“Gerardo was great with accepting to puppy sit at short notice. He kept me updated on how they were and contacting me with questions when needed. I’ll be hiring Gerardo again.”
“Kayla, she is amazing! Our three dogs were very comfortable with Kayla and they are at ease with her. She is very patient with our one dog who is very nervous and made her feel very comfortable. I highly recommend Kayla!!!!”
“Clara was absolutely amazing! Our very shy dog warmed up to her much more quickly than he has other new folks. Our house was cleaner when we returned than it was when we left! Clara communicated with us a few times per day and sent photos. She even brought her own treats for our babies. Will 100% use her again!”
“Bob is the absolute best. He takes amazing care of my little blind Lily. She LOVES him. Goes straight to him when he arrives. I’m totally neurotic about my little girl but I have no worries when she’s with him.”
“Katherine is first rate. She goes beyond our expectations to take care of our dog and cat. We could not ask for more. She is professional and more responsible than myself. Thank you Katherine!!!”
“Averi sat at our home with BooBoo for 4 full days. She did a great job with communication from beginning to end. I would consider using Averi again when the need arises. She left flowers and photographs of her adventures with my Boo”
“Mary, was fantastic. I got daily updates with photos. Ms Cleo, Sami and Fiona were very well cared for and that makes going on vacation a little sweeter knowing that they were in great hands with Mary. I highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs, she was able to make sure Ms Cleo took her twice daily meds.”
About: I have had dogs my whole life, large, extra large and mini dogs. Love them all. I work especially good with high energy dogs that love walks. I currently work at a doggie daycare. But I am home more than half of the day to focus on your dogs needs. Free for entire weekend to focus entirely on the dogs. Large Fenced yard with trees and shade. Water hose and doggie pool for dogs who enjoy water when staying at my place. Highly experienced in dog body language and behavior.
About: My neighbors and friends of ten+ years have counted on me, and still do, to care for their animals. Over my lifetime, I've cared for reptiles, cats, squirrels and dogs since childhood. I prefer animals over people. They get me. And, I understand them very well. Usually daily activities will include at least one trip to either a dog park where we will spend no less than one hour at play or greeting other dogs or we will visit the Sahuarita Lake Park for no less than a one mile walk around the lake. I also will administer medicine, injections and bandage wounds if necessary. I am used to caring for ailing and senior animals. I provide tender and loving care. I also take time to do daily rooming (combing and brushing) and washing soiled linen and towels. I am good at leaving your home clean or cleaner than when I arrived. I do not have formal training to perform cpr.. I am a home body spending time writing short stories and the next best American novel or meditating. My space is my sanctuary. And, if your pet feels safer in their own environment, I will care for your pet in the environment in which they are accustomed while I protect and respect your privacy. Due to strict HOA anti business rules, I cannot conduct a pet care business out of my home. Otherwise, I would love to care for animals in my home.
“Laura H. helped take care of Tito for 3 days, and we are very happy with her service. Tito was very happy when we returned home, which gave us great peace of mind. Laura was reliable, caring, and took excellent care of him. We highly recommend her and would gladly use her services again.”
“Amber did a wonderful job taking care of my wonderful dog Wes and my temperamental cat muffin. I felt they were safe and in good hands with Amber. She took Wes to the park. They had quite a few outings, she really loves animals.”
“Jackie was on time and was a very nice lady. She was very thoughtful of Annie and my surgery she even offered to go to the store for me. She sent pics to me of Annie. I would definitely recommend Jackie to anyone. 😊”
“This is our second time Annette has watched our babies! The first was drop in visits and this time she did house sitting for our 3 cats and dog. She was great! She took our dog on her daily walks and gave lots of cuddles to our cats. Our home looked better than when we left. I would 100% have Annette watch out babies again!”

Clara was absolutely amazing! Our very shy dog warmed up to her much more quickly than he has other new folks. Our house was cleaner when we returned than it was when we left! Clara communicated with us a few times per day and sent photos. She even brought her own treats for our babies. Will 100% use her again!
Katherine was fantastic with our three needy, overly affectionate and quirky golden retrievers. We missed our dogs terribly but with the photos and videos she sent we could clearly tell they were getting all the love and attention they thrive upon. It was overwhelmingly evident upon our return home by how relaxed and content they were. We’re so happy we found Katherine!
This was my 13 year old Jack Russell Terrier's first time staying with a sitter for 4 nights. Kristen had a calming presence when she met Bella . Bella was immediately comfortable and friendly with her. Bella has some special needs that Kristen felt very comfortable handling, so all went well while I was away. I will definitely book with Kristen again when I have to be away from home, knowing my dog will be in good hands and well-cared for while Im gone.

FAQs for House Sitting - Continental
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Continental on Rover is $76.25 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 959 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Continental. 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 Continental 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 Continental 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 Continental 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.

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.
