“Erica was great with my cat Lennon! Lennon can be spicy and take time to warm up but Erica spent time with her and gave her treats and played with her. I also got daily updates and pictures throughout Erica’s stay. I would definitely recommend her!”
About: 🐾 New to Rover, Not to Pet Care! Hi, I’m Shelby! 👋 Although I’m new to Rover, I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for 12+ years. From playful puppies to senior pets and those with special needs, I provide patient, reliable care tailored to each pet’s unique personality and routine. ❤️ As a Direct Support Professional, caring for others is what I do every day. You can count on me to be dependable, attentive, and treat your pets like family. ✨ What you can expect: 🐶 12+ years of pet care experience 💊 Medication administration 🐾 Experience with puppies, seniors & special needs 📸 Frequent photo updates 🚶 Walks, playtime & enrichment 💙 Lots of love, cuddles, and personalized care I know leaving your pet with someone new can feel overwhelming. My goal is to give you peace of mind while making sure your pet feels safe, loved, and right at home. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family! 🐕🐈 I work full time swings typically 3p-10/12p it varies during the week. When I’m not working I’m a home body so your pets will have company with them most of the morning. I do know my schedule usually a month in advance so I am able to let you know before you officially book and you can decide if it works for you. I prefer to stay in their home which allows them to stay comfortable and in their own environment, new places can cause fur babies unnecessary stress and no one wants that. I prefer to keep their routine as normal as possible as well so if they get fed at 5 am I set an alarm to ensure they get fed at their normal time as well.
“Jada was amazing house sitting to take care of our pup blue! He needs special medicine in his food and needs a few more potty times than most and we came home to a happy guy! Thank you Jada!”
“Our usual dog sitter had to cancel on us last minute, so we were in a bind trying to find someone else to care for our sweet, special needs dog with less than a weeks notice. Big ask, especially last minute. Brandi was so quick to respond, happy to take on the job, and asked really good questions to ensure our doggo was well taken care of while we were gone. She sent pictures throughout our trip and made sure he had his medications at the times he needed them, and even took him to get a pup cup. She not only took great care of our dog, but our house as well. We came back to the house as we left it. She was kind, reliable, and we absolutely loved working with her. We will definitely be reaching out to her again.”
About: I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember! Last year, I even completed a service project focused on educating others about the importance of pet enrichment and proper care. I’ll treat your furry friend like my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for every step of the way! I am currently a student at Weber state studying elementary education so I have my student teaching from 8am-11am. I am often available outside of these times. Your pet is safe with me, pets will stay leashed at all times unless we are in a safely locked environment. I also will practice recall often.
“We’ve booked with her multiple times, and she has been amazing every single time! She takes such great care of our dogs, sends thoughtful updates and photos, and truly treats them like her own. Our dogs absolutely love her, and we always have complete peace of mind knowing they’re in such caring hands. We highly recommend her and will definitely keep booking with her!”
“Aubree was great! Our plans changed multiple times leading up to the house sitting and she was able to adapt and provide excellent care to our boys. We felt they were in good hands the entire time we were gone and would be happy to have her back anytime!”
“What an awesome sitter. My dogs were well taken care of. Plus after the weekend she stripped her bedding and put it in the laundry room. Everything was clean. Definitely will request her again”
About: I have over 5 years of experience as a veterinary technician and over 5 years as a professional dog groomer, giving me a strong background in animal health, behavior, and care. I’ve been around animals for as long as I can remember and have experience caring for all kinds of animals. I’m comfortable working with puppies, senior pets, and animals with different personalities and needs.

Above all, I treat every animal as if they were my own, providing loving, attentive, and reliable care! Can also provide nail trims! I have a flexible work schedule that allows me to leave during the day as needed, so I can accommodate visits, walks, feedings, and check-ins throughout the week. I’m also completely free on weekends, making me available for weekend sitting, overnight stays, and longer care needs. I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that fits your pet’s routine and keeps them happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away! 🐾❤ With over 5 years of experience as a veterinary technician and 5+ years as a professional dog groomer, providing safe, loving, and attentive care for animals has always been a passion of mine! 🐾 I’ve been around animals my entire life and have experience caring for all kinds of pets, each with their own unique personalities and needs. When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible, whether that means feeding, walks, playtime, medication, or simply giving them extra love and attention. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. My veterinary background gives me experience recognizing changes in behavior and knowing when something may need extra attention.

My goal is to treat every pet like my own and give you peace of mind knowing your furry family members are in experienced, trustworthy, and loving hands! ❤️🐶
“Adrianna was excellent with our dog Seamus. He is usually very upset when we leave him and usually sad in the photos that are sent. With Adrianna, that wasn't the case. He always looked like he was having a great time. He was well-cared for with her. We are looking forward to having her babysit again very soon!”
“Emma did such a fantastic job with our kitties and our house while we were away for a week. We would absolutely use her services again and highly recommend her. She was thoughtful and thorough and we had peace of mind the entire week away. Our cats were so relaxed and happy when we returned. We can tell they were paid attention to and very comfortable with her. Our house was well taken care of and Emma was great with communications and pictures. Absolutely book her! Thanks again, Emma!”
“We had a wonderful experience with our dog sitter! She stayed in our home the entire time with our dogs and took excellent care of them. She was incredibly respectful of our space, kept the house very clean, and followed everything we asked. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our dogs were well cared for while we were away. We would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and responsible sitter.”

Traylor’s just the best with our girls. This is our 4th or 5th booking? She’s our go-to every time we’re out of town! I always appreciate her pics and communication while my husband and I are traveling for work, it gives me so much peace of mind knowing our pups are well taken care off!
Shelby did a fantastic job watching my two dogs and cat for two weeks while staying at my house. She was attentive, thoughtful, and clearly cared about making sure they were all happy and comfortable. For example, when she saw thunderstorms in the forecast, she proactively checked in to ask how the dogs do with thunder. She also sent regular photos and updates, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. I came home knowing they had been well cared for, and I would absolutely recommend Shelby to anyone looking for a reliable, caring petsitter!
Meghan did an amazing job watching Concrete and Onyx! She took great care of both of them and followed all of our instructions, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We came home to two happy, well cared for pups. We really appreciated having someone we could trust with them and would absolutely have Meghan watch them again!
Kianna was wonderful! Dealing with 3 Boxers plus a cat is a bit much for most people, but Kianna handled them all perfectly. Kinko our cat even let Kianna pet him which is impressive as he is pretty spicy most of the time (can’t blame him with 3 large Boxers in the household). Her concern for our albino Boxer was very much appreciated as well as he is very attached to his humans. With the limited WIFI availability we had during the trip was great for brief communication and receiving some photos of our boys too from Kianna. 100% would book again with Kianna for future needs.
Tayla was very kind and took great care of our Sammy girl! She washed the sheets and towels used which was not expected and we are appreciative of that extra step to leave the house clean for us! I would like a few more updates and pictures while we are gone to keep better communication (Sammy is our baby)! Other than that, she did wonderful and we would absolutely use her again! Thanks Tayla!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Sunset is $33 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $24 and $48 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 1,793 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 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.
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
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
