“2nd time using Cassandra and my Riley LOVES her. I didn’t have to worry for one second. She even took him to his favorite park!! Thank you for allowing me to have peace of mind while I was away!”
“Truly couldn’t recommend Erin enough. She was punctual, flexible, and extremely reliable. We hired her for a very busy weekend in our lives and she was self-sufficient, communicative when needed, and most importantly, our dog seemed happy and healthy when we returned home. We are so grateful for her service and look forward to booking her again in the future!”
“Max loved his time with Sarah. She did a great job of keeping him in his routine and administering his meds. I had frequent pictures and communication from her which I appreciated. We will definitely work with Sarah again.”
“OMG. I had a family trip and my regular dog sitter was gone for a part of the time and I was seriously considering canceling my trip. Bridget jumped in handled all three dogs and the cat like a charm. We enjoyed our trip and knowing that the dogs were safe And happy. We have photos to prove it! I highly recommend Bridget!”
“We’ve used Shauna multiple times and she’s nothing short of amazing. She’s attentive, personable and loving to our fur family members. We trust her. The only downside to giving her the 5 star rating (which she deserves), is others booking her when we would like to use her! She’s fantastic.”
“Enzo told me he had a wonderful vacation with his sitter! Evynn was very good about checking in with us while we were gone. I can always tell when we have a sitter whether or not things went well by the dog’s demeanor upon returning home. Enzo was happy to see us but not needy; always the best way for me to make a determination. We definitely will be asking Evynn to sit 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!”
“Jack was a complete professional during his recent dog sitting of our two dogs. He stayed at our home and was extremely attentive and respectful. Jack followed all care instructions and went over and beyond by taking our dogs to the park and playing with them frequently. He provided us daily updates and photos during our vacation that kept us at ease, especially while traveling out of state. I cannot recommend him enough, a gentleman in every way.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs throughout my life and genuinely enjoy their company. I currently volunteer at my local animal shelter a few days a week. I have completed the shelters Fear Free training that teaches how to recognize and alleviate Fear, Anxiety, and Stress (FAS) in pets. The training touches on how to read animal body language, low stress handling techniques, environmental and protocol modifications. I have experience with puppies, adults, and senior dogs. I currently work part-time. My schedule consist of working M,W,F at 11:00 AM-3:00 PM and T,Th at 11:00 AM-4:00 PM. I am not scheduled at my day job on the weekends. So on Saturday and Sunday I am available for constant care. I can house sit, do drop in’s, and walks 7 days a week. But on weekdays I will be out 4-5 hours a day due to my work schedule. I will always respect clients boundaries. I understand the importance of leaving the place in good condition and cleaning up after myself. Most importantly sending updates to the owners on how their pets are doing. I also understand the importance of the big responsibility it is to care for my clients pets. I will always treat them as my own, with compassion, care, love and respect.
“Brendan has made us feel like we can travel again! As we have a senior dog, we are reluctant to leave him--he's set in his ways and does not like changes to his routine which causes stress (for him and for us). Brendan set us at ease immediately. He has an extensive experience with all types of dogs, and was well aware of the unique needs of seniors: funky about feeding, different types of meds and med schedules, and the possibility of incontinence. Brendan took all of this in stride AND made us feel confident he could manage any issues should they arise. From day one, Brendan sent pictures and updates and was very communicative about Maxwell's behavior, habits and general well-being while we were gone. Although it was a lengthy stay (8 nights), he was communicative throughout and took good care of our home. I would have Brendan at our home again without question. I felt comfortable and confident that he would take good care of our sweet Maxwell. He got to know his personality and quickly seemed to understand Maxwell and that was clear in his communications with us.”
“My dog took a liking to Ali right away! I did also and feel she genuinely cares and is knowledgeable about animals. She sent cute updates and was clear in her schedule and communication. She was respectful of my space and I felt at ease knowing my pet was in good hands.”
“Lucia is a “Total Gem”. She was amazing with the dogs and kept the house super clean and well taken care of. We will be hiring her for many years to come (hopefully she keeps sitting). It is really hard to find someone who is honest and trustworthy with our homes and pet family but Lucia is the best of the best ❤️❤️”
About: I've had the privilege of taken care of doggos since I got my first dog at 8. Since then I have been my friends go to person when their pets need a walk or a companion when my friends are out of town. I am now looking to do this as a job since it's what I genuinely enjoy to do! This will be my full time work, so I am fully dedicating my time to having fun and taking care of animals from now on. I will care for your pet as you ask me to and make sure to communicate and recap how our time was spent so you're always in the know.
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.
About: What can say, I have had animals all my life. I have a dog and a cat right now. I rescued them both. They really do love you unconditionally and make life so much sweeter. I treat my pets like my kids. I am caring person and love to help others. I know what it’s like to try and find someone that will love and take care of your pet the same way you do. I found it was harder to find someone that specializes in cats and that’s me. I will take care of your pets as if they were my own! I am currently working part time so I have plenty of time to take care of your precious pets! I especially love cats and kittens! I prefer to come to your home where the pets feel safer in thier own environment. I will love them and take care of them and follow whatever instructions you provide me!
“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 :)”
“Laura was great! I needed her for prolonged hours throughout the day and night on my birthday. She was professional, flexible, and Benson who is usually antisocial loved hanging out with her. Highly recommend, will definitely utilize her services again!”
“Elizabeth did an amazing job! This is the first time I’ve had a pet sitter. My cat had a wound and a cone and no one except my mom has ever watched my dog. So, I was a little nervous. But, Elizabeth’s sweet spirit put me at ease. She sent me pictures of my cat’s wound so I could see the progress and pictures of my dog when she walked him. She also sent additional periodic pictures and gave me updates. Elizabeth was very thorough and truly cared about doing the best job possible. My house was immaculate when I came home. Elizabeth truly went above and beyond and I’m so grateful for her!”
“Christopher looked after our kids for 9 days and my old Great Dane just fell in love !! The young ones kept him quite busy and he diligently took care of each with a warm heart and lots of love hugs and kisses to all the fur babies . Absolutely fantastic to know you can rely on such a competent and friendly dog sitter like him. Got home today and my kids was over the moon .. Definitely a 5👌🏼in our books ..”

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!
This is the second time that I’ve had Jack stay with our beloved babies. I’m a very anxious person, and I really appreciate all the attention and care that Jack gives our babies. And in addition to that he is very responsive and he leaves our house better than he found it. I feel like I am so overly blessed by having Jack take care of our babies.

Once again, Shauna took such great care of my beloved pets while I was away. My pup is always so happy to see her and she looks happy from the pics Shauna sent. Even my cat who usually just hides trusts her enough to come out of hiding and receive Shauna’s love & attention. The house is spotless and pets are happy calm healthy when I return. Shauna is the best!! I’m now scheduling my travel around her schedule.
Bridget is always reliable and communicative. My new kitty warmed up to her as soon as she came! My furbabies always love having her around. Bridget always leaves the house clean and follows all instructions to a tee. It’s so nice to feel comfortable and at ease when I travel.
Giovanny has been the most communicative sitter we’ve had so far on Rover! He was great with sending updates and sharing pictures of our dogs pretty much everyday day. He was also super reliable with our dog’s medication which is critical for his comfort. Our WiFi went down the day we left and all our security cameras went offline- Giovanny was kind enough to help us troubleshoot at the modem so we could get them back online.! I felt there was some opportunity with tidiness but nothing outside of what is acceptable. I do think he was very respectful and responsible with our home - we have already rebooked him for our next trip!
Kate was great with our senior dog. He has not been left with a dog sitter for over a year and I was worried about him being anxious. Kate was patient with him and took great care of him. Her communication is great and I would definitely recommend her. I would love to have her watch Winston again!
Delanea took great care of my senior dog, Bella, who has several age-related health issues and requires extra attention. She was punctual, communicative, and kept the house clean throughout her stay. Most importantly, Bella seemed happy, comfortable, and very relaxed when I returned home, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. Caring for a senior dog can be challenging, and I appreciate the time and attention Delanea gave her. Thank you for helping care for my sweet girl.

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.
