I will definitely be asking Aech to watch my pup again! I very much appreciated the regular updates on my dog and could tell from the many photos that she was relaxed and happy while staying with Aech, which is not a given for my sometimes anxious dog. Aech did not even blink at my dog’s little eccentricities and special needs, and just happily rolled with punches - highly recommend booking!!

About: I truly enjoy spending time with dogs and caring for them with patience, warmth, and attention. I have several years of hands-on experience with dogs, including experience as a dog owner, caring for other people’s dogs, and caring for a puppy. I’m also comfortable giving medications when needed. I understand that every dog is different and has their own routine, personality, and comfort level. I always do my best to make dogs feel safe, calm, and cared for through loving attention, consistency, and gentle care. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time, attention, and care to the pets I look after. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits and pet sitting, and I do my best to keep each pet on their usual routine so they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I believe it’s very important to follow each owner’s instructions, routines, and usual way of caring for their dog. I’m very attentive to those details because they help pets feel safe, relaxed, and comfortable. I want each dog to feel not only well cared for, but also to have a sense of familiarity and home-like comfort while you’re away.

Nicholle did a six-night stay with our pups and the pups were so happy the entire time! She sent tons of photos every day which kept us super assured that everything was going well, and she had no issues following our (detailed 😅) pet care instructions. We hadn’t even gotten home yet by the time I already reached out and asked about her availability for another trip this summer, that’s how happy we were!

Melia watched our two cats for a week while we were away and did an amazing job. She sent lots of photos and updates throughout the week, was a great houseguest, and even our shy guy was comfortable around her. We came home to two relaxed happy kitties, and will definitely use her again in the future.

Fidana is FANTASTIC!! So much so that I think my cat, Noah, misses her! Haha! She is detail-oriented, quick to respond, and most of all, has a loving heart! She sent photos and videos daily, and reassured me that Noah was doing well! This made a huge difference in my trip because I typically feel anxiety when I’m away from Noah. I highly highly highly recommend her!! I most certainly will be hiring her again! Thank you so much, Fidana, for taking such sweet care of my boy! 😻❤️🙏

About: Leaving your fur babies behind is never easy, but I’m here to give you total peace of mind. As a registered veterinary technician with 14 years of experience caring for animals, I’m happily stepping out of the clinic and into your home! My goal is to bring that same high level of medical expertise and attentiveness into the comfortable, stress-free environment where your pets feel safest. Whether your sweet pup or kitty needs a strict medical routine, or just an extra dose of love and belly rubs while you’re away, I promise to treat them exactly like my own. Because I work from home, I have the complete freedom and flexibility to closely adhere to your pet's individual daily routine and schedule. Whether that’s with drop-in visits, walks and exercise, or pet sitting in your home. Every pet has their own perfect pace, and I'm happy to match it. From leisurely walks along the strand/beach to high-energy games of fetch in the park or yard, or just cozying up for some serious couch-potato cuddles, your pet gets exactly the kind of day they love most. My extensive veterinary background equips me to handle pets that require specialized attention. I am highly experienced in administering oral and injectable medications. I have been fully trained in recognizing subtle animal behaviors, and tailor my care to meet their individual needs and personalities. I always respect their boundaries, move to their level of comfort, and use only positive and gentle handling so they feel safe and loved. My own experience caring for my beloved cranky 14 year old pup, who suffers from epilepsy and immune mediated illness, has taught me to be extremely observant, read body language meticulously, and proactively adapt environments to avoid negative situations. I am passionate about welcoming animals of all breeds, sizes, temperaments, and life stages—from energetic puppies and kittens to sweet seniors. I have 2 senior pups and a 26-year-old tortoise of my own! My love for animals is a huge part of who I am, even outside the clinic. While living in Southeast Asia, I spent my time volunteering with local rescue organizations, where I personally loved on and cared for over 200 dogs and puppies. From nursing injured and paralyzed pups to keeping up with daily feeding, bathing, and playtime, I was fully hands-on. Above all, your pet’s safety and happiness are at the heart of everything I do. I want you to feel like you're leaving your baby with a trusted friend. I pride myself on being reliable, attentive, and deeply compassionate, and I treat your home and pets with the utmost respect. I promise to keep you connected with plenty of sweet updates and photos along the way. I truly love going the extra mile to ensure that you can relax completely, knowing your furry family member is feeling loved, comfortable, and completely pampered. Can't wait to meet your best friend! Working from home gives me the complete flexibility to seamlessly match your pets daily routine. I am available for whatever your pet needs, from walks and feedings to drop-in’s and full pet sitting. Because my own grumpy senior pup doesn’t do well with new friends, I don’t offer care in my home. However, I’d love to keep your pets routine perfectly consistent by caring for them in their own familiar space.

Samuel was fantastic! Elvis love him and they had a great time together. Samuel was very communicative, which I really appreciated. He sent pictures and checked in daily, but not too much. He was also honest about our pup’s witching hour when he turns into a monster, and said it was challenging but they managed through it. His honesty is refreshing and comforting. He left our house very clean and neat. He is a professional and that shows in every way. We will absolutely use him again!

Our puppy had to go potty every hour or so, and she followed our instructions and helped us put her down for her naps as well.

About: My love for pets began from an early age. My room was resembled a zoo by the time I was ten. Friends rely on me to look after their pets when they're away and I'm experienced with all types of animals and their required care. This is my primary business that I run with my girlfriend who is also available when necessary. I'm reachable 24/7 so owners can have some peace of mind while they're away and as much phone contact as they want. Three day minimum for house sitting please. I have a charming house with a large completely fenced in backyard and friendly neighbors who all have a variety of animals. Your pets will have full time attention and be very comfortable when boarding with me, my wife and two cats.

About: I love caring for animals! I've had my dog for 12 years since I found him as a stray, and I have experience working at animal shelters as well as working as an assistant to a concierge vet. I've worked at multiple animal welfare nonprofits and I’ve been successfully pet sitting for years; you can trust your family members are in good hands! I love to walk and play with dogs, take them to the beach, and love playing with cats (+ walk them if they’re into harnesses!) I’ll take good care of all their needs while you're gone, so you can rest easy! I have experience administering medication (injections for dogs + oral meds for dogs&cats). I’m comfortable with animals who are less socialized or don't like other dogs, animals, children, skateboards, etc. You won't need to worry about your pet's safety or comfort with me, just tell me what they need :) I work remotely and I can be super flexible with timing. FYI, I don’t bring my dog with me, unless it’s a house sit and you’ve specifically told me your animals are super friendly and wouldn’t mind - otherwise I leave my pup at my house! I have a remote part-time job with a team in different time zones, making my schedule super flexible. Let me know what your pet’s needs are and I’m sure I can accommodate! Unless you request otherwise, I let animals on the furniture and bed. I walk dogs every few hours depending on energy level and age. I’m happy to accommodate special requests if you communicate them to me in the booking or meet and greet!

About: Hi, I’m Luke. I’ve spent years helping care for dogs and cats for friends, family, and neighbors. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel comfortable while their owners are away. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having a calm companion nearby, I’ll do my best to make them feel safe and cared for. You’ll receive regular photos and updates throughout the stay, so you’ll always know how your pet is doing. I understand that trusting someone with your pet and home is a big decision, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pet. My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to be available throughout the week and on weekends. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and make sure they receive the attention, exercise, and companionship they need while you’re away. Whether it’s a short visit, regular walks, or overnight care, my goal is to provide dependable care and give you peace of mind. I care for pets in their own home where they’re most comfortable and stick closely to their usual routine. I make sure they’re fed on schedule, have clean spaces, and get the attention they need based on their personality. I’m respectful of your home, keep things tidy, and communicate clearly throughout the stay. You can expect regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing.

Ashley was a GREAT sitter for our dog. Our dog has anxiety issues when we travel and does best with lots of attention to help her feel calm. She is on different heart medications and needs access to pee breaks. She is also uneasy around other dogs which requires extra attention on walks. Ashley handled all of this with genuine care. She followed all our requests and kept our house nice and tidy. She was responsive and communicative - responding right away and a wind is daily updates and pics. This was our first time using rover and we are thrilled that we met Ashley and finally have someone that can care for our special dog when we are away. Thank you, Ashley!

FAQs for House Sitting - Marina del Rey

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Marina del Rey on Rover is $68.55 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 13,826 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Marina del Rey. 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 Marina del Rey 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 Marina del Rey 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 Marina del Rey 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Marina del Rey. On Rover:

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.
