“Ian is so patient with our sometimes stubborn 85 lb goldendoodle, penny! He is great in his communication and you can tell he truly loves animals. We booked Ian for sitting penny in our house and he is very trustworthy. Highly recommend booking Ian for your dog sitting needs!”
“Very happy with the care Nico gave to our pup. We came back to a happy and healthy dog. His communication over the 6 days we left her was nothing short of phenomenal. Pictures and updates at least 3x days was very comforting. He left our house cleaner than when we left .Highly recommended. If I could give 10 stars I would.”
“Izabela was fantastic. 10 stars, not 5! She is kind, patient, communicative and loved our dog, Brady! Our air conditioning went out over the weekend when she was there, and she was a trooper working through all of it. Can't say enough good things about her. Already hired her again for this week!!!”
“Isabel was an absolute delight! I was a little nervous booking with someone new, but the moment she came over to meet our dogs, I felt completely at ease. She kept us updated throughout our trip and sent plenty of photos. It was clear they were getting lots of love and attention—when we got home, they were relaxed and happy, so I knew they’d been well cared for. She will be my first call the next time I need someone to watch my boys.”
About: I have owned a dog since I was born. I’ve watched plenty of my neighbors and friends dogs for them while they were on vacation and I also know how to deal with dogs with anxiety. I have semi trained some dogs and know how to control dogs. I work weekday mornings from 9am–1pm, Tuesday through Friday, so I’m available every afternoon and weekend for pet care, including walks, drop-ins, sitting, and giving your pets plenty of attention and love. For boarding, the dogs would be allowed on furniture and beds and less told otherwise by client we do have a backyard with a partial fence and a good neighborhood to walk the dog around
About: I have been a dog owner for over 30 years. My experience includes having a pet sitting business in Dallas, Texas from 2009 to 2014. I was a Volunteer, Foster and Treasurer for the Dallas Fort Worth Labrador Retriever Rescue. Many of my dog owner clients request I stay in their home overnight when they are away. The pet(s] feel more comfortable in their own familiar surroundings. I do dog walking on a daily basis at a clients request. I will keep a small to medium dog in my home. For cat owners I do a daily drop in to feed, take care of litter box and playtime. I have Pet Care Insurance coverage. I currently work part time from 1PM to 4PM Monday-Thursday and Fridays 9.30AM to 11.30 AM. Would be available early mornings and after 4pm. My home is a downstairs unit in a gated community with many walking paths and grassy areas. All pets are on leash for walks. When pet sitting in a clients home, I go by their routine for walking, feeding and playing.

About: I've been around animals my entire life, growing up with cats and continuing to care for my current cat, Vin. Through those experiences, I've become comfortable with feeding routines, litter box maintenance, playtime, and recognizing when a pet may need extra attention or care. During my time serving in the U.S. Air Force, I regularly house sat and cared for the pets of coworkers while they were away. This included providing companionship, maintaining feeding schedules, exercise, walks, and ensuring pets stayed comfortable in their familiar environment while their owners were gone. My military background taught me responsibility, attention to detail, and reliability; qualities I bring to every pet I care for. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision, and I strive to provide the same level of care and communication that I would want for my own pets. I currently have a flexible schedule and can accommodate a variety of pet care needs, including walks, drop-in visits, and overnight house sitting. I'm available weekdays, weekends, and many holidays, and I strive to work with pet owners to ensure their pets receive reliable and consistent care. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for your pets and your home. I take the time to learn your pet's routines, preferences, and any special instructions so I can provide consistent care while you're away. During walks, I prioritize secure leash handling, awareness of our surroundings, and your pet's comfort and safety. During drop-in visits and house sitting, I follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and household routines carefully while ensuring your home remains secure and respected. I understand that inviting someone into your home and trusting them with your pets is a big decision.
About: I have been volunteering at an animal shelter since I was very young! This gave me the chance to work with various dogs ranging in size. I have been able to help them behaviorally and train them to the best possible pets. I currently work part time, which gives me a lot of free time as a college student living at home. I would be able to incorporate them into my everyday life. I have a gated community and backyard which makes it accessible for the puppy to be walked. They will also have a large living room space with only tile- perfect for them to roam around.
About: With over five years of dedicated pet-sitting experience, our family offers a unique, multi-species "home away from home" experience. Our household is a true animal-loving environment where every guest is treated like one of our own. Our 10-year-old Jack Russell, Mel, is the ultimate hostess, she is incredibly friendly, gentle, and loves playing with new friends. Because we share our home with everything from dogs to snakes, turtles, and lizards, we are uniquely equipped to handle a wide variety of needs. Our 16-year-old is particularly passionate about exotic pet care, ensuring that even the smallest or most unique pets get the specialized attention they require. Whether it’s a senior dog needing a gentle pace or a high-energy pup ready for the backyard, we have the experience to make them feel safe and loved. My home is active and full of life! My routine is centered around pet happiness: morning walks in our pet-friendly community, plenty of playtime in our spacious backyard, and quiet relaxation in the evenings. Your pet will never lack for attention. Whether it’s feeding time for our fish and reptiles or a game of fetch with my dog Mel, pet care isn't just a task for me- it’s a central part of my daily life. Safety is my absolute priority. I live in a large house with a beautiful open backyard. While my yard is not fenced, I operate on a "100% Eyes-On" policy. Pets are never left unattended outdoors; they are always on a leash and supervised. I maintain a clean, pet-friendly environment where guest animals have plenty of room to explore or find a cozy corner for a nap. To build trust with you, I provide: Constant Communication: Frequent photo and video updates so you can see how much fun your pet is having. Socialization: Carefully supervised interactions with Mel to ensure everyone is comfortable. Specialized Care: Deep knowledge of reptile and aquatic needs, ensuring your exotic pets stay on their specific light and feeding schedules.
“Amazing communication, respect for our home, and attentive care for our dog. We are so thankful! When we came home, Teddy was calm, relaxed and not depressed. Our house was clean and well cared for. She went above and beyond with communication to make my anxious dog mom heart calm.”

“We recently had the pleasure of hiring Kaitlyn to take care of our dog and house while we were away, and we couldn't be more pleased with the experience. From start to finish, Kaitlyn was incredibly professional, attentive, and caring. Before we left, we had a thorough conversation about our dog's routines, dietary requirements, and any special instructions. Kaitlyn has a natural affinity with animals which was evident at that first meet and greet. She also took on the responsibility of looking after our home. We came back to a home that was not only clean and well-maintained but also with all the little details attended to. Kaitlyn exceeded our expectations as a dog and house sitter. Her genuine love for animals combined with her professionalism and attention to detail, make her the ideal choice for anyone in need of pet and house care. We recommend Kaitlyn and will undoubtedly be using her services again is available”

If you need me, I’ll be there! I will follow every instruction you ask of me to best care for your fur baby. The health and safety of your pet is the most important part of this job.
“Vanessa was great! We appreciate that she came for a meet and greet in advance, sent lots of pictures of Aioli, and she was a respectful guest in our home. Would love to have her watch Aioli again!”
“Samantha was absolutely exceptional. She showed up right on time and immediately put me at ease with how natural and confident she was with Lucky. He’s a large dog and not always the easiest to handle, but she managed him with such calm presence and ease — it was honestly impressive to watch. What stood out most was how quickly Lucky connected with her. He genuinely loved spending time with Samantha, which says everything. You can feel when someone truly cares, and she does. We’re so grateful we found her and will absolutely be coming back again and again. I fully trust her and would recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, attentive, and truly great with animals.”

As a pet owner of dog two dogs I would never really go on vacation because I was always worried about who would love and care for my babies like do, and then we found Neusa, a true blessing for our family. Neusa, is kind , loving , honest and takes amazing care of our dogs. I can honestly say I leave without having any stress or anxiety she picks up where I left off and her communication with us while we are away is great and sends great pictures as well. We are very grateful ☺️

I fully trust her and would recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, attentive, and truly great with animals.
Melanie has been such a blessing for our little 12-week-old pup! She is incredibly reliable and always on time, which made each day run smoothly. Most importantly, she is so caring and patient — exactly what a young puppy needs. Our pup adored her and was relaxed, happy, and well cared for every time she was here. We can’t recommend her enough!
Can’t say enough good things about Marissa! We had a few changes to our booking prior to her stay that she remained flexible on and was very communicative during our trip sending lots of pictures of our furbaby! The house was spotless when we got home and our baby was a very happy girl. I would definitely recommend and use Marissa again in the future, thanks for everything!
Andrew was amazing - so attentive and caring for our Lila. He stayed with Lila at our place for a week while we were away. He was truly incredible- he sent us lots of updates and Lila was very happy under his care. Would highly recommend Andrew and will definitely use him again.

FAQs for House Sitting - Mission Bay
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Mission Bay on Rover is $53.5 per night (as of June 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 June 2026, there are 4,069 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Mission Bay. 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 Mission Bay 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 Mission Bay 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 Mission Bay 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Mission Bay. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
