“Lehna is super communicative and incredibly kind! She took care of my dog Kona while I was on vacation and when I came back Kona was so happy. I knew that she was in good hands with Lehna. Lehna made sure that Kona wasn’t anxious while I was gone. Lehna kept in touch and sent photos. I definitely recommend Lehna, I know I’ll be booking her again!”
“Juan was a wonderful dog sitter. My 2 dogs are both nervous and like lots of attention. Juan charmed both of them and I came home to 2 happy dogs. Juan was also very considerate, he even washed the dogs' Kongs. I look forward to having him watch the dogs again.”

I have a fenced yard where they can play and There’s also a dog park nearby and a Beach I should go there almost every day. So I do go for long runs around the house there’s also a dog park nearby or usually go to the beach I do try to keep them occupied well it depends on the energy
“My cat usually hates everyone except me and my husband but she appeared for Stephanie! Stephanie did a great job following the instructions we left and was able to take us on at the last minute when our usual sitter fell through. Will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Alyssa did a fantastic job checking in on my dogs while I was away. She was very thorough and took the time for a meet and greet before the check in. Clearly cared about making sure everything was just right. My dogs were happy and well taken care of, and I really appreciated the peace of mind. Highly recommend! Thanks Alyssa!”
About: Natural dog whisperer. Meet my dogs and you'll see. They were both rescues with issues but are now great. Every dog I've dog sat or walked has now become a repeat customer or booked another stay this summer! We go to the dog park everyday and at least 1 super long walk. I'm a former research engineer and now just spend my days with my dogs. Figure we could use some company going to the dog park and dog beach I have an apartment with patio. I take my dogs out very often because I prefer being outdoors and exploring nature and all the trails
“Maria watched our 8-year old Rhodesian Ridgeback while we were away for Christmas break. We rarely leave our pup behind so naturally we were nervous. But Maria was so fantastic from the moment we met, that she gave us peace of mind knowing our pup was in great hands. Maria is professional, reliable, and her communication is above and beyond. It is clear she takes pride in her job and cares for animals. We enjoyed reading her updates and seeing all the pictures of her time with our dog. We will absolutely book her again. Thanks for everything, Maria!”

My home has a large, fully fenced yard where dogs can play safely. In your home, I carefully follow your routines and keep everything secure.

I offer personalized dog walking and love taking dogs on outdoor adventures—whether it’s a calm stroll around the neighborhood, a refreshing beach walk, or a hike on a mountain trail. I enjoy spending time with all types of dogs, I’m patient, reliable, and always focused on keeping your dog safe, exercised, and happy during our time together. Let me know what kind of walk your dog loves most—I’m happy to tailor each walk to your pet’s energy level and needs!

About: I assisted Military Police units with carrying for the K9s. I would let them bite me for training in a bite suit, to feeding them and playing with them, and the best part was being able to take then home on the occasions that the kennels were full or under construction, and secretly let them sleep in the bed with me. im very athletic, but also can be very lazy. So if you have a senior dog who just wants to cuddle and day that'll be perfect for me to finish homework and watch TV, but if your dog is hyper active I would love to go on long walks or runs with them. Ill treat your dog as if its my baby. You're trusting me with your family member, and ill make sure that I can provide and reassurance that they'll be loved and cared for in my home
“Tina was terrific! She was very responsive and flexible, even accommodating our last minute request for an extra visit. We got photos and a summary of every visit. We will definitely request Tina for future visits!”
About: I’ve loved dogs my whole life, growing up helping care for my mom’s dogs and friends’ pups in the pandemic. I’m also an experienced side-groomer with my own dog, so I’m attentive to behavior, hygiene, routines, and individual needs. Your pup will get patient, reliable, loving care. I work part-time, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability, including early mornings and weekends. I’m happy to discuss what works best for you and can commute by public transportation or bike. I have a dog of my own, so please let me know upfront if you’d prefer our pets not to meet—we’ll respect your boundaries. I’m currently offering care in your home, not boarding at mine, though that may change in the future. I am open to traveling to anywhere in the SF area and as south as Pacifica, Burlingame/San Mateo area.
About: I am an animal lover with two cats of my own. Currently, I work at a vet hospital and have experience with both cats and dogs. Additionally, I’m a pre-veterinary student so I’ll take any chance to hang out with animals as I can! I work at a vet hospital from Wed - Sat but I am free for bookings Sunday - Tues all day! Drop-ins before 11am could be made possible for Wed-Sat I do not offer pet care in my own home but I am able to do drop-ins or walks wherever the animal is located! I have my drivers license as well.
“Nicole’s daily drop-in visits were a huge help for my cat Minerva! Minerva is a little skittish so she is much happier when she can stay home instead of being boarded when we are out of town. We are lucky to have Nicole close by!”
About: My family had cockapoo named Dobby growing up, and I’ve been dogsitting since moving away from home to get my dog fix! I’m looking to find more four legged friends in the area :) I was a local dogsitter in Austin for two years with regular families before moving to Denver. For my previous dog sitting positions, I’ll typically live and stay the night at the family’s home for weekends while they’re gone. I take their dog on walks and adventures to local hiking areas. At the end of the day the dog and I cuddle on the couch together! I’ll treat your dog like they’re a part of my family! I have a wide variety of experience with dogs of many different ages and breeds: puppies to senior dogs!
“Sarah has been so wonderful!! She’s so patient and really lets my anxious dog set the pace. He started off very nervous and has warmed up to Sarah overtime. Her detailed summaries and photos are also so helpful and give me so much peace of mind. I will be booking with her again!”
About: I know I have no experience with animals but I do want to learn because I love them and I’m thinking of being a vet in the future. I learn very quick, I’m very good at following instructions and making sure that everything is done correctly. I hope you give me a chance to prove to you that I can take care of your pet. I’m currently in college but on Tu/Th/Fri I’m free after 3pm and the rest of the days I am fully available and ready to take care of your pet(s). I’m also available in the weekends all day. I have parks near by that I can take your pet(s) to, I can feed them at home or outside, I will clean any area that requires it, and I don’t mind washing any pet(s) as well or doing anything else that my client may need.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Montara
Stephen and Erica watched our cat during the Christmas holidays (and agreed to do so on relatively short notice!) and we came home to a happy cat who had received some new toys for Christmas. It was great getting to see pictures of her while we were away and know that there was someone around to make sure that she was eating and getting some attention. Would definitely boom with Stephen and Erica again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Montara is $34 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $49 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 10,611 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Montara. 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 Montara. 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.
