About: What sets me apart is my experience handling multiple pets at once while still making sure each one gets individual attention and care. I’ve cared for several dogs and cats together in the same household, so I’m comfortable managing different routines, personalities, and energy levels. I have experience with young dogs and understand the patience and consistency they need. I’m happy to help reinforce basic training like leash manners, sit, stay, and good behavior during walks and feeding time. I also genuinely love going on long walks, so high-energy dogs get the exercise and mental stimulation they need, not just a quick potty break. Above all, I focus on keeping pets safe, happy, and comfortable by sticking to their routines and treating them like they’re my own. I am currently working part-time gigs after moving cross country in mid-2025 and have a very flexible schedule. I am able to make many times work and am able to sleep over or drop in as needed. I make sure to prioritize safety by anticipating potential dangers. My past experience as a daycare teacher has given me eyes on the back of my head and readiness for issues or safety concerns. I make sure spaces remain safe and comfortable for your pet and respect your guidelines and routines.
“Emily was so caring for our pets and left our house spotless. You wouldn't even know she stayed over for 3 nights. She checked in frequently and made sure to follow all of our instructions. We would love to hire Emily again to watch our pets.”
“Michelle was great! It was my first time with Rover, and she was patient and helped me with errors I had made. She also went above and beyond. I was booking last minute, and she went out of her way to do a meet and greet before the dog sitting date. She also asked to take the dog on a short walk, even though she didn’t have to. Would definitely book again with her.”
About: In the past, I was trained as a Customer Advisor at Petco and worked at a doggy daycare afterwards, making me well experienced in warning signs for any allergies or illnesses and much more detail oriented than your average sitter. If ever needed, I can also provide knowledge on what are the best products to recommend for your pet to fit their specific needs. I have had animals my whole life and I know what it feels like to be away from home and miss my pets dearly. When your dog or cat stays with me, I will keep you updated as much as possible. Sending pictures and/or videos to make you feel like your little ones are still with you and that you haven't missed a beat!
“Dylan was awesome. He took amazing care of our dog. It was clear to see that our sometimes nervous dog Max, was very comfortable. Thanks Dylan you made our trip worry free with your amazing care. 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼”
“We have had Katherine stay at our home with our doodle Freddie prior to this visit - she stayed for nearly 1 week with him and they bonded and grew even closer during that time. We appreciate her attentiveness and communication and will be working with her again in the future!”
About: I’m kind and patient with pets. I understand that they are not the same but do require the same type of care and love. I enjoy playing with them and giving them belly rubs and taking them for walks. I’m currently on summer breaks and would like to spend time caring for pets when their loved ones are away. It may be difficult on some families due to their schedule so I would like to make it easier on them. They way I would care for my clients pet at their home. I will check on them first and then see if they have water in their bowl. Will see if they require feeding. Lastly I will follow the instructions left my client. If they need a walk or play with them and keep them company.
“Angel did an amazing job watching my pup for 2 days at my place. She kept me up to date throughout each day and sent plenty of photos. I appreciated her responsiveness and Lucky seems to have enjoyed having her around! He received plenty of attention from Angel and kept him great company. My place was in order when I came back and I wouldn’t hesitate to book her for another dog/home sitting!”
About: I have been in the pet industry for over 20 years. I am a groomer, and have very high end clients. I do dog sitting for them for weeks at a time. All dogs are free to roam the house as long as they are house trained and get along with other dogs and a cat. Dogs are not caged or crated unless owner provided or requested. Our bedroom is large enough for 4-5 large dogs to sleep in on their own beds. All dogs eat at the same time everyday. Mornings around 7am, and afternoon around 5-530 pm. Water is always available. On hot days they will be enjoying 2 large dog pools to cool off in and play as long as possible. Pet care has been part of my daily routine since 2006. It's what I love and am passionate about. My life would be empty without dogs. Always home to keep an eye on them. I keep my clients up to date with daily pictures and updates of what their pet is up to.
“Georgina was absolutely exceptional while caring for our dog, Kobe, during our 13-day trip. From start to finish, she went above and beyond in every way. She carefully administered Kobe’s medication, followed all of our instructions to the letter, and treated him with so much love and attention—it gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Beyond pet care, Georgina took incredible care of our home as well. She watered our plants, brought in the mail, and managed the garbage—everything was spotless and perfectly maintained when we returned. Her attention to detail is truly unmatched. What stood out most was her communication. She kept us consistently updated with messages and lots of photos, which made being away so much easier. We always felt in the loop and confident that everything was being handled beautifully. Georgina is responsible, thoughtful, and incredibly thorough. We feel so lucky to have found her and she will absolutely be our go-to sitter moving forward. Highly, highly recommend!”
“Erin was great! Super communicative throughout the booking which we really appreciated. It was great to get regular updates on how things were going and what they had been up to. We had confidence that our animals were in great hands and we would absolutely book with Erin again!”
About: I am new to housesitting and pet sitting, but I am a very responsible and hard worker. I am reliable and trustworthy if there’s any specific way you want me to take care of your pet and watch over your home please let me know. I want you to feel at ease and have no worries, when you leave your pets at home in my care I have grown up with animals all my life. I’ve had chickens, hamsters, rabbits, dogs, different types of animals growing up. My parents were really good to me and bought me any pet. We wanted growing up. My dad grew up in a farm so he likes having animals around the house we’ve always had unique animals growing up here and there like peacocks, quails, and pigs. I’ve seen my parents how they will take care of the animals. I would have to take care of my dogs as well growing up with them recently we’ve had several puppies my brother and mother wanted dogs again, so I’ve been helping them taking care of those cleaning after them bathing them playing with them making sure they eat on time. Right now I just have a small pitbull four months old, it is my brothers , but I’ve been taking care of it for him here and there while he’s busy working. I am not working right now so I am available whenever you need me. I’m really looking for overnight sitting specifically so anything for the night shift would be good. I’m used to working overnights. I’ve had several jobs working at night so that doesn’t bother me. Just let me know how you’d like me to take care of your pets and your home. I’ll feed them whenever you want me to feed them play with them when you want me to play with them. i’ve had several jobs growing up in my life. I would walk them and feed them and bathe them right now I’m taking care of my brother’s four months pitbull. I gave her dog treats. I clean after them I throw the pads away if they go to the bathroom on the floor

“Another great sit with Hannah! She is so kind to our dear animals. A very conscientious housesitter. Didn’t have to worry about a thing while we were away.”
“I’m so grateful I found Grace as a sitter! The pets loved her. I was really appreciative of all the consistent she sent while I was on my trip. She was really attentive to what the pets needed and asked questions when necessary (really important to me). I also loved that she did care enough to set up a time to meet the pets and make sure she the right fit for them. I can tell she really loves animals. I’ll definitely be hiring her again when I needed another sitter!”
About: I’ve been around dogs and cats pretty much my whole life and have taken care of dogs for friends and family for years. I’m really comfortable around different types of dogs and understand how to read their behavior and approach them in a calm, respectful way. I genuinely enjoy being around animals and always make sure they feel safe, cared for, and well looked after. I’ve always been around pets growing up, so caring for them feels like a natural part of my routine. While I don’t currently have pets of my own, I regularly help friends and family by taking care of theirs. Whether it’s feeding, walking, or just spending time with them, I genuinely enjoy it and make it a consistent part of my daily and weekly schedule whenever the opportunity comes up. At the moment, I’m not able to host animals at my place of residence. I’m hoping that changes soon so I can incorporate pet care more into my daily routine, but for now I’m happy to provide care in your home.

FAQs for House Sitting - Kagel Canyon
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Kagel Canyon on Rover is $55.5 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 12,386 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Kagel Canyon. 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 Kagel Canyon 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 Kagel Canyon 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 Kagel Canyon 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.
