“I am so grateful to Ms. Sofia for taking such a good care of our Milo and Tyson. We were desperate for someone, at the last minute, to house sit them for 4 days. She has shown great responsibility with our home and our fur babies. They loved her! Sofia updated us every few hours with quick text and pictures. She walked them, played with them and fed them as according to our instructions. It is rather nerve wracking to trust one with your home and animals that you adore, but she has gone and above and we will continue to book her. Thank you Sofia for all your care and love for Tyson and Milo! You are their new best friend!”

In addition, she ensures to clean up after herself and leave the house exactly how it was when she arrived.”
“Rebecca is a fantastic sitter who took great care of both our house and our new cat Baby Lizard. She sent us lots of photos, did face time calls when asked, stuck to our vet's dietary instructions, and gave Blizzard lots of cuddles but also just chill time and space. She also helped out with managing our home, taking out trash, cleaning litter boxes and making sure the house stayed safe while we were on our trip. We will DEFINITELY be booking Rebecca again to watch our Baby Lizzy!”
“Hayley was amazing! So communicative and thorough in the details, and even had some helpful insight for some health stuff with our dog that we weren’t aware of! We’re very much looking forward to having her watch Willow again. ?”
“Daylin did a wonderful job again. This was my second time booking with her, and she was just as amazing as the first. She sent me daily photos of my dog and kept me updated on everything that was going on, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She clearly cares about the pets she watches. On top of that, she left my apartment extremely clean, which I really appreciated. I can’t wait to book with her again. Highly recommend”

“Alex took care of our dogs for over a week while were out of town. He is exceptional and went above and beyond what we had expected from a dog sitter/walker. Alex sent us photos/report cards of our dogs daily, and even made a few videos for us to enjoy of our dogs. We are so lucky to have found Alex and grateful for the excellent care he always provides to our dogs. Thank you Alex!”
About: I may be newer on Rover, but I am not new to loving animals! I have always had an eagerness to learn and have developed a LOT of patience over the years! I have grown up around many animals in my family, and have formed many bonds with all kinds of furry friends on here so far. Finally, my reliability and adaptability make me a great fit for fulfilling your pup's needs :-) Available Mon-Fri after 2:30PM & Sat-Sun after 5PM! Always feel free to send me your schedule and I will do my best to work around both of ours to be able to show up for you! While I am unable to bring home any other animals myself, I would love to care for your animal in your home, wherever in the house it may be! Communication will be crucial for me to service your furbaby as necessary!
“Jack was a complete professional during his recent dog sitting of our two dogs. He stayed at our home and was extremely attentive and respectful. Jack followed all care instructions and went over and beyond by taking our dogs to the park and playing with them frequently. He provided us daily updates and photos during our vacation that kept us at ease, especially while traveling out of state. I cannot recommend him enough, a gentleman in every way.”
“We were so happy with Tracy. She is very professional and I felt very comfortable leaving my furry babies with her. The dogs loved her immediately. I would fully recommend her. And I would not hesitate to use her again.”
“Kirsten is simply fabulous! She sat with our senior shih tzu who needs special attention, meds twice a day, hand feeding, the whole ridiculous spoiled pup scenario. She was so sweet and kind, enthusiastic and organized like a boss! We were so impressed with her professional approach and preparation. We would absolutely trust Kirsten with our baby any time!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - South Whittier
Kelli went above and beyond for my (scaredy) cat, leaving her food in places she could easily access so she would easily eat from her hiding place. Her communication was very thorough and ongoing, including a friendly meet n greet where she won over my preschooler, daily texts, and a photo when my cat finally showed herself! Kelli is an excellent pet sitter who I can definitely recommend.
Ashley was the best person to care for our pet, Leo. She was responsive which allowed me to be reassured trying Rover for the first time. She provided daily updates. We secured boarding in our home and she was attentive with the care she provided Leo and our home. She brought us peace of mind during our trip. Highly recommend, Ashley!
Our first time using Rover and Bethany was amazing! We couldn't have asked for a better experience & are so grateful to her. She took such great care of both our pets and our home while we were away. She constantly provided updates with videos & pictures of our pets and did not hesitate to reach out if she had a question or concern. She went above & beyond to ensure our pets kept their daily routines & felt safe in her care. We highly recommend her & can't thank her enough!
We had a wonderful first-time experience using Rover, and we feel so lucky to have found Amy. She provided frequent updates and photos of our fur baby—just enough to reassure us that he was doing well and give us peace of mind while we were on vacation. Amy truly went above and beyond. She spent quality time cuddling with him, took him on extra walks, and even kindly took out the trash for us. We will definitely be booking Amy again in the future and highly recommend her to our coworkers and friends!

FAQs for House Sitting - South Whittier
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in South Whittier on Rover is $69.93 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 15,275 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across South Whittier. 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 South Whittier 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 South Whittier 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 South Whittier 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.

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.
