Yoo Jee is the best! She took excellent care of our pets and home! One of our bathrooms flooded unfortunately while we were gone and she took care of everything. We will definitely hire her again.

Angel did an amazing job watching my pup for 2 days at my place. She kept me up to date throughout each day and sent plenty of photos. I appreciated her responsiveness and Lucky seems to have enjoyed having her around! He received plenty of attention from Angel and kept him great company. My place was in order when I came back and I wouldn’t hesitate to book her for another dog/home sitting!

About: What sets me apart is my deep commitment to following your exact routine. I am attentive to detail whether your pet requires a strict medication schedule, extra potty breaks, or highly specific care instructions. I truly love animals and focus on giving them my undivided attention, plenty of affection, and the dedicated time they deserve. I am able to care for animals at least 5 times out of the week for 4-6 hours. Depending on the days required, I do have school at certain times a week. I have hobbies and obligations to do as well. I believe 4-6 hours is time that I do have depending on the day of course as mentioned. I could possibly even spend a full day if needed. Again this depends on the day of the week and month. The reason I can’t take in animals at my own home is because I simply don’t have enough space or else I totally would! Also, the baby of the bunch doesn’t do well with new comers. I feed my cats at least 3 times a day they beg like they haven’t eaten in days I might add. They often let me know when they want things by getting my attention and running to the bowl or to their toys or the door to be let out. They have a litter box with cat pellets so It doesn’t stink up the entire house. Laser pointer sessions and dangling cat toys are their favorite. Yes of course the box the cat trees come in are more fun than the actual tree. Cat trees are replaced often, my cats love to chat with me when I talk they talk back. They love wet food every twice a week with many ingredients. My dad’s dog I take care of while he’s on 1 year vacation loves hiking trails that I usually walk on haha. He prefers the best of the best kinds of dog food won’t eat anything else! He’s a good boy and they’re sometimes good cats since they like to knock things over every once in a while or try and pick at my food when I’m on a quick bathroom break. All in all it’s easy to take care of animals in my opinion my cats were not easy to take care of as kittens they needed a lot done and one of them always had issues with her bladder and glands. She’s better now thanks to God and me for the outrageous bills. I’d do it for every animal if I could but I just don’t have enough resources or money to do so. I do love animals and they deserve joy, a wide environment, and amazing care while they’re living and breathing.

Carlos took wonderful care of our 8 year old dog and our new puppy on very short notice, and we couldn’t have been more grateful. From the start, he was incredibly thoughtful, asking detailed follow up questions to really understand each dog’s specific routines, preferences, and needs. It was clear he genuinely cared about providing the best possible care. He stayed in our home during the booking and was very respectful of the space, leaving everything clean and well cared for. What stood out most was his availability and attentiveness, especially with such a young puppy who requires constant supervision and structure. Knowing our dogs were getting so much time, attention, and care in their own home gave us real peace of mind. We would absolutely book with Carlos again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and compassionate sitter.

William was great with the doggos and very communicative. My pup is slow to warm to people so it’s saying a lot that he was patient with her and she was kissing and snuggling him in a short time. Both dogs were sad to see him go!

Kim is truly one of a kind. She watched our sweet girl while we were out of town, and to say she went above and beyond would be an understatement. Our dog has a seizure disorder and follows a strict medication schedule—not exactly easy care. But Kim handled everything with total confidence and care, allowing us to relax knowing Coco was in the best hands. During our trip, Coco had some stomach, upset which is not uncommon for her, and Kim responded with such grace and compassion. She not only cleaned everything thoroughly, but gave us many updates on how Coco was feeling. We certainly did not expect Kim to clean up at the level that she did and we are forever grateful. On top of everything, Kim took the initiative to wash all the bedsheets and towels and somehow managed to leave our home spotless, even better than we left it. What touched us most was the compassion behind everything she did while taking care of Coco. On top of it all, she gifted us a breathtaking hand-drawn sketch of our beloved girl. It brought tears to our eyes—so much love captured in every line. That drawing, and Kim’s kindness will stay with us forever. Thank you, Kim!!!

This is the second time Katherine housesat for our dog and she was great! Our dog is anxious and reactive to strangers so we had Katherine come for a few drop ins beforehand so our dog could get used to her. She was very patient with him and got him to trust her. During her housesit, she sent us very frequent updates and communicated well. She left our apartment very organized and even washed the bedsheets she used! Would definitely recommend and book her again.

About: I grew up with mostly dogs, but also ended up with three cats. I’ve pet sat for family and friends. But more recently have helped dog sit while my clients were on vacation. They were senior dogs who needed medication and some extra love and care. I’m currently an afternoon nanny 2pm-6pm on Week days. This will allow me to do early mornings and midday visits or walks. I am open to evening visits as well. My weekends are some what flexible, with enough advance notice I am free to visit or petsit if schedule permits. If I’m going to walk a dog, I make sure that arrive promptly, take them for a walk and provide update. I’ll make sure to be respectful of your space and privacy. Same would apply if I’m doing a drop in for a kitty. Make sure your pets are safe and happy. When I sit for a family I can do drop ins or spend the night. I walk in the morning and feed your pets and then go to work in the afternoon. Come back walk and play and do dinner. I’ll make sure to clean up after my visits and respect your home.

Daniela was wonderful with my cat and I’d definitely recommend her to anyone in need of a pet sitter. She stayed for two nights in my home while I was away. She was respectful of my space and left everything in great condition when she left. My cat was well looked after and I received plenty of updates and photos from Daniela which gave me great peace of mind. :) Overall Daniela is kind, thorough, communicative and most of all really cares about animals and knows how to take care of them. I felt my cat was in great hands!

About: It has been one year and a half since I found and adopted my first ever cat and became a cat mom (cat mom of two now). Becoming a pet parent has truly showed me what it's like to look after and care for your fur baby. I KNOW THEY ARE OUR EVERYTHING and want the best care possible for them when we are gone, so, when you are gone, I will be that person looking after your fur babies. I'll be giving them the necessary care they need. I'll take them out on their walks, play with them, of course feeding, as well as keeping them entertained/active. I do have experience in giving oral medication and eye drops if you ever need me to do so. I'll always treat your fur babies like my own and give them a lot of love while you are away. I am available Monday through Sunday, flexible when it comes to time. I work from home, so, I have no problem being available when needed. Getting to know the person that could possibly be looking after your pet is very important, as it is for me to know about what type of pet I could possibly be looking after. So it would be greatly appreciated if you were able to do meet and greets. If not, I do ask that you be honest and tell me of any behaviors your pet has for my safety, your pets, and those in your neighborhood. If your pet requires special care or needs to be given medication, please notify me!! I know how it can be worrying when leaving your pet to be looked after by new people that is why I like to provide pics and video updates of how and what your pet is doing throughout my time looking after your pet.

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.

To be honest, I was terrified of having a stranger live in our house, so this booking was a big deal for us. We had William stay with our two golden retrievers and cat, as well as care for our outdoor turtle and both indoor and outdoor plants for 10 days. He kept us updated, sending photos of our animals whenever we asked. He took great care of the house and maintained open communication. He always quickly responded to our texts. He is a great housesitter. Most of all, though, he is a true dog lover. I felt confident that my Goldens were being loved and cared for. I will definitely book him again and would 100% recommend to anyone else.

Carlos stayed at our house while we were away on a trip and made sure everything was taken care of as if it was his own home. He even watered my plants and an outdoor garden for me AND searched through some papers to help find one I'd accidentally left behind on my desk!

Not only did Wilma absolutely love her, but Rachael also brought in my mail, watered my plants, and made sure everything at home was taken care of while I was away. She sent multiple photos and updates every single day, which gave me so much peace of mind. I never had to wonder how Wilma was doing because I always knew she was happy, loved, and in great hands. Being away from your dog can be stressful, but thanks to Rachael, I wasn't worried at all. I can't recommend her highly enough, and I will definitely be booking with her again!

Troy was honestly amazing and made the whole experience so easy and stress-free. He was super communicative the entire time and kept me updated with lots of pics of my baby, which I loved. You can tell he really cares — he treated her like his own, gave her lots of cuddles, and made sure she was taken care of in every way. He also watered my plants, which I did not expect but really appreciated. There was a moment where she had a little accident, and he handled it so calmly and cleaned everything up right away without making it a big deal at all. He kept me in the loop, which I appreciated. He followed all of my instructions perfectly and was always available when I needed him. Just overall super reliable and easy to work with.

FAQs for House Sitting - Panorama City

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Panorama City on Rover is $66.6 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 12,400 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Panorama City. 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 Panorama City 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 Panorama City 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 Panorama City 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.
