“Katie and Quixem are fantastic pet sitters! We hired them to watch our dog and rabbit while we were on vacation. They were incredibly responsive while we were away. They kept us updated with regular messages and photos that reassured us that our pets were doing well. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and loving care for their pets and home.”
“Juan stepped into provide home care for Brodie, our King Charles. The service was excellent, especially considering this occurred during the recent period of challenging weather and flooding conditions. Juan was great at keeping me updated and sending photos. He also managed a seamless handover to a friend who took over Brodie’s care for the remainder of my time abroad. I’m happy to recommend him.”
“Emily provided excellent care of our elderly dog administering insulin shots twice a day while we were out of town. She was gentle and loving with our girl who isn't used to us being away and having different routines. Additionally, Emily identified areas where our house sitter could improve care of our dogs outside of Emily's time with them. I would recommend Emily for any future care!”
About: I've always had family pets and loved animals. My babies growing up were a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, a German Shepherd, and many cats. I also have cared for birds, hamsters, hermit crabs, horses, cows, fish, and up to 200 kids at a time so I'm sure whatever pet you have I can handle! Additionally, I’m a rentals supervisor and am in charge of a bunch of people everyday. I’m trained in CPR and Wilderness First Aid (not for dogs, but it might crossover 🤷🏼♀️). I can clean, cook, and ski if your dog likes that? I work for the ski resort 8 hr shifts 5 shifts a week, and I enjoy nights out line dancing, but other than that I can be available to watch, walk, and care for your pets. On my days off, I am happy to take or not take your pet on outdoor adventures. I'm happy to watch your pets in your home. I can be flexible with how you choose for me to watch them! Happy to stick around for overnight care.
“Gabrielle overnighted with our King Charles Spaniel last week. This was the second time using her service. Prompt arrival, asked all the right questions and provided text updates - even a photo of a happy dog. Responsible sitter and one I plan use in the future. Thanks!”
“Lalenya was wonderful keeping our three dogs and home safe and sound while we were out of town. Our dogs were comfortable with her immediately during our meet and greet and I felt comfortable leaving them in her care. She provided pictures of our pups and let me know of important issues with the house. Would definitely book again!”
About: I had a dog for my whole life, and cared for him from puppy to senior, so I know how to care for a dog at any stage of its wonderful life! I have also watched dogs of all sizes, from a chihuahua to a weimaraner! I am very active and would love to walk and play with your furry friend! I am VERY available this summer, and would love to care for your pet! I have a big car love to be outside and active! I am very clean and organized, trustworthy, and reliable. I am devoted to creating a safe environment for your pet! I make sure to clean up all areas and make sure your pet is healthy, happy, and comfortable!
“My cat, Luna, was very well taken care of and I received multiple updates and adorable photos while I was gone for just two days. Luna is usually a bit put off with me when I leave her behind, but this time she seemed perfectly content and her usual snuggly self when I came home, thanks to Ryasa!”
“Thank you so much for taking such sweet care of our fur babies! Our little ChiChi was diagnosed with Addisons just the week before and was very ill. We came home to a very happy boy who had gained nearly all 9 pounds of his weight loss back! Thank you!!!”
“Eleanor watched our dog Scout for us at our house over a 4-day long weekend. Scout got walks and lots of attention! We felt good leaving Scout in Eleanor’s hands while we were away—she’s communicative and very responsive. And left everything very tidy! We’d have her back for sure!”
About: Hi! I joined a local organization called Purrfect Pals at 16 years old. It was a place dedicated to giving our feline friends a chance for or they provided a happy life for our feline friends where they could live out the rest of their days in peace. Old or young, healthy or sick, grumpy or happy. They all had a home at perfect pals! I strive to follow the same ideals and treat all furry friends as my own family. I grew up with dogs and cats and have spent my entire life around them. Often being called a Dog or Cat whisper (Though i always deny it!) I know how difficult it is to trust your baby with a stranger, I promise to treat your baby as mine. As I would wish no less for my Loki. Hi, Honestly it’s only three days out of the week that I need to limit the exact times that i can provide potty breaks. I work three 9s and two 6.5s, while having Thursday and Fridays off work. I often start early in the morning and am off work by early to mid afternoon, which provides plenty of time for our furry friends even on days I do work my other job! As long as i’m aware of the time frame I can be pretty dang flexible! Base Expectations for Cat Care: Food! water refresh, litter box cleaning, brushing (if cat likes) and play time (this length and type depending on cat (please tell me all about your kitty!)), Base Expectations for Dog Care: Feeding, water refill, potty break! play time! please tell me what your dog likes! I prefer to meet the dog where they are :) *I’ll follow all feeding schedules as best I can!
“Andrea was great. We had her come stay at our Airbnb while we took a fishing trip while visiting Washington. She took such great care of our baby so we could enjoy our fishing trip stress free. She kept me updated with picture throughout the trip so I wouldn’t be worried. Also, the day before she came by to do a meet a greet and make sure we were comfortable beforehand. All in all we had a great experience and I will definitely use rover again!”
“Jessica is awesome, and so is George! Our dog Bria is very much a home body and picky about the humans she chooses to befriend. Bria and Jessica did great together, and Bria loved playing with George! Jessica communicates well and was a pleasure to work with. We would not hesitate to use Jessica again. Bria said it's okay, and she's the one we are trying to please! :-)”
About: I’ve been a mom to small dogs most my adult life. I currently have a chill 7 lb shih tzu mix that would love company on our two daily walks. I work part-time and am never away for more than 4 hours. (Often my college age son is home when I’m out) I’ve taken care of very young pups as well as older dogs requiring medications and special diets. I’m responsible and loving, doing my best to keep pups content while their people are away. I’m communicative and responsive and provide daily pupdates. I work two to three days a week for no more than 4 hours, so I’m home a lot. I have a 7 year-old shih tzu mix that I walk twice a day so I have a good routine established. My college age son lives with me and is super helpful and responsible. Generally if I’m out, he’s home to give extra potty breaks and belly rubs. My back yard is quite big and securely fenced-lots of room for sniffing! My house is cozy and comfortable-I’m happy to have pups on my lap on the couch and in my bed for the night. I do host up to 3 dogs at a time and have a small pup of my own, so I ask that your dog is well socialized.
“Katey was amazing. She was very communicative and attuned to my pets needs and personalities. She was reliable and I came home to happy pets. I would definitely use her again!!”
About: I've cared for dogs of all sizes and breeds for about 9 years, mostly through friends and family who trusted me with their pets. I'm comfortable with both playful and calm temperaments, and I've handled walks, feeding, and overnight boarding. I am a dog lover, who at times have taught skills to young puppies. I am always upfront about what I can and can't do. I'm available Monday through Friday from 1pm to 5pm for walks and drop-in visits. I can also take on boarding, depending on availability. Generally I am flexible and happy to adjust I work from home part-time in a big apartment, so I'm around most of the day. Your dog gets actual company: someone nearby while they nap, play, or just wander around sniffing things. I don't have my own pet yet, so your dog gets the full spotlight.

FAQs for House Sitting - Garcia
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 1,874 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Garcia. 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 Garcia 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 Garcia 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 Garcia 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.
