“Nikka is a wonderful, caring and attentive pet sitter! She stayed at my house with Juno and Lumi for a long weekend and I received lots of happy cat pictures over my time away. It's so nice to go out of town and know that my house and my boys are well cared for. Thank you Nikka! The boys miss you 😉”
About: I have several years of experience caring for pets for close friends and family, including dog boarding, dog walking, and house sitting. Through these experiences, I’ve learned how important it is to provide pets with consistent care, attention, and companionship while their owners are away. I’m comfortable with different routines and personalities, and I always strive to make pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for in my care. I am currently home from college and am open to working full time to play and hang out with your pups. I am available everyday after 11:00am. For boarding I am also available weekdays and weekends :) I have a fenced backyard with lots of space to roam around and play. My home is close to many parks and trails meaning lots of time for fetch and walks!
About: I've loved dogs since I was a kid! My first dog was a Chow Chow when I was five years old, and I adored him until the day he passed. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them comes with much joy to me. Friends and family often count on me to walk, feed, and spend time with their pets, and I genuinely love every second of it. I treat every pet with patience, affection, and the same care I’d want for my own. I am currently working part time as a Behavioral Aide for toddlers on the autism spectrum. Afternoon and evenings are open for me and I am avaliable for dog walking, house sitting, and drop-in visits during this slot. I will offer the best possible care for your pet during our walks and/or visits. I do not offer boarding in my home as my arrangements do not allow it but I am open to house sitting and providing your dog and feline friends what they need according to what you know is best for them!
“Katrina did a wonderful job taking care of my 3 cats. She was very attentive to each of my cats’ needs and put great effort into playing, talking and feeding them. She gave updates with photos, videos, and messages and was always very responsive. We definitely recommend her and will book her again in the future.”
“Brianna was a wonderful pup and house sitter this weekend. With frequent updates and pics I was able to enjoy a peaceful and fun weekend away. It was so nice to return to a happy pup and home. I look forward to the next time Brianna sits for us.”
About: I have been an avid animal lover since I was a child. I would collect frogs, salamanders, and snakes then bring them home to show [scare] my family then safely return them to their homes. Beginning from the age of 6 or 7 I began riding horses. I was devoted to horseback riding for years which taught me a number of valuable skills on how to care for animals. In addition, to having multiple family pets including a rat and dogs', I had my own dog [Nala]. I loved, cared for, and nursed Nala through kidney disease which required administering scheduled medications and subcutaneous fluids. After recently loosing Nala, while I am not yet ready to get another pet, I would love to look after yours! Thank you for considering me to take care of your family member. I recently graduated with my master's in healthcare administration. I've been on a job hunt for a couple of months, and I have plenty of spare time. I decided to join Rover to take advantage of my love for animals and my free time by pet sitting! I have a flexible schedule with a minimal advanced notice. I have an enclosed yard and one 7-year-old friendly female husky who lives here. Depending on your pet's personality, preferences, and stay details your family member can stay here, or I will stay with them in your home.
“Alia is amazing! My dog is elderly and has a complex set of medication needs. Alia took beautiful care of her, sent great photos, kept in touch about everything. I feel really lucky to have found her. I didn’t worry at all!! Thanks so much Alia!!!”
“Seng was great! Super friendly, flexible and did a great job caring for my Mixie and following all instructions. Mixie seemed to love her instantly, which was a big win! Would definitely recommend!”
About: I connect quickly to animals and specialize in dog running and cat care. After sitting in a cubicle for two years in my previous job, I empathize strongly with pets that sit at home all day. I seriously hope to bring light into their lives through my care. I work in freelance photography, so I have a very flexible schedule. I have a car so I’m able to come to you, and can take your pet on field trip when needed. I aim to enrich the lives of the animals I care for by playing games, cuddling/spending time together, and exploring the outside world when appropriate.
“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 :)”
“Vanessa was very gentle and kind with my dogs and they trusted her right away! She sent so many pictures while we were away and puppies looked relaxed and happy to be around her😍 I will definitely rebook ☺️!”
“Danielle was great with my anxious pup! She made herself available at the last minute after another sitter cancelled, and I felt completely comfortable leaving Adare with her for the day. We'd have her back in a heartbeat.”
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
About: I am my mother's fourth child (I grew up with three golden retrievers). Two of the goldens still go to the beach everyday at ages 15 and 16 (they still live with my mother). I've been swimming, walking, playing, washing, cooking for, feeding, cleaning up after, chauffeuring and generally chilling with dogs almost everyday for 15 years. I'm accustomed to medication regimens and mindful of safe play, especially for elderly and disabled dogs. I'm also very comfortable with large and extra-large dogs. My childhood friends include a Newfoundland and St. Bernard. I have experience pet sitting in clients homes in the Bay but am new to Rover. I just started a sabattical from lawyering. Happy to be your dog's lawyer though (this is not legal advertising). I am on a work sabattical, so I am happy to tailor my schedule to you and your dog's needs. Please provide me with advance notice of your schedule whenever possible. I prefer to care for your dog in their home so that they are the most comfortable. Otherwise I would prefer that your dog and I establish a few walks or activities before boarding at my place, so that they feel safe and comfortable with me.
“Emiliano was our first male to sit for our 1yo puppy. He was extremely gentle and caring and agreed to meet with us and our pup before his stay. He went out of his way to make sure our home looked even better than we left it, with a happy dog to come home to also.”
“Raquel was an amazing pet sitter for our Lola! Her knowledge and experience with bully breeds gave us peace of mind while we were away. She was great about communicating and sending pictures of a happy Lola. She also left our house clean and tidy! We would definitely use Raquel again to take care of Lola.”
About: I’ve had dogs since I was 5 years old. My two recents are Cow and Calf. Cow is a Saint Bernard/german shepherd mix and Calf her son we bred with a Mastiff. I have them trained and capable for any situation. I spent arduous hours training them to be farm hands and hunters. We have a loving home and now reside in Pacifica, CA. I have careers that allow me to be present at home with them and I want to extend that loving, caring and supportive home environment to your dog(s). They won’t have a single day without fun or socialization if they’re with this pack. I am currently working from home and have a flexible schedule. I walk my two dogs about 2-4 hours every day hiking through the Pacifica hills near Mori Point or taking the dogs to the beach. My dogs and I are best friends. We are almost always together and when I’m out handling client calls they are with me. I give them hours of play outside at the beach and mountains daily. These spoiled pups eat an organic whole food diet and have a vast collection of toys they are very happy to share with a play mate. Dogs are welcome in our home and I would gladly take heed of any and all requests from a client in my home or theirs! We would treat a client’s home like our friend and Family’s to ensure it’s as good or better than when I arrived.
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and currently have a 3½-year-old Lab(Whiskey) who I also trained while she was a puppy. My family also had a dog from the time I was born until I was 7 years old, which is where my love for dogs started. I’m currently on summer break from college, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to caring for your dog. My Lab is very high energy and requires a lot of exercise and attention. She also has a skin condition that requires regular baths and extra care, so I’m used to handling dogs with specific needs and routines. I enjoy spending time with dogs, whether that’s going for walks, playing with them, or just keeping them company. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I will treat your dog like one of my own. I’m responsible, dependable, and committed to making sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. I’m currently on summer break from college, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give pets the attention they need. I have a high-energy Labrador at home who requires daily exercise, playtime, and regular care for her skin condition, including frequent baths and monitoring. Because of that, I’m used to planning my days around feeding schedules, walks, medication routines, and making sure pets get plenty of attention and exercise. Caring for animals is something I do every day, not just occasionally. I treat every pet like they’re my own and try to keep them on the routine they’re used to. In my client’s home, I follow feeding schedules, provide fresh water, take dogs on walks, give plenty of playtime and attention, and can administer medications if needed. I also make sure the home stays clean and secure while the owner is away. In my own home, pets receive constant supervision, regular potty breaks, exercise, and lots of interaction throughout the day. Since I have experience caring for my own high-energy Labrador with a skin condition, I’m comfortable handling pets that require extra attention, special care routines, or medications.
“Amazing pet sitter, my cats loved them. Respectful towards space, I came back home and my furry family was not anxious and looked very happy. Video calls ones a day during drop ins definitely helped my animals to feel better. Appreciate the help with my kitties.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Pacifica is $75
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Pacifica
Hailey did a great job house-sitting and taking care of our two Boston Terriers. Hailey provided regular updates with photos of our pups while we were away. When we returned home, it was clear that Hailey also took the extra care to tidy up before leaving. I would definitely use Hailey again and recommend her to anyone looking for a professional and thoughtful sitter.
My dogs absolutely loved having Catherine come stay! She learned their routines quickly, took fantastic care of them and my house, and was delightful to work with. I am very glad that she was available to stay and look forward to working with her again in the future! Highly recommend!!
Raquel is so great with my zoo! She goes above and beyond taking out the litter, which I greatly appreciate! My dog loves going on walks with her and he’s a bit reactive with no issues. I’m so glad she is local and takes such great care of my babies, thank you!!!
Oh, what a dear! Angie (& Cole) were wonderful to my Aussie, who is suffering from a lame leg. She asked all of the right questions about her care and made sure to make friends prior to my departure so Lulu would be comfortable. They (Angie and Cole) not only kept her company and occupied while I was traveling for over a week, but they kept me from worrying! They sent pictures and updates, and made sure she was happy and healthy for my return. They also left my home spotless, which is greatly appreciated when suffering from jetlag. Couldn't recommend them more.
Amazing!! My furry family was so happy and healthy!! I don't know how to thank Owen enough!!!!!! Also, and importantly, the house was in better shape than I left it. I cannot thank him enough for taking care of my family and my home. What a blessing to have him!!
Jess is an absolute gem of a sitter. She stayed with our two dogs for several days while we were out of town, took amazing care of them, and sent us lots of pictures. I *know* she took amazing care of them because in the photos, the dogs were being their normal and lovely selves. Plus, when we got home, they were well-rested and happy, and our little guy watched the street for a long time after Jess left. ("Where did my friend go?" was the caption under his cute face.) I will 100% hire her again and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing caretaker for their pets.
Isabella was very responsive, provided updates (with pictures) and took great care of both our house and pups. We have two big boys who can be a lot to handle, but she did great with them. House was in great condition when we got home. Will definitely work with Isabella again!
Milagros was absolutely amazing! She is incredibly caring, compassionate and kind- our pets loved her :). She is extremely detail-oriented and followed all of our instructions to the letter. She was also super communicative and totally flexible and left our entire house sparkling clean which was a wonderful gift after a long day of traveling. We can’t wait to hire her again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Pacifica
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Pacifica on Rover is $55.5 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 7,465 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Pacifica. 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 Pacifica 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 Pacifica 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 Pacifica 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 Pacifica. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
