About: I've grown up my whole life with dogs and cats. I have tons of experience with then between pet ownership and the experience that I've gained working as a vet assistant. I currently work a 4 tens schedule, so I'm available all day on most weekends, as well as all day Tuesday's. The rest of the week I am available after 6pm. Due to my personal cats being pretty anxious with new animals, I am currently not caring for pets in my home. I am available for stays and drop-ins located at the house I'm sitting for :)
“Brianna was a wonderful pup and house sitter this weekend. With frequent updates and pics I was able to enjoy a peaceful and fun weekend away. It was so nice to return to a happy pup and home. I look forward to the next time Brianna sits for us.”
“Mystyc was great with Jax! She was so friendly and they seemed to get along right away. She made me feel at ease with her experience with senior dogs and the care Jax needed. She sent me photos throughout the day and kept me up to date with everything.”
“Perry was wonderful again with our dog, Roan, today! He sent tons of pictures throughout the day, got Roan out on several walks and clearly cares a ton about the happiness and comfort of the pups he is caring for. Can't wait to have Perry back again soon and would recommend him to anyone in need of care for their pups! He is terrific!”
“Five stars! This is my first time finding a house-sitter. Annalie was very quick to respond and always kept me updated. MeiMei can sometimes be difficult, but Annalie was patient and handled her well. She sent a lot of photos and was very communicative. I would definitely rebook with her again!”
“Madison took great care of my two cats and dog. She was communicative and provided updates throughout the pet sitting. My dog takes some time to warm up to new people and Madison was so patient with her. I would for sure book her services again.”
“Danielle was great with my anxious pup! She made herself available at the last minute after another sitter cancelled, and I felt completely comfortable leaving Adare with her for the day. We'd have her back in a heartbeat.”
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!
“Silvia was fantastic! She was great with our cats and dog, and sent lots of pictures. Even our very shy cat warmed up to her quickly. The house was well taken care of, and our dog clearly had a fantastic time with her.”
About: Natural dog whisperer. Meet my dogs and you'll see. They were both rescues with issues but are now great. Every dog I've dog sat or walked has now become a repeat customer or booked another stay this summer! We go to the dog park everyday and at least 1 super long walk. I'm a former research engineer and now just spend my days with my dogs. Figure we could use some company going to the dog park and dog beach I have an apartment with patio. I take my dogs out very often because I prefer being outdoors and exploring nature and all the trails
“Seng is amazing. Ruby took to her immediately. Seng took great care of her, took her on long walks by the ocean, and gave us plenty of great photos. Honestly, I think Ruby will now be looking forward to when we go on vacation. Highly recommended.”
About: I’ve been around cats and dogs for 90% of my life. I was raised with them, loved them, and learned to care for them like family. Whether it’s playtime, mealtime, or just a chill nap buddy, I’m here to make your pet feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I understand their needs, quirks, and routines because I’ve lived it every day growing up. Your pets are in good hands with me. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine. I work part-time as a photographer and filmmaker, which gives me a lot of flexibility. On weekdays, I’m free after 5 PM, and on weekends, I’m available all day unless I have a scheduled event for work, which I’ll always mark down in advance. This open schedule lets me give pets the time, attention, and consistency they need, whether it’s regular walks, drop-ins, or just keeping them company while you’re away. I take pet care seriously and love being able to fit it naturally into my lifestyle. In my home or a client’s, I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow their routines closely when it comes to meals, meds, walks, playtime, and quiet time too. I keep their space clean, give lots of attention, and always respect their personality and needs. Whether I’m hosting or visiting, I make the environment stress-free and familiar, with regular updates for peace of mind. Your pet’s comfort is my top priority, like they’re part of the family.
“Melissa took amazing care of our puppy all weekend on very short notice! Even though this was the first time we used Rover AND had someone we didn’t know watch our pet, we felt so confident leaving our house and our puppy in her care. She shared frequent updates and pictures through the app and we know she gave lots of love. She also left our house clean and brought in packages, which was so helpful to come home to after a trip. We will definitely be using Melissa again and would recommend her services to anyone! Thanks Melissa!”
About: Since I grew up with pets I love animals and love taking care of them. I’ve trained puppies and taught them little cute tricks. I know how pets feel whether they want to play or just relax. I can also tell if they needed a bathroom break. I am currently unemployed so I have a lot of time to take care of pets. I also love taking walks which is great for the pets. I have a spacious living space that can care for your pet and a very large yard area to walk them as well as for them to take their potty breaks. I live near parks as well.
About: I’ve always loved animals and have experience caring for my friends’ pets, including house sitting and making sure their pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. What sets me apart is my patience, attentiveness, and willingness to learn each pet’s unique needs. I believe the key to successful pet care is understanding and following their daily routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and any special instructions. With proper guidance from pet owners, I’m committed to providing reliable, personalized care and treating every pet like family. I’m a graduate student with a fairly flexible schedule, which allows me to make time for pet care throughout the week. I can work around your pet’s routine and provide consistent attention, feeding, walks, playtime, and companionship. I understand how important it is to keep pets comfortable in their usual environment, and I’m happy to coordinate with you to make sure their needs are met while you’re away. Safety, trust, and comfort are my top priorities when caring for pets. In a client’s home, I make sure to follow their instructions closely, maintain their pet’s normal routine, and keep their space clean and secure. I’m mindful of doors, windows, food, and anything that could pose a safety risk. I also respect each home and treat it with the same care I would my own. I want pet parents to feel confident knowing their pets are in good hands, receiving plenty of attention, affection, and reliable care while they’re away.
“Chelsea was great. Our dog was immediately comfortable with her and she made us feel comfortable being away from our fur baby. She also went above and beyond keeping us updated through texts and pictures while we were away. Very trustworthy. Highly recommend ❤️”
About: I assisted Military Police units with carrying for the K9s. I would let them bite me for training in a bite suit, to feeding them and playing with them, and the best part was being able to take then home on the occasions that the kennels were full or under construction, and secretly let them sleep in the bed with me. im very athletic, but also can be very lazy. So if you have a senior dog who just wants to cuddle and day that'll be perfect for me to finish homework and watch TV, but if your dog is hyper active I would love to go on long walks or runs with them. Ill treat your dog as if its my baby. You're trusting me with your family member, and ill make sure that I can provide and reassurance that they'll be loved and cared for in my home

The average cost of House Sitting in Linda Mar is $54 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $26 and $97 per night.

As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Linda Mar. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
