About: I have been an emergency room veterinary tech for years and have studied veterinary medicine in college. I own an array of different pets my whole life, so you'll know your pet's are in good hands with all my experience and knowledge. I am currently working part time to help take care of my sick mother and have a lot of availability to walk and care for pets! I have large, fenced yard and a little dog who loves everyone and everything. I am very respectful of other people's homes and aware of what your pet's need!
About: I’ve been around cats and dogs my whole life, and I’m comfortable caring for animals of different breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments. I grew up with cats and was lucky enough to have a litter born in my room, so I’ve been around them from the very beginning. I also grew up with dogs of all sizes and personalities, from playful high-energy dogs to older dogs who need a gentler pace and a little more support. I’m especially patient with animals that are shy, skittish, cautious, or slow to warm up. I know not every cat or dog wants to be approached the same way, and I try to meet them on their terms, earn their trust, and make the interaction feel safe and positive. Whether that means a walk, playtime, quiet companionship, or giving them space, I want your pet to feel comfortable with me. When I take care of an animal, I treat them like they’re my own. I’m attentive with feeding, water, litter boxes, walks, routines, house instructions, and updates. My goal is simple: for you to feel confident while you’re away, and for your pet to get care, attention, and comfort from our time together. I currently have flexible availability and can work with different pet-care needs, including walks, drop-in visits, cat care, and in-home pet sitting. I’m available for weekdays, weekends, and overnights depending on the request, and I’m happy to discuss your pet’s normal routine so I can keep things as consistent as possible while you’re away. I do not offer boarding in my home at this time. For walks, drop-ins, and house sitting, I care for pets in their own home and follow the owner’s instructions closely. I pay attention to feeding routines, fresh water, litter boxes, doors, locks, leash safety, and keeping pets secure and comfortable. I’ll also provide updates so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away.
“Alex stayed in our home with our pup Luna for four days and was very communicative. She sent photos, was always quick to respond to inquiries from us and was flexible at the end of the stay when there were return flight issues. The house looks just as we left it (if not cleaner! Haha) and we absolutely will book her again and recommend you do, too.”
“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 :)”
“Esther was very sweet with my little old pup. Her communication and pics allowed me to enjoy my trip knowing my dog and home were in good hands. Looking forward to booking with Esther again soon!”
About: I've cared for pets of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs with special needs. One of my most memorable experiences was spending 3 weeks looking after three very different dogs at once: two senior dogs, one of whom was both blind and deaf, and a massive, playful Bernedoodle puppy! Talk about jumping in at the deep end... that was my very first dog-sitting experience! I'm always up for long walks or runs with dogs who enjoy them, and I love teaching new tricks (with their owner's okay, of course!). I can even communicate in Russian or American Sign Language if your dog happens to know either! Let’s make sure your furry friends get the best care and have a blast while you’re away! Since I work from home, I’m super flexible and can accommodate your pet's needs and schedule. I’m available between 10am and 8pm, so let’s chat about what works best for you and your furry friend! In the client's home, I start by chatting with the owner to learn about their pet's needs and routine. Then, I keep them comfortable and happy with plenty of playtime, exercise, and love while keeping the owner updated.
“Haley is amazing!!!! Super great communication, very attentive and loving care of our pets. She even helped set up follow up vet appointments when she noticed an issue. We love her!”
About: I’ve taken care of multiple dogs of every kind in my life. I have had two dogs that I’ve owned, from a Puggle (medium/small dog) to a current large/medium dog (Paco). Family and friends have trusted me to walk their dogs as well as house-sit for them with their furry friend. I am a recent college graduate in search of a full-time job, so my schedule is very flexible at the moment! I have been dog walking as well as housesitting for a few furry friends since my graduation and would love to help out in any way I can through Rover! I am available to dog walk and dog sit (in your place of residence), but I cannot provide my own home for the dog sitting since I have a dog that does not like another furry friend in his space. I love all other animals as well as dogs, so if there is other accommodations for other animals, I can be of assistance for them.
“Merci is fantastic! She stayed in my home with my 4-yr old Shiba Inu for 2 weeks, and sent me updates with pictures and videos everyday. She was very communicative & clearly enjoyed playing with my dog. I would absolutely hire her again, and I wholeheartedly recommend her !”
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: Having loved and lost my own dogs, I know firsthand that pets are deeply valued family members who deserve the highest quality of care. For the last six years, I have been the go-to pet sitter and dog walker for my friends and family. Whether you are traveling for a few days or just need a reliable walker during a busy work week, I am here to ensure your pets maintain their routine and receive plenty of love, exercise, and attention. With a highly flexible part-time schedule, I dedicate my days fully to pet care and companionship. Your furry family member will never be left alone for long periods, as I have ample availability throughout the week for early morning turnouts, midday walks, and dedicated evening attention. Whether you need reliable daily dog walking to break up the workday or attentive overnight house sitting while you travel, my routine is designed to seamlessly adapt to your pet's established schedule and provide them with plenty of love, exercise, and care. When caring for your pet in your home, my top priority is maintaining a safe, trustworthy, and familiar environment. I focus on safety first by enforcing strict leash rules during walks and thoroughly double-checking all door and window locks. To build trust, I completely respect your private space while keeping you connected with detailed check-in notes and regular updates. Finally, I preserve your pet's familiar sanctuary by keeping their routine and home setup exactly as you left it, ensuring a stress-free experience while you are away.
“Aunt Tania is our kitty’s favorite—we always know our baby is in great hands. She goes above and beyond as both a cat and house sitter, sending daily photos, watering plants, and leaving our home spotless. She even adds the sweetest welcome-home notes. We highly recommend her!”
About: Ten years caring for dogs big and small. I keep their routines, give plenty of exercise and cuddles, and send updates so you can relax. Evenings after 6 pm I’m free for walks, feeding and company. Weekends I’m fully available to enjoy your dog, from park strolls to beach days. 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.
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.
“Vivian is an incredible cat sitter! She was extremely attentive to Mushu’s needs and followed instructions perfectly. She is a great communicator as well, sending thorough updates and photos each day and was readily available if I had any questions. I highly recommend booking!!”

About: Well, I love dogs and I honestly treat them like children. I take time to train and show affection while also creating a safe environment for your doggy💕 I work full time!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Moss Beach
I can't recommend Lily enough! She agreed to sit for Eddy and Daphne on very short notice, and she went far beyond what I expected. She took the pups on a field trip for a fun walk; they were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for the whole time I was gone. I came home to a tidy house. She even stripped the bed and remade it with fresh sheets, and it looked like a hotel bed! That kind of thoughtfulness is rare, and it made coming home a treat. 💙💙

The average cost of House Sitting in Moss Beach is $89 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $56 and $107 per night.

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 Moss Beach 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 Moss Beach 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 Moss Beach 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Moss Beach. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
