“Debra did a great job watching our senior dog (who needs some extra care) at our home. She arrived on time, left the house clean, and was quick to respond to messages. Thank you!”
“Chrystal is awesome! She was so sweet with our senior dog, Charlie, and took such good care of him. She even brought him some homemade treats! She ensured she had plenty of time for our meet and greet, so I'd have a chance to get to know her a little before committing to having her care for Charlie in our home. I really appreciated that. She was very respectful and flexible, and checked in about our return time, to make sure Charlie would have the care he needed if we returned later than expected.”
About: I’ve been pet sitting for friends for years. I’ve learned that pets have different needs and try to keep their routine as normal as possible. I work full time Mon-Fri but would be available to visit and provide care afterwards. I am flexible and available most weekends. Open to overnights. I respect the home I’m visiting and will only access areas that are permitted. I also follow provided instructions to ensure pets don’t get stressed.
“Chelsi was great. We we out for about 7 hours while she watched Sheilah. She sent us updates and pictures. Since we were out of town, it was reassuring to have such a competent, confident and friendly sitter . Nothing but praise for Chelsi. We will use her again if the situation arises.”
About: I've had dogs and many other pets my entire life- a boxer, pugs, Akita, Cairn, and a terrier mix with health issues, requiring extra care. I'm recently retired, so pet sitting will be my full time priority. I will devote all my care and attention to your pets, plants and garden. As an avid walker and hiker, I especially enjoy caring for dogs who love outdoor time and exercise. I also love exploring new communities and being in nature, so pet sitting is a great fit-it allows me to care for animals while experiencing new places in a meaningful way. I no longer have pets of my own and truly miss the companionship they bring, which makes caring for animals especially rewarding to me. Spending time with pets feels grounding and joyful, and I genuinely value creating a calm, reassuring presence for them while their people are away
“From the first moment we met Ann it was obvious how much she cares about animals and the sense of trust and responsibility that comes with looking after somebodies pet. We felt so relaxed when we were away because Ann kept us up to date everyday and sent pictures. We came home to a clean tidy house, and a very happy little cat. Thank you Ann!”
“Our dogs were well cared for by Mike! When we got home from our trip the pups were happy, the house was clean, and while we were gone his communication was excellent. Will book Mike again!”
About: I’m a proud “dog uncle” to dozens of pups. With experience in raising and co-owning dogs, I treat every dog with love, patience, and fun. My schedule is currently very flexible for virtually any day (other than when I’m out of town of course). Happy to discuss what you’re looking for and accommodating all I can. I have a cat so I’m not able to take pets to my home since it’s also the kitty’s home and I don’t want to put her out. That being said, I’ve taken care of many pets at others people’s houses and I’m available to walk dogs while also providing some training if desired.
“Victoria was absolutely fabulous! So kind and attentive to our anxious gal. She went above and beyond to take her on walks and adventures. Our house was clean and our pup was very well taken care of! Highly recommend.”
“We were SO surprised and delighted with how Bonbon IMMEDIATELY fell in love with Arissa! Clearly, she has an animal-loving heart. She sent plenty of much-appreciated pictures and she was patient and loving as Bonbon went through her initial confusion and settled into "happy to be with a good person"! Will definitely call on Arissa again! :-)”
About: I've had dogs and cats all my life and I'm very sensitive and attuned to their needs. I love walking dogs, throwing balls/frisbees as well as cuddling on the couch. I can play with cats for hours and love scratching them behind the ears until they purr. I offer short or long walks or if you have a more active pet, hikes on the SB trails or visits to the Douglas Family Preserve. For housesitting, I can guarantee your pet will be given lots of love and attention and that their routines will be honored. I teach part-time at SB City College but have a flexible schedule. I look forward to meeting your fur-baby! I am currently teaching part-time on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I have availability on MWF and most weekends. I can walk dogs in the mornings or afternoons on any of these days. I can housesit every night but cannot stay during the day on T/TH. I care for pets at client's homes. I am an early riser and I tend to your pet's needs first thing in the morning. I take dogs on potty walks right away but can also take them on longer walks as well. I am very clean and always follow directions exactly (I'm a teacher :). You can expect to come home to a clean house and a happy pet!
“Julia was all one could ever ask for in a pet sitter. I think she really liked my pups and they her. My kitchen was cleaner when i got home than it was when i left. I could not recommend her more.”
About: I have experience volunteering and animal shelters, dog sitting for friends and family, and I fostered a dog while I was in college! I love all animals and would love the opportunity to care for your pets! I am in graduate school at USC for Occupational Therapy with a flexible schedule and free availability friday-sunday! Multiple visits to the house each day and available for overnight pet sitting as well! I follow owners’ instructions carefully and prioritize each pet’s routine, comfort, and safety. I am always available to contact and send pictures of how your pet is doing! I care for every pet like it’s my own!
About: I’ve grown up around dogs, young and old, and think the absolute world of these beautiful animals. I recently parted ways with my soul dog when he passed in March and have missed him every moment since. Despite this loss, I have not lost my love for dogs. Caring for your baby would be an absolute privilege and joy for me, and I promise to love and look out for them as my own. I work in home health healthcare but am typically available every morning before 10am and every afternoon after 4pm. My days can be flexible where I can check in periodically as well— I am happy to coordinate as needed. I’m also off every Wednesday and am available over overnight stays. I welcome dogs into the home as well and am always willing to take them out to the beach, on trails, and any adventures in general!
About: I understand that your fur babies are your best friends, and they deserve the very best care while you’re away. With over 10 years of pet sitting experience, I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all breeds and sizes, bringing compassion and love to every animal I meet! I am available morning, afternoon, and evening, most weekdays and weekends. I’m fully dedicated to pet care, so your fur babies always comes first. When caring for pets in your home, I follow daily routines and house rules to keep things as normal as possible for your pet. I understand that familiar surroundings help reduce stress, and I make sure everything stays tidy and just as you left it.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Hope Ranch
We just had Zoey stay at our house for three nights with our big dog - she was AMAZING! Flexible, thoughtful, punctual, communicative, respectful, responsible… The list goes on! She really went above and beyond, and totally exceeded our expectations. We felt so comfortable and relaxed being away, knowing that Zoey was going to be there with our girl. She’s a natural “dog person” too, very gentle and kind, caring for our dog like she was her own. We will be eager to have her back whenever we leave town next! Thank you, Zoey!
Deborah watched our dogs with short notice because of an unexpected medical appointment. She was flexible and calm in learning about our dogs. Our dogs liked her immediately and were very comfortable with her. We appreciated her frequent updates and came home to two very happy dogs. We highly recommend her.
Hanna is always our first choice when it comes to pet sitting! We were SO thrilled to have her back and would recommend Hanna to anyone and everyone. We had just adopted a kitten and wanted someone who could help out if there were any issues with her integrating with our adult cat. Hanna was super communicative and we had 0 concerns that they were being well taken care of and looked out for. And we once again came back to a house that was even cleaner than we left it!! Hanna truly goes out of her way to make sure that both you and your pets are happy and cared for. We couldn't recommend her more!
Chelsi was great. We we out for about 7 hours while she watched Sheilah. She sent us updates and pictures. Since we were out of town, it was reassuring to have such a competent, confident and friendly sitter . Nothing but praise for Chelsi. We will use her again if the situation arises.
We needed someone to care for our super senior 17 year old that needs multiple oral medications, to be carried up and down steps, and occasionally has accidents in the house and Madison was up for the task for all of it. She took great care of our pup and our home while she stayed here. She was communicative, punctual and responsible. We will definitely use her again in the future.
Jane took really great care of my reactive pup during a longer stay. She communicated well and kept me informed about a stomach upset my pup had while I was gone, which luckily only lasted a day, as well as any reactions that occurred while walking my dog. Will definitely rebook in the future when needed
This is our third time having the pleasure of Ann watching our cat Nico and we cannot say enough good things about her. Nico absolutely adores her and it is clear that she loves him too. She provides regular updates and keeps the house spotless. We always feel completely at ease knowing Nico and our home are in such good hands. I truly cannot recommend her enough. Ann is wonderful.
We're counting our blessings that we found Jordan! In addition to being wonderfully sweet, she was extremely attentive and communicative. Our two dogs are great.....and quirky! She handled them beautifully and checked in with us as needed to ask questions or to let us know her game plan. Our dogs absolutely loved her. And this was the first time my husband was completely relaxed on our getaway, knowing that they were in Jordan's capable and loving hands!
Kyla took such great care of my pup and home. She was communicative throughout with updates / photos of him, which is greatly appreciated! She asked questions and listened to all my care tips on his likes/dislikes/personality. Highly recommend and would love to have her watch Charley again since they got along well!

FAQs for House Sitting - Hope Ranch
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Hope Ranch on Rover is $67.71 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 736 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Hope Ranch. 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 Hope Ranch 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 Hope Ranch 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 Hope Ranch 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 Rover Guarantee , 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Hope Ranch. On Rover:
- 97% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
