“Cienna was perfect! She was so nice, respectful, responsible, and easy to communicate with. We were so happy with all her pictures and updates while we were away, and we returned to a very healthy and happy pup! She took great care of our house and our most precious baby. We would definitely recommend her and will reach out to her anytime we need someone to watch over Prada!”
“Danae was amazing! She checked in frequently, sent pics of my girls, and is very friendly and responsible. It gave us peace of mind knowing our pets were in capable hands. I would book her again in a heartbeat!”
“Amelia was amazing. She was communicative and loved all 3 of my dogs like they were her own. I’m so grateful for her dog sitting and her care. I’m looking forward to future visits!”
“Lainie was amazing! She provided updates and handled our high energy pup very well. She provided lots of cuddles and exercise. She also was helpful in a pinch when our arrival time back home changed and we need one last check-in. I would highly recommend her to anyone!”
“Kellie is great. We have two big Akitas that need supervision to prevent them from destroying the house when we are gone. The dogs warmed up to her immediately. She arrived right on time and there were no issues. Would definitely hire her again!”
“Allison Nicole V is a true gem! She came in and made me feel completely comfortable leaving my furbaby Cujo in her very capable hands. Cujo had just lost his sidekick and best friend, Gunner Butter just two weeks before I was to leave on my vacation. I didn't know how he would be for Allison Nicole V, but she took excellent of Cujo! She went way beyond the call of duty on this pet sitting adventure. She left everything clean and showed professionalism throughout her stay with my little guy. I would recommend her for anyone looking for a pet sitter, dog walker or boarding your babies! I am hoping to go on a trip in May and I hope she will be available to come into my home again and take care of my precious baby. I can't thank her enough for the peace of mind she gave me. I really don't think anyone else would have done the amazing job she did, knowing I chose such a wonderful caregiver while I was gone.”
“Jasmine was AMAZING!!! This was our first time leaving all our pets, 2 dogs and 2 cats, with a pet/house sitter, and our first time using Rover.....so initially I was a little nervous. I was a little sad because I was going to be away from my babies for so long, I was gone on 2 different trips for a total of 13 days. However, once I met Jasmine, I felt completely comfortable! I knew they were going to be in great hands!! My sister stayed home with them for the first 8 days while I was in Hawaii, but then she joined me in San Diego, and that's when Jasmine took over. Although I have a rambunctious 8-month husky/shepherd puppy mix....who sometimes gets into things she shouldn't, Jasmine was great with her! After my Goldie's first bad behavior day, Jasmine worked with her and had no further issues with her getting into things she shouldn't. Even though Goldie was still a little pill and would sometimes still jump up on her in excitement, Jasmine worked to correct her behavior. Now I need to continue with more training. Jasmine sent us lots of pictures, and my Izzie (my perfect girl) and my Goldie (not so perfect girl), looked very happy every time! She also took great care of my 2 cats...they are easy, just needed to be fed and given water, but she let me know how they were doing, as well. I would highly recommend Jasmine and will definitely be working with her again in the future! I know my fur children and my home are well taken care of by Jasmine!”
About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was 11 years old and have experience with pets of all ages, from newborn puppies to senior dogs. I’ve assisted with whelping litters, ensuring each puppy gained weight appropriately, met all nutritional requirements, and received attentive care during their earliest stages of life. I also helped with early potty training, socialization, and sensory enrichment to support healthy development. In addition, I have experience caring for elderly pets by providing gentle, patient care, administering medications when needed, monitoring their comfort, and adapting to their changing needs. I treat every animal as if they were my own and pride myself on providing reliable, compassionate, and attentive care. I am a stay at home dog and cat mom so I’m available any time and any day to look after your fur babies when needed. I am more comfortable with taking care of your fur babies from your home just because I do have a senior Great Dane who is not the friendliest toward other doggies.
“Savannah has been wonderful with our two eight-month-old puppies, Susie and Boo. They have a lot of energy, and she handles them with patience and confidence. She’s dependable, easy to communicate with, and has been someone we can count on. We’d gladly recommend her to anyone looking for a great dog sitter.”
About: Can care for any type of cat personality, from love-y and playful to the skittish and scaredy. I also have experience administering medication for cats. Open to small dog care too! Graduating college going into working a freelance job, event-based so I have periods of free time and flexibility. Feel free to ask about my availability! I would care for your cat as if it was my own. I would clean the litter boxes and throw-up if your kitty is sick. I can administer pill and liquid medication for the mouth. Then I will also play with your cat as to make sure it gets its energy out, and even offer supervised outside time desired.
“I can't recommend her enough! She took such great care of my Belgian Malinois, Ellie, she took the extra mile to make sure Ellie was safe during their walk. She was incredibly patient, understanding, and followed all of Ellie's routines, making me feel completely at ease while I was away. She was also so understanding of our travel situation and incredibly flexible, which meant so much during a stressful time. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Ellie was in such caring and capable hands. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup, and I'll definitely be booking with her again. Thank you for loving Ellie like she was your own!”

“Rachel did amazing with our 3 older furbabies. She was able to help us in a pinch when my husband and I had just moved to a new home and needed quick house/pet sitting. She gave frequent updates and our pets love her! Thank you, Rachel! <3”
“Jaime is an excellent house sitter and dog caregiver. Cooper loved him. He was very thoughtful in taking care of the house and even pitched in on a chore or two that was above and beyond. Checked in as requested. Highly recommend.”
“My dogs fell in love with her! I felt immediately confident that she was going to take care of them well, but also care about them. What a gem of a human being and a dog lover! I will definitely use her again .”
About: My name is Erin all my life there’s been a dog at my side and to this day that love for all animals has never faded. Currently work from home my schedule is open to assist with walks, drops in, and overnight/extended stays. Additionally I would love to help provide meals, play a game or two, and can administer oral medications if needed. My experience has been obtained through training my own rescue dogs helping to build their confidence, teach proper leash etiquette, and through these experiences have mastered how to read dogs body language. If you have a nervous pooch, super senior, and or a large breed don’t hesitate to reach out. The ultimate goal is to provide care with the same love and attentiveness given to my animals whether it’s a drop in, walk, or house sit let meet up to see if I’m the right fit for you!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - San Ysidro
I can’t express how wonderful Levi is, my pets were loved and treated like royalty. My house was cleaner than I left it! My plants looked better than when I cared for them! He went above all of my expectations! Thank you Levi for all you did for me! I even had a wasp problem and he took care of it! I had a wonderful trip because of him! Please use his service, he will not disappoint!
Savannah has been wonderful with our two eight-month-old puppies, Susie and Boo. They have a lot of energy, and she handles them with patience and confidence. She’s dependable, easy to communicate with, and has been someone we can count on. We’d gladly recommend her to anyone looking for a great dog sitter.
Bethany is amazing! She sent photos and updates and even the pups that don't do well with strangers took to her; and to be honest, I trust the dogs instincts over my own! :) Despite getting ER sick while here, she made sure everything was done before taking herself to the hospital! To me, putting yourself aside to care for someone else's pups is just above and beyond! We will definitely be booking again!
Jasmine is amazing! I have 3 cats and 2 dogs and she was great with them and made me feel at ease leaving them which i have never done before and am already booking her for the next out of town trip. I have a very picky dog and he loved her which says alot to me. I got updates as requested and she is very responsive.
Janice is awesome. Roxy bonded with her immediately. Janice was prompt, attentive, and kept us updated with messages, photos and videos. Our girl was comfy and relaxed in her own environment thanks to Janice. We will definitely check with her for future sitting!

FAQs for House Sitting - San Ysidro
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in San Ysidro on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 136 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 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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
