“Sophia is an incredible dog caretaker, sitter and house guest. She is attentive, proactive in communication and very clean. She is organized in her approach taking the most care with instructions including giving medicine. She looked after my large cane corso dog soon after surgery. I really appreciate her!”
“We would give Perry 10 stars out of 5 if possible. He was very professional and knowledgeable. Asked great questions during the meet and greet which showed he cared the pups received great care. He communicated frequently and gave great updates. We came home two two very happy and healthy pups. Would 100% work with Perry again”

“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 ☺️!”
“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.”

“Susanne was fantastic! She was communicative and went above and beyond to make sure our older pups were taken care of while we were away. Our home was spotless when we returned. As first time rover users, she made the process painless. Highly recommend!”
About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and patience I have for every pet I care for. I treat them like my own, taking time to make sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable. I’m great with all ages—from playful puppies who need guidance and fun, to senior pets who need a slower, gentle, and caring touch. I always adjust to their needs and personality. I also love keeping pet parents updated with photos and messages so you always know your furry baby is safe, loved, and in good hands. Taking care of pets fits easily into my daily routine because I truly enjoy spending time with animals. I love going on walks, playing, giving belly rubs and cuddles, and making sure every pet feels happy, safe, and loved. Caring for them never feels like work—it’s something I genuinely look forward to every day! I care for every pet like they’re part of my own family. I love getting to know their unique personalities and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s going for walks, playing with their favorite toys, giving cuddles, sticking to their feeding routine, or just keeping them company, I’m happy to do whatever helps them feel at home. I also love sending photos and little updates so you can relax knowing your furry friend is happy and in good hands.
“Mystic was wonderful! All of my (detailed) instructions were read ahead of our meet and greet, giving me confidence that my pup would have a great stay. During the stay, I received regular updates and pic/videos to let me know how she was doing. Mystic was incredibly flexible with both drop off and pickup and worked with me when my plane was delayed by several hours. When I came home, I could tell my pup was happy and well cared for.”
“Aik was amazing! He handled my dog’s unexpected quirks with ease!!! I can tell she was loved and very well cared for. Plus he took great care of my house too! Would recommend and rebook anytime. Thanks Aik!!!!”
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.
About: I've always had dogs in my life. I can provide you and your pet with efficient service. Feeding, walking, checking in, bathing, and anything else you might mention. Let’s work together to make your dog enjoy their time while you’re away. I’m reliable, attentive, and flexible with my schedule, and I’d be happy to discuss the details! Your dog will be attended to with care. I’d be happy to help care for your dog and would prioritize their safety, comfort, and routine while keeping you updated throughout the stay.
“Jaron took great care of Chance and my home, sending multiple daily updates. He got my lazy dog to go out for walks and kept him on his regular schedule and made sure he got his meds as well as other care items. Jaron left no trace after almost a week!”
“Jessica was super respectful of our home, took wonderful care of our high energy dog and checked in regularly, asking great questions that showed she really cared about our dog and home. Definitely the best Rover sitter we’ve ever had!”
About: A chance to pick up extra doggies I have a fenced yard and live right down the street from the beach. Your dogs safety is at the highest priority when they are with me. Typical day The furr babies and I walk up for a morning hike around 6am or 7am leave to fort funston or half moon bay trails for a hike that typically last 1hr 30 min In the afternoon we hang out relax like doggy day care and Typically around 3 we go out for another little walk 30 min to 45 min At night time around 7-9 we go on the night walk that typically last around 1hr 30 min Through out the day dogs are roaming free. I never leave them unattended.when no walks or anything is going on. They are hanging out with other dogs and living their best life on doggy vacay with me. Dogs are ONLY kenneled through the night if needed or if that is their usual routine. High possibility they will be sleeping in the bed with me . Unless you don’t like them on furniture. I abide by everything you already have set with the puparoo. I also let out for potty breaks at night Old dogs / dogs with obesities / disabilities get a whole different treatment. 3 x 30 min walks so we don’t over work. If walking is not an option for the puparoo that is totally fine as well. I am very transparent and flexible and love to work with my furr babies families. Don’t hesitate to reach out. I am quick to respond. I am currently going to school at skyline college from Home so it allows me to take pupparoos for boarding. My schedule is always open for new boardings I have a fenced backyard/ fully supervised 24/7. Love to have them near me and around also making me just a huge dog lover. I
“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 am experienced in providing gentle, including walks to the parks and beaches, while maintaining a calm and comfortable environment inside home and outside home. My job requires me a peculiar freedom to have a flexible schedule. I am morning person and love going in evening strolls regardless of sorting setting. In my home, I create a fun and safe space for pets, with cozy spots to relax, play, and eat. They get fresh water, regular walks, and all the love and attention they could ask for! I stick to their routine to keep them happy and stress-free. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I make sure they feel right at home, following their usual routine. From daily walks and playtime to feeding and cuddles, I keep everything tidy and comfy. I want them to feel relaxed and loved while their owner’s away!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Pacifica
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!!!
We wanted to have more than 1 house/dog sitter that is familiar with our dogs and our home, so we decided to reach out to Antonio for a recent trip to the East Coast. He responded very quickly and came over for a meet and greet to get to know our dogs' personalities and familiarize himself with our home. I was happy when he agreed to house/dog sit for us. While we were gone, Antonio did a great job of sharing photos and videos of him cuddling with the dogs and during their walks, which I'm sure our dogs enjoyed. When we arrived home, the house was very clean and tidy, and the dogs seemed very happy and well cared for. We have a long trip coming up in the Fall, and some holiday travels as well. We are hoping that Antonio will accept these sitter request once I enter them into the Rover system.
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!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Pacifica is $54 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $127 per night. 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.

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 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.

- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 94% 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.
