About: I’m very patient, adaptable, and can handle multi-dog households well. Gentle but firm with dogs and cats on boundaries. I have in recent years gained experience as well with handling reactive dogs. Generally overall: Monday - I’m available for walks, check ins and house sitting pets but have a weekly appointment online from 3:30pm - 4:30pm. Tuesday - I have a class from 9am - 11:50am, otherwise I’m available. Wednesday - I’m available outside of a 12pm - 1pm window due to a school commitment. Thursday - I have a class from 9am - 11:50am, otherwise I’m available. Friday - I have another class from 9am - 2:50pm otherwise I’m able to work on this day. Saturday - I’m available with no time frame restrictions Sunday - from 5pm to 8pm I have a virtual social commitment otherwise I am able to work this day I will follow the routine and/or instructions given to me, ensure I have them written down in my notes for ease of access. As well as during walks I’m very observant and firm to ensure the pet is happy on top of being safe as to keep an eye out for loose dogs or potential stressors. If desired I can send daily photos of your pet(s) and give you updates. I will also as direct questions to ensure clarity on what the boundaries are for you, your pet, and house rules if sitting. If I am unsure on something I will ask to ensure we are on the same page rather than assume.
About: Hiya! I’m Nikki and I have two dogs myself, Biko and Boba, that I’ve raised from babies. My pups are very friendly and like meeting new dogs to see and play with. I’d love to get out more to walk your dogs and hang out with them. I’ll even run with them if you’d prefer. There’s also a dog park nearby my house so I can let them run around off leash too! I’ll do my best care for your precious dogs and make them feel as loved as possible. I do childcare on the weekdays and wouldn't mind watching your pets on the weekends so you can spend the night out and have a worry free weekend. I grew up taught to respect any space that I am welcomed into. I promise to keep your spaces as tidy and clean as you've left it and would not touch anything that I am not allowed to.
“Cassidy was very sweet, caring and patient with my senior beagle. She was patient and followed all instructions. She communicated regularly and sent photos and videos. I have already requested another booking with her. I recommend Cassidy for your pet.”
“I hired Kaylee to sit at my home with my Belgian Malinois with separation anxiety. I appreciate her quick responses thru the Rover App, and her willingness to arrive for an early morning appointment. We will definitely call Kaylee again in the near future.”
About: I’ve had experience taking care of pets since I was really young and still take care of my current dog who is 15 years old. I’ll make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable, will follow your care instructions exactly and if there are any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to let me know! Although I’m a student, I currently have a lot of free time so taking care of your pet is something I look forward to doing! I’ve had plenty of experience with pets at home since I was very young and enjoy having a pets’ company! :) I’ll make sure that they have a comfortable and safe time.
“Ebonnie was great with our two pups! They are a bit rambunctious and she did well with them. She kept in touch while we were away and updated us when we asked. She is respectful and sweet. I already have her booked for a trip in September!”
“Did a great job with my fur babies. She sent me pics and updates of them. My dogs loved her and I would definitely rebook her for the next time I have a trip away. She did a great job!!”
“Averie did a great job pet setting for our 18 year old dog Remy. She provided a calm, nurturing presence for him that made him feel comfortable. I would highly recommended Averie for house sitting/pet sitting.”
About: Of all animals I have the most experience with dogs. I love dogs all shapes and sizes We've always had a dog at home and I have lots of experience, caring for playing with and walking dogs, including bath time. I'm a recent graduate of heritage high school. I took agriculture at school and worked with the animals on our school farm I'm looking to do rover as often as possible. I don't have any other obligations at this time. So I can dedicate myself to your pets. I am very careful about fences and doors. I'm mindful of owner instructions regarding where their pets can be. And where they are not allowed. I am mindful of them while they are eaten. And while they are playing, to make sure that they remain safe. I checked the pavement before I take a dog out on walks to make sure it's not too hot and always make sure to wash their bowls so that I can help prevent bacteria
“It was a real comfort to have Hayley house and dog sitting for us while we were all the way across the country. She sent pictures and answered messages very quickly. She also went the extra mile and even watered plants on hot days. Most importantly, we returned to two happy and healthy dogs. Will definitely call Hayley next time we're out of town.”
About: Can soothe anxious pets and pet parents:) I have taken care of dogs, cats, chickens, bunnies, snakes, and fish. I have a very flexible schedule. Experience pet-sitting, babysitting, house-sitting, waitressing, cleaning, and organizing. Some past roles include policy advocate for CALPIRG, field manager for Environment California, notary, accounting clerk, waitress, child caregiver, and volunteer for Ramona Humane Society animal shelter. I’m currently working part time in Hemet Monday-Thursday until 5pm. However, my job is extremely flexible and I am able to accommodate any schedule. Pets are always kept nearby, fed, groomed, healthy, and happy:) Feeding schedules met in a timely manner, personalizing play time to the specific pet, car available if transportation is needed.
“I am so happy my first choice for a dog sitter was Stephine and Jon. I had never left my fur babies with a sitter before, so I was nervous but Jon and Stephine put me at ease right away with pictures and text messages. They stayed in our home and left it like we never left. Lucy and Molly kept looking for them when we got home!”
“Kaylah was awesome with both our cat and dog. She was very attentative and had much concern about our cat not eating the first 24 hours. But, the situation resolved with Kaylah’s attempts to make the cat comfortable with her. 😃 She is the first to follow feeding instructions and found our home very clean. She is highly recommended that I’ve already booked her for our next trip.”
“Daniel was amazing and treated my pup with a lot of love. She has high anxiety and needs constant attention and he supplied it! He gave me multiple updates and a lot of photos throughout the day. I will be using him again soon and highly recommend him.”
“Adam was able to accept a last minute overnight job which was a vacation-saver. He is the best dog sitter! He took Arnie on very long walks, followed all my instructions to a tee and was communicative with texts and pictures. He will be my go-to Rover sitter from now on!”

About: I’ve spent years caring for animals of all ages and temperaments, from energetic puppies to mental senior dogs.

I’m confident with feeding routines, enrichment, medication administration and understanding the body language of animals.

“Kaylee is wonderful. She met our small zoo before our booking day and spent a good amount of time with them. Our pets love her and she made us feel at ease about leaving them. Our newly adopted dog fell in love with her from the get go! She has a way with animals that will put your mind at ease. We are excited to plan more outings since we found her.”

Kaylah stayed at my house and took care of my fur babies, all of them! She was on time arriving and followed each of my details regarding their park time (inside complex) and their feeding. Once I seen her taking them out at 6:00 AM each day, I was able to enjoy my time away. They warmed up to her and snuggled with her. I appreciate her care and I would use her again. Thanks Kaylah
Johana took care of our husky Koa while we were in Hawaii and she was phenomenal. She stayed in our home, followed every instruction to a T, and the house was spotless when we got back. This was the first time Johana had watched Koa. And although she came by a couple of times before our trip, Koa was still super shy and apprehensive. But this is his typical personality. It's like the movie with Adam Sandler, "50 First Dates". It takes 50 first dates for him to finally warm up. And usually in the morning, he has amnesia and can't remember that he was warming up the day before. LOL But Johana was very patient, tried different techniques to build trust with him, and by day 4 she'd earned enough of his confidence that he let her take him on a real walk. If you know huskies, that is not easy to pull off. She sent updates and pictures every single day. We'd wake up in Hawaii to photos of Koa and it made the whole trip better knowing he was loved and well taken care of. She even left us a Polaroid, a really sweet touch. If you need someone trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely great with dogs, especially ones that take a minute to warm up, Johana is who you want. We highly recommend her and will most definitely be using her again in the future.
Debbie was an amazing care giver for King. She is kind and gentle, and showed a genuine love for King. Debbie was very conscious and intentional with everything she did with and for King. He was on eye drops for an infection and she was very consistent in keeping his schedule. I was very pleased with the level of care she provided, and I appreciate the way she respected my home. She was clean and everything was in place when I returned. Will definitely use her again!

FAQs for House Sitting - San Jacinto
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in San Jacinto on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 1,627 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across San Jacinto. 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 Jacinto 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 Jacinto 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 Jacinto 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.

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.
