“Cassandra is wonderful! She is very responsive and on top of communicating regularly and providing updates. She clearly made both of our dogs feel comfortable and works really well even with our more anxious pup. She followed all care and related instructions perfectly!”
“Christina was amazing, I came home to happy and tired dogs. I appreciated how much she communicated through the stay when things changed and that she sent me updates like I requested. I always get a little nervous leaving my dogs but they looked so happy on the walks it made me really enjoy my vacation knowing they were in good hands.”
“Erin was wonderful and I’d love to have her back. My cat has had a lot of health issues going on recently and I was very nervous going out of town but felt so much better knowing that he’d be in safe hands! She was a great communicator, very reliable, and my cat was kept healthy and happy. Thanks so much Erin!”
“Bridget was perfect and made us feel so comfortable, knowing our Great Dane was in such caring and attentive hands while we were away. She followed our instructions to a T, was punctual, and very responsive. Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter!”

“Mary did an excellent job caring for our 2 dogs and cat while we were away for the weekend. She is an excellent communicator, follows all instructions and gave our babies so much love! Will be booking her again :)”

“Giovanny was awesome! He was kind, respectful and communicative. He was great with our pup. He followed our instructions and our pup loved him. We were even running late to get back home on time and Gio stayed until we returned. Highly recommend!”
“Mabel loves Jack so much! He does such a great job keeping her routine, he very attentive to her and always makes sure she is taken care of no matter what is going on. He always takes such good care of her and she is so comfortable with him because of it. He also did a great job sending me lots of pictures and videos which helped me relax while I was away.”
“Kelsi is great! She stayed at my home with my pup all day while I was out of town. She sent me updates and pictures of my pup which I really appreciated. She did great following his routine and accommodating to my pups behaviors. Overall Kelsi is kind and caring and I’m hoping to book her again soon!”
“This was our first sit with Jordan and it was great! We booked last minute but Jordan was great about doing a meet and greet with us on short notice. Petunia took easily to Jordan and my wife and I felt good knowing she was in good hands. Jordanwas great about keeping us updated throughout the day and sending pictures of Petunia. We will definitely be keeping Jordan in mind for our future pet sitting needs.”
About: I’ve always grown up around dogs. My favorite breed are pitbull but I have two beagles at the moment. I’ll obey any instructions you have for your pet, I do my best not to feed into bad dog behaviors. I’ve taken care of my family members dogs and multiple dogs at once. I’m good at cleaning up after dogs too. I’m currently studying for my CPA exams, so pet care will easily fit into my weekly routine. I prefer to walk any animal before the sunsets, but being at someone’s home is fine any time. I’m good at cleaning up after animals and myself. I have two beagles so I prefer not to do anything at my house. But I’m more than willing to take care of any pets at their house.
About: I’ve spent over a decade in hospitality and operations, running shifts at places like Starbucks and a local beer lab, which basically means I’m used to juggling a hundred things at once while staying calm, warm, and on schedule. Turns out that’s great training for dog care too: reading personalities fast, sticking to routines, and making sure everyone (two legs or four) feels comfortable in a new environment. I’ve got a dog of my own, so I know the drill: the 6am zoomies, the separation anxiety whining, the food that “definitely doesn’t cause gas.” Whether your pup is a couch potato, a chaos gremlin, or somewhere in between, I’ll treat them like they’re already part of the household. Ten-plus years in hospitality means I’m used to following exact protocols and communicating clearly, and I apply that same discipline to pet care. Safety and consistency come first, in my home or yours. I keep a calm, predictable environment because cats do best with routine, so I stick to feeding times, litter maintenance, and any specific instructions you give me exactly as written, no improvising.
“Karen stayed for a week with my two high energy Havanese. She was terrific from start to finish. She was responsive and proactively sent photos of them to me throughout my trip. My dogs are basically my children so I’m pretty particular and Karen checked all the boxes. We will definitely use her again!”
About: I’m a dog lover with years of hands-on experience caring for pets for family and friends through house sitting, walks, drop-in visits, and feeding schedules. I previously owned a beautiful Belgian Shepherd named Izzy, who was my adventure buddy for many years. After recently losing her, I’ve found a lot of joy in spending time with and caring for other people’s furry companions. I currently work a hybrid schedule, which gives me flexibility during the day to stop by for potty breaks, walks, playtime, or just some extra company and attention while you’re away. Whether your pet needs a long walk, overnight care, or someone to check in and make sure they’re comfortable, I’m happy to help. As a former dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to know your pet is in good hands. My goal is to help give you peace of mind while also giving your pets the love, care, and attention they deserve. I’m excited to meet you and your furry family members while earning a little extra income doing something I genuinely enjoy. I'm available to stay overnight at your home Fridays - Tuesday evenings. I have a hybrid work schedule so I am available to drop in during the workday to provide any walks or potty breaks that are needed. I'm unavailable to pet sit, walk, or do drop-ins on Wednesdays and Thursdays. I can spend the night at your home to help ensure your furry companion doesn't experience separation anxiety. I've spent time walking dogs of all sizes, and I make sure to learn any triggers your animals may have before taking them on walks. I'll send photos of your animals while you're away to help you feel at peace and enjoy your vacation or work trip!
“Quinny and Rocky had a wooferful time with Victoria. She was very attentive to our spoiled springers and communicated with us regularly. We will hire Victoria in the future!”
“This review is LONG overdue - but I wish I could give Kate 200 stars! She was awesome! Our house/dog sitter we've used for years left for college and we were in a jam to find someone for a trip in August. I am INCREDIBLY anxious about having strangers not just in our home, but caring for our 3 dogs. I had a horrible experience about 10 years ago - I'd left my little chihuahua mix with a friend's family to watch while I was traveling for work and they accidentally left the front door open - little Biscuit got out and was hit and killed by a car. Devastated and scarred is an understatement to how that has impacted me when leaving my furry babies with anyone since. But Kate was warm and lovely and cared for our brood like they were her own. We have a large (HYPER) german shep, a smaller 30lb dingo sized mutt, and a small Chiweenie:) Our home was taken care of, our dogs were safe and happy, and we couldn't have been more thrilled to have found someone we can trust! We will eleventy gajillion percent use Kate again! <3”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Signal Hill
Jack was absolutely fantastic as a sitter for our Annie girl. This was the first time we had ever used Rover and Jack made this the best possible experience. He provided lots of updates, sent us lots of pictures and we could tell that he genuinely cared for and loved our girl while we were gone. Not once did we worry about how she was doing while she was in Jack's care. We came back to our apartment looking better than when we left it, could not tell we had a sitter there at all, more like we had a house cleaner come by. Would recommend Jack to anyone looking for a reliable, friendly, loving and responsible dog sitter. Will 100% book with Jack again when the time comes.
Haley was amazing for a last minute request after our other care plans fell through. She was so on top of things and communicative, and I didn’t feel stressed at all even through a power outage in our neighborhood. She was great with all our animals. We definitely have found our new go-to pet sitter!
Chris did a great job for us. We have an olderJack Russell who has some special needs. Chris really likes dogs and dogs like him. He spent a week in our home and was very respectful of our home. Not only can I highly recommend him but I'll definitely be using him again. Thank you Chris!
Mikhayla is great! We have two kittens and two senior dogs, all with different levels of energy and needs. Everyone was happy and well taken care of after 3 nights in Mikhayla’s care. The house was very tidy upon our return, too. I definitely recommend her services.
Mary was great for our first sit with her. She showed up right on time and we had no issues throughout the day. She provided pictures and updates, putting us at ease knowing that Petunia was being cared for. We will definitely be booking her again and recommend her for anyone else looking for a great sitter!
Carson was amazing!!! She watched BMO for over a week and really took great care of him. She sent us updates at great times and was very accommodating. She really made us feel he was in great hands. Highly recommend her to anyone else looking for a sitter and will be using her again for future travels.
Miranda was professional, friendly and responsive from the first interaction. I had a difficult situation with two fairly new rescue dogs that sometimes get into doggy tiffs and she handled it with confidence and ease. She kept us updated regularly while we were gone and let me know if there were any issues. When I got anrrived home from our 12 day trip, our house was very neat and tidy. I would highly recommend Miranda to anyone who needs a pet sitter!
Erin did a wonderful job taking care of my cat Milo! She told me she has cats of her own so it felt good leaving him with someone who has the experience I was looking for. I had quite a bit of instructions for my cat while I was away, and she did a great job following through with everything I asked. Very attentive, responsible, and clearly cared about making sure my cat was comfortable and well taken care of. She always sent me photos, giving me updates, and was great with communication! Very thankful for her help!
Wow! Helen was amazing!! We left our dog Beau and our cat Hammy with Helen for 6 days while on vacation. Beau stayed with her at her apartment and she would drop in on Ham nightly. She would send us constant updates and pictures and was quick to respond to messages. I felt that my animals were safe and well cared for. She truly went above and beyond and we cannot thank her enough. We will for sure contact Helen again in the future. Thank you :)
Bridget is not only highly recommended by me, but by my dog & cat too! This was the first time in a long time being away from my pets and Bridget put my mind at ease the minute we met for the meet & greet. She updated and sent pics twice a day. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! Thank you Bridget!
Avery was reliable, caring, and kept me updated throughout the stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear she genuinely cared and made sure my dog felt comfortable and loved. I would definitely book with Avery again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and pet sitter!
This gentleman is absolutely wonderful. Our dogs love him. He is thoughtful and kind, quiet and curteous, and I would trust him in my home any time. He did such a good job with our best friends. He will work with your schedule no matter whats up. Can't say enough good things about him.
Tara did such a great job housesitting and watching our two cats. We got regular updates with photos and videos and Tara was communicative and fantastic! I would rebook again with Tara in a heartbeat. She made our trip less stressful knowing our cats were well cared for. Thank you!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Signal Hill on Rover is $48.84 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 14,551 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Signal Hill. 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 Signal Hill 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 Signal Hill 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 Signal Hill 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 Signal Hill. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% 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.
