“Gabby did an excellent job house sitting for our two large dogs while we were away on vacation. She kept us updated every day with photos and videos playing with our dogs and taking them on walks. Our dogs took to her immediately and we came home to happy, well cared for fur babies. Knowing our pups were so well taken care of allowed us to relax and truly enjoy our vacation. We would rebook with Gabby in a heartbeat for our next time out of town!”
“Alicia was fantastic!! She checked in frequently, sent a ton of photos and videos and the boys were super happy spending time with her. She left our home clean and tidy and was an all around delight!! We can't wait to have her watch the boys again!”
“Words cannot describe how amazing Neena is. Our dog is a big, energetic, showstopper Old English Sheepdog who doesnt necessarily love people or dogs. So it can be a challenge to walk her in a busy place because everyone wants to touch her. We were travelling and staying in a hotel in an unfamiluar place and wanted to go out to eat without our pup. This clingy dog of ours who is suspect of strangers, and in a new strange place, did amazing with Neena. Neena is so patient and has such friendly good energy, that we were able to enjoy several hours out while Neene walked our pup, managing the crowd lol and the dog and hungout with her in the hotel. It was such a gift! This was our furst time using Neena but wont be our last. Shes a dream dogsitter! Highly recommend!”
“Justine was great. She did everything I asked, was responsive and left my home very tidy. She wasn't ever gone too long so my fur baby wasn't alone much which is very comforting when you're away. I definitely recommend her. Thank you for taking care of Misty!”
“Kaylee been looking after Bella and her pups for couple of times now and she’s been great. She could handle very challenging situations with the puppies and bella as well. We would recommend and will use her services whenever available in future.”
“Adriana was great, London had a good time and we got back and everything was cleaner than we left it. She communicated often with frequent updates to make sure our pup was happy and well-cared for.”
“Laurie Beth is simply amazing! I have two vocal beagles, one of which has severe anxiety and is epileptic. This dog is very slow to warm up to people. It took a bit but Laurie Beth got her to come around and even got kisses! I was stunned. Laurie was very punctual and sent videos and pictures. She treated my babies and our home like they were her own. Going out of town is now much easier. She will be sitting for us in the future”
“Hermes was so awesome with our (challenging) dog and two cats! He watched them for two weeks and sent lots of updates and pics while we were on vacation. Our pets absolutely loved him and we felt really secure knowing they were in good hands. Would definitely book again!”
About: I am half way done with my schooling to become a veterinarian and have had 7 years working with animals in a professional setting. My experience and skills can come in handy if your pets need more help (medications, fluids, insulin etc). I also have 2 cats with heart issues myself so I am very familiar with handling special needs pets! My schedule right now allows me to have time for walks and drop in appointments if needed up to 3 times a day at your convenience I currently don’t offer care for pets in my home but in emergency cases, I can easily crate your pet if needed and if your pet is crate trained.
“Rachel was absolutely amazing from start to finish! She was very prompt with her response to my initial query, quickly scheduled a meet and greet, and came prepared with questions. She is very professional, reliable, and absolutely loves animals. Buster had a great time with Rachel! She stayed with him for three days and I came home to a spotless home and a happy dog. She reviewed all the instructions in depth and consistently provided me with updates and cute little videos of Buster. I will absolutely be using Rachel again in the future and can wholeheartedly recommend her to others.”
“Angelina did such a great job with my two big pups! She sent me pictures and kept me updated on how they were doing. I will definitely be booking her again! Thank you so much for taking such great care of my fur babies!”
About: I am a reliable and attentive animal lover who understands that pets are family (I grew up with dogs, cats, and a bird and tortoise!). Whether it’s long walks, playtime, cuddles, or sticking to a routine, I’ll treat your pet like my own. I’m currently a student at Claremont Grad University where I’m getting my teaching credential. My classes are online so I have flexible evenings. My weekends are generally available as well. I am very attentive of the animals in my care. I always strive to ensure they feel comfortable and happy while their parents are away!
About: I grew up with bunnies, chickens, and dogs! When my neighbors would go on vacation they'd always ask me to take care of their pets even as a child. I love hanging out with animals, their energy is my favorite and I love to cuddle with them. I wanted to learn more about horses so I volunteered to muck stalls just for a chance to learn how people care for them, that's the type of person I am. I also worked as a CNA for a number of years in the medical field so I feel comfortable administering medicines as directed and staying on top of puppy care, elderly care or just general medical dog care as directed. I'm currently looking for work so I'm flexible and free to stay with pets all day and overnight if you are comfortable with that. Whatever you are comfortable with. I know how important it is to trust someone in your home and with your pet. I'll respect your home and follow instructions carefully and try to keep to your pets routines so that they don't feel stress from a different person being with them.I'm attentive with walks and always ensure that gates are closed. If you like to receive regular photo updates I can send them as well to show how your pet is doing.
About: Having a special relationship with your pet is my number one goal. I want them to feel comfortable and relaxed and excited to see me for their walk. My son is currently attending college so my days are open to spend quality time with your sweet pet. My schedule is open to accommodate. Safety above all is my first priority, making sure that they are on their leashes before we even walk out of the house. Take poop bags.

FAQs for House Sitting - Mount Baldy
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 4,265 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Mount Baldy. 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 Mount Baldy 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 Mount Baldy 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 Mount Baldy 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.
