“Thank goodness for Adam. After our initial pet sitter fell through at the last minute for a holiday weekend Adam was available on a moments notice to watch our dog and two cats and even do a meet and greet beforehand as well. He’s was responsive, reliable and constantly sending updates and pictures. So we knew we left our pets in good hands. We returned to a clean and tidy home and happy and safe pets and we couldn’t be more appreciative. We would definitely book Adam again.”
“Gosh, I can’t say enough positive things. I was very nervous about using Rover after a bizarre experience 7 years ago. I also have a lot of anxiety leaving my dog with anyone because she has a history of pancreatitis and the smallest thing can cause a flare up. Kat sent tons of pictures - pictures of the food, poop, playing, walks- all of which were very helpful at alleviating my worries and showing me that everything was ok, things were normal, Ziggy (my dog) was doing great. When I came home, I think Ziggy was actually disappointed I wasn’t Kat! 🤣 Definitely recommend Kat. She really went above and beyond 💜”
“5 +++ stars for Tommy's amazing care!! We are visiting LA and needed to find someone to stay with 2 dogs on short notice, as they were anxious staying alone in a new place. We absolutely won the lottery when we connected with Tommy! He was so responsive and flexible, and very thoughtful about the best way to greet the dogs to minimize their anxiety about meeting a new person. His patience, kindness, and ability to help dogs relax in his presence are unmatched. Tommy knew exactly how to support the dogs (one of whom has "big feelings") and before long the dogs were napping and snuggling with Tommy on the couch :) Tommy sent great updates and photos which really put me at ease while I was away. Any dogs (and pet parents) would be fortunate to be Tommy's clients!!”
About: I have a lot of experience with cats all ages and personalities, as well as dogs. I can assist also with medication and depending on the temperament on the cat even inje tions. I am a founding member of a dog/cat rescue place in Peru which I manage remotely and I am a volunteer at Stray Cat Alliance in Los Angeles. I am a proud mom of 5 cats, three of which were rescued overseas and brought to L.A. I can handle all types of personalities of cats and just love being. around them. I don't own a dog right now, but I have fostered several ones until they found their forever home, which is one of the most amazing experiences. I grew up in a house where we always had at least 4 dogs and 4 cats so I love helping animals and taking care of them. I work part time from home as a video editor so my schedule is flexible to accommodate bookings any time of the day. I have a car. I recently opened for House sitting. I came stay overnight and during the day I wpuld I would go out for moments to eat or change at home or for 30 minutes visits if I have a booking. However I will be most of the day. I dont do House sitting during the holidays because I have too many boomings. For longer stays we can discuss to have a discount. I will take the time to let the cat be comfortable around me at their own pace. Each cat is different. Some are shy some are playful.
“Brannon did an amazing job with our two high-energy young dogs (40lbs and 50lbs), even braving the rain to make sure they were cared for while we were out of town for the holidays. Strongly recommend Brannon!”
“Georgina was absolutely exceptional while caring for our dog, Kobe, during our 13-day trip. From start to finish, she went above and beyond in every way. She carefully administered Kobe’s medication, followed all of our instructions to the letter, and treated him with so much love and attention—it gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Beyond pet care, Georgina took incredible care of our home as well. She watered our plants, brought in the mail, and managed the garbage—everything was spotless and perfectly maintained when we returned. Her attention to detail is truly unmatched. What stood out most was her communication. She kept us consistently updated with messages and lots of photos, which made being away so much easier. We always felt in the loop and confident that everything was being handled beautifully. Georgina is responsible, thoughtful, and incredibly thorough. We feel so lucky to have found her and she will absolutely be our go-to sitter moving forward. Highly, highly recommend!”
“Vincent was wonderful my dog!!! He kept me updated the whole time and let me know what was going on with him, monitoring his food intake and even his poops! I have a great dane that is very sensitive and this was the first time using Rover and I'm very happy!! This was a last minute booking and he was able to make time for 2 visits to meet my pup before house sitting! Great communicator! And left home looking great! Definitely will use him again!”
About: Cat dad to two wonderful children. In my spare time I rescue, foster, and find homes for cats. I’m comfortable with all sorts of cats, from lazy to spicy, I always let the cat choose their own pace in how they want to interact with me. While I don’t have a dog right now, I grew up surrounded by them and have a lot of experience taking care, walking, and playing with them. I have experience with senior animals and giving medicine when needed. I will treat your fur babies with the love and care I give my own. I’m a copywriter/proofreader who works from home so I’m happy to fit your animal care taking needs into my very flexible schedule. I’m very patient and let the animals warm up to me at their own pace. Whether that’s on walks or when dropping in for a home visit.
About: I have grown up with pets from as little as I can remember! Frequently taking care of my own pets, to sitting for friends, has made me confident in my experience to provide service to the animals that is loving, caring, and comforting to all parties involved! Currently searching for jobs as I just moved to the Studio City area, so my availability is as open as can be! Can work whenever is preferred for the owner's! I love to appeal to any animal and their needs, therefore any adjustment needed is one I am happy to make! If they need more walks, extra care, or any other specific attention!
About: I’ve grown up with pets, both cats and dogs, and have extensive experience caring for animals with a wide range of personalities. I am reliable, attentive and committed to treating your beloved pets as the family members they are. Although I work full time during the day, I finish relatively early, making me perfectly available for reliable pet care during the afternoons, evenings and weekends. I typically care for pets in their own homes, providing daily walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, and affection. I put great care into keeping dogs active and content, while ensuring cats feel happy, comfortable, and safe in their familiar space.
“Wendy did such an amazing job looking after our two pups while my wife and I were out of town for a week. Wendy consistently above and beyond our expectations. She was extremely communicative, sent us tons of adorable pics, and was very considerate, leaving our home spotless. We could tell that the dogs were in great hands and having a good time. It was so much easier to enjoy our trip knowing our pups were safe and stress free. We will definitely reach out to Wendy again the next time we leave town.”
“Jehnean is a pro through and through! She was fantastic with our senior pets that require some special attention. Not only that but she left our place spotless which is hugely appreciated after a long trip away from home. Highly recommend Jehnean for your needs!”
“Caleb took a last minute request from us and did an amazing job! Our two senior frenchies require extra care and attention and he was great with them. Our girl Peach who especially skeptical of people loved him. highly recommend booking with him!”
“André was amazing with communication and taking care of little guy while he was sick and needed to strangers attention. Would definitely reach out for more help again, thank you!!”
“Cordelia was great with Rocky! She took the time for a meet and greet, communicated really well and seemed to really enjoy caring for a dog. We would recommend her and hope to use her again!”
“Hayley was amazing with my Sadie girl. Sadie has definitely made a friend. Hayley was on time and had great communication while we were out. I’ll definitely be booking her again in the future.”
“Gaby is the best! We were nervous leaving our puppy, Malibu, with someone for an extended amount of time and she was amazing! She looked after her and understood all of our concerns, gave us consistent pictures and updates and even continued her training to help us out. Malibu loves her and warmed up to her so quickly. We’ll be using her again and again!💖”
“Leah was great! She was available fairly last minute for me after a cancellation, came over before our booking to meet my pup, and sent pictures throughout the sit. Would definitely use her again!”
About: I’ve always loved animals and grew up with dogs! I have experience caring for dogs with a variety of personalities, ages, and needs. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual routine, whether that means keeping up with an energetic pup, providing extra patience and care for senior dogs, or giving a nervous dog time to feel comfortable in a new environment. I’m also comfortable with administering medications when needed and making sure every pet gets plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and, most importantly, lots of love! I work from home three days a week, which gives me plenty of flexibility and time to care for dogs throughout the day. I’m able to give them lots of attention, regular potty breaks and walks, playtime, and companionship rather than leaving them alone for long periods. I live in a comfortable apartment in a quiet, residential area that’s perfect for daily walks and getting some fresh air. There’s also a dog park nearby for dogs who enjoy socializing and playing, as long as it’s a good fit for their personality and comfort level. I’m happy to care for pets in my home or in their home and will always follow their usual routines, preferences, and individual needs to help them feel safe and comfortable!

Kari was a dream! From the moment we met her, she was very calm and patient with our two anxious girls who are terrified of strangers. She took lots of photos and updated us during our three days away. The house was just as clean as we left it. We’re so happy to have had her and plan on hiring her in the future for sure. So kind and professional. ☺️🩷🩷
Maizy was SO wonderful with our senior (but still spry!) dog Sadie and our two teenage cats! I never worried once about my animals or my home while I was on vacation and the animals absolutely adored them. Maizy handled everything from walks, feeding, play time and light medical care for our senior doggie— all while house sitting for us (getting mail, etc.) I am so beyond grateful and satisfied with the care they gave to our animals. Maizy is truly so respectful, caring and supportive. I would recommend them a thousand times over and would definitely reach back out for babysitting in the future.
Hayley did a great job with my two big fluffy dogs! It was the first time I have gone away in four years because I didn't have someone I was comfortable with watching my dogs Beau and Malibu. It was the first time I have used Rover, and I was happy I have found someone who I can trust with my pups. She was very reliable and communicated with me well with texts and pics. I look forward to having Hayley help out again in the future!
Sophia went above and beyond caring for our senior pup while we were away for an extended trip. She sent frequent updates and was able to make decisions for our pup’s care that were thoughtful and improved her condition. We came home to a happy and healthy dog and would book with Sophia again in a heartbeat!
Emily is a fantastic dog sitter, and I couldn’t recommend her more highly. She stayed at my home for 3 days and took care of my two rambunctious dogs. She was professional, conscientious, responsible, and incredibly communicative throughout her stay, always sending thoughtful updates and pictures that gave me peace of mind. She was punctual, attentive, and clearly took excellent care of my dogs, while also being very respectful of my home and leaving it even cleaner than she found it! I would definitely recommend Emily to anyone looking for a trustworthy, reliable dog sitter to care for their pets and home.
With experience as a dog owner herself, Kate is a fantastic and incredibly reassuring dog sitter. She is gentle, fun, and firm — exactly what my pup requires. She’s reliable, kept me updated, and gave me peace of mind while apart from my dog. I highly recommend Kate, especially because she’s also an awesome person. Thank you Kate!
We were gone for 6 days & Wynn has never been away from us that long. After meeting Taylor you could tell that this wasn't just a job, but a passion. We received "Taylor" made text messages, pictures, & videos from her EVERY day. We even had a special video of Wynn dancing for his sister's, our daughter, wedding. In addition to providing for Wynn, Taylor watered my plants, & we walked into a house that was cleaner than when we left. Taylor is the BEST!
We couldn't have asked for better care for River. Michele kept him happily engaged from morning to night, and it was clear she genuinely enjoyed his company. She was attentive, warm, and completely reliable, and we came home to a content, well-loved puppy. We're grateful and will gladly book her again.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly recommend Lauren! Lauren stayed with my cat, Boo, and house-sat for the weekend, and she went above and beyond. She took photos and kept me updated the entire time, so I never had to worry. Boo was happy and cared for, and my home was in great shape when I got back. I'd trust her again in a heartbeat. Love her! 💛
The pups loved her. They are rowdy and fun and active and mischievous but she handled them like a champ. They were happy and active and loved her company. We really appreciated her taking great care of our guys and gal. We could not believe the pictures of our Audrey who is so shy rolling around on the grass and having a ball.
Waldo, my dog, was very comfortable with Adam from our first meet and greet. Waldo actually crawled up behind him in the chair and fell asleep on Adam's shoulder! We knew then that Waldo was in grest hands with Adam. Adam did a wonderful job at house sitting, taking Waldo on walks, and cuddling with him. Adam sent pictures and highlights about each day. When we arrived home, the house was clean and Waldo was a happy dog. I would definitely hire Adam again and highly recommend him to others.
Jade was so lovely and communicative with me while staying with my girls! She was persistent and patient with my kitty who has to take a medicine that she hates and I was so appreciative. She left my space clean and tidy! Overall, it was so lovely being able to travel and trust that Jade was taking fantastic care of my babies!

FAQs for House Sitting - Studio City
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Studio City is $56 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $95 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 October 2026, there are 13,353 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Studio 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 Studio 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 Studio 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 Studio 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 , 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 .
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 .
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.
