“Liana was such a good sitter and friend to Karl!! Came in town for the weekend have never used Rover before so was a little bit nervous. We were also staying at an Airbnb. So it was a little bit of a complex situation seeing as how we came in town for an event on Sunday so we needed Liana all day but she made us trust rover and she was amazing with our corgi Karl, took him on a hike and showed him around town with our permission! Sent us pics and updates! We know he was well taken care of and had a great time exploring with Liana! Anytime we’re back in the area will def ask her again! Def recommend to any family or friend or any other paw parent!”


“Yessy was a great caretaker for my dogs! She took the time ahead of our trip to make sure she got all of the details involved in caretaking for them. I was reassured while away with videos, pictures, and updates. Would definitely recommend her!”
“It always gives us such a peace of mind when Nichole watches our senior dog, who needs medication. Not only does our dog love her and gets so excited when she comes over but we get constant updates while we’re away.”

“River took care of our chihuahua for a week while we were traveling and had to leave him at home. She is an excellent dog sitter, took care of all needs to be done for my dog, she bonded in short time with my dog, gaining trust and provided all was needed. She updated us everyday with the progress and pictures, we are happy with her service and highly recommend her.”


About: I have a lot of experience caring for pets and am committed to providing the best possible care for your furry family members! I’ve spent a lot of time with my family’s pets, caring for them over several days at a time and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’ve also lived with cats and understand the affection, attention, and care they need to thrive. Since I work from home, I have the flexibility to spend more quality time with pets throughout the day. I love the opportunity to get outside, enjoy some fresh air, and go on walks while keeping pets happy and active. What sets me apart is my patience, attentiveness, and genuine desire to treat every pet as if they were my own. I understand that every animal has their own personality and needs, and I’m happy to follow their routines and any special care instructions to help them feel at ease. My goal is to provide the utmost care, love, and attention to your pets while giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands! I work from home, so I have a pretty flexible schedule during the week and can make plenty of time to give your pets the care, attention, and love they deserve! Whether it’s stopping by for visits, feeding, playtime, walks, or simply keeping your furry friend company, I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and specific needs. I’m also available most weekends if you need care then! I love being able to take breaks from work to spend time with animals, get outside for some fresh air, and make sure your pets feel happy, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m happy to communicate with you and follow any instructions to help keep your pet’s routine as consistent and stress-free as possible! I love the pets I care for and want to make sure they feel happy, safe, and loved! I enjoy playing with them, giving them affection, and getting to know their unique personalities. Whether it’s taking dogs on walks, playing with their favorite toys, or giving cats scratches and space when they need it, I want every pet to feel comfortable and cared for. I always do my best to follow their routines and be attentive to their needs. Since I work from home, I have a flexible schedule to spend quality time with your furry friends! I’m excited to meet more pets and treat each one with the same love and care I would give my own.
“We couldn’t be more grateful to Meesii for the incredible care she provided for our 14-year-old dog and our home while we were away. She went above and beyond in following all of his special care instructions, and even made sure he had a nice long walk before we got home so we wouldn’t have to worry about it after traveling — such a thoughtful touch! Our home was spotless upon our return, just as we’d left it. On top of all that, Meesii is kind, responsive, and a true pleasure to work with. We highly recommend her and would absolutely trust her with our pup and home again!”

About: Growing up, I've always had not just one, but multiple pets around the house to help take care of. From birds, fish, rabbits, and of course cats and dogs, I have experience giving care to different types of pets from a bottle feeding age to seniors as well. I have a passion for animals and treat other pets much like they are my own. My wife and I currently care for 2 dogs and 1 cat. One of our late, but always loved, dogs required additional attention with daily medication and regular trips to an oncologist because of his lymphoma, so I can reassure your loved ones with the same type of care if they need it as well. Having attended many training lessons for dogs, I can also provide reinforcement to any training for your pets. I'm looking forward to connecting and helping as much as I can! Since I'm a real estate agent, my schedule is flexible and any unavailable times will be reflected on my Rover calendar. I'm able to do a lot of work on the computer and meetings in-person are scheduled ahead of time which will not interfere with the care that I agree to provide. For every Pet Sitting, Walking, or Drop-In visit, I'm happy to and prefer to keep the same routine you would provide to your loved ones. Much like my own, I'm happy to administer daily medication, help take trips to the vet/appointments, prepare special diets, and get much needed exercise. We can also work together to freestyle how you'd like your pet to be cared for and I can provide recommendations that my pets enjoy as well. The most important aspects are your loved ones being safe and comfortable as well as your peace of mind intact.
About: Hi! I’m Amy, and I’d love to welcome your pup into my home! I’ve been a dog lover my entire life and grew up with dogs, so caring for them has always come naturally. These days I have a Miniature Schnauzer named Stevie Nicks (yes, just like the singer!), and she’s the sweetest little host. She gets along wonderfully with other dogs and would absolutely love having a new friend come stay with us. I work from home most of the week and only go into the office twice a week, so your dog will get plenty of attention, companionship, and potty breaks throughout the day. Whether your pup loves playing, cuddling on the couch, or just hanging out, we’ll make sure they feel right at home. I work from home most of the week, so your pup will have plenty of companionship and attention throughout the day. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, I head into the office, but it’s a dog-friendly workplace! If your dog enjoys new environments and it’s a good fit for their personality, they’re welcome to join me. Otherwise, I’m home the rest of the week and happy to discuss whether my schedule is the right fit for your pup’s needs. We live in a ground-floor unit with both a private front patio and a fully fenced backyard, giving dogs secure outdoor spaces to stretch their legs, play, or relax in the fresh air. I always strive to create a calm, safe, and welcoming environment where every dog feels right at home
“The best feeling is going on vacation and knowing your pets are in good hands. Hannah is responsive, professional, and was able to jump in last minute to help with our 2 dogs and cat. She's great at sending pictures and in every one I could tell my pets were having the best time. Thank you Hannah!!”

“Alyssa was incredibly caring and compassionate with our pups! One of our dogs was nervous when we left, and Alyssa helped her feel comfortable and calm her down while keeping us updated. She was also super communicative and easygoing. We will absolutely be having her back next time we need a dog sitter!”

About: Dogs and Cats have been a part of me life for decades. Very experienced with Tripod (3-legged) Dogs, Senior Dogs, Cats with Renewal Failure, and dogs with anxiety issues. Cared for tiny Chihuahuas and Pugs, muscular dogs like Pit Bulls and Cane Corsos, and big old (130lb) love bugs like Tibetan Mastiffs. I am comfortable administering medication in food, crushed up in food, in a "meatball," in a pill pocket, or even applying topical medication. Picky eaters love my food games and after a few days with me, they are excited to eat (always happy to share my tricks with pet owners who are interested) I work remotely and have been providing in home pet care for the past 2 years. Always happy to have a cat cuddle up with me at night or to take a dog on a little weekend car adventure to a nearby walking trail where we can check out squirrels. I treat each home with care: no parties, no drugs, no drinking, no smoking. I'm also mindful to clean up after myself. A clean familiar space allows pets to feel at ease when their owners are away which allows us to connect faster. I am happy to have a pet sit on my lap, sit next to me, or just let them have as much space as they desire.

About: I’ve grown up around animals my whole life, with dogs, cats, chickens, rabbits and birds, they've have always been apart of my life and family. Im very comfortable around animals and love getting too know all their different personalities. I've cared for pets of different ages and temperaments, and I undertone that some want to be your best friend straight away and while others need a little more time and space. I’m happy with walks, feeding, playtime, lots of attention and keeping them company, making sure they comfortable and happy while you’re away. I also have experience administering medication and have cared for a dog while they were in hospice care, so I’m comfortable with pets who need a little extra care and attention at any age. I’ve also done plenty of house/pet sitting, so I’m very comfortable caring for pets in their own home and understand how important it is to respect both your animals and your space. I’m happy to send photos and updates while you’re away so you know how everyone is doing I'm a writer, so I currently have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time for pet care. Im available throughout the week and weekend for walks, drop ins and house sitting, and im happy to work around your pet's usual routine as much as possible. For house sitting I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving both your pets and yo home with someone else. I've done plenty of house sitting through trusted house sitters when I Travel, so im very used to caring for pets in their own homes and respecting someone else spaces. I follow the routines and instructions you leave and make sure they get plenty of attention, walks and playtime, and im always happy to send photos and updates while you're away and if thats what you enjoy!
“Seira took great care of my Sammy! She handled his food, medication, and walk schedule like a champ, and spent lots of time giving him cuddles. She's a very positive person that made a great impression on neighborhood folks while I was away.”

“I can't recommend Christine highly enough! She took care of my beloved dog Riley with such dedication and warmth that I felt completely at ease during my time away. Christine's attention to detail and genuine love for animals were evident in every interaction. She provided regular updates and photos, which reassured me that Riley was happy and well-cared for. Christine went above and beyond to accommodate Riley's needs and ensure her comfort. I returned to find a happy and healthy pup, which speaks volumes about the quality of care she received. If you're looking for someone reliable, responsible, and genuinely passionate about pets, look no further than Christine. She is an absolute gem, and I wouldn't hesitate to entrust Riley to her care again in the future. Thank you, Christine, for your exceptional service!”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have experience caring for breeds of all sizes, from Pugs to Great Danes. One of my most rewarding experiences was raising 13 Great Dane puppies from birth, where I assisted with socialization, enrichment, and early development. I understand that every dog has a unique personality, and I strive to provide patient, attentive care that helps them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away! I currently work part-time as a nanny in the evenings, which leaves my mornings and early afternoons during the week available for walks, drop-in visits, and boarding pet care. I’m also available on Saturdays and Sundays, giving me plenty of flexibility to provide dependable care and make sure your pet gets the time, exercise, and attention they deserve. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my priority is making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I have a friendly, well-socialized dog who enjoys the company of other dogs, so visiting pets will have a welcoming companion if they’re comfortable around other dogs. I always follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and any special instructions.
“We loved Gianmarco. He was extremely accommodating and flexible. He took excellent care of Noodle and our home. Gianmarco is a very kind and friendly person. We are so fortunate to have found him. We will definitely ask Gianmarco to return. Noodle was sad to see him go and so did we.”

“Camie took great care of Bailey and the house while I was away. Communication was excellent, everything was exactly as I left it, and Bailey seemed happy, relaxed, and very well cared for when I got home. I appreciate the peace of mind knowing Bailey was in good hands. I’m pretty sure she may have preferred the extra attention and snacks from Camie over having me home. Highly recommend and would gladly book again.”

I had a great experience with Kaile watching Alfie overnight at my apartment! She was incredibly respectful of my space, communicative throughout the stay and shared plenty of photos and updates, which I really appreciated. It was clear Alfie was in great hands, and everything went smoothly from start to finish. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful and caring

Kin-Ling & William were great! We needed a last minute booking for house sitting our two senior pups. They were able to come that day for a meet and greet and asked lots of thoughtful questions about our pups. We had an early flight the next morning and again Kin-Ling was able to accommodate us and show up to be with the pups when we left. She did great on cooking the pups their individual meals, administering medicine, driving them to their favorite park for morning walks, walking them in the neighborhood for the evening walk, sending us photos/videos, and even going to the vet to pickup a refill.

Sarah and Karl were AMAZING dog sitters. They sent us daily updates of Maple and gave her lots of love and play time. Maple warmed up to them right away and we felt so comfortable knowing Maple was well taken care of. They also helped take care of our plants while we were away and took great care of our home. We would definitely book again!

Natalia does an excellent job at taking care of sugar and always communicates well, despite the fact I am often busy while she is caretaking for me. My dog even got sick while I was gone and she handled the issue without adding any stress for myself. A very capable sitter!

Jasmine was excellent and highly recommend! We went on an extended trip to Japan and this was the first time we used Rover and found Jasmine and we were very happy having her at our house and didn’t have to worry about our cats and dog at all the entire time. We knew they were in good hands with her and we were able to fully enjoy our trip. We were a little worried because we were 16 hours ahead, but she was very on point with sending updates and asking questions and sending us info on our animals so we didn’t have to worry at all. Especially Chance is a senior dog — 15 years old — but he did great and she was very communicative during the whole process. If you’re looking for a solid pet sitter, I highly recommend Jasmine.

In all our years of meeting sitters on Rover, Anita is heads and shoulders above the rest. The level of care, kindness, and attention to detail was nothing short of outstanding. She was punctual, genuinely loving to our sweet Mala, took lots of fabulous photos, offered regular updates, and left our home looking immaculate! Anita is a dream, and someone we would ask back again, without question!

Lainee is truly amazing! Our older pup really loves her, and even though our younger pup can have some separation anxiety, she was so patient and kind while watching him while we were out. Throughout the night, she provided photo updates that put us at ease, knowing they were being so well taken care of. Thank you, Lainee!

Natalie is truly a godsend. This was our first time asking someone to care for our puppy while we were away, and as first‑time puppy parents, trusting a new person felt nerve‑wracking at first. Natalie immediately put us at ease. She followed every instruction we provided, kept us updated, and treated our puppy with so much patience and care. He clearly had a great time with her, and she even taught him a helpful little trick for settling in his playpen - something we genuinely appreciate. We couldn’t have asked for a better first experience, and we’re so grateful for her support!

Gwen is amazing with my 2 dogs. 1 is a very new puppy, and the other is an adult Husky. Both very different in size, energy level and personalities. Gwen was able to handle both of them with a lot of expertise and care. She's very responsive and reliable. Will definitely use her again. Thanks so much for taking such great care of my 2 pups!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Marina del Rey is $68 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $34 and $125 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 13,642 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 , 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.
