“Christina is simply phenomenal! Her personality is very mature, warm, loving, calm, and her (really great) communication shows great judgement and experience with animals and people. She is totally not put off by challenges, and I have a large hyperactive dog, and another with fear aggression. Both dogs took to her instantly! She has an artistic side and always sends me photos of my dogs which are much better than I can take myself. I like that she is a problem solver and also takes initiative...she just takes care of things, calming my nerves. I return to a house with happy, exercised dogs who seem like they don’t miss me at all :) additionally, Christina shows great respect for your home, and took it upon herself to clean stuff, which was so sweet, thank you Christina!! This review is long overdue. Do not hesitate with her, she is fabulous, trustworthy and very responsible. I came upon her by accident when I thought I was texting another sitter and was shocked at her immediate and friendly reply, so I took a chance on my next housesitting. Boy am I ever glad I did.”

“Fantastic experience with Shauna. She was responsive and took wonderful care of our kitten, who has a lot of energy! She played with him and put on his favorite tv shows and updated us regularly on how he was doing. We've already booked her three times!”

About: My life is surrounded by animals, and that's the way I like it! I have been working with animals since I was 2 years old if not younger. I started out assisting in rehabilitating wildlife, which never left. I trained several dogs, from showmanship, to basic training, and even as a personal service dog. I have won several best of shows in showmanship. My daily routine is as follows: wake up, get coffee, wake birds up and let them out, let dogs out, feed cats, dogs, birds, make breakfast, hang out with the animals and wake up, eat lunch, clean house while incorporating working with the animals, bath time!, make social media content with the animals, start dinner with the animals, feed animals their foods, snack time, hang out with family, put everyone to bed, goodnight! I treat my animals better than I treat myself 😅 people/souls that can't help themselves, I've always had a place in my heart for, and I always do my best for them.

About: I have had dogs my entire life and have extensive hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and breeds. Growing up with dogs taught me the importance of providing daily exercise, feeding, grooming, companionship, and recognizing their individual needs and personalities. In addition to caring for my own pets, I have watched and cared for many dogs for family, friends, and neighbors. I am comfortable with feeding schedules, administering basic medications if needed, taking dogs on walks, cleaning up after them, and making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. I am dependable, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, treating every pet as if they were my own. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I've had dogs my whole life and caring for them has always been part of my day. I'm used to planning my schedule around feeding times, walks, playtime, and giving pets the attention they need. I enjoy being active and spending time with animals, so making sure they're happy, comfortable, and well cared for is something I genuinely enjoy. I am reliable, organized, and committed to following each pet's routine to help them feel safe and comfortable while their owner is away. I will care for your pets with the same love, patience, and attention that I give my own. I will carefully follow your pet's routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication (if needed), and any special instructions you provide. I will make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away. I'll also keep your home clean by picking up after your pet, refreshing water bowls, and maintaining their living area. I understand how important it is to have someone trustworthy caring for your pets, and I'll provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind during your time away.

About: I've been a pet sitter for more than a decade. I am thoroughly proficient with puppies and high energy dogs, such as Golden Retrievers. I enjoy looking after and creating connections with pets and their owners alike. I have open availability to care for your pets! I am currently on the job hunt, and I am pursuing pet setting as a side opportunity. I believe that the best care is around the clock supervision, and clear/concise communication with pet owners. I am always keeping the pets under my care stimulated and enjoying our time together.

“Melanie was fantastic with Juno, my senior cat, and Luka, my dog for a day house sit. Her communication was excellent leading up to and throughout the stay. She sent clear updates the whole time, including for Juno's med administration. She treated both of them like her own, taking Luka on walks and adventures around the area and made sure Juno was getting enough attention. She made sure everyone stayed happy, healthy, well fed, and was well cared for. I was pretty nervous leaving them for 4 days, but Melanie made it very easy and reassuring. I highly recommend her!”

About: I’ve grown up surrounded by cats and dogs my entire life, so caring for animals has always been a huge part of who I am! I’ve had 18 years of experience living with and caring for pets, and I genuinely love spending time with animals of all personalities. I’m comfortable with everyday pet care including feeding, walks, playtime, cleaning up, and making sure pets feel happy, safe, and loved. I understand that every animal has their own personality and routine, and I always do my best to make them feel comfortable. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets because I have pets of my own! I’ll treat your furry family members with the same love, patience, and attention that I give mine. I’m also happy to send pictures and updates so you can feel confident your pets are in good hands! I currently have 5 cats and a puppy. :) I currently work part-time while attending college, but I have plenty of flexibility to fit pet care into my schedule! I typically work until 6 PM Tuesday through Thursday, and on other days I usually finish around 1 PM, although my hours can vary. I’m happy to accommodate morning, afternoon, or evening visits depending on my availability. I love spending time with animals and am always willing to work with pet parents to find a schedule that works for everyone! Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort will always be my top priorities! I prefer caring for pets in their own homes, where they can stay comfortable in a familiar environment and maintain their normal routines. I’m very respectful of other people’s homes and always make sure pets have fresh water, proper meals, plenty of attention, and a clean, safe space. Having grown up with cats and dogs my entire life, including my five cats at home, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your animals. I’ll always follow your specific care instructions and happily provide pictures and updates throughout each visit so you know your pets are happy and well cared for!

FAQs for House Sitting - Ahwahnee

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Ahwahnee is $70 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $70 and $70 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 November 2026, there are 294 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Ahwahnee. 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 Ahwahnee 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 Ahwahnee 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 Ahwahnee 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Ahwahnee. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% 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.
