“Lindsey is wonderful! She has such great energy and gave our Luna all the exercise and attention she needed. She sent us tons of pictures of their daily walks and adventures! Thank you Lindsey for taking such great care of our babies.”
“Emily was absolutely wonderful! So caring to our pup and so thoughtful to us, sending pictures unprompted (such a lovely surprise to get throughout the day!) and really giving him the love we couldn’t while we were gone. I’d highly recommend Emily to anyone needing someone to care for their dog, she was fantastic :)”
“Kristina was amazing! One of the best sitters I've dealt with on Rover. She was so communicative and caring, she is fantastic with the pups and they were happy and healthy upon our return. Absolutely loved working with her!”
“Kristen was amazing. We booked her last minute, but she still made time to come to our home, meet Chapo, and take notes on everything she needed to know. Our flight was early in the morning, and as soon as I sent the request, she responded right away and came over to learn about his meds, routine, and schedule. We’re so grateful for her. She played with Chapo, took him on walks, and made sure he got his meds since he had an upset stomach when we left. She updated us every time she was with him, which gave me so much peace of mind during our trip. Highly recommend her!”
“Michael took great care of my dog Mochi and my house. He's friendly and very easy to talk with about dog things and beyond. He graciously accepted my last minute request to house sit, and followed my detailed instructions for Mochi's routine. I'll definitely ask him to house sit for Mochi again.”
“Shauna was great! She was super communicative and took great care of my dog and cats. I felt completely at ease while I was away because I felt confident that my pets were being taken great care of. She sent me great pictures and all the animals seemed completely happy and relaxed when I came home. I can’t recommend her enough!”
“Zeni was great! She took excellent care of Penny while we were out of town. She sent lots of photos and provided daily updates on how everything was going. We will certainly use her again if she is available :)”
“Christopher looked after our kids for 9 days and my old Great Dane just fell in love !! The young ones kept him quite busy and he diligently took care of each with a warm heart and lots of love hugs and kisses to all the fur babies . Absolutely fantastic to know you can rely on such a competent and friendly dog sitter like him. Got home today and my kids was over the moon .. Definitely a 5👌🏼in our books ..”
“Mabel loves Jack so much! He does such a great job keeping her routine, he very attentive to her and always makes sure she is taken care of no matter what is going on. He always takes such good care of her and she is so comfortable with him because of it. He also did a great job sending me lots of pictures and videos which helped me relax while I was away.”
“Mary did an excellent job caring for our 2 dogs and cat while we were away for the weekend. She is an excellent communicator, follows all instructions and gave our babies so much love! Will be booking her again :)”
“Haley did a great job house sitting for me whilst I was on vacation and looked after our mini Aussie Shepherd. She communicated clearly and sent pictures of our dog having fun. She left the house neat and tidy too. Thanks Haley.”
About: I’m a dog mom of two and have raised both of my dogs since they were puppies, so I’m very experienced with daily care, routines, and potty training. I’m comfortable reinforcing training, giving treats appropriately, and helping dogs stick to their normal structure. I also have experience administering medications, as one of my dogs has gone through surgery and required consistent care during recovery. In addition, I regularly care for my friend’s mini dachshund, who I’ve been watching since she was just 2 months old and continue to watch almost every month. Because of this, I’m very comfortable with puppies, small dogs, and maintaining routines that help them feel safe and secure. I also have experience with leash reactivity, so I understand how to handle dogs that may need a little extra awareness, patience, and space while on walks. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets consistent attention, timely walks, and stick closely to their usual routines. I’m able to plan my day around their needs, whether that’s feeding schedules, playtime, or just keeping them company so they feel comfortable and cared for. I also help take care of my sister’s cat when she’s away, so I’m used to checking in, maintaining routines, and making sure cats feel comfortable in their own space. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable and stress free. For drop in visits, I handle feeding, fresh water, potty breaks or litter box cleaning, playtime, and any specific instructions you provide. I also make sure to give them attention and companionship so they don’t feel lonely. For in home pet sitting, I maintain their full daily routine, including walks, feeding schedules, and downtime. I’m attentive to behavior, cleanliness, and safety, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and check ins so you have peace of mind while you’re away. As a pet owner who has used pet sitters myself, I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets. I aim to provide the same level of reliability, communication, and care that I would want for my own animals.
“Melia is the most incredible dog and house sitter I have ever worked with. Our dog is extremely difficult and terrified of people. Melia’s manner was so gentle that our dog took to her immediately. She clearly has true empathy for animals and deep understanding of how to care for them. I won’t go into the story here, but she essentially saved our dog’s life while we were out of town. My gratitude for Melia is boundless after this incident. Additionally, the house was spotless when we arrived home. Melia truly goes above and beyond all expectautons!”
“Cloe saved my trip when my original sitter plans backed out days before. She’s super quick to respond and I felt really confident in her care for Odin in my home while I was away. My mind was at ease.”
“It was the first time we left our puppy and we were so nervous. Brendan was incredibly communicative and sent us so many pictures & videos over the 3 days that made us feel at ease. It also looked like our puppy was having the time of her life with him! Can't recommend him enough!”
“Kate watched our dog for a week and a half while we were abroad. She stayed in our home. She sent regular updates and photos, and was very responsive the entire time we were gone. We came home to a happy healthy pup and a clean home. Would highly recommend Kate!”
“Jessica is the best! Great communication, and calming presence with our very energetic dogs! We have a 2 year old German Shepherd and 1 year old Rottweiler, shepherd mix - Jessica was great with our big dogs.. assertive, and confident handling. Highly recommended!”

Lindsey was hands down the best sitter I’ve ever had!! I didn’t think it was possible to walk a dog so much but I swear Lindsey walked Loona like 6 times a day LOL! You can tell she is so passionate about animals. My cat LOVED her. I will be booking Lindsey again soon she is the best!!! Thank you Lindsey!!
Caleb has been an excellent sitter both times for our pup Cooper, kept me updated on his status and was fast with his responses. The dog likes him and so do I. Anytime I am out of town I will be looking to use his services should he be available. I highly recommend him should you find yourself ever in need for a sitter.
Amanda kept me updated on Kelly’s daily routine, including her walks, feeding schedule, and relaxation time. She also sent photos of Kelly throughout her stay, which gave me peace of mind and reassured me that Kelly was happy and well cared for. I would definitely book with Amanda again and highly recommend her.
Marissa watched our home and two very high energy Australian shepherds for nine days. She communicated with us daily, sent pictures, and took incredible care of our two doggies. Our home was left in amazing condition, she took in our mail, and overall we’re feeling so fortunate that she was available and offered to help. Highly, highly, highly recommend. THANK YOU MARISSA!!!
Candy is an absolute gem of a dog sitter! From the moment we connected, I felt completely at ease leaving my dogs in her care. She is reliable, attentive, and genuinely loves animals, which shows in everything she does. Candy kept me updated and treated my dogs like her own. I came home to happy, relaxed pups, which says it all. I wouldn’t hesitate to book Candy again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and wonderful dog sitter.
Kayla was professional, communicative, and great with my anxious senior dog. She followed instructions perfectly and administered her medications without any issues. I came home to a very happy dog. I will be happy to book Kyla again to take care of my fur baby.
Kristen was amazing. We booked her last minute, but she still made time to come to our home, meet Chapo, and take notes on everything she needed to know. Our flight was early in the morning, and as soon as I sent the request, she responded right away and came over to learn about his meds, routine, and schedule. We’re so grateful for her. She played with Chapo, took him on walks, and made sure he got his meds since he had an upset stomach when we left. She updated us every time she was with him, which gave me so much peace of mind during our trip. Highly recommend her!

FAQs for House Sitting - Rossmoor
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Rossmoor on Rover is $68.63 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 14,425 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Rossmoor. 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 Rossmoor 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 Rossmoor 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 Rossmoor 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 Rossmoor. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% 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.
