“As usual, Christina came and went… and left our lives better! The pups adore her, we completely love and trust her. So communicative throughout the stay. All is right when she comes to stay and play!”
About: I grew up around pets and have loved them ever since. I have raised multiple litters of puppies and kittens. I have experience with cats and dogs of all ages ranging from 2 weeks to 12 years! I can provide crate training, can administer oral medication, as well as give eye drops and use topical medications, I also have experience with bathing both dogs and cats. I’m currently in college and only go on Tuesday's and thursdays from 9am -4 pm I have pretty flexible hours so just message me and we can work something out! I promise to keep your pet(s) in safe and loving hands! Potty breaks always come first, along with any other specific instructions such as feeding, filling water bowls, administering medications, etc. Me and your pet can play, cuddle, go for walks, or I can just be there to keep them company while they do their own thing. Whatever it is, I’m there to care!
About: Hi friends! My name is Katee and I have cared for animals nearly my entire life; my family has always owned some type of animal. I have owned reptiles, birds, rodents, cats and dogs. I have experience with kittens and puppies, and even newborn kittens. I have previously gone to school for veterinary science and worked at a veterinary clinic, but could not handle the darker sides of that job. I absolutely love caring for animals, and their safety is my priority! 🥰 Currently I am a stay at home mom, so I have plenty of time to hang out with your fur baby. I do have a new baby so I do need to come home for her routines, such as bath and bed time. I am available to house sit over the weekends, and can do drop-in’s and walks during the week. I will come to your home and hang out with your baby during the day, including walks and play as desired. I will administer medications, including ear and oral medications and provide baths if needed.
“Misty is absolutely the best! Our fur babies mean so much to use and we never worried about them for the week we were gone knowing Misty was taking care of them…she is awesome and we will definitely have her stay with them again”
“A 10 star review! Tyler stayed in contact during our trip and everything was excellent. Our active Lab got plenty of play and run time, complete with photos and quick notes. Arrived home to a pre cleaned house including bedding, towels and dishes. We’ve booked him for next two trips already.”
“Shanti is absolutely wonderful! If I could leave her 10 stars, I would. She is very pleasant, responsible, and she took fantastic care of our two high maintenance cats and the house. I am so happy I found her!”
“The is was my first experience with Rover and leaving my Lulu with anyone and it was FANTASTIC! I could not have picked anyone better than Mooney! He treated Lulu like she was his own dog. Trips to the dog park, photo shoots, updates, Mooney was exceptional! It is such a relief to know that I have a great dogsitter now, who is easy to communicate with and loves Lulu as much as I do!”
“We are so appreciative Ryan could last minute accommodate our request. We were desperate to find someone a week out from our trip as our normal dog sitter cancelled on us, and he was able to spend the weekend at our house. Our animals were well taken care of and he left our house in great shape! He even washed the bedding and took out the trash which was so nice. I definitely would rebook. Thanks again!!”
About: I’ve taken care of mostly cattle dogs since I was 10. My neighbors, family friends, family, and coworkers always ask me to pet sit for them. I am so excited to have the time to care for and love your furry friends! I work from Tuesday-Friday and I will be available after 7pm Friday. Saturday-Monday I am available at all times. I am not able to keep your furry friend in my current living space, but always am more than happy to take care of them in their home environment.
“We recently had Christopher stay with our two French bulldogs for 7 days, and he did a great job. It looks like he followed our guidelines; he sent just enough pictures, and when we were quiet for a few days, I reached out, and he always responded quickly. The pups seemed good when we got home. Even the mail lady said he was really nice. We would definitely invite him back.”
“Miley did a wonderful job watching my 8 year old corgi mix, Loki, overnight. He’s usually very anxious, but warmed up quickly to Miley. I came home to a happy pups! Miley was also responsive and provided updates letting me know how things are going.”
“Thank you Cheryl . The first meet we had my dog my dog was super excited . This was my first time experiencing this app so she was able to explain to me about herself and how it works . I’m glad that on my first go round I got it right . Even tho it was only a dog sit for a night Cheryl kept me posted with everything they did and really thank her for that . We will book again soon 🩶 .”
“Natalie beat my expectations! She was extremely attentive of the dogs in every way. My house looked better than when I left it and the dogs were very sad to see her go. I will certainly be using her services again and I wish I used her in the past. I’m recommending her to all the pet owners in my family because she made house sitting feel truly seamless. She even watered my plants and picked up after my dogs which were things I told her she didn’t have to do! Thank you so much!”
“Savannah was great! The house was just as we left it and the animals were happy and healthy. She was very responsive to messages and we already booked her for our next trip.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Linda
Brenna was absolutely incredible. Very respectful, understanding, and committed. She was very engaged and learning about our dog, their needs and personalities. My dogs seemed immediately comfortable with her. She was professional while also carrying a sense of familiarity and comfort. She also seems to come with a lot of experience in caring for others.

The average cost of House Sitting in Linda is $42 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $77 per night.

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 Linda 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 Linda 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 Linda 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
