“We had Esmeralda visit and feed our two older cats while we were away, coming once a day. This was our first time with Esmeralda and we are happy with the results. She asked good questions during the meet and greet, and she left our home neat and tidy. I left pretty detailed instructions on feeding and garbage disposal and she followed them well. Our cats are very shy, so she did not have a lot of interaction with them. It looks like one of the cats let Esmeralda get near him towards the end of her visits. The one slight criticism I have is that while she checked off the jobs that she did during each visit she did not write a progress report, such as the cats ate all of their food, or Ray let me pet him.”

About: My family and I adopted our pug mix named Munchi back in 2013-14 from Pets In Need before she passed in August 2026 at age 17. Growing up with our dog for the last ten years taught me the ins and outs of what it looks like to take care of a pet. I worked as a veterinary assistant for 6 months from October 2025-May 2026 for dogs and cats. I also have been riding and working around horses since I was 5. I am familiar with how to approach animals safely and provide a loving and caring environment. I will treat your pet like my own. I understand building trust, honoring their personal boundaries, and adapting to their comfort zone. Having walked alongside my very own dog through their adulthood and senior life, I was able to recognize subtle shifts in joint pain, mobility, and appetite changes. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or likes to be a couch potato, they’ll be treated with same kind of warmth, love, and dedication I gave my own. I’m currently working as a Ranch Hand at a local ranch in Portola Valley part time on Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays. I’m also actively looking for a second part time job to be able to make ends meet. I just adore dogs and would love to pursue pet care on the side as I love being around animals. I would always make sure to attentively listen to you for specific needs regarding your pet. I know no one knows your pet better like you do. I know every dog is different and has a different daily routine. I’ll take the time to thoroughly get to know you and your pet whether that means your pet is on a strict diet, needs to take a specific medication, has a specific walking schedule or any specific quirk.

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life I’ve had at least one dog since the age of 5. I have three dogs and a cat that I’m deeply obsessed with. I’ve been the ‘family dog sitter’ for years now, i recently started branching out and sitting, walking and doing drop in visits for family friends and recommendations. I’ve been working from home for over 10 years now. I’ve been using rover for a few years as well and I truly understand how important it is to find a sitter you can trust your whole whole world with and the stress that may come with that .i can assure you I treat all the animals I sit with the same love and attention I give my own animals. I’ve been fostering for about 8 years as well, im very familiar looking after dogs with medical needs. I’ve been working from home for over 10 years now to be honest my schedule revolves a lot around my dogs! My daughter is older and in high school leaving me with plenty of spare time to walk, do drop ins and board your pups. I do live in a condo so I take my pups out for potty breaks. I am extremely big on dog safety, I’ve had a husky for 10 years and she’s a runner! I’m very mindful and careful of walking dogs around my condo. We have plenty of very quiet safe streets and there’s a beautiful dog park right around the corner. For clients home visits I’m happy to walk your pup for potty breaks or supervise them if they have a yard. I take two of my dogs on hikes to pulgus ridge in San Carlos a few times a week and I’m always happy to bring along the dogs I’m minding if they’re up to the hike!

Also if they need to fed I can do that and follow directions for any special dietary needs. If they would like to play and like to be pet I would love to do that with them as well.

My schedule is very open right now, so I have plenty of time to spend with your pets and give them the attention and love they deserve. I have pets of my own at my home where I live with my parents, so I will care for your pets in your home, either staying at the house or doing drop-ins.

About: Hi, I’m Daniel! I just finished grad school and love animals. :) I grew up in a house filled with dogs and have privately dog-watched throughout my undergrad and graduate school years. You can trust that your pet is in capable and caring hands. Moreover, I am happy to take your trash out to the curb for house-sitting stays and grab your mail. Let's set up a meet and greet! Open Schedule. I recently finished grad school and my dissertation, so I've got nothing but time! I am an early riser (4 a.m. to be exact) and love to work out in the morning. We can work out together! I prioritize safety by all means. I grew up with many small dogs and have become hypervigilant when recognizing agitated or aggressive dog behaviour in other animals. I always err on the side of caution.

“Itzel did a wonderful job taking care of Laddoo while we were away! She was reliable, communicative, and clearly put in effort to make him comfortable. Laddoo can be shy with new people, but Itzel was patient and consistent with playtime and treats, which really helped him warm up to her. She followed his care routine carefully and sent helpful updates after each visit. There was one evening when she had car trouble and arrived late, but she communicated proactively and made sure Laddoo was taken care of. She was also very receptive to feedback about safety concerns with the windows. We appreciated her genuine care and attention to detail. Would definitely book with Itzel again!”

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Lobitos

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 11,991 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Lobitos. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

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 Lobitos. On Rover:

  • 83% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 87% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 92% 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 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 Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
