“We traveled out of state for a wedding and Vanessa took wonderful care of our elderly blind dog. She was very detail oriented about our dog's care routine and medicine needs. The constant photo updates made us feel at peace and allowed us to enjoy our trip knowing that Ellie was in great hands. We highly recommend Vanessa to anyone looking for a sitter.”
“First time we used Emily. She took care of our German Shepherd and Cat. Both were well taken care of, communication was great and Emily was very patient getting instructions and updates from us. We will hire her again.”
“Sara was awesome with our 9 year old Lab/Pit mix! I am so grateful! She did everything that was asked of her and more, took pictures and kept me updated on how our dog was doing. So grateful!!! I would definitely recommend her.”
“Jacqueline was amazing! Out dog loved her so much! She walked our dog every day and sent me multiple cute pictures with sweet message every single day we were gone. Jacqueline really is a gem! Shes perfect in every way, and we will definitely book her again. Shes simply the best.”
“Celest was so great. My dogs a little shy and celest gave her the time and space to get to know her. Celest sent texts in the morning and at night with pictures that included little updates. I felt totally at ease on my vacation. She’s a great sitter!”
“Highly recommend Krista. She sent photos and updates throughout the day. She is very responsive and answered all my messages thoughtfully. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. We will for sure call her back :)”
“Laura did house-sitting and dog-sitting for me for 10 days and is 100% reliable, dependable and honest. She is an absolute dream to deal with, and follows directions perfectly, and goes above and beyond for her clients, I was impressed and truly grateful. She took care of my house for 10 days, watered my garden (lots of plants!), and took perfect care of my 2 senior dogs. She came twice a day, every day and stayed for hours, was consistent and reliable and didn't miss anything. My dogs loved her and she is very gentle and patient with them. Laura was also very good at sending photos and updates of my dogs every day, which was very appreciated. I highly recommend Laura for any of your pet sitting (or house sitting) needs and will definitely be using her services again in the future. Thank you Laura!”
About: Hello! My name is Nick, I originally come from Colorado—the land of dog lovers. I’ve owned pets my whole life, including a golden retriever, two Yorkies, two American Bulldogs, and a Chihuahua/Dachshund mix. My experience and skills are mostly with small-to-mid-sized breeds, but I do love taking care of big dogs too (bonus points if you have a poodle mix!) I am able to fit pet care into my daily life very easily. The type of work I do outside of this makes it incredibly easy for me to be on the move and take time out of my day to give your pet the attention they need. When I take care of people’s pets, I generally like to have a first meeting with the clients and their pets to make sure they are comfortable around me and confirm all details about taking care of their pets. Depending on what a client needs, I can either stay with the pet for most of or all of the days, or I can just pop in to visit, feed, and walk them and leave. Whatever works best, I’m here for you and I know you know your pet best, so whatever they need is what I will provide!

About: Have experience mainly with bully breed type dogs 100lbs & under as well as cats, lizards, & fish. My experiences have been mainly with rescues. I have helped find loving homes for dogs as well as caring for and rehoming cats. Everyday is a learning experience and enjoy creating bonds with new fur friends! I currently have a flexible schedule that can be adjusted with reasonable scheduling and communication (usually a week advanced notice is preferred). I typically make time to walk my pets in the early mornings/late afternoons/nights and allow the dogs to roam the yard or come relax inside as they please and depending on weather conditions. I would prefer to have pets (especially dogs) to become familiar with me first before we consider boarding them with me. I can accommodate inhouse crate/private room or outdoor crate/private gated kennel for housing.
About: I’ve had my first pet since I was 8 and I’ve loved animals ever since I could remember. I had my first dog walking job in my early 20s when I was in college and my first dog bestfriend was a Shiba Inu. I literally loved him like he was my own. I took him everywhere and anywhere that I went. I helped raised and trained him since he was 6 months old up until he was 7. Unfortunately, our journey had to come into an end when I had to move states for my first career out of college. Now that I’m back home in Cali, I’ve been yearning for another dog best friend or few. Sadly, where I currently live doesn’t allow for dogs on the premises so I’d be happy to go wherever to take care of your furry loved one! My experience includes basic obedience skills such as training and leash manners. **I am also extremely protective of your animals so I won’t take them where I know they could potentially be in danger or in harm.** *I am very communicative and will send pics when you’re away! I am available on the weekends, evenings, and holidays! I am sometimes free during mid afternoons. I am also available to board if when it is requested. I like to make sure that I am in constant communication with every pet’s owners. My preference is that I am provided with a list of do’s and don’ts. Otherwise I like to maintain a clean environment and make sure all animals are fed based on the schedule and amount that the owner provides. I like to be in constant observance of all animal’s habits in case for any changes of health or behaviors and I make sure to maintain a healthy amount of affection based on each animal’s needs.
“Alexis agreed to watch Roxy and Neo at our home with less than a week to go before our trip. We put in the request and she came for a meet and greet on the same day. She took great care of our babies, giving them lots of love and allowing their routine to stay as close to normal as possible. We were able to relax and really enjoy our holidays with our families knowing she was looking after them. She went above and beyond and left the house nice for us so that we could come home and get straight to resting with our animals. We are so grateful for her and hope she’ll watch Roxy and Neo again! 10/10 would recommend choosing Alexis for your pet sitting needs!”
“Alan and Melissa clearly love dogs, and they did an admirable job of looking after our German shepherd for three days. In fact, we have already booked them for a longer stay during Thanksgiving week. They are a responsible, personable couple--the sort of dog sitters that are a credit to the Rover service.”
“Tamar was fantastic with my four-year-old husky. She has a husky herself so she understood the nuances.She was very attentive and stayed for long periods of time. She sent a lot of pictures and updates. The communication is superb and follow up was really appreciated. Tamar was very respectful of my house, I definitely recommend using Tamar for housesitting.”
About: I’ve taken care of many dogs throughout my years, my closest friends and family have always relied on me as the person who can get the job done when it comes to taking care of their pets with love and care. I currently work from home with a flexible schedule that gives me the ability to watch over pets whether it’s at my house or a local person’s home. I live in a one level apartment complex that has a back cement / grass area for my dog to get sun and use the potty, I also have a good size grass area in the front of my place that I take her out when needed.
“Kimmy is awesome! We are repeat clients of hers and will continue to be. Kimmy follows our schedule for our dogs with care and compassion. If you are looking for a diligent, reliable sitter, book Kimmy!”
About: I am a former Dog mom of an American bulldog for 13 years. I have pet sat for cats and dogs for over 15 years. I will take great care of your pets! I am very active and can walk your dog 3 to 4 times per day. I have a small yard with privacy hedges. I can’t wait to care for your pets! I am working from home and I’m available all day and evening to take care of your pets, feed, walk, and bathe if required. I have a very flexible schedule. I can crate your dog if needed but he or she is free to sleep on their bed in any room in my house. Pets are OK on the couch, if that is what you allow at your home. The couch is covered. I have a small yard with privacy hedges. I am close to many parks and trails to walk your dogs, and I’m very familiar with the San Gabriel and Los Angeles area for good places to walk your dogs. I had an American Bulldog for 13 years and cared for him as he aged with medications and treatments. I have cared for senior cats, kittens, and dogs of all ages. I love to run and can keep up with fast dogs. My house is very secure so if I am pet sitting a cat, you can trust that your kitty will be safe.

Thank you Sheila for taking care of my 2 young Australian Cattle Dogs. They are a handful and they really adapted to you well. Not everyone can handle this breed and Sheila did an amazing job.I would definitely would recommend her for your dog sitting needs:))
Pasha and Nathan were absolutely fantastic with our home, two dogs, and new cat. They were reliable, communicative, and clearly took great care of everything while we were away. All of our pets were happy, relaxed, and well loved when we returned, and the house was in great shape. We would happily book them again.
Joliana was so wonderful with our cat, Siri! We are always a little nervous to leave our elderly girl who has some light separation anxiety, and needs daily medication, but Joliana did great! She sent photos daily and assured us that Siri was relaxing and had no problem taking her medication. Joli also left our home in great condition. We would definitely hire her again in the future.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Duarte is $48 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $85 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 Duarte 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 Duarte 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 Duarte 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.

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.
