“We loved Macyn so much! She gave us such a comfort right from our first meet - knowing our pups would be in the best hands. She was responsive and great at helping us with anything we needed. We recommend her to everyone and cannot wait to book with her again in the future”
“Brea and Jeffrey, we are SO lucky to have had you with our fur babies!! For anyone looking for a sitter for their babies, look no further! Brea went the extra mile on everything you could think of + more! From check ins to photos, we were kept in the loop every day, giving us a much needed ease being in a different state from our pup and kitties! Having someone be so respectful of our home, our pets, and their health and needs was so refreshing and will have us recommending and rebooking Brea any time we can for our trips away from home. Thank you again, a million times over for your incredible care and attentiveness to our bunch!”
“Therese did a wonderful job taking care of our pups, even though she was not feeling well. She also tackled our outside critters too even having to deal with 1.3” of rain that came down while she was here. She went the extra mile to do everything we needed. Thanks so much Therese and River.com too.”
“Monica was quick to respond and was willing to help with short notice. Very friendly and pets took to her quickly. Left everything neat and tidy. Hope to be able to have her again.”
“Kylee was very polite and took wonderful care of our dogs, and home! Everything looked nicer then when I left it, and she gave us consistent updates and pictures each day which we really enjoyed. Thank you so much Kylee, definitely will be happy to have your help in the future!”
“Will was absolutely amazing with Calvin and took such great care of both him and our home while we were away for the weekend. He went above and beyond in every way and handled an unexpected situation with so much care, attentiveness, and professionalism. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Calvin was in such good hands. Will is dependable, kind, and clearly someone who genuinely cares about the pets he watches. I would absolutely book with him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone trustworthy who will truly show up and get the job done.”
“Kailey watched 2 of our dogs at home for a long weekend. She is responsive, respectful, and kind. Kailey asked plenty of questions to make sure she could meet our expectations. House was kept tidy and Kailey was thoughtful to put the linens in the laundry room and clean the poop in the yard. I came home later than expected and Kailey offered to come back for a potty break. Girls seemed calm and content when I got home. Grateful for Kailey!”
“Paige was so incredible with our three big dogs, one of whom is reactive and another is a giant puppy. She was communicative and took great care of our home too! She sent lots of pictures and even left us a cute note about her time with the pups :)”
“Shannon was amazing. She hit it off with my two dogs right away. They slept with her and she did amazing. I will use her again when needed. Oh, and the house was spotless. Pick Shannon, you won't be disappointed.”
“Sharlene was awesome! She took care of our puppy Comet and was available under very short notice. She took him on walks and he was pretty happy when we came back ?”
“Our dogs received so much love and care! Our two 100lb+ dogs require detailed arrangements to prevent aggression and they were treated with excellent care and attention - specifically with extra comfort for the 4th of July fireworks noise. We look forward to booking again!”
“Melvina went above and beyond to make my 2 older dogs feel happy and loved. She walked them, handled their meds and gave them lots of love. She also coordinated to make sure my brother would be home when she left. She’s great!”
“Kiki and Laura were amazing!! After a few incidents with other catsitters this past year, we were very nervous to leave our cat over the holidays. Laura was so attentive, made sure to spend a lot of time with him (even though it was Christmas!), and kept us updated with lots of photos. She even offered to stay late when it looked like we wouldn’t make our flight home. When we got back, our house was spotless and our cat was as happy as could be! It was wonderful to know he was in such safe hands. Laura will definitely be our go-to catsitter from now on!”
“Aayana was great to work with and the cats/house were well taken care of. She was incredibly flexible when we had inclement weather affect our travel plans and we will definitely use her again in the future!”
“Hannah took incredible care of Ralph while I was out of state. She is professional through and through and will be my go to house sitter as long as she continues doing Rover. She provided many updates and photos throughout the long weekend which was much appreciated.”
“Queston took care of Charlie like he was his own. Ran him a ton (which he needs) and took some great action shots! I really liked that he checked in each morning and night and was available when I reached out to him. I highly recommend!”
“Carol did a terrific job looking after our three dogs while we were away. She was very organized and professional, and we knew our dogs were well taken care of. We were very impressed with her ability to quickly make friends with our shy dog, Logan! If you're in need of a house/dog sitter, hire Carol!”
“Nancy was wonderful with my dog & cat. She took my little one on fun adventures, sent photos & videos, and I loved getting daily updates on how their days are going. I’m very grateful to have found Nancy to love my littles & help keep my mind at ease.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Tortilla Flat
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 2,937 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Tortilla Flat. 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 Tortilla Flat 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 Tortilla Flat 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 Tortilla Flat 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.
