I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for my Natasha! Sarah was incredibly attentive, sending regular updates and adorable pictures throughout the stay. My Natasha was clearly happy, well cared for, and comfortable in their home. Sarah went above and beyond to ensure my Natasha routine was maintained, including daily walks and playtime. I’ll definitely be booking with Sarah again—highly recommend! Sarah 🐶✨

Our eperience with Jayna couldn't have been better! Jayna did way more than what was expected. Our baby girl (Lani) was spoiled and well taken care of. Jayna took Lani on her daily walks, snuggled her with blankets at night, sent photo updates of our pup twice a day, and left our home honestly, in better conditions than when we left it! Jayna went above an beyond by bringing in our mail, being on a look out for incoming packages, keeping our backyard grass clean, and leaving my kitchen counters spotless. Couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter. Thanks so much!

Victoria watched my sweet, anxious doggo for a quick weekend and was very wonderful! She took great care of her and gave my pup the time to warm up and met her where she was at. Definitely would use Victoria again and recommend her to anyone needing some great care/love of their pet!

Yesenia is fantastic! She cared for our kitties like they're her own. One, in particular, was going through some health challenges, and Yesenia took extra care to tend to her medication and special diet. She also played with them and kept us updated throughout, including lots of pictures.

Daisy was a fantastic house and pup sitter. She was super communicative, professional, and was so great with my rambunctious Australian Shepherd. On top all the great care for my pup, she left my house in great shape- clean, tidy. Will definitely hire again.

Our first time with Abigail as Zoey’s roommate for a week. We couldn’t have asked for s better experience. Abigail kept us up to date with photos and texts. We came home to a clean house, a happy dog and she even even laundered the sheets and remade the guest bed. Bonus is she is a student so she was home with Zoey most of the time. Definitely recommend her.

About: I have hands-on experience caring for pets through personal and family settings, including feeding, walking, basic grooming, playtime, and providing companionship. I am attentive, patient, and mindful of each pet’s unique needs and routines. I understand the importance of safety, consistency, and trust when caring for animals. What sets me apart is my empathy, reliability, and genuine love for animals. I take the time to observe behavior, respond calmly to challenges, and ensure pets feel comfortable and cared for. I am highly adaptable, organized, and committed to following instructions closely while maintaining clear communication with pet owners. I treat every pet with the same care and respect I would give my own. I feel I can fit pet care into my weekly/daily routine because I’m free most of the time and Ive been looking for something productive too do that I’d actually enjoy I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and respect, whether they are in my home or a client’s home. I focus on creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment by following routines, paying close attention to each pet’s needs, and ensuring they feel secure and cared for. I handle pets gently, maintain cleanliness, and prioritize their well-being, happiness, and safety at all times.

About: I have had a pet my whole life and even volunteered at the animal shelter having a strong passion for animal care. While volunteering I learned how to train pets, be a responsible, and responsive animal care taker. I have two dogs Toxi and Epsy, they are currently keeping my parents company as i recently moved out of my family home. I miss them dearly and love having pets in my home. I will give any animal the love and care as they are family. In my past I have cared for elderly, post surgery, and disabled dogs. I am very caring and would make any animal as comfortable as possible in any situation. I am studying for engineering certifications and have free time all week all day making me very available and willing to go on multiple walks throughout the day. My home has a gated area and pet welcome home with food and water bowls along with other dog essentials in my home like toys and treats. I have a gated front and back yard which are open for any furry friends coming into my home. I live in a very walkable neighborhood that can accommodate long walks.

Olivia was perfect in every way! Especially because it was my first time leaving my puppy for an overnight trip. Her communication, presence and genuine care allowed me to feel confident going away. She also made it feel so natural to synch up with the rhythm and schedule my pup and I had going which I have found rare, but so essential. And he is a growing 5-6 month old puppy. I will absolutely reach out to her first the next time I go away or need a sitter for my pup.

I am beyond happy with the service Jalen provided and will definitely be booking with him again.

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I have over 9 years of experience training service dogs of all ages. Through my training experience, I have worked with puppies, adult dogs, and senior dogs, helping them build confidence, learn new skills, and receive the care they need. What sets me apart is my hands-on experience with a wide variety of dogs and my ability to adapt to each pet's unique personality and needs. I have also cared for my own foster dog, which taught me patience, consistency, and the importance of creating a safe and loving environment for every animal. I am comfortable administering medications and following specific care instructions to ensure your pet stays healthy and happy while you're away. Whether your pet needs extra attention, exercise, medication, or simply lots of love and companionship, I am committed to providing the highest quality care. I pride myself on being warm, friendly, dependable, and attentive. When your pet is with me, they will be treated like family and receive plenty of affection, enrichment, and personalized care. My goal is to make both you and your pet feel comfortable, confident, and stress-free. 🐾 I currently work part time, so I have plenty of time to play with pups! I’m super flexible and can fit in almost anything in my schedule! Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in a spacious home with a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely play, explore, and get plenty of exercise. I also have an 8-month-old service dog in training who is extremely friendly, well-socialized, and enjoys being around other dogs. With over 9 years of experience training service dogs, I understand the importance of maintaining routines, reinforcing positive behaviors, and providing attentive care. I carefully supervise all interactions between pets and make sure each dog feels comfortable in their environment. Whether I am caring for pets in my home or in a client's home, I treat every animal as if they were my own. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, exercise needs, medication administration, and any special requests. My goal is to create a safe, loving, and stress-free experience for both pets and their owners while providing regular updates and communication throughout their stay.

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!

FAQs for House Sitting - Jamul

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Jamul on Rover is $38.71 per night (as of June 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 June 2026, there are 5,681 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Jamul. On Rover:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% 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.
