“We could not have been happier with the help Courtney provided with our pups. She took great care of them, and they have never been away from all of us overnight. They were well taken care of, and Courtney even provided notes on work we can continue to do with our puppy. We will be bringing Courtney back again. Our dogs love her, and she is amazing at what she does.”

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and grew up caring for both dogs and cats. I’ve also had my own cat for 12 years, so I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust to care for your pets while you’re away. Over the years, I’ve also helped friends care for their dogs and puppies, including feeding, walks, playtime, and giving them plenty of attention and affection. I’m responsible, reliable, and attentive to each pet’s individual personality and needs. I know how stressful it can be to leave your pets in someone else’s care, so I’ll treat them with the same patience, love, and care that I give my own. 🐾 I’m available for pet care in the evenings and on weekends. Weekday visits are best scheduled after 3 PM. I also have every other Friday off, which gives me additional availability for daytime visits on those Fridays. I’m happy to coordinate times that work best for you and your pet! I’ll always treat your home and pets with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I carefully follow feeding, medication, litter, walking, and household instructions and make sure doors, gates, and entry points are secure. I’m attentive to each pet’s behavior and comfort level, and I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pets are safe and well cared for while you’re away.

I understand that pets are family, and I’ll treat your furry family members with the same love, patience, and care I give my own!

I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual routine, whether that means daily walks, drop-in visits, feeding times, or overnight stays. I understand how important consistency is for pets, so I’ll do my best to keep them comfortable and stick to their normal schedule. I’ll always make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, exercise, and care! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow each pet’s usual routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and any special care they need. In a client’s home, I do my best to keep their pets comfortable in their familiar environment and stick to their normal schedule. I provide plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and patience, and I always respect the owner’s home and instructions. My goal is to give every pet the same love and care I give my own two dogs!

“We left our babies Sadie and Frankie with Erica for one week. I received updates almost every day ( our reception was spotty). My babies even slept in the same bed with her. You can almost instantly tell she has a knack this! She even waited until 10pm to bring them home to us so they wouldn't be alone until we got home since we had to drive from LAX to SD! She didn't have to do that since we have a doggy door and everything but that's how much she cared about them. We are now going to be using her for our trip in October! We highly recommend her! Thank you much Erica!”

“Michaela was great with our gentle giants. They typically are timid and bark at new people for a while after entering the home, but when she came in, they took so quickly to her and my most fearful and timid dog did not bark at her nonstop. He actually went up to her quicker than any other dog sitter previously. Michaela sent updates throughout the visit and kept me up to date. The dogs really seemed to like her which was such a blessing. Having 3 large dogs can be intimidating, but Michaela was at ease and did a wonderful job. I definitely would recommend her and will use her again in the future.”

“Brooke was absolutely wonderful!!! Leaving our 7-year-old Japanese Akita with someone new was a big decision for us, but Brooke exceeded all of our expectations. She took the time to build trust with Eoshi, and it was clear from her updates that she genuinely cared about his well-being. When we returned home, Eoshi was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. He ate well, enjoyed plenty of walks, and seemed completely comfortable with Brooke. We were especially happy to see that they developed such a great bond while we were away. Brooke also took exceptional care of our home. Everything was spotless when we returned, and she even started a load of laundry with the bed linens before leaving, which was such a thoughtful gesture. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would absolutely trust Brooke with Eoshi again in the future. Highly recommend!”

About: Growing up surrounded by a variety of animals has given me a deep understanding of their care, behavior, and needs. Over the years, I have had the privilege of caring for a diverse range of animals, including canines, equines, goats, reptiles, and arachnids. My current "fur family" includes four dogs—Emma and Levi (Border Collies), Strauss and Mazi (Belgian Malinois)—as well as two cats, Ferb (Domestic Shorthair) and Phineas (Domestic Longhair), and two horses, Chester (Quarter Horse x Belgian Cross) and Maggy (Thoroughbred). Throughout my life, I have gained hands-on experience in a variety of animal care tasks, from feeding, watering, and providing exercise, to administering medical care, cleaning, and conducting regular health checks. I have also cared for animals in various settings, including on my property and in clients' homes, ensuring their well-being and comfort while their owners are away. My availability for pet care services is highly flexible and can be tailored to meet the unique needs of both you and your pets. Whether it's daily visits or last-minute requests, I prioritize making myself available to ensure your pets receive the care and attention they deserve. Providing reliable and consistent care is my main focus, and I understand the importance of being adaptable to your schedule. Your pets' well-being is always my top priority. I take great pride in providing exceptional care for animals, treating each one as if they were my own family. Whether it’s ensuring they receive plenty of exercise, keeping their living spaces clean and comfortable, or offering lots of love and attention, I am dedicated to creating a safe and nurturing environment for all of them. This commitment to high-quality care extends to all pets I look after. When entrusted with your animals, I will approach their care with the same level of attention, compassion, and respect. I take the time to understand each pet’s individual needs and routines, ensuring they feel comfortable and secure while you're away. With me, you can rest assured knowing your pets are in loving hands.

“Alexis was amazing! I've always done check-ins and never used house-sitting, and Alexis was so helpful and responsive during the booking process, along with the meet-and-greet and planning process. She also communicated frequently during my trip, and as a bonus, she made a gorgeous drawing of my sweet pup, and left it as a surprise. My next house/pet sitter WILL be her!”

About: Hi friends! Our names are Sophie and Hayden, and we are both college students and huge animal lovers. We have a special place in our hearts for dogs, and truly know the significance of what a big blessing they can be in our lives. They add joy, comfort, laughter, and positivity when we have a bad day, and we would treat your furry friend with as much love and respect as we would treat our own. I have experience taking care of my two best friends, Pepper (17yr old Miniature Schnauzer) and his little brother Salty (10yr old Pomeranian) on a day to day basis. I feel as if my experience with my own dogs and taking them in public places, such as the dog park and dog beach, has lead me to have good instinct of whether or not a dog is comfortable within a certain place. I will do everything in my power to make sure they are as happy as they can be, and most of all feel safe. Hayden has experience has a veterinarian assistant and has been professionally trained on giving medications! We cannot wait to take care of your furry friend! I can't wait to make new memories with your furry friend! We are both working part time and have availability to take care of your furry friends whenever you may need us. One of us is usually always available! We will treat your furry friend as our own! We know how much animals mean to people, and would never do anything to put them in harm.

About: I’ve spent my whole life around pets, caring for them with love and dedication. After my own dog, Techa, passed away, I realized I still have so much love to give, even if I’m not quite ready to adopt again. That became part of my own journey with pets, and it’s why I opened my home to welcome and care for other families’ dogs. I don’t just stay home with them, I take them out, observe them closely, and tune into what they need and what makes them feel happy and safe. I have a natural intuition with dogs and pay close attention to their behavior and energy so they feel understood and comfortable. I also love sending lots of photos and videos so you can feel connected and at ease while you’re away, just like I would want for my own dog. . Be prepared for some cute photo bombing! Because I work remotely, your dog will have constant companionship, care, and lots of love throughout the day. I’m available for weekends and extended stays, and I always send daily photo and video updates for peace of mind. I have a fenced yard with a small garden, and there are no other animals in the house, so your pet will receive my full attention. I believe animals need daily outings to stay healthy and happy, so I offer at least two walks a day, either short or long depending on their needs. Playtime and affection are also essential parts of my care routine. If I care for your pet at their home, I make sure to follow their regular routine, so they feel comfortable and secure in their own environment. I also send daily photos and videos to owners so they can relax knowing their furry family member is safe, happy, and well cared for

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Dehesa

Brittany is the kind of pet sitter you hope to meet on this app. She went above and beyond from the start. I left on a 9 day trip out of state which was the longest I've ever left my pup and was a bit nervous since this was my first time using Rover for pet sitting. Brittany agreed to a meet & greet prior to booking, was down to earth, genuine, answered all my questions, and I could see how much she loved dogs when she met mine. During my trip, she was fast to respond when I reached out, sent so many photos of my fur baby and honestly went above and beyond the entire time. She asked for local park recommendations, for detailed instructions about his feeding schedule and really made sure to check all the boxes. My pup also sadly got an ear infection right before and she had no problem at all caring for that on top of everything else. I will 1000% be booking again with Brittany for all my future pet sitting needs. Highly recommend you do too!

FAQs for House Sitting - Dehesa

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 5,810 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Dehesa. 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 Dehesa 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 Dehesa 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 Dehesa 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Dehesa. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.
