“Scarlett is awesome and a total lifesaver for me and my new rescue dog, Bonnie, and was able to spend time at my place for a few days while I traveled. Bonnie is very new to me and learning to trust new people, and so requires some patience. Scarlett is so knowledgeable and understanding, and took extra care to make sure Bonnie was comfortable and feeling confident! I’m so grateful. Scarlett also took great care of my place, leaving it super clean and was wonderfully communicative.”
“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!”
“Mia was lovely to work with and took excellent care of our girl! It helped a lot knowing she was in good hands. I got lots of updates on playtime and meals and walks, which was wonderful.”
About: I grew up with dogs my whole life. I am currently a bunny mom to 2 bunnies! So any time spent with dogs makes me so happy.

I work Full time Monday thru Friday. 10-5:30pm. I can do morning walks before work and after work. Me and my husband usually do the jobs together so if I am at work he can assist as well. Open availability during the weekends. I can house sit if you ever go on Vacation or work trips. I own a car so destination isn’t a problem. I can drive them to a local Dog park on request as well. I love taking dogs out for walks or having fun play time indoors or outdoors. I can travel to your home to care for your pets. I can do feedings as well.
About: Hi there! I'm a lifelong dog lover with hands-on professional experience in canine care. Growing up with both a high-energy German Shepherd and a friendly Cockapoo mix gave me an early, deep appreciation for dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. In addition to my personal experience, I spent a year working at Wags and Wiggles, a professional doggy daycare. During my time there, I managed group play, monitored dog body language, handled feedings, and ensured a safe, fun environment for dozens of dogs daily. Whether your pup needs active playtime, attentive supervision, or just a quiet walk, you can trust them to be in safe, experienced hands! Availability Schedule: Monday & Wednesday: 6:00 AM – 12:00 PM & after 4:00 PM Tuesday, Thursday & Friday: After 5:00 PM Saturday & Sunday: Open Availability (All Day) Having spent a year working professionally at Wags and Wiggles doggy daycare and growing up around cats and dogs of all sizes—from a German Shepherd to a Cockapoo—I prioritize safety, security, and clear communication in every client's home. I strictly follow home-entry procedures, keep doors and gates secure, and practice safe, defensive walking practices. I adhere precisely to your feeding, medication, and care routines to keep your pet's environment clean, calm, and familiar, while providing regular photo updates for complete peace of mind.
“Truly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! June was incredible with my timid pup, spoiled him with treats, walks, and cuddles. Very communicative with regular updates via photos and videos. Already rebooked her for my next travel, highly recommended!”
“They were amazing taking care of my sweet girl Luna who get nervous and barks like crazy with any new people! She was over that in a minute and had the best time while we were gone! And even the cats were happy! No small feat, would definitely use you guys again! Thank you!”
About: I've taken care of animals my entire life. I've helped birth and raise puppies and kittens, I've fostered dozens of cats and dogs, including those who are still not weaned or have disabilities that require specialty care. I also have experience with exotic pets. I am currently in school to become a veterinarian. I am currently taking online classes, so I am able to work long hours with no worries about scheduling interference. I currently do not have another job. I have experience with pets of all sizes, needs, and temperaments. I am comfortable with applying medication, walking, and any other needs that may come up.
“Marianne was great with our senior cat on a long trip. We knew we could trust her since she has a senior cat of her own. She administered his eye drops perfectly. We highly recommend. Thank you Marianne!”
About: I was a dog owner for 15 years; she passed away about 3 years ago. Her beds are so big and comfy I didn't want to throw them away. I had proclaimed this to be a forever dog home! Since then, I began dog sitting for friends from my church. I knew if a dog came over, I would want it to be comfortable. I enjoy learning each dog's personality and needs because all dogs are different. My friend's dog doesn't like to be pet but loves to sit next to me. I learned that different dogs have different needs and wants. I enjoy spending quality time with dogs through walks, companionship, and learning each dog's unique personality and needs. Some dogs love affection while others prefer quiet company, and I respect and adjust to what makes each dog most comfortable. Dog sitting allows me to provide attentive, loving care while giving dogs a calm and supportive environment. I am working but I make my own schedule. I would take care of your baby just like my own, We would go for a walk at least twice a day. Ill feed once or twice a day, depending on instructions. My mom {Frances} lives right next door, and she is my emergency contact. She loves dogs too. She is a great help if I need to step out for a minute. I do enjoy seeing the dog happy and comfortable, the rest of the day will consist of making that happen. Your pet will get a one on one experience. I will care your pet just like I would do my own. Again, a home away from home. When I wake up in the morning the first thing I do is take my fur buddy outside. Next is breakfast and play time if it's preferred. I look for direction from the owner on specific things to know and look for to make my fur buddy comfortable. Safety is #1. Every decision is made with safety first in mind. Second is satisfaction for the pet and the owner.
About: I’ve taken care of high energy, friendly, shy, and quiet pets. I am a also detail oriented person that can follow instructions on your fur babies care needs I am currently working full-time, so my availability during the weekdays are evening to morning (6pm to 7am), and Saturday (any time of the day) I will take care of them based on the care instructions by the owner, play with them and feed them on time. I will also walk them and clean them when necessary
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.
“Elaine is the best! I was worried about leaving our girls to go on vacation. Them being rescues, I thought they might feel like we left them. Elaine was so good with them, pictures every day, constant feedback and very loving care. She's the best!! The girls love her and can't wait for us to go on vacation again. Thank you Elaine”
“Reina is an absolute Gem. this was our first time leaving our puppy with someone and after meeting Reina, she is the definition of taking the opportunity to take care of your pet very seriously. She was so dedicated to our Beau, detailed, respectful and communicative. He was her priority and it made it me feel at peace to know he was with her for 5 days. He's also a puppy and I really wanted to find someone that will continue the training, and she didn't miss a beat. She left our home spotless and beyond. Thank you Reina!! We feel very lucky to have found you <3”
“Megan did a great job. I recommend her! She took care of my cat really well. She had to give him meds 3 times a day and she did that without a problem. She is very nice and communicates well. 10/10 experience.”
“Andrea is a great companion for our dogs when we go out of town. She is a great communicator and lets us know how they're doing throughout our time away. She is also very respectful of our home and leaves it in excellent condition. Highly recommend her services!”
“Gassia is one of a kind! Truly loved our Monty boy and took him on so many adventures. Tons of updates and pictures around town while we were away. Will absolutely use Gassia again 💕”
“We have a senior dog (almost 15 years old) who is pretty simple to take care of, but has a very specific routine - medication and a certain feeding schedule. Kristina took photos of the medication, and food amounts she gave our pup as well as photos of the walks. Not to mention she left our house as we would have - clean! She did great with our last minute request for house sitting. Thank you Kristina!”
“Stephanie came to do a pre booking visit and she was kind and asked good questions. She communicated updates and was flexible when travel plans changed. The house was left clean and the animals were loved.”

I cannot recommend Anahis enough! I felt completely at ease knowing Molly was in such caring hands. She went above and beyond to ensure Molly felt comfortable, safe, and loved throughout her stay. The communication was perfect and I received regular updates and photos of Molly. Molly can be a bit nervous around new people, but she immediately felt calm with Anahis. She was relaxed, happy, and content. She truly treats each pet as if it were her own. If you're looking for someone trustworthy and caring to watch your pet, I’d highly recommend Anahis. Thank you for taking care of Molly!
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!!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in West Rancho Dominguez is $38 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $21 and $78 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.

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 Rancho Dominguez 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 Rancho Dominguez 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 Rancho Dominguez 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.
