About: Hello my name is Marie! I am a 25 year old college student, I have 5 pets of my own that I love dearly. I have lots of experience with animals. I grew up helping my grandmother care for rescue kittens and foster kittens. I would often help with socializing them. I would assist my grandmother with bottle feeding kittens anywhere from a couple weeks old to when they start weaning off of bottles. Through out my life I have had many different kinds of animals. (Dogs, cats, rats, snakes, hermit crabs, fish, tarantulas, etc.) also in 2024 I had an internship with the San Diego zoo and Wildlife alliance. I worked with the birds and I would clean enclosures, clean any dishes or appliances used for the different kinds of bird feed, I also would make the birds different enrichment every day. I have a huge passion and love for all animals with all of that said, I promise to care for your beloved furry family members in the most respectful, caring and loving manner. Please consider my support and assistance! I often have free time and I am willing to help any day of the week or weekend at any time. Every Friday I have an appointment, but with enough notice in advance I can do Fridays. Due to having my own animals and roommates. I would be unable to care for your pets in my own home. I am willing to travel and care for your pets in the comfort of their own home. I am also willing to meet before any planned pet sitting days so you can get to know me and decide if you are comfortable and want to move forward.

About: Hi! I’m a reliable, attentive dog lover with over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. My experience includes working with Border Collies and Great Pyrenees in a ranch setting, where they herded and guarded sheep, as well as providing professional care at a busy dog daycare. I also have extensive experience caring for large-breed family dogs. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, young, or a senior, I believe every pet deserves patience, consistency, and individualized care. My goal is to make every walk or visit a positive experience so you can have complete peace of mind knowing your best friend is safe, happy, and well cared for. Thanks for stopping by my profile! I work part-time caring for dogs professionally, so spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy every day. I’m available all day on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays. I may also be available on my workdays depending on my schedule. I appreciate at least 24 hours’ notice whenever possible so I can plan my day and give your pet the time and attention they deserve. Whether your companion is energetic and playful or prefers a slower pace, I’m happy to tailor my care to their individual personality and routine. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! One of my favorite parts of pet care is getting to know each animal’s unique personality, communication style, and routines so they feel comfortable and understood. Every dog is different, so my first priority is building trust. When we first meet, I give each dog the time and space they need while I observe their personality, body language, and comfort level. From there, I adjust my approach to match what helps them feel safe and confident. I believe in treating every dog with kindness, respect, and clear boundaries. I use positive reinforcement—including praise, encouragement, and treats when appropriate—to reinforce good behavior. Rather than relying on punishment, I focus on redirecting unwanted behaviors and setting dogs up for success in a calm, consistent way. Whether we’re playing at home or out on a walk, safety always comes first. I enjoy interactive play while maintaining a safe environment, and I tailor each walk to the individual dog. Some dogs are happiest walking calmly at my side, while others enjoy taking the lead, and I’m happy to adapt to what is safest and most comfortable for them. My goal is simple: to make every dog feel secure, understood, and genuinely excited to spend time with me. When I enter a dog’s home, I remember that I’m stepping into their familiar space. My first priority is helping them feel safe and comfortable with my presence. I allow each dog to approach at their own pace, paying close attention to their body language and personality so I can build trust before asking anything of them. Once a dog is comfortable, I love engaging them through safe, interactive play that matches their energy level and preferences. Whether it’s a game of fetch, tug, enrichment activities, or simply relaxing together, my goal is to provide both physical exercise and positive companionship while maintaining clear, consistent boundaries. I strive to leave every dog feeling secure, respected, and excited to see me again. I want you to have peace of mind knowing your pet is not only well cared for, but genuinely enjoying our time together. I don’t expect dogs to adapt to me—I adapt to the dog while providing clear, consistent boundaries.

She also communicated frequently during my trip, and as a bonus, she made a gorgeous drawing of my sweet pup, and left it as a surprise. My next house/pet sitter WILL be her!”

After a few hours, my dog became so comfortable with Jack he was laying in his lap, demanding belly rubs. Since, I’ve had Jack back again to watch the dogs, and he’s a great houseguest. Very courteous, so responsible, and great at communicating. My pups can’t wait to have him back!”

She sent check ins and pictures as well as taking extra time to pet him and play with him and overall just made it such a positive experience and really took my worries away.

About: I’ve cared for animals my whole life. My family has a lovably big German shepherd and two little poms who we love. When I lived with my parents, I frequently walked and fed all three dogs. As well as administered meds to my senior poms. All types of animals, especially dogs and cats make me very happy and I love to show my appreciation to them for that. Helping anyone care for their furry friends would be an honor and gift. All pets deserve love, attention, care, and loads of playtime fun! I’m new to Rover and I work part time as a server at a sushi restaurant. On my days off, I would love to help care for pets. Please contact me directly for accurate availability, as my weekly schedule varies. However a typical week may look like: Tuesdays - 8 am - 10 pm available for walks, drop ins Wednesdays - 8 am - 10 pm available for walks, drop ins Sundays and Mondays : 8 am - 12 pm available for walks , drop ins (note: all late hour bookings are tentative to client/sitter previous trust building and confidence. Before booking any past dusk appointments, I respectfully request to build a rapport with the client through repeated earlier timed bookings beforehand.) In my home I have two friendly cats. They have experience with dogs and other cats as well. They don’t cause problems with other animals. Going to a clients home, I am willing to care for an animal however is requested. I’d love to play with, walk, feed, etc, and do drop ins.

“Kris is the most wonderful kitty sitter and house sitter imaginable! This is our second time having Kris stay at our home for an extended period of time while we were out of town. Having her take care of the kitties and the house while we were away for 2-weeks brought us so much peace of mind and allowed us to relax and unwind without any worries. She sent daily photos and videos and kept me posted on all pertinent details each day. She's extremely patient and flexible and went out of her way to find a solution to help my two picky eaters eat their wet food. She also did an amazing job keeping them entertained with lots of playtime. We returned home to two very happy and content kitties and a spotless house. She's an absolute gem and we are so grateful for her help! Kris will always be our go-to house sitter anytime we travel.”

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Ethan was absolutely fantastic! He was exceptionally professional, reliable, and always punctual, with excellent, proactive communication throughout our time away. He took wonderful care of both our dogs, and we were especially impressed by how patient and kind he was with our older dog, who can be a bit of a grumpy old man! Ethan really took the time to earn his trust and win him over, which meant a lot to us. He was also an excellent house sitter and took great care of our home while we were gone. We couldn't have been happier with the experience and will absolutely be booking with him again! We highly recommend Ethan to anyone looking for a trustworthy, dependable, and genuinely caring sitter who is outstanding with dogs!

FAQs for House Sitting - Lemon Grove

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Lemon Grove is $51 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $89 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 6,271 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Lemon Grove. 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 Lemon Grove 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 Lemon Grove 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.

<b>Tip:</b> 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 Lemon Grove 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lemon Grove. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
