“Lainee was wonderful with my cats for three weeks while I was away. She is so caring and gentle with my boys and didn’t hesitate to help out with any issues that came up. They were so happy and well taken care of upon my return. Definitely will ask Lainee to look after my boys in future. I am so grateful!”

About: Hello! My name is Andrew and I am here on Rover to help any and all pet owners out there. As an owner of a Husky, I understand there are times when you need pet help in a crunch. I can work to be flexible in any situation that may arise! I am currently working full-time on the weekdays but I am able to fit any pet care into my daily routine as I am flexible. I am currently living in a 1-bedroom apartment with a balcony in case any pets need fresh air or to bathe in the sun!

About: Animals were a big part of my life since I was a kid. I believe that they make our lives and us much better. If you never loved an animal that means that a part of your soul is sleeping ⏰ I would love to take care of these precious creatures 🤍 🇺🇦🇾🇪I also know 4 languages (Arabic, Ukrainian, Russian, English) it will be easy to talk 😌 I’m currently working part-time, so I am free to take care of your babies and they will have a lot of attention and love 🤍 I have enough space to take care of your pets, I’m living in a pet-friendly condominium, also there is a park near me that is within a 5 minute walk, so I’m waiting for you 🤍

“Rachel absolutely rocks!!!!! While I love my cat she can be difficult at times to say the least with anyone but me. Plus she requires medicine every 12 hours and is 15 years old. First trip in a few years and honestly thought it would be a train wreck but then I found Rachel….. Super responsive, consistent, and I could tell she picked up on how important my little feline was to me. Food, water, litter box, meds, and knocked it all out of the park. Plus….. while Rachel didn’t say anything I know my cat so there had to be some vomit as that’s what cats do but no sign so Rachel cleaned it up presumably and not a peep! I would and plan to let this lady handle my feline stuff every time going fwd. Rachel, thank you so much!!!!”

About: This is the first period of my life where I don’t have a dog of my own, so I’m always excited to get some dog time in! I’ve become the go-to dog sitter for my friends and family, and I truly love every pup like they’re my own. I know being away from their family can sometimes put dogs in a bit of a funk, so I make a point to give them extra love and attention while you’re gone. I’m happy to keep them busy and active if they’re able, give lots of pets and cuddles, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m also very flexible with each dog’s needs. I can stick closely to their normal routine, or give them a little “dopamine day” with extra walks, playtime, and fun whatever you and your baby prefer. :) I work remotely so I have tons of time for walks, play time, cuddles, etc. :) When I dog sit, I really make them my focus, so I’m basically around and available to hang out with them most of the day. I’m very respectful of each dog’s routine and their owner’s home. I’ll follow whatever instructions you leave for feeding, walks, medications, crate time, etc. I also always keep an eye on their comfort level and won’t force anything if they seem nervous or unsure. I want them to feel safe and comfortable while you’re gone!

About: Hi! I’m a full-time sitter with 6+ years of experience offering personalized, one-on-one care. I accept only one client at a time so your pup gets my full attention in a calm, stress-free home. I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds, ages, sizes, and temperaments across the Westside. For cats: drop-ins and house-sitting only. I’m known for being patient, intuitive, and attentive—whether your dog is playful, shy, energetic, or senior, I tailor care to their needs so they feel safe and comfortable. Clients love my excellent communication, twice-daily photo updates, and the peace of mind of coming home to a happy, healthy dog and a very clean space. Good to know: ✔ Work from home — your dog is not alone for long (max 2.5 hours) ✔ Only one dog at a time, no other pets ✔ Clean, cozy Venice studio (great for small dogs) Can’t wait to meet you and your pup! Feel free to reach out and check out my reviews 🐾 I work from home so your dog wouldn’t be alone for too long. I truly care for my client’s dogs as if they were my own. My bed is a very popular nap, hangout spot. My apartment is a spacious studio, so ideal for small dogs/puppies. I keep it super clean as well! I have 3 doggy day beds, toys, treats and blankets for them. I always wash everything after each booking.

I grew up with dogs and have several years of experience walking and pet sitting, both occasionally and full-time. I work in office (Venice) 2-3x per week with a flexible schedule, so I’m able to be attentive and consistent throughout the day, whether for walks, drop-ins, or overnight care.

I’m happy to tailor care to your dog’s routine, whether that’s active outings or relaxed companionship. I’m reliable, caring, detail-oriented, and always prioritize safety, communication, and making sure your pet feels comfortable and well cared for while you’re away. I currently have a flexible schedule, I work hybrid. In office only Tuesday - Thursday, which allows me to dedicate consistent time and attention to pet care throughout the week. I’m available for Monday, Friday and Weekend daytime visits, afternoon/evening care, and overnights, including weekends. I’m able to structure my day around your pet’s routine. I prioritize keeping pets comfortable by maintaining their normal routine in their own home environment. I carefully follow all instructions around feeding, walks, medications, and any specific behaviors or needs. I’m very respectful of both your home and your pet’s space, and I always aim to create a calm, safe environment. I also provide regular updates so you feel fully informed and at ease while you’re away!

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: With over 20 years of experience caring for animals, I’ve had the joy of growing up with cats and black labs and my love for pets has only grown stronger over the years. I’ve always had a natural connection with animals, and I treat every pet in my care like they’re part of my own family. I work from home in tech, which means your dog or cat will have plenty of companionship and attention throughout the day. I’m very active and love going on walks, so your pup will enjoy lots of outdoor time. I also live just one block away from the magical Burton Chace Park a true dog paradise perfect for strolls, exploration, and fresh air. My cat walks on a leash. My home is a spacious 2,000 sq ft townhouse in a quiet, family-friendly neighborhood filled with pet lovers. I have a securely fenced yard where your dog can safely relax, roam, or sunbathe. It’s a very safe street, and the environment is calm and welcoming for pets of all ages and personalities. Whether your pet needs playtime, snuggles, a structured routine, or simply a peaceful place to unwind, I’m here to give them personalized care and attention. I’m also happy to accommodate crate-trained dogs if that’s part of their normal routine. Requested information about your pet Let me know if your dog has any special needs, medications, routines, or quirks. I’m very flexible, and we can discuss everything to ensure your pet is comfortable, happy, and well cared for during their stay. I always want to confirm this ahead of time to give every pet the best experience possible! ***MUST BE GOOD WITH CATS. I am working part time from home in tech. I have a light schedule and love to take walks during the day. I feed pets as directed, and of course always wash their bowls and add fresh water eat time. I live mins from Burton Chase park which i think its the prettiest park in LA. I live in a 3 bedroom 2 story townhouse in the marina del Rey. My community is very safe, lots of families. My unit is fenced in.

Gracie made us feel completely at ease about leaving our two cats in her care for the first time while while we were away. The kitties warmed up to her almost immediately! She took excellent care of them, including giving one of my cats liquid medication twice a day, which she handled with ease. When we got home, the cats were as happy as ever. I'm so grateful, and I wouldn't hesitate to book her again. Highly recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Marina del Rey on Rover is $28 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $44 per visit. 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 18,958 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .

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.

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

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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 Meet & Greet .

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
