“Will is phenomenal. This was my first time using Rover and Will made it very easy for me to understand and navigate through the app and service. He is a high communicator before and during his time with my pet. I never worried once about the care of my pet while I was away. Highly recommend Will for future care and service.”
“David was awesome, came over for a familiarity visit before booking since my K9 is very protective. I wanted to make sure he could handle our dog and also perform special care instructions for our other dog which had just had surgery. David exceeded our expectations and I would definitely book him again. He's very friendly and was accommodating to our needs. Thank for the excellent service and attention provided. Our dogs were very happy with him.”
“Stella did a great job. Harley was walked 2-3 x a day. He really was Happy to see her when the key was dropped off. The house was left spotless. We would definitely use Stella again to watch Harley and our house.”
“Anika took such great care of our pup! She updated us every day and when we returned our place was spotless and our dog was so happy!!! AND she helped us out over the Christmas holiday - it's not easy to find someone so wonderful at this time of year. Highly recommend!!!!”
“Samantha always takes good care of Jax. He’s getting a little older now and sometimes has little accidents. She just takes care of it and doesn’t even let him get embarrassed lol he’s warming up to her with a little bit of head butts and he’s always eager for treats. Love all the updates per usual and thank you for loving on Jax while I’m gone.”
“Laura kept the Boyz happy and entertained…just what we wanted. We were only gone for one day and night and she sent pictures of the Boyz cuddling with her and the all important feeding time! Thanks for being a great temp Mom to my Boyz!”
“I highly recommend Alison to care for a family's pets. My wife, children and I were taking a vacation, and we were very concerned about entrusting our pet's safety and care with a stranger. A couple of weeks prior to our departure, we met with Alison for the first time. I immediately felt that Alison would provide great care for our three dogs who range from 35 lbs. to a 115 lbs. German Shepherd. A few days prior to our departure, Alison contacted us to confirm our departure time. On the morning of our departure, Alison arrived at our home promptly and we reviewed the dog's care and feeding schedule. Our departure went very smoothly. During our trip, Alison sent us daily texts, pictures and videos of our happy, well cared for dogs confirming Alison's great care for our dog's and our home. I strongly recommend Alison to care for your pets and your home.”
“Maureen stayed with our dogs in our home while we were out on vacation. She checked in with us every day and was so attentive to our girls! I just know they were so loved while we were gone!! 10/10 recommend Maureen, and will be booking with her again in the future if she’s available!”
“We really appreciated Katelyn’s stay in our home to care for our two new kittens for the weekend. She sent us updates and the kittens were safe and sound when we returned. She even fed our fish. We would love to book her help again!”
“Viktoriia is so lovely and took wonderful care of my very energetic husky girl. I came home to a happy pup, and she didn't want Viktoriia to leave! Highly recommend her, she will make sure your baby has everything they need and is well fulfilled with exercise & love. We look forward to having her back soon!”
“Kirstin was very reliable and easily reachable. She let us know her schedule and took excellent care of our home, pets and plants! We will for sure continue to book with her.”
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was little! At one point my family had 4 dogs, a bird, a tortoise, and a frog. Now we’re down to two dogs and two cats in the family and I hold them near and dear. I will love your animal like my own:) I’m currently working part time on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays typically from the early morning to early afternoon. I can provide bathrooms breaks and walks for your pets and I’m open to house sitting as well! I cannot take any pets into my own home but I will care for your pets in yours with any extra love and attention they may need.
“Xiaochang was AMAZING. We went on a road trip for about 10 days and i was never worried about my pets because she was constantly updating me! She sent photo updates every day, twice a day. You could really tell she cared for my pets. She even reached out to me about my sneezy cat because she was worried she made him sick! But he just has allergies lol. I felt at ease the entire time she was watching my dog and cat. I would 10/10 definitely book her again for any kind of service because i know she would treat my pets like they were her own!”

“Amanda was absolutely wonderful with my two Goldendoodles. She was so sweet, attentive, and communicative throughout my entire trip, sending me tons of pictures and updates that gave me so much peace of mind. She even happened to be watching the boys on their birthday and went out of her way to make it special by treating them to pup cups and sending me the sweetest video of her singing happy birthday to them! She was also incredibly accommodating and stayed late on the last night until I got home from my flight. I highly recommend Amanda to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter.”
“Alla took such great care of my baby Theo and my place. Highly recommend for anyone that’s looking for a reliable dog sitter and especially if house sitting. Thank you so much”
About: I have 8+ years of pet sitting experience, in addition to caring for my dachshund from ages 2 to 14. Since her passing last year, we have a pet-free home and backyard suitable for hosting dogs and cats and a lot of love and attention to give. Our dog was also VERY food motivated and would try to eat anything vaguely edible in the house. Because of this, we are still in the habit of keeping all foods out of pet-reach, including in the kitchen, purses/bags, and trash cans. I am currently job-seeking, which can be done from any location and allows me to have a completely flexible schedule, all days and hours of the week. Additionally, I live with my pet-loving parents, who both work from home. This means that there’s rarely an occasion where your pup will be left by themself! I have a 2 story pet-free home with a fenced in backyard with grass. We have dog beds, dog stairs for the couch, and a small crate available. I only host 1 client at a time in my home (1 or 2 dogs from the same household). This means your pets will get my full attention, and there won’t be any issues with reactive dogs.

David was awesome taking care of Stormi! He kept me updated with lots of pictures, which I really appreciated. He was also super patient and understanding with some of the apartment instructions. It gave me peace of mind knowing Stormi was in good hands. I would definitely recommend David and wouldn’t hesitate to book with him again!
Donna is so sweet and kind. We are so thankful to have found her. She was wonderful with our dog and I did not feel worried at all while she was in her care. She stayed over at our apartment and cared for her while we were away. We got plenty of updates and photos which we love. We have already booked a 2nd overnight stay with her. I’m sure our dog is counting the days until her next visit!
This was our first experience with in home sitting. Joshua came to our home for an initial meet and greet and again before our trip to go over feeding, meds and a normal walk for my 2 Yorkie’s. Our girls easily connected to him, he sent daily updates and was very clean in our home. I definitely plan to book with him again in the future. I very much appreciate his overall communication.
This was our first time trying house sitting with our anxious dog and Stella did great! Our dog liked her right away! She was calm and reassuring. She showed up on time, followed instructions, and gave us updates on our dog. Because she was there to soothe and comfort him, our dog was able to relax while we were away.
Hailey was a fantastic fit for our babies! We booked a house sit for our wedding weekend, and it was such a relief knowing our pets and home were in good hands. Hailey was a great communicator and kept us updated with daily pictures and updates of our babies, which I really appreciated! Our dog was having some tummy/bathroom troubles while we were away, and Hailey took care of giving her the extra care and attention she needed to feel better. Thanks to Hailey’s excellent care, we were able to fully enjoy our wedding weekend without worrying about our pets and would happily book again! Thank you Hailey!
Samantha always takes good care of Jax. He’s getting a little older now and sometimes has little accidents. She just takes care of it and doesn’t even let him get embarrassed lol he’s warming up to her with a little bit of head butts and he’s always eager for treats. Love all the updates per usual and thank you for loving on Jax while I’m gone.

Saeedeh was amazing! We left our pup, Huxley with her, and he had such a great time. She provided many updates, pictures and videos which helped us feel at ease as he can be a sensitive guy. She even hand fed him when his nerves prevented him from eating the first day after we left. I can tell he got a ton of playtime and love in bc he's passed out and exhausted from his stay which is a great sign. Highly recommended!
We are so grateful to have Rebecca watch our dogs! She was willing to be flexible and hop in to take care of our pups on extremely short notice when we had to rush to the hospital for our baby girls arrival. Our pups were well taken care for which brought so much peace of mind to both my husband and I!
Our dog Sonny had another great experience with Bradey. We were gone for quite a long trip and felt comfortable our pup was well taken care of. Several of our neighbors even went out of their way to tell us they noticed Bradey constantly out on walks and giving Sonny lots of love.
Camille is my #1 go to for in-home care for our senior dog when we're traveling. She loves him like her own, carefully follows instructions and is very respectful of him, us and our home. And that he absolutely ADORES her, has fun, gets all the love he wants, AND experiences minimal stress and separation anxiety, is exactly what we hope for for him. That her communication is also top notch throughout the experience helps tremendously and provides much peace and comfort for us when traveling. I can't say enough positive things about Camille!
Maya was wonderful! She stayed at our home for a few nights to take care of our two dogs and our cat, and we couldn't be happier. All of our animals were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for when we got home. She also left our house exactly as we left it, which we really appreciated. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our pets and home were in such good hands while we were away. We're so happy we found Maya and would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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 Toro 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 Toro 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Toro 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
