“Jasmine is AWESOME! We have used her to house and doggo sit for our Stella 3 times now. Our Stella loves her, and we will certainly be using her again when we need a sitter, if possible!”

“Allison was great! Very easy to work with, clearly loves and cares about our pets. This booking was last minute ahead of Labor Day weekend which was really a bonus. Thank you Allison”

“Marie-Pierre was recommended to us by a friend and I’m so grateful for the referral! I have a hard time trusting my dogs with anyone and Marie Pierre was so communicative with me and patient with the dogs (especially our rescue, who has a hard time when I leave)! The dogs warmed right up to her and I know she took great care of them! She also went above and beyond to leave my home cleaner than when she arrived! I highly recommend Marie! Thank you!!!”

About: Hi! My name is Sophia and I'd love to take care of your fur babies! I currently work at an emergency pet hospital which makes me a good option for knowing if your baby is not feeling too good or is taking medication. I've also volunteered at the animal shelter for a few years cleaning kennels and walking dogs. I also volunteered at the medical room and helped pre and post surgerys. In addition, I also graduated in Animal Science from UC Davis. I have always loved animals and would love to take care of yours. I am currently on summer break from college so I am available anytime to take care of your pets! I can work mornings or nights. If your fur baby was in my home, I have one dog and he's super sweet and does well with other dogs. I take him on a walk at least once a day and would do the same for yours. I can adjust to your preferences if you'd prefer special diet for your pets such as bland chicken and rice, if they prefer to be inside or outside and play with them as frequent as possible.

“Marissa and Josh were great! They were very attentive and knowledgeable from our first meeting. They treated my dog well, kept him happy, and treated our home with respect. I would not hesitate to use their services again in the future.”

About: One thing about me is I always will care for your furbaby with the same love and attention that I give my fur baby! I’ve owned only two dogs in my lifetime, and I’ve been around countless doggies from my family and friends. I feel you should receive the same kind of care for your pet that a childcare would provide for a child. Meaning, I will nurture and respect their boundaries as I would if I was taking care of a child because I believe in building trust before asserting any kind of movements around your dog/furbaby. Also I will follow any instructions given to provide the best care for your pup. I’m able to have my availability open Monday through Friday and open all day on the weekends to provide my services. This would allow me to care for your fur babies when you need it the most! (Schedule subject to change soon with new job starting week of Oct. 20th) For my own pet I make sure she has what she needs like food, water, treats and playtime. Also most importantly I make sure her potty break needs are met (even though she’s potty trained to go pee on the pee pad). In my clients home I will always make sure the dog receives the care I’m instructed to give and a whole lot of love and cuddles. (of course only if your dog is the affectionate kind) I will always make sure to treat your home with the utmost most respect and care.
“This was my first time using Rover, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the experience. I was a little nervous at first, but Jalen made the entire process easy and stress-free. He was professional, reliable, and showed genuine care for my puppy. I felt completely comfortable knowing my Oli was in good hands. I am beyond happy with the service Jalen provided and will definitely be booking with him again.”

About: I've been caring for my own animals as soon as I was big and responsible enough too. I'd say 15-20+yrs. I love meeting new furry friends cause they always remind me about my good soul or spirit. It makes me happy. Cats and dogs gravitate twords all the time. I'd say I do well with teaching how to walk on a leash. I currently take care of my dog and I have 4hens and 1rooster. So it fits right in very well. I'm not working as we speak but I'm looking. I have a rather large front and back yard that raps all the way around the house. I have a small dog her name is Mary Jane. I have two dog kennels if u perfered to keep your dog in a crate.
“Amelia watched our two dogs, cat and house for 10 days and did an amazing job. The animals loved her and she took great care of our home while she was here. We will definitely be booking her again!”

(For bookings over $50 only) I’ll happily apply it when we book together! 🩷 Ever since I was 5 years old I have known the unconditional love and joy animals and pets bring to people and especially to me. At 6 years old I got my first boarding experience with a German Shepherd named Emma, who I fell completely in love with and was sad to give her back after. I have had the most experience with puppies and dogs my whole life but I have just recently become a new cat mama and we truly have an unbreakable bond. I will show gentle love and care for all your fur babies making sure they are always in loving, cherished and safe hands.🪽😇🐾 I am a currently a full time student but I have plenty of time to care for your fur babies during the week and weekends! 🫶🏼 🪽I always make sure pets feel safe and loved in their own environment. 🩷 🪽 I’ll respect your home, follow all instructions closely, and keep things calm and clean. 🏡 🪽Whether it’s feeding, playtime, or just giving extra cuddles, your pet’s comfort and safety come first! 🫂 🪽I’ll also send regular updates and photos to keep you at ease! 🤳
“Emma was truly one of the best sitters I’ve ever had. She went above and beyond to take care of my dog. She was extremely mindful, respectful, kind and patient with my dog. She genuinely enjoys taking care of pets and does a great job. I was getting consistent updates though out the day and I loved it.”

About: I'm a lifelong animal lover with years of experience since 11 years old when my mother would petsit the neighbor's dogs. I've cared for dogs at many stages of life, from newborn puppies to sweet 10 year old senior pups! I understand each pet has their own unique needs, and I will always commit to providing attentive, compassionate care for each and every one. It's what a good pup deserves! Out of highschool and looking to spend more time doing something I enjoy while supporting my goals! Free every week with plenty of time for playing and caring for your fur babies ♡ I have a fenced front yard and 3 dogs in the house. Whether you want your pup to make new friends, be comfortable in their crate, or seperated from the dogs, whatever is best for them, I'll do with no problem! Food, playtime, walks, and cuddles will be provided to all pups whether at my home or yours. Just tell me what you need and I'll deliver!
About: Ever since I was young, my love for animals has been unwavering, and that passion continues to define me as an adult. I've always been the go-to person among my family and friends whenever they needed a pet sitter or extra assistance. It wasn't until recently, when a friend referred me to Rover, that I decided to officially extend my help beyond my immediate circle. I’m available to care for pets Monday through Sunday with enough advance notice to plan around my schedule and personal responsibilities. I’m happy to work with you to make sure your pet’s care fits comfortably into both your schedule and mine. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my priority. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, so I take the time to follow your care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, playtime, and household rules.
“Tatiana was fabulous with our boys! We needed someone to watch our older dogs on short notice and she was available for a meet and greet right away, and we booked with her immediately. She kept us updated while we were away with photos of our dogs, daily updates on their walks and activities, and questions to make sure she was giving them the best care. We won't hesitate to rebook with Tatiana in the future.”


About: Hey there! I’m Brittany, I offer pet sitting, boarding, walks, drop-ins and housesitting. Pet CPR and first aid certified, insured and bonded. From kittens and puppies to seniors and pets with complex medical needs, I provide attentive, knowledgeable care so you can be away with complete peace of mind. I’m not your average pet sitter, juggling a dozen cats and dogs. I only care for pets from no more than two families at once, but usually just one, so your pet gets my full attention and becomes part of our extended family. Think concierge-style care, calm, personal, and tailored to your pet. I’m a proud dog mommy to my 10 year old Chihuahua, Wolfgang, so I know how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your furry family members. Medical and special-needs experience: Cats: kitten care, diabetes, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), kidney disease and kidney failure, thyroid disease, and anxiety Dogs: puppies, seniors, seizures and epilepsy, IVDD, IMHA, arthritis, separation anxiety, and allergies My vocational nursing training and pet CPR and first aid certification, shape how I care for pets. I follow feeding schedules and medication instructions precisely, and I know what to watch for: changes in appetite, energy, or behavior that can signal a problem. If anything seems off, I contact you right away. I’m reliable and punctual, and I send regular photos and updates so you always know how your pet is doing. Whether your pet loves walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having someone nearby, my goal is for them to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I treat every pet with the kindness, patience, and attention I’d want for my own. I’d love to meet yours! I care for pets from no more than two families at any given time, and usually just one. That’s intentional. It lets me plan each day around your pet’s routine instead of fitting them in between other bookings. I’m available every day of the week for boarding, house sitting, daycare, drop-in visits, and walks. Meals, medications, walks, and rest happen at the times your pet is used to, so their days feel familiar even while you’re away. Your dog stays in my house with a fenced yard, in a calm residential area with walking trails nearby. It’s a small, quiet home, best for small and medium dogs with a calm to moderate energy level. I unfortunately do not accept aggressive or reactive dogs, which keeps every guest and my senior Chihuahua safe and relaxed. I keep doors and gates secure, always use a leash outdoors, and follow your routine, whether that means crating or joining us on the couch.

“Working with Brandee was such a pleasant experience. I had constant updates and pictures which kept me from worrying about my fur-kids. I cleaned my house before leaving and when I came back it looked better than I left it! My dogs loved her and replaced me almost immediately. Next time I need pet care, it'll be Brandee.”

“Garrett and Olivia did a great job caring for our Doberman while we were out of town for several days. She has some special needs and they handled them well. Hope to hire them again in the future.”
About: I’m active duty military who was previously an animal science major. I love and have experience with animals of all kinds. I have been the girl who is outside picking up strays and bringing them home for loving and care. I have experience from working in a boarding home to being a foster mom. My experience with animals aren’t limited to just cats and dogs either, I own a frog and two hermit crabs, I’ve also worked with cattle for a brief moment. I have experience with feeding, administering medication, grooming pets, and much more. I hope that I get to spread my love to all the animals soft and fluffy! If there are any questions about what else I have experience with feel free to ask! Looking forward to working with you and all the cute little babies. I work full time, but my days start early and I’m done around the mid afternoon. I would be able to check on them at active times of the day. I’ll be able to care for your pets as if they were mine. If needed I’m able to stand in for all the things you do with your pet on a daily basis.
About: With four years of hands-on pet care and two Frenchies of my own, I provide attentive, reliable, and loving care tailored to your dog’s routine. I’m active duty (USN). Weekends offer my most open availability for full-day care and sitting, but I am also happy to adjust my weekday afternoons/evenings to accommodate your dog’s walks, feeding schedules, and companionship needs. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine come first. I care for dogs exclusively in your home, your pup stays relaxed in their familiar environment. You can count on me to show up on time, respect your house rules, lock up tight, stick to your routine, and send you plenty of photo updates while you’re away.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - San Ysidro
Sierra was amazing to our dogs Cali and Teddy. We honestly could not thank her enough for her care. I was looking for someone that could understand senior dogs and my dogs situation, and I am so grateful that it was her. She gave us constant updates and went above and beyond to be there for our dogs and understand them. I definitely recommend her and would definitely work with her again. Thank you Sierra!

We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter for our two dogs while we were away on vacation. From the start, Melissa took the time to understand our dogs’ routines and made sure everything stayed consistent, from feeding schedules and walks to playtime and bedtime habits. What impressed us most was how quickly our dogs grew comfortable and trusting Melissa. One of our dogs can be a little skittish at first, but it was clear they felt safe, relaxed, and genuinely cared for the entire time we were gone. We also appreciated the regular updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind when we were away. Coming home to two happy, calm dogs confirmed they were in great hands. We highly recommend Melissa to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy dog sitter!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in San Ysidro is $51 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $69 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 5,504 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across San Ysidro. 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 Ysidro 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 Ysidro 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 Ysidro 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
