“Rae did a great job with our little girl. She spent lots of time with her and got to know her well. She sent us photo and video updates daily. We will use her again.”
“I had to book last minute due to a family emergency. I am so grateful that Jalen was available. He has been the only sitter who can handle my dog Panther. He doesn’t get frustrated nor act scared. He takes really great care of all my dogs. He is very communicative, sends plenty of pictures and videos, gives updates when needed. As long as he is available and willing I will definitely book with him.”
“Jennifer was professional and provided updates every day while we were away. Our 3 dogs played their hearts out and were taken care of the way we wanted. Jennifer was reliable and gave us the peace of mind we needed!”
About: I've cared for family dogs most of my life which has left me with an abundance of experience with caring for dogs. I had a beautiful 13 year old pug, who I was the main caregiver for, who passed away in 2021 due to cancer. Since then, I have slowly begun to care for other people's dogs and I am absolutely loving it! My availability is currently open so it is a great time to book me! My general availability is: Mondays 8:30am-8:30pm Tuesdays-Fridays 8:30am-8:30pm Saturdays 10am-7pm Sundays 10am-7pm If your dog is more like your baby, I've got you both covered! I provide quality pet care and attentiveness to your dogs' overall wellbeing and safety. I have an overflowing supply of love and patience for animals! I look forward to meeting you and your pup!
“Stephanie did a great job house sitting for us on short notice. The dogs, the cat, and the house were all well taken care of. We got updates and photos daily and felt comfortable right from our meet and greet. We'd definitely book again!”
“Allison did an amazing job taking care of our puppy dog while we were away for Thanksgiving. She sent us lots of photos and our baby girl clearly adored her. We felt at ease knowing she was in good hands.”
“We loved Karen! We have two dogs that need to be kept separate so I have always been very nervous about leaving them with a stranger. Karen made me feel so comfortable being away. She sent photos of the dogs and checked in with us everyday. Karen is very attentive to each dogs needs and came by to do a “meet and greet.” Will definitely use her in the future! We are very happy with Karen.”
“Josette has been our go-to Pet Sitter for over a year. She takes great care of our pets and is also respectful of our space. She cleans up after our pets outside and sprays down the messes. She also cleans up after herself and washes the linens, when we don’t expect her to do so. She is all around a kind, considerate, and a thoughtful professional. I highly recommend Josette as your Pet Sitter.”
“Val was very communicative and professional. Our pups warmed up to her quickly and we got lots of updates with pictures while she was house sitting. Will be using her service in the future.”
“This is our second time with Dustin and again he was amazing! Our dog really loves him, and he is so respectful and responsive, and takes great care with our pet and our home. 5 stars!! We will rebook him for sure!”
“We had a wonderful experience! Luci was incredibly communicative while we were away, sending regular photos and updates that gave us so much peace of mind. Our dog was well cared for, and it was clear she treated our home and pet with great care. We would absolutely recommend her and would happily book with her again!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Potrero
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of June 2026, there are 2,807 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Potrero. 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 Potrero 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 Potrero 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 Potrero 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.

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.
