“Danielle was great with my pup Khaleesi! Danielle was careful and diligent as our pup had a strained ACL. Danielle took extra care to make sure she wasn’t jumping and playing and stayed the night with her to keep her comfy. I will be using Danielle going forward .”
About: Hi I’m Kalynn! I’m 22 years old and have always been a huge animal lover. I grew up with all sorts of animals including cats, dogs, reptiles, amphibians, and even rodents. So I’m no stranger to the clean up and giving them lots of love. I’ve also taken care of many friends and family’s animals since I was a teenager, along with overnight stays. Safety is always my #1 priority and I aim to create a stress free and fun environment for everyone. Feel free to message at any time, I’m a quick responder and always open to lending a helping hand! My schedule is very flexible and always open so I can be available to help and care for your pet when ever you may need. Your animals trust and comfort are very important to me. My goal is to adapt to their routine and schedule to keep them happy while under my care. I always provide fresh food and water, along with exercise and enrichment throughout the day.
“We were so happy that Donna could come and dog sit/house sit for our little Lina while we were out of town. Donna immediately formed a tight bond with our dog and provided the best care! We will definitely use her service again! She is such a warm and kind person, very professional and Lina loves her! Thank you Mike and Donna!”

About: Hi, My name is Lita, I’m new on rover but well experienced in the dog world. I currently own a very special boy Doberman pincher. His name is Griffin and he is 6 1/2 years old. I’ve had him since the age of one. He is a rescue that survived a gunshot went to a shelter then to a foster who couldn’t handle him and back to the shelter. Then to his final destination which was ME! Nowadays, Griffin is thriving, and is known to be the best behaved and well trained dog in the neighborhood, as well as the most loved at the vet. I’ve spent a tremendous amount of time and effort, making sure that Griffin will live up to his potential And become the best possible dog. I also take care of Eros, a European champion line, German Shepherd, who weighs as much as I do if not more. After nearly 5 years of taking care of him, he and his family are like my own. I’ve been around dogs and learned proper care and handling since childhood, as my family used to breed Airedale Terriers and French bulldogs. I live a bi- coastal life (part Southern California part south Florida) which means that if you see my availability open on here, my schedule would be wide open to take care of your dog/s, and I won’t be leaving for extended periods of time to work. I’m happy to take them with me anywhere like parks, hikes, the beach, car rides etc. And will be providing them with all the enrichment and exercise they want and or need :) looking forward to working with you! I have a fitness business in south Florida that I return to but When I’m in California, my schedule is nearly wide open and this dog sitting will take priority. I would be with them as much as needed and can take them with me places. I provide very knowledgeable handling, care, and attention. Dogs THRIVE on structure and I am the best at it. I’m extremely disciplined with my dog, and can follow any routine with yours too.

“Monica did great house sitting and keeping our senior husky entertained. She provided adorable photos and our dog loved her! I highly recommend her and we will absolutely use her the next time we travel.”

About: I love dogs and cats all ages and sizes. I treat them as my own and take care of all their needs. I see all pets as family members. I’ll be happy to take them for long walks and I live close to a dog park!! Each one pet deserves individual attention. I will play, clean and walk them because they deserve the best. Please ask questions and let me know if your friend has special likes and needs. I am more than happy to provide extra services as long as time permits. I really appreciate advance notice from you. I have two cats at home. Your pets are welcome to stay at my place if you feel they will be comfortable. I look forward meeting your best pal! 😃Thank you. I am available full time for dog walking/dog and cat boarding. Flexible schedule for your needs. I love exercise so I want the same for your sweet dogs. I have a fenced yard to keep pets safe. They can play while I watch them. I love to play catch and keep them active.
“Emily is wonderful!! She took care of our dog & cat while we were away for an extended weekend. She went above and beyond to make our emotional pets feel comfortable and happy! She sent tons of pics and communicated regularly. Will definitely have her back again!”


“Susan was a wonderful dog sitter for us! We loved how she sent us pictures and updates everyday while we were away. She treated our little guy so well while we were gone, and it allowed us to enjoy our vacation to the fullest. I would highly recommend Susan as a sitter! We are so thankful that we found her, and will definitely be using her again in the future.”

“Shayna was so great with my dog. He has really bad separation anxiety and Shayna stayed all day with him and he loved her. He was able to relax and feel comfortable with her which put our minds at ease while we were gone. So glad we found someone to help us when we need to leave.”

About: Hi! I’m Jing — CPA and also a caring and reliable pet sitter with hands-on experience raising both a dog and a cat. I’ve had my dachshund for over three years, and I also cared for my cat for two years, so I’m very familiar with the different needs, personalities, and routines of both species. With dogs, I’m patient and attentive, especially with small breeds like dachshunds that need extra back support and gentle handling. I’m comfortable with walks, enrichment, feeding routines, and keeping a close eye on behavior. With cats, I understand how to read their body language, keep their environment calm, and follow their preferred pace — whether they want cuddles or space. I’m experienced with litter box care, feeding schedules, and helping shy cats feel safe. Your pet’s comfort and happiness are my priority. I treat every animal like my own and make sure they feel loved, secure, and well cared for while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet your furry family member! I’m fully working remotely with flexible schedules. So I will give your pet enough attention and play time. Can’t wait to make some quality memories for your baby! I live in apartment with dog park nearby. Easy to go out for walk and have sunbath on the balcony as well. I am experienced with meal prep and necessary medical needs. Please just let me know!
About: I love the outdoors/nature and using up all my energy I have for the day which help my pet at home stay happy and satisfied in everything aspect of life. Same can go for yours… I have a full time job, I do start later than usual so I’m available early in the morning or even in the early hours of the afternoon. I also have free availability all day and night Sat & Sun. Just don’t hesitate to communicate and we can come up with a plan that can work best for you. I am very cautious of my pets surroundings, if I were to leave for the day, I make sure nothing is in reach for a destruction or a mess. I do shut all doors and gates leading to upstairs. I check the floor to see if there is anything that should not be left unattended or food as well. Lastly I just make sure there is enough toys or object to keep him occupied
“5 stars not enough for Alayna.. she is more than I could have asked for in a sitter for my 3 dogs. She is highly detail oriented— she makes sure she understands all of your notes (I have A LOT), she gives detailed updates on what they did during the day and of course multiple photos everyday. 2 of my 3 dogs are seniors so they have a lot of specific requirements and she handled them perfectly. My younger dog has leash aggression issues and she walked him everyday with no issues. She is so caring and loving towards my dogs.. from the moment she walked in my door, she was scratching and giving them love. She was also extremely respectful of my house and left it perfectly clean and tidy. I’m truly so grateful I found her. If you’re looking for an incredibly responsible, caring and sweet dog sitter, you’ve found her. Thank you Alayna for making my trip so much less stressful! Can’t wait to rebook with you again!”

About: Your pet will be treated like family. ❤️ I’ve cared for dogs and cats for more than 20 years, including puppies, seniors, multiple pets, and dogs with different energy levels and personalities. I currently have a Pomeranian and have previously cared for multiple dogs and cats. I work from home, so I’m able to provide dependable and attentive care. I especially enjoy long walks, jogging, and helping dogs get the exercise they need. If your dog is high-energy or needs more than a standard walk, jogging and extended exercise are available for an additional charge. I also enjoy reinforcing basic training and good manners during walks. I have a large fenced backyard and experience volunteering at animal shelters. I’m loving, punctual, careful, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. My goal is to give your dog a safe, enjoyable experience while giving you peace of mind that they’re being well cared for. Need a regular walking partner for your high-energy dog? I’d love to help keep them happy, active, and exercised! 🐶 I work from home, which gives me flexibility to provide consistent and reliable care. I’m especially interested in recurring dog walks and can work with your dog’s regular routine. I offer standard walks as well as longer walks, jogging, and extra exercise for an additional charge for dogs who need to burn more energy. Your pet’s safety is my top priority. I’m careful about following your instructions, your dog’s routine, and any special needs or preferences. I’m punctual, responsible, and attentive during walks. I’ll make sure your dog is safely handled and supervised throughout the visit.
“Jasmine is a great dog sitter! She watched our dogs for 8 days and did an awesome job. Communication was easy and consistent, and we really appreciated the regular updates and pictures. She made sure our dogs got daily walks and plenty of care and attention. We felt totally comfortable knowing our dogs were in good hands and would definitely book Jasmine again. Thanks Jasmine!”

About: I am the biggest animal lover at heart. I truly believe that pets are family, and they deserve the same love, patience, and attention as any human. I've always had a deep connection with animals of all kinds, and spending time with them brings me so much joy. I have professional experience working at a dog daycare, where I was responsible for supervising playgroups, feeding, administering medications when needed, cleaning, and making sure every dog was happy, safe, and well cared for. I've worked with dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and energy levels, from playful puppies to sweet senior dogs. I'm comfortable with high-energy dogs, shy dogs, and everything in between. Safety, trust, and keeping pets happy are always my top priorities. My journey on Rover is trying to work for myself and my furry friends because I love the freedom of constructing my own hours and creating a schedule that works for both me and the pets I care for. To me, taking care of animals is not a job - it is a privilege. I don't take that lightly. Every pet in my care will be treated like my own, with endless love, attention, and respect. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, overnight care, or just someone to keep them company while you're away, I will be there to make sure they feel safe, loved, and happy. My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I love being able to create my own hours and work around each pet’s individual routine and needs. I’m available for overnight stays, boarding, walks, drop-ins, and extended daytime care. I’m happy to communicate with you beforehand to make sure your pet’s normal schedule is followed as closely as possible while you’re away. Safety, trust & environment Your pet’s happiness, safety, and comfort are my absolute top priorities! 🐾 I provide care exclusively in the client’s home, which means your pet gets to stay in the place they know and love while keeping their normal routine. I’ll make sure they get plenty of love, attention, playtime, walks, and cuddles while you’re away. I’m also very respectful of your home and will treat it with the same care I give your pets. I’ll follow all of your instructions closely and send you plenty of updates and cute pictures, so you can relax knowing your fur baby is happy, loved, and in great hands! ❤️🐶

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was little! At one point my family had 4 dogs, a bird, a tortoise, and a frog. Now we’re down to two dogs and two cats in the family and I hold them near and dear. I will love your animal like my own:) I’m currently working part time on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from the early morning to early afternoon and Monday - Friday 3:30pm-6:30pm. I can provide bathrooms breaks and walks for your pets and I’m open to house sitting as well! I cannot take any pets into my own home but I will care for your pets in yours with any extra love and attention they may need.
“Tasha was a dream! We will absolutely be rebooking with her should we need another sitter! She stayed in our home for five days with our dog and our house was just as clean as it was when we left - so, she’s a great house guest too! Don’t hesitate about booking - your furry friend will be in good, trustworthy hands!”

“Yasmine was an excellent dog sitter. She met me a couple of days before we went out of town to meet our two dogs. She bonded with them right away and that made me feel very comfortable. She kept us informed a few times a day with pictures and texts of the dogs. Also, she left our house in immaculate condition which is what we appreciated!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Trabuco Canyon
Amanda was absolutely wonderful with my two Goldendoodles. She was so sweet, attentive, and communicative throughout my entire trip, sending me tons of pictures and updates that gave me so much peace of mind. She even happened to be watching the boys on their birthday and went out of her way to make it special by treating them to pup cups and sending me the sweetest video of her singing happy birthday to them! She was also incredibly accommodating and stayed late on the last night until I got home from my flight. I highly recommend Amanda to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter.

Nikki was wonderful during her stay with Bob and Sprout. Both boys were shy at first but warmed up the next day. She took them on their scheduled walks, fed them their meals on time and stayed with them in the evening. We came home to happy pups. Thanks for taking such good care of our babies, Nikki!

Michael was fantastic! He took wonderful care of Stanley and Millie and did a great job communicating with us every day, including sending photos that we really appreciated. One of our dogs is ill, needs daily medication, and is very attached to me, and Michael handled this beautifully — she did great and was clearly comfortable and well cared for. We came home to a very tidy house, but most importantly, our dogs were happy, relaxed, and clearly in excellent hands. We felt completely at ease while we were away. We were so pleased that we’ve already booked Michael again for another trip. Highly recommend!

FAQs for House Sitting - Trabuco Canyon
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Trabuco Canyon is $56 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $39 and $79 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.

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 Trabuco Canyon 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 Trabuco Canyon 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 Trabuco Canyon 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.

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.
