“Erika did amazing job taking care of my 3 dogs. She sat them for 8 am to 3 pm in my house while I was away. She sent me photos and updates of them playing in the yard, getting treats and cuddling on the couch throughout the day. She is very good with instructions and at keeping the house tidy. My dogs adore her. Thank you Erika!!”

“Elma was fantastic! She was very open and attentive to all of our instructions and concerns. We felt very confident and safe having her look after our house and animals. She kept the house clean and sent photos updates regularly. It felt like we were always up to date on how our little ones were doing. They seemed to really enjoy her company! Highly recommend!”

“Klarissa was absolutely wonderful. She kept in constant contact with us about our fur babies and kept us up to date on weird behaviors the pups may have been displaying. The house was clean and the pups were happy and healthy upon our return! She went above and beyond for our comfort and for our furry family members. We will deff be using her services again!”

“I can’t say enough good things about Emily. From her communication to the way she cared about my dogs, she is just great. Definitely booking again if she is available. Thank you so much for your help Emily”

“I am a repeat client of Melanie's and for good reason! She consistently spoils my German Shepherd...toys, treats, walks...everything a well-loved pup requires :). I never worry about the quality of care my girl is receiving and when I come home the house is clean...a great bonus for a tired traveler :). Melanie is an excellent sitter who provides love, affection and peace of mind for my pet and home. I have recommended her to fronds and coworkers without reservation and give that same recommendation to you...you won't be disappointed! ”
“Air was so great!! Bubba can be aggressive, depending on how you approach him, and he immediately ran up to her and gave her a kiss 🥹 He won’t do a lot of things while I’m gone, but she got him to go outside, potty, fetch, and eat cheese - things he wouldn’t even do for my family off the bat. I appreciated the updates throughout the day, as well as the pictures. This was my first time using Rover, and I’m so glad that I chose Air to watch Bubba while I was visiting for a wedding 🩷 I would ABSOLUTELY rebook if I lived there!!”

About: I’m a dog mom of two chihuahuas, although I love cats as well! I’ve had my first fur baby since I was 11, the other for a little over a year ago. I love taking them on adventures, pampering them, & of course giving them all the love! I can assure you, your fur babies are safe with me. I work weekends to make ends meet for school! I’m currently attending Paul Mitchell The School in Temecula 3 days a week (wed-friday). I am available for pet sitting after school/work as well as my days off (monday & tuesday). I am very attentive & will make sure any needs will be met for your fur baby! I’m very good at following instructions. I look forward to pet sitting for you:)
About: Hello my furry friend lovers!! I have cared for many different kinds of animals in my life, some of which include dogs,cats,birds,mice,rabbits,guinea pigs,fish,snakes,goats,chickens and now pot belly pigs. We love making homemade treats in our house so I am currently taking some pet nutrition classes to safely make special dietary treats. I am comfortable with all ages and sizes. I would be more than happy to meet you before any final decisions are made so that we can discuss everything there is to know about your pet. I have experience with different illnesses and medications from working with a rescue where I adopted my own angel with a neurological disorder. We absolutely adore pets and I can promise you that you and your baby will be treated like family. I am a stay at home wife that is taking pet nutrition and business classes so I could someday open my own pet boutique where everything is homemade. I promise no potty breaks will be missed and your baby gets all the love and cuddles they can handle. 😊 We have dogs, cats and pot belly pigs for your pet to play with in our fenced yard but we also have big crates for separation if needed. Your baby will be allowed on our furniture to sleep and get cuddles unless you say otherwise lol we do love our snuggles.
About: Hello, my name is Matt. I have been around animals my whole life. I love spending time with them and figured this would be a great part time job. I'm a very active person and would get your dog a lot of excercie and attention. I have basic first aid capabilities and comfortable with any situation that might present Itself. Im very flexible and fine with anything from short or long walks to overnigbt stays. I understand communication is essential and will keep you posted on any updates the best I can. I’m respectful of whatever you ask or rules you might have while your dog is in my care. I look forward to working with your dog and providing excellent care and a fun day! I’m currently in grad school studying acupuncture. My schedule is flexible and I’m mainly available on weekends and holidays but also some random days during the week. When I am caring for a pet, my undivided attention is going towards your loved one. I’m very attentive and can recognize a variety of needs your pet may require.
About: Ive always owned dogs throughout my life and love taking care of them. Ive also had many experiences to take care of dogs and cats either to go watch them or house sit for them Im available mostly during the day, I usually dont like to go our near dark, I also am busy Wednesdays as I have therapy and go to the store. I know I will make sure your pets are safe in my hands whenever I am walking them or I am watching them, I usually have protection with me at all times when im alone. Im also a big pet person most animals seem to love me and ive never been bit or attacked by any animals ive been around.
About: An animal and nature lover at heart, I am eager to spend time with dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, or any other pets you may have. I have experience with obedience training, grooming, as well as administering medications and meeting special dietary needs. Personally, I have a wonderful, smart and energetic Border Collie/Aussie mix who loves making new friends. We both enjoy playing fetch and tug, learning new tricks and practicing our commands to earn treats. Please let me know how I can help to keep your non-human family member safe, loved, and entertained! I am self-employed and generally have a very flexible schedule. I do often spend stretches of time out of town (mainly LA and Bay Area), so I appreciate scheduling gigs a bit in advance so I can plan accordingly. No one knows your pet better than you, so I will always defer to your lead as to what your pet needs and prefers. That being said, depending on what level of care you desire for your pet, I am happy and comfortable to take dogs for walks or to dog parks, play fetch or hide and seek, practice commands, and give all the belly rubs that they can stand. If you prefer they sleep in a crate, we can definitely manage that; or if they are like my pup and want to use me as a body pillow at night, I would be more that happy to oblige! Just let me know what you are comfortable with! If needed, I am also open to hosting pets at my home (with fenced in yard).

“Aileen was so good with my dogs. She sent lots of update photos and kept in touch. My dogs are on the shy side but they warmed up to her very fast. She is so sweet and my dogs loved her will definitely be booking whenever they need a sitter!”

“Lynette was wonderful with my fur babies. Because my doggies are older and require extensive care, I am very nervous about leaving them. Lynette made me feel comfortable. She tended to their needs and provided the extra care they needed. She is also extremely reliable, which is hard to find. I appreciate her so much!”

About: More than just pet care — Because Every Dog Deserves a Little Extra Love, Comfort & Care!!!♥️🐾 Animals have always had a special place in my heart. My friends, family, and even people who don’t know me well often tell me, “You’re such an animal whisperer!” because they notice how naturally animals trust me and feel comfortable around me. I’ve always believed that pets are more than just animals — they are family, and they deserve to feel loved, safe, and cared for even when their humans are away. As a lifelong dog owner with over 19 years of experience caring for my own dogs, I understand the trust it takes to leave your furry family member with someone else. I will care for your pet with the same love, patience, and attention I would want someone to give my own. My goal is for your pup to feel happy, comfortable, and loved while you’re away — and for you to have peace of mind knowing they’re in caring hands. I recently graduated from dental school and am currently waiting for my official license to arrive before starting work. Because of this, I have a lot of free time right now and would love to spend it caring for dogs, one of my absolute favorite and most loving creatures! My schedule is very flexible throughout the week. As a recent dental graduate, I bring a high level of responsibility, care, and attention to detail when looking after pets. I provide a safe, clean, and loving environment for your dogs, ensuring they get plenty of attention, affection, and proper care while in my supervision.
“Renea has been taking care of B & S couple of times now. We can’t thank her enough for looking after the girls with so much attention to details. She understands I need over communication and sends me updates and photos of the girls during their walks or when their just hanging out at home. Thanks Renea! Looking forward to seeing you soon!”

“Parker was great with our pups for a nearly 3 week house sitting stay. He was very responsive and took wonderful care of all 3 of our huskies! Huskies can be very demanding on attention and care and Parker handled it with ease - not to mention walking 3 huskies twice a day is no easy task! The pups all took to him right away when we did our meet and greet and we felt very comfortable with having him stay in our home so we could enjoy our vacation without worry. He was very communicative and took great care of the house. He went above and beyond with helping keep the place clean and watering our plants outside! We feel we can take more trips now without worry as we have a great sitter available and knows our pups through and through. We highly recommend Parker as a dog sitter who will take wonderful care of your furry loved ones and of course your home.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Rimforest on Rover is $78.26 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 1,649 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Rimforest. 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 Rimforest 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 Rimforest 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 Rimforest 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 Rimforest. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
