“Abbagayle is so awesome! Her communication was amazing while we were gone and she took care of our babies like they were her own, we have three high energy Shepard/doberman mixes and she gave them play time and the attention they needed. So appreciative of her! We will definitely contact her again for future pet sitting 🐾”
“another amazing sit for my babies by maureen! my kitty cat took no readjustment time and wasn’t hiding from her at all. she handled my mischievous doggy very well too. informed me of when he got up to something and immediately fixed the situation with his safety in mind. definitely will rebook with maureen in the future!”
About: Hi there! I'm Sade (pronounced as shaw-day). I'm a down-to-earthy human who loves and respects nature and all animals (even bugs)! 🪲 Although I do have experience in caring for doggos, I have a special connection with felines! Please read my Cat Care details for more info! :)) Currently, I'm available throughout the week from 8am to 5pm. On weekends, I'm available 5pm to 930pm. This is subject to change in late October. Others have defined me as hyper-vigilant and empathetic. This can be a blessing and a curse but when it comes to caring for pets, it's definitely more of a blessing! I'm keenly aware of environmental surroundings and identifying unsafe details/ possible hazards (plastic bags, toxic houseplants, etc.), and ensuring that critters are safe in their homes. I also honor rules/ standards/ boundaries set by others, **though I will deny providing services if I feel what is being asked of me is unethical/unsafe**. Overall, I understand that each fur-baby is unique and requires custom care and attention.
“Averie did a great job pet setting for our 18 year old dog Remy. She provided a calm, nurturing presence for him that made him feel comfortable. I would highly recommended Averie for house sitting/pet sitting.”
About: I've dog sat for friends for several years and had a variety of pets growing up. I'm good at following directions for a specific pet's care. I work part time remote, so I'm flexible for house sitting or drop-by services. If you happen to have a bird, I can take care of them, too! I have a parakeet who lives in a large cage inside -- he doesn't know how good he has it, LOL! I also cared for a variety of pets growing up.
“Air was so great!! Bubba can be aggressive, depending on how you approach him, and he immediately ran up to her and gave her a kiss 🥹 He won’t do a lot of things while I’m gone, but she got him to go outside, potty, fetch, and eat cheese - things he wouldn’t even do for my family off the bat. I appreciated the updates throughout the day, as well as the pictures. This was my first time using Rover, and I’m so glad that I chose Air to watch Bubba while I was visiting for a wedding 🩷 I would ABSOLUTELY rebook if I lived there!!”
“Lynn took care of our dog for 2 weeks and we couldn't have asked for a better sitter. He was in very good hands. Lots of updates and pics of our baby, giving us the peace of mind to enjoy our vacation.”
“Anna was a wonderful pet and housesitter! She took excellent care of our dog and cat. Our dog is a rescue with some special needs and she bonded with her and cared for her perfectly. Her experience with animals shows. Our family highly recommends this caring, trustworthy, responsible petsitter!”
About: Since I can remember I grew up with all types of animals around me, I’ve had horses, bunnies, turtles, birds, but especially dogs and cats. I have a love for animals like no other and I treat each and every one like my own. I have open availability monday, saturday, sunday, friday- I have evening availability Tuesday-Thursday after 4:30 pm, I can stay nights, but whatever you need, don’t be afraid to ask and I sure can try to accommodate! I go with whatever the client wants, their pet their say, I offer walks, drop ins, cleanup, feeding, whatever you need i’m there! I am very easy to communicate with.
About: I have extensive experience and enjoy taking care of dogs of any age and size. I know about many breeds and their behavior as well! I am available throughout the week, morning & night. So you are open to contacting me anytime. This allows me to provide great love ❤️ and care for your pet. I understand that all dogs have different natures and habits. Please provide me with a short briefing on your dog’s needs and habits, and I will provide the best accommodations for him/her.
“It was immediately obvious that Amy has had dogs in her entire life. Both of my pups immediately loved her as if they had been good buddies forever. DOGS JUST KNOW! Jojo, the 1 year old Cocker Spaniel, always freaks out with new people, but not with Amy. The 6 1/2 year old German Shepherd, Princess, acted like she had known Amy her whole life.”
“Well, I can't say enough words to express our appreciation & gratitude... Ayla responded at a last minute request & surpassed our expectations... We only had 1 visit with her thus far & she was punctual, professional, respected our home, & was very patient with our dog... My husband & I do not hesitate to recommend Ayla for dog-sitting... Thank you Ayla & we'll call upon you again!!!”
About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for animals of all ages, from playful kittens and puppies to senior pets. I am comfortable caring for dogs, cats, birds, lizards and other small animals. Every pet will receive patient, loving, and dependable care. I am currently retired, so I have plenty of time to devote to full time pet sitting. And to create a great experience for all pets I provide care in your home so your pets can feel safe and comfortable in familiar surrounds. I will follow their regular routine, including feeding, playtime, companionship, and walk when needed. Your pets w2ill receive dependable, loving care while your away.
About: Growing up with dogs has left me with some great experience from dog walking and playtime to feeding and administering medicine. Of course your pup will get the best treatment but that comes with a good eye. I believe that I am great at understanding their needs based off their behavior, age, and energy level. Accommodating to their needs won’t be an issue. When caring for your pup overnight, nothing will change when it comes to giving them my full attention and making sure their needs are met. When caring for my dog Max in his last years he developed a cough which required extra care such as giving medication at late hours or simply being in their presence with some scratches. This experience taught me the importance of caring for an aging dog, being patient, attentive and compassionate. I promise I will care for yours as if they were my own! Thank you 😊 I am currently working full time although I will be available for night walks after 6pm on weekdays (Monday-Thursday) and boarding on weekends (Friday-Sunday). I can offer your pups toys and attention, whether it be in or outdoors. Whatever special request you have I would do my best to achieve. I only wish to create a happy and safe environment for them 😄
About: Although I do not have professional pet-sitting experience, I have cared for my own dog and nine cats for many years. I am comfortable feeding pets, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, providing exercise and playtime, and ensuring pets receive the attention and care they need. I am dependable, patient, and love working with animals. I work as a behavior technician on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays during the mornings. I am available for pet care visits in the afternoons and evenings on those days, all day on Saturdays, and Sunday mornings. I am not available on Tuesdays or Thursdays. I strive to provide dependable, consistent care and follow each pet’s regular routine as closely as possible. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize safety, comfort, and following the owner’s instructions. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication directions, exercise routines, and any special care needs. I respect your home and work to maintain your pet’s normal routine to help them feel comfortable while you are away. My experience caring for my own dog and multiple cats has taught me to be attentive, patient, and responsive to each pet’s individual needs.
About: I’ve had dogs and cats since I was born. I’ve been raised with them and i’ve always seen how they can positively affect the mental state of those around. Therefore, i’d love to get any chance I get, to take care and love other animals just as much as I love my own! I am available majority of the days in the evening past 3:30. Weekends and Friday for the most part are basically fully opened. I just work my schedule around school and sports. At the moment I take care of my 2 dogs and cat inside of a town house. Therefore I do not have access to a yard so I walk them all together. I walk them every 2-3 hours and feed them in the morning and night with a mid day snack. For stimulation for the pets i’ve taught them how to use speaking buttons and I give them treat puzzles when giving their midday snack.
“I loved how attentive and communicative he was with looking out for my senior dog. He has a hard time with new people and it made me happy to see he was so good on his second day with Martin. Will definitely rebook in the future.”

They did a great job of watching my dogs for me in my home. The dogs loved them immediately and wanted to spend the entire time playing or cuddled up with them. They were also really quick to respond to my last minute message requesting a booking. I really appreciate them being able to watch them and doing such a great job. I would book again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Calimesa is $50 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $65 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 October 2026, there are 2,024 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Calimesa. 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 Calimesa 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 Calimesa 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 Calimesa 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
