“First time using Rover and was a tad worried. Our dogs are very important to us and have only been looked after by people we know. Katie had a meet and greet and the dogs loved her. We didn’t have to complicated of instructions and everything was done perfectly. You couldn’t ask for a better person to look after our house and fur babies!!!!”

“There's nothing better than returning home from a long trip to well-adjusted, relaxed, and happy pups, and we have Beth to thank for that, once again. Beth, you're simply the best!!!”

About: I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life. Neighbors, friends, and family have always relied on me to care for their pets in any way necessary! I have also fostered several dogs and cats. I’m currently taking college courses online and working on the weekends so I am almost always home on weekdays and would love to spend my time caring for animals. I love the outdoors and walking around as much as dogs do. I’m also very clean and will happily stay in my clients home to care for their pets!

About: 🐾 Loving Pet Care in a Safe, Comfortable Home 🏡💛 Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who truly lights up around dogs and cats of all kinds. I’ve had pets my entire life—including Shar-Peis, Labs, Dachshunds, Scotties, puppies, and multi-pet households—so I’m comfortable with all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I work from home, which means your pet receives plenty of attention, supervision, companionship, and love throughout the day. Whether your dog loves playtime and adventures or prefers relaxing on the couch for cuddles, I adapt to their individual needs and routine. 🏡 About My Home Your pet will enjoy a safe, loving environment with: • A large, fully fenced yard for supervised outdoor play • A clean, calm home with lots of affection and attention • Access to nearby walking trails and a dog park • A safe, gated community with quiet streets for walks • No pets of my own or children, allowing me to focus completely on your pet Pets are welcome on furniture and are treated like family. If your dog enjoys snuggling on the couch or curling up nearby, they'll feel right at home. 🐾 My Experience • Lifelong dog owner and animal lover • Experienced with puppies, adults, and senior dogs • Comfortable with multi-pet households • Experienced caring for cats, birds, and reptiles (at cat parent’s home) • Familiar with administering medications and following detailed care instructions • Strong understanding of pet behavior, routines, and positive reinforcement 💛 My Care Philosophy I believe pets thrive with consistency, structure, patience, and lots of love. I follow your pet's normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and favorite activities. I keep my bookings limited so every pet receives personalized attention, affection, and quality care. 🐕 Services Offered ✔ Dog Boarding ✔ Doggy Day Care ✔ Dog Walking ✔ Drop-In Visits ✔ House Sitting ✔ Cat Care & Drop-Ins ✔ Bird & Reptile Care 🚗 Pickup & Drop-Off Available For your convenience, I can provide pickup and drop-off service for daycare or boarding appointments for an additional fee. This is perfect for busy schedules or early departures. 📸 Extra Peace of Mind I’m happy to send photo and video updates during your pet’s stay so you can relax knowing they’re happy, safe, and well cared for. Your pet is never "just a booking" to me—they become part of the family while they're in my care. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member and creating a safe, loving, and stress-free experience for everyone involved.. I currently work part-time from home, which provides a flexible schedule and ample time to care for your pets. I’m available on weekdays and weekends, and I’m happy to adjust my routine to fit your pet’s needs. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or cuddles, I ensure your pet receives consistent attention, care, and companionship throughout the day. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time and live in a quiet, gated community with plenty of walking areas. I’m happy to follow your pet’s routine closely and adjust to their specific needs, whether that includes crate training, extra supervision, or special care instructions. I can take dogs to a local dog park for exercise and socialization (if approved), and I always ensure pets feel secure and relaxed. I’m also happy to provide a cozy, loving environment—including plenty of cuddles and even letting your pet sleep nearby if that’s what they’re used to.
“Holly has been helping us take care of our doxie nori for a few years now and she has become our go to whenever we leave town and can’t bring nori along. I’m sure this goes for anyone on here looking for a sitter - our dog is basically our child so we are super selective about who we have take care of her! And finding Holly was a HUGE relief for us. She takes such good care of nori, shows her so much love and patience (nori can be a bit stubborn and not welcoming at first) and in addition to her care with nori, holly leaves our house cleaner than we left it! Cannot recommend her enough.”

“Kate housesat for our pups so we could attend a last minute trip out of town. I love the updates and pictures. She even made them homemade treats! I know my pups are happy when we're home but they always look for her after she's left!”

“David and Beth did a great job looking after our pets while we were away. They were understanding and flexible when a few unexpected things came up, which really put us at ease. We appreciated their care and would be happy to have them look after our pets again in the future!”

“Jada was wonderful from beginning to end! She made sure she did a meet and greet made sure everyone was comfortable! Her communication was great as we were on our trip and kept us informed of everything with pictures of our happy boys! She worked with our young dog as he was feeling anxious and made him as comfortable as possible. I’m in awe of the service she provided! All the way down to the respect of our home! Even washing and folding the bedding after her stay!”

About: I grew up with animals on a Ranch in Patagonia Chile so we always had them running around my house. Especially dogs. Since then friends and family rely on me for their pet care. I have a full time job that is remote so I am still able to be flexible with them. I’m home most of the time so easy for me to get to their needs quicker. I have a pet friendly household, where I have parks and trails near by. I also know the area pretty well and know where your pups would have a good time.

About: Hello! My name is Fidencio, (my family calls me John, and you can too). I am 32 years old and have a long history of caring for dogs in my family. In 2005, my Father rescued a puppy from war torn Iraq. He fell in love with Target, our Iraqi dog, while he was deployed there. I remember my dad calling my mom, begging her to please find a way to get Target home, to California, over 7000 miles away. We went to work as a family finding any possible way to get our small puppy back home. Long story short, because we love animals, we got Target shipped to LAX. Target was what we considered an animal refugee. I remember going on the drive to LAX as a 5th grader to go pick up Target, when I first saw him he was scared, being shipped across the globe and being separated from his owner on the journey. But as soon as we got in the car we broke the crate open, we instantly all fell in love. Dedication to protecting a caring for animals is something that runs deep for me. And opening up our home to do that for others is an honor. I’ve attached some photos of Target, our 1st family dog. Looking at these older photos is such a trip! Blast from the past if you will. My Dad is now retired from the USMC and has a service dog jack, who is pictured above. He loves to play with other dogs and is very friendly. Hope you meet you and your pet soon! I am home full time and will always be there for you and your pet! Can be contacted 24/7 and checkup anytime. I’m just a call away. I care for other pets the same I would care for my own. With love, patience, and care. These things come naturally as an animal lover!

About: I’ve looked after neighbors dogs and family friends dogs for years. I’m knowledgeable in canine body language so I can read their comfort levels and ensure they aren’t getting overwhelmed. I am very proficient in bathing dogs, I get dogs with double coats deshed and curly coated dogs brushed out. I am currently working part time at a dog grooming facility, but I have few hours. I would have plenty of time to play or lounge with your pups depending on their needs. If your dog is low energy, I would be more than happy to just hang out and play low impact games with them. For my high energy buddies, I would be happy to (with pet parent permission) take them on a trail hike or play ball.

“Sally made the whole Rover experience easy and knowing someone would be in to check on Puzzles while I was out of town made me feel less guilty about leaving. Plus getting updates about the visit was as well!”

“Glynda did a great job with our two high maintenance little dogs. One of them requires multiple eye drops and eye massages daily. The house looked exactly as I left it. We are very pleased and hope Glynda will be available the next time we travel.”

“Paris took great care of my sometimes anxious dog. She also looked after my fish and chickens. She clearly cares about the animals she watches and goes above and beyond to make sure they’re well looked after.”

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was a kid, fostering dogs and cats, volunteering at SPCAs, and helping my mom dog-sit. My wife and I have 2 dogs, 1 cat, and 2 reptiles. Mya, our 7 year old Husky, and MJ, our 9 year old American Shorthair, have been with my wife for 7 years. Solina, mixed breed puppy, and our reptiles are newer additions. It would just be me providing care! My wife and I have a great routine for our pets. We feed them and take them out at consistent times throughout the day. We also take them on outdoor adventures at least once a week. We make sure pets are well taken care of while not letting them run wild. Our dogs are friendly and used to other dogs. The cat keeps to herself. We have a crate can keep dogs in rooms for alone time. If caring in someone else’s home, I would respect your personal property and ways of doing things.
About: I currently work with dogs full time, I grew up taking care of my family and friends animals while they were away. I studied animal science at URI and have experience with dogs ranging from pekingese to great pyrenees. Use code SARAHM55418 for $20 off your first booking! I’m currently in a K9 section taking care of shepherds and malinois, I go in early so my evenings and weekends are completely free to take care of your furry companions. I will treat your house respectfully and make sure your fur baby(s) get all the exercise they need and make sure they’re fed.

About: With 13 years of hands-on pet care experience, I’ve spent much of my life surrounded by animals! 🐾 From caring for my own pets to being trusted by friends and family with their furry loved ones, I’ve gained experience with dogs and cats of all ages, personalities, and energy levels. My experience includes dog walking, feeding, drop-in visits, overnight house sitting, puppy care, litter box cleaning, and administering oral medications. I’m comfortable with energetic pups who love to play and explore, as well as laid-back pets who’d rather cuddle up and relax. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I’m happy to adjust my care accordingly! I’m patient, dependable, attentive, and admittedly a little obsessed with animals! I’m also a proud pet parent to a superstar kitty and a wonderful pup, so I know firsthand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. Whether your pet needs a fun walk, a check-in while you’re away, or some extra love and companionship, my goal is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I also have overnight house-sitting experience and am happy to discuss it once we’ve gotten to know each other and feel it’s a good fit. I believe pets deserve the same patience, affection, and attention they’re used to receiving at home. I’d love the opportunity to get to know yours and give you peace of mind while they’re in my care! ❤️ I currently have a pretty flexible routine and am more than happy to work around your pet’s individual needs throughout the week! Whether it’s walks, check-ins, playtime, or some extra love and attention, I’m happy to help make their days a little brighter! 🐾 I know every pet has their own little personality, preferences, and routine, so I always do my best to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved! Whether I’m stopping by for a check-in or taking your pup on a walk, I’m happy to follow your instructions and accommodate whatever makes your furry friend feel most at home.

About: With over 3 years of dog and cat sitting, I use the experience of my own fur family to ensure safe play and care for others! Experience with dogs, cats, puppies, and kittens: this includes walks, administering medication, feeding, and play! I work remotely and I have a very flexible schedule. I have the ability to take my pet with yours to ensure a very tired and happy animal. My home has an enclosed backyard and room inside for your fur baby. I live near a few different parks that your pet will love!

The average cost of House Sitting in Pala is $83 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $83 and $83 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 November 2026, there are 3,455 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Pala. 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 Pala 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 Pala 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 Pala 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Pala. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
