About: Ever since I can remember, myself as well as my family have loved and enjoyed dogs and they have always been a part of our family. I got my first puppy when I was 12 years old. She was a rescue and I had her until I was 26 years old. Her name was Molly. We had many other dogs during that time. My sister's and I were who cared for them all. Although this is my first time running a business caring for dogs, I have taken care of dogs most of my life. Some people call themselves a "people person". I call myself a "dog person". I have always had a natural ability to connect with dogs. Dogs have always loved being with me. I care for them as if they were a child of mine. As I always have said, the more I get to know people; the more I love dogs! I'm currently a student at home so, I am available to give your pet my undivided attention. I treat all animals as if they are my own, like family. I love to spend quality time with animals. I also have good hygiene. I believe this is important because we all know how dirty animals can be. I am gentle and loving.
“Paris took great care of my sometimes anxious dog. She also looked after my fish and chickens. She clearly cares about the animals she watches and goes above and beyond to make sure they’re well looked after.”
About: Hi! My name is Bella, and caring for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve always had a deep love for animals, and I’m currently a proud dog mom to two dogs of my own, whom I absolutely adore and care for every day. I have 3 years of experience caring for and loving animals, and I truly believe that pets deserve to feel safe, comfortable, and loved—even when their parents are away. My goal is to give your pets the same patience, attention, and affection I would want for my own. Whether it’s going on walks, playing, giving lots of cuddles, keeping them on their normal routine, or simply being there for them, I want your pets to feel like they have a friend by their side. I know how hard it can be to leave your fur babies behind, so I’m here to give you peace of mind while making sure they know they aren’t alone. ❤️🐾 Pet care fits very naturally into my daily and weekly routine. With my husband currently away serving in the military, I have more flexibility and time in my schedule to dedicate to something I genuinely love—caring for animals. I’m able to be flexible with my availability and give each pet the attention, companionship, and care they deserve. I love having the opportunity to stay active, spend time with animals, and make pet care a meaningful part of my day while also focusing on myself and building work that I truly enjoy. 🐾❤️ Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in their own home, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for. I like to follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including their feeding schedule, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and any special instructions their parents provide. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and make sure everything is kept clean and just as I found it. I’ll give pets plenty of attention, affection, playtime, and companionship so they don’t feel lonely while their family is away. I also understand that every pet is different. Some may want lots of cuddles and play, while others may need more patience and personal space. I’m happy to meet them where they’re comfortable and treat every pet with the same love and care I give my own. 🐾❤️
About: I used to sit for a German family, whether it was date night, or when they left the country to visit their family. They were always so grateful they could trust me. They have moved out of state and I miss it. Let me take care of your furry baby like my own. I work M-Thurs, Friday I work from home, from 8am-5pm. I can do weekends or after work. If its house sitting then I would stay in your home. I will follow instructions on how you want me to take care of your pet, I know pets can get anxious and miss their family. I will try my best to offer comfort and familiarity.
“Ragon was everything I thought she would be and more! I could tell from the start that I was leaving my fur baby in the right hands. I would highly recommend her and will use her again if the opportunity arises before we move.”
About: I’m a caring, dependable animal lover with years of personal experience caring for dogs. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, giving lots of attention, and keeping pets comfortable while their families are away. I’m patient and attentive, and I’ll treat your pet with the same love and care I give my own. I’m also comfortable following detailed instructions and caring for pets who may need a little extra patience or attention. I have a flexible schedule that allows me plenty of time to give your pets the attention and care they deserve. I’m available throughout the week for drop-in visits, walks, and pet sitting. I can work with your pet’s normal feeding, potty, walking, and bedtime routine and will do my best to accommodate each family’s schedule. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I carefully follow all instructions provided by pet parents, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and house rules. I keep pets supervised, make sure doors and gates are secure, and provide a calm, loving environment. I’m also happy to send photos and updates so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is safe and well cared for.
About: Hello! My name is Fidencio, (my family calls me John, and you can too). I am 32 years old and have a long history of caring for dogs in my family. In 2005, my Father rescued a puppy from war torn Iraq. He fell in love with Target, our Iraqi dog, while he was deployed there. I remember my dad calling my mom, begging her to please find a way to get Target home, to California, over 7000 miles away. We went to work as a family finding any possible way to get our small puppy back home. Long story short, because we love animals, we got Target shipped to LAX. Target was what we considered an animal refugee. I remember going on the drive to LAX as a 5th grader to go pick up Target, when I first saw him he was scared, being shipped across the globe and being separated from his owner on the journey. But as soon as we got in the car we broke the crate open, we instantly all fell in love. Dedication to protecting a caring for animals is something that runs deep for me. And opening up our home to do that for others is an honor. I’ve attached some photos of Target, our 1st family dog. Looking at these older photos is such a trip! Blast from the past if you will. My Dad is now retired from the USMC and has a service dog jack, who is pictured above. He loves to play with other dogs and is very friendly. Hope you meet you and your pet soon! I am home full time and will always be there for you and your pet! Can be contacted 24/7 and checkup anytime. I’m just a call away. I care for other pets the same I would care for my own. With love, patience, and care. These things come naturally as an animal lover!
“Marissa helped me out on short notice and was super responsive. She was on time and very communicative throughout the day which put me at ease while away from my pack (who are rarely away from my husband or me). My three boisterous weimaraners were snuggled next to her on the couch in no time!! Highly recommend!”
“Stephanie was awesome with Charli! We ended up needing a house sitter last min(after another girl didn't give us all the info upfront) and she was more than willing to come over that same morning for a meet and greet, she made sure to send us tons of pics and videos in her one night here. She took her on walks and played with her in the yard. We would highly recommend using Stephanie and will definitely call her again for services.”

“Marissa did an amazing job! We adopted a puppy w/ severe trauma background who is afraid of everyone, who’d never been left alone w/ anyone before. He’s never let anyone near him before. Marisa’s patience and skill w dogs with a traumatic past enabled her to break through his fears and by the end of the day my sweet dog was cuddling with her! It was truly amazing. I highly recommend Marissa.”
“Danielle was amazing! Not only was a pleasure meeting her - but she clearly loves pups and is apt at making them her friend :) My Kirby is a BABY and doesn't like me leaving EVER! But by the time I left, he thought she was the cats meow. Princess warmed right up to her. She sent me updates and picture the whole time. And when I got home, they were calm and not at all stressed. Which tells me sooooo much. They enjoyed their time with Danielle and I will absolutely use her again.”
About: Growing up with dogs and missing my own, I am looking to help keep dogs happy, healthy and loved by walking, hiking, play and overnights care. My kids and I like to travel and understand how hard traveling can be when you can’t take them with you. I work full time, but will soon be off for the summer. I also have most weekends free and can drop in during my lunch if close to work. I have a great dog park near our place but prefer trails. Dogs that stay with my kids and I will be well loved and treated like family. We are a dog family but aren’t ready for another pup yet. I will be the one caring for your pet, but my kids will help give your pet lots of love, attention and belly rubs.
“Katherine was terrific housesitting for our three pets (Mini-Australian shepherd, older ragdoll cat, and highland lynx kitten) in Newport Beach! The older two pets are very anxious with strangers, but Katherine was very patient and managed to win their trust. She sent us many photos and updates during her stay, and we felt very secure about leaving the "kids" in her care. Katherine also looked after the house and left it exactly as it was; you would never know she had been there. I am happy to recommend Katherine and would gladly hire her again!”
About: I have experience working with puppies and many breeds. I will reinforce desirable behaviors through positive reinforcement. I have experience giving medication. I can take your pet to the vet for you. I have many years of experience working with animals at a veterinary hospital and animal shelter/rescue. I am available short or long term. I am available week days and weekends. Caring for pets is my vocation. I don’t have any schedule restrictions I have outdoor and indoor space according to your pet’s preferences. While outdoors, your pet will be supervised in an enclosed yard. I provide opportunity for water loving dogs to play in the pet pool. I provide “nose work” for those dogs that need mental activities.
“Shayna just watched our pups Kobe & Addie for 4 days while we were out of town. She was great & we definitely will use her again! She was super kind & friendly & I could tell the dogs really liked her immediately ! She sent me regular updates and pics & the pups always seemed happy . My home was also immaculate when I returned . Thank you Shayna! Hopefully Kobe & Addie will see you again soon!”
About: I don’t have issues with watching/walking more than one dog at a time. I’ve been pet sitting/house sitting for my friends/neighbor’s two dogs for the past 3 years. I have an 11 year old Shiba Inu who I love to death. Even though he can be a brat at time. My dog lives with my mom, so house sitting for you will not be an issue. I owned a cat for 10 years before he passed away. Other people in my neighborhood have relied on my to check in on their pets when needed. I’ve been around all types of breeds, big and small. Since I have a dog I know what pet care is like. - I have experience administering medications to dogs and cats. - I have taken care of dogs/cats of all ages - I can watch multiple pets at a time. My repeat family had two dogs and a cat I work full time down in San Diego. But I work from home three days a week so I can walk/check in on your pets during those days of the week. I can make myself available on weekends too. I will follow the care routine of your pet. I will cater to their feeding and walking schedule. I have a car so I can take them to dog parks (if requested) and vet appointments.

The average cost of House Sitting in Holcomb Village is $28 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $32 per night.

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 Holcomb Village 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 Holcomb Village 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 Holcomb Village 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.
