“Wonderful! Great at keeping me updated and being flexible and taking care of the furbabies. Played well with my high energy dog, enjoyed the company of my chill one, and took lots of pictures. Would definitely book with again and likely will for future trips! Absolutely felt like my dogs were well taken care of.”
“Trista was amazing. I have never returned from a trip and seen my dog so happy and energetic. Trista left my house spotless and went above and beyond to collect mail, clean up and wash all towels and sheets that she used. I highly recommend Trista to trust her with your beloved fur babies and in staying in your home!”
“Morgan was able to come over at the last minute to watch my dogs and did a great job. I received regular updates and he left my place looking as good or better than when he arrived. I’d highly recommend and hope to use him again if available.”
About: As an avid outdoor enthusiast and dog lover you can be sure your dog is getting the attention and exercise they need! I try to take the dogs out 2 times a day for walks and every couple of hours for potty breaks. I do have a wonderful pup-o of my own, Luna so your doggo has some company. Is your dog more of a runner? If so I’ll pop on my mountain bike and let them do some trail running... more of a lazy doggo? How about some ice cream? Just kidding... no ice cream! Definitely a happy household and a fun loving environment for everyone! If you have any questions, concerns or special needs, feel free to reach out. Thanks and I look forward to meeting with you and your pup!
About: I consider myself a dog person, but I enjoy cats as well! I have had wonderful and fun memorable experiences growing up with dogs. Ever since I was a child, I grew up in a family that loves dogs. I learned to feed, train, walk, and bathe dogs since my first pup at age 7. I would dog sit family dogs/cats and family friends dogs/cats. I enjoy all breeds of dogs and cats! I am available every day and week. I am open to house sit your pets and walk pets, and happy to feed them as well. I will also be available to do a quick check up on house pets such as to check the food/water bowls, clean kennel/litter boxes, etc. Your pet(s) safety is a priority I take very much into consideration of my duty responsibility. In a client's home I care for their pets based on the client's expectations and routines given orders. I will respect and follow the client's request of service. I do treat pets with respect, kindness, and care.
“Rachel was fantastic. She kept our girl very active with multiple walks and play dates with other dogs. Xena was very happy in her care. We were able to enjoy our short vacation without any worries how our dog was doing. That is priceless!”
“Suede was so easy to work with. She made a point to meet me and my dog before finalizing the booking. It was clear she cares about the animals she watches and wanted to help as much as possible. I will certainly schedule with her again!”
“Samantha is obviously comfortable with animals and did a great job with our pets. She was communicative and we would certainly like to use her again in the future.”
“Aly is phenomenal! She took such amazing care of Ellie and Gus. I can’t wait to keep working with her! She also stayed at my place and was an excellent guest and so thoughtful. I highly recommend her for pet service's and specifically boarding.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Hesperus
Katherine was a wonderful for our crew. She endured abnormally early breakfast demands and happily obliged morning cuddle requests by our clingy crew. They spent lots of time in the sunshine and in each other’s company which is more than we could have asked for. She was very communicative and even made a last minute meet and greet possible. I would highly recommend Katherine!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Hesperus is $42 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $94 per night.

As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 Hesperus 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 Hesperus 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 Hesperus 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.
