About: Pet care professional with cats and dogs for over 10 years. Volunteered at SPCA, worked at many local doggy daycares/boarding facilities and vet hospitals. Pet CPR/First aid certified for 4 years. I am extremely respectful and love your fur baby with extra care. I have experienced with many medications and am very comfortable taking care of special care pets with special attention. Here to love and provide comfort 🐾💕 Currently only have one fur baby left, my Lucy girl. I feed, love and cater to her along with my work pets on the daily Been Pet CPR/First aid certified so your pet will be in perfect hands. I’ve been around just anything you can think of from puppy accidents to seizures. I’m not estranged to the messy stuff and I always carry a calm demeanor when handling any kind of emergencies.
“Diana is so kind and generous! We have two animals and she came over twice to make sure she understood how to take care of them. Each time, she was a complete delight and also she kept me updated with updates on how my fur babies were doing. I couldn’t recommend her enough. She will be our go-to sitter from now on”
“Charlie and Alex my Scottish Terriers are 7.5 years old, and Claire my cat is 17 years old. Besides me who never goes anywhere because I don't trust anybody to watch these three, my mom is the only other person who has spent time with them. I needed to take a trip out of town for 9 days and I was stressed. Then I found Brittany. Alex is my guard dog. Charlie welcomes everybody. Brittany came in with doggie treats. Charlie immediately fell in love with her, Alex was guarded. In 5 minutes she had won Alex over. He was sitting right next to her as if it were me sitting on the couch. It was then and there that I knew she was the one I could trust to watch my group. I have pretty extensive instructions I'm one of those people and she followed it to a tee. Brittany well send you photos and video clips of your pets as often or as little as you want to make you feel comfortable. I was able to be away and know that Charlie and Alex and Claire were all being very well taken care of. Claire took a little bit of time to warm up but she did come around. Bonus, Brittany also tidied up my house for me. I would highly recommend her hands down. In fact I'm trying to see if she could help me in September.”
“I came home to my pets and household in excellent shape after a week away. My elderly Swissie is no easy chore, with many needs and health concerns, and Nhi handled everything perfectly. I'm grateful for her attention to detail and concern for the animals and my home. I look forward to booking her again!”
“Aicha is amazing! She watched our dog sully in our home for a week while we were both traveling for work. She gave daily updates and the house was in great shape when we returned. We will continue to book with aicha whenever we need dog sitting. Thank you, aicha!!!”
About: Ever since childhood, I have always been surrounded by pets, from big animals, to cats and dogs. I can do everything from walks in the park to giving them baths. proper pet care is something important for your pets well being Currently I am enrolled in college at Sacramento State, my summer classes are online so there is time to check on your animals between my classes. How I care for my dog Is that she gets feed once in the morning and once at night. when I have time before class, excluding Monday and Wednesday this semester, I take my pup on at least a 20 min walk. She spends most her time outside, but sleeps inside at night.
“Noel did a great job taking care of Daphne making my trip possible. Very good with communicating and pictures. Kept her busy with games and walks. Hoping she will be available for future stays!”
“We feel lucky to have had Kyle care for Fido while we travelled to see family and friends. Kyle was prompt and good humored in all our interactions. Fido was relaxed and eating well after we returned, testifying to the good care from Kyle.”
“Erika was great with our dogs and very knowledgeable , we where able to trust her with our home and animals while we were on vacation. I highly recommend her and will use her again for sure.”
About: I have had dogs all my life growing up. Honestly - there has never been a year in my life where I have not owned a dog. I have experience with small dogs to large dogs. I have volunteered for several shelters when I was younger. I have cared for senior dogs and dogs who have cancer. My dogs are spoiled and honestly, they are not pets but family. I love my dogs unconditionally the way they love me. I currently work from home all week. I am free to play, run around, and walk my furry family throughout the day. I am usually home during the day, in the evenings and on weekends. I have a fenced yard. The yard is large and has grass and play toys. I have two furry family dogs to keep your pet company as well. My home is dog friendly with multiple dog beds, toys, and treats. I have extra crates, leashes, harnesses, treats, bowls, and blankets.
“Rachel was amazing with Estrella! Great communication, very kind, lots of updates, and I could tell my pup was super happy and cared for. Will definitely book again in the future. Thank you Rachel! ☺️”
“Cheyenne was great! She was really on top of communicating and sent many cute pictures of Bambi while we were away to reassure us that Bambi was being well taken care of. She really went above and beyond. I would definitely book her again!”
“We are anxious about our pets but with Mario we both felt at ease while on vacation knowing the he was there to take care of them. Mario sent us videos every day which we loved. Thank you for taking such good care of our girls!”
“Jenna is the best Rover sitter I've found! Sends regular updates, is super thoughtful and takes great care of my older pup. Trustworthy, reliable. Have used her before and will continue to book with her!”
“I was initially worried because my cat tends to be anxious when I leave. Ashlin watched my cat for 4 days and did a great job making him feel comfortable, safe, and mentally stimulated. She was even able to give him some medication. Definitely will be asking her to watch my pets in the future!”
“Keishla is great. My pup loves her and even with an injury, she gave Rocco lots of love and exercise. She was great about sending updates, pictures, and responding. She took great care of my home too.”

Bailey's first weekend with a pet sitter. First, Whitney is an excellent communicator and very responsive. She is thorough with her notes and came to our meeting prepared. The pictures, videos, and daily updates were greatly appreciated. And best of all, we came home to a very happy and content puppy. Baily is a 1.5-year-old mini Aussie with lots of energy.
Brittany did an outstanding job taking care of our senior dog, Frankie, in my home. He had some GI upset the night before Brittany was petsitting, so he needed some extra meds and attention. She kept me apprised of whether and how much he was eating, how he was acting, etc., including pictures. By the time I got home the next day Frankie was feeling much better, as did I since everything went so smoothly.
We had a wonderful experience with Natalie! From the very beginning, communication was clear, friendly, and professional. She took the time to understand our dog’s routine, preferences, and quirks, which immediately put us at ease. During the stay, we received regular updates, including photos and messages, which made it so much easier to be away. When we returned, our dog was relaxed and content, which says everything. We wouldn’t hesitate to book again and highly recommend Natalie to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and attentive sitter!
Rachel was incredible! She took such great care of my dog, Estrella, and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. She was reliable, attentive, and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. I came home to a happy, relaxed pup and a spotless space. I would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her! ✨
Tiffany was very professional. She was on time and respectful of my home. My cats love her, she was very friendly and cuddly and warm to my cats. Tiffany left my house very clean and she emptied all the trash and took it out. I will definitely hire Tiffany again.
Ryan is wonderful with our pets! He is able to handle our 92 pound hyper 10 month old lab and our 15 year old anxious chihuahua. Ryan communicated the perfect amount with us during our trip and left our house in the same condition as when we left. We already have him booked for our next vacation! Thanks Ryan!
E was absolutely incredible with my two puppies, Colt and Maverick! Those guys can be a handful and E was so sweet to them - even brought them treats and chews! I was so appreciative of how communicative they were. They sent me photos and texts throughout the day and accommodated their work schedule to help. I couldn’t recommend a sitter more and will absolutely be rebooking them.
Maria took amazing care of our senior pup while we were traveling for work, and we honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the moment we met through Rover, she was attentive, kind, and genuinely interested in understanding Snowball’s needs, especially since our pup is an older dog who takes medication and needs a little extra TLC. Throughout our trip, Maria kept us completely at ease with regular updates, adorable photos, and sweet messages about their daily routines. She gave Snowball her medication on time, made sure she ate her meals, took her on walks, and even handled a surprise encounter with the neighbor’s dogs like a pro (she scooped Snow right up and kept her safe!). When it rained, she cuddled up with Snowball for a Gilmore Girls marathon, gave her plenty of scratches, and even practiced her little tricks. We came home to a happy, healthy, relaxed pup, and a spotless home!! Maria went above and beyond in every way. She’s trustworthy, communicative, loving, and has that rare intuition that senior dogs immediately recognize. We’re so grateful to have found her and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter who treats your pet like family. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

FAQs for House Sitting - La Riviera
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in La Riviera on Rover is $62.2 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 2,873 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across La Riviera. 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 Riviera 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 Riviera 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 Riviera 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.

- 94% 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.
