“Noemy takes such good care of our animals. Being away, it feels great to know that our dog, cats and guinea pigs are well loved. Our house is cleaner when she leaves too! Thank you Noemy!”
About: I am an all around animal lover. I grew up in Hawaii with a connection with all animals and have a deep connection and respect for wildlife and nature. I have lived in Colorado, Tennessee, and now California. I have two large breed rescues of my own and have lots of experience with all size dogs, cats, birds, and exotic pets. I am extremely comfortable with medication administration, reactivity, heavy pullers, training reinforcements, situational awareness, animal body language, and animal welfare. I am available for drop in visits, walks, overnight stays, and any animal needs. I am currently a full time student and dog dad with time in between my dogs routine to help other fur babies through their day. I am a responsible and trustworthy animal friend who understands the importance of following through with individualized care to ensure furry friends and their owners are protected and supported in their day to day.

Cooper was also on medication and Steven did a great job with that as well. We returned to a clean home and a happy dog! We highly recommend Steven as a responsible and loving pet care provider for your house and pet sitting needs.”
“Heather is fantastic. My pups loved having her stay with them. Heather is responsive and you never feel like they are not cared for. She stays in contact and gives updates. The idea of leaving your pets worry free is amazing. Thank you Heather!”

I’m open and available all summer! I can work any day of the week and times would vary so just let me know what times! I can not offer in home boarding because I do live with other roommates who are allergic to dogs, but I am happy to fulfill any services you need!
“Beth lived in and watched our Irish wolfhounds and cats. First I am the most anal compulsive person when it comes to my hounds. I have great anxiety leaving my heard of animals but anxiety was out the window with Beth taking excellent care and attention to them. My hounds were relaxed when I came home.

“Ricardo took great care of my pups while I was out of country. He was good with the routine, provided timely updates with great pictures and took good care of the house as well. Definitely recommend him.”
“I’m so grateful we found Terra! She took excellent care of our girl—I could tell in all the photos she sent that my dog felt safe and happy. She was conscientious in her questions to ensure she gave Koa the right care, and I came back to a spotless home! I can’t recommend Terra enough, and we certainly hope she hangs out with Koa again in the future.”
“Claudia was wonderful! Our pup is always a little nervous with new people but by day 2 she was snuggled up with Claudia. She sent frequent photos and updates, was great at keeping Kaya on her regular schedule, helped out with other household tasks and left the house clean.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Rincon on Rover is $61.05 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 3,377 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Rincon. 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 Rincon 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 Rincon 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 Rincon 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.

- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
