“Cardigen did an excellent job looking after our 2 dogs and our house while we were away for a week. She was very professional, detail oriented, and made sure the dogs got a lot of love and care. She sent us some pictures and kept us updated. We would definitely invite her back. Thank you!”
“Kristin exceeded every expectation—constant care, genuine engagement with my dog, a perfect routine, and a truly happy, very active dog. I found Kristin after a very thorough search, as it is absolutely essential to me that my dog is not left alone for more than a very short time. She not only respected that—she exceeded every expectation. A big part of my dog’s happiness is her walks, and Kristin took her on long, frequent walks every day. Just as important—if not more—is her feeding routine, which is central to her happiness. She has four main meals per day, plus a small supper and treats in between. I typically combine meals with training and play, and Kristin followed this routine exactly and with great care. Kristin truly engaged with my dog—playing with her both indoors and outdoors, grooming her, and even having her sleep in bed with her at night. She also sent me photos every day, which gave me complete peace of mind. She went above and beyond in ways I did not expect—she even bought my dog a new toy and a bag of treats, which says a lot about how much she genuinely cares. I returned to an exceptionally happy, relaxed, and well-cared-for dog. My dog is very perceptive, and it was immediately clear that she had formed a strong bond with Kristin—they were practically inseparable during the stay. On top of that, the house was left very clean and in perfect condition, with everything exactly as I left it. I would trust Kristin again without hesitation and highly recommend her.”
“Octavia was amazing! She was so loving and sweet with my big girl who was recovering from surgery. I had no worries leaving her and Im so happy to have met her. Octavia was great!”
“Roy was such a great sitter for our two (high energy) Australian Shepherds! He was very communicative and kept us informed with updates and photos. One of our dogs has some medical needs and I was confident he was in good hands with Roy. He also took great care of our house and honestly left it better than when we left. Would highly recommend!”
“Lauren takes great care of our Frenchie and our home. We feel very comfortable leaving him in her care and are able to enjoy our trips knowing he’s in capable and loving hands.”
“Natalie was wonderful with our dog, Goa. She was attentive, affectionate, and genuinely caring. She followed Goa’s routine exactly as planned and made sure she felt loved and comfortable the whole time. We felt completely at ease knowing Goa was in such good hands. Highly recommend!”
“Ashley was so great with our girls! Kind, attentive and very communicative with us while we were gone for a week and she stayed with them. We got frequent updates and photos of them, which we greatly appreciated. She is warm and friendly and very clearly cares about these pups. Look forward to booking her again!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a little kid as I have always lived with a dog in the household. My Chinese name actually means “dog little sister” because my childhood dog was a year older than me and we had such a close bond. I also went to Humane Society summer camp in high school. I am currently the owner of a crazy, high maintenance, and sneaky chihuahua mutt so I am very good at paying attention to the surroundings and making sure that harmful things are not in dog’s reach. I have babysit and dogsit for my neighbors before and the owners and parents were happy. I am very disciplined on taking my dog out for long walks everyday, and he is very sweet to other dogs too if your dog would like to play or walk with him. I am busy from from 10:55-1:40 on tuesdays and Thursdays and 2:00-4:45 on mondays and wednesdays (until December). Besides that I am free. My apartment doesn’t allow other dogs to stay overnight, but I can have them over during the day and evening time. My dog is very friendly and loves to play.
“Maria was a pleasure! I can't recommend her enough. She was kind, professional, very neat, personable, and very responsive. Lots of pictures! She has infectious smile and way about her that made Gigi instantly love her.”
“Emma stayed again with our two dogs while we were on an overseas journey. We felt so comfortable and were able to have a good trip because we knew the dogs were in good hands. Thanks again Emma!”
“Sophia is an incredible dog caretaker, sitter and house guest. She is attentive, proactive in communication and very clean. She is organized in her approach taking the most care with instructions including giving medicine. She looked after my large cane corso dog soon after surgery. I really appreciate her!”
“Randall was absolutely wonderful! Prompt, professional, and friendly. He took care of Percy, my dog, for two evenings. On the second evening, Percy was overjoyed to see Randall again. I was thrilled to know I was leaving Percy with someone I could trust. Randall was fantastic, and I'll definitely book again. Thank you again!!”
About: I have five years of hands-on experience caring for my own dog, whom I adopted at just 2 months old and raised into a happy, healthy pup who is now almost 5. Through this journey, I gained experience with puppy training, housebreaking, exercise, nutrition, and lots of love. Right now, my dog is living back in my home country with my parents, and I truly miss her every day. I signed up to care for pets because I love dogs deeply and want to share that same love and attention with others’ furry family members. I will care for your pets with the same dedication and affection that I give my own. As a full-time elementary school teacher, I have consistent availability during the week from 5:00pm to 9:00pm, making me well-suited for evening walks, feedings, and drop-in visits. On weekends, I have greater flexibility and can dedicate extended time to pet care, including longer walks, playtime, and overnight stays if needed. Safety and trust are always my top priorities. In a client’s home, I follow their established routines carefully—whether that’s feeding, walking or playtime to ensure dogs feel comfortable and secure in their familiar environment. I pay close attention to home safety, making sure doors, gates, and leashes are properly secured at all times. I also focus on building trust with each pet through patience, consistency, and gentle care, so they feel safe and loved while their family is away.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 8,178 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across La Honda. 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 La Honda 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 Honda 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 Honda 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.
