“Sara was absolutely amazing! One of our dogs can be a little nervous meeting new people, and Sara was so patient. She came in, sat down, and let Heidi get comfortable at her own pace. She even brought her own treats, which the dogs loved. While we were away, she checked in regularly with photos and videos, and we really appreciated that. And when we got home, I swear the house was even cleaner than when we left it. Truly a 10/10 experience. Sara was fantastic!”

About: Hey I’m Sean! I’ve always had a big heart for animals and love getting to know their different personalities. I grew up on a farm and have been around animals my whole life, and truly a huge animal lover. Whether they are playful, shy or a little quirky, I believe every animal deserves patience, love and dependable care. I know how nerve wracking it can be to leave your pet with a complete stranger in your home, but i promise to treat your pets like my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’ll make sure to give them all the attention, love and belly rubs they could ask for. I have over 10 years of pet care experience for family and friends, and more recently have helped my girlfriend with clients of hers when she is unable to. They are also happy to provide references :) I recently graduated from A & P school and am getting ready to start my new job in January! In the meantime, I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of free time to dedicate to caring for animals. I’ve always had a big heart for animals of all kinds and genuinely enjoy spending time with them, from guinea pigs, to cats, to dogs, to horses, to snakes, you name it. I’m responsible, respectful of other peoples homes, clean, patient, dependable and I’d love to use this time to use this time to give your pets extra attention, playtime, and care while you’re away. Whether your pet is energetic and adventurous or prefers to relax and have some company, I’m happy to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved! My goal is to make your time away and your pets time as stress free and comfortable as possible. I will follow instructions to a T, and follow their daily routines. I understand how important it is to respect both your pets and your home, so I’ll always be respectful, responsible, attentive, clean and very mindful of your space. I’ll also keep you updated during any visits or stays so you can have a peace of mind knowing your pets are in good hands.

About: Animals have been a huge part of my life since I was young. I grew up caring for various pets, including fish, birds, and cats. During my studies in Turkey and while living with family, I cared for dogs and helped raise them hands on. I treat every pet with genuine love, patience, and attentiveness, making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to be present and attentive. Whether it's feeding, playing, or regular check in, I can easily adapt my daily routine to fit your pet's exact needs, ensuring they receive constant care, love, and attention throughout the day Pet safety, comfort, and well being remain absolute top priorities. A calm, secure, and loving environment is provided by closely following specific instructions regarding feeding, routines, and daily care

About: I’ve spent my entire life around animals! From growing up in a house full of all kinds of animals and currently being a proud dog mom of 3 and snake mom of 1, to pet sitting through my teen years, to volunteering at a special needs dog sanctuary for 3 years.. there is nothing I feel more comfortable doing than hanging out with and caring for furry, scaly, or feathered friends! I am available for care all hours of the day or night weekdays and weekends! I’m happy to do late night or early mornings 😊 I want more than anything to provide everyone that trusts me with their furry babies peace of mind knowing that with me, they are genuinely safe and will always be treated like they are my very own. To say I’m a helicopter dog mom is an understatement, and I understand more than anyone the fear of unknowns when leaving your pets with a new person and I hope I can alleviate that stress from both you and your pets. From the bottom of my heart, you can trust that when your pets are with me they are in a safe space and being treated with love, care, and consideration!

About: Hello and thanks for reading my profile! I’ve been caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities since I was a little girl, from energetic puppies to senior dogs. Currently, I have a Great Dane of my own (his name is Saint) and regularly babysit three wonderful dogs (two goofy Mastiffs and one sassy little Basset Hound. l’m comfortable with everything from high-energy playtime to gentle senior care, and I treat every pet like family. I currently work 7:30am - 4pm on the weekdays. My office is pet friendly, so I can bring your dog to work with me if you need me during the week. Otherwise I can be available for evenings during the week. My weekends are usually completely free though! I make sure all pets are comfortable, well fed and get play time in. Dogs aren’t meant to be idle all day, and as an active person I love to walk dogs and have some playtime in the backyard. My pets and my client’s pets always get spoiled rotten with cuddles and kisses. <3

About: I've dogsat for weeks at a time for multiple families over multiple years! I also have had several cats, dogs, and lizards throughout my life. I am currently not working so I am available when needed! I love walks and park trips. If you’re in Whittier or know a place in your neighborhood there’s large fields to play in! It depends on the needs of the client, my most common household I look after, they are showdogs so they have specific meal criteria and excersize. I've handled pregnant cats and dogs. My cats I have now are pretty chill, they play outside sometimes but mostly just sit by the window and we play with their toys.

About: I’ve always loved dogs and have lots of experience caring for them. I regularly dog sit for neighbors, family friends, and people I know, and I’m comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I have experience caring for multiple dogs at once, longer stays, and administering medication when needed. I’m reliable, patient, and attentive, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs—whether that means going for walks, playing, giving them plenty of attention, or simply keeping them company. I’ll treat your dog like my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I work as a teacher’s assistant at a middle school during the school year. I’m available for pet care in the mornings before work and am home around 4 PM, giving me plenty of time for walks, playtime, feeding, and attention in the afternoons and evenings. My weekends are generally free and give me additional flexibility for longer visits and overnight stays. I’m happy to follow each pet’s usual routine and make sure they receive the care, exercise, and companionship they need. Whether I’m caring for your dog in my home or yours, I want them to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I have a clean, tidy, and quiet one-bedroom apartment that’s welcoming to dogs, with plenty of space for them to relax! I’ll take the time to get to know your dog, follow their normal routine, and give them lots of attention and care. My goal is for them to feel comfortable with me and enjoy their time while you’re away!

About: I’ve had pets in my home since I can remember. I grow up with a Shih Tzu name Teddy which was my first love when it came to having pets. They are literally the way to my heart. I always had my own pets, but as I’ve gotten older moving around and taking them with me became harder. I’ve trained almost all my pets myself; well with the help of my mother and little brother. I've always had my own dog which has gave me much experience with handling them. I treat every dog like my own. I tell people all the time “pets are just family members that can’t speak” which is almost like that saying “your children are your broke best friend”. Both are still relevant. I am currently working remote 3 days out of the week allowing me to care for pets as needed & Keep your pet on schedule While in my home I assure your dog will get plenty of exercise with outdoor adventures (trails, walks, beach etc.) & keep them from harm.

We were very happy when Nadine agreed to come and watch our pup again!! This was our second time having her as a pet sitter, and she did a wonderful job!! We felt very comfortable leaving our pup in her hands. She took great care of him and sent us regular updates and pics! She took him on nice, long walks and gave him meds when needed. It was so nice to come home to a happy pup and a clean house. We will definitely be asking Nadine to pet sit for us again in the future!

We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter than Hannah! She took care of our Boh as if he were her own, making sure he was fed, let outside to use the restroom, and given plenty of love and snuggles while we were away. ❤️ Hannah followed all of our directions exactly as written, which gave us so much peace of mind, and she also took great care of our home while we were gone. When an unforeseen circumstance came up and we needed to add an extra day, she was incredibly flexible and accommodating. It was clear that Boh was happy, comfortable, and well cared for in her hands. We would absolutely recommend Hannah to anyone looking for a trustworthy, responsible, and caring sitter. We definitely hope to have her watch Boh again in the future! 🐾

Anna was INCREDIBLE at staying with our 7 month old puppy Daphne while we were out of town for a few days. At this age, we worry so much when leave her alone for too long, especially since she is still being potty trained. We pre-discussed Daphne’s daily routine and quirks at this puppy stage and felt that Anna really understood that. Overall, we felt so at ease knowing Daphne was with Anna who kept us updated with messages and photos, and moreso when we saw a photo of Daphne completely relaxed and content. Highly recommend!

FAQs for House Sitting - Ceresville

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Ceresville is $42 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $29 and $77 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 November 2026, there are 2,607 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Ceresville. 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 Ceresville 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 Ceresville 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 Ceresville 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.
