About: “Experienced and caring pet caregiver with a strong background in feeding, walking, grooming, and administering basic medications for dogs, cats, and small animals. Skilled at recognizing animal behavior cues, maintaining clean and safe environments, and providing loving companionship to pets while owners are away.” “Experienced and caring pet caregiver with a strong background in feeding, walking, grooming, and administering basic medications for dogs, cats, and small animals. Skilled at recognizing animal behavior cues, maintaining clean and safe environments, and providing loving companionship to pets while owners are away or just need a little extra help .” “Pet care is an integral part of my daily routine. I plan my day around feeding, walking, and engaging with animals to ensure they receive consistent attention and exercise. This routine has strengthened my time-management skills, reliability, and ability to multitask—qualities I bring to every job working with pets.” I provide daily care for my own pets, ensuring they’re well-fed, exercised, groomed, and loved. In addition, I care for other people’s animals both in my home and in theirs, following each owner’s specific routines for feeding, walking, administering basic medications, and giving plenty of attention. Whether in my space or theirs, I create a safe, clean, and comfortable environment so every pet feels secure and well cared for.
“This was the second time Juri watched Finn for me, and I couldn’t be happier with her care. She kept me updated throughout her stay with messages and pictures, which gave me peace of mind. Finn can be a bit anxious when I’m away, but Juri’s calm and attentive approach really helped him feel comfortable and cared for.”

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.

About: Hi, I'm Chelsea! When you trust someone with your pets, you're trusting them with a member of your family, and that's a responsibility I take seriously. I'm an experienced pet care provider with a growing clientele and hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. From energetic Bull Terriers and gentle giants like Great Danes and Great Pyrenees to shy, nervous, and reactive dogs, I've learned that successful pet care isn't one-size-fits-all. What sets me apart? I'm not someone who simply shows up, completes a service, and leaves. I pay attention to the little things: your pet's body language, energy levels, comfort, behavior, and individual needs. I believe in building trust with every animal in my care, especially those who need a little extra patience and understanding. I'm confident handling strong, energetic dogs and understand the importance of leash safety, environmental awareness, and recognizing potential triggers during walks. Whether your dog loves adventure or prefers a slower, more relaxed pace, I adjust my approach to what works best for them. My experience doesn't stop with dogs! I've grown up surrounded by animals and currently care for my own dogs, cats, rats, and reptiles. I'm comfortable with multi-pet households and understand that different species require different routines, handling, and attention. Your home and your peace of mind matter, too. Alongside pet care, I have approximately 10 years of professional cleaning experience working inside clients' homes. I understand the importance of being dependable, respectful of your space, and trustworthy when you're not there. When you book with me, you can expect: - Attentive, individualized care tailored to your pet - Regular photo updates and honest communication - Patience with shy, nervous, or high-energy animals - Respect for your pet's established routines - A dependable professional who genuinely enjoys what she does My goal isn't just to provide a service. It's to become someone you and your pets look forward to seeing again. Whether you need a reliable dog walker, someone to check in on your pets, or a trusted sitter while you're away, I'd love the opportunity to earn your trust. Your pets deserve more than basic care. They deserve someone who pays attention, understands their needs, and treats them like 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’ve always loved animals and genuinely enjoy spending time with them. I have experienced caring for puppies, including early feeding, and I’ve helped dogs with special dietary needs and administrating hourly medication. I am dependable patient and flexible with timing when available. Your pets will get the attention and care they deserve.
“Lily is the best dog and house sitter we have ever had. I have used 3 others from Rover. When I requested a sitter she responded immediately. We have 3 dogs, 2 Aussie and a Belgian Malinois. This woman was not afraid of Stella and made several trips prior to our 7 day trip to make THE DOG comfortable with her. She knows dogs and loves them. While we were gone she always sent updates and photos. Came home to a house that looked exactly as we left it and most importantly 3 happy healthy dogs. Lily will be the only dog sitter I will ever use and I highly recommend anyone else who needs her services to book her. THANK YOU LILY ? !”

“Lynna was a wonderful dog sitter and houseguest. She communicated clearly, followed all directions, and went above and beyond in the care for our pup. There was never any doubt in our mind that our dog was well taken care of! We 100% recommend her and will be calling her back again.”

About: I’ve had two dogs growing up along with family members dogs! I’ve grown up loving and caring for dogs that were not only mine! I have also had experience with guinea pigs , hamsters and fishes feeding, bathing and playing with all kinds of animals. I currently am part time at the moment, so I can come during the early mornings /afternoon or late evening and show love to your pets. I’ve lived in a house with fences so I know how to watch out for dogs in case they may escape , I have also cared for family dogs with pools and know how to swim in case it’s ever needed. I personally have kept my dogs inside with their own space in my room . But I’ve also cared for family pets where they were in crates or had a doggy fence.
About: I've had pets all my life, I've always loved being surrounded by animals because they always gave me comfort and happiness. I have trained all my dogs and I have puppy training experience. I also have dog sat and cat sat for many of my friends and family. Im currently a college student but all of my classes are online so I’m home most of my days. I have a part time job at a restaurant but it’s very flexible. I recently moved to Rancho Cucamonga! I have pets of my own, but they no longer live with me, so I really miss having animals around and would love to give yours some extra love and attention. When caring for your pets, I’ll follow their usual routine, including feeding, walks, potty breaks, and playtime, so they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I’ll respect your home and any instructions you leave, and send photos and updates so you can feel at ease knowing how your pets are doing!
“Yu Jie was absolutely awesome, especially being available for me on such short notice. She pampered my bundle of joy, Spirit, by taking him on multiple walks, playing with him, and keeping him entertained. With all his energy, she made sure he stayed active and happy. She also made sure he ate at his appropriate time, which gave me peace of mind knowing he was well cared for. Yu Jie went above and beyond, by not just meeting his needs, but making him feel loved. She is welcoming, kind, and clearly has a natural connection with animals. I will definitely continue to trust her with my Spirit and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, caring, and attentive to take care of their furry babies.”

About: Hi, I'm Yucheng! I'm a lifelong animal lover and a dog owner myself, so I know how much your pets mean to you. I follow feeding and care instructions exactly, keep your pet's routine just like at home, and send photo updates every visit so you can relax while you're away. Reliable, patient, and detail-oriented — your pet will be treated like my own. Chinese-speaking pet parents are welcome to message me in Chinese! My schedule is flexible — I work freelance, so I can fit walks and drop-in visits around your pet's normal routine, mornings, afternoons, or evenings, weekdays and weekends. I plan my days around confirmed bookings and always arrive within the agreed time window. Your pet's safety comes first. On walks your dog stays leashed and harnessed at all times, away from traffic and unfamiliar dogs. In your home I follow your instructions exactly — feeding, doors and gates double-checked, fresh water always available — and I send photo updates at every visit so you always know how things are going.
About: Hello :) and thank you for considering me to take care of your fur babies! I completely understand that your pets are more than just pets, they’re family!

Whether you’re leaving on a trip or just away for the day, I’m happy to help - send me a message and I would be happy to accommodate your requests.
“Tony was excellent. We were out of town for 11 days, he sent us updates and photos. He is an amazing communicator. Our flight canceled coming home and I had my sister go pick up the dogs, she said that the dogs were so calm and happy. He also left my house spotless. I couldn't be more happy with Tony's services. We will be going out of town a few more times this year, Tony will be our FIRST choice, nd hopefully only choice. We couldn't be more happy with the respect and love he gave to our home and our dogs. Thanks Again Tony.”

“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!”

“Marlena and Spencer went above and beyond for our animals and even shoveled the driveway for us after a big snow while we were gone! Our animals were happy and well cared for and we will use them again in the future. Thank you to you both! :)”


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.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fontana
Edith has watched Ollie many times now and we always feel at ease when she is with him. He's a small senior dog, and she's always patient with him and sends updates so we never have to worry while we're away. Edith is always reliable and leaves our house just as we left it. Highly recommend!
Britney is fantastic! Really went above and beyond to make sure my dogs were comfortable, happy and cared for. Also a great communicator - sending me pictures and updates so that I had peace of mind each day. Would definitely recommend and hopefully book again :)

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 😊

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Fontana is $36 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $56 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 November 2026, there are 2,973 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 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 Fontana. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
