“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!”
“Rachel was very nice to take my booking at the last minute. She did a great job watching Claire and responding to me. My dog is not the easiest to look after. She let me know when my dog got temporarily sick from breaking into her treat bag. She cleaned up everything before I got home.”
“Just lovely. Dogs were relaxed and very happy when we returned, and the house was perfect. Deb is kind and very patient, even with our “problem child”. Highly recommend!!”
“Abbie took great care of our three dogs! She gave them lots of snuggles and would always send updates on how they were doing. She also kept the house very clean and was very courteous. Highly recommend!”
“Abby was absolutely amazing! My dog loved her instantly and she was so attentive to his individual needs and anxiety. I was anxious to try out new dog sitters as I just moved to the area but she was always keeping me in the loop and was extra loving to my fur buddy. Will use again!”
“Linda is very responsible and kind to dogs. She tries hard to make an anxious dog comfortable and succeeded with mine. She tries to figure the pets out as to likes and quirks. I was especially thankful that Linda was home with my dog at the times he normally feels the most anxious. I highly recommend Linda.”
“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!!!”
“Bryce was really reliable and great with communication! He established an early connection with Ziggy and got along well and Ziggy was in great shape when I came home! Overall, he was an awesome dogsitter ?”
“Highly recommend Kodi! She was able to accommodate my two bostons, one of which was recovering from a back injury and required special care and medications. She kept me updated and sent pictures throughout the weekend I was gone which was such a relief. I would definitely use Kodi again.”

I have a full time job. Currently off evenings and weekends. Can wake up early enough to provide morning care and after work and evening activities and care! I am open and flexible to any special care instructions. I focus on the health, wellbeing, and happiness of any animal under my care. You tell me what your pet needs and I will provide!
About: As a dedicated pet care professional with over five years of experience, I offer personalized, compassionate care tailored to each pet’s unique needs, ensuring their happiness and well-being. I’m currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to play with your pets! I have availability on week days, week nights and weekends. When caring for your pets I respectively maintain a clean environment, clear communication and provide proper supervision by following routine and providing your pets with trusted companionship.
“He maintained good communication with us while we were away. Was nice enough to bring in our mail and take our trash bins out without us asking. Went above and beyond to make sure our dogs were taken care of.”
“Candy took great care of Selene while I was out of town. She sent daily pictures of activities and constantly updated me with how Selene was doing while I was away. Would recommend to anyone looking for a dog sitter!”
About: I have many years of experience walking dogs and caring for dogs. I have cared for senior pets, including giving medication and using items such as diapers. I have also cared for animals such as reptiles. I am a full time teacher, so early mornings and afternoons into evenings are my most free times to hang out with furry friends. Summers and holidays are mostly free! I am familiar with crating animals and using gates within homes. I am comfortable taking dogs out with leashes. I am able to keep pets separated if need be.
“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.”
About: I grew up with dogs, so caring for pups has always been a natural part of my life. I’m lucky to live near several parks—including a dog park—so pups will get plenty of opportunities for exercise and fresh air. My schedule also allows me to stop by during lunch breaks, which helps keep pets on their normal routine. Walking is also one of my favorite pastimes so your pet can expect lots of those :) I currently have a couple of cats of my own who are comfortable around other animals for overnight stays. I know how much I miss my kitties when I’m out, so you can expect pictures and updates throughout the days. I aim to provide dependable, attentive care just like I’d hope for my own. Am no stranger to medical needs as well and am comfortable providing medicines as needed Weekends I am completely available to stop by in your home or I offer overnight stays at my home. I have a roommate whose schedule is available during the day so overnight stays can be offered during the week as well. I work a typical 9-5 throughout the week but am available before, during lunch or afterwards in the evenings during the week for stop ins depending on location I have a large backyard and localized access to multiple dog parks and trails. I own two kitties myself that are comfortable around both dogs and cats.
About: I’ve been house and dog sitting since I was 12 years old, so caring for animals is second nature to me. Growing up, I’ve had my own dog (and she is a diva) and three birds, so I’m super comfortable managing different animal personalities, daily routines, and dietary needs. I have also had 2 cats that I have shared with roommates! The biggest thing that sets me apart is my schedule. Because I study from home, I have a very minimal, flexible weekly routine. That means I would not just dropping by for a quick check-in, I can actually hang out at your house for long stretches or stay the entire day without having to leave. If your pet gets lonely, has separation anxiety, or just loves having a human around 24/7 to cuddle and keep them company, I’m your person! I am able to stay at your house however much you need me there from Thursday nights-Monday nights Sundays: completely available for 24/7 care Mondays: completely available for 24/7 care Tuesdays: available to check on animals before 8am and after 4pm Wednesdays: available to check on animals before 8am and after 4pm Thursdays: available to check on animals before 8am and after 7pm Fridays: completely available for 24/7 care Saturdays: completely available for 24/7 care I will request you give me guidelines of what times you animal eats, much much the animal eats, and how often they tend to go outside/to the litter box. My goal is to keep your pet’s routine as regular as possible so your pet is happy, healthy, and ready for you to come home ☺️
About: I’ve taken care of all types of animals all my life. Grew up on a farm locally and cared for every animal you can imagine. I’m a recently retired educator with a huge heart. I have a safe and clean home and a fenced in back yard! I presently have 1 dog named Chase who is a 3 year old, well mannered and well trained Pomeranian.Ive had both dogs and cats in past 25 plus years. I will care for your furry family member as if they are my own. Since I am retired I have flexibility with my schedule. I am able to schedule care during the work week to include drop ins, walks and even over night and long term care. I have a large fully fenced back yard. I even have an added puppy fence layer to ensure even the smallest pups are safe and secure. My neighborhood is excellent for dog walking as well.

Brandon is amazing!! He took care of our two cats and two dogs for a week while we were at our destination wedding. He sent me pictures everyday and gave me updates on how they were doing. He took great care of the house and made being away stress free. My babies love him and we will def be using him again!!! Highly, highly recommend!
Mackenzie always takes great care of our dog Daisy while we are gone and we come home to a calm, relaxed and happy dog. She keeps us updated throughout our trip which gives us peace of mind. Everything is clean and tidy in the house when we return so all we have to do is unpack and relax. We highly recommend Mackenzie and we will definitely book her again when we travel!
Marie was very responsive, sent photos and agreed to stay another night when I couldn’t make it home as planned. I ultimately came home to two happy and healthy dogs and a clean house. It is always so hard to leave the dogs but Marie’s care made it easier and was much appreciated. Thank you again!!
Rylee watched our dog at our house for a long weekend. Everything went smoothly, and Rylee followed all of our directions. He apparently had a great time because sometimes he's needy on our return but he was calm and chill after his initial excitement. Highly recommend Rylee!

The average cost of House Sitting in La Vista is $39 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $56 per night.

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 , 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.
