About: Dogs have been a particularly big part of my life. I grew up with a Chihuahua who had multiple litters, and I helped care for approximately four litters of puppies, including feeding, monitoring, and caring for them as they grew. I’ve also puppy sat a German Shepherd, Pit Bull mix, and Doberman puppy, which gave me experience handling young, energetic dogs that require confidence, patience, and plenty of attention. I’ve also had the experience of caring for a dog through her senior years. As my dog grew older, I became more attentive to her changing needs and learned the importance of providing extra patience, comfort, supervision, and gentle care for an aging pet. I have some experience with cats as well. While dogs have been my primary experience, I’m comfortable caring for cats too and have experience handling and bathing them. I understand that cats have their own personalities and boundaries, and I’m happy to give them time to feel comfortable and safe around me. Whether I’m caring for a playful puppy, an energetic adult dog, or a senior pet who needs a little extra patience, I want every animal in my care to feel safe, loved, comfortable, and well cared for. I am also currently taking dog training classes to become a dog trainer. I’m available starting Friday afternoon and all day on weekends for onboarding sitting. Weekdays: Available for morning walks Available for morning and evening check ins Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and respect while following their normal routines as closely as possible. Before caring for a pet, I make sure I understand their feeding schedule, exercise needs, personality, medications if applicable, and any special instructions. In my client’s home, I’m attentive to potential hazards and make sure pets are supervised and kept in a safe environment. I also understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to build trust and let them become comfortable with me at their own pace. I’m happy to send regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. 🐾💕
About: I was an ER vet in NM, CA & IL for 28 years. Rehab vet for the last 12 years. Semi-retired now. All the skills except training. I'm currently semi-retired. No more 12 hour work days. No more 6 day work weeks. But I still want to do what I love doing around dogs and cats and their owners. I have a cat named Oliver. He needs medication twice a day, so I will need to go check in on him while pet sitting. I'm also a night owl if you need someone later in the day.
“Was our first time using Chloe and she stayed 4 days with our fur baby! We were so happy with her and she spoiled him with daily walks, cuddles and playtime! She sent pictures of him and he always looked so happy with her. She went beyond what we asked and came home to a happy boy and a clean house. ( which wasn’t expected)”
“Brooke is an excellent dog sitter! My two dogs were very happy spending the week with her in my home. She sent frequent photo updates and was very good at communicating. I came home to a house that was in better condition than when I left it :) Thank you, Brooke!”
About: I’ve had pets all my life, mostly dogs i love dogs so MUCH, i don’t see them as pets i see them all as best friends and therapy. they’re so nice and loving and forgiving and cuddly, I’m patient with these little angels and i have experience pet sitting and doing minor training with them! I’m working sort of a part time job And am off Wednesday, and Weekends. I can dog walk anytime after 6:00pm on weekdays. So being productive will help me with new responsibilities and things for me to learn about different breeds of dogs! ill take care of your pets as if they’re my own, show them the love they need as if they’re owner never left!
“Lindsey was incredible with our fur babies! She was very attentive to their needs including caring for one of our pups that was in heat. She was very thorough in learning their schedules and how to best care for them. She sent great updates and pictures. Will definitely be booking Lindsay again! 😁”
“Kimberly absolutely exceeded our expectations. I had arranged for a sitter and the morning of she never answered my messages or calls, leaving us with no one to care for our pup and a flight to catch. Kimberly quickly responded to my request and was so kind and accommodating. She treated our furbaby like her very own and sent pictures for updates. She asked questions about our pup and his routine which gave me so much peace of mind to know he was in caring hands. He was definitely spoiled by her. 110% satisfied snd won’t hesitate to book her again next time we need a sitter.”
About: Growing up with dogs has left me with some great experience from dog walking and playtime to feeding and administering medicine. Of course your pup will get the best treatment but that comes with a good eye. I believe that I am great at understanding their needs based off their behavior, age, and energy level. Accommodating to their needs won’t be an issue. When caring for your pup overnight, nothing will change when it comes to giving them my full attention and making sure their needs are met. When caring for my dog Max in his last years he developed a cough which required extra care such as giving medication at late hours or simply being in their presence with some scratches. This experience taught me the importance of caring for an aging dog, being patient, attentive and compassionate. I promise I will care for yours as if they were my own! Thank you 😊 I am currently working full time although I will be available for night walks after 6pm on weekdays (Monday-Thursday) and boarding on weekends (Friday-Sunday). I can offer your pups toys and attention, whether it be in or outdoors. Whatever special request you have I would do my best to achieve. I only wish to create a happy and safe environment for them 😄
“Angelee is awesome! I needed a dogsitter for a couple nights 1970's nd searched Rover. I found Angeles and she agreed to stay with them. I've had previous sitters who I had doubts about, but Angelee sent pictures, was there when she promised and truly cared for my dogs. When I got home, they were happy and they weren't stressed as they have been at times past. I cannot give enough stars for Angelee. She is dependable, honest, responsible...”

About: I’ve been a dog owner for the past 6 years, so I understand how important it is to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Over the years, I’ve gained hands-on experience with feeding, walking, playing, and taking care of my dog’s everyday needs. I’m a responsible, outgoing, and active person who genuinely enjoys spending time with dogs. Whether it’s going on walks, playing outside, or just keeping them company, I always make sure they get plenty of attention and care. I understand that every dog has its own personality and routine, and I’m happy to adjust to their specific needs. My goal is to make sure your dog feels right at home while giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands! I’m currently a student at UC Riverside, where I’m involved in clubs, intramural sports, and other campus activities. Although I stay involved with school, my classes are primarily in the mornings, which gives me plenty of flexibility throughout the rest of the day to care for pets. I’m able to work around my class schedule to provide dog walks, feeding, playtime, and house sitting. I can also go back and forth between campus and your home to make sure your dog is fed, checked on, and given the attention they need. I enjoy staying active and spending time with dogs, and I’m committed to making sure your pets are well cared for while you’re away! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well taken care of. Having my own dog for the past 7 years has taught me how important it is to follow a pet’s daily routine, whether that’s feeding, walking, playing, or just giving them attention and company. I understand that every dog has different needs and personalities, so I’m happy to follow any specific instructions from their owner. I also make sure to keep the home clean and organized, respect the owner’s space, and provide updates so they know their pet is doing well. My goal is to make sure your dog feels loved and comfortable while you’re away!

I know that senior dogs definitely need more attention when it comes to potty breaks. I also have changed dog diapers. I also grown up with large dog breeds such as Pitbulls, Rottweilers and Huskies. I have also taken care of small dogs such as toy poodles, schnauzer and pekingese. I currently work as a property manager for an Airbnb that runs within my home.

“I couldn’t be happier with the care Krystal provided for my home and my pets. She came over twice before I left town to meet the pets and talk through everything, and she made sure I felt comfortable and safe leaving my pets in her care. It’s always a bit anxiety inducing to leave your babes with someone you don’t know, but Krystal kept me updated with sweet photos and texts about the dogs and cats the entire time. She also left the home in perfectly clean condition. I will absolutely reach out to her in the future whenever I need an overnight sitter.”
“Jennifer was very responsive and attentive to detail. She was able to provide all the necessary compassion and needs for my 4 legged family members to feel comfortable for an at home overnight stay. I would both recocomend her to new clients and look forward to having her back. Thanks! 🙂”

Nick took wonderful care of our dogs! It’s always stressful to leave them, but after meeting Nick I felt very at ease. He seemed trust worthy, friendly, and a genuinely kind person. Upon returning home the dogs were happy and relaxed. Would definitely recommend to anyone needing a trustworthy person to take care of their furry family members! Thanks again Nick!
gisselle was so wonderful with my Coco. Coco is a senior dog with health problems and cannot get overly excited. Gisselle understood my concerns with leaving my Coco with anyone but me! She sent me updates and pictures of Coco throughout my absence. i would highly recommend her.

The average cost of House Sitting in San Bernardino is $42 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $39 and $80 per night.

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 San Bernardino 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 San Bernardino 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 San Bernardino 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
