“When you find someone that calms your nervous system when it comes to taking care of your pet, that you love dearly, that’s a really good feeling. Syd has given me that from the start. Competence is comforting. So happy she’s been able to step in and take care of my dog, Piggie. She’s been great keeping me advised of things going around my house, I have projects happening while I’m gone at work, and sending me a bunch of pictures of Piggie as well. So if that’s what you’re needing, it is a excellent choice”
“Jack was absolutely fantastic as a sitter for our Annie girl. This was the first time we had ever used Rover and Jack made this the best possible experience. He provided lots of updates, sent us lots of pictures and we could tell that he genuinely cared for and loved our girl while we were gone. Not once did we worry about how she was doing while she was in Jack's care. We came back to our apartment looking better than when we left it, could not tell we had a sitter there at all, more like we had a house cleaner come by. Would recommend Jack to anyone looking for a reliable, friendly, loving and responsible dog sitter. Will 100% book with Jack again when the time comes.”
“Rachel did a wonderful job watching our dog for a few days. She was very friendly, punctual, reliable, and followed instructions perfectly! Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a great dog sitter. Thank you Rachel!”
“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 :)”
“Vivienne calm and patient with Lego who is a very particular and anxious dog. She was punctual, communicative, and she was very responsible with my apartment housesitting as well!”
About: My experience in pet care stems from my genuine concern for the well-being of animals and my inclination towards gaining knowledge in care for animals. Which stems from my personal experiences spending extensive time with beloved pets. Observing their individual personalities, the lively energy of an active animal, and the comforting companionship of a furry friend are the factors that drive my commitment to providing exceptional experiences for every pet. I have some experience working with various animals, including turtles and bearded dragons. Additionally, I have successfully rescued several newborn kittens. Personally, I have a passion for animals and if possible, I would love to have my own farm. My objective is to uphold your pets' routines and consistently implement any positive training protocols, in order to facilitate a seamless transition when you are not around. Currently, I am employed full time, but I would be interested in providing assistance with walking or feeding animals in the afternoons when you are unable to do so. However, I can only provide care for pets at their own homes or take them for walks, as my apartment does not allow animals. My availability is somewhat restricted due to my full-time work schedule. However, I am more than willing to offer assistance with your pets outside of my working hours, including evenings, weekends, and holidays. I currently do not have the necessary accommodations to keep pets in my living space. However, I am available to offer my services by providing pet sitting within the comfort of their own home.
“I came home to such a happy cat, I can tell she barely missed me thanks to Gillian’s excellent care. She came over in advance to review anything she needed to know while I was gone, and had no issues in my absence. Highly recommend.”
“Denger was fantastic and I am so lucky to have found them on here! Our pup Missy absolutely loved them, they were instant friends and made me feel so comfortable putting her in Denger’s care. Denger carefully reviewed all of Missy’s needs, behaviors, schedule, and asked thoughtful and insightful questions. They sent us photos and our girl was happy and content when we got home! They also took excellent care of our two kitties, who took to Denger right away - even our shy one. Absolutely would recommend!”
About: Hi my name is Carley and I can not wait to meet your pet and take great care of them! I have house sat/dog sat for over 12 years now, with a number of clients. I am currently 30 years old and I've had dogs my entire life. I currently have a Ridgeback/Pitbull mix named Curtis that we rescued who I take on two walks a day, as well as take him to the park and dog beach! I spend every single day taking care of dogs so I know I am well experienced and will be a great fit for your pet! I am very active and healthy and will make sure your pet gets the exercise and attention/care that they need. I also have house sat for cats, so I am comfortable with any furry friends! I do work close to home and have some flexible hours so I can check in on them at lunch. As well as walk them. I have a fenced in yard. I can walk, feed and play with your dogs. I can bring them to parks or the beach if their owner is okay with that.
About: I am a dog owner to two of my own. My oldest is 10 and I’ve couldn’t find something that gives me the most joy in taking care of them and playing with them. I also have 5 years experience with fostering all kinds of puppies and dogs. This experience fostering allowed me to learn how to take care of dogs that aren’t my own. It also showed me how to comfort, play, and love all kinds of dogs. I am currently a college student home for the summer and have plenty of time on my hands. I also have my own car to make travel easier. My weeks are mostly free, which leads to plenty of free time on my hands at any time of day. I always make sure to create a trusting environment for not only the dogs but for the clients as well. I understand how leaving your dogs with someone can be scary, so I try to create a trusting and caring relationship with everyone involved. I also never try to overstep with dogs and clients. In terms of taking care of the dogs and instructions, I make sure to listen to all of the clients’ wants and needs and make sure they all get fulfilled in order for the best outcome for the dogs and clients.
“Brendan has made us feel like we can travel again! As we have a senior dog, we are reluctant to leave him--he's set in his ways and does not like changes to his routine which causes stress (for him and for us). Brendan set us at ease immediately. He has an extensive experience with all types of dogs, and was well aware of the unique needs of seniors: funky about feeding, different types of meds and med schedules, and the possibility of incontinence. Brendan took all of this in stride AND made us feel confident he could manage any issues should they arise. From day one, Brendan sent pictures and updates and was very communicative about Maxwell's behavior, habits and general well-being while we were gone. Although it was a lengthy stay (8 nights), he was communicative throughout and took good care of our home. I would have Brendan at our home again without question. I felt comfortable and confident that he would take good care of our sweet Maxwell. He got to know his personality and quickly seemed to understand Maxwell and that was clear in his communications with us.”
About: Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember! I’ve had my childhood dog for 15 years, a 6-year-old cat, and recently said goodbye to my beloved cat who lived to be 18. I also have many dogs in my extended family whom I’ve loved and cared for since I was young. Friends, family, and neighbors have always trusted me to care for their pets, whether that means going on walks, feeding, bathing, or administering medications. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members, and I take that responsibility seriously. Safety is always my number one priority, but just as important to me is making sure every pet feels loved, comfortable, and cared for as a member of the family. I know that every animal has their own personality, needs, and routines, and I want to make sure they feel secure and happy while you're away. I’ve loved animals since I was little, and spending time with them has always brought me a sense of comfort and grounding. Caring for animals is something that genuinely brings me joy, and I would love the opportunity to give your pets the same love, patience, and attention I give my own! I’m currently a graduate student, so my weekday mornings are dedicated to school and clinical responsibilities. However, I’m generally available every day after 12–1 p.m., including afternoons and evenings, as well as weekends, and I have flexibility throughout the week to accommodate your pet’s needs. Being a graduate student, time management has definitely become a strength of mine! I’m happy to work with your schedule, whether that means afternoon walks, drop-in visits, waking up earlier in the mornings, feeding, playtime, or providing extra love and attention while you’re away. I understand that every pet has their own routine, and I’m committed to being reliable, flexible, and attentive to their individual needs When caring for pets in their own homes, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I understand that pets thrive on routine, so I will do my best to follow their usual schedules for feeding, walks, playtime, and any medications they may need. I also want to make sure each pet receives plenty of attention, affection, and enrichment based on their individual personality and needs. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets and your home. I will always prioritize your pet’s safety, follow your instructions carefully, and keep you consistently updated so you can feel at ease while you're away. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, shy and reserved, or simply enjoys relaxing with some company, I will meet them where they are and make sure they feel cared for.
“Casey is the best! She took excellent care of our dog, Jasper, and our home while we were traveling for over 10 days. She provides very frequent updates, so we never had to wonder what was going on. She was super conscientious and left our home in fantastic condition, going the extra mile to prepare for our arrival. We can tell Jasper misses her now that we are home! :)”
“I was in a bind and Caitlin saved me! had a sitter lined up and they cancelled the night before I had to leave for a flight to New York. I didn’t know what I was going to do, so I checked Rover. I messaged Caitlin and told her my circumstances. She went to my house while I wasn’t home (I gave her our house code), she got my dogs, took them to her house and watched them all weekend at her house. She sent pictures and communicated with me the entire time. I was so anxious and she helped me to feel relaxed while she took care of my two babies. I don’t know what I would have done if she had not been so understanding and accommodating. She was a great caretaker and communicator. for sure will use her again.”
“Haley did a wonderful job staying with our little stranger-averse terrier for a week while we traveled internationally! She sent tons of photos, kept us up to date, and communicated well. She also left our home in pristine condition when she left--bedding washed and dishwasher run. 10/10!”
“V did such an amazing job watching my baby. She was super communicative and sent me tons of pictures! He looked so happy and was in a great mood when I got home (: will definitely book with her again and highly recommend her!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Rossmoor is $63
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Rossmoor
Jack does a great job as both a house sitter for our dog and overall house sitter. He sent us photos regularly to keep us up-to-date on how our 14 year-old dog, Chloe, was doing under his care. Those photos made us very comfortable that Chloe was happy under his care and doing well.He also was a great houseguest based upon the condition of our home when we returned.
Christina is fairly new to us and Prudence. She has done a few Drop-in’s but this was her 1st time with Prudence while we were away. She did a great job, super communicative, amazing photos, our pup was just as happy as she is with us, and left the house better than when we left. She is a gem.
This was my first time leaving my dogs with a sitter, so I was pretty nervous, especially since my pug has severe allergies. I brought my pups with me for a proposal I planned for my girlfriend, but unfortunately, the restaurant where we went to celebrate afterwards didn't allow dogs. I needed someone nearby who was willing to sit with them in their stroller just in case. She found a great spot right by the restaurant, took wonderful care of my babies, and was so kind and sweet. Knowing they were safe close by made our special night stress-free. I highly recommend her!

Vivienne was wonderful! She follows instructions carefully, is attentive and reliable, very communicative, and genuinely loves on my babies like they are her own. My girls love having her around and she even gets my older girl to play which she’s rarely interested in. I always feel completely comfortable knowing they are in her care!
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.
Cameron went above and beyond while house-sitting with my cat over the holidays. He made sure everything was taken care of when a big storm rolled through, fetching packages from the rain and proactively rescuing our outdoor electronics. Cameron did a great job and we will definitely hire him again.
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Rossmoor is $61 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $93 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.

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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Rossmoor. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
