“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.”
“Caroline took amazing care of our two fur babies! I appreciated her daily updates and pictures while we were away. When we arrived back home, our house was clean and our animals were very happy. Would definitely book Caroline again to watch our pets again!”
About: I love animals and being able to meet new dogs and cats is one of the sweetest things in life. I’ve had pets all my life and currently have one dog and cat. I can assure that I’ll take the same care of your pets as I do mine. I was a housesitter for three years on another popular site and I had 5 stars. I’ve also been the go-to person for my friends to watch their animals when they leave town. I am calm, dependable and responsible and enthused to meet your pets. Looking forward to chatting! I am a homebody and also work from home. I have time to help check in on your pets or to stay with them. I adore animals. I prefer to check in on pets or stay in your home. I have one cat at my home and she isn’t always the best host. I have a Fingerprint Clearance Card and have been a House sitter for multiple years. Both of those things entail background checks. I am responsible, mellow, and kind.
“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 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!”
About: I excel in providing personalized care, whether it's handling high-energy dogs, training puppies, or offering gentle attention to senior pets. I pay attention to detail to ensure that each pet’s unique needs are met, giving owners peace of mind while they're away. Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine since I work from home and have a flexible schedule. This allows me to provide consistent attention and care throughout the day, ensuring pets get the love and supervision they need. Whether it's a walk, playtime, or special care, I'm available to adapt to their needs. I prioritize maintaining the pet's familiar routine and environment. I follow specific instructions closely, ensuring the pet feels secure and well-cared-for. I also provide updates to keep owners informed and at ease. Whether in my home or theirs, I treat every pet like family.
“Lorenzo did a great job of spending time with the dogs and taking care of the house. He left a charging cord at the house, and when he came by to pick up the cord, I could tell by the reaction of the dogs that they had a great time with Lorenzo and that they missed him. Hopefully Lorenzo will be available to watch Bella and Marlie in the future.”
“Silvia was great with our crazy dogs. She communicated well and we felt confident in the care she provided on such an important weekend for us. Excited to have her stay again.”
About: I grew up on a farm in Colombia, where I was surrounded by animals from a very young age. Caring for dogs, cats, and other animals has always been a natural part of my life. I am attentive, patient, responsible, and affectionate with pets, and I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I can provide feeding, playtime, walks, companionship, and basic care according to each pet’s needs. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and treating them like family. I am available to care for pets in the mornings from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM at the owner’s home. I can also take dogs for walks, provide companionship, feed them, and make sure they are comfortable and well cared for during my visit. I am reliable, responsible, and enjoy spending time with animals. I always prioritize the safety and well-being of every pet. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully, ensure pets have fresh water, food, and exercise, and keep them in a safe environment. During walks, I use secure leashes and pay close attention to their needs and behavior.

“Claudia did an amazing job, and I couldn't be happier with her pet sitting!🫶🏻 She went completely out of her way to make sure Mila had a great day. I mentioned that Mila loves walks, and Claudia took her on a mission for a puppuccino and she went to three different cafes just to find one! ☺️ Her communication was also fantastic. She sent me pictures throughout the day, and whenever I asked for an update, she immediately shared their exact whereabouts along with videos. I also loved checking the puppy cam and seeing Claudia get right down on the floor to give my 10-pound poodle her undivided attention. Once the day was over, she made sure to message me confirming that Mila was home safe and sound. 🐾 I came home to a calm, happy, and delightfully tired dog after a full day of adventure. ❤️ I have absolute confidence in Claudia and will definitely be booking her again. Highly recommend! 🤗”
“Our dog immediately became best friends with Casey at the meet and greet which put us at ease. Casey housesat for our dog for 3 nights. When we returned home, our dog was happy, healthy, and clearly well-cared-for. It was clear that Casey followed all of Cookie’s care instructions and gave her plenty of attention. Additionally, the house was in better condition than when we left it.”
About: Hi! I’d love the opportunity to care for your dog. I’m dependable, experienced with many different breeds and personalities, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with pets. I also have a strong reputation from past clients who appreciate my reliability and care. Whether it’s walks, sitting, or just giving your dog attention and comfort, I always treat every pet like my own. I have over 5 years of experience caring for pets and I just joined Rover to continue doing what I love most. I’d be happy to help and make sure your dog is safe, happy, and well cared for! I work a hybrid schedule. I work from home Monday and Tuesday, but need to be in the office from 9-5pm on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursdays. I groom dogs on the weekends as my side hustle, but have lots of flexibility to take care of dogs. I have a patio, balcony, and lots of great sniffing spots to explore in our neighborhood. The neighborhood is safe and very dog friendly . I have a loving home with plenty of space for your dog to roam around and feel comfortable.
About: My life has included dogs since before I could walk. I was able to care for dogs professionally for about 6 years as one of my part time jobs. I had to stop for awhile due to school and a full time job. I miss having dogs apart of my daily life & look forward to caring for your fur babies I work a 9-5 but take long lunch breaks that allow me to go check up on my fur friends. Have enough time in the morning to let them out. And very open evenings for walks & fun. Having the pet in their own home allows for comfortability while getting to know them. Having their every day products, foods and treats at hand makes an easy access to give.
“We got home to a very happy dog (Oscar)! We’re so thankful for Michelle’s kindness. She’s has a gentle spirit that I can left Oscar at ease in his own home. She’s awesome!”
“Danielle was great with my anxious pup! She made herself available at the last minute after another sitter cancelled, and I felt completely comfortable leaving Adare with her for the day. We'd have her back in a heartbeat.”
“Clive is the best! He takes care of our dog like his own, we know our dog is well loved, lots of walks, play time, and cuddles. It’s truly the best gift of peace of mind to leave your dog with someone you know you can trust, and for us that is Clive!”

Sophia is an incredible dog caretaker, sitter and house guest. She is attentive, proactive in communication and very clean. She is organized in her approach taking the most care with instructions including giving medicine. She looked after my large cane corso dog soon after surgery. I really appreciate her!
We’re really lucky to have Esther come over to take care of our two dogs. She’s caring, responsible, and has great experience with dogs. She sent pictures/videos of our dogs daily. She also voluntarily cared for our chickens and consistently kept our place clean and tidy. I highly recommend Esther for House Sitting!
Katrina did an amazing job with our pets!!! She took care of them like they were her own and provided plenty of information/pictures. She went above and beyond to help us out and make sure we came home to a clean home after a quick trip. Will definitely book again!!!
Alia is absolutely amazing! If I could clone Alia and have her every time our pups need watching, I would. Not only did she maneuver a vet situation, but she was so resourceful and very communicative throughout the week. I couldn't ask for a better pet sitting experience. If I could give Alia 10 stars, I would!
Berra could not have been better with our two dogs. They adored her immediately! She has experience with large breeds which was very important to us. She was responsive, arrived right on time, made sure our boys got plenty of exercise and affection. We got plenty of updates and photos. She left the house cleaner than when she arrived and we can't wait to have her back again. HIGHLY recommend!!! Thank you Berra!!
Leila is absolutely amazing! She took care of my two dogs and cat for seven days and didn’t break a sweat! She followed instructions to a T! My pets absolutely love her! Leila is responsible, caring and just an amazing person! Her positive energy and smile are infectious!!
Catherine was an amazing sitter for my dog, Finn!! He felt very comfortable with her and she was so so welcoming to him! She sent updates of Finn and made sure he ate and went potty! She also took him on walks and took him on an adventure! We will be asking her to watch him in the future!
Sarah has a way with dogs and people! She is extremely kind, patient, and curious. She sent regular updates with photos and videos, so we were always in the loop on how our dog was doing. Sarah went the extra mile to make sure our dog was happy. Outside of his regular walks, she took him to the park and put treats in his toy so he was entertained. You can tell she has a genuine love for dogs! Would happily recommend her and work with her 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 San Bruno 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 San Bruno 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 San Bruno 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!

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 .
