“This is my first time using Rower and I’m so glad I did. Katie made this process so easy for me. My dog Lucy is 15 1/2 and have never stayed with anyone before.

About: Hi I'm David! I love giving any pet the same attention and care I'd want for my own. Whether it's a quick check-in, feeding and litter duty, or an extended stay, I will be there for them! I’ve been on both sides of pet sitting (being a sitter and a paw parent) so rest assured you'll get regular updates and photos so you're never left wondering how things are going. I pay close attention to routines, feeding schedules, medications, and quirks that make your pet unique, and I make sure your home is left exactly as I found it. I'm comfortable with cats and dogs of all temperaments, from the cuddle bugs to the shy ones (I have a dog and three cats so trust me each of them is different)! Your pet's comfort and safety are always my top priority. I’m currently working full time on the weekdays but I’m hybrid on mondays and fridays so I can be pretty flexible! Open to pet sitting all days. I’m available anytime on the weekends too. I make sure to follow any house rules and pet schedules. I know most fur balls have their own routines and it’s important to me to keep them so they feel comfortable and safe! I can walk any dog and care for any cat, all quirks and sizes.
“We found Tyrie to be not only naturally good with animals, but also extremely responsible in caring for our home and garden. We were gone for two weeks and returned home to find everything in perfect condition! We will have her back for our next vacation. She's the best pet and home sitter we have ever encountered!”
“Ariana was great with our puppy, Wilbur. She was communicative, on time, and sent lots of pics. She responded right away when we checked in and made Wilbur feel very comfortable and loved. Definitely recommend!”
“Regi did a wonderful job sitting with our fur babies who get separation anxiety. Very professional and prompt. We especially appreciated the photo updates throughout the day. Would highly recommend Regi.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Foothill Ranch
This was our first time trying house sitting with our anxious dog and Stella did great! Our dog liked her right away! She was calm and reassuring. She showed up on time, followed instructions, and gave us updates on our dog. Because she was there to soothe and comfort him, our dog was able to relax while we were away.
We are so grateful to have Rebecca watch our dogs! She was willing to be flexible and hop in to take care of our pups on extremely short notice when we had to rush to the hospital for our baby girls arrival. Our pups were well taken care for which brought so much peace of mind to both my husband and I!
Our dog Sonny had another great experience with Bradey. We were gone for quite a long trip and felt comfortable our pup was well taken care of. Several of our neighbors even went out of their way to tell us they noticed Bradey constantly out on walks and giving Sonny lots of love.
Joshua was an awesome pet sitter. We have three dogs and he quickly developed a rapport with each of them. He was extremely communicative during his stay, sending videos twice each day and he clearly enjoyed spending time with our pups. The house was neat and clean when we returned and he even took out the trash. We strongly recommend Joshua for taking care of your pets.
Maya was wonderful! She stayed at our home for a few nights to take care of our two dogs and our cat, and we couldn't be happier. All of our animals were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for when we got home. She also left our house exactly as we left it, which we really appreciated. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our pets and home were in such good hands while we were away. We're so happy we found Maya and would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend!
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.
Reagan is an incredible sitter and lovely walker! He listens to your pup and their needs. Is able to provide cuddles, walks, adventures and listen to the smallest of details and quirks your pup may have! 10/10 will have him watch my malinois again. Great knowledge of high energy working breeds as well
Xiaochang was AMAZING. We went on a road trip for about 10 days and i was never worried about my pets because she was constantly updating me! She sent photo updates every day, twice a day. 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.
