“Viky was incredible! Appreciated her being able to tackle on a last second house sitting and Monty was left in excellent care. She was incredibly communicatice throughout :)”
“Courtney did a fabulous job looking after our dog and house sitting while we were away. She kept him on his food and exercise schedule and gave us peace of mind - knowing that our dog was in great care while we were away.”
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!
“We had a family out of town wedding weekend to go to. Obviously, like the rest of the world we hadn't traveled anywhere in the last 18 months. We have 2 middle aged dogs who've grown accustomed to having us around all the time during lockdown. Imagine our relief when we found Rique from Rover. He stayed with the boys in our house for the weekend. It was seamless. They barely knew we were gone. Rique fed them exactly like we do. Rique walked them exactly where, when and how we walk them. When we got home the house looked great. Most importantly, the dogs were great. Rique has a fantastic, calm demeanor. He's communicative. He's friendly. Rique is great. Thanks Rique!!!”
“Destiny was great with my dog, River! When I returned home, he was so happy and well adjusted while we were gone. She was on top it the whole time we were away by sending pictures and updates. I would highly recommend her for anyone looking for someone kind, attentive and responsible with their fury animal.”
“Amber watched our dog Rufus and our house when we went away for a four day weekend. She did an amazing job, and we will definitely use her services again. She was great with Rufus and sent us pictures/texts throughout the weekend. She is extremely pleasant and responsible. We did not have to worry about Rufus or our house while we were away!”
“Liz was fantastic. Took maple to the park. Even took running. Maple loved it and her older sister manis did as well. If you need a great dog sitter/house sitter do not hesitate to hire Liz.”
“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….”
About: I am a dog mama to a 13 year old chihuahua who I've had the pleasure of caring for throughout every era of her life. Before that I cared for our family dog until his passing at the age of 18. I love pets of all ages, but find caring for senior animals to be a particular honor. Our pets bring so much joy to our lives and my goal as a pet sitter is to provide comfort, care and love to all animals. Especially while there human counterparts are out of town. As a pet mama, I understand the importance of sharing updates and communicating with my fellow pet parents! Btw I work from home so if I'm watching your babies, I'll be with them most of the time. I work as a freelance fashion designer and stylist, so as long as we discuss scheduling ahead of time, I will be very available to care for your pets! At this time I am only taking on clients with pets who are okay with me bringing my dog along. My pets practically run my household and I build my work and social schedule around whatever my pets may need!! While caring for my clients home/pets I make sure to provide all fur babies with the love and affection they not only require, but deserve. I implement enrichment practices such as walks or playtime as well as whatever each individual pet parent requests.
About: I have had dogs my whole life up to the last 10 months. I have always had a deep love for animals and found being raised with a dog to be a beautiful experience. I love the outdoors and go on walks, hikes and play games daily which the dogs love! dog sitting is my full time job so making sure your dogs needs are met is my priority. Going for daily hikes, walks and going to the park are a normal Day. I live in a 1 floor style bungalow with beautiful trails and parks surrounding catered to dogs. Having been a dog owner all my life, you can feel secure that your dog is safe at all times.
About: I have been around animals all my life and I often take better care of them than of myself. I am very good in reading animals and I have a calm energy that makes them feel at easy. I am already a dog mom with a pet routine. I am home most of the time. Available for boarding small dogs or housesit for larger dogs and cats I respect people's homes and their stuff and I keep it clean. I live in an apartment which is safer. No pet escapes with me.
“If there were six stars or even 10 I would give all those stars to Jay. We have used many dog sitters over the past 15 years with our Yorkshire terrier Max, and we have never felt a sense of security and happiness while away from Max like we did when we left him in Jay’ s excellent and capable care. Jay stayed in our home with Max, sent us photos and video every day to show how Max was doing - not to mention he left us some beautiful black-and-white Polaroids of Max that we will cherish forever. I would recommend Jay to anyone, especially those who may feel nervous about leaving their dog in someone else’s care. Not only did we find great care for Max but we all made a friend.”
“Michelle is a gift. My kitties were instantly friendly with her and she took wonderful care of them while I was away. She is communicative and sends cute pics throughout so I know they are well.”
About: Hi I go by Sprout! I am active person I love to do trails. As far as experience goes with my own dogs which have now passed on. So I now have experience with senior dogs. I have been through training for one because he hated men severely. He has since gotten better. I have open availability at the moment so I am able to take your dog out as needed II really can't wait to take out a dog that loves to run. I had two dogs of my own who are pretty well behaved and I would like to think it is because they are under my care. I am also very particular about what they eat and try to only feed them treats without any weird/artificial products in them. I also catsit!
“Blake was awesome and made sure my dogs got in nice long walks and plenty of playtime to get out their energy. He also went out of his way to accommodate my last minute schedule. I definitely recommend booking him and will book him again myself!”
About: I successfully fostered a husky-German mix from a rescue organization and helped her find her forever home! I spent the summer volunteering at the rescue, walking rescue dogs and helping raise awareness for them. I have always loved animals. I’m working part-time / self-employed so my schedule is really flexible ! I love taking walks and so walking dogs would fit naturally in my schedule. I will be very accommodating in the clients home; my reviews on Airbnb are good and others have trusted me in their home to leave it in good condition.
About: My own dog is reactive so she tends to get nervous with loud noises and is very wary of dogs. So, throughout the years, I’ve learned to notice specific tells and avoid things that can set her off. I’m also very familiar with dogs that tend to pull as I’ve walked the dogs of multiple friends and family before. I currently have two dogs of my own with one being a toy poodle and black labrador/shepherd mix. Both dogs are completely different from each other as their temperaments differ in which one is dog selective, vocal, and prefers people. The toy poodle is very social with people and doesn’t mind other dogs and is fairly relaxed. I have also done cat sitting when my cousin goes on vacation where I do daily check ins to her home. I am currently looking for a film related job as I begin to learn about my major so I have lots of free time. I am usually available in the mornings to noon. I can even do a bit more after noon. However, I do like to maintain a balance with my own dogs and caring for other people’s pets. Nights are possible mainly on the weekends, preferably Saturdays but depending on my schedule I can be flexible. In a clients home, I would make sure to quickly open or close the door so no pet can rush out and even before doing that I can make sure they are being distracted so they won’t get loose. This still applies to a home with a fence because cats are lithe creatures. I also like to make sure to ask the client if the pet has any behavioral concerns that I should keep in mind and if there is any supplements they have that they would like me to implement into their pet’s meals. Energy levels is always something that I like to inquire about as well so I know what to expect.
“Georgina was absolutely exceptional while caring for our dog, Kobe, during our 13-day trip. From start to finish, she went above and beyond in every way. She carefully administered Kobe’s medication, followed all of our instructions to the letter, and treated him with so much love and attention—it gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Beyond pet care, Georgina took incredible care of our home as well. She watered our plants, brought in the mail, and managed the garbage—everything was spotless and perfectly maintained when we returned. Her attention to detail is truly unmatched. What stood out most was her communication. She kept us consistently updated with messages and lots of photos, which made being away so much easier. We always felt in the loop and confident that everything was being handled beautifully. Georgina is responsible, thoughtful, and incredibly thorough. We feel so lucky to have found her and she will absolutely be our go-to sitter moving forward. Highly, highly recommend!”

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.
<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 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!

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 .
