“Julianna was fantastic. She was great with both my dogs and cats, getting to know each of them and their unique personalities to ensure they were all taken care of in the best way. Julianne also took great care of our home and really pulled through when our well system broke by communicating with us and being available for the repair man to come to the house. We also had visits from the local bear and Julianne was great at cleaning up the mess he made and keeping the pets safe. We will definitely be using her again.”
“Second time Virginia has watched over my fur child and she communicated with me daily to make sure I knew he was being well taken care of. Daily updates and pics and videos! She truly gives me peace of mind knowing that I don’t have to worry! ❤️”
“Maddison (aka Rose) did a great job with our dogs and house! She kept in touch with us while we were gone, kept the dogs entertained, held a fish funeral, and left us with more Its-Its in the freezer than we started with. We will definitely be using her again if she's available when we're out of town.”
“Shannon did an amazing job for my dog and cat. Emma is a 16 1/2 Australian Shepherd that needs multiple medicines. She's a very picky eater with a bad back and a tendency to get pancreatitis. Shannon was able to feed her, give her medicine regularly (not an easy task), take her for walks 1-2 times a day, and keep her healthy. I came home to a vey happy dog that was in wonderful shape. Sebastian is an indoor/outdoor cat who looked great when he came to greet me. Shannon works out of the home so was able to work in my home and keep my animals company at the same time. She's communicates and sends pictures so I always knew their status. I would definitely ask Shannon to take care of my pets again.”
“Taylor did a fantastic job with our Toby. He can be a real pill but she knew how to care for him. I would never have known by his behavior that we were gone almost 2 weeks. She was punctual and handled a medical situation with him very appropriately. I will definitely hire her again. Oh and the house was spotless and even clean sheets for two weary travelers. Thanks again.”
“Katie is responsive, reliable, understanding, and our pets love her! She is willing to give nervous pets time to warm up to her and play with the more outgoing ones. She also kept us up to date with pictures during her stay. Would 100% recommend!!”
About: I’ve always been a people person and an animal lover! I enjoy getting to know new people and their furry friends, and animals tend to warm up to me pretty quickly! I have experience caring for both big and small dogs, as well as a kitten, and I’ve loved getting to know all their different personalities. I’m a friendly, patient, and responsible college student who loves making connections with both people and animals. Whether it’s going on walks, playing, giving lots of attention, or just keeping your pet company, I want them to feel happy, comfortable, and loved! I also know how important it is to feel connected to your pets while you’re away, so you can definitely expect regular updates, cute pictures, and little check-ins from me! I want you to feel just as comfortable with me as your pet does. My goal is to make pet care a fun, positive, and stress-free experience for everyone involved! 🐾 I’m currently a Psychology student at Sacramento State, where I balance school, a part-time job, and extracurricular activities! Although my weekdays are pretty structured, I still have time to fit pet care into my routine. I’m generally available on Mondays and Wednesdays after 5:00 PM, Tuesdays and Thursdays during select breaks or later in the evening, and Fridays after 1:30 PM. My weekends are much more flexible, with availability throughout the day on Saturdays and Sundays! I’m great at managing my time and planning ahead, so I’ll always make sure I have enough time to give your furry friends the attention they deserve! Whether it’s a walk, a drop-in visit, or some quality playtime, I’d love to make pet care part of my week. 🐾 I currently offer pet care exclusively in my client’s home, since I’m unable to host pets in my own home! I know how important it is for pets to feel safe and comfortable, so I do my best to keep them happy in the environment they’re already familiar with. I always make sure to follow each owner’s instructions, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and any special routines their pets may have. I’m also big on keeping things clean, organized, and making sure your home is treated with respect! I love giving pets plenty of attention and affection, but I also understand that every animal has their own personality and boundaries. You can expect regular updates, cute pictures, and check-ins from me so you never have to wonder how your furry friend is doing! My goal is for both you and your pet to feel comfortable, happy, and cared for. 🐾💕
“Ember was an amazing sitter! She was prompt, and even a little bit early on arrival. That meant a lot to me, because promptness is important to me. She was very attentive to the dogs and enjoyed being with them. She sent us pictures every day and updated us in the evening if we hadn’t communicated during the day. She followed all of the guidelines that I had set out, and even went over and beyond. The house was perfectly spotless when we got home and the pups were happy. We will definitely be having Ember back again. I would highly recommend anyone else hiring her for a sit.”
About: I have a dog and three cats of my own, so animals have always been a big part of my life! I grew up surrounded by animals and have always had a strong love for caring for them. I currently attend school online, which gives me a very flexible and open schedule, allowing me to accommodate different needs and be available throughout the day. I also have plenty of pet sitting experience, which has helped me become responsible, patient, dependable, and comfortable caring for animals. When it comes to animals, I have experience with just about everything! I’ve cared for animals ranging from rabbits to horses and everything in between. I’m comfortable with different breeds, sizes, and personalities, and I understand that every animal has its own unique needs and routine. I truly enjoy spending time with animals, whether that means going on walks, playing, providing companionship, feeding, or simply making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I know how important pets are to their families, and I would treat every animal in my care with the same love, attention, and patience that I give my own. My goal is to make sure both you and your pets feel comfortable and confident while they’re in my care! I currently attend school online, which gives me a flexible, open schedule. This allows me to easily fit pet care into my daily and weekly routine. I’m available for drop-in visits, regular check-ins, walks, feeding, and overnight stays. I’m happy to work around your schedule and your pet’s usual routine to make sure they receive plenty of attention, care, and companionship. I am very reliable, responsible, and have my own transportation, so getting to and from visits is never an issue. I understand how important consistency is when caring for pets, and I’m committed to making sure your pets receive the time, attention, and care they deserve! I’ve worked hard to create a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for all of my pets at home. My dog is fully trained both on and off leash, has excellent recall, and has a strong bond of trust with me. My three cats are free to roam throughout the house, and I have gates set up to ensure they always have their own safe spaces when they need them. I believe it's important for every pet to feel comfortable, secure, and have an environment that suits their individual needs. When caring for other people's pets, I am always very proactive, attentive, and cautious. I make sure to be aware of my surroundings, pay close attention to each pet's behavior, and take extra precautions to keep them safe. Whether we're going on walks, spending time outside, or staying inside, I am mindful of potential risks and never take their safety for granted. I understand that every animal has different needs, boundaries, and comfort levels, and I always do my best to provide a safe, calm, and loving environment. Your pet's safety and well-being will always be my top priority!
“Nicole is a natural with animals. Bailey warmed up to her right away. She tended to Bailey's every need (there were quite a few!) When I got home , I was greeted by a happy dog and a house just as I Ieft it. I would highly recommend Nicole. She is a keeper!”
“Miley did a wonderful job watching my 8 year old corgi mix, Loki, overnight. He’s usually very anxious, but warmed up quickly to Miley. I came home to a happy pups! Miley was also responsive and provided updates letting me know how things are going.”
“I entrusted my two pets Lia and Riley to Piper and she simply gave them great care. I have never left them alone this long before and they were not stressed out at all. Piper sent me picks and videos of them while I was on vacation. This was fantastic to see them all getting along. My plane arrived late and I miss my connection. I asked if she could stay a little long and she did. This was a great help. She also cleaned and vacumed the house before she left. Piper is someone you can trust be somfrotable that she will take good care of pets and take of your house as well. From my heart, thank you so much Piper.”
“Christina was great with my pets. She did pet sitting in my house when I was on vacation for a week. She was reliable, great communicator and my pets were comfortable with her. She provided me with daily updates and photos and I felt relieved that my fur babies were doing great while I was away. When I came back, the house was in immaculate condition and the pets were happy. I would definitely recommend her and I will use her services again.”

I have particular experience with German Shepherds, Pitbull mixes, Border Collie, Australian Shepherds, Labradors, and Rottweilers. I have worked with puppies, senior dogs and lots of dogs with behavioral and aggression issues. I have worked with super high energy dogs such as Huskies, Border Collies , and calmer bigger breeds, like Cane Corsos and mastiffs. I am currently a full time college student so my schedule is pretty open because this is my only job(although I don’t really consider it a job I love it) so I can pet sit on weekdays weekends mornings and nights and I am available to do quick drop ins, dog walks , and overnight stays. I cannot board dogs or cats at my own house but I can board reptiles. Since I have several animals of my own, I would be caring for animals in other people’s homes I can do overnight stays,I can do drop ins, I can do dog walks, and I can also drop by and clean litter or anything you really need. I also have lots of experience with different reptiles so reach out to me if you have questions regarding reptile care/boarding.
“Alena took excellent care of Nilla. She gave her lots of exercise and love. She followed care directions and checked in frequently with pictures. My house was very clean when I came home. Alena did a fantastic job and Nilla was very well taken care of.”
“I’m so happy we found Maria! She house sat for us and was super communicative and sent lots of pictures and updates. I felt 100% confident my dogs were in good care. I came back to 2 very happy pups and she even checked in to make sure I got home to the dogs ok. Great experience and will happily be booking with her again!”

About: I personally I’ve owned two cats and a dog and I’ve baby sat dogs for 7 years total and pets make me happy.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Penryn
Bryce stayed at my home with my two dogs and cat for 3 days and I would definitely hire him again if I ever needed in the future. He responds very quickly, sends multiple pictures a day, and is very clear about what he needs to care for everyone while you’re away. He left the house clean and all the pets seemed to really take to him easily. I’ve had a number of different sitters over the years and I would consider him one of my favorites.
Ashely was amazing! She was wonderful with our fur babies and made sure they were loved and cared for while we were away. She followed all of the directions we left in our note, sent lots of pictures of our fur babies, and went above and beyond to walk/care for our pets. I would highly recommend Ashely and will absolutely rebook with her in the future.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Penryn is $72 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $56 and $88 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 Penryn 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 Penryn 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 Penryn 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Penryn. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
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.
