“Laurie was amazing! She was very accommodating and sent photos of my fur babies while she watched them on my wedding day. She took them for walks and was very patient with them all. She was a real life saver and I would recommend her to any one in need of an amazing dog sitter. 🩷🐶”
About: Critter keeper here! 🐾 I’ve always had a huge love for animals of all shapes and sizes! From dogs and cats to reptiles and amphibians, caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I’m patient, attentive, and understand that every pet has their own unique personality, needs, and routines. I know how important it is to trust someone with your animals, and I’ll always treat your pets with the same love, respect, and attention I give my own. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away! I currently work part-time with a very flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time to caring for your pets! I have availability throughout the week, including weekdays and weekends, and can often adjust my schedule to accommodate your pet’s needs. Pet care is already a big part of my daily life, so making time for your furry family members comes naturally to me! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always prioritize creating a safe, clean, and comfortable environment! I’m careful about securing doors and gates, keeping potentially harmful items out of reach, and making sure pets are supervised appropriately. I’ll follow all feeding, walking, and care instructions closely while treating your home with the utmost respect. I also believe communication is super important, so I’m happy to send regular updates and pictures to give you peace of mind while you’re away! My goal is for you to come home to a happy pet and a home just as you left it!
“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!!!”

About: I’m a responsible, patient, and caring person who understands how important pets are to their families. I will treat your pets with love and attention, follow their routines and specific instructions, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’m currently pursuing my bachelor’s degree, and pet care is a wonderful way to balance my studies. Taking a break from homework to spend time with animals, going for walks, and playing makes my days brighter and brings me so much joy. I make sure to follow your instructions carefully, respect your home, and maintain your pet’s usual routines as much as possible. I believe communication is important, so I’ll keep you updated while you’re away.
About: I have taken care of cats since I was about 10 years old and dogs since I was about 13. Shortly after I moved out I adopted puppy then a kitten. It was definitely fun training my own puppy. I am currently a stay at home mom who also homeschools my kids. Our dogs are taken out for walks during the day and night. We love playing and cuddling with our cats and dogs throughout our school day. We crate our dogs when we are not home. If your pet is needed to be in a crate when you are not home, I can ensure that will happen.
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life. I’m highly sensitive to animals & their needs. I have a lot of patience to care for an animal no matter their age. I’m currently working full-time, however I am off at 6pm and available to work evenings or overnights. I’m available to work all day on Sundays and mondays. I ensure that I have a meet and greet before the sitting. I want to make sure that your pet feels comfortable with me because that’s my #1 priority. I will care for your pet by ensuring their comfortability & making sure I ask a lot of questions to understand their needs.
“Lety was amazing! She took care of Bloom for 10 days, and she did a phenomenal job. We got daily updates with pictures and videos, which was great and so reassuring that Bloom was having a blast! Bloom was also able to play with Lety’s dog, Penelope, which made the videos extra cute. 10/10 recommend Lety, and we will definitely be booking her again the next time we need a sitter. Thanks Lety for taking such great care of our Bloom!”
“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.”

About: I have always lived in a house with dogs. I have experience in administering medication to dogs anywhere from birth to the senior years. I have experience leash training as well as house training. I currently work a part-time serving job with very flexible hours. I have reliable transportation and can take same day appointments! I am able to check in as many times as needed as well as stay overnight, I do live in a house with a lot of animals so I don’t believe it would be a good idea to take other pets into my home but, I can guarantee to treat your pets and home as if they are my own when in my care. As a teenager I often did house/child/pet care for people in my community. I understand that I am a guest in your space and I can promise to act with respect, kindness, and integrity as I care for what is yours.
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.

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.
“I had a sitter bail on me while I was on a trip. Ted stepped in last minute and saved me. He was responsive, kind, and left my dogs exercised and the house clean. I would definitely book again”
“Vivian was amazing with our 2 big dogs. She did a drop in visit the week before coming to watch our girls for 4 days. While on our trip we got lots of photos and updates and after the first text we knew the girls were having fun. When we got home, I noticed how silky their coats were from all the brushings they got while Vivian was here. They were happy to see us, but they still go to check out the room where Vivian was sleeping to see if maybe she’s still here. It’s unanimous that we will be using her to sit again.”

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
The average cost of House Sitting in Pauma Valley is $61 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $29 and $108 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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.
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 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 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
