“Viky was a really amazing house sitter for my cats! She was even able to clip their nails! I got many updates and she was really communicative. I will definitely be hiring her for house sitting in the future.”
“Courtney is great! She made an effort to get to know my dog and took really good care of her, keeping me informed through pictures and texts. When I returned home, my dog didn't want her to leave!”
“Mike was an excellent dog sitter! Our dog has separation anxiety and he was very excited to hang out with Mike for the day. He was professional and friendly and we will definitely hire him again!”
“Fantastic three days! Carrie was thoughtful, communicative, and always on time. She took such wonderful, gentle care of our senior pup. Will definitely be booking again!”
“Tamar was fantastic with my four-year-old husky. She has a husky herself so she understood the nuances.She was very attentive and stayed for long periods of time. She sent a lot of pictures and updates. The communication is superb and follow up was really appreciated. Tamar was very respectful of my house, I definitely recommend using Tamar for housesitting.”
“Christopher was an amazing caretaker for our dogs. He sent us pictures, diligently cared for them, and really enjoyed his time with them. The dogs were so well taken care of. We can’t recommend him enough.”
“Mari is truly exceptional! She cared for Sabine for two weeks while we were out of the country, and we couldn’t have felt more comfortable leaving her in Mari’s care. She is exceptionally skilled, communicative, thoughtful, and adaptable, the best qualities for someone caring for your dog and home for an extended stay. During the sit, we had an unexpected water break behind the house, and Mari handled the situation incredibly well. She showed excellent judgment, stayed calm and communicative, and took care of what needed to be done without us having to worry from afar. Most importantly, Sabine absolutely adores her. She seemed so happy, relaxed, and incredibly well cared for when we got home. We feel very lucky to have found Mari and would trust her with Sabine and our home again without hesitation.”
“Chelsea is the best! We’ve had many sitters over the years, but our current pet mix requires someone special. We have a 16-year-old chihuahua with multiple meds and a very specific routine, and a barely 1-year old male golden retriever. On top of that, it was pouring rain, making puppy exercise really difficult. She has strong communication skills, sending us regular updates and pictures. Chelsea was creative in problem solving and we never worried! Our dogs were happy and our home was in one piece upon return.”
About: I been taking care of dogs since I remember… I would love your dog as if it was my own… I am very patient with puppies & willing to train them while they spend some time at my casita. I currently have the most perfect work schedule with a lot of availability that I would love to take care of your furry babies on my days off. I have a fenced backyard! A lot of room to run around… I have to two dogs of my own that would love to have more friends!
“Hailey is absolutely amazing! She takes the best care of my babies (big chocolate lab baby and sassy little cat) and they adore her! I feel no stress when I’m out of town knowing they are in good hands”
“Katherine was such a great help for us when we went to Japan. She provided many pictures and updates and took the puppies on many walks. I plan on booking her in the future.”
“Deana was so kind and trustworthy. She seems to be the first Rover that my very spoiled maldita actually liked and felt comfortable with in a short period of time. She knew exactly how to care for dogs that are special in character, and I can tell Deana has a good heart for our furry babies. She's really cool too and very easy to talk to. She sent me photos and gave me updates! Highly recommended! So happy to have her care for our Wendie, and will definitely have her care for my spoiled girl again whenever we need to go Universal Studios and Disneyland! Hope she takes us back! THANK YOU D!”
“Kiyomi took such good care of our two dogs while our family was on vacation that we were able to truly enjoy our vacation without worrying about anything. Our lucky dogs got more walks than they get with us on a normal basis, and she even did some light training or reinforcement of training and games with them to keep their interest up. She sent batches pf photos daily with an update of what they did that day which our kids loved since they missed the dogs so much. And our dogs looked so happy and relaxed in the photos - I could tell they were very comfortable with Kiyomi. Would definitely rebook Kiyomi the next time we are out of town.”
“Dennis is an excellent dog sitter! He is friendly, polite, welcoming... Just the kind of energy that makes your furry loved one have a great experience with him. He also is a good communicater with texts and pics of the visit...putting your mind at ease while you are out. If you are in the DTLA or surrounding area... Would recommend Dennis!”
About: *For boarding and day care, your loved one would be staying in a dog-free fenced-in home, allowing for a calm, low-stress environment with individualized attention. I only provide care for one client household at a time* Hi, I’m Steven—a retired restaurant manager who brings the same responsibility, consistency, and attention to detail to pet care. I’m calm, patient, and dependable, helping dogs feel safe and relaxed. I’ve been professionally caring for dogs for over 20 years and house sit for regular clients throughout most of the year - I am away from home often. Many of those clients have encouraged me to open more availability on Rover so more pet parents can benefit from the care I provide when I'm staying home. I do especially well with dogs who thrive on steady routines, gentle handling, and clear communication. Whether your dog is energetic or laid-back, I focus on reliable, attentive care and ensuring they feel comfortable and well looked after at all times. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I’m retired and have open availability. I do not have competing work commitments, so I can give your dog consistent attention throughout the day rather than fitting care around another job. I can maintain their usual feeding schedule, walks, medication routine, playtime, rest, and companionship. Because I care for dogs from only one client household at a time, I’m able to provide the flexibility, supervision, and individualized attention each dog deserves. I am Red Cross Cat and Dog First Aid Certified. Every pet is unique, so I tailor care to their individual needs, routine, and comfort habits. Whether I’m caring for your dog in my home or yours, I closely follow your instructions for feeding, walks, medications, exercise, and any special care needs to help keep their routine as familiar as possible. Safety always comes first. I maintain a calm, low-stress environment and use secure entry and exit procedures, careful leash handling, and close supervision during walks, outdoor time, and play. For boarding and day care in my home, I provide care for dogs from only one client household at a time, helping avoid the stress and risks that can come with unfamiliar group settings. My goal is for your dog to feel safe, understood, and genuinely cared for while you’re away.
“Sara was awesome with our 9 year old Lab/Pit mix! I am so grateful! She did everything that was asked of her and more, took pictures and kept me updated on how our dog was doing. So grateful!!! I would definitely recommend her.”
“We had an absolutely fantastic experience with Diana. She was so great with our cats, send us the cutest, funniest updates on their antics and overall was incredibly flexible, responsive and took great care of our home. 10/10. Thank you Diana! See you next time :)”
“Justin provided an excellent service! He connected with my dog Cometa and ensure he was exercised, fed, safe, and well cared! Cometa was relaxed and happy! I found him calm and secured at my arrival! I will continue having Justin taking care of my dog as many times as my dog needs service! Justin is dependable, responsible, nurturing and committed to provide de best service possible. I’m very grateful and happy with his service. Gracias, gracias, gracias….”
“Zoey went above and beyond taking care of my dog, Peppa, giving her extra care and comfort during our city’s fireworks show. Right off the bat when we first met Zoey we got an excellent first impression. She is very warm, friendly, and trustworthy and was great with our Peppa.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Mount Wilson
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 14,059 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Mount Wilson. 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 Wilson 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 Wilson 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 Wilson 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 Mount Wilson. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
