“This is our first time using rover and Sam made it a positive experience from the time i contacted her and through the meet and great and the entire sit. We had to adjust our start time couple of times but she was very flexible with that, we really appreciate her for understanding. The Sit went very smooth as well, we got all the updates even before we asking with pictures :) Snow was very well taken care of, we could tell that once we reached home since he was not anxious at all. Overall Sam is great and we will be in touch soon for our next vacations :)”
“She was truly amazing and went above and beyond when my golden retriever unexpectedly got sick during the stay. She handled a tough situation with so much care, patience, and kindness, and I’m incredibly grateful for how well she took care of him.”
“Mai was quick to respond and great with our dogs. We have a large 95 lb bernedoodle that can be intimidating. She walked and fed both dogs, while we were gone for the day and sent picture updates. Will use her again!”
“Charlene was amazing! She kept in contact with me daily, administered my older kitties meds, checked in with me to make sure I’d be home as expected and embraced one of the cats snuggling and sleeping with her. A true joy and highly recommend!”
“Ronni is the best!! She took care of not only our two cats but also our anxious pup and he loved her! He warmed up super quick and was very comfortable. Ronni is great and we will continue to ask her back whenever we are planning a trip!”
About: I’ve lived with pets since I was a little kid! I love animals of all kinds, and do my utmost to keep them happy and healthy. I have mainly experience with most types of cats, and smaller dogs. I'm currently off college for the summer, so pretty much any time should work with some notice! I have others at home to take care of my animals if I'm on an extended stay, so I can stay as long as needed. I do all I can to keep your pets happy and safe, I've looked after animals most of my life, so I believe I have some experience! I’ll ensure to follow any guidance you give, and give them plenty of love and care.
“Shelby was absolutely incredible as our dog sitter. She went above and beyond for us and for our pups in every possible way. Not only was she attentive, communicative, and genuinely caring, but she also stuck with us through what seemed like the worst luck imaginable all week long. Despite facing some fears and dealing with a string of unexpected challenges, Shelby never once gave up or made us feel like our dogs were anything less than her priority. Her patience, resilience, and kindness truly stood out. Knowing our dogs were safe, loved, and cared for so thoughtfully gave us so much peace of mind. It’s rare to find someone so dependable and compassionate. Shelby handled everything with grace, heart, and professionalism, and we are beyond grateful she stayed and saw everything through. We would trust her again in a heartbeat and cannot recommend her highly enough. 🩷”
“Isabelle was professional and took amazing care of our fur baby. Everything was in perfect order when we got home and Kawi was very happy. She sent us pics of her while we were gone. I highly recommend her.”
“Christina took great care of our fur babies while we were out of town getting married! We have never had someone stay in our home to take care of our animals besides family and there were no issues.”
“Johnna house-sat for us while we were away at a memorial service in Los Angeles, and she took care of both our cat and dog, and our house. She was fabulous. She went above and beyond, as usual. It is lovely to have someone so trustworthy take care of our home while we are away. I cannot recommend her highly enough.”
“Nicole is very responsible, and respectful. This is our first time having her at the house with our Addie dog, we have booked her for an upcoming longer trip, and there’s no doubt she will do a great job! Thanks Nicole.”
“I recently had the pleasure of hiring Samantha to look after my senior buddy, Buster, a cantankerous old soul who generally isn't fond of strangers. To say that I was pleasantly surprised by the exceptional care provided by Samantha would be an understatement. What truly set Samantha apart was her patience and attentiveness. Recognizing the quirks of my aging Buster, she took the time to learn his habits, preferences, and, most importantly, his boundaries. Rather than forcing interaction, she let Buster set the pace, gradually earning his trust with each passing day. She kept me up to date with pictures and communication, she also took exceptional care of our home.”
“A week before our trip our family member cancelled watching our 3 dogs and home. We panicked! I remembered seeing Jennifer’s dog sitting ad on Facebook. I downloaded Rover on my phone and set up my account. I looked all through Rover till I found her. She immediately contacted me back and we set up a meet and greet to see how she was around the dogs. She was great, very sweet and caring with our pups! We hired her through Rover which was a very easy process. She sent updates with pictures throughout the weekend. They even all ate their dinners for her which is a challenge for my Yorkie and Havanese. I greatly appreciated the updates and pictures throughout the trip. I would highly recommend Jenifer for the love and care of your pets while you’re away. She’s trustworthy, dependable, and awesome communication.”
“Omg thank u soooo much Deanna. My dogs were in such good moods when I came home- soft and happy! Thank you for taking care of everything 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 one of my boys needs extra behavioral attention on walks. Deanna was fantastic. I highly recommend. She’s a gem!!!!”
“Sabrina is absolutely fantastic! I highly recommend her services. My animals loved having her stay at the house, and she gave them so much attention, care, and love. They looked very content and relaxed in all the pics. Thank you for everything, Sabrina. The pups and Archie can't wait to see you again very soon!”
“Kayla is wonderful! She is a great communicator and asks appropriate questions. She did great caring for our two senior dogs. We are looking forward to our next trip so Kayla can come again!”
“Ayla was a fantastic pet sitter. She took care of our dog Henry and our cat Emily. She’s dependable, trustworthy, and went over and above our expectations. We didn’t have to worry about anything. We could relax on our trip knowing everything was going well with the care of our pets. She took lots of pics and shared them with us several times a day that we were gone. We will definitively use Ayla again. Thanks Ayla!!”

Makaila is very sweet. Our dog took to her immediately and let her pet him right away. He usually takes awhile to warm up to people. We knew that was a good sign. She took good care of him and our house while we were gone. Everything looked great when we returned. We would definitely recommend Makaila.

FAQs for House Sitting - Arroyo Vista
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 2,509 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Arroyo Vista. 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 Arroyo Vista 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 Arroyo Vista 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 Arroyo Vista 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.

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.
