“Anthony was so patient with our boy. He tried everything to get him to take his meds, walked him and hung out with him, establishing trust. We were very nervous about having a new sitter. And 13 dog doesn’t adapt well. But Tony did a great job.”
“Yasmin is such a sweet and patient soul! She has such a calm disposition that put my family at ease to trust in taking care of our fur babies. Such a wonderful experience working with her. We feel lucky to have met such a gem of a dog sitter who truly LOVES dogs. Upon booking she offered to meet our dogs the night before to meet and get acclimated with the dogs. This was comforting…and she even brought each of them a little chew toy to play with! On the day of our booking she was great with communication, updates, and sending pictures of our girls!! It was awesome to see them having fun, playing and resting throughout the day. My German Shepherd is very high energy and she took her high play drive like a pro! When I got home she was happy and mellow from being active all day! From my family to yours, thank you Yasmin!!💗”
About: I've cared for dogs and cats for many years and understand how important it is to have someone dependable looking after them. I'm comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, medication, senior pets and pets with special needs. I have experience caring for a blind and hard-of-hearing dog, and I recently completed a weeklong cat and house-sitting stay. I'm attentive to routines and instructions and want pets to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their people are away. I'm retired, which gives me the flexibility to spend plenty of time with your pets and keep their routine consistent while you're away. I follow feeding, walks, playtime, medications, litter or potty routine, and any special instructions carefully. I'm dependable, respectful of your home, and happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pets are comfortable and well cared for. Your pet's safety and comfort are my priority. I follow your instructions closely, including feeding, medications, walks, doors and gates, and any special routines or restrictions. I'm careful when entering and leaving the home and will never let a pet outside unsecured. I also respect your home and keep things clean and secure while you're away. Because I'm retired, I have the flexibility to give your pets plenty of attention and not rush their care.
“Joyce did a great job with Bellini. She regularly sent me images and updates on my pet's behavior throughout my time away. Communicative, reliable, and an obvious pet lover - I felt confident my cat and my home were in good hands during my vacation. I'll definitely be working with Joyce again in the future. 5 star recommend!!”
“Phenomenal engagement with both of my pups and very comfortable with them considering they are big dogs. Would absolutely have him come and dog sit with my pups again. I know they enjoyed their time with him.”
“Rachel was absolutely amazing from start to finish! She was very prompt with her response to my initial query, quickly scheduled a meet and greet, and came prepared with questions. She is very professional, reliable, and absolutely loves animals. Buster had a great time with Rachel! She stayed with him for three days and I came home to a spotless home and a happy dog. She reviewed all the instructions in depth and consistently provided me with updates and cute little videos of Buster. I will absolutely be using Rachel again in the future and can wholeheartedly recommend her to others.”
“Keller was truly wonderful with Pasha and Marie! I have such a hard time leaving my pets, especially because Pasha is older and has some health needs and medications, so I usually don’t feel like I have the freedom to go on trips without having so much anxiety about them. Keller really changed that for me. They were so kind, thoughtful, communicative, and attentive from the very beginning. They sent lots of updates and photos, asked thoughtful questions, and were so careful with Pasha’s routine, walks, meals, and medications. It was clear that they genuinely cared about both of my girls feeling comfortable, safe, and loved. Pasha and Marie both warmed up to Keller so quickly, which honestly says everything. Having someone I could actually trust with my fur babies made such a huge difference, and I’m so grateful we found them. I will absolutely continue using Keller to watch my fur babies and highly recommend them.”
“Olivia was friendly, attentive, and patient with our dog! She was easy to coordinate with and really helped us out on short notice. We got consistent updates and she left the house in great shape. I highly recommend her and am grateful she was able to take care of our boy.”
About: Hi, I’m Amy! I am a responsible and dependable animal lover who understands that pets are an important part of the family. I grew up on a farm with several animals. I have always been surrounded by dogs, cats, and other furry friends, which has given me a good understanding of animal behavior. This experience taught me the importance of how animals have different needs and personalities. Therefore, I understand that every pet has a different personality, routine, and needs. So, I understand the importance of following instructions regarding feeding, walking, medication, playtime, and any special care. I work from home, and I can keep an eye on your pet while working. However, If this is an issue, I fully understand. I am available after 5 PM for my full attention. I am available overnights on Thursdays and free most of Fridays. I will do my best to work around your pet’s normal routine and provide dependable, consistent care. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. I will follow all household instructions, respect your home, and contact you immediately if I notice any changes in your pet’s behavior or health.
“Jordan was amazing! My senior citizen has a history of bad anxiety especially around the Fourth of July with the fireworks but Jordan kept me reassured that my boy was doing great and that made me at peace while I was away, which is all I can ever ask for while I’m away. She sent pictures and updates and I would definitely reuse her again.”
“Our little Dachshund mix and our nervous, smart one year old Shepherd mix pup loved Justine and we could enjoy our vacation without worry. She is very sweet and took great care of our home as well!”
About: I've cared for doggies of all ages all my life, both my own and for clients. I am comfortable with pups that require a bit more attention & have experience with administering meds, keeping food and water dishes clean & fresh, preparing specialty food and cleaning up any accidents. I am comfortable with giving baths, going for walks & frequent potty breaks. Getting to play and cuddle is always a plus! As I am looking for part-time work I currently have plenty of time for specialty pet care including play time, feeding, potty breaks, walks, or even baths. I have more experience with pets that are allowed free range of the house, but if needed I can safely crate the fur baby comfortably.
About: Hi there! I’m so excited to help care for your furry family members. As a lifelong animal lover and dog parent (having raised two wonderful dogs of my own), I know how important it is to find someone you can completely trust with your pets. I currently serve as a trained volunteer at the Pasadena Humane Society, where I work directly with dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. To ensure your pet’s safety is always the top priority, I am fully certified in Cat and Dog First Aid & CPR through the American Red Cross. Whether your pet needs an upbeat walk to burn off energy or a gentle, slow-paced stroll, I adapt to their individual needs and comfort levels. I am particularly experienced and comfortable working with pets who experience anxiety, have special medical needs, or require precise medication administration. When your pet is with me, you can rest easy knowing they are receiving attentive, patient, and loving care. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! I currently work from home and have a flexible daily routine. With the exception of an occasional zoom meeting, I can be by your pup’s side. I live in a 3 story townhouse with the main living space on the 3rd floor. Dogs can go wherever I am, and I can carry them up/down stairs if needed. I will treat them as if they were my own pup 😃
About: Hi! I'm Renae, a lifelong animal lover with a calm, gentle personality and a genuine passion for caring for pets. I know how important it is to feel confident and worry free when you're away, so I focus on safety, communication, and lots of love. I care for pets the way I care for my own, with patience, attention and respect for their routine. I would love to meet your pets and help make your time away easier and stress free.

I can dog sit 2 pets from same household. Pet care naturally fits into my daily and weekly routine because it blends seamlessly with the rhythm of my home life. Each day includes dedicated time for feeding, fresh water, walks, play and simple check-ins to make sure pets feel calm, comfortable, and loved. I structure my schedule so that pet visits are spaced throughout the day, allowing me to give each animal my full attention and unhurried care.
“We had a great first experience using Rover! Taryn was truly the perfect choice for our pup sitter! I was pretty nervous having to leave my puppy for the whole day but Taryn really took the best care of her. Communication was great and everything ended up going very smoothly! They played together throughout the day and Taryn even managed to give Leia some basic training lessons, which was super awesome!! We would absolutely recommend Taryn and will definitely book her again because we know our Leia will be safe and having fun!! 🐾✨♥️”

About: I worked for a pet boarding and daycare so I’m optimistic I can provide the best care for your furry family members! My skills start with tending to pet clients needs, group play for daycare and for boarding, as well as individual play for special dogs. Feedings in am and pm as well as lunches for specific clients. Picking up and cleaning spills, fecal, and other messes. Dishes and laundry and overall tending to the cleanliness of the facility. I have faith if I can handle 60+ pets I can handle anything! I have four cats and one dog, so you can imagine I have my hands full. I clean our three litter boxes every day and feed both cats and dog twice. Once in the am and once in the pm. The cats do get some kibble in between the day as well. Take the dog out back to potty as frequently as needed. But we spend a lot of time outside so it’s not hard. I follow client instructions to ensure the comfort and care of their little fur family. I know it can be hard being apart from their owner so I always try to give them extra love to provide comfort and reassurance!

I love animals of all breeds and species! I enjoy taking dogs for walks, playing with their favorite toy, and snuggling with them. You can be sure that I will give them all the love they need while you’re away! I know how to administer oral medication, and how to disguise it if the pet is particular about taking medicine. I’m easy going and take instructions well. I’d like to make you feel at ease knowing your pet is in good hands! I own a car, so transportation won’t be a problem. I’d love to come walk, play, and stay with your cherished pet!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - San Dimas
Isabella was amazing. She took care of my 14 year old Maltese, Mochi while I was on vacation for 2 weeks. She kept me updated and sent pictures. Isabella is sweet, friendly and very responsible. I will definitely be using her services in the future. Thank you!!
Jade did a great job of taking care of our dog, Lily, while we were on vacation out of the country. She was very responsive and sent us pictures daily. She left our home in great condition as well. Our pup was excited to see us when we returned, but not overly excited, which made it clear that she was well taken care of and well entertained while we were gone. We would definitely recommend Jade to other pet owners and plan to hire her again in the future!
It was a good experience with Hunter. Good things are that he is easy to communicate with, reliable, and knowledgeable about dogs. I could feel his passion for studying to become a vet, and he has a strong sense of professionalism toward animals. He did everything we asked for, sending many cute photos and videos. We could see how our dog was doing. He was on time, and responses were immediate. The room and backyard were kept clean. I appreciate it not only for taking care of our dog. I’m willing to ask about taking care of our dog next time if we have any chance. Our senior dog liked him well. I guess he missed Hunter the following day because he didn't see him.
Jennifer was amazing with our dog over Memorial Day weekend! She was attentive, responsive, and kept us updated the entire time! She followed all of our instructions perfectly and even went above and beyond by getting our dog new toys. We felt completely at ease knowing she was in such great hands. We highly recommend Jennifer and look forward to the next time she can babysit our dog!
Tony was absolutely amazing with our two bulldogs, Hendrix and Benny! From the very beginning, he kept us constantly updated and gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. He was incredibly sweet with the boys, spent time playing outside with them, hanging out with them, and genuinely treated them like his own. Hendrix and Benny absolutely adored him, which says everything because they can definitely be stubborn bulldogs 😂. What really meant so much to us was that on the last day, Tony could have left much earlier, but he stayed longer because he didn’t want them to be alone for too long. That level of kindness and care meant the world to us. Tony is smart, trustworthy, kind, and truly amazing with dogs. We are beyond grateful for him and would recommend him to anyone looking for someone who will genuinely love and care for their pets. Thank you so much, Tony!!
Kelsey is the BEST with our dogs. We love having her care for them and will absolutely book her in the future. She's so calm and understanding of our dogs, allowing each of them personal time and affection from her. We're forever grateful we found her on Rover!
Shanise took such good care of my 2 kittens and sent great updates and photos while I was away! She is knowledgeable, responsive, and got along really well with my babies. Even my shy kitten ended up loving her! I would definitely rebook with Shanise in the future!
Dana and her boyfriend Tom were great. Our dog, Sadie, was very comfortable with them and it was obvious that they liked her. Dana is very easy to talk to and was willing to do whatever we asked of her. I recommend Dana to anyone without reservations. We will definitely book her again if we need a sitter for Sadie. It was our first experience with Rover. It was a little confusing for us when we first tried to book Dana but with Dana's guidance it worked out fine.

FAQs for House Sitting - San Dimas
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in San Dimas is $56 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $96 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.
As of October 2026, there are 13,059 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across San Dimas. 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 San Dimas 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 Dimas 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 Dimas 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.
