“Marlisha is easy to communicate with and she is a wonderful person and dog sitter. She took well care of my house and puppy when I was away for two nights. I highly recommend Marlisha.”
“Antonio was awesome! An excellent communicator, quick to respond, provided daily updates and pictures and asked questions if needed. He left our house immaculate and our pets relaxed, clean and happy. Highly recommended for pet sitting or dog walking!”

“Meghann is wonderful......I lost my house sitter so I started searching on line and found Rover. We were offered the ability to interview any of their sitter/walkers before making a decision. We loved Meghann, she met with us twice and left us confident with leaving our furry friends and our home to her. She was wonderful and we are going to use her for future travels. I would recommend anyone searching for a qualified sitter to log into Rover and use Meghann.”
“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!!!”
“Ajani house sat and took great care of my dog Brodie while I was out for a few hours. He was very empathetic to the fact that Brodie can be highly anxious and quite a handful at times. Still, he went the extra mile to communicate updates with me and to ensure Brodie was treated with care. Would highly recommend Ajani for anyone in a similar situation. Thank you Ajani!”
“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 :)”
About: I have loved cats all my life, having one of my kitties live till he was 19. I always throw my 4 cats birthday parties, and care for other cats for friends and clients, who continue to rebook visits. I really enjoy it. I take care of lots of cats! It is my main priority and have taken care of 12 cat clients in the past year. On the side, I do hospitality freelance work, scheduling around my kitty watching. More than just food, clean water and catbox, the cats get lots of snuggles. Im especially good with shy cats, letting them feel safe in their home. And during every visit, the client will always receive a picture of their fur baby.
“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 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.
“Karina was great with my Frenchie, Mac! She took really good care of him, made sure he was comfortable, and even gave him his flea medication while I was away. I felt totally comfortable knowing he was in good hands. She was really attentive and caring, and I’d definitely have her watch Mac again!”
“Hope pet sat our three dogs and two cats while we were away for 2 weeks. She was very communicative, sent lots of updates and pictures, and we felt very comfortable with her house sitting. All the pets loved her too!”
About: After relocating from Santa Cruz, where I operated a pet care business, I am now in South City and eager to meet new clients on Rover. I have cared for dogs of all sizes and temperaments throughout my life. Friends, neighbors, and family have relied on me for walks, feeding, overnight stays, and basic manners. I currently run Munchies’ Playhouse and live with two small dogs so I understand pack energy, leash reactivity, and dogs needing extra patience. We are within walking distance of Orange Dog Park for daily play and also have a private fenced yard, allowing socialization or quiet time depending on your dog’s preference. We often visit the beach and go hiking for exercise, but a separate quiet room is available if your dog prefers rest. I am comfortable with puppies, seniors, medication reminders, and dogs that do better on separate walks in their own neighborhood. All sizes are welcome. I send photo and video updates so you always know how your pet is doing. I’m home 7 days a week, so pet care isn’t squeezed around another job, your dog can have as much time as they need. I offer weekday and weekend walks, drop-ins, daycare, and boarding, and I can usually do mornings, afternoons, or evenings. I plan around my own two dogs’ routines so everyone stays exercised and calm. Last-minute or extra visits are welcome when my calendar is open. Meet-and-greets required first so we can lock in a schedule that actually works for your pup. In my home, visiting dogs have a calm indoor space plus a private fenced yard. My two small resident dogs (a Shih Tzu and a Chiweenie) can keep your pup company if they’re social, or we have a separate room if they do better on their own or need a quiet place to rest. I follow your routine for feeding, meds, potty breaks, and crating. Walks are on-leash unless you say otherwise; dogs who need it get their own walk. We’re also walking distance from Orange Dog Park for playtime when that’s a good fit. I watch energy, appetite, and behavior closely and send photo/video updates so you always know how they’re doing.
“We had such a great experience with our sitter Sarah! She has such a warm, charismatic presence that immediately put us at ease. Our puppy is usually very shy and slow to warm up to new people, but she was incredibly attentive and patient with him. Because of that, he quickly began to trust her. We really appreciated the care and effort she put into making him feel comfortable and safe. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone and would happily book with her again!”
“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!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Pacifica is $75

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!!
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!

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 , 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.

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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
