About: I have taken care of all animal types from livestock to small animals like cats and reptiles. I grew up on a ranch in Colorado showing, training and raising goats, horses, rabbits, dogs, and more. I love animals and being active, and I’m excited to meet your furry family! I am currently a full time student at California Lutheran University and am free for walks and check ins on weekdays before 10:30am and after 4:30pm, full flexibility on weekends. I always treat your home and your pets with the same care and respect I’d want for my own. When I’m doing drop‑ins or house sitting, I keep your space tidy, follow all instructions closely, and make sure doors, gates, and crates are secured the way you prefer. Your animals safety is my top priority — I stick to familiar walking routes, avoid unsafe areas, and use your preferred leash, harness, and walking style. I’m attentive, calm, and patient with all animals, and I make sure they get the right mix of exercise, routine, and affection.You’ll always get clear communication and updates so you know exactly how your pet is doing while you’re away.

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Gaia was amazing with our two dogs! They are not always comfortable with new people, and Gaia went above and beyond to make sure they felt safe and comfortable with her. Before staying with them, she came over for multiple meet-and-greets just to spend time with them and let them get to know her at their own pace. That meant so much to us. She then stayed with them for a few days, and we were able to actually relax knowing they were in such good hands. She was incredibly patient, reliable, communicative, and genuinely caring. Most importantly, our dogs were happy and comfortable with her, which says everything. We would absolutely trust Gaia with them again and highly recommend her!”

About: What truly sets me apart is my background in fostering. Over the past four years, I’ve opened my home to 10+ foster dogs, giving me hands-on experience with a wide range of breeds, personalities, and needs — from energetic 8-week-old puppies to gentle 14-year-old seniors. Fostering has taught me that every dog is different. Some pups are social and playful right away, while others need patience and time to feel comfortable in a new environment. I focus on understanding each dog’s personality, routine, and preferences so they can feel at home. I intentionally care for one guest dog at a time, which allows me to provide personalized attention, maintain their routines, and give them the calm environment they deserve. I am also experienced and comfortable administering oral and topical medications, including supporting senior dogs and pups with specialized care needs. My goal is not just to provide a place for your dog to stay, but to create a home-like experience where they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Whether we’re enjoying walks, playtime, or simply relaxing at home, I treat every dog like a member of my own family. I offer flexible, personalized care throughout the week! I provide plenty of companionship, attention, and supervision throughout the day. Whether your pup is staying for a weekend getaway or a longer visit, I focus on maintaining their routine and helping them feel comfortable in a new environment. I am available for overnight stays, boarding, and extended care seven days a week. My goal is to provide a calm, home-like experience where your dog receives plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while you’re away. Your pup’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I treat every dog as an individual and focus on creating a calm, clean, and low-stress environment where they can feel at home. To provide the attention each dog deserves, I intentionally care for one guest dog at a time. This allows me to focus on their personality, routine, energy level, and unique needs — whether they are playful and active or prefer a slower, more relaxed pace. I enjoy keeping dogs active and engaged through regular walks, outdoor time, play, and mental stimulation tailored to their comfort level. My home also has a private patio where pups can relax and enjoy some supervised fresh air. I believe that pet parents know their dogs best, so I follow your routines closely — from feeding schedules and favorite activities to crate preferences and special care instructions. I am comfortable administering both oral and topical medications, including supporting senior dogs or pups with specific medical needs. Communication is important to me, and I’m happy to arrange a Meet & Greet before your dog’s stay so we can build trust and make sure it is the right fit. During stays, I provide regular photos and updates so you can feel confident knowing your pup is safe, comfortable, and receiving personalized care.

About: Hi, I’m Christian, and I’ve been pet sitting for over five years. I truly love caring for animals and am proud to have five repeat clients who trust me with their pets and homes. I care for dogs, cats, fish, and other household pets of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior pets, including those that require medication. I offer both drop-in visits (15 minutes) and overnight stays, including feeding, fresh water, dog walks, playtime, potty breaks, litter box cleaning, and plenty of love and attention. I’m also happy to help with basic household tasks while you’re away, such as bringing in mail, watering plants, taking out the trash, and keeping an eye on your home. For added peace of mind, I’m certified in CPR, AED, and First Aid. My goal is to make sure your pets are happy, safe, and comfortable while you’re away, so you can travel with confidence. My schedule is flexible, and I’m available for 15-minute drop-in visits in the early morning, afternoon, and evening. Whether your pet needs a potty break, feeding, medication, playtime, or a quick check-in, I’m happy to provide reliable care throughout the day. I believe the foundation of great care is trust, safety, and communication. My goal is to create a calm, comfortable, and positive environment where pets feel secure and owners have complete peace of mind while they’re away. Every pet has unique needs and routines, and I take the time to provide personalized care, patience, and attention to ensure they feel happy, safe, and loved. You can count on me to be reliable, respectful of your home, and committed to treating your pets as if they were my own.

About: I’ve been an animal lover and pet owner my entire life! I’ve cared for a wide variety of animals, including chickens, goats, cats, and dogs, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I also had the rewarding experience of raising a guide dog, which taught me responsibility, patience, and how to work with dogs in training. I’m comfortable administering medications to both dogs and cats and am committed to providing attentive, reliable care so your pets feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’m currently home from college for the summer so I am available all day for stays and visits. I have a car so I am able to get to your pet whenever you need! I am a very interactive and engaged pet sitter who believes pets are more than just animals, they’re cherished members of the family. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to know your pet is receiving the same love, attention, and care that they get from you. I tailor my care to each pet’s personality and needs, whether that means playing fetch, going on walks, grooming, providing enrichment and playtime, or simply keeping them company and giving them plenty of affection. My goal is to make sure your pet feels comfortable, happy, and loved while you’re away, and to give you peace of mind knowing they’re in caring and capable hands.

About: Because of my career in the field of applied behavior analysis, I have a deep understanding of pet behavior. I am great at learning new skills and approaches. I find that this helps me tailor my skillset for each furry friend entrusted to my care. I work remotely and my schedule is pretty flexible so I can care for my dog and yours. This flexibility allows me to consider pet care easily in my schedule. I have a fenced yard for sun bathing. I understand that having your doggy’s best friend gone is stressful enough so I understand the importance to abide by your personal routines and particular tasks that may sound silly to someone else.

I am not working at this time so my schedule is very flexible. I can stay at your home the full time you are away or just do drop ins. Whatever you need. I do not offer care in my home but will be happy to stay with your pets at your home which puts your pets in a more comfortable environment.

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!

FAQs for House Sitting - Newbury Park

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Newbury Park on Rover is $56 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $34 and $101 per night. sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 8,082 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.

<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 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 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.
