“Karen was great and came and stayed at my house with my two miniature dachshunds who are very emotionally needy! She spent some good quality time with them and I really appreciated that. Took care of things in the house so that I didn’t have to worry about anything. Would definitely use her again!”
“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”
“Vivian was the perfect match for our dogs/fish sitting needs! We've been looking for quite some time to find someone that we felt comfortable with! And our Leila loved her! We'll definitely be asking her back!”
“Robin was amazing! She stayed at our house while we were away visiting family and we got lots of updates. If I reached out she was quick to reply and I'm very thankful for her help. Definitely would have her watch them again.”
About: Hello! My name is Jacob and I’ve been surrounded by animals of all kinds for my whole life, and have always loved their company. I will strive to provide the best possible care for your pets and treat them as if they were my own. I’m here for their needs, whether it’s to wear out a young active pup or take a casual stroll around the block letting your senior dog stop as they need to. I’ve always had a lot of flexibility in my schedule and have enjoyed pet sitting as a side job for many years. I’m currently working part time in the early mornings so I have tons of time during the day to help care for your pets. If you need me to stay with your pets I’m usually only gone for a 3.5 hour shift so they won’t be left alone for very long! I will have your pets safety and comfort always in mind and make sure they have what they need to stay happy until you return.
“Eleshia was absolutely wonderful. She did everything we asked her to do and then some. She sent pictures. Her Communication skills were awesome. Would highly recommend her to watch your dog.”
“The second time Erin took care of our little Chihuahua. He was well taken care of! She was communicative and once again wonderful to work with. Will definitely be requesting her again if she is available!”
“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: I’ve been an animal lover all my life. I’ve been providing personal pet care for the past two years. I get along with dogs of all ages and breeds. I can keep up with any energy level your fur baby has. I currently only have my schedule on Rover filling my time so I have plenty of time to take care of your pets needs and give them the playtime and/or walks they need daily. I will follow and maintain daily medication and feeding schedules of any complexity. I will follow all instructions given to ensure your furry friend gets the care they need. I just need to know what they can and can’t do and will make sure they are on their best behavior while I care for them.
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.
“My pitty is very high energy and tends to scare people without understanding why. Lainya just rolled with her energy and took perfect care of her while we were gone. I'm so greatful to her, we will absolutely be booking her again”
“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!”
About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was 12, growing up in Mississippi with all kinds of dogs! I grew up on a farm. I've cared for many dogs ranging from puppy to senior. My last senior dog was back in 2022, the love of my life. His name was Oreo, he was around 14 when he passed. He was a rescue from our local humane society. He required multiple different medications due to his age. My current dog, she is 8 months old. I have trained her basic commands such as Sit, Stay, Speak, Jump, Spin and a few more. I work full-time as a Respiratory Therapist, so I kindly ask for a few days’ notice when booking but when I’m off, your fur baby is my top priority! I have a 8 month old standard poodle at home, her name is Cherry. She is a very sweet and playful dog! She loves to play with others and is very well behaved. If you decided to stay here at my house, I do ask for a meet up to just insure safety between our pups! If I come to your home, I will not bring Cherry with me, unless you ask.
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!
“Laura cared for our two dogs, and if I could give more than five stars, I would. From the moment we met, I knew our home and pets were in excellent hands. She went above and beyond, providing exceptional care, and thoughtful attention that gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. It is clear that Laura genuinely cares about the pets and homes she looks after, treating them with the same care and respect she would her own. Reliable, trustworthy, kind, and highly professional, Laura exceeded every expectation. In addition to caring for our dogs, Laura also fed the fish and watered our plants and flowers. I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone seeking a pet and house sitter, and we have already booked her again!”
About: Im 18 years old and I’ve never lived without a dog in my house! I have a large yard with some cats and a dog in house! I currently don’t have a job so I can be as attentive as needed! I wake up pretty early so walks and potty breaks are no biggie! I have 1 cat and 1 dog who are both super duper friendly! I also have an entirely fenced yard that is decently big! I also live in a nice neighborhood that is great for walks.
“Stacy is amazing - she kept our pups happy and in their routine while we were away & continually provided us with regular picture and text updates! Her dog is a sweetheart and she did a wonderful job of caring for our home. We are so glad to have found Stacy for this trip and for future travels!”

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 July 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 July 2026, there are 179 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.
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.
