About: I’m a student looking to help out with some local pet care and housesitting while i’m home for the summer. I’m vegan, I live alone, and I genuinely love animals and have a lot of flexibility with my schedule so I'm more than happy to keep your pets company, stick to their regular routines, daily walks, and make sure everything is taken care of. I'll always send plenty of photo updates too so you know they're doing great. I've taken care of dogs and cats for neighboring families and friends for many years, so I'm super comfortable handling pets with various different personalities and needs. I’m home for the summer and my schedule is incredibly open and flexible right now. Since I don't work a job, I have plenty of free time during the week and on weekends to hang out with your pets, stick to their routines, and make sure they're taken care of as if they are my own. Safety is the main thing for me. I always double-check locks and gates, follow whatever feeding or walking instructions you leave, and keep a close eye on them. I've watched dogs and cats for family and friends for the past two years, so I know what kind of things can go wrong and how to keep everyone happy and safe.

“Dog Sitter Review: Exceptional Care and Attention! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I recently had the pleasure of using John for the second time, and once again, he exceeded all my expectations! This time, he took care of not just my resident dog but also my foster puppy, and I couldn't be more grateful for his dedication and compassion. It was clear that John has a genuine love for animals. He provided both dogs with plenty of attention, playtime, and care, ensuring they felt comfortable and happy during my absence. His ability to manage the needs of both my resident dog and a young, energetic puppy was impressive, and it gave me peace of mind knowing they were in such capable hands. What truly stood out this time was the extra effort he put into making my home feel welcoming upon my return. Not only did he take great care of my dogs, but he also went above and beyond by cleaning my apartment and even disposing of my trash! It’s those little touches that show how much he cares about his clients and their homes. I cannot recommend John enough! His professionalism, attentiveness, and kindness make him an outstanding choice for pet care. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pets like family and ensure your home is well taken care of, look no further. I will definitely be using his services again in the future! Thank you,John, for all that you do!”

About: We are an animal loving family. We love and have taken care of dogs, cats, hamsters, Guinea pigs, rats, reptiles, ferrets, birds, and more. From when I worked at a vet hospital at 14 to helping my daughter rehome the rats she bred during the pandemic, there is little I haven’t faced in animal care and husbandry. I can feed and care for any animal you want me to care for as long as you give me directions for their care. I work part time and spend the rest of my time making sure your animals get exercise and fun. Have been around all kinds of animals all of my life. I am happy to make visits or stay overnight in home as needed. I like being company for animals and keeping them comfortable when you are gone.

About: I'm a solo dad to three big dogs, two German Shepherds and a Pitbull/Shepherd mix, and dogs have been part of my life since I was 12 years old. All three are rescues and I raised each of them from puppyhood. Last year I said goodbye to my husky after 13 years together, and that kind of love doesn't go away. It just makes you want to give it to more dogs. I'm a Bay Area native who spent five years in Texas before moving back last summer. During that time I volunteered with Greater Houston German Shepherd Dog Rescue and served as a foster parent for GSDs waiting to find their forever homes. I've worked with dogs that came from neglect, shelters, and difficult situations and helped them feel safe and loved while they waited for the right family. That experience changed the way I see dogs and deepened everything I already knew about the breed. I prefer to come to your home rather than bring your dog to mine. Your dog stays in their own space, with their own smells, their own bed, their own routine. For a lot of dogs that makes all the difference, and for a lot of owners it's one less thing to worry about. I have a truck so getting around is never an issue. Parks, trails, wherever your dog loves to go, we'll get there. I've got a lot of experience with big breeds specifically. The energy, the space they need, crate training, the whole thing. I know how to handle a strong dog and I know how to make one feel safe. Whatever your dog needs, patient and slow or active and social, they're going to get real attention and genuine care. My schedule is pretty open right now, which means your dog gets real time and attention, not a quick check-in between other commitments. I’m available most days for walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays at your home. The main exception is two weekends a month when I travel for work, but outside of that I’m flexible and responsive. Morning and evening walks are my default routine. I know fenced in spots around the area where dogs can actually run and roam without running into other dogs, which is great for high energy breeds that need to really burn it off. After every outdoor outing I wash paws before heading back inside. My preference is always to come to you. Your dog stays in their own environment, sleeps in their own bed, and keeps their normal routine intact. For most dogs that alone makes a noticeable difference in how comfortable and settled they feel while you're away. Once we've had a chance to meet and your dog is comfortable with me, boarding at my place is also an option. I have three dogs of my own so I'm thoughtful about who comes into that space, but for the right dog it can work really well. I'm comfortable with medication administration, crate training, grooming, and bathing. I have a truck for vet runs or anywhere else your dog needs to go, and I'm physically capable of handling and lifting large dogs up to 120 lbs, which matters more than people think when you have a big breed.

“Exceptional Caregiver & True Animal Lover! We feel incredibly fortunate to have had Kirstin care for our beloved cat at our home for 45 days. Her kindness, proactive approach, and dedication to our pet's well-being exceeded our expectations in every way. Throughout her stay, Kirstin maintained excellent communication, keeping us informed about our cat's daily activities, appetite, and any concerns she had. Her prompt notification and willingness to take action in case of emergencies gave us immense peace of mind while we were away. We were impressed by her respect for our home and adherence to our rules. Upon our return, we found our home tidy and clean – a lovely surprise! But what truly sets Kirstin apart is her genuine affection for animals. Our cat adored her, showering her with cuddles, purrs, and even the occasional 'biscuit-making' sessions – a testament to the special bond they formed. Her selflessness and compassion shone through in many ways, including a few thoughtful overnight stays to monitor our cat's health and her kind offer to care for our pet on the night of our return, when we were struggling with jet lag. To top it all off, Kirstin surprised our cat with a delightful parting gift, which has become his new favorite toy! We wholeheartedly endorse Kirstin as a trustworthy, compassionate, and exceptional house sitter. We would be delighted to have her care for our pet again and highly recommend her to anyone seeking a reliable and animal-loving sitter.”

FAQs for Pet Sitting - La Honda

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 11,852 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across La Honda. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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 .

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in La Honda. On Rover:

  • 83% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 87% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 92% can help with daily exercise

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.

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.
