About: Ever since I can remember, myself as well as my family have loved and enjoyed dogs and they have always been a part of our family. I got my first puppy when I was 12 years old. She was a rescue and I had her until I was 26 years old. Her name was Molly. We had many other dogs during that time. My sister's and I were who cared for them all. Although this is my first time running a business caring for dogs, I have taken care of dogs most of my life. Some people call themselves a "people person". I call myself a "dog person". I have always had a natural ability to connect with dogs. Dogs have always loved being with me. I care for them as if they were a child of mine. As I always have said, the more I get to know people; the more I love dogs! I'm currently a student at home so, I am available to give your pet my undivided attention. I treat all animals as if they are my own, like family. I love to spend quality time with animals. I also have good hygiene. I believe this is important because we all know how dirty animals can be. I am gentle and loving.
“Karaleah was great. She stayed at my condo for 4 days with our 2 boys. She left it just as it was when we left and even made sure to take out the trash before leaving. She made sure to give them their oral medication n followed all care directions.”
“Kaylah was awesome with both our cat and dog. She was very attentative and had much concern about our cat not eating the first 24 hours. But, the situation resolved with Kaylah’s attempts to make the cat comfortable with her. 😃 She is the first to follow feeding instructions and found our home very clean. She is highly recommended that I’ve already booked her for our next trip.”
“Gabriella went above and beyond to keep my two pups happy while my husband and I traveled to Atlanta to meet our new granddaughter. She even had to clean up an ant invasion in my house! She is so sweet and really cares about the pets she has in her care. I’ll use her many times in the future and recommend her highly! Five stars!!”
“Jordan was a total delight. She is very warm, caring, and trustworthy. She took care of my two cats for five overnight stays. My cats are very shy but warmed up to her quickly. Jordan sent cute photos of them daily. She also took care of my house and left it spotless. I highly recommend Jordan and will definitely ask her take care of my cats and home again. Thank you, Jordan!”
“If there were 10 stars to give, Mayumi would get all. She was fabulous! She bathed my baby regularly, took her for walks, sent me photos and videos, and when I came home, my home was as I left it and Saji was in happy spirits, well-fed and healthy. I will definitely keep Mayumi as my prime contact for when I need someone to care for Saji. I highly recommend her!”
“Don was great with both my dog, Neko, and my Cat, Teri. He sent videos regularly and keep me informed about Neko and especially how Teri were doing. Also, Don went out of his way to care for Teri, my cat. Teri has kidney disease and requires hydration with a saline solution every day. Don was wonderful with Teri by injecting the solution under his skin. This was accomplished by placing a needle under Teri's loose skin and slowly allowing the saline solution to flow under his skin. Don is very personable and I recommend him very highly for caring for your pet.”
About: I have over 3 years of experience caring for dogs and have worked as a pet sitter for three different families. During that time, I cared for dogs with different personalities, sizes, and energy levels. My responsibilities included feeding, providing companionship, administering basic care, and following each family’s specific routines and instructions. I am a college student with a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate quality time to the pets I care for. I truly enjoy being around dogs and love spending time walking, playing, and giving them the attention they deserve. I always make sure to follow each pet’s routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, walks, and routines. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect both your home and your pet’s routine to help them feel comfortable and relaxed. I keep the environment clean, provide fresh water, monitor their well-being, and give them attention. I believe clear communication is essential, so I provide regular updates and photos throughout each visit.
About: I’ve been a dog lover, owner and house sitter for 12 years. Your home and pets will always have my full attention, love and respect! I consider myself very fortunate to run my own small business and have the flexibility to work from my laptop. Furry friends and warm homes are an ideal environment for me to lightly work, and making sure your pets and home are loved, and safe while you are away. I treat pets and clients homes as if they were my own. Being a bit OCD, I pride myself in my ability to give animals the attention they need, and leaving clients homes in better conditions than I found them in!
About: Hello! My name is Fidencio, (my family calls me John, and you can too). I am 32 years old and have a long history of caring for dogs in my family. In 2005, my Father rescued a puppy from war torn Iraq. He fell in love with Target, our Iraqi dog, while he was deployed there. I remember my dad calling my mom, begging her to please find a way to get Target home, to California, over 7000 miles away. We went to work as a family finding any possible way to get our small puppy back home. Long story short, because we love animals, we got Target shipped to LAX. Target was what we considered an animal refugee. I remember going on the drive to LAX as a 5th grader to go pick up Target, when I first saw him he was scared, being shipped across the globe and being separated from his owner on the journey. But as soon as we got in the car we broke the crate open, we instantly all fell in love. Dedication to protecting a caring for animals is something that runs deep for me. And opening up our home to do that for others is an honor. I’ve attached some photos of Target, our 1st family dog. Looking at these older photos is such a trip! Blast from the past if you will. My Dad is now retired from the USMC and has a service dog jack, who is pictured above. He loves to play with other dogs and is very friendly. Hope you meet you and your pet soon! I am home full time and will always be there for you and your pet! Can be contacted 24/7 and checkup anytime. I’m just a call away. I care for other pets the same I would care for my own. With love, patience, and care. These things come naturally as an animal lover!
“As always Tim has done a wonderful job with Dunkin. Unfortunately, he will be leaving the area soon and I won't be able to use him anymore. If he ever comes back, I will definitely be using him again.”
“Costner, was a life saver! He was available to step in with only a few days notice…. To watch our two pups for 12 days. I can’t explain how much his communications and general attention to our pups meant to us. He was an in home sitter and the house was left as given if not better upon return. I will recommend and use him again!”
“My 3 dogs loved Darian! They were so glad they did not have to stay at a kennel or at home alone and that he was there at night. Darian also picked up the mail and took them for walks and gave one dog medication. I would love to have him come back and stay again!”
“Jeff is an excellent pet sitter. He took our dogs on hikes, to the beach and around our neighborhood. He became a full member of the "pack". The cats even warmed up to him. :) Any issues encountered were handled responsibly and he communicated with us frequently on everything. We will definitely use him in the future!”
“Kaylee is wonderful. She met our small zoo before our booking day and spent a good amount of time with them. Our pets love her and she made us feel at ease about leaving them. Our newly adopted dog fell in love with her from the get go! She has a way with animals that will put your mind at ease. We are excited to plan more outings since we found her.”
“Laura was very professional and was completly comfortable with my pets right away. She kept me updated and asked/answered questions as needed. She even took the time to clean up after my dog with incontinence issues. And, lastly she added a sweet touch by putting out a beautiful bouquet of flowers and a note of appreciation. It was hard to leave my vacation, but coming home was great. I would recommend her.”
About: I have always lived in a house with dogs. I have experience in administering medication to dogs anywhere from birth to the senior years. I have experience leash training as well as house training. I currently work a part-time serving job with very flexible hours. I have reliable transportation and can take same day appointments! I am able to check in as many times as needed as well as stay overnight, I do live in a house with a lot of animals so I don’t believe it would be a good idea to take other pets into my home but, I can guarantee to treat your pets and home as if they are my own when in my care. As a teenager I often did house/child/pet care for people in my community. I understand that I am a guest in your space and I can promise to act with respect, kindness, and integrity as I care for what is yours.
“Skylar is the sweetest most caring sitter! Jasper immediately wanted to snuggle up next to her. She sends frequent updates and adorable pics. Very thoughtful and kind individual who you can trust with your fur babies in your home!”
About: From the young age of 7 our family had maintained a relationship close to our pets . Me being the only child I have enjoyed it as I see them as siblings I never had I can do part time and full time on certain days . I am a full time cat dad but always have the time to spend it with them I always have an abundance of everything from fresh toys . To absurd amounts of food and attention for our guests . Have enough patience to take 3 at a time and that a virtue
“Ayla did an amazing job watching my dog. She took great care of him at my house, kept me updated, and he was super happy and relaxed when I got back. You can tell she really loves animals. Highly recommend her!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Anza
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 962 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Anza. 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 Anza 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 Anza 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 Anza 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.
