About: I have had dogs all my life growing up. Honestly - there has never been a year in my life where I have not owned a dog. I have experience with small dogs to large dogs. I have volunteered for several shelters when I was younger. I have cared for senior dogs and dogs who have cancer. My dogs are spoiled and honestly, they are not pets but family. I love my dogs unconditionally the way they love me. I currently work from home all week. I am free to play, run around, and walk my furry family throughout the day. I am usually home during the day, in the evenings and on weekends. I have a fenced yard. The yard is large and has grass and play toys. I have two furry family dogs to keep your pet company as well. My home is dog friendly with multiple dog beds, toys, and treats. I have extra crates, leashes, harnesses, treats, bowls, and blankets.
“Johnna was a wonderful and attentive caretaker for our little fur family! We got lots of updates and pics which we loved. She was able to come by a couple times before we left so our doggo could get to know her and her super sweet pup, Bonnie. We will definitely use her again and highly recommend her!”
“Our pets were well taken care of, and the house was just as we left it! She had excellent communication and sent pictures throughout our time away. Definitely recommend!”
About: I grew up with a full range of dog breeds and even horses! Those big pups don't worry me at all! I am runner who enjoys 4-legged company, and I currently use that skill while volunteering at Bradshaw Animal Shelter with their Pit Bull Socialization and Obedience Crew (PB SOC). In addition, I take daily walks along the river just behind my house. I find every dog has a unique personality that deserves patience and understanding, mutual respect is of the utmost importance to me. BONUS: I own an event and portrait photography company, so the check-in photos and selfies are going to be top-notch.
“Kaiya was extremely friendly and the fur babies loved her. Daily updates, good pics, and overall easy to work with. She made my first time using the “stay in your home” option a breeze. 5/5 would recommend.”
“Alexis is fantastic! Immediately I noticed she had a nice peaceful energy, which is really important for my nervous girl. She gave me unprompted morning and evening updates with pictures, and never once did I worry or wonder how things were going. My home was also just as clean as I’d left it when I returned. Will absolutely be booking with her again, and for the long run! Thank you Alexis, Ms. Millie was so happy spending time with you! <3”
About: I’ve trained and cared for many dogs throughout my life, from agility training high energy puppies, to senior canine hospice. I’ve been a volunteer with the ASPCA since December of 2023 and have deployed to their cruelty recovery center in Ohio multiple times as a volunteer kennel technician. I currently work as a veterinary assistant at a small practice in Woodland, Ca I am currently working full time Tuesday-Friday 8am-5:30pm as a veterinary assistant, and Saturdays 8am to noon, so when I’m not at work, I love to spend my time giving your pet(s) the attention and structure that they deserve! I can stay overnight with your pet, or do daily check ins starting at 6 am. Any time I leave your pet unattended I can provide them with a safe form of enrichment to keep them busy.
“Riley did amazing with Kilo! He kept me posted with pictures and followed his eating schedule. Riley was respectful of my phone and allowed Kilo plenty of pool time. Will definitely book with Riley again in the future!”
“Piper was great with my rambunctious, one year old Doberman! He has a lot of energy and Piper didn't miss a beat taking care of him for my work trip! He was very happy to see her! Thanks again, Piper!!”
“Jennifer watched our two dogs for 10 days at our house while we were in Hawaii. Our dogs took to her immediately when meeting her. She did an excellent job watching our dogs. She provided updates throughout our trip and sent pictures of the dogs playing and cuddling her. She took the dogs for walks and played ball in the backyard. House was clean and poop was picked-up when we got home. She really provided peace of mind, so we could relax on our trip. We will definitely use her services again. Thank you so much Jennifer.”
“Gabriel was a pleasure to work with. "Gabe" sent us photos and regular updates. We were more comfortable on our vacation knowing Gabe was looking out for our puppy, Dobby. I would definitely recommend Gabe.”
“Brie did an awesome job. She was very flexible in scheduling, coming over to meet the pups and go over instructions. She sent pics of the pups and all of pups seemed to like her very much!”
“We just got back from a 10 day vacation and want to highly recommend Fatima. She was great. She sent us pictures and comments several times a day so we knew our "furry kids" were safe and happy. Not having to wonder how they were doing really enhanced our vacation. The animals love her. She even made friends with our shyest cat and had another one sleeping on her back. The house was as clean as when we'd left it and she even cleaned up after the dog in the back yard, even though we told her she didn't have to. I will definitely be using Fatima in the future, even if it means planning our vacation around her availability.”
“Very impressed with Stephanie and the care she provided for our dogs. Would highly recommend for anyone considering reaching out. She provided check ins with pictures and walked them regularly. We will be reaching out for all future dog watching needs.”
“Delmar is a lovely person and pet sitter! She went above and beyond to make sure my menagerie was taken care of and sent lots of updates. She also took her own notes about my home and the the pets’ schedules.”
“Erika was great with our dogs and very knowledgeable , we where able to trust her with our home and animals while we were on vacation. I highly recommend her and will use her again for sure.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Foothill Farms is $60
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Foothill Farms
I am so happy we chose Kaiya to care for my babies while I was traveling. From the start her warm personality was apparent and I could see my pups would be comfortable having her care for them. She provided frequent communication and sent cute photos. Even my shy rescue pup was quickly at ease.
Laura was great with our boys! She spent an entire week with them. We have 2 large senior dogs that require a lot of love and attention and I was very nervous about leaving them. She put me at ease with lots of pictures and updates how they were doing. I really appreciated her communication and how well she took care of them. I was able to enjoy our family vacation because our dogs were in great hands.
Shelby is great! We have had her check in on our pets and now house sit and stay with them. Both times she has been amazing with them and very flexible with their quirks and behaviors when their parents aren’t home. Would recommend her and will use her again in the future!
Rebekah did an amazing job house sitting and taking care of my three cats. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly very comfortable with animals. I really appreciated the regular picture updates—it gave me peace of mind knowing my cats were happy and well cared for while I was away. She was also easy to get a hold of whenever I needed to check in. I came home to three very content cats and a well-kept home, which says everything. I would absolutely trust Rebekah again and plan to use her in the future. Highly recommend!
Johnna was an absolute godsend. She took care of our senior dog in the most loving positive way while we attended a wedding. She kept us updated with pictures and texts. We would highly recommend Johnna and wished we lived in the area so we could have her watch our dog again. So grateful. Thank you.
Dylan was great with our two dogs and cat, even providing extra help since one of our dogs was still recovering from a recent surgery. He was very respectful of our home and provided frequent, thoughtful and often humorous updates about all our pets! Would highly recommend Dylan to anyone as he is a true animal lover!
This was our first time booking with Piper. She took very good care of our Standard Poodle Bundles for a quick afternoon sitting at our home. She was prompt, punctual, easy to communicate with, friendly, and respectful of our home. Bundles took to her very well and became fast friends. We’d definitely choose her again for future sittings. Thank you for the Baklava. It was awesome!
Jennifer took excellent care of my home & pets while I was traveling. I appreciate the updates and photos she sent to keep me posted on how they were doing. She was always quick to respond to communication which gave me peace of mind while I had to be away from my babies

FAQs for House Sitting - Foothill Farms
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Foothill Farms on Rover is $44.05 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 2,822 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Foothill Farms. 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 Foothill Farms 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 Foothill Farms 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 Foothill Farms 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.

- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
