“Michaela was great with our gentle giants. They typically are timid and bark at new people for a while after entering the home, but when she came in, they took so quickly to her and my most fearful and timid dog did not bark at her nonstop. He actually went up to her quicker than any other dog sitter previously. Michaela sent updates throughout the visit and kept me up to date. The dogs really seemed to like her which was such a blessing. Having 3 large dogs can be intimidating, but Michaela was at ease and did a wonderful job. I definitely would recommend her and will use her again in the future.”

About: I absolutely love taking care of my dogs and I treat any pets just as I do my own. I was especially drawn to Rover after long-term dog sitting these 2 wonderful Dobermans, it made me want to create even more special bonds just like that. I am genuinely so happy spending time around animals… I have always taken up dog sitting opportunities for family or friends and now I would like to extend my love out to your pets as well!🩷🫂 I am dedicated to giving your pup the best care possible. I am super flexible and currently offering dog walking, drop in visits, and house sitting during the week and on weekends!! Check my calendar for specific availability. I am used to incorporating 1-3 dogs + a cat into a daily routine (for several years). I really enjoy long walks and playing outside or even napping with my dogs. I have unconditional love ready to give to any pet… you are doing me a favor by allowing me the opportunity to get to know and love your fur baby🥹🫶 I will always make sure that your pet and I are both respectful of house rules while still having fun. I do try to work on small behavioral training such as sit and stay on a daily basis. I will always be on top of it to make sure your dog stays on schedule and give endless cuddles so they stay happy as well.

About: I've grown up with cats since I was 8 and began petsitting for people in my 1st couple years of college around 2015. I've done both dogsitting and catsitting for people and I love both animals equally! I have petsat for people with animals of all ages, with the youngest dog I have watched being about 8-10 months and the oldest being about 14 or 15. I love exploring new places and being outdoors especially since I live in one of the most beautiful places in the U.S. with the best weather! I find it equally enjoyable to see a dog smile and to see him/her bring joy to their owner and to people around them. I love to see how dogs can bring people together and get people to connect who would otherwise likely never talk to each other. I genuinely enjoy helping others and caring for pets really is its own kind of therapy! I will always clean up after pets even if its raining or if the dog wants to rush off and I have to step on the leash to keep him/her from taking off. I live by the golden rule and will do what I can to hold people accountable for pets that aren't being taken care of and/or cleaned up after. I'm currently working part time at San Diego Community College district as an Educational Coach with a students who are special needs or neurodivergent student population. I work about 17-19 hours a week for that job and am typically away from the home for 5 hours a day or less on Mon-Thurs depending on the day and number of students I'm meeting with. Some administrative tasks for my school job can be done remotely. I want to do more dog-walking and housesitting because it motivates me to stay active and foster connections with animals that my current living situation doesn't allow for. I also love hearing people's pet rescue stories and funny stories because each pet has its own personality and leaves pawprints on others hearts and lives! I love spending time with pets by throwing them their favorite toy and cuddling with them on the couch or bed. I also care for them by taking them for walks or finding the perfect new toy from an old volleyball, piece of rope, or other seemingly random objects that pets decide to take a liking to. Its interesting to see what they choose and of course there are limits there of things that should not be considered due to being hazardous due to being a choking hazard, but I'm all about finding new ways for them to have fun. I will feed them as often as you need and I have also given a dog its pills disguised in peanut butter or in its kibble a few times. If your animal is only allowed in parts of the house or yard I will keep the pens up and only allow it out as directed. I will provide them water as well as with treats or dental chews as preferred. I will take dogs out to use the bathroom as often as I am able, typically once every couple hours while I'm home and once every few hours if I'm going out. Feel free to reach out via text to clarify this, especially if your pet has specific needs or needs to be taken out more frequently to use the restroom.

He was professional, reliable, and showed genuine care for my puppy. I felt completely comfortable knowing my Oli was in good hands.

About: Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember! From fostering and eventually adopting my beloved Boston Terrier to raising six cats and caring for two large Labradors over the past two years, I’ve gained a lifetime of hands-on experience with animals of all personalities, sizes, and needs. I genuinely love getting to know each animal’s unique personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. Whether that means long walks, playtime, extra cuddles, sticking to a specific routine, or simply providing a calm and comforting presence, I’m happy to accommodate each pet’s individual needs. One of my latest adventures in pet care has been preparing fresh, homemade meals from scratch every week for the two Labradors I care for. It’s given me an even greater appreciation for the importance of nutrition, consistency, and attention to detail when caring for animals. I also have extensive experience with house sitting and caring for pets while their owners travel. I regularly look after a friend’s beloved Bulldog while she’s away at her second home in Austin, Texas. One of my biggest pet-sitting experiences involved caring for six animals under one roof, three dogs and three cats, including a dog who required daily medication. I managed everyone’s individual routines, meals, and needs while their owners were away in Los Angeles, and everything went wonderfully! I’m especially comfortable with multi-pet households, large breeds, cats, and animals who need a little extra patience or attention. I understand that every pet has their own routine, preferences, and quirks, and I take pride in making their time away from their owners as stress-free as possible. I also know how much trust it takes to welcome someone into your home and leave your beloved pets in their care. I’m respectful of your space, attentive to instructions, and happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can enjoy your time away knowing everyone is happy and well cared for. My goal is simple: to give your pets the same love, patience, and attention I give my own, while giving you complete peace of mind. I would love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family members! I’m currently working part time as an Esthetician, my schedule varies based on seasonal business changes, due to being at a resort. I have a lot of time off to dedicate to animals. I do not have set days off besides Fridays, but with enough notice I can make anything work. At home my pets have set meal times and bed times, but during the day are allowed to come and go as they please through the dog door and within the large acre fenced yard. How ever you’d like my time structured with your animal I will abide to. I am very flexible and know each family runs their homes differently, I am happy to help however you see fit.

About: Ever since I was little I dreamed of owning a doggy hotel. But growing up I realized most doggy hotels are caged or crated the majority of their stays. I would never like my own dog to be caged in all day and only allowed a certain amount of outdoor time, so I started pet sitting at home! I have cared for my friends dogs for over a decade now. I enjoy experiencing different breeds and truly understand them. I have a deep tub for them to splash around in on hot days and a twin mattress in the garage for them to snuggle up in at night! Not a luxurious hotel I dream about but we will get there soon! Pet care is easy for me! I wake up and they are my first priority. I watch them all eat during feeding time and make sure no one is bullied out of their food. And separate those that need to be fed alone. I work full-time from home, which gives me the flexibility to provide plenty of attention and companionship to your pets throughout the day. Because I’m home while working, I’m able to maintain your pet’s routine, provide regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, meals, and lots of love and attention. My flexible work-from-home schedule also makes me a great option for house sitting, as your pets won’t have to spend long periods of time alone. I can be there to keep them company and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. At My Home Your pet’s comfort, safety, and activity level are always important to me. Pets in my care have opportunities to spend time in both the backyard and garage, where I spend much of my time with them. This can be a great fit for dogs who enjoy being active or need extra outdoor time throughout the day. Most guests have access to the backyard and garage while supervised, depending on their individual needs and temperament. At night, dogs typically sleep in the room with me so they have companionship and aren't left alone. Crate accommodations are also available for pets who are crate-trained or whose owners prefer that option. To help prevent food-related conflicts, dogs are separated during feeding times when necessary, allowing everyone to eat comfortably and safely. In Your Home When caring for your pets in their own home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine while giving them as much companionship and attention as they need. I enjoy keeping pets active through walks, playtime, and other physical activities appropriate for their age, energy level, and abilities. My safety Your pet's safety and well-being are always my priority. My partner may occasionally check in on me and can be available to assist if needed, helping ensure I have additional support while caring for your pets.

“Angie took great care of Ziggy while we were away for almost two weeks. She took him on lots of walks and sent us pictures and videos every day, which we really appreciated and helped us feel comfortable knowing he was happy and well cared for. Ziggy seemed to really enjoy his time with her, and we came home to a happy pup! Would definitely book Angie again in the future!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Harbison Canyon

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Harbison Canyon is $52 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $43 and $67 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 5,944 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Harbison Canyon. 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 Harbison Canyon 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 Harbison Canyon 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 Harbison Canyon 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Harbison Canyon. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.
