“Camille was a great help, and I will be booking her again! My senior dog, Frecks, was comfortable with her, and she kept him to his much-needed routines. Also, being the first time Rover user, Camille kept me at ease with texts and photos during my travels. Thank you much!!”
About: We would go on long walks in the neighborhood, to the park, and go to the beach about an hour and a half, and he/she will be by my side whenever we are outside enjoying a sunny or rainy day. Your pet will be love and will get tons of attention. I have been an animal lover since I was born. Always been around dogs and cats my entire life; and I will also give them lots of love and attention. I have always treat my dogs and cats as if they were my children. I'll be sure your pets will be loved and have a smile on their faces when you arrive home, either from a long day at work or a long or a mini vacation.
“Miki house sat for my dog Toby for a night while I was out of town. She did such a great job, was respectful of the space, and accommodating for Toby’s needs. She sent the cutest photos and videos and he was so happy during the stay. Miki was great - I’m worried she’ll be overbooked the next time I need her!”
About: Whether it’s for a fun walk, a playful drop in visit or even a longer overnight stay, I’m ready to help make sure your furry friends (and home) are well cared for. You can absolutely trust that I will treat your animals with the same care that I do my own. I’ve been pet sitting and farm/ranch sitting on and off for over 25 years, so I bring a lot of years of experience with me. I have a lifetime of experience as a pet owner – currently I have one sassy Pug, a loveable Golden Retriever, a very finnicky kitty and a horse. When it comes to pet care, I’m extremely responsible, attentive and reliable. I have experience administering medications, caring for senior pets and those with special needs and diets, I’ve fostered puppies and kittens, given vaccinations, handled animals with behavioral challenges and I’ve even managed businesses related to animal care. I’m self-employed with an established local business. I have a flexible schedule, making me available for everything from drop-in’s to walks, and even overnight house/pet sitting. I look forward to meeting you AND your furry (or scaly, feathered, etc.) family members! I am self employed, so I have a flexible schedule. I'm typically able to accommodate pretty much any schedule that a pet parent needs - including drop in visits, walking and even overnight house/pet sitting. I'm also comfortable with puppies and senior dogs/cats, as well as administering medications and special diets. I'm a very detail oriented person, so whatever routine that you have I can easily adopt when I'm caring for your pets. I'm comfortable handling dogs with ALL different personalities with care and compassion. I'm a very happy and upbeat person, but I also have a calming nature, so I get along with all animals that I come across.
“Annalise was absolutely awesome to sit our golden retriever while we went to tour Hearst Castle on our vacation. She was so sweet and I could tell that Sailor loved her. I would definitely use her again if we visit Pismo Beach again.”
“Paul took care of my dog and cat and went above an beyond. I never had to worry if someone was letting them out and feeding them. I got updates on what they were doing on a regular basis and they went on lots of walks.”
About: I’ve had dogs and cat for the last 7-8 years. They have been so good to us and we’ve enjoyed them more than I imagined. I have a business that I’ve owned for seven years and I’m able to make my own schedule. Also, my homeschooled kids are home and willing to help if I ever need it. I have done 20+ years of babysitting and childcare in my home and other peoples homes. Plus, I’ve had clients that I have worked for and have trusted me with their keys to their home for seven years.
“Josh was very responsive to emails and going over details about care for both my dog and home. He seemed to be very conscientious and responsible - two nice characteristics.”
“Erin took wonderful care of our girl Tinky! We came home to a happy and secure girl. Erin is a good communicator, conscientious, and dependable. It is evident that she loves animals. I was able to relax knowing that our crew was safe and taken care of.”
“Carly was fantastic! She sent me super cute photos while I was gone and definitely went above and beyond. Carly is someone I can trust with my pets and not have to worry while I’m out of town!”
About: I’ve helped out with both cats and dogs. I’ve been a dog/cat owner, sitter, and walker throughout my life. I love animals and will welcome them with open arms! I have a hybrid schedule so I’m remote Thursday-Sunday! I usually am only out of the house for an hour or two, and would enjoy bringing them along if they’re comfortable! I have a fully fenced yard, no grass, so there will be frequent walks! I enjoy having animals close by so will allow them in my room and on furniture near me!
About: I have 10 years of experience pet sitting for family and friends and I truly enjoy creating a safe, fun & nurturing environment. Your furry kids will be treated like part of the family, with consistent routines, lots of attention, just like my own pets. Caring for animals naturally fits into my lifestyle, and I bring that same sense of responsibility and joy to every pet I look after. I have a very open schedule which can accommodate a variety of time slots. I also provide local and long distance and can travel globally. I always require an online Meet & Greet before every booking to ensure we are a great fit. I maintain secure environments by double-checking leashes, securing gates, and pet-proofing spaces to prevent accidents. When house sitting, I respect your property as if it were my own. I follow your precise care instructions, ensure doors and windows are securely locked. I provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in great hands. In the rare event of an emergency, I am familiar with local 24/7 veterinary clinics and am backed by the Rover Guarantee.
“Mindy was the best! I never had to worry about anything and she was great about sending check ins and photos the entire trip. She left our house completely spotless and even washed the sheets. I would absolutely use Mindy again!! 10/10!!”
About: I love hanging out with dogs while their parents parents are away! I am a big hiker, so on the weekends I love taking the dogs out for a hike/long walks and even the beach if allowed! I currently work 8-5 with occasional early entry at 6am. Weekends I am free, and evenings I am free. I am typically active early in the morning, able to feed and walk in the mornings and afternoons. I typically like to pet sit at the owners home to make the time away from the pets parents as seamless as possible! I am incredible respectful of other peoples homes and incredibly clean and tidy.
About: Dogs have been a part of my family since I was born, and I’ve personally trained two of them myself. I’m currently an Animal Science student at Cal Poly SLO, where I’m constantly learning about and working with a wide variety of animals. I’m also a student employee and volunteer at some of Cal Poly’s animal units, where I work with bull calves and horses. These experiences have helped me feel confident and comfortable providing safe, attentive, and loving care for all kinds of companions. I truly love animals of all sizes and ages, and I’ve never met a dog I didn’t like or get along with. I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your pet, and I will do my absolute best to make sure they feel loved, safe, and comfortable while in my care! As a Cal Poly student, my schedule varies at different points in the year, but I do my best to keep my calendar updated. I'm happy to work with you to find times that fit into your pet's routine! I will care for your pets no matter the environment! I can adjust to whatever your pets needs may be and will be diligent to ensure your animal has the best care possible.

FAQs for House Sitting - Verde
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Verde 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 566 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Verde. 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 Verde 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 Verde 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 Verde 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.
