“Absolutely phenomenal!!!! I took my first vacation without my pups leaving them in Sandra's care for 5 days. She was very communicative, sent recaps and photos daily and just took care of everything. I felt zero stress or worry while I was gone I new my babies were in the best of care. My husky even snuggled with her which he never does with me :) I will use Sandra every time!!!!!!!!”
“Marissa house sat and dogs sat for us for 3 nights. We really appreciated her ability to adapt. We have a GP who is a rescue. He has become a very sweet and loving dog with us, but we know he can be very territorial, protective and stubborn. He wasn’t easy for her to deal with, but she persevered. When we returned our house was in great shape and she took good care of our boy. We are so glad that we met Marissa. She is willing to come back and deal with our GP and we appreciate that. We will definitely be contacting her again.”

About: I’ve taken care of neighbors pets & have grown up with pets my whole life. I’ve had a few puppies on my own and raised them since they were little. I love them so much and am excited to meet and care for your babies ♥️ I work from home so in the evening I take leia my dog for a walk but try to take her in the morning when I have time for that as well. Fed everyday on a schedule and our routine is to end the night with a treat for her doing great. Fenced yard and access to inside easily to stay cool. I try my best to always be mindful of my pets needs and set them up for success when we’re gone for more than a few hours.
About: I have lived with and cared for dogs most of my life, all of different breeds, but I am now a sole dog parent to two amazing, working breed (retired) senior dogs. I have learned so much over the years about responsible and safe care for dogs across the spectrum of ages, breeds and size. I am a business owner and a full-time pet parent, I generally have most availability throughout the week and work on the weekends. My fur children take their regular walks in the early evening, so I'm generally most available during the day and during the weekdays. I care for pets based on the preferences expressed by the client. All foundational care with a pet will always be with care, safety and treats.
About: I have always had a passion for dogs since I was a young girl!! I have pet sit for neighbors, family and friends, and also worked for a doggy day care as a playroom attendant for a year! Your pup will mean everything and I mean EVERYTHING to me!! I have plenty of time to pop in and check on your pup! During the school year I am full time on weekdays, but still have plenty of time to put your pup first! I am not able to keep pups at my home, but at a clients home during pop ins I am able to take the pup out (on leash for a walk or free range in a backyard if able!), snuggle your pup for as long as needed, and of course feed!! For house sitting, I prefer to do as many check ins as needed, but cannot stay overnight unless absolutely necessary. Caring for your pup will always be my top priority :)
“We had a wonderful experience with Nicole! She cared for our dog for three days while we were away. From our initial meet and greet, she was kind, patient, and attentive to his needs. She followed our care instructions and was very respectful of our home. We also appreciated her thoughtfulness in securing a few things in our backyard during an unexpected windstorm. It was a small gesture that meant a lot! We look forward to welcoming her back.”
“Shainey was amazing! I could tell the boys loved her. We needed someone to hang with the boys overnight so we could get away and not worry. Shainey was punctual, friendly and you can see that she loves dogs. Sent photos and follow up messages. Will definitely be contacting her again!”
“Ashley was amazing, she made our two girls really comfortable and put us at ease while we were away. I am very thankful for finding her and that she took such great care of our girls, we will definitely be referring back to her any time we need to go out of town. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to have someone with care, patience and great vibes.”
“Erick was very good with our pets, communicative and friendly. On time and provided pictures when he could. Dogs enjoyed his company and we were worry free as we knew they were in good hands.”
About: I have had animals all my life and have volunteered at shelters as well which consisted of bathing, feeding, and walking dogs/cats! Friends and families come to me when they need a sitter because i am very good with animals and they can trust me! I’m currently working part time Monday-Friday and doing online schooling for my masters degree, but I’ll have plenty of time to devote to your loving animals! I will always follow instructions when it comes to your pets! I will give them all the love they need and make sure they’re fed and taken care of no matter what! I also volunteer at the San Diego humane society to hang out with the animals when I have free time!
About: I have taken care on many pets from family and friends. They all have relied on me to make sure their pets feel loved and safe and I have done the job perfectly I am currently working part-time and I have plenty of time to have fun and take care of your fur babies and make sure they feel loved I have a fenced yard that my little dogs aren’t able to sneak away. They are also trained to go to their room when needed. I am able to crate your dogs if needed
“Vicki was thorough in the process of getting to know my fur babies before she stayed with them, which I appreciated. She was patient with my anxious pup, too. She brought in several packages that were delivered during her stay! I would definitely have her stay with my babies again!”
“She kept updating us with our animals while we were gone, sent frequent photos, picked up after herself and most of all bonded with our animals. She even bonded with our antisocial and mean cat, which is amazing. We are planning on using her for future trips.”
About: Welcome to my profile! I have many years of experience caring for animals. I pet sit for a Pointer, and Golden Retriever last summer. I grew up taking care of two Cocker Spaniels, two Beagles, and I currently own one Siberian Husky! 🐶 I have previously cared for dogs, kittens, rabbits, fish, and chameleons, and family members' pets! I have multi-species knowledge from my time as a volunteer wildlife rehabilitator, and rescuer. I previously volunteered at WRARI in 2024, assisting with animal care.

About: I've been around dogs with different backgrounds my entire life and started taking care of them at the age of 10. I have experience with light grooming (Brushing fur) as well as brushing teeth. With cats I have experience feeding and playing I have many friends with cats that I visit often. I take care of the pups at home all the time. I feed them twice a day and make sure to brush and groom once a week. And I also enjoy taking them on walks to the dog park. At my house I allow the dogs to free roam as they are potty trained and use the backyard. I make sure to keep anything they could swallow out of reach.
“Aquisap is a terrific dog sitter! She showed up on time, communicated with me throughout her visit, and took amazing care of my dogs! I am so happy I found Aquisap to help me with my dogs. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing quality care for their dogs.”
“Megan is a gem! She took great care of our dog, Blu, and gave us peace of mind while we were away. She was a great communicator, kept our home clean, exactly as we left it, walked Blu every day, and sent us photos that always made us smile. We also appreciated that she took the time to do a meet-n-greet before our trip. Megan is kind, dependable, and genuinely caring. We feel so lucky to have found her and look forward to booking with her again!”
“This is the second time we have used Richard to sit with Duke. Duke can be very anxious when left with someone other than my wife and myself but with patients Richard was able to get him to calm down and finally relax. We highly recommend Richard and we plan to use him again.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - La Cresta
Maria is an angel! We have wanted to take a vacation, but always put it off because we could not find someone that we trust leaving our boys with. And then we found Maria… wow! She is hands down the best sitter we’ve ever had! To start off with, Maria always messages us the day before to confirm times. She then messages when she is leaving her house and when she arrives. She provides updates with pictures and videos on a daily basis. We’ve never had anyone be so dependable and trustworthy. She is so patient and loving to our boys. They absolutely adore her and can’t wait to see her. Our oldest kept searching the house for her because he missed her. When we returned from our week long trip, our home was in immaculate conduit, like we had never left. Overall, we’ve truly been blessed to have found Maria. She is amazing to our boys and to us. We cannot thank her enough and can’t wait to book her again!
We were looking for a more local sitter since we moved. We were very nervous to trust anyone new with our fur baby and home. We are so very happy to have Maria stay at our home with our baby girl. Our 5yr pup was very happy with Payo and so are we. I was stressed at first but quickly found that Payo is a good match for our family. Thank you so very much for taking care of Abby! 😊
Maria (Payo) did a wonderful job caring for our little senior boy, Dallas, for two nights in our home. She was friendly, kind, and communicated often with lots of photo updates. We came home to a happy pup and a tidy house. We truly appreciate her and highly recommend her. Thank you so much, Maria!
Sandra is an incredible pet sitter. She takes amazing care of our dogs, has excellent communication skills, and is very reliable. Our dogs are always so excited to see her and it is so nice to know they are in such great care when we are away. Highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs!

The average cost of House Sitting in La Cresta is $88 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $65 and $125 per night.

As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 La Cresta 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 La Cresta 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 La Cresta 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.

- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
