About: Hi, I'm Greg. I am a lifelong dog lover with extensive experience handling dogs of all shapes and sizes. From high-energy Huskies and Golden Retrievers to spirited Boston Terriers and patient giant breeds, I understand that every dog has unique physical and emotional needs.In 2024, I said goodbye to my beloved Newfoundland, Baloo. He left a massive hole in my heart, and caring for your four-legged family members is my favorite way to keep his loving spirit alive. I treat every guest with the same deep devotion, patience, and exceptional care that I gave m I am retired and have flexibility to manage 24/7 house sitting, extended day care, long adventures or a drop in for walks. I'm perfect for high-energy pups needing a lunch-break burnout walk or puppies requiring a mid-day potty relief. I follow your exact feeding, medication, and crating schedules to minimize your dog's anxiety. Your home security is important to me. I keep doors locked, bring in mail, turn on lights, and maintain a lived-in look for your safety. My Cleanliness Guarantee is that I will leave your home exactly as I found it (maybe cleaner), keeping paws wiped and messes completely cleaned. You will receive Real-Time Updates if requested. You will receive photo, video, and text updates during every single visit or overnight stay. I bring my own food and necessities, respecting your privacy and personal boundaries completely.
“Vanessa did a great job taking care of our beloved pets! She was a good communicator while we were away, sending pictures and updates each day. We will definitely have Vanessa pet sit for us again!”
About: I I have experience pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbors, caring for dogs and cats of different breeds and temperaments. My responsibilities have included daily walks, feeding, cleaning litter boxes, giving medications, and providing companionship. I understand how important routine and reassurance are when owners are away. I currently work from home. So my schedule is pretty flexible! Plenty of times to go on walks and playtime! With advanced notice I am very accommodating to meet your needs. I provide loving, reliable care whether pets stay in my home or I care for them in theirs. My top priorities are safety, trust, and maintaining a calm, comfortable environment. I always follow each pet’s routine closely — including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and any special instructions — to help them feel secure and stress-free.
“Brayden did such a great job with my two dogs! They can be very high energy at times but they were so calm and good with him. He sent me pictures and updates throughout the entire overnight visit. I will definitely be booking with him again!”
“We recently have started using Rover to assist with dog sitting while we are out of town. I chose Theresa because she has a background of taking care of senior dogs, special needs, and medication administration. She was great with daily updates/feedback. We had been out of town for 3 weeks, she assisted with part of that time. While my dog was in her care she noticed an unusual cough. I was able to set up a veterinarian appointment for the next day. She was happy to take my dog to the vet's office. And called me during the appointment to talk with the veterinarian. Unfortunately, it was not the best news but she was able to administer the new medication, so my dog could be on his way to better health. I appreciate her noticing the issue, and taking care of it. I will definitely be using her again.”
“Sue on short notice took our booking and jumped right into meeting our pups. Even with directions provided, Sue asked plenty of questions to ensure our pups had everything they needed. Sue did a house stay considering the new pup we added to the family, and Sue provided all the love and attention while sending updates via photo and video! Thanks for the genuine care you provided!”
“Dara was awesome doing our home visit for our 3 dogs! She was on time and great with communicating as well. We were very happy with her service and felt confident that our pups were in such good care with her!”
About: Hello! I have had dogs and cared for many a majority of my life. I have two long haired chihuahuas now who are 10 and 11 years old. I am home full time to board or provide doggy day care to your fur babies. I am pretty flexible if you would like to first schedule a meet and greet. I have a fenced backyard which your dogs can play in when they are here. I have an 18 year old son who loves dogs, he also helps when it comes to giving rhe best to any fur baby that stays with us. We love others pets like they are our own. If the weather is not bad, we love to take walks. Our two long haired chihuahuas are friendly, they just tend to bark a lot at first when meeting new friends! I am currently available full time to board your pups! I am hoping for ongoing long term set schedules but am also very flexible. If your fur baby is staying here, I will be home the whole time with them. I have a fenced backyard where dogs can play. They will get lots of cuddles if they are cuddlers! We are home full time so they will get lots of attention during their stay!
About: I love animals and now that I live in an apartment, I miss having a pet! There are plenty of dogs roaming around the building, and I say hi to every one of them. I would love to hang out with your cat or dog! I’m a 39 year old mom and preschool teacher, so caring for littles comes natural to me. I have plenty of experience both in pet sitting and in life! If this tells you anything, when I’m at a party, you can find me with the pets. Pick me to check on your fur babies! I am a stay at home parent with an in-home preschool. The preschool is open Tuesday-Friday mornings, and my kid has childcare Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday, so those afternoons are free for me. Pets tend to love me and I’m patient with those animals that are shy. I am very excited to hang out with some cats and dogs in my free time!

Paloma was wonderful with my two dogs! She kept me updated and sent pictures. She asked questions if I forgot to go over something and she took special care of my dog when she needed to go to the vet while I was gone. Overall-so thankful for all her work and time with my two dogs!
This will be our last time with Megan -as she is moving away. She has been the best dog sitter for now 15 year old chihuahua over the last few years. As boy’s medical needs became more complicated, Megan took him on and did a fabulous job. We were so lucky to have her take care of King.
Kelsey was AMAZING. Would 10/10 recommend and rebook. She was amazing with my mini dachshund who is a very needy boy. He usually doesn’t do well with strangers but Ace was immediately comfortable with her. She kept my place very tidy, watered my plants, and kept me updated with daily pictures and super sweet messages. She truly goes above and beyond to provide care and eased my concerns of leaving my dog alone for the first time. Looking forward to rebooking with Kelsey!
Mackenzie took great care of our dog Daisy while we were out of town. She kept us informed through messages and photos so we knew what was happening at home and it helped us relax and enjoy our time away. 😊 Daisy approved of her immediately upon meeting Mackenzie (the flop for belly scratches was the cue) and it was a great experience all around. The house was well taken care of as well - everything was clean and organized upon our return which was very kind! We will definitely book with Mackenzie again!!
Robert provided in-home sitting services for our 2 special needs rescue Wheatens. Our dogs require extreme patience, kindness and even some heavy lifting. One dog is not yet adjusted to her new life and is afraid of most everyone and everything. Robert was able to work with her and even get her to warm up to him so much more than we would have ever expected. The other dog is a ball of energy that needs to be watched closely. Robert handled both of these handfuls marvelously. This is the first time using Rover and doing in home sitting services and from day one of our trip it was clear Robert was up to the task making our worries, concerns and anxiety about leaving “the girls” unfounded and helped us be comfortable and relaxed about being gone.
Marie was absolutely amazing! First time taking a pet sitter and she put me completely at ease. Sent me pics and kept me updated! Loved on my pups just as I would! I can’t say enough great things about her. I very highly recommend her!! I will definitely be using her again!

FAQs for House Sitting - La Vista
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in La Vista on Rover is $38.71 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 628 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across La Vista. 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 Vista 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 Vista 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 Vista 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 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.

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.
