“Julie was just amazing. Great communication about my dogs while I was away on my trip, she took lots of photos and videos of my puppies. She also went above and beyond...she picked up all the dog poop in the yard, she bought my dogs had a bunch of new toys and chew bones, she washed their dog bowls, she even toped off their water bowls before she left. Would definitely book her again.”
“Absolutely fabulous! Michele is the best pet sitter I have ever had the pleasure of having for any of my dogs. She immediately bonded with Oliver, who is a real Mama’s boy. Lovely photos were sent daily of Oliver going on multiple walks, cuddling and enjoying his time with her. She was very attentive of his needs. Michele is a treasure”
“Sarah was fantastic!! One of my girls is a bit persnickety so she doesn’t necessarily like everyone, but she took to Sarah pretty quickly. I would definitely use her again and she deserves a 10+ rating..”
About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was 16, so I have years of experience with animals of all ages and personalities, from energetic puppies and playful kittens to older pets who need extra patience and love. I currently have two dogs and a cat, and I’ve raised them since they were young, so I understand the attention, training, and care every animal needs. I’m an athlete and love going on walks, so I can keep up with high-energy dogs or take long, leisurely strolls with older pets. I’m also comfortable handling feisty or shy pets, and I always focus on building trust, keeping pets safe, and making sure they feel happy and loved while their owners are away. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, cuddles, or just companionship, I treat every animal like family and adapt to their unique personality and needs. I’m willing to go the extra mile (literally and figuratively) to make sure your pets feel cared for, safe, and comfortable. I just finished school and currently work as a waitress for about 4 hours a day, which leaves me with plenty of free time. I’m looking to spend those off-hours doing something I genuinely love caring for pets. My schedule is really flexible, so I’m able to fit in walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting throughout the day and week. Whether you need regular visits or last-minute help, I’m happy to make it work around my shifts. When I’m caring for pets in my client’s home, I follow their routine as closely as possible so their pet feels safe and comfortable. I stick to feeding schedules, walk times, playtime, and any special instructions you leave. I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality whether they’re playful, shy, or extra cuddly and make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and reassurance while you’re away. I also respect your space by keeping everything clean, secure, and exactly how you left it. When caring for pets in my own home, I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can play and explore safely. My dogs are kept in my garage during visits so your dog has full freedom to roam in the yard or, if they are an indoor dog, stay inside the house comfortably. I already have two dogs and a cat, so I’m used to managing different personalities and making sure everyone feels safe and happy. Walks, playtime, and lots of love are always part of the day. No matter where your pet is, my goal is always the same: to keep them safe, happy, and loved just like they’re part of my own family.
About: What sets me apart as a sitter is that I’ve lived with animals my entire life and truly love caring for them. I have experience with both cats and dogs, and I understand their routines, personalities, and needs. I own cats, and many of my friends have dogs and cats that I’ve helped take care of, giving me hands-on experience with different temperaments. I’m patient, attentive, and reliable, and I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. Pet care is already a regular part of my daily and weekly routine. I care for my own pets every day, which includes feeding, cleaning, playtime, and making sure they are comfortable and safe. I plan my schedule around pet care, so I’m used to being consistent, on time, and attentive. Because of this, it’s easy for me to fit pet sitting, walking, and check-ins into my routine and give each pet the time and care they need. I care for pets by following their usual routines and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. In my home or a client’s home, I provide fresh food and water, regular walks or playtime, litter box or cleanup care, and lots of attention. I respect the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications if needed, and house rules. I always keep the environment clean and make sure pets are supervised and never left feeling stressed or ignored.
About: I have been a pet sitter since I was in middle school and have had the pleasure and opportunity to care for many different furry companions! I am no stranger to administering medications and have pet-sat many different dogs and cats of all sizes and shapes! I have no issue caring for cats and/or dogs that have any sort of deformities, amputations, or just look weird and funky in general. A dog is still a dog and a cat is still a cat, and every pet deserves love regardless of what they look like! I am currently a college student who loves caring for all kinds of fur babies! You can be sure I will have plenty of time to play with your pups and kittens to their hearts’ content! I’m still getting used to how this app works with its settings, so if you have any questions about pricing and scheduling, shoot me a text so we can discuss it! I'm willing to talk things out if you can't initially afford my rates! ¡También soy fluida en español! My clients will always receive the best care that I can give them. Every animal is different and has different needs, and I am prepared to meet them all! I'll be sure to send pictures and videos regularly of me and your pet(s) having a great time! I'm willing to protect your pet(s) as fiercely as you are, and I will happily administer medications and clean up messes! I take great pleasure and honor in making your best furry friends feel as safe and loved as they would if you were there!
“Autumn was great with our three cats! She made sure to provide constant updates when she visited and made she they got so much love and attention in addition to their daily needs. I would highly recommend her!”
About: I have worked with small pets such as fish and large pets such as horses. I also care for any age from a couple weeks old to seniors. I love them all I’m currently a college student at CSUN going twice a week from 7am to 2pm. I’m available pretty much all the time every week to care for your pets. I prefer to care for your pets in your home where they are most comfortable. I always care for your home as if it were my own and will kept tidy.
About: I genuinely love all animals and know firsthand that every pet has their own personality, habits, and routine. I’m extremely patient and empathetic, so whether your pet is shy, energetic, or just takes a little time to warm up to new people, I make sure they feel safe and comfortable. Because I've cared for a senior cat with special dietary needs and currently raise a high-energy dog, I'm just as comfortable handling delicate feeding routines and quiet days as I am burning off energy on long walks. I take your house rules and care instructions seriously, I'm always happy to accommodate whatever your pet needs, and my main goal is simply to make sure both you and your pet feel completely at ease while you're away. My workday finishes early at 2:00 PM Monday through Friday, giving me wide-open afternoons, evenings, and full weekends dedicated entirely to pet care. Because my work hours are flexible, I’m easily reachable throughout the day and consider myself essentially on-call for drop-ins, evening walks, or overnight sitting. Keeping your pets comfortable, safe, and on their normal schedule is always my top priority, and I’m happy to accommodate whatever timeline works best for you and your pet. When caring for pets in your home, I treat your space and your pets with total respect. I follow all of your house and pet rules to the letter, never invite guests over, and make sure your home is left just as clean and tidy as I found it. For me, clear communication is everything. You will receive regular photo, video, and text updates so you always know how your pet is doing. If any unexpected situation or question ever comes up, I will contact you immediately so you're always kept in the loop. My goal is for you to feel 100% confident that your home is secure and your pet is safe, happy, and loved.
“Enrique is absolutely the best dog whisperer ever! My dog Daisy was instantly comfortable with Enrique, love at first sight! Enrique is very professional, communicates well with pictures and is trustworthy and kind. I highly recommend Enrique to everyone!”
“Austin was great! Have already watched our giant dog Sassy twice. Great with our energetic girl. Was a great communicator and our house was nice and tidy when we returned home. Thanks Austin!”
About: Helped take care of a geriatric dog who was incontinent and lost the use of her legs in the last year of her life. I have had animals in my home all my life, from dogs, cats, birds, and lizards. I usually work a couple of days a week for half days at Michaels. I am available for check-ins most mornings and in the afternoons. I live in a condo with tons of space for running around. I have two of my own cats, and any boarders would have to be fine with them. My cats have their space. I respect any habits and boundaries you have at your house for your pet. I can brush and clean up after the pet, and play their favorite game.
About: Hi! I'm a dog-lover with a flexible schedule, so I can pop in for visits or take your pup(s) out for a good walk any time of day. My daughter and I have two dogs of our own (Luna and Sunny), so I know firsthand what it takes to keep a dog happy, active, and well cared for. This isn't a job to me, it's just what I love doing. Whether it's a quick potty break, a longer walk, or a check-in with some cuddles and playtime, I'll treat your dog like part of the pack. If you'd like, one of my own pups can occasionally tag along on walks too; happy to chat about what works best for your dog I recently moved back to Moorpark, so I have plenty of open availability for walks and drop-in visits. I'm an early riser for an early AM walk and I enjoy an evening stroll before it gets too late. I am very familiar with dog safety when it comes to making sure collars/harnesses are on and leashes are fully attached before opening any doors. I also take my time when passing other dogs on leashes (just in case).
“Kaitlin was prompt to answer any messages and questions I had. She arrived on time and took great care of our dog Sky while we were out of town for the weekend. Her rate is lower than other sitters we have used in the past, but the service was equal. We would use her again.”
About: I've loved animals for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has always been a big part of my life. I'm currently studying Animal Health Science and hope to eventually work in animal conservation. Over the years, I've had many different kinds of pets and have gained lots of hands-on experience caring for both my own animals and other people's pets. I'm hardworking, friendly, dependable, and I truly enjoy getting to know each animal and their individual personality. I would love the opportunity to care for your pets and make sure they feel happy, safe, and comfortable while you're away! I am a college student looking to gain more experience with animals and earn extra money for living expenses. I am currently enrolled at Cal Poly Pomona as an animal health science major, but I'm living in Moorpark this semester. When it comes to potty breaks/walks, I’m especially careful with smaller dogs because of the potential risk of wildlife or other animals nearby. I’m also extra cautious around pools if in the backyard especially if there isn’t a fence or barrier around them. Every home and pet is different, so as long as the owner lets me know about any specific safety concerns or rules, I’m happy to follow them and make sure their pet stays safe!
About: Because of my career in the field of applied behavior analysis, I have a deep understanding of pet behavior. I am great at learning new skills and approaches. I find that this helps me tailor my skillset for each furry friend entrusted to my care. I work remotely and my schedule is pretty flexible so I can care for my dog and yours. This flexibility allows me to consider pet care easily in my schedule. I have a fenced yard for sun bathing. I understand that having your doggy’s best friend gone is stressful enough so I understand the importance to abide by your personal routines and particular tasks that may sound silly to someone else.
About: 15 years dog owner & 30 years cat owner experience. Mainly rescue animals taken in and provided life long home. All around pet lover; have also cared for birds, rabbits, fish, snakes, rats & hamsters. Experience in basic dog training. Able to administer medications & perform basic grooming. I have open availability & my schedule allows for flexibility as I work for myself. Will be available during the week & on weekends currently. I will follow any and all instructions provided for me in order to best care for your pet(s). Important for me to know feeding schedule & your pets likes/dislikes. Keeping your pet on their normal routine will be first priority.
About: I’ve helped rescue two dogs so far within these past few years. Animals have really brightened up my life. I love caring for pets any size and age. My old co workers would call me the doggy whisperer because I liked talking to the dogs that would come in with their owners and the dogs seem to take a liking to me. I’m not sure why dogs gravitate to me. I think it has to do with how much I appreciate all the love they have to give. They truly are little fury blessings. I am grateful to come in to contact with pets. I enjoy making them smile from ear to ear. With great responsibility, there also comes great rewards with having pets. I’m here to help anybody in need of a dog/house sitter! My availability is currently open anytime Monday through Sunday, day or night! I also am available for holidays and all summer long if you need me. I am currently only open to house sitting inside your home or pet sitting in your home. Temporarily in a transition of moving so, my place currently isn’t available for dog boarding.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Somis
Britny was great with our girls. They took to her fairly quickly when she came to introduce herself and that’s always a good sign. We went away for a couple of days and she stayed at our home and followed all of our directions, sent pictures and updates throughout. We would definitely use her again!
Over the years I have had several sitters, and I can honesty say that Madison is the BEST. I am a new mom and she watched our house and pets while we were all away on holiday for 5 days. She stayed in my home and went above and beyond! We were able to be worry free because she gave me photo and video updates throughout the day which was perfect! I would ask her to sit for me again in a heartbeat.
Julie always takes such great care of my little girl. She provides regular updates and photos, follows the instructions, and is respectful of the house. I will definitely use her again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a competent, compassionate house sitter.
Kaleigh has been our afternoon sitter for over a year, and we are so grateful to have her caring for our two dogs. This week she stayed in our home while we were traveling. Our dogs require special meal preparations and medication, and Kaleigh very capably handled all of it with ease. We came home to a very tidy house and calm, happy pups! Kaleigh is a gem and you will not regret trusting your pets and home to her!
This is the second time Alexis has stayed at my home, and this time she sat both my resident Aussie, Max, and a foster dog, Marley. This was a big experiment since it was the first time Marley had stayed with a sitter. Alexis was incredible. She dealt with so much with the stressed and anxious foster dog while I was gone (potty accidents, giving medicine, cleaning up a broken glass he pulled off the counter, etc.). Marley is a bit of an escape artist, and she made sure he was safe the whole time and couldn’t sneak out. She also kept in regular communication with me which was essential for this stay. I’m so grateful for her care and effort while I was on my weeklong vacation! Thank you so much, Alexis! :)
I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for Cooper. Danielle kept in contact with me, sent pictures and answered my texts in quick time. Cooper was very happy. This was a 5 night stay in my home and the house was in perfect shape when we arrived. I would highly recommend her and will ask her again. It was a pleasure to know we could get away and not have to worry. Thank you, Danielle!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Somis on Rover is $62.16 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 3,036 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Somis. 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 Somis 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 Somis 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 Somis 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 Somis. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
