“Nicque was so great with my cat Phoenix! He immediately loved her when she came for the meet and greet. He jumped up and sat right on her lap, which he doesn’t even do for my friends that are around quite often! He was definitely relaxed when we got home and it made me feel so relaxed being away knowing that Nicque was there giving him love and taking care of him! I highly recommend Nicque and will definitely contact her in the future if we ever need a sitter for Phoenix!!”
“Julianna was fantastic. She was great with both my dogs and cats, getting to know each of them and their unique personalities to ensure they were all taken care of in the best way. Julianne also took great care of our home and really pulled through when our well system broke by communicating with us and being available for the repair man to come to the house. We also had visits from the local bear and Julianne was great at cleaning up the mess he made and keeping the pets safe. We will definitely be using her again.”
“Lorena was absolutely wonderful with our special needs dog, Yuri. From the start, she was kind, attentive, and followed all of his care instructions perfectly—including his strict medication schedule and extra potty encouragement. She even stayed longer at the last minute when we needed extra help, which we were so grateful for. Yuri can be very shy and particular, but he clearly felt safe with Lorena—and that says everything. We would absolutely trust her with his care again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible, compassionate pet sitter! 💛🐾”
“Bryce did a great job w/ our 2 boxers. They're crazy, needy and a little too much for some people, but they didn't seem to bother him at all. We really appreciate Bryce staying at our house since our dogs can have seperation anxiety and tear things up. We also received photos daily which helped our anxiety as well. We will be using Bryce in the future! Thank you!”
“As first time Rover users, we were really nervous, but working with Lucia made all our worries go away! Our pups and kitties LOVED her! She had amazing communication, made sure all the animals were loved on and cared for, sent so many pictures, was extremely timely, and even tidied the toys up 😭 We will definitely be using her again and will recommend her to anyone!❤️ Her passion and love for animals truly shows.”
“Ember was an amazing sitter! She was prompt, and even a little bit early on arrival. That meant a lot to me, because promptness is important to me. She was very attentive to the dogs and enjoyed being with them. She sent us pictures every day and updated us in the evening if we hadn’t communicated during the day. She followed all of the guidelines that I had set out, and even went over and beyond. The house was perfectly spotless when we got home and the pups were happy. We will definitely be having Ember back again. I would highly recommend anyone else hiring her for a sit.”
About: Animals have been part of my life since I was an early adult, and caring and connecting with them comes naturally. As a wellness coach, husband and father of two, I’m big on structure, patience, and creating a calm, safe inviting environment for every dog I work with. I’m active outdoors, hiking, walking trails, and exploring around in the neighborhood, so your dog will get plenty of movement and attention. I will always adapt movement and attention needs to your liking. I’ve handled everything from high-energy pups to gentle senior dogs, and I’m confident with feeding routines, medication reminders, crate-training basics, and helping anxious dogs feel secure. I treat every pet like my own and keep owners updated with photos, check-ins, and clear communication so you always know your dog is in good hands. Whether your dog needs long walks, overnight care, or a dependable companion while you’re away, I bring consistency, kindness, and professional-level responsibility to every stay. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I work from home and set my own schedule. I’m already outdoors often, walking, working on the yard, biking, or taking my own dog out around the neighborhood or on the trails, so adding your pup into my day is a seamless fit. I’m available for boarding service either at my home or yours for 2-4 days during the week and weekend boarding requests as well. Your dog will always get consistent attention, movement, and care, never rushed or squeezed into a busy schedule. I provide a calm, structured environment that helps dogs feel comfortable the moment they arrive. My home in Fair Oaks has a large, fenced yard with plenty of safe space to explore. Outdoor time is always supervised, gates stay secured, and I keep clear routines for feeding, play, and rest so dogs settle in smoothly. We have two friendly dogs of our own, a Papillon and a Min Pin/Jack Russell mix, who enjoy having new companions around. They’re social, well-behaved, and help create an easygoing atmosphere for visiting pups. If a dog prefers their own space, I can separate areas to make sure everyone feels relaxed. For boarding in my home, I do require that dogs are potty trained. If you’re still working on potty training, I’m more than happy to support that process in your home. I’m also comfortable with crate routines, senior care, medication reminders, and maintaining whatever structure your dog is used to. As a father and longtime pet owner, safety and communication are top priorities, I send photo updates and check-ins so you always feel connected while you’re away.
“I recently had the pleasure of hiring Samantha to look after my senior buddy, Buster, a cantankerous old soul who generally isn't fond of strangers. To say that I was pleasantly surprised by the exceptional care provided by Samantha would be an understatement. What truly set Samantha apart was her patience and attentiveness. Recognizing the quirks of my aging Buster, she took the time to learn his habits, preferences, and, most importantly, his boundaries. Rather than forcing interaction, she let Buster set the pace, gradually earning his trust with each passing day. She kept me up to date with pictures and communication, she also took exceptional care of our home.”
“Sherilyn cared for my cats and my house for 4 days while I was away. It was a pleasure to hand my loved ones over to her as she is kind, knowledgeable about cats and kept in touch with me during those 4 days. I couldn't have felt more secure with her sitting my home. She is honest, thoughtful about my privacy, my home as my sanctuary and when I came home the house that was as I left it, clean and not a thing out of place. I wouldn't hesitate, not even for a second, to have her back in the future.”
“Rima was amazing! She took really great care of our fur baby and our house. We never really leave our dog alone or with anyone else that’s why I was a little worried how she’s going to be. Also, our dog sometimes gets anxious around new people, but Rima was super sweet and our fur baby bonded with her really quick, which gave me a piece of mind for leaving her in a caring hands.”
About: I have had experience in dog sitting and walking puppies! I have always wanted a dog but just do not have the room for it at home so pet sitting for friends has always been something I have loved doing! Currently, I am working part-time and I am a college student. However, my shifts are never longer than 4 hours. My services are available all week! I make sure to care for pets with as much love as I can! Seeing a stranger come into your home can be daunting so I try to be as graceful as possible when meeting and interacting with the clients pets!
About: I have been around dogs for as long as I can remember! My family has had many pets through the years, family dogs that we’ve cared for into old age, and dogs we have helped rehome! I have experience with many different breeds, including jack russell terriers, pitbulls, border collies, and many more. I love all animals and being around a new pet is so exciting for me. I promise to give your pet special attention and make sure they are happy and comfortable. I am currently in a dental assisting program, so I will be unavailable mondays and tuesdays. Any other day I will have full availability for your pet! I will make sure your pet gets lots of potty breaks if needed, or make sure their enclosure/litter box is fresh and clean! I’m very punctual when it comes to feeding and kind of OCD about having clean water available. I always want your pet to feel comfortable and safe.
“We are so happy with Katelan and Brock. Kate came to our house and took great care of our dogs and cat. She kept us updated on how they were doing and was offering to do more house care! She was able to add on a day extra very last minute and was very accommodating to our requests. We felt comfortable with her staying in our home! She did a great job and we will be sure to book her again!”

“Secret did a great job taking care of our two dogs. She gave us regular updates and sent photos which was greatly appreciated and even kept our plants watered during the high temps over the weekend. She was very professional and we would recommend for anyone looking for overnight or daily pet care.”
“Jillian was wonderful! I always hate leaving my pup, but she sent lots of photos and kept us updated on how he was doing. She played and ran around with him. She also was very clean and the house looked great when we returned. I’ll definitely be having Jillian again in the future!”
“I entrusted my two pets Lia and Riley to Piper and she simply gave them great care. I have never left them alone this long before and they were not stressed out at all. Piper sent me picks and videos of them while I was on vacation. This was fantastic to see them all getting along. My plane arrived late and I miss my connection. I asked if she could stay a little long and she did. This was a great help. She also cleaned and vacumed the house before she left. Piper is someone you can trust be somfrotable that she will take good care of pets and take of your house as well. From my heart, thank you so much Piper.”
“Faith was just what I was looking for. She was an excellent communicator, so I know what was happening with my dog and that someone was taking care of her. Faith left music on for my dog, she played with her and walked her. Faith is a good problem solver and handled issues in a professional manner. Faith was very responsible and I felt really good about leaving my dog with her. She took the job seriously and gave such good care to Charlie. My dog seemed happy and content when I got home! highly recommend Faith to care for your home and your pets.”

The average cost of House Sitting in Clipper Gap is $83 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $134 per night.

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 Clipper Gap 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 Clipper Gap 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 Clipper Gap 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Clipper Gap. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
