“Melissa always takes great care of my pets, and is super reliable. I use her frequently over the past year, all my pets are so happy to spend time with her when I am away”
“Elton had a fantastic time! 🖤 She kept me updated throughout the entire booking and sent pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear Elton was well cared for, comfortable, and getting lots of attention. I really appreciated her communication, kindness, and how attentive she was to his needs. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!”
“Monica is awesome, very loving to all 3 of my animals and we were able to relax even though one of our doggies was not well we knew she was taking very good care of him. I would definitely have her come care for them again.”
“Monica stayed at our home with our fur babies (2 dogs and 3 cats) for a few days over the 4th of July this year and she was amazing. She send us lots of updates, photos and videos throughout her stay, and made sure we knew they were all doing well. We were so nervous about leaving our babies over the holiday with all the fireworks, but she handled their medication and let them snuggle with her and ensured they were safe. So grateful for her and will definitely use her again!”
“What a blessing Chloe was/is for our family. We have never left our pups with anyone other than family. I was definitely more anxious than the dogs. Chloe stayed at our home for two days and nights and my anxiety went away. She communicated with us, took care of our babies (dogs), and our home. She is now part of the family and we will be having her back again. Thank you Chloe for everything.”
“Sara was fantastic at taking care of our dogs! She is an incredibly kind person and did phenomenal with random quirks our dogs have with strangers. She sent tons of updates and pictures and in every one our dogs looked relaxed and happy. Will definitely hire her again!”
About: I live with my husband, son, our funny and gentle Goldendoodle Mowgli, and curious cat Tin Tin, all of us animal lovers who know how to spoil a furry friend. Mowgli loves making new friends and will happily keep your pup playing while you’re away. Our home has a big backyard perfect for zoomies and sniff sessions, plus plenty of cozy spots for naps. Since I work from home full time, your pet will get nonstop attention, and probably a few extra belly rubs. I love taking dogs on neighborhood trail walks, and my husband’s the running buddy your pup never knew they needed. I’m great with all kinds of pets, from bouncy puppies who need patience and playtime to wise senior dogs who deserve gentle care and lots of love. Basically, your pet will get treated like one of the family, and maybe even better! Since I work from home full time, pet care fits naturally into my day. I’m always available to let pups out whenever they need a bathroom break or some fresh air, so they never have to wait long. We typically go on a walk in the evening to get some exercise and enjoy the neighborhood. Mornings and evenings are full of cuddles and quality time, making sure your pet feels loved and comfortable throughout the day. On weekends, we like to take the dogs to the park for some off-leash play or bring them along on car rides for a little adventure. Because I’m home all day, I’m flexible and happy to follow your pet’s usual schedule and special needs, whether that means extra potty breaks, medication, or just some quiet companionship. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. In my home, pets are treated like family and cared for in a safe, loving environment. We have a securely fenced backyard where dogs can roam and play freely. If needed, I can crate pets comfortably for rest or safety. Since I work from home full time, your pet will have constant supervision and attention throughout the day. I follow all feeding and medication instructions carefully and make sure each pet’s routine is respected. We enjoy daily walks and plenty of cuddles in the mornings and evenings. On weekends, we like to take dogs to the park or on car rides for extra fun. I keep my home clean and pet-friendly, and I’m prepared for any emergencies with quick access to a local vet and Rover’s 24/7 support. Above all, your pet will receive personalized care, lots of love, and companionship while you’re away.
“Hailey was great with our three big dogs! We felt super comfortable having her stay, very communicative, and was able to house sit last minute. Would definitely recommend her to anyone!”
“Lincoln had a great time with Alyssa who took excellent care of him and the house. She left the house spotless and it was such a treat to come home to a happy doggo and a clean home. Would love to have her back in the future.”
“Hannah was absolutely awesome. This was her second time watching the pups. She took great care of them and the house and sent plenty of pictures and updates. Hannah was quick to respond and followed instructions well. If she was unsure of anything, she reached out. 100% would book again and again. Thank you!”

About: I've had a long history with dogs, I taken care of my own dogs and relatives dogs. I bathed, fed, trained and looked after them for over a decade. Almost a decade ago now I started to dog sit for my neighbors when they left for work or vacation. I have loved every interaction with the dogs I've come in contact with through the years on rover and in person. I love playing with the dogs, training them, feeding them and mostly just being with dogs for a part of the day. Seeing a dog grow trust and bonds with me is the best reward. I enjoy spending time with all breeds and love seeing a variety of different attitudes and playfulness in the dogs I care for. I am very good with stubborn dogs as well as kind and gentle dogs. I can handle trained dogs as well as untrained. I am able to understand dogs needs and wants pretty well. I also am able to take care of other animals such as cats, chickens, and goats. I have plenty of time to care for your pup the way you would. I will make them top priority so you don't have to worry. I can provide on time scheduled bathroom breaks and keep your dog interested in the activities we are doing. I tend to clean up after them on the spot too so if they do have an accident in your home you can rest assured it'll be cleaned.
“Jarely did an exceptional job taking care of my 2 pups! We met up beforehand so she could meet the pups and show her what the expectations for the pups were. She watched, fed, cared for my furbabies as if they were her own. She provided so many pics and videos. Also she responds very quickly. I will definitely be rebooking with her for whenever I go out of town! Thanks so much Jarely! You were amazing!”
About: I have always enjoyed caring for other’s pets. Although I don’t have any of my own I never pass up the chance to care for a family member or friend’s pet. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, big, and small dogs, cats, and even birds! I truly enjoy bonding and creating a comfortable space for whoever’s pet I watch. I am currently working part time and go to school part time so I have the capacity to take care of your pet’s needs. I am available most of the week except Thursday and Saturday after 2pm. I have a fenced yard and no pets so all my focus will be on your fur baby. I am patient and loving and willing to help with any anxiety issues the pet may have.
“Very sweet lady! Did a great job watching the house and our pets! Kept in touch with us while we were out of the state. Sent cute pictures of the dogs and cats! I would ask her to housesit/ pet sit again!”
“Caitlin was a wonderful sitter for our two dogs. From initial contact to the end of her stay, she was communicative and engaging. I loved the updates she sent throughout and felt at ease knowing our dogs were being taken care of by her. We would definitely book her again in the future.”
“Kimberly did a great job. She had to manage two large dogs over three days. The house and the pups were well cared for. I asked Kimberly to abide by some fairly strict rules with the dogs in order to manage their high-energy and potential anxiety and she did an excellent job. Kimberly have our pups multiple daily walks, administered pet medication, and maintained the security of the house. I strongly recommend Kimberly for your pet/house sitting needs.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Palmdale
Sara took excellent care of our little dog. She was very dependable and she was on time for meet and greet as well as the actual day she arrived to watch Annie. She communicated with us about Annie and sent pictures which we appreciated. We hope Sara can take care of Annie on future dates.

Evan took good care of Balto’s basic needs while I was away and generally stayed for the full 30-minute visits. He kept me updated and handled an unexpected issue getting into the house with a lot of persistence and patience, which I really appreciated. He went out of his way to work through the situation and make sure he was still able to get inside and care for Balto. There was one morning when he arrived later than the scheduled time due to an alarm issue, but thankfully Balto was fine and did not have an accident while waiting to be let out. One thing I learned through the experience is that Evan and Balto may not have been the ideal match in terms of interaction style. Balto is a large but very mellow and affectionate dog who likes to approach people for attention and may give an occasional lick. Evan explained that he sometimes preferred to give Balto a little space when he approached excitedly or tried to lick him. I see this more as a difference in interaction styles and comfort levels rather than an issue with the care Balto received. Overall, I appreciated Evan’s help, communication, and especially his willingness to problem-solve when an unexpected situation came up.

FAQs for House Sitting - Palmdale
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Palmdale on Rover is $33.3 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 2,619 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Palmdale. 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 Palmdale 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 Palmdale 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 Palmdale 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.
