About: I've worked with various breeds and temperaments. I don't mind working with reactive dogs. I'm very comfortable working with puppies or senior pets. I have no problem taking puppies out for potty breaks as often as needed and giving positive reinforcement. I'm comfortable giving medication such as pills or injections. I've worked with many older dogs with diabetes who need to keep up with their shots. I am available every day for overnight pet sitting. This means I stay at your home overnight, so your pet doesn't feel lonely while you're away. I can provide as many potty breaks as needed. I like to stick to their usual daily schedule, so please provide a detailed schedule of what their day usually consists of so I can stick to that. Their comfort is my priority. Please provide a detailed daily schedule. This includes time they eat, times they usually go out for a potty break, their bedtime and any medications they may need while you're away. I always conduct a meet and greet before every pet sit. It will be 10-15 min.
“Heather was FANTASTIC!!! We received updates and pictures every day while we were away with top tier communication throughout. She was so respectful and caring that we would use her again in a heartbeat & will be referring all of our neighbors & friends to her. My wife and I were able to enjoy a busy, stressful weekend trip knowing that our cat, dog, and house were in Heather’s capable hands!!! Hands down the best sitter we have ever had and genuinely feel lucky to have connected with her. 10/10”
“Taylor is amazing!!! She watched our two dogs for a few days and everything went so smoothly. She is caring, attentive, and very communicative. She updated us everyday with photos and let us know her schedule and if there any concerns we had which I really I appreciated. I am planning to book her for future sittings since my girls love her🙌🏻💕🐾”
“Jennifer is very responsible and conscientious. She was able to care for our 3 (not always the easiest) big dogs, communicates honestly, and in a timely fashion. She sent us photos, updates, and could manage our complicated routine. She is a trustworthy person, tries her best, and I feel comfortable recommending her.”
“Gaia stayed in our home for two and a half days. She was responsible, and attentive, and she followed all of our instructions and house rules exactly as requested. I especially appreciated that she communicated with us and asked permission before making any changes to our original agreement. That level of respect, reliability, and professionalism gave us real peace of mind while we were away. We would absolutely trust Gaia with both our pets and our home again, and we would be very happy to hire her in the future.”
About: I have fostered cats since 2020 and have volunteered at my local animal shelters since 2018. I am familiar working with cats and kittens of all ages and needs (bottle feeding - seniors) and can confidently give medicine and clean pets with extra needs. I have worked with small dogs throughout this time (helping stimulate/play and clean them up) and have taken care of young puppies <1 year overnight with around the clock care. I am completely free on weekends from 4am-10pm and am flexible with my hours especially if overnight care is needed. I work full time on weekdays and have a flexible schedule which allows me to work remotely from 7am-4pm. I am free for visits and caregiving 4am-6am and 4pm-10pm on weekdays. I am comfortable and willing to respect your animal’s boundaries where needed, and I will do whatever I can to ensure your pet is safe. I understand some pets are shy and some are more social, and am comfortable working with all types of personalities to cater to their needs as necessary. I can supervise eating/bathroom use as necessary and provide extra stimulation and play time whenever needed.
“Kaitlin was prompt to answer any messages and questions I had. She arrived on time and took great care of our dog Sky while we were out of town for the weekend. Her rate is lower than other sitters we have used in the past, but the service was equal. We would use her again.”
“Taylor was a pleasure to work with! She was very communicative and kept us updated with our pet's needs. Letting us know if they were eating properly and how they were doing on their walks. Taylor was great with our dogs and sent wonderful pictures. She was very flexible when our dog had to have eyedrops given last minute right before we left. Her positive attitude and dedication gave us peace of mind while we were gone on vacation for a week. We knew our dogs were getting well cared for and wouldn't hesitate to use her again! We highly recommend her!”
About: With lifelong experience caring for dogs, horses, and cats, I'm an animal lover and horse whisperer. I train my pets, provide energy healing, and enjoy daily walks. Pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily routine, as I work from home and have the flexibility to design my own schedule. As an energy healing practitioner, I prioritize mindfulness and balance, which extends to my pets. I incorporate playtime, walks, and training when needed into my day, ensuring they receive ample exercise and mental stimulation. During breaks from my meditation and yoga sessions, I find joy in spending quality time with my pets, fostering a nurturing environment. Their companionship enhances my work-life balance, and I often use sound healing techniques to create a calming atmosphere for both myself and my furry friends. Caring for pets in my home is a thoughtful process. I have a fenced yard where your dog can play safely alongside my sweet 15 year old boxer, who loves companionship. I welcome only dogs that are friendly with cats, as my 4 year old indoor cat enjoys their company. I feed all dogs outside, right in front of my kitchen, ensuring a clean and pleasant environment. Cats are fed separately in the kitchen, with their food placed on furniture to keep is safe from curious dogs. For hydration, I have a water fountain for the cats and a water dispenser for the dogs, both inside and outside for the dogs. When needed, I can easily crate your dog at night; my boxer is crate trained but prefers to sleep freely now. I require that you bring your dog and cat with their own bed, food, and treats, ensuring they feel comfortable. Additionally, It's essential that all pets have a collar with a tag and a leash for safety. This structured approach helps create a harmonious atmosphere for all furry friends in my care.
“Antonia deserves 10 stars! She is lovely,kind, competent, and clearly loves animals. This was my first time having a petsitter in my home to watch my two little dogs and I must say I was a bit nervous. But Antonia washed away all of my doubts. For those of you who will be first-time petsitter users (and future users as well) Antonia is the way to go. Shes really a gift. Took excellent care of my pups and fed and walked them exactly as directed, gave them treats. She let them sleep in the bed with her. My pups fell in love with her. And she left my home immaculate! Also - she sent frequent videos of the pups so I could see how they were doing. I highly recommend Antonia to sit for your pets. They will be in great hands. I’m looking forward to working with her again in the near future. So glad I found her. Thank you, Antonia!!!”
“Zoe stayed at our house for an extended stay (10 days) and took great care of our 6 month old lab! She sent texts daily with photos, videos, and updates on how he was doing. We always get such great care with Zoe!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs my whole life! From raising my own Toy Fox Terrier and German Shepherd, to helping friends with both playful puppies and sweet seniors. Many families on Rover trust me again and again, and I’m grateful for the wonderful reviews I’ve received. That’s because I treat every dog like family. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while their parents are away. Dogs with separation anxiety quickly relax with me, as I know how to ease their stress with play, walks, and gentle reassurance. You’ll also have peace of mind knowing your pup is in loving hands, with consistent updates, photos, and videos to keep you connected. For me, this isn’t just a job.. it’s something I genuinely love doing! I currently work part time (coach tennis) and have a very flexible schedule where I am home most of the day. Weekdays and weekends I am very available throughout the day. I blanket my couches to allow the dogs more comfortable resting places. I like to take the dogs to the nearby fenced dog park to get exercise and regularly go on walks for potty breaks and exploration. They will feel comfortable, relaxed and happy when staying with me.
About: I’ve been walking dogs and house sitting for years and have always grown up with pets of my own. I’m comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and routines, and I genuinely love spending time with animals. I’m reliable, attentive, and will treat your pets and home with the same care I would my own! I’m currently working full time at a school, so I’m free during the week after 3pm and I’m free on the weekends for pet care or walks! I provide personalized care for pets in the comfort of their own home, helping them maintain their normal routine and reducing stress. Services can include feeding, providing fresh water, administering medications as directed, walking dogs, cleaning litter boxes or cages, playtime, exercise, and lots of attention and affection.
“Whitney is a dog whisperer! Our dog is anxious around anybody but her immediate family & Whitney had her curled up next to her after one day. Absolute miracle. Whitney was very communicative the entire time and very respectful with our house. Thank you so much Whitney!”
“We are so happy we found Jeff- highly recommend! He watched our big boy German Shepherd and our older Pittie. He gave them plenty of time at home, watched the house, and took care of medications and feeding regimens perfectly. A+++!”
About: I have taken care of many dogs. I used to have a Samoyed and a multipoo myself for many years previously. I love how affectionate dogs are. I am great at sticking to feeding schedules. I enjoy petting and playing with a dog kindly and gently. I have a big backyard that is fenced where a dog can run and play safely. I work part time, not everyday, and just a few hours a day, so I am a great companion to your sweet lovable pet. I am gentle, caring, loving, warm hearted. I am very empathetic to pets because they are loving beings. I will often take them for bathroom breaks, pet, and feed on schedule. I want the pet to feel safe and happy and the owner to relax and enjoy their time away. I have a fenced backyard. I accept cats or small dogs only. The pet will have space to run and play. I am gentle with my voice and my affection to the pet. I have a big heart and am also good at keeping a feeding schedule. I am warm hearted and responsible.
“Kim was amazing! I’m a first time dog mom and was so nervous. She did great meeting Jake and really knew the best way to introduce herself to him! She gave updates and photos which helped ease my nerves. Highly highly recommend her to everyone and anyone!”
About: We are excited to connect with all of you. We have looked after many doggies. Now, we are taking 2 at a time depending on each individual doggies personality. We, of course, won’t always be booked with two, but if it works, it works. We are people who will get back to you right away and communicate honestly always. We lost our dog in Sept 2021 and watching others dogs allows us the cuddles and love that we truly miss so much. If we come to you for walk or just a visit, we do not mind you having a camera in your home. We actually advocate for it. Also, I (Darby) , do most walks and visits. Always on the first visit, for safety reasons I bring Craig ( my Beau) with me to make sure all is good. If possible, please make sure all instructions are clear and instead of lots of details where everything is- it seems to be much easier to put everything out on kitchen counter. 😉😋 I am a Fine Art photographer. I’m home working most days and so is my Beau. Days go like this… Ha Wake up. Walk. Eat. Play. I edit. We cuddle. I edit . We walk. Snack. I edit. We cuddle. Play. I edit. We walk. We will treat your doggie like our own. Whatever their needs are we provide. We have a Client, who we adore , and whenever they bring over their Doggie Doo they come with their very large couch pillows. The reason for this is because their Doggie has back problems, so our whole living room is a slumber party at all times. We have built a solid customer base, however, doggies get older, etc… So there is always room for more love. At this point, we don’t like to be without a baby. Wink
“We just used Rover for the first time, and Anna was amazing! Anna is very warm and friendly, and our two mini goldendoodles loved her. Thank you Anna for a very positive first experience.”
“Michael was absolutely amazing!! From the very first message he was super responsive and on point. When we met him, he was so sweet with our pup—we just knew right away he was the perfect fit. He showed up on time, followed her routine perfectly, and kept us updated with pictures every day. He was also super communicative if she needed anything, which gave us total peace of mind. Honestly, 10/10 recommend Michael—we’ll definitely be booking him again soon! Thank you so much!!”

Natalie, thank you! You were the perfect dog sitter. Natalie helped us with our 5 dogs for our wedding day in Malibu. She is very helpful, attentive and involved with them. She helped us get them into their wedding harness, and was even involved in our wedding helping with the dogs. I highly recommend her to anyone for any type of pet sitting needed. 5/5 all the way!
Having Avery petsit was a joy as always! This is our second time using her and the longest trip we have ever taken! Avery was professional, attentive and my cats absolutely love her! I can not praise her enough! I will absolutely be using Avery whenever she is available for all of my future pet care needs.🥰
Sofia did a super job taking care of my home and pets while I was out of town. She followed my (rather complicated!) instructions perfectly and she went above and beyond the call of duty. She noticed one of my birds was not looking quite right, got in touch with me, and took him to the vet… not an easy task with a cockatiel and his cage. Sofia sent me plenty of updates and photos, and when I got home I found my house was cleaner than when I had left. Excellent job, one of my best pet sitting experiences ever!
Adeline is a wonderful and caring person and did an outstanding shin caring for two of our elderly dogs. She stayed at our home for 10 days and made sure to send me plenty of pictures and updates on how my dogs were doing. We had a little health issue with one of the dogs and she handled it very proactively and professionally. I will be asking her to dog sit regularly.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Agoura is $61 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $131 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 11,550 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Agoura. 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 Agoura 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 Agoura 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 Agoura 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
