“I cannot say enough good things about Sandra. My family and I recently traveled out of the country for 2 weeks and were very nervous to leave our three dogs, one of which is elderly and requires 24/7 attention and care. Sandra went ABOVE and BEYOND to put our anxieties to rest, including daily pictures and updates of our happy pups while we were gone. Her veterinary expertise was outstanding with our elderly girl, administering daily meds and insulin injections. We are so grateful for all of her assistance and will absolutely be booking with her in the future!”
“Marissa did an amazing job! We adopted a puppy w/ severe trauma background who is afraid of everyone, who’d never been left alone w/ anyone before. He’s never let anyone near him before. Marisa’s patience and skill w dogs with a traumatic past enabled her to break through his fears and by the end of the day my sweet dog was cuddling with her! It was truly amazing. I highly recommend Marissa.”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 Stars! We have only left our girl, Stella, with someone outside of our family a handful of times in her 12 years, so finding someone we could truly trust was incredibly important. Laura was absolutely amazing! She kept us updated throughout Stella's stay, which gave us so much peace of mind, and it was clear that Stella was well cared for and loved. Laura went above and beyond, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. We are so grateful for the exceptional care she provided and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and reliable to watch their pet. Thank you, Laura!”
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 :)
About: What sets me apart is that I have experience caring for dogs at different life stages and with different energy levels. I currently have two Siberian Huskies, ages 9 and 7, so I understand the patience, consistency, exercise, and attention that dogs need throughout their lives. I also have experience with puppies, including helping with routines, play, basic training, positive reinforcement, and keeping them mentally and physically stimulated. At the same time, caring for my older dogs has given me experience with senior dogs and understanding that they may need a slower pace, extra patience, and more individualized care. I’m very active and love taking dogs on walks, hikes, and trips to the dog park or beach when appropriate. I believe dogs thrive when they receive not only love and attention, but also exercise, enrichment, and companionship. Most importantly, I treat every dog as an individual. I take the time to learn their personality, routine, comfort level, and needs, and I’m always willing to learn and follow their owner’s instructions to make sure they feel safe and happy while in my care. 🐾❤️ About Me 🐾 I’ve had a passion for dogs since I was a little girl, and caring for them has always been something I genuinely love. I have two Siberian Huskies of my own, ages 9 and 7, so I understand that every dog has their own personality, energy level, routine, and needs. I’ve been dog sitting for about two years and truly enjoy spending time with all kinds of dogs. I don’t have a breed preference—I’m happy to care for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities! I’m available mornings and evenings, and I love keeping dogs active and engaged. Whether it’s going for a walk, playing at the dog park, hiking, or simply giving them attention and companionship, I believe dogs deserve plenty of enrichment and time outside rather than being home alone all day. Having high-energy Huskies has also taught me a lot about patience, exercise, play, and keeping dogs mentally and physically stimulated. I’m always willing to learn more and make sure every dog in my care feels safe, comfortable, loved, and happy. I’d love the opportunity to meet your pup and give them the same care and attention I give my own! 🐶❤️ I care for every pet as if they were my own. Before each stay or visit, I like to learn about their routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs, medications if applicable, and any special instructions from their owner. In my client’s home, I make sure to keep their normal routine as consistent as possible. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and exercise based on their energy level and comfort. I’m also respectful of their home and make sure everything is kept clean and secure. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, comfortable environment with plenty of supervision, attention, and opportunities for play and exercise. Having two Huskies of my own, ages 9 and 7, I’m comfortable with both high-energy dogs and dogs who may prefer a slower pace. My goal is for every pet to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for while their owner is away. 🐾❤️
“It is special to be able to leave Flint and have him taken care of so well. Thank you for the special gift and treats. Flint loves the treats and is playing with the ball not! Thank yoi”
“Amanda is amazing! This was the first time she watched our 2 dogs and cat and she made us feel very comfortable and confident that our pets would be safe and happy while we were gone. When we got home we could immediately tell that our pets were super happy and had been loved. She sent cute photos with all of them snuggled up on our couch....which we loved. Thanks Amanda! We are looking forward to having you watch our pets in the future.”
“Andrea was fabulous! She took great care of our two large dogs while we were out of town and had great communication the entire time. We would definitely recommend her services!”

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.
“Absolutely wonderful, took such great care of Lila and she followed up with texts and pics that always help ease the slight anxiety that we "furry family members" have as we travel..well no need, Savannah is amazing..House looked great when I returned and she even remembered to water the plants that I completely forgot about!! Thank you again Savannah and Sarah too!! I have found my permanent house/pet sitter!!”
“Maria was wonderful with our two boys! Right away we could tell they would be comfortable with her and we were right. We were hesitate to leave our dogs and go out of town but Maria was great with giving us updates on how they were doing along with sending us pictures. She treated them as if they were her own. She is very loving and gave them both tons of attention. I am so happy with everything she did while taking care of our babies, Maria is amazing!”
About: I love dogs. I live an active lifestyle and love going for runs in the Hollywood hills up away from cars, however when it comes to my clients pups, I always follow instructions for what they prefer. I have experience with all sorts of pups and would love to have your pup in the pack. While we are at my place, I go outside every hour / two for pee breaks. Usually in the morning I will go to the hills or the park before it gets too hot, or in the evening. I have experience watching all sorts of dogs with a variety of personalities. I love having fun and making sure that the pups have a good time too. I know how lame it is to be stuck in one place all the time so we try to move as much as possible.
“Katherine was fantastic, once again! She has taken wonderful care of our home, a very high maintenance dog, and two cats (one still a hyper kitten!) several times now. I recommend Katherine without reservation. She is responsible, reliable, neat, patient, and kind. Plus, she always takes GREAT photos of our pets ...”

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!

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.
<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 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 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 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 Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
