“We went on vacation for 2 weeks and came home to happy, healthy dogs. I cannot tell you how nice it is to go on vacation and know your dogs will get the best care while you’re away. Thank you Casey, once again. I highly recommend Casey for your pet care!”
“We were so grateful to have Cambria house sit for us and watch our two dogs while we were on vacation. She was communicative throughout our trip, sending daily updates and photos of the dogs. We were able to fully enjoy our trip, knowing that our dogs were happy and well-cared for by Cambria. She took care of everything we needed while we were gone, watered our plants and went above and beyond, cleaning the floors before we arrived back home! We’ll definitely be reaching out to her again!”
“Jizelle did an amazing job watching my 3 dogs on New Year’s Eve. I have a senior dog with dementia that needs medication and she did a wonderful job administering the medication and watching over him throughout the night. She arrived early and was great at communicating with me throughout the night and sending me photos. Would definitely have Jizelle watch my dogs again!”
About: Growing up with dogs has left me with some great experience from dog walking and playtime to feeding and administering medicine. Of course your pup will get the best treatment but that comes with a good eye. I believe that I am great at understanding their needs based off their behavior, age, and energy level. Accommodating to their needs won’t be an issue. When caring for your pup overnight, nothing will change when it comes to giving them my full attention and making sure their needs are met. When caring for my dog Max in his last years he developed a cough which required extra care such as giving medication at late hours or simply being in their presence with some scratches. This experience taught me the importance of caring for an aging dog, being patient, attentive and compassionate. I promise I will care for yours as if they were my own! Thank you 😊 I am currently working full time although I will be available for night walks after 6pm on weekdays (Monday-Thursday) and boarding on weekends (Friday-Sunday). I can offer your pups toys and attention, whether it be in or outdoors. Whatever special request you have I would do my best to achieve. I only wish to create a happy and safe environment for them 😄
“I can't speak more highly of Kendall. She took care of our 4 year old lab for 10 days while we were on vacation, she stayed at our condo during that time. We had a meet and greet beforehand. She was communicative and checked in with us twice a day. She sent pictures and an update on how the day was going. I felt like I could actually enjoy my vacation knowing that our dog was in such good hands. Our condo was clean and tidy when we got home and, most importantly, our dog was relaxed and happy.”
About: For the past five years, I've been the proud parent of two adorable Maltipoos, providing them love and care every day. I've been the go-to sitter for friends and family as well. Every dog is unique, and I understand that! Whether your pup loves long walks, enjoys fetch in the park, or prefers lounging on the couch, I'll tailor their experience to suit their individual needs and preferences. I'm currently enrolled in online classes as I prepare to apply for a Ph.D. program, which allows me to be home full-time and provide dedicated care for your dog. My flexible schedule means I can give them the attention and companionship they need, whether it's playtime breaks in between study sessions or long walks to clear our minds, your pet will always take precedence in my daily routine. Safety and happiness are my top priorities. Rest assured that I will follow any and all instructions you provide regarding your or your pets' preferences and concerns. Plus I'll be sure to send regular photo updates which mean you'll never have to worry!
“Jose did a great job taking care of our 2 pups. They really enjoyed hus company. He sent pictures and gave us updates every day. When we got home the house was just as neat and clean as we left it. I would definitely use Jose again.”
About: I’ve been a dog owner for the past 6 years, so I understand how important it is to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Over the years, I’ve gained hands-on experience with feeding, walking, playing, and taking care of my dog’s everyday needs. I’m a responsible, outgoing, and active person who genuinely enjoys spending time with dogs. Whether it’s going on walks, playing outside, or just keeping them company, I always make sure they get plenty of attention and care. I understand that every dog has its own personality and routine, and I’m happy to adjust to their specific needs. My goal is to make sure your dog feels right at home while giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands! I’m currently a student at UC Riverside, where I’m involved in clubs, intramural sports, and other campus activities. Although I stay involved with school, my classes are primarily in the mornings, which gives me plenty of flexibility throughout the rest of the day to care for pets. I’m able to work around my class schedule to provide dog walks, feeding, playtime, and house sitting. I can also go back and forth between campus and your home to make sure your dog is fed, checked on, and given the attention they need. I enjoy staying active and spending time with dogs, and I’m committed to making sure your pets are well cared for while you’re away! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well taken care of. Having my own dog for the past 7 years has taught me how important it is to follow a pet’s daily routine, whether that’s feeding, walking, playing, or just giving them attention and company. I understand that every dog has different needs and personalities, so I’m happy to follow any specific instructions from their owner. I also make sure to keep the home clean and organized, respect the owner’s space, and provide updates so they know their pet is doing well. My goal is to make sure your dog feels loved and comfortable while you’re away!
“Larissa was amazing and took great care of our dog. She is extremely trustworthy. She communicated several times each day. She updated how our dog was doing and sent pictures. Routines were followed and our dog seemed very happy with her. I highly recommend Larissa!! Thank you, Larissa!”
“Sarah took great care of our kitty and our home. Our cat can be skittish and anxious around new people, but she they immediately vibed so well! We could tell in our daily updates that she was having so much fun and bonding with Sarah.”
“Lindsey was incredible with our fur babies! She was very attentive to their needs including caring for one of our pups that was in heat. She was very thorough in learning their schedules and how to best care for them. She sent great updates and pictures. Will definitely be booking Lindsay again! 😁”
About: Hi, I’m Nachelle! Ever since I can remember, dogs have been a huge part of my life. I grow up with dog and live stock. So have have dogs most of my adult life and I am familiar with many breeds and stages of life. I truly believes that pets are family and to some like me our kids. My goal isn't just to watch your dog, but to make sure they feel safe, happy, and thoroughly loved while you are away. Because I know how stressful that can be on them. When your pup stays with me, hangs out with me, or goes out for a walk they get my full attention, plenty of belly rubs, and a routine tailored specifically to their personality. Whether they are an energetic ball of fire who loves long sniff-walks or a senior sweet-soul who prefers a cozy couch lounge. When pets are in my home there is no off limit space besides the kitchen. So your fur babies will feel at home. If you have any questions please let me know. So I can accommodate your needs. Pet care is the most important to me as I have a dog and he is like my son. So daily walks, scheduled feeds, meds, and play time is a most. Trust is earned with pets just like humans. So I don't expect your pet to be warm and cuddly at first cause we have to establish that bond. So for me knowing there environmently triggers, happy spots, and things that there fearful of is the most important to me. So we can all be safe.
“THE BEST, book her! My boy is a little monster (standard poodle) and she had so much love and care for him and his brother. And she left my home in pristine condition. Thanks Maiya!”
“Tony was excellent. We were out of town for 11 days, he sent us updates and photos. He is an amazing communicator. Our flight canceled coming home and I had my sister go pick up the dogs, she said that the dogs were so calm and happy. He also left my house spotless. I couldn't be more happy with Tony's services. We will be going out of town a few more times this year, Tony will be our FIRST choice, nd hopefully only choice. We couldn't be more happy with the respect and love he gave to our home and our dogs. Thanks Again Tony.”
About: Hello 👋 I’m Brittany — a professional pet sitter and dog walker originally from New York with a huge love for animals. I have veterinary assistant training, dog training assistant experience, and I’ve volunteered at numerous animal shelters throughout my life. Beyond my professional experience, I’ve been around animals my entire life. I grew up spending time on my grandparents’ horse farm in upstate New York, helping care for the horses and other animals. Over the years, I’ve personally owned and cared for a wide variety of pets, from dogs and cats to small animals, birds, reptiles, and farm animals. Dogs and horses have always held a special place in my heart. As a mom to a teenager and 5 fur babies of my own, I know pets are family. I treat every animal like my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for. 🐾 I have a flexible schedule during the week. I’m only unavailable from 7:30–9:00 AM and 2:30–4:00 PM on weekdays for my daughter’s school drop-off and pick-up. I come prepared for every visit with my own utility belt stocked with all-natural treats and waste bags, plus my own leash, ice-cold water, and a travel water bowl. I also bring a tennis ball for playtime, a brush for pups who enjoy it, and paw balm when needed. 🐾 You’ll usually see me arrive for visits by e-bike 🚲, but I use my car if weather conditions call for it. I’m also comfortable caring for large, strong, and high-energy dogs.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and other pets ever since I was 12. I’ve also had experience with puppies and elderly dogs. Family and friends always rely on me to take care of their dogs while on vacation and I’d say I do a pretty good job! I am currently home for college and would love to pet sit for anyone in need of a sitter. Anytime works for me. I’d be happy to help! I usually like to give dogs a walk if they’re up for it. I give them food and make sure they’re well fed. I also give them baths on occasion!
“Joshua arrived when promised and took good care of our 2 dogs. They both liked him immediately, which was a feat as our larger 90 lb dog doesn't take to people quickly. House was left spotless and all was well!”

Anna was a wonderful pet and housesitter! She took excellent care of our dog and cat. Our dog is a rescue with some special needs and she bonded with her and cared for her perfectly. Her experience with animals shows. Our family highly recommends this caring, trustworthy, responsible petsitter!

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 Grand Terrace 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 Grand Terrace 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 Grand Terrace 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.
