Despite my hesitation about leaving Ella, our 15 week old puppy, Donna did a wonderful job house sitting for us. She was a great communicator and kept me updated on Ella’s well being with regular messages and photos. Donna was attentive, well prepared, and kept our home clean. I highly recommend her!

Stella did a great job. Harley was walked 2-3 x a day. He really was Happy to see her when the key was dropped off. The house was left spotless. We would definitely use Stella again to watch Harley and our house.

About: I’ve had a dog since age 10 (now a sweet old boy!) and have fostered puppies! From shy and snuggly to playful and curious - I’ve met them all! Student at UH studying botany in my last year! Pretty flexible and looking to spend time with the pups of the island - originally from California with a good boy at home - I’m looking to cure some homesickness with your doggy! At home, my dog enjoys a fenced yard with plenty of sunshine for his sunning and naps with my cat (supervised of course) and both animals have free reign of the house. In your home all rules placed for your pets will be respected and any accidents cleaned before you can say “woof”!

I was a little nervous as this was the first time we used Rover for an overnight stay. But we had a great experience and I would definitely use Josh again. He was very communicative and sent us daily updates and videos of our pups. Our house and pups were in great shape when we got home.

About: I am the biggest animal lover at heart. I truly believe that pets are family, and they deserve the same love, patience, and attention as any human. I've always had a deep connection with animals of all kinds, and spending time with them brings me so much joy. I have professional experience working at a dog daycare, where I was responsible for supervising playgroups, feeding, administering medications when needed, cleaning, and making sure every dog was happy, safe, and well cared for. I've worked with dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and energy levels, from playful puppies to sweet senior dogs. I'm comfortable with high-energy dogs, shy dogs, and everything in between. Safety, trust, and keeping pets happy are always my top priorities. My journey on Rover is trying to work for myself and my furry friends because I love the freedom of constructing my own hours and creating a schedule that works for both me and the pets I care for. To me, taking care of animals is not a job - it is a privilege. I don't take that lightly. Every pet in my care will be treated like my own, with endless love, attention, and respect. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, overnight care, or just someone to keep them company while you're away, I will be there to make sure they feel safe, loved, and happy. My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I love being able to create my own hours and work around each pet’s individual routine and needs. I’m available for overnight stays, boarding, walks, drop-ins, and extended daytime care. I’m happy to communicate with you beforehand to make sure your pet’s normal schedule is followed as closely as possible while you’re away. Safety, trust & environment Your pet’s happiness, safety, and comfort are my absolute top priorities! 🐾 I provide care exclusively in the client’s home, which means your pet gets to stay in the place they know and love while keeping their normal routine. I’ll make sure they get plenty of love, attention, playtime, walks, and cuddles while you’re away. I’m also very respectful of your home and will treat it with the same care I give your pets. I’ll follow all of your instructions closely and send you plenty of updates and cute pictures, so you can relax knowing your fur baby is happy, loved, and in great hands! ❤️🐶

About: I have been surrounded by dogs of all ages my whole life, and have extensive experience in plenty of different scenarios. I helped train my dog when she was a puppy, I’m responsible for bathing her, feeding her, picking up her poop, walking her, and more - all the responsibilities of owning a pet. I am also the go-to dog sitter for my friends, family, and colleagues, as I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and do a great job at it. I have experience dog sitting for senior dogs, dogs with special accommodations, dogs who need medication, puppies, hyperactive dogs, standoffish dogs, pretty much every dog under the sun. I have no problems with any situation and can handle anything thrown my way! I have a very flexible part-time job where I can pick my hours, so pet care fits anywhere into my weekly routine where I may choose it. I tend to go above and beyond when pet sitting in the sense that I spend most of my time with the animals, so complete attention and pet care won’t be a problem. I could only care for pets in the client’s home, as my own dog stays at my house and is a solo act, but in a client’s home I would care for pets as if they were my own. I would expect to have access to resources I’d need to properly care for the pets, but I could also bring anything of my own if needed. I am determined to create and maintain a comfortable, safe, and loving environment for any pets that I’d be lucky enough to watch over.

Thank you Bradey for taking care of our pups. The unexpected flight cancellation was definitely stressful but knowing that you were there to care for our babies was a relief. I know Roxy is not the easiest, with her anxiety and all, and we are so grateful that you continue to provide the best care for her. Bob has really enjoyed your company and we’re so happy he’s warmed up to you so much. You are amazing!

About: I’m an experienced and playful dog walker & sitter who enjoys keeping pups active and happy. I currently walk two dogs twice daily and have cared for family dogs and my own pets. I have a flexible online school schedule, so I’m usually available throughout the week! I can often accommodate mornings, afternoons, evenings, and even nights. Just let me know what time you’re looking for, and I’ll do my best to make it work! When dog sitting in a client’s home, I’ll make sure your pup feels comfortable, safe, and cared for. I’ll follow their normal routine, including feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention and companionship. I’ll also keep their space clean and treat their home and pet with the same care and respect I would my own.

Rebecca came on 10/2/2024 to meet and greet and meet our dog, Ebony. She agreed to come Friday 10/4/4 at 4:30pm to stay with Ebony while we were out for a few hours. Ebony has severe separation anxiety and doesn't like to be left alone. She showed up at the agreed time and brought her own food. While we were out Rebecca gave Ebony a bath and cut some dried-up food and hair off his face. When we came home, she said Ebony is nice soft now after his bath. We would recommend Rebecca. She was on time and spent time with Ebony on the porch swing, which he loves. When she took Ebony outside, she stayed with him. Rebecca is thoughtful, kind, compassionate and cheerful, and even brought us her recipe for meatloaf. I recommend Rebecca, you will not go wrong to use Rebecca. Mary

About: I have taken care of animals for as long as I can remember! I am constantly around animals and having to commit myself to taking care of them. I am comfortable around all dogs and am willing to adapt and learn how to best care for your animal. When I come to take care of, play with, and walk your dogs I will dedicate my time to loving them. I have two puppers of my own - Charlie, a chihuahua terrier mix and a rescue, Maggie. I am currently home full time and am available for drop ins or house sittings when needed! I am also flexible and can accept last minute bookings. When in your home, I would love to take your fur babies for walks, to dog parks, anything you already do with them to make them the most comfortable! I now have a very flexible schedule, allowing me to be available for consistent walks throughout the week. Weekday mornings & afternoons work best for me. Safety is my top priority. I keep dogs on a leash, unless instructed otherwise, stay aware of my surroundings and avoid unsafe situations. I also make sure to treat every client’s home with respect and make sure the pets are comfortable.

About: I love dogs and cats all ages and sizes. I treat them as my own and take care of all their needs. I see all pets as family members. I’ll be happy to take them for long walks and I live close to a dog park!! Each one pet deserves individual attention. I will play, clean and walk them because they deserve the best. Please ask questions and let me know if your friend has special likes and needs. I am more than happy to provide extra services as long as time permits. I really appreciate advance notice from you. I have two cats at home. Your pets are welcome to stay at my place if you feel they will be comfortable. I look forward meeting your best pal! 😃Thank you. I am available full time for dog walking/dog and cat boarding. Flexible schedule for your needs. I love exercise so I want the same for your sweet dogs. I have a fenced yard to keep pets safe. They can play while I watch them. I love to play catch and keep them active.

About: I’ve had dogs ever since I was 8. In the past I’ve had a boxer, a puggle, and an American Shorthair cat. I have a straight-haired toy poodle who I adore the most in the world (I’ve included pictures of him)! I have experience with dog walking and sitting. I think that it’s such a delight to have pets around and would love to watch your furry friend on the weekends! I’ll be sure to send plenty of updates/photos/videos and treat your fur baby like my own. I’ve had experience with many different breeds of dogs from large German Shepherds to small senior Shih-Tzus and I love them all! Family and friends have always been able to rely on me to care for their pets. I love all animals (even though I do have a soft spot for cats and dogs) but I’ve also had birds, fish, a turtle, a hamster, and a bunny in the past. I recently graduated with my Bachelor’s and am taking classes to pursue my Master’s. I am also working as a tutor and behavior therapist with children on the spectrum but I would love to care for your fur babies in my free time! I can provide potty breaks, walk times, and play times and can ensure that your pet will get all my love and attention while they’re with me! :) SITTING AND DAY CARE: Currently I have on my calendar that I’m unavailable on most weekdays and only have availabilities on weekends, however this is just due to my work and school schedule as I don’t have as much time on weekdays as I would on weekends. However, if your fur baby is able to be alone between 4-6 hours on weekdays, feel free to reach out and I’d love to spend time with a new furry friend :) I ensure to respect each home that I am in and make sure to leave it as is, if not cleaner, than when I arrived. I excel at following instructions and always want every fur baby to feel comfortable and loved!

We are so grateful to have Rebecca watch our dogs!

Martina was a great fit for our family. We would definitely book her again. Martina came to our house in advance to meet our dog and her people, and we all thought she would be awesome with Jet, and she totally was. After we came home, our dog continued to keep an eye out the front window, looking for Martina. Martina did a fantastic job communicating with us and readily asked questions about things I didn’t think to cover. Martina and I have some significant life experiences in common and bonded over that. It felt like she was a friend I hadn’t seen for a long time as soon as I met her. We will definitely be requesting Martina again.

You could really tell she cared for my pets. She even reached out to me about my sneezy cat because she was worried she made him sick! But he just has allergies lol. I felt at ease the entire time she was watching my dog and cat. I would 10/10 definitely book her again for any kind of service because i know she would treat my pets like they were her own!

I think Paloma was a trooper in the best way. She accepted a job in a house with an antique grandfather clock that has an audible tick-tock and quarterly chimes and requires manual winding. Our dog, Jet, really likes it because she can hear the progress toward mealtime. I appreciate Paloma stepping out of her comfort zone. I think the experience will broaden her experience and add to her value as a pet sitter. Paloma proactively communicated about issues that came up, largely dealing with the grandfather clock. I appreciate her taking the time to do that.

FAQs for House Sitting - Foothill Ranch

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Foothill Ranch on Rover is $88.8 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 6,376 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Foothill Ranch. 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 Ranch 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 Ranch 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 Ranch 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 Foothill Ranch. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% 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.
