About: Working as a teacher and pet sitter have taught me many of the same skills: patience, communication, responsibility, and genuine care. I’ve traveled across the U.S. to pet sit for both cats and dogs, and I enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality and routine. I’m attentive to owners’ instructions and take their trust seriously. Whether it’s keeping up with a feeding schedule, making sure a dog gets plenty of exercise, or giving a shy cat some extra space and patience, I do my best to make pets feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I’m also respectful of your home and always aim to leave a place as clean—or cleaner—than I found it. Most importantly, I treat every pet as an individual and want both you and your pet to feel comfortable and confident while you’re away. I currently work as a substitute teacher, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I have plenty of time before and after work to provide attentive care, and I’m generally able to adjust my schedule around a pet’s needs. I live a calm lifestyle and enjoy spending time at home, so pets get plenty of attention, companionship, and care throughout the day. I have a safe, comfortable home with a backyard where pets can get some fresh air and space to explore. I also live right next to a park with a designated pet area and plenty of greenery, which makes it easy to provide regular walks and outdoor time. I want pets in my care to feel comfortable and at home, while also following their owner’s routines, instructions, and preferences.
“Christopher and his wife were absolutely amazing with our two dogs, Tofu and Turbo, during their nearly three-week stay. They went above and beyond, even caring for our dogs during the challenging LA fires, ensuring they were safe and well taken care of. We were so impressed by their attentiveness, kindness, and the love they showed our pups. It gave us great peace of mind to know Tofu and Turbo were in such capable hands. Highly recommend!”
“Diana was incredible with our pup! She was his first sitter and she made him feel so comfortable. Within the first hour he was cuddled up with her on the couch, a true sign he felt safe and happy! Would highly recommend!”
“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….”

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.

About: I've loved and cared for dogs my whole life, from family dogs growing up to walking, feeding, and sitting for neighbors, friends, and family. I'm reliable, active, and genuinely happy around animals — whether that's long walks, playtime, or just good company. I'm flexible, quick to respond, and I'll treat your dog with the same care I'd want for my own. I've grown up with both dogs and cats, so multi-pet homes are no problem, and I'll always send photo updates so you know your pup is happy. I work full-time, so I give pets my full attention in the evenings and all weekend — that's when I'm most available for walks and drop-in visits. I'm an active person, so your dog gets real exercise and playtime, not just a quick potty break. I'm quick to respond and flexible about building a schedule that works for you and your pet, and I'll always keep you posted with photos and updates. I care for pets like they're my own. Since I come to you for walks and drop-ins, I look after your pet right in your home — following your routines exactly for feeding, walks, and house rules, and keeping doors and gates secure so no one slips out. I'm calm, attentive, careful with your keys and your space, and I leave things just as I found them. I'll send photo updates every visit so you always know your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.
“This is the third time we have hired Anne to stay at our house to watch our dog, and I would highly recommend her! Our dog always seems happy when we we return and the house is immaculate.”
“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!”
“Rique watched our three pups (one of whom is special needs) for 4days/3 nights. He was super responsive and great at sending updates. In addition to watching the pups, he remade our bed with fresh sheets (!) and left the house clean--a feat considering that our pups are on the larger side of medium (~50-80 lbs) and energetic. We will be using Rique whenever we have petsitting needs and highly recommend him.”
“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.”
“Julia was excellent - she took great care of Chaco and gave us updates throughout the day to let us know how well he was being taken care of. We are definitely looking to rebook Julia in the future.”
“Cory is the absolute sweetest. I had Cory watch my senior dog in my home for a few days, and I felt so great knowing my old girl could be looked after in a place she was familiar with. Cory sent me lots of updates and my pup looked so happy to be snuggled up while we were away!”
About: I’m a dependable and attentive pet caregiver with experience caring for dogs and cats of different breeds, ages, and temperaments. I’ve handled daily walks, feeding schedules, medication administration, playtime, and overnight care while making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m especially good at adapting to each pet’s personality — whether that means keeping up with high-energy dogs or being patient with anxious or senior pets. My goal is always to give owners peace of mind knowing their pets are in caring and responsible hands. I’m currently a student and have a very flexible schedule and will be happy to accommodate you. Please feel free to reach out to me. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, calm, and pet-friendly environment with lots of supervision, exercise, and interaction throughout the day. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality and energy level to make sure they feel secure, comfortable, and well cared for.
About: Hi there! I am an Aussie working (hybrid) in LA with over 8yrs of consistent pet sitting experience and a lifetime of loving and living with pets. My experience is expansive; from helping birth puppies to caring for senior animals who were on their last legs. My work is 90% remote which makes my schedule compatible with the needs of most pets and if extra care or time is required my work is flexible in that I can adapt accordingly. Working from home or “remote” means I have lots of time to love on the animals who need attention. I keep doors and gates secure, follow your feeding and medication routines, and send regular updates so you can relax.

FAQs for House Sitting - Mount Wilson
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 14,055 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
