“Gabriella was amazing. Fun, kind, and Milo loved her. She helped take care of our baby on our wedding day, even came to the venue to take pictures with him and drove him back! Thank you!”
About: Hi there! My name is Dani and I’ve always had a deep love and connection with animals — especially dogs. With several years of being a pet owner and babysitting others, experience under my belt, I have taken care of many beautiful dogs. Whether your pup is full of energy, a little shy, or aging gracefully, I offer patient, attentive, and personalized care tailored to their needs. :) 🎾 As a full-time student at FIU, I plan my classes in a way that allows plenty of time for pet care during mornings, evenings, and weekends. My schedule is consistent and flexible, so I’m able to provide reliable care around your pet’s routine. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat the space with respect and follow all instructions closely — from feeding schedules to walk routines and special care needs. I make sure your pet feels comfortable and safe in their familiar environment by keeping things calm, clean, and consistent. I never leave pets unattended unless instructed, and I always double-check that doors, gates, and crates are secure. You can trust that I’ll provide loving, responsible care and keep you updated with photos and messages throughout my visits.🖤
“Juliana was wonderful with my dog. It was my first time leaving her with a sitter, and Juliana gave me so much peace of mind. She communicated frequently, sent plenty of photos and videos, and kept me updated on her behavior and medications. She was kind, attentive, and caring. I would absolutely recommend her!”
“Leo helped me out when I was in a jam. He agreed to take care of my dog and cat on very short notice and did a great job with them, keeping me informed multiple times per day. Highly recommend.”
“This was the first time that I trusted my cats to be taken care of by anyone other than my family, and in the future Allison will be my go to person. She is extremely detail oriented, punctual, and caring. I received daily pics/videos and she was very communicative. I look forward to a lasting sitter relationship with her….highly recommend!!!!”
“Vanessa was great once again! She is extremely communicative and took great care of my two cats while I was away. She sends tons of updates which are very appreciated! I completely recommend her and will continue to book her in the future!”
About: I have worked at the Humane Society of Greater Miami and taken care of pets for about 5 years now, ranging from tiny to large dogs such as Malteses to Labradors, I have also taken care of different/several cats and even have gotten the most antisocial ones to be comfortable with me! I have literally seen every kind of dog and cat from my time at the Humane Society, I was there for all of my high school years and some of the beginning of my college career. Since then I’ve been taking care of family’s, friend’s, and neighbors’ pets off and on. I’m definitely the kind of person that will say hi to your pet before you (no offense) and treat them as my own. I’ve had a dog for 12 years and with that came my growth in love for animals and always ensuring they’re properly taken care of. I will always make sure they’re safe and don’t worry, I like to take and send so many pics of them to you to make sure you know how they’re doing at all times! I’m currently not working since I have started nursing school! It takes up a chunk of my time since I’m usually studying but I feel like that makes me great for a sitter position, I’ve taken care of different pets for years and my schedule is free anytime after 2pm on Wednesdays, and anytime Thursday-Saturday. I always ensure to create a safe environment whenever I’m around anyone’s pet, they don’t know me so I always try to have them warm up to me. I like to make sure they’re safe under my watch as well as having fun! To me, it’s not just having someone take a peek and make sure your pet is alright but to make sure they know they have the company and presence of someone so they don’t feel alone or abandoned. Whether I’m taking them for walks or spending a night with them to make sure they’re not lonely, I will always make sure they are having fun, safe, and relay any important information (or cute pics) to you! After all, they’re your family and I wouldn’t treat them any less than that.
“Megan and Trevor went above and beyond when caring for our 14 yo Shorkie Teddy! This was our first time using Rover and someone outside of family. I couldn’t have felt more comfortable on vacation knowing he was receiving the best care. They sent frequent updates and pictures that melted my heart. I highly recommend them and will no doubt use them again.”
About: I have many many years of experience with dogs. Growing up with them was the best! I simply love them and would take care of them! I work from home and love spending time at my place. I will be your dog’s best friend and they’ll be my best friend! While I work on my projects I love having them next to me giving each other company and taking walks at the beginning and end of the day. I get everything ready to make them feel at home, allowing them to feel safe and most importantly, loved! I have a deeply understanding in dog body language. If the service is in their place I’ll make myself comfortable so they don’t feel like I am a stranger at their territory.
About: I’ve experince of taking care of the families friends i have been working for i work like i nanny and always stay with the pets at the ownes house because is less stressful for the pets if they stay in their environment while im taking care of them Since I've been living alone, I have a lot of availability to stay with pets, preferably in their homes. either during the week or on weekends. I only offer to care for pets in their own homes because it is less stressful for them to be in their own environment while their owners are away.
“I needed a last minute sitter because I was leaving town for a couple days and Amor was able to help me take care of my Uzi boy! I was nervous because I wasn’t sure how my dog would do given he didn’t know her but she was great and Uzi loved her ! She sent me constant photos and updates on my boy and was very thorough throughout the whole process all the way down to how he ate and what he liked to do. She made sure he was always comfortable and super kind and compassionate towards him.Very thankful for her and will definitely continue working with her in the future when I need a sitter !”
About: Hi, My name is Michael M. I just moved backed home to Miami. Since my first memories we have always owned dogs. My mom had a habit of picking up stray dogs. Her heart always broke when she saw a furry defenseless dog begging for food or needing shelter. My mom's big heart exposed me to many types of dogs all different sizes and temperament. I have been dog sitting for a while now and it's one of my favorite things to do. I am a realtor and I am able to work from home during the day while clients are working and when I am away it's for only a few hours at a time. I have a fenced yard. Like I said my dog loves social interaction with other friendly doggies and would love to find friends he could play with. I am a real estate agent with my office at home. I will be able to watch over them while they play.
“Vasil is an absolute dream sitter. He and my cat, Kasha, clicked instantly at the meet and greet, and after his overnight stay she’s completely smitten. He gave her so much attention and affection, and he was incredibly meticulous about following all of her care instructions as well as the apartment rules. I came home to a spotless space and a very happy cat. He’s definitely earned my trust. Honestly, I’m tempted to book drop-ins even when I don’t need them just so Kasha can have more time with her new bestie.”
About: I’ve had several dogs as I grew up. Pitbulls mostly. I love playing, walking, talking and being around dogs. I know what to do and what not to do when it comes to dogs. It fits into my routine because everyday I walk my dog missy around our neighborhood. I feed her around a certain time, give the food time to digest then take her for a walk let her get everything out her system and let her enjoy leaving her scent and seeing the other dogs in our neighborhood. I have a fence/gate around my house in case a clients pet isn’t friendly or good around other animals. I have a personal area that their pet can be able to enjoy.
About: For each service I can offer loads of love and attention to your pet. I’ve had pets my entire life so I absolutely adore animals and being able to take care of them. I own a cat myself and wish I could have more. I love making animal friends and showing them they are loved and that they matter. I will always treat them as if they were my own. I will pick up after them, play with them, talk to them, give them treats (if that is allowed) and snuggle with them in cases of house sitting. As a little girl, I wanted to be a veterinarian because I posed such a love for animals at such a young age. Instead, I just became a human that is always looking for new animal friends.
“Sophia did a great job taking care of our crew once again! We were completely out of cell range for the entire trip and really appreciate being able to rely on Sophia to keep our pets and home in great shape.”
“We’ve had Hali watch our two high energy dogs three times and she has done a great job. I really appreciated that she followed all care instructions, kept me updated on what was going on with them and that my dogs had a great time with her.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Ojus is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Ojus
Nicole did an amazing job taking care of Dior! He absolutely loved her, and it was clear that he felt happy and comfortable in her care. Nicole is such a sweet, kind, and caring person. I would absolutely trust her to stay with Dior again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone wonderful to care for their pet. Thank you so much, Nicole! ❤️
Naomi and her husband did an absolutely, positively AMAZING job taking care of my animals! I honestly couldn’t have asked for better pet sitters. I’ll be completely honest — I was very nervous about having someone I found through an app come into my home and take care of my animals. It’s a big thing for me to trust someone with my pets and my personal space, so I had a lot of hesitation at first. But Naomi gave me such a sense of reassurance and comfort from the very beginning. She was so kind, understanding, communicative, and made me feel like I had nothing to worry about. They went above and beyond to make sure my animals were happy, comfortable, loved, and having fun. Knowing that they were being treated with so much care while I was away gave me such peace of mind. You can genuinely tell that Naomi and her husband have a true love for animals and treat them like their own. They were respectful of my home, attentive to my animals, and made the entire experience so much easier than I ever expected. I’m honestly so grateful I decided to trust them. They completely changed my perspective on using Rover, and I would absolutely have them take care of my animals again without hesitation. If you’re someone who is nervous about letting a stranger from an app into your home or trusting someone with your pets, I HIGHLY recommend Naomi and her husband. They were wonderful from beginning to end, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thank you both so much for taking such amazing care of my babies! ❤️🐾
Kniaka took wonderful care of Gigi! She kept me updated with pictures and messages throughout the stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. I would definitely trust Kniaka with Gigi again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter. Thank you so much! ❤️
Aleja has taken care of our dog, Lola, several times while we’ve been away traveling, and every experience has been excellent. She is responsible, trustworthy, and dependable, which gives us complete peace of mind whenever we’re away. She is also incredibly loving and caring with Lola, and it’s clear how much she genuinely enjoys spending time with animals. The best part is that Lola absolutely loves her, which says everything. We highly recommend Aleja and will definitely continue booking her in the future!
Herbert was extremely communicative and proactive when it came to caring for my 3 cats! He sent daily updates and was sure to ask questions when any concerns came up. He followed all directions and went above and beyond to make sure my pets felt cared for. Very grateful for his service and I will be booking him again in the near future!!
Izzy watched our senior cat, dog & frog for a week and was amazing! Highly recommend her to everyone. She sent daily pictures and even took our pup to the beach and on different adventures. They all loved their time with her so much and my wife and I fully trust her! It’s never easy letting someone new into your home but she was the perfect fit. Thank you Izzy! 10/10 experience
10/10 would recommend! Eliza went above and beyond all expectations this weekend for my dog and I. She asked all the right questions prior to her stay which was an immediate green flag. My dog is very cautious and sensitive around new people. Eliza used techniques to familiarize and comfort my dog. I recommend her to anyone, she is professional and her love and knowledge with animals shows in her work. She sent me lots of pics and updates, was flexible when I had to adjust my schedule. So glad I found her!!
We had an excellent experience with Diana. She was punctual, and so sweet. She stayed in our home for several hours, and we felt completely comfortable having her in our home. Our dog usually doesn't engage immediately but she was truly patient and understanding. We will absolutely book her again, and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter.
I needed a last minute sitter because I was leaving town for a couple days and Amor was able to help me take care of my Uzi boy! I was nervous because I wasn’t sure how my dog would do given he didn’t know her but she was great and Uzi loved her !

She made sure he was always comfortable and super kind and compassionate towards him.Very thankful for her and will definitely continue working with her in the future when I need a sitter !
Izabella was AMAZING! WE BOOKED HER LAST MINUTE TO STAY WITH OUR TWO SMALL DOGS TO KEEP THEM COMPANY ALL DAY WHILE WE WERE OUT EXPLORING AND SHE COULDN’T HAVE TAKEN BETTER CARE OF THEM! Two walks, lots of pictures and videos of them playing together kept my mind at ease when they were with someone unfamiliar. They quickly fell in love with her! I’d pay her double for her service if we are ever back in the area. Thank you again so much, Izabella!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Ojus is $67 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $39 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 4,411 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Ojus. 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 Ojus 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 Ojus 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 Ojus 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.
