Tamar was fantastic with my four-year-old husky. She has a husky herself so she understood the nuances.She was very attentive and stayed for long periods of time. She sent a lot of pictures and updates. The communication is superb and follow up was really appreciated. Tamar was very respectful of my house, I definitely recommend using Tamar for housesitting.

About: I’ve cared for cats through drop-in visits and overnight stays, making sure each one feels safe, comfortable, and well-loved while their owners are away. I’m a therapist full-time, which means I’m calm, attentive, and very tuned in to behavior and routines. I’ve also fostered kittens and have a cat of my own, so I’m experienced with everything from playful young cats to shy or sensitive ones. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, medications, litter care, enrichment play, and giving plenty of affection. I work from home much of the week, which allows me flexibility and natural breaks throughout my day for drop-in visits or extended care. My schedule includes built-in gaps between sessions, so I’m able to provide attentive, unhurried visits and stick closely to your cat’s routine. Because I’m already accustomed to managing a structured schedule, I’m reliable, punctual, and communicative. Pet care fits seamlessly into my weekly routine, and I’m intentional about only booking what I can thoughtfully and consistently handle. I prioritize a safe and calm environment for every pet I care for. In your home I follow your routines exactly, including feeding, playtime, litter cleaning, and any medication instructions, so your cat feels comfortable and secure. I always supervise interactions and make sure doors, windows, and other hazards are managed for safety. In my home I maintain a clean, quiet space where cats can relax, explore, or retreat as they wish. Having fostered kittens and being a cat owner myself, I understand how to read behavior, provide comfort, and create a stress-free environment that keeps pets happy and safe.

Sonia always takes great care of our large, high-energy dog while we're away. He is slow to warm up with new people and Sonia has developed a terrific rapport with him, she always makes sure he is safe, comfortable and happy in his routine. She takes great care in looking after our home and sends a helpful daily update, we're very glad to have such a great sitter for our special-needs dog!

Alexis agreed to watch Roxy and Neo at our home with less than a week to go before our trip. We put in the request and she came for a meet and greet on the same day. She took great care of our babies, giving them lots of love and allowing their routine to stay as close to normal as possible. We were able to relax and really enjoy our holidays with our families knowing she was looking after them. She went above and beyond and left the house nice for us so that we could come home and get straight to resting with our animals. We are so grateful for her and hope she’ll watch Roxy and Neo again! 10/10 would recommend choosing Alexis for your pet sitting needs!

About: What sets me apart is the level of attention and care I give every pet. I understand that leaving your pet with someone else requires trust, so ill make it a priority to keep owners updated with photos, messages, and details about how their pet is doing. Taking the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and needs so they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away. Whether it’s a long walk, playtime, sticking to a feeding schedule, or simply providing companionship, I treat every pet like a member of my own family. My goal is to create a stress-free experience for both pets and their owners by providing reliable, attentive, and loving care every visit. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine. As a soccer player, I stay active and enjoy going on runs, long walks, and spending time outdoors, which allows me to provide plenty of exercise and engagement for pets in my care. I have a very flexible schedule and can dedicate extra time and attention to each pet throughout the day. Whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine so they feel comfortable, safe, and stress-free. Carefully follow feeding schedules, exercise needs, any medication instructions, and any specific preferences provided by the owner.

About: I’ve been around animals for as long as I can remember. From helping family members with their pets to taking on the responsibility myself, I’ve gained hands-on experience with animals of all kinds. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, fish, birds, hamsters, bunnies—you name it! Growing up around animals has taught me how to understand their different personalities, routines, and needs. Whether your pet loves to play, go for walks, or just wants someone to keep them company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I also have experience administering oral medication, as my own cat is currently taking medication, so I’m comfortable following medication schedules and special care instructions. I’m happy to stick to your pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any extra care they may need. What sets me apart is that I genuinely love animals and treat every pet like they’re my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind by providing dependable, attentive care and making your pet’s time with me as stress-free and enjoyable as possible. As a full-time college student and volleyball coach, I keep a structured schedule that allows me to provide reliable pet care. I’m available all day on Saturdays and Sundays, with evening availability on most weekdays. Services 30-Minute Dog Walks include a safe and enjoyable walk tailored to your dog’s energy level, along with fresh water, potty breaks, and plenty of attention. Whether your pup prefers a relaxing stroll or an active walk, I’ll make sure they get the exercise and mental stimulation they need. 30-Minute Drop-In Visits include feeding, fresh water, potty breaks or litter box cleaning, playtime, medication if needed, and lots of love and attention. I’ll make sure your pet stays comfortable and cared for while you’re away, and I’ll send photo updates after each visit. House Sitting includes caring for your pet in the comfort of their own home while maintaining their normal routine. I’ll provide feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, medication if needed, companionship, and plenty of cuddles. I’ll also treat your home with respect and send regular updates so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind. As a full-time student and athlete, I maintain a structured schedule that allows me to provide reliable pet care throughout the week. I'm available all day on Sundays and Saturdays, and I have evening availability on most weekdays. **Availability:** * Sunday: Available all day * Monday: 6:00 PM – 9:00 PM * Tuesday: Available before 9:00 AM and after classes until 9:00 PM * Wednesday: 4:00 PM – 9:00 PM * Thursday: 6:00 PM – 9:00 PM * Friday: 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM and anytime before 9:00 AM * Saturday: Available all day Even with my busy schedule, I make time to provide attentive, dependable care and ensure pets receive the attention, exercise, and companionship they need. I care for every pet with patience, attention, and respect for their individual needs. Whether I'm caring for your pet in my home or yours, I make their safety, comfort, and well-being my top priorities. I carefully follow all instructions provided by pet parents, including feeding schedules, exercise routines, medications, house rules, and any special care requirements. I understand how important consistency is for pets, so I do my best to maintain their normal routine and create a stress-free environment while you're away. I treat every pet as if they were my own, providing plenty of love, attention, and supervision to help them feel safe, happy, and comfortable.

I'll just come out and say it: my dogs are pretty spoiled. They are accustomed to being with us 24 hours a day, and my little chihuahua has separation anxiety. After a few not-so-great experiences with boarding, I decided to use a sitter while we were gone on a 6 day vacation. BEST DECISION EVER. Jessica immediately bonded with my dogs, and I could see right away that she has the right level of experience, patience, and love to keep the dogs happy while we were away. She sent us loads of really cute pictures (which we almost enjoyed more than the vacation) and was an absolutely perfect house guest. I have no hesitation is strongly recommending her as an excellent house & pet sitter, and will definitely be booking her again in the future. Thank you Jessica and Rover!

Kevin took wonderful care of our dog, Watson, while we were away from June 25 to July 2. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. He took Watson on walks to parks and trails, played ball with him using a long leash so he could safely enjoy the feeling of being off leash, followed all of our feeding instructions, and kept us updated with photos and messages throughout our trip. We always felt connected and knew Watson was in great hands. What impressed us most was how observant Kevin was. Everything he told us about Watson matched his personality perfectly, which reassured us that he was truly paying attention and getting to know him as an individual. It’s clear that Kevin understands dogs, genuinely cares about them, and gives them the love and attention they deserve. We came home to a happy, healthy dog, and that says everything. We highly recommend Kevin and would absolutely trust him with Watson again.

Mari is fantastic and clearly a cat lover - and understands cats! When she came to meet Busy for the first time, she took all the time needed to bond with my kitty and ask all questions about her care. During her time with Busy, I received the cutest photos and videos showing my kitty super comfortable, getting all her play time, and cozying up for naps every day during her stay. Mari also maintained my apartment extremely well and I’m very thankful for that! I am so happy Mari is now in our lives and I wouldn’t think twice before booking her again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Kinneloa Mesa

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Kinneloa Mesa on Rover is $53.5 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 14,940 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Kinneloa Mesa. 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 Kinneloa Mesa 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 Kinneloa Mesa 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 Kinneloa Mesa 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 Kinneloa Mesa. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% 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.
