“Thomas is so wonderful and thoughtful and all of my animals loved him. He gave such great updates and I felt at ease knowing my pets were being treated so well. I have a cat and a dog that are very anxious and he did exceptionally meeting their needs and they really warmed up to him, which is not a thing they do often! I also have a dog with arthritis and he was very cognizant of his status and made sure to take social care of him. 15/10 recommend Thomas!”
“I can’t say enough good things about the care my dog Domino has received. I feel completely relaxed and at ease knowing he’s in such good hands. Domino can be a little particular, but the patience, attention, and genuine love he’s shown makes all the difference. I truly appreciate the updates and how comfortable and content he looks. It’s such a relief to travel and know he’s not just being watched—he’s being cared for. Highly recommend!”
About: As a dog owner myself, I know how important it is to leave your pets with someone who will care for them like family. I have experience with dogs of different ages, sizes, and energy levels—from playful puppies to sweet senior pups who just want a slower-paced walk and extra cuddles. All my family members and friends rely on me when they are needing their dog to be in safe hands. My goal is to make your pet feel at home and give you peace of mind while you're away. I can't wait to meet you and your four-legged family member! I currently work part-time, which means I'm home for most of the day and have plenty of time to give your dog the attention they deserve. Whether it's walks, playtime, potty breaks, or just relaxing together, your pup will have lots of love, companionship, and care throughout their stay. Your pet will be staying in a loving home with two friendly indoor dogs—one is a sweet senior, and the other is a playful four-year-old. They have free roam of the house and plenty of cozy beds for naps throughout the day. I also have a fully fenced backyard where your dog can safely explore and play. All potty breaks are supervised, and your pup will never feel alone—they'll always have me and my two dogs around for company, companionship, and lots of love.
“Fantastic experience with Shauna. She was responsive and took wonderful care of our kitten, who has a lot of energy! She played with him and put on his favorite tv shows and updated us regularly on how he was doing. We've already booked her three times!”
About: What sets me apart as a sitter is the level of care, attention, and adaptability I bring to every pet I look after. I treat each animal like they’re my own, which means taking the time to understand their personality, routine, and specific needs so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I currently work fulltime but weekends I am fully available! I love animals and always have since I was little. Growing up we’ve always have had dogs and cats. I have a fenced yard and we have plenty of room for the dogs to run around. I do also have a pug that is 6 years old but he is super friendly.
“Wow! What a relief to have found Victoria! She is kind and sweet, loves animals and was so sweet to mine! I was able to go on a last minute trip with my family and relax knowing they were in good hands!”
About: Animal Care and service was my career and my passion for many years, since I was a child. I have had the opportunity to work with and learn from several Humane Societies and Animal Care Centers over the years. Loving, Caring for and protecting Animals have always been my passion as well as serving in my community. This is my opportunity to share my home, my passion and my love for animals with your (furry) family member and I am excited about that. I have always appreciated the trust, loyalty and respect given to me by the owners that love their dogs, simply put! It’s just a wonderful feeling to be around all that love. I am officially retired so I have plenty of time to spend with your furry family member, I also have a flexible schedule so that I can offer several Animal Care Services I have a gated front yard, fenced rear yard and a secure pool area if your dogs likes to have water fun, additional secure small Animal play Area (my Boston’s love it). The security cameras also give that little extra feeling of safety. I have crates, dog beds and private quiet rooms for the Animals to sleep or rest in if needed so your animal always feels totally at home. (because that’s the real goal!❤️).
“Tiffany took great care of my cat. She also left my home just how I left it so I can return and go straight to cuddling with my cat. Thank you for the excellent care and attention to detail Tiffany!”
About: I’ve been taking care of pets for 7 years. I’ve took care of friends and family dogs by walking, bathing, and daycare. Can’t wait to meet you and your furry pets to give you my best service. I have a part time job and I am available to attend to your pups at 6:00pm to 11:00pm after work. I’m usually off on Saturdays and Sundays. I can keep your baby company and make sure they have some fun activities to do while your gone!!! I’m so excited to see your pups!
About: Animals are a passion of mine, I pride myself on providing the utmost care for my pets and am eager to provide the same care for anyone who is in need of help! I work nights currently, allowing me to fit in late night walks and early morning outings. My schedule allows me to provide extra care on overnight assignments as while they sleep I'm able to provide an attentive eye throughout the night. I am well versed in pet experience, as I have three little dogs I love dearly. I am always extending that same passion for all pets, as I feel they're just as much apart of the family. I'm very attentive and particular, so any deviation from listed behavior would definitely be something I notice.
“Kate was AWESOME! She totally came through for our family last minute and took wonderful care of our furry friends Macaroni & Parmesan as well as our home. She sent photos and took the pups on a few walks, which I know can be a riot at times. We even ran into her subbing at our kids school lol. She has kind energy, we would and will recommend her services to our friends. Thanks a ton Kate, we look forward to booking with you in the future.”
“Eleonora did a wonderful job taking care of our dog and 2 cats in our home. She walked our dog every day and kept us posted throughout the visit with messages and pics of our fur kids. She is very reliable and we would definitely book her again!”
“Cyrillia was great! I was nervous about leaving my dogs with a sitter I hadn't used before, but she was really patient with me. I got a ton of pictures of my happy babies while I was out of town. I will be using her services again.”
About: I have lived with cats my whole life. Yet, since then, I happily decided to adopt my 4 beautiful dogs. I couldn't be happier taking care of them plus my cats. I also babysit 2 of my friends dogs and cats at times. All 5 dogs get along great and they keep each other company when I am here and when I am gone. I have also stayed at a couple people's houses and watched their pets while they were out of town. I am available at different times throughout the day but I can also be available at some nights. I enjoy spending time with animals, playing with them and helping them feel safe and comfortable. The other three days, I feed horses, so I am more limited on what I can do. I hate whenever I see animals that are bored or neglected. I am currently working part-time, but I am perfectly willing to spend what extra time I have taking a dog for a walk or playing catch. Plus, I love taking care of kitties too. I take care of anyone's pets as if they were my own. I want for them to feel as happy, safe and loved as possible.
About: I have taken care of my dog for almost 8 years. I am ready to walk, bathe, or any other help you request. No pet is too big or small! I am currently in school part time so I am available all weekdays after noon and anytime on weekends! I have plenty of availability to take care of your pets! I am very aware and attentive so your pet wont be able to chew on a shoe or dig up dirt! Any instructions for feeding/general care will be taken very seriously and followed precisely!
“Cassidy was amazing! She gave our dog and cats all the love. She sent photos and videos so we knew they were having a great time. She was great with communicating. We will 💯 use her again for our pet sitting. 🌟”
About: I’ve taken care of animals by feeding, bathing, going for walks, giving lots of love, and over night sitting. Animals are an essential in our lives to give lots of love to us. I currently work part time on Monday, Wednesday, and Fridays in the morning only. Full availability on the weekend so can pet sit anytime of the day. In my home I care for my pets by treating them like a family member. No animal should feel left out. My pets receive a tremendous amount of love whenever we can give it.

The average cost of House Sitting in Calwa is $42 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $56 per night.

As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 Calwa 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 Calwa 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Calwa 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.
