“Vy was a pleasure to have as a dogsitter! We only needed her for the night, but she was very thorough and communicative, ensuring we had pictures and updates throughout the night. Will book again soon.”
“Angelina was absolutely wonderful with my little dog, Peach. From the moment she arrived, I felt completely at ease knowing he was in caring and trustworthy hands. She was kind, attentive, patient, and treated him with genuine love and affection. It’s not easy to leave your pet with someone else, but Angelina made the entire experience stress-free and reassuring. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup, and I couldn’t be more grateful. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and professional pet sitter. Thank you, Angelina, for taking such great care of my little boy! ❤️”
About: I have taken care of my neighbors’ and family friends dogs since 2015 ranging from English bulldog to Chihuahua to full size labradoodles. I have also cared for my own dogs. I am currently working part-time Monday-Thursday and am available after 3pm. I am fully available on Fridays. I work 1 weekend day which does fluctuate between Saturday and Sunday depending on the week - on that work day, I am available before 9:30am and after 6:30pm. I am very respectful of the client’s home. I will obey their house rules. I will make sure to be thorough with any provided instructions and ask questions about things I am not sure about. I keep a clean and organized space.
“Abbigail did an outstanding job with our little and big fella. She was thoughtful, caring, practical and trustworthy. She even left the house clean. Would absolutely book her again for dog walking or dog sitting. Thank you Abby!!”
“Ana is an EXCEPTIONAL pet sitter!!! The best ever! I can't say enough nice things about her. She Sent pictures of him and communicated with me on a daily basis, while on a 12 day cruise! She gave him a bath, medication, and hand fed him when he was reluctant To eat. She left my house sparkling - totally clean & my Yorkie looking super healthy and cute! She was an angel - took care of my little dog like he was her own. I know he was sad to see her leave - but we will Always call her in the future! Thank you Ana!!!🌺❤️ You are truly an amazing person!!”
“Vivien took such great care of Zyon! She sent me periodic pictures and videos! She followed my feeding and medication instructions perfectly and walked her multiple times :) Zyon was also on medication and had to wear an Elizabeth collar bc of her spay, Vivien made sure to take care of her well with this extra medical need that my pet has! Would definitely recommend having her watch your fur baby :)”
“Alicia was the first sitter we used on Rover, and we couldn't have asked for a better first impression. Our dog, Barnaby, can be a bit skittish around new people, but Alicia didn't have any problem getting him to warm up to her. We felt very at ease with Alicia watching our dog, and I'd definitely recommend her in the future.”
“Lindsey was awesome! She took great care of our fur babies while we were away on vacation. She sent us lots of pictures and updates daily so were well informed, and also kept great care of the house and left is nice and clean! We would recommend Lindsey 100% and plan to hire her again in the future.”
“This was our first time hiring a stay-at-home Rover, and we feel so lucky that it was Kaylee. She took such great care of our dog and was so mindful and respectful of our home. She was wonderful during the meet-and-greet - she arrived promptly, spent about 30min w/ us, and took the time to get to know our dog, Vanta. She was experience in animal healthcare, and I could tell from the way she approached Vanta (who isn't the friendliest at first!) that she is confident working w/ dogs and knows what she is doing. All weekend, she sent photos and updates that showed how comfortable and happy Vanta was with her. I felt completely at ease knowing she was in good hands! Highly recommend Kaylee :)”
“Shhelby recently watched my dog when I was out of the country and did an amazing job. My dog was having tummy issues and Shhelby handled it so well, was very conscientious, and sent me thorough and frequent updates. She left my place cleaner than she found it and most importantly I could tell she really cared about my dog. Strongly recommend her.”
“100% the best! Took care of our two golden’s Sunny and Candy, and we will definitely book with them again. We received consistent updates and pictures. She was supportive in giving medication to Sunny who got a hot spot just a few days before our trip and we were so happy he was in good hands.”
“We could not be happier with our dog sitter! She has such a calm, caring energy, and our little 11-month-old pup absolutely adores her. From the moment they met, we could tell he felt comfortable and safe with her. She goes above and beyond by making sure he is well-fed, gets plenty of playtime, multiple walks each day, and lots of love and attention. It's clear she genuinely enjoys caring for dogs and treats them like her own. As pet parents, it gives us tremendous peace of mind knowing our puppy is in such great hands while we're away. We have been so impressed that we've already booked her for two more upcoming trips. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and compassionate dog sitter! 🐾❤️”
About: Cared for cats and dogs of all activity levels, ages, and medical needs. I am experienced in administering medicines, following strict schedules, and making sure pets are well adjusted while their parents are out of town. I have both a cat and a dog at home and have owned pets all my life. I am passionate about pet care and making sure pets feel well adjusted. I like to spend as much time with pets as I can an make sure that they have plenty of time to get their energy out. Depending on their comfortability, I find it works best to be present in their space so they know someone is there for them while their parents are out of town. For non-overnights I check in at least twice a day and spend some time after feedings to keep them company.
“So lucky to have found Kathy through Rover, she was an exceptional sitter for our two dogs. Our boys are leash reactive so we are always a little anxious to leave them under just anyone’s care, but with Kathy we’ve never felt more at ease. Great communicator and responsive, would definitely book her again if we can!”
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and have spent the last 10+ years caring for family and friends’ pets, from feeding, walking, playing, and just keeping them happy and comfortable. I treat every dog like my own, paying close attention to their routines, quirks, and needs so owners can relax knowing their pet is in good hands. My schedule is flexible, so I have plenty of time to give your pet the attention it deserves. Whether it’s a walk during the day, an overnight stay, or regular visits throughout the week, I can work around your needs. I’m happy to discuss a routine that fits your pet’s specific requirements. I’m comfortable caring for pets in either my home or yours, whatever makes your pet most comfortable. My home has a fully fenced yard, giving pets plenty of safe space to run and play outside. I follow your instructions closely for feeding, medication, and routines, and I always prioritize your pet’s safety and comfort in either setting.
“Robert is so very amenable. He was so helpful in a pinch and went ABOVE AND BEYOND. He is a great fit. My pup and cat loved him. He was right on schedule with all their needs and got them up and moving and staying healthy!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of every kind since I was 12 years old. I have a great reputation and known for being very caring and friendly towards pets. I’m a dog and cat bather too so I can also bath your pet! I currently work part time so I have plenty of spare time to care for your pets. I work in the mornings so I have the afternoons free for your pets. I will make sure your pet is safe indoors or outdoors. I will cradle your pet if needed to keep them safe from any visitors you might be having in your home or the mailman.
“This is my first time using Rower and I’m so glad I did. Katie made this process so easy for me. My dog Lucy is 15 1/2 and have never stayed with anyone before. Katie was great with her so much so that I’m going to trust her with Lucy for 16 days while I’m on vacation. Katie send me pictures of Lucy while under her care and when I came back Lucy was happy.”
About: Dogs and cats have always been part of my life. I'm the go-to sitter for friends and family, and I genuinely love it. When I'm with your pet, they get real attention: walks, playtime, and someone who's present with them the whole time. I pay close attention to the animals in my care. On one stay, I noticed a dog had an injury the day after his owners left. I kept them informed and confident throughout the whole recovery, and by the time they got home, he was almost fully healed and thriving. You'll get regular updates and photos while you're gone so you can actually enjoy your trip. Your pet is family. I treat them that way. I work remotely, so I'm around throughout the day, no long stretches where your pet is alone. I can let them out anytime, squeeze in a walk or play session between calls, and actually be present in a way a 9-5 sitter can't. Weekends, I'm completely free and fully focused on them. I do house sitting out of your home, which means your pet stays in their own environment, their own routine, and their own space, no adjustment period, no stress. I travel light and show up with everything I need, so your home stays exactly as you left it. Your pet gets my full attention for the entire stay. I'm a homebody when I'm on a sit, I'm not rushing out or leaving them for long stretches. Your pet stays comfortable, calm, and well-loved the whole time you're away.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - El Modena
Paige took great care of our 2 boxers in our home. They are older but still playful, not great with other dogs, especially on the leash. They had no issues and were kept safe and happy. She took great care of the house and gave us updates and photos. Thanks for making our trip so much easier.
Vy is the best! She is extremely thoughtful, thorough, and I can tell she really cares about my pet, she is my go to for any of my dog sitting needs. From meeting her to the end of her stay at my house, she kept me updated with photos and how my dog was doing. This was my first time hiring a sitter instead of boarding and I’m super thankful it was with Vy!
5 Paws!!!!! (stars;) If we could give more than five stars, we absolutely would! From the moment we left, we knew our three dogs and our home were in the very best hands. They sent frequent updates and adorable pictures that made us smile and gave us complete peace of mind. They were always quick to respond, incredibly thoughtful, and treated our dogs like they were their own. It was obvious how much love, attention, and care they gave them. When we came home, our dogs were happy, relaxed, and clearly well loved. That says everything. Finding people you trust enough to stay in your home and care for your pets is priceless, and we feel so lucky to have found them. We truly hope they'll be available every time for us because we wouldn't hesitate for a second to invite them back. We recommend them with complete confidence to anyone looking for caring, trustworthy, dependable, and genuinely wonderful pet sitters. Thank you for taking such incredible care of our home and our furry family!
Alicia was highly recommended from a friend and we were happy to find she had availability when we needed help! Alicia is wonderful with our 2 labs. This is her second time with them and it means so much to know we are leaving our babies in trusted hands. We love the multi-daily pics and updates. Thank you Alicia!
All I can say is WE LOVE SARAH ! She is an amazing pet and house sitter ! She sent us photos several times a day and kept us updated ! Our house was spotless when we got home too !! Totally reliable, responsible, and trustworthy ! The sweetest gal ! Will have her back for sure ! Thank you Sarah !!!!!!!
Allessandra was awesome! She came in clutch for me last minute and was amazing with the house and dogs. She sent pictures, updates, and was super communicative. She followed directions perfectly and left the house clean, which is the best to come home to. Would definitely rebook again!

FAQs for House Sitting - El Modena
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in El Modena on Rover is $42.18 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 7,917 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across El Modena. 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 Modena 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 Modena 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 Modena 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 Modena. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
