About: Hi! I love pets and want to make sure your pet is well taken care of while you are out of town. I have owned dogs since I was 9 years old. I have dog sat since I was 8 years old when I would watch my neighbor's dog for a month at a time while they went on business trips. Also I have owned large dogs and have experienced taking care of elder dogs. friends and employers have relied on me to watch their animals, feed, water, walk...ect I am a college graduate and am a stay at home mom. I have a flexible schedule to walk and or run your dog in the morning or evening ! Let me know know how I can help! I can come to your house and Run or Walk your dog depending on its needs as well as feed, bathe and give him/her lots of love.
“Holly was absolutely wonderful and took great care with our elder Rosco! He adjusted to our being gone and started to follow Holly around to regularly keep track of her. We had her house sit as well since Rosco takes medicine regularly for seizures and she left the house cleaner than when she arrived! Definitely recommend and will certainly be using her services for all of our trips!”
“The care Beth provided to our dogs was exceptional. Her commitment to ensuring their well-being while we were away was outstanding and evidenced by their calm, relaxed, happy state upon our return. The ability to be worry-free and knowing without a doubt that our dogs are safe and happy while we are away from home is essential, though not easy to come by. Beth gave us that and we look forward to having her care for our pups again (and again) in the future.”
About: I've always loved animals and have experience caring for pets for friends, family, and my own. I have two cats and have cared for my boyfriend's two cats for about a year, as well as a friend's cat for another year. I am also comfortable caring for dogs and enjoy spending time with pets of different personalities and energy levels. I currently offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting at the clients home. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, feeding, cleaning litter boxes, or simply having someone keep them company, I will make sure they receive the care and attention they need while you are away. I know every pet has a different routine, and I am very detail oriented, so I will always take the time to follow your instructions and help them feel safe and comfortable. I currently work part-time, so I have a flexible schedule and can spend quality time with your pets. My goal is to treat every pet like they are my own and provide reliable, loving care. I will also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind while you are away. I look forward to meeting you and your lovely pets! I currently work part-time, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your pets. I'm available for morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend visits, and I can work around your pet's normal routine to make sure they get the attention and care they deserve. I've always loved animals and know how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for them. I take the time to learn each pet's routine and personality so they feel as comfortable as possible while you're away. I have two cats, a bearded dragon, and a frog, so caring for animals is a part of my everyday life. I'll treat your pets like they're my own, keep your home clean and respected, and send plenty of updates and photos so you know they're happy and doing well.
About: From reptiles to rodents and four legged creatures, I cared for multiple animals that I think I considers myself Snow White…All jokes aside I truly adore animals and have nurtured them with all my love and patience. Although I am a college student ! My availability is open to any precious creature who needs care or even some attention for pet parents who aren’t able too, I am more than happy to provide that for the pet and the owner. It all depends on the clients needs, I’m able to adjust to any changes or specific requirements. Of course, if there is any concerns for the pets safety I would be willing to make accommodations in order to ensure their safety.
“Heather is fantastic. My pups loved having her stay with them. Heather is responsive and you never feel like they are not cared for. She stays in contact and gives updates. The idea of leaving your pets worry free is amazing. Thank you Heather!”
About: I enjoy long walks, reading by any body of water and I absolutely LOVE animals. I have dog/ cat/ bird/ house sat for neighbors and family members in the past and I am great at running errands too! I am currently a full time college student and a part time behavioral therapist for kiddos with ASD. I am in the process of saving up for medical school and a study abroad trip for next summer. I am respectful of ALL rules and requests you may have for your pet and home. I treat all pets as family members and prioritize their safety above all else.
“Glynda did a great job with our two high maintenance little dogs. One of them requires multiple eye drops and eye massages daily. The house looked exactly as I left it. We are very pleased and hope Glynda will be available the next time we travel.”
“If there were 10 stars to give, Mayumi would get all. She was fabulous! She bathed my baby regularly, took her for walks, sent me photos and videos, and when I came home, my home was as I left it and Saji was in happy spirits, well-fed and healthy. I will definitely keep Mayumi as my prime contact for when I need someone to care for Saji. I highly recommend her!”
About: I have taken care of cats since I was about 10 years old and dogs since I was about 13. Shortly after I moved out I adopted puppy then a kitten. It was definitely fun training my own puppy. I am currently a stay at home mom who also homeschools my kids. Our dogs are taken out for walks during the day and night. We love playing and cuddling with our cats and dogs throughout our school day. We crate our dogs when we are not home. If your pet is needed to be in a crate when you are not home, I can ensure that will happen.
About: I'm a certified dog trainer and am Pet first CPR certified. I have been a dog trainer for over 13. I am passionate about animals and treating them like family. You can rest assured that your furry baby will get all the love, attention and safety when they are with me. I will treat them like they are my own pups, I know I'd want the same for my two dogs.

I'm located in northern San Diego, Ca and will travel to different areas of San Diego.

I have my certificate from Animal behavioral college and have been training dogs of all ages and temperaments for over 6 years. Im a dog trainer and control my own schedule so depending on your animals needs I can be home with them majority of the day. Going on walks, play time, cuddles. Giving them the sam routine they are use to with you. If there are any safety rules you have for your pet I make sure to follow them. When on walks with dogs they are always on leash and we don't say hi to other dogs for safety.
About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was 9 years old, my family and neighbors allowed me to take care of them and take them for walks and since I was a child I have learned to give them the best care and make them feel the best way possible. I’m currently working part-time, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups. I’m available on weekends and weekdays from 8am to 4 pm. I will make sure to give your dog a good experience, I will focus on them having fun, socializing, and finishing the walk with the best attitude.
About: Over the 15 years I’ve been house sitting professionally, I’ve had the pleasure of caring for puppies to sr. dogs, kittens to sr. cats, lizards, fish, birds, and even farm animals. My goal when I care for your pet is to keep your pet in the routine to which they are accustomed. That means I follow your written instructions, as far their feeding time, walk time, etc. Though, I also want your vacation to feel like a staycation for your pet. That means I’m going to have fun with them whether that means giving them belly rubs, playing fetch with them or playing other fun games with them. Also, please note that you can hire me for overnights, dog walks, or both. So, my price for overnight stays is to stay in your home and care for your pet, but dog walking is separate from overnight stays. During my stay, as much as I will care for you pet(s), I will also care for your home. I’m happy to water any plants, bring in any deliveries/mail, take out the trash and other light chores (I won’t mow your lawn). I work for myself writing online content for people, so my work goes where I go. The only thing I ask is that you have an Internet connection and someplace where I can set up my computer. As far as caring for pets in my home, I am only able to board certain breeds of dogs, and that is contingent on the permission of the homeowner. I am unable to care for cats in my home, but I would be able to come to your home.. In general, I always care for your pet according to your schedule and preference. And I am always sure to adjust my schedule according to the schedule you set for me to ensure your pet receives optimal care. But the key to pet sitting is to emulate the routine to which the dog is already accustomed. My goal is that when you go on vacation your pet(s) will feel like they're on a staycation. Also, please note while I charge $65 per day, I charge separately for walks ($20 per walk). For pets that do not require walks (cats, sr. dogs, etc), I charge $75 a day.
About: Note: I am new to Rover but have years of independent and TrustedHousesitters experience. Please message me for a link to a page with my reviews, availability calendar, and more. I have a lifetime of experience caring for animals, including dogs, cats, exotics, and farm animals. I have a strong, empathetic bond with animals, particularly dogs and cats, that helps me attune to their cues and needs. I offer Walking, Feeding, Playtime, Dog Park Visits, Basic Grooming & Training, and Problem Solving with my daily rate. I am experienced with dogs of all ages and abilities, including puppies, seniors, and dogs with disabilities or health conditions (arthritis, blindness, allergies, skin conditions, etc). Under my nurturing care, your dog will get the loving, knowledgeable, and detail oriented care they deserve. I am a nomad and full time pet sitter. This means that my schedule is flexible to accomodate your pet's specific routine & needs. I will spend the majority of my time with your pet, either at home or out and about (at parks, trails, dog friendly businesses, etc) so they ever feel alone. <3 In my free time, I like to read, crochet, do puzzles, cook, and explore nature! I am well known by my pet sitting clients as a reliable, tidy, and trusted sitter-always leaving animals and homes in equal or better condition than they were before. I have precise attention to detail when it comes to following instructions and hold myself to a high standard. I also regularly communicate and send updates with photos, allowing you peace of mind while you travel.
“Marissa was excellent! She was incredibly responsive, sent lots of updates throughout the day, and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. The moment she walked into our home, we knew Peanut was going to be in great hands. Peanut warmed up to her almost immediately and happily spent the entire day with her. Everything went flawlessly, and it was clear that she genuinely cared about him and made his comfort a priority. We would highly recommend Marissa to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring sitter and would absolutely book with her again in the future!”
“Kala was amazing and took such good care of my pup while I was gone! She is incredibly sweet and so communicative. Got such amazing updates on Rue’s day which consisted of walks, going to the beach, and lots of attention. I know my pup was well loved being there!”
“Both of our fuzzies we're happy and well cared for and our house was safe and sound. Toya communicated regularly and let us know how everything was going, just as we requested. We look forward to working with Toya again and recommend her services. ♥️”
“Emma is the sweetest! I have a very high maintenance dog who takes time a while for him to warm up to most people. Her experience enabled her to build a quick rapport with my dog. She was also a great communicator . I would highly recommend Emma. I will be using her again.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Rincon
We had a wonderful experience with Julianna! She was very communicative throughout our trip, sending updates and photos that gave us peace of mind. She was gentle and attentive to our senior girl’s needs (including meds), and it really showed in how relaxed our pup was when we got home. On top of that, the house was absolutely spotless when we returned. We’d happily book with her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 3,349 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Rincon. 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 Rincon 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 Rincon 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 Rincon 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.
