“Bella took the best care of Monchi that we have ever had. she keep us informed evey day with texts and pictures. she has the highest rating that i can give. Monchi already misses her.”
About: I am working on my animal communication. Dogs and horses are the easiest. Cats are spirits and I am curious to see what they have to say. Trees and plants also tell me when they want water. I work from home and only part time. I am flexible and like to break up the day with walks. I can also go for a drive to the dog park or a walk in town. I can come solo or bring my dog for company for walks. If I stay overnight I come with Brittney (my fur baby) and she usually sleeps in her crate when we travel or in her bed on the floor. Just let me know what your pet likes.
About: I’ve been taking care of cats and dogs since I was a kid. I also have been fostering cats and dogs for the past decade. I’ve taken care of animals with disabilities, seniors, and puppies / kittens :) I’m a photographer so my schedule is pretty free. Most days I am at home working on the computer, which makes it easy to spend time with your pups :) I’m a very loving pet sitter. I know basic training and will take them on really fun walks. They will also get all the cuddles!
“Ari was outstanding and took great care of our three spoiled pups as well as our tortoise and fish. She sent photos every day and the entire menagerie was healthy and happy on our return.”
“Lennea has house-sat for us a few times while we made some day trips, and everything has gone smoothly each time. Lennea is kind, courteous, and punctual and is fantastic with our dogs who are normally pretty people selective. I'd highly recommend Lennea!”
About: I have lived with many dogs and cats my whole life, in this way I have always been raised to care for animals. I have also trained a chocolate Labrador from puppy to adulthood! I know the basic methods of discipline for pets, while knowing the basic needs of care and love for them! I currently work in the film industry part time in the camera department. The rest of my work in video content creation is remote, this allows me to be flexible with my schedule and location. When at a clients home, I leave a large window of time to just spend time with the pets, whether that be petting, playing fetch, scratching bellies, or just hanging out with one another. Time with me and pets make me happy, and I believe the pets as well! Most of my hours in a day, in fact will be spent with the pet.

“Brooke was great and took thoughtful care of our elderly English Bulldog, who instantly seemed to bond with Brooke and showed happiness in all the pictures we received consistently along the way. We hope to work with Brooke again!”
About: I’m good with dogs. I’m also very patient and interactive with them. No longer have my own but I’ll treat your doggie like my own. I’m am currently working nights during the week so I have time in the morning for some walks or some hikes. Weekends schedule always changes. Previously I’ve dog sat and at the same time house sat while clients were out of town. I’m very cautious and trustworthy as well very vigilant of my surroundings.
“Madison watched Muffie at my house for one week. She was fantastic. My dog takes a while to warm Up to people and Muffie warmed up to her immediately. She took her for long walks and played with her with her little stuffed animals. I would highly recommend her and would definitely use her anytime I needed someone.”
“Melissa was the absolute BEST!!! We are “those people” who never leave home without their fur babies, and have a very short list of individuals that we would ever trust our babies with. Melissa not only met our expectations, she exceeded them. She was very patient with all of our precise instructions around caring for our 15 week old puppy, followed through with all of our preferences, sent us daily updates with photos and status, and was beyond lovely to work with. We came home to a clean/tidy home, fresh flowers and fruit from her garden and (most importantly) a healthy, HAPPY puppy. Melissa was reliable, responsive, personable, thoughtful, and SO SO loving towards our fur babies. If you are looking for ‘the one’ pet sitter whom you can leave your precious baby with and not have to worry about the care they are getting - look no further. Will rebook 100x over!!!”
“Carissa was quick to respond to our messages and super flexible when our schedule had to change. We are thankful for her help with our three fur babies. We will definitely be using her again ?”
“Sasha was a godsend for our dog, Fenway. Our dog is very particular with his meds, allergy needs as well as being very dog reactive but Sasha treated Fenway perfectly while we were away. We got regular updates, beautiful pet pictures, and were up to date on how he was doing with their modified indoor play. Sasha is sweet, outgoing, and intuitive with dogs so we felt safe with her immediately. Our little family will definitely hire her again as she’s one of our best dog sitters to date.”
“Cassie was awesome! She handled my anxious/shy pup and his high energy/no boundaries brother without a problem. I usually take them with me ad much as I can, so it’s been about 3 years since they’ve had a dog sitter. I was a little nervous leaving them with a stranger, but Cassie seemed to really enjoy their company, kept in touch and followed all instructions. Came home to a clean house and two very happy pups! Will definitely book Cassie again!”

“So fortunate to find Layla. Couldn’t ask for better person-trustworthy, reliable, communicated well & most of all my dog & cat are very happy when I get home. I have anxiety prone shepherd & I can see how well Layla interacts with my dog n reassures her. Book Layla for your dog or cat.”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover who’s grown up with dogs and currently has one of my own. I’ve cared for dogs my entire life, including my own pets as well as dogs for friends, family, and others. I’ve had dogs my entire life and have experience with a variety of personalities and energy levels. I regularly care for dogs belonging to friends and family, including feeding, walking, playtime, basic routines, and providing companionship. I’m comfortable with puppies and maintaining consistent schedules. I work from home, which means your pup will get lots of attention, company, and care throughout the day—not just quick check-ins. I have an active lifestyle, so I love going on walks and keeping dogs engaged, but I’m also very chill and cuddly when it’s time to relax. Whether it’s boarding, daycare, walks, or drop-ins, I treat every dog like they’re my own and always prioritize their comfort, safety, and happiness. Dogs staying with me can expect a calm, loving environment with plenty of attention throughout the day. Since I work from home, they’re rarely left alone. We’ll go on regular walks, have playtime, and of course lots of cuddle breaks. I’m happy to follow your dog’s routine, preferences, and any special instructions to make them feel at home.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Ojala
Rae is the best! We hired her to watch our dog and house while we were away, and she took great care of both. She sent us texts and photos throughout her stay, which gave us so much peace of mind knowing everything was going well. We came home to a happy pup and a spotless house. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and can't wait to book her again!
Rachel was great! She was professional, compassionate, and clearly an expert in dealing with an excited puppy. We had not left our puppy before and she put us right at ease. They had a great time together! I do not hesitate to recommend Rachel, and we will definitely be contacting her when we have to be out of town again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 1,193 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Ojala. 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 Ojala 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 Ojala 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 Ojala 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.
