“We could not have been happier with the help Courtney provided with our pups. She took great care of them, and they have never been away from all of us overnight. They were well taken care of, and Courtney even provided notes on work we can continue to do with our puppy. We will be bringing Courtney back again. Our dogs love her, and she is amazing at what she does.”
“This was Sarah’s first stay with Bunny and she did great, kept us informed, kept the house tidy and when we returned, Bunny acted like we had never left, she obviously received her usual amount of spoiling. So glad we can count on Sarah for our longer trip next month!”
“Rae did a great job with our little girl. She spent lots of time with her and got to know her well. She sent us photo and video updates daily. We will use her again.”
“Emily did a great job with our dogs for a week over the Christmas holiday. She provided daily photo updates and cleaner the room and bathroom she stayed in before we returned. We are appreciative of her care and attention to Rosie and Wesley!”
About: Hi! My name is Diana. I am a caring and responsible pet lover living in San Diego. I have experience caring for my own dog and understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and comfortable. Your pet will receive lots of attention, love, and care in a calm home environment. I welcome small and friendly dogs and will treat them like family. I am home most of the time, so I have plenty of time to care for your pets. I can provide regular potty breaks, feeding, playtime, walks, and lots of attention throughout the day. I am available on both weekdays and weekends. I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable home environment for pets. I have a fenced yard and always supervise pets carefully. I follow each owner’s feeding, walking, medication, and care instructions. If pets need to be separated for safety or comfort, I have enough space to keep them in separate rooms.
About: I absolutely love taking care of my dogs and I treat any pets just as I do my own. I was especially drawn to Rover after long-term dog sitting these 2 wonderful Dobermans, it made me want to create even more special bonds just like that. I am genuinely so happy spending time around animals… I have always taken up dog sitting opportunities for family or friends and now I would like to extend my love out to your pets as well!🩷🫂 I am dedicated to giving your pup the best care possible. I am super flexible and currently offering dog walking, drop in visits, and house sitting during the week and on weekends!! Check my calendar for specific availability. I am used to incorporating 1-3 dogs + a cat into a daily routine (for several years). I really enjoy long walks and playing outside or even napping with my dogs. I have unconditional love ready to give to any pet… you are doing me a favor by allowing me the opportunity to get to know and love your fur baby🥹🫶 I will always make sure that your pet and I are both respectful of house rules while still having fun. I do try to work on small behavioral training such as sit and stay on a daily basis. I will always be on top of it to make sure your dog stays on schedule and give endless cuddles so they stay happy as well.
“Tally was great with my chocolate lab who has separation anxiety. She was attentive and gave him lots of love and hugs. My house was immaculate when I came home after a 4 day trip. Highly recommend Tally!”
About: Growing up surrounded by a variety of animals has given me a deep understanding of their care, behavior, and needs. Over the years, I have had the privilege of caring for a diverse range of animals, including canines, equines, goats, reptiles, and arachnids. My current "fur family" includes four dogs—Emma and Levi (Border Collies), Strauss and Mazi (Belgian Malinois)—as well as two cats, Ferb (Domestic Shorthair) and Phineas (Domestic Longhair), and two horses, Chester (Quarter Horse x Belgian Cross) and Maggy (Thoroughbred). Throughout my life, I have gained hands-on experience in a variety of animal care tasks, from feeding, watering, and providing exercise, to administering medical care, cleaning, and conducting regular health checks. I have also cared for animals in various settings, including on my property and in clients' homes, ensuring their well-being and comfort while their owners are away. My availability for pet care services is highly flexible and can be tailored to meet the unique needs of both you and your pets. Whether it's daily visits or last-minute requests, I prioritize making myself available to ensure your pets receive the care and attention they deserve. Providing reliable and consistent care is my main focus, and I understand the importance of being adaptable to your schedule. Your pets' well-being is always my top priority. I take great pride in providing exceptional care for animals, treating each one as if they were my own family. Whether it’s ensuring they receive plenty of exercise, keeping their living spaces clean and comfortable, or offering lots of love and attention, I am dedicated to creating a safe and nurturing environment for all of them. This commitment to high-quality care extends to all pets I look after. When entrusted with your animals, I will approach their care with the same level of attention, compassion, and respect. I take the time to understand each pet’s individual needs and routines, ensuring they feel comfortable and secure while you're away. With me, you can rest assured knowing your pets are in loving hands.
“Left on vacation confident Erica could easily manage our rescue dog who is mostly sweet, but has some behavior issues. One of which is attacking our cats. Erica took great care with giving medications, keeping the dogs and cats separate in a professional and loving way.”
About: I have had pets all my life, from dogs, birds, fish, and have 4 cats of my own at home. I love animals, and have worked with pets with health problems, senior pets, young puppies and kittens, and am not afraid to take on any of these challenges. I don't see it as a challenge! I have open availability, so I can drop in and spend time with your pets whenever you're needing it. I am happy to scoop litter boxes, or clean up after dogs as well. I am happy to feed, water, and play with your pets while you're away. I feed our cats twice a day, and they always have access to fresh water, and I play with them every day.
“I highly recommend Sabrina! She took excellent care of our dog Olive and our house. Olive absolutely loves Sabrina so I know she is getting the best care possible when we are away. Thank you, Sabrina!”
“Brandy was really wonderful with Angus, our reactive border collie mix. She was calm, cool, and collected as he barked at her until he relaxed. She was just what he (and we) needed in a dog sitter! She kept us updated with photos of him lounging around the house—all the proof we needed that she had earned his friendship.”
“Bobbie S is an amazing dog sitter. She took such good care of our dogs and followed our instructions to the letter. Our dogs were in such a relaxed and happy mood when we returned just as if we had been there ourselves. 6/5 stars.”

“Jalen did a good job staying with my dog over the winter holidays. He gave her her anti-seizure meds twice a day, walked her, and sent regular updates. Having an older dog who needs medications, what I cared about the most is her safety, and I felt comfortable leaving her with Jalen.”
“Michaela was great with our gentle giants. They typically are timid and bark at new people for a while after entering the home, but when she came in, they took so quickly to her and my most fearful and timid dog did not bark at her nonstop. He actually went up to her quicker than any other dog sitter previously. Michaela sent updates throughout the visit and kept me up to date. The dogs really seemed to like her which was such a blessing. Having 3 large dogs can be intimidating, but Michaela was at ease and did a wonderful job. I definitely would recommend her and will use her again in the future.”

Noralee went above and beyond with my dog Jolie: health issues flared and she was on it; picked up needed meds at Vet., gave those meds and Jolie is resistive to those. I was far away and appreciated her caring and diligence. I myself fell ill so returned early which reduced her days, thank you very much. I will hopefully have Jolie better dialed in health wise next time!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Jamul on Rover is $38.71 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 5,639 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Jamul. 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 Jamul 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 Jamul 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 Jamul 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.

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.
