“Cordigen has looked after our two dogs 5 times this month, with the most recent visit being an all day plus evening care. She has proven to be the caregiver we hoped for. She is loving to the dogs, responsible, responsive and sends us updates during and after her visits. It is such a privilege to have a caregiver we trust, so we can focus on and enjoy activities away from our pets. We have appreciated her flexibility when our schedules have been in flux, as well as covering a last minute need. We plan to continue to request her services for all our pet caregiving needs.”
“Darya was amazing! She sent me multiple daily updates with photos. The animals loved her right away which was very reassuring and she left my house very clean and even stripped the sheets! I will be using her again.”
“Dawn took wonderful care of our dog and home. She connected with our pup and understood him well. He definitely bonded with her. She shared lots of photos, videos, and stories, and it was clear our dog was happy. We highly recommend Dawn and hope to have her dog sit again soon!”
“Chelsea is awesome. Excellent communicator, so caring, and really genuinely gives her all to animals. She sends lots of cute pictures and updates, is conscientious of my apartment, and gives my flame point Siamese so many snuggles. He's obsessed with her. So glad to have found her.”
“Mia took excellent care of my German shepherd for a week ! Mia is professional, responsive, sends updates and even taught Lolo a trick ! She left my home clean and orderly. She is the top of my list choice for lolo when I leave town next time !”
“This is the first time I’ve had my dogs house sat by a Rover professional. Deborah came to my house prior to the date and met my dogs. They all got along well. I have Dobermans and a lot of people are apprehensive about the breed but Deborah has no issues. She kept me up to date on how things were going and even left me a treat!! Thanks!!!”
“Dana was an amazing house/dog/cat sitter and I couldn't recommend her more highly. She had to deal with our very high energy puppy, anxious small dog and elusive cat and she did a wonderful job with all three. It was also such a relief to come home to a house that was even cleaner than we left it!”
“Hailey was great with my very high maintenance very high energy pup Oliver. She was great at providing updates and communicating any changes/concerns during her stay. I highly recommend her :)”
“Emma looked after our house and, more particularly, our senior dog while we were away for two weeks. Emma provided regular updates and photos of our dog, which was great as it was the first time we had left her. Our dog was obviously very happy with Emma and seems quite disappointed to have been left behind with us. LOL. Emma left the house in perfect shape too.”
“Hope pet sat our three dogs and two cats while we were away for 2 weeks. She was very communicative, sent lots of updates and pictures, and we felt very comfortable with her house sitting. All the pets loved her too!”
“Lauren took very good care of Casper and gave him company the whole time I was away. She also accommodated my last minute requests and was very flexible. Thank you so much for that ?”
About: I don’t have problem taking caredogs. My friends and family used to relied on me to check in with, feed and play with their pets. I’m currently working part-time and it’s manageable, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups I’m available boarding especially weekdays 7am onwards. My place is a free space for one dog at time especially to trained dog I dont do much restriction so dog can move and play around, I live close to lake in foster city and its so easy access to walk the dog any time in a day.
“Randall was absolutely wonderful! Prompt, professional, and friendly. He took care of Percy, my dog, for two evenings. On the second evening, Percy was overjoyed to see Randall again. I was thrilled to know I was leaving Percy with someone I could trust. Randall was fantastic, and I'll definitely book again. Thank you again!!”
“Devin went above and beyond, providing exceptional care for my fur babies while I was away. Their attention to detail and communication skills were top-notch. My cats were happy and well-cared for when I returned home. I will definitely be using their services again in the future.”
“John took excellent care of Lucy and the house while house sitting. Sent lots of updates and pictures so I felt I knew exactly how everything was going while I was away. Would absolutely love to have John take care of Lucy the next time we need to go out of town.”
“Juliet was great! Very communicative, shared photos, and made sure my dog was not only taken care of, but had fun and played while I was away. Highly recommend and would book with her again!”
“Maria was great with Cooper! She is very reliable and excellent at communicating & sharing updates after every interaction. We always get nervous when traveling, but she quickly put us at ease. We’ll definitely book her again. 🐾”
“Davina was wonderful. We felt completely comfortable leaving our senior Lab in her care. It was clear from the start that she genuinely loves animals, and our dog received plenty of attention, affection, and excellent care while we were away. Knowing he was in such good hands allowed us to relax and enjoy our trip. She was also a trustworthy house sitter—reliable, respectful of our home, and easy to communicate with throughout our trip. We appreciated her updates and knowing everything was going smoothly. We would absolutely recommend Davina to anyone looking for a caring and dependable pet sitter, and we wouldn't hesitate to have her stay with our dog again.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Lobitos
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 8,202 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Lobitos. 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 Lobitos 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 Lobitos 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 Lobitos 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.
