“Joseph has helped us three times now. He house sits for us and he’s always there when he says he will be there. The dogs love him. I feel a peace of mind when he’s stays with them. He sends pictures and updates.”
“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.”
“Lexy is my go to sitter when it comes to my fur baby Midnight! I just went on a long trip and was able to have peace of mind because of Lexy! I trust her to stay at my home and take good care of Midnight !!”
“Hailey is fantastic! She kept us informed and sent pictures of our fur babies (all 5 of them!) She walked the pups daily, and played with them as well (we saw pictures of this). Best of all, we came home to a clean home and happy animals. I would definitely book Hailey again!”
“It is my first time getting this type of service but I had to do it since I traveled on vacation and I contacted Isabella and I must say that it was a very good experience the one I had is very nice patient and loving with our furry, I contacted her for a day and I contacted her again for the second time and excellent in addition to the fact that my dog daughter had babies while I was absent and super patient Isabella I give her a 1,000 out of 10 too grateful to her. I would definitely choose it again on my next visits. Thank you so much”
“Erin is a wonderful dog sitter! She provided excellent communication and care for our boys while we were gone. She also took care of and left our house very clean! I would recommend Erin to anyone who needs a kind and caring dog sitter!”
“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!”
“Alyssa did a great job watching our dogs at our house while we were away. You can tell they were well cared for and happy when we got home. She sent at least one update a day with pictures. Will definitely use her again in the future.”
“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!)”
“I hope Stacy and her family are always available when we need help with our pets, because they put our minds at ease and took care of our fur babies with the greatest of care! We have had many people help us over the years with our pets and she outshined them all! Our pets loved her and I could feel how much she cared for them. Highly recommend!”
“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.”
“Jade was so wonderful and communicative! I was truly able to enjoy my time away knowing that she was taking such good care of my babies, including giving them the medicine they needed! Cannot wait to ask Jade to watch my animals again in the future!”
About: I have been around my dogs my entire life! I have dog sat for friends and family for a few years. I have my own pets and understand how to care for them and be patient. Pet care is part of my daily routine because I currently have two dogs in my household. One of them being a puppy so I understand all stages of pet ownership. In my home I understand the patience and love it takes to care for a pet. I ensure they have balanced meals and long walks. The food I give to them is just as important as the way I care from them.
“Denise have been walking Stella and Milo many times a week and babsitted them in my home a few times in the past few months! I feel very safe knowing she is the one coming, the pups adore her and she always gives a lot of updates/pictures! 🤗”
“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! :)”
“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!”
“Was a lifesaver in helping me out on short notice. Did a great job taking care of my baby. Communicated with me throughout, which was much appreciated. Definitely book her if you need help with your precious dog.”

Erin was great. She was very communicative before and during the sit. She took great care of our two dogs and stayed with them throughout the day. She sent many photos and videos and provided us with updates throughout the day. Our dogs ended up acting up towards the end of her stay and she let us know and handled the situation. We really appreciate her taking care of our dogs. We would welcome her back any time and would highly recommend her.
Nita watched my dog/housesat for over two weeks, while I was on vacation with my family. She did a great job. She provided me with daily updates and pictures and was great at communicating with me regarding any issues, concerns, and overall updates. My house was in perfect order when I returned as well. Thank you for an amazing job! I would definitely rebook with Nita.
I highly recommend Mary!!! She was the best pet sitter and I will definitely use her again in the future! My neighbors would watch my animals but they were not available so I needed to find someone fast. I’ve used ROVER in the past and found Mary Sol’s profile. I sent her a message and She responded quickly and we made plans to meet up. She showed up on time and was so pleasant. I immediately felt comfortable because she was so sweet and warm. I decided to hire her for a week to care for my animals in my home. She took AMAZING care of my 14 year old dog and 2 cats while I was on vacation for a week. She provided detailed updates and went above and beyond to keep my animals happy and healthy and well cared for while I was gone! When I came home my house was in meticulous condition. She removed garbage daily, kept litter boxes super clean, water filters for fountains were changed and water was clean, no issues at all!!! Animals were all in great condition and well maintained for the week I was gone. She communicated well and always kept me updated!!! She’s amazing. I will used her in the future if she’s available. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
Megan was so great with our dog. It was the first time she stayed with him and he was not feeling good but she handled it so well. And she was great at communicating with us. We were so grateful she was there and we will definitely reach out to her again!
Julian did a great job house sitting for us. He met us for a meet & greet beforehand. Took in all the directions in quickly. He was on time and very communicative during the time we were gone. Julian is really nice and we appreciated him staying with our pups. They seem to like him very much. We will be asking him to stay at our house again.
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 !
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!
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.

FAQs for House Sitting - Santa Clarita
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Santa Clarita on Rover is $77.7 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 10,292 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.
