“Junny is a professional who takes notes on how to work with your pets. We have two large unneutered male dogs, and Junny took extra time to ensure our training continued, giving our dogs the consistency they need. He is great with his communication and sends wonderful photos that are frame worthy. He left our home clean and our pets happy. I would highly recommend Junny and Jomhel to sit your pets.”
About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover, experienced caregiver, and admittedly a bit of a crazy critter lady! I grew up on a ranch, where caring for animals was part of everyday life, and I’ve never really stopped! These days, our family includes 6 dogs, 3 cats, chickens, and an entire pet room dedicated to a variety of pets. If it walks, crawls, slithers, hops, or flies, chances are I adore it! I have a particularly soft spot for animals who need a little extra patience and understanding. Of our six dogs, two are seniors, one is blind, and another has behavioral challenges. I’ve completed dog training courses with my own dogs and am comfortable working with different temperaments, sensitivities, and behavioral quirks. We also have a semi-feral pet cat and I feel comfortable working with shy or potentially reactive cats. I know that every animal communicates differently, and building trust is always my first priority. Whether your best friend is energetic, a sweet senior, timid, or has special needs, I believe in meeting animals where they are and tailoring my care to their individual needs. My goal is simple: to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, understood, and loved while you’re away. Pet care is already a big part of my everyday life, so incorporating additional friends into my routine comes naturally! I strive to be flexible and adaptable, and I’m happy to work with pet parents to accommodate different schedules, routines, and individual needs. Before confirming any booking, I love to chat about expectations, special requests, and scheduling details to make sure we’re all on the same page. My goal is to provide reliable, personalized care that fits your pet’s needs while giving you peace of mind! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities! I believe every animal deserves individualized care, patience, and respect for their unique personality, routines, and boundaries. When caring for pets in their own homes, I do my best to maintain their normal routines and environment to minimize stress. I’m attentive to body language, behavioral cues, and potential safety concerns, especially with senior pets, animals with disabilities, and those who may need a little extra patience or reassurance. I’m happy to accommodate specific feeding schedules, medications, exercise routines, enrichment activities, and other special care instructions. I also believe communication is key! I’ll provide updates and photos so you can feel confident that your companions are in good hands. Before any booking, I welcome a meet-and-greet to discuss your pet’s needs, household expectations, and any important safety considerations. My goal is to build trust with both you and your pets while providing dependable, compassionate care! 💚

“Rebekah did an excellent job caring for my dog at my house while I was away. She kept me updated with pictures every evening. There was good communication thru the whole process. I have already booked her again for an upcoming house sitting. Highly recommend!”
“Stella was delightful. I received frequent updates with photos. Fred can be a handful, but he's a good dog. Stella also walked Fred and administered medication. I would recommend and will book again.”
About: Hello! My name is Haley Rodden and I’m an experienced house/pet sitter and dog walker. My partner Brandon and I can board dogs and cats at our beautiful home with a fenced backyard. I can also do check ins, walks, or spend the night. I have experience with dogs, cats, chickens, and fish and love animals! I would be happy to provide references. I’m currently an assistant teacher at Glen Paul from 8:30 to 3. I have lots of breaks throughout the year though and will give your pet all the attention it needs before and after work. Whatever service I am providing I will treat your pet like family and spoil them as much as possible! I want them to be happy and comfortable.
“Zalie is the BEST! She is so sweet and so professional. We have other animals other than dogs (turkeys, chicken, etc.) and she did a great job of caring for everyone! She sent us pictures regularly of everyone having a great time and let us know right away if there were any issues. 10/10 recommend and would love to use her for future bookings!!”
“Melissa went above and beyond for us in her overnight stay! It was our first night away from our fairly new dog, but we could actually relax knowing she was in such good hands. She even worked on training and cleaned up a couple messes. Melissa really knows what she's talking about, and was very caring with our animals. We will definitely be returning for services in the future!”
“Jolie is a gem...she is so intuitive about the dogs and they bond immediately when she returns to us. She is also very patient with their stresses, as we are currently in temporary housing, so they are not behaving perfectly. Nevertheless she corrects them lovingly and with empathy.”
“Lucinda was kind and loving with our cat and small dog. She followed care instructions for them great and sent pictures. She was flexible with her schedule and a kind person. trustworthy pet sitter! would book again.”
“Leigh was absolutely wonderful and I am very confident in recommending her to take care of your furry family members. I recently moved to the area and was very stressed out about finding a new dog sitter. It’s quite a leap of faith to invite someone you don’t know to stay in your home with your pets for the first time. Leigh was very attentive to both of my pups and kept me updated on how they were doing. She also very last minute stayed over an extra night when my flight home got cancelled and still checked in on them the next afternoon when flight delays continuously kept me from getting home. I am very grateful that I found Leigh!”
“Tyler watched our two Beagles for the day - I have only great things to say and highly recommend his service! He was very accommodating, professional, and responsible. Tyler took the extra time to understand their needs and was actively responsive to our check ins during the stay for peace of mind :) Additionally, he took great care of the house in terms of cleaning up after himself and the dogs. Thank you so much again, Tyler. 10/10 would hire again. Our little family appreciates you! ❤️”
“Mark was super helpful when we contacted him for same day help when my mom ended up having to spend the night in the hospital. He was helpful, professional, and super nice. He was great with Mom’s pets. Thank you, Mark!”
About: I’ve taken care of 2 dogs the past 5+ years. One of them is mine he is an easy going Boston Terrier, he loves playing fetch and walks. The other is a family friend’s dog, she is a Doberman who has had a lot of medical issues. That means a strict medication schedule to adhere to and temper issues. Nonetheless she’s a joy to take care of! I have also taken care of rats, they are a lot of fun. Then off and on i’ve taken care of cats, doing the usual litter box cleaning and feeding. I go to a local community college but it being summertime makes pet care very easy to fit into my already lax schedule. My life isn’t very hectic so i’m flexible with anything! I do live with roommates who are allergic to cats and dogs so sadly I can’t bring fur babies to my home. On the bright side I have a car so I have zero issue driving to a clients’ home in order to take care of their pets!
About: I've been with animals all my life. Grew up with dogs and trained my own since I was young. I've been pet sitting since I was 14. I can groom, walk, train, feed and house sit. I have a part time job on M, W, & F from 8-12 in the morning. I work a part time job during half of the week. My availability is off by an hour than what the app says. I ride a bike so walks or day to day pet sitting works best. I have a fenced yard in a house. I'm dedicated to going over treatment lists with owners and overviews of what happens under my care. I make sure to keep in contact with you, the owner, in case of emergencies.
“Adrien did a great job for us today! She worked with our 3 month old puppy. He was as happy as ever when we got home. She also offered us tips and suggestions for puppy training that we appreciated. Definitely would recommend her!!”
About: I am a long time animal lover and have been working in pet care for over 25 years professionally. I have ample experience with dog walking and overnight pet sitting. I ran my own dog walking business as a sole proprietor for many years, and also have worked as an independent contractor for other dog walking & pet sitting companies. In the past, I've cared for many different animals of varying ages and breeds; from puppies and kittens to seniors. I have plenty of experience administering medication for animals who need it, whether it be ear/eye drops, pills, and insulin injections. I also have experience caring for small and furry (rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs) as well as scaly (fish, snakes, turtles). I'm responsible, caring, and punctual, and I genuinely care about providing great service to you and your pet. I am looking forward to meeting your furry (or scaly) friend! My schedule is fairly flexible and I will accept bookings Mon-Sun from 8am to 5pm. I prefer to do an free consultation with your dog before you book your first walk. I do appreciate advance bookings, but will do my best to fit you in! Your pet is a member of your family, so it is important to me that your pal feels loved and cared for while you are away. I travel to you and I am not currently available for boarding in my home.

Ember is excellent as a house and pet sitter. She was very respectful of my home, and my cat Cassie just loved her. She really took a lot of worry off my shoulders while I was travelling. I highly recommend her services, and I will hire her again for future travel.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Eureka is $50 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $67 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 159 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Eureka. 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 Eureka 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 Eureka 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 Eureka 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Eureka. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% 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.
