“Claire was absolutely wonderful in taking care of our 11month old golden retriever puppy at our home. She was attentive to her needs, took her on walks, gave us updates throughout the day, and made sure she was cared for in the best way possible. She was available to watch her last minute and even stayed later at our home when some unexpected things came up for my wife at work. We are very appreciative of the care Claire provides to our puppy! Highly recommend!”
“Peyten did a terrific job! Most importantly she took great care of my pup. She spent hours playing and walking her each day. She took great care of my home and gave constant updates. I would definitely hire her again!”
“Megan sent us plenty of updates and pictures, and Murphy seemed so happy with her! Very responsive and left the house in perfect condition. We will definitely be rebooking!”
“I’ve never been away from my babies in four years. So my first vacation away from them was incredibly scary for me. But oh my days I’m incredibly thankful I stumbled across Valeriya. I know my boys can be overwhelming with how high energy they are but she reassured me they were so well behaved while I was gone. She sent me very frequent updates to ease my mind that they were in good hands. I left detailed instructions, and she followed every single one. I’m so excited to be able to travel and know my babies will be in good hands, I’m definitely going to be a frequent client. I can’t express my thanks enough!”
“We really appreciate all the care that Lisbeth gave our boy during our absence. She was great in communication and sent us tons of photos and videos. If you need responsive and trustworthy care for your fur babies , you can trust Lisbeth 1000%. Thank you so much for taking such good care of Ponchik.”
“Elle did a fantastic job taking care of our dog. Koa is older and needs a little extra care and attention. It was obvious from the start that Elle made a connection with Koa. She sent lots of updates and pictures to show us how well Koa was doing. This is the first time we’ve left Koa with someone not in the family and it couldn’t have gone any better. We definitely recommend Elle.”
“Christine was great with my giant dog Ham who is over 100lbs. She took him on several walks a day and he was a happy boy when I got home. I could tell he misses her. I will definitely use Christine for future pet sitting. She also left my house in great shape.”
“Very nice and super accommodating! It was my first time leaving my two working dogs to be watched by someone and she did an amazing job! She was super flexible and was great with the dogs. She sent me photos and updates after every visit/walk. I will definitely look for her to watch my dogs again!”
“Mallory was great with Charlie and communicated frequently! We had delays getting home and she stayed longer than anticipated! So grateful that Charlie was in wonderful care.”
“I highly recommend Laura and would book her again! She watched our dog and house. She was very communicate, arrived on time, and followed our dog’s schedule. Super professional, nice, and trustworthy. Our dog is kind of anxious and she managed that very well. She also left our house spotless! Thank you!”
About: I grew up around horses and learned to respect all living creatures large and small. We always had pets at home and they gravitated towards me because I like to play and have fun with them. I had a cat for 16 years in my youth and loved her so much. Kitties will always have a special place in my heart. I have had many pets over the years and my most recent were two rescue shepherd/husky mix wonderful family members. They were brother and sister and both passed away. I do not currently have any pets of my own right now. Pet sitting is the joy of my life, and I cannot imagine a day without walking, playing and cuddling with furry friends. I am home all day and available to spend quality time with your fur babies! I am extremely flexible and am here for all of your pet’s needs. I like as much information about the pet as you'd like to give me. Whatever your pet needs, I will provide for them. I have lots of experience with anxious dogs and senior dogs and cats. I welcome any information you can provide to help your pet feel comfortable. I will only feed your pet what you provide. I will follow all of your instructions verbatim.
“Taryn was a great sitter, who was neat and considerate and who left a very content dog when she left our house. Our return plans were uncertain due to weather in CO but Taryn was more than willing to adjust her schedule to accommadate ours and Buddy's needs. Would definitely call on her again.”
“This was my first time leaving my dog with anyone who wasn’t family while I was on vacations so I was a bit nervous. However, Arlene was amazing!!! My dog loved her the minute she met her. She sent me daily pics and updates on how she was doing and the things they were up to. Knowing my baby was being so well taken care of allowed me to relax and enjoy my vacation. I came home to a happy pup and a clean house (not expected at all but very nice after an exhausting travel day). I would highly recommend her and hope she is available for our future pup sitting needs :)”
About: Dogs are truly a humans best friend.🥰We enjoy taking them for walks, (helps keep us in shape😁) playtime and just bonding with them. When we needed sitters for our pup years ago, we appreciated our sitter checking in with us. We feel communicating with our neighbors, gives us all peace of mind. So if it’s ok with you, we will send a picture, or video to assure you that your pup is safe and sound. We have more time now, to enjoy God’s creation and do things that bring us real joy. We absolutely love and appreciate the gift of life and enjoy caring for and bonding with all types of animals. Whether at the park, or at the beach, dogs tend to gravitate towards my husband and I. (They obviously feel our ‘love for dogs’ vibe.🥰) We have 4 grand pets we love dearly and look forward to their visits, but when they go home, we love on everyone else’s pets, lol. We decided to start pet sitting again part time, to help fill that void.🫠 We prefer sitting at your home, so your pet feels comfortable and less stressed while you’re away, but we also don’t mind entertaining them at our home for the day. If so, it would be helpful if they’re crate-trained, in case we have to step away for a little while. It is of upmost importance to us, to see that your pet is safe and happy under our care. We love to spoil and treat them as if they were our own, so beware, they tend to not want us to leave.🥰

“This time around my poor pup got stitches the day before Laura was watching him. She took extra good care of him, making sure he got his medicine, was eating, and checked that the inflammation was decreasing. She also made sure my other dog got plenty of love, and kept me updated. I would definitely recommend Laura!”
“Shelly gets an A+ for her week-long stay with our dogs and house in Carmel Valley. She communicated daily. Provided good feedback on our dogs. And generally exceeded our expectations. We will definitely be booking her again.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Del Monte Forest
We are beyond happy with Megan. This was our first time leaving our dog at home. We were so worried about how he would be. Seems like he had the time of his life. In fact, we think he even misses her. She sent pictures everyday. Meant so much to us to see him happy. Also, the house was immaculate when we got home. We will DEFINITELY use her again and highly recommend her
Claire was conscientious, caring and observant while caring for my two dogs in my home. She kept to the routines that I had suggested for my dogs. She sent pictures every day and I could tell that my dogs were happy and relaxed. I have an older dog that is a bit reactive and a puppy that is growing fast and in his 'teenager' phase. They are both a flight risk at the front door. She kept them entertained and exercised in our back yard as per my request. I felt very confident that they were well taken care of. She was prompt and my home was clean and organized when I returned. I cleaned before I left, but it seemed even better organized upon my return!! She was very observant noticing some little health issues with one of them. I will definitely be a repeat customer!!
Mari was wonderful. She house sat for one dog recovering from surgery and three cats. I received pictures and an update everyday. The fur babies were happy and taken care of. The house was in tip top shape when we got back. I highly recommend Mari for all your pet needs.
Mallory was great. She was very responsive while we were making plans and worked hard to ensure no miscommunication and that we were aligned on the arrangements. we asked her to sit with our german shepherd in our hotel room while we went out for the afternoon and it worked really well. i would not hesitate to use Mallory again if we are ever back in the area abd need a sitted
Natalie was terrific in the care she gave our little Maltese Molly. Molly is a senior dog ( going on 14 ), she has a tumor on her bladder and has to pee very often. She also is very anxiety when she is away from us. Although she is taking pain meds and anxiety meds, she whines when we are out of sight. Natalie took charge by comforting her and distracting her with toys and treats. We were comfort with leaving Molly with Natalie to go to a friends house for a Thanksgiving meal. We would definitely feel very comfortable leaving her with Natalie.
Minko did an outstanding job in caring for our young boxer pup, Caesar. He approached the sit in a professional manner ready to immediately walk and explore area while Caesar got used to him. He adhered to instructions and suggestions we suggested and even stayed an extra hour when we found out we would be delayed. Minko did an excellent in care of Caesar and I would not hesitate to use him again.

FAQs for House Sitting - Del Monte Forest
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Del Monte Forest on Rover is $76.59 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 899 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Del Monte Forest. 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 Del Monte Forest 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 Del Monte Forest 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 Del Monte Forest 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.
