“Where to begin! We hired Rachel to house sit for a week while we went on vacation. Rachel was just wonderful! This was my first time not only using Rover but also my first time seeking out a dog sitter for an extended period of time. I was nervous about how the process was going to go, however i had nothing to worry about. Rachel was very attentive with my boys and spent plenty of time hanging out with them and making sure that they had lots of cuddle and play time. She provided me multiple photos daily and kept me up to date with everything happening back home while i was away on my vacation. Because of that I was able to be relaxed and stress free knowing my boys were in great loving care with Rachel. We returned home and our home was cleaner than we left it! I will absolutely be hiring Rachel in the future for all of my needs (drop in visits and house sitting) Book with confidence knowing your pets are in good care under Rachel!!”
“India always takes great care of our pup! She proactively communicates and sends pictures to let us know how things are going. Our dog is always happy and content with her. We’ve used India a few times to house sit and would highly recommend her to anyone.”

“Izzy was a complete delight to work with! I booked her to house sit and care for our 3 dogs for a long weekend and she was extremely reliable, professional, and responsible. She went above and beyond her duty to care for our dogs and we returned to 3 happy pups and an immaculate house! We will certainly be requesting her services again and again!”
“Duncan watched our two dogs in our home for 3 nights. He was conscientious and communicative before we left and throughout his stay. He sent updates and photos of the dogs and reassured us that all was well while we were away. Bonus points for leaving our apartment very tidy!”
About: I have always loved being around dogs and being able to make sure their needs are met completely. Although I have only owned one dog I have been around different dogs from a young age. I trained my own dog as a puppy but I have family who have owned pit bulls, cane corsos, husky’s, etc. Animals and dogs have become a passion of mine and making sure they are living the best life they possibly can. I’m currently a bio major college student with completely open weekend times along with some weekday times. Tuesdays after 2:30 pm, Thursdays between 7 am to 10 am and after 2:30 PM, and Fridays starting at 11 AM. I understand the responsibility of the job and meeting your pets needs along with keeping them safe will always be the top priority. I also understand how hard it is to trust someone with your pet so I will also take pictures and videos to help making you feel comfortable while your away. Throughout my time I will make sure the pets feel as safe as possible and make sure they are getting the proper attention, care, and supervision.
About: I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs and cats my entire life! Over my 25 years, my family has had two Rottweilers, a Pitbull, and a cat, all of whom lived long, loved lives before sadly passing from old age. Today, my family has a Cocker Spaniel, several Yorkies, and two cats, all of whom I absolutely adore! Having cared for everything from large, energetic breeds to smaller dogs and cats, I’m comfortable with animals of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. I’ve also experienced caring for pets as they grow older, so I understand the importance of patience, gentleness, and adapting to their needs. I recently moved into my own place, and one of the things I miss most is coming home to my family’s dogs and cats. That’s a big part of why I’d love to become a pet sitter! I genuinely enjoy the companionship animals bring, and I’d be thrilled to give your furry family members the same love, attention, and affection I’ve always given my own. I know pets aren’t just animals; they’re family. My goal is to make sure yours feel just as safe, comfortable, and loved with me as they do with you! My schedule is pretty flexible! I typically work from home or close by, which means I can be a very present and attentive sitter rather than leaving your pets alone for long periods. Whether your pet needs regular walks, feeding, playtime, bathroom breaks, or just someone to keep them company throughout the day, I’m happy to accommodate their routine as much as possible. I’m also open to overnight stays and boarding! Since I live on my own, I have the flexibility to make your pet feel welcome and give them plenty of one-on-one attention. I understand that every pet has different needs, so I’m always happy to communicate and coordinate with owners to find a schedule that works best for everyone! Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort will always be my top priorities! Having grown up caring for several different breeds, including large dogs and smaller companions, I understand that every animal has its own personality, boundaries, and needs. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I’ll do my best to maintain their usual routine so they feel comfortable and secure. That includes following feeding instructions, keeping up with walks and bathroom breaks, providing plenty of affection, and respecting any specific rules or preferences you have. I recently moved into my own place, where I have a fenced yard for your furry friends to safely enjoy some fresh air, playtime, and exercise! My home offers a peaceful, comfortable environment where your pets can relax and receive plenty of individual attention. I’ll always supervise outdoor activities and make sure your pet feels safe and welcome. I also believe communication is incredibly important! I’m more than happy to send regular pictures, videos, and updates so you can enjoy your time away knowing your furry family member is in good hands. Most importantly, I’ll treat your pets the way I’ve always treated my own: with love, patience, kindness, and lots of cuddles (if they’re into that, of course!).
“We had such a great experience with Jade! She stayed at our home with Fig while we were away and took such wonderful care of him. She was communicative, reliable, and made us feel completely comfortable knowing he was in good hands. We came home to a happy pup and our house just as we left it. We would absolutely have her watch Fig again and highly recommend her!”
About: I used to be a Dog Trainer years ago. My friends & family do come to me with questions and trust my input when they are having difficulties or just need some advice. With having that experience and having the different dogs and cats in my life, I know what I can handle. From taking care of Great Danes, to helping getting kittens to trust humans, I trust myself to make the right decision on a lot of things. I do have a Full Time job, but I do work in an environment with animals. I am usually scheduled 8 or 9hr shifts. My schedule/shifts are usually pretty set in stone unless i make an adjustment or for a co-workers PTO. I am willing to talk over any adjustments to times and getting the normal routine as close to normal as possible. My home is fenced in for my families dogs. They are all very much aware of their area and, even though it might not be the biggest, they still enjoy themselves. My cats usually stay in my room, due to 1 of the dogs not being too friendly sometimes. We have been slowly introducing them little by little. They do get to venture out in the hallways and see the rest of the family on the weekends. They still get plenty of love, play, and food for days!
“Melissa took great care of my senior dog and the house while I was on a long trip. She communicated daily with photos, watered my plants and was very easy to work with. I would recommend her highly!”
About: I have dogs of my own that I take on daily walks. I have two husky’s (11 and 6 yrs) and a pitbull I had for 13.5 yrs (she crossed the rainbow bridge). I enjoy going out for walks because I know it’s a dogs favorite time of the day. I’ve taken my friends and family’s dogs on walks while they’ve been out of town. I’m looking to walk dogs in the evening when I go for my afternoon walks around the neighborhood. There are times where I may have availability during the day as well. I’m flexible and will do my best to fit you into my schedule. I love dogs and I treat all dog as if they are my own. I’ll make sure to make them feel comfortable with me and give them the attention they need.
“Rachel was a stellar house sitter! She was extremely attentive to our animal family members needs including 2 dogs and chickens. She kept us up to date on everything going on and communicated daily including with photos and funny and spot on commentary about our dog’s individual personalities. I highly recommend Rachel!!!”
“Manju was an excellent caretaker for our two dogs. We got frequent updates with lots of pictures! This provided us with peace of mind and we could tell she put a lot of love into her care of our dogs! We returned to a spotless house and happy dogs. We would absolutely work with Manju again!”
About: I have hands-on experience working in pet resorts and doggy daycares, where I’ve cared for dogs with a variety of personalities and needs. As a wildlife biology student, I’m passionate about animal behavior, welfare, and providing attentive, compassionate care. I’m excited to give every pet the love, patience, and personalized attention they deserve! 🐾 As a student, I’m looking to earn some extra spending money while doing something I love, spending time with animals! My schedule is flexible around my classes, and I’m available most days of the week. I’m unavailable on Tuesdays and Thursdays, but I’m happy to coordinate care around your pet’s needs! I’ll care for your pets in the comfort of their own home by keeping them happy, safe, and comfortable in their familiar environment. With my experience working in pet resorts and doggy daycares, I understand the importance of animal behavior, patience, and individualized care. I’ll follow your pet’s usual routines for feeding, walks, playtime, and medications as instructed. I’ll also make every walk and playtime a fun, safe, and enriching experience for your pet! I’m passionate about keeping animals active, happy, and mentally stimulated. Your pet’s safety and happiness will always be my priority!
About: I have been taking care of pets since when I was a child, probably 10 years old, I asked my neighbors to walk with their dogs for free all the time. I love pets. I take care of dog when my friends go for a vacation too. So I started to work as a dog-sitter. I am a special needs teacher who loves animals and wants to spend her free time with them! Over the weekends I’m always pet sitting I can create a nice space at your house for your dog. We can go for a walk, play with their toys and have a lot of fun.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Rossmoor
Catalina was absolutely wonderful! She went above and beyond caring for our dogs and our cat. She took the time to be gentle, patient, and attentive to all of their individual needs, followed all of our directions, and communicated with us throughout the entire time. Our pets were so happy and comfortable with her, and honestly, our dogs have never seemed happier with a sitter! It gave us such peace of mind knowing they were in such loving and capable hands. We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter and would recommend Catalina to anyone. We will absolutely book her again!
Vicky was an absolute dream of a house and dog sitter! From start to finish, her communication was top-notch—she kept us completely at ease with regular, thoughtful updates and photos of our dogs. It was clear right away that they were happy, comfortable, and receiving wonderful care. Beyond being fantastic with the dogs, Vicky was the perfect house guest. She went above and beyond by bringing in our mail and packages, and she left our home spotless and well cared for. She is incredibly respectful, reliable, and attentive. We would rebook Vicky in a heartbeat and cannot recommend her highly enough to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet and house sitter!
Scott was amazing. He took great care of our 2 dogs and 5 cats!! When we got home they were happy and content. We knew he gave them love and attention throughout the week. Scott was a great communicator, sending lots of photos and videos. I would highly recommend him!
Aliyah stayed at our house with our two dogs for a week while we were on the west coast and I couldn’t have felt more comfortable and relaxed knowing she was with them. From the moment the dogs met Aliyah, they loved her! She took them on numerous walks, gave them all the snuggles and was incredible with communication. I feel so grateful to have found someone so caring to watch over our fur babies. We will absolutely be using Aliyah for future needs for our pups!
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Helena the care Emilie and Bruno received while we were in Italy. From the very beginning, I felt completely at ease leaving them with someone I trusted to love and care for them as if they were her own. She sent frequent photos and updates, which gave me such peace of mind while we were away. It truly felt like a lifelong friend was staying with my kids. She also took exceptional care of our home, bringing in the mail, watering, and handling every little detail without our having to worry about a thing. At the end of her stay, she coordinated with my mother to ensure a smooth and seamless handoff. Everything went perfectly, and Helena was an absolute delight to work with. I returned home to two happy, well-loved dogs and a beautifully cared-for home. I would trust her with Emilie and Bruno again without hesitation and recommend her wholeheartedly!
Gabby was truly a dream come true! She was available on short notice and was genuinely eager to care for my dog and two cats. From the start, it was clear how much love and attention she gave them. They were incredibly well cared for and happy in her care. When my dog became very sick during her stay, Gabby went above and beyond. She didn’t hesitate to take him to the vet, manage his medications, and stay on top of follow-ups with the veterinary team. Her calmness, responsibility, and willingness to take charge during a stressful situation meant so much to me. Gabby was also wonderful about communicating throughout her stay, regularly sending photos and updates so I always knew how my animals were doing. I highly recommend Gabby to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, kind, responsible, and loving to look after their pets. I would absolutely have her care for my animals again!
Melanie was such a trooper! Three kitties, two with pills, and a cancelled flight return/emergency extra day. That's a lot to juggle and she managed beautifully. All three kitties loved her and were clearly happy and healthy in the great pics that she sent regularly. Highly recommend!
Jason was great - clearly a dog lover. He was open for being a bit of a test run for Artie staying somewhere overnight that wasn't our house for the first time. He was very communicative, and even drove Artie back to us when we got home a little later than we were expecting.
I cannot say enough good things about Alexandra! She was on time every time, gave extra time and attention, and really went the extra mile for my three dogs. She was an excellent communicator when my dog didn’t want to take his meds and problem solved through it. Would 100% hire her again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Rossmoor is $41 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $111 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:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
