“Second time booking Trina, and once again she was absolutely wonderful with my fur-babies! This time I also had a family member’s dog staying with me, and after giving Trina the profile and instructions, she handled the added responsibility flawlessly. The house was in perfect order when I returned, and all the pups were clearly happy and well cared for. One of my dogs had developed a tummy issue the week before my trip, which had me a bit anxious. I let Trina know the situation, and she had no problem adjusting her care as instructed by the vet. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing she’d update me if anything changed. While I was away, I ended up having the opportunity to stay an extra night. Trina happened to be available and kindly accommodated the last-minute request. Trina is reliable, communicative, and genuinely caring. I’ll continue booking her any time I can—highly recommend!”
“Peyton was a wonderful house/dog sitter. She is very professional, knowledgeable, and kept me informed daily of what was going on, as well as sending pictures and videos of my dog. She left the house pristine, emptied the trash, washed the sheets and towels, collected my mail, etc. I was very relaxed on my trip knowing that she was handling things well at home. I couldn’t be more pleased, and I would not hesitate to hire her again.”
“Erin did an excellent job of taking care of my dog and my house. She provided excellent communication before and during the stay. I returned to find a happy dog and my house was tidy as could be.”
“Machalah did a wonderful job caring for our two dogs (one who is a senior) & cat while we were out of town. She regularly sent picture updates; my fur babies obviously received lots of TLC. Machalah also left the house very neat. Will definitely use Machalah’s services again.”

“Sydney was great. She took care of our two pups for eight days. One of which is sweet but reactive to dogs she does not know. We asked her to stay an extra day so we could spend one more night at the beach and she reorganized her schedule....she if very nice to work with.”
“Caitlin did an excellent job. She stayed at my house and cared for my 2 cats and my needy dog for a whole week. I know she spent a lot of time with them because they were barely excited I was back. She also took excellent care of my home and plants. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve had dogs since i was a baby, always been one of my favorite things. I’ve been told i’m an animal whisperer and have a special connection with pets i don’t even know! I’m currently a part time worker, i’d have plenty of time to take care of and watch your animals. l don’t spend much time away from home max would be 4-5hrs on certain days.

To me, pets aren’t just animals, they’re family, and that’s exactly how they’ll be treated in my care. ❤️ One of the best things about my home is my large, fully fenced backyard, where dogs have plenty of space to run, play, explore, and enjoy the fresh air in a safe environment! Whether your pet loves playing outside, going for walks, cuddling on the couch, or simply having someone nearby, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and loved. I understand how stressful it can be to leave your furry family member with someone new, which is why I’ll treat your pet with the same patience, affection, and attention I’d want for my own. I’m also happy to send regular pictures and updates so you can relax knowing your pet is having a wonderful time. My goal is simple: for your pet to feel so loved and comfortable that staying with me feels just like being home! I’m currently studying online, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your furry family members! I’m available on both weekdays and weekends, and because I spend much of my time at home, your pet will have lots of company, attention, and love throughout the day. Whether it’s playtime in the backyard, regular potty breaks, walks, feeding, or just relaxing together on the couch, I can easily make your pet’s routine part of my day. I genuinely enjoy having animals around, so caring for your pet never feels like work to me! Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort will always be my top priorities!

“I can’t recommend Valerie enough! She watched my dog, for 3 days and did an amazing job. Hope can be a little particular with her routine and has some hip issues, but Valerie was so caring and attentive — she followed all my instructions perfectly and made sure Hope was comfortable, happy, and well-loved the whole time. Valerie kept me updated with photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear Hope felt safe and cared for, and I really appreciate how responsible and thoughtful Valerie was with every detail, from playtime to feeding to making sure Hope didn’t overdo it on the stairs. I wouldn’t hesitate to book Valerie again — she’s trustworthy, kind, and truly treats your pet like her own. Thank you so much, Valerie, for taking such wonderful care of Hope!”
“Such a sweet person and accommodated a last minute request to sit with my pup during the scary fireworks on july 4th! Mouse liked her right away and is a great judge of character. Mouse seemed happy and calm when I got home so would definitely book with her in the future.”
“Eleni was great with our two dogs for the day/night. One of our dogs is a little skittish but they both warmed up to her immediately. It was great to have a night away without having to worry about our babies. We would absolutely have Eleni watch our pups again!”

Whitney was absolutely wonderful with Bailey! ❤️🐾 She took great care of her and treated her like her own. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Bailey was happy, safe, and well cared for while we were away. Whitney was caring, dependable, and kept us updated, which we really appreciated. We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter and would definitely recommend Whitney to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their fur baby! 🐶❤️
Kayla is wonderful! She watched our two young dogs for a few days and made sure they were well cared for and loved while we were away. She sent us updates with pictures of the pups while we were away which we loved. We came home to happy pups and a clean home. We would definitely recommend Kayla and look forward to having her watch our dogs again.
Sydney was great. She took care of our two pups for eight days. One of which is sweet but reactive to dogs she does not know. We asked her to stay an extra day so we could spend one more night at the beach and she reorganized her schedule....she if very nice to work with.
Megan was wonderful! This was her first time staying at our home with our two high-energy little dogs for five nights. She communicated consistently, sent daily photo updates, and took great care of our pups so that we were able to truly relax while we were away. She also treated our home with the utmost respect. We came back to a clean, well-cared-for house, and she even picked the ripe blackberries from our bush and put them in the fridge so they wouldn't go bad. As an added surprise, she left us some housewarming gifts, which was incredibly kind and thoughtful. We would book her again and recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and attentive pet sitter!
Gabrielle was absolutely fantastic as our dog sitter and house sitter for 4 nights. From the very beginning, she was incredibly easy to communicate with and responded instantly , which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She took wonderful care of our dog and our home, and it was clear that she genuinely cared and paid attention to every detail. We came home to a happy, well cared for pup, and everything in perfect shape. We are so thankful for Gabrielle’s help and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and caring sitter. We would absolutely book with her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 438 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Cloverdale. 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 Cloverdale 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 Cloverdale 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 Cloverdale 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
