About: I grew up taking care of a pitbull and have loved dogs ever since. She was the most well-behaved, kind dog and inspired me to foster pitbulls in college. I was always the person that dogs and cats were drawn to, dubbed the "animal whisperer" by my friends. Now, I petsit all kinds of animals and love spending time playing or taking them on walks. I have experience with dogs of all ages and sizes. Caring for dogs fits into my daily routine, and I will love your pet like my own. I currently work part time remotely on a schedule I can choose (with the exception of Tuesdays). So, I'm able to structure my day around animal care: going on walks, potty breaks, and playtime. I go above and beyond to provide great care because I truly love dogs! I have a fenced front yard with plenty of grass and area to play, including a bunch of dog toys. I also have a fenced backyard with a pool, a grassy area, and a dog door, though I will block the dog door if your animal is not comfortable around a pool. I offer pretty much every service, including overnights at my home. They will be welcome to roam the house and sit on furniture, unless you specifically request not. I completely understand if that is not a habit you want your dog to have and will adjust to your instructions!
“Abigail is such an incredible housesitter! My dog is very particular with who she likes, and she took to liking Abigail right away. Usually, when we leave on a trip, my dog loses her appetite, which is really bad, because that is how we administer her medication. Abigail had no problem giving her all of her medication three times per day while also giving her a lot of walks throughout the day as well. On top of that, for some reason, I packed my dog’s leash and harness in my luggage by accident. So Abigail went out of her way and bought her a harness and also a tool to help crush her medications. She also provided us photo updates throughout our trip as well, which put us at ease. Thank you, Abigail, for everything!”
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.
“Laura always does the most incredible job taking care of our cats. She keeps us updated, looks after them and the house, and truly loves them. We know we can always trust her!”
About: I know that leaving your pet with someone new can be stressful- that's why my goal is to leave you with a peace of mind knowing I'm treating your pet like a part of my own family, learning their personality and making sure their individual needs are met. I'm available on weekends, and throughout the week in the mornings and evenings. Services I currently offer- 30+ min walks: taking a stroll around your neighborhood or a nearby path to give your pet the exercise they need 30 min drop ins: potty breaks, play time, and activities to keep your puppy happy while you're away House sitting: Making sure your pet feels more comfortable during the night while you're away. This can include weekends, for up to 4 nights, subject to availability. If you need a time that is not on my calendar, message me! There's a chance I may have time slots open! I have a fully fenced yard, with plenty of space for your pet to run around and get some exercise. I can absolutely go to your home and play indoors or outdoors, and making sure they are safe and taken care of.
“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: I've been a dog owner my entire life. I love all animals and I am so happy to play and love your pet like it's my own! I’ve grown up with dogs ever since I can remember, my German shepherd mix as a child, 2 labradors and I had a wonderful sweet Shiba Inu named lady who passed a couple years ago from chronic kidney failure. So I have a range of caring for all ages of dogs. I have 10 years of experience with training and obedience. I'll make sure they get out their pent up energy and you will come home to a happy pup! I will pay close attention to your pet and make sure they are safe at all times. If they have special needs I am more than happy to take care of that as well. I'm enthusiastic and care very much for all animals. Thank you for the opportunity to take care of a part of your family! I have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for walks, drop in visits, and quality time with your pets throughout the week. I’m especially available during weekday mornings and afternoons, and I can often accommodate evenings with advance notice. I enjoy staying active, so regular walks fit naturally into my routine, and I’m happy to work with pet parents who need dependable, recurring care. I always treat every pet like they’re my own and make their safety, comfort, and routine my priority. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal schedule, feeding instructions, medications, crate routine, and any house rules you have. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.
“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.”
“Kirsten is a godsend! She handled my 2 needy dogs and 4 cats without any problem! I felt totally relaxed knowing my babies were well taken care of ! I highly recommend her 😊”
About: Dogs have always been a part of my life. I've cared for my own dogs from playful puppies to their senior years, giving them love, structure and companionship every day.

I'll treat your dog with the same patience, kindness and attention I'd expect for my own, providing a safe, comfortable and loving home while you're away. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive care throughout the day to supervise, provide companionship, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of attention. Your dog's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I believe every pet deserves patience, kindness, and individualized care. I'll follow your dog's routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special instructions. I provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away, and I'll treat your dog like a member of our own family.
“We hired Jasmine to house/pet sit while we were out of town. She took excellent care of our dogs and cat. She is very reliable and attentive, providing consistent communication with photos and video updates. She even went above and beyond by sweeping our floors! Our dogs are very high energy and Jasmine provided them with more than enough playtime. She clearly loves animals! Our dogs were well cared for and happy they got to have her very cute dogs as playmates! I feel she is someone we can trust with our animals and we already hired her for our next vacation. Thank you so much, Jasmine!!”

About: I’ve house-sat for multiple dog owners over my life and have experience caring for dogs with different personalities and routines. I genuinely love spending time with dogs, and I’ve yet to meet one I couldn’t make a friend out of. Whether it’s house sitting, dog walking, or just stopping in for a quick visit, I’ll make sure your pup gets plenty of attention and care while you’re away. I work from home, so I’m around throughout the day and have plenty of flexibility to care for your pup. I have two dogs of my own that I walk daily, play with, and spend plenty of time with, so caring for dogs is already a big part of my everyday routine. I treat every dog like I would my own and always make sure they’re comfortable, safe, and getting plenty of attention. I’m happy to follow your dog’s normal routine, including walks, feeding schedules, playtime, medications, or any other specific instructions. When caring for pets in your home, I’m also respectful of your space and make sure everything is kept secure and tidy.
“Holly has been absolutely amazing! She works with me on short notice leaves and bruxie always is in a great mood when I return. Holly always sends great pictures and frequent updates. I highly recommend.”
About: I have always loved dogs and have experience caring for my own French Bulldog, Milo, back home. Being a dog owner has taught me how important it is to be patient, attentive, and loving with every dog. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, giving lots of attention, and making sure dogs feel safe and cared for. Since I’m currently away at college, I really miss having my dog around and would love the opportunity to spend time with and care for other dogs. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I will always do my best to follow your instructions and treat your dog like they are my own. I’m responsible, dependable, and would love to give your pup plenty of love, attention, and care while you’re away! As a college student, my schedule gives me plenty of flexibility to care for your pets throughout the week! On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, I have class from 11:00 AM–12:50 PM, and on Mondays and Wednesdays I also have class from 5:30–6:45 PM. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, I have class from 11:30 AM–12:45 PM. Outside of these class times, I am generally available in the mornings, afternoons, and evenings for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that fits your dog’s routine and needs! At home, I help take care of my French Bulldog, Milo. I take him on walks, feed him, play with him, and make sure he gets lots of love and attention. I really enjoy spending time with him and making sure he is happy and comfortable.
About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover with a soft spot for both dogs and cats of all personalities. With years of experience caring for pets (including my own chic, sassy tortie), I know how important it is to find someone you can trust. Whether it’s boarding, drop-in visits, or just some quality cuddle time, I’m here to make sure your furry friend feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet your pet! I am currently in between jobs so my schedule is very flexible. Im able to take walks throughout the day and adjust to different schedules. I live in a gated apartment complex with lots of grassy areas and sidewalks for break time. There are lots of other small dogs and cats in my complex who are friendly as well.
“Josie was wonderful! She was respectful of our home, very clean, and took great care of our dogs. They seemed really happy and comfortable with her, and communication throughout the stay was easy and consistent. We really appreciated how responsible and considerate she was, and we would absolutely have Josie stay with our dogs again!”

Alisha is our go to person for dog sitting our senior pups. She is very conscientious and sends frequent updates on how they are doing. She spends lots of time with the dogs, makes sure they use the bathroom regularly, and handles their food and medicine needs. We so appreciate her services!
We are so glad that we booked Gabby to watch our dog and cat! We arranged a meet up before the scheduled days so our pets could be familiar with her and they immediately trusted her. Our Cat who usually strays from strangers felt comfortable coming out and meeting her! During her stay Gabby sent picture and video updates of our pets regularly. We would definitely recommend her to anyone who is considering a sitter!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Last-Minute Lifesaver—Incredible Flexibility and Care! I cannot thank Abigail enough for completely saving the day! Due to a scheduling mistake on my part, I found myself in a desperate situation, needing a house and pet sitter to cover a one-day gap before we returned home. Abigail stepped up at the absolute last minute with zero hesitation. Not only was she willing to take on a short-notice, single-day job, but she also went out of her way to coordinate directly with our outgoing sitter. She arrived early to do a face-to-face handoff, quickly got up to speed on our pets' routines, and took over seamlessly. Her flexibility, responsiveness, and absolute professionalism completely put my mind at ease during a very stressful moment. Our pets were beautifully cared for, and we returned to a safe home and very happy animals. To find someone this trustworthy and accommodating on such short notice is rare, and we are incredibly grateful for her help!
Sarah is an amazing dog/cat sitter! From beginning to end she was amazing at communicating, attentive to every detail, and very thorough. She made sure to send lots of pictures and updates along the way :) would definitely recommend Sarah to my family and friends!
Mia was great with my dog and three cats. She sent updates often which included photos of everyone looking happy and healthy! Having Mia at my house while I was away gave me peace of mind that everyone was safe and well cared for. My pets have some particulars about feeding and who gets along with who and she was very attentive and responsive to their needs. I highly recommend her if you’re looking for someone to look after your furry friends!
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!
Malena was fantastic with our 3 large dogs, one being a puppy. She stayed in close contact with us with plenty of updates and the pups loved her. All of our dogs have very different personalities and she did great with all of them. Our request was very last minute and she was able to accommodate everything we needed. We highly recommend her and will absolutely use her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in El Modena is $42 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $23 and $74 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 7,819 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
