“David is fantastic with our senior pitbull, Indy! He is kind, communicative, and compassionate, all of which are super important for us as Indy ages and has more challenges.”

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: I bring a unique combination of experience, maturity, reliability, and genuine affection for animals to every house sit. As an experienced sitter with TrustedHousesitters, a longtime business owner, and a former mayor, I've spent much of my life earning people's trust and taking responsibility seriously. I especially enjoy extended stays, where pets can maintain their familiar routines and receive consistent companionship, affection, exercise, and attentive care. I'm active, health-conscious, and love getting outdoors, making me a great companion for dogs who enjoy walks and adventures. I'm equally happy providing a calm, nurturing environment for pets who prefer a slower pace. I also understand that inviting someone into your home requires tremendous trust. I'm exceptionally respectful of people's property, attentive to details, and committed to leaving every home as beautiful as I found it. My goal is simple: happy, well-loved pets, a beautifully cared-for home, and complete peace of mind while you're away. When I'm pet sitting, my routine is scheduled around the needs of the pets I care for. I care for myself in the spaces in between. I'm mostly retired so I do a little internet in the morning and some exploring and exercise midday. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my highest priorities. I believe animals thrive when their familiar routines are maintained, so I take the time to understand each pet's personality, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any special instructions before you leave. When caring for pets in your home, I provide a calm, attentive, and loving presence while respecting their established environment. I'm conscientious about securing doors and gates, maintaining a clean and safe space, and ensuring pets receive plenty of companionship, exercise, playtime, and affection—all tailored to their individual needs. Communication is equally important. I'm happy to provide regular updates, photos, and messages so you can relax knowing your furry family members are happy and well cared for. As an experienced house sitter, longtime business owner, and former mayor, I understand the importance of trust, responsibility, and attention to detail. I treat every home with the same respect and care I'd want for my own. **My goal is simple: happy pets, a secure and beautifully maintained home, and complete peace of mind while you're away.**
“Gabrielle was wonderful, Max was very well taken care of and happy when we returned! She sent me updates and pictures everyday, I would definitely recommend her to take care of your fur babies!!”

“Alice did an amazing job taking care of my dog and home while we were away. She is very carrying and professional. She sent pictures and updates frequently. We will definitely trust her with our dog and home again.”

“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!”

“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!”


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 pets and understand how important it is to follow their 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.
“My shy cat doesn’t like anybody but she came out for Kimberly! Highly recommend. I feel confident going out of town with her as my sitter and I appreciate the pictures and updates she sent.”

“Austin was wonderful. He really knows his way around crazy puppies as well as senior dogs. Our dogs were very happy having him sit with them while we were gone for the day. We highly recommend Austin.”

“Hayley dog sat our two little dogs last Saturday and she was lovely. If she has availability to sit your dog, definitely contact and book her! First of all, our one dog is a 15 year old diabetic with a host of other problems. He has to eat at a certain time, take oral medications, and get his insulin shot at a certain time. With a meet and greet, Hayley actually came over and learned how to give him his shot. To be honest, it's really hard to find someone to give an insulin shot who'll also sit, but Hayley got the gist right away! She's really nice and very responsive. I felt very comfortable leaving our dogs in Hayley's care. I got photos all night, updates on their feeding/meds, and when I came home late at night, everything was very tidy and cleaned up. So, the point being, if you can get Hayley to sit for you, do it. It was such a relief having her here with our little guys. We will definitely be asking her to sit for us in the future :) She's great!”

“Laura was awesome with our girls. We will be using her again for a week in August. She's punctual, kind and respectful. She accommodated us when we needed her to come earlier than planned.”

About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember! I currently have two dogs, two cats, and fish, and I’ve also cared for birds, guinea pigs, and rabbits throughout my life. Having experience with so many different animals has taught me that every pet has its own personality, needs, and routines. As a mom of two young children and an educator, I’m patient, responsible, attentive to details, and great at following instructions. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pets in someone else’s care, and I’ll do my best to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’ll treat your pets like my own and keep you updated so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind!

About: As a part-time student with a deep love for animals, I have two dogs of my own—Nala and Roxy. I’ve had them for over two years and have experience in daily walks, feeding routines, and basic care. I'm passionate about providing compassionate, attentive care to pets and ensuring they are happy and healthy. As well as looking after dogs for family and friends I’m available in the mornings Monday through Friday, and in the afternoons on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.

I also provide regular updates so owners can feel confident their pets are in good hands.
“Haley was amazing. I hired her to watch my fur babies when I had to travel for work. She was very respectful to my home and took care of my fur babies as if they were her own. I got updates and pictures daily. It’s reassuring that I babies were taken care of while I was gone. We hire again if available…”

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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Newbury Park. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
