“Laura stayed at our home for nearly a week taking care of our Frenchie. We came home to a very happy and healthy dog and a super clean house! Will definitely be booking with her again and are very grateful for her care.”
About: Over the 15 years I’ve been house sitting professionally, I’ve had the pleasure of caring for puppies to sr. dogs, kittens to sr. cats, lizards, fish, birds, and even farm animals. My goal when I care for your pet is to keep your pet in the routine to which they are accustomed. That means I follow your written instructions, as far their feeding time, walk time, etc. Though, I also want your vacation to feel like a staycation for your pet. That means I’m going to have fun with them whether that means giving them belly rubs, playing fetch with them or playing other fun games with them. Also, please note that you can hire me for overnights, dog walks, or both. So, my price for overnight stays is to stay in your home and care for your pet, but dog walking is separate from overnight stays. During my stay, as much as I will care for you pet(s), I will also care for your home. I’m happy to water any plants, bring in any deliveries/mail, take out the trash and other light chores (I won’t mow your lawn). I work for myself writing online content for people, so my work goes where I go. The only thing I ask is that you have an Internet connection and someplace where I can set up my computer. As far as caring for pets in my home, I am only able to board certain breeds of dogs, and that is contingent on the permission of the homeowner. I am unable to care for cats in my home, but I would be able to come to your home.. In general, I always care for your pet according to your schedule and preference. And I am always sure to adjust my schedule according to the schedule you set for me to ensure your pet receives optimal care. But the key to pet sitting is to emulate the routine to which the dog is already accustomed. My goal is that when you go on vacation your pet(s) will feel like they're on a staycation. Also, please note while I charge $65 per day, I charge separately for walks ($20 per walk). For pets that do not require walks (cats, sr. dogs, etc), I charge $75 a day.
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was a kid, fostering dogs and cats, volunteering at SPCAs, and helping my mom dog-sit. My wife and I have 2 dogs, 1 cat, and 2 reptiles. Mya, our 7 year old Husky, and MJ, our 9 year old American Shorthair, have been with my wife for 7 years. Solina, mixed breed puppy, and our reptiles are newer additions. It would just be me providing care! My wife and I have a great routine for our pets. We feed them and take them out at consistent times throughout the day. We also take them on outdoor adventures at least once a week. We make sure pets are well taken care of while not letting them run wild. Our dogs are friendly and used to other dogs. The cat keeps to herself. We have a crate can keep dogs in rooms for alone time. If caring in someone else’s home, I would respect your personal property and ways of doing things.
“Japheth was fantastic with our girl!! Not only did we get pics while out of town, he took her on some great adventures!! She is a strong girl at almost 80 lbs. and he handled her easily. He checked in with us to let us know how she was doing and made sure checkin on our flights before leaving so she was not left alone too long. Will absolutely book again if he is available!”
About: Caring for dogs has been a constant in my life for over 16 years. I’ve raised and cared for my own dogs and continue to pet sit for friends with a variety of breeds, each with their own personalities and needs. I bring a calm, consistent presence and take pride in providing thoughtful, reliable care so dogs feel secure, comfortable, and at ease. Availability is intentionally limited to ensure each client receives dependable, uninterrupted care. I offer flexible scheduling with advance notice and prioritize bookings where I can maintain a consistent presence and routine for your dog. I’m best suited for planned travel rather than last-minute requests, though I’m always open to coordinating when schedules align. I take on a select number of stays at a time to ensure each home and pet receives my full attention. Feel free to reach out with your dates in advance and I’m happy to coordinate accordingly. I provide calm, reliable in-home care so your dog can stay comfortable in their own environment while you’re away. My approach is structured and low-stress—maintaining your dog’s routine, keeping their space clean and secure, and ensuring they feel settled with consistent care and attention. I work best with house-trained, well-behaved dogs in stable home environments. I prioritize clear communication, daily updates, and a professional, respectful presence in your home. Meet & greets are required for all first-time bookings to ensure the right fit.
“Katherine came to meet Benji prior to her staying which was perfect! She allowed him time to warm up to her as this was only his 2nd time meeting her. Would love to use Katherine again in the future!”
“Holly was absolutely wonderful and took great care with our elder Rosco! He adjusted to our being gone and started to follow Holly around to regularly keep track of her. We had her house sit as well since Rosco takes medicine regularly for seizures and she left the house cleaner than when she arrived! Definitely recommend and will certainly be using her services for all of our trips!”
“Very prompt and great communication. He was able to cover an emergency situation and we were very grateful for that. The dogs loved him, especially Toto who has issues sometimes with women so that’s why we hired Doug - really nice guy.”
“We truly cannot thank Belinda enough for how well she took care of our two cats while we were out of the country. She was extremely communicative, sending us photos and updates everyday. We could easily tell that she was caring for our babies like they were her own. She’s the best sitter we have had and will absolutely book her again for any future stays!”

About: I have several years of experience working with animals, beginning at the age of eight. Since then, I have regularly provided pet sitting services for family and friends.

There aren't enough words to describe Victoria's level of care, commitment and compassion for animals! Victoria took excellent care of our dogs while we went away for a special occasion. One of our dogs has complex medical needs and required emergency medical care while we were away- a nightmare for any pet owner! Victoria was on top of it, communicating quickly and always responsive. I worried less knowing our fur babies were in good hands. She also went above and beyond to befriend both dogs and our typically fearful dogs both love and trust her thanks to her patience and amazing level of care. We truly can't thank her enough! Anyone would be lucky to have Victoria care for their animals
Ravyn was a dream come true for us. We had only had our new puppy, Chloe, for a month when we had to leave town on a family matter. Ravyn agreed to take on the task of looking after an energetic, nippy, and not housebroken four-month-old puppy for nearly three weeks. To our surprise and relief we came back to a dog that was housebroken, could be trusted in the house alone without a crate and had learned several obedient behaviors! Ravyn was the best! She showed good judgement and seemed to have an innate understanding of our new puppy. Chloe loved her and we would definitely hire her again!
Victoria was amazing with my large crew! It was my first time leaving them with someone who wasn’t family and I was concerned with how they would react to someone new in their space, but she quickly won them all over - even my grumpy old Rottweiler and the anti-social cat! Thank you so much for taking such great care of them! ❤️
Victoria is truly the most amazing dog sitter we could have asked for. She took exceptional care of our five dogs, including our Great Dane, and it was immediately clear how knowledgeable, confident and loving she is with dogs of all sizes. The entire time we were away, we felt completely at ease knowing our pups were in such capable and compassionate hands. When we arrived home, Victoria went above and beyond in the most thoughtful of ways- she surprised us with homemade cookies and salt dough paw prints of each of our dogs. It was such a heartfelt, unforgettable gesture! We cannot recommend Victoria highly enough! She is trustworthy, kind, attentive and truly special. Any pet family would be incredibly lucky to have her care for their pets!

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 Bonsall 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 Bonsall 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 Bonsall 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 Bonsall. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% 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.
