“Michelle was great! It was my first time with Rover, and she was patient and helped me with errors I had made. She also went above and beyond. I was booking last minute, and she went out of her way to do a meet and greet before the dog sitting date. She also asked to take the dog on a short walk, even though she didn’t have to. Would definitely book again with her.”
“We are so grateful we found Bernadette! This was our first time leaving our dog for an extended period of time with someone outside of the family. I was nervous because our senior dog has doggy dementia and back leg mobility issues, but Bernadette was exceptionally knowledgeable and handled everything so well. Our dog usually gets very distressed while we’re away. However, we came home to find him super calm and relaxed. She kept him wonderful company and gave us total peace of mind. We couldn't recommend her more!”
“Lisa was amazing with my baby, Dolly. She showed up for our meet n greet ready with treats and immediately Dolly connected with her. Lisa knew right away we were on a routine and feeding/treat schedule and stuck to it. She’s a very respectful house guest but more importantly she’s the perfect person to care for your special fur baby! Highly recommend Lisa!”
“Dylan was awesome. He took amazing care of our dog. It was clear to see that our sometimes nervous dog Max, was very comfortable. Thanks Dylan you made our trip worry free with your amazing care. 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼”
About: I'm kidding! You're your fur baby's dream come true. I've cared for my family and friends' babies to get me through college. Because of my love for learning, I was able to pass down my knowledge to my cats and dogs through positive reinforcement; even shelter cats who only saw me 2-3 times a week! My senior dog, Von learned proper leash walking when I was 16 and just getting into the animal field. I dog-walked through Malibu, Encino, and Calabasas for 2 years before committing to a cat rescue. I am back since I will apply to vet school this upcoming cycle. I currently work full-time in a veterinary clinic, so I know what symptoms to look out for when your friend isn't feeling well. I strive to give exceptional care and make you feel comfortable when you are away from home. I've worked with cats and dogs of all sizes, so I have no preference. I work full-time for 4 days and have 3 consecutive days off (Thursday-Saturday/Sunday), this is a consistent schedule if you're someone that does impromptu trips on the weekends. However, if anything changes, I will keep my schedule updated! Although your pets will not be visiting my home because of my 3 kitties, I will treat your home as if it's my own. I will maintain your home the same way as I found it; I like to leave it even better than how I first arrived. Depending on the service, I ask questions beforehand to make sure that I can meet your expectations. Each client is different, but I will keep you in the loop to ensure your furry friends are in safe hands with daily photos and updates.
“Audrey was so accommodating with this short notice booking, and thoughtfully provided many regular updates and photo checkups on Fig throughout her time caring for her.”
About: I grew up having large dogs and am currently an aunt to a grey cat who is named Booboo. I allow pets to show their personality in order to give them the best care and keep them happy. I’m available Friday afternoons, Saturdays and Sundays. Just message me :) I’m flexible as long as I have a few hours notice. I can do mornings, afternoons or nights as needed I follow all care directions given by owners. I currently feed and play with my cat and give her lots of love. I will make sure all pets are taken care of and are kept safe
“I know I can depend on DeShaude for timely, professional, and gentle care of my pup. So thankful to have connected with him here on Rover. He gets my highest recommendation!”
“Was a lifesaver in helping me out on short notice. Did a great job taking care of my baby. Communicated with me throughout, which was much appreciated. Definitely book her if you need help with your precious dog.”
About: I’ve owned and cared for many pets since I was a child! I have a deep love & care for them and consider them my best friends/ family. As an artist I’m looking to spend my free time where I find inspiration! With animals, nature, and sharing love & care! Spending time with fur babies everyday is heaven on earth I focus on keeping pets safe, relaxed, and well cared for by following their routine as closely as possible. I treat every home with respect, keep everything clean and secure, and make sure pets get plenty of attention, walks, and care. I also send regular updates so you’re never left wondering how things are going.
About: I have always loved animals and feel comfortable caring for small and medium dogs. I am calm, patient, and careful with pets. I can help with walks, feeding, fresh water, playtime, and basic daily care. I always follow the owner’s instructions and send photo updates. I currently have a flexible schedule, so I can give pets attention, walks, feeding, and regular potty breaks. I am usually available on weekdays and weekends, depending on the booking. I prefer to care for one pet at a time so I can be focused and responsible. I live in an apartment and I keep the environment clean, calm, and safe. I do not leave pets off leash outside. I follow all care instructions carefully, keep doors secure, and make sure pets have fresh water, food, potty breaks, and attention. I prefer small and medium dogs.
“Iuliia was really great with our dogs Charlie and Pixie! She watched them for 3 nights at our home, and She sent us lots of pictures, videos, and updated us every day. We appreciate you watching them and caring for Charlie and Pixie! Thanks so much!”
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life—from growing up with family pups to now having one of my own. I truly love being around dogs and building a connection with them. Three years ago I adopted my dog from a shelter, and training him and earning his trust has been such a rewarding experience. It taught me patience and how important it is for dogs to feel safe and understood. I love learning each dog’s unique personality, quirks, and behaviors. When caring for dogs, I focus on making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and happy. Whether that’s going on walks, playing, giving them attention, or simply keeping them company. I treat every dog like they’re my own. I’m also happy to send photo updates so you can feel at ease knowing your pup is being well cared for. I would love the opportunity to spend time with and care for your dog with patience, attention, and lots of love. I currently work part-time, which gives me flexibility and availability most weekdays. Occasionally I may work one weekday, but my schedule is generally open. I’m available to help with house sitting, drop-ins, or walks during weekday mornings and afternoons, and I’m happy to care for your dog in the comfort of your home if needed. I will care for your pup the same way you would in your own home. I always follow the routines and instructions you provide so your dog feels comfortable, safe, and happy while you’re away. Whether that includes walks, feeding schedules, playtime, or simply keeping them company, I’m happy to accommodate whatever helps your pup feel at ease.
About: I have a story like most sitters, having a childhood dog since I was 10 but I watch my kiddos like a hawk. I had a childhood dog, since he was 6 months till he reached the age of 14 through his years I’ve learned to administer oral medication and provide more support as he got older. Now I have been training my australian shepherds since they were 2 months with treats or even high rewards especially for my big lug Bruno when it came to crate training, obedience and even patience! It takes time but it’s super rewarding. I work a part time job at the moment. So I spend more time with my potatoes in the morning and evenings after work. Early morning breakfast, stretch, play for 15min then train for another 15 min after that I do my chores or run errands while checking my pups if they are doing well outside the yard every 10 minutes. If I don’t see them I do a quick recall and give them a reward then play for another 15 to 30 minutes as well with training then go back to chores but that’s my house routine. Around the evening I just add an 1hour and a half walks once I’m out of work Depending on the service, I ensure everything is safely secured or check the premises if anything is abnormal. I don’t like to go far away from furry friends because I also like to be around my pups but it’s a bit different when you have assistance at home which I luckily do have and I would love to help every pet owner who needs an extra hand

About: I grew up with 2 dogs, Gidget and Cindy. I have adopted, rescued and trained three dogs, Jasper, Isabelle and Covi. I was involved with Canine Companions to raise money for people with disabilities and I combined my art skills to paint dogs for display on Michigan Ave in Chicago to raise money for the canine unit at the Chicago Police Department. I also donate my time to organizations such as Animal Cruelty and PAWS. I LOVE all animals and dogs give me so much happiness. I am very active and like walking and exercise. I am available Monday through Saturday for morning and afternoon schedules. Walking dogs helps keep me healthy physically and mentally. I feed and water mine twice a day in one specific area. I play with their toys or balls for extra exercise and care. I make time to work on training words for commands to teach them also.
“Sydney was great!! Very communicative, friendly, and responsive. She gave plenty of updates and lots of love to my little one. Would definitely recommend her! She also left my space nice and clean upon leaving which is very much appreciated and in my opinion going the extra mile.”
About: I am an owner of 2 energetic dogs - both huskies! I have always been a huge animal lover since I was a kid growing up in an household full of fur babies and aquatic creatures. I understand the importance of wanting your babies to be safe and well taken care of while you are away. I heard about Rover through a friend who has been an active caretaker since 2019 and she suggested I begin my journey in building great relationships with owners and gain their pets trust and love! I have experience in providing care to dogs of all sizes, cats, Guinea pigs and aquatic babies (fun fact, I’m also a PADI diver!). I am super excited to begin my services and give you and your animals a positive and comfortable experience 💕 I am a full time songwriter with lots of flexibility to watch your fur babies! I will be available to walk your pups, house sit, and or provide drop in visits :) My home is also equipped with a doggy door so access to the backyard is super convenient! I am accustomed to keeping a good eye on my pups and now that they live with their grandparents, I have all the amenities your babies will need for a clean and safe environment. My home is also located in a gated community so taking them out for walks is safe (very little vehicle access!). There is also an off-leash dog park 8 minutes away if ever needed :)
About: When I was 15 I would take care of my neighbors dog, make sure she was fed, walked & played with her. I frequently take care of my aunts dog when she’s asks for my services. I currently have a full time job. I work Monday-Thursday 7am-5pm and Fridays 7am-12:30pm. I’m off weekends. I’m available for any pet services around my schedule. Unfortunately due to my small apartment I’m unable to care for a pet in my home. If caring for a pet in a clients home, I will follow all house rules, pets diet recommendations, play time & make sure they are secured within the premises.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Pacoima
At the meet and greet Hector took time to ask thoughtful questions about Rhea, her routine, special needs. He made sure we left him contact info in case of an emergency. He was attentive, responsible and easy to communicate with. We felt very comfortable leaving Rhea with Hector. He kept us updated throughout the evening with texts, pictures and videos. We would definitely recommend Hector and will happily book with him again.
We have NEVER felt so safe and comfortable leaving our boys with anyone. Veronica is a Godsend. She sent us pics every day. When our six year old asked whether the dogs missed us, she sent us an “e-card” from “them” to us. Our younger dog is very wary of new people, but warmed up to Veronica faster than he ever has to anyone. Our house was in perfect order when we got back. We love her!
Yeilin was outstanding and followed all of our instructions carefully while caring for our pets. Although we didn’t have the chance to meet in person before I had to leave, she took wonderful care of my dogs and treated them with kindness and attention. She was always on time for meals and potty breaks, respected our home, and communicated well throughout the stay. I would highly recommend Yeilin to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.
Tony was the absolute best! He was incredibly attentive and caring with my doggos—they loved him. He followed all of my instructions to a tee, kept me in the loop, and always responded quickly. I have an older, injured dog, and he did an amazing job caring for her. I really appreciated his clear communication and the photo updates. I would absolutely book with him again.
Alondra took a good care of my dog for 3 days that I was out of town. It was my first time leaving my dog with someone other than family and she loved Alondra . To me it was very important that my dog feels safe and not anxious when I’m out for few days and I’m glad I found Alondra that could stay with TaTa at my place so TaTa felt so relaxed. 🐶🙏🏻😍
We had a great experience with Sonia! She stayed at our place for about 10 days and took wonderful care of our cat November. Communication was super easy, and she kept us updated with photos while we were gone. November was happy and relaxed when we got home, and the house was just as we left it. Highly recommend and would definitely book again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Pacoima is $44 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $56 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 November 2026, there are 12,151 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Pacoima. 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 Pacoima 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 Pacoima 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 Pacoima 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Pacoima. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% 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.
