“Azucena (Zu) took such great care of Titi over the weekend! From the moment we left, we felt completely at ease knowing Titi was in good hands. She followed all instructions perfectly, kept us updated with pictures and videos, and showed so much love and attention to Titi, especially important since she’s a senior dog. We could tell Titi was comfortable, happy, and well cared for the entire time. Zu went above and beyond, and we truly appreciated her communication and kindness. We would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable and caring. Thank you so much, Zu! ❤️”
“Sam sent a note that she would be early to our place which demonstrated a facet of her exceptional communication skills. She is an excellent listener as my wife and I provided an overview and asked the right questions to get the right answers. Sam bonded extremely sell with Athena, playing on the terrace, taking her out for breaks and relaxing on the couch! Sam will be supporting overnights for us during an upcoming trip. Highly recommend Sam to help take excellent care of your dog!”
About: I’ve been doing doggie sitting for approximately a decade and officially on Rover since 2021. Our teens love dogs but at this stage in our life I (mom) is not willing to get us a pet- we have lots of love to give but we want to maintain our flexibility for travel. This is what makes Rover and excellent fit for us! I am a nurse who works until approximately 3p and I alternate hospital/home work environment. Our high school aged kiddos love nothing more than coming home to play and show your doggie lots of love! We exercise every afternoon- we are a triathlete family and love staying active, thus walking and playing outdoors with your pup would be an utter joy for us. We have a single family home with fenced in spacious back yard for your pup to explore. Front yard as well and healthy and active gated community with a park/playground near by which we frequently walk to and play in. We can and will implement any needs for your pet to make him feel right at home. We have old-ish laminate flooring and we certainly dont mind the occasional accidents that come with pets exploring and adjusting to new environments. We can adjust to almost any per routine due to our flexible work schedules. We want this time apart to be as seamless as possible for your pup and his/her family. I do not currently have any pets in our home and thus our attention and care will be fully on your pup. Siblings are always welcomed together of course!
About: I have lifelong experience caring for dogs of all ages and personalities. Growing up, I cared for two family dogs, including senior dogs who required extra patience and attention. I also helped train my sibling’s puppy, teaching basic commands like sit and lay down, as well as successful potty training. In addition, I’ve cared for friends’ dogs, including a pit bull, making sure she was well-exercised with daily walks, playtime, and plenty of healthy treats. I’m reliable, attentive, and treat every dog as if they were my own—providing love, structure, and lots of fun. I am in school full time. I am available every day Please let me know what days are needed in advance for house sitting or visits. I watch over the pet the whole time and ensure their safety. It’s important to me that while I’m with them, they have exercise and eat their food
“Stephanie was absolutely amazing! She accepted my Rover booking on very short notice, just a few days before the service, which immediately gave me so much relief. From the start, she was communicative, professional, trustworthy, and incredibly reliable. She took such great care of my pups and kept me updated with regular messages and photos, which made me feel completely at ease while I was away. My pups were happy, relaxed, and clearly very well cared for when I returned home. It was obvious they felt comfortable with her, and they warmed up to her right away — which says everything. Not only were my dogs happy, but my home was also left very tidy and well cared for. Stephanie truly went above and beyond, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, dependable, and attentive sitter. I would absolutely book with her again!”
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. I currently have two cats, two dogs, and a parrot, so I truly understand how much love and attention pets need every day. From feeding, walking, and playtime to keeping them comfortable and happy, I enjoy every part of taking care of animals. Whether it’s a high-energy puppy or a shy cat, I’m patient, gentle, and treat every pet as if they were my own. I know how important it is to have someone you can trust with your furry (or feathered!) family members, and I always aim to give them the same love and care they get at home. I’ve cared for pets my whole life! I’m free most of the week: Monday, Wednesday, and Friday anytime; Tuesday and Thursday after late afternoon (5pm); weekends all day, perfect for walks, visits, or boarding. I love keeping pets happy, healthy, and comfortable, and I treat every animal like family. I have two friendly dogs and a large, fully fenced yard with plenty of space for pets to run and play safely. I can adapt to any routine, provide fresh food and water, and maintain a clean, comfortable space. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I prioritize safety, supervision, and creating a calm, loving environment so every pet feels happy, secure, and well cared for.
About: I have had numerous pets throughout my life and currently have 2 cats. I love animals and frankly have all the time in the world right now during summer to come help you with your pets. I am a full time student at FSU and am currently home for the summer. I can absolutely fit pet care into my daily routine as I am not enrolled in any summer classes. I can pass a background check if needed, (never committed a crime), and can do practically anything you need for your animals, feeding, walking, cleaning litter boxes, or just spending time with them.
“We feel so lucky to have found Natalia! From our first meet and greet, it was clear that our dog and Natalia had an instant connection. Natalia is genuinely kind and caring, and she took amazing care of both our pup and our home while we were away. She kept us updated every day with photos and videos, which really put our minds at ease. Coming home to a happy dog and a tidy house was the best feeling. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter and will absolutely be booking her again!”
About: I have taken care of animals pretty much all my life from childhood to now. I provided love and care to all my furry friends. No matter what size or breed. I am mostly available during weekends or week day evenings if needed for short visits to let your little one out. I do work full time during the week but my weekends are flexible. That being said I do have my partner ( Carlos) who has more flexibility with time. If I am not available he will be. Let’s have a greet and meet and we can take it from there. Please note that due to the high demand, we have set up a specific time frames for drop off and pick ups. Drop off can be as early as 7 AM between the hours of 7 AM and 8 AM or after 3 PM. For pick up times we do have a cut off during the week of 9:30 PM. This timeframe is only for weekdays. We are more available and more flexible on weekends. We have a large fenced backyard. Plenty of room for your pet to run. We can provide a safe place for your pet. Crates or cages are available if needed. I strive for pet safety! Home drop in visits can be done upon request. We will make sure your pet feels comfortable with us no matter the location.
“My father passed away unexpectedly and I had to leave for New York within minutes. My biggest concern was my two dogs. I reached out to Anna and she came immediately without hesitation. From that moment on, I was completely worry-free. She sent consistent updates, photos, and videos, and my dogs were clearly happy and well cared for the entire week. She stayed with them full-time and kept me calm during a very difficult time. When I returned home, my house was spotless and beautifully organized. She truly went above and beyond. She is the best dog sitter I’ve used in 9 years — 100% trustworthy and reliable. I will absolutely be using her again.”
“Alana was wonderful with our baby Kaya. She sent photos, updates and was quick to answer any questions we had. She was able to give our dog her medicine, and took her for her regular walks. We came home to a spotless home, and a happy dog. We look forward to having Alana come back soon, without hesitation. Thank you Alana!”
“Maddie was amazing! Incredibly flexible and understanding, I went away for several days and had zero worries thanks to Maddie. My dog has some health concerns which Maddie handled perfectly. Could not recommend someone more to trust both in your home and with your pet.”
About: We’re retired pet lovers starting a new chapter in life. With all our kids grown and out of the house, we now enjoy our spacious 4-bedroom, 3-bath home in Kendall — complete with a large yard and lots of love to give! We’ve had pets our entire lives and truly know how to care for and love them. Over the years, we’ve looked after dogs and cats for friends and private clients, both in our home and theirs. We’re experienced with feeding, cleaning, administering medication, and—most importantly—making animals feel safe, happy, and loved. Now that we’re retired, we have the time and heart to welcome furry guests into our home. Our big yard is perfect for running and playing, and our calm, peaceful lifestyle means your pet will always have company, comfort, and attention. Our home may feel a little too quiet these days—so we’d love to fill it with happy paws and wagging tails. ✨ Pickup and drop-off available for a fee, depending on your location 🗣️ English & Español spoken As a retired couple, we have full availability during the week and weekends. Our daily routine is calm and flexible, which allows us to give each pet the time and attention they deserve. We wake up early, spend time in the yard or go for walks (if needed), and we’re home most of the day to make sure pets are never alone and always feel cared for. Afternoons are for playtime, cuddles, or rest, depending on the pet’s needs. We’re also flexible and happy to follow any special routines or schedules.

We make sure they’re fed on time, walked if needed, and given lots of affection so they feel safe and comfortable while you're away. Whether in our home or yours, your pet will be treated like family.
“I was very happy with Ashley. She took care of Champ so well. He hates to be alone and when I came home he was so calm as if I'd never left. I will definitely be using her again. So pleased to be able to have found someone I can trust and depend on.”
“Bella is a very caring and responsible dog sitter. We have a 15 year old dog that requires lots of attention and Bella did an amazing job with her. Our dog was really happy and well-cared for. She was very communicative and had great attention to detail. She treated our home with respect and left it like she found it. It’s a great peace of mind for us to know that our baby was in good hands. We will definitely be calling Bella again.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Sunset
Mia is an absolutely wonderful dog sitter! From the moment we met her, it was clear how much she genuinely loves and cares for animals. She was kind, reliable & attentive. Mia kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. When we returned, our dog was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. I would recommend Mia without hesitation to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and dependable dog sitter. She exceeded all of our expectations, and we will definitely be using her services again. Thank you, Mia, for taking such incredible care of our Coco!
Liz is absolutely wonderful! Reliable, kind and truly loving to your fur babies. She sends photos and updates and you will feel truly at ease with her watching your littles at home. I highly recommend booking Liz and will seek her again for our next pet sitting.
I would recommend Maddie to anyone looking for someone who gives their pet lots of attention when you leave them with her. She gave me lots of updates and had great communication. My pup is also a special needs dog and she did really great with tending to his emotional and physical needs. He needs a lot of patience to trust and when I returned to pick him up he was very comfortable with her ❤️❤️❤️
Natalie was so great! We did a couple meet and greets as one of my babies is a little wary of new people. She was so patient and a dog whisper. Both my dogs took to her so fast. She was extremely communicative during our trip and sent lots of photos. She followed all our instructions perfectly and gave our dogs lots of love and attention. We would love to have her house sit for them again in the future
This is the second time she’s helped us out and it honestly feels amazing leaving our dogs with someone we trust completely. We never worry about them for a second. If anything, I almost feel guilty because we trust her so much that we literally forget we even own dogs… at least I do 😂 She’s the best and we couldn’t recommend her more.
Amanda was amazing once again. She accepted a last-minute weekend request and took such great care of our two dogs. She kept us updated with photos and messages, and since this was her second time staying with them, they were clearly excited to see her again. What made this stay extra special was the personal touch—she left us a handwritten note and even an embroidered patch featuring both dogs. It was such a thoughtful surprise. We truly feel at ease knowing Amanda is with them, and we can’t wait to have her back again. Highly recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Sunset on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 3,295 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Sunset. 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 Sunset 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 Sunset 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 Sunset 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 Sunset. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 99% 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.
