“We just moved to Grand Junction, so finding a new sitter is always a little nerve-racking. Karen is amazing. About five days before our trip, our dog came into heat and she handled it like a pro. Our cat is a bit mischievous, and she also took that in stride with lots of laughs. I will most definitely rebook her for any travel I have to do at anytime I need a dog Walker as she is so wonderful with my animals.”
“Jess was great! She came and did a meet and greet prior to staying with my girls. She sent me photos of them all, she even took care of my little piper when she was sick from eating something she should not have ate! 10/10 recommend”
“This is the second time we’ve used Erin as a sitter for our pup. Erin treated our boy so well while we were gone. He came back to us looking happy, groomed and loved on. We appreciated how easy it was to work with her and confident we can trust her in the future.”
“Aubrey is phenomenal and so kind. She responded to our vacation problems when our pup couldn’t calm down in our VrBO - she worked with me to figure out the best path for our dog and then showed her so much love. THANK YOU AUBREY!”
“Misty was so caring and patient with our kids... especially one in particular who was all in her feelings over a scary ceiling fan and the general disruption of the parents being away. We know it was a lot to accomodate such a nervous pup but she did it with such grace it really put our minds at ease to know she was with them. We came back to a very clean house and well cared for pets. We would not hesitate to reach out to her again to take care of our crew and neither should you!”
“We are so happy that we came across Lainya on Rover! We recently moved to the area and needed a weekend away to ourselves. It was on shorter notice but we took the gamble that we would find someone that would be comfortable with our pups. We couldnt be happier with Lainya. When we arrived home our dogs were in good spirits and we knew that she took good care of them and that gave us great comfort. She was very communicative, shared pictures, and updated us with the day. With anything out of the ordinary she let me know and we appreciated that. We have an older dog and they can be a bit high maintenance due to aging circumstances and she handled that great! She was respectful of our home and took great care of our dogs! We would feel comfortable recommending her to anyone 🙂.”
“My puppy is very shy and has some silly habits So I was a little nervous about leaving her but Robin was very sweet about everything and read my notes and when I came home after a few days Vienna was curled up in her lap And completely content. In fact after greeting me she kept going back to Robin for more kisses. Robin is wonderful!!”
About: I grew up with horses, dogs, cats, and even goats and cows at different times. I have always "had a way" with animals and even have an associate's degree in equine management. I am retired with a flexible schedule, and care for my 87-year-old mom, my husband (as needed, ha!), and a friendly, spoiled beagle. I love to hike in the local area and would be glad to take your dog on walks in the desert or on the many paved trails nearby. We have a fenced yard and a dog door that can accommodate up to a medium-sized dog. Our dog (Tucker) is part of our family, and your dog would be treated the same way. I am retired and have a very flexible schedule. I have a garden and care for my elderly mom, but your pet can tag along for those activities, or stay crated in our house, depending on the pet parent preferences. I have a fenced yard and a friendly beagle to keep your fur baby company. I am home all day, so will be here to let them in and out for potty breaks. If pet-sitting in someone's home, I would not bring my dog along (unless requested).
“Ariel is thoughtful, she took the time to ask great questions about Molly to understand her care needs. I was able to feel safe leaving Molly in good hands. I trusted Ariel in my home. She played with Molly and made sure she was entertained. Ariel was awesome to send me picture updates to let me know things were going well. Grateful!”
About: Mom and daughter dog-loving team! We have years of experience caring for dogs-large and small. We will give your pets all the love and care they need while you are away. Working from home means we can care for your pet throughout the day. My 14 year old daughter and 12 year old son love to help care for animals and will give your pet extra attention, walks, and playtime. We can provide playtime, walks, medical care, food and water refills, or just potty breaks while you are away! We will gladly follow all guidelines you give and provide consistent training/commands that you request.
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life! I most recently had two dogs, a chihuahua and rotty mix. One big and one small dog! I currently live in a tiny apartment, so I try to find ways to get my dog fix in. I regularly volunteer to walk dogs at local shelters here in Grand Junction. I have experience with small and large dogs of all age ranges. I’m punctual with my schedules and can be relied on to make timely visits or give medications/food. I’m also comfortable house sitting your home and keeping up on all your chores/needs while you are away! I work seasonally for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, so in my off season I have lots of extra time to take care of pups I have a gentle demeanor when meeting/walking new to me dogs. I can adjust my care to suit whatever needs your dog may have
“Deannica was great. We booked her for a full week for our two dogs. She texted every day with updates and left our house cleaner than it was when we left. We will for sure be using her in the future.”
“Eleshia was great! She took great care of my two dogs, and kitty. She sent pictures everyday and kept me posted on how they were. Left my home very clean. I will use her again.”
About: I've been taking care of pets for most of my life. I worked at a doggie daycare & boarding business for a couple of years. I'm now going out on my own and would love to take care of your fur babies while you're out. I've been around all breeds and sizes and understand their many different traits and personalities. I love playtime and walking. It is as much fun for me as it is for them. I've administered meds and worked specifically with dogs that needed specialized medical attention. Communication is important to me, as it is to you, so please let me know what you expect. No detail is too small. I can provide updates and photos if you request it; otherwise, I will not take up any of your time while you're away unless a concern arises. I love snuggles and look forward to making your fur babies feel as comfortable and happy as possible. Taking care of animals is just part of my everyday life! I have two dogs of my own, so I’m used to walks, playtime, feeding, and keeping a good routine. I love being around animals and easily fit pet care into my day. I try to keep things as close to the pet’s normal routine as possible. I follow instructions carefully, give lots of love and attention, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I also send updates so owners know their pets are doing great!
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 10, I have watched all sorts of dogs, from family to friends to coworkers, and neighbors even:) I’m currently working for a second job but I always make sure that my animal care come first, I try to reason with my clients if change happens.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Redlands
Erin recently housesat for us on several occasions and did an excellent job! We have a dog and two cats and she took such great care of them. She took our dog Archie on his daily walks and threw the ball to him. She was very reliable and the house looked great when we came home. We will definitely contact her again in the future when we need her help!
This was the first time we used Jack for our Rottweiler and cat. He stayed in our home. Our pets were very happy when we returned - it was obvious that they had been lovingly cared for. The home was left spotless! We received updated & pictures throughout the stay. Will definitely use him again!
Annie did an absolutely fantastic job watching our 2 kitties and home while we were away. She was respectful of the instructions we provided, and took wonderful care, staying in close communication, and sending updates for our peace of mind. I highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs!

FAQs for House Sitting - Redlands
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Redlands on Rover is $37.74 per night (as of June 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 June 2026, there are 169 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Redlands. 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 Redlands 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 Redlands 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 Redlands 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.

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.
