“Lehna is super communicative and incredibly kind! She took care of my dog Kona while I was on vacation and when I came back Kona was so happy. I knew that she was in good hands with Lehna. Lehna made sure that Kona wasn’t anxious while I was gone. Lehna kept in touch and sent photos. I definitely recommend Lehna, I know I’ll be booking her again!”
“Anna was so sweet with my puppy. She spent some time with her and even went the extra mile trying to get her to sleep before she left. She did a meet and greet the day before hand which was nice of her. Would definitely reach out again for a check in!”
“Zoeyanne is the best! She is our “go to” solution for pet sitting in the Half Moon Bay area. She is thorough, prompt and professional, and she really cares about my cat! You cannot miss with Zoeyanne!”
“Vicky did an amazing job with my cat Juno. She walked, fed, and played with her. I was impressed with how quickly she responded to messages and how reliable she was. The daily pictures made me feel confident that my cat was in good hands. I will be booking Vicky in the future!”
“Alyssa did a fantastic job checking in on my dogs while I was away. She was very thorough and took the time for a meet and greet before the check in. Clearly cared about making sure everything was just right. My dogs were happy and well taken care of, and I really appreciated the peace of mind. Highly recommend! Thanks Alyssa!”
“First time booking Esmeralda to drop-in on our cats and she was great! She was very punctual and easy to communicate with throughout the entire process. We loved receiving photos from her at each visit. We will definitely be returning to Esmeralda the next time we are away.”
“James was awesome! Very professional and great about uploading pictures/descriptions of the activities for the day. Always on a great time schedule as well. Would definitely rebook!”
“Emily was very easy to talk to. She communicated well, sent us detailed messages and was always on time. We came home to a clean house. She helped with our mails and took great care of the cats. One of our cats was braver than the other so she ended up eating the other's share of wet food. Emily then fed them in separate areas so the shy one got to eat as well.”
About: Hi everyone! Just a lifelong dog lover who grew up around pups of all kinds and would love to help out in my free time! I recently graduated from San Francisco State and am currently applying to nursing schools, so caring for others (including your pets!) is very close to my heart. I love getting outside for long walks and some sunshine, and I’m always happy to spend quality time with animals. I was also a dog foster during my time in college! I'm reliable, friendly, and super excited to meet your furry little family member! I’m currently working part-time so I usually have afternoons on weekdays free for sunshine and puppy time! I also have weekends completely available:) I have a fenced yard for my sweet little guy! Since he’s a bit older, we’re usually taking shorter walks these days and focusing more on cuddles 😊

“Mario took great care of our dogs- when we were on vacation. We appreciate the communication and photos. We will definitely ask him to help out in the future.”
“My cat usually hates everyone except me and my husband but she appeared for Stephanie! Stephanie did a great job following the instructions we left and was able to take us on at the last minute when our usual sitter fell through. Will definitely be booking with her again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - El Granada
Lehna is phenomenal and now my go-to person! She took care of my dog, Lyla, an older dog who has some special medical needs in addition to her daily care. Lehna paid close attention to our directions and took especial care in documenting Lyla's health and routine day-by-day. She is also very observant and proactive, checking for things that I myself didn't think to mention! While I usually have some anxiety about taking time away from Lyla, Lehna's fantastic work allowed both myself and my partner to have a peaceful vacation. I can't recommend her enough and will be solely using her services from now on!
Amber seems trustworthy and conscientious, and she is an excellent dog sitter. One of my dogs is sweet, but also high-energy and not always a good listener. In no time, Amber gently coaxed him into behaving quite well. He was even behaving better for me after her visit. She also paid attention to my quieter dog,, who sometimes gets overlooked.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in El Granada on Rover is $25.53 per visit (as of June 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of June 2026, there are 10,863 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across El Granada. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a El Granada stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in El Granada. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
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.
