“Another great sit with Hannah! She is so kind to our dear animals. A very conscientious housesitter. Didn’t have to worry about a thing while we were away.”
“We have had Katherine stay at our home with our doodle Freddie prior to this visit - she stayed for nearly 1 week with him and they bonded and grew even closer during that time. We appreciate her attentiveness and communication and will be working with her again in the future!”
“I’ve been remiss at leaving a review as Michelle and Lisa have watched our doggos many times; house sitting and drop ins, for our two Labrador retrievers and sometimes also our golden retriever grandpuppy. They are both exceptional in their attentiveness and thoughtfulness and all our doggos love them. I couldn’t ask for anything more when my dogs are in their care. I appreciate them beyond measure. We’re so lucky we found them on Rover.”
About: I have been working as a veterinary assistant for 18 years and have done pet sitting and dog walking for 16 years. I have loved animals since i was a little girl. I can schedule walks for earlier in the morning or when the sun is going down. Since it's to hot to go during the day I have a fenced in back yard. I can't board animals at my house. But i can take animals on walks, drop ins and over nights depending on where the place is.
About: In the past, I was trained as a Customer Advisor at Petco and worked at a doggy daycare afterwards, making me well experienced in warning signs for any allergies or illnesses and much more detail oriented than your average sitter. If ever needed, I can also provide knowledge on what are the best products to recommend for your pet to fit their specific needs. I have had animals my whole life and I know what it feels like to be away from home and miss my pets dearly. When your dog or cat stays with me, I will keep you updated as much as possible. Sending pictures and/or videos to make you feel like your little ones are still with you and that you haven't missed a beat!
“Hailey was great with our three big dogs! We felt super comfortable having her stay, very communicative, and was able to house sit last minute. Would definitely recommend her to anyone!”
About: I’ve always loved animals since I was little :) Dogs, cats, chickens, quails, guinea pigs, and more! I’ve also volunteered at dog and cat shelters, which has really helped me understand different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I’m a calm, attentive, and gentle sitter who really enjoys spending time with animals. I pay close attention to little things, stick to each pet’s usual routine, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’m happy to provide cuddles, walks, playtime, or simply quiet companionship—whatever suits your pet best. I also send regular photo updates and stay in touch throughout the day for your peace of mind. If you’re looking for someone reliable, thoughtful, and genuinely loving toward animals, I’d be happy to care for your pet 🤍 Feel free to reach out with any questions! I have plenty of time throughout the day to check in on pets, play with them, keep them company, and follow their usual routines. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to give each pet the attention and calm presence they need :) I provide care exclusively in my clients’ homes, where pets feel most comfortable and secure. Staying in their familiar environment helps reduce stress and allows me to follow their normal routines as closely as possible. I’m a calm, respectful, and home-oriented person. I treat every home with care and attention, keep spaces clean and organized, and follow all house instructions closely. Whether it’s locking doors, respecting quiet hours, or handling keys and security systems responsibly, I take home safety seriously. I’m comfortable staying overnight when needed and make sure pets are never left feeling alone or unsettled. My goal is to create a steady, peaceful presence — someone your pet can trust and relax around, and someone you can feel confident welcoming into your home.
“Emily was incredibly professional!!! I leave VERY early in the morning for work and she was here right on time. She made me feel very comfortable leaving my mags with her. Maggie doesn’t like other dogs and Emily did a great job keeping her away from other dogs while also ensuring she got the exercise she needed. Emily never left Maggie at all during the day because she me a she had separation anxiety! She spent 10 hours with her and sent me updates throughout the day. We have already booked Emily again because she was so awesome!!!”
“Georgina was absolutely exceptional while caring for our dog, Kobe, during our 13-day trip. From start to finish, she went above and beyond in every way. She carefully administered Kobe’s medication, followed all of our instructions to the letter, and treated him with so much love and attention—it gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Beyond pet care, Georgina took incredible care of our home as well. She watered our plants, brought in the mail, and managed the garbage—everything was spotless and perfectly maintained when we returned. Her attention to detail is truly unmatched. What stood out most was her communication. She kept us consistently updated with messages and lots of photos, which made being away so much easier. We always felt in the loop and confident that everything was being handled beautifully. Georgina is responsible, thoughtful, and incredibly thorough. We feel so lucky to have found her and she will absolutely be our go-to sitter moving forward. Highly, highly recommend!”
“Viky was incredible! Appreciated her being able to tackle on a last second house sitting and Monty was left in excellent care. She was incredibly communicatice throughout :)”
“Cody was great. He sent us photo updates and was a good sport when the power went out just as he was arriving. He left the house clean and the dogs happy.”
“Courtney is great! She made an effort to get to know my dog and took really good care of her, keeping me informed through pictures and texts. When I returned home, my dog didn't want her to leave!”
About: Full disclosure, candor, your vocabulary word of choice. Hello, I’m André. I’m a 30y/o Los Angeles pet dad, looking for a nice side gig as well as a way to Connect & edify myself with pet-care & social skills going to forward. Primarily with the animals, yet as well built communicative skills with individuals. -Cheers, André. ✌🏽 Currently I am self-employed. Be that as it may, I have quite the open/flexible schedule. Adherence to any fitted schedule isn’t necessary. Unless communicated prior, scheduling shouldn’t ever be an issue of concern. I’ve been surrounded by, and lived with and have familial pets all throughout my life, but I’ve only recently become a pet father myself as of eight months ago. Actions I take in my home to cater to, and care for my pets include the following: -Thorough research on how to continue to better myself as a parent towards my pets. -Patience becoming more and more a virtue 😅 ha. -Repetition -Understanding Acts of discipline, or constructive experiences to better the bond between myself and my pets, are dismal. Redirection, and communication with the pets consistently build the bond. Consistent, and I mean consistent playtime, proper feeding schedule, toys…I’ve built quite the furniture shop for my cats. Lastly just love them, damn. 😁
About: I've had pets all my life. I've had dogs, cats, fish, and turtles. I've also cared for hamsters, rabbits, and guinea pigs before. I've walked, fed, bathed, house sat, and played with pets belonging to family and friends. Having had my own pets throughout my life, I know how precious furry friends are. I will tend to your pet with utmost care! I'm currently working on my master's so my schedule is inconsistent. However, if you need me to care for your pet at a specific time, please contact me and we can try to work something out! How I care for your pets will largely depend on your preferences as the owner. I want to get to know your pet's personality, preferences, and energy leveI. I would like a general schedule of feeding and bathroom times and instructions. In your home, I can play with your pet, sit next to them, cuddle with them, or go out for brief walks.
“I highly recommend Casey. This last stay got off to a rough start because my air conditioning broke down the day before I left. I had to scramble to make some changes because neither Casey or my dog (also named Casey) could stay in the house with no AC. Casey went over and beyond, arranging to be here for two different appointments to repair the AC and going to pick up my dog where he was temporarily being boarded. She sent me loads of photos and videos and made me feel very reassured that my dog and the house were well cared for. I will definitely book her, again.”
“Denise have been walking Stella and Milo many times a week and babsitted them in my home a few times in the past few months! I feel very safe knowing she is the one coming, the pups adore her and she always gives a lot of updates/pictures! 🤗”
“TJ was phenomenal!! I’ve used rover a few times and have not had the best experiences, so TJ was a breath of fresh air. When he came by beforehand to meet my pets, he was taking notes, which really put me at ease that they would be taken care of well. He sent photos and updates throughout my trip, so I was able to enjoy my time away not worry about my animals. Lastly, he left my home spotless, even did the dishes and washed the bedding and towels! I almost didn’t want to leave a review because I don’t want him to get too busy, but he deserves it! Thanks TJ!”
“Nare was so kind and loved our pets for a few nights. She communicated with us everyday and sent photos of the happy animals. Would absolutely recommend! Our dog and cat gravitated to her as soon as they met”

Hannah did an excellent job with an 11-day house sit for our two dogs and cat. She provided daily updates and photos, and even some trouble shooting with an issue with our security system. Hannah is kind and responsible and we’d love to have her housesit for us again!
Kristine was amazing with our boys. We came home to tired, happy pups, which told us they got plenty of playtime and attention. The house was also clean and tidy—honestly like she was never even here. She was communicative, prompt, and really easy to work with. We’d absolutely love to have her back again if she’s available the next time we need someone to watch our boys.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 13,007 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Sunland. 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 Sunland 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 Sunland 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 Sunland 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.

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.
