“Allea took care of my two cats for a week, staying in my house, and she did a wonderful job. They're both shy but she won them over quickly and, on my return, they seem calm and happy, very different than in the past when I've gone and returned. She communicated with pics daily and left the house perfect. I highly recommend her for your pet sitting. needs.”
“Austin was very professional and friendly. I felt comfortable leaving my elderly dog and home in his care and he did a wonderful job - lots of pictures and snuggles and walks. I came home to a clean house and a relaxed dog. I’ll definitely be booking with him again.”
“Kristen cared for my for and my 2 cats (one with separation anxiety issues) for 6 days. She was pretty darn nice about the cat problems and sent photos and updates regularly. She’s an absolute delight and I will call on her help again. I’ve already recommended her to several of my friends.”
“Taylor came through last minute for me and I am so grateful. I had no reservations leaving my dogs with her. She is super professional. Set up a time to meet right away and I could tell that she really knows what she is doing, and she would follow through which she did. Communication was amazing and my pups seemed very happy. Would not hesitate to use her again.”
About: I’m very attentive to the animals in my care, especially my fish, whose individual needs I’ve spent countless hours learning. I’ve also cared for dogs, cats, birds, and turtles. I love giving animals a happy, healthy life, and although my current housing limits the pets I can have, I look forward to spending more time with animals and providing them with loving care. I am currently in school(online), and so I have had a lot of free time on my hands. That is why my availability is wide open even on weekends. It would be my great pleasure to spend that time with beloved animals. I make sure to keep them well fed and well played with. Each of my pets have had different needs as well as different personalities, so i have learned to understand them individualy and really get to know them. I have also had practice with gaining the trust of rescued animals and practiced how to be gentle and calm, as well as helping them come out of there shell.
“Lara was a great dog sitter. I hired her while I took a long weekend trip. She walked my dog Magnet multiple times per day and even took her to the dog park. She left my house in great shape and I would definitely use her again. Thanks Lara!”
“Patricia took incredible care of our home abd our pup Zoe. Zoe has medication and behavioral needs and Patricia took it all in stride. Communication was great and she really goes the extra mile with your pet while you are away. 10/10”
About: I grew up around dogs whether it was at home, family members houses or friends houses. I have a lot of experience with dogs of every size. I was 10 years old when I got my first dog, Poppy, and learned everything I needed to know to care for her. I’ve been dog sitting for friends and family for a few years now and would love to care for yours. My dog usually accompanies me on longer stays if permitted. Pet care is very important and should always fit into any pet owner’s schedule so I have no problem fitting it into mine because they are family. Your furry family member will feel right at home in their own house so that should help keep any anxiety levels down while you are away and it will help with feeding, sleeping and bathing.
“Elizabeth looked after Pepper, our Boston terrier for 25 days - not a small amount of time - and the longest period we'd been apart. Elizabeth was great - we got regular photo's and updates. Pepper was happy and in great shape when we came home and the house was immaculate. Elizabeth was lovely, and really took care of Pepper and we're very thankful for her looking after Pepper on quite short notice for so long over the holiday period. Will definitely be looking to Elizabeth as our go-to siter in future. Thank you!!”
“Danielle was AWESOME! Super communicative, shared a lot of unrequested photos which shows she truly cares, and the house was perfect when I got home. Will definitely reach out to her again for sitting needs.”
“Cierra was fantastic and we look forward to having her back! She communicated efficiently and stayed in touch with us throughout our time away. We felt so comfortable with her care, receiving photos and videos during walks and dinner time. She left our home better than when she arrived, going above and beyond to throw her bed linens in the wash and run the vacuum. We can’t wait to have you back, thanks, Cierra!”
“She is kind and sent pictures. She took her for walks and played in the back yard with her balls. Coco really likes her. Kelli gave us comfort in leaving Coco with her. We would have her back again.”
“Michelle did great staying a weekend with our high anxiety pup. He seemed happy with less anxiety than normal after leaving him for a weekend. She sent pictures and updates and left the house as if she had never even been there. We really appreciate her time with Gibson and would contact her again for pet sitting.”
“We are very happy Madison agreed to watch our fur army in our home. Her communication was fantastic. She kept us updated on how they were doing and when we arrived back home, our house was very neat and tidy and our fur babies looked like they had a great weekend! We highly recommend Madison and we hope she will be available for the next time we have to go away!”
“Laura was wonderful! After meeting her we were very comfortable with leaving our two Shelties with her and having her stay in our home. It was a great relief to find Laura! She was very affectionate with our dogs and showed great attention to understanding the details of caring for them. She bonded with them immediately, and we are sure they missed her after we returned home. Laura stayed in touch while we were away and sent us some really great pictures. We recommend Laura without hesitation!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Tolo
We always enjoy having Allea house sit for our pets. She provides the perfect amount of updates, and keeps the space just the way we left it. We have always felt we can trust her and have peace of mind while we are out of town! Thank you so much for watching Teddy, Quimchee, and the frogs!
Gabrielle was wonderful while my husband and I were away for the weekend! She was very communicative and incredibly patient with our cat, who isn’t always the friendliest with guests. She was also very understanding of our dog Teddy’s anxiety and took great care of him, even when he had a few anxious accidents. Our home was exactly as we left it, and she followed all of our instructions perfectly. We would be happy to have her watch our pets again!

The average cost of House Sitting in Tolo is $56 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $39 and $67 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 Tolo 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 Tolo 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 Tolo 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.
