Flor is amazing. She kept me updated on my girl, and took such good care of her. My dog is very anxious but Flor made her feel comfortable. Definitely will be booking with Flor again!

About: Worked at Horizon Veterinary Hospital, so I’m calm and capable if a crisis comes up. I genuinely love long walks and give each pet individual attention, not just a quick in-and-out. I’ve pet sat for neighbors for years, so I’ve learned how to build trust with many different pets and owners. I also have 3 cats of my own, including one I raised from just a day old, so I understand what it takes to care for pets at every stage of life. I work from home, I can often be right there with your pet in their own space, no long stretches alone! I work from home, so all I need is WiFi, meaning I can be with your pets all day long, not just for quick visits. Your dog or cat gets consistent company and attention throughout the day, not a rushed drop-in. Your home is your pet’s safe space, and I treat it that way! Respectful of your space, mindful of routines, and focused on keeping things calm and familiar while you’re away. With my background at Horizon Veterinary Hospital, I know how to read pets’ body language and stress signals, so I can adjust to make sure they feel comfortable with me from day one. As a cat owner myself ( I have 3 of my own and raised one from just a day old ) I’m especially attentive to the small cues cats give when something’s off, and I bring that same watchfulness to every pet I care for.

About: I was born into a family with Saint Bernards, and over my lifetime have owned seven Saints plus an English Mastiff, a pittie mix, a cat, birds, fish, rodents, reptiles, and horses. I've been described by friends and family as a dog whisperer, and I can't help but make friends with any dog I see. I've been dogsitting for friends and family on the side for years now, doing overnight visits, extended stays, and drop-ins for potty, walks, and meals. I love cats and dogs of all sizes, but I've always had a soft spot for the giant breeds. I was a cross country runner and still live an active lifestyle, so long walks and runs are no problem. I can also do transportation to vet visits, doggy day care or walks at dog parks, etc. I'm looking forward to taking care of your furry family members! I am widely available for scheduling. I have a few steady clients with regular visits, but I can work with you and figure out the best schedule! As a lifelong animal owner, I understand the needs of many animals, as well as the feelings that owners have towards their furry friends. My initial clients were friends, but through the established trust and word of mouth recommendations, that list has grown. When doing overnight or extended stays, I will always bring in the mail, take out the trash, and perform any other household duties you may need. I've cared for sick dogs, handled emergency situations, and taken care of urine and other medical samples for my clients. Whatever you need, I can accommodate.

About: I provide dependable, attentive care for both dogs and cats, with a focus on making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. 🐾 I have experience with dog walking, playtime, feeding, bathing, and general care, as well as cat feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime, and plenty of cuddles when welcomed. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, so I take the time to follow your instructions closely and care for them the way you would. Whether your pet needs energetic playtime, a relaxing walk, quiet companionship, or a professional biscuit-making audience, they’ll receive patient, reliable, and loving care. 🐶🐱💕 I take scheduling and your pet’s routine seriously, and I always do my best to provide dependable, consistent care. 🐾 I work part-time most weekday mornings, but I’m available Tuesday and Thursday mornings and have flexible availability throughout the rest of the week. I’m also very flexible on weekends and holidays. For boarding, I’m happy to coordinate dates and times in advance so everything is clear and organized. You can count on me to communicate openly, arrive as scheduled, and make your pet’s care a priority. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I make sure pets have access to fresh water, are fed properly and on schedule, and are kept in a clean, comfortable environment. I also have experience with crate training and understand the importance of using crates safely and positively. I closely follow each pet parent’s instructions and routines so your furry family member feels secure, cared for, and at home while they’re with me.

About: I have a decade worth of experience caring for my babies. I’ve been referred as an animal whisperer, so I take first impressions very seriously. I am home 24/7, so you can trust that your babies are being attended to during their visit. That also means my schedule is very flexible and I am open to unique situations as well. My babies freely roam my home, but are very disciplined. They’re taken potty/walked ideally every 2 hours. Whatever my client needs, I will make sure I do my upmost to make it happen.

So thankful to have found Leanna & Julio! We had 2 last minute cancelations and they were able to help us out to house and corgi sit our 2 boys within a weeks notice. Leanna was very communicative and immediately put me at ease leaving Stevie & Dexter in her care for a long weekend. I received several videos and loved seeing our pups so happy and getting plenty of walks! I would highly highly recommend Leanna & Julio and will definitely be using them again in the future!

About: I’ve been taking care of animals my entire life. I have a lot of experience with big dogs & I have a pitbull. I know very well how to handle dogs who pull or can be aggressive on walks. I fostered for 3 years with SBCAS & have cared for elderly dogs, dogs with severe injuries, and other serious medical issues. I’ve also taken care of plenty of other animals including cats, rodents, & reptiles. I am trained to handle & administer medical care for cats & dogs by the Ojai Humane Society I work evenings & weekends so I’m free all day to take care of your animals while you’re at the office or out of town. Happy to take your dog on a long walk or hike. I have a high energy dog so I’m used to doing a lot of playing & running if that’s something your dog requires.

Lacey watched our dog at our house while we were gone for a long weekend and was excellent. Our dog had a great time and we felt great knowing that Lacey was taking great care of her, taking her on long walks and giving her lots of love. Lacey is great with dogs and has a calm presence that helps keep our dog mellow. This is our second time having Lacey dog sit and we’ll definitely do it again!

We cannot say enough good things about Gavin! We had a last minute request due to an unexpected death in the family. Our regular sitters were not available but recommended we reach out to Gavin. He responded quickly to our request, taking a huge weight off our shoulders. He communicated frequently with updates and we could see that our girl was getting the best care. We will be reaching out to Gavin again!!

About: Helped take care of a geriatric dog who was incontinent and lost the use of her legs in the last year of her life. I have had animals in my home all my life, from dogs, cats, birds, and lizards. I usually work a couple of days a week for half days at Michaels. I am available for check-ins most mornings and in the afternoons. I live in a condo with tons of space for running around. I have two of my own cats, and any boarders would have to be fine with them. My cats have their space. I respect any habits and boundaries you have at your house for your pet. I can brush and clean up after the pet, and play their favorite game.

About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was 12 years old. It all started with watching my neighbors’ pets—including cats, dogs, a ferret, and even some reptiles. Over the years, I’ve continued to care for pets belonging to friends and family whenever they’re out of town or need help during the day. I also have pets of my own—three cats and one big dog—so I understand the daily care, love, and attention animals need. I have experience with a wide range of animals and genuinely enjoy spending time with them. Caring for pets brings me a lot of joy, and I treat every animal like they’re my own. I am currently working part-time wed/thurs/friday only 6 hrs a day, so I have plenty of time. I also have my husband to take care of my furry animals when I am out busy watching your! ❤️ I don’t offer my home for over night or day care but I am happy to come to your home and take care of your animals.

Ashley was incredible with our little Wallace. She was super communicative and sent sweet little videos of our boy every day. On top of excellent dog-sitting care, Ashley went above and beyond our expectations and tidied up our house so we could come back to a clean home after being away for so long. We already have rebooked Ashley for our next trip, and we are so grateful we found her!

About: I have been a pet sitter since I was in middle school and have had the pleasure and opportunity to care for many different furry companions! I am no stranger to administering medications and have pet-sat many different dogs and cats of all sizes and shapes! I have no issue caring for cats and/or dogs that have any sort of deformities, amputations, or just look weird and funky in general. A dog is still a dog and a cat is still a cat, and every pet deserves love regardless of what they look like! I am currently a college student who loves caring for all kinds of fur babies! You can be sure I will have plenty of time to play with your pups and kittens to their hearts’ content! I’m still getting used to how this app works with its settings, so if you have any questions about pricing and scheduling, shoot me a text so we can discuss it! I'm willing to talk things out if you can't initially afford my rates! ¡También soy fluida en español! My clients will always receive the best care that I can give them. Every animal is different and has different needs, and I am prepared to meet them all! I'll be sure to send pictures and videos regularly of me and your pet(s) having a great time! I'm willing to protect your pet(s) as fiercely as you are, and I will happily administer medications and clean up messes! I take great pleasure and honor in making your best furry friends feel as safe and loved as they would if you were there!

Flor is extremely sweet and dedicated to animals, and responds to their needs promptly and with enthusiasm. She delivered a stellar service taking care of the animals and the plants in the house. She is communicative and sent photos and updates every day of her staying. My cats ended up loving her and never left her side.

FAQs for House Sitting - Santa Paula

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Santa Paula on Rover is $74.93 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 2,138 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Santa Paula. 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 Paula 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 Paula 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 Paula 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 Paula. On Rover:

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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.
