⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 Stars! We have only left our girl, Stella, with someone outside of our family a handful of times in her 12 years, so finding someone we could truly trust was incredibly important. Laura was absolutely amazing! She kept us updated throughout Stella's stay, which gave us so much peace of mind, and it was clear that Stella was well cared for and loved. Laura went above and beyond, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. We are so grateful for the exceptional care she provided and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and reliable to watch their pet. Thank you, Laura!

Sandra is wonderful! She's like having one of the family stay and watch your pets. She took great care of our zoo and we wouldn't hesitate to have her stay again when we go out of town for long or short trips. We actually think our pets are sad we are home and enjoyed having Sandra with them more than us!

Marissa house sat and dogs sat for us for 3 nights. We really appreciated her ability to adapt. We have a GP who is a rescue. He has become a very sweet and loving dog with us, but we know he can be very territorial, protective and stubborn. He wasn’t easy for her to deal with, but she persevered. When we returned our house was in great shape and she took good care of our boy. We are so glad that we met Marissa. She is willing to come back and deal with our GP and we appreciate that. We will definitely be contacting her again.

About: Since I was born, I’ve owned dogs, cats, horses, reptiles, birds, and even taught them to speak to me! I come from a long line of animal lovers. I currently work remotely from home. My 22 year-old daughter lives with me at home 24/7 and is an animal whisperer. The dogs will always have walks and there is a park nearby. I have a fenced yard with chickens in a coop. I have three indoor loving cats, that think they are dogs and play fetch, who loved their bellies rubbed. I have a crate if your dog needs special care. I also have no problem, keeping the cats in a closed room away from any dogs with any special concerns.

Amanda was wonderful! We have two rescues - a very needy Yorkie and a standoffish Border Collie mix. She did an excellent job with both and connected right away even with our boy who is usually slow to warm up. She kept us updated with pictures, took them on nice long walks, and we came home to happy, healthy dogs! We'll definitely book with Amanda again!

We have found our new dog sitters! We were nervous leaving Kevin with a non-family member for the first time. Caleb and Sara completely relieved us of our nervousness with their calm demeanors, excellent communication, and pictures of our boy throughout our trip. My favorite picture was of Kevin sitting on Sara’s lap. That told me all was well. We highly recommend this animal loving team of Caleb and Sara.

About: Ever since I can remember our dogs and cats have always been apart of my family. From growing up, to having a family of my own, and my now adult children. I have been caring for my daughters 3 dogs and 2 cats for the last 7 years as she and her husband travel for work. Now that they are settled down and home more, I am missing a part of my life that I loved with starting pet sitting as a "job" that will be more of a passion. I am retired, so I am available for daily check ins to all day and overnight stays to keep your furbaby company while you are away. Keeping your furbaby at home is the best option to help reduce stress while you are gone and my favorite way to keep them company and maintain their normal routine in a familiar environment.

About: I love dogs. I live an active lifestyle and love going for runs in the Hollywood hills up away from cars, however when it comes to my clients pups, I always follow instructions for what they prefer. I have experience with all sorts of pups and would love to have your pup in the pack. While we are at my place, I go outside every hour / two for pee breaks. Usually in the morning I will go to the hills or the park before it gets too hot, or in the evening. I have experience watching all sorts of dogs with a variety of personalities. I love having fun and making sure that the pups have a good time too. I know how lame it is to be stuck in one place all the time so we try to move as much as possible.

About: Hi my names Amber and I am a full time student who just moved to Temecula for my clinical rotation I am just now reactivating my rover account for some extra income. All pricing is negotiable, just trying to make some extra money as I’m currently only working twice a week and my boyfriend works from home so someone is always with the animals we care for during the week. I’ve done rover before and Love all animals and would love to care for yours like my own. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions :) and check out my reviews from the past. My dog pixie the little Chihuahua in my photos has unfortunately passed away aftee 15 years but my 7 year old corgi Roxy sure would LOVE the company. I currently work as a server and my shifts are usually only 4-5 hours long. Other than that I’m a home body who loves her shows and my boyfriend who will also be helping works from home. So someone is always with the pets. We will definitely have time for cuddles and naps or walks and playtime depending on what your dog or cat likes to do. I have no problem bathing walking playing or just hanging out. Whatever your dogs needs are.

This was our first time using an in-home dog sitter after losing our previous dog unexpectedly at a boarding facility, so we were understandably very hesitant. From the moment we met Vickie, she immediately put us at ease and gave us the confidence to leave our new pup at home while we were away. Vickie went above and beyond by visiting a few times before our trip to help our pup feel comfortable with her in our home. While we were gone, she kept us updated with daily photos, which meant so much to us, and she even took the time to water our garden. We came home to a happy, healthy pup and a house in perfect condition. We’re so grateful for the care and attention Vickie provided and would absolutely love to work with her again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter.

About: I have lived with and cared for dogs most of my life, all of different breeds, but I am now a sole dog parent to two amazing, working breed (retired) senior dogs. I have learned so much over the years about responsible and safe care for dogs across the spectrum of ages, breeds and size. I am a business owner and a full-time pet parent, I generally have most availability throughout the week and work on the weekends. My fur children take their regular walks in the early evening, so I'm generally most available during the day and during the weekdays. I care for pets based on the preferences expressed by the client. All foundational care with a pet will always be with care, safety and treats.

We were looking for a more local sitter since we moved. We were very nervous to trust anyone new with our fur baby and home. We are so very happy to have Maria stay at our home with our baby girl. Our 5yr pup was very happy with Payo and so are we. I was stressed at first but quickly found that Payo is a good match for our family. Thank you so very much for taking care of Abby! 😊

FAQs for House Sitting - La Cresta

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in La Cresta on Rover is $86.14 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 4,691 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across La Cresta. 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 La Cresta 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 La Cresta 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 La Cresta 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 La Cresta. On Rover:

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% 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.
