About: Pets have been my passion for a long as I can remember! I grew up with them my whole life, and it inspired my passion to care for them into adulthood. I will care for your fur babies as I would care for my own! I’m an Army Veteran who currently works part time, which leaves me with plenty of time to love your pets and give them compassionate care. Every pet has unique personalities, and I enjoy getting to know what makes each one special. My daily pet care routine includes feeding, tidying up, and giving as much love or space as they prefer. I focus on keeping your pets routine consistent and their environment stress-free, so you can feel confident they're in good hands! When I care for your pets during drop-in visits, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Every pet has their own personality, and I take the time to understand what makes them feel secure whether that’s quiet companionship, gentle play, or keeping a respectful distance.

Liz is such a sweetheart and very trustworthy. She was so good with our 7 month old pup Oz. He just adored her. When we got home we could tell he had a great day and wasn’t the slightest bit stressed out. We will be having her help us with our pup again!!

About: I’ve been raised around dogs my entire life and have hands-on experience caring for them in every stage — from playful puppies to seniors who need a little extra patience and attention. Having supported my own dogs through their later years, I understand how important gentle, attentive care is. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work Monday through Friday from 5:30 AM to 2:30 PM, which means I’m available for early morning visits before work and have my full afternoons and evenings open for walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, and overnight care. Because I’m off mid-afternoon, your pet won’t be waiting all day for attention. I’m able to give them consistent, reliable care and quality time — whether that’s a calm check-in, an energetic walk, or simply extra cuddles to help them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I will always care for your pet the way you feel most comfortable, especially in your own home. I carefully follow any instructions you leave — from feeding routines and medications to favorite toys and bedtime habits — because I know how important consistency is for their comfort and your peace of mind. If they stay in my home, they’ll be welcomed into a calm, loving environment alongside my two pets. They’ll have access to a fully fenced backyard where they can safely explore and enjoy fresh air. I’m able to separate from my cat if needed to ensure everyone feels secure and comfortable. While I’m not able to separate from my dog, he is well-socialized and used to being around other animals. My goal is always to create a safe, warm space where your pet feels cared for, understood, and at home.

About: 4 years around dogs from big dog ranch & past work at puppy stores. I do watch my neighbors dogs as well. Frequent updates (with pictures) of your dog. Former police officer😁 Hi! I’m a reliable and caring dog sitter who genuinely loves spending time with animals. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping your pup company, I make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I understand that every dog has their own personality and routine, so I take the time to follow your instructions closely from feeding schedules to favorite toys and habits. I’m patient, attentive, and always prioritize your dog’s well-being. You can count on regular updates, photos, and clear communication so you have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. Whether it’s a quick drop-in or extended care, I treat every dog like they’re my own. Your dog’s safety always comes first. I carefully follow all instructions, keep a close eye on behavior, and make sure your pet is always secure whether we’re at home, on walks, or during playtime. I’m patient, observant, and quick to respond to any changes in your dog’s needs. I maintain a clean, stress-free environment and treat every dog with the same level of care and respect I would expect for my own. You’ll also receive regular updates and photos so you always feel connected and reassured while you’re away. My goal is simple: give you peace of mind and make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for at all times.

Our Dog, Blu, took to Destiny immediately (good sign) and I could tell she would be a great in-home sitter for our week away. She asked all the right questions regarding his care and feeding, took good care of him and our home, and communicated daily with updates. She ensured he went for walks and got lots of attention. I definitely recommend Destiny will book her again.

Teri took great and loving care of my dog for 12 days. She went on long walks and took him to a variety of dog parks every day which he loved. Teri is a great communicator and sent pictures every day. She took great care of my home as a house sitter as well. I have booked her again for dog & house sitting in the future as I was very happy with her dedication and care for my dog and home.

It was our first time doing overnight sitting while we were on vacation and Kacey did a great job watching our babies! Kacey came over ahead of time and met the pups, and they loved getting attention from her during her stay. She sent us pictures and check ins daily. I would recommend Kacey and I’m glad we found someone to care for them the way we do.

FAQs for House Sitting - Dona Vista

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Dona Vista on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 1,714 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Dona Vista. 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 Dona Vista 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 Dona Vista 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 Dona Vista 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 Dona Vista. On Rover:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% 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.
