“Allea did a wonderful job watching our cat, dog, hamster, and frogs! She provided photo updates/check-ins and left our home the same way we left it. I especially appreciated the time she spent with our dog, Teddy. It was clear she made sure to give our anxious guy company as he was stress free when we came home. We hope to have Allea over again in the future!”
“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!”
“Ebony did a great job watching our two dogs. She updated us every day with pictures of our pups, had good communication throughout her stay, and took great care of our home. We would definitely book with Ebony again.”
“Louis was a fantastic pet sitter! Our 3 girls were happy, healthy, and very well played with. Our house was clean, as Louis washed all the dishes he used. He watered my plants and even left a plant that needed a home behind for me! He was timely with communication and punctual with feeding, and he followed directions perfectly. He is the first person I will ask for pet sitting in the future! I highly recommend Louis and his services.”
“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.”
“Sandra house sat for us over a long weekend and took great care of our home and our two cats and dog. She checked in a few times to let us know things were going well and I appreciated that. She left our home very clean. We look forward to booking with Sandra again!”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life. I’ve owned and cared for animals of all types ranging from reptiles to large livestock. I have experience training puppies as well as working on smaller things like simple manners and attentiveness. I’ve have past job history working at a vet based boarding facility and am comfortable and knowledgeable on give meds and handling dogs when away from their people. I am available for drop in visits and dog walking 7 days a week! Monday through Friday I am available after 1pm, weekends I’m open all day for your furry friends! I treat all clients animals as if they were my own. They are cared for very well while clients are gone away from the home. Lots of love, play time, and just hanging out. If wanted by clients, dogs are regularly walked and exercised (I’m a hiker so am happy to take them to do outdoor hikes as well) along with regular care as if their parents never even left. I try to keep a relatively realistic schedule and life for animals while parents are gone so that they don’t have much stress when parents are away.
“Our boys loved having Kristina stay with them! She is very attentive and made sure they were comfortable. She cares for your pets as if they are her own. Kristina was very communicative and sent regular updates and pictures. We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing the boys were in great hands. In fact, we’ve already booked another stay with Kristina! 🐕🦺🐶”
“Summer is a wonderful, conscientious, and highly competent sitter. Our Zoe has issues and needs medication. Summer did all of this perfectly. I was especially impressed by how many questions she asked us when we were meeting and giving instructions. 10 out of 10.”

“Sarah did an amazing job with a last minute booking. She took on 3 working dogs, one of whom has heart issues, medications, and special feeding instructions. She and I stayed in communication the whole time and it went off without a hitch…on my end anyways. Sarah was willing to come back in case of any travel issues which I greatly appreciated. Will definitely use her again as I came home to 3 happy dogs!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Tolo
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Tolo on Rover is $55.5 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 269 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Tolo. 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 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 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.
