“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”
“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!”

“Sara did a fantastic job watching our 11 year old Golden Retriever for a week at our home. Our dog loved Sara. Sara sent pictures every day of Lady to help my mind about our fur-baby. She was on time. I highly recommend Sara for your fur-babies care!!!”
About: Tug toys, laser pointers, oh my! I’ve got the experience and love to care for your dog or cat like they’re my own I can handle it I’m currently working full time 8 am to 4:30 pm I’m a carpenter so I can help early in the morning or after work, weekends all day!! I have a golden retriever house trained that I take on bike rides and hikes or to the beach and also 2 beautiful cats I have a schedule for them to eat and they are in healthy shape !!
“Kat was the ideal sitter for us, and we feel lucky we found her. Her calm peaceful demeanor was such a blessing for our anxious rescue, Dash. He quickly warmed up to her, which almost never happens, and she even let Dash sleep with her. She handled his medications as needed and communicated with us throughout the stay, sending many charming photos. She was so patient and responsive with my many instructions! Kat even left our home sparkly clean. We just hope she is available any time we need a sitter in the future!”
About: I’ve taken care of multiple pets at once. Some in my home and some at their home. My friends and family have relied on me to help them with their pet. I’m currently open to any sitting right now since I’m currently not working. I have a lot of time on my hands to help out. I am a stay at home mom. I do not have any pets of my own. I have a fenced back yard. Not too big but big enough for furry friends. Furry friends are welcome in my home as well and on the couch.
About: Ive been sitting Dogs and cats for about three years for family friends and neighbors and I walk bath and feed them and do anything else they ask me to do I’m pretty flexible I would work anytime you need me to I also take care of it sometimes too so if you text me and I'm available I will let you know I love dogs I can play with them give them exercise and a bath if needed I clean up after them make sure they have what they need like water food bed toys ect.
About: I really just want to make sure that your pets and house are taken care of the same way I would take care of mine if not better. Ive been a sitter of dogs, cats, plants, and axolotls so i have a pretty good idea of how to make sure your pets are happy as possible while you have to be away I’m a botanist and work regularly 7am-4pm M-F, your pets would be the last things I see before work and the first after. I have 6 sweet kitties at home that I make sure are well exercised, fed, and loved. I wish to get to know your pets and make them as comfortable and entertained as possible. All my cats get wet and dry food, we have cat trees, multiple water fountains, maybe too many toys and even a stroller to see the world in. Here in the desert pet hydration is my number one concern, especially after treats and exercise. My partner and I push for cat hydration through occasionally mixing churu in water bowls (they love it). For dogs I will never leave the house with them without water and a bowl. I grew up here in AZ and my family dog and I have ran many miles so I know when to look for the signs that your pet needs a break, water, or to turn around. LGBTQ+ family

My wife and I had the great fortune to hire Hannah to take care of 4 animals in our home. Hannah was a Pleasure to work with. She was responsive to us and took great care of 3 aging animals and a holy terror of a 3 year old. Everyone was healthy and happy. We couldn’t have been more pleased. We hope to hire Hannah in the future. She is very experienced and happy to accommodate.
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!

The average cost of House Sitting in Continental is $76 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $44 and $93 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 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 , 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.
