“Anna was so good with my dogs and followed all instructions. She was super respectful of my home, and left without a trace. I felt so at ease knowing she was taking care of my two dogs, and upon my return home they were relaxed and happy. I will definitely be hiring Anna again! Wonderful!”
“Sophia is a wonderful addition to our pups lives! They love her & spending time with her! They are excited when she walks in our door. She house sits with our fur children while we are traveling and is amazing! She watched our two dogs & my grandog for our travels. The house was well cared for as were our babies! Sophia is caring,upbeat,responsive and knowledgeable. Our home was left in top shape & so were the furs. We have already booked 2 more stays for the summer. I highly recommend Sophia!! She is truly exceptional!”
“Aubree was SO great with our doggies, Teddy and Millie! We made a last minute decision not to travel with our dogs and she was willing to come do a meet and greet and accepted the job very last minute, thankfully! She stayed at our home and made our sudden trip away for a family funeral much less stressful because we knew our dogs were in good hands. We have an older dog and a middle aged dog with potty issues, especially when routines change at home. Aubree was patient and willing to clean up after them and I’m so grateful for that extra work and effort. She also sent us pupdates while we were away and pictures! Her communication is always positive and reassuring, making it such a pleasure to know her and work with her! We’re already working on scheduling with her for another trip coming up!”
“I had such a great experience with Katelyn watching Oakley! She stayed at my house for the weekend and took such great care of her. She was reliable, caring, and made me feel completely comfortable knowing Oakley was in good hands. I came home to a happy pup and everything in the house was just as I left it. Would definitely recommend her and would love to have her watch Oakley again! ❤️”
“Tyler is reliable & trustworthy! Would recommend for every one, great job of watching our dogs. They were well loved and cared for. The house was in perfect shape, as well, upon returning home. Communication was 10/10 leading up to & during our vacation. Really was a huge relief to know our home & boys were receiving great care & attention.”
“Ella made sure our kitties got plenty of love while we were away! She was able to administer oral medication appropriately. She tidied up after herself- you couldn’t even tell anyone had been here!”
“Lauren was the sweetest and made our pups feel like they had family keeping them. We never worried because of her check-ins and she was wonderful with our 1 year old Shihtzu and our 11 year old lab/collie mix. We loved the photos and she made sure our dogs were so well taken care of. We would happily use her again!”
“Lilly was wonderful! She is very sweet and took great care of my dog. Charlie loved her. I could tell when I got back that he had bonded with her and she was now his friend.”

I’m happy to complete walks, administer medications, clean litter boxes, and give your babies any specific attention that you require I’m currently about to start the school year, so I am available on weekends, evenings, or early mornings. Depending on the time of year, I may have more availability. Let’s discuss what works best for your needs! I prefer to complete drop-in services as needed due to having fur babies that are very structured in their own routines. Contact me and we can discuss logistics!
“We had a wonderful experience with Sakara! She took great care of our dogs and gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She kept us updated with photos and messages, and it was obvious our pups were very happy being with her. We came home to relaxed, well cared for dogs, which says everything. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter! Thank you so much!”

“We hired Laura to take care of our dogs while we enjoyed a vacation. We felt so great knowing she was there with our beloved fur babies! Came home to happy pups along with no accidents to clean up! Laura made sure to reach out throughout our time away with pictures of happy dogs! We will definitely be hiring her again for any future trips we take. Thanks again, Laura!”

“We needed a last minute dog sitter and got ahold of Cambria. From the get go she was prompt in replies, thorough and very friendly. Our dogs also really seemed to like her. During the house sitting she sent many updates about coming and going, how the dogs were doing and even sent some great pictures of the dogs. Overall very happy with Cambria and would definitely recommend!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Sonora on Rover is $39.96 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 541 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Sonora. 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 Sonora 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 Sonora 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 Sonora 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 Sonora. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
