“It was a pleasure to meet Tina and plan for the pet care of my two buddies. She did an Awesome Job and the two pups loved her. She worked well with the pups and had a passion to get to know them and their personalities. I would highly recommend her.”
“Jade was an absolute sweetheart. Our sitter had to cancel late the night before and she was able to cover that next day. She answered very quickly and on short notice. She did everything I asked her to, and hope she enjoyed staying in our home for the few hours she did. I know our dog loved having the company.”
About: I have over three years experience of volunteering at a pet clinic, as well as owning everything from a Standard poodle to tea cup Chihuahua! I am a stay at home wife, working primarily from home within Odenville AL. Therefore my schedule is always flexible and open! This also means I will always be with your pup or cat during boarding! I have a fenced in yard, harnesses, and daily walks. We always keep the TV on so they do not feel lonely while we’re at work, along with constant trips to the dog park.
“Sydney has been a fantastic sitter for our dogs, Jettson and Slinky. Our home is treated with respect, and Sydney's thoughtful updates, complete with delightful photos, keep us connected with our fur babies throughout the day. We feel a remarkable level of comfort, knowing she adheres to feeding schedules and ensures regular walks. Jettson and Slinky clearly adore her, and we're grateful for the peace of mind Sydney brings to our time away from home.”
“Hannah was great and took excellent care of our babies while we were gone. She was very respectful of our home and sent pictures several times thruout the day to let us know what the pups were up too. She vacuumed because our fur babies shed a lot and ran the dishwasher. We will be using Hannah again for any trips we take short or long!”
About: With a background in animal care gained from two years at an animal hospital in Highland Park, TX I'm well-prepared to offer top-notch care for your beloved furry friends on Rover. My tenure at the hospital included hands-on work with a diverse range of pets, from administering medications to providing regular exercise routines tailored to their needs. Additionally, I've boarded numerous clients' dogs, ensuring their comfort and well-being throughout their stay. Trust me to pamper your pooch, right in the comfort of their own neighborhood! *I am not a trained or certified vet tech, my experience is general care only. As a full-time work from home-r, I'm seeking extra income to support my future goals. Available Fridays through Sundays, I'm passionate about pet care, drawing from 13+ years as a cat owner and professional experience. I also have a very active 2 year old dog who I take out to the dog park and on adventures regularly! Let me provide top-notch care for your furry friends! In my own home and while caring for clients' pets, I prioritize cleanliness and organization, ensuring a tidy environment at all times. My cats receive ample love and attention, with their needs, including a clean litter box, promptly attended to. Regular cleaning schedules are maintained to uphold a pristine living space for both my pets and those under my care. Rest assured, the well-being of animals always takes precedence in house care routines.
“Loralyn is wonderful! Kept in touch and gave us updates on our girls. She was very considerate of our home and took great care of all of my little asks. We will definitely use Loralyn again!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my hands-on experience as a pet owner my whole life for cats and dogs (I have one Shih-tzu and one cat as of now!). I have also provided walks for other pets for 2 years for my family and friends, offering personalized care and a deep understanding of animal behavior and needs. My passion for pets ensures they receive the attention, love, and exercise they deserve! I have a flexible schedule that gives me plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I'm looking to spend my time doing something I genuinely enjoy, and caring for pets is a great fit. Whether it's walks, drop-in visits, or pet sitting, I can easily work them into my daily routine and make sure each pet gets the attention, exercise, and care they need. I treat every pet like they're my own! I make sure they have fresh water, regular meals, plenty of exercise, and lots of attention. I always follow the owner's instructions, whether that's sticking to a feeding schedule, giving medication, or keeping up with their normal routine. I keep the environment clean and safe, watch for anything that seems off, and send regular updates with photos so you know your pet is happy and well cared for. My goal is to help them feel comfortable, relaxed, and loved while you're away.
About: Hello! My name is Lauren and I am so excited to have the opportunity to watch your favorite companion! I have been taking care of my dog and other's as well for about 16 years. Their safety and happiness is my number one priority. I will give your animal all the attention and care they deserve while their owners are away! As a former Zookeeper and current Veterinary Assistant, I know the hard work and dedication it takes to take care of animals of all sizes and shapes. I currently have three French Bulldogs that get along with any dog and are always down for a puppy play date. If you are looking for dog boarding in my home your pet must be pet friendly because of this, up to date on vaccines, and a meet and greet will be required before hand. If you are only looking for drop in visits or dog walking they will stay home and a meet and greet will not be required. If you have any questions at all please do not hesitate to contact me. I hope I can meet your favorite family member soon! I currently work as a vet assistant at a speciality and emergency practice in Birmingham. I work overnights on the weekends so I’m completely free during the week. If your pet is staying during the weekend my partner is free while I’m not home to take care of our furry guests! I can do whatever is needed to make your dog feel safe! We can walk them on a leash, use a fenced in backyard, crate them when we leave, etc.
About: Hi! My name is Adrian, and I've been around dogs and cats for most of my life. I grew up helping care for large dogs and have always been the person my family relies on to feed, play with, and look after our pets. I especially love large breeds and enjoy spending time outdoors, playing, and making sure dogs get the attention and exercise they need. Every pet has their own personality, and I take the time to earn their trust so they feel comfortable and safe while you're away. I'll treat your pets with the same care and respect I'd want someone to show mine. I'm currently very flexible and have plenty of availability throughout the week for house sitting, drop-in visits, and walks. Because my schedule is open, I can dedicate plenty of attention to your pets instead of rushing between commitments. I communicate regularly, send photo updates, and always make sure owners know their pets are happy and well cared for. For everyone's safety and comfort, I currently only offer care in my client's home. My family dog is not comfortable around unfamiliar animals, so I don't provide boarding in my own home. When caring for pets in your home, I carefully follow your routines, make sure fresh water is always available, maintain feeding and bathroom schedules, provide plenty of attention and exercise, and send regular photo updates so you can relax while you're away. I also treat every home with the same respect and care that I would expect for my own. My goal is for you to come home to a happy pet and a clean home

FAQs for House Sitting - Chulavista
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 478 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Chulavista. 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 Chulavista 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 Chulavista 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 Chulavista 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.
