“Africa did amazing with our little boy. He has big separation anxiety. She was patient, kind, and provided several updates throughout the day. Aside from family members she is the only other person we trust with our dog. Will definitely be using her services again!”


About: Got a senior dog? Or a 12-week old puppy? I’ve sat them all! I have a lot of experience with senior dogs, including my own chocolate lab River, who sadly passed at 12 years old earlier this year. On top of caring for my own senior dog, I have cared for other senior dogs. I am comfortable administering oral medication, eye drops, clipping nails, and feeding and potty schedules. I have also pet sit puppies before and understand how important nap time is for a growing pup. Plus, tiring them out before their owners get home 😆. I work full time in a hybrid environment. I typically will work at my pet sitting location during the day. In days I go in the office, I can offer a lunchtime drop in visit for stays that are longer. Typically I won’t schedule pet sitting services for my in office days ( Tuesday and wednesdays). I’m pretty flexible otherwise. I am the type of pet sitter that loves a schedule and sticks to it. Needs medication at 6? Done. I love sending updates and photos to my pet owners throughout the day and check in if I notice anything out of normal behavior. I like to typically meet the pet before my stay begins so they are familiar with me beforehand.
About: Pets deserve the best! Grew up surrounded by all types of pets, such as dogs, cats, turtles, and hamsters. Have had a cat of my own for 6 years, and I've constantly looked after my sister's dog since he was a puppy. I was the animal-obsessed one in my family, constantly taking in strays. I am a student at a University and have class on Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. However, I am free on those days after 5 pm. On Monday, Wednesday, and the weekend. I am free at any hour. I give my full attention to the animal when I am with them and treat them as my own. I am always sure the animal is comfortable before anything. I love to treat other people's pets as my own, and know when to give them their space. Am respectful of others' homes and careful not to disturb space. Instructions are easy for me to follow, and I like to send updates with photos of your fur baby.
“Kate housesat for our pups so we could attend a last minute trip out of town. I love the updates and pictures. She even made them homemade treats! I know my pups are happy when we're home but they always look for her after she's left!”

About: I was 3 years old when my family got our 1st dog. Since then have had 5 dachshunds. My grandfather had greyhounds that I spent hours with as a child. Recently I had 2 brother and sister rescue chihuahuas. Both had mitral valve disease. I have giving multiple medications several times a day for senior dogs. Both have passed due to MVD. One 13 the other 15. Have had this experiance with senior dogs with health conditions. I am retired so I am free 24/7. I am available for in house or at clients house 24/7. Overnights are fine and welcome. Last month my last fur baby passed. I have fenced yard and a 2 bedroom house and live alone. Lots of room in the house. I gave my two dogs multiple pills for their heart disease until it took their lives.
“Bob was an amazing sitter for our corgi and husky! He was on time for both the meet & greet and the actual booking, and was very professional and kind throughout the entire experience. He sent us multiple daily updates, photos, and videos, and it was clear both dogs were getting lots of playtime, attention, and love. Our corgi usually gets extra emotional when we come home, but this time she seemed so happy and relaxed, which really showed us how well cared for they were. Our house was also left in great condition. We’re very happy with Bob and will definitely book with him again!”

About: I’ve been pet sitting for the last 13 years! Throughout my life I’ve owned and adopted 3 dogs, as well as serving as my friends/family go to sitter! I am extremely responsible and absolutely love all animals! I am self employed, so my hours are very flexible and I can easily fit work in around pet sitting needs/hours! My schedule is very easy to adjust and change according to the needs of each day. I can easily care for your pet in uour home, as I understand sometimes pets are more comfortable in a familiar environment. I am very timely so will always be there on time for feeding and walking or check ins/play time.
“Iulia is a wonderful, caring person who did a fantastic job watching Bella over the 2017 New Years holiday. She was a lifesaver when we had air travel delays and had to extend for a day. Weve found both a Bella AND family friend. THANKS!”

“Robert house sat for our pitbull over the Christmas holidays and I couldn't recommend him more. Our dog is a little bit of a special needs dog with her reactivity on walks, but Robert was able to work around her needs and gave her early morning or late night adventures. He sent tons of updates, and was a great house guest, leaving everything clean when he left. Communication was easy and clear.”


About: 🐾 A Loving Home Away From Home for Your Pets! Hi there! I’m a huge animal lover and would love to welcome your furry family members into my home! I know how important it is to feel confident that your pets are safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Safety is always my number one priority, followed closely by making sure every pet feels comfortable, cared for, and right at home! I have a spacious, loving home with a large, fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely run, play, and enjoy the sunshine. I’m also close to beautiful hiking trails and can take your pup on fun outdoor adventures or trips to the dog beach (with your permission, of course!). I have a sweet, playful young corgi who loves making new friends! If your pet enjoys company, they’ll have a built-in playmate. If they prefer their own space, no problem at all! My home allows me to keep pets completely separated on opposite sides of the house if requested. And I’m not just a dog lover! Cats, bunnies, and other small furry friends are welcome, too! I’ll make sure each pet has a safe, comfortable space suited to their individual needs. Whether your pet loves long walks, backyard playtime, or simply curling up for cuddles, I’ll treat them like part of my own family. ❤️ My goal is simple: Give you peace of mind while giving your pet a safe, fun, and loving home away from home! 🐶🐱🐰 I work from home, which gives me plenty of flexibility to provide your pets with lots of love, attention, and supervision throughout the day! I’m able to accommodate regular potty breaks, feeding schedules, backyard playtime, walks, and plenty of cuddles. I love staying active and enjoy taking dogs on walks, nearby hikes, and beach adventures (with your permission, of course!). Since I’m home throughout the day, your pet will have lots of companionship and care rather than being left alone for long periods. I’m happy to adjust my routine to fit your pet’s individual needs and make them feel right at home! 🐾 Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my number one priority! ❤️ I’ve had multiple different pets throughout my life, so I understand that every animal has its own personality, routine, and unique needs. My home offers a large, fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely play and explore, along with plenty of comfortable indoor space to relax. I also have a friendly young corgi who loves to play, but I can easily keep pets separated on opposite sides of the house if preferred. For added peace of mind, I have an animal hospital nearby and a veterinary clinic just down the road in case of an emergency. I always follow your pet’s feeding schedules, medications, routines, and any special instructions you provide. Whether caring for your pet in my home or visiting yours, I’ll treat them like family, respect their boundaries, and make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I’m also happy to send regular photos and updates so you can relax knowing your furry family member is in great hands! 🐾
About: From reptiles to rodents and four legged creatures, I cared for multiple animals that I think I considers myself Snow White…All jokes aside I truly adore animals and have nurtured them with all my love and patience. Although I am a college student ! My availability is open to any precious creature who needs care or even some attention for pet parents who aren’t able too, I am more than happy to provide that for the pet and the owner. It all depends on the clients needs, I’m able to adjust to any changes or specific requirements. Of course, if there is any concerns for the pets safety I would be willing to make accommodations in order to ensure their safety.
About: All animals I care for are treated as my own. With hugs, kisses and scritches! Animals have always been such a huge love in my life! Reliable and last minute dog-sitting is my forte! Currently, I have relocated from rural Ohio to San Marcos. My schedule has full availability and flexibility. After relocating, I no longer have scheduled / regular homes. All animals will be respected by their own schedules, wants and needs. When they want to play, we play. Body language is a key factor in pet-sitting, it is important for me to gauge what the animals need while taking care of them.

About: I am a registered veterinary technician. I am proficient in medication administration and cpr as well as caring for a range of cats and dogs. Always been passionate about fear free and avoiding reactivity. In school for finance and looking for a way to make some extra money. My school is asynchronous. I’m working part time i have some sporadic 6 hour work shifts. So it’s very flexible for me right now. All animals deserve respect. I am a gentle animal lover who always treats animals with the utmost kindness and best care I can provide. I take great pride in quality of pet care.

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 Del Dios 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 Del Dios 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 Del Dios 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.

- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
