About: I have several years of experience caring for pets for close friends and family, including dog boarding, dog walking, and house sitting. Through these experiences, I’ve learned how important it is to provide pets with consistent care, attention, and companionship while their owners are away. I’m comfortable with different routines and personalities, and I always strive to make pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for in my care. I am currently home from college and am open to working full time to play and hang out with your pups. I am available everyday after 11:00am. For boarding I am also available weekdays and weekends :) I have a fenced backyard with lots of space to roam around and play. My home is close to many parks and trails meaning lots of time for fetch and walks!
“Nikka was great with my dogs, especially my senior dog that has dementia. We had a meet and greet the day before and she made me feel very comfortable leaving my dogs in her care. Nikka sent me photos of the dogs and took such great care of them! My senior dog with dementia requires more supervision and care, Nikka did a great job caring for him in addition to my other 2 dogs. I would love Nikka to care for my dogs again.”
“Vanessa was very gentle and kind with my dogs and they trusted her right away! She sent so many pictures while we were away and puppies looked relaxed and happy to be around her😍 I will definitely rebook ☺️!”
“Stephanie was very responsive and overall great to work with. She was patient and kind with my dogs and they warmed up to her very quickly. She took great care of them and sent lots of cute photos while we were away to let us know they were doing well!”
“We cannot thank Katrina enough for taking such good care of our two dogs. We hired Katrina for pet/house sitting. As any pet parent knows, it is stressful to leave your fur babies behind while on vacation but Katrina eased that stress by sending daily updates, complete with photos to let us know how our dogs were doing. She took them on long walks and sent photos while on the walks. (The dogs looked very happy.) She also took good care of the house. We will definitely reach out to her again and highly recommend her.”
“Elena took such wonderful care of our pups while we were away. They were so happy, relaxed, and clearly well loved when we got home. She was communicative, reliable, and gave us so much peace of mind during our trip. We’re very grateful for her care and would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend!”
About: Reliable, communicative, and genuinely passionate about animals. I treat every pet like my own and focus on making them feel safe and comfortable. I have a six year old labradoodle currently and have taken full time care of an elderly black lab rescue in the past. I currently have no scheduling conflicts as I am home for the summer from college! Very open schedule so don’t hesitate to reach out with any requests! I always prioritize making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their normal routine. In a client’s home, I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection while keeping the space clean and tidy. I’m very attentive to feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any specific instructions. As well, I like to keep owners updated with messages and photos!
“Brianna watched our two dogs Riley and Charlie for 7 days while we were out if town. She was an excellent communicator. As one of our dogs Riley started experiencing stomach bowel issues. She was awesome at handling the situation and made us feel reassured. She sent us pictures, videos and updates frequently. We would definitely recommend Brianne and we plan to book with her for future travels.”
“Hailey was great with my very high maintenance very high energy pup Oliver. She was great at providing updates and communicating any changes/concerns during her stay. I highly recommend her :)”
“Emiliano was our first male to sit for our 1yo puppy. He was extremely gentle and caring and agreed to meet with us and our pup before his stay. He went out of his way to make sure our home looked even better than we left it, with a happy dog to come home to also.”
“Hali was great! She stayed in touch wind us the whole time we were away and we felt really comfortable with her taking care of our sweet, Bentley and our home. We’ll definitely book her again! Thank you, Hali!”
“Esther was very sweet with my little old pup. Her communication and pics allowed me to enjoy my trip knowing my dog and home were in good hands. Looking forward to booking with Esther again soon!”

I’m attentive, respectful of your space, and always keep dogs on leash during outings. I’m happy to share updates so you can feel confident while you’re away.
About: I connect quickly to animals and specialize in dog running and cat care. After sitting in a cubicle for two years in my previous job, I empathize strongly with pets that sit at home all day. I seriously hope to bring light into their lives through my care. I work in freelance photography, so I have a very flexible schedule. I have a car so I’m able to come to you, and can take your pet on field trip when needed. I aim to enrich the lives of the animals I care for by playing games, cuddling/spending time together, and exploring the outside world when appropriate.
“Alexandria took amazing care of our dog and house for the week! She was very responsive and gave us a lot of confidence that our dog was being taken care of really well while we were gone. Our dog loved her and we couldn’t recommend her more!”
“Antonio was awesome! An excellent communicator, quick to respond, provided daily updates and pictures and asked questions if needed. He left our house immaculate and our pets relaxed, clean and happy. Highly recommended for pet sitting or dog walking!”
“Madison was a wonderful sitter for my dog Rincon and small pets. She took the time for a thorough meet & greet to make sure we were all comfortable. During her stay I received daily updates, photos, and videos of our pets. She was flexible with the schedule and responsive to questions. I would highly recommend Madison and will definitely be using her as our pet sitter again. Thank you Madison!”
About: Hi friend, I'm Sophia, and my partner and I would love to walk and care for your dog! You can trust that your furry friend will be in compassionate and experienced hands with me. I've been caring for dogs and other pets since I was little, and I take pride in the trust and love that I've built with each animal. My experience spans walking, daycare, boarding, and more for both family and friends' dogs. I even fostered a sweet dog with anxiety for a year, ensuring they felt safe and loved. I've raised my dogs from young puppies through their senior years, and those who have crossed the bridge lived well into their late senior years, thanks to dedicated care. I have extensive experience with all ages and sizes of dogs, from house training energetic puppies to providing special care for incontinent seniors (ranging from 5 lbs to 125 lbs). Administering medications is also within my scope of care, ensuring your dog's health needs are met reliably. My friendly dog, a doodle, loves making new doggy friends and having playdates. I maintain a clean home with a fenced backyard because the well-being and safety of every dog I care for are my top priorities.

My friendly Golden Doodle will be a great companion, ensuring your dog has company and fun. You can trust me to take care of your pup 24/7, offering attentive and loving care whenever it's needed.
“We would give Perry 10 stars out of 5 if possible. He was very professional and knowledgeable. Asked great questions during the meet and greet which showed he cared the pups received great care.

Hailey did a great job house-sitting and taking care of our two Boston Terriers. Hailey provided regular updates with photos of our pups while we were away. When we returned home, it was clear that Hailey also took the extra care to tidy up before leaving. I would definitely use Hailey again and recommend her to anyone looking for a professional and thoughtful sitter.
Oh, what a dear! Angie (& Cole) were wonderful to my Aussie, who is suffering from a lame leg. She asked all of the right questions about her care and made sure to make friends prior to my departure so Lulu would be comfortable. They (Angie and Cole) not only kept her company and occupied while I was traveling for over a week, but they kept me from worrying! They sent pictures and updates, and made sure she was happy and healthy for my return. They also left my home spotless, which is greatly appreciated when suffering from jetlag. Couldn't recommend them more.
Amazing!! My furry family was so happy and healthy!! I don't know how to thank Owen enough!!!!!! Also, and importantly, the house was in better shape than I left it. I cannot thank him enough for taking care of my family and my home. What a blessing to have him!!
Isabella was very responsive, provided updates (with pictures) and took great care of both our house and pups. We have two big boys who can be a lot to handle, but she did great with them. House was in great condition when we got home. Will definitely work with Isabella again!
Milagros was absolutely amazing! She is incredibly caring, compassionate and kind- our pets loved her :). She is extremely detail-oriented and followed all of our instructions to the letter. She was also super communicative and totally flexible and left our entire house sparkling clean which was a wonderful gift after a long day of traveling. We can’t wait to hire her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Linda Mar on Rover is $53.5 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 7,511 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Linda Mar. 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 Linda Mar 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 Mar 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 Mar 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 Linda Mar. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
