“Lisa was amazing with our three big rescue dogs! She was very communicative, caring and patient. All of our pups were very relaxed and content with Lisa, who clearly has a gift with animals.”
“Annika was very sweet on our first meeting.. She asked all the right questions on care and expectations for our pups while we were on vacation.. I got daily pictures, she took our dogs to their favorite park and sent more photos.. Very nice to work with!”
“Gabby was incredible! Our older dog and our skittish dog were both so happy with her. The cat didn’t even scold us when we returned like he usually does. We received regular updates and photos throughout the week and when we got home, the house was neat and tidy. We will absolutely ask Gabby back to housesit and watch our “outlaws” again. We can’t possibly recommend her enough!!”
“Cory was awesome: very communicative and consistent in updates, he let us know whenever he would need to leave the house for a little while (which was also communicated ahead of time), and kept our place clean. Very capable and confident, which is especially needed for one of our dogs who tends to be more reactive. I’m so grateful we went with him and we genuinely look forward to using his services again in the future!”
About: I worked at a dog/cat daycare and boarding facility for 3 years so I know dog/cat behavior, safely protocols and procedures well, and I am passionate about their wellbeing. I am currently working part-time so I am pretty flexible with my time and availability. I also love going on walks so having a pup with me would make it a lot more enjoyable. I will follow the instructions provided to me. I also love to give extra affection and attention when wanted and or needed. I am familiar with administering medications if needed.
About: I have taken care of cats and dogs my entire life. I grew up with both cats and dogs in my home, and currently own 3 special needs cats. I also have volunteer and work experience with animal shelters and veterinary clinics. I am a stay at home mom! From Monday - Thursday I am available from 4 am - 3 pm to take care of your pets either in my home or at yours. My weekends are always changing but I can be very flexible and am available for overnight care. In my own home I have 3 cats who are all very friendly. We currently live in a 2 bedroom apartment and my cats have their own room! So I am able to take care of your pets in the main space of my apartment all day long. My apartment also has a small fenced in dog park, and I am able to do multiple short walks per day. I am also available to come to you, and to do overnight care.
“Blown away with Azumi! From first contact to her leaving our home, everything was smooth and perfect. It was our first time using a house sitter vs. dropping the dogs off at our normal pet sitter of 3+ years. Also, I had our backup cancel on us, so Azumi came to the rescue at the last minute. My two goldens thrived. My cat, who typically takes days to warm up to someone (or not warm up to them at all), was in her lap by the first evening! She sent daily update pictures and even endured some exterior workers that were painting our house for the week. Also, I couldn’t even tell a human lived here for a week, place was spotless. Overall, 11/10 experience and I will definitely be using her again!”
“Justin was wonderful! Charlie and Margaret were so happy- we could tell from the pictures that Justin sent to keep us updated over the weekend. We will absolutely book him again!”
“Ciboney did wonderful with Yoda. She sent sweet photos and kept us updated daily on what was going on. She left the house spotless. We would recommend her to anyone needing someone to housesit their precious fur babies!”
“Thank you so much Madison for all your help and attention for taking good care of Hank while we were out of town. We will definitely be rebooking! Knowing he just had surgery on Monday and having you be able to administer medication etc. was such a great piece of mind. Thank you!”
“Ellie was THE BEST!! We needed someone on pretty short notice and she’s been the best dog sitter we’ve ever had. Lots of updates, left the house in great condition, and is overall so sweet and nice. Will be booking with her again asap!!”
“We had Emily stay with our two dogs for two weeks at our house while we were away. She is excellent and goes above and beyond. She is by far the best communicator that we’ve experienced on Rover. We felt that our dogs were in such good hands while we were gone and that gave us a lot of peace of mind while we were away. I would highly recommend Emily and would love to use her services again in the future!”
“Aziz did a fantastic job house sitting for our dog and two cats during a week-long family trip. He communicated so well and clearly, pays great attention to detail, and our pets were so well taken care of. It's also worth noting that our two cats are elderly and require a fair bit more attention and care than ordinary cats, and Aziz did a marvelous job meeting their needs. Will definitely book again for future trips. :)”
“Sarah’s was great with my very senior Jack Russell Terrier. She was also on time for each sit which is very important to me, and was flexible and very good natured about a change in plans. A very good house sitter!”
“We have had Ryan care for our dog several times and he has done a great job. The dog is happy and well cared for and the house is left clean. Communication is easy and updates are given. Will book again!”

Tyler did very well house sitting with our pups while we were gone last weekend. He was compassionate and responsive. He sent us several pictures of our dogs to let us know that they were happy and well cared for! We already booked him again for our next trip away.

The average cost of House Sitting in Delano is $86 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $98 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 Delano 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 Delano 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 Delano 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.
