“Karol was amazing with our 15 week old golden retriever puppy. We had only had him fur two weeks when we left him with Karol and she did such a fantastic job with him! We have several more bookings with Karol!”
“Alison is a LIFESAVER. My wife and I were out of the state for a funeral. Our friends who were watching our dogs were no longer able to watch our two dogs anymore due to their apartment living. We were panicked trying to find another dog-sitter while more than half-way across the country. We came across the ‘Rover’ app and found Alison. Her reviews and returning customers really showed us how great she was with pups. Our dogs have anxiety and are a mess without us. Alison called my wife and I and asked so many great detailed questions. She showed empathy towards us and our situation. She wanted to know every detail of what happened and about pups (behavior, feedings, walks, etc.) This made us trust her even more, you can tell she loves animals so much. She met with our friends who were watching the dogs and agreed to watch them in our apartment for the week while out of town. We received pictures of our boys several times while we were gone and we knew they were in great hands. The house was just as we left it and the dogs looked so happy when we returned. We don’t know what we would do if it wasn’t for Alison. She is the BEST.”
“Kenna was amazing during her three day/night housesit with our dog Nacho. She was punctual, made us feel at ease right away, and sent us periodic updates and pictures of Nacho which we really appreciated. We would definitely invite Kenna back to dogsit for us.”
“Maria really saved us! We had another, different Rover dog sitter cancel on us a couple days before a week-long vacation to Mexico we had planned way out. Maria went well out of her way to make her schedule work for us at the last-minute. Most people would not want to deal with the hassle and we were convinced we might have to cancel our trip. She was great with our four-month old puppy. She kept us updated every day and took wonderful care of our house. She even helped us keep tabs on some construction we were doing in the back of the house. We can’t wait to book her again”
“Robyn was amazing. We booked last minute and had many schedule changes and she was very flexible and understanding. She left the house in better condition than she found it and our dogs loved her.”
“Lauren is a great house and pet sitter! She gave us regular updates and followed all instructions for our pets. Our dog has trust issues but it didn’t take him long to accept Lauren.”
“Danielle stayed in my home for 5 days with my 2 dogs and 2 cats. She took great care of them- one of my dogs needed unexpected antibiotics which she just worked into their routine with ease. The house was in perfect order upon my return, my animals happy and healthy. Fantastic job and lots of pictures and feedback! Thank you so much Danielle!”
“My dog and three cats had yet another wonderful weekend with Kaitlynn. No signs of separation anxiety upon our return and they were clearly well cared for. Kaitlynn follows schedules extremely carefully, keeping their comfort levels in mind first and foremost. She maintains their routines, gives them lots of attention, and makes sure they feel safe and happy! Can’t recommend her enough!”
“Madison was absolutely amazing! She watched Ellie for my boyfriend and me while we were on a trip, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Ellie adored her from the start! Madison kept us well-informed the entire time and sent plenty of photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She followed all of our instructions perfectly and even went above and beyond to make sure Ellie was happy and well-cared for. We will *definitely* be using Madison again. She truly is the sweetest, most caring girl, and we’re so grateful we found her! ❤️”
“Robert was wonderful! He was on time, very kind and took special care with our elderly and blind dachshund. She needs extra attention on walks and outside around our pool, he was very patient and understanding with this. He provided photos and detailed updates on how she was doing. Our house was spotless and our dog was calm and content when we arrived back home. We will be booking Rob for future dates.”
“Annette was simply amazing with my Sadie! She took her on lots of walks, sent me several pictures while I was away and treated Sadie like she was her own. She stayed at my house and left it spotless when she left. I will definitely use her services again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone very special to care for your fur baby.”
“Emily took the BEST care of our boys! She was attentive, she sent us messages the whole time we were away and she always let us know her schedule. We have a small puppy that is A LOT to handle and Emily did it with ease. She stayed at our house as well and took such great care of everything. I felt very safe having her there. Would recommend her to everyone!!”
“Melayna was excellent while watching our dog Beau! She provided us daily updates with pictures of our dog which I appreciated so much. She left our house in immaculate condition and Beau seemed very happy with her. I would 100% book again with Melayna!”
“Jennifer took great care of my senior dog and cat while I went out of town! I really appreciated the frequent updates and photos. I returned to my girls happy and healthy, I can tell they got lots of love. Highly recommend and will rebook in the future! Thank you so much Jennifer!!”
“Kayla did a great job sitting for our pets while we were out of town! She kept us updated and sent us photos of the pets! She was truly awesome and would definitely hire her again!”
“I had to go out of town at the last minute. A friend suggested Rover. Ander was available for a last minute stay. We met to see how Ander and Willy would be. I was very surprised at how comfortable Willy was. I am grateful for the care and attention he gave to Willy. I will happily be a repeat customer. I also appreciate that he only has one “family” of pets at a time. Thank you Ander for going out of your way to help us.”
About: I’ve been caring for and pet sitting animals for as long as I can remember! I absolutely love and adore animals and honestly prefer them to people 😉. I am a full time teacher but have plenty of time in the mornings and evenings to provide lots of love to your fur babies. My working hours are from 7am- 3pm on the weekdays. I have experience working in animal shelters as well as fostering dogs. I am a dog mama of 2 adopted Shar-Peis and am a cat mom as well. Unfortunately, my kiddos have lots of health issues therefore I have lots of experience administering oral medications, ear creams, eye creams…you name it! I also have experience taking care of senior and young pups. Though challenging, they deserve all the patience and love in the world. I am looking forward to getting to know you and provide excellent care for your baby! I’m a 5th grade teacher full time and I am at work from 7:40 - 2:40 with availability to care for your pets before and after school! I am generally free on the weekends to provide drop ins, walks, and stay overnight if needed. I have a large backyard with an 8ft tall brick privacy fence that would be nearly impossible for your fur baby to escape. I will also keep tabs on them at all times to ensure their safety. When in others’ homes, I keep an eye on pets and spend time with them like they’re my own.

Lauren is amazing!!! She kept in touch with me the entire time she was with my dogs. My dogs were happy when we got home and I can tell when they have been taken care of. They clearly really like Lauren ! My house was super clean and she even stripped the bed she slept in. We already booked her for our upcoming trip.
Lucille was wonderful! She was very punctual, professional, and reliable throughout the entire week. Bear was well taken care of and seemed happy and comfortable while I was away. It gave me great peace of mind knowing he was in good hands and that his needs were being looked after. I would absolutely recommend Lucille and would be happy to book with her again in the future. Thanks again for taking such great care of Bear! 🐾
Victoria took us last minute as we had a death in the family and she worked out perfect. Our four dogs were comfortable and fully at home with her in our absence. We loved getting a daily photo of our babies. Will definitely recommend her and we will be using her again.
Mackenzie took wonderful care of my pets and my house. This was my first time having anyone other than family take care of my animals and she gave me great piece of mind knowing they were safe and fed. She is very quick answering messages and gave reassurance that everything was okay, and I was able to relax and enjoy my trip. My home and animals were in great shape when I got home and I will definitely be using Mackenzie again when I travel. Thank you, Mackenzie for going the extra mile to relieve my anxiety about leaving my boys with a "stranger". You're not a stranger anymore and I'm thrilled to have you as part of my little, furry family.

FAQs for House Sitting - Tortolita
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Tortolita on Rover is $58.85 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 992 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Tortolita. 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 Tortolita 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 Tortolita 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 Tortolita 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.

- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
