“We've gone with Vanessa to house-sit our Jack Russell Terrier, Maddie multiple times now and she's the best! She's quick to respond to texts and always leaves the place neat and clean. She also sends us texts and pictures of Maddie while we're gone which we love. Knowing Maddie is with Vanessa while we're gone makes our trips 100 times more enjoyable. She's awesome!”
About: I am now a pet groomer. In my daily work, I can come into contact with various dogs. I know their personality traits and things to pay attention to. Every dog is unique. We must understand and love him. Master basic dog training techniques. The safety of your dog comes first at all times I work as a groomer three to four days a week and am available to take care of dogs in my free time, especially on weekends and evenings. I can spend time with your dog and offer grooming and care advice. Safety and compassion are my top priorities. Please rest assured that leaving your dog with me will keep her active and happy. When we visit dogs at home, we will communicate with the dog owners in advance, play with the dog in a designated area, and play games with the dog according to its preferences to keep the dog active and healthy.
“Viky was a really amazing house sitter for my cats! She was even able to clip their nails! I got many updates and she was really communicative. I will definitely be hiring her for house sitting in the future.”
“Kevin took wonderful care of our dog, Watson, while we were away from June 25 to July 2. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. He took Watson on walks to parks and trails, played ball with him using a long leash so he could safely enjoy the feeling of being off leash, followed all of our feeding instructions, and kept us updated with photos and messages throughout our trip. We always felt connected and knew Watson was in great hands. What impressed us most was how observant Kevin was. Everything he told us about Watson matched his personality perfectly, which reassured us that he was truly paying attention and getting to know him as an individual. It’s clear that Kevin understands dogs, genuinely cares about them, and gives them the love and attention they deserve. We came home to a happy, healthy dog, and that says everything. We highly recommend Kevin and would absolutely trust him with Watson again.”
“This is our second time booking with Jessica and we couldn't be happier and more assured with our decision to book again. We've had several sitters over the years as we've moved in different cities and Jessica is by far the most conscientious, caring and considerate sitter we've had. We have a kitty with kidney disease and she went above and beyond in being attentive to her needs and making sure she was as comfortable while we were away. She is highly dependable and a great communicator. Our other pets have come to love and trust her and she treats them like her own. We were away for a few weeks and even seemed like our house was cleaner than when we left it. Thanks, Jessica, for being so amazing - our family truly appreciates it!”
“We highly recommend Nataly for all your dog sitting needs! She is amazing with our pup Charlie and is great at sending updates every few hours. She truly does a great job with our baby. Thank you Nataly!!”
“Tamar was fantastic with my four-year-old husky. She has a husky herself so she understood the nuances.She was very attentive and stayed for long periods of time. She sent a lot of pictures and updates. The communication is superb and follow up was really appreciated. Tamar was very respectful of my house, I definitely recommend using Tamar for housesitting.”
“we had Celest housesit with our slightly anxious and shy pup, Nebula and would gladly have her back with us! Celest was communicative from the first meet and greet to the day of the sit. we received photos and updates. when we got home, it was clear that Nebula had gotten very comfortable and cozy despite her initial apprehension. i really appreciated Celest’s gentle, patient demeanor with Nebula 🥹💛 thank you!!”
“Chris was absolutely amazing! She house sat and dog sat our 2 little dogs for two weeks and within that time she quickly developed a wonderful relationship with the dogs. She sent daily updates and photos, and her comments were always thoughtful and gave us great peace of mind. Chris really does care about the animals she looks after! she was a wonderful house guest, and everything was clean and tidy when we returned home. We will definitely use Chris again!!”
About: I’ve had my first pet since I was 8 and I’ve loved animals ever since I could remember. I had my first dog walking job in my early 20s when I was in college and my first dog bestfriend was a Shiba Inu. I literally loved him like he was my own. I took him everywhere and anywhere that I went. I helped raised and trained him since he was 6 months old up until he was 7. Unfortunately, our journey had to come into an end when I had to move states for my first career out of college. Now that I’m back home in Cali, I’ve been yearning for another dog best friend or few. Sadly, where I currently live doesn’t allow for dogs on the premises so I’d be happy to go wherever to take care of your furry loved one! My experience includes basic obedience skills such as training and leash manners. **I am also extremely protective of your animals so I won’t take them where I know they could potentially be in danger or in harm.** *I am very communicative and will send pics when you’re away! I am available on the weekends, evenings, and holidays! I am sometimes free during mid afternoons. I am also available to board if when it is requested. I like to make sure that I am in constant communication with every pet’s owners. My preference is that I am provided with a list of do’s and don’ts. Otherwise I like to maintain a clean environment and make sure all animals are fed based on the schedule and amount that the owner provides. I like to be in constant observance of all animal’s habits in case for any changes of health or behaviors and I make sure to maintain a healthy amount of affection based on each animal’s needs.
“Like a family friend from the very first meet. Lanaye fit in instantly. Our dog who has her quirks took to her immediately. Trustworthy, responsible, respectful and communicative, Lanaye is awesome!”
About: With over 30 years of personal experience caring for my own cats and a history of looking after friends' dogs while they travel, I know exactly how much love, attention, and peace of mind your pets need when you can't be there.Whether it's maintaining your cat's specific daily routine or ensuring your pup gets their necessary exercise and companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own. You can count on me to provide safe, reliable, and deeply affectionate care. I am a recent retiree and home full-time, which makes me an ideal sitter for kittens and cats, or a walker for puppies, seniors, or dogs needing extra attention. Caring for pets requires maintaining their routines and ensuring a safe environment, whether I am walking them or performing home visits. I tailor my approach around strict safety and clear communication.I send photo updates and message logs to give you peace of mind while you are away.
About: My jack russell terrier has been training me to take care of energetic dogs since I was 12 and I’ve even helped my neighbors with dog sitting for vacations, as well as many, many walks with all various types of dogs from puppies to elderly and little to big dogs 🫶🏻 Hoping to manage my pet care time with a high majority of my week to help pay for college over the summer! From morning walks to afternoon walks as well as house sitting, making sure the dog stays active while also receiving ALOT of love is my natural daily routine as a jack russell owner! The pet’s safety and happiness are always my top priorities and I’ll make sure to keep your home clean and secure while making sure your pet receives exercise, lotssss of affection, and its also important to me that ill keep the owner updated with little updates about how their best friend is doing!
“Chelsea is the best! We’ve had many sitters over the years, but our current pet mix requires someone special. We have a 16-year-old chihuahua with multiple meds and a very specific routine, and a barely 1-year old male golden retriever. On top of that, it was pouring rain, making puppy exercise really difficult. She has strong communication skills, sending us regular updates and pictures. Chelsea was creative in problem solving and we never worried! Our dogs were happy and our home was in one piece upon return.”
“I'm delighted to share that Katherine provided outstanding care for our whippet, Finn. Her commitment was evident as she went above and beyond, even staying overtime to ensure Finn's well-being until we returned. We greatly appreciate her dedication and highly recommend her as a reliable and caring dog sitter.”
About: I love dogs! They have been a part of my life for more than 22 years. I have had the pleasure of raising our family dogs to my own set of fur babies. Life is more enjoyable with pets! As a pet parent, I know how challenging it can be to find someone to care for your pups, since no one loves them like you do. Let me help take some of the stress out of pet care. I provide convenient, reliable, and safe dog walking/boarding services. I have experience helping with crate and potty training, administering medication, and rubbing bellies. From pups to senior dogs, I tailor my care to their needs. All breeds are welcomed for walking services and pet sitting; small to medium breeds are welcomed for boarding. Look forward to hearing from you! I am currently working part-time and have a flexible schedule when it comes to pet care. I can provide morning, afternoon and evening walks as needed. I am able to board dogs any day of the week and can provide house sitting services with advance notice. I have two dogs at home who are playful and friendly, and a cat that knows she is the queen of her domain. My dogs are crate trained and have access to the house whenever my wife or I are home. Your dogs can expect to have a safe environment, companionship, with regular walks. I live in a very dog friendly neighborhood, a short drive from a very nice dog park.
About: Like many pet lovers know, animals have a good radar for caring people. Often animals approach me, because they know I pay attention and feel safe. I also work very well with senior pets and those needing medical care. I am an educator, researcher and program evaluator, who works from home a couple times a week. I teach educators, high school, and college students. I conduct research on well-being and school success. Furthermore I evaluate health and educational programs. I am a published author and lead a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization supporting student mental health and success. I believe that pets will indicate their wants preferences and needs. Furthermore, I also believe that pet owners, for the most part, are most informed on the best way to keep their animals happy and healthy. Therefore I always follow the lead of pet owners and make sure to establish a secure relationship with the animals I have the honor of working with.

Emily was just fantastic. She came in on short notice and cared for a cat that needed medicines, and a dog that needed lots of exercise. She was an excellent communicator and offered to stay to give instructions to the next house sitters coming in. I would ask her to come back in a heartbeat. I am very appreciative of her extra effort. Thank you Emily!
Shelby obviously has a ton of experience taking great care of both cats and dogs. She made herself available within 3 days notice and was very knowledgeable, kind and caring. She even sent me photos of my fur babies during the day. I highly recommend Shelby for dog walks and pet sitting. I will definitely tap on her again.
Kevin was absolutely amazing. I have multiple animals, and each one has their own personality, routines, and individual needs, so finding someone I genuinely trust with all of them isn't easy. Kevin was incredibly compassionate, patient, and attentive with every single one of them. I could tell he really took the time to understand each animal rather than just going through the motions of feeding and caring for them. He was also extremely respectful of my home and left everything clean and well cared for. Communication was great, he was dependable, and I felt completely comfortable knowing my animals and my home were in his hands while I was away. That peace of mind is honestly priceless when you have animals who require a little extra care and attention. It's very clear that Kevin genuinely cares about animals and takes the responsibility of caring for someone else's pets and home seriously. I came home to happy, well-cared-for animals and a home that had been treated with respect. I wouldn't hesitate to have him stay again and would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and responsible house and pet sitter.
Tamar was fantastic with my four-year-old husky. She has a husky herself so she understood the nuances.She was very attentive and stayed for long periods of time. She sent a lot of pictures and updates. The communication is superb and follow up was really appreciated. Tamar was very respectful of my house, I definitely recommend using Tamar for housesitting.
another wonderful housesit with Celest! we needed someone to housesit for us on the afternoon and evening of our wedding reception and thankfully, Celest was able to! she was on time, responsive, and forth coming in all her communications with us and sent photos throughout the night. she has such great calm energy that Nebula really responds to. we returned home to a very happy dog and tidy house. we appreciate you, Celest! thanks again!
Was our first time using Chloe and she stayed 4 days with our fur baby! We were so happy with her and she spoiled him with daily walks, cuddles and playtime! She sent pictures of him and he always looked so happy with her. She went beyond what we asked and came home to a happy boy and a clean house. ( which wasn’t expected)
Joliana was so wonderful with our cat, Siri! We are always a little nervous to leave our elderly girl who has some light separation anxiety, and needs daily medication, but Joliana did great! She sent photos daily and assured us that Siri was relaxing and had no problem taking her medication. Joli also left our home in great condition. We would definitely hire her again in the future.

FAQs for House Sitting - Sierra Madre
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Sierra Madre is $49 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $128 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 October 2026, there are 14,838 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Sierra Madre. 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 Sierra Madre 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 Sierra Madre 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 Sierra Madre 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.

- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
