“We couldn't ask for a better pet sitter. Doris treated our pets like her own, showering them with attention and cuddles, and sending us ample pictures! We had total peace of mind the entire time we were away. Thank you!!”

“Emily was AMAZING with my 3 pets. We have two huge dogs (mastiffs) and a skittish cat and she handled taking care of them perfectly. Our cat runs away and hisses at any strangers, but she warmed right up to Emily. My dogs also love her since she gave them so much affection and attention. She kept us updated throughout our trip, and she also cleaned our house and left it looking better than before we left for our trip. Emily rocks!”

“I couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter! Madison was amazing and so easy to work with. She took care of my two cats and dog over the weekend, and I felt completely at ease knowing they were in great hands. She sent me lots of pictures throughout the weekend, which was so reassuring. It really helped put my mind at ease while I was away. I’ll definitely be booking with her again in the future”

“Nick went above and beyond to take care of our babies! He left the house clean and the pups happy, what more can we ask for! He also included some high quality photos of the boys, very professional! We will absolutely be having him back to watch them next time we leave town.”

About: Since I was a tiny child I have lived with and cared for animals. I grew up in a rural area and have had dogs, cats, rabbits, chickens, horses, a donkey, lizards, pet rats, mice and hamsters. I have had cats live to be as old as 21, cared for senior dogs and horses as well as all of the other beloved animal members of my family. I have administered insulin for four years to my senior cat who is diabetic. I recently moved to Fallbrook and left my corporate job so I can enjoy my life and do the things I love. One of my greatest joys is being around and caring for animals. I am dependable, caring, kind and hardworking. I would love to meet you and your fur babies. I promise to treat them with nothing but love and kindness. I have retired from my corporate job and am free to care for your pets when you need. My schedule is flexible and I can provide early day services and anytime you need Monday through Sunday. I am thorough and tidy in your home and will follow your directions exactly. I will provide photos and check in notes to keep you constantly updated about your pet or pets.
“Marisa stayed with our 2 dogs for a long weekend. She sent many pictures and videos along with updates throughout. It’s always nice to feel like your dogs are being loved and cared for while away and I definitely felt that way with Marisa. One of the best sitters we’ve had on Rover. Would definitely book again.”

“Amanda is the best dog sitter one can imagine. My wife and I took an 11 day trip to Europe at the end of April through the beginning of May. We were fortunate enough to book Amanda to take care of our precious little ones during that long stint away from them. We had used her last summer for a weekend and she did a wonderful job having communicated with us sent via plenty of text, pics and videos. We knew we had to hire again but of course we were super nervous about being so distant from our babies for so many days however once again, Amanda exceeded our expectations by soothing our hearts with so many updates. We received several text with pics and videos per day and got to see what our little ones were up to. Relief and comfort with the knowledge that they were in safe, caring, and responsible hand allowed us to enjoy our time away from home. Once we returned, it was obvious our little ones truly missed her, especially our youngest one, Remi. We highly recommend using Amannda and would book her again should the need present itself in the future. She did an amazing job!!! THANK YOU AMANDA!!!!!!”

About: If you need to know your loyal companion is getting some extra attention and love, I would like to help you find some comfort with that. I will send you pictures and videos so you can know how our time was spent, and hopefully gain your trust in our new found friendship that helps us get through the long days at work. I’m available most days as I am self employed and fairly flexible! Sundays after 1pm~Monday through Thursday after 9am, with some alternating weekends open due to my schedule of events needed worked. I can usually be flexible with a lot of my day. I have a female Malti~Poo who I watch for my Son while he works and I believe she would enjoy the canine~ship! I could also crate if that’s the most important and appropriate way you would want to have your best bud feel safe and comfortable. I’m open to all of the best ways to help you feel like you are making them happy when you need to be at work or on vacation or just need to having some self care time. Open to suggestions
“We have found our new dog sitters! We were nervous leaving Kevin with a non-family member for the first time. Caleb and Sara completely relieved us of our nervousness with their calm demeanors, excellent communication, and pictures of our boy throughout our trip. My favorite picture was of Kevin sitting on Sara’s lap. That told me all was well. We highly recommend this animal loving team of Caleb and Sara.”


About: I am currently home full-time while homeschooling my youngest child who is now in his teens. We ADORE all animals! Our schedule is extremely flexible, which allows us to work with whatever schedule needs you have. I have a huge heart and could not live without animals in my life. I am very active and look forward to the opportunity to walk, play and love on your pets! For the past 40+ years I have owned, fostered and cared for dogs, cats, bunnies, turtles, horses and more. I recently lost my Great Dane after a decade of getting to love him. He had DCM since he was a puppy so I have extensive knowledge of caring for that, giant breed needs and know how to track and administer many medications. Being a stay at home mom I've often thought about walking and caring for other animals while they're humans are away at work or vacay! I recently discovered Rover and know this is a perfect fit for me! I am very patient and have experience with all areas of pet care from walking to medication dosing and everything in between! I am currently home full-time while homeschooling my youngest child who is now in his teens. Our schedule is extremely flexible, which allows us to work with whatever schedule needs you have. I have a very large, completely fenced in yard with a locked gate. We are taking a break from pet ownership and would love to open our home to care for your animals. I have experience caring for dogs and other household pets of different ages, sizes, and personalities. Whether your pet enjoys playtime, long or shorter walks, cuddles on the couch, or sticking to their usual routine, I’m happy to accommodate their individual needs. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any special care requirements to ensure your pet feels happy and secure.
About: I provide constant communication with pictures to ease your anxiety while your dog is at their second home. I strive to follow your dog’s routine and schedule to allow a smooth and pleasant stay while in my presence. Dogs are free to roam in my home so long as they are great with kids and are potty trained. Available full time as I am a part time student. Will be in your dog’s presence for most of the day. This would be very beneficial for high anxiety dogs who need someone constantly present. In my home there is a gated backyard. It is easily accessible Through a sliding glass doggy door. Great for little explorers! They are welcomed to roam through out my home.
“Meghan was an amazing sitter from the get-go! She was thorough in her questions about how to care for our energetic wire fox terrier, Caspar. She also provided excellent updates and photos while we were away. Meghan went above and beyond, taking our dog to the park, looking after him when he was ill, and provided him with plenty of attention - which demonstrates the highest level of care and commitment! Meghan's the best and we highly recommend her services. We'd work with her again in a heartbeat, and I know our terrier would love that too! Thank you so much Meghan! ❤️”

About: I have always had a passion for dogs since I was a young girl!! I have pet sit for neighbors, family and friends, and also worked for a doggy day care as a playroom attendant for a year! Your pup will mean everything and I mean EVERYTHING to me!! I am currently working part time at the doggy day care, so I have plenty of time to pop in and check on your pup! During the school year I am full time on weekdays, but still have plenty of time to put your pup first! I am not able to keep pups at my home, but at a clients home during pop ins I am able to take the pup out (on leash for a walk or free range in a backyard if able!), snuggle your pup for as long as needed, and of course feed and give medications! Caring for your pup will always be my top priority :)

“Sally made the whole Rover experience easy and knowing someone would be in to check on Puzzles while I was out of town made me feel less guilty about leaving. Plus getting updates about the visit was as well!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 3,673 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Rainbow. 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 Rainbow 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 Rainbow 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 Rainbow 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Rainbow. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
