“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!”
“Lily is amazing! Extremely conscientious, followed all instructions to a T, great communication and sent so many photos. And most importantly, the pups loved her. So happy to have found Lily!”
“Jessie is amazing! She took the best care of our pets and sent cute photos, which we appreciated. She also was trustworthy, responsive, professional and delightful. She was very tidy and helpful with other household needs. We will definitely work with Jessie again. She is fantastic!!”
“Elora is amazing! She saved our butts and booked last minute for a vacation we had planned. She took care of our pup for 5 days in our home and we were so glad he had someone like Elora as company every day. She was friendly, responsive and gave daily updates on our doggy. Definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a great sitter.”
“Ashlee is the best! She is so good with my doggies. She has to work to get them to warm up to her and then they fall in love with her. She house sits for us and even sleeps with our “girls” on the bed. She goes above and beyond so we always know we come home to happy doggies and a clean and well kept home! 5 stars!!!!”
“Amanda took excellent care of our 9 week old Bernadoodle puppy and left our home sparkling clean. Even our plants were well cared forr. Thurs was not an easy job, as we had juts brought our puppy home before the holiday and she’s not yet fully potty trained. Amanda was amazing with her and kept us updated on how she was doing. She is a lovely person to work with and a delight to have around. We will absolutely request her services again.”

“Ryckie was super sweet and really wonderful with our senior dog, who has terrible arthritis, is a finicky eater, and needs extra attention due to his need to "potty" often. She made sure to keep him company whilst we were out of town, and our home was perfectly cared for. She even switched a day up due to an error on my behalf, and we are so grateful for her flexibility. Highly, highly recommend!”
“Sarah is just the sweetest thing! So attentive our fur babies loved her! Very communicative and sent pictures often which we love. Can’t wait to have her dog/cat sit again.❤️ we would highly recommend her!”
“Trevor was great. He is an amazing dog sitter and an amazing house guest. He did a meet and greet a few weeks before to meet Murphy which was nice. Murphy instantly liked him (and Murphy can be particular). He sent pictures of the dogs playing and was very communicative. We will definitely use Trevor again.”
“This was my first time using Elizabeth and I have to say for somebody who was able to help myself and my dog Ted out last minute, she did a fantastic job. Elizabeth was great communicating with me and sending me pictures and updates about Ted. She followed all of my instructions and even tidied up the house before we got back, you can tell she truly is an animal lover, and I will be using her again in the future”
“Celia went above and beyond doing a few overnight stays taking care of my senior cat. She is a joy to be around and also cooked us a meal for when we got home. Thank you so much, you are appreciated!”
“Tabi, Mia and Sadie let us know that Shuree took excellent care of our dogs for 7 days. She stayed with them and fed and medicated them. She took them for a walk and kept them safe. She was very responsive to my questions and sent cute photos of them. We will use her services again and can recommend her to others.”
About: I live in the Sacramento Delta in a quiet neighborhood. Great neighborhood for walks and a nice fenced corner lot yard for your pup to run around in. I live with my elderly father who enjoys meeting new doggy friends. 24 hr supervision since I work remotely! I’m an early riser and enjoy morning walks. Your doggy will recieve a good amount of outdoor time and have an active and stimulating day. I’m comfortable with your dog sleeping in bed with me but respect if you prefer them to sleep in a crate. I work remotely so I have no issue staying at your house as well!
“Kimberleigh was our guardian angel for a last minute booking. Our tiny puppy loved her and she was so patient with his teething and menacing behavior. Thank you, Kimberleigh, I hope you can watch Rambo again for us in the future.”
About: I am a dog owner, looking to care for other dogs at my home! I have a very playful 2year old Labrador who would love to have company. Two is better than one. My wife and I would take care and keep an eye on your fur babies when you’re out for travel, short trips, vacaciones holidays or others occasions. I have a fenced yard for play and potty time. I also have a full house so you dog would never be alone because I work from home and so does my wife. We let our dogs roam free in the house.

I am ever vigilant on walks and take into account things like daily temperature when scheduling or planning walks/outings.
“Taylor was an amazing house and pet sitter! She took great care of our 2 pets Mia (miniature poodle) and Gracie (Fox wire hair terrier). The girls loved her as she took them for walks, cuddle with them, played with them and gave them treats. Taylor even left the house cleaner than we left it. I would definitely book Taylor again! Thank you Taylor!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Calaveritas
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Calaveritas on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 145 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Calaveritas. 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 Calaveritas 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 Calaveritas 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 Calaveritas 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Calaveritas. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
