“We were very happy with Noemy, the cats are not used to us not being here and she actually sent pictures of them and they did not hide the entire time (this is huge!!!!!) Will definitely be a repeat customer”


“Derek was great with our cat and dog. He kept us updated and sent pictures. They both looked so happy. Our house was in better shape than we left it. Thanks, Derek. You’re our go to from now on.”

“Holly was amazing!! We have a very stubborn dachshund who does not warm up to new people easily and barks a lot when meeting someone new. Leaving her for the first time for a lengthy international trip, I was pretty anxious, but holly made me feel completely relieved! She got our pup to warm up to her in no time and kept us updated with the cutest pics. She was also a very tidy house guest leaving our place cleaner than we left it. Would definitely book holly again and highly recommend her.”

“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!”

“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: 🐾 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.
“We recently had the pleasure of having Letty stay at our home while we were away, and we couldn’t be more impressed. From the first moment we met her it was clear that she was incredible bond with animals and attention to detail made all the difference. Not only did she keep our dogs, happy, comfortable, and cared for, but she also went above and beyond to ensure everything at home was in perfect order. We love the regular updates and adorable picture she sent, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away.”

“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.”

“Heather is fantastic. My pups loved having her stay with them. Heather is responsive and you never feel like they are not cared for. She stays in contact and gives updates. The idea of leaving your pets worry free is amazing. Thank you Heather!”

“Anna was great! This was a long time for us to be away from our dogs so I was nervous but Anna made me feel comfortable every step of the way. She really took the time to get to know our dogs and went above and beyond. We will definitely reach out for future bookings! Thanks again Anna!”

“Ragon was everything I thought she would be and more! I could tell from the start that I was leaving my fur baby in the right hands. I would highly recommend her and will use her again if the opportunity arises before we move.”

“We felt comfortable immediately with Claudia staying at our home and watching our pups. She seemed to take such incredible care of them, that we felt safe to enjoy our trip. She sent regular pics and updates and the pups seemed so happy. Our dogs also needed medication and she had no problem administering it. She also took great care of our home and cleaned up. We are so glad we found Claudia and can't wait to book her again!”

About: I used to sit for a German family, whether it was date night, or when they left the country to visit their family. They were always so grateful they could trust me.

“Lily was an amazing house sitter and took such great care of our dog Marley! She sent daily updates with photos and we knew Marley was well exercised with daily walks and given lots of love. We came home to a clean house and a very happy dog. I highly recommend Lily and will definitely hire her again. Thank you Lily!!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 2,456 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Palomar Mountain. 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 Palomar Mountain 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 Palomar Mountain 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 Palomar Mountain 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.
