“Tyler was amazing with my dogs! She house sat for my 2 large dogs (one of them being reactive) for a whole week! She followed all the instructions that we gave her. We had specific instructions to keep our dogs seperate from each other because we had never left them before and were worried about how my reactive dog would act towards our other dog while we were away. We are so grateful for her!”
About: I have grown up with pets my entire life. I am excellent at taking care of dogs and cats and will treat your pet as if it were my own. I am willing to stay in your home if needed, but if you are only needing walks I already walk every day and night so the company would be wonderful. If your animal has special needs to be taken care of I will not hesitate to tend to them as you wish. I will always follow your instructions and will always check in with you as much as you need me to. I know you cherish your pet and I will always cherish your pet as much as you do. I am currently working a full-time job, however it is only 12 minutes away from Azusa, CA and I can come home on my lunch break to take care of your pet. I will make sure with the walks that your dog is safe by walking on the opposite side of the street if a dog is coming close. If your dog has a medical issue I will make sure that walks are shorter if you wish.
“Jordan was amazing! My senior citizen has a history of bad anxiety especially around the Fourth of July with the fireworks but Jordan kept me reassured that my boy was doing great and that made me at peace while I was away, which is all I can ever ask for while I’m away. She sent pictures and updates and I would definitely reuse her again.”
“Joseph did an amazing job taking care of my girls! He was punctual, respectful of my home, and kept me updated throughout the entire stay. I truly appreciated his communication and care. I would absolutely book with him again without hesitation!”
“What a great experience. Yasmin did such a great job. We immediately felt comfortable and couple tell she was exceptional with dogs. We would highly recommend her and 100% will utilize her services again.”
“Stacey was a caring and conscientious sitter for our dog, Gus. She met him ahead of time, wanted to make sure she could care for him in the same way we do, and left a calm happy dog with us after her time with him. We will definitely ask her to sit again!”

“Hayley was amazing! So communicative and thorough in the details, and even had some helpful insight for some health stuff with our dog that we weren’t aware of! We’re very much looking forward to having her watch Willow again. ?”
“Monica was great. She was not only attentive to our pup’s needs, but Monica genuinely enjoyed her time with her. She sent pictures or texts to me daily which put my mind at ease. And on top of that, she left my house in tip top shape, sparkling clean! I would highly recommend Monica as a sitter for your pet.”
“Olivia was fantastic! Helped me out on short notice and I couldn’t have asked for a better animal watcher. She kept me up to date with pictures of my pets and was very attentive. Also left my apartment very clean. I couldn’t recommend her more!”
About: I previously worked for one year at a professional cattery, where I cared for cats of different ages, personalities, and special needs. I truly love animals—I currently have two cats and a chinchilla—so pet care has always been a natural part of my life. I’m familiar with basic pet health, behavior, and stress signals, and I always pay close attention to each pet’s comfort and safety. Whether it’s feeding, cleaning, playing, or comforting shy or sensitive pets, I approach every animal with patience, gentleness, and genuine care. I work on Sundays and Mondays, but I have flexible availability on the rest of the week. I’m fully available for visits and cat sitting from Tuesday to Saturday, and I can often adjust my schedule to fit your pet’s routine. I always prioritize safety and a calm environment. My home is clean, pet-friendly, and well-organized to ensure your pet stays comfortable. I’m experienced in handling different temperaments, and I always introduce new pets slowly and respectfully. With my knowledge of basic pet care and behavior, I make sure each animal feels safe, understood, and relaxed throughout their stay.
“Tamar was fantastic with my four-year-old husky. She has a husky herself so she understood the nuances.She was very attentive and stayed for long periods of time. She sent a lot of pictures and updates. The communication is superb and follow up was really appreciated. Tamar was very respectful of my house, I definitely recommend using Tamar for housesitting.”
“I am incredibly grateful to have found Tammy as my dog sitter. I have two Shiba Inus, one very naughty and one very shy, and Tammy has been exceptional in taking care of them. She provided daily updates with pictures and videos, keeping me informed about their eating and sleeping habits. Tammy took them out for walks, played fetch with them, and made sure they felt loved and comfortable. Despite my dogs not being leash-free and having poor recall, I never had to worry about them running away under Tammy’s care. She managed them wonderfully, and they LOVE her. I highly recommend Tammy for anyone in need of a reliable and caring dog sitter.”
“Mina was happy and healthy when I came home. Viky always gives me peace of mind through clear communication, sending pictures and texts. The house was also quite fine. 10/10. Will absolutely book again.”
About: I have experience with dogs of all sizes, from small pups to big dogs! I understand that every dog has their own unique personality and needs. I’m comfortable keeping up with energetic dogs who love to play and explore, as well as being patient with more anxious or shy dogs who need a little extra time to warm up to someone new. I believe in making every dog feel safe, comfortable, and loved while respecting their individual needs and personalities. I am in college so I do my best to keep my schedule flexible so I can make time for your furry friends! I’m happy to coordinate walk times that work best for you and your pet’s routine. I understand how important consistency is for animals, so I’ll do my best to make sure your pets get the attention, exercise, and care they need. My goal is to make sure your furry friends have an amazing time staying active and getting lots of love and attention. i have a dog of my own named Calvin, so i understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pets like family. your pet's happiness, comfort, and safety are my top priorities. I’ll also keep you updated with regular check-ins and plenty of pictures, so you can feel at ease knowing your furry friend is in good hands!
“Jubilee and I were very happy with Isabella! She took great care of her. Food, meds, walks and backyard play. There were end of the day pictures and updates on what their day consisted of. My home was also well take care of; clean and just the way I left it when I returned. Thank you Isabella! I’ll definitely request you again!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole and have house sat for friends, neighbors, and family. They trust me to walk, feed, and care for their pets with love and reliability! I just moved to a new town and actively looking for a new job. I love animals and feel this would be a great fit for me in the meantime! I would prioritize your dog’s safety on every walk-always using secure leashes, staying in pet-friendly areas, and keeping full attention on your dogs needs!

Christin stayed at my house while watching my two dogs for a weekend. She was communicative, thoughtful, and left everything in perfect shape. She also sent pictures and updates throughout the stay. She was great, my pups loved her, and it gave me peace of mind to have her stay with them. Will definitely use her again for future trips!
Vanessa was absolutely fantastic! She is highly professional, reliable, and went above and beyond to make sure my dog was well taken care of. I had complete peace of mind throughout my entire trip. When my flight was delayed, she even offered to stay longer than originally booked, which I truly appreciated. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would highly recommend her!
Nancy was amazing and extremely responsive. She was able to come for a last-minute meet and greet and was able to watch my pup Francisco within a few days notice. I would definitely have her watch him again as she is trustworthy, kind, and generally a positive and helpful person!
Viviana did a great job at taking care of our three pets (1x dog, 2x cats). We scheduled Viviana for overnight weekend support and she was very communicative throughout the entire process. We appreciate that Viviana scheduled a meet and greet prior to the actual weekend support to take in the instructions for our pets. Viviana was also understanding with us on all of our instructions and small roadblocks we had including troubleshooting our electronic feeders while we were away. Viviana sent lots of pictures of our pets while we were away to help us feel comfortable. We will definitely reach out to Viviana again if we need any kind of pet support. Thank you, Viviana!
Joyce is amazing! My babies warmed up to her immediately 🤗. I’m very picky about who I trust with my dogs, but I felt completely comfortable with Joyce from the start. She sent me pictures throughout her time with them, which I absolutely loved as a crazy dog mom! I highly recommend Joyce.
Tayanna was amazing! She made my kitty feel so comfortable and loved on while I was out of town and gave me updates throughout the entire time. I’m very protective and particular with who watches my girl, and I know I absolutely made the right choice with Tayanna.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Citrus is $43 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $78 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.

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 Citrus 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 Citrus 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 Citrus 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.

- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 96% 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.
