About: I’ve lived with dogs for 15 years, often several at a time, and with a cat for 7. I’ve helped raise energetic puppies, began potty training and potty routines, and cared for senior dogs who need extra patience and gentler walks for their health. I’m great at following your pet’s routine and sending regular photo updates so you can relax while you’re away. Pet care is already built into my day with my seven year old cat and with my independent contracting work I am mainly available throughout the day and have time to take your pets on walks, feed them, and anything else they may need! Not applicable; I am currently not accepting animals in own home due to owning a cat and do not want to cause stress on him by introducing another animal.

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!

About: I’ve grown up with both dogs and cats since I was 5 years old (I’m now 22), so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes and personalities and understand how important routine, patience, and affection are for them to feel safe and happy. I’m happy to provide baths at no extra cost and can also offer room and board in a loving, attentive environment where your pet will be treated like family. I work Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, and am available all day on weekends and Wednesdays. I would love to spend as much time with your furry friend as possible! I have a fenced yard and a bath tub if your pet needs a bath or groomed! I live in a large house a 2 minute walk from a park, so they will have plenty of space to play and roam! Pets are the best thing in the world to me and I am excited to meet yours!!

“Iryna was great with my 11 y/o Boston Terrier, Tux. She did twice daily checkin’s for a week and sent a picture every time, sometimes multiple pics with comments all of which were so very appreciated. Tux needed Meds at specific times and Iryna was always on time. She’s was also very quick to respond on the app throughout the process! I plan to use her again and recommend her to anyone in need of a dog walker.”

About: I am independently insured for pet walking and sitting. Growing up in Tennessee, my family had a running total of 10 cats and 2 dogs. We had kittens, strays, and elderly pets. All of our cats were shorthaired, but my grandmother had a longhaired cat. I briefly took care of another longhaired cat that a friend found in his neighborhood. He couldn’t keep it and knew I had experience with cats, so he called me and I took it in until we found its owner. The dogs I grew up with were very different. We got Hook, our black labrador retriever, from a breeder. He came with a pedigree and everything. Years later, in his old age, a corgi mix showed up at our house. We weren’t able to find her owners and we ended up keeping her. I credit her with keeping Hook alive a little longer. I know how much of a difference our animals can make. I have done petsitting in the client’s home and in my own home with pets, often with multiple animals at one time. I even kept three guinea pigs for about a week in December 2023. In Tennessee, I worked as a volunteer at a local animal shelter, reading to cats and dogs through a program designed to help socialize the animals. I am unable to pet sit animals in my current apartment, and would treat it as a privilege to be let in your home in any capacity. My current job is a flexible, part time, remote job that I can do from anywhere. This leaves me with a lot of availability for your pet! I am patient with animals and I never take my emotions out on them. There are times where I have had to be firm with animals, of course, (can you imagine keeping 6 cats off the counters? Or keeping our corgi mix from nipping at our black lab while she tried to herd him outside?), but I’ve never been mean or lost my temper with an animal, and our corgi was a Mess™. I can clean traditional litterboxes and have familiarity with some higher-tech ones. I understand body language cues from both dogs and cats. As the daughter of a former landlord, I understand the frustration that comes with letting someone in your home just for them to take advantage of you. Therefore, you can be certain I will maintain the utmost respect for your belongings, your home, and your pet.

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

She goes above/beyond and takes the best photos which is kind of fun to see while you’re away. Pretty sure our cats didn’t miss us thanks to Ashley being so great. I highly recommend contacting Ashley.”

About: I was raised in a house with many animals and have always honored their personalities and rhythms. I am patient with the very young as well as very old, and love everything in between (I especially love play). I have cared for geriatric, post-stroke, and puppies and love all of my time with pets! I am a freelancer and do most of my work from a laptop which I can tote around with me, making it easy to accommodate your pets care needs. I am extremely detail oriented and caring. My diligence keeps me respectful of needs and space alike. I treat every home like my own, and every sweet pet face like my own as well; with all of the compassion and sweetness they deserve.

“Veronica is amazing! She's incredibly kind, caring, and patient. Most importantly, my pups have taken to her so quickly, which is rare because they both have a bit of stranger danger at first. My dog, Chance, has Addison's disease, and I love that Veronica has a vet tech background. She truly understands his medical needs, knows how to help keep his stress levels as low as possible, and can recognize the early signs of stress. It's such a comfort knowing she's fully capable of administering his eye drops and eye ointment, and can even assist me with his hormone injections. I feel incredibly lucky to have found Veronica. Knowing my pups will be in such knowledgeable, loving hands while I'm away gives me complete peace of mind. We already have a few more trips and drop-ins scheduled with her. I couldn't recommend her more highly!”

About: Since I was very small, I’ve cared for a menagerie of animals, including cats and dogs, reptiles and small critters, even horses and goats. I’ve had a number of special needs animals of my own, and am very well-acquainted with administering medication and accommodating special needs. After recently losing my elderly dog for whom I had been managing severe epilepsy, and my elderly cat to cancer, I’m used to providing near constant care and love, and now find myself with time on my hands and love to spare. I deeply understand the stress of leaving your pet in a stranger’s care, and I’ll make sure you can see that your pet is safe with me. I live at the beach on a great trail network with walkable parks to give your dogs a taste of vacation, whatever their preference, and have a deck in the trees with large floor to ceiling windows full of birds and squirrels to keep your cats entertained. I work full time from home with a very flexible schedule. Until recently I was caring for an elderly dog with severe epilepsy that required 3x daily medication, and an elderly cat with cancer who required feeding every couple of hours, so I’m accustomed to my days centering around animals’ schedules. Living at the beach means I take walk breaks throughout the day, and I appreciate that animals give me a ready excuse to step away from my computer. I have a deck in the trees that’s great for sunbathing and creature watching, and am 50 yards from the beach and it’s path, as well as a large local park and trail network along the wetlands. I work in the main space of my home, so it’s easy for me to have eyes on your pet at all times. Wherever they are in terms of their needs, I’m happy to meet them there!

We will eternally be grateful for Gracie’s warmth, kindness and love towards our baby Bobby! My fiancé (Derek) and I were traveling for the first time without having our friends be able to look after Bobby, so it was very anxiety inducing to find someone who would care for Bobby. Then we found Gracie! I was already traveling, so she went out of her way to drop in at our place, so Derek could explain all the little details. After Gracie’s visit, he right away wrote me that Gracie is pretty cool person! Every day Gracie shared Bobby’s activities and how he was warming up to her. If he ate, peed or pooped, played or what not. Most importantly we were at peace knowing Gracie would spend an hour with our baby and would have a company of such a nice person! We both wholeheartedly recommend her! Thank you Gracie!

My cat poncho is not always easy to be with. He can be aggressive at times. Luke blinded with him immediately and enjoyed his rookie personality. His reports were always positive and reassuring when a possible health issue arose. He he let me know about it and was very clear with his inquiry, and he followed my instructions about it instantly and kept monitoring it and when the issue resolved, he let me know right away that everything was OK. I will definitely book Luke anytime. I need it for sitter in the future. It’s very very good with my cat and I enjoyed it very much.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Marina del Rey

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Marina del Rey is $28 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $44 per visit. 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 18,828 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Marina del Rey. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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 .

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.

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

  • 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.

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.

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.
