Madelyn played with her and give her so much love and attention. It was just what Ziggy needed and we were so happy to trust her with our puppy! We're also very happy that Madelyn will be coming back to stay with Ziggy again in a couple of weeks. Thank you, Madelyn!”

About: What sets me apart is a lifetime of experience and genuine love for animals of all shapes and sizes! I’ve had dogs since I was nine years old and have extensive experience caring for senior dogs, having had three of my own. I understand the patience, attentiveness, and extra care that older pups sometimes need. I also volunteered at an animal shelter for two years, where I gained hands-on experience working with both puppies and adult dogs, helping me become comfortable with different personalities, temperaments, and needs. As a Marine Biology graduate, I’ve also spent years studying animal biology and welfare, alongside caring for a variety of animals throughout my life, including cats, hamsters, and even tarantulas! Whether your pup is a playful puppy, a gentle senior, or somewhere in between, I aim to provide attentive, compassionate care and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I treat every animal as if they were my own! Having recently graduated with my MSc in Marine Biology, I currently have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability to accommodate pet care throughout the week. This allows me to be flexible with walks, drop-in visits, and pet-sitting arrangements. I’m happy to work around your pet’s individual routine, whether that means morning walks, afternoon visits, feeding times, or simply providing some company while you’re away. I enjoy being active and spending time outdoors, so daily dog walks are something I genuinely look forward to! I understand how important consistency and routine are for animals, and I’ll always aim to make sure your pet feels comfortable, cared for, and gets plenty of attention while you’re away. I primarily offer pet care in my client’s home, where pets can remain comfortable in their familiar surroundings and routines. I take the time to understand each animal’s individual needs, personality, and schedule to ensure they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for while their owners are away. For dogs, this includes walks, playtime, feeding, fresh water, and plenty of attention and affection. For cats, I’m happy to provide feeding, fresh water, litter tray cleaning, enrichment, and companionship while respecting their individual personalities and boundaries. I also have experience administering medications and caring for senior pets, so I’m comfortable following specific care instructions, dietary requirements, medication schedules, and exercise limitations. Having volunteered at an animal shelter for two years, I’m familiar with animals of different temperaments and understand the importance of patience, consistency, and attentive care. I believe communication is just as important as the care itself, so I’m always happy to provide regular photo updates and messages to keep owners reassured while they’re away. My goal is to treat every pet as if they were my own and make their time apart from you as comfortable and stress-free as possible!

About: I have been a pet owner my entire life and have experience caring for a wide range of breeds, from small to large dogs. I also have experience with senior dogs, special-needs dogs, and administering medication when needed. I’m very patient and attentive with animals and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level. My goal is always to make your pet feel safe, loved, and completely at home while they’re in my care. I’m happy to follow their normal feeding, walking, medication, and bedtime routines as closely as possible. I currently have full availability for boarding, daycare, walks, and drop-in care. My partner and I both work from home, which means pets staying with us get plenty of attention and are rarely left alone for extended periods. Because we’re home throughout the day, I’m also able to accommodate frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, medication schedules, and pets who may need a little extra companionship or supervision. I live in a spacious 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom townhouse in a gated community with a private side yard, giving your pup plenty of room to relax, play, and feel comfortable. Our neighborhood is great for walks, and there is also a dog park just up the hill for pups who enjoy some extra exercise and outdoor time. There’s plenty of indoor space for beds, toys, crates, and quiet areas for dogs who prefer having their own space.

About: I have two years of experience caring for pets and always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m responsible, patient, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. I can help with feeding, walks, playtime, basic care, and keeping pets company while their owners are away. I treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure they get plenty of attention and affection. I currently work around 30–35 hours a week, but I’m happy to provide pet care around my work schedule. I’m available for drop-in visits, walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins before or after work and on my days off. I provide pet care in my client’s home, where pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully, keep doors and gates secure, and make sure pets have fresh food, water, attention, and a clean and safe space.

About: I have taken care of many dogs. I had a Samoyed and a multipoo myself for many years. I love how affectionate dogs are. I am great at sticking to feeding schedules. I enjoy petting and playing with a dog kindly and gently. I have a big backyard that is fenced where a dog can run and play safely. I work part time, not everyday, and just a few hours a day, so I am a great companion to your sweet lovable pet. I am gentle, caring, loving, warm hearted. I am very empathetic to pets because they are loving beings. I will often take them for bathroom breaks, pet, and feed on schedule. I want the pet to feel safe and happy and the owner to relax and enjoy their time away. I have a fenced backyard. I accept cats or small dogs only. The pet will have space to run and play. I am gentle with my voice and my affection to the pet. I have a big heart and am also good at keeping a feeding schedule. I am warm hearted and responsible.

About: I have had many pets of all kinds. I love them all. As well as my own pets I have experience with other animals from volunteering at the West Valley Animal shelter as well as pet sitting for family and friends. I am very passionate about animal welfare. I’m happy to help with feeding, walks, playtime, cuddles, and just keeping them company. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable and loved while you’re away, giving you peace of mind they’re in good hands. I am currently not working so my schedule is very flexible. I am available for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting. I love to hang out with my own pets and would love to hang out with yours too! I have two dogs, one cat, and two birds. The dogs and cat have access to a doggy/cat dog that leads to the back yard which is fenced in.

Walk, wash, play, anything you need. I’m your pal! I’m currently working freelance so hours are all over, which allows me a heck of free time! I am able to work with your schedules and availability. I live in a gated complex, no running into the streets. The area is pretty spacious so walks may be down within the gated complex.

About: I am a caring, attentive, and reliable pet caregiver with 10 years of professional experience. I have worked primarily with dogs, though I also have some experience with cats, small mammals, and birds. I treat every pet in my care as if they were my own, ensuring them lots of attention, affection, and love. I have experience working with dogs of many different sizes, breeds, and ages. I genuinely love and enjoy taking care of animals and hope you will choose me as your next pet caregiver! I am fortunate to have a very flexible part-time work schedule, which allows me to be available for all of your pet care needs! BOARDING: I live in a 2nd-floor apartment in a quiet, peaceful, and walkable community. I accept boardings for one family at a time, ensuring a calm and peaceful experience for all. Due to the quiet nature of my apartment community, I prefer to board calm-tempered dogs to avoid noise complaints from excessive and/or loud barking. I can board 2 dogs from the same family at a time, though for large dogs I limit to 1 due to the size of my apartment. I have a large and safe, pet-proofed balcony where the dogs are welcome to lounge and explore. I also welcome pets on my couch and bed to ensure maximum comfort. While boarding dogs, I make sure to be present all or majority of the time. HOUSE SITTING: For pet sitting in your home, I follow all instructions provided to me while staying respectful of your space and privacy. I always clean up after myself and leave the space cleaner than I found it.

Sky was incredible with our pups and with our home. She navigated several challenges seemlessly which included our pup having some loose stool, house repair men arriving throughout her stay as well as getting one of our very picky pups to eat. She left our house extremely tidy and washed and made the guest bedroom perfectly. It was a joy to come back to happy pups and a clean home! She communicated with us throughout our trip the exact right amount. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Sky! She is a gem and we feel very blessed to have found her for all our pup care needs.

Bouvier was above and beyond communicative and caring of our 2 senior Golden Retrievers, one with medical needs and the other that developed a medical need while we were gone. We felt in the loop the entire time although we were a Continent away. She took over sitting in between another sitter’s stay and was more than willing to communicate personally with her about the status of the pups. We are grateful to Bouvier and look forward to having her our pups in the future.

Lexy was awesome! We were very nervous leaving our crew of 4 pups 2 cats and 1 lizard while went on vacation for a week. She had no problem dealing with the shenanigans of our 1 year old pup while bonding with our other middle aged and senior dogs. She followed all of our instructions to a t and sent plenty of sweet updates and photos. It felt like she really bonded with everyone and seamlessly jumped into their routine. She asked questions whenever she wasn't sure about something to make sure she got it done right. She happily brought in all of our packages and mail and left the house in great condition. We feel so lucky to have finally found someone we can trust with our squad. Definitely would recommend!

I highly recommend Luke to take care of your furry family. Our dog is wary of strange men at the outset but she warmed up to Luke very quickly. This was our first vacation away from her since we rescued her so we weren't sure how she'd handle the change in caretakers but she did better than I expected. Luke was responsive and sent daily pics and updates. He was also great at watching our house for us while we were out of town. Thanks Luke!

Absolutely outstanding care of my young rescue. Jasmine took the time to come to my home before the actual sitting date to ensure it would be easier on my dog when staying with a new person. Jasmine stayed for close to an hour until my dog calmed down and engaged in play with her. She brought her own treats. My dog adores her and I will definitely request Jasmine in the future.

FAQs for House Sitting - Chatsworth

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Chatsworth on Rover is $43 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $67 per night. 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 11,635 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Chatsworth. 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 Chatsworth 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 Chatsworth 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 Chatsworth 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.
