About: I've fed, cleaned after, bathed, played with, and loved a lot of dogs as well as horses, cats, and fish. It's a privilege to help. I'm a creative freelancer working on several projects, so I set my own schedule and am very flexible! I usually fit my other responsibilities around being available for pet care at a moment's notice, whether it's a walk during some down time or dedicating the time to doing a sitting. I always make sure pets are safe, comfortable, happy, and feel loved and taken care of. I also value respecting your home and your privacy.

“After several failed attempts of boarding my reactive dog, Mrs. Erika came to my rescue. I spent a week in Atlanta and Erika took amazing care of my pup Champ. She sent me pictures each day and made sure I felt comfortable and trustful of her. I have absolutely no complaints. She has been a life saver for me. She was patient, understanding, and flexible to my pups needs. I look forward to my next trip now that I no longer have anxiety about finding the perfect sitter. I recommend Mrs. Erika for anyone needing an in house sitter for their reactive dog. Also, my place was spotless when I arrived back home. 10/10!”

“Taylor was a pleasure to work with! She was very communicative and kept us updated with our pet's needs. Letting us know if they were eating properly and how they were doing on their walks. Taylor was great with our dogs and sent wonderful pictures. She was very flexible when our dog had to have eyedrops given last minute right before we left. Her positive attitude and dedication gave us peace of mind while we were gone on vacation for a week. We knew our dogs were getting well cared for and wouldn't hesitate to use her again! We highly recommend her!”

About: Dedicated pet professional with 6 years of experience. Highly skilled in safe medication administration, advanced canine care, and handling dogs of all sizes and breeds. Expert knowledge of brachycephalic health needs, backed by a decade of personal ownership of a Pug. Reliable, attentive, and trusted through years of diverse pet-sitting and walking experience. Working remotely from a fenced house allows me to balance professional focus with a peaceful home environment, enjoying the private outdoor space throughout the workday. Living in a fenced house has made me deeply vigilant. I always double-check gates, secure latches immediately, and watch for sliding doors to ensure zero escape risks.

About: Hi🐾 my name is Beray, i am 22 years old veterinary technician and a 1st year veterinary medicine student! In my free time i like to read (or study), watch movies, swim and cuddle with dogs❤️ I was taking care of dogs and cats just as a hobby only for people i knew, but decided i can help more pet owners and make their furry babies happy!! I have experiences with puppies and senior care. You will be receiving really nice photos of your pups🐶 I am at home 24/7 if needed (feel free to ask I don’t even leave for 5 minutes) no problem with that, home is fun with a furry baby we can play fetch, cuddle, watch movies!!! I know that all doggies need different care. For puppies, i am very good at potty training and obedience training. I also have first aid training🤍 Please read the following before booking either of these services: Day Care means: Between 0-10 hours Boarding means: Between 10-24 hours All of the pets i take care, they are my babies too!! They are all welcome for hugs and most importantly LOVE! For summer period i am free every day and i can start working really early if my client needs. I don’t like to go for walks so late for me and my client’s safety. We have a nice fenced backyard; we mostly play there and hangout i don’t let them out unsupervised. I only walk with leash, sometimes dogs see rabbits or squirrels and chase after them. We don’t want anyone to get hurt or scared 🫶🏻

About: What sets me apart is the combination of real-world experience and professional training. I'm certified in dog behavior modification, so I don't just walk or sit with dogs — I understand their body language, stress signals, and what they need to feel safe and comfortable. My calm, patient, low-key approach makes me especially well-suited for dogs who need extra reassurance, whether that's a nervous rescue, a reactive dog, or a senior dog who needs a gentler pace. I also have specific experience with puppies, including potty training, crate training, basic obedience, and redirecting nipping or overexcited behavior in a positive way. On the other end, I'm comfortable with senior dogs who may have mobility issues, slower routines, or health needs that require a watchful eye and extra patience. Whatever stage of life a dog is in, I adjust my energy and approach to match what they need. Pet care is a core part of my full-time work. I'm a professional dog trainer, and I supplement my schedule with on-demand pet care, so caring for dogs isn't squeezed in around other commitments — it's what I do. Because I'm available full-time, I can offer flexible scheduling for walks, drop-ins, sittings, and overnight stays, and I bring my training background into every visit. That means dogs in my care get more than supervision; they get a calm, knowledgeable presence who can reinforce good habits, manage energy levels, and respond to behavioral needs as they come up. My approach adapts to the service, but calm and consistency are the constants either way. For walks, drop-ins, and sittings in a client's home, I keep things low-key and follow the dog's established routine, feeding schedule, and environment as closely as possible so they stay comfortable in their own space. I'm attentive to their body language throughout and adjust my approach to their individual needs. For boarding, dogs come into my apartment, which I keep calm and quiet to help visiting dogs settle in easily. I also have a senior dog of my own, so I'm mindful of introducing dogs thoughtfully and making sure energy levels and temperaments are a good match before a stay. My training background helps me manage that transition smoothly, reinforce good habits during their time with me, and keep things structured and low-stress for every dog in the home.

About: Hello : ) I am a stay at home parent (with school aged children) looking to help provide trusted pet care. I have a great deal of experience caring for animals. I grew up raising baby birds and caring for many a variety of animals (including many different breeds of cats and dogs). In addition to my own, I was hired to watch other family's animals, starting around age 8 (alongside my mom) and then independently around age 11. I love how different animal's personalities can be and think they bring so much joy to our busy lives! I understand how challenging it can be with busy lives/careers, to find trusted pet care. Now that my kiddos are in school, I have some flexibility and would love to help provide others with kind and reliable pet care during busy work weeks. I am looking forward to meeting and caring for your little buddies! : ) I am a stay at home parent so AM - afternoon is very flexible. Depending on requests I can make time later afternoons and evenings and weekends as well but primarily very flexible from 7-2pm I will come to your home and offer a kind hello, playtime and walk and make sure any other details you ask for are attended to.

About: I have a very flexible schedule so am able to accomodate your specific needs! I grew up with pets my whole life including a Yorkie, German Shepard, and a few cats. I trained the dogs myself and they know intermediate commands and are well behaved. My yorkie is older now, but I grew up dog sitting for family and have experience with older dogs. Both are my dogs are female and I experienced them through "heat" before they were spayed. My cat also had kittens and we kepts a couple so I have experience with cats all ages. I am accustomed to all breeds of all ages! I have a remote job with a very flexible schedule. I am also active and frequently go on walks by the parks and nature trails near me. A pet fits right into my life! The only reason I do not have a pet now is because I recently moved to California and want to get adjusted before taking on the full responsibility. I have a spacious, clean apartment and am able to accommodate for individual pets needs. I have a park I can easily take for walks. For others homes I will follow your instructions! How to care for you pet and if sitting any specific instructions!

“Carlos took wonderful care of our 8 year old dog and our new puppy on very short notice, and we couldn’t have been more grateful. From the start, he was incredibly thoughtful, asking detailed follow up questions to really understand each dog’s specific routines, preferences, and needs. It was clear he genuinely cared about providing the best possible care. He stayed in our home during the booking and was very respectful of the space, leaving everything clean and well cared for. What stood out most was his availability and attentiveness, especially with such a young puppy who requires constant supervision and structure. Knowing our dogs were getting so much time, attention, and care in their own home gave us real peace of mind. We would absolutely book with Carlos again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and compassionate sitter.”

Sam was amazing! Her communication is quick and clear. She is warm, friendly and smart. We left her with our year old dog (who can be quite high maintenance, and our senior cat while we were out of town, and Sam gave frequent updates and photos. If she had questions, they were always of a nature that let me know she was mature, and taking good care of our pets as well as our house. Everything was clean when we returned and our pets were happy! Highly recommend Sam🙏

Nicola stayed at our house and watched our dogs for a week while we were on vacation. Nicola was fantastic with our dogs and took very good care of our home. Nicola was very communicative all week, sending great pictures of the dogs and the house. Nicola was a pleasure to work with, and we would definitely hire Nicola to help with our dogs in the future. We would highly recommend hiring Nicola for any dog/house sitting or dog walking jobs.

I could not have asked for a better dog and house sitter. I met Geena and explained what I wanted done with my dogs while I was away for 3 weeks; thier feeding times, walk schedule, sleeping arrangements, etc. I was relived that she was mature, responsibe, and trustworthy. She updated me daily with texts and photos of my (2) dogs whom I missed terribly. She brought in mail and kept the house nice and tidy and controlled the A/C. I was able to travel without worrying as I knew Geena was giving love and attention to my little ones. Without reservation I would hire Geena again !!!

We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for Diesel while we were out of town for two weeks! Sanaz was absolutely amazing with him. She didn’t just take wonderful care of him, she spent time training him, gave him so much love and attention, and kept us updated with tons of photos and videos, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. Most importantly, we completely trusted her with Diesel and our home. She was reliable, caring, attentive, and clearly formed a real bond with him. In fact, I truly believe Diesel misses her! Since we’ve been home, he honestly seems a little heartbroken that his new best friend isn’t coming over anymore. That alone tells me how loved and well cared for he was while we were gone. I would absolutely recommend Sanaz to anyone looking for someone trustworthy who will treat their dog like her own. We will definitely be calling her again! ❤️

FAQs for House Sitting - Reseda

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Reseda on Rover is $77 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $39 and $181 per night. 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.

As of October 2026, there are 12,071 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Reseda. 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 Reseda 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 Reseda 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.

<b>Tip:</b> 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 Reseda 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 , 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 .

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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.

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.
