“Very sweet lady! Did a great job watching the house and our pets! Kept in touch with us while we were out of the state. Sent cute pictures of the dogs and cats! I would ask her to housesit/ pet sit again!”
“Monica did a great job housesitting and watching Baby while I was out of town for a couple of days. My dog was comfortable around her and that helped me relax knowing he was in good hands. I will definitely reach out to her next time I’m looking for a house sitter.”
About: I’ve always loved animals and have hands on experience caring for dogs! I have three of my own so I’m used to dogs with different ages, personalities, and energy levels. I take them on walks, give them baths, dry and brush them, and make sure they get plenty of love and attention. I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own and make sure they feel happy, safe, and comfortable while you’re away! 🐾🐶 Im currently working part time so ill have lots of time to play with your pups! There only block in my schedule is Mondays. And some days that I’m scheduled for I always make sure pets are in a safe, clean, and comfortable environment. I pay close attention to their behavior and needs and make sure they have fresh water, food, exercise, and plenty of attention. When caring for a pet in their home, I respect the owner’s space and follow their instructions and routine.

I’ll make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. 🫶 Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I enjoy spending time with animals.

About: I personally own 1 dog and 5 cats and owned many more before and they all lived long happy lives. Dogs are puppies to me, regardless their age. I also used to volunteer at a pet shelter - my duties included walking, feeding, cleaning kennels and socializing stray or feral animals so they could be adopted out to loving homes I would preferably take clients during weekdays but depending on dates and frequency I’d be open to some weekends as well, contact me to discuss further details I am willing to send photo/video updates to the owner(s) about their pets every day - morning routines, feeding, walk and play times, dinner time etc.
About: I have more 10+ years walking and babysitting young and senior dogs (5 years on Rover). Since I was 7, I cared for dogs, cats, turtles, goldfish, parakeets, chickens, rabbits, and mice. My mom refused to let me have a snake but that definitely would’ve been on my list. I work full time Mondays to Thursdays, but I always make it important to exercise after work. On weekends I am available for walks and drop-ins. I’d be happy to love and care for your dog, and send you pictures of appreciating your dog throughout the day. If you have to leave for a weekend for a holiday or extended vacation, I have experience staying overnight in a client’s home. For drop-in visits I can feed and play with your pet. I can also water your plants or double-check if your AC is off and appliances are unplugged.
“Alan and Melissa clearly love dogs, and they did an admirable job of looking after our German shepherd for three days. In fact, we have already booked them for a longer stay during Thanksgiving week. They are a responsible, personable couple--the sort of dog sitters that are a credit to the Rover service.”
“Ariel goes above and beyond with the care of the animals and the upkeep of the house. She communicates very well and sends amazing pictures of the animals. Will definitely use her again!!”
“Loved working with Alysabeth!! She spent the week with our pups in our home and treated them as if they were hers. Lots of love, attention to feeding schedule, great communication, and easy to work with. We would definitely recommend her.”
“Such a great experience with Michael! We have a high energy puppy and Michael was able to handle it with ease! Super communicative with daily updates :) will absolutely hire again :)”
“Kiyomi took such good care of our two dogs while our family was on vacation that we were able to truly enjoy our vacation without worrying about anything. Our lucky dogs got more walks than they get with us on a normal basis, and she even did some light training or reinforcement of training and games with them to keep their interest up. She sent batches pf photos daily with an update of what they did that day which our kids loved since they missed the dogs so much. And our dogs looked so happy and relaxed in the photos - I could tell they were very comfortable with Kiyomi. Would definitely rebook Kiyomi the next time we are out of town.”
About: I’m a bedroom DJ and Manny who loves spending time with pets. I also bring pets back to their owners with new skills depending and have experience for watching and caring for in general. I am currently working a Manny position for a family waiting for kids from 2-6pm. I typically take pets with me to walk them throughout waiting for child pick up. Walking for at least 2-3 hours within that time. I live in a fenced apartment in Santa Monica, close to the beach that I love taking pups too. CLEAN environment to prevent illness and disasters from happening.

About: Hi! I’m Hasan Farajov, 25 years old, a student who works from home and absolutely loves spending time outdoors. I believe dogs deserve more than just staying inside—so I love going on long walks and hikes with them, especially around Runyon Canyon, which is super close to my home. I truly enjoy creating fun, active, and loving experiences for every pup I care for. Hopefully, as you can see from my pictures, your dog and I will be a perfect match! I work part-time, so I have a lot of free time 👌 My schedule varies, and I set it myself 📆 I am almost always home ☺️ I live in a duplex with neighbors who have very friendly dog and a cat, so your pet can have a company. I have a backyard and live in a spacious house! 😻 Feel free to message me 📩 Rest assured, your furry friend will be in safe and loving hands while you are away 🥰
“Sharon was really wonderful! This was our first time using a pet/house sitter. We were very nervous about it and Sharon gave us the peace of mind we needed to enjoy our vacation. From the start, she had great communication. Our large dog and tortoise were well taken care of with check ins each day and our house was too. She even threw her sheets and towels in the wash and dryer, and took out the trash before heading out. We had happy pets when we returned and are so excited to have a reliable and caring person to use in the future.”

The average cost of House Sitting in Sun Village is $42 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $53 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 Sun Village 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 Sun Village 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 Sun Village 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
