About: I understand the time and attention they need while caring for them. I have had couple relevant experiences that include caring my grandmother's husband cat and feeding friends' cats when they need extra hands. I’m happy to follow each cat’s unique routine and give them the attention and care they need, whether that means fresh food and water, companionship, or simply making sure they feel safe in their own home! As a student my schedule is extremely flexible allowing me to step out and take care of your animals when needed. I have form of transportation allowing me to quickly attend to your animals side if needed. When caring for my own dogs, I make sure they have plenty of opportunities to go outside and run around in a secure, enclosed area where they can safely burn off energy. I keep them on a consistent feeding schedule, regularly check that they have fresh water, and make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, and playtime. When caring for pets in a client's home, I would follow their usual routines and any specific instructions to help their pets feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while their owners are away. I want every pet to feel loved and every owner to feel confident that their pet is in good hands!
“Clare took great care of our place while we were out of the country for a week! It was nice to relax knowing our dog and cat were in great hands. She helped pick up packages and keep our space tidy and neat too. Highly recommend Clare for any pet sitting needs!”
“Aubrie was a wonderful pet sitter. This was the first time using her services for our dog and she communicated so well, which helped us be reassured that our pup was well taken care of. She even left our house cleaner than we left it.”
“Joshuah was a life saver. He made himself available near the last minute, and when my flight wad delayed, he stayed a couple hours longer than scheduled. He left the place just as clean as I left it, and most importantly, I came home to happy critters! He also sent several pictures every day, which I loved, especially as I was a couple thousand miles away.”
“Kayla was great with my babies. She communicated well and kept me informed about when she would not be with them. I appreciate her care and affection toward them and will absolutely book with her again in the future. Thank you so much Kayla for keeping my babies company and loving on them while I was away.”
About: Hi everyone! My name is Jolie. I'm originally from the Bay Area, and I'm currently a senior at Cal Poly SLO. A little bit about my experience—I grew up with 4 dogs (2 Shiba Inus, a Malti-poo, and a German shepherd!) and my family and I also have two cats (a Scottish fold and a Tabby). I absolutely love animals, and I have experience dog sitting at clients' homes as well as providing dog walking services. I also help babysit my neighbor's cat when they are away! If you have any questions, please feel free to message me :) I'm pretty much free all day on Saturdays and Sundays! As for the week: - Mondays & Wednesday: Anytime after 7pm - Tuesday & Thursday: Anytime after 2:30pm - Friday: Anytime after 1pm Whether in my home or the client's home, safety is always important. Part of this is understanding the type of animal and age and understanding how these factors play into behavioral aspects. For example, if there is a younger pet, make sure there is nothing dangerous for them to find and potentially chew/eat on the floor. Overall, just understanding and taking into consideration that every pet is different/has different personalities, wants/needs, and ensuring they have everything they need (water, food, potty area, etc.)

“Gabi did a wonderful job house sitting Ola. I appreciate how communicative she was and how well taken care of Ola was. She provided peace of mind, and most importantly, I can tell she is really good with dogs. She also helped out with our cockatiel.”
About: Hey there! My name is Anna. Whether it’s walks, visits, play, or potty breaks I want to help you make sure your pup is well taken care of! Regardless of age, breed, size, or ability I think dogs deserve the best from the people around them and I’m happy to give that!

“Ysabel took excellent care of our anxious little pup. He curled up in her lap, napped, enjoyed treats, and felt safe and cared for. Ysabel asked all the right questions of us about his needs and routine, and she sent us photo updates during her time with him. Ysabel is a reliable, professional, and courteous sitter. We will absolutely ask her to dog sit for us again!”
About: Dogs have been apart of my life since I was 8 years old. Personally I took care of a Boston terrier and that is the only breed that Ive worked with in my house. Other breeds that I’ve had experience with our my neighbors dogs including different types of Pitbulls and huskies. I am very comfortable with larger dog find them to be huge lovers. I am welcome to any size dog i know I can handle and take care of them based on my personal experience with my own pets and neighbors pets. My neighbors pets have been in my life longer than the Boston terrier that we got as a family dog. My family has now had three Boston terriers throughout my lifetime. I am currently a full-time Cal poly Humboldt student, but I have 1 to 2 hour breaks between most of my classes and I’m free in the evenings for dog walking throughout the day. I am currently moved out of my parents house so I don’t have any pets in my home but I have a fenced off backyard and is spacious living area if they need to stay overnight that is OK. I have plenty of places to walk right outside of my home. In the clients home I would be able to do any pet care that they may require or want such as walking be brushing. Any of the grooming that the dog me and on top of taking care of them. In the clients home I would be able to do any pet care that they may require or want such as walking be brushing.

“She took care of our puppy for three nights and days, and we couldn’t have been happier with the care she provided. Taking care of a young puppy is a big commitment, and she was responsible, and dedicated throughout the entire stay. She was very proactive about asking questions whenever she wanted to make sure she was doing exactly what was best for our puppy, which we really appreciated. She also kept us updated and sent us lots of great pictures. We would absolutely trust her to take care of her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable pet sitter. She also left our house very clean.”
“Sophie is great with my Labrador pup. Very attentive and great at following all feeding and care instructions. I feel very safe having Juna with Sophie and never have to worry.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Edna
Kalani was amazing with our two challenging fur babies. They were both looked healthy and happy when we returned from our trip. We were worried the dogs would scare her off since one can look very threatening until he warms up to you and the other has issues with potty training and often marks in the house and more. But everything was in order when we returned, and the pictures Kalani sent regularly definitely showed happy dogs playing. My husband and I are so happy that we found her!
My fiancée and I enjoyed another awesome getaway weekend thanks to Bella's reliable services. The pups have quickly become admirers of hers, and spent the weekend power-lounging and getting spoiled by her. She stayed in touch with us and sent plenty of cute pics. I would highly recommend her to anyone, and am looking forward to working with her again soon.
Bella is a fantastic sitter who has an obvious love of dogs. During our meet and greet, she displayed an infinite amount of patience with one of our dogs who isn't very sociable. She communicated with us very well, and even rescued said anti-social mutt from his fireworks-induced madness. I wholeheartedly recommend her as a sitter, and am looking forward to booking her again in the future.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Edna is $39 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $92 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 Edna 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 Edna 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 Edna 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
