“We have a very active 60 lb. dog who requires a daily hike. Tina took Hazel out for an hour each day, and when it proved too hot in the afternoon she switched to mornings. She followed all of our requests and Hazel really liked Tina. She (Tina, not Hazel) left the house clean and tidy. We have already made arrangements to hire Tina again. We recommend her wholeheartedly.”
“Yerim was wonderful! She took great care of our critters & house, and had no problem providing special care for our pup when a last minute health issue arose. We would be happy to hire her again!”
About: Growing up with dogs all my life pets always felt like family members. Out of college, I worked at a doggy daycare, the Bone Adventure, where I learned a large range of skills. Sitting on the ground and hand feeding dogs that are having nervous bellies, picking up on body language, doggy first aid, as well as a general knowledge of pet care. I enjoy working with puppies as well as senior dogs and cats as well. I love taking dogs on walks and discovering their method of play. I’m available any day of the week I love getting out of the house and visiting with people’s pets, I love long walks, short walks, playing fetch, and lots of pats. I typically like to follow the owners instructions to the tea and adhering to the animal's normal routine to reduce any stress. I enjoy engaging with their toys and treats and giving lots of love and affection.
“Kelsey did a great job watching our Dogs Sophie and Raleigh. Sophie is a Malinois and a bit difficult for new people to deal with. Kelsey was patient with Sophie and they became fast friends. My wife and I really liked that Kelsey works remotely and was able to be around the dogs most of the day at our house while we were gone. Our house and our dogs were in great shape when we got back.”
“Can’t say enough good things about Sarah! Loved her interaction with my fur babies, loved her desire to learn about my dogs and ask questions, love the pictures and communication….. and absolutely love her professionalism . I believe Sarah will succeed at anything she chooses to do because of her great work ethic. Will definitely use her again!”
“Best sitter ever!! You can see from all of the amazing photos and videos that our pup is in the best hands while we are away. We appreciate all of the thoughtfulness on household questions and just the overall great care taken of our house and dog.”
“This is the 2nd time Tammy has taken care of our fur babies for us. She is wonderful and bonded with even our shy rescue dog who is scared of everyone. She sends tons of pictures and keeps us updated daily. Always wonderful to know they are well cared for while we are gone.”
About: I'm a dedicated dog owner myself so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I'm patient, attentive e and committed to making every walk safe, fun and stress free. I treat every dog like family. I balance my work schedule with pet care and always make time to provide reliable, attentive, and loving care. I carefully plan my days to ensure each dog receives safe, enjoyable walks and consistent attention. On walks, I focus on providing safe, enjoyable exercise tailored to each dog’s energy level. I always follow the owner’s routine and make sure pets return home happy and well cared for.
About: I have taken care of my neighbors’ and family friends dogs since 2015 ranging from English bulldog to Chihuahua to full size labradoodles. I have also cared for my own dogs. I am currently working part-time Monday-Thursday and am available after 3pm. I am fully available on Fridays. I work 1 weekend day which does fluctuate between Saturday and Sunday depending on the week - on that work day, I am available before 9:30am and after 6:30pm. I am very respectful of the client’s home. I will obey their house rules. I will make sure to be thorough with any provided instructions and ask questions about things I am not sure about. I keep a clean and organized space.
“I can’t say enough about Kirsten!! BEST dog sitter I have ever had! We had her stay with our very high anxiety dog for 9 days in our home. We recently had to put down our other two dogs and Bentley has been so depressed and we were so worried about boarding him or just having drop ins because he would be by himself. I requested someone that could stay with him the entire time and Kirsten did just that! She came and met him two weeks before and he takes some time to get to know someone, but by the second day he just loved her. She kept him in his routine even letting him sleep with her like he does us. Walked him daily, let him play in the hose daily (one of his favorite things) Sat with him out in yard, played catch with him another favorite thing and checked in everyday with pictures and videos. She went over and beyond…took our trash cans in and out on trash day, took in our mail and packages, emptied our dishwasher, hosed yard everyday, stripped and washed her bedding and washed dog blankets on couch, cleaned bathroom and kitchen. My house was just as I left it. We were also welcomed home with a sweet note and gift for Bentley! She is the BEST and we were able to enjoy our vacation knowing he was so well taken care of like family ❤️ Our last dog sitter was terrible and i was a wreck the entire time, not this time! She will be the only one I will use from now on!! Highly recommend if you are looking for someone to take care of your pets the same as you would!! Thank you again Kirsten!!!”
About: Hi! My name is Marisol and I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember. I grew up around dogs, cats, bunnies, chickens, and even fish, so being around animals has always been a big part of my life. I’m naturally very gentle, patient, and attentive, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with and caring for animals of all kinds. I understand that every animal has their own personality and comfort level, and I always make sure they feel safe, respected, and cared for while you’re away. I am available from Monday-friday for walks and check in's. and from Saturday-Sunday I am available for house sitting. I usually am very accommodating and flexible with my schedule 😊 I understand that every animal has different needs, routines, and comfort levels, and I’m always willing to accommodate whatever makes both you and your animal feel most comfortable. Whether your animal needs check-ins during the day, walks, feeding, playtime, medication, or just someone calm and patient to keep them company, I’m happy to help however I can. My goal is to make sure your animal feels safe, respected, and cared for while giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. I pay close attention to instructions and routines because I know how important consistency and trust are when it comes to caring for animals.
About: I have grown up having and taking care of dogs my whole life, as well as looking after friends' dogs while they are away. I truly believe that a pet is apart of the family and should be treated as such. When sitting dogs I am willing to take extra time and put in the effort to make sure they are fed, exercised, hydrated, and loved as they would be with their family. I am a student-athlete home from college for the summer. I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to spend mornings, midday check ins, and evenings with your pets. I am available to stay overnight if needed. I see pet sitting as an opportunity rather than a task, being excited to look after a part of your family. I am able to take dogs on long walks and keep up with high-energy play time, but I am just as happy providing a calm environment for a more relaxed dog. I am extremely respectful of your space and privacy. I follow all house rules regarding 'off-limits' furniture, feeding schedules, and security protocols; ensuring all doors and gates are double-checked and locked after every visit. Your pet and home's safety, as well as your peace of mind, are my top priorities. I keep dogs on a short, secure leash during walks and avoid high-traffic areas.
“I have used Lena several times now for house sitting and she is always attentive and gives excellent updates. She clearly loves animals and my fluffs enjoy the time they have with her.”
“Thank you as always for taking such good care of my girls while I was away! They are always so calm and happy when I get home after Brittany and Samantha have watched them. :-D”
“Katrina is so kind and thoughtful. We were so happy with how our home and pup were cared for while we were away on vacation. Katrina sent lots of photos, and is quick and easy to communicate with. We’ll be booking again!”
“Jade was so unbelievable to our youngest fur baby, Berk. She kept in constant contact with us regarding his well being and sent many pictures of him having the time of his life. At one point we were convinced he wouldn’t want us to come back! Jade treated Berk like her own and showed a great deal of respect for him, us and our home. We highly recommend Jade!”
“Marco was very helpful and accommodating with my schedule change. We met at my hotel for a quick meet and greet and then stayed in my room while I bounced around the city. He’s punctual, he pays attention and seems like a pretty trustworthy guy. He safely watched my dog sleep (her favorite hobby) and got her out for a quick walk which is all we needed. He has great communication and is quick to respond; also his rates are extremely reasonable for the service. I recommend you reach out to Marco if you need your dog watched while out visiting Disneyland or the greater Anaheim Resort Area.”
About: I have experience watching dogs of all sizes, ages, and energy levels. I’m comfortable with reactive dogs and know how to accommodate them for stress free walks. My biggest strength is patience, which I believe is crucial in making your dog feel comfortable, especially the anxious and shy ones. I am happy to help with basic command training and conditioning. My partner and I both currently work remotely. I am in a role that is not meeting heavy so I am happy to accommodate to your schedule for walks and drop ins. Housesitting: I will do my best to keep your dog’s routine to not disrupt what they are used to while you are away. I am happy to care for your plants, help retrieve mail, and bring in/out garbage cans if needed. For boarding: Our condo has a small patio with a cot where your pup can sunbathe in. We also have a crate if preferred. Across the street there is a park with plenty of grass, and two streets away there is a dog park we can walk to. Your dog will be welcomed by our two male doggies ages 10 and 4 who are friendly and generally calm. We will send plenty of pics because we know that we miss our fur babies when we are away from them. Please let me know your dog’s daily feeding routine as well as allergies, known commands, favorite treats, etc.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Olive
Kelsey was absolutely wonderful! She took great care of my husky and my Bengal cat while I was out of town, and I had complete peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. She was very communicative throughout the entire stay, sending regular updates and making sure I knew how they were doing. It was clear she genuinely cared about my pets and treated them like her own. I came home to two happy, well-cared-for animals. I would absolutely book with Kelsey again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter!
Whitney is simply wonderful, and an amazing house and cat sitter. Our original sitter had to cancel a few days before leaving on a trip, and we were incredibly fortunate to find Whitney. She is very punctual, and kept our kitty’s schedule and routine going smoothly while we were away. She is great at communicating, letting us know when she first arrived and with daily updates and pictures. Her care for our home and especially for our kitty put us at ease while we were away. She is very neat and tidy and went above and beyond cleaning before she left and we arrived back home. Thank you kindly Whitney for spending the week with our kitty! For those looking for a wonderful cat sitter, Whitney is absolutely one of the greatest.
Vy is the best! She is extremely thoughtful, thorough, and I can tell she really cares about my pet, she is my go to for any of my dog sitting needs. From meeting her to the end of her stay at my house, she kept me updated with photos and how my dog was doing. This was my first time hiring a sitter instead of boarding and I’m super thankful it was with Vy!
5 Paws!!!!! (stars;) If we could give more than five stars, we absolutely would! From the moment we left, we knew our three dogs and our home were in the very best hands. They sent frequent updates and adorable pictures that made us smile and gave us complete peace of mind. They were always quick to respond, incredibly thoughtful, and treated our dogs like they were their own. It was obvious how much love, attention, and care they gave them. When we came home, our dogs were happy, relaxed, and clearly well loved. That says everything. Finding people you trust enough to stay in your home and care for your pets is priceless, and we feel so lucky to have found them. We truly hope they'll be available every time for us because we wouldn't hesitate for a second to invite them back. We recommend them with complete confidence to anyone looking for caring, trustworthy, dependable, and genuinely wonderful pet sitters. Thank you for taking such incredible care of our home and our furry family!
Ashley was wonderful in taking care of my 2 mini dachshunds. She communicated frequently with texts and photos of my dogs and was very respectful in my home. My request was super short notice too with only 3 hours before I had to leave town. She saved me in a pinch and I would love to have her back!! Thank you again :)
Highly Recommend Jackie! Jackie was absolutely fantastic with our two dogs! From our very first meet-and-greet, she was incredibly conscientious—taking detailed notes about their schedules and asking thoughtful questions to ensure they received the exact care they needed. She provided regular daily updates, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Both dogs were wonderfully cared for, but what impressed us most was how she handled our more anxious pup. She usually gets very stressed when the family leaves, but she was completely relaxed, happy, and at ease with Jackie. We couldn't have asked for a better experience.
This was my first time Katrina to take care of my rescue. Marley is a special case and can be very skittish around new people. Marley opened right up to Katrina which just shows how great a job she did. I would absolutely recommend Katrina for anyone and will be reaching out to her for my next booking.
We have a very active 60 lb. dog who requires a daily hike. Tina took Hazel out for an hour each day, and when it proved too hot in the afternoon she switched to mornings. She followed all of our requests and Hazel really liked Tina. She (Tina, not Hazel) left the house clean and tidy. We have already made arrangements to hire Tina again. We recommend her wholeheartedly.
Lauren is phenomenal! She did an excellent job with our timid rescue dog. He immediately took to her. She was loving, playful, gentle and communicative. It was a relief to know our sweet boy was being so well loved while we enjoyed some time with the family. I would highly recommend Lauren, without any hesitation.
Mattie always does a great job with our pets and our house. Our dog gets very anxious when we leave and has had chewing and potty issues with other pet sitters. Mattie gives her the love and attention she needs to calm her nerves and we have had zero issues with her as our pet sitter.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Olive on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 10,080 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Olive. 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 Olive 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 Olive 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 Olive 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Olive. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
