“Nikka is a gem!! She was extremely communicative and sent me regular updates while watching our two large dogs and bird while we were out of town. She is trustworthy, caring, and made me feel so comfortable being away from my fur babies. I highly recommend booking Nikka if she is available.”
“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.”
“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!”
“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 :)”
“Jessica did a FANTASTIC job taking care of my two cats while I was out of town for the weekend! One of my cats has been having some urinary tract issues and needed medication every 8 hours and she took incredible care of him. I would definitely hire her again and I HIGHLY recommend her! She was extremely respectful of our home and our cats absolutely loved her!”
“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 ☺️!”
“My father passed away unexpectedly and I had to leave for New York within minutes. My biggest concern was my two dogs. I reached out to Anna and she came immediately without hesitation. From that moment on, I was completely worry-free. She sent consistent updates, photos, and videos, and my dogs were clearly happy and well cared for the entire week. She stayed with them full-time and kept me calm during a very difficult time. When I returned home, my house was spotless and beautifully organized. She truly went above and beyond. She is the best dog sitter I’ve used in 9 years — 100% trustworthy and reliable. I will absolutely be using her again.”
“Katrina did a wonderful job taking care of my 3 cats. She was very attentive to each of my cats’ needs and put great effort into playing, talking and feeding them. She gave updates with photos, videos, and messages and was always very responsive. We definitely recommend her and will book her again in the future.”
“Darya was amazing! She sent me multiple daily updates with photos. The animals loved her right away which was very reassuring and she left my house very clean and even stripped the sheets! I will be using her again.”

“Dawn took wonderful care of our dog and home. She connected with our pup and understood him well. He definitely bonded with her. She shared lots of photos, videos, and stories, and it was clear our dog was happy. We highly recommend Dawn and hope to have her dog sit again soon!”
“Merci took excellent care of Louie and our home; provided updates when necessary, handled the poor guy’s tummy issues, and is generally an all around lovely person. We’ll be inviting her back anytime we need a sitter.”
“Amina took care of my senior cat Taylor for a long weekend and I definitely recommend her to look after your pets. She was kind enough to meet before the stay and Taylor was comfortable with her presence and was out and about the whole weekend. Amina took daily photos and kept my apartment clean for my arrival. Book her if you need someone to look after your apartment and beloved pets!”
“Seng is absolutely amazing! My cats love her. She spends quality time with them, pays extra attention to the cat sitting notes, and my cats are always so happy and calm when I come home. I never worry about leaving my cats at home while I go on vacation when I know that Seng is cat sitting.”
“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!”
“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.”
“Victoria took great care of our dog, cat, and home on very short notice!!! She was very responsive, sent regular updates, and left our home in great shape!! We would absolutely rebook her in the future and recommend her to others!”
“I am SO lucky to have found Noelia to watch my beloved Theo while I was out of town for a bachelorette trip last weekend! She came over a few days before I left for a meet and greet/information session and Theo practically melted into her lap. While I was gone, she sent updates on how he was eating (he can be an anxious guy) and photos and videos of their neighborhood adventures together which was super adorable and so heartwarming. For my first time using rover AND having somebody new stay in my apartment with my 11lb pride and joy, I couldn’t have made a better choice with Noelia. I will be reaching out for her care again!! 🫶🏻🐾”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Linda Mar
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!

FAQs for House Sitting - Linda Mar
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Linda Mar on Rover is $53.5 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 7,529 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.
