“Marissa was absolutely wonderful. She kept our cat, Jet, and our leopard gecko Stanley great company while we were on a vacation. She is responsible, communicative, and puts your pets first always! Will absolutely be a repeat client!”
“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!!!”
“I needed a pet sitter when I had an evening event to attend and did not want to leave Marlie, my young cavapoo, alone. Daniela was wonderful. She happily agreed to come to my home for a meet and greet a few days before she actually dog-sat. Within minutes Marlie was comfortable with Daniela, bringing her a favorite toy to play with. I was reassured that I had selected the right sitter for Marlie. The night of my event, Daniela arrived on time and easily took charge of the situation. I will definitely book Daniela again!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a little kid! I have loads of experience with different types and love all of them 🖤 I’m currently unemployed so I have loads of time to play with your animals. My schedule is pretty flexible and am willing to move things around for you. I make sure to play with every person and create a safe environment for them. I follow their needed routines and always make sure they have plenty water and food. 😁
“Upon our first meeting, I knew that Pamela was going to be a good fit for my fearful dog. I highly recommend Pamela for dog sitting. She is extremely responsible, friendly, and trustworthy. Sophie is not an easy dog but bonded nicely with her. Thank you Pamela for making my trip more pleasant with less stress and worry.”
About: Hi! My name is Giovanna, and I’m a caring, responsible dog sitter who truly loves animals. I’ve grown up around dogs and have hands-on experience caring for my own dog, my cousin’s dogs while she was away, and dogs I’ve watched as a sitter. I’ve also cared for a dog while babysitting two kids, so I’m very comfortable managing routines, attention, and responsibility at the same time. I understand that every dog has a unique personality, energy level, and routine. I take the time to follow owners’ instructions carefully, whether that means feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, or just giving extra love and patience. I’m calm, attentive, and always focused on keeping pets safe, happy, and comfortable. I treat every dog as if they were my own and make sure they feel secure while their owners are away. I’m happy to send updates and photos so you can feel at ease knowing your pet is in good hands. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, loving, and attentive to care for your dog, I’d be happy to help! I can walk dogs after 5pm on weekdays and can take care of them for days and during the night. On weekends I am free. I take care of dogs with a consistent daily routine that includes feeding on schedule, fresh water at all times, regular walks, playtime, and lots of attention and affection. I make sure the dog gets enough exercise, mental stimulation, and rest. I also pay close attention to behavior, appetite, and energy levels so I can notice if anything seems off. Cleanliness and safety are very important to me, and I always make sure the dog feels comfortable, calm, and loved.
About: I have had a dog for 12 years and 2 cats for about 5 years. I have also taken care of pets for family, friends, and neighbors while they are out of town! I am flexible and able to stay with them in their home if preferred! I am currently working part time and have free time and flexibility! I will be able to spend time with your pet during the day or night. In your home, I will make sure to keep the space clean and ensure your pet is taken care of in the way you would like.
About: I love being around pets, and I am said by many to be a very kind person. Kindness is my talent, I just love making other people’s days better by being funny or silly. I do not have a lot of experience with dog care, but I would make sure to do my best for you kiddo. I also work as a Portuguese translator, so it is very important that I receive a notice before booking anything, but I am pretty much available every day. Because of the passion that I feel about animals, I never did and would never allow them to be hurt around me. I will always make sure to protect your loved one!
“Ekaterina is a wonderful pet sitter! She stayed with my frenchie while I was out of town and gave him great love and care. She sent many pictures and updates and was great with communication. I will book with her again.”
About: I’ve been around dogs all my life. I’ve had a dog for 12 years and counting and I’ve been running a small dog walking/sitting job over the summer but id like to expand and do something while I’m in college. I can work almost any day of the week as long as I’m not in class. Fridays and weekends I can work longer. I work part time while I’ll be in college. I’ve been doing a small business where I drop in at peoples houses or stay overnight and they trust me to do so. I can also pick your dog up to go to the park.
“Desiree was absolutely perfect for us! She came ahead to meet our dogs and get an overview of the house and their routines. It was clear to us that she loves dogs and would be a caring sitter. Desiree communicated clearly, confirming timing before the service began. During our trip, Desiree sent regular check ins and pictures. We highly recommend her and will be using her going forward.”
“Larissa is absolutely amazing! After being on the fence for months, I finally buckled down and interviewed to find just the right sitter for my furbabies—and Larissa checked off EVERY box. Not only did she have an immediate rapport with my animals, her easygoing nature, loving energy, and clear professionalism made her the very best choice. While I was away, I never had a worry that my home and animals were in safe hands, because Larissa made a point to keep me posted with daily pics, videos, and updates—without request! Before I left, she asked all the right questions that let me know she would provide the level of care that I was hoping for, and that kind of peace of mind is enough to assure that I will most definitely be a returning and regular client!”
About: I’ve been taking care of pets since I was in middle school. Years ago, we lost our 14 year old beloved dog that we had since he was 6 weeks old due to cancer. He had 3 legs the last year of his life and we catered to his every need. I have experience with puppies as well as aging and special needs dogs that need a lot of attention or care (medical, etc). I used to have a diabetic cat that required insulin twice per day and was able to manage her needs seamlessly despite working full time and traveling. My family loves animals and are excited to love on another dog in our home. We believe that pets aren’t just fun and sweet animals, they are family members. We treat them as such. We have two kids ages 17 and 15 that also love animals and are excited to have pets in the house again. They are high energy and love to chase them and play with their toys (especially tug a war) with them. We love animals - especially dogs. We watch them as if they are our own by not leaving them outside alone for long periods, play with them and just love on them. Hablo español
“Nicolette was wonderful! She stayed in great communication throughout her stay, followed all of our instructions, and took such good care of our pets and our home. We came back to happy pets and a clean house, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We’re incredibly grateful for her help and would absolutely appreciate having her stay with our pets again!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 10 years and love providing dependable, personalized care. I’m experienced with administering medications, senior dogs, puppies, anxiety-prone pups, and following detailed routines for feeding, walks, and special needs. Whether your dog is high-energy or prefers a calm environment, I adapt my care to match their personality and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or prefers a calm, cozy environment, I tailor my care to fit them. I’m reliable, attentive, and always focused on giving pets the same love and attention I’d want for my own. You can expect regular updates, plenty of walks, playtime, and lots of affection. Dog sitting fits perfectly into my daily routine. I have a flexible job, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day — not just quick check-ins. I genuinely enjoy having dogs around and love building my schedule around walks, playtime, and quality one-on-one care. I live in a safe, gated community and provide a clean, calm, and secure home environment where dogs can feel comfortable and relaxed. Your dog’s safety, trust, and happiness are always my top priorities, and I treat every pet like family.
“Our first time having a dog sitter, Stella was awesome, she sent frequent updates and pictures daily and fun walks. Our dog is a senior, moving to a new home she has anxiety she really warmed up to Stella which is impressive. When we arrived home our house was nice and clean, and a very happy dog waiting Highly recommended!”

Jessica provided excellent care to our dog and cat while we were traveling! Our dog is scared of thunderstorms, and we could see her nestling with Jessica while being comforted -- so cute! Jessica provided lots of photos, and we felt very secure knowing that our beloved pets were in good hands. Will definitely be reaching out to Jessica again in the future!
This was our first time using Nico and we will definitely book again! He was so attentive to our girls. He gave updates multiple times a day and captured great moments on camera and video. We were completely at ease while on vacation knowing that Nico was caring for our fur babies!
Upon our first meeting, I knew that Pamela was going to be a good fit for my fearful dog. I highly recommend Pamela for dog sitting. She is extremely responsible, friendly, and trustworthy. Sophie is not an easy dog but bonded nicely with her. Thank you Pamela for making my trip more pleasant with less stress and worry.
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 ☺️
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!

The average cost of House Sitting in Mission Bay is $54 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $21 and $82 per night.

As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 , 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.
