“Angelika was absolutely fantastic! She looked after our poodle and house-sat for three weeks, and we couldn't be happier. Our dog was incredibly well cared for, and the house was left in pristine condition. She is reliable, trustworthy, and great with pets. We highly recommend her and would absolutely hire her again!”
“David is easygoing and helpful. He cared for our rescue pup who developed a double ear infection and needed some extra attention and medication. David handled it all and left our house clean. We give two paws up!”
“I can’t say enough good about Michelle. She stayed with our 17-y-o dog (who definitely has his quirks and separation needs) for 2 weeks while we were traveling, and she was so caring, responsible and conscientious. Kept us in the loop so we didn’t worry, and left our home in beautiful shape. We will definitely have her back to help us out in the future!”
“My husband and I highly recommend Jennifer! We have never had anyone but family watch our dog (he’s 12) so this was our first time using Rover. Jennifer was supper responsive and took excellent care of our pride and joy! Will definitely be using her in the future!”
“Ariel is great! She watched my mini poodle while I was at work. She accepted a last minute request and was on time. She was a great communicator and my dog seemed very comfortable with her. I will be booking her again.”
“Rachel has such a calming energy which was perfect for our pups who get a little anxious while we are away. Was great to have piece of mind knowing she was there while I was away for the full day. Appreciated the updates and picts as well. Thank you!!”
“Our pups were in great hands with Marley. She was very communicative throughout the booking, kept them on their feeding/walking schedule and spent quality time making them feel less anxious while we were away. Definitely look forward to having Marley watch over them again. :)”
“Lauren took great care of my dogs for me! She checked in with photos and was great with communicating. When I got back home both of my dogs were smiling and wagging their tails- I could tell they were comfortable and cared for.”
“Vlad was kind, attentive, and very trustworthy with my precious dog, Melody. I have a hard time trusting people with her care, and Vlad exceeded my expectations and did such a wonderful time. Was very thoughtful and communicative. I will work with him again.”
“Isabella went above and beyond in her care for Petunia, and left the house in perfect condition! My cat was extremely content when I arrived home, as if I had never left. Can’t recommend Isabella enough. Very friendly and easy to communicate with as well!!”
“Tommy was so sweet with our 17yo pup, and I could tell he was connected to her also when we returned. Everything was in great shape, and we wouldn’t hesitate to have her again!”
“Deanna took great care of Luna! Easy to coordinate with and confident giving Luna meds and taking her on walks eventhough she’s a bit leash reactive. Came home to a happy pup and a tidy house!”
“Mámoo was wonderful with our pups while we were away. It’s so nice coming back to a clean home with everything taken care of while gone. Mámoo kept me updated with pics and videos and status updates. Our pups were pampered and given lots of love. I’ll definitely hire Mámoo again in the future. Thank you so much for everything!”
“Summer watched our two pugs with very different needs for a week. Summer was very communicative throughout, letting us know how everyone was. We received a lot of pictures showing everyone was being walked and loved while we were gone. Summer was very in tune to their health, checking in on our older ones cough She also left the house well taken care of. It was wonderful to be on vacation and knowing my furbabies were being well taken care of and I would not hesitate to have her sit again.”
“Michelle is awesome! There was a perfect balance of professionalism, kindness and positive communication as she cared for my pup and stayed at my house. I would 100% recommend Michelle to anyone looking for a great person to watch their precious cargo :)”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Opal Cliffs
Jennifer did housesitting for 5 days with our shy, 3 year-old dog, Butters. Everything looked great when we came back and our pup was happy. She kept us updated on their activities, I think they both enjoyed their time together! My husband and I are so estatic to find a babysitter that is reliable and our dog likes so in the future we can travel more. I would recommend Jennifer to anyone!
Vlad is a trusted caretaker for our frenchie Beau. He’s detailed oriented, loving and caring. Beau is very active and sometimes reactive but Vlad knows how to correct and manage him. If he’s able to have his son Quinn with him, you’re really in luck. Beau absolutely loves to play with him.
Ellie is a cat whisperer. In our first meeting, she connected with Bamboo. When I returned, 2 weeks later, I saw that he loved her. Ellie cared for my cat, my house, and my garden. Just as we were leaving, I discovered that my cat needed antibiotics. Ellie took on the added responsibility with ease. Knowing I had left my property and cat in the care of a competent and caring sitter made my trip more enjoyable.
Our dog wasn’t feeling well when we left on our trip and Emily was extremely attentive and caring while we were gone. Emily communicated with regular updates and followed our requests which built a lot of trust. We will definitely have her care for Ollie and our house again.
We were visiting from out of town and needed someone we could truly trust with our dogs, especially because they struggle with pretty bad separation anxiety. Melanie was an absolute dream. She came to stay with them so we could explore the local area, and from the moment she arrived, I felt completely comfortable. Her communication was perfect — great updates, adorable photos, and such a kind, calm presence. My dogs adored her, and she handled their anxiety with so much patience and sweetness. She’s incredibly easy to work with, reliable, and genuinely caring. I would book her again in a heartbeat. If you’re looking for someone who treats your pets like her own, Melanie is the one.
Celeste was amazing! She watched and cared for my 4 year old dachshund during my wedding weekend festivities. My dog is very reactive when meeting people for the first time and she handled it so well. I usually have an in person meet and greet however I was traveling from out of town. Celeste went above and beyond and offered a FaceTime call to talk about Oscar and what I was looking for. She asked all the right questions and followed instructions perfectly. She made my wedding weekend feel stress free. I cannot recommend her enough!!!
Itzel was amazing with our dog Fig, from the start of the booking she was very responsive and provided us with pictures and updates throughout the stay. We were a little nervous because this was our first overnight booking with our pup, but she made us comfortable and feel at ease especially with the long list of instructions we’ve left. We would definitely book her again!
As first-time Rover users on Georgia’s very first road trip, we were incredibly nervous about leaving her, but Lily completely blew us away. From the moment we met her, we could just feel that she is someone you can truly trust. Lily knew exactly how to get Georgia to warm up to her, and they quickly became the absolute best of friends. On top of that, she was incredibly flexible with her time—when our schedule changed and we needed her to stay later than originally planned, she stepped up without hesitation. If you are looking for a reliable, loving, and trustworthy nanny for your fur baby, book Lily immediately. We cannot recommend her enough!
Chelsea and Jonathan were great last time they cared for our dog, so we were so excited they were available. They are conscientious, clearly love dogs, and took such amazing care of our dog. All the photos that were shared showed him happy, relaxed, and doted upon! We are so grateful.
Marley was fantastic! She was on time, communicated well throughout the stay, and sent lots of pictures, which I really appreciated. The house was exactly as we left it — you wouldn’t even know she had been there. Most importantly, Zack seemed happy, relaxed, and completely unstressed when we got home. Overall, I’m so happy we found Marley and will absolutely use her again in the future. I would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.

FAQs for House Sitting - Opal Cliffs
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Opal Cliffs on Rover is $46.28 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 3,000 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Opal Cliffs. 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 Opal Cliffs 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 Opal Cliffs 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 Opal Cliffs 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.

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.
