“Alexandra and Kelsey are amazing!! They kept my dogs entertained, safe, and happy during a two-week vacation. I came home to a clean house, too! They kept me updated with photos and messages the whole trip. Highly recommend working with them!!”
“Rebekah did an excellent job caring for my dog at my house while I was away. She kept me updated with pictures every evening. There was good communication thru the whole process. I have already booked her again for an upcoming house sitting. Highly recommend!”
“Sadie really went above and beyond! Our dog unfortunately lost the ability to walk while we were out of town. Sadie was so kind to him and helped him move around and get outside. She really cared for him and made him comfortable. Thank you again Sadie. We are so grateful.”
About: Animal care and welfare are values and skills that I was raised with. My family has a long history of adopting strays as well as keeping watch over the furred companions of others. I've been taking care of animals for as long as I can remember. I take pride in making sure the animal members of a family are cared for with compassion, honesty and fun. I'm very adaptable in terms of regiment, having served a wide arrange of clients for cats and dogs alike. I've done overnight work as well as sitting gigs that were requested as drop-in, drop-out. My focus is to understand the individual needs of each pet and make sure I can give them the best experience they can have while their families are away. My weekly schedule is very open so I can easily make sure your animal companions are safe and well cared for. I've grown up with dogs and cats, and have an understanding each individual animal has their own needs. My experience usually involves going to a pets home to make sure they are cared for in their familiar environment. I always check with clients ahead of time as to what their companions need. Even if it is a simple drop in, drop out feeding, I always make sure to spend a little extra time to make sure they know they are cared for. Sometimes a cat wants to play after eating. I can care for animals with a variety of needs, ranging from older dogs who would rather just have belly rubs, younger dogs who need lots of play time, or even cats who need different environments; indoor or outdoor. I have feed many pets who have a lot of different dietary needs and can easily adapt to make sure they are all fed well.
“After Ember came to meet my doggie Stella and I we had complete confidence that Ember would take good care of my doggie and my home. She did not disappoint. Communication was great and she sent fotos which were worlds better than any I have ever been able to take whilst holding her on leash. Stella is a rescue who can be anxious, but she really liked Ember and was comfy with her. I will certainly seek Ember out next time I go out of town. Thanks, Ember!”
About: Hello! My name is Haley Rodden and I’m an experienced house/pet sitter and dog walker. My partner Brandon and I can board dogs and cats at our beautiful home with a fenced backyard. I can also do check ins, walks, or spend the night. I have experience with dogs, cats, chickens, and fish and love animals! I would be happy to provide references. I’m currently an assistant teacher at Glen Paul from 8:30 to 3. I have lots of breaks throughout the year though and will give your pet all the attention it needs before and after work. Whatever service I am providing I will treat your pet like family and spoil them as much as possible! I want them to be happy and comfortable.
About: I grew up with pets of all kinds in my house. We currently have 3 dogs and 1 cat, and my step dad is a dog trainer so I have a bit of knowledge regarding that subject as well. I am experienced in walking, bath, and play time with all sorts of animals, not just cats and dogs. I have experience with horses, tortoises, rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs etc. Starting in January 2026 I will be a student at Cal Poly majoring in chemistry! I have class for 4 hours Monday-Wednesday and Friday. I teach dance classes for 1-3 hours Tuesday-Wednesday evenings. My weekends are completely available! I am firm in my idea that animals need lots of attention, exercise and play time. I will listen to what your pet tells me they need whether it’s a cuddle, a walk, or a potty break!
“Ezra was the best dog and apartment sitter we could’ve asked for. I didn’t have to worry about my pup because I knew Ezra was taking care of her. She sent photo updates, always responded, and handled complications like a pro. She is lovely, and I will definitely come back to Ezra if I need dog sitting or dog walking again :)”
About: I have taken care of senior small dogs, many cats, fish, bearded dragons, and even dubia roaches. I'm good at cleaning food and water dishes, and good at cleaning after pets. I can't even begin to count how many times I've clean up poop. I always bring supplies with me when walking dog like doggy bags and dog pepper spray. I bring the spray because I have encountered many mean dogs while walking my own dog. You can count on me to protect your pet while we are out walking. I only have 2 classes this semester of college and one of them is online. I'm pretty much free the entire week, unless I'm out of town or have another commitment. I have a dog, I walk her at least few times a week, I feed her home-made food, and she has lots of room in the yard, at night I bring her in and she has her own very nice bed. I have a very clean room; I vacuum every week. I have a bearded dragon, she eats a clean verity of veggies and insects, I give her a bath once a week and I make sure her enclosure is clean. My goldfish eat high-quality food and their tank is cleaned once a week.
About: I am compassionate, attentive, and communicative when it comes to caring for your beloved pets. I care for your pets every need and make sure they are taken care of gently and are given lots of attention, affection, and treats. Your pets safety and comfort is my highest priority. I am willing to work around your schedule to meet your needs in a way that works the best for you. When house sitting, I will spend as much time at your home with your pet as I can, as well as taking care of any other obligations you need me too. I will set my daily schedule around our planned walk or drop in visit to make sure you and your pet are accommodated. I care for pets in home according to their owners instructions. I have no problem giving your pets medicine or following special requests. When I am watching your pet, I make sure that they are comfortable and happy at all times. I follow the routine they are used to as outlined by their owners instructions, and make sure they have had their meals for the day, walks, and bedtime all according to plan. I send updates and photos to the owner frequently, and when I receive a message from the client, I answer right away. I truly love caring for animals and their comfort, happiness, and safety is my biggest priority.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Humboldt Hill is $38 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $45 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.

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 Humboldt Hill 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 Humboldt Hill 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 Humboldt Hill 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
