“Lane took such amazing care of our old gal, Penny! She sent tons of photo updates, spent lots of quality time with her, and walked her every day. We felt so at ease knowing Penny was in such caring hands. Would absolutely hire Lane again and highly recommend her!”
“Alisa was absolutely amazing and took amazing care of our dog and two cats while we were away. She is highly communicative, responsive, and proactive in every way possible. She gave us incredible peace of mind while we were on a week long vacation, taking care of our home and pets. We cannot recommend Alisa highly enough, she is absolutely outstanding!”
“Joanne is always great! Highly recommend. She is super detail oriented, kind, gentle with the doggies and punctual. She is the best! She even arrived at 745am to go through medications with me. Thank you joannne!”
“We’re so lucky to have Katherine as our pet-sitter! Our cat Dooney loves her. We were gone for 2 weeks and had no worries about Dooney, knowing he was well-cared for. The pictures she took of him were very reassuring and better than many of the pics I took of my vacation!”
“Emily was amazing as always! She stayed with our dogs for the entire day, making sure they were fed, watered, let out to potty, and kept company. She even kept an eye on our foster dog who is recovering from spay surgery and sent lots of updates! Highly recommend.”
“We just took our first family vacation since pre-pandemic, and it was a huge relief to leave our furbabies in Kim's loving care. She stayed overnight for a whole week with our pup and senior kitty. I was worried about our cat turning 19 while we were away because he was losing weight before our trip. When we returned, he had gained weight, and he looked healthier. Kim has a magic touch! She also cared for our guinea pigs, which are rather high maintenance, so I am very appreciative of her dedication to them. I'm so glad we found Kim so we have a trusted sitter for our next trip.”
About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. I grew up with fur babies and at one point had four dogs at once, so caring for dogs has always been a natural and meaningful part of my life. 🐾 My experience goes beyond being a pet parent. I’ve worked part-time at a dog boarding facility while attending vet tech classes to go to Veterinary school, giving me hands-on experience caring for dogs of different sizes, ages, personalities, and needs. I also have experience with dog sitting, dog walking, feeding, playtime, exercise, and providing lots of love and attention. My love for animals is genuinely a part of who I am. I’ve even offered to walk my neighbors’ dogs and take them along on hikes simply because I enjoy spending time with them! My compassion for animals is also one of the reasons I chose a vegan lifestyle. Being on Rover gives me an opportunity to do something I truly love while being helpful, dependable, and trustworthy for other pet parents. I know how important it is to feel completely comfortable with the person you’re trusting with your fur baby, and I want every owner to know their pet is being cared for as if they were my own. It’s also meaningful for me personally because working with animals again brings me closer to a dream I’ve carried with me for years—returning to veterinary school and continuing my journey of caring for animals. Whether your pup needs a walking buddy, an adventure partner, playtime, cuddles, or simply someone they can feel safe and comfortable with, I’d love to be that person for them. 🐶🐾 Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine because I’ve always structured my schedule around my own dogs’ needs. My fur babies are like my kids, so their walks, meals, potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and overall well-being are priorities—not something I simply fit in when I have extra time. I would approach caring for your fur baby the same way. I’m very mindful of keeping dogs on the routine they’re already comfortable with, and I’ll plan my schedule around their needs and any instructions you provide. I’m also the pet parent who loves including my dogs in my day whenever possible! With your permission and depending on your pup’s personality and routine, I’d be happy to include them in dog-friendly activities like walks, hikes, outdoor adventures, or even a dog-friendly shopping trip. 🐾 Whether your pup loves being active and exploring or prefers a quieter, more relaxed routine, their individual needs will always come first. My goal is for them to feel loved, included, safe, and cared for while they’re with me. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my goal is to make their fur baby feel as comfortable, safe, and loved as possible while their parent is away. I understand how important consistency is for dogs, so I’ll do my best to maintain their normal routine—including feeding times, walks, potty breaks, playtime, medications or special instructions, and of course plenty of love and attention. 🐾❤️ I’m very attentive and timely, and I understand that every dog is different. No request or routine is “too much” when it comes to making sure your fur baby receives the care they’re accustomed to. I’ll carefully follow any instructions provided and pay attention to their behavior, comfort level, and individual needs. I’ll also treat your home with the same care and respect I would my own. I believe communication is extremely important, so I’m happy to provide updates, photos, and check-ins so you can feel comfortable knowing your fur baby is safe, happy, and being well cared for. Most importantly, I want your pet to feel like their routine hasn’t been disrupted just because you’re away. My goal is to give them dependable, loving care while giving you peace of mind. 🐶
“Always so kind, courteous and reliable. The furry kids are unpredictable and she is whatever they need. House always in lovely shape, cute pics, the whole deal. Thanks Natalia!”
“Adrianne is awesome! We have an anxious reactive dog who is scared of strangers, but Adrianne was very patient and calm with him as he got used to her. We had recurring drop-ins to get our dog comfortable before Adrianne housesat for us, and she was great at communicating - she would let us know in advance if she couldn’t make it on particular drop-in day and was flexible about rescheduling. Our dog also takes medication daily and she was great with that. She sent daily updates and let our place very clean and organized. Definitely recommend and would book her again!”
“Emma did a very good job with her first overnight house sitting job with my dog Violet and kitty Charlie. She asked Qs when necessary and was responsible with caring for my home. I returned to happy pets and a well kept house. Emma was on top of reading the Google doc I share with all of my sitters for schedules, logistics, etc. and I would hire her in the future. Thank you Emma :)”
“We cannot say enough wonderful things about Betsy! She is incredibly communicative and even sent plenty of pics of our 2 lovable mutts while we were away for three days. We are beyond grateful to have found Betsy.”
“Aarti did such a great job taking care of our older dog Duke. She followed all of our instructions and provided us with lots of updates and photos throughout her stay. We could tell she’s an experienced pet sitter and would definitely recommend her if you’re looking for a great house/dog sitter! Thanks Aarti!”
About: As a lifelong dog lover and proud dog mom, I know every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. What sets me apart is my experience caring for senior dogs and dogs with disabilities, which has taught me the importance of patience, attentiveness, and compassionate care. I’m comfortable administering extra support, moving at your pet’s pace, and paying close attention to the little details that help them feel safe and comfortable. Whether your dog loves long walks, gentle strolls, playtime, or simply having a calm companion nearby, I’ll tailor my care to what makes them happiest. I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family, keeping you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is simple: to make sure your pet feels loved, secure, and cared for, even when you can’t be there. I work from home, which means I can give your pup plenty of personalized attention throughout the day instead of just dropping in for the essentials. We typically start the morning with a neighborhood walk, followed by breakfast and some time to relax. In the afternoon, we’ll enjoy playtime, enrichment activities, or another potty break, depending on your dog’s energy level. Evenings include a trip to the park or another walk, dinner, and, of course, lots of cuddles before winding down for the night. I understand that every dog has their own routine, so I’m happy to adapt my schedule to match what they’re used to. My goal is to make your pet feel comfortable, loved, and right at home while you’re away. I believe the best pet care starts with maintaining the routine your dog already knows and loves. Before each booking, I take the time to learn about your pet’s schedule, feeding routine, exercise needs, medications, favorite activities, and any special instructions so they feel as comfortable as possible. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a calm, safe environment with plenty of supervision since I work from home. Your dog will enjoy regular walks, playtime, potty breaks, enrichment, and lots of affection throughout the day. I have experience caring for senior dogs and dogs with disabilities, so I’m comfortable adjusting activities and providing extra patience and support when needed. When caring for pets in your home, I treat your space with the same respect I would my own. I stick closely to your pet’s normal routine, keep their environment clean, and make sure they receive the attention, exercise, and companionship they’re used to. I’ll also send regular photo updates and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and in good hands.
“Blake was awesome and made sure my dogs got in nice long walks and plenty of playtime to get out their energy. He also went out of his way to accommodate my last minute schedule. I definitely recommend booking him and will book him again myself!”
“Thank goodness for Grace! She is the dream pet sitter. She was so helpful, communicative, and most importantly made me feel so much better about leaving my kitty. So grateful for her!”
“Chelsea went above and beyond to take care of Winston and Miso! Not only did she check in frequently, but she shared tons of photos and videos, and even did training with our pup. Winston can be a handful, and we felt at ease knowing Chelsea was watching after him. We would happily trust her to take care of our little ones next time we are away! Thank you so much, Chelsea!”
“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!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Toluca Lake
Orion is More than we could ever ask for a pet sitter. Our plans changed last minute after a small dog fight where he was originally going to stay at, and our fur baby was going through a very difficult phase afterwards. He was scared and aggressive, and we unfortunately had to leave him with a stranger watching him. Orion became no stranger, and tried his very best to be a warm stable rock while we were away. His patience and kindness is no joke, and his constant updates made our trip possible to be enjoyed. The night that we came back, Umbo had Orion’s sock in his mouth and was whining walking around the house. Safe to say that Umbo, despite being sad that we were gone, was happy that Orion was the one that took care of him.
Hayley is an angel. I cannot overstate how anxious I am leaving my pets in anyone’s care. Hayley was super communicative with everything she did, every outing, every walk, and meals. She gave my dog his medication with no problem. She sent lots of pictures and checked in whenever I needed extra assurance. She also went above and beyond and checked on my garden and did some little home chores that I needed. I’m so grateful. 10/10 would recommend.
Manuel was absolutely wonderful! He was incredibly attentive, reliable, communicative, and clearly treated them like they were his own. Both of them were happy, relaxed, and very well cared for when I got home. I would trust him with Hugo and Willow again in a heartbeat and can’t recommend him highly enough!
Joanne was amazing. There was meet and greet before the actual day of dog sitting. She gave us frequent updates and pictures of our little one throughout the day. She arrived on time in the morning. She followed all our instructions. Happy to have met her through Rover.
Alexandria is the best! We continue to be so happy that she’s available to sit for our dog. She’s super thoughtful and takes such good care of him. Sends us nightly check-ins so we know all is well but doesn’t over-communicate. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter!
Katherine was very responsible and thorough. She sent me frequent pictures and updates of my cat while she was staying with her. I felt like Katherine made Cleo her priority for the days she was booked to pet sit and I appreciated the open lines of communication. I did not worry about Cleo's well-being while I was away because I knew she and Katherine became fast friends.
Kendi is so patient with my reactive dog, my super independent dog and my “must carry me I’m tired” dog 😅 Whether it’s walks, keeping them all calm during a party or working to earn Benji’s trust, Kendi is truly a friend to my puppers and I am so glad we found her.

FAQs for House Sitting - Toluca Lake
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Toluca Lake on Rover is $66.6 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 13,616 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Toluca Lake. 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 Toluca Lake 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 Toluca Lake 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 Toluca Lake 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Toluca Lake. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% 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.
