About: I am working a part time job right now so your pet will be my priority. I have grown up and taken care of pets (mostly dogs) my entire life. I have been dog sitting for friends and family since I was in middle school. I love animals and love being around them whether it is at a park, laying around the house or going on walks Im currently working part time. I have plenty of time for walks and to hang out with your pets. No need to worry about schedules as well as I am free to follow any schedule your pet needs I can spend time with your dog at a park or just hanging around the house. If you need someone to watch the dog during the day or at night I can do that as well.
“Stephanie was absolutely wonderful! She stayed in our home and took such great care of our dog Mookie and our house. From the moment we met her, we felt completely comfortable and knew Mookie was in good hands. She was responsible, communicative, respectful and sent lots of updates and photos. We would absolutely trust Stephanie with our home and dog again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.”
About: The first pay I earned as a kid was doing drop-in visits for a neighbor’s dogs, feeding and playing and doing check-ins with them throughout the day as a middle schooler. I grew up living with and taking care of my family dogs, and I am now the proud father of a darling golden retriever, Ginger, and a very special, cuddly diluted tortoise shell house cat, Freya. I have raised a puppy for Guide Dogs of America, taking care of and training basic commands from 8 weeks to a 18 months old, and have helped my wife foster many kittens for adoption with various outfits. I’ve watched neighbor’s dogs while they were out of town, done drop-in feedings for family member’s cats (5, each with their own type of food and feeding order!), and pet sat for friends during extended vacations. A pet is a part of our hearts, and I treat every pet I walk, watch, and play with like it is a part of mine. Gentle, nurturing, with patience and kindness. I am currently a freelance creative worker from home, so my schedule is very flexible and open for daytime drop-ins, dog walking, pet feeding, and play time! I am available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits with your animals and can accommodate different windows for busy and traveling pet parents alike. I have experience walking both adult dogs and puppies, as well as different dog sizes. Growing up, my family dogs were mostly small sized breeds like Shih Tzus, but as an adult I currently have a golden retriever as part of the family, so I am comfortable working with both small and larger sized dogs. I also have a cat that is very strictly only an indoor kitty, so I am extremely cognizant of door and house security when dealing with inside-only animals.
“Tiffany was amazing…she was communicative and took great care of Belle. She was available same day and saved a Last min family dinner. Cant thank her enough! We will for sure be using her again.”
“Isabella took care of our pup while we spent the day at a theme park. She was able to come last minute to be with our dog in our hotel room while we were at the park. Our dog was anxious being alone so last minute we decided to find him a sitter to be with him while we were gone. Isabella had great communication and texted us photos of our dog while we were at the park, as well as sent us text updates when she let him out, how he has doing, etc. She was able to accommodate the time frame we gave her and was flexible when it took us a bit longer to get back from the park. She was great with our dog and took great care of him! Would highly recommend her to other people needing a pet sitter!”
“Holly was the perfect house sitter for Lucy. She has a very calm and soft demeanor and Lucy was comfortable with her in no time at all. Holly was very attentive and responsive throughout the whole process and I was comfortable knowing I could reach her easily. I would definitely ask Holly to watch Lucy again and would highly recommend her to others looking for a trusted carer for their pets.”

“Sarah is a wonderful house sitter to both dogs and cats. She took care of our pets for 5 days and sent us pictures everyday of them having a great time. She even left us a bottle of champagne when we came back as we just got married. I highly recommend Sarah to watch your pets. My neighbors complimented her for her great service and attentiveness to my pets.”
About: I approach pet care with the understanding that every animal is different—whether they’re energetic, shy, routine-driven, or need a little extra patience. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality so they feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. I have hands-on experience caring for pets with more complex needs. One of my own cats is on anxiety medication, so I’m very comfortable administering oral meds in a calm, low-stress way and paying close attention to changes in behavior, appetite, and mood. More recently, my family dog went through a three-month battle with cancer, where I was actively involved in adjusting care routines, monitoring comfort, and providing consistent, attentive support. That experience deepened my ability to respond thoughtfully to pets who need extra care, patience, and flexibility. I’ve also grown up in a household with up to 12 pets at one time, so multitasking and providing individualized attention is second nature to me. I’m confident managing different routines, energy levels, and personalities all at once. I’m highly detail-oriented and reliable, so you can trust that feeding schedules, routines, and any specific instructions will be followed carefully. I also prioritize communication—I provide consistent updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. Above all, I treat every pet like they’re my own: with patience, respect, and a genuine investment in their comfort and happiness. As a Ph.D. student, I have a flexible and structured schedule that allows me to consistently incorporate pet care into my daily routine. I plan my days around responsibilities, which makes it easy for me to prioritize visits, walks, and check-ins without feeling rushed. Caring for my own cats is already a big part of my daily life, so feeding schedules, playtime, cleaning, and monitoring behavior are second nature to me. Adding in pet care for others fits seamlessly into that routine. I’m also intentional about not overbooking, so I can give each pet the time and attention they deserve. Whether it’s morning, midday, or evening visits, I’m able to show up consistently and stick to your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. Overall, pet care isn’t something I “fit in”—it’s something I genuinely enjoy and able to build my schedule around. When caring for pets in your home, my goal is to keep their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I follow your instructions closely—whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or specific habits your pet is used to—so they feel comfortable in their familiar environment. I’m very respectful of your home and make sure everything is kept clean, organized, and exactly how you left it. I’m also attentive to the details that matter, like monitoring eating habits, energy levels, and behavior, so I can quickly notice if anything seems off. Overall, I aim to create a calm, reliable presence so your pet feels safe, cared for, and as comfortable as possible in their own home.
“On a scale of 1 to 10, Tommy is an 11! He took such careful care of our babies while we were in town for a family trip. He paid attention to each of our pup’s individual needs and just was so mindful about everything! We will DEFINITELY work with him again and we HIGHLY recommend him!”

“Great communication, sent pictures which helped me worry less about my fur babies! So nice, kept everything clean & brought in my many amazon packages without having to ask. Will definitely book Elizabeth for my future dog/house-sitting needs!”
“Alexa agreed to petsit for my dog and cat very last minute in our home for 2 nights, and I am so happy we found her! She was very communicative and professional and my dog loved her! She left our home cleaner than when we left. Will definitely ask her to petsit for us again.”
“Friendly and invested in the quality of my dogs happiness. Adaptable and willing to put up with my worrisome checkins. Only feedback would be that more pictures were sent and texts were answered in a timely manner understanding that parents are irrational when they leave their fur babies with a stranger. Other than that extremely happy and will book again! Bottom line my dogs were safe, happy and the house was secured. Couldn’t ask for more! Thank you Maria!”
“Ally did a great job taking care of my 7 dogs. Yes, 7!! She is very patient and kind to handle so many! My dogs need a lot of supervision or they will bark uncontrollably. She stayed at my home for the entire booking which i greatly appreciate! She is very communicative and I look forward to working with her again!”
About: Hello, my name is Maira and I’m a life long animal lover. I’ve had all kinds of pets and cared for everything from turtles to fish, hamsters and birds, a rabbit, cats and dogs. Although I love all animals, Dogs are where my heart melts! I’ve taken care of friend’s dogs as well as helped friends and family basic train their small and large breed dogs. I have 10+ years of experience with dogs of all sizes and ages including my 90lb high energy Doberman which taught me a lot. If you remember one thing from my page I hope it’s this; I will take care of your furry babies as if they were my own. Monday through Friday I am available 6:30am - 6:30pm to care for your furry family. Saturdays and Sundays I am available 7:00am -7:00pm. If you need me outside of this time frame please let me know. During a drop in visit, I let your fur child out for a potty break and ensure they have plenty of water, food, and treats (if you okay the treats before hand) then hang out, play, and love on them for the remainder of the 30mins. During a walk booking, I will pick up your dog for a walk around the neighborhood. Which can be part structural and part sniffing to mentally stimulate and not just physically work out. The goal is a happy healthy pupper (and yes a 10 y/o is still a pupper) you will receive photos of our adventures and a message informing you how your baby’s walk went. Rain or Shine! Your Dog’s safety is my top priority. If it’s too hot or it is raining we will alter our walks with either a rain jacket or walking indoors at a near by pet friendly store. I am prepared with towels, plenty of water and a pet first aid kit should we ever need anything.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Stanton
Jazmyn was a great fit for us. She made us feel comfortable that our aging dogs would be safe and well cared for while we were on vacation so that we could focus on our getaway rather than our dogs. She sent pictures and updates regularly and overall did a fantastic job! We would recommend Jazmyn!
Wow! Helen was amazing!! We left our dog Beau and our cat Hammy with Helen for 6 days while on vacation. Beau stayed with her at her apartment and she would drop in on Ham nightly. She would send us constant updates and pictures and was quick to respond to messages. I felt that my animals were safe and well cared for. She truly went above and beyond and we cannot thank her enough. We will for sure contact Helen again in the future. Thank you :)
We've used Keane for both dog walking and house sitting, and he's been fantastic at both. For the house sitting, he did everything exactly as we specified and took great care of our home and dogs. He was responsive, really accommodating, and takes pride in doing the job right. We felt completely confident leaving everything in his hands even with one of our boys being more reactive. We would highly recommend him for any service and will use him again.
This was our first experience with Rover and a pett sitter. Not only would I highlighly recommend them both if you like us do not leave your dogs at home but find yourself having to figure out what to do on vacation. Sofia was amazing, after our initial meeting and she arrived on time sent us pictures during the day. If we are ever in the Anaheim area again and need a pet sitter she will be the person I will call.
Julia was awesome. Was pretty anxious about leaving my boy with a stranger for the first time, but Julia and her partner had good vibes and showed she took the job seriously after our first meeting which put me at ease. She sent daily photos and updates for the 10 days I was away and my home was as clean as when I left. Will definitely ask for her help again in the future. Thank you!
Erika was great with our three dogs in Huntington Beach. They are all personalities and she took the responsibility very well in hand. She was great with communication and seeking to understand our preferences. Most importantly, our dogs seemed to love her and she gave them a lot of care and affection as well; thanks, Erika!
This was our second time using Dillan to watch our two girls! He will always be our go-to pet sitter if he is available. I didn't worry for one minute while we were gone. He stayed at our home for almost 5 days and everything was perfect. Thank you Dillan! See you next time 😸

The average cost of House Sitting in Stanton is $56 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $72 per night.

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 Stanton 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 Stanton 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 Stanton 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.

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.
