“Laurie was amazing! She was very accommodating and sent photos of my fur babies while she watched them on my wedding day. She took them for walks and was very patient with them all. She was a real life saver and I would recommend her to any one in need of an amazing dog sitter. 🩷🐶”

“Steven did an absolutely fantastic job watching Cooper and our home. Cooper was able to keep his normal routine and get lots of walks and cuddles thanks to Steven's attentive care. Cooper was also on medication and Steven did a great job with that as well. We returned to a clean home and a happy dog! We highly recommend Steven as a responsible and loving pet care provider for your house and pet sitting needs.”

About: I’ve loved being around animals since I was born and I’ve had quite a few pets. Pigs, rabbits, cats, and dogs I’ve had them all and loved them more than anything. I’ve adopted a lot of rescues and have had a lot of experience with tons of different breeds and ages. Ive owned a few senior dogs and they have a close place in my heart. I’ve had my own dog walking and sitting business since I was 10 and I’ve taken care of a lot of peoples furry babies. I currently have three dogs of my own and they truly are family. ❤️ I’m currently working part-time so I have a very flexible schedule to give your pets the time and care they need. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, walks, or keeping up with your pets routine, I’m very committed to making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Since I have pets of my own, to protect your pets and mine, I only am offering care in my clients homes. I think that pets are most comfortable in their own familiar environment where they can feel secure while their owner is away. When caring for pets in a clients home, I follow instructions very carefully. This includes feeding schedules, exercise needs, medication (if needed), and any special routines for your pets. I make sure that your pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship while also respecting their own personalities and boundaries. My goal is to keep your pets happy, comfortable, and well cared for until you return home.

About: I began caring for dogs at a young age and have experience with a variety of breeds, ages, temperaments, diets, and care needs. I understand that every dog is different, and I take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, and preferences to help them feel safe and comfortable while you're away. I pride myself on being reliable, attentive, and communicative, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. Whether your pup loves long walks, extra playtime, lots of cuddles, or simply sticking to a familiar routine, I'm happy to accommodate their needs. I can't wait to meet your furry friend! Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine because I work fully remotely and maintain a flexible schedule. This allows me to provide plenty of attention, companionship, walks, playtime, and care throughout the day rather than leaving pets alone for extended periods. I am available on weekdays, weekends, and for long-term stays, and I enjoy building my schedule around making sure pets feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for. I always follow the owner's instructions closely to maintain a pet's normal routine and provide consistency while they're away. This includes feeding schedules, exercise routines, medications, crate training, house rules, and any special care requirements. In both my home and a client's home, I prioritize safety, cleanliness, exercise, affection, and plenty of supervision. I make sure pets receive the attention, enrichment, and care they need while keeping owners updated with regular messages and photos for peace of mind.

“Juliette was absolutely amazing! She's so kind and considerate of my animals! My dog has really bad separation anxiety and she really helped him through me leaving for the work day! She loved on my cats as well and treated them as her own! She was so good about potty breaks, feeding time, taking pictures, keeping me updated and just overall very responsive and just so kind! I definitely recommend her to anyone who needs their fur babies watched or checked in on! Absolutely loved having her stay with my babies and plan to utilize her services in the future!”

I am currently a full time student and dog dad with time in between my dogs routine to help other fur babies through their day. I am a responsible and trustworthy animal friend who understands the importance of following through with individualized care to ensure furry friends and their owners are protected and supported in their day to day.

About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 10 years and genuinely treat every pet as if they were my own. I also live on a farm where I care for a variety of animals, which has given me hands-on experience understanding different personalities, temperaments, behaviors, and individual care needs. I know that no two animals are the same, and I take the time to understand what makes each one feel safe and comfortable. In addition to my hands-on animal experience, I have a background in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) and knowledge of behavioral principles that I apply when working with dogs, including positive reinforcement, consistency, recognizing behavioral cues, and encouraging appropriate behaviors. I’m comfortable with different personalities and energy levels, as well as puppies and dogs who may need additional patience, structure, or reassurance. I understand how important it is to completely trust the person caring for your pet. Whether your pet loves walks and playtime or prefers cuddles and a quiet companion, I’ll provide care based on their individual personality and routine—not a one-size-fits-all approach. I’m also happy to reinforce training routines you already use at home and carefully follow instructions for feeding, medications, exercise, and daily care. Most importantly, I want your pet to feel safe, loved, and at home while you’re away, and I’ll keep you connected with regular updates and photos for extra peace of mind. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I understand that every pet has their own routine, so I do my best to accommodate their normal feeding, walking, potty, playtime, and bedtime schedules. I’m available for both weekday and weekend care and will communicate clearly with you regarding scheduling and your pet’s needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my priority. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, triggers, feeding schedule, medications, and any special instructions before their stay. I provide a clean, comfortable and supervised environment with plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and downtime. I never assume two pets have the same needs and will always follow the care instructions you provide. I also believe communication builds trust, so you can expect regular updates and photos while your pet is in my care.

About: I have experience training puppies, bathing, grooming, and taking care of older pets with medical conditions. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, cats, rabbits, reptiles, and aquatic friends. I currently work part-time and I’m studying for the MCAT with plenty of time to look after your pets and housesit. I only work a few hours a week in after school care, so I can dedicate most of my time to ensuring your pets are well taken care of. I understand separation anxiety while you’re away may affect some pets more than others. Keeping them comfortable at home would prevent adding on more stress to your pet and you. Thus, I would prefer to stay overnight and pick up where you left off with their routine. I’m very calm, reliable, know how to handle emergency situations, and I’m an animal whisperer :)

“The care Beth provided to our dogs was exceptional. Her commitment to ensuring their well-being while we were away was outstanding and evidenced by their calm, relaxed, happy state upon our return. The ability to be worry-free and knowing without a doubt that our dogs are safe and happy while we are away from home is essential, though not easy to come by. Beth gave us that and we look forward to having her care for our pups again (and again) in the future.”

About: Over the 15 years I’ve been house sitting professionally, I’ve had the pleasure of caring for puppies to sr. dogs, kittens to sr. cats, lizards, fish, birds, and even farm animals. My goal when I care for your pet is to keep your pet in the routine to which they are accustomed. That means I follow your written instructions, as far their feeding time, walk time, etc. Though, I also want your vacation to feel like a staycation for your pet. That means I’m going to have fun with them whether that means giving them belly rubs, playing fetch with them or playing other fun games with them. Also, please note that you can hire me for overnights, dog walks, or both. So, my price for overnight stays is to stay in your home and care for your pet, but dog walking is separate from overnight stays. During my stay, as much as I will care for you pet(s), I will also care for your home. I’m happy to water any plants, bring in any deliveries/mail, take out the trash and other light chores (I won’t mow your lawn). I work for myself writing online content for people, so my work goes where I go. The only thing I ask is that you have an Internet connection and someplace where I can set up my computer. As far as caring for pets in my home, I am only able to board certain breeds of dogs, and that is contingent on the permission of the homeowner. I am unable to care for cats in my home, but I would be able to come to your home.. In general, I always care for your pet according to your schedule and preference. And I am always sure to adjust my schedule according to the schedule you set for me to ensure your pet receives optimal care. But the key to pet sitting is to emulate the routine to which the dog is already accustomed. My goal is that when you go on vacation your pet(s) will feel like they're on a staycation. Also, please note while I charge $65 per day, I charge separately for walks ($20 per walk). For pets that do not require walks (cats, sr. dogs, etc), I charge $75 a day.

FAQs for House Sitting - Pala

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Pala on Rover is $83.25 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 3,476 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 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 Pala. On Rover:

  • 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 99% 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.
