“Kiah was absolutely wonderful. We were gone for just over a week and we got daily pictures and videos of our dog’s adventures. She was more than happy to continue building training/good behavior as he has been with us for only a couple of months. Although I cleared it beforehand, she went above and beyond watering my garden and even took our dog on adventures and (approved) multi-dog walks, helping socialization and confidence! We will absolutely continue to use her services!”
“Pauline was absolutely great with my girl Juna. She is kind, very thorough and a very responsible dog sitter who will love on your dog as much, if not more, than you do. Would highly recommend her services. Thanks Pauline!”
“Katie is an absolute gem! Warm and communicative and clearly a dog lover. She is the kind of person you can trust right away. We are so happy to have find her and can tell the dogs adore her as well. Highly recommend!”
“Ashley was incredible with our two dogs and our home. She gave our young dog enough exercise by taking him on runs. And she gently lifted our older dog to go places he couldn't go himself. She sent us pics and videos regularly so we were at ease. It was our first time to use Rover and we couldn't be happier with the site or with Ashley. We've already told her we want to use her every time we're out of town. Five stars for this pet and house sitter!”
“I can highly recommend Liora for pet and house sitting. She stayed with our dog, Bentley for 4 days and took wonderful care of him and our home. She walked Bentley several times a day, enjoyed play time with him and overall seemed to bond really well. Liora was very responsible in giving him his medications and the communication was great with daily updates on how he was doing, and shared images and videos that were very much appreciated. Additionally, she left the house very clean and tidy. We look forward to having Liora stay, and pet sit again!”
“Robyn was absolutely wonderful with Peggy. She went above and beyond to make sure Peggy was at ease while we were gone. She was on time and very communicative. It was such a relief when Peggy was absolutely excited to see Robyn the second day. Would 100% percent recommend Robyn! Thank you!!”
“Carina was a good puppy sitter. She was faced with a couple new things for our dog and handled them really well. Dog found a deer skull and legs (something he’s never seen!) and would not let go of them. She was able to navigate the situation on her own, even with the pup throwing up a bunch after. We appreciate her stay here at our house and would welcome her back. Thank you Carina!”
“Darian took care of our dog Lucca and our home for a week and did an excellent job. He took Lucca on some special outings beyond his normal walking routine which was great because Lucca is an active dog. They did a hike up Bishop Peak, a trip to a dog park, and took walks with another of Darian's client's dogs so Lucca had an opportunity to socialize. Darian also communicated with us daily sending pictures and updates which we really appreciated. His depth of experience and understanding of canines and their behavior is exceptional and it was great to have someone so experienced care for Lucca.”
“We actually ended up taking our dogs over to Janice’s house, where they spent the night. Janice sent pictures of the dogs enjoying themselves thoroughly; sitting on laps, lounging on the couch and generally being spoiled! We could see that they were well taken care of and”
About: Lifetime Experience: I’ve been dog sitting for neighbors since I was young and have owned dogs my entire life, making attentive pet care second nature. Specialized Senior Care: Experienced with senior dogs and managing special routines, including successfully administering daily oral medications. Versatile with All Personalities: Whether it’s an energetic high-play pup or a timid dog that needs a gentle, patient touch, I adapt to what makes them feel safe and loved. Full-Service Care: Happy to handle everything from daily walks and coat/teeth brushing to messy cleanups without skipping a beat. No matter the breed, size, or special need, I make sure every dog gets the individual patience, treats, and affection they deserve! I’m currently job searching as I just moved to Paso Robles post graduation, so I have plenty of time to take care of your furry friends and make sure they are taken care of the way you need! Sticking to Routine: I follow your exact instructions for feeding, potty schedules, and walk routes so your dog’s daily flow stays completely normal. Respecting Your Space: I treat your home with total care, keeping things neat, locking up properly, and quickly handling any unexpected pet accidents. Building Trust: For timid or anxious pets, I start with a calm, gentle approach and let them come to me at their own pace with plenty of positive reinforcement and treats.
“Keikiuiokalani did a great job of taking care of our two Australian Cattle Dogs (not a job for everyone!) over a 4 day weekend. She stayed in our home and sent us photos each day. Keikiuiokalani was easy to work with and left everything in good order. We would use her again.”
About: Growing up with horses, I developed my passion for animals at a young age. I ran a petsitting business for 7 years in Charlotte, NC and am aiming to get started again here on the Central Coast! Experience includes house sitting, livestock care, dog walking, and drop-in care. I do currently work full-time 12 hour shifts Monday through Thursday. I am available in the evenings from 5 to 10 still. Fridays through Sunday are fully available. For seven years, I provided house sitting for many repeat customers that travelled often and for extended periods for work. I have also worked on various horse farms. My breadth of experience allowed me to be flexible with any accommodations you may have. I do have a my dog, Coco, that likes to join along but this is not a requirement.

FAQs for House Sitting - Adelaida
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 382 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Adelaida. 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 Adelaida 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 Adelaida 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 Adelaida 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.
