“Nikka is a gem!! She was extremely communicative and sent me regular updates while watching our two large dogs and bird while we were out of town. She is trustworthy, caring, and made me feel so comfortable being away from my fur babies. I highly recommend booking Nikka if she is available.”
“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.”
“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 ☺️!”
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!

I have used Nikka as a house/dog sitter twice. She is really exceptional and I highly recommend her. She is very loving and caring for my dog, who adores her. Takes her for lots of walks and beach adventures. Nikka sends lots of photos and videos, which I appreciate.
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Pacifica on Rover is $58.85 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 7,567 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.
