“Maci took great care of my sweet girl. She provided regular updates and photos and I feel my dog was well taken care of. I wound totally recommend Maci as a sitter. Thank you!”
About: My name is Noemi and I have lots of experience with dogs under my belt. I’ve worked at a dog daycare, the humane society, and a vet clinic, and I’m currently going to school to be a groomer. I even have four dogs of my own which keeps me on my toes. I’m currently working part-time as a bather about to go to grooming academy. As of right now I’m available Tuesday and Wednesday all day and I’m available anytime before 12:30 on Thursdays. I have four very friendly dogs. When they get a little too crazy we put them in their kennels to take a little nap, or enrichment to keep them occupied.
“Erika did an amazing job with our two pups and cat! We took a long 4 day weekend and were completely at ease the entire time! We came back to our pups and cat in great shape(I noticed she took care of their paw pads, thank you so much!) and totally loved on! I highly recommend you book Erika for your pet sitting needs, we definitely will!”
About: I have fostered Bichons thru Bichon Fur Kids Rescue in addition to previous dog sitting. I have also shown in AKC dog shows. Love dogs ! I am available 7 days a week. I prefer over-nights at my home. I am retired and have one 15 year old Bichon that loves playmates. I have a fenced yard and an unused tennis court to let the dogs run in. Walking on leash in the park is fun too.
About: A natural born caretaker, I’ve taken care of Dogs, cats, birds and kids most of my life. I was also a full time Realtor for 10 years so I’m familiar with navigating households in a professional manner. I live a sober, simple, happy life and if we seem to be a good fit, I would love to help care for your pets and your home as if they were my own. 🙏💕✌️ My availability is open right now. I am new to the area but have my own transportation so I’m more than willing to travel when and where needed. I would care for pets in YOUR home. I am confident in my abilities to both pet and house sit as I was a housekeeper/mom for 25 years, a realtor for 9, and business owner so I’m very respectful of others and their homes. I have been a pet owner most of my life. Also did pet sit regularly for my moms 2 dogs for past year and LOVED it 🥰. I very naturally keep a neat home, follow a schedule and tend to others needs easily.
About: I genuinely enjoy being around dogs and making them feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I'm active, patient, and love going on walks, playing, or just keeping them company. I'll care for your dog the same way I would my own. Pet care is already part of my everyday life because of my own dog, Taco. He's super active, so walks and park trips are already part of my everyday routine. I genuinely enjoy being around dogs, so dog walking and drop in visits fit naturally into my schedule. I'm available weekday afternoons and anytime on weekends. I always want dogs to feel safe and comfortable around me. On walks, I pay attention to their pace, surroundings, and anything that could stress them out. In a client's home, I follow their routine and make sure their dog feels relaxed and cared for. I treat my dog like they're my own ❤️
“Angelina was fantastic! We received regular photos showing our dogs happy and being themselves. She stayed in our home for about 10 days and everything was the same as when we left. Hopefully she stays around San Diego and will watch our dogs again in the future. It can be hard to find people to trust to watch your family and stay in your home.”
“Donatella is AMAZING! It was my first time using Rover and I chose her because of the great reviews from her clients and thought I'd take a chance on her. Turns out, it was a great decision. I have a senior dog that has severe separation anxiety and cannot be left alone. Donatella was so kind and patient with my baby. She even sent me updates several times throughout the day. I highly recommend her for all services in her expertise.”
“Jennifer was great! She was communicative and send photos unprompted almost every day. She was even kind enough to leave our cat some gifts in his stocking as she watched him over the holidays. Will book her again!”
“Great experience. Amanda is so nice and personable. My pugs took to her right away and were well taken care of. She was very communicative and sent pictures of our hooligans while we were away. Will definitely book again in the future.”
“Rae did a great job with our little girl. She spent lots of time with her and got to know her well. She sent us photo and video updates daily. We will use her again.”
About: I’ve cared for energetic puppies and senior pets, handling feeding, walks, routines, basic training, playtime, and extra patience while learning each pet’s unique personality. I’m a stay-at-home mom, so I have a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to provide dependable pet care, walks, playtime, feeding, and attention throughout the week and on weekends. I treat every pet and home with the utmost respect and genuine care. I carefully follow your instructions, lovingly supervise your pets, keep their routines consistent, and always keep you updated with their well-being.
About: I work at a animal boarding and daycare center. I love what I do and would be happy to help people with their pets! Leash pulling and biting doesn’t bug me at all and I’m excited to meet some new furry friends! I work early in the morning but will still have plenty of time in the day and night to play with pets and make sure their needs are met! I understand that pets can be messy but have no problem keeping a safe and clean environment! I also know that the cleanliness for an animal is very important
“Gretchen was amazing. She spent a mo th caring for my cat and my home. I came home to a perfectly clean home and my kitty was well taken care of. Halle will miss all the attention and love she got from Gretchen. I would definitely have Gretchen back. A++”
“Lily was an amazing house sitter and took such great care of our dog Marley! She sent daily updates with photos and we knew Marley was well exercised with daily walks and given lots of love. We came home to a clean house and a very happy dog. I highly recommend Lily and will definitely hire her again. Thank you Lily!!”
About: Hi my name is Ash! I currently don’t have a job so I’m available for all services at any time. I’ve been around different types of dogs my entire life. I love to keep dogs entertained and happy by playing with them, walking with them, letting them run around the house, feeding them yummy treats and food, and give lots of cuddles! I’m very good at keeping an eye on dogs when they are wearing a cone or if they are sick. I have experience on giving antibiotics to dogs. I usually let dogs out to go pee every 2-3 hours. I love all animals and am so excited to take care of your dog! I have an apartment but I live close to plenty of dog parks! My schedule is open I don’t work at a physical place right now so I have more than enough time to care for my dogs and yours! I have a nice spacious apartment your dog can run around in and I will always keep an eye on what they are doing. I always make sure there isn’t anything they could get into that would hurt them. Any mess that is made will also always be cleaned up.
“I had a house/dog sitter lined up but the had a family emergency and bailed on 6 days before I was leaving town. After searching, begging, and panicking, I got a response for Shea who was on board with the work and timeframe! He was very communicative, sending me messages regularly and responding quickly. He kept in the loop about my pets (dog and hamsters). And, one of the most important factors for me, he was kind and enjoyed being with the animals. He has experience with dogs so knows how to work with them and my dog behaved well and listened to him. When we got back my dog was a little confused - this was the first time we had ever left her with another person so we knew that she would be and Shea hung out a few minutes and we talked about some of the many many things he does while we acclimated a bit. My dog has an abuse history but with Shea she wasn't jumpy at all, she was comfortable and felt safe - that alone was a huge sign to me - just seeing how she reacted after a week with him and she was happy, comfortable, and calm. Oh and he pointed out an owie she got while we were gone so we could get it taken care of. Thanks Shea! I highly recommend him to others looking for someone!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Guatay
Maci watched my two dogs and two cats in my home for 8 nights. I found her to be responsible and trustworthy. The animals loved her even though they can be difficult. One of my cats is antisocial and one of my dogs gets nervous and stops eating when stressed. Maci was able to deal with them perfectly and keep them happy and safe. Even when things became difficult (my gate stuck open due to heavy rains) she was able to communicate with me and she solved the problem. My home was left orderly and I would use Maci again without any reservations. It is wonderful to have found someone I can trust with my home and babies!

FAQs for House Sitting - Guatay
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 3,309 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Guatay. 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 Guatay 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 Guatay 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 Guatay 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.

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.
