“Misty is extraordinary! She took incredible care of our pets while we were out of the country for two weeks. She sent daily photos and updates telling us and showing us just how well our pets were doing. After our initial meeting, I had every confidence in leaving our pets and home in Misty’s capable hands. I was able to go on vacation without worrying. If you are on the fence about a pet sitter, Misty is the one you want to watch your fur babies.”
“Dont really want to extole Laurie's work here because I want to keep her the best secret ever, but that wouldn't be fair. She's kind, smart, conscientious, flexible, my dogs LOVE her. She's great! The house was tidy and her communication was just right, not too much but enough to give me confidence that all was going well. I'm going to book her again any chance I get.”
“Was absolutely spectacular! Kept me up to date with everything. Was quick to respond to communication. I can't say how much I appreciate her being able to do this last minute!”
“Sarah stayed with our dogs for a week. She took excellent care of them and provided detailed updates. She really connected with our furry friends and it gave us great peace of mind knowing she was caring for them. She also ensured our outdoor plants survived the July temps! Highly recommend!!”
“Svetlana was amazing with our boys. She sent us updates everyday and was amazing with them. She did amazing administrating insulin to our dog Koda twice a day. Definitely going to book again!”
“Daniel was great with our dog Lola, took her walking and running and making her special breakfast and dinner! Kitties did great even though one did hide for a while which is her norm. House was left very clean and I really appreciate his daily updates.Will definitely use again!!”
“Abigail did an excellent job taking care of Dudley and my home. She is trustworthy and professional. I will absolutely be requesting her services again!”
“Paloma was so wonderful - my cat loved her! Our cat is a bit high maintenance and needs a lot of attention, sometimes acts out, and is happiest when the sitter can stay at our place with her. Paloma was so attentive and really met all of her needs. She sent updates with photos and made us feel so at ease that our cat and our home were in good hands. Came home to a happy cat and clean house. Would recommend Paloma highly to anyone!”
About: I got my first dog 8 years ago and since then have realized how amazing they truly are. I’m here to help busy pet parents! I currently work as a paramedic full on 48 hour shifts, which allows me to have most of the week to take care of pets! I’m very aware and sensitive to each pets needs and will be happy to help with whatever is required for your animals comfort and safety.
“Alicia is fantastic and kind. She is a prompt and clear communicator. She sent daily updates and pics and left the house super clean which I so appreciated! Most of all, my cat liked her right away and he had clearly been taken care of well. Will definitely hire her again. Thx.”
“Spencer was awesome! He did a three night overstay at our home and watched our 6 dogs. He sent daily picture and message updates, asked all the right questions, and the house was spotless!! Very friendly, professional and absolutely will be working with Spencer going forward. HIGHLY recommend!!”
“Levi was an amazing sitter!! He was very communicative and kind. We will definitely be rebooking and would HIGHLY recommend him to anyone who is nervous about leaving your babies!! I was, and he made the whole experience easy and worry-free. A++++++++++”
“Batya was great! She helped me out in a tough last minute situation with my pup, Mia. She is super responsive and took special attention to be sure Mia felt comfy throughout the stay. Whether it was taking her to a nearby dog park, hiding treats for Mia before she left for the day, or sending loads of cute pics throughout, I felt great about having Batya watch Mia and would definitely do it again!”
“Taylor was great! She stepped in at last minute for an overnight with my dog and 2 elderly cats . Great energy, easy going/ flexible, great communication and sent pics. House and little ones were well cared for / attended to. I would absolutely ask Taylor to stay in the future !”
About: I am a caring and compassionate pet sitter. I love dogs and always given them lots of attention, pets, and overall make sure they are well cared for as will do with the home I do the caretaking in. I follow directions, pay close attention to detail, and I leave your home as I found it. I have been house sitting for 10 plus years. I have lots of references if needed. I am currently a full time house sitter. I work part time online and part time delivering food and groceries. I make sure any dogs I watch are well cared for and I balance my time accordingly. I take them on walks. I can brush their fur. Play with them with their toys and throw balls in the backyard. I feed them accordingly and follow all instructions. I give them lots of attention and love.
“Colleen was amazing with our dogs and our home. She took care of our pups as if they were her own! Colleen sent pictures and communicated with us frequently and replied to our texts promptly.”
About: If there's anything that I can brighten my day, it's seeing a happy dog! Since I was young I have always had a soft heart for all animals. I believe in the ethical treatment of animals, and I will advocate for them however I can. I have cared for many dogs of my own over the years, as well as for others. Your fur babies will get as much love as I give my own. Caring for animals has always brought me a deep sense of comfort and joy. I especially enjoy supporting senior pets or those who need a little extra attention, patience, and care. I recently lost my beloved dog of 15 years to cutaneous lymphoma, which required attentive, around-the-clock care, including carefully timed medications and a thoughtfully managed diet tailored to his health needs. He was truly a member of my family, and his loss has left a significant space in my life—one of the reasons I’ve chosen to join Rover. I’m very attentive, protective, and detail-oriented when it comes to an animal’s well-being. My experience has also led me to learn extensively about canine health, particularly cancer prevention and supportive care. Caring for animals is important to me, as I know completely how worrisome it can be to give your baby to someone else and hope they get the same love and care. I have always been very cautious with my pets in any situation and this is one of the reasons I joined Rover. I understand the nervousness of giving someone else the responsibility of your beloved pet, and if I can be that relief to someone else then I would love to! The attention, detail, and care I put into them reflects my fees. Since my dog has passed, I truly miss the simple joys of daily walks and spending time outside with a dog, and I look forward to providing loving, reliable care for yours. I currently work on a project basis and have full availability, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care, walks, and play. I don’t have other pets, so your dog will receive my full attention and care. I’m home most of the day, providing a calm and consistent environment. I also enjoy taking walks, especially when visiting family in the Four Hills area, which offers great opportunities for outdoor time. I do go to the gym regularly, but I’m typically only away for about an hour, ensuring your pet is never left alone for extended periods. I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and loving environment for every pet in my care, whether in my home or a client’s home. I take the time to understand each dog’s routine, preferences, and any medical or behavioral needs so I can keep their experience as consistent and stress-free as possible. In a client’s home, I’m very respectful of their space and follow all care instructions closely—from feeding schedules and walks to medications and any special requests. I’m attentive to details, keep a close eye on your pet’s behavior, and provide regular updates so you feel informed and at ease while you’re away. I have also been accepted as an APS substitute teacher, so I have passed an extensive background check. Along with dog sitting, my background also includes a professional career in the film industry, teaching English in Spain with families, and caring for a farm in Hawaii. If caring for pets in my home, I maintain a clean, secure environment with plenty of supervision, comfort, and affection. I ensure pets have a safe space to relax, access to fresh water, and appropriate exercise and enrichment based on their energy level and needs. Safety is always my top priority. I’m mindful during walks (leash safety, surroundings, avoiding hazards), and I’m experienced with administering medications and caring for senior or higher-needs pets. I treat every animal as if they were my own—with patience, attentiveness, and genuine care.

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 Madera 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 Madera 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 Madera 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
