“As someone with 4 creepy herding dogs who aren’t usually interested in bonding, I cannot recommend Kailey enough. She made going out of town so low stress for me and like a vacation for them - she will 100% be my go-to pet sitter from now on! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Emily is an amazing sitter!! She watched our 13 week old Golden Retriever puppy for 2.5 days and was so incredible with him. He can be a handful, but she is so patient and caring. Highly recommend her and we will be using her a lot more in the future!”
About: I have owned all sorts of animals my entire life. From dogs to cats, to pigs and chickens, and I have experience caring for all of them. I have regular clients on Rover who I walk for weekly. I have also done multiple drop-ins for people’s cats and dogs in the past. Tasks included feeding, cleaning, and changing litter. I feel so connected to animals and I love spending time with them. They will always be a part in my life. I am pretty open regarding my schedule. Sundays I am only available after 1pm. I prefer not to take walks after 5pm but sometimes I will! On walks I always make sure to be aware of my surroundings and avoid other dogs just in case. For drop-ins I would ensure that all water and food bowls are full/food is given based on strict instructions from the owner. I wouldn’t mind playing with the pets as well!
“I hired Gabrielle to mind my home and kitty Bonnie( Daisy didnot come to stay) for 4 and half weeks. She listened carefully to all my instructions regarding my houseplants, mail , trash , and what to do in emergencies, and attended to all faithfully . she is a smart girl and responsible . She has a lot of experience with cats and Bonnie is challenging in her shyness and bonding , but she was able to connect very well and they were soon great friends as the photos she sent me showed . When I returned the home was tidy , and she had been very respectful of the space . Bonnie was happy and playful , and I was very pleased. I can recommend Gabrielle without reservation to anyone catowner .”
“We are so grateful for Austin’s taking care of our Doberman Fred. From the very beginning Austin was super responsive, came over to meet our dog to make sure they are a right match. Afterwards Austin returned to observe Fred’s habits couple more times and to walk him with me. During our 1 week trip he remained in contact with us with frequent updates, helping us with our separation anxiety. The dog and the house were in one piece upon our return (even with some treats left for Fred and us, along with a sweet note ). We would recommend Austin to any dog owner wanting to have a peace of mind during their absence and looking forward to having him over dog sitting again in the future.”
“Tawny did a great job looking after my senior Great Pyrenees, who needs a lot of patience as well as having some specific medical needs. Very grateful for the excellent job, thank you Tawny!”
“Loved working with Alex, he is extremely attentive to details and he not only took the best care of our dog but exceptional care of the house as well. Would recommend him to everyone!”
“We left our 14 yo velcro dog with Sara for the weekend. He was clearly well loved while we were gone. We got regular updates & photos and he was obviously very happy. Our house was left clean as well. We'd definitely have Sara care for Sunny again. Thank you for making Sunny's weekend and paying the cheese tax multiple times!”
“Taylor is amazing!!! She watched our two dogs for a few days and everything went so smoothly. She is caring, attentive, and very communicative. She updated us everyday with photos and let us know her schedule and if there any concerns we had which I really I appreciated. I am planning to book her for future sittings since my girls love her🙌🏻💕🐾”
“Bella was an absolutely amazing house sitter for our dog and cat while we were away for 10 days. She was very communicative, responsive, caring and loving. She spoiled our fur babies tons, ensured they were taken care of and also followed directions for daily medications for our dog and calmed her during her partial seizures. When our dog and cat met Bella they instantly bonded with her during the initial visit and it was evident that bond grew stronger with the pictures and messages she sent daily, which also put us at ease while we were away. We came home to a clean house and happy fur babies. I would recommend Bella to others with stellar reviews.”
“Lexy thank you for always coming through when we are in a pinch! Trust you so much with Midnight and he LOVES you! Thank you for everything! Midnight can’t wait for his next hangout with you!”
“Jeremy is a true professional! Came early and made sure my furbaby had everything he needed and followed his schedule to a T. I highly recommend Jeremy and his services and look forward to booking him again. Thank you Jeremy!”
“Jacqui was very responsive and timely with all communications and visits. Our dog liked her from the very first visit and so did we. She sent us pictures and updates often, which was helpful and reassuring. We felt our pup was well taken care of while we were out of town. We will definitely use Jacqui again in the future and would recommend her to others!”
“Another fantastic play date with Kevin and Jibo. Jibo has decided he owns his friend Kevin. They have a great time together and we feel a huge relief knowing Jibo is in good hands when we go for extended periods of time.”
“I can't recommend Jeff enough! We have used him for several walks and used him for our first overnight. My 3 dogs absolutely adore him!! He is very pleasant to be around, clean, trustworthy, and very knowledgeable. We will definitely be using his services as long as we can. We truly can't thank you enough Jeff!!!”
“Well we popped her cherry for her first time dog sitting g. She was outstanding. She came to our hotel and hung out with Stash all evening. Sent pictures and Stash was very content and happy later in the evening. Not a stressed out crazed puppy. She will definitely be a great addition to the rover team!”
“Autumn was great with our three cats! She made sure to provide constant updates when she visited and made she they got so much love and attention in addition to their daily needs. I would highly recommend her!”

We couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter for our 2 dogs and parrot during our 9-day trip! Demika was incredibly communicative the whole time, letting us know each morning when she arrived to feed everyone, sending photos of the pets throughout the day, and checking in again when she left for the night. That level of consistency gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Demika is responsible, punctual, and has such a warm, outgoing personality that our pets took to her immediately. You could tell they were genuinely happy and well cared for, not just fed and watered. We'll absolutely be booking her again and recommend Demika without hesitation to anyone needing a trustworthy, attentive pet sitter.
I cannot say enough about how wonderful Gwenyth was while sitting my dog Bogey while we were away. Bogey never took to a new person the way he did with Gwenyth. She constantly sent photos and updates, played with him and was never away for long. We returned to an immaculate home and a very happy Bogey. I would highly recommend Gwen as a pet sitter.
Gaby took care of our three pups while we were away for several days. She did a fantastic job keeping us informed and our pups loved her! She made the entire process flow smoothly, which eased my anxiety about leaving and allowed me to relax and enjoy our family vacation. 100% recommend Gaby, and we will definitely book her for any of our future times away from home. Thank you Gaby!
Nicole is great! Part of me wants to gatekeep her but she deserves the recognition. This is the second time we’ve used her, and once again she was wonderful. She communicated regularly, sent plenty of pictures and updates, and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We would absolutely book with her again and recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.
Justine was absolutely amazing with our dog! Our pup was recovering from an abscess, wearing a cone, and needed antibiotics twice a day, so we were definitely anxious about leaving her but Justine handled everything so thoughtfully and carefully. We received regular pictures and updates, which gave us so much peace of mind, and it was obvious our dog felt safe, loved, and comfortable the whole time. We came home to a happy dog and could not be more grateful. We would absolutely book with Justine again and highly recommend her!
Johanna was a life saver for us with my sweet, 2 year old Golden who had a previously traumatizing experience having been boarded at a lovely facility but one not meant for her personality . She requires a lot of attention, love and comfort and is not great with being alone. Johanna provided all of that and more. There was not one day I didnt feel at ease knowing my pup was in the very best of hands and we were updated on the regular with photos and videos of their time together. Johanna is a gem of a human who loves these pets like her own and takes the utmost care and responsibility for their feelings, feedings, and everything in between while owners are out. Im so grateful for Johanna and her devotion to her work as is our pup. Core memories plugged for all. Thank you, Johanna. ♥️
Sierra was amazing. We were gone for six days. Sierra cared for our two dogs and two cats. Sierra’s communication w us was perfect. We never worried for a second. The house was in clean condition when we returned. We are so happy with the care our animals received from Sierra. Will definitely use her services in the future. Thank you so much Sierra!!!!!
Sky did more than just take care of our dogs she kept the whole house running. We have a 400 gallon reef fish tank and she took care of that on top of our 5 month old golden doodle our 8 year old frenchie, and we have a 16 year old Pomeranian in diapers. Sky was so on top of everything she even gave the dogs a bath before we came home. 10/10 would rehire and recommend. She leads with love and you can really tell she loves what she does!
Katia and Luben are the BEST! I cannot say enough wonderful things about them. I can tell my dogs miss them. They are so loving, so kind, so helpful. I was out of state for a week and I had absolutely no worries. I got lots of pictures, videos and updates everyday. My home and my dogs were taken care of beautifully. Katia and Luben are my angels!
Best. Petsitting experience. Ever! Freddy went well above and beyond with our babies and our home – truly the most considerate, thoughtful sitter we’ve ever had. He took out the trash, stripped the sheets, cleaned up the yard, washed all the dog food containers, pulled in packages, and even left a sweet note that absolutely made our day. None of it was expected, and all of it meant so much to us. He texted us with photos & updates throughout our trip, and we knew they were in the best hands - so much love & attention. Our dogs were so happy and relaxed when we got home, and the house was spotless. Freddy is hands-down the best sitter we’ve had in 4.5 years and we would hire him again in a heartbeat. Absolutely incredible!
This was our first time using a Rover sitter. Jasmine was wonderful, stopping by a few days ahead of time to get acquainted with Penny. She kept us updated while we were out of town which made us feel more comfortable. We will definitely use Jasmine again the next time we go out of town.

FAQs for House Sitting - Newbury Park
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Newbury Park on Rover is $61.05 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 7,987 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Newbury Park. 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 Newbury Park 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 Newbury Park 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 Newbury Park 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.

- 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.
