“Ben did a great job with my cat Ninja. Ninja can be a bit difficult at times but, from the pics, it looks like they got along fine. I will definitely ask Ben to cat/house-sit in the future. Thanks Ben!”
“We had such a wonderful experience with Laura watching our dog, Karma! We were gone for a week for our destination wedding and we were able to fully enjoy our time knowing she was well taken care of and in good hands! Laura was very diligent about taking lots of notes over all of Karma’s routines and needs when we initially met with her and kept us updated on her each day that we were gone!”
“Paloma was an outstanding dog sitter. She was extremely dependable and responsible, treated our home with respect, and truly fell in love with our two large dogs. Her communication was excellent, and it was clear she cared for our dogs as if they were her own. When we returned, our home was left neat and tidy. We would absolutely use Paloma’s services again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter.”
“Kristi did an amazing job watching my three dogs! She was able to win over our nervous Nobu and they became best friends. She communicated throughout the day to provide pup-dates and shared pictures with progress. Will book for future!”
“We had MacKenzie get our mail for us and water our house plants while we were away over the holidays. It was a huge help and a relief to know someone was checking on our home!”
“I was super nervous having someone new stay with Zorro, because it’s been a long time. Due to a new nephew who wanted to make an early entrance to the world, I had to find someone on short notice. Linda has been amazing! We were able to do a meet and greet right away. She has been so patient and flexible, even adding an extra day so I could stay to help family. She took great care of Zorro and kept me updated. I am very grateful and would definitely recommend her to take care of your fur babies!”
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.
“Vanessa did an amazing job with Lilo and Stitch. I could tell by the photos she sent they were very comfortable and happy to be around her. I will definitely book with her again!!!”
“Theresa did a great job with our puppies. She was on time and on track with one of the puppy's daily meds and sent pictures of the puppies all snuggled in. We will definitely call her back to sit with our puppies in the future. Thanks.”
About: I am a lover of all living things. I prefer to scoop up bugs and spiders instead of smooshing them. I have great empathy towards dogs and cats. Us hoomans don’t deserve them. I’m ready to spoil yours! I do work in a busy doctors office Monday thru Friday 9-5, however I am available evenings, nights and weekends and excited to care for your furbabies. I lease a townhome in a townhome community. I do not have a fenced yard but have a yard and a great neighborhood to take them out for their potty breaks and a great walk.
“Sue is the perfect dog sitter. She brings her own food and drink. Stays all day and night. Cleans up and takes her garbage out. Sends lots of pictures and videos and is great with our dog Thor. You can tell she really loves what she does. I think Thor misses her after she left! If she is available book her. You won't regret it.”
About: I've taken care of a dog and cat at home for the past 10 years, I've helped raise my brother's kitten, and cared for my sister's cat with medical needs. Additionally, I grew up around rabbits and more through my father's hobbies. This summer, I am taking online classes, part-time, leaving me with a completely open schedule - This means I'm able to sit, stay over, or pop by whenever! I'm unable to care for pets in my apartment due to my complex's rules, but I'm available to stop by or stay over with your pet!
About: I grew up having lots of pets, and know the joy they bring to your home. Over the years my friends and family have trusted me to care for their pets and their homes while they are away. I have taken care of goldendoodles, pitbulls, bulldogs, beagles, and pugs. I would love to help you care for your pets or home in any way you need! I currently have a flexible schedule and am free nearly every afternoon and evening. My weekends are fairly free as well. I am happy to do extended stays as well. I follow all directions and wishes of my clients. I can honor designated feeding times and medications if necessary, including insulin injections. I will respect other belongings in the home and leave things as I found them.
About: I have experience in training and animals handling. I have been called an animal whisperer. I am open to all pets even aggressive ones. I have experience in exotic pets as well. I am in college and I take care of animals in between my classes. This will not take away from my time spent with your animals and I will be fully focused on your pet while I am there. I have a large amount of experience with animal behavior. I can confidently and comfortably care for all types of animals regardless of temperament or aggression level. Your pet will always be safe with me.
“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!”
“Skylar did an amazing job with Wrigley. It was so nice to come home to a happy dog that got to stay in his comfort zone while we were away. Skylar left the house spotless and was a great houseguest! Would highly recommend!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - La Vista
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 $38.57 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 635 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.
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.
