About: Hi! I’m Julia and dogs have always been an important part of my life. I grew up with an Old English Sheepdog that I miss dearly, and caring for her showed me how amazing it is to have a strong bond with a pet. Over the years, I’ve been trusted by friends, family, and neighbors to care for their dogs. I’m reliable, attentive, and committed to making sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I have a flexible schedule and would love the opportunity to help care for your pup! I’m currently applying to graduate school and have a very open schedule. I’m available most weekdays and am often available on weekends, allowing me to provide flexible care for your pets. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every animal with the same care and attention I would give my own. I strive to create a calm, positive environment where pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether we're going for a walk, playing, or simply keeping a routine, I focus on making sure your pet is happy and well cared for while you're away. I'll also keep you updated so you always know how your pet is doing.
“Natalie was a lifesaver to help watch our two large, active dogs on the Fourth of July while we were at a wedding. Our older pup, Bongo, is terrified of fireworks and we recently rescued our new puppy, Gin, so we weren’t sure how she would react. Natalie was so calm and kind and I think the dogs really felt her good energy and everything worked out perfectly. 10/10 recommend Natalie for anyone that is looking for someone to love on and care for their dogs as if they were their own.”
“Austin was wonderful. He really knows his way around crazy puppies as well as senior dogs. Our dogs were very happy having him sit with them while we were gone for the day. We highly recommend Austin.”
About: I think about my service as to satisfy my clients peace of mind, but also to give the animal I’m caring for nothing short of a fun experience! I want every animal I meet to associate me with fun and excitement I’ve always managed pet care into my daily life, whether it was for others or my own pets! Pet care is a responsibility that I’ve grown up with and have had my entire life, and I wouldn’t let a single thing stop me from making sure animals are cared for the way the need to be. Each animal has its own specific need. That is something that I will talk with the client about, but it’s also something I’ve very observant at. Some would like to just play, others may like to sit with you and enjoy your company. And maybe it’s a mixture of both, or something completely different. I see it as making sure each animal gets what they want so they can live an amazing life that they deserve.
About: I currently have three dogs, a golden retriver, a dachshund mix, and a golden retriver german shepard mixed puppy. I have grown up around dogs and many kinds of animals. Since I was young I have taken care of my dogs, I walk, feed, and clean them. Additionally, I know how to handle a difficult dog becuase my recently deceased lab mix had some behavioral issues which I think is important because not all dogs are easy to walk. I'm currently a college student home for the summer. I'm essentially a sitting duck right now, meaning my schedule is wide open. I can come in the morning, night, or afternoon. I make sure to walk my dogs at least once a day but I try to make it twice a day. I feed and weight my dogs food before giving it to them, and make sure to feed them at the same time everyday. I am very good with dogs and respectful of peoples homes and make sure to keep my own home clean while having three dogs.
“I can’t say enough about what a wonderful help and a great communicator Courtney has been during our time away! She took such great care of our two dogs, sent updates and pictures regularly and was always extremely thoughtful. Our house was spotless and she will highly recommend her services.”
“Marty was amazing! She took care of our pets and home like they were her own! She was great with communication always keeping in touch and sending updates! Would highly recommend Marty if you don’t want to have any second guessed while you are gone as she holds it down! We have 3 dogs - 9 month old puppy, an 8 year old frenchie and a 15 year old Pomeranian! Each dog has specific needs from play time to medication and she takes care of it all with absolutely no problem! Thank you again Marty!”
“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!”
About: Hi, I’m Leyli! 🐾 I’ve been caring for pets for over 10 years, and I love every minute of it! Over the years, I’ve had the joy of working with many wonderful repeat clients, and I always treat every pet like my own. Services & What I'll Do Dog Walking: Fun neighborhood walks, playful runs, or gentle strolls tailored to your dog's pace. Drop-In Visits: Feeding, fresh water, medication if needed, quick cleanups, and lots of cozy playtime and cuddles. Overnight House Sitting: Caring for your pet in your home so they can stay happy, safe, and relaxed in their familiar routine. With a flexible weekly routine, I am regularly available for morning, afternoon, and evening walks, as well as drop-in care and overnight sitting. I prioritize consistency so your pet gets their meals, walks, and rest at the exact times they're used to I provide attentive, trustworthy care right in the comfort of your pet’s home to keep their environment familiar and stress-free. I strictly follow your specific household rules, care routines, and security instructions.
“Dee Dee made me feel confident that she understood what needed to be done during her stay here. I have never left someone I don’t know in charge of my house so I was very nervous. I came home to happy animals and a clean house. She even stripped her bed and washed the sheets!”
About: I’ve been caring for animals for most of my life and currently have 6 horses, 5 ducks, 5 cats, a dog, bunnies, and a hamster. All of these animals are under my responsibility, and I help provide their daily care, including feeding, cleaning, exercise, grooming, and monitoring their health. Growing up around so many different types of animals has taught me patience, responsibility, and how to understand each pet’s unique needs and personality. I am a true animal lover and treat every pet as if it were my own, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I am a full-time equestrian show Jumper and we usually go out of town about once an every other month from Wednesday to Sunday. I will know if I'm leaving out of town months in advance. It will be no surprise. I also ride horses almost every day, so I'm usually at the barn in the a.m. but can always switch times and be flexible. When caring for pets in someone else’s home, I am always respectful of both their animals and their property. I grew up understanding the importance of treating other people’s belongings with care and respect. I will follow all instructions provided, keep the home clean and secure, and make sure pets maintain their normal routines so they feel comfortable and safe. My goal is to provide dependable care while giving owners peace of mind that both their pets and home are being treated as if they were my own
About: Hi there! My name is Sabrina, I’m 21 years old and currently a full-time college student. I’m a calm, gentle, and reliable person who truly enjoys spending time with animals. I’m naturally quiet and attentive, and I try to make pets feel comfortable and safe while their owners are away. I also understand how important it is for owners to feel at ease, so I’m happy to send regular updates, photos, or videos and stay easy to reach by text. I take being trustworthy and respectful of people’s homes seriously, and I always do my best to create a calm, caring environment for every pet I look after. I always do my best to adapt to each pet and owner’s routine so things stay as familiar and consistent as possible while you are away, helping pets feel comfortable and reducing stress or anxiety. I’ve been around animals my entire life and have cared for many different kinds, including dogs, cats, horses, rabbits, chickens, and other small animals. Because of that, I’m comfortable with pets of all ages and personalities, from energetic puppies to older pets who may need a little extra patience and gentleness. I have experience with walking, feeding, and everyday care, and I enjoy giving animals the attention and companionship they’re used to while their owners are away. I’ve also spent time around farm animals, so I’m comfortable helping with a variety of routines and animal needs. During the summer, I’ll have a lot of availability and will be dedicating most of my time to pet sitting. While caring for pets, I may occasionally need to step out for errands or other commitments (like other pet sitting clients for drop-ins or dog walking). Because of this, pets should generally be comfortable being alone for up to about 6 hours during the day. Sometimes this time may be shorter or split into a few outings, but in some cases it may be closer to the full 6 hours at once. If you would prefer for me to be present with your pet for longer periods of time, I’m always happy to discuss that and accommodate when possible. Additional requested time beyond the standard schedule can be arranged for $20 per extra hour. Any and all instructions you leave for me will be followed with the utmost care to keep your pets as happy as possible! I have 3 dogs, 3 cats, 3 horses, and 3 chickens of my own, so I know the nervous feelings that can come with leaving your fur babies alone for a few days. Because of that, I make it a priority to stay very communicative while you’re away. I’m happy to send plenty of updates, photos, and videos so you can see how your pets are doing and feel reassured that they’re happy and well cared for. I’m also very responsive to messages and attentive to each pet’s well-being, making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re gone. I also treat every home with the same respect and care I would expect for my own, keeping everything clean, secure, and exactly as you left it so you can return home with complete peace of mind.
“I knew my doggies were in good hands with Esther. I was able to relax and enjoy my trip. She did a great job house sitting and followed all my instructions. My dogs seemed well cared for and happy when I got home. I especially appreciate the pictures Esther sent every day.”
About: I've taken care of dogs large and small for over a decade from bull mastiffs to anatolian shepherds. As a Behavioral Interventionist/therapist with 6 years of experience, I have developed strong observation skills, patience, attention to detail, and the ability to respond calmly to changing situations. Pet owners can expect someone who is loving, dependable, observant, and committed to treating their pets with the same care and respect that I would give my own. Whether it's dog walking, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, administering routines, or providing companionship while owners are away, I take pride in ensuring pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m currently working part-time as a school aide and a first time dad, but have plenty of time to play and attend your pet’s needs this summer. I am available for sitting on weekends and week days anytime until the next school year starts on August 14th 2026. I lived on a fenced property while raising our dogs. I can provide pets with consistent care, attention, and supervision based on their individual needs and routines. Whether that’s indoors or out.
“Jeffrey was amazing! He kept us posted constantly while we were out of town. It helped us give us a peace of mind and we will definitely be booking him again in the near future.”
“We could not have found a better person to care for our two senior dogs one of whom is diabetic and blind and who both require multiple medications administered throughout the day. Zoe went above and beyond from the moment we first booked and was the consummate professional learning their detailed routines making them feel comfortable as well as us! Raleigh and Lily clearly adored her. We will not hesitate to book with her again.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs for friends, family, and neighbors, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playing, or sticking to their normal routine, I make sure every pet feels comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. I understand that every pet has a different personality and needs, so I’m patient, attentive, and happy to follow any special instructions. I treat every pet like they’re my own, and my goal is to give owners complete peace of mind knowing their furry family member is in good hands. As a college student on summer break, I have a very flexible schedule and am available throughout the day for drop-in visits, walks, or overnight care. I’m also happy to commute to make pet care as convenient as possible for you Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll carefully follow your instructions, keep doors and gates secure, make sure your pet always has fresh food and water, and maintain their normal routine to help them feel comfortable. I’ll also treat your home with respect, keep everything clean, and send regular photo updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Agoura
Natalie took the absolute best care of our pup. We treat our girl like our child & she did the same! She kept us updated throughout and made us feel so comfortable knowing our pup was so well taken care of by her. We will absolutely be using her again and know Riley will appreciate having her around again. She also left our house even cleaner than we left it!
I can’t say enough about what a wonderful help and a great communicator Courtney has been during our time away! She took such great care of our two dogs, sent updates and pictures regularly and was always extremely thoughtful. Our house was spotless and she will highly recommend her services.
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.🥰
Cecelia is a Professional, truly someone who really loves and appreciate pets! She took care of our dog Poppy who doesn’t always do well with humans and they bonded from the get go! We needed an emergency sitter for an event, and within 2 hours she made herself available and handled the situation like a true professional. I look forward to booking Cecelia for my pets anytime!
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.
Jezrah-Valerie was a great sitter for my little bad boy, Bu. Bu is a Portuguese water dog, which means that – – even according to the books – – he can be expected to be willful and quarrelsome. He has a bark that you can hear in China. And he knows what he wants and when he wants it he is very opinionated, but he also is the cutest little dog you’ve ever seen all 72 pounds of him and also one of the strongest dogs you will ever find. And also, he is very mouthy, which means that he will run his teeth along your hand, never ever wanting to bite you, but just to let you know that he has teeth just in case you didn’t know. He will not use his teeth on you unless you physically attack him, which is unlikely in a Dogsitter. The only time he ever has used them that I’ve seen was a giant Cane Corso, with close-clipped ears and quite an attitude attack attacked him. And so Bu defended himself admirably, flying through the air to avoid being bitten himself. At any rate,, Jezrah is always thinking. She is proactive and very bright. She loves dogs. She has a charming smile which never disappears. She is sweet. She loves dogs. She is generous. She is cheerful. My little bad mischief-maker was all smiles, even though I had been gone for 9 hours. I boo is not a dog who wants to be on his schedule. When he has to pee, he will tell you. He eats at regular times, but sometimes he is not hungry then so he does not eat. He gets hungry later and wants to eat so he tells you when he is hungry. You either have to have a Dog’s mind, or being in sync with his personality, or pay close attention to him to know when he is hungry and when he has to go out. I have had him since he was little.l, and mamas know these things. But other people might not. Just figured it out pretty quickly. And boo was a happy camper when I came home. I loved her personality and her attitude and the way she took care of BU. I told her she should raise her prices, but she hasn’t done it yet. I would say, if you can get her, and she has the time availability, you should definitely grab her when she is available. She comes up with her own ideas on how to do things sometimes and they work just great. I will definitely be using her again… just don’t take her on the night or days that I need her., please. Ha, ha.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Agoura on Rover is $60.45 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 11,665 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 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 Agoura. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
