“Chandi was wonderful. The communication was of upmost importance for me. Chandi was very responsive to my messages and kept me updated on how my fur babies were doing. I am very happy that I found her and I look forward to having her sit with my babies in the future. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
About: Having had pets my entire life, I have learned many aspects to animal caregiving and I guarantee to be a clear and communicative caregiver to your pets! I am very physically active, and enjoy walking dogs, playing, and spending time outside in all types of weather! If your pet needs a more mellow approach, I am also happy to provide calm and relaxing check-ins for shy or senior pets. I have had cats my entire life, and currently am taking care of my landlord's cats long term... so I am not afraid of different cat personalities and will gladly discuss your pet's individual needs for each visit. I guarantee to provide safe, loving, and attentive care to your pets and discuss all needs to provide peace of mind while you are away! I work part-time, with a lot of flexibility. Though my schedule varies, I am glad to work odd hours and I promise to discuss any needs or specific things you may need during my visit time. I also guarantee committed and reliable times when scheduling is decided upon. Safety is my main priority when taking care of your pets, to provide you peace of mind and make sure that your pets are well taken care of. I am happy to crate your dog if needed, do house checks for any safety concerns, and send updates regarding their food/water/exercise and wellbeing so you can rest assured they are taken care of!
About: For as long as I can remember, animals have been a part of my life. Dogs, cats, birds, bunnies, sheep, horses, you name it, I’ve taken care of them. I’ve raised and trained puppies, cared for elderly pets and everything in between. Large or small, I love them all I am retired so my time is very flexible. From a short drop-in to check on your pet to a long- term house sitting assignment, my schedule is open. When caring for your pet in your home, you can count on me to respect your privacy and to diligently follow your instructions. Your pets needs are my top priority
“Tyler was awesome sitter. Very professional, listened to our concerns/requests and made sure everything we requested has been followed. Very responsive to all of our questions while we were away. My dog Loki had wonderful time with Tyler. I would highly recommend Tyler to anyone who needs a reliable sitter.”
About: I am a long time animal lover and have been working in pet care for over 25 years professionally. I have ample experience with dog walking and overnight pet sitting. I ran my own dog walking business as a sole proprietor for many years, and also have worked as an independent contractor for other dog walking & pet sitting companies. In the past, I've cared for many different animals of varying ages and breeds; from puppies and kittens to seniors. I have plenty of experience administering medication for animals who need it, whether it be ear/eye drops, pills, and insulin injections. I also have experience caring for small and furry (rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs) as well as scaly (fish, snakes, turtles). I'm responsible, caring, and punctual, and I genuinely care about providing great service to you and your pet. I am looking forward to meeting your furry (or scaly) friend! My schedule is fairly flexible and I will accept bookings Mon-Sun from 8am to 5pm. I prefer to do an free consultation with your dog before you book your first walk. I do appreciate advance bookings, but will do my best to fit you in! Your pet is a member of your family, so it is important to me that your pal feels loved and cared for while you are away. I travel to you and I am not currently available for boarding in my home.
“Stari was amazing with our dogs. We have one difficult dog and Stari was great with her. She stayed and watched our house, took the dogs out on walks around the neighborhood and to the beach, and most importantly took really good care of our dogs. She sent photos and they were always content and happy! I would highly recommend her to watch your pets! Thanks Stari”
About: Calm, professional pet care rooted in trust, structure, and reliability. I’m the owner of Humboldt Helper, a local LLC providing dependable support for homes and pets throughout Humboldt County. I offer thoughtful walks and sitting that go beyond a standard visit. Because I don’t have pets of my own, your pet receives my full focus in a predictable, low-stress environment. Expect attentive care, clear communication, and a relaxed, happy pup. With Humboldt Helper LLC as my primary focus, I’m able to offer a flexible schedule and prioritize pet sitting clients. Care is designed to support consistency while adapting to your needs, fitting naturally into your daily or weekly rhythm. Walks and visits can be scheduled on a regular basis or arranged as needed, depending on what works best for you and your dog. Care is provided with a calm, thoughtful approach, taking time to understand each dog’s routines, preferences, and signals. The goal is for visits to feel familiar, low-stress, and supportive, blending seamlessly into your routine while helping dogs feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for.
“Alex was a great sitter. Very smooth communication and she went above and beyond. Enzo was very happy and relaxed when I got home, house was clean and tidy. I will definitely book again!”
“Halley took tremendous care of my little high energy guy for 4 days while I traveled for work. I’m forever grateful for the kindness, grace, and thoughtfulness she gave. I would supremely recommend her and wouldn’t hesitate to request her again!”
“Sadie really went above and beyond! Our dog unfortunately lost the ability to walk while we were out of town. Sadie was so kind to him and helped him move around and get outside. She really cared for him and made him comfortable. Thank you again Sadie. We are so grateful.”
“Bailey watched our border collie/heeler mix Huck for 10 days and we were very happy with our experience with her. She provided updates on their activities, followed our written instructions, and we came home to a healthy and happy pup and a clean house! We definitely recommend Bailey as a sitter.”
“Bailey was great and available on short notice due to a family emergency. Pets loved her and she even offered to grab some carpet cleaner when one of my cats puked. Will use her again for future needs.”
“Vanessa was great! Our dog loved her and she took very good care of him. She sent pictures everyday, and they seemed to have a great time together. We will definitely use her again in the future.”
“Anna was FANTASTIC! This was our first time using Rover and we were late to the game coming up to the holidays. Anna stepped up, took great care of our pets and house. Our dog and cats were completely happy and hardly even acknowledged us when we got home because they were so well cared for. I could not recommend her enough!!”
About: Dogs are more than pets, they are part of the family. I have always loved animals, and I will love yours just the same. Life can get busy! It's important to make sure your fur baby feels loved even when their owners are away. I am responsible and active. I would love to take your pup along with me as I run and hike around the beautiful PNW terrain! I want to make sure that I create a personal connection with your dog and with you to ensure that I offer the best care for your dog! I have grown up around dogs, and I understand that each one has their own quirks and personalities. In addition, I love all animals and am eager to look after cats, rabbits, chickens... you name it! Thanks! I look forward to taking care of your pup!
About: I started pet-sitting in my adolescence and have continued pet-sitting for friends, family, neighbors, and roommates for over twenty years. I've cared for dogs of all sizes, cats, birds, lizards, snakes, fish, rabbits, and rodents. I've administered medication, cared for newborn animals, and have even had to safely evacuate two dogs and two kittens from a home this past summer where I was pet-sitting due to wildfire. I've always adored animals and have gotten my bachelors degree in zoology and masters in wildlife conservation ecology. I'd love the opportunity to care for your beloved animals! My schedule is currently flexible and I will update my availability as my calendar fills. Feel free to reach out to check if your scheduling needs align! Dog walking and enrichment: I'm happy to take your dog out on walks (or jogs), let your dog out in your yard, or provide food and water on visits as needed. House/pet-sitting: I have a friendly five-year-old dog that is good with other dogs and cats! I'm happy to do overnight stays if your dog(s) or cat(s) are okay with her accompanying me. If this is not an option, please still reach out and may be able to accommodate depending on the dates and length of stay. That said, my dog is playful and respects when other dogs are not in play-mode. She's happy to be around dogs of all ages.
About: I had a small dog for over 10 years who was a beloved member of our family. She passed this previous winter and I wasn't able to be there because I was away at university. I want to make sure other pet parents feel secure that someone is there who genuinely cares for their pet. I also have two cats and a blue-tongued skink at my other house in southern California, and I've also had a scorpion and vinegaroon. I have a snake here with me in Arcata and I've cared for snakes since I was a young child. I've also petsat a bearded dragon. Cats and dogs are both fond of me, but I'm capable of caring for unique types of pets, as well! I'll be in Arcata the entire summer except for a week in early June, so if your usual university student sitter isn't around, I will be! I don't currently have a full-time job over the summer nor over the school year, so I'll be free to spend as much time with your pet as you desire or need. I don't have a yard, but if you need your pet to get some fresh air, I'm willing to take them wherever! I have a car that can fit your best friend if they like the beach, or the woods, or another fun spot that'll help them get exercise and stimulation while you're away.
About: Much of my animal experience comes from not only owning but also veterinary experience, grooming, daycare and volunteer work! Loving animals is dream job 🫶🏽 Currently, I have a flexible schedule for you and your fur babies convince! (: Prefer afternoons/night activities on most days but can work with you to do mornings! I am familiar with dog/cat behavioral traits and characteristics through years of experience in order to more comfortably and safely interact with your paw-pals 🐾
About: I’ve grown up with animals! Specifically kitties and dogs but I love them all. I have had experience with some farm animals as well. I would love to meet more animals and build more connections! I have plenty of references. I currently am looking for a full time job so my schedule is open for the most part. I am available for overnight stays as well in your house. I take care of your animals by giving them the attention they need and the snuggles they want. I love bonding with animals and getting to cuddle with different creatures!
About: I am a former dog trainer at Dog Gone Amazing training and boarding in Reno Nv for the past 4 and half years. I moved to Eureka to have a new start and would love to continue to work with animals. I’ve worked with many different breeds and many different temperaments. I currently have two dogs of my own and a cat as well. I’ve grown up with all sorts of animals, such a horses, chickens, sled dogs and cats. I would love to continue working with new pets and their owners! I currently have 2 dogs and a cat. I’ve also worked as a kennel tech at a boarding/training facility and then moved on to become a trainer at that same facility. I always recommend crates for any situation but in my own home I would crate all dogs and rotate based on how they all get along. Feeding in the crate or separate from other animals. Daily walks or hikes depending on the animal. Cats would get daily enrichment. If weather doesn’t permit or the animal isn’t able to get that day I’d offer mental enrichment such as lick mats, food puzzles, play, training, etc.

FAQs for House Sitting - Westhaven-Moonstone
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of June 2026, there are 159 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Westhaven-Moonstone. 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 Westhaven-Moonstone 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 Westhaven-Moonstone 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 Westhaven-Moonstone 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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
