“It was such a pleasure to work with Karen! She is professional, reliable, kept me updated, and responded quickly to all my texts (I really miss my dog when I’m gone). She left my home in perfect condition. I look forward to having her stay in my home again soon.”
“Trinity is such a joy to work with, and our dogs love her. We received regular updates during her stay, along with photos, which is always nice. We needed someone with short notice and got so lucky to find Trinity! We will use her again in the future.”
About: I am a licensed professional counselor. I have one golden, Charlie. I’ve had many dogs over the years so my experience is varied. I take Charlie on daily runs and am fit and ready to give your dog some exercise!! I currently work in Montrose Monday-Friday during the day with weekends off. I am happy to talk more specific schedule questions individually if need be 🙂 I make sure they are comfy and cozy!! I have a child and a dog, so our home is always child/dog proofed! I take directions and care seriously, so I’ll only agree if I’m able to carry out the mission!
About: I have been taking care of animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up with horses, dogs, cats and a menagerie of smaller critters such as reptiles, hamsters, mice, rats, guineapigs, chinchillas, fish & more. The majority of the past 35 years I've been raising, chickens, ducks, turkeys, quail, rabbits, goats as well as dogs, cats & other small critters. I had the pleasure of many furry companions who have enriched my life, and I was able to see many of them live very long lives. I am a certified pet sitter, holistic animal behaviorist, certified in CPR/First Aide, and I have also taken several animal herbal, training & communication classes. I have been taking care of friends & family's animals for over 40 years and now I want to extend a helping hand to those on Rover who love their furry companions as much as I love mine. I teach at various venues such as Mesa County Libraries, CMU TECH, Home School Groups & The Bookcliffs Art Center. I can be very busy and then free for weeks just depends on the scheduling. Usually, my classes are 2 to 4 hours with additional drive time and the latest evening class ends at 8pm. So, I can easily do home visits twice a day and overnights are not a problem. I will be taking care of your furry friend in your home. Each home is differnt & each furry friend is different so, I have a questionnaire I ask all of my clients to fill out. The questionnaire askes for details such as what your pets' daily activities, food requirements, meds & administration methods if applicable, likes, dislikes & any instructions to make our time safe & happy. Please add any additional information if it is not . on the questionnaire.
“Lori took care of quite a full house for us — our St. Bernard, our French Bulldog, our barn cat, our chickens, and even our koi and goldfish and the pond — and it was a great first experience. She sent constant updates and photos throughout the stay, so we always knew exactly how everyone and everything was doing, which was especially reassuring given how much she had to juggle. She was easygoing, clearly comfortable with animals of all kinds, and handled the dogs and koi pond maintenance without a hitch. We'd happily recommend her to anyone with a busy household of pets and property, and we'll definitely be booking her again.”
“Mistie did a great job watching our two dogs and cat while we were out of town. There was plenty of communication and great pictures. We returned to some happy animals and a clean house. Would book her again!”
“Stacy is amazing - she kept our pups happy and in their routine while we were away & continually provided us with regular picture and text updates! Her dog is a sweetheart and she did a wonderful job of caring for our home. We are so glad to have found Stacy for this trip and for future travels!”
“If I could give 10 stars I would ! Jacob was absolutely wonderful. I couldn't have asked for anything more. He had a tough job and we almost cancelled a family reunion we had been planning for months. Our Bernese Mountain dog tore her ACL 2 weeks before we were set to go. She had surgery one week before we left. She had to have a lot of attention. And she got the best care from Jacob. Our Bernese had to have medication 3x a day, PT exercises 2x a day and had to wear the Cone of Shame :-( .. And she had to have her surgical sight cleaned, check and medicated everyday. She had to wear a sleeve on her leg and have it adjusted just right so it wasn't too tight or too loose. Jacob also had to take care of our old finicky cat and water indoor and outdoor plants. Like I said , we couldn't have had a better person to handle all of this than Jacob. He would lay on the floor with her and give her belly rubs several times a day and hold and carry around our cat, who is very particular of who can even touch him. We highly recommend Jacob to house sit, walk your dogs, take care of your pets etc. He was GREAT !”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 10, I have watched all sorts of dogs, from family to friends to coworkers, and neighbors even:) I’m currently working for a second job but I always make sure that my animal care come first, I try to reason with my clients if change happens. I always try to make sure my dogs and cats stay occupied with toys and treats and walks making sure that they are always fed 2 time a day
About: I’ve had dogs around me my entire life. As a child, my parents inevitably turned into the caregivers. As I entered adulthood, I saw just how monumental of a responsibility dogs are and what they require to feel happy, safe, secure and fulfilled. I truly believe dogs can suffer from sadness and anxiety if not properly cared for. My chocolate lab and English bulldog are my life and they both have such different needs. Dealing with a Brachycephalic dog has given me unique experience. Their sensitivities to environmental/food allergens, temperature extremes, other breeds, exercise limitations, etc. I’d like to think of our home as a safe haven for your dogs while you take that family vacation or go out of town for the weekend. My husband and I have foregone countless trips due to my inability to leave my fur babies behind. I offer my services so that you are able to be absent with peace of mind! I am currently a full time stay at home dog mom. After 16 years in the newspaper production business and most recently the mortgage industry, I decided to take a breather and do something I love that I know could directly impact others in a positive way. My husband and I have a rural property with 10 acres. Our home has an open floor plan with easy access to front and backyard playtime. Your pup will never feel isolated or lonely. We are set back 1 mile from the main road, allowing for freedom to roam and explore in peace!
“Kaya was an amazing dog sitter and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! She took such great care of our dog and kept us updated throughout the stay, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was obvious that Kaya genuinely cares about animals and made sure our dog felt comfortable, happy, and loved. She was reliable, kind, and easy to communicate with. We would absolutely trust her again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wonderful pet sitter!”
“Emily was awesome! We could tell that Bella was happy and well taken care of. We appreciated all the pictures and correspondence while Emily was with Bella. We will definitely ask Emily to come back and stay with Bella the next we travel. Thanks Emily!!!”

About: I love spending time with dogs and making sure they receive the care they need. I have experience raising two dogs, volunteering at the humane society, and am great with interacting with dogs of all ages and sizes. I would love to do lots of walking / hiking if your pets enjoy that. I am very excited to become a sitter/walker on Rover as this is a great way to spend more time with dogs when their owners are away. I especially love playing with puppies and will make sure any pet is receiving the love they deserve! I am willing to accommodate prices depending on the situation as I am very flexible.

FAQs for House Sitting - Dominguez
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 179 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Dominguez. 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 Dominguez 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 Dominguez 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 Dominguez 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.
