“I booked Bethany during my travel out of the country and I can't say enough good things about the care my dog received! She is a phenomenal pet sitter. She communicated clearly, kept me updated with adorable photos, and did a wonderful job following my dog's daily routine. I could tell my pup felt completely comfortable and well taken care of. Highly recommend and will book again.”
“Jessica took care of my Romey this past weekend while I went on vacation. I can tell my doggie loves her because he lays on his back for some belly rubs as soon as she gets home :)”
About: I have loved animals since I was a child and have always grown up in a household with many different pets. I have experience caring for both cats and dogs, including senior dogs who may need extra patience, attention, and care. I frequently pet sit for family and friends, and they often rely on me to pet sit because they know I am responsible, loving, and caring. I enjoy spending time with animals, keeping them comfortable and safe, and making sure they receive the love, attention, and fun they need while their owners are away! I’m a student athlete, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give pets the care and attention they need. I’m available for boarding pretty much everyday, my schedule can vary depending on my sports schedule which is only a few hours throughout the day, so feel free to send me a quick message with the time you need care, and I can confirm my availability. I want every pet in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and at home. I’m happy to follow each pet’s routine and provide whatever they need to feel comfortable, whether that means having their own space, being separated from my pets, getting extra attention, or having plenty of playtime. For dogs, I can provide walks, exercise, and trips to the dog park when appropriate. I’m also happy to care for pets in their own home and follow their usual routines. My goal is to make sure every pet feels secure, cared for, and loved while their owner is away.
“We had Paula over to sit our Shih tzu while we were away on a trip and would definitely have her over again. Our dog loved her and she kept us updated daily, which helped us feel at ease. Would highly recommend her!”
“Alexis was absolutely wonderful with the dogs, on time, and very reliable. We maintained excellent communication before, and while he looked after our pets. Alexis was very accommodating, pleasant, respectful, trustworthy, and would choose him 100000% every time I would need to trust someone to look after my fur babies. Very, very happy ???”
“Payje is so appreciated! She watched our big boy two times so far once for two days and once for seven and he loves her and it was such a relief to not have to worry about him when we were not home. She was very communicative and reliable and friendly, and we just cannot say enough about her. highly recommend.”
“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!”
“Amy was great with our boys who needed time with her to hangout, twice daily feeding, potty breaks, and walks outside and fetch at the park. I was very happy with her daily check ins with us and letting us know how they were doing. Highly recommend and hope to book with her again!”
“Amanda is amazing! She is always prompt, always responds very quickly, and I had an immediate sense of trust at the first meeting, and most importantly, she loves my dog. She stayed at the house for three days while I attended a conference, provided updates, asked questions when in doubt, and watched over our pets and the house. She was professional yet friendly, I will gladly ask her to come back the next time we go out of town!”

“I had an absolutely wonderful experience with our Rachel! She was exceptional from start to finish—caring, responsible, communicative, and clearly loves dogs. I felt completely comfortable knowing my dog was in such good hands. She kept me updated, sent pictures, and treated my dog like one of her own. It was such a relief to know he was happy, safe, and well cared for while I was away. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, loving, and dependable dog sitter. I will definitely be booking with her again!”
“We were SO grateful to have found Chloe. She is a great “baby”-sitter. She sent us so many cute pictures of the girls. Our girls were very comfortable with her. We had them with another sitter recently (and our dogs came back very stressed). With Chloe, we came back to happy healthy dogs! Lots of pictures of our anxious girl who doesn’t trust anyone else sleeping her usual “belly up” position which she only does when she feels safe. And a few sweet cuddle photos just after a day. On a practical note - she respected our house & our boundaries which was very appreciated. Followed all the routines. Took them on walks. We are very picky & we have full faith that you can trust her with your pets 😊”
“Cristian went over and above our expectations. Kept us up to date sent photos and just provided complete reassurance we didn't need to stress over our dogs and home while on vacation. Highly recommend and our best experience to date using Rover. 5 stars plus!!!”
About: Pending on parents wishes, we take walks, play, I will have doggie toys or they can bring their own. I can do medication, including injections, give them breakfasts and snacks pending parents bringing what the babies like Im currently available everyday, once I start my daily job, I can still stay at your homes, and walk, feed and play. And all day onweekends, mindful that I am available now 24/7 I have a fenced yard, no other doggies on property. I always say less is more when it comes to meeting a new pup no matter the age. This is to gain trust with myself and them.
About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 6 years and have had animals in my life for as long as I can remember. I have experience caring for puppies of all ages, as well as pets with different personalities, energy levels and needs. I understand that every pet is unique and I always take the time to get to know them and make sure they feel comfortable, safe and loved while you’re away. During the holidays can be hectic, so I’m available for those fur parents who need a helping hand during this time around the major holidays. Treating every pet with the same love and care I give my own is extremely important to me. I know how much our pets mean to us—they’re family and I want every pet in my care to feel safe, happy and loved. My goal is to make sure your furry family member feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away. If need be, I do have a fenced backyard with two friendly fur babies. I can also provide crate access as well for any reason.
About: I've taken care of all kinds of dogs, big and small, young and old. I have a lot of energy for playful pups, along with patience for grey-faced older ones. I've changed diapers and administered medicine in various vessels (food, treats, orally). I'm happy to go on walks and to give cuddles! If you have a kitty, my love is just as strong, but I know when to give them their space if wanted or needed! I'm a newly graduated UCSB alumni so I have plenty of time to take care of pets, which is honestly how I love to spend my time anyway. I prefer to spend as much time as possible with my clients' pets for the duration of my stay. I don't tend to leave for more than an hour or two to get food or run some quick errands. I am vigilant and attentive, especially in regards to any allergies such as bees.
About: Hello! My name is Layla and I am currently a full-time college student with extra time on my hands, my schedule can be extremely flexible on the days that I am available. I feel being a pet sitter suits me because a. I love animals, b. I’m very attentive and organized, and c. Earning a wage by hanging out/taking care of your fur babies sounds like a dream! I currently have two big dogs and one cat that I care for almost every day. I take the dogs for walks, play fetch with them, and take them out to go potty. I love spoiling my cat with new stimulating toys, cat trees, and lots of cuddles 🥰 I’m currently a full-time student with some spare time, a part-time job seems too much for me to handle while also engaging in school. I adore animals and it would be amazing to earn money while spending time and caring for them 🥲 A list offered of how you want me to care for your pet is preferred. I understand pets can have different quirks and I’m totally adaptable to anything that’s thrown at me. I love animals and their unique personalities! I’d like to follow your routine to care for your animal, just like you never left!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was a kid – we always had family animals, and I grew up feeding, walking, and bathing them. I had a Golden Retriever and a 6 years old cat so I’m used to high‑energy pups and know how to keep them happy, safe, and well‑exercised. You’ll get daily photo updates, so you can relax while you’re away. I can easily fit in walks or drop‑in visits anytime during the day, evening, or weekends. I’m available Monday through Friday from morning to night, and fully open on Saturdays and Sundays. If your pets needs extra attention (e.g., after surgery or just separation anxiety), I can even be home full‑time for a day – just let me know in advance. When I care for your pets in your home, I always start with a safety check – making sure doors, windows, and gates are secure, and removing any hazards like toxic plants or small objects. I’ll follow your feeding and guidelines precisely, and I always ask about things to look for ahead of time. You’ll get daily photo updates and a quick message after each visit – so you can relax knowing your pet is safe and happy.

I will definitely be booking with her again!
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!

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 September 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 September 2026, there are 15,455 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in West Whittier-Los Nietos. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
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.
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.
