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).
“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!”
“Alex took great care of my pups and my home while I was out of the country. I left with great peace of mind but he still sent many updates and photos throughout. Will use again! Thanks!”
“Emily watched our dog Otis in our home for 4 days. She communicated with us everyday and was quick to respond. Our dog Otis can be shy around new people and he warmed up to Emily right away. Your dogs and your house are in good hands with Emily, we would definitely trust her to watch Otis again!”
“Best experience we have ever had. This team rocks!!! We are very sensitive about our two pups and they set our minds at ease from the jump. We will be in touch again and now can make plans without worries. 10 Stars!!! Best Edith & Manny”
“As someone with 4 creepy herding dogs who aren’t usually interested in bonding, I cannot recommend Kailey enough. She made going out of town so low stress for me and like a vacation for them - she will 100% be my go-to pet sitter from now on! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“We had Austin housesit with our pet Ollie, for 5 days while we were on vacation. He was very sweet to our dog and provided the loving presence we desired for her in our absence. We will certainly hire him on our future vacations and will recommend him to our family members and friends.”
“Kevin was prompt, communicative, and courteous. He was open to hearing all our instructions for our two ~60 lbs pups. One dog has mobility issues and Kevin was kind to his needs. They were well taken care of for their time with him and we would certainly rebook.”
“At the beginning of my trip last week, the pet sitter I arranged for cancelled at the last minute due to illness. I contacted Julie and she was at my home within 90 minutes for a Meet & Greet. My dogs loved her. Even though my trip started late, Julie was there in the afternoon sending pictures of my dogs to me. I'm very happy with Julie and would recommend her. I have all ready arranged to use Julie again for my next trip.”
“Jeremy is truly the best, he has watched our boys multiple times now and they can be a handful! Our pups are always in good spirits after hanging with him for a few days and our home is always very clean when we get back! He’s the best sitter we’ve had in the LA area 😊”
“Sierra did such a wonderful job house sitting and taking care of our dog and cat. Our dog is deaf and can be very timid around new people- Sierra was very patient and caring with her and provided us with pictures and updates. We would definitely recommend her to anyone who needs a pet sitter.”
“Natalie was such a wonderful sitter! She put such care into caring for our three dogs and I could tell that she went out of her way to give them the best. She communicated well, was flexible and sent great photos. I highly recommend!”
“Lexy house sitted for 3 nights. Kept the house really clean and the dog super happy! Received a couple updates and many pictures a day. Will definitely recommend her! Trustworthy and kind”
“Jacqui was absolutely terrific taking care of my two 13 year old Springer Spaniels while I visited my son in Ohio for a week. She loves dogs and gave them plenty of love and attention. The hardest part of her duties was giving them all of their daily medicines which she did even learning to give Tia her twice daily shots of insulin. I highly recommend Jacqui!”
“Jeff was outstanding! He worked with Otto who was initially shy. By the time I returned he was having a great time with Jeff, playing and eating and being himself. I would definitely ask Jeff to watch Otto again!”
“Flor was an absolute delight to work with. You can tell she loves dogs, and Lily loved her right back. Flor kept us updated on feedings and activities, as well as reports on how Lily was doing overall. She left the house very neat and tidy too. We felt very comfortable leaving Lily with Flor for our trip, and I look forward to booking her again!”
“Well we popped her cherry for her first time dog sitting g. She was outstanding. She came to our hotel and hung out with Stash all evening. Sent pictures and Stash was very content and happy later in the evening. Not a stressed out crazed puppy. She will definitely be a great addition to the rover team!”
“Sara has great communication and was very flexible when we arrived home later than expected. Our dog Luke appears totally unfazed that we left town and was kept very happy and safe.”

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 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 3,046 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
- 92% 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.
