“Adrienne watched Quincy for us over the weekend, and she did a wonderful job! She provided thoughtful updates every morning and evening, which I really appreciated. As a dog parent, it’s so reassuring to know how both your dog and sitter are doing while you’re away. During one of their walks, she also handled an unexpected situation with our neighbor, who wasn’t fully aware of their surroundings, and safely guided Quincy through it. I really appreciated her attentiveness and care. Thank you so much for taking such great care of Quincy this weekend! We’ll see you in October! 🐾”
“Tess is the best! One of our dogs is quite anxious. I could tell from the pictures that he was super comfortable with Tess. We received pictures and updates daily and knew they were in wonderful hands. To top everything, Tess was a super home sitter as well. Tess is genuine, reliable, considerate and a sweet and caring person. Six stars out of five!!”
“Jennifer is great and we recommend her highly. She kept the boys (2 golden retrievers) entertained while we went through the moving process and went the extra mile getting the house ready for a showing while we were out of town. Wish we could take her with us when we move. The boys love her and we trust her with them and our home. We will muss you Jennifer.”
“We were going out of town for a few days and hired Katie to stay at our home with our dog Chester. When I first contacted her through Rover, she was quick to respond and seemed excited to meet Chester initiating a meet and greet which I appreciated. She was punctual (which means a lot to me), asked appropriate questions, and kept me up to date on her schedule in case we needed later assistance on the day we were returning home. I leave a lot of instructions and she followed them exactly. We returned home to a very happy dog and a home just as we left it. Hire Katie! You won't regret it.”
“Heidi was great and reliable while watching Zoe and Lily. I appreciated the daily updates and pictures. I came home to happy dogs! I would have no problem using her services again.”
“Maria was so great with our dogs! She kept our house tidy, was on time, and was super flexible when our plans changed! We booked her last minute and I am so grateful she helped us out! Will definitely be using her again!”
“This was our first time having anyone other than family watch our dog. Also, the first time having someone stay in our home. David was excellent with our dog as well as respectful of our home. The house was as we left it with no mess or anything. Very appreciative of a great first experience for in home dog sitting. Thanks, David!”
About: I've dogsat for weeks at a time for multiple families over multiple years! I also have had several cats, dogs, and lizards throughout my life. I am currently not working so I am available when needed! I love walks and park trips. If you’re in Whittier or know a place in your neighborhood there’s large fields to play in! It depends on the needs of the client, my most common household I look after, they are showdogs so they have specific meal criteria and excersize. I've handled pregnant cats and dogs. My cats I have now are pretty chill, they play outside sometimes but mostly just sit by the window and we play with their toys.
About: I’ve spent my entire life around animals! From growing up in a house full of all kinds of animals and currently being a proud dog mom of 3 and snake mom of 1, to pet sitting through my teen years, to volunteering at a special needs dog sanctuary for 3 years.. there is nothing I feel more comfortable doing than hanging out with and caring for furry, scaly, or feathered friends! I am available for care all hours of the day or night weekdays and weekends! I’m happy to do late night or early mornings 😊 I want more than anything to provide everyone that trusts me with their furry babies peace of mind knowing that with me, they are genuinely safe and will always be treated like they are my very own. To say I’m a helicopter dog mom is an understatement, and I understand more than anyone the fear of unknowns when leaving your pets with a new person and I hope I can alleviate that stress from both you and your pets. From the bottom of my heart, you can trust that when your pets are with me they are in a safe space and being treated with love, care, and consideration!
“Kaylie was awesome! She house sat (my senior dog and cat) ensuring they got their medication. She did all the things I asked and sent me pictures am/pm. Highly recommend Kaylie!”
“We happily had Laurie spend a long weekend with our 2 dogs at our house and everything was great! She sent lots of photos of the dogs and they seemed very much like they enjoyed themselves. She even got my picky dog to eat. Respectful with the house and we returned to happy dogs and a clean house.”
“Best house sitter that there ever was!!! She washed and folded the laundry that she used (we didn’t ask her to), she helped out with Buddy, our Elf on the Shelf, and was great with communication.”
“Karen is an amazing pet sitter!! She took wonderful care of our energetic pup while we were on vacation! She kept us informed with lots of photos, videos, and detailed updates. Karen was incredibly caring and attentive to his needs and safety, making sure he got plenty of belly rubs, cuddles, playtime, and exercise. She also took excellent care of our home, and left everything perfectly clean and tidy. We were truly able to enjoy our vacation, knowing our pup was in such great hands. We would love to have Karen watch our pup again in the future, and we highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dedicated, caring pet sitter!!”

About: Hey I’m Sean! I’ve always had a big heart for animals and love getting to know their different personalities. I grew up on a farm and have been around animals my whole life, and truly a huge animal lover. Whether they are playful, shy or a little quirky, I believe every animal deserves patience, love and dependable care. I know how nerve wracking it can be to leave your pet with a complete stranger in your home, but i promise to treat your pets like my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’ll make sure to give them all the attention, love and belly rubs they could ask for. I have over 10 years of pet care experience for family and friends, and more recently have helped my girlfriend with clients of hers when she is unable to. They are also happy to provide references :) I recently graduated from A & P school and am getting ready to start my new job in January! In the meantime, I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of free time to dedicate to caring for animals. I’ve always had a big heart for animals of all kinds and genuinely enjoy spending time with them, from guinea pigs, to cats, to dogs, to horses, to snakes, you name it. I’m responsible, respectful of other peoples homes, clean, patient, dependable and I’d love to use this time to use this time to give your pets extra attention, playtime, and care while you’re away. Whether your pet is energetic and adventurous or prefers to relax and have some company, I’m happy to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved! My goal is to make your time away and your pets time as stress free and comfortable as possible. I will follow instructions to a T, and follow their daily routines. I understand how important it is to respect both your pets and your home, so I’ll always be respectful, responsible, attentive, clean and very mindful of your space. I’ll also keep you updated during any visits or stays so you can have a peace of mind knowing your pets are in good hands.

About: We used to board rescue german short haired pointer dogs when I was growing up. I have also grown up with different kinds of dogs throughout my life. I have my own dog who I walk at least 2 to 3 times a day. She is a very energetic and active dog that keeps me busy. In the past I have tried my best to care for other people's pets with the same care I would do for my own dog.
About: I have grown up with both cats and dogs- all sizes and ages. I helped my father train dogs for his business. I also have a service dog at home who is trained and got certified. I have my own cat baby who I’ve had since we were both young.

Before being left alone with your pets I would like to do an in home visit to meet everyone and go over routines and where everything goes.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Ballenger Creek
As I’ve mentioned in my previous reviews, I continue to trust and appreciate Adrienne’s care for Quincy! She’s always very responsive, provides thorough updates throughout his stay, and is incredibly reliable. I especially appreciate how attentive she is and how much care she takes to ensure Quincy is safe and comfortable. Thank you again for taking such great care of him! We truly appreciate all your help! ❤️
Laurie was so great with my pup! I could tell when I got home he was relaxed and at ease. She also sent me cute photos and videos to update me. Anything I let her know such as Hershey taking his medication or avoiding other dogs on walks, Laurie respected which just puts my mind at ease. Also, I can tell my dog just really loves Laurie and I’m excited for him to have her as a special friend for dog sitting and walks now!
Meghan took amazing care of our dogs and our home while we were out of town and was able to accommodate us last minute when our other pet sitting arrangement fell through. She sent updates and photos regularly and we will definitely be reaching back out to her for future needs!
Jessica is fantastic! We have a 16.5 yr old dog who is very anxious if we leave. With Jessica, he is stress free and very happy when we get home. She is prompt and responsive and sends us regular pics and updates. She also takes great care of our home. We highly recommend Jessica!
Jazmin was great with our two dogs. She was consistent with their schedule, kept them safe on walks, and kept me updated the whole time we were out of town. She was respectful of our home as well while staying there. Would definitely hire her again down the road!
Portia was fantastic! She treated my home as if it were her own and left everything spotless. Most importantly, she took excellent care of my dog and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. I would absolutely recommend her and would happily book her again.
Valeria was the first person my timid mini bernedoodle immediately warmed up to. She has that warm quiet demeanor. She was our house sitter my two babies and I felt they were in good hands. She let them be in the bed with her, sent me a picture and very attentive to my “puppy manual” that I leave for house sitters. She came on time and checked in with me before leaving. I will definitely ask her to have sleepovers with my dogs.
Jade is amazing! We have had terrible experiences with past sitters so we are VERY picky when it comes to who watches our dogs. From the very beginning, Jade was excellent! She was early, was really good with updates and did an excellent job. Our dogs love her and had no issues. We will continue to use Jade! Thank you!!
Anna was INCREDIBLE at staying with our 7 month old puppy Daphne while we were out of town for a few days. At this age, we worry so much when leave her alone for too long, especially since she is still being potty trained. We pre-discussed Daphne’s daily routine and quirks at this puppy stage and felt that Anna really understood that. Overall, we felt so at ease knowing Daphne was with Anna who kept us updated with messages and photos, and moreso when we saw a photo of Daphne completely relaxed and content. Highly recommend!
Coreen’s son, Ben, house sat for us. He was very prompt in his arrival and departure. The care for the animals seemed great but the communication was sometimes slower or more sparse than we expected or have received before. The house was left in great shape and our dog and two cats seemed happy when we returned.

FAQs for House Sitting - Ballenger Creek
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Ballenger Creek is $38 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $75 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 3,085 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Ballenger Creek. 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 Ballenger Creek 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 Ballenger Creek 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 Ballenger Creek 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.

- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 95% 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.
