“Claire was absolutely wonderful in taking care of our 11month old golden retriever puppy at our home. She was attentive to her needs, took her on walks, gave us updates throughout the day, and made sure she was cared for in the best way possible. She was available to watch her last minute and even stayed later at our home when some unexpected things came up for my wife at work. We are very appreciative of the care Claire provides to our puppy! Highly recommend!”
“Lisbeth was great! She was very communicative and pretty sure my house was cleaner when I got back home than when I left. I felt very comfortable with my animals and home in her care. I will be using her again next time I need a pet/house sitter. Thanks so much Lisbeth!!”
“Lisa was able to accommodate our last minute request and was very good with our fur babies! Our animals felt safe and comfortable with her. She was fast at responses and was super helpful. Would book again”
“Mari stepped up and helped us out for an unexpected trip back home. She went above and beyond to look after our girls and took extra care with our shy girl, Emi, and won her over in the end. Our youngest girl 10 months unexpectedly started her first cycle and Mari cared for her and took care of her extra needs. ( we bought washable diapers to help during that time) We have already recommended her to our neighbors and look forward to using her again. Thank you so much Mari!”
About: Always had a love of animals cats and dogs. Pets are all lovable in their own fun and unique ways. I would one, guarantee your pet friends are looked after with the most care and attention and two keep, in close contact with you providing updates and photos throughout 🐕🦺🐈⬛🐾 On the weekends I’m the most flexible both during the day and night. Weekdays I’d be available 4pm and after for walks, drop ins or stays. I can’t provide lodging at the moment but regarding drop in or stays I’d treat anyone and anyone’s home as I would friends and family.
“Kaitlynn did a really great job watching my pups. They really loved having her here and she was great with communicating through my trip. I will definitely ask her to pet sit again.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats, as well as other animals like horses, otters, and seals! I love caring for and ensuring the well-being of all animals, regardless of size or breed. I am a marine biologist currently applying for graduate programs and have lots of availability! I spend lots of time working or walking which either cats or dogs would fit perfectly. I like to take notes and ask questions to ensure all logistics are taken care of when in a clients home. I prefer meet and greets prior to booking to make sure me and your fur baby are compatible as well as become familiar with the home.
“Jesse and his son did a great job with our pups! He sent us updates, was prompt in responding and is very reliable. We absolutely will use him again and appreciate all the love he gave our dogs!”
“Greta was GREAT! Throughout the whole process she has been prompt with communication and oh so pleasant. She clearly developed a caring and affectionate relationship with our dog and she was well cared for during our vacation. She also kept us appraised of their activities with plenty of photos, which clearly showed that Tilly was well cared for and having fun. She also took good care of our home and we returned to a clean and orderly house! Always a plus after vacation. I would recommend Greta without reservation.”
“Zoe was amazing ! Ellie loved and adored her and was clearly well looked after for the two days we were away. Zoe kept us updated throughout her stay and were so grateful to have found an awesome dog sitter :)”
“Sonia was fantastic with Rita for our first house and dog sit since adopting her. She struck the right balance in communication, which we really appreciated, especially since this was new for us! Rita has a few health issues, and Sonia handled them with real care and confidence, paying close attention and adjusting as needed. She went above and beyond for Rita throughout the stay, and we came home to a house just as well cared for as our dog. Can't recommend her enough!”
“Christine was amazing! She stayed at my house to watch my dog and sent tons of pictures throughout the weekend so I could get updates. She was so generous to leave behind some dog-friendly bubbles because my pup loved them so much. I felt reassured the entire time that my dog was in good hands and had a great time because of Christine.”
“This is the second time we had Dean house sit for us and our pets absolutely love him! We have a cat and dog and he takes such good care of both of them. We are so glad we found Dean to help care for our babies ☺️”
“Carol and her sweet, well-trained other half, Annabelle, recently cared for my chi mix, Kasper, in my home. It was her first stay with me, and she treated the entire experience as though she was caring for her own home and her own pet! I got pictures and frequent updates and "reassurances" that my Kasper was safe and happy and that he got along well with Annabelle. Her professionalism and attention-to-detail with my pet and my home was simply amazing. I came home to a spotless home and a very happy Kasper. Thank you, Carol!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Carmel Valley Manor
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 767 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Carmel Valley Manor. 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 Carmel Valley Manor 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 Carmel Valley Manor 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 Carmel Valley Manor 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
