“Dominique was the best! She was very attentive, communicative, and amenable to both our dogs and our needs. She left our house exactly how it was when she got here. From her updates, I could tell the dogs were well taken care of and loved on. I would absolutely book with her again and will definitely recommend her to my friends who are looking for sitters in the future.”

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of different ages, personalities, and energy levels. As a lifelong pet owner, I understand how important it is to have someone you can genuinely trust with your pet. I’m comfortable caring for everything from energetic dogs who need plenty of exercise and stimulation to senior pets who need a slower pace, extra patience, and attention. I also have experience administering medications and following specific feeding, medication, and care routines. I’m very active and spend much of my free time hiking, walking, and exploring outdoors, so I’m especially happy caring for dogs who love longer walks and plenty of activity. Most importantly, I treat every pet as an individual and follow their normal routine as closely as possible so they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I work remotely and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to easily fit pet care into my day. I’m available for morning, daytime, and evening walks or drop-ins, and I can often accommodate last-minute requests as well. Since I travel full-time, I spend several weeks at a time in each area and keep my Rover availability updated so you’ll always know when I’m local and available. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any specific instructions you provide. I’m respectful of both your pet and your home, and I’ll make sure everything is secure, clean, and comfortable before I leave. I also believe communication is a huge part of earning your trust. I’ll keep you updated with photos and check-ins so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, happy, and getting plenty of attention while you’re away.

“Jonathan watched our dog and cat in our home for 6 days while we road tripped to visit with family. This was our first time having Jonathan stay in our home and he did amazing with our animals! He provided many picture and message updates and in each update our animals seemed content and happy. Our dog who is prone to anxiety seemed calm and at home. Jonathan was able to administer his medicine which was great. And on top of everything the house was so clean when we came home. We will definitely be reaching out to Jonathan for our next trip. Thank you Jonathan- I think the animals miss you already!”

“I cannot thank Jeff and Linda enough for taking care of my two dogs. We were out of the country for 8 days and it was our first time being so far away from our puppies. From my first interaction and phone interview with both of them, I could tell they are very caring, trustworthy, and detail oriented. I was not wrong. Everyday I would get an update at same time. From seeing my corgi being upside down on her belly and the two of them playing tug of war in the pictures I could tell they are very happy and feel safe. Jeff and Linda were extremely flexible with our crazy flight schedule and were willing to stay an extra day if our flight got canceled. When we got home in the middle of the night, my dogs wanted to go sleep with Linda instead of us because they just loved them so much. Jeff and Linda not only took care of our dogs, they also take great care of our house. The house was cleaner than how I had left it before our trip. I highly highly recommend Jeff and Linda and I am so grateful”

About: I am a joyful, experienced, caring and reliable full-time dog and house sitter with a flexible schedule. As a retired school teacher, I have shifted from caring for children to caring for dogs! This is purpose-driven meaningful work for me and goes far beyond earning some extra income. Dogs fill my heart and I have met so many kind and wonderful like-minded people through caring for them. I currently do not have any dogs of my own and I miss that a lot, so I can’t wait to shower yours with love and attention! I have raised many dogs over the years, including rescues and puppies. I trained my last two dogs to be therapy dogs through Pet Partners and we volunteered in our local school and hospital. I have a calm and gentle presence that dogs respond well to. I care for every dog as if they were my own. I am comfortable with administering oral medication and will reinforce positive pet training techniques and commands to support desired behaviors. I will clean up after your dogs and keep your home spotless and secure. You can expect photos and updates regularly and prompt responses to communication from you. I am a plant person as well, so your pups and plants will thrive in my care! Because I am retired I can tailor my daily routine to match your pup's. I do not have to fit them in around a work schedule and nor do I juggle care for other people's dogs at the same time. Your pup will have my full attention. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide weekday, weekend and holiday care for short or extended periods of time. I am active and will match your pup’s energy with walks, playtime and affection. Ideally I would like to establish regular care for pups whose owners travel frequently and want to maintain a stable environment in their absence. Your pup’s safety and comfort are behind every decision and activity we will do together. Having owned many dogs in the past, I understand the anxiety that comes with having to find trustworthy, reliable care for them when they need to stay at home. I find great joy in being able to provide excellent care and stability for other people’s dogs so their owners can travel carefree. I limit time away from your home during the first day or so as your pup and I are getting to know each other so we can build a trusting relationship. I meticulously follow all specific instructions and requests, dietary restrictions, medication schedules and activity routines. I respect your privacy and guests in your home will be with prior permission only. My goal is to keep your pup's daily routine consistent so they will feel safe and comfortable and you will have peace of mind knowing that your pup and home are being cared for with love and respect.

About: Your dog gets a cozy home with a private fenced patio, a doggy door, and the beach just 3 minutes away for walks and fresh ocean air. ⠀ I was a dog mom for 17 years to a rescue pup I found off the street, so I know how to read a dog's needs, moods, and quirks. I've been the go-to sitter for friends and neighbors, and I give every dog the same attention I gave my own. ⠀ With my background in Reiki and sound healing, I bring a little extra calm to your dog's stay, with optional gentle Reiki and sound experiences tailored to their comfort. I'm patient, present, and truly love dogs. Beach walks, quiet afternoons, whatever your dog needs to feel comfortable, loved, and right at home while you're away. 🐶🐾 I'm home almost every day, with only about five days a month in LA for work, so your dog gets my full attention. I'm an avid walker and love having a four-legged companion with me. ⠀ You can expect calm, attentive care, regular walks, easy patio and doggy-door access, consistent feeding, and lots of play and affection. I check in often and send updates throughout the stay. ⠀ At the end of every stay, I send a short video compilation of your dog's days, a little keepsake to come home to. 🎥🐾 Your dog's safety comes first. My patio is fully fenced, and I'm home almost every day, so your dog is never left alone for long. I follow your routine for feeding, walks, and any medications, and if anything comes up, you'll hear from me right away.

About: I grew up with dogs my entire life and have been dog sitting in San Diego throughout the last 5 years. I have many doggos I watch regularly, but I recently moved to north county and am hoping to meet new dog friends. My goal is to be communicative with you while providing to most loving and fun environment for your pup :) I have plenty of experience dog sitting, boarding, and walking and want to ensure you have peace of mind while you are away. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, with ranges of dietary and medical needs. Feel free to set up a meet and greet with me! I work remotely and my job is flexible, so it allows me to watch dogs at home, go on frequent walks, and make it to and from appointments if needed. When walking dogs, I ensure they are leashed and ready to go before leaving the house and work to ensure we avoid any of their triggers. When sitting or boarding dogs, I make sure they get frequent walks and most importantly a lot of love! I have a gated porch to allow some safe outdoor time in between walks and enjoy snuggling at night with dogs who spend the night. If provided, I am happy to crate dogs as well.

“Shirlene was a perfect match for my tow boys! This was her first overnight and the boys clearly weren’t onboard with my travel. One is elderly with medications and quite frankly can be a bit snippy now and resource guards. Her care and professionalism shined through with concern regarding giving Thor some of his meds and his less than willing attitude. She reached out to discuss and was successful with the meds. But the thing that struck me the most was that she understood that Thor and her have not had enough time to create a solid trust bond, hence some of his snippy attitude. When I look for someone to care for my dogs, I don’t want them to just show up, I want them to care enough for my dogs that if something isn’t right or something happens, that person is there to figure it out because they CARE about the dogs, they aren’t in it just for the money. I could tell that Shirlene cared about my dogs and is willing to create a bond with them that leads to me feeling solid and assured when I am away.”

About: I’ve cared for animals (majority dogs) starting at age 10. Love spending time with animal whether it be out on a walk and house sitting! I currently work from home and have a pretty flexible schedule, so looking to make some extra money through dog walking/sitting! I am currently work from home and my job has flexible hours so looking to do some dog walking/sitting to make some extra money! Free most weekdays and in town usually half the weekends of the month. My house does not allow for pets, so I cannot host your furry friend. However, I am very vigilant about keeping a space dog friendly, as my family just got a new puppy a few years back, I have learned and practice many pet safety precautions (exposed wires, open doors, food left out, etc)

FAQs for House Sitting - Solana Beach

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Solana Beach on Rover is $56 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $111 per night. 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 6,912 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Solana Beach. 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 Solana Beach 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 Solana Beach 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.

<b>Tip:</b> 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 Solana Beach 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.
