Petme · Los Angeles house sitting
House sitters in Los Angeles, your pet stays home
A vetted LA sitter stays in your house or apartment overnight. Pool watched, gates secured, wildfire-evac ready. $22,000 Protection Plan, 0% owner fee.
LA house sitting matches the city's film-industry travel pattern: 2- to 4-week hiatus bookings, pilot-season weekly travel, awards-weekend trips. A vetted Petme sitter stays in your home from Silver Lake to Santa Monica, runs your dog's usual Runyon or Griffith route, watches the pool, and is ready to evacuate with your pet if wildfires escalate.
Find a house sitterIn-home house sitting in Los Angeles typically runs $90 to $180 per night on Petme. Petme charges pet owners 0% commission, so the sitter rate is the full price. Rate bands verified May 2026.

Why Los Angeles
Why house sitting works in Los Angeles specifically
Film-industry hiatus weeks are the dominant LA booking pattern: 2 to 4 weeks of continuous coverage. House sitting is logistically simpler than back-to-back boarding bookings for that long. Wildfire-evac readiness is a real concern. A sitter who already knows your pets, your house, and the evac route is the safer choice than handing off mid-emergency.

Why Petme in Los Angeles
0% fee. Cashback. $22,000 Protection Plan. Same sitter, every time.
The dog-sitter market has been Rover's and Wag's for a decade. Petme rebuilt the economics around the pet owner. Los Angeles owners on Petme pay less per booking, get more protection, and earn cashback on every stay. Sitters keep more of the rate, which is why they show up.
0% service fee for pet owners
Rover, Wag, and Care.com layer a service fee on top of the sitter's rate at checkout, and their exact fees are published on their own sites and can change. Petme layers 0%. You pay only the rate the sitter sets, so a 5-night booking costs exactly five nights.
Protection Plan for eligible vet costs
Owners can get up to $22,000 toward eligible vet costs if something happens during the stay. Petme coordinates with the Los Angeles clinic from inside the app.
Cashback on every booking, automatic
When a booking completes, cashback on every booking lands in your Petme balance instantly. Use it toward the next booking, no expiry, no minimum. Rakuten-style economics applied to your pet's second home.
Verified, background-checked sitters
Every Petme Los Angeles sitter passes identity verification with a government ID plus a background check before going live. Reviews are open and unfiltered. Same-sitter rebooking is one tap, not a matchmaking dice roll.
The cashback maths
What a 5-night booking in Los Angeles actually costs
Worked example at the Los Angeles median nightly rate ($135 per night). The sitter sets the same rate either way; the difference is what each platform stacks on top.
| Line item | Petme | Fee-charging platforms |
|---|---|---|
| Sitter rate (5 × $135) | $675 | $675 |
| Pet-owner service fee | $0 | ~$71 |
| Cashback earned | −$20 | n/a |
| Effective cost | $655 | $746 |
The right-hand column is a typical owner-side service fee on platforms that charge one on top of the sitter rate (Rover, Wag and Care.com publish their current fees on their own sites). $22,000 Protection Plan is included in the Petme price; other platforms set their own cover and caps.
