“Celia was thoughtful, asked thorough questions in preparation, was mindful of the space, and very caring and conscientious for my dog and home while I was away. She went above and beyond! Both Velma and I would be delighted to work with her again.”
“Junny took great care of our dog when we were out of town for the weekend. We enjoyed the regular photo updates and could tell that Lyra had a nice weekend and was looked after really well while we were gone”
“Hazyl and Timmy were SO well taken care of! Alex sent daily pictures which I loved. Our house was super clean and our furry animals were happy. We’ve already booked Alex for two more trips we have planned.”
“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: I grew up on a ranch with dogs, cats, horses, and cattle, and my boyfriend who I live with has had dogs his whole life. We love dogs of all size and ages and hope to adopt more in the future. Our schedules line up to where someone would be home with your pup 95% of the time! We offer daily walks and adventures if that’s what your pup needs as well, and lots of toys of course. We have a large fenced yard that your pup can play and run around in. We have a dog as well that they can play with outside or inside. We have crate that your pup can use if that’s what they need.

I am currently a full time student who is fully available Tuesdays and weekends. During the week my availability is limited, but I am willing to walk or check in on pets from 3pm - 7pm Thursdays.and Friday evening. I clean up after pets and leave the house just as it was found.

About: I've grown up around dogs my entire life, so caring for them has always been apart of my routine. I have years of experience walking and caring for my own and other peoples dogs, and other pets. Im currently 18 and a student at SBCC, where I am also a cheerleader, I am active, responsible and good at managing my time. I would love to provide your pets with attention, exercise and care! As a student at Santa Barbara city college I have a flexible schedule that allows me to easily fit dog walking and pet sitting into my routine. I am also a cheer leader so I am used to staying active and managing my time. I have availability throughout the week and can plan walks, and pet sitting around my schedule. Spending time with animals is something I really enjoy so caring for your pets would be a fun part of my routine! When caring for pets in a clients home I always do my best to follow there normal routine. I follow all instructions provided by the owner, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, potty breaks and any other needs. I make sure that the pets get enough attention and exercise while keeping there space clean and safe. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets and home, so I will always be respectful and responsible and communicate with the owners.
“Hannah is a gem and I know I am blessed immensely to have found her. Hannah is trustworthy, caring, and has an almost mystical way with animals. She came to watch my two dogs and three cats with very little notice, allowing me to attend to an urgent family matter. Even with the short notice, Hannah came to meet everyone to make the situation as gentle as possible. All three of my very shy and wary cats came out of hiding right away, the shyest of whom approached Hannah for a pet! My elder dog (13 years old) has lost most of his vision and normally barks at new people, yet he was calm and happily "woo-wooo!"-ing the moment he met Hannah. My anxiety on leaving and what I was facing was greatly alleviated as I knew all of my furry family members were receiving exemplary care. Additionally, Hannah has a great foundational knowledge of animal behavior. As I said, Hannah is a gem, and I recommend her with the highest of respect and regard.”
“Tatianya instantly gained the trust & affection of my shy little cat and demonstrated real fluency in the language of kitty cat vibes. Communication was good — I appreciated the photos & video. Came home to a clean house & a happy cat. Thanks Tatianya!”
“Halley did a fine job taking care of our animals. I have not spent any time away from my dog in the 12-ish years I've had her so I was pretty stressed about that. We also have a cat of advanced age, we were worried about her and finally 2 cats who are sneaky and will dart out if you're not paying attention. Happily all 4 animals are happy and unstressed. They were happy to see us of course but overall, they didn't have too much stress. Finally, our home was still neat and clean when we got home. Halley was very conscientious, she left our home as neat as she found it. There was a snafu but Halley managed to deal with it and get on with things. I would be happy to recommend her to others and if we ever need to go out of town again, Halley is who I would ask to care for my home and my animals.”
“Danielle is hands-down an extraordinary pet sitter! She watched our dog Oso for 10 days while we were out of cell service and handled everything flawlessly. She was wonderfully patient when our travel home ran late and showed so much love and dedication to Oso. She was even kind enough to leave sweet plant gifts for our three daughters! Oso formed a true bond with her, and we returned home to a happy, well-cared-for dog. Highly recommend Danielle to anyone looking for top-tier care!”
“Bailey was great and available on short notice due to a family emergency. Pets loved her and she even offered to grab some carpet cleaner when one of my cats puked. Will use her again for future needs.”
“Mark was super helpful when we contacted him for same day help when my mom ended up having to spend the night in the hospital. He was helpful, professional, and super nice. He was great with Mom’s pets. Thank you, Mark!”
About: I have been a pet and house sitter for the majority of my life. I truly enjoy spending time with your animals and making sure they are happy and healthy while you are away. This can include anything from daily snuggles on the couch, to walks around the neighborhood, play time in the back yard, or chasing lasers around inside. I have sat for a variety of animals, but prefer to stick with dogs and cats, but if you have other types of pets we can negotiate. I do not do well with giving shots but can handle a medication schedule if needed for senior or special needs animals. I am currently a remote student working on a bachelor's degree. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to be gone from my home so I can come care for yours and your pets. I am trustworthy, quiet, dependable, reliable, and love animals. As I already have pets at home, I do not offer my own in-home care. So, it would be best for me to come to you.
About: I’ve dog sat for all my family and friends the past 10-15 years. I am very reliable and love to spend time with fur babies! I work full time but always go on walks in the morning / afternoon. I also am free on the weekends and am available to help out last minute I have a fenced in yard / patio around my house which is helpful when caring for dogs. I also love going on walks so I can keep them active :)
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.
“Vanessa was great! Our dog loved her and she took very good care of him. She sent pictures everyday, and they seemed to have a great time together. We will definitely use her again in the future.”
About: I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes and ages, as well as animals that take daily medication. I’m very good when it comes to applying the owners needs with consistency and lots of attention for their pets. I babysit part time and I have dog sitting clients outside of Rover as well. My schedule is very flexible and so it’s easier for me to meet new clients and their pets! I always make sure to ask my clients if there’s any additional info that I need to know. I’m a very aware and attentive person, that’s why I keep a good eye on the pets body language and everyday needs. Keeping up with their schedule is another important detail to me.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - King Salmon
Rebekah was amazing! She sent pictures and updates. She answered all of our check ins and questions. Both dogs seemed happy and well cared for when we got home! She communicated really well and always checked with us on things. Highly recommend! We plan to book her again for our future trips!
Annalee was fantastic with Bagel while I was away. She sent me pictures several times a day, which gave me total peace of mind knowing he was doing well. The best part was that instead of giving me the cold shoulder when I got home (like he usually does after I’ve been gone), Bagel was actually excited to see me! That told me everything I needed to know — he had a good stay and was well cared for. I’d definitely recommend Annalee to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dogsitter.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 163 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across King Salmon. 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 King Salmon 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 King Salmon 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 King Salmon 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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
