“This was our third time having Rachel in our home. She was on time, as always. Our three girls love to see her drive up, as do we. She is pleasant, courteous, and definitely loves our girls(and they love her). She sends updates and pictures, and always responds to me when I want to check in. If she needs to leave to take care of her own dogs, she lets me know and isn't ever gone long. We have a special needs blind baby, and a hyper-active Border Collie. Rachel is spot on as far as accommodating their needs, as well as being a knowledgeable dog person. Our home is always as we left it when we get back. We will be using her every time we need to leave town in the future. I'd recommend her to anyone, anytime! We feel safe with her being with our babies when we can't be.”
“Excellent work ethics and attitude. Very attentive to the pets and details. I would gladly hire Sofia again to dog / house sit. Sofia goes over and aboard what’s required snd communicated well with us.. she was able to handle our 3 dogs and cat very well and they love her— i can tell. I highly recommend her.”
About: I have been taking care of dogs ever since I was in middle school. My mom use to take us to AFV to volunteer and ever since then I have fallen in love with connecting with dogs and understanding them. I have used Rover for my own dog , Nova, and I understand the importance of updates, care, attention, play time , rest time and meal time. I have full availability to care for your pet and 100% of my time and attention will be directed to them at all times. Being a dog mom , I understand the importance of attention and love. I live on fenced in ranch! With plenty of room for play time and so many new scents to explore. We have no pool , and a completed gated property. If I am in your home I will be sure to make sure to understand every need you ask for your pet :)
About: As an active dog lover, I know how important exercise and routine are for a happy pet. I have extensive experience handling dogs of all breeds, whether they need high-energy walks, gentle neighborhood strolls, or scheduled feeding and play visits. I take pride in providing reliable, attentive care so you have complete peace of mind knowing your pet is in great hands. I work from home so I am always here :) I currently have two small dogs myself. I work from home so I have all day with your fur- babies! I have a flexible daily routine, allowing me to give pets frequent supervision, regular potty breaks, and plenty of playtime throughout the day. Whether hosting dogs in my home or handling walks and drop-ins, I easily adapt to your pet’s specific feeding and exercise schedule I live in a house with a securely fenced yard that features a cute mini bridge, offering a safe and fun area for outdoor play.
“Jennifer was very kind to watch Mamba with less than a week's notice, which I really appreciated! Mamba also had a last-minute vet visit and Jennifer was still willing to watch her with a cone, and some new medication to administer that I had not planned on. Everything went smoothly! Loved getting pictures as well!”
“Kassandra was great! When initially meeting my pups, she took the time to ask questions and let them get to know her. While sitting, she sent some great photos of my much missed pups and was a great communicator! Definitely would recommend!!”
“Dawn was so sweet and very attentive to Max’s need and personality. We were were so comfortable leaving him in her care. We will definitely be contacting Dawn again!! Thank you?❤️”

About: I loved dogs since I was little always feeding the stray dogs no matter what. The care of animals always comes first for me. Seeing any kind of animal get hurt breaks my heart. I try my best to show them love even if I can't keep them with me. I have a husky of my own, I always give him is morning and nightly walks along even if I have school I always make time for him! During my school hours (I am in college) my schedule will change but I'll try not to. I can do Tuesday and Thursday. My classes start at 11am-3:10pm if you are willing to work with that I am happily to be able to work with you as well 😊 I would show the animal love and care! I always praise them for being so well behaved, if they are shy it will take time, I'll start small keep my distance so I wont stress them. Trust takes time and it always comes with an amazing bond 💖
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats as a professional groomer for the past 5 years. I am a mom to a tripod Shiba Inu mix and a deaf Shih Tzu mix! I work for a school district 7-4 Monday-Friday. This has freed up my schedule on weekday evenings and weekends are typically free with a bit of notice! I have a soft spot for seniors, I am especially gentle with the sugar faced pets. I understand each pet is a unique situation and will have flexibility to meet their needs!
About: I am an experienced pet parent with two rescue pups, a special needs senior husky, and an anxious, high-energy pit mix. I understand dogs of all ages, personalities, and needs! Whether it’s senior care, puppy training, or calming anxious pups, I’m here to give your furry friend the love and attention they deserve!" I am currently self-employed and I get to set my own schedule, so I have a lot of flexibility in my days at this time. "Whether it's checking in, going for a walk, or just spending time, I will treat your pup like my own. As a dedicated pet parent to my own dog, a high-energy pit mix with anxiety, and recently lost my senior husky who had a lot of medical needs, I understand that every dog has unique needs, personalities, and quirks. I have experience with everything from managing medical care for senior pups to helping anxious dogs feel safe and secure. Whether your dog needs extra patience, plenty of playtime, or just a comforting presence, I’m here to provide the same love, care, and attention I give my own furry family."
“Caitlin was fantastic! This was our first experience using Rover and leaving our pups for five days. She kept us informed the entire time, sending updates and pictures of our dogs. Our home was in perfect condition when we returned, just as we left it. Our pups got along wonderfully with her, and we will definitely be booking her again for dog sitting.”
“Robbin is great! One of my dogs has high anxiety and takes pills so I was concerned if they would get along but he absolutely loved her! She gave all my dogs love and care while I was out of town several days. Highly recommend! Will be using her more!”
About: As a lifelong pet owner, I have developed a strong understanding of the daily responsibilities involved in caring for dogs and cats. From maintaining feeding schedules and exercise routines to providing companionship, basic grooming, and monitoring their health, I am dedicated to ensuring pets are happy, healthy, and well loved. Taking care of pets is already a natural part of my everyday life. I have 5 pets of my own, so I’m used to making time for feeding, playtime, walks, and giving them plenty of love and attention. I genuinely enjoy being around animals and don’t see pet care as a chore. I’m happy to work their routine into my day and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owners are away. I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I like to learn their personality and what makes them comfortable so I can give them the care and attention they’re used to. Whether they’re staying in my home or I’m caring for them in their home, I make sure they have plenty of food, fresh water, exercise, playtime, and lots of love.

The average cost of House Sitting in Pelican Bay is $56 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $44 and $67 per night.

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 Pelican Bay 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 Pelican Bay 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 Pelican Bay 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.
