About: *Use code CAROLG31006 for $20 credit on first booking* Hello! I'm Darlene! My family and friends also call me Caroline, so feel free to use either name. I have over 7 years of hands-on pet care experience and grew up with three dogs—a Husky, Chow Chow, and Cocker Spaniel—so I’m comfortable with different breeds and temperaments. I genuinely love dogs and treat them like family. What sets me apart is my attention to detail, patience, and consistent communication. I provide regular updates, photos, and peace of mind so you always know your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I work remotely and have a flexible schedule. This allows me to provide consistent attention, regular walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. Your pet will never feel alone, and I can easily adjust my schedule to meet their specific needs, whether that’s extra potty breaks, exercise, or simply keeping them company and comfortable. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I provide a clean, secure, and pet-friendly environment with constant supervision, attention, and care. In your home, I follow all instructions closely to keep your pet’s routine consistent and stress-free. I ensure doors and spaces are secure and never leave pets unattended for long. I also send regular updates and photos so you always know your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.

About: We’re experienced with dogs and cats of all ages, from energetic puppies and kittens to senior pets who need a slower pace, extra patience, medication, or a closely followed routines. What sets us apart, though, is how we care. We’re calm, observant, detail-oriented, and very comfortable following the little routines that make your pets feel secure. We notice if appetite is different, when a walk needs to be shorter, when the shy cat would rather make the first move, or when an animal companion simply needs a little more company that day. Pet care fits naturally into our daily routine and is something we plan around with intention. We keep our schedule flexible so we can give each pet the time, attention, exercise, companionship, and supervision they actually need, without rushing through care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, we treat both the animal and the home with a high level of care, respect, and discretion. We take time to understand each pet’s normal routine, temperament, boundaries, and environment so we can recognize what is typical for them and respond thoughtfully if something changes. For walks and visits, safety comes first. We pay close attention to weather, surroundings, energy levels, other animals, and any individual sensitivities or triggers. We follow the household’s established preferences while also using experienced judgment when conditions call for an adjustment. We are careful with home access, doors, gates, leashes, feeding instructions, medications provided by the owner, and any special household protocols. We also believe trust means keeping clients informed without making them feel like they need to manage us from afar. Our goal is simple: your pet should feel secure, understood, and well cared for, and you should feel confident knowing both your pet and your home are in responsible hands.

About: I have been around animals my entire life, growing up with family dogs and now loving and caring for my own cat. Over the past few years, I have regularly house sat and dog sat for friends and neighbors, handling everything from feeding schedules to long walks. I am deeply comfortable with dogs of all breeds and sizes, and I specialize in giving high-energy dogs the active exercise, walks, or runs they need while keeping their owners' homes perfectly clean and secure. I work a standard daytime schedule during the week, so my availability is tailored for dedicated weekend care and weekday evening visits. For house sitting, I am fully available to stay at your home from Friday evening through Sunday afternoon. For walks and drop-ins, I am available anytime on weekends and starting at 6 PM on weekdays. This allows me to give your pet my undivided attention when I am on the clock. Your pet’s safety and the security of your home are my top priorities. Having base access means I have passed rigorous background checks, bringing an extra layer of trust and reliability to every booking. I am incredibly respectful of your living space and will always leave it exactly as I found it. During our first Meet & Greet, we will walk through your pet's specific safety routines, emergency contacts, and home security preferences so you can travel with complete peace of mind. I also provide frequent photo and text updates so you always know your pet is happy and safe.

About: I'm from Oregon originally and I grew up with my own dog and would look after all my friends and neighbors dogs growing up. Now that I'm in California, I miss having a dog that I can take care of, so I would love the opportunity to help you with yours! I'm very laid-back and I understand that things come up last minute, so cancellations or last minute requests are always more than welcome. I can't wait to meet you and your wonderful pets! I work from home full-time and would love some company while I work, or a welcome break for a walk and/or play time with your pet! I love to show my pets attention, let them rest, and make sure that they are safe at all times. I have my own set of guidelines that I follow, but I’m always willing to learn more and implement whatever you need for your pet.

About: Hey there! I have lived my entire 30 years with dogs. From growing up with two golden retrievers to getting my own dog louie at 17- and seeing him through his senior years all the way up until his passing this past February. We still have his sweet loving sister Nala who is 5, a tender gentle girl who lives for fetch! She may be timid at first meet but is just a submissive gentle girl who eventually opens up for fun loving play if the other dog will have her :) I have dog and cat sat for family and friends since I can remember. I absolutely love animals and take care of them with immense responsibility and care as I know from my own experience they are often some of the most important beings in our life. My husband Louie (my dog Louie came first they just happened to have the same name! lol) is also an animal lover and instantly adopted my babies upon meeting and has always treated them with tender and diligent care. We are responsible loving and caring pet parents who take the responsibility of looking after your loved one very seriously! Please feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns. We look forward hearing from you. I work remotely and have a flexible schedule that I create with plenty of time to work around the needs of the animals I am caring for. We currently live in a home with an enclosed deck space, however whenever we aren't home we keep the windows and doors completely shut and locked.

“Heidi was a literal rockstar when it came to watching our anxious dog, Kona. This was Heidi's first stay with Kona and she was really flexible in coming over for a meet and greet beforehand. The key exchange went very smoothly as both me and my husband could not exchange in person. All was going well for the first two nights, until our neighbor in the adjoining row house had a fire in the early morning hours. Heidi got Kona out safely, thankfully no one was injured, and was in constant communication with me, my husband, our emergency contact, even the fire restoration team that showed up later in the day. As you can imagine, with an anxious dog and a new sitter, we were really worried about the situation. Heidi had to relocate with Kona to her boyfriend's house as there would be no water for the rest of her stay. Given the situation, we had our emergency contacts take Kona for the last night of Heidi's scheduled stay; we were pretty concerned about her 'delicate disposition' (i.e. Kona is a basketcase who does not handle change and new people well). We are so thankful that Heidi was there for Kona - and us - with the constant communication, flexibility, and overall care and concern she showed for our little girl. Several of our neighbors mentioned to us that our dog sitter did an excellent job keeping Kona calm while first responders addressed the situation. I think it's safe to say that Heidi is an exceptionally trustworthy individual who can more than adequately care for your fur babies - no matter the circumstances - when you're out of town. Thank you Heidi!!!”

About: I have taken care of many different dogs and cats over the years and always go above and beyond to make them and their parents happy. I have worked with small and large dogs, and can care for multiple pets at a time. I love animals so much and watching them is always the best part of my day! I have my own business so I am able to leave and walk a dog whenever I need to! When doing doggy day care or boarding I will often bring the pup with me to the gallery so it can hang out. I am very attentive and any time I am walking a dog I make sure to be very aware of our surroundings. Even when I let them out in a backyard I make sure to keep an eye on them. I always make sure everything is okay before I leave (checking there’s no food out, making sure they have enough water, triple checking there’s door is closed and locked!)

About: Hello everyone. My name is Morgan. I am a former veterinary assistant with 10 years experience in the medical field. My dog passed away recently, so I’m looking to get back into working with animals in a more relaxed way. I am more than happy to do housesitting/pet sitting and daily dog walks or just coming to keep your cat some company at home while you’re at work if you don’t want them to be alone. I work part time so I will have plenty of time to spend with your babies. I’m looking to establish a strongly base and make Rover full-time :) I would like to get into housesitting/pet sitting and dog walking. I also would like to get into cat care whether that is babysitting while you’re on vacation or if you just want them to have some company while you’re at work.

About: Hi, I'm Corinne, Please call me "C" (all my friends do)! I believe every pet has their own story - and I'm here to listen, love, and care for them as if they were my own. Whether your fur baby is an energetic puppy, a shy rescue, or a senior who needs a little extra support, I provide personalized, heart-centered care designed around their unique personality and needs. CPR-certified and experienced with puppy training, senior care, anxiety management, and administering medications. From long walks and playtime to gentle snuggles and quiet companionship, I focus on making sure your pet feels safe, understood, and loved (and that you feel completely at ease while you're away). For me, this isn't just pet sitting - it's about building trust, creating connection, and giving each tail the attention it deserves. Serving: North County San Diego (Carlsbad, Encinitas, Oceanside, RSF, Vista, and surrounding areas.) Pet care is part of my everyday life! My schedule is flexible, so I can adjust to your pet's routine - early morning, midday walks, or overnight snuggles included. Your pet's comfort and safety come first. I provide care exclusively in your home so your pet feels secure in their familiar space. I follow their routine to keep them happy and stress-free. You won't feel like a stranger is in your home - more like an old family friend who loves and respects your pets as much as you do.

About: I have had dogs all of my life, and have had the responsibility of walking, feeding, and playing with them for as long as I can remember. I have also dog sat on many different occasions for friends and enjoy this a lot. I just graduated from Liberty university in Virginia! I currently work remote for a marketing agency, and am a Crossfit coach at Redline Crossfit! With my job being remote I have plenty of flexibility with my schedule so should be able to do walks or drop ins very frequently! I plan to care for pets in my clients home by building trust with the client as well as their pet. I think it's best to try and create an environment that is similar if not entirely the same as what the pet is used too, whether that be routines, or other things.

Once again, Selina was the perfect dog and house sitter. This time, without missing a beat, she took care of Stella's medications, which have become much more complicated... While we were away, Selina was very attentive to keeping us in the loop on how Stella was doing and sending daily pictures. Highly recommended!

Dog handlers don’t just take care of fur babies, they also take care of the clients as well. And some of us are worse than the dogs. I’m one of those. My dogs are my obsession and I’m very particular in their care. For the first time ever, I left my dogs in the care of someone who wasn’t me (1st in five years). My anxiety was through the roof. Joel was EXCEPTIONAL. Joel handled my crazy and the dogs with grace and kindness , and I’m suspicious that Axel and Harley may like him better than me. Both of my dogs are German Shepherds and require a strong, confident handler. They aren’t couch potatoes. Joel was fantastic and took their leads without hesitation. He was mindful of Axel and Harley and thoughtful of my personal stress. I would absolutely recommend his services and will be using him again in the future.

FAQs for House Sitting - Camp Pendleton South

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Camp Pendleton South is $42 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $59 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 4,757 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Camp Pendleton South. 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 Camp Pendleton South 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 Camp Pendleton South 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 Camp Pendleton South 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 .

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.
