About: I've grown up with dogs all my life. My Eagle Scout project was to help create storage and kits for a dog rescue agency and since then I've helped foster 5 dogs and doggysat for numerous friends and family. I give dogs my time and attention and try to pay attention to their preferences and habits. I am a college student so I have flexibility to care for animals during summer and winter breaks. I love being able to chill on the couch next to dogs so they feel cared for and loved. I have a fenced yard and two very sweet dogs who have been mentors to our foster dogs. We have toybaskets everywhere and a regular routine for feeding and care.

About: My love for animals began when I was very young in my country Ecuador, adopting dogs from the streets and then looking for a second home for them. All my life I have had dogs and lived with them, creating a unique and special bond because they are part of the family and they are children to whom they give a lot of love in return for nothing. I would be very happy if you gave me the opportunity to take care of your dog. You will not regret it. If they are in my house all day, I will give them lots of pampering, their food as the owner indicates, I take them for a walk for half an hour and an hour in the backyard of my house so they can sunbathe daily while playing with balls. You can bring your dog at any time, I'm open. The whole house is protected and there is no danger of your dog getting lost or something happening to it. In addition, we are a family that loves dogs.

About: I’ve loved animals my whole life, especially dogs, and I treat every pet I care for like part of the family. When I was 6 years old, my single mother and I had to move abroad, and I had to say goodbye to my wonderful dog, Piper, who I loved for years. That experience taught me at a young age what it meant to truly appreciate the present moment and never take the love of an animal for granted. I value being reliable, really tuned in to dogs — I understand their behavior, needs, and how to keep them happy and safe. With plenty of free time to devote to your family member, you can trust that they’ll get the attention, care, and companionship they deserve while you’re away. Since I work for myself, I have a flexible schedule with plenty of free hours to devote to your pet. That means I can work around walks, playtime, and check-ins without feeling rushed, so your dog or cat gets consistent care and attention throughout the day. I’m naturally drawn to loving animals, so caring for them isn’t that hard — it’s something I genuinely enjoy. I’ll listen closely to you as the owner and make sure I fulfill all of your pet’s needs, while giving them love and attention every step of the way.

Gramercy, New York, NY, 10010

About: My experience with cats started when I was 4 years old when I became proud owner of the runt of the litter, a dark calico named Jessica or Jess for short. She lived a long life, just shy of 20 years! Over the past 3 decades I've sat for cats and some dogs while babysitting or house sitting. No special certifications or trainings but willing to support the care and safety of your pet! Currently looking for full-time employement after a layoff last year. Background in nonprofit fundraising. Actively engaged with several personal and professional communities such as Spanish Sin Pena, Project Management Institute, Women in Cleantech & Sustainability, and a board member of Manhattan Borough Community Board 6. Love to bake and make soups this time of year! Favorite activities with the kitties include enthusiastic playtime with or without toys, sunbathing, and giving treats! For doggies, I'd give them some attention with petting and a walk outdoors, a game of fetch or hide and seek, something active. Health and safety of pets is paramount. I often request all the important phone numbers, insurance, and other important details ahead of time in case of emergencies.

About: I’ve been a “dog person” my whole life. Growing up, my family always had at least two labs in the house, and we fostered puppies for several years. Caring for dogs was a big part of my childhood and something I’ve always loved. Over the years, I’ve gained experience in many areas of pet care. As a kid and teen, I ran a small dog-walking business in my neighborhood. In college, I took care of my professor’s dogs, and later cared for my neighbor’s dog in my first New York apartment. I’ve worked with dogs of all ages, sizes, breeds, and abilities, and have experience with walking, house sitting, in-home care, boarding, and raising dogs. (Also, my mother currently works for a dog food company - we are big dog people). I truly love caring for dogs and treat each one with patience, attention, and respect. I’d love the opportunity to care for your dog and provide them with safe, reliable, and loving care. I live and work in Manhattan, with both my office and my apartment being located near the flatiron building. I currently work full time on a hybrid schedule. On in-office days (typically two flexible days per week), I’m able to take dogs out for a quick walk or potty break every 3–4 hours. As I mentioned, because I live relatively close to my office, I am able to more frequently let out your dogs if they are staying with me. On weekends, I’m generally very flexible and available, with no recurring commitments. I love spending time with dogs and am happy to adjust my schedule to meet your pet’s needs. I live near Madison Square Park, which offers great green space and a dog run, perfect for walks and playtime. I’m also close to the East River Greenway, making it easy to enjoy longer, uninterrupted walks along the water. My home is dog friendly, clean, safe, and non-smoking. I live with one roommate who also loves dogs, and there are no children or other pets in the home. I’m also very comfortable visiting your apartment to take your dog out, spend quality time with them during the day or evening, and make sure they receive the attention and care they deserve while you’re away. I live an active, healthy lifestyle and regularly go on long walks, including trips to Central Park on the weekends. When possible, I love incorporating dogs into my day-to-day activities and errands so they get plenty of companionship and exercise.

FAQs for House Sitting - Ocean Beach

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of September 2026, there are 2,559 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Ocean Beach. 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 Ocean 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 Ocean 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 Ocean 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 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 Ocean Beach. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.
