“Tommy cat-sit in our home for 6 days. When we returned home, our cat seemed happy and healthy and the house was in great shape. We will definitely have Tommy cat-sit for us again!”
“Sherry was very focused on Charlie’s daily routine. She asked the right questions and continued with the commands that my trainer instilled. The house looked good and she cared for it as if it was her own. I will use her again and recommend her to those who especially have a larger dog like my Charlie, a 70+lb golden.”
“Mámoo was wonderful with our pups while we were away. It’s so nice coming back to a clean home with everything taken care of while gone. Mámoo kept me updated with pics and videos and status updates. Our pups were pampered and given lots of love. I’ll definitely hire Mámoo again in the future. Thank you so much for everything!”
About: Hey my name is Miles. I have a natural attunement to animals. They always feel very comfortable around me. I have studied horse behavior and communication and am now studying more positive reinforcement dog behavior as well. I love cats and dogs and making them feel cared for and loved. I currently work from home and part time so I have ample time to care for pets and make sure they get all the attention, walking, feeding, and anything else they may need. Yes, I offer in home dog sitting and I care for them with the utmost autonomy and respect. Recognizing them as a sovereign being and as well as a figure in their life who can give the. food, take them for walks, groom then, at times train them and be a companion for them. It is important for me to show this respect and be on good terms
“Andrea is great! She’s watched my minipoodle while I worked late. She’s reliable, punctual and is a great communicator. My dog automatically felt comfortable with her and is always calm when I return home. I will be using her again!”
About: I’m a proud owner of a crazy dog and a wannabe independent cat, and I’ve been pet sitting for most of my neighbors, taking their dogs on walks, and making sure all of their animals are fed and have had some time to play! I love all animals and I can handle anything from the most energetic puppy to a grumpy cat. I’m something of a pet whisperer I’m currently in highschool, so my scheduling for the next couple months is Monday-Thursday after 1:45pm, Fridays after 12:15, Saturdays after 3:15, and anytime Sunday I can stop by once a day or multiple times a day depending on what is desired in order to feed, check on water, take on walks, or just to get some play time in. Also super down to just keep your pets company for a while, because I know some of them miss their people.
“Kivi was so fantastic watching my doodle Winnie while I was traveling for the week. She took her on so many adventures and kept me updated with consistent communication and it really allowed me to relax on my trip knowing her and my apartment was in good hands. Thanks so much again!”
About: I've taken care of pets since before I could remember! Dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs etc etc. I am great at reading the room, entertaining each personality, and catering to specific needs. I have done all the tricks to get pets to eat their food, dispersed medication, and even trained cats to sit + spin! My dearest cat lived to 21, I know how to help with seniors, disabled, and medically needy! I am currently working part time, so I am very flexible and can devote lots of time to the pets! I am available to go to your house whenever is needed (weekdays and weekends alike). I will be able to attend to any specific needs your unique little fella has!

“Coralee did an amazing job with our dog and house sitting. She was communicative, took great care of the house, was very affectionate towards our pup and overall was just reliable and trust worthy.”
About: I have been caring for my 13 year old dog, Molly, for 11 years. I am also an active volunteer at the county animal shelter, working with dogs (1,000+ hours) and cats (400+ hours). I have a special place in my heart for dogs with behavioral and medical needs, and working with them at the shelter has taught me patience and skills that help to make the animals more comfortable. I also have training in puppy care, senior dog care, walking leash-sensitive dogs, and caring for injured animals. The time I get to spend with dogs is the most fun I have doing anything, and I take a lot of pride in caring for them with the appropriate level of attention and patience they need. I work remotely and have a flexible schedule, so I am available to walk and care dogs at a variety of hours. The length of walks is up to you and your dog-- I am happy to do short walks or longer outings depending on what you need! I am happy to refer you to references (animal shelter staff and volunteers) who can attest to my dog-handling skills and my ability to work with dogs from a variety of backgrounds. The safety of your pet and your home always come first, and I am very comfortable taking any steps needed to ensure that everything goes smoothly.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Monte Toyon
Lillian took care of our three pups in our home for a week and she was truly wonderful! She was so sweet with our three dogs and they clearly loved her. She sent daily update texts with pictures and she kept the gardens watered and the house was neat as a pin when we got home. We were able to really relax and enjoy our vacation knowing she was taking such good care of them. If you’re looking for a reliable, mature, responsible, kind person to housesit and take care of your pets, you couldn’t find anyone better than Lillian!
Kat was very friendly and professional, and most importantly our dog loves her. She spoiled him and took him on his favorite walk (he is strong and a pain to walk but she knew how to handle him and was not intimidated by it at all). she sent us pictures and I felt totally at ease while we were away knowing she was taking care of Rocco. I came home to a clean house and a very content dog so we will definitely use her again!
Robert is great! He has watched my mini poodle several times a week over the last couple of months. He is always reliable and is great working with my schedule. He is very friendly with my dog and allows him to feel comfortable while I’m away. I highly recommend him!
Sherry was very focused on Charlie’s daily routine. She asked the right questions and continued with the commands that my trainer instilled. The house looked good and she cared for it as if it was her own. I will use her again and recommend her to those who especially have a larger dog like my Charlie, a 70+lb golden.
Nieves did a great job watching our very anxious 14 year old dog named Boy! He usually will skip a meal or two when someone watches him for the first time, but he actually cleaned his plate the first time that she watched him and he was willing to go on a walk with her. Your pets will be in good hands with Nieves!

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 Monte Toyon 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 Monte Toyon 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 Monte Toyon 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!

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 .

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.
