“Mariah was wonderful! She took great care of our two Basenjis and sent us several photos showing how content they were. We were a last minute booking and she was so very accommodating. We highly recommend Mariah!”
“Natalie took great care of our little Morkie, Simba. Seeing all of the pictures and videos definitely gave us peace of mind that he felt loved and cared for.”
“Tanisha was fantastic house sitting. Despite some initial challenges with our temperamental feline, she was professional and made us completely comfortable. We hope to have her work with us again soon!”
“Ana was phenomenal with Jeter. She listened and understood what our needs were for him. She was so sweet and she sent me photos throughout the day and communicated very well! Jeter loved her as well. We already booked her for a future date!”
“We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Amber! From the start, communication was clear and timely, which gave us so much peace of mind. She were incredibly caring, attentive, and treated our dog like her own. We received regular updates and photos, and it was clear our pup was happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. We came home to a relaxed, well-loved dog and couldn’t be more grateful. Highly recommend and will definitely be booking again!”
“Cynthia was incredible! Very communicative and sent lots of pictures and videos of our girl. This was the first time we have left our baby girl since the death of our other fur baby, Dexter, in December, so we were really nervous leaving her. Cynthia eased all of our nerves by spoiling our girl rotten, which I personally believe every dog deserves. Thank you, Cynthia, for loving on our fur baby so well. Will definitely be using Cynthia on a regular basis for doggy sitting.”
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and currently have a Lab/Pitbull mix of my own. Growing up, my family had 4 dogs and 5 cats, so I’ve always been comfortable caring for pets with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I have experience pet sitting through Wag, word-of-mouth referrals, and local Facebook groups, including drop-ins, walks, and staying with pets in their homes. I’m comfortable with feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, treats, giving plenty of attention, and keeping pets on their normal routines. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos so owners know their pets are happy and well cared for while they’re away. I’m dependable, attentive, and treat every pet like my own. Pet sitting is currently my main job, so I have plenty of flexibility and time to give your pets the attention and care they need. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and longer stays, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and schedule. I treat every pet like family and always prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness. I pay close attention to routines, energy levels, and behavior to make sure each pet feels secure and cared for. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or cuddles, I make sure they receive lots of love and attention while in my care.
“Jina is absolutely amazing taking care of our 2 babies and making sure they are feed and walked at the appropriate time. We were amazed this past Wednesday when I inadvertently had made reservations for a show that we had already purchased tickets for and had booked her for Thursday. I was not aware that I had made a mistake and she came to our rescue at the last minute and came over and took care of the babies. She was so eager to solve our solution. We would highly recommend her services”
“Sophia was absolutely amazing with Milo and Chase! From the moment we met her, we felt completely at ease. She was incredibly sweet and attentive with them, took them on extra walks, and made sure they got plenty of love and exercise. We really appreciated the constant updates—she shared tons of photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She even surprised us with extra photos and a detailed progress report, which was such a thoughtful touch. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the dogs she watches. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would 100% trust her with Milo and Chase again. Highly recommend Sophia!”
About: Never had a day were I didn’t grow up with dogs. They’re the reason I went into a career caring not only for animals but for wildlife too. As small as a chihuahua and to as big as a mastiff mix that am lucky to have back home in Texas. Moved all the way from Texas for a great outdoor opportunity. Enjoying what the greater Albany area has to offer and exploring more places. Dearly miss caring for animals and would love to extend my help to the surrounding community. Our fuzzy friends are great communicators through body language and with years of passion and schooling, it is my pride and joy to care for all critters.
“Christa was PHENOMENAL! She took such great care of our puppies. She was flexible to all of their unique needs and puppy behaviors while sticking to their routine. Christa was also very communicative, professional, and kind. She made it feel natural to not worry about the pups because we knew they were in good hands.”
About: What sets me apart is my calm, patient nature and genuine love for animals. I’ve grown up caring for dogs and cats of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments, from playful puppies to slow, moving seniors. I know how to read animal body language and respond in a way that keeps pets feeling safe and secure. As a Diagnostic Medical Sonography student, I’m detail oriented and show dependable qualities that carry over into how I care for pets. Whether it’s giving medication, following feeding routines, or offering extra snuggles, I’m committed to making sure each pet feels comfortable and loved while their owner is away. I’m also great at communicating, so pet parents always know how their furry friend is doing with photo updates and messages. As a full-time Diagnostic Medical Sonography student, my weekdays are fully focused on school. However, I have Fridays available after 2 PM and am fully available on Saturdays and Sundays. That means I can dedicate my weekends to providing attentive, loving pet care, whether that’s dog walking, drop-in visits, or overnight sitting. Since I’m not juggling work during the week, I treat pet care as my weekend job and always show up with energy and focus. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always respect their space and follow any instructions closely. I make sure pets stay on their usual schedule for meals, walks, and playtime to reduce stress and keep them comfortable. I take safety seriously, doors stay locked, leashes are checked for security, and I never leave a pet unsupervised outdoors. I also believe trust is earned. I give regular updates (photos, messages) so pet parents know their fur baby is happy and safe. I treat every home and animal like my own, with care, responsibility, and love.
“Tainali was amazing! Our Toby is very old and she was able to take care of him so that Nana could go to her grandson's graduation. She stayed in touch and sent pictures every day. Thank you!”
“Abigail is the perfect pet sitter! She gave Oreo all the care, affection, and attention he needed. He loves being with her. I received photos of him every day. When I arrived, my house was well cared for. I loved!”
“Delayna provided excellent care for my dog and cat over the weekend while I was away. My dog can be intimidating for some people to handle since he is big and dog reactive. She handled him well and I came home to a clean home and happy pets. Would highly recommend her to care for your pets.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Buena Ventura Lakes is $45
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Buena Ventura Lakes
Amber is the best pet sitter by far! She cared for our dog and cat and stayed at our house spending quality time with them. They both loved Amber and didn’t have any anxiety about us being gone for a few days. Amber is very polite, respectful of us and our home, is professional, takes care of your fur babies and makes everyone feel good and safe. We will definitely use her services again. She is a true blessing!
Tanisha stayed in our home while we went on vacation and she took great care of our pets! This is not the first time we have used her and it will not be our last. Tanisha is very kind, professional, attentive to our pets needs, respected our home and our pets love her!! I would highly recommend Tanisha to care for your pets! You will not be disappointed
If you’re looking for someone responsible, kind, and genuinely caring to look after your pets, Vianka is it. As a pet sitter myself, I really appreciated how communicative she was and how much love and attention she gave my two dogs. We booked her last minute for housesitting over Christmas break, and even though we had never met her before, she made us feel so comfortable and safe leaving our babies (and our home) with her. She kept us updated constantly, checked in, and shared little updates that truly meant everything. Tokyo and Ona already miss their new bestie. We’re beyond grateful we found her and will 1,000% be booking her again, and you should too!
Nancy was outstanding and very good at giving me updates as she was watching Bailey. She sent pictures and videos to let me know how Bailey was doing. She also had to deal with an emergency water situation at my house and did an incredible job. My sincere thanks and appreciation to Nancy.
Genesis is absolutely amazing! She takes such great care of our dogs and house. I think my dogs miss her already. She sent us pictures and updates throughout the day, and was a great communicator. I felt very comfortable knowing she was at our house with our dogs. We will definitely have Gen back again and again. She’s the best!

FAQs for House Sitting - Buena Ventura Lakes
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Buena Ventura Lakes on Rover is $35.52 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 3,059 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Buena Ventura Lakes. 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 Buena Ventura Lakes 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 Buena Ventura Lakes 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 Buena Ventura Lakes 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.
