About: I’m a dedicated 21 year old dog lover who currently cares for two rescued female puppies. They are friendly and fixed :) Raising young shelter dogs has given me hands-on experience with puppy routines, socialization, basic training, exercise, and lots of patience. I understand the importance of consistency, positive reinforcement, and creating a safe, comfortable environment for pets. Growing up, I also owned a Chihuahua and spent time dog walking for others ever since I was a kid, which helped me learn how to work with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I’m comfortable with active puppies, shy dogs, and dogs that need extra attention and reassurance. What sets me apart is that I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether your dog needs playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply a caring companion while you're away, I’m committed to making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I currently work part-time as a delivery driver, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to stay close to home throughout the day. Because of that, I’m able to provide frequent potty breaks, exercise, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention. I care for my own two young dogs every day, so pet care is already a major part of my routine. When I'm not working, I spend time walking, training, playing with, and caring for them. My flexible schedule allows me to adjust my day around the needs of the pets in my care and make sure they receive the attention, supervision, and affection they deserve. Safety is my top priority when caring for pets. In my home, dogs have access to a large, securely fenced yard where they can play, exercise, and explore safely under supervision. I also have a large crate available for dogs who are crate-trained or need a quiet place to relax. If a dog needs their own space, I can separate them using a dog gate and provide a comfortable area in my home where they can rest safely. I always monitor interactions between pets and make sure each dog is comfortable and stress-free. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow their routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise, medications, and any special instructions. I believe consistency helps pets feel secure and comfortable while their owners are away. My goal is to provide a safe, calm, and caring environment where every pet feels at home.
About: I grew up living with different types of pets and have a degree in animal science. I have also fostered and volunteered at animal shelters I'm currently unemployed, so I'll have plenty of time to play and care for your pups. I'm available any time on weekdays and some weekends I have a fenced yard, space and friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. If needed I have crates for your pups to use
About: I have more than 10 years of experience caring for dogs and cats, including senior pets, special-needs animals, and medically complex pets. Most recently, I worked at a no-kill animal shelter in Southern California, where I worked with animals of different ages, personalities, and energy levels. I gained experience with recently surrendered pets, shy animals, senior pets, and animals adjusting to new environments. I also cared for my own diabetic dog, Tater, for three years, including twice-daily insulin injections and careful monitoring of his health and routine. That experience taught me how important consistency, observation, and patience are when caring for animals. I am comfortable administering medications, following detailed care instructions, and maintaining established routines. I work especially well with senior pets, anxious animals, and pets that need a calm, patient approach. As both a longtime pet owner and homeowner, I understand the trust people place in someone caring for their animals and home. My goal is simple: to keep your pets safe, comfortable, and happy while you're away. I work remotely as a technical writer, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to spend significant time at home with the pets in my care. This flexibility makes it easy for me to maintain feeding schedules, provide walks, administer medications if needed, and give pets the companionship and attention they are accustomed to receiving. I enjoy having animals around while I work and appreciate the comfort that a consistent, calm routine provides for them. I care for pets in their own homes whenever possible because familiar surroundings, routines, and schedules help reduce stress while their owners are away. Before each booking, I take time to learn about your pet's normal routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs, medications, favorite activities, and any behavioral or medical concerns. I follow care instructions carefully and provide regular updates so owners know their pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I pay close attention to changes in behavior, appetite, energy level, or overall well-being and will communicate any concerns promptly. My goal is to maintain your pet's normal routine as closely as possible while providing a calm, safe, and dependable presence in your home.

About: I always been around animals since I was little, either it been my friends, neighbors, or strays. But every animal would get love and care from me. I only owned a pet for a day due to family issues but always wished I could have pets of my own. I am currently available part time, for me and brother share a car for work. I am also restarting school so I am able to work with the owners on a scedule. When ever I go to my friends house, I always make sure I follow the rules my friends have for the pets. I show them love and care and spend time with them while I am at the friends house.
“Kat is amazing. She truly cares for the animals she watches. We have a 2yo golden retriever (very energetic and pushes boundaries). Kat worked so well with her! She trained Ellie while also showing her lots of love and affection. We are so grateful to have found someone we can trust with our girl. Thank you, Kat!”

“Kharlee is fantastic! Kharlee dogsat for my 3 while I was gone on a trip and stayed with them at my home. This was my first time using a dog sitter and It was exactly what I was looking for - and I just came home to 3 very happy and safe puppers. Kharlee was awesome with communication and sending pictures and updates. She also made a point to do multiple meet and greets with my pups to make sure they would be comfortable with her. I will 100% be using Kharlee again and am stoked to have found someone my dogs are so happy with! :)”


About: Welcome to my profile! Growing up in a lively household filled with both dogs and a variety of other animals, I developed a profound love and understanding of animal behavior from a young age. With over five years of professional dog-sitting experience, I've cared for breeds of all sizes and temperaments, ensuring each pup receives the attention and affection they deserve. My unique upbringing has equipped me with the skills to manage not just dogs, but also other pets, making me a versatile caregiver who can provide a safe and nurturing environment for your furry family member. Whether it's long walks, playtime, or simply cuddling up on the couch, I am dedicated to making your dog's experience enjoyable and enriching. Your pet's well-being is my top priority, and I can't wait to meet them! I'm currently working from home, and occasionally watching other dogs, but my availability is COMPLETELY OPEN, and am happy to help out whenever needed! This includes daytime, nighttime, weekends, holidays, multiple-days, you name it! I have a pretty decent sized apartment, that's CLEANED & SANITIZED DAILY, has AC/HEAT, non-smoking, and always has some toys, blankets, and sanitized food/water bowls ready, just in case the owner doesn't bring them. I also take the pets outside quite frequently, as much as possible honeslty! Also, not just to potty, but to explore the neighborhood, RUN for extended periods of time, and to constantly practice/improve use of commands, and healthy interactions with other people/pets/stimulation we may encounter along the way!

About: My name is Al and I don't mind spending time with any dog. Always a good time. If you select me for this job I'll do my best to make sure your dog(s) have a friendly healthy experience. I've never had a problem with dogs, even ones that bite. And I will pick up after them on walks. Whatever the situation is, it's no problem. I do really need the extra money and it would be my pleasure to build an ongoing arrangement for your convenience. I am very careful with any responsibility given to me. I will watch out for other dogs and your dogs safety, as well as anyone else and abuse. If there is any discrepancy you need to know I will tell you. If you have any questions, just ask. Thank you.
About: I've been sitting big breed dogs and have had them since I was a kid. If I could, I would have a dozen of them, but for now, I will babysit your dog. I work from home, and my partner also has a flexible schedule, so they are usually around too, providing your dog with companionship, attention, and supervision throughout the day. Walks, backyard playtime, enrichment, and plenty of snuggles are part of my daily routine. We value kindness, inclusivity, respect, and emotional safety. Our home is a judgment-free zone for people and pets. I have a fenced yard, nothing to jump off, and a friendly rescue yellow Labrador/pittie mix who loves to play with dog visitors. He is also great at reading dog body language and at giving new visitors their space until they are ready to engage. I’m experienced with dogs who have restrictions - physical, food sensitivities or allergies - or just need extra time settling in. As a former volunteer with Southern California Labrador Rescue, I fostered and pulled dogs from shelters. I understand the unique needs — and big hearts — that often come with rescue dogs. I love both in-home boarding and house sitting. Staying in a client’s home gives me a peaceful change of scenery for my writing and allows dogs to stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I’m available to house sit throughout Southern California. I work from home full-time, Monday-Friday. On weekends, we typically garden, cook, and go for walks or hikes. Snuggles, backyard playtime, and lots of interaction time are a critical part of my day with your dog. I am a homeowner with a fenced yard in a gated neighborhood, a rescue mutt to keep your dog company, and a cat. My teenager is also a dog lover who spoils our Charlie. Dogs are allowed on the furniture and on the bed. I have dog beds, lots of water bowls, and time for pets. Our dog is a big hunk of love at 116 lbs, and I have always had big dogs. He LOVES having dog friends at the house.
“Jessica was great with communication and our doggo. Comet was absolutely exhausted from all the exercise he got. We’ll be reaching out to Jessica again for our next out of town trip.”

“Brenda was great with my animals and I was able to enjoy my time away knowing they were being well cared for. I would highly recommend her. I look forward to her caring for my pets in my home in the future.”

About: With my dedication to personalized care tailored to each pet's unique needs and skills in providing compassionate senior care all the way to feeding new puppies, I ensure your furry family members receive the attention and support they deserve, making their time away from you as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. Pet care fits seamlessly into my weekly routine, even with a part-time job. I schedule visits or walks around my work hours, ensuring pets receive consistent care and attention. Mornings and evenings are typically reserved for feeding, exercise, and playtime, while medication schedules are strictly adhered to as per the client's instructions. This structured approach ensures pets remain happy, healthy, and well-cared for despite my other commitments. Overnight stay provided if needed. When caring for pets in my client's home, I prioritize their comfort and well-being by following a tailored routine that includes feeding according to their schedule, providing fresh water, administering medications if needed, engaging in playtime and exercise, and offering plenty of affection and companionship. Additionally, I follow any specific instructions provided by the client regarding their pet's care, ensuring a seamless and stress-free experience for both the pet and the owner.
“June went above and beyond to make sure our dog, Athena was well taken care of! June house sat for us for four days and our dog seemed so happy and like we had never left her when we got back. She took Athena on different and long walks and hikes several times a day and brought her all kinds of treats that she loved. June even added in some much needed training for our dog that used to pull like crazy on walks! It has been so difficult to find someone to watch Athena, and I’ve searched and searched. I would recommend June to anyone looking to have their dog well taken of. She has a great connection with animals and really cares about dogs!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Wheeler Ridge
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 232 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Wheeler Ridge. 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 Wheeler Ridge 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 Wheeler Ridge 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 Wheeler Ridge 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.
