“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.”

I have dog sat since I was 8 years old when I would watch my neighbor's dog for a month at a time while they went on business trips. Also I have owned large dogs and have experienced taking care of elder dogs. friends and employers have relied on me to watch their animals, feed, water, walk...ect I am a college graduate and am a stay at home mom. I have a flexible schedule to walk and or run your dog in the morning or evening ! Let me know know how I can help! I can come to your house and Run or Walk your dog depending on its needs as well as feed, bathe and give him/her lots of love.
“We were very appreciative of Beth, our dog ended up having separation anxiety that we we did not anticipate and she kept us informed and did her best to keep our dog calm while we were away. Beth was very easy to communicate with, we would recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter. Thank you Beth!”
“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!”
“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.”
“Alex was great! She saved my life and came super last minute to watch my doggy. She kept me updated frequently, sent me multiple pictures and did great with my doggy’s medication management. She was happy to help and be there, my doggy was sad seeing her leave! Would definitely 10/10 recommend Alex and will be asking her for help if needed in the future!”
“Ricardo took great care of my pups while I was out of country. He was good with the routine, provided timely updates with great pictures and took good care of the house as well. Definitely recommend him.”
“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”
“Vivian took wonderful care of my kitten, Hanny, while I was away for the weekend. She kept her fed, clean, and entertained and was a great communicator! We appreciate you so much!”
About: Hi! My name is Bella, and caring for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve always had a deep love for animals, and I’m currently a proud dog mom to two dogs of my own, whom I absolutely adore and care for every day. I have 3 years of experience caring for and loving animals, and I truly believe that pets deserve to feel safe, comfortable, and loved—even when their parents are away. My goal is to give your pets the same patience, attention, and affection I would want for my own. Whether it’s going on walks, playing, giving lots of cuddles, keeping them on their normal routine, or simply being there for them, I want your pets to feel like they have a friend by their side. I know how hard it can be to leave your fur babies behind, so I’m here to give you peace of mind while making sure they know they aren’t alone. ❤️🐾 Pet care fits very naturally into my daily and weekly routine. With my husband currently away serving in the military, I have more flexibility and time in my schedule to dedicate to something I genuinely love—caring for animals. I’m able to be flexible with my availability and give each pet the attention, companionship, and care they deserve. I love having the opportunity to stay active, spend time with animals, and make pet care a meaningful part of my day while also focusing on myself and building work that I truly enjoy. 🐾❤️ Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in their own home, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for. I like to follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including their feeding schedule, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and any special instructions their parents provide. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and make sure everything is kept clean and just as I found it. I’ll give pets plenty of attention, affection, playtime, and companionship so they don’t feel lonely while their family is away. I also understand that every pet is different. Some may want lots of cuddles and play, while others may need more patience and personal space. I’m happy to meet them where they’re comfortable and treat every pet with the same love and care I give my own. 🐾❤️
“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.”
“Jennifer was great! Helped me out super last minute after another dog sitter cancelled on us 11pm the day before we left out of town! She was super quick to respond and found the time to meet Ryder beforehand. She even made sure to be back later that day when we were leaving just to calm our nerves about a new dog sitter. She communicates well and sent me a few pics / vids. It is always nerve wrecking as a pittie owner to leave him in new hands but I’m glad it worked out! Ryder was three weeks post surgery so she had to administer some medication and had no issues. This also meant we needed someone who would stay overnight in our home and share a bed with Ryder, all of which she did. I would use her again for sure next time I have an out of town situation!”

Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully listen to every client’s preferences, provide plenty of supervision, maintain a clean environment, and ensure every dog feels safe, happy, and loved.
“Stephanie was awesome with Charli! We ended up needing a house sitter last min(after another girl didn't give us all the info upfront) and she was more than willing to come over that same morning for a meet and greet, she made sure to send us tons of pics and videos in her one night here. She took her on walks and played with her in the yard. We would highly recommend using Stephanie and will definitely call her again for services.”
About: I have 2 dogs and love animals. You can be confident your furry friends will be well taken care of care of when you are away. I am currently working part time so I have plenty of time to play with your pups. I am available evening annd mornings and weekends anytime. I provide plenty of playtime and exercise, ensuring they stay active and entertained. I prioritize their comfort with cozy resting areas and regular feeding schedules, along with access to fresh water. With lots of love and attention, I make sure they feel secure and happy while they're with me, just like they would at home.
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Pauma Valley
We had a wonderful experience with Julianna! She was very communicative throughout our trip, sending updates and photos that gave us peace of mind. She was gentle and attentive to our senior girl’s needs (including meds), and it really showed in how relaxed our pup was when we got home. On top of that, the house was absolutely spotless when we returned. We’d happily book with her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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 Pauma Valley 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 Pauma Valley 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Pauma Valley 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 , 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 .
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
