About: here to help those in need of pet sitting/walking. I have a specialty in working with behavioral type dogs such as leash aggression, dog/dog aggression, triggers like cars/flags/ loud noises/cats or rodents. Don’t let my profile steer you away either as we work with good pups too some just need a little more time and attention. I have 2 dogs that I managed to work quite well with their training and various triggers and hope to be able to assist with yours as well, as I know it can be difficult to put your trust in another person that may or does not know how to handle accordingly. I love animals all around. I have specifically worked with all pets for the past 7-10 years whether this be (cats, dogs, reptiles, or birds). I come from a background of daycare services, grooming, training, and have worked in a sanctuary and shelter as well. An additional note is I am experienced in administering medications and how to deescalate situations whether medical or otherwise. I do work with pets with behavioral concerns and would like to be notified if there are any triggers or aggression (people or dogs) please let us know so we can work together accordingly. I communicate effectively and work to make you feel comfortable all together. ❤️ hope you guys find us of interest Jada’s schedule: currently only available evenings and weekends , school occasionally (early mornings/nights), we should know almost 24 hours in advance for any care We would specifically only be working in owners home or outside of owners home as we currently stay with our own pets and have low space.
About: I have been caring for pets of all kind since I was very young. As an aspiring animal right attorney, I would be thrilled to care for your pet. I currently manage a pet store in downtown. I currently am going to school and working part time. I am available full time from Sunday to Tuesday! I am always willing to move my schedule around to accommodate you and your fur baby! I don’t currently offer care for pets at my home, as I have a very grumpy cat! I am available to house sit/ walk your pets in an environment they are already accustomed to!
“Meghan is a wonderful pet sitter. She’s really patient and kind with my very shy dog! She texts status updates and photos. So glad we were able to have her stay with our pets.”
About: I've been a dog lover my entire life and grew up surrounded by dogs. I currently have an 11-year-old Corgi who means the world to me, so I understand just how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet. I treat every dog with the same love, patience, and care that I give my own. I'm happy to schedule a meet-and-greet beforehand so you and your pup can get to know me and feel comfortable. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and any income I earn goes toward caring for my own dog, including his veterinary care. I look forward to giving your furry family member the attention, love, and care they deserve while you're away.
“My husband and I were very nervous about having a stranger watch our babies. Hillary was very understanding and she kept us informed throughout her entire stay. We have 2 older dogs that required extra attention, she gave them their medications, monitored their eating and kept us up to date on their status. Hillary went above and beyond, she washed the dishes and the sheets in the room she stayed in. We would definitely hire her again.”
About: Hi! My name is Sherleen and I love dogs and have always grown up with them. I had a childhood chihuahua that I took care of for over 15 years. I now have a malte poo and a pug that I’ve been raising for over 11 years since before they could be weaned from their mom. You can imagine the nights waking up to feed them like human babies! I’ve picked up doggie accidents that seemed like natural disasters and have groomed and bathed my dogs since having them. I’ve cared for dogs from shelters who have trust issues around humans, dogs with behavioral issues and health issues. This includes giving them routine medication around the clock, dedicating time to gaining trust, or as simple as them needing help cleaning themselves after using the restroom. I own 2 Brachycephalic dogs so I also understand the attention those breeds require. Personally, my pug is allergic to fleas and ticks so my house and yard are flea and tick free for her safety! I am a college student who’s doing classes online this summer and can 100% dedicate attention and care. Dogs are our babies and deserve nothing less! I currently work with students as an orchestra tutor and a coach working with students ranging of ages. I work around schedules for students and I can do the same for people needing pet sitting! As a school district worker I am required to do background checks and fingerprints to be a teacher, I understand having a stranger take care of your dog can be stressful but with this knowledge I hope I can ease some of your minds. As a dog owner it’s only essential to give your dog attention, interaction and above all, patience. Dogs like playing, walking or just chilling with their owners and those things vary between dogs! Some have way more energy than other dogs and it’s important to know what they need especially since they can’t talk for themselves. In my household I have a yard that my dogs stay outside for the majority of the day. When bringing in new dogs, I will keep your dog/s indoors and take care of their needs at all times with me so in the case they’re not used to other pups I have a barrier.
About: I've grown up around dogs my whole life and have been walking and caring for friends and family's dogs for years. I know how to give each pup the attention and exercise they need. My daily routine is very flexible. I'm available every morning and evening for walks, and I build my whole schedule around your dog's needs. Whether it's a quick potty break or a longer adventure, I'll make sure your pup gets the exercise and attention they need. I always care for pets in the client's home. I follow any special instructions you give me, keep your house clean, and make sure all doors and gates are securely closed before I leave. Your pet's safety and your home are my top priority.
“My dog was safe with Eden. Sent me pictures/updates. Only thing was that she wasn’t comfortable taking my dog on a walk. When she usually goes on 2 walks a day. Thought it would be a house not an apartment. She’s new to rover so I understand the confusion for her. Still my dogs and animals were safe and sound when I came home.”
“Mae did a great job taking care of our corgis. When I returned home they were happy and safe and feed. She is trust worthy and sent pictures of the puppies. She as booked with us last minute on new years which was amazing help to us. My house was also how I left it. Would definitely book again. Thank you Mae.”
“Elle was terrific! We needed care for our 2 dogs while we were gone to wedding. She came over and met us and the dogs ahead of time. The dogs loved her right off. She has a caring personality and they loved that... One of our dogs is a senior diabetic that needs shots. Elly was more than willing to handle that as well as the pills they needed. She sent lots of pictures and notes about how it was going. Everything went well and we plan to request her in the near future. So glad to have someone that we trust with their care.”
“Came home to a happy dog and kitty. Ella was very friendly and followed all our feeding and yard safety instructions. She kept our fur babies safe! I will definitely use her again.”
“Jose did a great job taking care of our 2 pups. They really enjoyed hus company. He sent pictures and gave us updates every day. When we got home the house was just as neat and clean as we left it. I would definitely use Jose again.”

Hillary was very responsive and attentive with our Sadie. She sent lots of amazing pictures and took her on walks/adventures. I felt comfortable with her caring for our sweet and energetic girl. She was very communicative with us, which was very comforting. I would definitely book her again. Sadie felt very comfortable with her.
If you are looking for a housesitter for your pets, look no further! Kristina is the best Rover we have found. She takes great care for our dogs, is very good at communicating with us during her stay, and accommodates for anything we need. This is the second time we have used her and I highly recommend her. Thanks Kristina!
Natalie was beyond amazing. I selfishly hope she doesn’t get too busy because she is that good 😂 She updated me often, played with all 3 of my dogs ALOT, and took care of my house like it was hers. Thanks for loving/spoiling my pups like they were your own! :)
Javi is awesome with my cats. He is also prompt and timely with responses. He manages the home details, cleaning trash, mail and overall safety for my kitties. He is very self sufficient and pays attention to small details about the cats and my home. Highly recommend Javi!
Dana is wonderful and kind with my dogs. She took great care of my dogs and took photos of my dogs. That helped me knowing my dogs are good with her. Dana also communicated with me with questions. Dana is a dog lover and I can trust her with my dogs. You will not be disappointed. I give her 5 stars!
Nutan was very professional and caring for Tex! She had some personal trouble before the appointment but still made the effort to be here and did a great job with my fur baby! I would 100% use her again. Nutan is very knowledgeable about animals and personable with both me and Tex.

FAQs for House Sitting - Rubidoux
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Rubidoux on Rover is $26.45 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 3,690 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Rubidoux. 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 Rubidoux 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 Rubidoux 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 Rubidoux 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 Rubidoux. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% 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.
