“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.”
“The communication and updates were exceptional!!! I felt So confident that our pups were being treated well and getting all the love! My rescue pup has never let anyone besides my partner and I touch her, and this weekend tee sent a video of her petting the pup on her bed! Will 100% hire her every time we need pet sitting/drop in needs!”
“This was my first time using Rover, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the experience. I was a little nervous at first, but Jalen made the entire process easy and stress-free. He was professional, reliable, and showed genuine care for my puppy. I felt completely comfortable knowing my Oli was in good hands. I am beyond happy with the service Jalen provided and will definitely be booking with him again.”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have been caring for other families’ dogs for the past 9 years! I have experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities, and I truly love making sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I have two White Labs of my own, so I’m very familiar with the daily responsibilities of pet care, including feeding, walking, bathing, and giving dogs plenty of attention and affection. From playful puppies to senior dogs, I’m comfortable adapting to each dog’s individual needs and routine. I understand that pets are family, and I’ll treat your furry family members with the same love, patience, and care I give my own! I have a flexible schedule that allows me to make time for your pets and their individual needs. I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual routine, whether that means daily walks, drop-in visits, feeding times, or overnight stays. I understand how important consistency is for pets, so I’ll do my best to keep them comfortable and stick to their normal schedule. I’ll always make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, exercise, and care! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow each pet’s usual routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and any special care they need. In a client’s home, I do my best to keep their pets comfortable in their familiar environment and stick to their normal schedule. I provide plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and patience, and I always respect the owner’s home and instructions. My goal is to give every pet the same love and care I give my own two dogs!
“Alexis was amazing! I've always done check-ins and never used house-sitting, and Alexis was so helpful and responsive during the booking process, along with the meet-and-greet and planning process. She also communicated frequently during my trip, and as a bonus, she made a gorgeous drawing of my sweet pup, and left it as a surprise. My next house/pet sitter WILL be her!”
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.
“Martilia stayed with my dog Bailey over the weekend and did an incredible job. She stayed with Bailey a lot of the time inside, hung out with her, let her out to use the bathroom regularly, kept to her feeding schedule and gave her medicine. She appeared to actually enjoy hanging out with Bailey and sent me pictures of her hanging out with her in the living room and let her hang out with her in her bedroom . I really appreciated the extra care given to my senior dog who likes the attention and care! I would definitely utilize her again and recommend her to others. She also left the spare room in excellent condition and even did the sheets and made the bed before she left, which was totally unnecessary but very helpful and kind.”
About: Hey there! I’m Brittany, I offer pet sitting, boarding, walks, drop-ins and housesitting. Pet CPR and first aid certified, insured and bonded. From kittens and puppies to seniors and pets with complex medical needs, I provide attentive, knowledgeable care so you can be away with complete peace of mind. I’m not your average pet sitter, juggling a dozen cats and dogs. I only care for pets from no more than two families at once, but usually just one, so your pet gets my full attention and becomes part of our extended family. Think concierge-style care, calm, personal, and tailored to your pet. I’m a proud dog mommy to my 10 year old Chihuahua, Wolfgang, so I know how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your furry family members. Medical and special-needs experience: Cats: kitten care, diabetes, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), kidney disease and kidney failure, thyroid disease, and anxiety Dogs: puppies, seniors, seizures and epilepsy, IVDD, IMHA, arthritis, separation anxiety, and allergies My vocational nursing training and pet CPR and first aid certification, shape how I care for pets. I follow feeding schedules and medication instructions precisely, and I know what to watch for: changes in appetite, energy, or behavior that can signal a problem. If anything seems off, I contact you right away. I’m reliable and punctual, and I send regular photos and updates so you always know how your pet is doing. Whether your pet loves walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having someone nearby, my goal is for them to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I treat every pet with the kindness, patience, and attention I’d want for my own. I’d love to meet yours! I care for pets from no more than two families at any given time, and usually just one. That’s intentional. It lets me plan each day around your pet’s routine instead of fitting them in between other bookings. I’m available every day of the week for boarding, house sitting, daycare, drop-in visits, and walks. Meals, medications, walks, and rest happen at the times your pet is used to, so their days feel familiar even while you’re away. Your dog stays in my house with a fenced yard, in a calm residential area with walking trails nearby. It’s a small, quiet home, best for small and medium dogs with a calm to moderate energy level. I unfortunately do not accept aggressive or reactive dogs, which keeps every guest and my senior Chihuahua safe and relaxed. I keep doors and gates secure, always use a leash outdoors, and follow your routine, whether that means crating or joining us on the couch.
“Kelsey did a great job watching our Dogs Sophie and Raleigh. Sophie is a Malinois and a bit difficult for new people to deal with. Kelsey was patient with Sophie and they became fast friends. My wife and I really liked that Kelsey works remotely and was able to be around the dogs most of the day at our house while we were gone. Our house and our dogs were in great shape when we got back.”
“Vannessa and Jason stayed in our home to watch our 2 dogs for 4 nights. They did an amazing job! They were very communicative, sent us lots of photos and updates and kept our home spotless. In fact, they left the house cleaner than when we had left. I highly recommend Vannessa and Jason!”
“Sarah is truly a gem! She immediately hit it off with our 2-year old golden retriever Jackson. She took him on several walks throughout the day and we could see from the pictures she sent that our boy was having a great day while we were away. Sarah is warm, friendly, reliable and clearly loves caring for our furry companions. We highly recommend Sarah and will definitely ask her to stay with Jackson again.”
About: "THE GREATNESS OF A NATION AND ITS MORAL PROGRESS CAN BE JUDGED BY THE WAY ITS ANIMALS ARE TREATED". -GANDHI --------------->>Hablo Español<<-------------- Important fact about me: "I treat all animals with dignity, respect and care". -On that note, I will say the following: I am a life-long dog owner. Being a dog walker and sitter really does sound like the perfect PT job. My current job does not involve working with animals, although I wish it did. What I do for a living is in the arts field, I am a graphic designer who also does custom wood work on the side. -I do have pets of my own, 1 dog and 1 cat. I have always had a pet companion by my side. You can rely on me to take care of your dogs as if they were my own. I am very patient, loving and responsible towards other living creatures, specially dogs. -I can always send you photos and videos of your furry friend while we're out for a walk. Thank you, please consider me as your dog walker and sitter. =) PS I like to keep fit, so if your dog needs more of a run than a walk, I can do that too. I work full time but get home early, I am able to take dogs out for a run or a walk as it keeps me moving and I get to spend time with dogs which I love. My 13 year old labrador passed away not too long ago and miss having a dog at home. I have 2 cats at home right now, I understand the different psychology between dogs and cats, I like to think that they understand me and I understand them. If I am at a clients home, I first make sure I close every door behind me. I am very detail oriented and great at following instructions.

“100% recommend Alexzandria!! From the time I started messaging her she asked all the right questions about my dogs. She was very flexible and communicated well! I got daily updates without prompt! I was worried about finding someone for 2 dogs, especially one being a puppy but this worked out perfectly!”
About: Hello my name is Marie! I am a 25 year old college student, I have 5 pets of my own that I love dearly. I have lots of experience with animals. I grew up helping my grandmother care for rescue kittens and foster kittens. I would often help with socializing them. I would assist my grandmother with bottle feeding kittens anywhere from a couple weeks old to when they start weaning off of bottles. Through out my life I have had many different kinds of animals. (Dogs, cats, rats, snakes, hermit crabs, fish, tarantulas, etc.) also in 2024 I had an internship with the San Diego zoo and Wildlife alliance. I worked with the birds and I would clean enclosures, clean any dishes or appliances used for the different kinds of bird feed, I also would make the birds different enrichment every day. I have a huge passion and love for all animals with all of that said, I promise to care for your beloved furry family members in the most respectful, caring and loving manner. Please consider my support and assistance! I often have free time and I am willing to help any day of the week or weekend at any time. Every Friday I have an appointment, but with enough notice in advance I can do Fridays. Due to having my own animals and roommates. I would be unable to care for your pets in my own home. I am willing to travel and care for your pets in the comfort of their own home. I am also willing to meet before any planned pet sitting days so you can get to know me and decide if you are comfortable and want to move forward.
About: I bring a calm, dependable approach to pet care. I’m an EMT with training in K9, CPR, and basic first aid, and I’m especially patient with both puppies and senior dogs. I also have a mini Bernedoodle of my own, so I understand the level of care, attention, and love every dog deserves. I work rotating day shifts anywhere form 6-12 hours starting early in the morning. When I am not working I hike and go on runs to stay active. Transparency is very important to me. If I’m unsure about something, I prefer to ask for clarification rather than make assumptions. Animals are our best friends, and I believe in kindness, patience, and clear communication. I also take pride in having integrity when it comes to following directions exactly as given to ensure each pet receives the best possible care.
“After years of searching for a trustworthy, personable, and knowledgeable in-home pet sitter, we are so grateful to have found Anna. Anna is dependable, caring, and has all the skills needed to confidently care for multiple dogs. From the moment she met our pups, she formed an immediate connection with each of them, despite their very different personalities, preferences, and obedience levels. It's clear that she genuinely loves animals, and they love her right back. We truly can't say enough wonderful things about Anna—although we'd rather not praise her too much because we'd love to keep her all to ourselves! Thank you, Anna, for giving us the peace of mind to travel without a single moment of worry, knowing that our pups and our home are receiving the very best care!”
“Stephanie did a great job house sitting for us on short notice. The dogs, the cat, and the house were all well taken care of. We got updates and photos daily and felt comfortable right from our meet and greet. We'd definitely book again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Jamul
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 of House Sitting in Jamul is $39 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $46 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.
As of October 2026, there are 5,614 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Jamul. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
