“Daylin was amazing with my Jack Russel 🐶, Jack. She sat him for 2 weeks while I was away on vacation and she provided daily updates and made sure he was always well fed and happy. I highly recommend, she is trustworthy and professional.”
“Lucky had a wonderful time with Lizett! Lucky is still adjusting to his life after being rescued off the streets, but he connected with Lizett instantly. She took him on many walks, which is he loves! She sent me pictures while I was away, so I was extra peaceful knowing Lucky is in good hands. She fed him and made sure to give him lots of cuddles. I am definitely going to get her to watch Lucky again.”
“Nikki is amazing! Professional, experienced, kind, communicative, and most importantly, excellent with our dog. She watched our dog in our home and made sure he was well taken care of while we were away. I'd highly recommend her services!”
“Marianne was available on short notice and got us out of a tight spot when another sitter fell thru. She was patient with our Beau who can be loud when meeting new people and takes some time to warm up to people. She was able to connect with him in the first 20 minutes and was smooth sailing after. She was thoughtful and asked for information on how to take care of him and our senior cat Tuzo too, as well as what signs to look for that could be a health issue with him. Will gladly reach out to her when we need another sitter in our visits to LA.”
“Anne was great with our dog. She was on-time and dependable. Our dog has severe separation anxiety and is not trustful of strangers sometimes, yet she had him laying by her and cuddling up to her by the time we got to the car to leave. I highly recommend Anne and we would definitely call her if in the area again.”
“Brenda was great with my pets as always! She looked after my pets while I was traveling for the holidays and did an amazing job. She not only cared for them, including carrying out treatments for my sick kitten, but also left my apartment in better shape than I left it! highly recommend her to take care of your pets - you will not regret it!”
“Gassia was absolutely wonderful!!! She was so sweet and communicative, and sent TONS of updates and photos of our little munchkins!!! She was so patient with them as they took a couple days to warm up, but kept us in the loop and even left a couple of packs of new wet food to try since they’ve been a little picky as of late. Could not recommend her more! She was such a doll and we look forward to booking with her again soon. :)”
About: Hi! My name is Marilyn and I’ve been caring for dogs in Inglewood for over 20 years. I provide a safe, loving, home-style environment where dogs receive attention, playtime, walks, companionship, and personalized care. I understand every dog has different needs and personalities, and I work hard to make them feel comfortable and relaxed while away from home. I provide updates, photos, and communication so owners can feel at ease while their pets are in my care. I’d be happy to schedule a meet-and-greet. Pet care is my full-time focus, so your dog will receive plenty of attention, supervision, playtime, and care throughout the day. And lots of love. My responsibilities includes, providing food and water, giving baths, administering medicine, taking dogs out for a walk, and providing companionship care an lots of love.
“Hannah provided incredible care for my dog, cats and house. She had to deal with an animal healthy emergency and I was extremely impressed with her communication and the work she put in, getting my cat to the vet, and then an emergency care hospital. My animals loved her! My dog is very shy, and I’ve never seen him so happy. She left my house shining, and my animals very safe and loved.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 12, looking after my own pets and neighbor’s dog when they’re out of town. I understand the importance of companionship and make it my mission to ensure your furry friends feel loved and never alone. Currently I’m in school and only working a part-time job which means that during the week I have free time. Except for Sundays I work at night so any time before 5pm. I have two friendly dogs - a large one and a small one- so I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes. If your dog is shy, I can easily keep my dogs separated to ensure your pup feels safe and at ease.
“Grace was absolutely amazing. As a first time rover user, she took away all the stress and worry I had leaving my boy alone for the first time. She was communicative, patient, sent daily updates and pictures, and overall was very kind and respectful of our space. We will be sure to use her again.”
“Allen is an awesome dog sitter! We have two high energy doodles, one of whom is blind, and he took really good care of them while we were away. He sent plenty of pictures and videos which gave us peace of mind and when he left, they were standing at the guest bedroom door looking for him. We highly recommend Allen!”
“Aileen was wonderful. This was the first time we used Rover and first time our pet needed a sitter. Aileen stayed at our home and took very good care of our 10yr old pet and our home. She sent us pics and also gave our pet a special little birthday snack we had left. I highly recommend Aileen.”
“Anastasiia was so great! Our puppy was recovering from spay surgery, and Anastasiia took such great care of her and attended to all her medical needs. Will definitely book again!”
“Brittney was great! She even came by a couple times beforehand to meet Luna. She was very sweet and friendly and knowing that our dog quickly warmed up to her says a lot! She was great with getting her out of the house on walks and spent quality time with her. We would definitely work with Brittney again!”
About: I take pride in the trust that friends and family have place in me. I will take care of them like my own. Your home will be respected and cared for. I have cared for special needs pets. I work from home as an RN. This gives me a lot of flexibility. I go for walks at least daily. Having a dog (or cat) to walk with encourages me. I love animals. I always try to follow the pet's normal routine closely. I understand the importance of keeping pet's as stress free as possible when their humans are away. I will care for them and your home with kindness and respect.
“This was our first time using a house sitter and Jasmine did a great job making us feel comfortable and provided good updates on our two cats and one dog. Would use her again!”
About: I love spending time with animals whenever I get the time to do so, I can not wait to spend so much more time with them. I hope your best friend can trust me and not be afraid to play with me. 🐾 I’m currently in college for part-time from Tuesday to Wednesday I am available from 12 through 6pm and on Wednesday I take an afternoon class, I’m available from 9Am-1:30 3:50-6:50. Monday,Thursday Friday,Saturday,Sunday available anytime those are my days off. I would normally stay home with them and watch them. In the afternoon I would take them on a walk. If they are hungry or it’s there feeding time I would feed them and once an hour or two I would play with your pet for a little bit.
“Marianna was such a great sitter! She took care of my house, leaving it more put together than before I left. She took out my trash, figured out the high tech litter situation, sent me cute pictures and even left me with a little card and Polaroids of my kitties. My cats were so mellow and happy when I came home. Seeing pictures of them piled on top of her left me feeling so secure that they were comfortable. I would highly recommend Marianna.”
About: Leaving your fur babies behind is never easy, but I’m here to give you total peace of mind. As a registered veterinary technician with 14 years of experience caring for animals, I’m happily stepping out of the clinic and into your home! My goal is to bring that same high level of medical expertise and attentiveness into the comfortable, stress-free environment where your pets feel safest. Whether your sweet pup or kitty needs a strict medical routine, or just an extra dose of love and belly rubs while you’re away, I promise to treat them exactly like my own. Because I work from home, I have the complete freedom and flexibility to closely adhere to your pet's individual daily routine and schedule. Whether that’s with drop-in visits, walks and exercise, or pet sitting in your home. Every pet has their own perfect pace, and I'm happy to match it. From leisurely walks along the strand/beach to high-energy games of fetch in the park or yard, or just cozying up for some serious couch-potato cuddles, your pet gets exactly the kind of day they love most. My extensive veterinary background equips me to handle pets that require specialized attention. I am highly experienced in administering oral and injectable medications. I have been fully trained in recognizing subtle animal behaviors, and tailor my care to meet their individual needs and personalities. I always respect their boundaries, move to their level of comfort, and use only positive and gentle handling so they feel safe and loved. My own experience caring for my beloved cranky 14 year old pup, who suffers from epilepsy and immune mediated illness, has taught me to be extremely observant, read body language meticulously, and proactively adapt environments to avoid negative situations. I am passionate about welcoming animals of all breeds, sizes, temperaments, and life stages—from energetic puppies and kittens to sweet seniors. I have 2 senior pups and a 26-year-old tortoise of my own! My love for animals is a huge part of who I am, even outside the clinic. While living in Southeast Asia, I spent my time volunteering with local rescue organizations, where I personally loved on and cared for over 200 dogs and puppies. From nursing injured and paralyzed pups to keeping up with daily feeding, bathing, and playtime, I was fully hands-on. Above all, your pet’s safety and happiness are at the heart of everything I do. I want you to feel like you're leaving your baby with a trusted friend. I pride myself on being reliable, attentive, and deeply compassionate, and I treat your home and pets with the utmost respect. I promise to keep you connected with plenty of sweet updates and photos along the way. I truly love going the extra mile to ensure that you can relax completely, knowing your furry family member is feeling loved, comfortable, and completely pampered. Can't wait to meet your best friend! Working from home gives me the complete flexibility to seamlessly match your pets daily routine. I am available for whatever your pet needs, from walks and feedings to drop-in’s and full pet sitting. Because my own grumpy senior pup doesn’t do well with new friends, I don’t offer care in my home. However, I’d love to keep your pets routine perfectly consistent by caring for them in their own familiar space.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - West Athens
I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving, patient, reliable, and trustworthy pet nanny! She has cared for multiple dogs at once and has always shown so much patience, kindness, and genuine love toward each one. Every dog has its own personality and needs, and she does a wonderful job making sure they all receive the attention, affection, and care they deserve. She has a calm, gentle nature, which is especially important when caring for small puppies. She is attentive, responsible, and truly has a heart for animals. It gives me peace of mind knowing my dogs are in caring hands. As someone who works with puppies and helps them find their forever homes, I would absolutely recommend her to any of my clients looking for someone they can trust to care for their new family member. Finding someone who treats your fur babies like family is priceless, and she is truly a gem! 🐶💕🐾
Daylin was a fantastic sitter in our home for our doggie. Communicates well and sends pics through out her stay with our dog. Follows instructions we left for her to make her stay smooth. Would definitely recommend her for your sitting needs. Will use her again! Thanks Daylin!
Kristin is a god send!! My boys are big dogs with so much energy and sometimes some behavior issues. Not only did she get them to behave on walks, she has helped with some of their reactivity. She plays with them and loves on them so much and they get so excited when she comes over. And she’s an incredibly sweet woman. 12/10 would recommend!!!
Aileen is a phenomenal and trustworthy sitter. She house sat for us and took really good care of our high energy German shorthair pointer puppy and our other dog. She follows directions well and it’s clear she really cares for your pets. When we got back, the house was clean and she even washed the bedding. So happy to have had her as our sitter. We came back to chilled out pups and received pics while we were away. They had fun and enjoyed her a lot.
Camille was absolutely wonderful while caring for our two fur babies. She is incredibly trustworthy, kind, and communicative. She sent us photos and updates throughout the weekend, which really put our minds at ease. Our pets were very comfortable around her, and she even took the time to take our dog to his favorite park, and provided constant play and engagement to both fur babies. Camille also took excellent care of our home and left everything spotless. I can’t recommend her enough! If you’re looking for someone who will truly care for your home and pets, you’ll be in great hands with her.
Iliana could not be more amazing. She took such wonderful care of our three pups while we were away. Right before her visit, one of our dogs was diagnosed with lymphoma. I was ready to cancel our trip, but Iliana assured me she had everything handled. Iliana took our dog to her vet visit, and stayed on top of all of our dogs’ medication schedules. Iliana made us feel so at ease. She could have not been a more wonderful house and pet sitter. We are so, so grateful to her!!!
Laura took such good care of my dog! When Laura left, my dog was whining and looking out the window for a while. She was very flexible, also feeding my hamster from time to time. If you're looking into boarding, Laura's dogs seem to be sweethearts and well-behaved, they were welcoming to my dog and got along very easily. Really appreciated all the cute photo & video updates too. Highly recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in West Athens is $34 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $113 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.

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 West Athens 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 West Athens 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 West Athens 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.
