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. 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! Fear Free Leader in Animal Wellbeing graduate. *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.
“Cat Z is a Great Pet Sitter. I received pictures and updates a couple times a day. We were very happy and had a great time in Dallas Wedding. Our home was left clean, dogs were happy and I give her a 10+++++. Thanks Cat.....I will be contacting you soon.. Tonto and Trumps mom and dad.”
“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!”
About: Compassion drives every walk, delivering reliable, personalized care with clear communication, patience, safety, and genuine attention to each dog's unique personality while earning owners' trust. I am currently not working and have plenty of free time. I will be obtaining a full time job for night shift in near future. When caring for pets in a client's home, I treat them as if they were my own. I carefully follow each pet's routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication (if needed), and any special care instructions. I provide plenty of love, attention, and companionship while ensuring they feel safe and comfortable in their familiar environment. I also keep the home clean and tidy by refreshing water bowls, cleaning up after pets, and respecting the client's space. To give owners peace of mind, I provide regular updates and photos so they know their pets are happy, healthy, and well cared for while they're away.
About: I have been caring for animals for most of my life and have experience with dogs, cats, and horses of different ages, sizes, and personalities. Friends, neighbors, family members, and clients have trusted me to care for their pets, provide companionship, maintain routines, and ensure their safety and well-being. I am patient, attentive, and responsible, and I understand how important it is for pets to feel comfortable and loved while their owners are away. I provide plenty of affection, exercise, playtime, and regular updates with photos. My goal is to give every pet the same care and attention I would give my own family. I recently moved to California and am currently building a new chapter in my life. This transition gives me the flexibility to dedicate more time to caring for pets, something that truly brings me joy. I love spending time with animals, getting to know their unique personalities, and making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to adapt to each pet’s routine and needs. I currently provide pet care in my clients’ homes, where pets can remain comfortable in their familiar environment and maintain their regular routines. I understand the importance of trust when caring for both pets and someone’s home. I am responsible, respectful, attentive to details, and committed to following each owner’s instructions carefully. My goal is to provide a safe, calm, and loving experience for every pet while giving their owners peace of mind.
“Madison was an absolute pleasure to have in our home caring for our French Bulldog! We were out of town for two weeks, and she truly treated our home like her own and our pup like royalty. We found Madison through Rover, and as you can imagine, it can be a little nerve-wracking opening your home and trusting your pet with someone new for such a long trip. From the very beginning, Madison completely put us at ease. She proactively reached out before our trip, and we even met ahead of time so everyone could feel comfortable. Our Frenchie was absolutely spoiled with love, attention, and endless pets while we were gone. Madison checked in with us regularly, sent us pictures and updates, and kept our home in meticulous condition. It was such a relief knowing that both our pup and our home were in such great hands while we were away. Madison has such a kind heart, and it’s obvious how much she genuinely loves animals. We came home to a very happy, well-loved pup and a perfectly cared-for home. We are so grateful we found her and will absolutely be using her again. I would recommend Madison without hesitation to any of our friends and family!”
About: Since I was a little kid I’ve always loved pets, I was always the girl whose friends and family say “aw he likes you! He doesn’t really like anybody” about their pets to me. I believe pets feed a lot off of energy and they tend to love me because I have a warm and inviting energy. Because of this friends, roommates and family have entrusted me to feed, clean after, and walk their pets. I’m also a big believer that your pets are like your family and should be treated as such - so I promise to give your furry humans the same care I would give my own pets if I had any myself - I will be like their favorite aunty! I work 40 hours a week during the day and run errands after work before going home to get ready for the next day so it would be best for my schedule to currently do over night sitting when I have the next day off or a few hours on my days off I currently rent a room here in the SCV so I cannot bring pets home..yet. However I am happy to take care of them over night or for a few hours a day in their home. I think that should help with any anxiety some pets may have over being in new places or their family being away for the time being - i believe it will make trust easier with them.
About: Senior dogs and dogs with special needs have a special place in my heart. I take the time to learn each dog’s routine and quirks, moving at their pace and learning what makes them feel safe and comfortable. 〰️ I’ve shared my life with dogs since I was little, growing up with German Shepherds and learning early that every dog has their own personality, preferences, and way of experiencing the world. Every dog has their own way of communicating, and I love taking the time to learn their language; they are conscious, beautiful souls. I also have bachelor’s and master’s degrees in biology, where I was able to study animal behavior and communication. 〰️ I’m based in the San Fernando Valley, and my flexible schedule allows me to serve families throughout the San Fernando Valley, Santa Clarita Valley, and Antelope Valley. My Rover profile may be new, but my experience with dogs isn't; I'd be grateful for the opportunity to meet your best friend. My goal is to learn what makes your dog feel safe, comfortable, and loved, so you can leave knowing they’re with someone who truly enjoys caring for them. When I'm not with the doggies, I'm in the classroom as a substitute teacher in either the AV or SFV. I get to choose when and where I work, allowing me flexibility in my schedule for dog care. I like to spend as much outside time as possible with the dogs (weather permitting) and do mentally stimulating activities (especially with my senior babies). Activities like "where's the toy", "which hand is the treat in", etc. Little things to keep them mentally engaged. I love being outside, and I love long walks, so me and the doggies tend to make a good team.
“Trinity took care of our dog and cat for 2 weeks. She made sure to send me pictures, videos and updates on my girls! I felt like she really cared and treated my babies with lots of love. I will definitely be using her again.”
“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.”
About: I have always had animals since I was a kid and I have always loved them! I love their unconditional connection with us. I have senior dog care and medication administering experience. I am trying something new in my career path, which will hopefully include your pet. I want to work with animals more and turn it into a career. I can't wait to get my steps in with your pet! I have an open schedule at this time. I'm looking to fill my week with regular walks, visits, and boarding. I have three daughters. My oldest actually works as a pet bather with Petsmart and my two younger daughters love animals as much as I do......I've been told by my oldest that I'm not allowed at the animals shelter anymore. 🤣🤣🤣 I live in a mobile home with a fenced yard. I have four of my own fur babies that are welcoming to new visitors. Depending on weather we may go for walks at the park and visit the dog park or play in the backyard or even the house with toys. But as long as it's not too hot or raining we hit the park and dog park.
“So happy to have Lisa watching my 2 pups the last three days. It was our first time with her and won't be the last! I've already booked her again. Lisa was great about communicating with me. She sent an update and pics twice a day without my having to prompt her. She had great rapport with my dogs, even with shy Riley. The house was in great condition when I got home. Lisa really cares about animals and doing a good job. I appreciate all you did while I was gone.”
About: I've been caring for pets for years through my own fur babies (6 year English Bull Dog named Maya and previously a 10 year old boxer named Sugar), as well as helping my friends and family with their fur babies while they're away or helping with walks. I understand how important it is to have someone dependable you can trust to care for pet, and I treat every fur baby with all the love as if they were my own. I'm comfortable and confident with feeding, walks, playtime, administering basic medications if needed, and giving your fur baby plenty of love, attention, and updates while you're away. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, love, happy, and that you have the peace of mind knowing that they're in great hands while you're away. I work remotely and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to spend plenty of times with the pets I'm caring for. While I may occasionally leave for errands or appointments, I have the flexibility to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, and lots of love and attention throughout the day. Safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, preferences, and any special instructions you might have to help them feel comfortable while you're away. When caring for pets in a client's home, I treat both the pets and home with the same respect and care I would expect for my own. My goal is to maintain their normal routine as closely as possible and create a calm, safe environment where they can feel secure and happy until your return.
About: I’ve always been an animal lover and genuinely love caring for pets like they’re my own. I’m patient, attentive, reliable, and big on making sure animals feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their people are away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, feeding, or just keeping them company, I’m happy to give your pet all the attention they deserve. I’m also a mom, so caring for little creatures and keeping a routine is basically my specialty. I have a pretty flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to care for your pets! I’m available during the week and on weekends for walks, drop ins, playtime, and lots of love and attention. I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine as much as possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort are really important to me. I’ll follow your instructions and routines closely, whether I’m caring for them in your home or taking them for a walk. I’m attentive, patient, and will make sure they get plenty of love, attention, and care while you’re away.
About: I grew up with many different animals, including dogs, cats, reptiles, and even a few ducks! Over the years I have taken care many of my friends’/families’ pets and have yet to encounter one that I could not handle. My love for animals stems back to when I was just a kid and I’m happy to say that it has only grown stronger since. I just moved back home from college and work part time as a server (about 20ish hours a week) and have a lot of free time! I like to treat all pets just as I would treat my own: with utmost respect and kindness. If you saw any of my pets now you would see just how spoiled and loved they all are. I promise to provide your best friends with the same care.
“Lexy took great care of our old man. We really appreciate it. She sent us some nice photos, as well. We trusted her to take care of our pup and our home, and we're very happy with her care. Thank you!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Santa Clarita
We had a meet with Hailey before our appointment and after that our minds were put at ease knowing that Hailey would be great for Willow. While we were gone she updated us with messages and photos of Willow. If we need Rover services again, we hope Hailey is available.
Gabriella has been our absolute go-to for housesitting and dog sitting for our two boxers. This past weekend we were away visiting family and we had Gabriella watching the dogs. The power went out all day on Saturday, and she was a complete trooper. Couldn’t have asked for better. Our dogs just love and adore her an when she is at our home, we do not worry!
We had a 16 day cruise planned 1.5 years before we got our dog & two cats. I was so stressed about finding someone to watch our pets & finding someone that could be at our house the majority of the time. My dog is a good boy & does well for a few hours at a time when we need to go somewhere, but we don’t like leaving him all day. Most people need to be gone all day for work so it was difficult finding someone that could accommodate our needs. Nita was able to work remotely the majority of the time & only needed to be gone a few hours at a time, which worked out perfectly for us. We had never been away from our pets before & this trip was going to be for such a long period of time it made it that much more stressful to be leaving them. She stayed one night before our trip to get acquainted with our pets & our home. She sent me texts & photo updates daily. She took excellent care of all our babies. My dog loves to play ball & to interact with us constantly so he requires a lot of attention & Nita was great. Working remotely most of the time allowed her to spend lots of time with our babies. We had a few issues at the house with power going out, an unusual amount of ant invasions throughout & our kitties deciding to use multiple pet beds as their litter box after the first few days. Nita handled all the issues with ease & we were able to come home to a clean house despite all the unexpected mishaps. Nita was a lifesaver. Our pets took a liking to her right away & we will definitely use her again the next time we need to go somewhere.
Brigette was wonderful again with our fur babies and our home. We couldn’t be more happy with her services and the way she cares for our pets. Our home was clean as if she was never here. Book Brigette with confidence, you will be happy you did. Thank you again, Brigette! Until next time.
Yessica is absolutely amazing with our dogs. She was incredibly kind, reliable and made us feel completely at ease leaving them with her. She kept us updated, took great care of everything and you can tell she genuinely loves animals. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will 100% be booking her again. Highly recommend Yessica to anyone looking for someone they can genuinely trust with their pets and home!
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.
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.
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!

FAQs for House Sitting - Santa Clarita
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Santa Clarita is $75 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $116 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 November 2026, there are 10,477 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Santa Clarita. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
