“We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Alexandrea. From the moment we met at the meet-and-greet to the moment we left for our trip, I felt completely at ease knowing our dog, Pipoca, was in her care. She was flexible, working with our flight schedule, and, most importantly, arrived right on time. She treated our home with so much respect, as if it were her own, and her communication throughout the stay was exceptional! She sent frequent updates and always checked with us before making any decisions outside of what we previously agreed on, along with so many adorable photos and videos throughout the day! She even took Pipoca along with her while running errands aka little adventures for our little one, kept her engaged, and it was clear from every update how happy and comfortable Pipoca was with Alexandrea. When we came home, the house was clean and Pipoca was relaxed and happy. I would not hesitate to book Alexandrea again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, communicative, reliable, and genuinely caring sitter.”
“Súper professional and accommodating. Needed a sitter last minute for Mother’s Day and Josh went above and beyond. Very good about communicating updates. Handled giving my dog Vida her pill. & just all around a kind and caring guy! Definitely will book with him again.”
“Jehiny was wonderful! She took care of my English bulldog while I was away for the weekend and sent lots of pictures and updates. The house was so clean it looked untouched when I got back! Will definitely have Jehiny back again!”
“Jenny was absolutely amazing. She is very responsive, quick and reliable and she took amazing care of our home and, most importantly, little Lily. Lily can be very shy with humans but she loves Jenny and we would book her again anytime. Thank you so much!”
“Brenna stepped in for me in an urgency and was the utmost friendly, communicative and wonderful caretaker for my two pups - one big and one small. I would hire Brenna again (and plan to!) in a heartbeat. She is the best and a fantastic doggie caretaker.”
“We had Don watch our 3 year old dog for 3 nights and 4 days. He was absolutely the perfect sitter. He arrived at 5:30AM so we could have our dog be with him while we headed to the airport to relieve any anxiety and stayed until 7:00PM so we could get back not too late with our dog being alone. Don was very kind, sweet, and attentive towards our dog. He asked for a detailed item list for his stay, he sent us a ton of photos and videos without us having to always ask, and reached out to help clean up sheets, vacuum, take the trash out before his stay ended. You can tell he has a passion for dogs and truly enjoys spending time with them. I would highly recommend Don if you are looking to enjoy your vacation or time away and want to feel like you can trust someone to make your dog happy. We look forward to hiring him again next time we are out of town. He will be our first choice in sitters moving forward.”
“Daylin was polite and thorough with her questions about our elderly dogs when we first met. She did a great job taking care of them and making sure they received their medications. She also regularly sent great pictures to keep us assured that our dogs were doing well. She also left our house clean. We would hire her again. Thank you, Daylin!”

About: Greetings! My name is Brian. I’m from Los Angeles, CA. I believe what sets me aside from other sitters and walkers. Is the engaging experience to learn each and unique different breed of dogs.

At the end of it all I hope getting into the Rover team give the life opportunity to help establish a career in caring for all shape and sizes creatures in the world. Couldn’t have found a more better way to create and engage with our furry friends to let others know that we can help one another in anyways possible. Thanks!
“Maddie was amazing! Aside from this being SUPER last minute. It was my first time doing the house sitting option and, I appreciated Maddie’s quick flexibility and response. My furbabies aren’t the easiest especially when meeting for the first time, but Maddie made sure they were comfortable on their own terms. Updates definitely helped calm my mama nerves for sure! Thanks so much Maddie!”
“Cory watched my boys at my home for over a week. She was so good to them and kept me updated all week. She also took very good care of my home. I highly recommend her for any and all services!”
About: Featured in Parade Magazine, over 40 years petcare experience from caring for bottle babies to special needs and senior companions. I understand feline and canine behavior, health needs and the importance of patience, consistency, discretion and client privacy - particularly when caring for high-profile households. I genuinely love cats and dogs, and am reliable. I've worked with premium pet nutrition brands including Nulo and Primal - giving me a strong foundation in pet dietary health, raw feeding, and species appropriate nutrition. Experience administering meds (oral, topical, sub q fluid, insulin shots). I do not over book. I also volunteer to help cats/kittens/dogs/puppies find new homes. I have excellent references, provide a free meet & greet to make sure you feel comfortable with me, and love your pet as if they were my own. Speaking of my own - I have Feral Fawcett, Jake Kittenhaal, Ninja & Yolandi, and Medusa & Cleocatra. I can't wait to meet you and your fur children. 😻 I am a writer so I bring my laptop along and stay in your home. I may have an occasional Dr appointment or pet sitting visit, but again, I dont over book and will be available for your pets most of the day. I care for pets in the client's home. I provide at LEAST once daily updates, and am happy to provide as many as you would like. I meet with you before to go over details and always appreciate a printed reference sheet or folder.
“Karah is amazing, I highly recommend them! My dog was recently diagnosed with a spine issue and this is the first time I've left him with a sitter while he was having a flare up. Karah made me feel so comfortable, took excellent care of him, and was super communicative. Karah has such a calming, confident energy and it made my dog immediately at ease :)”
“Samantha was AMAZING! I’ll say I was very nervous to try Rover because I was worried about having someone I don’t know in my home, but Samantha made me feel so comfortable. She came over a day before starting to meet my cat and asked a bunch of questions to ensure I didn’t forget anything. Every day and night she came to feed Rumble she sent the cutest pictures and videos. My cat loves her and I’m so happy to have found someone who I trust in my home!”
About: Ive had my own cat for 4 years and ive loved every second of it! Ive also taken care of others cats and i love being able to tend to their needs especially knowing how different each cat is! My schedule is currently very flexible, so I have plenty of time to dedicate to pet care! I’m home most days and can be available throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, playtime, feeding, and giving your pets the attention they need! I’m very attentive when it comes to animals and always want them to feel safe and comfortable around me. I have an indoor cat of my own, so I’m used to keeping up with feeding, cleaning, playtime, and paying attention to an animal’s behavior and needs. In a client’s home, I’ll follow their instructions closely and respect both their pet’s routine and their space.
“Super great with communication and flexibility. She was great with both my pups and left my house spotless. I will be booking again and I would highly recommend her”
“Hannah was so great with watching my 11-week-old puppy! Unlike other Rover sitters, Hannah actually interacted with my puppy during playtime, didn’t keep him locked in the play pen all day, she was very good about cleaning up after him, and kept my home clean as well. The state of my home was a concern after other Rover sitters, but I would absolutely rebook Hannah again, for the sake of my home AND my puppy. I could tell he was happy and had a good day with Hannah. Thank you so much!!!”
About: New York transplant who just moved to the greater L.A. area. I, along with the rest of my roommates, am a young professional and have always had an immense love of dogs. I live in a new, dog-friendly building with my girlfriend and another dog-owing couple in which the majority of the other residents are other young professionals who own dogs as well. There is ample space spread out between the building courtyard and the surrounding block to take the animals out to walk and play. We have a dedicated cabinet in the kitchen for dog treats and items. I primarily work on the computer from home, so Rover is the perfect opportunity for me to work with some new friends in a wide-open open environment.
“Camryn was great! She was very communicative, checked in a few times a day and sent plenty of pictures. She left the house looking great and even vacuumed! We will definitely book her again!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Vernon is $63

Cory was the best cat sitter. She gave us amazing daily updates and took adorable photos for us. She left everything super clean, she understood all the directions for our cats care and made sure she didn’t get too lonely! Would absolutely use her again she’s the best
Jenny is very kind and always great with communication from start! She was prompt and arrived at our set time, Our two dogs, cooper and nokko, was in great care with Jenny! She sent us photo updates and made sure medication/food was fed, we came home to very happy pups and would love to have Jenny again with us in the future definately!!
My fiance and i always are apprehensive about leaving our senior dog alone. But Jehiny put our anxieties at ease from the jump. She was very attentive to our dog's needs and expressed genuine interest in details to make sure he was completely comfortable. It made me feel so at ease that he was in good hands. And when we came home our senior boy was so bright and bouncy and happy. Jehiny was very involved, very communicative, and very professional we really appreciated her housesitting for us. We'll def be reaching out in the future again.
Natalie was great with my two dogs! She was very communicative and would check in frequently with updates and pictures. My dogs warmed up to her quickly and seems like they had a great weekend with her! I’ll definitely be asking Natalie back to watch my dogs whenever I’m out of town, would recommend her to any dog parent looking for a sitter!
Megan is absolutely wonderful! My timid cat was instantly smitten with her. He usually hides. It's truly heartwarming to see them bond so quickly. She has such a special way with animals, creating a safe and loving environment. I highly recommend her services to any pet parent.

When we came home, the house was clean and Pipoca was relaxed and happy. I would not hesitate to book Alexandrea again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, communicative, reliable, and genuinely caring sitter.
Michelle was absolutely wonderful with my pup Bruno! As he’s gotten older staying at boarding facilities became anxiety inducing and he had a tendency to become behavioral. After six whole days with Michelle I came back to my happy and relaxed boy who clearly got lots of love and attention. Michelle provided updates and care for not only my pup but my home and a huge peace of mind for my time away. I cannot recommend Michelle enough, I’m beyond grateful and will be booking with her again in the future! Thank you so much Michelle!!
This is the first time I tried “Rover” I was a little concern about having strangers at my house but after we met prior to hire her, I felt so much better. Milan ( my furry baby) loved her, she was very sweet and kept me updated. I will definitely hire her again. Thanks, Deanna!
Jen was absolutely wonderful with Bogart. She is caring and compassionate and a lovely person! She cooked for him and was patient with Bogart's needs as an 18 year-old dog. She was sending me pictures and updates regularly and he was so peppy and happy after spending time with her. I know Bogart would love to spend time with her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Vernon on Rover is $34.71 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 14,812 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Vernon. 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 Vernon 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 Vernon 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 Vernon 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Vernon. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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.
