Jennifer was easy to communicate with right from the beginning. She kept us updated during the 2 days she kept our elderly dog. Our dog requires medicine and wears diapers which was not a problem for Jennifer. I hope to use her again! Our dog loved her!

Christine was absolutely amazing with our two miniature dachshunds while she stayed at our home. She sent us daily updates and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Our 10-year-old girl Lychee had an allergy flare-up, and Christine followed all of our instructions carefully with both her medication and topical treatment to help keep her comfortable. We truly appreciated how attentive and responsible she was with her care. We came back to a clean home and two very happy pups. Everything was handled perfectly from start to finish. We honestly can’t recommend Christine enough — we are so happy we found her and will definitely be booking with her again in the future.

I couldn't be more thrilled with the outstanding care Danette provided for Buddy. Coming home to a genuinely happy and content pup speaks volumes about the quality of Danette's service. Her attention to detail, love for animals, and responsible approach make her an exceptional dog sitter. I highly recommend Danette to fellow pet owners looking for top-notch care for their furry companions. Thank you, Danette, for going above and beyond!

About: I’ve always had a deep love for animals and have been caring for them for over 15 years, including dogs, cats, and horses. I recently lost my beloved dog, Diesel, who was a huge part of my life. While I’m not quite ready to open my heart to another pet of my own yet, I have so much love and care to give to yours. I truly enjoy getting to know each animal and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, happy, and loved while their family is away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, feeding, or simply keeping them company, I’ll care for your pets with the same love, patience, and attention I’ve always given my own. I work from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to spend plenty of time with your pets throughout the day. I’m also happy to stay in your home so they can remain in the environment where they feel safest and most comfortable. I can keep them company while I work and maintain their normal routine with walks, meals, playtime, cuddles, and lots of love and attention. I believe most pets are happiest and most comfortable in their own home, surrounded by their familiar smells, routines, and favorite spots. Since I work from home, I’m able to stay with them and give them plenty of companionship throughout the day rather than leaving them alone for long periods. I’ll follow your routines and instructions closely and treat your pets and your home with the same love, care, and respect I would my own.

Tatianna took wonderful care of my dog while I was out for the evening. She arrived on time, then walked him on one of the coldest nights of the year, gave him treats, and paid lots of attention to him. I will not hesitate to have Tatianna come back again.

Allison was able to extend her care for my dog when my return flight was delayed. She came in clutch in an emergency. She is conscientious, caring and kind. She adjusted to the routine my elderly dog was used to so things stayed consistent for him. It helped out a lot and he was clearly happy and well cared for.

About: I have taken care of animals, big & small since I was a little girl. I have always been the first contact for friends and family that need someone to care for their animals while they’re away! I am available anytime - I am an early riser and late time caregiver. I understand schedules can be rough & I want to give peace of mind! My rescue dog is animal aggressive, so my baby cannot be around others. I would have to come to your home…Dog walking, playing in the yard, feeding, all the attention & snuggles are included!

We did a meet and greet with Gretchen and knew right away that she would be a wonderful fit to watch our dogs. She was incredibly responsive and worked with our schedule, which we really appreciated. Throughout the day, she sent us pictures and updates, which gave us so much peace of mind and allowed us to see how happy and comfortable our dogs were. We felt completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands. Thank you so much, Gretchen, for taking such great care of our pups! We highly recommend her and will absolutely be reaching out again in the future. 😊

If you are going out of town and want the absolute best dog sitter by a landslide - pick Eni. We went out of town for 4 nights and she took photos and chatted with us multiple times a day to check in. I cannot say enough, honestly. I have never felt so assured and confident that everything with my dog and home would be in fantastic hands. Will book her again every time.

Christine was amazing with our furniture babies and able to roll seamlessly with the craziness of our needs, including an ear infection just before we left resulting in the need to administer medications and assisting with our flock of chickens. Would definitely recommend.

We had such a great experience with Abby ! She stayed overnight with our Golden Retriever and German Shorthaired Pointer and took excellent care of my boys. She was incredibly attentive and made sure they were happy, comfortable, and well cared for while we were away. I really appreciated how consistently she kept us updated with messages and pictures—it gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. She did an amazing job, and I would absolutely rebook with her in the future. Highly recommend! ❤️🐾

FAQs for House Sitting - El Jobean

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in El Jobean on Rover is $33.3 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 775 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across El Jobean. 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 El Jobean 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 El Jobean 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 El Jobean 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 El Jobean. On Rover:

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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.
