“Meagan did a great job pet sitting in our home over the Christmas holiday! We were very happy with how well she cared for our two dogs and how promptly she communicated with me. She was very good about replying to my texts or phone calls and she sent us updates and photos of our pets. She also left our home exactly how we left it. It was great to be able to leave town and know our dogs were safe and happy in the comfort of their own home. We would definitly use her again in the future!”
“Miraya was so attentive and took really good care of my baby Posie! She was amazing and very informative with so many in-depth updates, it was so nice and comforting knowing Posie was in good hands!”
About: Hello, my name is Claudia! I’ve always had pets around me growing up, so pet sitting is something I truly enjoy! I work from home so I can easily keep an eye on your pet and provide company, walks, playtime, and cuddles! I’ll work around your schedule and preference regarding updates and specific instructions to keep your pet happy and safe. :) Since I work from home, I’m very flexible. Whether it’s drop-ins, walks, or hanging out, your pet gets all the attention and company they need. Your pet’s comfort and safety are my top priorities! Pets get a cozy space to relax while I supervise everything. If I’m at your place, I stick to your rules and routine so your pet feels safe, happy, and stress-free.
About: I've been a dog owner for 15 years now and there is nothing more that I love to spend time on than taking them on walking and hiking adventures all around the town and surrounding areas. And I would love to do the same with your dogs if you give me that opportunity. Your dogs will create a new space in my heart and together we will create some fun and healthy adventures with all the joy and sweetness that your dog deserves. I will be available full time at anytime of the day 7 days a week. Dogs are my life and I went to make this job my life as well. I will give every possible effort to be the best care taker for your beloved dog. Dogs are my world and I will care for your dogs as if they were my world with utmost love and sweetness and with the highest degree of kindness.
About: I create a calm, safe, and cozy environment. I keep a routine, offer plenty of comfort, and make sure anxious or shy pups or kitties feel comfortable. I currently work from home and have plenty of time to provide top notch care to your fur babies! I am available any time! Weekdays or weekends, day or nights! I have a fenced in clean cut yard and small playful older dogs and a couple of curious cats. My home is full of love!
About: Whether you would like your pup taken on a walk, your guinea pig visited with, or your cat needs a trip to the vet, I’m your gal. Living on a farm since my childhood and now owning one myself has given me more than ample experience with a wide variety of animals to include, horses, donkeys, goats, sheep, cattle, pigs, alpacas, llamas, cats, dogs, rabbits, guinea pigs, turkeys, chickens, guinea hens, peacocks, and even exotics like kangaroos and camels. My services include, but are not limited to: Dog walks, cat visits, feeding, administration of medication, holding horses for the farrier, paddock and stall cleaning, transportation to and from the vet or groomer, plant watering, mail pick-up. Any services not listed that you need customized to the care of your pet can be arranged. I have great flexibility to meet your scheduling needs based on my bookings. For holidays I recommend reserving services in advance. I do schedule 24/7 at any hour if I have not been previously scheduled. I treat every animal as if it is my own pet taking extra precautions to ensure their safety and eliminate any cause for a dangerous situation to arise.
About: Growing up, I had almost every kind of pet you could imagine, but dogs were always a constant. My first best friend was a chihuahua mix named Princess. I cared for her until she crossed the rainbow bridge at the age of 12. I’m currently looking for full time employment, but in the mean time, I’m spending a lot of time at home! So I have lots of flexibility in regards to scheduling. I live in a house with a yard and currently do not have any pets (let me love yours!!!) There are a few parks around my place if walks are required, or plenty of yard space to explore on a leash.
About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs through both personal and family pets. I have owned and cared for my own dog for the past six years, giving me experience with daily feeding, walking, grooming, exercise, administering basic care, and recognizing changes in behavior or health. I am comfortable around dogs of different sizes and personalities and understand the importance of providing patient, attentive, and reliable care. My weekly routine may vary due to school but I will be sure to keep my schedule updated at all times to ensure consistency and communication. My yard is fenced and there is plenty of space for your pet to run around, my dog is also friendly and enjoys having company.
About: Every pet is unique, so I tailor my approach to their specific needs, personality, and routine. From high-energy dogs needing long walks to shy cats requiring quiet playtime, I adapt to keep them comfortable and happy. I’m currently available Monday - Friday after 4:30 PM & Saturday’s 11:00 AM-2:00PM. I will be a full time student in the spring semester. But I am really good in prioritizing my schedule I love dogs.🥹 I live in a 3 bed room home. I have a backyard if needed and have a kennel I can easily crate your dog if needed.
“Develyn was great! She took a good amount of time before the booking to get to know my dogs and allow them to adjust to her while I was there, which helped me feel comfortable leaving my pups in her care! She kept me updated throughout her stay on how the dogs were and sent pictures throughout! She also left the house cleaner than when she arrived which was so nice to come home to! I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter (both home and pups)!!!”

About: I have 19 years of experience caring for dogs and other pets for family, friends, and neighbors.

About: I’ve recently decided to do this full-time while pursuing a masters soon, so I’m home all day to give your babies the attention they need here or at your place!!! Unlike a lot of sitters in the area, I have a large, open concept house that’s not cluttered & very dog friendly. I also have a 0.3 acre fenced in backyard that’s well maintained & tidy that the dogs can play in (see safety, trust & environment section). I also love to do walks & drop in visits & play with your furry pets. I do this to keep myself from rescuing more animals from the shelters since I’ve already got 5 of my own 😋 I’ve grown up my entire life with all kinds of pets from cats & dogs to birds and farm animals. I used to work at an exotic animal sanctuary but now only volunteer there where animal behavior and safety are key. All throughout high school and college, I shadowed small animal veterinarians and became a veterinary technician for a while before chasing my dream of working with exotic animals. Over the years, I’ve trained puppies and also offered palliative care to older dogs who weren’t able to get around or who have recently had surgery. I can handle a dog of any age and health. I've adminstered medications, given shots, taken out stitches, done general grooming, and taken care of our neighbors' and friend's animals. I’ve taken care of a couple dogs who were blind &/or deaf in a clinical setting. Animals are my passion, and I will treat your babies like my own. I am home all week & available to play with, love on, & let the dogs out whenever they need to go. I still go to the exotic animal sanctuary occasionally to volunteer, but my schedule can be planned around the animals staying with me. They will be my priority and have my attention. My end goal is to have my own animal rescue with dogs, goats, horses, & maybe some other animals once I’m able to buy a farm. I am an animal person through & through. I’ve only ever met one dog in my 30yrs of life who didn’t like me 😋 The first thing I do in the morning is take care of my animals. The dogs get fed once a day & let outside any time they want to go. The youngest dog uses a potty bell, so he lets us know when we needs to go out. As far as their day to day goes, they stay out of their crates unless we’re both out of the house for a really long time & just get to play or lay around all day. The oldest has crate anxiety, so he is never crated & always freely roams the house. We have a surplus of toys for them to play with and a huge fenced in backyard (~0.4 acres of just yard) for them to play in. There is a pool in my backyard, so I always stay outside with them when I have Rover clients to make sure no one jumps in (although I do allow swimming if client is okay with it; have life vests & a smaller doggie pool). The house can also be sectioned off to restrict access or separate animals, for their comfort (ie stress, nap time, feeding times), as it is almost 2700 sq ft. I don’t crate animals unless instructed by the owner to do so. Plenty of updates will be sent(:
About: Hello!!! I love animals I’ve had cats and dogs growing up my whole life so I’m pretty familiar with their care! I know how frustrating it is having to ask someone u know to put a stop in their day to help u out but sometimes it’s better to stress free and just hire someone who will devote their time to ur loved ones 💝💝 Im pretty much free availability for right now due to being laid off so anything can work, for the time being. As per overnight stays or just checking in during the day I would love to make sure their bathroom areas are clean and well kept, their food and water always being fresh and making sure nothing is out of the ordinary

FAQs for House Sitting - Rancho Viejo
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Rancho Viejo on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 79 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Rancho Viejo. 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 Rancho Viejo 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 Rancho Viejo 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 Rancho Viejo 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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
