“Edith house sat for my dog and two cats, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. From the moment we first spoke, she was professional, friendly, and genuinely caring about the well-being of my animals. She kept me updated with regular pictures and messages, which really put my mind at ease. She took the time to get to know my pets’ individual needs and routines, making sure everyone kept their schedule and got to enjoy playtime. It was clear that my pets were in loving hands, as they seemed happy and content when I returned. She took very good care of our home as well and kept it so clean. I highly recommend Edith to anyone looking for a reliable, responsible, and compassionate pet sitter. She went above and beyond to ensure my pets were happy and safe, and I will definitely be booking with her again!”

“Laurie Beth is simply amazing! I have two vocal beagles, one of which has severe anxiety and is epileptic. This dog is very slow to warm up to people. It took a bit but Laurie Beth got her to come around and even got kisses! I was stunned. Laurie was very punctual and sent videos and pictures. She treated my babies and our home like they were her own. Going out of town is now much easier. She will be sitting for us in the future”

“Felipe took wonderful care of my 2 dogs and 2 cats. The dogs got in a scuffle a day before we left and we were nervous to leave them with someone new. Felipe put us at ease and did a great job with them! He is a great communicator and sent us helpful updates and pictures/videos. He even walked the dogs separately just to be safe and spent a good chunk of time with them. Our shy cats even befriended him 😊”

About: Hi, I'm Chelsea! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always come first with me. ❤️ I know how hard it can be to trust someone else with your pets, and I want you to feel completely at ease knowing they’re with someone who will genuinely care for them like they’re my own. Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve grown up with dogs and cats and currently have animals of my own, including dogs, cats, rats, and reptiles. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do for work, it’s something I truly love. I understand that no two pets are the same. Some want all the cuddles and attention, while others need patience and time to feel comfortable. I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine, respect their boundaries, and take the time to learn their personality and what makes them feel safe. I’m comfortable with dogs of all different sizes, including large and strong breeds, and I understand how important it is to stay attentive and responsible on walks. Trust is also very important to me. I’ve worked with the same professional cleaning company for about 10 years, so I’m regularly trusted inside clients’ homes and understand the responsibility that comes with that. You can expect plenty of communication, photos, and updates while your pet is with me. I want you to be able to enjoy your time away without constantly wondering if your pet is okay. Whether I’m stopping by for a visit, taking your dog for a walk, or caring for your pets while you’re away, they’ll receive the same love, patience, attention, and care I would want someone to give my own. Because to me, they’re never “just a pet.” They’re family. 🐾 I work part time and have a very flexible schedule to help with yours and your pets needs,most of the weekends im available as well! Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priority. I follow your care instructions carefully, provide plenty of love and attention, keep a clean and secure environment, and treat every pet as if they were my own. I also send regular photo updates for peace of mind.

About: I love pets and have my own that I adore having around. I treat every dog like a member of my family. I'm home throughout the day and genuinely enjoy having a dog by my side to care for—it gives my days a sense of purpose. I believe dogs are a lot like children: they need time, attention, and affection. I've cared for my own dog as well as those of friends and family, and I'd love to give yours the same devoted attention. Im currently working part time and go to school on select days. I’m also available weekends. Communicate with my and we can make special arrangements when necessary. My dogs are indoor dogs and honestly pretty spoiled—the heater or AC is on whenever it's needed to keep them comfortable. I don't mind them being up on the couch or sitting right next to me. Our yard is fully fenced all the way around, and I make sure they get frequent potty breaks throughout the day. If I'm doing a house visit at your home, I do the same: I follow your pup's routine and make sure they're safe, comfortable, and well cared for the whole time.

About: I've been a proud pet parent for the past 10 years! I’ve had the joy of caring for a senior dog, and I’m currently lucky enough to share life with my buddy, Buddy. Since he can be a little anxious around new people, kids, and big dogs, he’s taught me to pay keen attention to his body language, respecting his boundaries, and the importance of creating a calm, safe space where he feels comfortable and happy. I know every pet has their own quirks and style of communication, and it is a top priority for me to understand your pet's individual self. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply a calm companion, I'll make sure to give them what they need ◡̈ I understand how hard it can be to leave your furry family member behind, and my goal is to make both you and your pet feel comfortable! I'm currently in nursing school, so when I'm not in class, a big part of my time is dedicated to studying and working. I love spending my free time with animals, and I'd be happy to care for your pup on weekends and select weekdays. I keep my availability up to date so you can always see when I'm available to help! I've been an animal lover my entire life, and caring for my own dog, Buddy, has taught me how to recognize and respond to a dog's unique personality and needs. Every pet communicates differently, and I take the time to learn what makes yours feel comfortable, safe, and happy. Whether it's a walk, drop-in visit, or overnight stay, you can count on me to provide plenty of exercise, fresh water, meals on schedule, playtime, and lots of love and attention. I'll treat your pet like one of my own and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away. ◡̈
“I am really grateful to have found Juri to watch our 3 dogs. I know 3 dogs can be a lot to handle, especially with one senior dog that is on a special diet and medication, but she was on top of it! She was in communication with me during the entirely of the stay which made me feel very at ease. I wouldn't hesitate to ask her to watch our pups again in the future.”
About: I've had dogs of my own, and helped take care of my neighbors whenever I can. I have also rescued and re-homed 🐶 Being a past pet parent has taught me patience and the loving bond of unconditional love a dog generously provides. I currently work full time but have time to drop by feed, walk and provide care for your fur babies. My schedule is flexible, and I am available anytime weekends. In the past when I have cared for my own dogs, I make sure safety is paramount and fresh water/food is always provided. Leash as needed.
About: I’ve grew up w/ 2 little chihuahuas Brownie & Cookie which i’ve taken care of since I was 14! As I grew older, i adopted another doggie, Nala, who is now living in Doggie heaven since 2022. I enjoy Cats & Dogs in my space they’re great companions and I love their different personalities. After taking animal behavior during my undergraduate I’ve been intrigued with the behavior of pets more and more! I would love to get to know you and your companion!! I’m pretty free and home majority of the time, I am an entrepreneur so this is what I do. I hope I can sit your furry friend. I have a small minimalistic 1 bedroom home. Honestly, there isn’t too much for your pets to get into AND i do have a few pet toys if your companion likes to play

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs my whole life. I can help your puppy be the best version of themselves; I can take great care of your senior dog too. I’m a pro At popping pills in their mouth or giving supplements to any kind of oral medication. I’m currently a stay at home dog auntie so if you need me I’ll be there. Me and Louise go for coffee and other short walks throughout the day, so it will be nice to have someone to take along for the ride or for Louise to play with. I have a fenced yard and two extra crates under our covered patio so there’s that. I can also run your fur child for a coffee/potty break if that’s what they need. Whatever they or you need I’m there. Currently I’m not working so I provide a constant care environment for your pets. It is always a pleasure for us (Louise and I) to have a new pup over. I have a fully fenced backyard and I love to have your pups over. I hang out under the covered patio all day with them. That’s what my house is like. Especially because we have an unfenced pool and it’s only happened once but it did happen; one pup fell in and had to be rescued, I jumped in and got him out. No big deal.
“Carol did a great job for us this weekend-it was a first time for both of us. She stayed at our home and took great care of our senior dog…including giving daily meds and handling a very challenging situation during a walk when he was attacked by a loose dog. She brought in the mail and packages. She shared photos daily and stayed in touch as needed. I was impressed with her timeliness and reliability. She will be at the top of our list for future stays with Charlie.”


About: Hi!! I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my whole life. My grandmother also owned a couple of birds when I was little which I always found beautiful. I currently have 2 cats, Love and Willow. I am also taking care of my mother’s dog, Chokos. I love going on walks around the area and the park. I also enjoy hiking when I can. I have a spacious backyard for pets to run around and play. I also have a spacious house for pets to explore and rest! 💗 I am working on launching my own holistic business. Other than that I am home frequently with a bunch of time to take care of pets. ✨ I provide every service rover offers. I am free any day at anytime. !! Let me know of any specifications for your baby :) I’d be very happy to look after your pet 💞 I have a spacious backyard, it is very green. So, doggies will have lots of space to run around. I do have a small dog in the back to keep company of any doggies :) I have two friendly loving kitties. Kitties are kept inside but also roam outside. If your babies don’t get along with other animals please let me know and I will get family to sit my babies. Feel free to contact me with any questions or requests 💖🌱

“We had a last minute event and she came through! We highly recommend. Great communication quick response, and punctual. We have a Great Dane Mastiff and an 14yo boxer who can be very needy in their own ways. She sent updates of potty breaks, meals and asked all the important questions. We will definitely request her again. Thank you for taking care of our babies!”


About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all kinds for over 20 years, starting when I was young. Friends, family, and neighbors have always trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and love their pets like my own. Over the years, I’ve gained experience with puppies, high-energy dogs, and more calm or senior dogs who need extra patience and gentle care. I’m very attentive to each pet’s personality and unique needs—whether that means lots of playtime, cozy cuddles, or sticking to a structured routine. I truly enjoy building a bond with every pet I care for and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy in my presence. I know how important it is to trust someone with your fur baby, and I don’t take that lightly. I’ll treat your pet with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. I’m also happy to provide updates, photos, and communication while you’re away so you can feel completely at ease knowing your pet is in good hands. My goal is to create a calm, loving, and reliable environment where your pet feels cared for, secure, and genuinely happy until you return 🤍🐾 I work early mornings, which allows me to have consistent availability in the late afternoons and evenings. I’m available for check-ins, walks, and quality time after my shifts, and I can also accommodate weekend care. I’m reliable, punctual, and committed to making sure your pet’s routine stays consistent. I prioritize safety, comfort, and trust in every home I care for. I always follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, walk times, and any specific instructions provided. I make sure pets are secure at all times, whether that means properly leashing during walks or ensuring doors and gates are closed. In your home, I’m respectful, clean, and treat your space with care. I provide regular updates, photos, and communication so you feel at ease while you’re away. My goal is to create a calm, safe, and loving environment where your pet feels comfortable and cared for.
“Giselle was great with my dog and kitty 😺 She gave my dog his medicine as instructed and fed him as well. My dog is a picky eater and she was able to get him to eat. Will definitely use her again!”

“This is the third time Casey has watched our 2 dogs and house for us and we couldn’t be happier. Casey is reliable and friendly and very communicative with us while we are away. We know we are in good hands when Casey watches our dogs.”

About: I have had almost every type of animal you can think of. From a cat to a horn worm. I can take care of birds, fish, hamsters, pigs, rats, dogs, cats, guinea pigs, bunnies,chinchillas, chickens, and a lot more. If you have a pet I haven’t taken care of I am willing to learn.i can do anything from cleaning, feeding, bathing, playing, walking or anything else you need me to do. I am not afraid of any type of animal and love all. I am doing this because it’s the one thing I’m good at and don’t want to get a regular job that I really don’t care about. It also helps me spoil my animals like they deserve. I am pretty young but that doesn’t affect how dedicated I am to animals. I currently only work eight hours a week at my retail job. I am a college student full time but a lot of my classes are online so i'm home most of the time. Not only for my own experience, but also from my professional experience, I know that every pet has different needs. That can vary from diet, regular care, medication, walks, ets. Whether I am caring for your pet in my home or yours, I am very serious about following your care instructions provided. The way that I would want someone to care for my own pets is the manner that I care for others pets.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Fontana on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 3,022 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Fontana. 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 Fontana 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 Fontana 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 Fontana 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 Fontana. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
