“It was our first time ever leaving our 2-year-old Yorkie, Harlow Jean, with a pet sitter, so you can imagine how nervous we were. My husband and I treat her like our baby, and we’re extremely particular about her care. We have strict meal schedules, detailed safety routines, and are especially careful about keeping her secure inside the house since there are multiple doors leading outside. I left Tami what felt like a small book instead of a simple instruction sheet, and I was honestly a little embarrassed. I remember thinking that if someone handed me that list in an unfamiliar house, I’d probably be overwhelmed. But not Tami. She followed every single instruction perfectly. Tami is a true professional who genuinely cares about animals. She respected our home, made the entire experience completely stress free, and sent us daily updates and adorable photos of Harlow Jean, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We couldn’t be happier that we found her, and she will be the only person we trust with Harlow Jean from now on. If you’re looking for someone who will care for your pet with the same love, attention, and dedication that you do, look no further. I rarely take the time to write reviews, but Tami absolutely deserves this one. Thank you, Tami !”
“Always a pleasure having Cat watch our pups - our 2 dogs love her. We also really appreciate that she leaves the house clean just as we left it. Very kind and considerate - highly recommend!”
About: I love animals; always have! I used to come home from school and do homework in front of Animal Planet and when it wasn't doing that I was taking care of my neighbor's pets. They had cats, dogs and horses and I looked forward to it every time. My responsibilities included walking, playing, feeding and even reading to them (which I have on good authority was very adorable). I'm very excited to take care of your fur babies for you now! *Ask me about Active & Running services* **Ask me about Pet Portraiture Add-ons** I am currently taking online classes and looking forward to being with animals when I can part time. I am looking forward to meeting new pets and taking care of them in between bouts of homework and studying. I am available for most services! Including drop-in check-ins, letting dogs out to do their business or go on walks or play with your pets. I'm also available to pet-sit and keep them company while they relax in their space. After meeting your pets and learning their specific and unique needs, likes or dislikes, I am available to feed, walk, play most days.
“Kristine did a wonderful job caring for all of our pets! We have two dogs, a cat, and two hens -- and she took wonderful care of them while we were gone. She sent photos and videos every day, and let us know when they were fed. I never worried about them because she kept us updated so well. I will definitely be turning to Kristine to take care of our pets in the near future!”
“Isabella was beyond incredible with my four-year-old husky. She took the time and effort to make sure my husky was well stimulated and exercised. Isabella is great at communication, sending photos and updates throughout the day. She also took care of my house and followed the rules. Isabella also went above and beyond and helped Nyra get more comfortable being in a crate. I highly recommend her services!!”
“Cameron was a fabulous dog sitter, all 3 of our dogs loved him and were very well taken care of. He was able to follow all the instructions easily (for our older pet) and it felt very effortless to have him here, I felt so relieved to have found a reliable dog sitter for our beloved babies!”
“Graham was fantastic. Very personable, great with our pup, Midna, and he's an excellent communicator. He showed up early to meet us and Midna immediately loved him. We felt very comfortable trusting him with our dog and our home. We will happily use Graham again, and highly recommend him to anyone who wants someone trustworthy and kind to watch their pup. (Thanks Graham!)”
About: i! My name is Angela, and I have had dogs my entire life. Growing up around dogs has given me a deep understanding of their needs, personalities, and the love and attention they deserve. I truly love dogs and enjoy spending time with them, whether it's going for walks, playing, or simply keeping them company. I recently graduated from college, which means I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of free time to dedicate to caring for your pets. This allows me to provide reliable attention, supervision, and companionship to ensure your dog feels comfortable and cared for while you're away. I understand that pets are family, and I will treat your dog with the same love, kindness, and care that I would give my own. My goal is to make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and loved at all times. I am responsible, trustworthy, and committed to providing a positive experience for both you and your pet. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! Since I recently graduated from college, I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the week. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I enjoy staying active and spending time with animals. I am available for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and providing companionship during both weekdays and weekends. I can easily adjust my schedule to meet your pet's needs and make sure they receive the attention, care, and love they deserve while you are away. The safety and well-being of every pet is my top priority. I have my own dog, who is a beloved member of my family, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. Caring for my own dog has given me experience with daily feeding routines, walks, exercise, playtime, and providing lots of love and attention.
“Excellent caretaker of our old blind dog! Our dog requires a lot of care and is diabetic requiring insulin. Gabriela made sure that she was ok and communicated with us the entire time away. We travel a lot for work and it’s comforting knowing we have someone that we can trust to help us care for our elderly dog!”
“Kaitlin was wonderful with Lucky! She is very punctual and responsible, and made sure to listen to Lucky's needs. She took very good care of him, and I was all relaxed when I was out. I will definitely get her again!”
“Kimberly did a great job. She had to manage two large dogs over three days. The house and the pups were well cared for. I asked Kimberly to abide by some fairly strict rules with the dogs in order to manage their high-energy and potential anxiety and she did an excellent job. Kimberly have our pups multiple daily walks, administered pet medication, and maintained the security of the house. I strongly recommend Kimberly for your pet/house sitting needs.”
“We’ve used Yessi multiple times and we continue to feel so comfortable having her in our home looking after Frankie. I definitely recommend her if you’re looking for a trusted sitter for your precious pup!”
About: Hi I'm Nita! Over the last 23 years I've had the pleasure of caring for the pets of loved ones, neighbors, and even my own. I'm experienced in short and long term sitting, walking services, medication management and injections, and of course playtime. Your pet's wellbeing is my priority and you can leave them in capable hands and enjoy peace of mind knowing they're receiving the love, attention, and expert care they deserve. Contact me today and ask any questions regarding availability or care for your furry friend.🐾 I'm currently a freelance worker and work mostly remote meaning that I can be available to pet sit or walk with the flexibility that you're seeking. I am extremely respectfully of others' property and dwellings. I want to create a comfortable environment for your fur babies, which is why I prefer to do onsite pet sitting at the clients' homes.
“We will definitely hire Caitlyn again. She handled 4 senior dogs and 1 energetic five year old dog beautifully. The seniors all require medications, one needs insulin injections, so ya, she handled a lot, reported on how they were, walked them. We couldn’t be more pleased.”
About: I've been sitting big breed dogs and have had them since I was a kid. If I could, I would have a dozen of them, but for now, I will babysit your dog. I work from home, and my partner also has a flexible schedule, so they are usually around too, providing your dog with companionship, attention, and supervision throughout the day. Walks, backyard playtime, enrichment, and plenty of snuggles are part of my daily routine. We value kindness, inclusivity, respect, and emotional safety. Our home is a judgment-free zone for people and pets. I have a fenced yard, nothing to jump off, and a friendly rescue yellow Labrador/pittie mix who loves to play with dog visitors. He is also great at reading dog body language and at giving new visitors their space until they are ready to engage. I’m experienced with dogs who have restrictions - physical, food sensitivities or allergies - or just need extra time settling in. As a former volunteer with Southern California Labrador Rescue, I fostered and pulled dogs from shelters. I understand the unique needs — and big hearts — that often come with rescue dogs. I love both in-home boarding and house sitting. Staying in a client’s home gives me a peaceful change of scenery for my writing and allows dogs to stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I’m available to house sit throughout Southern California. I work from home full-time, Monday-Friday. On weekends, we typically garden, cook, and go for walks or hikes. Snuggles, backyard playtime, and lots of interaction time are a critical part of my day with your dog. I am a homeowner with a fenced yard in a gated neighborhood, a rescue mutt to keep your dog company, and a cat. My teenager is also a dog lover who spoils our Charlie. Dogs are allowed on the furniture and on the bed. I have dog beds, lots of water bowls, and time for pets. Our dog is a big hunk of love at 116 lbs, and I have always had big dogs. He LOVES having dog friends at the house.
“Randy did a great job of taking care of our Golden, Bertie. It was Bertie’s first time with a sitter or dog walker and she was well taken care of Thanks Randy. We will rebook soon.”
“Madalyn was fantastic with our pup, Midna (who absolutely loved her). She’s highly communicative, showed up on time, very sweet, and knowledgeable. Our pup is very high energy and Madalyn knew exactly how to calmly handle her. We couldn’t be happier to have found her. We highly recommend her.”

Hailey did a fantastic job taking care of Theo while we were away for 10 days. She kept us updated with photos and messages, and it was clear Theo was happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. We came home to a relaxed, happy pup, and we couldn't have asked for a better sitter. We'd absolutely book with Hailey again and highly recommend her!

Brigette watched our active Aussie overnight at our house for a week. She sent amazing photos (ha she’s really good at taking photos) and even videos and really spent time playing with and getting to know our dog, I could tell by some of the cute things she’s told me in the daily summary she sent! We also had some strawberries and side patio plants that needed watered every day and she even helped with that and we returned to a spotless house (which is hard to do by the amount that our dog sheds)! It’s clear to me that Brigette is very much an animal lover. When we first met her she had a lot of questions and wanted to make sure she kept our dog’s schedule too. We had the best vacation knowing we didn’t have to worry about our baby at home! Thank you Brigette!
Allisa is the best ever pet sitter you'll ever find! Our dog did zoomies just because she was so excited to see Allisa! I NEVER have any concerns at all when Allisa cares for Zoey, and Zoey has a complicated food and medication routine. You'll be delighted with her. And she's a great photographer as well. In fact, my cell phone wallpaper is a photo Allisa took!
Caroline did an amazing job! She was faced with unexpected challenges of dealing with our dog (who is afraid of water, even in the form of lawn sprinklers) during a week of drenching rain! And Zoey also has some special needs in terms of eating five times daily and getting medication twice daily. Caroline was exceptional in following Zoey's schedule. Also, she gave us regular updates (and sent some amazing photos). We'd highly recommend Caroline!
Viviana is a thoughtful, responsible, and loving dog sitter. One of my dogs can be finnicky with people she just meets, but she immediately loved Viviana (and this says a lot!) Viviana thoughtfully cared for my dogs and catered to their individual needs - a senior dog who has frequent accidents and a needy dog who loves companionship and walks. Viviana sent pictures of the dogs to us every day and provided updates. She is very responsible, communicative, and accommodating. I highly recommend Viviana. You will love her - and your pets will too! :)
Syndee was incredible! I felt zero worries while in another country because Syndee took that stress me. Thank you Syndee for loving on my babies while we were on holiday! She went above and beyond and when cleaned the house and washed the sheets so we came home to a spotless home from a long day of travel! We appreciate you Sydnee! Great job and definitely will be rebooking with Sydnee in our future travel plans!
Flannery was great with our geriatric ECENTRIC furkids. They are old and needy. She did great taking care of each of their needs. Send lots of pictures and videos each day for check-ins. Made it much easier to relax and enjoy our vacation knowing they were all doing so well.
I couldn’t have been happier with Sara. She came to the rescue on my tough situation. Zeus needed eyes on him every second of the day and Sara was up for the task. She truly cares and has a passion caring for animals. Making sure the animals are stress free and more important make me feel less stressful with the situation while I was at work. I highly recommend Sara.
Rosemary is truly an exceptional dog sitter. From the start she was kind, considerate and incredibly accommodating, even stepping in on short notice which was such a lifesaver. She has a warm, loving presence and gave my pup so much care and attention. Her great attention to detail and thoughtful communication, with regular updates and adorable pictures, gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. When I returned from my weekend trip, my dog was honestly disappointed to see me instead of Rosemary, which says it all. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate and attentive sitter.

FAQs for House Sitting - Santa Clarita
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Santa Clarita on Rover is $80.2 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 10,468 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Santa Clarita. 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 Santa Clarita 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 Santa Clarita 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 Santa Clarita 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 Santa Clarita. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
