“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!”

“Zair came to our house for 3 nights to care for our dog, Laney. Laney is fearful of strangers but I could tell from photos sent that she was calm and comfortable. I really appreciated that.”

“Brandie is absolutely incredible. We have two cats and a little dog, all boys. Our dog has a lot of anxiety and struggles with new people. Within the first few hours he warmed right up to Brandie. All three boys looked so content and happy all week. Brandie was very communicative and always responded immediately. She did everything we requested and more. Went above and beyond in taking care of the house and our boys. We are so grateful to Brandie and cannot recommend her enough. She will absolutely be sitting for us again. We cannot wait to have her back and neither can Neil, Migi, & Buster! ❤️”

About: Animals have been a cherished part of my life for as long as I can remember. I have many years of personal experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities, as well as cats. I understand that every animal is unique, with their own routines, preferences, and ways of communicating. I am a mature, compassionate, and responsible professional employed full-time with the State of California. My background also includes many years in education, leadership, and positions requiring a high level of trust, patience, and attention to detail. I have also 20+ years of house/petting sitting experience. My approach to pet care is grounded in kindness, attentiveness, consistency, and respect. I believe animals thrive when they feel safe, loved, and understood. Whether your pet enjoys energetic walks, playful companionship, quiet affection, or simply having someone nearby, I take the time to understand what makes them comfortable and happy. I am especially interested in overnight and extended house-sitting opportunities. I understand how important it is to know that your beloved animals and home are being cared for while you're away. I treat each home with respect and every pet with the same tenderness and consideration I give my own. I am happy to provide regular updates and photographs, follow established feeding and care routines, and accommodate reasonable special requests. My goal is simple: to give you genuine peace of mind and help your pets feel secure, content, and loved until you return. I currently work in the office, Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday (general 8 hour day with flexibility) and Wednesdays I work remote. Saturdays and Sundays I'm available all day. I'm a home centered person, so I'll have plenty of time to give companionship and play. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my highest priorities. I believe that animals feel most secure when they are surrounded by familiar sights, smells, and routines, which is why I especially enjoy caring for pets in their own homes. With more than 25 years of house and pet-sitting experience, I understand the importance of providing a safe, peaceful, and nurturing environment while respecting each pet's individual personality and needs. I carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications when applicable, exercise, household routines, and any special care requirements. I pay close attention to your pet's behavior, appetite, comfort, and overall well-being, and I take care to keep doors, gates, and other potential hazards secure. I treat every home with the same respect and consideration I would want for my own. I maintain a clean and orderly environment, respect your privacy and belongings, and ensure your home is secure throughout your absence. Communication is especially important to me. I am happy to provide regular updates, photographs, and reassurance so you can feel connected to your pets while you're away. As a full-time State of California employee, I maintain a dependable professional schedule and am especially well suited for pets who are comfortable with their owners working during the day. I provide attentive care before and after work, overnight companionship, and additional time together on weekends. Above all, I want you to return home to happy, relaxed pets and a home that has been lovingly and responsibly cared for.

About: With an energetic pup of my own, I am no stranger to the needs of fur babies. Consistency is key when it comes to pet care and training. I will make sure your pup(s) get plenty of exercise with a walk around your local neighborhood. Each pet is unique and I will be certain to cater to your individual pet’s needs. But no matter what, I will be certain that each pet gets the same loving care as if they were one of my own. I am currently very flexible in my schedule so I can offer walks or drop ins for potty breaks and daily enrichment or house sitting for more comprehensive care for your pet when you’re away! I would love to check on your fur baby if you're busy so they don't get lonely! Personally, I have my own rambunctious pup named Lila who loves treats, walks, and attention. I would treat your dog like my own in care and affection!

About: I've always loved dogs, and want the chance to get to know yours as well! I myself have a very energetic miniature aussie, as well as experience pet sitting a wide variety of dogs. I grew up with a Shetland sheepdog, and have experience with dogs as small as 15-20 lbs, and as large as 101+ lbs. I have no qualms about dog breeds either, with all members of my family and friends having a healthy mix of dogs across the spectrum of size, breeds, and personalities. If your dog wants to cuddle and be pet, or go out and play endless fetch, I'm all about it. Or, I'm more than happy to stay in the house to give them some company. Totally up to you, and them! I'm a stay at home mom with lots of hobbies and the occasional tutoring session, so I have quite a bit of availability. Most of my availability is after my husband gets home from work, so I can give your pet the focus and love it deserves while my daughter stays home. I also have quite a bit of availability over the weekend to stop in and say hi. All of this being said, I'm flexible, and would love the opportunity to talk with you to see if we can work together for a solution that gets your pet the care and attention they need. I am happy to care for your pets in your home. I will arrive on time and consistently. More than anything, I will always communicate with you to let you know how everything went, and I'm happy to send pictures as well.

About: Senior dogs are my specialty. I understand that older pups may need a slower pace, extra patience, more frequent potty breaks, shorter walks, mobility accommodations, or simply someone who is happy to sit beside them and provide some company. Sometimes the best walk is a leisurely sniff around the block—and sometimes it’s a very dignified stroll to the mailbox. I’m here for both. What sets me apart is that I treat your dog like an individual, not a checklist. I pay attention to their personality, routine, comfort level, and those little quirks that make them them. I’m responsible, observant, dependable, and genuinely love animals. And if your senior pup prefers naps, snacks, and judging the neighbors from the window? I speak that language too. I am available Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and most weekends for a morning stroll, potty break, or simple snuggles. Safety and your comfort are my priority. Your home, their rules. 🐾 I offer dog walking and drop-in visits in your home, where your pup is most comfortable. I’ll follow your routines, instructions, feeding schedules, medications (if applicable), and all those very important household rules—yes, even the one about not letting them convince me they “haven’t been fed yet.” 😉 During visits, your dog gets plenty of attention, affection, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and companionship. I’m also happy to send updates and photos so you can see that your fur baby is happy, safe, and being appropriately spoiled. I do not provide boarding or pet care in my own home. My goal is to make things as easy and stress-free as possible for both you and your dog by caring for them right where they’re happiest: at home, in their own space, with their own stuff.

Piper cared for my 2 cats and 2 dogs while I was away on a 5 day trip and, after the excitement of my return, they all settled back down quickly into routine. This let me know the attention and care she provided in my absence. Even my older cat, who generally hides from everyone, took to her right away. You can rest assured booking Piper for your pet sitting needs!”

About: I have volunteer experience at an animal shelter, so I have experience working with and caring for dogs, cats, and even rabbits! I have also taken a couple dog handling classes through the shelter. I have owned dogs all my life and have trained a few of them as youngsters in basic commands (sit, stay, come, down, etc). I am also a horse girl and thus have pretty impressive upper arm strength for my size, so I can handle your large dog that pulls on walks. I am transitioning from a part time job to full time pet care with Rover so I have full flexibility and am able to zip over and give your pet some TLC whenever I'm needed. I have a dog of my own so I also understand and can provide what a pet needs in a typical day. In my house, pets are treated like family. From the moment I enter your home or meet your pet, it becomes part of my family too and I will care for it as such. I believe compassion, patience, and a good sense of humor are essential to good pet care regardless of whether you're inside or outside the home. An environment of fun, love, and trust will be created when I care for your pet and I'm sure a great bond will form whether I meet that pet one time or 30 times.

“We could not have asked for a better person to care for Remi and our home while we were away. Nancy truly went above and beyond in every way. She didn’t just take care of Remi—she made sure Remi had a great time! She took her on walks and to the dog park, played endless games of ball, prepared her special meals of chicken and quinoa, and even took her to the store to buy new balls. She also brought some unique balls from her own home because she thought Remi would enjoy them—which, of course, she did! Nancy kept us updated every day with texts, photos, and videos. Being away from Remi is never easy, but those updates gave us such peace of mind. We could see that Remi was happy, comfortable, and genuinely enjoying herself, and we never had to worry about whether she was being well cared for. Nancy stayed in our home every night and treated our home with the same care she gave Remi. We came home to a clean house, dog hair picked up, and she had even gathered the linens and put them in the laundry. None of that was expected—it was simply Nancy going the extra mile. Most importantly, we came away knowing we can completely trust Nancy with two things that mean a great deal to us: Remi and our home. We were so pleased with her that we have already booked her for our next trip. We highly recommend Nancy and feel very fortunate to have found her. Remi may be the happiest of all—she gets to have Nancy come back! 🐾❤️”

About: I am a lifelong dog owner and animal lover with well over 10 years of experience with dog care outside of my pets, including advanced training for jobs, special needs care, and dog behavioral studies. I also have experience with birds, rodents, and reptiles with much love for all. I am known for getting anxious dogs to like me, even those that dislike men. I am happy to give any animal as much space or as much love as they need. I have almost totally open availability, with exception for Tues/Wed evenings and midday Saturdays - But these can be adjusted as needed on request. Let's work out a schedule that works for you! I care for fragile animals such as birds, elderly dogs/cats, and rodents with great care for their varied needs. As an experienced housesitter of many years, I am committed to respecting the space of others and will typically leave a space cleaner than I found it.

FAQs for House Sitting - Foothill Farms

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Foothill Farms is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $78 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 2,692 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 , 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 .

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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
