“Once again we came home, from nearly 2 weeks away, to happy and well-adjusted dogs thanks to Beth's fantastic care. On top of that, this time she outdid herself by providing exceptional care even for the wildlife that visit our yard -- she scrubbed the bird baths and they're like new!! Amazing!!!”

“We couldn't ask for a better pet sitter. Doris treated our pets like her own, showering them with attention and cuddles, and sending us ample pictures! We had total peace of mind the entire time we were away. Thank you!!”


“Nicholas is such a nice, polite, and communicative young man. He kept in touch with me constantly before & during his stay at my home. I’ll definitely have him watch my golden boy, Beau-Bo, again in the future. Beau-Bo had unexpected ear surgery just before I left and Nicholas gave him his medications daily and took him to a follow-up vet appointment. Nicholas kept in touch with me and sent photos while I was away and I could see my Beau-Bo was doing well 😊. Thanks, Nicholas!”

About: Since I was a tiny child I have lived with and cared for animals. I grew up in a rural area and have had dogs, cats, rabbits, chickens, horses, a donkey, lizards, pet rats, mice and hamsters. I have had cats live to be as old as 21, cared for senior dogs and horses as well as all of the other beloved animal members of my family. I have administered insulin for four years to my senior cat who is diabetic. I recently moved to Fallbrook and left my corporate job so I can enjoy my life and do the things I love. One of my greatest joys is being around and caring for animals. I am dependable, caring, kind and hardworking. I would love to meet you and your fur babies. I promise to treat them with nothing but love and kindness. I have retired from my corporate job and am free to care for your pets when you need. My schedule is flexible and I can provide early day services and anytime you need Monday through Sunday. I am thorough and tidy in your home and will follow your directions exactly. I will provide photos and check in notes to keep you constantly updated about your pet or pets.
“We had an amazing experience with Angela. She was punctual, communicative, and patient with our more timid dog. She kept us informed throughout her time with our dogs, and we felt very confident and secure while she stayed with them. We came home to a wonderful surprise — Angela wrote us a sweet report card and gifted us a photo of our dogs that she captured. We give her our highest possible recommendation”

“He was perfect for our 3 month old puppy and communicated and sent me photos throughout the time my dog was with him! He’s someone i would definitely rebook with him and i recommend him!!! Thank you so much for taking good care of Dante!!”


“Meg took excellent care of our lab for 4 days. She was very attentive to his needs and stayed with him the entire stay, which we truly appreciated. She was a great communicator which gave us the peace of mind that our dog was doing well without us! Highly recommend Meg!”


“Belinda is one of the most incredible dog sitters EVER! She communicated effectively, followed every instruction on caring for our two little puppies, and ensured that they were loved and well cared for during my wife’s and I family vacation! 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking for a reliable professional dog sitter.”

“This was my first time utilizing Rover after an emergency pet-sitting situation came up. We have a 1 year old pup with very limited exposure to other people. Emily's reviews are what caught my eye and she delivered. She was responsive, professional, and communicative if something caught her eye out of the ordinary with the pup. SUPER polite and took excellent care of the house while we were gone for 2 days/nights! Highly highly recommend. I'm very appreciative of her and will DEFINITELY reach out to her again!”

About: As long as I can remember I have always loved animals. As I’ve aged I’ve come to like bugs and reptiles too! Over the past year friends and family have requested I watch over their furry family and I’ve happily obliged. I have some experience with reactive dogs (ability to read their body language, having a calm energy and meeting them where they are). My experience has covered, a newer kitten with a special diet, a multi-cat home + dog and a senior cat with special medication requirements. I also am a pet parent to a small dog whom I adore. Since I work part-time, my schedule is pretty flexible, allowing me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pets. Currently, I only house-sit on days I do not work out of home, so my priority is you furry family. I’m pretty flexible depending on each individual pets needs. Whether it’s a walk, drop-in visit, or overnight stay, my priority is making sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and as relaxed as possible while you’re away. I’m happy to accommodate your pet’s usual routine and will follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any special requests exactly as provided.
About: I have puppy/dog training expertise - I’m adept at teaching basic commands and house-training, ensuring your little furball grows into a well-behaved companion. I engage pets with stimulating activities and games to keep them mentally and physically active. I currently work from home around 4 days a week, so I have plenty of time to play with your furry pets during the day. I also have a 2 year old 11 pound Havanese that loves to play with other puppies/dogs. I have a fenced yard where your furry companion can play with our little Banali. I also will sit outside with the dogs during the course of the day.
“Here’s a polished Rover review you can post: Kelly was absolutely amazing and truly saved us when our pet sitter canceled at the last minute. She took incredible care of our four dogs and three little pigs while staying in our home. From the start, she was communicative, reliable, and clearly cared about making sure all of our animals were happy and well cared for. She sent frequent updates and lots of photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was obvious that our pets were comfortable, loved, and getting plenty of attention. We came home to happy animals and a well-cared-for house. We couldn’t be more grateful for Kelly’s help and professionalism, especially on such short notice. We will absolutely be booking with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring pet sitter. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”

“I can’t recommend Dana enough! She stayed at my house for two nights to take care of my three dogs, and she was absolutely amazing. Communication was great—she kept me updated with messages and pictures, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. Dana followed all my instructions perfectly and was extremely reliable and punctual. What really stood out was her dedication—she stayed with my dogs the entire time, making sure they were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. My dogs absolutely loved her! On top of that, I came home to a clean house, which was such a nice bonus. I will definitely be using Dana again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.”

About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs through both Rover, my work as a professional pet groomer and my current work as a Kennel Technician. I’m comfortable handling dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments, including energetic puppies, senior dogs, and anxious pets that may need extra patience and care. My experience includes feeding routines, daily walks, playtime, basic behavior monitoring, crate training reinforcement, maintaining clean environments, and following detailed care instructions from owners. Working in grooming has also strengthened my understanding of animal behavior, safety, stress reduction, and proper handling techniques. I always focus on creating a safe, calm, and positive experience for every pet while keeping owners updated with communication and photos My schedule is flexible, and I do my best to accommodate each client’s needs. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting throughout the week, including during the day, and weekends. I do currently work part-time in the evenings. I’m reliable with communication, punctuality, and keeping consistent routines for pets while their owners are away. I care for pets by keeping their routines as consistent and stress-free as possible. I follow all feeding schedules, exercise routines, medication instructions, and any special care requests closely to make sure each pet feels safe and comfortable. During visits and stays, I provide plenty of attention, playtime, walks, potty breaks, and supervision while also paying close attention to behavior and body language. Cleanliness and safety are very important to me, so I always maintain a clean environment, secure doors and gates, and make sure pets are never left in unsafe situations. I also keep owners updated with regular communication and photos so they can feel confident their pets are being well cared for while they’re away.
“Brittany is so sweet with our pup, Max! She cared for him like her own. Brittany staying with Max gives us such a peace of mind! She took him for all his walks, played with him, and made sure he was safe! We already have Brittany booked again!”

About: I have had pets my entire life! Mostly dogs but a couple cats as well! Weather it be my family or friends pets, I have cared for all kinds of animals from a really young age. I absolutely love animals all shapes, ages, and sizes. I promise to take care of all responsibilities regarding your pet/pets as well as your home. I am currently working more than part time, but less than full time! It's quite easy for me to be anywhere almost whenever i'd like to! I am currently working at an unpaid internship so I wanted to get a second job that could fit easily into my schedule therefore I chose rover! When I am taking care of your pets in your home, I will ensure that your house will be cleaner than you left it. :)

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Pala Mesa on Rover is $48.84 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 5,512 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Pala Mesa. 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 Mesa 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 Mesa 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 Mesa 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.
