“Vanessa was an amazing sitter for our two elder min pins. Her attentiveness to their care and well being was so evident and our little ones just adored her. We will definitely be choosing Vanessa through Rover for future dog and house sitting opportunities .”
“**Absolute Perfection!** Sheila is truly amazing! We left our dogs in her care over the weekend, and she treated them like her own. We were able to enjoy our weekend without stress or worry! Her loving approach completely put us at ease. She provided regular updates throughout our time away, so we always knew what they were up to. Sheila is very professional. She came on time and communicated her schedule with us frequently. We came home to incredibly happy, healthy, and safe dogs. To top it all off, Sheila was so incredibly kind and even left a beautiful, thoughtful gift for the dogs and a kind note for us before she left. We couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter and will absolutely be reaching out to her again. Highly, highly recommend!”
About: I work at a puppy preschool training different breeds and ages of dogs. I have 2 dogs and 2 reptiles of my own, and watch my neighbors cats. Im currently working part time and doing school full time, mainly online. With this I have time to spare doing what | love; working with animals. My schedule is open, every other Saturday I do have to be at the nearly Fire Station due to being a Fire Explorer. In regards to caring for pets in my clients home I would take the pet for a walk, playing with them to initiate brain stimulation, and physical activity. If there were to be specific instructions left by the owners, I would try to accurately meet their accommodations.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for 5+ years now. I have 5 of my own doggos ranging from ages 2-8! I’ve lived with all of them at some point in time and am comfortable with taking care of more dogs. Currently living with my two 8 year old yorkiepoos I’m shifting to part time and will be available daily and soon will be free all day weekly in June 2024! I’m going to be relaxing until I start grad school. I am comfortable walking, feeding, bathing, and sleeping in the same vicinity as dogs. I have my own fenced backyard and will always be attentive to ensure safe playing
“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.”
About: As a long time owner of a working breed, I am familiar with energetic dogs that need both physical activity and mental stimulation to stay happy and healthy. I go on daily hour long strolls each evening with my own dog as well as morning walks with play sessions scattered throughout the day. In addition to caring for my own dog, I've regularly helped friends and watch their dogs while they're away. This has given me experience caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. Whether it's taking them on walks, keeping up with feeding schedules, providing companionship, or making sure they feel comfortable in a new environment, I enjoy getting to know each dog's unique needs and personality! When caring for your dog, my goal is to make them feel safe, loved, and at home while you're away, whether that means going on long walks, playing fetch, sticking to their routine, or simply providing companionship and attention. I live in a home with a fenced backyard with my partner who is also work from home, so we have a very flexible schedule and will always have at least one person supervising your pet. Since I've also used dog sitting apps before for when I needed to travel abroad, I understand how important it is to keep you updated with photos, messages, and plenty of reassurance so you can enjoy your time away knowing your dog is in good hands. I'm currently in-between jobs, so I'll have plenty of time to spend the day with your pups! This also means my current schedule is very flexible to fit around your dogs routine and needs. I have a fenced backyard with a friendly 4 year old Samoyed in a very walk-able neighborhood. I have a dog bed is most rooms around the house so they can pick and choose wherever they wish to lounge.
“Jordan was amazing! My senior citizen has a history of bad anxiety especially around the Fourth of July with the fireworks but Jordan kept me reassured that my boy was doing great and that made me at peace while I was away, which is all I can ever ask for while I’m away. She sent pictures and updates and I would definitely reuse her again.”
“I can’t say enough good things about Beverly! She stayed at our house to take care of our dogs while we were away, and honestly, it made our trip so much easier knowing they were in her hands. She sent us the sweetest photo updates throughout her stay and kept us in the loop about everything, from playtime to nap time. It was clear our pups absolutely loved her, and they were happy and tired in the best way when we got home. We’re already hoping Beverly is available the next time we need to travel. Thank you so much, Beverly!”
“Haley was wonderful taking care of our dog and home. We have already booked her for multiple dates. Bubby was happy so we were happy! She also had no problem giving him his meds.”
“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 have experience with house sitting for a household that has multiple dogs and cats with as much supervision as needed. I am able to give updates whenever it is needed and to ask questions about a pets' habits. I will take dogs on walks in the morning as a way of exercise for the pets and myself. I will also do my best to learn their feeding schedule if it is needed so that I can adjust how much food would be needed. I am able to give updates whenever it is needed and to ask questions about a pets' habits. I understand if some animals need to be in separate rooms and will give attention to every animal in the household.
About: I grew up with family pets such as nursing my 3 legged dog and rescuing cats. As well, as sitting for my cousins family pets! Pet care fits perfectly into my routine since I am available mornings and afternoons! A daily walk is great of me and my furry friend I care for my furry friends like family. I believe animals are pure innocence and need love and patience. Every animal has different levels of energy and socialization. They should be serviced to what they need!
About: I've had dogs all my life. I started taking care of mine (+feeding, grooming, bathing, training, etc) when I was about 10 years old. I mostly work mid-shifts so I'm available for night stays when needed. Weekend mornings are completely free so early walks. Mondays and Tuesdays are completely free as well. I would prefer to care for your dog at your house because mine isn't fenced in. I will make sure to ask/know about your house ahead of time to do the best for your dog.
“Justin took good care of our home and fur babies while we were away on a 9 day trip. She kept me informed the entire time, took pictures, and sent daily updates on most if not all days. I would definitely use her again 😊. Thank you Justine!”
About: I have loved and cared for dogs of all ages since I was a child. I trained my own fur baby and have helped my friends with their own puppies. I am currently working full-time (9-5) however I am available to house sit on the weekend. I am available to walk dogs in the morning before 8:30AM and after 5PM. Message me and we can always find a schedule that works for the both of us. I set a fairly strict schedule for my dogs. I wake up around 6AM and walk the dogs for about 30 minutes. I feed them before I go off to work and take them out to the park for play time after I get home. I always put the fur babies first in ensuring their happiness and comfort.
About: **About me** I have absolutely adored animals since I was little and I am excited at the future opportunities of spending more time pets. I am a full time student, I love finding new parks, beaches, and areas to explore and would be more than happy to take your pet along with me if you feel comfortable I have a dog, cat & gecko and have full knowledge on how to take care of each 😁 I would love the opportunity to pet sit your fur baby 🐾 As a long time pet owner myself, I expect nothing but professional and attentive care to my pets. That being said, I let my work reflect on my core values. As a Rover sitter, I am fully available weekends and holidays. During the weekdays I am available after 4:30pm. **About my neighborhood** We live in a suburban neighborhood with ample sidewalk space and parks nearby. The closest park, is a nature reserve, around the corner from home. Plenty for pups to see, smell, and play with. We are currently living in shared housing and are not readily available to host pets in our own home. Although some day we hope to have our own home and be able to extend these services.

Pepper had a great time with Melanie while we were on vacation. She stayed at overnight at our home and looked after dog very well even after the dog had a little hiccup with the leash and harness. Melanie is respectful and a great communicator. We all appreciate Melanie very much and look forward to hiring her again!.
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.
Jessica is the perfect sitter! I knew she was a good fit when our dog went up to her right away when we did a meet and greet. He is very particular, or I should say skeptical. I feel completely comfortable with her in our home and we come home to happy animals and a house as we left it (or maybe better?) Can not recommend her enough!
Sara did such a great job taking care of our cat! She gave him the care he needed, including getting his daily medication. She was also really communicative and sent tons of photos! She also took great care of our home while she stayed there, everything was very clean when we returned. We hope to continue to use her whenever we need a pet sitter:)
We had a great experience with Imani and her fiancé! They were very good at communicating before and during the stay and sent updates and photos of our dogs. Our dog and puppy were very happy and comfortable with them. We felt completely at ease leaving our dogs in their care. I couldn’t recommend them more!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Duarte on Rover is $48.29 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 15,394 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Duarte. 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 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.
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 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 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.

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.
