“Kaity did a great job taking care of our dogs and cat. They were happy and healthy when we got back from our trip. The pictures were especially appreciated. Thank you Kaity!”
“Cailin did such a good job with our high energy Frenchie pup! She was so flexible with our last-minute changes. She was also extremely proactive in communication and even sent up update pics. Can’t wait to book her again.”
“Kristi is wonderful! The moment she came to meet my two dogs, I knew she was a true animal lover. My dogs can be a bit overwhelming at first but her calmness was very evident. Her communication was excellent with several updates and pictures. I enjoyed my short trip so much more knowing my dogs were being taken care of so well. My home was so clean and my pups were happy when I got home. I will definitely use Kristi again!”
“Madison provided exceptional care for my pets and home. I am always anxious about leaving my pets with someone else, but Madison was extremely attentive and responsive. She consistently sent updates and photos, which helped ease my mind. I have tried pet resorts and boarding facilities in the past, but having a sitter in my home is always my preference. Madison not only took great care of my pets, but she also ensured my house was in excellent condition. She even went above and beyond by running my robot vacuum and washing the bedding. I am grateful for her thoughtfulness. I am already planning to use her services again next month and will definitely recommend her to my friends and neighbors.”
“Cassie was an amazing sitter for my pup. She was incredibly kind when I had to change the booking due to one of my dogs passing and she handled my grieving pup extremely well. Lots of pictures with a lovely update everyday to let me know how they were doing. I will definitely be booking with her again in the future! 100/10”

“Thank goodness we found Davalyn. We were worried we wouldn’t find anyone to replace our long term sitter due to our dog’s separation anxiety. Davalyn was happy to watch our dog in our home while we were out of town. Davalyn was detailed, communicative, trustworthy and kept the dog’s schedule. We came home to a happy dog and a well maintained house.”
About: I was always the one growing up that took on the caretaker role when it comes to animals. Making sure all animals are fed and have clean water and bowls. My favorite part of caring for pets is walks and playing with them. When my dog had babies I was there the entire time making sure mama was doing well, giving attention and making sure i could give support when needed. I grew up with multiple dogs at once and I understand it takes time and effort to care for them. I am available after 2pm monday through Fridays and on weekends I am free all day. I am looking for some companionship with cute dogs as I don't own a dog currently. I actually had an ankle injury in the beginning of this year and I am recovering well, just need extra cash to pay for some medical bills. I would love to spend my other free time spending it with your fur babies. I am new to rover app. Gaining your animals trust is very important to me. I will always be watching your animal when taken outside even if your yard is gated.
About: Animals have been a huge part of my life. I pay close attention to their needs and always give them the best care. I will make sure they are taken care of the best way possible I work full time but am available at night and durning the weekends. I can also swing but at any time to make sure they are happy. I will follow all instructions while watching your loved one in your home. I can also bring them to mine if needed for a short time.
“1 MILLION out of 5 STARS, HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Kambry is truly exceptional in every way! Our dogs mean the absolute world to us. With our children grown and out of the house, our two senior pups (13 and 14) are very much our babies. They experience significant anxiety when boarded, so for years we've had someone stay in our home whenever we travel. After almost 10 years with the same trusted sitter, moving to a new state and starting over with someone we'd never met was no small thing. Finding Kambry was an absolute blessing! My husband and I both have demanding executive careers, and we needed someone we could genuinely trust to stay with our pups and take care of our home while away on an important, nearly weeklong business trip. From our very first conversation through her thoughtful follow up after we returned, Kambry was outstanding. Incredibly responsive, thoughtful, professional, and genuinely kind. Her background in the military, fire service, and first responder training initially caught my attention, but it was the way she carried herself and cared for both our dogs and us as their pet parents that really set her apart. She's beyond capable and exceptionally conscientious, while still having the warmth and genuine love for animals that make someone a truly wonderful pet sitter. Her communication deserves its own five star review. Multiple times a day, without ever having to ask, she sent thoughtful updates with the best photos and videos. We could see how relaxed, happy, and loved our dogs were. For anyone who has ever spent a trip worrying about their pets, you know how priceless that is. We didn't spend a single moment wondering how things were going. Her PROACTIVE communication gave us complete peace of mind and clarity. And then there's the house. We'd been in our brand new home for less than two months, so having someone stay there was another leap of faith. Kambry treated it with the same care and respect she gave our dogs, even helping us navigate a few unexpected household matters while we were away. Our home was pristine when we returned, and she even left us a sweet note welcoming us home! What impressed us most was that Kambry didn't simply do everything we asked. She anticipated our needs, paid attention to the smallest details, and made the entire experience effortless. We were able to be fully present on our trip, knowing that everything we cared about most back home was in wonderful hands. Kambry is the rare combination of highly qualified, exceptionally reliable, and genuinely caring. Finding someone who inspires this level of trust and peace of mind is truly priceless. If you're fortunate enough to find an opening on her calendar, BOOK HER! She is absolutely be our first choice every time we travel.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 905 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Homedale. 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 Homedale 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 Homedale 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 Homedale 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.
