“Holly was the perfect house sitter for Lucy. She has a very calm and soft demeanor and Lucy was comfortable with her in no time at all. Holly was very attentive and responsive throughout the whole process and I was comfortable knowing I could reach her easily. I would definitely ask Holly to watch Lucy again and would highly recommend her to others looking for a trusted carer for their pets.”

“We have a very active 60 lb. dog who requires a daily hike. Tina took Hazel out for an hour each day, and when it proved too hot in the afternoon she switched to mornings. She followed all of our requests and Hazel really liked Tina. She (Tina, not Hazel) left the house clean and tidy. We have already made arrangements to hire Tina again. We recommend her wholeheartedly.”

About: Hello, my name is Maira and I’m a life long animal lover. I’ve had all kinds of pets and cared for everything from turtles to fish, hamsters and birds, a rabbit, cats and dogs. Although I love all animals, Dogs are where my heart melts! I’ve taken care of friend’s dogs as well as helped friends and family basic train their small and large breed dogs. I have 10+ years of experience with dogs of all sizes and ages including my 90lb high energy Doberman which taught me a lot. If you remember one thing from my page I hope it’s this; I will take care of your furry babies as if they were my own. Monday through Friday I am available 6:30am - 6:30pm to care for your furry family. Saturdays and Sundays I am available 7:00am -7:00pm. If you need me outside of this time frame please let me know. During a drop in visit, I let your fur child out for a potty break and ensure they have plenty of water, food, and treats (if you okay the treats before hand) then hang out, play, and love on them for the remainder of the 30mins. During a walk booking, I will pick up your dog for a walk around the neighborhood. Which can be part structural and part sniffing to mentally stimulate and not just physically work out. The goal is a happy healthy pupper (and yes a 10 y/o is still a pupper) you will receive photos of our adventures and a message informing you how your baby’s walk went. Rain or Shine! Your Dog’s safety is my top priority. If it’s too hot or it is raining we will alter our walks with either a rain jacket or walking indoors at a near by pet friendly store. I am prepared with towels, plenty of water and a pet first aid kit should we ever need anything.

About: I’ve always been an animal lover and have 8 years of hands-on experience caring for my own pet. I also have repeat dog-sitting experience, including caring for the same dog for extended stays while his family travels. This has included multiple extended stays ranging from five days to two weeks, so I understand the responsibility that comes with being trusted with someone’s pet while they’re away. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, cuddles and following your pet’s individual routine and care instructions. I know every pet has their own personality, so whether yours loves constant attention or prefers a little space, I’ll take the time to make sure they feel safe, happy and comfortable! I’m reliable, attentive and respectful of both your pets and your home, and I’m always happy to send plenty of photos and updates so you can relax knowing your furry family member is in good hands! 🐾 My schedule is currently very flexible, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I’m available for drop-in visits as well as overnight house sitting, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual feeding, playtime and care routine. I know how important consistency is for cats, so I’ll do my best to keep their days feeling as normal and comfortable as possible while you’re away! I believe pets are happiest and most comfortable in their own familiar environment, so I’ll always respect your home and follow your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible. I’ll carefully follow any feeding, litter, playtime or other care instructions you provide, and make sure doors and windows are secure when coming and going. I’m respectful, clean and considerate of your space, and I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you can enjoy your time away knowing both your pet and your home are being well cared for!

She also took very good care of the home.

About: My name is Halle, and I have extensive hands on experience caring for animals in both professional and personal settings. I worked full time on a farm for over three years, where I was responsible for the daily care and handling of a variety of animals including my own horse Bella :) I’ve also grown up with both large and small dogs, so I’m comfortable managing different breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I’m trained in dog CPR and first aid, as well as human first aid, which allows me to respond appropriately in urgent situations. I have a strong understanding of animal behavior and boundaries, and I prioritize handling pets with a balance of patience, consistency, and clear structure. In addition to my farm experience, I’ve worked and volunteered in animal shelters, which exposed me to dogs and cats with a wide range of needs, including those requiring extra patience or behavioral awareness. I also currently care for two dogs of my own, Yuki and Amoria, one of whom has health issues that require ongoing monitoring and specialized care. This has made me very comfortable with administering medications, maintaining routines, and recognizing early signs of discomfort or illness. I also have experience supporting senior dogs, including adjusting activity levels, providing gentle handling, and maintaining consistent routines that reduce stress and support mobility and overall comfort. I aim to provide reliable, attentive care while maintaining your pet’s routine and comfort. I’m flexible with scheduling and committed to making sure both you and your pet feel confident and at ease. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I’m a full time student, but most of my classes are online, which gives me a flexible schedule throughout the day. I also work part time twice a week, but I plan my commitments carefully to ensure I have consistent availability for pet care. Because I already care for my own dogs daily, including one with special needs, I’m used to structuring my day around feeding schedules, walks, exercise, and check ins. This makes it easy for me to incorporate additional pets into my routine while still giving each one reliable, attentive care. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits depending on the day, and I’m willing to coordinate with your schedule to maintain your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I focus on keeping pets safe, comfortable, and as close to their normal routine as possible while caring for them in their own home. Before any service, I take time to learn each pet’s schedule, behavior, and any specific needs so I can provide consistent, low-stress care. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any house rules. I make sure doors and gates are secure, keep the environment clean, and pay close attention to behavior so I can catch any changes early. I also provide regular updates, including photos if requested, so you feel informed and at ease while you’re away. I’m experienced with a range of needs, including senior pets and those that require medication or extra monitoring. My approach is patient and attentive, with a focus on creating a calm, predictable environment where pets feel safe and well cared for.

Oh my goodness! I almost don't want to leave a review because it make make Vincent's schedule so busy that I will have a hard time booking with him again! He is a gem! He checks all the boxes for a pet and housesitter; kind, considerate, keeps in touch, cheerful, prompt....the superlatives are all there and all well deserved. Our pets absolutely loved him (even the fussy cat!) and I feel that everything is in competent hands while I'm away.

We were very happy with Dahlia. We could tell from her updates, photos, and videos how much she really loved our dog. Dahlia played all of Shadow's favorite games, kept to her schedule, and cuddled with her. I think Shadow might actually be happy the next time our family leaves for a vacation because she enjoyed Dahlia so much!

Katherine stayed in our home for 2 weeks with our cat and dog. We were impressed with her work experience, training in pet emergency care and CPR, and her pursuit of further veterinary studies. At the first meeting she was warm and engaging with us and more importantly with our pets. Our 65lb dog Teddy liked her so much he immediately sat next to her on the couch. Katherine was very aware of our pets' needs and spent a lot of time with them playing and taking walks. She also administered ear medication for Teddy twice a day. We got lots of updates and pictures, and we felt completely comfortable knowing our sweet boys were well taken care of.

Marco was very helpful and accommodating with my schedule change. We met at my hotel for a quick meet and greet and then stayed in my room while I bounced around the city. He’s punctual, he pays attention and seems like a pretty trustworthy guy. He safely watched my dog sleep (her favorite hobby) and got her out for a quick walk which is all we needed. He has great communication and is quick to respond; also his rates are extremely reasonable for the service. I recommend you reach out to Marco if you need your dog watched while out visiting Disneyland or the greater Anaheim Resort Area.

Tiffany went above and beyond caring for Mikey while we were away. This was the first time I had ever left him, so I was naturally nervous, but she completely put me at ease from the start. She sent continuous photo updates, which meant so much and allowed me to see how happy and comfortable he was throughout his stay. Tiffany is incredibly organized, attentive, and meticulous in her care. It was obvious that she truly cared about Mikey's well-being and treated him like family. Knowing he was in such capable and caring hands made all the difference. I cannot recommend Tiffany highly enough and will absolutely trust her with Mikey again in the future.

FAQs for House Sitting - Fullerton

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Fullerton on Rover is $70 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $38 and $99 per night. 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 14,046 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Fullerton. 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 Fullerton 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 Fullerton 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.

<b>Tip:</b> 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 Fullerton 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.
