“Tyler did a great job caring for our puppy and house while we were away! We received photos every day and the house was immaculate when we returned. Tyler’s love of animals was evident. Would 100% book in the future!”

About: My name is Heidy and I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life. I’m the current dog mom of an almost 11 year old chihuahua mix named Blue and a 2 year old beagle named Gunner l. I love animal and love caring for them. I worked as a nail salon receptionist , for two years where the dogs were the store mascots. During my time at the salon I feed, walked, played with, and even pet sat them while the owners went on vacation. I can without a doubt say that was my favorite part of the job. I currently I’m going to school for RVT and work night at Trader Joe’s. I am available every day during the day to care for your fur babies while you’re at work. I follow instructions and directions very well. I can care for your pets in your home in a safe and loving manner that would make your pets feel at easy with me.
About: I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and overnight house sitting, with care tailored to each pet’s routine and needs. I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs and have always loved caring for them. My family has had many rescue pups over the years, giving me experience with different breeds, sizes, personalities, and energy levels—from Shih Tzus to German Shepherds and Rottweilers. I’ve also become the go-to person for family, friends, and neighbors when they need someone they trust to care for their dogs. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and following each dog’s routine while their owners are away. I truly enjoy getting to know each dog and creating a positive experience that makes them feel cared for. I work part-time remotely from home in the mornings, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I’m able to provide walks, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day, making pet care a natural part of my routine. My availability allows me to be present and dependable while your pet is in my care. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home, I’ll provide a calm and caring environment while following your instructions, routines, and any special needs. Pets will never be left unattended and will always have access to fresh water. I’ll also share regular updates and photos so you can stay connected and feel confident knowing your furry family member is being cared for while you’re away.
About: I used to volunteer at animal shelters throughout high school and pet sit for family friends. I am currently an animal science major so I know a lot about pets and how to care for them. I make it my mission to treat every animal I see like my own and show nothing but love and comfort. I am currently a student in college as well as an after school leader at an elementary school. I only go to school 2 days a week but those days i have closed off for certain services. Mondays I am only out of my home from 2-4 and Wednesdays from 2:30-6. Other than those days and time I am completely available for your fur baby. I do offer dog walking and drop ins everyday, but only around certain times. I will have plenty of time to play around with your pets and make sure they are well taken care of. I tend to go on walks daily so dog walking fits perfectly. I have a fenced yard and a big backyard for the times I care for pets at my home. I have 2 small dogs, 1 keeps to herself and is very calm, the other is very playful and likes to run around with other dogs. However it is very easy to separate my fur babies from yours if you aren’t comfortable with other dogs. I have 2 sides to my house and can keep them on opposite sides. I am close to several dog parks as well and in case of emergency close to a veterinary clinic. I am very careful with instructions if there is any special needs your pets have. I always make sure the pets I look after are happy and well taken care of.
About: Hello! My name is Nick, I originally come from Colorado—the land of dog lovers. I’ve owned pets my whole life, including a golden retriever, two Yorkies, two American Bulldogs, and a Chihuahua/Dachshund mix. My experience and skills are mostly with small-to-mid-sized breeds, but I do love taking care of big dogs too (bonus points if you have a poodle mix!) I am able to fit pet care into my daily life very easily. The type of work I do outside of this makes it incredibly easy for me to be on the move and take time out of my day to give your pet the attention they need. When I take care of people’s pets, I generally like to have a first meeting with the clients and their pets to make sure they are comfortable around me and confirm all details about taking care of their pets. Depending on what a client needs, I can either stay with the pet for most of or all of the days, or I can just pop in to visit, feed, and walk them and leave. Whatever works best, I’m here for you and I know you know your pet best, so whatever they need is what I will provide!

“Nancy was amazing and extremely responsive. She was able to come for a last-minute meet and greet and was able to watch my pup Francisco within a few days notice. I would definitely have her watch him again as she is trustworthy, kind, and generally a positive and helpful person!”
“Jacqueline took excellent care of the house and pets. Followed all instructions perfectly. Pets were happy! She left the house cleaner and tidier than she found it, too. Very pleased.”
“Jordan was amazing! My senior citizen has a history of bad anxiety especially around the Fourth of July with the fireworks but Jordan kept me reassured that my boy was doing great and that made me at peace while I was away, which is all I can ever ask for while I’m away. She sent pictures and updates and I would definitely reuse her again.”
“Hayley was amazing! So communicative and thorough in the details, and even had some helpful insight for some health stuff with our dog that we weren’t aware of! We’re very much looking forward to having her watch Willow again. ?”
“As a Rover sitter myself, I have pretty high standards when it comes to who I trust with my own pets, so I was very intentional about finding the right person for our first house-sitting experience. Since we now have a cat in addition to our dog, we needed someone who could care for both Lily and Jackson in our home while we were away. I really liked Azi from our first phone conversation, and I liked her even more when we met in person. She was so loving and comfortable with Lily right away, and I could immediately tell that she genuinely loves animals. That put me completely at ease knowing Lily and Jackson would be well cared for and, most importantly, wouldn’t feel alone while we were gone. Azi did a wonderful job caring for both of them. She sent us lots of pictures and videos, was very responsive, and even took care of little things around the house like watering our plants. I really felt like she went above and beyond and spent quality time with our pets rather than simply stopping by to take care of the basics. I would absolutely book Azi again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will care for their pets with genuine love and attention. We are so happy we found her!”
About: Hi there! I’m so excited to help care for your furry family members. As a lifelong animal lover and dog parent (having raised two wonderful dogs of my own), I know how important it is to find someone you can completely trust with your pets. I currently serve as a trained volunteer at the Pasadena Humane Society, where I work directly with dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. To ensure your pet’s safety is always the top priority, I am fully certified in Cat and Dog First Aid & CPR through the American Red Cross. Whether your pet needs an upbeat walk to burn off energy or a gentle, slow-paced stroll, I adapt to their individual needs and comfort levels. I am particularly experienced and comfortable working with pets who experience anxiety, have special medical needs, or require precise medication administration. When your pet is with me, you can rest easy knowing they are receiving attentive, patient, and loving care. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! I currently work from home and have a flexible daily routine. With the exception of an occasional zoom meeting, I can be by your pup’s side. I live in a 3 story townhouse with the main living space on the 3rd floor. Dogs can go wherever I am, and I can carry them up/down stairs if needed. I will treat them as if they were my own pup 😃
About: I myself have a teacup Morky and am equipped to dealing with small dogs! I have experience walking and playing with bigger dogs as well! I give love where love is needed and am a very caring and compassionate person. All dogs matter, please allow me to show your dog the love and care they need while you are away. Im currently working a full time job, however my job tends to be pretty flexible in the mornings and evenings. I have full time weekend availability for all of your pet walking needs and drop in visits. I have a small fur baby of my own so I am equipped to handle the smaller dogs. Making sure that they are always leashed, walked fed and bathed to their liking and yours.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my entire life. Friends and family members know that I am a dog lover! I have experience with all pet ages from newborn to senior. I am a full time college student, but am great with time management and am free to play with your pup at any time! My university is pet friendly as well. I have a year old frenchie with a big gated back yard, with a built in patio to provide shade and a kiddy pool for some fun playtime!
“Sara was awesome with our 9 year old Lab/Pit mix! I am so grateful! She did everything that was asked of her and more, took pictures and kept me updated on how our dog was doing. So grateful!!! I would definitely recommend her.”
“I am incredibly grateful to have found Tammy as my dog sitter. I have two Shiba Inus, one very naughty and one very shy, and Tammy has been exceptional in taking care of them. She provided daily updates with pictures and videos, keeping me informed about their eating and sleeping habits. Tammy took them out for walks, played fetch with them, and made sure they felt loved and comfortable. Despite my dogs not being leash-free and having poor recall, I never had to worry about them running away under Tammy’s care. She managed them wonderfully, and they LOVE her. I highly recommend Tammy for anyone in need of a reliable and caring dog sitter.”

Rebecca stayed in my apartment overnight to care for my dog while I was working. She was very communicative. Made sure expectations from me were clear and asked a lot of clarifying questions. She send many pictures of my dog throughout her time with her and followed my instructions to the letter. She is very kind and clearly loves animals. 10/10 would absolutely book again!
Nancy was amazing and extremely responsive. She was able to come for a last-minute meet and greet and was able to watch my pup Francisco within a few days notice. I would definitely have her watch him again as she is trustworthy, kind, and generally a positive and helpful person!
Having a bulldog with severe separation anxiety, we were worried about leaving him for our 10 day getaway… especially since we have never before left him alone for more than a day. After interviewing Beverly, we were very comfortable allowing her to live in our home to take care of Buster and our house. She exceeded our expectations, showing us photos of her interaction with our dog and providing updates during our entire trip. We were excitedly greeted by a very happy dog upon our return. Beverly did an OUTSTANDING job!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in West Covina is $56 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $133 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 Covina 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 Covina 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 Covina 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.

- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
