“From the moment our dogs met Megan they loved her. Extremely friendly and trustworthy. One of our dogs required medication which Megan had no problem administrating. We will definitely use her again.”

“Sara did a great job watching our dog, cat, fish and house while we were gone for 11 days. They sent regular photos/updates, were very communicative, and the house was clean and cared for when we got home. Our spicy cat even warmed up to them eventually! It was a great comfort to know that our pup was getting his walks and was able to stick to his regular routine while we were away. We will defiantly use Sara again.”

“Spencer was wonderful. Daily photos and words that gave us comfort that our Finn was doing well. I would hire him again and again. It’s been decades since we have needed a petsitter - and Spencer did everything to assure us he could handle the job.”

“Mike took good care of our two older dogs. They were happy and healthy apon our 5 day return and the house was great as we left it. He got packages from outside that werent supose to be delivered so that was great too. He showed up on time and stayed until our agreed upon touch down of flight very late the last night. Knowing he lives in the town we do also is nice. We will definitely get him to stay again if he's free next time we need a sitter. He even fixed our tv remote/sound bar connectivity issues. Thanks Mike! Dana”

About: I've taken care of animals since I've graduated high-school. I'm an animal lover and have taken care of the smallest animals to the biggest. I am willing to go the extra mile for your babies and give plenty of updates. I currently work part-time, allowing me to offer overnight stays as well as morning walks and morning and evening feedings. If your pet requires additional care during the day, I can also accommodate drop-in visits. I understand how important consistency is for pets, and I do my best to keep their routine familiar, comfortable, and stress-free while you're away. I provide care in my clients' homes to help pets remain comfortable in their familiar environment. During the first few days, I make an effort to spend extra time with your pet to build trust, learn their routine, and help them feel secure while you're away. I follow all feeding, exercise, and medication instructions carefully and maintain a clean, safe environment. I prioritize your pet's well-being by providing companionship, regular potty breaks, exercise, and plenty of attention while respecting your home's rules and routines. For overnight stays, I ensure pets have consistency, comfort, and supervision throughout the evening and morning.
About: I’ve cared for animals for over 30 years and have loved them since I was 5, when I got my first cat. Since then, I’ve cared for both dogs and cats—puppies, seniors, and everything in between. I’m comfortable with all breeds and have plenty of informal pet-sitting experience through family and friends. As a remote professional, I’m home most of the day, so your pet will never feel alone. My environment is calm, playful, and full of cuddles (and walks!). I’m also comfortable administering medication and pride myself on being reliable, patient, and calm under pressure. I genuinely love being around animals—it brings me joy to care for them, walk them, and make sure they feel safe and loved while you’re away. Because I work remotely, I’m home most of the day, which makes pet care a natural part of my daily routine. I start my mornings with a walk or playtime, and I take regular breaks throughout the day to give pets attention, cuddles, and outdoor time. Evenings are usually calm and cozy — perfect for a relaxing stroll or some quiet time together. My flexible schedule means I can easily adapt to your pet’s needs, whether that’s frequent walks, meal routines, or medication schedules. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, my goal is always the same — to make them feel safe, loved, and at ease. I follow each pet’s normal routine closely, including feeding times, walks, play, and rest, so their day feels familiar and stress-free. In my home, pets enjoy a calm, cozy space where they get plenty of cuddles, playtime, and outdoor walks. When I’m in a client’s home, I treat it with the same respect and care I would my own, keeping things tidy and peaceful while giving your pet lots of attention and affection. I also send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your furry family member is happy and cared for.

About: With 2 years of volunteer experience at the SPCA and a lifetime of caring for my own two dogs, I have developed a deep understanding of canine behavior, care, and companionship. I’ve walked and cared for dogs of all sizes, from 10-pound pups to 175-pound gentle giants, so I’m comfortable handling dogs with different energy levels and temperaments. I treat every pet like my own, ensuring they feel comfortable, happy, and well-cared for while you're away! I have a pretty open schedule during the summer, so I'm available most days for walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, and spending time with pets. Since I do not have major commitments during the summer, I can provide consistent care and adjust my schedule to meet each pet's specific needs. Since I can’t host pets, I’m happy to care for dogs in their own home, where they feel safe and comfortable. I always prioritize safety and trust, making sure pets are well-supervised, have fresh water, and get plenty of exercise and attention. Whether it’s a walk, playtime, or simply keeping them company, I treat every dog with love and patience as if they were my own. I also respect each owner’s instructions to ensure their pet’s routine stays consistent and stress-free!

“Sophia was a great pet sitter. She checked in with me regularly and was very prompt. It was much easier to enjoy my recent trip knowing that Sophia was there with my dog, Kota. Kota is an older dog, and Sophia managed her medications and small walks for us. I would, of course, book her again.”


About: Caring for animals has always been a part of my life. Growing up with a stepmom who is a veterinary technician, I gained early exposure to caring for animals with a wide range of needs, from healthy pets to those requiring medications, special diets, and extra attention due to medical conditions. I was raised in a home with at least four dogs and seven cats, so I am very comfortable caring for multiple pets with different personalities, routines, and energy levels. My experience has taught me patience, responsibility, and how to recognize when an animal may need additional care or support. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I strive to provide the same love, attention, and care that I would want for my own animals. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, senior and needing a slower pace, or requires a little extra care, I am committed to making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you are away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I have a flexible and responsible schedule. I am able to prioritize morning, afternoon, and evening care depending on the needs of each pet. I am consistent with feeding times, walks, playtime, and check-ins, and I make sure pets receive attention throughout the day rather than just quick visits. I also plan my week around any bookings I accept so that I can fully commit my time and energy to each pet in my care. I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every pet in my care. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely, maintain the pet’s normal routine, and ensure doors, gates, and feeding areas are secure at all times. I treat each home with respect and care, as if it were my own. With my background growing up around animals and veterinary care, I am comfortable recognizing signs of stress or health concerns and responding appropriately. I make sure pets are never left in unsafe situations, and I always provide attentive supervision, affection, and structure so they feel secure while their owners are away.
About: Hi! I'm a reliable and compassionate animal lover who truly understands that pets are family! I have cared for animals my whole life, and have been the choice of friends and family to take care of their dogs while they are away. I provide attentive, loving care for all pets as if they were my own. Whether it's daily walks, playtime, feeding, or simply providing companionship, I want to make sure your babies are safe, comfortable and happy while you’re away. I work at a school and i’m currently on summer break, so I am free to help walk for care for your pets anytime of the day. I have a fenced yard and 4 small, friendly dogs that would be happy to keep your pets company. If need be, my dogs are fine with staying in our garage while your pet roams the yard or stays inside.
“Rebeca did an amazing job house sitting and caring for our reactive dog, Ginger. From the moment we met her, it was clear that she was patient, attentive, and genuinely cared about Ginger's well-being. Caring for a reactive dog requires extra understanding and compassion, and Rebeca handled everything beautifully. She kept us updated throughout our trip with pictures and the sweetest stories about Ginger's day, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. When we returned home, Ginger was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. Our house was also in great shape. We are incredibly grateful for the love and attention Rebeca gave to Ginger and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and responsible pet sitter. We will absolutely book with her again!”

“Jessica is an outstanding and reliable Dogsitter! We absolutely use her to watch our boys every time we can. She keeps us updated regularly with pictures a thorough communication, keeps up with their training, and makes sure they are snuggled and loved on enough so that we don’t worry about them missing us. Simply cannot recommend her enough!”

“Jaclyn was great! Our old girl who doesn't usually give strangers the time of day liked Jaclyn instantly so we knew it was a good fit and happily trusted Jaclyn with our home and "kids". She was attentive to our babies' needs, flexible for ours and sent us plenty of adorable pictures along the way. We're already planning to rely on her for the next adventure.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - San Juan Bautista
Spencer did an amazing job taking care of our 2 dogs and cat for 4 days while my family and I were out of town. I could tell that he took the time to read through our detailed instructions and he sent lots of pictures and video to reassure us that they were well taken care of while we were away. Also, one of our dogs is very strong and pulls a lot during walks. Spencer is definitely strong enough and experienced enough to walk him which is one of the reasons we hired him. He is also a very good house guest. If it weren't for the pictures and videos he sent, I wouldn't have even known he was there. Thank you Spencer. We will definitely be seeking you out again for pet sitting.

FAQs for House Sitting - San Juan Bautista
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in San Juan Bautista on Rover is $72.15 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 1,017 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across San Juan Bautista. 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 Juan Bautista 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 Juan Bautista 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 Juan Bautista 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 with handling special pet needs in San Juan Bautista. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
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.
