“Jehiny was available pretty last minute and made me feel so safe and secure leaving my foster dog at home alone. She sent timely updates, shared pictures, and gave us some suggestions for some difficult situations we were having with the foster. I will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Elizabeth was amazing with our anxious pup, Maple. She was warm, kind, and attentive, and put our minds at ease while we were away for 24 hours on the 4th of July! We are so grateful that Elizabeth swooped in to help us out on one of the busiest and most stressful days for pup owners, and could not recommend her enough!! ♥️”
“Karen was great watching out hyper-alert terrier mix. We reached out on short notice and she was able to come by beforehand to meet Ava and get the lay of the land. Her communication was excellent throughout and Ava was in a great mood when we got back home and everything was in order. Will definitely reach out again when we need a dog-sitter.”
About: Safety is my main priority. I have 15 plus years experience working in Veterinary Medicine. What sets me apart is the genuine care and attention I give every pet. I’m very patient, intuitive, and attentive to each animal’s unique personality and needs, whether that’s helping shy pets feel comfortable, keeping high-energy dogs active, or giving extra love and gentleness to senior pets. I also send lots of thoughtful photo and video updates so owners always feel connected and reassured while they’re away. Pet care is something I genuinely love and naturally build into my routine. Spending time with animals makes me happy, and I truly enjoy giving them love, attention, and a safe, comforting environment. I care for every pet with patience, love, and close attention to their individual routine and personality. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for through consistent feeding, walks, playtime, cuddles, and lots of affection. I also keep owners updated with plenty of pictures and videos so they can feel connected and reassured while they’re away.
“I’ve never used a pet/house sitting service before and was slightly nervous about hiring a stranger to watch my cats while I was away for a weekend. I have a newly adopted kitten that my older cat is still trying to get acquainted to – so when I came across Sarah’s profile, being that she is an experienced cat owner, it made sense to hire her. She promptly responded to my request and was kind enough to walk me through the process. She was respectful of my home and wishes, and made sure to text me periodic updates (with photos), even before I had to ask how my babies were doing. I would definitely choose her to watch my cats again.”
About: I've looked after cats and dogs. My experience has mainly been looking after my family's furry babies. Looking after two cats made me understand how time consuming pet care can get especially if medication is involved. Her two cats are completely different. Lion (10) is very kind, loves cuddles, and isn't shy. Orca (9) on the other hand prefers to stay away from people until he is ready to say hi from a distance. When looking after them I like knowing how their mom usually feeds them, what they like dislike and their favorite toys. Overall I treat anyone's home like my own. Additionally, having a German Shepherd/Husky 4 year old has shown me the endless attention and care dogs need. The importance of routine in a dogs life is what I value in dog ownership. It has helped my dog and mine relationship over the years. Each animal I've looked after have a different personality and like things done within their comfort zone. When looking after my friends dogs and cats, it includes walks, playtime, feeding and hang out with them, all of which are in my album! I am currently working a full time but am available every Friday night until Monday morning. I am available for evening/night walks and check ins every weekday. I will ensure to gather information needed to support their needs such as food routines, play, pets, dos and donts. If your pet has medication I will also ensure to follow instructions given.
About: New York transplant who just moved to the greater L.A. area. I, along with the rest of my roommates, am a young professional and have always had an immense love of dogs. I live in a new, dog-friendly building with my girlfriend and another dog-owing couple in which the majority of the other residents are other young professionals who own dogs as well. There is ample space spread out between the building courtyard and the surrounding block to take the animals out to walk and play. We have a dedicated cabinet in the kitchen for dog treats and items. I primarily work on the computer from home, so Rover is the perfect opportunity for me to work with some new friends in a wide-open open environment.
“Carley is the sweetest! She went above and beyond with my pup during a house sit, taking her for fun hikes and gave her lots of care and attention. My girl seemed absolutely stoked to hang out with her! I never usually leave her on her own like this, but I felt so rest assured with her. Thanks Carley!”
“Ly did an excellent job caring for my pups and my house! She was super flexible and provided updates and pictures while I was away. She is very caring and sweet with animals and you can tell has a very kind heart. I would highly recommend her if anyone is considering hiring her. I will absolutely hire her again in the future.”
“Jessica was a hero as usual! She's watched Nessie for us a few times now and she always goes above and beyond. She's reliable, communicative, and SO good with our girl (who has some medical and behavioral issues that need special attention). Couldn't recommend her highly enough!”
About: I’ve been an animal lover as long as I can remember. Having four legs grants an automatic friendship with me! I have experience training my own dogs. They can sit, stay, stand, twirl, and sleep (I’m really good at teaching the latter). I also have experience helping animals with extreme health issues such as tube feeding, giving pills and liquid medicine, and caring for an animal in a fragile state. One of my dogs also has a very strict diet due to a health problem so I understand how important that can be. I have watched high energy dogs, anxious dogs, and everything in between, and I love getting to know the personality of new dogs! I am new to the city, so my schedule is very open to give time and affection to your pets! Maybe they can show me their favorite places! I’m respectful of a client’s space, and understand I am coming into your pet’s safe place. I approach with care and work to find what each pets boundaries are. I always appreciate detailed care instructions so I can be the bet sitter/walker for your pet.
“Súper professional and accommodating. Needed a sitter last minute for Mother’s Day and Josh went above and beyond. Very good about communicating updates. Handled giving my dog Vida her pill. & just all around a kind and caring guy! Definitely will book with him again.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was young, starting with my childhood dog, who I cared for until she passed last year. I miss having dogs in my life, and this part-time role is a perfect way to help pet parents while also bringing me joy. Beyond my childhood dog, I’ve also been the go-to person for my extended family and friends’ pets for feeding, playing with, and walking them. They’ve relied on me for years, and I’ve always been a dependable and responsible caregiver. I’m excited to bring that same love and attention to your pets! I work full-time from home, weekdays from 2 PM to 10 PM. My WFH schedule provides flexibility, so I’m sure I can meet your pet’s needs. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets. In a client’s home, I follow all provided instructions closely, respecting your space and your pet’s routines. I’m attentive to details like feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any special care requirements. I always aim to build trust, not just with your pet but with you as well, through clear communication and regular updates.
“Lauren is incredibly responsive, thoughtful, and easy going. I felt completely comfortable having her housesit with my 15 year old pup. She didn’t bat an eye dealing with my pup’s care issues, which was so great because I was anxious about leaving her with someone in her old age. I would definitely book again!”
“Sandy was amazing! We booked Sandy for house sitting. She made sure our dog and home were well taken care of and followed all the instructions for our dog's care. Sandy is very communicative and sent regular updates, photos and videos while we were away. We will definitely book her again.”
“Ashley was great, very communicative, and lived on our pup as we would. We super appreciate how active she kept Sadie, ensuring she was nice and tired when we arrived back from our trip. It would great to see Sadie relaxed and happy when we got home. Highly recommend Ashley for any pet sitting needs :)”
“Alexandrea took great care of our special needs puppy. She sent updates and photos through the day and it was a big piece of mind to know she was in good hands with such a reliable and trustworthy sitter.”
“Rebekah was so great! My cat got sick while I was away, and Rebekah was very responsible, communicative, proactive, and generous regarding cleanup and monitoring my cat. I highly recommend.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Westlake is $63

Absolutely phenomenal! I'd give her 6 stars, for real. 1 year ago I went out of town and when I got back a whole slew of major health problems hit both my cats hard (not the fault of the pet sitter at the time). I was terrified of going on vacation again; I had PTSD. For over a year I refused to go out of town. Then I met Claire. Claire went above a beyond to make sure I felt connected to my two senior cats 100% of the time I was away and I never once felt uneasy. I was able to actually enjoy my vacation for the first time in a very long time. She was perfect. A breath of fresh air. She kept me updated regularly and frequently with pictures and texts. Actually one of my cat's conditions, he has a compressed nerve near the back of his spine, actually improved while she was watching them. He jumped on the bed to be with her which is something he rarely does, and does only with me. She followed my instructions to a T and was very flexible. She respected my home. I also think she did some light cleaning because it felt cleaner than I left it. I will definitely seek her out the next time I go on vacation. If you're on the fence I promise you it is money well spent. She puts your animals before herself and she will go to great lengths to make sure they are cared for while you're away. The money is well worth the peace of mind. I almost feel like I got a bargain. Thanks again Claire!!!
Sarah did a wonderful job dog sitting Archie! She took great care of him, made sure he got plenty of walks and attention, and left my home clean and tidy. I felt completely comfortable knowing Archie and my home were in such good hands. I would definitely recommend Sarah and would happily have her sit for Archie again!
Jenny is very kind and always great with communication from start! She was prompt and arrived at our set time, Our two dogs, cooper and nokko, was in great care with Jenny! She sent us photo updates and made sure medication/food was fed, we came home to very happy pups and would love to have Jenny again with us in the future definately!!
I can’t recommend Destiny enough! She took such amazing care of my dog Ronan while I was away for work and incredibly busy, which gave me real peace of mind. Communication was excellent, and I always felt confident that he was being well cared for. She also handled an unexpected and ill-timed leaky ceiling situation calmly and efficiently, going above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of while continuing to prioritize Ronan’s comfort and care. I’m so grateful for how dependable, thoughtful, and proactive they were. Ronan was in the best hands, and I would absolutely trust her to watch Ronan again!
Ashley is my doggies favorite person! We couldn’t have asked for a better person to take care of them! Ashley is incredibly attentive, responsible, and caring. She sent us photos and updates throughout the stay. She bring them to the outside as much as possible and played with them all the time. She took care of my doggies like her owns. She also followed our instructions carefully and paid attention to each dog’s needs and different styles of play. When we came home, our dogs were happy and well cared for. They were so sad for Ashley to leave, which says everything. We are honestly so grateful to have found someone we can trust. If you’re looking for a sitter who is dependable, communicative, loving, and genuinely cares, we absolutely recommend her. We would absolutely book with them again without hesitation!
Karen was a great sitter for my two year old pup!! She was very communicative and flexible, and I really appreciated that she was able to sit for a 5 night stretch on very short notice. Sent me pics and updates and I could tell my sometimes anxious pup was comfortable and happy around her. Thanks Karen! Will definitely book again!
My fiance and i always are apprehensive about leaving our senior dog alone. But Jehiny put our anxieties at ease from the jump. She was very attentive to our dog's needs and expressed genuine interest in details to make sure he was completely comfortable. It made me feel so at ease that he was in good hands. And when we came home our senior boy was so bright and bouncy and happy. Jehiny was very involved, very communicative, and very professional we really appreciated her housesitting for us. We'll def be reaching out in the future again.
Anna is very attentive and caring towards our animals. She noticed our dog seemed to have an allergy flare up and was quick to address it. She reached out with photos, and helped administer some medicine for us, answered questions so that I could schedule a vet appointment to address it. She cares for our animals as if they were her own and it’s so appreciated!!
Ly did an excellent job caring for my pups and my house! She was super flexible and provided updates and pictures while I was away. She is very caring and sweet with animals and you can tell has a very kind heart. I would highly recommend her if anyone is considering hiring her. I will absolutely hire her again in the future.
We had a wonderful experience with Carmela and Daniel - they stayed at our house for a week with our 4 pets (2 dogs and 2 cats). They took excellent care of everyone (feeding, walking, medicating, litterbox management) and provided regular updates. They are so sweet and even offered to water our plants! Our house was also left very clean and tidy. We really appreciated how responsible and caring they were, and we would absolutely recommend them to others!
Just the absolute best pet sitter I’ve ever had (and I’ve had so so many over the years)!!! Grace took incredible care of all 3 of my little guys, 2 of which needed medication both morning and night. And my pup who needs to be let out to pee every couple hours due to her medication. I have never felt so at ease leaving my babies before, it was such a gift to be able to relax and trust they were in good hands. She made me feel so comfortable. Every photo she sent my pup was snuggled into her lap, or my cats sprawled out on the bed, just happy as can be. They completely loved her. And I came home to a SPARKLING house, cleaner than I left it. I am in awe! I would recommend her to anyone. And I will be calling her back everytime I leave town in the future ❤️🍀
Jacqueline took great care of my two cats while I was out of the country for a month. She consistently sent me picture and video updates and even helped to take care of their excess dandruff. Would recommend if you are looking for someone to take longer term care of your pets.
