“David has taken care of our home and animals a few times now. Communicate is great and it’s very clear that David is kind and thoughtful with his interactions with animals and their care. He always leaves the home tidy as well.”


About: Hi everyone! My experience in pet-sitting includes taking care of my childhood dog for most of my life. Previously I've worked at PetSmart as a dog groomer, ensuring that all the dogs were well-bathed and taken care of. I've also taken care of my friends cats over the years. I love all animals, and I am extremely attuned to the behavior and feelings of cats, which is why I am close with all of the neighborhood cats and frequently interact with them. I am passionate about pet care because I believe they deserve the best treatment and love. I’m available most days to take care of your cat or dog. I work part-time so I have many availabilities. I am flexible with times as well, I just need a 3-day notice beforehand. My pet care is rooted in attentiveness and trust. I am always paying attention to the pet's needs, while also making sure that I create a bond with them so they feel comfortable and at ease.
About: I’ve had a few steady pet sitting/walking jobs in the last few years. I worked as a dog walker for an amazing woman in Malibu for her 5 dogs and walked 5x a week ~3.5 hours a day. I’ve also done many overnight stays in people’s homes for their cats/dogs when they are out for weekend getaways or longer vacations. I have my own dog (Stormy, Chow 2.5 years old) and absolutely love her to death! I’d love to spend time with your pets whether they just want companionship, walks, playtime, or overnights. I’ve had experience with high energy, low energy, various breeds, you name it. Send me a message if you have any questions to see if I would be a good fit for you! I currently have a flexible schedule, as I work remote and can WFH. I am currently available to do overnights, walks, and drop ins as needed. Coming into your home I will treat your pets just as I would treat my own!(: Each individual circumstance depends on the client’s and pet’s needs and will be discussed on a case-by-case basis.
About: I have a lifelong passion for animals and believe pets are family members deserving of dedicated, thoughtful care. Since the age of 12, I have had cats of my own and have regularly provided comfort and care for friends' and family's cats as well, giving me years of hands-on experience with feline behavior and needs. In 2020, I helped raise my family's golden retriever from puppyhood, managing crate training, obedience training, daily exercise, grooming, and all aspects of routine care. She turns 7 in January 2027, and I have supported her needs through every stage of life. I recently provided care for a 17-year-old small dog with heightened attention needs and separation anxiety, ensuring he stayed comfortable, calm, and well supported. I also share my home with two cats, ages 4 and 1, which has given me ongoing, daily experience with animals of varying ages, temperaments, and energy levels. When you entrust your pet to me, you can expect a consistent routine, attentive supervision, and regular photo updates so you always know how they are doing. Working part-time from home gives me the flexibility to build pet care into my everyday routine. I'm available Tuesday through Saturday for at-home care, both day and night, so I can be attentive to feeding schedules, walks, and any special needs throughout the whole day rather than just squeezing visits in around a fixed schedule. This flexibility also means I can respond quickly if a pet needs extra attention or company. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow their established routine closely, including feeding times, walks, and any specific instructions. I focus on keeping pets comfortable, safe, and engaged, while providing attentive companionship, especially for anxious or senior pets.
“Tawny was excellent with our dog, Daisy. Daisy is usually pretty skittish, but she warmed up to Tawny quicker than we thought. Tawny also took good care of our house and left it in better condition than when she arrived. We highly recommend her!”

“Absolutely fabulous! Michele is the best pet sitter I have ever had the pleasure of having for any of my dogs. She immediately bonded with Oliver, who is a real Mama’s boy. Lovely photos were sent daily of Oliver going on multiple walks, cuddling and enjoying his time with her. She was very attentive of his needs. Michele is a treasure”

“Elizabeth was amazing! My dog was taken care of the entire time I was gone and I was sent a ton of images to stay up to date. I will 1000% keep rebooking with her in the future to watch my dog.”

I am an enthusiastic and energetic worker who is fun yet safe, consistent and responsible, honest and affordable! Because I am trained to work with wildlife, I am able handle a variety of sizes, temperaments and breeds of domestic and exotics including farm animals, reptiles, birds, cats, dogs and any other pet you may have! I also have vet tech, medication administration and rehabilitation experience with a variety of species. An avid hiker and years of experience under my belt, I am ready to serve you and your pet's needs! I am available on short term notice, weekdays, weekends, short or extended stays as well as holidays. Please feel free to email, text or call me for more information! About this sitter: Current member of Pet Sitters Associates, Professional United Pet Sitters. Certified in Pet First Aid & CPR. Vet tech/medication administration experience. Honest, reliable, safe and trustworthy. Why I love dog sitting Animals have always been a priority in my life; I have been around dogs, cats, birds, exotics and farm animals for over 2 decades. Meet my pets **Please note that a "meet and greet" (a visit at your home) is required before we book your trip. My experience administering medication I am experienced in administering minor veterinary services (shots, fluids, medication, etc) to a variety of animals: cats dogs birds exotics farm animals

About: I have experience caring for pets of different ages, sizes, personalities, and needs. I’m comfortable caring for both cats and kittens, as well as dogs of different sizes and energy levels. I have experience with young kittens, senior dogs, and a blind dog who needed extra patience, attention, and help getting around safely. I’ve also given medications to cats and understand how important it is to follow a pet’s routine and any special instructions. I really enjoy spending time with pets and making sure they feel happy, comfortable, and cared for. I love going on walks, playing, giving lots of attention and cuddles, and keeping pets entertained with fun activities. I’ve regularly walked dogs for about an hour at a time and I’m comfortable with overnight stays as well. I’m also happy to help with feeding, cleaning up, and keeping their space nice and comfortable. Communication is really important to me. I’ll pay attention to how your pet is acting and let you know if I notice anything unusual or concerning. I’m also happy to send pictures and updates throughout the day because I genuinely love taking pictures of pets! I want you to feel comfortable and reassured while you’re away, knowing your pet is being well taken care of and getting lots of love and attention. I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I’m currently taking college classes online, which gives me the flexibility to work school around my pet sitting schedule. Pet sitting is an important part of my schedule and income, so I’m able to prioritize the pets in my care and plan my days around their needs and routines. I’m generally available most days and can accommodate walks, drop-ins, house sitting, and overnight stays depending on what your pet needs. I prefer caring for pets in their own home, where they’re already familiar and comfortable with their surroundings. Staying in their usual environment means they have access to their own food, toys, beds, and other things they’re used to, which can help make the experience less stressful while their owners are away. I’ll follow your instructions closely and keep your pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible. I’ll also make sure doors, gates, and other areas are secure, keep their space clean, and pay attention to their behavior and surroundings to help keep them safe. I understand that having someone care for your pet also means trusting them in your home, so I’ll treat your home and belongings with the same care and respect I would want for my own.
“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.”

“Alex did a fantastic job taking care of our husky. He took thorough notes of our dog’s routine during the meet and greet. During the stay, he updated us with pictures and didn’t hesitate to ask any questions. We will definitely use his services in the future. Thank you for taking great care of Icy!!”


“Kim was fantastic!!! She sent pictures and updates several times each day; I can see that our cat was well taken care of. She brought in the packages that were delivered while we were away and left the house in a very neat and clean condition. I give her my highest recommendation for pet sitting services.”

“Hands down the best dog sitter we have ever had. She takes such great care of our dog who requires extra attention due to his medical conditions. Extremely reliable and great at communication when we are away. Your pup is in great hands with Alyx!”

About: I've been a dedicated dog owner for a few years and understand the responsibility, structure, and attention dogs need to thrive and feel comfortable. In addition to caring for my own dog daily, I’ve also provided pet care for friends and family. I believe in treating others the way I would want to be treated, so I prioritize clear communication, consistency, and updates to give pet parents peace of mind while they're away. I work remotely four days a week and off Saturday through Monday, which allows me to provide consistent supervision and interaction. My own dog, Peanut, spends the day with me in my home office, and this allows for a couple of one-on-one play sessions throughout the day. My home office has a sliding door that leads directly to our large, and secure, yard, making potty breaks easy and as frequent as needed. I have a school age daughter, and a terrier mix who roams freely, so we’re very mindful about keeping floors and common areas clear of anything that could pose a choking hazard or safety risk. Same goes with the outside. I provide close supervision in a normal household activity and everyday sounds like TV or music. My dog is crate trained; however, we typically use a playpen if a secure space is needed. I am happy to follow each pet's parent's preferences regarding crating, feeding routines, and supervision to ensure every dog feels safe and comfortable.

About: Hi! I have nearly 20 years of professional pet care experience, including 10 years working as a veterinary assistant. I am bonded and insured, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pets are in experienced, caring hands while you’re away. I enjoy caring for both dogs and cats and getting to know their individual personalities and routines. Whether your pet is playful and social, shy and independent, a senior, or has special needs, I tailor my care to help them feel comfortable and secure in their own home. My veterinary background also gives me experience caring for pets with medical needs. I am comfortable administering oral medications and injections, including insulin for diabetic pets. I understand how important it is to have someone dependable caring for your pets while you’re away. I look forward to giving your furry family members attentive, loving care and keeping you updated during each visit.
“Marty was amazing! She took care of our pets and home like they were her own! She was great with communication always keeping in touch and sending updates! Would highly recommend Marty if you don’t want to have any second guessed while you are gone as she holds it down! We have 3 dogs - 9 month old puppy, an 8 year old frenchie and a 15 year old Pomeranian! Each dog has specific needs from play time to medication and she takes care of it all with absolutely no problem! Thank you again Marty!”

About: I have been taking care of a variety of dogs over the last ten years. I have been able to give love to puppies, animals in their last months of life, and even three legged friends. I enjoy taking dogs on walks, hikes, playing fetch, and interactive enrichment games. My schedule as a substitute teacher gives me a lot of flexibility throughout the week. I typically work anywhere from 2-4 days Monday-Friday, usually from around 8 AM–3 PM, so I have plenty of availability before and after school, as well as on days when I’m not teaching. I love being active, spending time outdoors, and being around animals, so caring for pets is something I genuinely enjoy and look forward to fitting into my routine. Whether it’s a walk, time to play, a drop-in visit, or house sitting, I’m happy to give pets the attention, exercise, and companionship they need! I always start by learning each pet’s individual routine, personality, and needs. Most importantly though, I follow the owner’s instructions closely. My goal is to make the pet feel like nothing has changed, even though their owner is away. For walks and drop-in visits, I enjoy getting to know each pet and finding fun ways to keep them happy and engaged. Depending on their personality and energy level, that might include going for a walk, playing fetch, trying interactive games, spending time outside, or simply giving them plenty of attention and affection. I like offering more than one way for pets to get their energy out while also making sure they have everything they need before I leave. For house sitting, I’m happy to follow their usual feeding, walking, play, and bedtime routines while keeping them company and making sure the home stays clean and secure. Since every pet is different, I’m always happy to adjust my care to their individual temperament, preferences, and needs.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Newbury Park is $69

Elizabeth was absolutely wonderful! She took excellent care of Henry and my home while I was away. I had complete peace of mind knowing he was in such caring and trustworthy hands. She sent daily photos and updates, and Henry looked so happy! I highly recommend Elizabeth and will definitely be booking her again!

Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of our little Micky last night! We’ve only had him for six days, so leaving our new puppy with someone for the evening was a big step for us. Knowing he was in good hands gave us the peace of mind to enjoy a very special evening with our granddaughters at the Jack O’ Lantern Lights event in Calabasas. You helped make our family evening possible, and that meant a lot to us. We look forward to having you watch Micky again!

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!

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!

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.

The average cost of House Sitting in Newbury Park is $56 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $34 and $102 per night. On Rover, 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 8,047 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
