“Brooke was great! This was the first time I’ve left my dog with someone other than family. I have an anxious dog (and I’m an anxious owner) who’s very slow to warm up to new people. She was very calm and reassuring that everything will be fine. I will definitely use her again.”
“Hannah did a great job taking care of our dog for a few days while we were away! She stayed in our home and left the place super clean and we came home to a happy dog! She communicated with us very well and was very professional! Would love to have her back again to care for our dog on our next trip!”
“McKayla is great. She listened to the instructions I have for my dog which put me at ease. She also took photos and communicated throughout the day. She really cares about your animals and I could tell they were happy. I would definitely recommend her and will have to ask her back!”
“Angelica was amazing! She watched over our dog, Polly, for several days and treated her with such care. Angelica was very communicative and shared lots of photos which we loved. We’d absolutely book with her again in the future!”
“Loghan did a great job taking care of our 16 year old shih tzu. She was very kind and compassionate as well as respectful of our home. We would definitely use her services again in the future.”
“Alex watched my dog overnight at my house while I was on a short work trip. I typically leave Oso with family when I have to go away, and last time I used a different sitter I had a bad experience, so I was hesitant to leave him overnight. But Alex was professional and I knew Oso was in good hands. Came home to a happy dog. Thank you!!”
“Amy did a super job taking care of my two Yorkshire dogs. She sent me pictures each day and let me know how they were doing. I appreciate they were able to stay at home and play each day in their own yard. Amy also brought in my mail and a package that was delivered and let me know it arrived. It was great to have her services so I didn't have any concerns while I was away. I highly recommend her.”
“We really enjoyed having Dana come stay with our dog Lucy. Dana kept us updated and made us feel at ease about everything, and Lucy and he did great together. We have already booked our next time for Dana to come back.”
“When I come home after Hailey has stayed with Rosie, she is so chill and relaxed because she's with a friend and in her environment. It's like I never left -- except the house is super clean and neat! I always hope Hailey is available when I have a trip planned :)”
“Meghan is awesome! She clearly took amazing care not only our pets (a dog and a cat) for the nearly two weeks we were on vacation, but our home was somehow cleaner than when we left! She sent daily updates, let us know if anything was unusual, and was overall an excellent communicator and a delight to chat with! We highly recommend Meghan and will definitely be booking her again the future.”
“I had a last minute cancellation for pet sitting and was able to find Peter whom did a wonderful job at taking care of my dog. He took my dog on nice walking trails and gave me suggestions on caretaking him. Peter is really down to earth and I believe my dog really trusted and enjoyed his company. I am very grateful to Peter and hope he has success in pet sitting in the future!”
“Amy is AMAZING! I have a special needs dog (anxious, fear-biter, doesn't like too many people) so was a bit concerned with having someone visit for outings, let along staying at the home while we were away. Interestingly, we came home a bit early, and Amy was in the backyard with Zoe, who saw us, but kept playing ball with her. It was as if she'd found her new BFF and didn't want the visit to end - smile. We WILL be calling Amy again to care for our critters. She is the best!”
“Kaitlyn pet/house sat for us recently, and we are so grateful for her help. She kept us regularly informed of our babies and was comfortable asking questions. It was wonderful knowing we had someone we could trust taking care of our critters!”
“We absolutely give Stefanie 5 stars without hesitation. She is a great communicator, she handled our high energy dog beautifully and she left the house immaculate. We highly recommend her and will engage her again if needed.”
About: I have extensive experience caring for cats/kittens, dogs/puppies, hamsters, bunnies, fish, chinchillas, ferrets, and more! I have over 5 years of experience as a professional animal care-taker where I cared for all sorts of animals as well as gave advice to customers on individual issues with their pets. My family also owns a farm so I learned a respect for animals at a very young age! Currently I have 2 rambunctious pet ferrets but growing up I had 2 dogs, 2 cats, a bunny, and fish! I have cared for many dogs and puppies in my neighborhood and for family and friends. I love dogs of all sizes and don't mind caring for multiple pets. I am currently a student, so I'll have plenty of time for walks, to play fetch with your energetic puppy, clean up soiled puppy pads, whatever you need! I'm available for housesitting, drop-in visits, and walks. I can take your pups for as many walks as you'd like; I am a very active person who loves walking/hiking! If you have a high-energy dog I can also take them on my daily runs! If your pet is more relaxed, I also love just spending time playing and giving lots of pets.
“Gabrielle was amazing with all 4 of our fur babies while we were away in vacation. She sent daily updates and pictures so communication was great. Not too much and not too little. She was even able to get some love from our highly antisocial kitty. I will definitely be reaching out again when we need her again!! Thank you Again Gabby!”
About: I have grown up taking care of dogs ever since I was born! I am experienced caring for multiple breeds such as energetic boxers, gentle giants, and playful laborers! I am a college student who has plenty of time during the summer/semester to care for your pups! I also have transportation to get to your home! I love to be active, so your fur babies and I will enjoy long walks together, playing fetch in the backyard, or some quality time on the couch together!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Eureka
Amy has been our go-to dog and house sitter for years. She is fantastic! One of our dogs can be a little quirky with new people but he warmed up to Amy right away. On our recent vacay, she took care of our dogs, feeding the fish in our pond, and the stray cat that comes round twice a day for meals. She is the best!
We had a great experience with Daisy. As a first time user of Rover services, we weren’t sure what to expect but Daisy put us as ease right away. She was responsive, punctual, and detailed in her questions. She took good care of our pets and home. Thank you, Daisy!
Hannah did a great job taking care of our dog for a few days while we were away! She stayed in our home and left the place super clean and we came home to a happy dog! She communicated with us very well and was very professional! Would love to have her back again to care for our dog on our next trip!
We are so grateful to have found Mallory to help with our pup! I can’t recommend her enough! She was so wonderful and attentive with our dog and kept us updated the whole time we were away with photos, videos, and messages. We will definitely be booking her again 😊🐶 thank you so much!
McKayla took wonderful care of my dog Ricky and cat Sequoia. She sent lots of great pictures and kept me updated which helped me relax and enjoy my short vacation. I think Ricky fell in love with her! 😍 I am happy to provide a review for this lovely pet sitter. 🐶😺

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Eureka on Rover is $120.36 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 5,657 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 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 Eureka. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% 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.
