“Ari was a lifesaver! He came to care for our dog last minute when another sitter canceled on us. He was so sweet to Lucy, and took excellent care of our home. He even sent pics of her while we were gone. We will definitely use Ari again soon!”
“Elika is wonderful. She takes such good care of my pup Finn, all my plants (and there are a lot), and the home -- leaving everything as good if not better than when I left. I highly recommend her services.”

Darla has excellent attention to detail is cares about every nuance of taking are of my furry family. Thank you Darla for doing such an awesome job! Leah”
About: I have five years of experience providing dependable house and pet sitting for multiple families, including stays of up to three weeks at a time. I understand how important it is to know that both your pets and your home are in good hands while you’re away. I’ve cared for cats, dogs, and even a ferret! I provide loving, attentive care to every furry friend, while also taking care of household needs like watering plants, collecting mail, and keeping an eye on the home. My goal is to help pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving their families peace of mind. After a career as an engineer and geologist with the State of California, I’m happily retired and enjoying a flexible schedule. When I’m not fan-girling over rocks or spending time at the bowling alley, I’m probably fan-girling over someone’s furry friend! Retirement gives me plenty of time to provide attentive pet care, and I can accommodate most schedules, including daytime visits, evenings, weekends, and overnight stays. My goal is for your pets to feel safe, loved, and comfortable in your absence. I’ll treat them with the same patience, kindness, and care I would want for my own pets.
About: Dogs have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them is something that genuinely brings me so much joy. I treat every dog like family, making sure they feel safe, loved, comfortable, and spoiled with plenty of attention, playtime, cuddles, and care. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I’ll give them the same love and patience I would give my own. I’d love the opportunity to become your dog’s favorite sitter and give you peace of mind while you’re away! 🐾❤️ I currently work a full-time job from 7:30 AM to 4 PM, but most of my evenings are free and weekends perfect if you need a sitter for a weekend getaways or a night out! I live on a 2 acre property and my roommate has a very friendly border collie that gets along with almost anything, I usually watch her if my roommate is out of town!
“Kyle was fantastic! From the moment we met him, he was professional, friendly, and put us at ease. He took wonderful care of our kitten while house sitting and sent regular photos and updates, which made it so easy to relax and enjoy our vacation.Knowing our kitten and home were in such good hands made our trip completely stress-free. Kyle was attentive, communicative, and clearly cared about making sure everything was going well while we were away.We couldn't have asked for a better experience and would absolutely book Kyle again. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional pet sitter!”
“First time to use Rover for in home dog sitting. Rissa stayed with our finicky dog for 10 days and quickly won his heart. Rissa was flexible and quickly solved the unexpected issues. Her dog care background benefitted our dog and she added to his toy collection with toys he greatly appreciated. Rissa also took wonderful care of our house and garden in the midst of a heatwave. I fully appreciate and recommend Rissa and Rover.com.”

“I'm very impressed with the Sophia and the care she gave my pets while sitting. I will definitely be using her again. She watched over my cat Riley and my dog Lia. They both warmed up to her quickly. My dog does not normally do that. After the first night Lia warmed up to her and they became friends. Sophia always stayed in touch and sent plenty of photos for me to see how they were doing. She left my house clean and neat. I highly recomend Sophia to anyone who is looking for a conifdent, respectful, caring pet sitter.”
About: I was a dog walker and pet sitter in college. Since then I’ve mostly pet sat for friends. Recently started working from home and am available for more regular sitting and walking. I have a cat and an elderly/special needs dog myself and have experience caring for all kinds. I well versed in medicating, and other special needs. I work from home with very flexible hours so I am fairly available during the week for drop ins, walks and boarding. I have some weekend availability also for overnights. As a pet owner myself I know how much we care for our animals and I understand the trust it takes putting their care in another’s hands. I take that responsibility, as well as their safety, wellbeing and comfort seriously. Whether in my home or yours, I’ll provide them with the utmost care and respect.
“We had a great experience with Katie and plan on hiring her again in the future! She was very flexible and great communicating with us before, during, and after sitting our dogs. We definitely plan on recommending her to friends and family!”
“Mariia and Ethan were great! Excellent communicators, happy and well exercised pup and a clean house upon return. You couldn’t ask for anything more. They are responsive and responsible. We will be using them again!”
About: I love pets and being in nature enhances my love to take care of pets and always more room for more walk or runs which sets up a great times I’m working full time although I work hybrid, two to three days in the office, and will love to pet sit Wednesday, Friday Saturday or Sunday! I have taken care of lots of pets friends and colleagues pets while out for trips and will make sure to communicate which will help being able to cater towards your pet even better
“Amanda did a great job with our pets - a dog and 2 cats that she had never met. Our scheduled sitter had an emergency and needed to leave. Amanda stepped in on Christmas Eve and took care of everyone for the remaining days of our trip. We’re grateful for the last minute availability and would use her again.”
“Cora is fantastic. Have booked her twice and the second time threw in a new kitten we had just adopted as an added challenge, and on top of that our older cat got a bit ill sneaking too much kitten food. Cora was so good with both of them the week we were gone and is very communicative and caring. Very thankful we found her.”
“My dog adores Laura. She shows up as planned and takes good care of my apartment and my dog. I’ve already had her watch my dog on three separate occasions and will continue to book her.”
About: Hello! My name is Lyanne and I have been in the bay area for 7 years. I am currently developing ocean literacy curriculum for National Geographic with a flexible schedule which allows for me to be available as needed for your pet care needs. Attention to detail and communication skills are very important to me. I have always been an animal lover and have grown up with dogs my entire life. I have extensive experience with senior dogs, administering medication, and I understand the patience it takes to work with fearful/timid dogs. While caring for your dog I will send updates via text messages with pictures to ease your mind and let you know that your pet is in the best care possible. I have cat sat for the past 3 years through word of mouth and love creating deep bonds with the animals I care for. Long walks or fun play, keeping their schedules regular is my goal. If you are looking for someone who is trust worthy, caring and responsible then look no further. Please contact me today for your petsitting needs. You will not be disappointed! I will tend to your pet throughout the day since this is my time off and I would not be working. This means, early morning wake up, 30 minutes to an hour walk, 30 minute rest, feeding, followed by relaxation and play until noon. At around noon, another walk (30 minute) and/or play or relaxing depending on energy level of the dog and finally evening, another walk and/or play. If you have a yard, there would be intermittent outdoor time throughout the day, especially as some dogs love to sunbathe, smell flowers, or chase lizards. Basically, I will tend to their needs and make them feel as comfortable as they could be without their owners around. I can take your pet on walks 2-3 times a day (less or more if you would like) and tend to their needs. Since I will be doing this during my time off, I will mostly be home with the dogs (at most 2-3 hours away total doing groceries or going to gym). I can crate your dog if needed, but they will mostly be with me. If there are parks around, I will gladly take them there.

FAQs for House Sitting - Ocean Roar
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 1,092 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Ocean Roar. 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 Ocean Roar 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 Ocean Roar 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 Ocean Roar 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.
