About: I have been an emergency room veterinary tech for years and have studied veterinary medicine in college. I own an array of different pets my whole life, so you'll know your pet's are in good hands with all my experience and knowledge. I am currently working part time to help take care of my sick mother and have a lot of availability to walk and care for pets! I have large, fenced yard and a little dog who loves everyone and everything. I am very respectful of other people's homes and aware of what your pet's need!
“Annalie was great with our dog. She followed feeding instructions closely and walked him multiple times per day as we requested. She connected with our dog easily and put him at ease. We will definitely book her again!”
“Alexandria took amazing care of our dog and house for the week! She was very responsive and gave us a lot of confidence that our dog was being taken care of really well while we were gone. Our dog loved her and we couldn’t recommend her more!”
“Hope pet sat our three dogs and two cats while we were away for 2 weeks. She was very communicative, sent lots of updates and pictures, and we felt very comfortable with her house sitting. All the pets loved her too!”
About: I grew up with multiple cats and really loved them. I took very good care of them. When I became an adult, I cared for my dog. Unfortunately, as she aged, she got really sick and I lovingly cared for her until her passing. I then had another dog, who was my life before children. I currently live in an apartment that does not allow pets, even though I desperately want to have them. Until my situation changes, I would love to help take care of your pets when you are unavailable. I'm currently able to work from home 3 days per week. My schedule is flexible, as far as which days I need to be in the office. I can help you take care of your pets when you are not available to do so. I am very respectful of people's homes/property. Although, I am not allowed pets at my apartment, I would enjoy helping you take care of your pets in the comfort of their own home.
“Dawn took wonderful care of our dog and home. She connected with our pup and understood him well. He definitely bonded with her. She shared lots of photos, videos, and stories, and it was clear our dog was happy. We highly recommend Dawn and hope to have her dog sit again soon!”
About: Well, I love dogs and I honestly treat them like children. I take time to train and show affection while also creating a safe environment for your doggy💕 I work full time! But my weekends are free and can also watch during night! We can come up with a schedule that works for all of us! I currently live in a spacious apartment and right behind a park. I’ll make sure your pet is always on a leash and or in a gated area.
About: If your pup needs fresh air and fun, I’ve got you covered! I offer personalized dog walking and love taking dogs on outdoor adventures—whether it’s a calm stroll around the neighborhood, a refreshing beach walk, or a hike on a mountain trail. I enjoy spending time with all types of dogs, I’m patient, reliable, and always focused on keeping your dog safe, exercised, and happy during our time together. Let me know what kind of walk your dog loves most—I’m happy to tailor each walk to your pet’s energy level and needs! I’m available for dog walking and pet care: • Weekdays: Mon-Fri (9AM – 10 PM) • Weekends: Flexible availability—just ask! • Holidays: Available by request If you need walks outside these times, feel free to reach out—I’ll do my best to accommodate your schedule!

I’m attentive, respectful of your space, and always keep dogs on leash during outings. I’m happy to share updates so you can feel confident while you’re away.
“This was Keith’s first time with our dogs and home. He asked a lot of good questions before and during our time away. He sent us pictures and updates daily and left our house in good condition. Much appreciated, Keith!”
About: Hey! my name Is Camila, I am from and Raised in the lovely Bay Area California. Somethings about myself: I love animals off all kinds, from Dogs, Cats, to Horses and Cows!, I’m Social, Kind, and love interacting with others! I am a music Artist and graduated in Music Production with a degree back in 2022. I also own my own costume business started back in 2015. My Experience with animals: I would love to consider myself Doctor DoLittle, I have spend most of my life around dogs and cats sharing my love with them. Ever since I was 5 years old my grandmother and I use to sit up to 8 dogs together in the house from small Teacup Yorkies to big Great Danes. I’ve had plenty of experience working inside other day care facilities, to even my own home daycare in the past. Around 2018 I took place in self training for dogs, such as positive reinforcement training to correcting behaviors, leash pulling and your typical fun tricks. I’ve also do have experience with cats! I love my fellow felines ! Please feel free to contact me! I would love to work and show you my skills as a sitter, walker, etc. I am self employed and own my home at home business. I work flexibility and am willing to take time away to work with my fellow clients and there fur babies. How I take care of my pets at home is by catering to them all the time. I personality love spoiling my dog and cat making sure they also live a happy life but always make sure to keep them in line with training so they don’t break habits. Keeping my animals healthy by their diet or exercise is also important + keeping their minds stimulated such as puzzles.
“Logan was super easy to work with and lovely and caring towards my pup. She is a very capable walker and sitter, actually going above and beyond to ensure Aioli got his walks in. She also was mindful of Aioli’s illness and followed directions around his treatment.”
About: I've been around animals for as long as I can remember, starting with Ginger, my family's German shepherd and husky mix, and four cats growing up. I later spent about two years volunteering at my local SPCA, working hands-on with dogs of every size and temperament, from bouncy puppies to nervous rescues. I've also had cats of my own as an adult, including two rescues, and fostered kittens before I started traveling. Since then I've cared for pets through farm stays and housesits across Costa Rica, Panama, Spain, and Canada — dogs, cats, chickens, goats, even an adult pet rat. I'm comfortable administering medication, working with anxious or senior animals, and managing multi-pet households. I'm calm, attentive, and treat every home and animal I look after like my own. I'm currently transitioning to the San Mateo County area temporarily starting early November and building my schedule around pet care full-time, so I have plenty of flexibility for house sits, and daily visits, including extended or last-minute stays. I don't currently have a conflicting 9-to-5, which means I can commit fully to a pet's normal routine for the length of a booking rather than fitting care in around other work. Since I focus on house sitting, I stay at your home rather than asking your pet to adjust to a new environment. I follow feeding, medication, and walking routines exactly as instructed, keep the house clean and secure, and send regular photo updates so you can relax while you're away. I don't bring other pets into the home, so your animal gets my full attention for the whole stay.
“Anna is a delightful person and a great pet-sitter! I came home to a happy critter and everything was clean All the house “rules” were abided by, and most importantly, my Mia was happy and healthy. She’s going to be my go-to!”
“Amazing pet sitter! I had a last minute trip and was scrambling to find a sitter. Lauren sent daily photos and took great care of my pets and my home. Will definitely contact again!”

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 El Granada 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 El Granada 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 El Granada 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!

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 .

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.
