“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!”
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!
“Shea was so great watching our puppy over the long holiday weekend. Asked great questions for set up, sent pictures throughout, and Willow definitely loved having her stay at the house.”
“Mary has helped me with staying in my house with my dog while we were away. She was very attentive to our dog when we first met. While we were gone she kept us updated and even handled the unexpected well. Our dog was happy and our house was immaculate when we got home. We will be booking with Mary again”
“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.”
“We are truly grateful to have found Mallory to watch over our two dogs while at a family reunion for almost a week. Having a sitter stay overnight was new to us as well as my husband and I are not from the area. On top of that, our older dog needs a little more attention these days. Upon meeting Mallory my dogs acted like they were seeing an old friend. She was attentive and asked all the questions for things I had not mentioned. she is extremely responsive and compassionate with a very good energy around animals. She was considerate enough to ask if an extra hand for walking the dogs would be okay on the day she had to work late and kept me reassured that they were in good hands with updates throughout the trip. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for animal care of any kind. Thank you so much Mallory and Lizeth!”
About: Hello pet parents ! I’ve had a lot of experiences with different dog breeds in the past from chihuahuas to Pit bulls. I currently own two Siberian huskies (1year olds), Ghost and Lady. I currently own two huskies (Ghost and Lady) that I care for daily along with walking dogs on Wag when I have the free time. I care for pests based on clients agreed upon instructions. If no instructions are given then I would treat them as I do my own, caring and patient.
“Joyce has been our go-to for our pups for several months now and she’s just the best! She took such great care of our dogs while we were away for the weekend, sending amazing updates and photos. Incredibly communicative and reliable, Joyce is 10/10 ⭐️”
“Shelli is truly the best! She keeps me up to date with how my pup is doing and sends me lots of pictures/videos. I always know Bailey is on good hands with Shelli and that puts my mind at ease 🤗🩷”
“Christina stepped in on short notice when my usual dog sitter wasn’t available. She did amazing, took care of my pups at my place for a few days, kept me updated throughout and followed instructions. I’ve found someone that I will definitely trust again in the future. Thank you Christina :)”
“Malcom was absolutely fantastic! This was our first time using Rover and he made us feel so comfortable and reassured during our meet and greet and we are so happy with our decision to book him!! He kept her routine with plenty of walks, provided updates the entire stay, and our dog Mya looked so happy in all the photos and videos he sent so we know she was well cared for. :)”
“Esmeralda was flexible and communicative. She took great care of our critters while we were gone for the weekend, and even stopped in an extra time when our flight was delayed getting home.”
About: I’ve taken care of family’s pets and my own for the past 11 years. My dog is my baby and I will treat yours like one! Any type of help you need, I will exercise your pet, wash them, administer medicine. They will be well taken care of! Currently working full-time during the week. I am mostly available on weekends: Fridays: 6:30pm-night Saturdays: 1pm-night Sundays: all day I can make myself available on weekday nights 6:30pm - evening depending on the situation. Dogs will tell you what they need. I take them for potty breaks frequently and if they are telling me they want more play time I will give them extra play time. When they are more tired I will give them space to rest. Sometimes when they have attitude I have to be stern and tell them it’s not time for extra treats xD they like to be challenged so I do like to train them to do some tricks. My dog knows how to roll over, beg, and wait amongst several other tricks. Dogs like the direction and having a job to do. I have the patience to help them learn how to wait and walk properly on a leash without pulling. It takes time but it is doable!!
About: I have been sitting and caring for dogs for ~12 years; dogs of all sizes, temperaments and needs. My partner and I fostered dogs for 2 years, some of which were high medical needs, mother dogs and young puppies, etc. I am super comfortable with any age and temperament. I am currently working super part-time, so I have a wide open schedule at the moment :) Happy to walk them on a consistent or one-off schedule, do drop ins, or watch them longer term at your place. I currently am not able to keep any pups at my place, but I am totally happy to come to yours and run any protocol you typically do with your pups. Crating, treats, brushing, etc.
“Mario knows all the key rules and is helping us continue Nala’s training to become a service dog. Mario is communicative and was so helpful while I was away for work travel. It isn’t often you meet someone you can trust with your pup and access to your home the way Mario can be counted on. :)”
“We LOVE having Kelsi watch our baby. Our doggy always wags his tail and runs to her. She spent so much time with him which we appreciated especially now that he’s a senior pup. Thanks again Kelsi!”
“First time booking Sam. He house sat and dog sat three doggos. Large breed, medium breed, and small breed. Our home was spotless when we returned and our dogs were fat and happy. We had a great first impression with Sam and look forward to booking his services again in the future.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Signal Hill is $63

Shelli was amazing! She watched our very large Great Pyrenees at our house for 11 nights. We received nightly updates, including pictures and videos of our girl. She took such great care of our dog and our house and we were able to go on our vacation and not worry at all. We will definitely use Shelli in the future! She is the best!
Haley did a wonderful job staying with our little stranger-averse terrier for a week while we traveled internationally! She sent tons of photos, kept us up to date, and communicated well. She also left our home in pristine condition when she left--bedding washed and dishwasher run. 10/10!
Elizabeth was incredible. She stayed in our home for a week and a half to take care of our two dogs AND two cats. She even ran to Costco pharmacy to pick up a prescription for one of our new kittens. We 10000% will be booking with her again and are so satisfied with her service
I really hate to leave a good review for Jack because someone will snatch him up when I need him the most! I think Harlie, Prince and Rio had a really good time because they were not stressed out at all when I got home. In fact, they weren’t all that excited to see me when I got home. I think they missed Jack. I felt my fur babies and my house were well taken care of. Will definitely be using him in the future.
Adriana is one of the best Dogsitters I’ve ever booked from Rover. Took great care of my dog Kira and followed all instructions. Took excellent care of my place also. She has great energy that my dog loves and I got plenty of photo updates. Will absolutely be hiring again.
Jacquelyn was great with our 8 years old dog, Kixy. She was caring and cuddled with Kixy to reduced her anxiety while we were away on our trip. She also took good care of our home and communicated regularly with us. We very much appreciated Jacquelyn and her time and love for our pup!
Alejandra was wonderful during her overnight stay in our home with our dog. She is professional, trustworthy, and compassionate, and her excellent communication gave us peace of mind while we were away. She was attentive to our dog’s needs, and we felt completely comfortable trusting her with our dog and our home. We highly recommend Alejandra and will be happily booking her again soon.
Sarah is an excellent pet sitter. She took her time to make sure she was prepared prior to the booking, meeting my guys so she wasn't a stranger and understanding their routine. She is an excellent communicator and takes extra care of my fury friends including my senior chi.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Signal Hill is $50 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $98 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 14,600 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 , 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.
