“Kristine was so wonderful when we had family in town. She was very flexible on timing and showed up exactly when she said she would. Kristine was so kind and helpful to our pups who had to get fed at dinner time. Would absolutely recommend and can’t wait to book her again!”

“Kelsey took such good care of my cat Rhys and I am grateful for that and for the updates and photos she sent my way! Highly recommend Kelsey for pet sitting! And I already have her booked for my next trip! Thank you Kelsey!”


About: I’ve always grown up in a family with lots of pets, so I really miss having that connection with animals. That’s why I’d love to have the opportunity to spend time with dogs here in California. Back in Italy, I regularly took care of medium-sized dogs, mostly taking them for walks, playing with them, and organizing playdates. I genuinely enjoy being around dogs and would love to give them the same care and attention I’ve always given to my own pets. 🐶❤️ I’m currently work during the afternoon, so I’m free in the mornings, usually until 2:30 pm. Also after dinner around 6:30pm and nights. During the weekends I’m always free . I care for your pets by following their daily routines. At my home, I provide a safe, cage-free, and welcoming environment; at your home, I offer visits or sitting focused on feeding, walks, hygiene, and play. You will receive daily photo updates for complete peace of mind.
“Cordigen D always is super flexible and is able to come at specific times to make sure my cat is in the house. She’s kind and my cat clearly loves her. I always get her when I travel. She’s the best.”

About: I’m a student looking to help out with some local pet care and housesitting while I'm Stanford student for pet care! home for the summer. I’m vegan, I live alone, and I genuinely love animals and have a lot of flexibility with my schedule right now, so I'm around 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 family and friends over the last couple of years, so I'm super comfortable handling feedings, walks, and overnight stays! I’m home for the summer and my schedule is incredibly open and flexible right now. Since I don't work a typical 9-to-5, 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. 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 how to keep everything clean and safe.

“Vanessa took great care of our shy 16 year old cat while we were out of town for a few days, including making sure she got her medicine at breakfast and dinner. We were able to fully enjoy our trip, knowing that Gadget was being well taken care of. We highly recommend Vanessa and will definitely hire her to look after Gadget again in the future.”
“Julie Mae is such a comfort and diligent sitter. She truly goes above and beyond with your fur baby. She understands how much they mean to you and has a keen sense of what pet your needs as well. Dexter loves her company so very much. Her communication is excellent with thorough updates and pics. You know your buddy is in caring hands. Thank you for always making Dexter and I feel taken care of, Julie Mae.”

“Chelsea is AMAZING! She is so great with our cats—they love her and always come out to greet her despite being very shy. She also accommodated us over a holiday weekend last minute which we will forever be grateful for. She is very communicative, attentive, and considerate. Could not recommend more!”

“I couldn’t recommend Esmeralda more. She is excellent. She was able to accommodate my request last minute. She was able to befriend my very skittish cat. She was extremely reliable, flexible with my schedule and responsive.”

About: I love dogs, but can't have any of my own. I took 5 years of dog care and training classes at the 4-H club and have cared for and groomed them at every opportunity since then. I am mostly available to do dog walking and feed your pet, but I would consider overnight stays if I am needed. I can't wait to hear from you! Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I structure my days with regular walking, feeding, and check-in windows, and I’m used to building my schedule around animals’ needs rather than squeezing them in. Because I already care for my own dog and take on Rover bookings, things like timely walks, consistent routines, play, and attention are part of my normal day, not an interruption. I’m reliable with schedules and flexible enough to adjust when a pet needs a little extra time or care. I care for pets by following their usual routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and secure. Most of my bookings are drop-in visits and walks rather than overnights. During visits, I handle feeding, fresh water, walks or litter care, playtime, and light grooming as needed—making sure pets get real attention, not just a quick check-in. I’m respectful of your home and attentive to your pet’s individual needs, and I always aim to make visits feel calm, familiar, and comforting. I share thoughtful updates so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.
“I'm so glad we found Fabiola, she was a wonderful caretaker to our rabbits. She came over before our trip to make sure she understood what was necessary and was communicative throughout. She was very thorough, leaving their space very clean. She was also kind and we will definitely book her again!”

“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!”


“Evan was great! He took great care of our 3 fur babies. I felt totally at ease and knew that I could trust him to be there for my dogs when they needed to be cared for. He has been easy to communicate with and reliable!”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life, and I’ve always loved the feeling of having a furry best friend to hang out and play with. Pets have a special way of bringing joy, and I love being around them. When I’m caring for your pet, I treat them like they’re my own — with lots of love, attention, and care. Whether it’s making sure they feel safe and comfortable or giving them some extra snuggles, I’m all about keeping them happy while you’re away. I have experience with all kinds of pets, from playful puppies who need structure and fun, to sweet senior dogs who need a little more patience and TLC. I’m totally comfortable with giving medication, sticking to feeding routines, and making sure they get the right amount of exercise. I also respect your space and always aim to leave your home clean and tidy, so you come back to a happy pet and a neat home. And of course, I’ll keep you updated with plenty of messages and cute photos so you never feel too far away from your pet! I am currently working part time, so I have part of the mornings and afternoons free. I love morning and evening walks. And cuddling with them in bed at night! I care for pets by following their usual routines to help them feel safe and comfortable. Whether in my home or the client’s, I provide plenty of love, attention, playtime, and regular walks. I also make sure they have fresh food and water, a clean space, and any needed medications—always treating them like part of the family.

“Taryn was awesome! We were traveling to Pescadero for the day, with my daughter, son in-law and grandpuppies, but didn't want to leave them in the car while we had lunch and walked the town. Taryn met us at the restaurant and took the dogs to a nearby play area. She was on time, professional, and so caring with the pups. There human mommy was nervous to leave them, but felt comfortable with Taryn. We had a relaxing lunch, and the pooches came back happy and tired! Thanks Taryn for your professionalism, it added so much to our special day.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 11,845 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across La Honda. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a La Honda stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in La Honda. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 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.
