“Hunter and Eila did a great job with our animals. We were very nervous about leaving them as Baby had surgery 8 weeks ago and still was restricted from running and jumping. Even with all the special needs and they were able to navigate our crew. Additionally, they kept the house in great condition while we were gone.”

“Adrian is absolutely wonderful! We have three pugs — our 17-year-old senior who needs help getting around, our 14-year-old special needs baby, and our energetic 4-year-old who can find trouble in the blink of an eye. Not the easiest crew to care for, but Adrian handled them all with so much love and patience. We came home to three happy, well-cared-for pups, and that means everything to us. When you have seniors with special needs, leaving them isn’t easy — but knowing Adrian was with them gave us complete peace of mind the entire time we were away. We couldn’t recommend Adrian more. If you’re looking for someone who will truly treat your pets like family, look no further!”

About: As a professional sitter, what sets me apart is my diverse skill set and experience. I specialize in not just regular pet sitting but also have extensive training in puppy training techniques, as well as K9 training making me adept at handling and guiding young pups through their crucial learning stages. Additionally, I have specialized training in senior pet care, ensuring that older pets receive the attention, care, and support they need, including administering medication or providing extra comfort and companionship. My dedication to continuous learning and my passion for animals make me a reliable and compassionate sitter who goes above and beyond to meet the unique needs of every pet in my care. As I am only working part-time. I ensure that pet care is seamlessly integrated into my daily routine. This includes regular feeding, exercise, playtime, walks , snuggles and administering any necessary medication or treatments as needed. Whether your pet stays with me or I come to your home, my goal is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’ll stick to their usual feeding schedule, make sure they always have fresh water, keep up with walks and exercise, and give them plenty of attention, playtime, and snuggles. I’m also comfortable following care instructions for medications and other special needs. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I’ll respect your space and keep everything tidy while making sure your pet stays on their normal routine. I know every animal is different, so I’m always happy to work with their individual personality, preferences, and needs. Your pets will get plenty of love and attention, and you’ll get updates and pictures along the way!

About: I’ve had no less than 3 dogs and as many as 5 for the last 25 years. All things dog put me in my happy place and I’d love to help you out with yours. I’ve had puppies and seniors and everything in between. I work part time so I’m semi flexible. Tell me what you need and I’ll do my best to make it work. I’d love to add to my end of week and weekend work. I have a fully fenced backyard and a separate fenced side yard. Both have shady areas. I also don’t mind having pets in my home so I’d imagine they would be inside with me the majority of the time. I’m also open to whatever you need for your pet in your home.

“I’ve known Vicky for sometime now and she’s always been mature, responsible and a pet lover. So when I found out she does pet sitting, it was a no brainer that I’d be booking with her. She was communicative and was definitely invested in caring for my cats. Especially my senior who requires oral meds. My youngest cat warmed up to her so quickly to my surprise!! Definitely will book with her again.”

About: I have taken care of both a great Dane and a Chihuahua mix both sides of the spectrum. One thing about me is, I’ll make sure your pets are well taken care of always. I’m currently working as a nanny with an agency. It’s pretty flexible because I can chose my own schedule. So therefore I can be flexible in scheduling. So in my home we let the cats and dogs have free roam. But depending on whatever the client prefers that’s what I’ll do.

“I highly recommend Ann! She took amazing care of my two dogs while I was on vacation and she truly went above and beyond. She played with them, gave them lots of attention, and treated them like they were her own. She is incredibly kind and professional. She gave several updates every day with the best pictures of the dogs. She gave me so much peace of mind knowing my dogs were in such great hands. I appreciate her genuine care and will definitely be booking with her again!”

About: 🐾Love By Pets. Recommended by humans. Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with decades of hands-on experience caring for animals of all ages, sizes, breeds, temperaments, and care levels. Improving the lives of animals is my passion. Every pet that enters my care is treated like family, receiving the same love, patience, respect, protection and individualized attention I would want for my own beloved pets. Whether you have a puppy, a fragile senior, a pregnant or nursing mother, a shy rescue, or a pet with medical, behavioral, or anxiety-related challenges, I provide compassionate, personalized care tailored to their unique needs. My goal is to create a safe, enriching, stress-free and FUN experience that allows pets to thrive while giving their owners complete peace of mind. ✨ Experience Includes: • All ages. Puppies, kittens (bottle feeding ok 👍🏻), seniors, and hospice care • Pregnant animals and nursing mothers • Medication administration and specialized care plans • Medical, behavioral, and anxiety-related conditions • Fearful, reactive, rescue, and special-needs pets • Giant breeds (120–200+ lbs), toy breeds, and everything in between • Bully breeds, guardian breeds, working dogs, and high-drive breeds • Exotic and specialty felines • Birds, reptiles, and small animals • Multi-pet households My experience extends far beyond traditional pet sitting. I have spent years working with animal rescues and participating in Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) and community cat programs, helping care for and advocate for vulnerable animals. These experiences have given me a deep understanding of animal behavior, body language, trust-building, and how to safely handle pets with a wide range of personalities and backgrounds. I have also been honored to participate in efforts supporting families through the Make-A-Wish Foundation, including helping facilitate meaningful visits for children whose wish was to spend time with animals and pets. These experiences further strengthened my commitment to compassion, reliability, and providing comfort during life’s most meaningful moments. Caring for others—both human and animal—is at the heart of everything I do. Communication is one of my highest priorities. You’ll receive regular updates, photos, and honest communication throughout your pet’s stay so you can relax and enjoy your time away knowing your family member is safe, happy, and loved. 💗 What Makes My Care Different? • Personalized, one-on-one attention for the duration  • Flexible and accommodating scheduling • Solo daycare available upon request • Extended stays welcome • Customized routines tailored to your pet • Calm, loving, family-oriented environment • Experience with pets requiring advanced handling skills • Care from someone who genuinely loves animals and understands their individual needs Many of my clients become long-term members of my pet-care family. I’m proud to have earned the trust of repeat clients who rely on me to care for everything from tiny teacups and exotic pets to giant breeds, working dogs, bully breeds, seniors, rescues, and pets with complex medical or behavioral needs. I understand that leaving your pet with someone else is a big decision. That’s why I focus on building trust, maintaining open communication, and ensuring every pet feels safe, comfortable, understood, and loved from the moment they arrive. I look forward to welcoming your furry, feathered, or scaly family member and giving them the same level of care, compassion, and attention I would give my own. Because every pet deserves more than just a sitter—they deserve family. 🐾💕 My schedule revolves around pet care already. Caring for animals has been a major part of my daily life for many years through pet care/sitting/walking etc, animal rescue work, and caring for my own pets. While your pet is with me, this is their time and all of my focus and attention is on them for the duration of the booking. This allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, exercise, enrichment, playtime, companionship, medication administration when needed, and plenty of supervision throughout the day. I strive to keep pets on their normal routine as much as possible so they feel safe, comfortable, and at home while you’re away. Whether your pet needs extra attention, a flexible schedule, or specialized care, I’m happy to accommodate their individual needs. Every pet is unique, so I tailor my care to each animal’s individual personality, routine, and needs. Before every booking, I take the time to learn about feeding schedules, exercise requirements, medications, favorite activities, fears, quirks, and any special instructions. Owner guidance and instructions are key to providing the best possible booking and any information provided will be followed closely (and greatly appreciated!).  One thing that sets my care apart is that I do not use kennels or crates unless they are already part of your pet’s normal routine and you specifically request it. My goal is for pets to feel comfortable, secure, and at home—not confined unnecessarily. For families looking for a more personalized experience, I also offer accommodations such as Private Doggy Daycare, Private Kitty Daycare, Private Canine Camp, and Private Kitty Camp, where your pet can be the only guest in my care for the duration of their stay. I am always happy to discuss special requests and customize care whenever possible. Whether caring for a tiny breed, a giant breed, a working dog, a bully breed, a senior pet, or a rescue animal with unique needs, safety, comfort, and individualized attention always come first.

About: I'm usually a very meticulous person. When I was 15, I helped my friend take care of her Golden Retrievers. They were quite big for me, but I was up to the task. I learned how to care for them, how to take them for walks, and how to clean them. I also have a lot of energy, and I think taking care of dogs requires good physical stamina. As long as I show them careful and loving attention, the dogs can sense it. I'm only available in the mornings and evenings before January 5th, but I'll have more time after January 5th. We need to schedule a time to meet and discuss things in detail. My home is an apartment and doesn't have a backyard, but my bedroom is very spacious. My house has wall-to-wall carpeting. There are no pets in the house.

“Aimee was awesome! She took care of my household of pets (4 cats, 2 dogs) and a horse, plus fed several semi feral cats on my little ranch for 8 days. She was conscientious about everything, including tidiness, followed instructions precisely, and took some time to visit with my pets who are all very affectionate. She really couldn't have done a better job and I will definitely be calling on her services in the future, she is a keeper!”

We were nervous going into this process however Jovelle’s communication was so fantastic prior to during and post dog sitting weekend. It made us feel so much more at easy to see via text on a daily basis how are pups were doing. Our dogs do not get along with people quickly and they warmed up so fast it was awesome to see! We will definitely be booking with her in the future.”

About: What sets me apart is my hands-on experience with both energetic puppies (training basics) and cherished senior dogs (comfort, special needs). I offer personalized care tailored to your pet's life stage, drawing from years of experience with my own pack. My pet care routine is built around consistent daily attention, thanks to my schedule where I'm only working evenings on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. This allows me to provide regular potty breaks, meals, and plenty of engaging activities throughout the day, Monday through Wednesday morning, and all day Thursday through Sunday. My pets thrive with this level of presence and dedicated care. When pets stay in my home, they get a loving, family-like atmosphere with constant supervision, plenty of playtime, and a securely fenced yard. They're treated as one of my own! But as for For in-home visits, I come to you! Your pet stays comfortable in their familiar environment, sticking to their usual routine for feeding, walks, and potty breaks. I ensure their safety and your home's security.

Tina watched our dogs for five days while we were on and out-of-state vacation. It was our first time leaving our dogs with anyone from Rover and I was very unsure about the process. Although we have an older dog who is super sweet and very easy-going, we have a one-year-old rescue puppy, who is a handful AND has extreme anxiety about everything - noises, cars, other animals, and - most of all- people. Tina was very responsive on the app, had great reviews and seemed very trustworthy from her profile. She agreed to meet me and the dogs beforehand and was so generous with her time during that first visit and really took time to understand my puppy’s needs. We booked, but I was still anxious to see whether it would work out. Well, it turns out that I didn’t need to have any worries at all because she was an absolute dog whisperer. Tina was in constant contact with me - during the day at at night - about everything and sent pics and videos of the dogs. It is clear that both my dogs absolutely adored her and felt super comfortable with her around. And that scare puppy of mine? She was in Tina’s lap by the second morning! I could see they were treating her the same way they treat us, which is the greatest sign of dogsitter success. Aside from the dogs, Tina was respectful of our home, cleaned up after herself, stuck to our dogs’ schedule and was a total godsend to me and my family. She was kind, polite, calm and generally lovely to deal with. I cannot recommend her highly enough. She had a tough task and absolutely knocked it out of the park. We have found our person and my dogs have, as well. Thank you, Tina! ❤️

We get lots of updates, photos and videos, and they go above and beyond to make our dog as comfortable as they can. They stay in our home and when we return it’s cleaner than we left it which speaks to the type of people they are. We are repeat clients and will continue to be as long as they’re available!

FAQs for House Sitting - Sand Hill

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Sand Hill is $73 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $36 and $93 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 3,422 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Sand Hill. 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 Sand Hill 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 Sand Hill 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 Sand Hill 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.

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.
