“She provided an exceptional dog sitting/care for my dog Zora while I was in Chicago. She stayed on top with texting me updates with her feeding and daily walks. So happy for my dog Zora to be at the comfort of her own home while I was gone! Highly recommend Lizette (Toni Jo) for your pet’s care!”
“Angela was wonderful with our Annie, prompt and attentive and kept us updated throughout out the day with photos. Angela was very personable. We are on vacation and so happy she was available to watch Annie on the days we're out and about.”
About: I have been raised with dogs my whole life. I've been taught to treat them like family. Animals are my weakness. I go out of my way to make them happy. I love playing with dogs. Walking them. Teaching them. Most importantly loving them. My house will be your dogs home away from home. They will get so much love here from me and my kids. If they are older my kids no how to be gentle or just stay away. I will make sure they are safe and happy at all times. I can do as many walks as needed. Potty breaks are no problem with my big fenced yard. I do not leave dogs out for too long especially in the heat. We will have play time daily. They will get to sleep in my daughters room with her even on the bed if they prefer. There will be someone here at all times to watch them. I would love to meet you and your babies and become apart of their family. I also watch any other fur babies you may have! With my part time job I have plenty of time to spend with your babies. When they are with me they are my priority. All other activities are put on hold. We do as little as possible to make sure we spend as much time with your babies while they are with us. I have a fenced in backyard and a home they are welcomed in as family. Nice comfy twin sized bed for sleep! They will be spoiled!! I am an early riser so your pups will get to get out and enjoy the weather early. We will have plenty of playtime throughout the day. And daily walks. The pups needs are always put first. I want to be their home away from home. My home is their home and my fenced back yard offers plenty of play time!
“Kaitlyn was incredible! She went above and beyond to care for my dog and he absolutely loved her. I felt super comforted by the fact that he was with someone so caring while I was away”
About: I've helped take care of dogs for friends and family since I graduated from college in 2016. I'm a thoroughbred jockey currently off riding due to injury, and apprenticing to become a dog trainer. I have multiple friends that train dogs professionally, my personal dog sees multiple trainers regularly, and I learn new things every day. From obedience to behavior to nutrition, I value all of the practical use, knowledge, and love I can apply to any dog I get the opportunity to work with! I'm a thoroughbred jockey currently off riding due to injury. I have a lot of free time now, and I've started to fill it by gaining as much knowledge and practice in professional pet and sport training for dogs and cats. Rover is a way I may be able to help out my community by applying everything I'm learning for pets and people that need someone that cares about their animals the way I've cared about animals my whole life. At home, I have two lovely house cats and one rambunctious puppy. My cats like their space and will ask for love when they want it. My puppy needs structure in his day to balance activity, learning, enrichment, and rest. I am more than comfortable providing the kind of care any client wants for their furry family members. Whether that's daily enrichment, getting out in the world, or learning an off switch at home. I'm familiar with excited jumping on guests and earning trust from nervous or shy animals. I have Ruffland crash tested kennels in my car and can provide enrichment and new adventures if requested! If you don't have a fenced area around your home, and you are comfortable with it, I do have 20ft long lines I can use so the dogs get a chance to be outside to play and do their business while also ensuring their safety. I've always been an animal lover, and now that I have free time in my life, I want to provide knowledge and time for other animals and their humans that need a helping hand.
“We didn’t get to use Diane this time. Our 14 year old Border Collie, Mouse, passed right before Diane was supposed to sit. My husband ended up canceling his trip and stayed home with our cats. However, Diane was very professional and friendly during our meet and greet and extremely empathetic upon finding out about Mouse.”
About: I’ve had pets for as long as I can remember, including your not so normal fur friends, like a baby deer, chinchillas, sugar gliders, raccoons, a squirrel and that is where my love of all animals started. My mother would nurse back to health any animal she could and taught me the care and respect animals deserve. I’ve been a professional pet sitter for 15 years and come with a plethora of references. My pet sitting skills also include care for senior pets that require medications, and syringe feeding. I would love to be the one your trust for your fur pets! I do have a full time job. I work 8:30 to 4:30 Mon-Thursday and get off at 12:30 pm on Fridays. I’m off every Saturday and Sunday. I would make sure to feed and let everyone out in the mornings, and come spend the night at your house for the rest of the evening so your beloved pet doesn’t have the stress of being somewhere they don’t recognize, so they can relax and be comfortable at home while you’re away. I take pride in knowing every pet’s unique quirks, whether that be to have to add special human food to their bowl, needing to be hand fed, a special dinner feeding song, or having to act like you’re cooking their food on the stove. I’ve seen them all and I take pride in assuring you your babies will be taken care of with the utmost respect and care you give them yourself. I’m also experienced in giving medications. I do not offer pet care on my own home. My care can include drop ins only if needed, or full overnight care.

“Claire did a wonderful job watching my two very high energy, crazy pups! She left the house in great shape which made it so much easier when I returned home. Really appreciate her help!”
About: I’ve taken care of many dogs since I was 10. Family and friends have relied on me to walk, feed and love on their animals. I have a very flexible full time job that allows me to come and go as needed. I always check my schedule to make sure I can. I like to meet the family and pets before I start so that they know who I am and am not a stranger to them. I currently have three family’s that rely on me when they go out of town.
“Kristin was awesome with our dogs. When she came for the first meeting our dogs had no issues with her so we knew it was going to be a great fit for them. She was communicative during her stay while sitting at our home. She sent pictures and was all around a great sitter. We will definitely use Kristin again in the future!”
“Dallas was amazing! Another sitter had to cancel on us last minute and she was able to step in on super short notice which was a life saver. She was super communicative, sent us lots of updates and photos of our pup, and gave him good walks and exercise. We could tell when we got home he was happy and had a good time with Dallas. We'd definitely book her again.”

About: Pharmacy tech, very knowledgeable and familiar with administering medication to animals.* I’ve been rescuing animals since I was 8yrs old, I have a lot experience with young animals as well as senior care. I’ve never met an animal that I wasn’t able to make comfortable and build a bond with! I’m currently a stay at home mom, my baby would be next door at my parents during boarding. I’m excited to get the opportunity to enjoy your furbaby while being able to provide for my baby❤️ Depending on your preferences, I’d enjoy being hands on with your furbaby. I enjoy going for walks and runs. Lots of play time and engagement
About: Something that sets me apart from other sitters is my versatile background interacting with and caring for a wide range of furry friends — from dogs, to cats, to bunnies, to birds! I also have my own 3 year old golden retriever, who has taught me the responsibilities that come with owning a pet, such as regular exercise, a healthy diet, and tons of affection of course! I promise that I can provide the utmost safe, playful, and friendly environment for your pet(s), and can’t wait to meet you! I’m currently a full time dental student, we works from 8-12 and 2-5. I am able to go home during lunch, and I am very close to the school, so it takes me 10 minutes max to get to and from the school! I’m available all weekends and week nights! I live with two other young girls, and we live on a safe culdesac with a completely fenced in backyard, and our yard backs up to a local park, which is perfect for games of fetch and quick walks! I am serious about leash safety, and always make sure other dogs are on leashes when interacting with my own dog.

The average cost of House Sitting in Mount Eden is $29 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $29 and $29 per night.

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 Eden 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 Eden 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 Mount Eden 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
