About: Over my lifetime I have had small medium and large dogs. I have also had my share of cats. I am experienced with senior dogs and giving any type of medication if needed. I am retired and I recently lost my 10-year-old French bulldog (Remi). I have found that I now have a lot of time on my hands as he was my main focus. I am available weekdays and weekends. I am available to care for your pets in your home keeping them safe and stress-free. I will give them love and attention and give you regular updates so your time away from them will be as stress-free as possible.
“Sara is excellent pet sitter. She was very easy to communicate with always on time. When we returned home our dogs where very relaxed and they were very happy. Highly recommend.”
“Sabrina was great to work with, gave daily updates with pictures. I have a very high energy dog who's breed is used for police and military work and she had no problems with him. I will plan to use her again when we need dog sitting in the future.”
“Cassie was awesome! She handled my anxious/shy pup and his high energy/no boundaries brother without a problem. I usually take them with me ad much as I can, so it’s been about 3 years since they’ve had a dog sitter. I was a little nervous leaving them with a stranger, but Cassie seemed to really enjoy their company, kept in touch and followed all instructions. Came home to a clean house and two very happy pups! Will definitely book Cassie again!”
“Very friendly and my dog Buddy adored her, she sent pics and videos and stayed in touch the whole time, great overall experience and I will be definitely using Nora again in the future!!!”
“I cannot say enough great things about Alexis. She stepped in on extremely short notice when I was in a bind with a work trip, and it meant everything to me. One of my dogs had just gone through major surgery only days before, and it honestly killed me not being able to be there myself. Alexis handled everything with professionalism, compassion, and total reliability. She didn’t just watch the dogs, she cared for them. She kept me constantly updated with messages and photos, which gave me real peace of mind while I was away. Communication was clear, consistent, and reassuring the entire time. On top of that, she respected and looked after my home as well. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, dependable, and genuinely caring, Alexis is it. I would recommend her to absolutely anyone without hesitation. She will be my first call anytime I need help again. Truly grateful I had the chance to work with her!”
“Albie was great with watching our dog while we were on a trip. There was some time to get warmed-up, but he pushed through and was able to have good interactions with him after a couple days. He is great about sending pictures and updating us on how things are going. We appreciated that he followed instructions and took good care of our dog.”
“Wow! Christina was simply amazing. She took care of my ailing dog who really struggling with end of life issues. She took time to make sure she took her medications and was so patient walking with her. Gracie’s arthritis is so bad that it’s a really slow walk with her so I really appreciated Christina’s patience. She house sat as well and left my home in perfect condition. Christina is not only a great dog person she is a wonderful person. Highly recommend.”

Experienced in feeding and sitting cats and dogs, in addition to taking care of other pets such as bunnies, lizards, fish, etc! I recently graduated from a doctoral physical therapy program and moved back to Ventura County! I am open and willing to feed, walk, and take care of your precious pets! Looking forward to working with you and meeting your lovely pet family members! I have reliable transportation to travel to your location in order to take your dog on a walk or pet-sit. I am clean, responsible and will always be mindful of all your personal belongings!
“Olivia did an amazing job taking care of our four pups, which includes a senior French bulldog, two very sweet, but very large and powerful Dogo Argentinos, and a second, very mischievous escape artist French bulldog. She took time to understand each dog’s unique personality and tailors her care to each. She was also extremely communicative, and sent us pics multiple times a day. Highly recommend!”
“Julio and Leanna were absolutely amazing to our fur-babies! They are a blessing to depend on caring for not only our pets, but for our dwelling! They work as a team and that couldn’t make us happier since we do the same. They communicate effectively and efficiently, daily updates and photos which caused us to be at ease! ❤️🙌❤️🙌”
About: I love pets! I’ve had cats and dogs in my life. Our animals are like family and I would love to help take good care of yours. I am happy to help out in the early mornings, or evenings! I usually work from 11am-6:00pm but I am free before and after that. I currently have a cat and I make sure I always have her fed, her space cleaned, and give pets. Lots of the cats I’ve cat sat for I will make sure to keep the inside if they are inside cats or follow instructions on how to get them inside if they are allowed outside.
About: I’ve been caring for animals for the past 7 years, and for the last 2 years I’ve also volunteered at my local animal shelter. Through this, I’ve had the chance to work with dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities—from playful puppies to gentle seniors. My goal is always to make your pet feel safe, loved, and happy! I work a 9–5 as an engineer, but outside of those hours my schedule is very flexible. I’m available early mornings, evenings, and all weekend. I live in a safe, gated community, which gives pets an extra layer of security when they’re with me. Whether I’m caring for your dog in my home or yours, I always make their safety my top priority—keeping a close eye on them during walks, making sure leashes and harnesses are secure, and giving them a comfortable, stress-free environment.
“Lisa was incredible and the best dog sitter we’ve hired!! She showed up for the meet and greet on time, and the dogs LOVED her. My dog Koda is happy to see you and then typically runs away but with Lisa, he cuddled right up to her. When she stayed in our home, she made sure to send lots of pictures that were professional quality of both of the pups and send daily updates as well. She was very responsive and texted us back right away. I wasn’t worried about a single thing while she stayed at our place. She was very kind, respectful, & I honestly couldn’t even tell that anyone had stayed in our home with how neat she kept it. I would HIGHLY recommend Lisa. She is passionate, caring, & truly loves on your animals as if they were her own. I can’t imagine booking with anyone else. She’s simply the best!”
“Fiona did a great job sitting for our pup! This was our second time working with her and she was great. He was well taken care of and she Provided updates and is a quick responder.”
“Gretchen did a wonderful job watching our fur baby. She arrived promptly and kept us updated on Ottis care. I highly recommend her. Thank you so much for watching our little guy.”
“Kevin was a great dog and house sitter for us! Conscientious, punctual and very responsive. It is nice to not worry about your home and pets while you are away - we will not hesitate to use him again.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Channel Islands Beach
Sara is an amazing dog and house sitter! We usually do not like new people staying in our home but couldn't have been happier! Not only was our older dog so well cared for, our home was as well. Sara took our pup on walks, car rides and all kinds of adventures and updated us with photos. The house was cleaner than when we left - sheets and towels changed out, floors mopped... I can't say enough about her and will definitely book with her again.
Veronica and Thomas came by early for a meet and greet. We showed them the kibble, meat, leash, and treat bag. They are a sweet and inviting couple. We gave them a key to come and feed Charlie and Veronica came to sleep at the house in the evening. At first Charlie was hesitant by sleeping under the bed the first night. They had won him over and Charlie found a spot next to Veronica the second night. They played the doughnut game with him which fills his little heart. They are a great team because I believe it was Thomas who took him for walks. Got lots of photos that helped us relax on our travels. I would definitely as them to help us again!
We couldn't have asked for a better house sitter. She was responsive and easy to reach the whole time, sent regular updates so we never had to wonder how things were going, and took great care of everything we asked — including our dogs and home. It gave us real peace of mind while we were away. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable and communicative.
We were more than happy with our experience in using Rebecca to take care of our dog, Charles. Our original plans to have someone watch him fell through (not through Rover) and we needed to find someone ASAP. We were able to meet her and our family instantly felt comfortable with her watching the house and our dog. She made a potentially stressful situation into a positive one. She was great about giving us updates and pictures. Charles loved her and we could tell he was happy with her giving him both walks and lots of cuddle time. She left the house in great shape. We would use her again without hesitation!
Jessica and John were wonderful dog sitters for Roxie. I received daily photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. Roxie looked so happy and well cared for in every picture. When I returned home everything was spotless and it was clear she had been in good hands. Thank you both so much for taking such good care of her. I highly recommend Jessica and John to anyone looking for reliable caring pet sitters!

FAQs for House Sitting - Channel Islands Beach
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Channel Islands Beach on Rover is $42.8 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 1,443 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Channel Islands Beach. 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 Channel Islands Beach 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 Channel Islands Beach 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 Channel Islands Beach 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.

- 99% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
