“Clarisse took excellent care of my Charlie for about two weeks while I was out on a trip. She sent me daily updates of their activities together and how Charlie is doing as well as lots of pictures to keep me posted! I appreciate very much Clarisse’s caring and kind nature and making sure my dog is well taken care of, kept him to his routine and added lots of walks to keep him comfortable and to sleep well while we are away. She made sure they have safe walks, our house secured also and kept it nice and clean as well. I cannot express my sincerest thanks for Clarisse and taking care of my Charlie - we are now regular patrons! Thank you for taking the time to know Charlie and looking after him as if your own pup, Clarisse! See you soon for another Charlie appt. 🐶🥰👍🏻🤗”
“Griselle was great with our two senior dogs they seemed to be comfortable with her. She sent updates and pictures of them and lets us know how they were eating which is always a problem when we leave but they seemed to do pretty well with Griselle.”
“Rozi was a truly kind and caring soul who took wonderful care of our Mickey boy. She followed his medication schedule and all of our instructions. He is a special needs dog but she was very capable and professional. She kept me updated the whole time and I felt very at ease. We will definitely use her again in the future and I’d recommend her to anyone looking for care for their fur babies. ❤️”
“The best dog sitter in town. He took care of our pup Cash. And sent updates and pictures throughout the day. Our pup had fun. Process was easy. Gave us peace of mind. Would 100% book again! Thanks Jeremy!!! He even gave our pup a new plush dog toy”
About: I've trained dogs my whole life! Love teaching them and creating a safe and loving environment for both you and them, it brings me joy I currently work at a school with special needs kids! I'm off at 2pm, from there on i spend my time training furry friends . I have a fenced house! 2 pets that will accompany your pet. I train them from behaviors to attention to making sure they are safe
“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!”
“Paris was great with our dogs. She stayed at our house and left it as clean as it was when we left. She kept in touch with us and sent pictures. Would definitely use her again.”
About: I’ve handled most animals. I’ve handled elderly. I’ve handled all arrangements of cats. I’m very much an animal lover and caregiver. Cats and dogs you name it. I love to keep my animals company give them comfort that they are in a loving home that treats them as they are superiors and class elites. I treat them my cat as superior and they typically are the ones monitoring and securing most if not all property management consultation and bookkeeping.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs growing up and have my own dog right now. Love him to death and love him like a child. :) I am currently active duty military and love to just spend my free time working out and playing with my dog. Would love to spend more time with other dogs! I always take my dog out for the restroom and to walk around the park and enjoy living life as a dog. Also love to play with my dog and get him excited over toys and treats.
“Angelee is awesome! I needed a dogsitter for a couple nights 1970's nd searched Rover. I found Angeles and she agreed to stay with them. I've had previous sitters who I had doubts about, but Angelee sent pictures, was there when she promised and truly cared for my dogs. When I got home, they were happy and they weren't stressed as they have been at times past. I cannot give enough stars for Angelee. She is dependable, honest, responsible...”
About: I absolutely adore making new pet-friends! I’ve always loved dogs and cats, and all animals really.. unfortunately I can’t have my own pets where I live, but that just means I have all the time to make new besties with yours! I prefer to watch your dog(s) and/or cat(s), or any pet for that matter, at your house, because I feel pets are more comfortable at home in their normal surroundings. I've been doing this for friends, coworkers, and word-of-mouth clients primarily for many years now, and I am known to get booked back to back for several months at a time. Most of my clients are in Los Angeles, though I am trying to garner more business in the IE since I recently moved to Rancho Cucamonga. I’ve watched dogs of all ages and sizes, cats of all levels of friendliness, fish, birds, lizards, even a pack of neighborhood stray cats (they were fixed and released back to the community they were found in). I love animals, always have, and I work from home so I am very flexible as far as availability. I just bring my work laptop wherever I go, and work from anywhere. I’ll keep your place safe and tidy while your gone, as well as your pets. I gather mail, water plants, take out/bring in garbage bins… I treat your home as though it belongs to a celebrity ☺️ I keep my rates fairly low because honestly, it’s fun for me. I also keep pet parents updated with photos and periodic status updates. Thanks for your consideration, can’t wait to hear from you! Shayla I work from home and if you book me, I’ll be working from your home, so it is very easy for me to tend to your pets at anytime, day or night. I cannot bring pets to my apartment, but I will keep your pet’s daily routine as close to normal as possible. I find this alleviates extra stress. I also stay overnight at your home, and i bring my own linens and towels and things, so that’s one less thing to worry about upon your return.
“Yu Jie was absolutely awesome, especially being available for me on such short notice. She pampered my bundle of joy, Spirit, by taking him on multiple walks, playing with him, and keeping him entertained. With all his energy, she made sure he stayed active and happy. She also made sure he ate at his appropriate time, which gave me peace of mind knowing he was well cared for. Yu Jie went above and beyond, by not just meeting his needs, but making him feel loved. She is welcoming, kind, and clearly has a natural connection with animals. I will definitely continue to trust her with my Spirit and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, caring, and attentive to take care of their furry babies.”
About: Hi! My name is Dominique and I’m excited to meet your pet(s)! My experience with animals includes owning dogs and pet sitting for family and friends. I am very comfortable around all dog breeds, sizes, and weights. I have a little less experience with kitties, but I love them just as much and they seem to warm to me quickly. I am comfortable caring for your pets in your home as well as dropping in for walks. I nannied for years in my twenties and my professional background is in social work. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you’d like to know anything else :) Right now I am studying to renew my ASW number (I’m in social work), so my schedule is quite flexible until further notice. When I do return to the social work field, I’m looking for part time work so I’ll still have time to take care of your fur babies! For your convenience and your pets’ comfort, I would prefer to provide services in your home. It’s important for me to understand each pet’s personality, preferences, temperament, and routine so that when I step in, things are seamless and stressless for all humans and animals. I am respectful of any home rules and I will leave your home as you left it.
About: Consider me a house sitter as well!! I have taken on additional responsibilities such as collecting mail, dusting, sweeping,watering plants, yard, moving vehicles. Your wish is my command. I currently work from home. I work for the County of San Bernardino so I went thru background and fingerprint for my current role. That also helps you feel comfortable watching your pet. I also know how stressful it can be to leave your pup while on vacation. I will send photos throughout your vacation. I’m comfortable administering medication and caring for animals with special needs.
“She was amazing! She gave constant updated pictures and was in perfect contact with me the whole time, she even played with the pups a bit and they are all tuckered our from their day of fun! She’s loving and sweet and I would defiantly have her watch them again!!”
“Air was so great!! Bubba can be aggressive, depending on how you approach him, and he immediately ran up to her and gave her a kiss 🥹 He won’t do a lot of things while I’m gone, but she got him to go outside, potty, fetch, and eat cheese - things he wouldn’t even do for my family off the bat. I appreciated the updates throughout the day, as well as the pictures. This was my first time using Rover, and I’m so glad that I chose Air to watch Bubba while I was visiting for a wedding 🩷 I would ABSOLUTELY rebook if I lived there!!”
“Second time I had Cielo housesit for my cats while I was away for the day. She did great - very responsive and provided several updates with pictures throughout the day. Definitely eased my worries and kept the peace between my pets while I was away. I highly recommend her without any hesitation! Thank you, Cielo!!!!”

Clarisse did such an amazing job as I knew she would, taking great care of my senior special needs Charlie today! Thank you again for keeping him safe and comfy and staying with him today so I can have a birthday out 🥰🙏🏻 Am always comfy knowing you are at home watching over him so he doesn’t miss us too much and his needs are well taken care of. He always loves having you around, Charlie loves you! Thanks again!
Rozi was a truly kind and caring soul who took wonderful care of our Mickey boy. She followed his medication schedule and all of our instructions. He is a special needs dog but she was very capable and professional. She kept me updated the whole time and I felt very at ease. We will definitely use her again in the future and I’d recommend her to anyone looking for care for their fur babies. ❤️
This young woman is what anyone would hope for when leaving your pet at home. She will be your pets best friend almost immediately. When you leave your home she provides constant reassurance that your pet is safe and comfortable through texts and photos. And she will leave your home looking as good or better than you left it. Her personality of sure confidence will leaves you comfortable at first meeting. I cannot give her a high enough recommendation. She represents the best that Life has to offer in memorable experiences. It is as if you hired a highly trained military person to guard and protect your animals and property. I just hope to meet her Mother someday just to say, thank you for raising such a wonderful genuine person.
Ann took incredible care of my two big dogs, a husky and Bernese Mountain Dog. I’m a very protective dog mom and it was hard finding a new sitter in a new area but Ann put my mind at ease with wonderful stories highlighting adventures of the day with photos, was very attentive and even started running my husky so she could settle. I can’t say enough good things. 10/10 recommend!
Leaving my dog home during trips is difficult for me and I’m always a bit worried not just for my very anxious dog, but for the sitter in her care (it’s not for the weak). I appreciate how much attention to detail Jennifer requests and takes into consideration. With my dog being more needy and requiring medication, I can trust that Jennifer is able to handle my baby’s quirks with care, patience, and expertise. Thank you for caring for Ella and keeping her as comfortable and calm as possible during my time away!
It was our first time with pet sitter and we were very nervous. But when we met Heather first time, we instantly knew she was the right person to take care of our kitties. She is well organized, took thorough notes. She shared lots of pictures and took very good care of our cats.
Yanely was amazing! Our original sitter canceled before our week long vacation and Yanely stepped in just a few weeks before. She did great with our high maintenance dog (picky eater, reactive towards other dogs on walks) and our low maintenance cat. We will 100% be booking her again in the future 😊. Thank you!!
Natalie is absolutely amazing! She took such great care of our little guy as well as our home. We received daily updates and photos that put our mind at ease. We will definitely be using her again in the future! Thank you for loving on our guy. We appreciate it so much!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Home Gardens is $49 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $83 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 6,192 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Home Gardens. 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 Home Gardens 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 Home Gardens 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 Home Gardens 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 Home Gardens. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
