Joy was absolutely wonderful with our dog! This was our first time having a dog sitter come to our home, and Joy made the experience so comfortable and stress-free. I could tell right away that Skye was treated with so much care and love. Joy kept us updated, took great care of her during walks, and was very attentive and thoughtful. We felt completely at ease knowing Skye was in such good hands. We will definitely be rebooking her in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter! 🥰🐾

About: I have grown up around animals my whole life, including caring for cats and dogs. I’ve helped care for family dogs and raised my own cat, Salem, since he was a kitten. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I’m experienced with feeding schedules, playtime, cleaning, giving attention, and creating a safe and comfortable environment for pets. I treat every animal with the same patience, love, and care I give my own. I am currently home for the summer with a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care. I can provide regular check-ins, playtime, feeding routines, and companionship while making sure each pet feels comfortable and cared for. I prioritize safety, patience, and creating a comfortable environment for every pet I care for. I follow each owner’s instructions closely, respect their home and routines, and provide updates so owners feel confident their pets are happy, safe, and receiving loving care.

Tiana was really wonderful. This was the first time we had booked with her for a house sitting and pet sitting. She was professional, kind, very communicative and really took great care of our babies. She sent photos, videos and updates regularly in just 24 hours. She proactively brought in our mail. Our home and our 3 pets were very well cared for. We most certainly will book with her again and encourage you to do the same!

Estela was very professional and friendly towards our dog. Somehow our dog instantly bonded with her and even though he has separation anxiety, with Estela he was quite comfortable and calm. I would like to request her service again.

About: I have hands-on experience caring for my own Samoyed, which has given me a strong understanding of large-breed dogs, their energy levels, grooming needs, and daily routines. In addition to Samoyeds, I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and breeds, as well as cats. What sets me apart is my patience, attentiveness, and ability to follow care instructions closely. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality, habits, and comfort level, whether that means energetic walks, gentle playtime, or simply providing calm companionship. I also help reinforce basic routines such as leash manners, feeding schedules, potty breaks, and medication if needed. Since I work part-time, I have a flexible schedule and can give pets the time and attention they deserve. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always prioritize their safety and well-being. I work part-time as a dental assistant, which gives me a flexible and predictable schedule. This allows me to plan pet care visits, walks, and check-ins thoughtfully throughout my day and week. I only accept bookings that I can fully commit to, so pets always receive attentive, unrushed care. Pet care fits comfortably into my routine, and I genuinely enjoy spending my free time caring for dogs and cats. I care for pets with a focus on safety, trust, and comfort. Whether in the pet’s home or during visits, I follow your instructions carefully, ensure the environment is secure, and supervise pets at all times. I pay attention to each animal’s needs and personality, providing food, water, playtime, or rest as appropriate. I also send updates to keep owners informed and reassured.

About: I've always been an animal enthusiast for the longest time! As long as i remember I've taken care of a plethora of pets from a small goldfish to an energetic Doberman. This experience has given me a keen eye and compassion on how to keep pets happy and cared for! I'm currently a full-time student with a lot of flexible hours, which means more time to take care of your furry companion. I'm available for sitting and walks: all day on Sundays, Mondays, and Wednesdays and in the early day on Saturdays. I'll be sure that not only does your pet (or pets) stay happy and clean but your home as well! If you have any specifications concerning caring or walking your pets I'll follow them to a T!

About: I have had, and taken care of, many dogs in my life. From big dogs, to small dogs, and senior dogs of both kinds, I have experience with it all. Every dog is my favorite dog, and I can’t wait to meet your best friend! :) I am currently in school as well as working part time, however I live quite close to both, so I do spend a frequent amount of time in my home, meaning I’ll be available for your pup at almost all times. I live with three other roommates, so perfect if your dog loves attention, and I am well equipped to walk your dogs as far as they may need to go to be relatively worn out. I let animals snuggle and cuddle with me, but I can help with any training they may specifically have.

Charlie was fantastic! He took great care of all of our pets and ensured that they were loved and tended to throughout the day. He went above and beyond and visited the pets twice before taking on the task of handling them on his own, which shows his dedication to his clients. He sent tons of pictures and videos to us throughout and we would book him again if available in the future! :) He was also very quick to communicate throughout the entire experience to add onto this!

I highly recommend Yifei! She took amazing care of Koda and kept me updated throughout his stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. She was very kind, patient, and attentive, and it was clear that she truly cared for him. One thing I especially appreciated was that she brought Koda to her house so he could play with her dogs. He had such a great time, and it was obvious how happy and comfortable he was. He came home happy, and well cared for.

Millie was amazing! This was our first time leaving our dogs with a sitter on Rover & we were definitely nervous. Millie put us at ease and took wonderful care of our dogs. She sent lots of photos & was receptive to all directions we left for her. She was also very thoughtful & considerate of doing household things prior to leaving (ie. Taking trash out, doing dishes, etc). We would highly recommend Millie for any dog sitting & will use her again in the future!

Elizabeth was punctual, conscientious, and kind. She took good care of our two cats. They were relaxed when we returned, which was far different from the last sitter we had. I’ve already rebooked with Elizabeth for later this month. She’s trustworthy and lovely to work with — very communicative. She washed the bedding without being asked and left the place exactly as we did. We hardly noticed anyone was here. I highly recommend her house sitting services.

Vanessa was a wonderful house and pet sitter! She asked all the right questions and took such good care of our dog while we were gone. Our Paisley has a hard time being left alone and she was very considerate of that and even went the extra mile to get her to eat when she was being finicky. We received plenty of updates and she left our house looking as it was when we left. We'd book her again and our dog Paisley absolutely loved her! The cat Leela loved her too and she's pretty aloof!

FAQs for House Sitting - East Foothills

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in East Foothills 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 4,054 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across East Foothills. 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 East Foothills 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 East Foothills 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 East Foothills 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in East Foothills. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% can help with daily exercise

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.
