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!

Mia was a phenomenal sitter for my two pups! We recently moved from Dallas to Miami, and I was nervous to leave them, but Mia was quick to step in and love on them. She sent photos and/or videos every day while I was away, which put my heart at ease. By the time I returned home, they were great friends! I will absolutely be partnering with Mia again!

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! ❤️

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: From raising and bottle-feeding kittens to training and walking high-energy dog breeds (uncertified training for the joy of it) to cleaning horse stalls, I know that pet care takes careful, loving work! Whether you need someone just to be attentive and in the same space as your low-energy pet, long walks and lots of play for your high-energy pet, or high communication, special care for a higher- needs pet, I am ready to meet you and your pet’s needs. I am currently in between my college studies and a job in the fall, so I have very open availability! I am a classical musician, so I may have some weekend nights that I am out performing or rehearsing for a few hours, but I am willing to discuss and meet your time and care needs for your pet(s). I would like to care for your pets as closely to the same way that you do, so it is helpful to know routines for your pet, such as getting a treat after using the potty, eating schedule, walk schedule, amount of cuddles/play time they typically enjoy, crating/no-crating, etc. I will be available for as much communication as you would like while I care for your pet(s) and love sending you cute pics of your pet!

About: I have over 8 years of experience caring for animals. Throughout my pet-sitting journey, I’ve had the pleasure of caring not only for furry four-legged friends, but also barn animals, reptiles, rodents, and aquatic pets. I am a reliable, communicative, loving, and attentive sitter who provides not just the experience your pet needs, but also the love, care, and peace of mind every pet parent deserves. Pet sitting is my full-time profession, which allows me to provide consistent, attentive care and flexible scheduling. I intentionally limit the number of bookings I accept to ensure each pet receives my full attention, so early reservations are recommended. Your pet’s safety is always my top priority. I carefully follow all feeding, medication, and exercise instructions exactly as provided. I maintain a clean, secure environment and closely monitor behavior to ensure comfort and well-being. I provide regular updates with photos and detailed communication so you feel confident and informed while you’re away.

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: Hi! I’m Celine, a Master’s student at the University of Miami, and I’m excited to be back on Rover! 🐾 I’ve been caring for animals for over 8 years and have experience with dogs, cats, and small pets, including chinchillas, guinea pigs, and frogs. In addition to caring for my own family pets, I’ve pet sat for friends and family and volunteered at a local animal rescue, where I gained valuable experience working with dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Before taking a break from Rover for personal family reasons, I had the pleasure of caring for dozens of pets and earned a 4.9-star rating from nearly 50 reviews. I’m now back and excited to provide dependable, loving care to pets and peace of mind to their owners.⭐️ As a graduate student, I enjoy spending my free time outdoors, and dog walking and pet sitting are the perfect way for me to do what I love while helping busy pet parents. Whether your dog needs a fun walk, your cat needs company, or your pet just needs a little extra love while you’re away, I’ll treat them like one of my own.💖 Communication is very important to me, so you can always expect prompt responses, photo updates, and plenty of love and attention for your furry family member. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! 💖🐶🐱💖 Currently, my availability is fairly open outside of my classes, so I have a lot of time to spend with your pet! I am more than looking forward to spending time with them and having fun!💖 Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, and any special instructions so they feel as comfortable as possible while you're away. During walks, I keep dogs safely leashed (unless we're in a designated off-leash area with your permission), avoid unsafe situations, and make sure they get the exercise and attention they need. In your home, I'll treat your space with the same respect I would my own and follow all feeding, medication, and care instructions carefully. I'll also send regular photo and video updates so you can feel confident knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.

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.

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.

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. Your pet will be a loved part of our peaceful daily life. We care for pets in a calm, loving environment. In our home, they’ll enjoy a large, secure yard for play and exercise, and a clean, cozy space indoors where they can relax and feel at home. We’re always present, making sure they get plenty of attention, love, and care throughout the day. When caring for pets in a client’s home, we follow all instructions carefully to maintain their routine. 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.

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!

We left our 1 year old dog with autumn for 15 days while we traveled abroad. We have only had our dog for a couple months, so she’s still in training. Autumn kept up the training while we were away which we really appreciated. She communicated with us every day, and it really helped us relax and enjoy our vacation knowing our girl was safe with Autumn. We came back to a clean home & a happy dog which is all we can ask for!

About: I have been surrounded by dogs and puppies literally since the day I was born. Growing up in a pet-loving home gave me a deep, natural understanding of canine behavior, from the high-energy needs of training a new puppy to the daily routines of adult dogs. Now, at 23 years old, I am proud to offer reliable, attentive, and loving care for your fur babies. I specialize in daily walks, structured playtime, and maintaining whatever feeding or medication schedules your dog thrives on. Whether your pet needs an energetic walk around the neighborhood or just a patient companion to hang out with, I treat every dog with the exact same care and respect I give my own. I have a highly flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of quality time to your pets. I am fully available for overnight house sitting, weekends, and daily check-ins or walks. Because pet care is my primary focus during bookings, I can easily adapt to your pet's specific routine, ensuring they get their meals, bathroom breaks, and exercise exactly on time. Safety is my absolute top priority when caring for your pets in your home. I am highly attentive and always make sure doors and gates are securely locked before letting pets move around. During walks, I keep dogs on a secure leash and stay completely aware of our surroundings. I respect your home, keep it completely clean, and will send you regular photo updates so you always have peace of mind while you're away.

About: Hi! My name is Alana, and while this is my first Rover profile, I’ve actually been pet sitting through my family’s Rover account for the past five years. Caring for animals has always been something I genuinely love. I enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality, whether they love long walks, playing fetch, curling up for cuddles, or just having someone nearby to keep them company. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry baby, and I treat every dog and cat as if they were my own. I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and updates, so you can have peace of mind knowing they’re happy and well cared for. I’m currently a university student in Miami, which gives me a flexible and predictable schedule. I receive my class schedule well in advance each semester, allowing me to plan my availability and fully commit to the pets in my care. Most of my classes are only a few times a week and aren’t all-day commitments, so I have plenty of time to provide walks, playtime, companionship, and attentive care. Outside of class, my schedule is very open, and I make it a priority to give every pet the time, attention, and love they deserve. If you have specific scheduling needs, I’m always happy to communicate and do my best to accommodate them! For the past five years, I’ve helped care for pets through my family’s Rover account, where we’ve always focused on providing a calm, safe, and personalized experience. I understand that every pet has their own routine, personality, and needs, so I make it a priority to follow every instruction exactly as provided from feeding schedules and walks to medications, playtime, and any house rules. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat both your home and your pet with the same respect and care I would my own. My goal is to keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable, secure, and loved while you’re away. I know how important trust is, and I take that responsibility seriously. I believe every pet deserves patience, affection, and companionship. Whether we’re playing, going for walks, or simply relaxing together, I make sure they’re never left feeling ignored or lonely. My priority is always to create a safe, loving environment where your pet feels happy, comfortable, and cared for until you return.

About: Animals have always been a very important part of my life. I have cared for dogs and cats throughout my entire life and have a genuine love for all pets. While growing up in Peru, I rescued numerous abandoned dogs and cats, helping them recover by providing care, food, and lots of affection until they regained their health. These experiences taught me the importance of patience, dedication, and paying close attention to the individual needs of each animal. Since moving to the United States, I have cared for two dogs and one cat, providing them with a life filled with love, comfort, and attention. My most recent dog had a disability and required daily medication, a special diet, and additional care. Through this experience, I learned the importance of maintaining routines, administering medications properly, and being attentive to any special needs a pet may have. I strive to treat every pet as if they were part of my own family. I am responsible, caring, and highly observant of their physical and emotional needs. My priority is to ensure that your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for at all times. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate time and attention to the pets in my care. I am available during weekdays and weekends for walks, drop-in visits, daycare, or boarding, ensuring that they receive plenty of affection, exercise, and companionship throughout their stay. I treat every pet as if they were part of my own family. I always follow the owner’s instructions regarding feeding, medications, and daily routines. I maintain a clean, safe, and calm environment, supervise pets at all times, and make sure they have fresh water, playtime, walks, and plenty of affection so they feel comfortable and happy.

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.

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!

FAQs for House Sitting - Sunset

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.

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.
