“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!”

“Terra did an amazing job with communicating and providing the necessary care to our pets and home, while we were in vacation. She truly showed professionlism in asking the necessary questions. I'm sure our pets loved her based on all the GREAT photos she sent. Plus our house was exactly like we left it! We will definitely use her again!! Thanks Terra!”

About: Specialized care for dogs with medical needs or mobility challenges — and just as much love for the easygoing ones. I've had animals in my life since I can remember, and connecting with them has always come naturally to me — dogs who won't let strangers near them tend to warm up to me fast, much to the surprise of their owners. That instinct is backed by real, hands-on experience — with cats as well as dogs, including medical care and behavior work (more on that below). My own dog is a blind tripawd — I've been through amputation recovery firsthand, along with multiple other surgery recoveries, daily medication schedules, and eye drop routines. When he started losing his vision, I trained him to navigate the world confidently and learned how to walk him safely even as a blind dog on three legs. That means I'm comfortable with: • Post-surgery and mobility recovery (amputee/tripawd care, braces, restricted activity) • Daily medications (pills and liquid), eye drops, and other at-home medical routines — including administering meds for other people's dogs, not just my own • Vision-impaired dogs and adaptive walking/navigation cues • Cats with medical or behavioral needs (see Cat Care section below) I also have experience with leash reactivity and dog-to-dog reactivity, and anxious or fearful dogs — I've worked closely with a veterinary behaviorist and excellent trainers over the years, putting in the real, patient work to rehabilitate a traumatized rescue. I'm comfortable taking on reactive dogs, though it's not my primary focus. And of course — dogs with zero "issues" are always welcome too. Sometimes the best job is just a happy walk and a belly rub. Beyond dogs, I bring over a decade of childcare experience, which turns out to translate surprisingly well: patience, reading body language and mood, sticking to routines, and staying calm when things don't go as planned. Why Choose Me? If your dog needs extra patience, a steady hand, or someone who won't flinch at a brace, a medication regimen, or a wobbly gait — I've done it before, and I'll treat your dog like my own. I have a lot of flexibility in my availability. On any day marked available on my calendar, I Ican guarantee I won't be away from your pet for more than 3 hours at a stretch. I offer a free meet-and-greet before any booking — especially useful for anxious, fearful, or reactive dogs, so we can see how your dog responds to me on their own terms before anything is official. Because I'm coming into your space rather than the other way around, I focus on keeping things as close to your pet's normal routine as possible — following your existing schedule, feeding times, and habits rather than imposing my own. Outings happen wherever you and your dog are comfortable, whether that's your usual walking route, a dog park, or the beach — I adapt to what's familiar to your dog rather than introducing new environments during what can already be a stressful transition. For dogs that benefit from extra socialization, I'm happy to set up one-on-one playdates or supervised park/beach time. For reactive dogs specifically, I can coordinate distanced parallel walks alongside another trusted sitter, giving your dog controlled exposure at a safe distance rather than avoiding other dogs altogether.

About: I’ve always had a natural connection with dogs and genuinely enjoy being around them, whether that’s going on long walks, playing fetch, or just keeping them company. I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, temperaments, and energy levels, and I’m comfortable following specific routines, administering basic care, and making sure each dog feels safe and loved while you’re away. I live an active lifestyle, so I’m happy to keep up with high-energy pups, but I also understand the importance of patience and calm for more relaxed or anxious dogs. My goal is to make sure your dog feels at home, even when you’re not. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine! With my current work schedule, I have the flexibility to make time for walks, drop-ins, and extended visits throughout the week. I enjoy staying active and spending time with animals, so incorporating pet care into my day is something I genuinely look forward to. I prioritize being dependable, communicative, and making sure every pet receives plenty of attention, love, and quality time! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I carefully follow all instructions, like feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and any specific preferences your pet has. I make sure they get the right balance of playtime, attention, and calm energy depending on their personality. I’m also very respectful of your home, keep things clean, and provide regular updates and photos so you feel at ease while you’re away.

“Isabella is hands down the best pet sitter I have ever used! From the moment she met my dogs, it was clear she has a genuine love for animals and completely understands how to handle them. She was incredibly attentive, followed all of the care instructions perfectly, and went above and beyond to make sure they felt comfortable, safe, and loved while away. She kept me updated with great communication and the sweetest photo updates, which gave me total peace of mind. My pups were so happy, relaxed, and well-cared for when I got back. If you want a sitter who will treat your dogs like her own, look no further than Isabella. I will definitely be booking her again! Thank you so much, Isabella!”

About: Greetings! I am an experienced pet lover ready to help with your pet needs. A little about me: I grew up with a house full of dogs- they were our siblings! When I was in college I started volunteering with dog & cat rescues and fostered pets until they could have a forever home. We currently have a golden at our house. I am available for part and full time pet sitting, as well as dog walking, and any pet visits. We are able to take overnight and day pets at our home too as long as it’s the right fits for our dog. I am available to provide your pet with great care- for my day job I am fully remote, working from home so my schedule is flexible. I am an active person, so am happy to take your pets for walks and hikes, and can also just relax with them if they are older or less active breeds. I have worked with dogs & cats of all ages, and am also quite knowledgeable with puppy training & can assist with your puppy needs. Please let me know how I can help and I look forward to working with you! I currently work remote, so I am able to have flexibility with pet care. I have a dog myself, so we start early! I can help with walks, dog-sitting, and boarding at my home. I have a fenced yard and safe home. I walk my dog twice per day, and for pet sitting, as much as needed. For my clients home, I can work with your schedule for you pets.

About: Hi there, I have had my current dog for 14 years now and I got her when she was a puppy. About 2 years ago I became a dog dad to a Belgian Malinois and about 5 years ago another dog joined our family Hi! I’m Joshua, a reliable and attentive pet lover who genuinely enjoys getting to know each dog’s personality and routine. I work from home, so I’m able to be around your pets throughout the day and provide plenty of potty breaks, companionship, attention, and supervision. I have extensive hands-on experience caring for dogs of different breeds, ages, sizes, and personalities—from energetic puppies to senior dogs and pets who need a little extra patience or specialized care. I’m comfortable following individual feeding schedules, routines, medications, and care instructions because I know every pet has different needs. My goal is to make your dog feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. I treat every pet as an individual rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach. Whether your dog wants to play, go for a long walk, relax beside me while I work, or simply have some extra attention and cuddles, I’m happy to follow their lead. I also know how important it is to feel connected to your pet while you’re away. I love sending regular photo and message updates so you can see how your pup is doing and know they’re having a great time. I have experience caring for dogs and cats of many different ages, breeds, and personalities, including senior pets and pets requiring medication or additional care. I currently have senior dogs of my own, which has given me firsthand experience with the patience, consistency, and attention that older pets can require. I’m comfortable following detailed instructions and keeping a close eye on changes in behavior, appetite, energy, and overall wellbeing. Your pet’s normal routine matters to me, and I’ll do my best to keep things as familiar and stress-free as possible while you’re away.

FAQs for House Sitting - Del Dios

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Del Dios is $56 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $90 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 7,254 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Del Dios. 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 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.

<b>Tip:</b> 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 , 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 .

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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Del Dios. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% 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.
