“Allen did a fantastic job taking care of Toby and housesitting while we were traveling. He was so gentle and caring with our pup. He was a conscientious and thoughtful house-sitter too, making sure to leave everything clean and tidy at the end. Great communication. Highly recommend.”
“Elaine was a great sitter! She was attentive and worked with Ripley on walks. She sent lots of pictures and status updates during her stay to make sure we were informed of all the fun they were having.”
“I’m so happy we found Ji Hae! She’s so communicative and followed all our instructions exactly. Shes experienced with caring for large dogs which was especially helpful for our two pups. It was so nice traveling and knowing she was taking care of our dogs and our home! Definitely will be reaching out again!”
About: Cats and dogs have been a constant in my life. From pitbulls to labs, I've grown to love the variety of personalities that come with pet care. I have 3 years experience pet-sitting. I've cared for the pets of family and friends. I've sat and walked both small and large dogs, providing enrichement in clients homes, too. I'm currently the owner of two cats going on 8 years now! At home, I genuinely enjoy being able to take care of my own zoo of animals - rodents, reptiles, and aquatic pets too! I hope to share this love for animals by lending a helpful hand to other pet owners! I work part time; I receive my schedule on a week to week basis. So, my availability is flexible meaning I have lots of opportunities to fit into your care needs for your pets! I accommodate to each animals needs taking things like their home environment, temperament, and personality into consideration to best fit their needs and provide a comfortable care experience!
“Andrew was great! He stayed with our Violet overnight and kept her fed and walked. She is typically a nervous pup so I was worried about leaving her with someone, but she seemed happy and content when we returned. Our internet went out the whole time Andrew was here, and he was very easygoing about it. We would definitely have him back!”
“Velvet is amazing! I rescued a pup off the streets yesterday and had an important appointment this morning. I booked Velvet late in the evening the night before, and she shifted her schedule to help me last minute and was wonderful with communication. Even more importantly, Velvet made this sweet rescue boy (again, fresh off the streets) feel calm, comfortable, and she even got him to snuggle with her! If she's this much of an dog whisperer with a fearful stray boy, I can only imagine the incredible care a beloved pet would receive. Thank you so incredibly much, Velvet! I can't tell you how much I appreciate you!”
“Ivy took a good care of our dogs for 9 days including administering insulin shots to one of our senior dogs. All of our 3 dogs warmed up to Ivy right away because of her calm demeanor, and Abi, the young GSD, even got zoomies while we were away which tells us she was very comfortable with Ivy. Ivy is also a great communicator, flexible, and always punctual. Thank you Ivy!”
“Pearl is a great house-sitter! She is attentive and patient with both dogs and cats. Even our grouchy, 16-year old cat warmed right up to her! She was very clean and respectful staying in our home, and sends lots of updates when she is house-sitting.”
“Bethany was attentive, kind, and a wonderful communicator. My little Ripley was happy and calm with I returned home. I would absolutely recommend Bethany as well as request her services again. Wonderful pet sitter!”
“JoAnne is such a wonderful dog sitter. Our dog, Callie, loves her and is very comfortable with her. All the photos and updates were reassuring. We will try to book JoAnne for any future dog sitting needs! She is the best!”
“I would highly recommend Angie for any pet sitting needs! She cared for my elderly dog, Max (medication too!) while I was abroad and I didn’t have to worry at all about Max. She was great with sending updates and photos while she was watching him and I know he enjoyed his time with her. Highly recommend!”
About: Most of my pets have been dogs and some of them have been older than a year or two months old, currently open to learn more. Currently looking for a part-time and love dogs. I have been taking care of dogs since I was in elementary school and currently have one. I live in a small apartment and get to walk her around the city and usually walk her two times per day during the weekends
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for about 6 years and have always had a love for animals. Before my dog Sunday, I helped care for several dogs for family and friends, and now being a dog mom myself has taught me even more about patience, routines, and making sure pets feel safe and loved. Whether it’s walks, feeding, brushing, bath time, or just giving extra attention and cuddles, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I know how important it is to trust someone with your fur baby, and I strive to provide loving, dependable care every time. I currently have a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time to give pets the attention and care they deserve. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company, I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and make sure they feel comfortable and loved while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your fur baby because I feel the same way about my own dog, Sunday. I always make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and cared for like family. I’ll follow your pet’s routine, give plenty of love and attention, and keep you updated with pictures and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I’m patient, dependable, and committed to making your pet feel right at home.
“Wonderful experience with Hannah. From the start, she was communicative, keeping us updated on anything that came up and asking thoughtful questions to make sure our dogs stayed healthy and happy. It was clear Hannah genuinely cared—she made sure they got plenty of walks and exercise, and her regular updates gave us peace of mind while we were away. What stood out most was how well Hannah got to know their individual personalities. Her comments and observations showed she wasn’t just watching them, she was truly connecting with them. We came home to happy, well-cared-for dogs, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book Hannah again. Highly recommend!”
About: I am dedicated to creating a nurturing, safe, and dependable experience for each of your furry family members. I believe it starts with building a trustworthy connection between myself and the owner. My goal is to provide your pet with the same love, patience, and attentive care that I would give my own, ensuring they feel safe and comfortable. I have experience caring for many animals such as bearded dragons, tortoises, hamsters, varieties of fish, guinea pigs and dogs. I have also worked with service dogs through community volunteer opportunities. I've cared for many pets of friends and family over the years. I truly love getting to know and learning each of their personalities. Caring for a variety of different animals has strengthened my ability to adapt my care towards each pet's own unique personality and routine. As a college student home for the summer, my schedule is very flexible and allows me to work around your pet's schedule or needs. Being a student athlete, movement is a big part of my daily life. I enjoy staying active and would love to keep your pet company through walks, playtime, and providing plenty of attention. When caring for pets, I take the time to learn their preferences, schedules, and personalities so they feel comfortable and stress-free. I strive to provide the same level of care and attention that I give my own pets. My top priority is reliable communication with you ensuring a safe and calm experience for you and your pet!
“Carolyn totally took care of my special needs 15 year old honey bunny Sonny. I will definitely be a repeat customer. Sonny is a bit high maintenance with his health and Carolyn met all his needs. She was active in communicating and let me have some peace of mind while I was away for work. House and pup were great when I got back. Sonny and I thank you Carolyn and we are so greatful.”
“Kristina did a great job looking after our dog and house for us while we were gone. She was so sweet with our pup and he was so much better cared for than at a boarding facility. She was very communicative and sent lots of pictures and videos.”
“Sydney was great with our 2 dogs. She sent us lots of pictures and kept us well informed. The house was in perfect shape as well. Already have her booked for our next trip.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - West Carson
Absolutely perfect. Jihae watched our three dogs while staying at our house for several nights while we were away. As basically a complete stranger, she went above and beyond what we asked of her, was super communicative, and was overall just perfect. I highly highly recommend.
Ivy did a fantastic job for us with our dog and cat! This was our first time hiring a housesitter, so she was really patient with us communicating back and forth about our instructions before we left town. Once we left, she was easy to reach if we needed anything and let us know right away when anything was out of the ordinary. She handled the unexpected competently which made us feel at ease. She sent us daily pics and updates, as requested, which was reassuring. When we got home, we found the house was just as we left it and both pets were happy and healthy.
I was not sure we could leave our pets for 15 nights! But then we met Cassandra and instantly felt good and comfortable about it. She spent so much time with our two dogs and cats, loved on them, fed, filled water bowls, walked the dogs, watered plants, vacuumed, wiped down, scooped litter boxes, picked up dog poop, etc. We are so grateful for all she did to keep everyone safe and well cared for! Thank you Cassandra!!
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.
I would highly recommend Angie for any pet sitting needs! She cared for my elderly dog, Max (medication too!) while I was abroad and I didn’t have to worry at all about Max. She was great with sending updates and photos while she was watching him and I know he enjoyed his time with her. Highly recommend!
Absolutely amazing experience with Velvet! She took such great care of my two dogs and treated them like her own. I could tell they were happy, comfortable, and well looked after the entire time. Velvet was reliable, attentive, and kept me updated, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. My dogs absolutely loved her, and I truly appreciated how caring and responsible she was. I would 100% book with Velvet again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and loving to care for their pets!
You won’t regret it if you hire Allen. He is outstanding! Allen easily managed our furry beast. Chloe is a Chinese slaughterhouse rescue and has some serious trust issues but Allen quickly won her over and was giving her belly rubs in no time. He also took great care of our home, leaving it better than he found it! We are so pleased with Allen and will definitely hire him again!!
Taylor did an amazing job and I will 100% be bringing her back to babysit my cat Bella. She responds quickly, sent photos every day, kept my apartment clean, took out the trash, and even kept my little plant alive! It’s obvious she is a pet lover and had a great relationship and was so caring for my little kitty. She really brought me so much peace of mind while I was out of town!!
Katie cared for my 2 dogs for a few days. It was clear from the start when we did a meet and greet that she was the best sitter. She asked lots of relevant questions and took notes. When I returned, my dogs looked happy and well taken care of. Katie kept me in the loop about everything that happen. Would def book her again.
Liana was fantastic with my 15 1/2 year old and 9 year old dogs. They both take medication twice a day and Bowie & Truffles warmed up to her which shows she really was beyond amazing 🤩 as Bowie does not easily bond with anyone. Constant updates and photos were a relief as I was so anxious as I don’t travel often. I felt her warmth the moment she came to visit for a meet & greet. I highly recommend Liana.

FAQs for House Sitting - West Carson
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in West Carson on Rover is $53.5 per night (as of June 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 June 2026, there are 14,487 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across West Carson. 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 West Carson 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 Carson 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 Carson 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.
