how to wait and walk properly on a leash without pulling. It takes time but it is doable!!
About: Helloo there! My name is Marjorie, I’m 29 years old. I adore all animals, and enjoy staying active. I’ve owned many pets (mostly dogs and cats) since I can remember and I’ve only grown to adore them and attempt to learn the best ways to take care of them. Whether you want me to check up on your fur baby or take them on a walk while you’re away, you can count on me! If you have any questions/comments/concerns feel free to contact me. I look forward to hearing from y’all :) Im currently working a remote job with flexible hours, which allows my availability for bookings to be flexible as well. I aim to walk at least 45 minutes a day, adding a fur pal to walk with or go visit would be the cherry on top of my day! I will listen and accommodate to you and your pets needs when visiting your home. You can trust that I want the best care for your babies!
About: I’ve always grown up around dogs. My favorite breed are pitbull but I have two beagles at the moment. I’ll obey any instructions you have for your pet, I do my best not to feed into bad dog behaviors. I’ve taken care of my family members dogs and multiple dogs at once. I’m good at cleaning up after dogs too. I’m currently studying for my CPA exams, so pet care will easily fit into my weekly routine. I prefer to walk any animal before the sunsets, but being at someone’s home is fine any time. I’m good at cleaning up after animals and myself. I have two beagles so I prefer not to do anything at my house. But I’m more than willing to take care of any pets at their house.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lynwood
Audry stayed for two nights looking after our two cats! She was very communicative, attentive and just an overall great person! We loved having her stay and felt at ease that our cats were very well looked after. We will definitely be using her again and I can't recommend her enough for your pets!
I cannot recommend Anahis enough! I felt completely at ease knowing Molly was in such caring hands. She went above and beyond to ensure Molly felt comfortable, safe, and loved throughout her stay. The communication was perfect and I received regular updates and photos of Molly. Molly can be a bit nervous around new people, but she immediately felt calm with Anahis. She was relaxed, happy, and content. She truly treats each pet as if it were her own. If you're looking for someone trustworthy and caring to watch your pet, I’d highly recommend Anahis. Thank you for taking care of Molly!
Moriah is AMAZING. We’ve been wanting to go on overnight trips but haven’t since one of our little guys has quite an involved medical routine. We have been so worried we wouldn’t find anyone that would be patient or communicative enough to learn his ways. Moriah turned that thought around *completely* and went above and beyond! Moriah was so attentive to our boys’ routine, asked the right questions, gave us the best updates with pics, and honestly the boys fell even more in love with their buddy! We’re so grateful to Moriah for helping our family, so in Moriah we Trust! :)

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Lynwood is $38 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $111 per night. 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 October 2026, there are 15,162 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Lynwood. 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 Lynwood 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 Lynwood 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Lynwood 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 , 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 .
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 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.
