“Noemy was wonderful sending pictures of Wyatt each day we were away. Having someone to keep our dog company in our home was the best scenario and Noemy was perfect for the job. We have already booked her for our next trip! Thanks Noemy and thanks Rover for the service.”

“We had a last minute cancelation for a dog sitter. Holly was able to house and dog sit with short notice while we were out of the country. Our fur-babies were well taken care of. Will use Holly again!”

“Claudia is truly exceptional! This was our second time having her care for our four dogs, and she continues to amaze us with each visit. Over Thanksgiving week, she cared for three elderly dogs with gentle attentiveness and one rambunctious four‑year‑old “teenager” pup who is endlessly active and seeking adventures. Her adaptability in balancing the needs of senior dogs with the energy of a high‑spirited youngster was remarkable — each received the perfect mix of patience, play, and love, making us feel completely at ease while away. Not only did she keep the dogs happy and well‑cared‑for, but she went above and beyond in every detail. We returned to a beautifully clean and tidy home — honestly better than when we left it. Her reliability, kindness, and willingness to go the extra mile make her an absolute treasure. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, and we wholeheartedly recommend Claudia to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring.”

“Paris did a great job watching our two dogs while we were on vacation to 10 days!! She stayed at our house with the dogs and sent me a picture every day. It was great to have someone we could trust watch our babies! I would highly recommend her as a dog sitter.”

“Oh my! What a great dog sitter, and wonderful person! Kathryn took amazing care of our Pup Millie! She was Super committed to the care and communication during our trip. I totally 100% recommend Kathryn as a dog sitter! She really cares deeply for the pets in her care.”

“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!”

“I had a house/dog sitter lined up but the had a family emergency and bailed on 6 days before I was leaving town. After searching, begging, and panicking, I got a response for Shea who was on board with the work and timeframe! He was very communicative, sending me messages regularly and responding quickly. He kept in the loop about my pets (dog and hamsters). And, one of the most important factors for me, he was kind and enjoyed being with the animals. He has experience with dogs so knows how to work with them and my dog behaved well and listened to him. When we got back my dog was a little confused - this was the first time we had ever left her with another person so we knew that she would be and Shea hung out a few minutes and we talked about some of the many many things he does while we acclimated a bit. My dog has an abuse history but with Shea she wasn't jumpy at all, she was comfortable and felt safe - that alone was a huge sign to me - just seeing how she reacted after a week with him and she was happy, comfortable, and calm. Oh and he pointed out an owie she got while we were gone so we could get it taken care of. Thanks Shea! I highly recommend him to others looking for someone!”

About: Hi Im Lucy I have taking care of animals since I was younger. I have pet sitted for family, friends, and clients so I can provide plenty references. I am a teacher on summer break and have availability for house sitting drop ins, walks, and overnight. Looking to provide pet care during the summer I am available now until July 23rd. I am available all week to drop in or for overnight stays. Let me know exactly what your fur babies need! All animals are different and I can provide to whatever they need. I love to know all the details just let me know!

About: I took care of 'Beau', a very large white American Retriever. He is the sweetest! I was temporary mom to Elsie, a huuuuuge Great Dane lady. You can see images of me and Elsie in my profile. I took care of a home and Chester (Tabby Male Kitty), Luna (Black Female Kitty) and their dog sister SnoBella. I watched these 3 for several months while their mama was recovering from illness. You can see images of SnoBella, Chester, Luna and I walking. The kitties loved to walk with SnoBella and me. I am also a plant mom. My own home — which is cared for by my daughter when I'm gone — contains 3 indoor trees and over 10 live plants, as well as a Gardyn indoor garden. I consider my plants also sort of my babies and will take care of yours as well. I work remotely, which allows me to spend much of the day with the pets in my care. Because I'm home throughout the day, I can provide companionship, maintain their normal routine, and keep a close eye on their well-being. Many pets enjoy relaxing nearby while I work, whether that's a cat curled up in my lap or a dog snoozing by my desk. If your pet is allowed outside I sometimes enjoy sitting on the patio and letting them roam the yard while I work. I keep pets on their normal routine as much as possible. My day includes feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning or potty breaks, playtime, walks, and plenty of affection. Since I work remotely, pets often keep me company throughout the day, whether that's a cat in my lap or a dog at my feet. If approved by the pet parent, I'm also happy to let pets sleep with me so they feel safe and comfortable while you're away.

“Lety did a phenomenal job watching our dogs and house while we were out of town for a week. We have a big dog with anxiety and a tiny 19 year old girl who has a special diet and feeding routine as well as multiple medications and care requirements. Lety was meticulously thorough in making sure both dogs got the care and attention they needed and she kept us updated consistently throughout our trip with photos of the dogs. The house was just as tidy, if not more so, when we returned which was a huge relief after travelling all day to get back home. I would absolutely recommend Lety for any dog care needs and we will certainly be reaching out to her again the next time we leave town”

About: Growing up as a country girl, I've always had a deep connection with animals and a passion for caring for them. My experience in pet care includes looking after a variety of pets, from cats and dogs to farm animals like horses and goats. I ensure a safe and loving environment for all pets in my care, treating each one as if they were my own. My daily routine allows me to dedicate ample time to play, exercise, and provide personalized care, ensuring that every pet gets the attention they deserve. With a focus on trust and safety, I’m committed to making both pets and their owners feel at ease while I offer my services. I'm currently working for Uber part-time with open availability in the evening after 3pm Mon-Friday. Being self-employed not only allows me to make my own schedule, but I have a very reliable vehicle with lots of space. I've already been transporting dogs and cats with their owners for a couple of years now, and I've gotten wonderful feedback about the level of comfort their furry friends experience during transport! When your pet is in my care, they will be safe and well looked after. I keep a close eye on them and provide secure spaces for playing. I believe trust is important, so I communicate with pet owners to give them peace of mind. Your pet will get personal attention, lots of love, and fun activities, making their time with me enjoyable and stress-free. You can be confident that I will create a friendly and positive atmosphere for all pets!
“Beth was the most lovely, kind, and caring sitter for our baby boy Blue. I felt so at ease traveling knowing she was watching him and our house. She is super intentional about security and customizes her watching based on your pet and their needs! Will definitely book her again and recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter ?”

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. They have moved out of state and I miss it. Let me take care of your furry baby like my own. I work M-Thurs, Friday I work from home, from 8am-5pm. I can do weekends or after work. If its house sitting then I would stay in your home. I will follow instructions on how you want me to take care of your pet, I know pets can get anxious and miss their family. I will try my best to offer comfort and familiarity.

FAQs for House Sitting - Palomar Mountain
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 2,481 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.
