“Leigh was the absolute best! She followed our instructions to the T, sent numerous updates and pictures, and even let our furbabies sleep with her. I can't say enough great things about her. Can't wait to have her back next time.”
“Belinda is AMAZING. I had some many neighbors text me while I was gone saying they loved her and she was taking such good care of my pup. She took him for all the walks and play dates at our community dog park with his friends. She will also send you amazing pics of your fur baby! I can’t recommend Belinda enough! 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
About: Owning cats and dogs all throughout my life really shaped who I am as a person and I want to make sure that you get to relax when you’re away, knowing that your sitter is doing everything possible to make sure you’re pet is safe and happy. I feel competent in taking care of dogs and cats with disabilities, are old, or need special instructions. I graduated high school a few months ago and have decided to take a gap year to figure out what major I would like to pursue. Currently I have no part time or full time jobs so my schedule is super flexible. I will follow any and all instructions you set, I understand how tedious some animals care can be and I promise to follow every step with caution as to make your animal feel safe and happy during the sitting.
“Paris was great with all our pets. She sent photos and regular updates so we didn’t worry. She also let us know when she completed tasks that we asked her to do (mail, trash, pay the gardener). We will definitely use her services again!”
“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!”
“Terra did an amazing job with communicating and providing the necessary care to our pets and home, while we were in vacation. She truly showed professionlism in asking the necessary questions. I'm sure our pets loved her based on all the GREAT photos she sent. Plus our house was exactly like we left it! We will definitely use her again!! Thanks Terra!”
“I had to book last minute and Raquel was prompt in getting back to me. She is a dog lover and it shows. Thank you for caring for my Wilson and his friend Shadow!! Definitely will be booking for some dates in December!! 🤗”
“Jenilee is an animal person and people person! I had another sitter booked and she canceled on me so I had reached out to Jenilee pretty last minute. I was so happy she was available. She took great care of my blind senior dog Wilson; they hung out, went outside. Had snack and took a nap. He had an awesome day. Thank you can’t wait to use your services again.”
About: I am a lifelong animal lover with six years of experience. I volunteered at the SPCA of Monterey County for 124 hours and currently work at a local Animal Center in San Diego. I am comfortable with dogs of all breeds, ages, sizes, and energy levels. I treat every pup like my own family, ensuring that they get plenty of love, exercise, and attention while you are away. I currently work at an animal shelter/center. I work 8 hour shifts 4 days of the week (days vary). The other days I spend taking dog & house sitting jobs or babysitting jobs. During the days I am at the animal shelter I leave the house at 10am and return at 7pm. On days I am not at the shelter I stay at the house with your pup and the maximum time I’d be away is 3 hours a day (unless told otherwise by owner). Dogs will get daily walks, meals, and meds (if needed) as instructed by their owner. I try to include the dogs in my daily activities. For example, choosing to sit with them while I reply to work emails or answer work calls.
“Very communicative. I received daily photos and videos. The pups seemed happy and our youngest found a lap to lay on. Bob played with both dogs and seemed to really start to learn their personalities”
“Marissa is the best!! Our dogs are reactive and territorial and they absolutely loved her from the moment they met her. She is kind, smart, and treated our babies like her own. She not only took perfect care of the dogs but also kept our home in great shape while we were away. She stayed in contact, sent lots of pictures, and updated us constantly about them which we loved. We will definitely continue working with Marissa and highly recommend her!”
“Emily is super nice and got along great with my dogs. She is comfortable watching puppies and can easily follow the quirky routines that your dogs may have. I appreciated the updates and photos while I was away!”
About: I am here to become friends with you and your dog! I want to be able to help with any of your needs and do what’s best for your animals! I would love to tell them to parks or even play fetch in the backyard. I will be able to get them out of the house and get the perfect amount of exercise. I am able to check on your animals at any given tome of the day if you need it. I want to make your lives easier as well as your dogs. I own 5 dogs and all live happy lives and i can do the same for your dogs. I hope to become your dogs new bestfriend! I hope you chose me to help you improve your dogs daily life!
“This is my second time using Noemy, and once again I am more than pleased with her services. I can tell the dogs have a great time with her, and the house is always left in great shape. Would absolutely recommend her and use her again. Thanks again, Noemy!”
“Lily was an amazing house sitter and took such great care of our dog Marley! She sent daily updates with photos and we knew Marley was well exercised with daily walks and given lots of love. We came home to a clean house and a very happy dog. I highly recommend Lily and will definitely hire her again. Thank you Lily!!”
“Great experience. Amanda is so nice and personable. My pugs took to her right away and were well taken care of. She was very communicative and sent pictures of our hooligans while we were away. Will definitely book again in the future.”
“Holly was amazing!! We have a very stubborn dachshund who does not warm up to new people easily and barks a lot when meeting someone new. Leaving her for the first time for a lengthy international trip, I was pretty anxious, but holly made me feel completely relieved! She got our pup to warm up to her in no time and kept us updated with the cutest pics. She was also a very tidy house guest leaving our place cleaner than we left it. Would definitely book holly again and highly recommend her.”

Jenilee is an animal person and people person! I had another sitter booked and she canceled on me so I had reached out to Jenilee pretty last minute. I was so happy she was available.

Emma was outstanding in every way and an absolute lifesaver. I made a last-minute booking, and she not only accepted but graciously made time for a meet-and-greet! She's a true professional, and her expertise with animals was apparent. She immediately put my dog at ease, recognizing his body language and maintaining a calm, steady demeanor. My dog has severe separation anxiety and other behavioral issues, yet he was clearly well cared for, and he was sleeping like a baby when we returned. I highly recommend her for any animal care.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Ramona on Rover is $46.06 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 6,734 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Ramona. 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 Ramona 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 Ramona 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 Ramona 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 Ramona. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
