“Rebecca is a fantastic sitter who took great care of both our house and our new cat Baby Lizard. She sent us lots of photos, did face time calls when asked, stuck to our vet's dietary instructions, and gave Blizzard lots of cuddles but also just chill time and space. She also helped out with managing our home, taking out trash, cleaning litter boxes and making sure the house stayed safe while we were on our trip. We will DEFINITELY be booking Rebecca again to watch our Baby Lizzy!”

Highly recommend and will book again.”

Weekends will vary but I usually will have open availability. I love and treasure my own senior (12 year old terrier mix) dog by walking her every day and giving her treats and other enrichment activities, so I would be happy to do the same for my clients dogs.
“Our dogs LOVED Kelli! She was sweet and gentle with our fur babies and won them over right away. She was always on time, followed the schedule and directions perfectly and was a great communicator. She sent plenty of photos and made us feel that our dogs were in good hands. We can’t wait to book her again.”

“Jacqueline is a little shy in person but she communicated very well on text - she kept me updated daily how each of our pet were doing and sent lots of cute pictures of them! :) She also spent time playing with each pet, and they seemed very happy in the pictures. My cat is usually shy and would hide if a stranger is here but she warmed up pretty quickly to Jacqueline. Our place was also kept clean during her Stay too. Will rebook again!”

About: I used to have a dog named Ollie and though our early relationship was tough due to my childish ignorance I came to love and care for her for over a decade. I share my sister's love of animals, and I can administer medicine thanks to experience with an old dog and a diabetic cat. I can do almost any day, though sometimes I'm busy or just plain tired on Mondays and Saturdays. We can always work out a date however. I make sure to keep animals company and play with them to the best of my ability. I am a bit on the laid back side of things but my patience is relatively high.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - West Whittier-Los Nietos
Kelli went above and beyond for my (scaredy) cat, leaving her food in places she could easily access so she would easily eat from her hiding place. Her communication was very thorough and ongoing, including a friendly meet n greet where she won over my preschooler, daily texts, and a photo when my cat finally showed herself! Kelli is an excellent pet sitter who I can definitely recommend.
Our first time using Rover and Bethany was amazing! We couldn't have asked for a better experience & are so grateful to her. She took such great care of both our pets and our home while we were away. She constantly provided updates with videos & pictures of our pets and did not hesitate to reach out if she had a question or concern. She went above & beyond to ensure our pets kept their daily routines & felt safe in her care. We highly recommend her & can't thank her enough!
Angie is very sweet and quickly made my clingy cat comfortable. She made the extra effort to spend time with him so that he wouldn’t be lonely and even monitored his diet as the vet said he was a little overweight. Her responses to messages were timely and she sent pictures whenever I asked. She also got my mail, kept my plants alive and was very accommodating when my garage door acted up while I was away. This is not the first time she has done housesitting for me and I will happily continue booking her services.
Christina is an excellent pet sitter! Our dogs had a fabulous time while we were away. She clearly genuinely enjoyed spending time with and entertaining the pups, which made the experience even better. They were spoiled in all the best ways! It felt so reassuring knowing our girls had such a wonderful companion while we were gone. Christina also treated our home with great care and respect. We felt beyond lucky to have found her and would happily recommend and rebook her in the future!
Sara does a fantastic job caring for Suki during her housesitting. She always provides detailed updates and pictures to let me know that she’s happy and safe highly recommend Sarah to care for your pup. In addition, she ensures to clean up after herself and leave the house exactly how it was when she arrived.

FAQs for House Sitting - West Whittier-Los Nietos
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in West Whittier-Los Nietos on Rover is $69.93 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 15,327 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across West Whittier-Los Nietos. 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 Whittier-Los Nietos 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 Whittier-Los Nietos 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 Whittier-Los Nietos 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.
