About: Dogs have been a particularly big part of my life. I grew up with a Chihuahua who had multiple litters, and I helped care for approximately four litters of puppies, including feeding, monitoring, and caring for them as they grew. I’ve also puppy sat a German Shepherd, Pit Bull mix, and Doberman puppy, which gave me experience handling young, energetic dogs that require confidence, patience, and plenty of attention. I’ve also had the experience of caring for a dog through her senior years. As my dog grew older, I became more attentive to her changing needs and learned the importance of providing extra patience, comfort, supervision, and gentle care for an aging pet. I have some experience with cats as well. While dogs have been my primary experience, I’m comfortable caring for cats too and have experience handling and bathing them. I understand that cats have their own personalities and boundaries, and I’m happy to give them time to feel comfortable and safe around me. Whether I’m caring for a playful puppy, an energetic adult dog, or a senior pet who needs a little extra patience, I want every animal in my care to feel safe, loved, comfortable, and well cared for. I am also currently taking dog training classes to become a dog trainer. I’m available starting Friday afternoon and all day on weekends for onboarding sitting. Weekdays: Available for morning walks Available for morning and evening check ins Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and respect while following their normal routines as closely as possible. Before caring for a pet, I make sure I understand their feeding schedule, exercise needs, personality, medications if applicable, and any special instructions. In my client’s home, I’m attentive to potential hazards and make sure pets are supervised and kept in a safe environment. I also understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to build trust and let them become comfortable with me at their own pace. I’m happy to send regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. 🐾💕

“Felipe did a fantastic job taking care of our puppy, Bambino. From the moment he arrived, it was clear that he genuinely cared about Bambino’s well-being and comfort. He kept us informed throughout the entire stay, provided regular updates, and sent plenty of pictures, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Bambino was happy, well cared for, and received lots of attention. Felipe was professional, reliable, and very attentive to our puppy’s needs. We truly appreciated his communication and the care he provided. I highly recommend Felipe to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. We will definitely be reaching out to him again for future bookings. Thank you, Felipe, for taking such great care of Bambino! 🐾🐶 5/5 Stars. Highly Recommended.”

“I couldn’t be happier with the care Krystal provided for my home and my pets. She came over twice before I left town to meet the pets and talk through everything, and she made sure I felt comfortable and safe leaving my pets in her care. It’s always a bit anxiety inducing to leave your babes with someone you don’t know, but Krystal kept me updated with sweet photos and texts about the dogs and cats the entire time. She also left the home in perfectly clean condition. I will absolutely reach out to her in the future whenever I need an overnight sitter.”

Now I’m excited to offer that same care to your furry family member! I’m available full-time, including weekdays, weekends, and holidays — with flexible hours to fit your schedule.

I also have a friendly 5-month-old kitten who loves to socialize and can be great company for pets who enjoy a playful companion. For fresh air and outdoor time, I have a large, fully fenced backyard with beautiful green grass, flowers, and plants — perfect for safe, supervised exploration and relaxation. You can trust that your pet will be in a loving, attentive, and enriching environment where their needs come first, whether they’re staying for a short visit or a longer stay.

About: I have extensive experience in pet care, having worked with a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, small animals, and birds. I am well-versed in maintaining feeding routines, providing exercise, and administering medications as needed. I understand pet behavior and can offer companionship and attention to help reduce separation anxiety, making sure each pet feels comfortable and secure while their owner is away. Health and safety are always my top priorities; I monitor each animal for signs of illness or distress and am prepared to respond quickly in case of an emergency. I adapt my approach to meet the unique personalities and needs of each pet, ensuring they stay happy and comfortable in their familiar surroundings. I also have experience caring for elderly pets and those with special dietary or medical requirements, offering personalized care to keep them safe and content. Pet care is a natural part of my daily and weekly routine. I incorporate regular visits, feedings, playtimes, and check-ins with the pets I care for, organizing my schedule to ensure they receive consistent and reliable attention. Each day, I set aside dedicated time for feeding routines, exercise, and companionship based on each pet’s unique needs. Throughout the week, I also plan for any special requirements like grooming, administering medications, or spending extra time with pets who may need more care or reassurance. This routine allows me to balance pet care with my other responsibilities while ensuring every pet I care for gets the attention, love, and stability they need, making them feel comfortable and happy even while their owners are away. When caring for pets in my home, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and welcoming environment tailored to each animal’s needs. I start by setting up a designated space where they can feel secure, with their bedding, toys, and any personal items that make them feel at ease. I maintain a regular routine for feeding, exercise, and bathroom breaks, which helps them feel settled and reduces any stress they may have from being in a new place. For cats and small pets, I ensure they have cozy, quiet areas for rest and enrichment activities like scratching posts, toys, and safe climbing spaces. For dogs, I incorporate plenty of outdoor time, walks, and play sessions in my fenced yard or on local trails, giving them both exercise and stimulation. I’m attentive to each pet’s health and well-being, observing for any signs of discomfort or stress and providing comfort and care to help them relax. My home is pet-proofed for safety, and I keep a close watch to ensure they stay safe, happy, and feel as much “at home” as possible.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs my whole life. I can help your puppy be the best version of themselves; I can take great care of your senior dog too. I’m a pro At popping pills in their mouth or giving supplements to any kind of oral medication. I’m currently a stay at home dog auntie so if you need me I’ll be there. Me and Louise go for coffee and other short walks throughout the day, so it will be nice to have someone to take along for the ride or for Louise to play with. I have a fenced yard and two extra crates under our covered patio so there’s that. I can also run your fur child for a coffee/potty break if that’s what they need. Whatever they or you need I’m there. Currently I’m not working so I provide a constant care environment for your pets. It is always a pleasure for us (Louise and I) to have a new pup over. I have a fully fenced backyard and I love to have your pups over. I hang out under the covered patio all day with them. That’s what my house is like. Especially because we have an unfenced pool and it’s only happened once but it did happen; one pup fell in and had to be rescued, I jumped in and got him out. No big deal.

“This was the second time Juri watched Finn for me, and I couldn’t be happier with her care. She kept me updated throughout her stay with messages and pictures, which gave me peace of mind. Finn can be a bit anxious when I’m away, but Juri’s calm and attentive approach really helped him feel comfortable and cared for.”

About: I’ve grown up surrounded by animals my whole life, from dogs to lizards and fish! Having pets of my own has taught me how important it is to give each animal the love, patience, and attention they deserve. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playing, cleaning up, and keeping pets on their normal routines. What sets me apart is that I genuinely love spending time with animals and treat every pet like they’re my own. I understand that every animal has a different personality and needs, so I always make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for! I’m currently a college student at UC Riverside, and I’m looking to spend my free time doing something I genuinely enjoy, taking care of animals! My class schedule gives me flexibility throughout the week, and I’m happy to work around my classes to make time for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. Spending time with animals has always been something I love, so being able to incorporate pet care into my daily routine is something I’m really excited about! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities! I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, so I make sure to treat every animal like they’re my own. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always respect their space, follow their instructions, and stick to their pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I make sure pets have fresh water, are fed on time, get plenty of attention, and feel safe and comfortable. I’m also happy to send pictures and updates throughout the day so you can feel at ease knowing your furry friend is in good hands!

“I couldn’t recommend Suzie more highly for both dog sitting and house sitting! She is so sweet and thoughtful, and having her care for our dogs and home was such a relief. Suzie was a fantastic communicator, followed our instructions, and was punctual and reliable. We especially appreciated how much time she spent with our dogs. When she went out, she was back within a couple of hours, so they weren’t left on their own for long stretches. She also sent photos every morning and evening, which did so much to ease our anxiety and help us enjoy our time away. She was incredibly patient with our dogs’ early wake-up calls—even our older dog’s very insistent approach to getting her attention—and took it all in stride. She also left our home just as clean as we’d left it, right down to washing the containers we’d used to portion out the dogs’ food! Those thoughtful little touches really stood out. Above all, Suzie is someone you can trust. You can tell she really cares about doing a great job and, most of all, about the dogs themselves. She was an absolute joy to work with, and we would happily book her again!”

About: From larger dogs to lizards, guinea pigs, and cats, every animal best friend deserves to be treated like family. I have spent many years volunteering at shelters and animal rescues, dog walking, and pet sitting for family and friends. I understand firsthand what it takes to care for animals with specialized diets and daily medication needs. My own cats require a bit more as they enter their senior years, so i understand how much patience it can take. That said, I know how important it is to maintain a routine, especially when your animal best friend misses you. I work a full-time remote job for a wildlife conservation nonprofit, which gives me the flexibility to stay with your best friend all day if you're interested. I'm happy to go above and beyond for your best friend, whether you're taking on family responsibilities, taking that much-needed vacation, or just need someone to stop by while you're away for a long day. I can't wait to connect with you and meet your pet best friend. I work a full-time remote job with a wildlife conservation non-profit. That said, my daily schedule is fairly flexible and can even include staying with your pet during the workday to keep them company. Weekends are also fairly flexible, although I try to make the most of my time with family and friends. So, I likely won't be able to spend the entire day with your pet as I would be during the weekdays, but I will still spend quality time with them when requested, especially if requested far enough in advance that I can schedule it into my weekends and around family. I make environmental safety a priority. I follow all precautions and safety guidelines you requested and avoid anything that could create a hazard or unsafe situation for your pet. I am familiar with cat CPR and the steps to take if you find a cat choking. These precautions also include saving your vet's contact information and finding the nearest emergency vet to remain prepared for any situation. If you request outside time, I will do so only in a secure location to minimize the risk of your furry friend getting lost or injured. My youngest cat (7 years old), has a few hours of supervised time in our fenced yard every morning. She also wears an AirTag collar whenever we aren't home or if she's in our yard, in addition to supervision. I have extra AirTags I can attach to your best friend's collar (or I can bring an extra collar) for additional monitoring while you're away, if you are interested.

Felipe took wonderful care of my 2 dogs and 2 cats. The dogs got in a scuffle a day before we left and we were nervous to leave them with someone new. Felipe put us at ease and did a great job with them! He is a great communicator and sent us helpful updates and pictures/videos. He even walked the dogs separately just to be safe and spent a good chunk of time with them. Our shy cats even befriended him 😊

FAQs for House Sitting - Rialto

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Rialto is $28 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $46 per night. On Rover, 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 November 2026, there are 2,465 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Rialto. 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 Rialto 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 Rialto 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 Rialto 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 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 Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
