About: Hi! I’m Taryn! I’m an experienced and compassionate pet caregiver with a lifelong love for animals — especially rescues. Over the past 13 years, I’ve owned and cared for three very different dogs (a chihuahua, dachshund mix, and shepherd mix), so I understand that every dog has their own personality, needs, and boundaries. I’m comfortable adjusting care based on your dog — whether that means a short, gentle walk for a senior pup or a long, active outing to burn energy. I also have hands-on experience with dogs who have leash or food aggression, and I always approach care with patience, awareness, and respect for each dog’s comfort level. As of 6/1/2026 I have a Certificate of Completion from the American Red Cross Cat and Dog First Aid (online) In addition, one of my dogs, Shadow, has seizures, so I’m familiar with staying calm in high-stress situations, monitoring for symptoms, and providing attentive, responsive care when it matters most. I understand how important it is to trust someone with a pet who has extra needs. I’ve also helped care for friends’ dogs of all sizes and breeds — from small terriers to larger dogs like pit bulls — and feel confident handling a wide range of temperaments. I’m happy to provide: • Walks tailored to your dog’s energy level • Feeding and routine care • Medication (depending on type) • Baths and brushing • Calm, attentive care for anxious or special needs pets • Plenty of love and companionship Beyond dogs, I have 20+ years of experience with cats. I’ve volunteered with Homeless Cat Network and fostered for Coastside Feral Care. Fun fact: Every animal I’ve cared for or owned has been a rescue — I have a special place in my heart for them and understand the extra patience and care they sometimes need. ________________________________________ 🐾 Why pet parents choose me • Experience with multiple breeds and temperaments • Comfortable with reactive and special needs dogs • Firsthand experience with seizure care • Cat care expert with volunteer/foster background • Calm, patient, and highly attentive
“Chelsea was so kind and truly cared about my pup's wellbeing. She communicated when he was being difficult about his meds, immediately called me when the fire alarms went off in the complex and took my pup out, and even washed the sheets! Thank you, Chelsea!”
“Deborah is spectacular. She cared for our senior American Eskimo Sophie beautifully. She is skilled with medications, communicates often with updates and handed out oodles of love and adventures for our Sophie. He also showed care and respect for our home. She is hands-down, the best of the best.”
“Lauren took very good care of Casper and gave him company the whole time I was away. She also accommodated my last minute requests and was very flexible. Thank you so much for that ?”
About: I’ve taken care of neighbors’ and family members’ pets since I was little, and been a reliable and trustworthy caretaker. I have been caring for dogs for five years, including elderly, deaf, and blind dogs. I understand the nuance to earning trust of shy or elderly pets. I have always loved animals and I have repeat clients that find me reliable and loved by their pets. My schedule is very open right now, so I have plenty of time to spend with your pets and give them the attention and love they deserve. I have pets of my own at my home where I live with my parents, so I will care for your pets in your home, either staying at the house or doing drop-ins. I am clean and respectful and I love spending time with animals, respecting and getting to know them on their terms.
About: Hi, I'm Lexi! I'm a registered nurse from south Louisiana, currently working a travel contract here in the Bay Area. Taking care of people is what I do for a living, and dogs have had my heart even longer. I grew up surrounded by dogs and my parents have four back home, so I'm comfortable with a full house, big personalities, and everything from the anxious ones to the ones who think they're lap dogs at 80 pounds. On my last few contracts, I've cared for several doctors' pets while they traveled. Overnight stays, feeding schedules, medications, walks, and plenty of couch time. I'm detail-oriented by training, so I'll follow your instructions exactly and send photo updates so you're never wondering how things are going. Caring for something someone loves is a real responsibility, and it's one I take seriously. I'd love to do that for you and your dog. I work Monday through Friday, 8:30 to 5, and I'm free every weekend. I can board or house sit any time outside of those work hours. Weeknight overnights and full weekends both work well. During the week I'm also available for early morning and evening walks, drop-ins, and feedings before and after work. I live nearby with a fully fenced backyard, so there's plenty of room to get outside and play. My schedule is set and predictable, so once we book, you can count on me being there. At my place, your dog has a fully fenced backyard to run in and free rein of the house. No crating unless that's what they're used to and you'd prefer it. I check the gate and fence line before letting anyone out, and dogs stay leashed anytime we're beyond the yard, no matter how good their recall is. In your home, I follow your routine exactly as you've laid it out. Feeding times, walk routes, which doors stay closed, and any quirks I should know about. I ask a lot of questions up front so nothing is left to guesswork. I'm comfortable giving medications and I pay close attention to how a dog is acting; if something seems off, you'll hear from me right away rather than after the fact. I leave the space the way I found it and send photo updates throughout so you always know how things are going.
“Esmeralda took wonderful care of our dog and cat for a week while we were out of town for the holidays! She sent us photos and updates along the way and both our fur babies were happy and well taken care of when we got home. Thank you Esmeralda!!”
“John took excellent care of Lucy and the house while house sitting. Sent lots of updates and pictures so I felt I knew exactly how everything was going while I was away. Would absolutely love to have John take care of Lucy the next time we need to go out of town.”
“Dana is wonderful! Took great care of my babies and home. If she is available, I will absolutely love to have her watch Bella & Jaxx Again. She was very aware of their feeding and special needs plus walked them daily!”
“Roy was such a great sitter for our two (high energy) Australian Shepherds! He was very communicative and kept us informed with updates and photos. One of our dogs has some medical needs and I was confident he was in good hands with Roy. He also took great care of our house and honestly left it better than when we left. Would highly recommend!”
“Can’t thank Savannah enough! She took the best care of our senior dog and kept me updated throughout the entire stay. She put us at ease being so far away. Appreciate you so much Savannah!”
“Melissa took incredible care of our nutty Labrador Max and handled with him with love and care. She was extra communicative, sent lots of pictures, and kind. She has 3 dogs of her own and we think she’s the dog whisperer of Half Moon Bay! Thank you Melissa!”
“Vivian is wonderful!!!! She took amazing care of my dogs and took them on adventures every day and gave them lots of love. (My dogs weren't even that excited to have me back haha). She sent pictures, videos, and updates every day, which was so helpful and reassuring. She took excellent care of our dogs and our house. Our house was in a bit of a state of chaos when we left, but thanks to Vivian, I came back to a clean and organized house, complete with a bouquet of flowers, a lovely note, and homemade matcha chia pudding 🥹”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 7,594 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across San Gregorio. 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 San Gregorio 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 Gregorio 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 San Gregorio 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.
