“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!”
“Adam is fantastic! He was so great with our senior girl and was super relaxed and communicative. Very easy to work with and our doggie seemed like she had a great time with him. We will definitely hire Adam again in the future :)”
“Super patient with my dog and his anxiety/barking, but he warmed up by the end of the night and was playing with her which he’s never done before! I received updates all night. I’m very happy and would recommend (:”
“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!”
“Katherine was great. She knew how to comfort our little guy when he got anxious as we were leaving, took great care of him, and continually kept us updated.”
“Shenelle has now watched Benj twice and has been great with her needs! From tummy problems to building up to leaving her alone, she was great and communicative.”
“I’m so grateful I found Grace as a sitter! The pets loved her. I was really appreciative of all the consistent she sent while I was on my trip. She was really attentive to what the pets needed and asked questions when necessary (really important to me). I also loved that she did care enough to set up a time to meet the pets and make sure she the right fit for them. I can tell she really loves animals. I’ll definitely be hiring her again when I needed another sitter!”
“Kimberly is the absolute best! She is so caring, sweet, and responsible! She also keeps me updated by providing updates with pictures/videos of my fur baby! Thank you Kimberly for everything! ♥️”
“Jo was incredible and took such great care of our dog while we were away. She was very responsive and kept us well informed on how our dog was doing. We would definitely have her watch our dog again!”
About: I grew up with two Shih Tzus and was always the designated dogsitter for my aunts and cousins. I have experience with big and small dogs. I've also taken care of both puppies and elderly dogs, and I will make sure he swallows that pill! This is my main job at the moment, so my schedule is wide open! I'm free for walks all throughout the week and can do drop-ins whenever needed. I'm also available to housesit on weekends and weekdays. I don't live with any pets of my own, so I promise to care for them the way I would my own dog. Your dog has my full, undivided attention!
“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!”
“Hayley was reliable and communicated well. She bonded with Maxi right away and saw how needy he was and how much love he needed. I trust her and would book her again.”
About: Hi! I'm Charese, a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for a variety of pets, including dogs, cats, and birds. Having owned both dogs and cats throughout my life, I understand that every animal has its own personality, routine, and needs. I also have experience caring for birds and appreciate the special attention and consistency they require. In addition, I have administered medication to both dogs and cats and am comfortable caring for senior pets or those who need extra support. I know how important it is to trust someone with your beloved pet. Whether your companion enjoys walks, playtime, cuddles, quiet companionship, or a structured routine, I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. I am dependable, attentive, and committed to providing updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is receiving loving care. My goal is to treat every pet as if they were part of my own family and ensure they are happy, healthy, and comfortable in my care. I look forward to meeting you and your furry—or feathered—family members! I am currently working part time on Tuesdays and Fridays only a few hours a day and the rest from home. I am availabe most days after 1pm. I can not have the pets come to my home at this time but am willing to go to your house to take care of them. I currently live, work in a photography studio no pets allowed.
“This was our first experience with having a pet-sitter & Betsy was wonderful! She stayed at our home and cared not only for our dog, Ziggy, but our guinea pigs, fish, and plants. We could tell how much she really adored our Ziggy, sending us pics of him smiling - we know he felt loved! We highly recommend her and would definitely use her again. She is responsible, responsive, and really went above and beyond for us.”
“Victoria is an absolute gem! She took such wonderful care of my cats while I was away, including giving medication to my finicky one, no small task. She was patient, attentive, and made sure both cats felt comfortable and loved. I really appreciated her professionalism, great communication, and genuine care. I felt completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“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!”
“Chelsea was amazing. Her ability to handle our large and various number for animals with ease was the perfect fit, she even made them special enrichment treats! We came home to a happy crew. Thanks again!!”
“Maddy did a drop in visit to walk my dog and feed the dog and cat their dinner, and she was fantastic. She showed up right on time, sent updates and pictures, and was overall reliable and communicative. I would 100% recommend her and rehire her in the future.”

Blake was fantastic! He took great care of our dogs and our home while we were away. Our dogs were happy, relaxed, and very well looked after. We would happily recommend Blake to anyone looking for a reliable house sitter / pet sitter, and we'd love to have him back again.
Lane was absolutely amazing and all 4 of our animals love her!! She stayed on top of 4 different feeding schedules, a bunch of medications (including eye drops, pills, and even a cat inhaler), and navigating our unique kitchen rules. The animals all warmed to her so quickly, even our shyer cats who came running up to her by the end of her stay. She sent the best updates with such cute pictures and all the important details which helped put my anxious pet mom self at ease. It made our trip so much better knowing our pets were being taken care of by someone who cares just as much as us. Already booking our next house sitting stay with her!
Julia was great with our dog and cat! We were able to fully enjoy our trip away knowing that the pets were taken care of. Julia sent pictures and video a couple of times every day, letting us know that everything was going well. We highly recommend Julia for pet sitting and look forward to working with her again.
Christina was awesome and such a lifesaver. I ended up needing a dog sitter to stay in my apartment for nearly a week very last minute & she was super communicative & trustworthy. She came by before to do a meet & greet & followed all my care instructions perfectly. Arleda enjoyed her time with her and I totally trusted her in my home and with my best girl. She sent photos and updates daily and honestly went above and beyond with loving on my girl. I will definitely book with her again!
Carrie is the best!! She took such good care of my babies while I was away. Her communication was above and beyond, and she was so responsive. She followed all my instructions but also asked great questions that led to better care and understanding. I felt so at peace on my vacation with Carrie looking after my pets. It’s so hard for me to leave my doggo, but I feel like he had such a great time with Carrie, and it really put my mind at ease. I will definitely rebook with Carrie.
What a giant blessing Kendi is to my little pack! She was wonderful with three very different personality filled pups and each of their needs. She was patient with my newly adopted and somewhat reactive guy, accommodating to my post op senior and lovingly patient with me gal who loves her back scratches on every single lawn! I loved and appreciated the many photos, walk updates and questions if anything was unclear and her willingness to extend the care when my flight went haywire. Thank you Kendi!!! Your care is so incredibly appreciated and we hope to have you back soon!

We are so lucky that Alexandria moved to LA shortly after we did! We previously worked with her in Seattle and always had a great experience, and sure enough we had another stress-free weekend away when we left our dog with Alexandria over 4th of July 2026. She always goes above and beyond to leave the house even cleaner than she found it, stripping the bed and taking out the trash without being asked. Would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter.
Most pet sitters are great with dogs, but not all of them really know how to handle cats. Alyssa was amazing with my feisty cat. She gave her medication every single day and spent plenty of quality time with my cats, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. If you’re a fellow cat mom, I can’t recommend Alyssa enough. She really knows how to deal with cats! 😍🙏

FAQs for House Sitting - Toluca Lake
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Toluca Lake on Rover is $64.2 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 13,521 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
- 97% 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.
