“Great experience. Amanda is so nice and personable. My pugs took to her right away and were well taken care of. She was very communicative and sent pictures of our hooligans while we were away. Will definitely book again in the future.”
“Maci took great care of my sweet girl. She provided regular updates and photos and I feel my dog was well taken care of. I wound totally recommend Maci as a sitter. Thank you!”
“Marissa is the best!! Our dogs are reactive and territorial and they absolutely loved her from the moment they met her. She is kind, smart, and treated our babies like her own. She not only took perfect care of the dogs but also kept our home in great shape while we were away. She stayed in contact, sent lots of pictures, and updated us constantly about them which we loved. We will definitely continue working with Marissa and highly recommend her!”
“Leigh was the absolute best! She followed our instructions to the T, sent numerous updates and pictures, and even let our furbabies sleep with her. I can't say enough great things about her. Can't wait to have her back next time.”
“Angela was so amazing! She stayed with Murphy & was super attentive with walking and hanging out with him! She was on time & very communicative! She was so kind & respectful of our home, I felt so comfortable with her! Not only did Murphy love her, but I did as well! Highly recommend & we will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Stephanie did a great job house sitting for us on short notice. The dogs, the cat, and the house were all well taken care of. We got updates and photos daily and felt comfortable right from our meet and greet. We'd definitely book again!”
“Holly has been helping us take care of our doxie nori for a few years now and she has become our go to whenever we leave town and can’t bring nori along. I’m sure this goes for anyone on here looking for a sitter - our dog is basically our child so we are super selective about who we have take care of her! And finding Holly was a HUGE relief for us. She takes such good care of nori, shows her so much love and patience (nori can be a bit stubborn and not welcoming at first) and in addition to her care with nori, holly leaves our house cleaner than we left it! Cannot recommend her enough.”
“We had a fantastic experience with our Dustin! Communication was excellent from start to finish, and he kept us updated with amazing photos of Leo every day, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. He took Leo to the park every day, gave him several long walks, and even spent time playing with him inside the house to keep him happy and engaged. It was clear that Leo was well cared for and getting plenty of attention and exercise. When we returned, the house was spotless, which was such a thoughtful bonus. We couldn't have asked for better care for Leo or our home. We would absolutely book with him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional dog sitter!”
“This is the third time we’ve used Kayla and as always had a really positive experience! Came home to our house in great shape and both cats looking happy and healthy. Thank you as always!”
“Paris was great with all our pets. She sent photos and regular updates so we didn’t worry. She also let us know when she completed tasks that we asked her to do (mail, trash, pay the gardener). We will definitely use her services again!”
“Josette is a dog whisperer! We have two very active young cocker spaniels. If you know the breed you know how excitable they are. These two are particularly so, as they are also rescues from Mongolia via the wonderful LA-based Camp Cocker Rescue. They are always so happy to see Josette, which includes lots of jumping, and Josette calms them right down. We feel so comfortable leaving our pups with Josette. She is so on top of the all the details of the dogs. We know they are so well taken care of, very safe and very loved. When we return from out of town the dogs are always happy, and the house is immaculate. Couldn’t be happier with her caregiving! Also love her responsiveness when we reach out to her! XOXO”
“Kate housesat for our pups so we could attend a last minute trip out of town. I love the updates and pictures. She even made them homemade treats! I know my pups are happy when we're home but they always look for her after she's left!”
“Claudia is an amazing dog sitter and I highly recommend her for the patience, caring and attentiveness she showed our sweet dog who is a anxious and needy. Claudia really took the time to get to know our dog and you could tell she truly cares about my dogs well-being. I was nervous about leaving my dog with an overnight dog sitter, but Claudia was amazing. I truly appreciated her communication and pictures she sent while we were away. We will for sure not hesitate to reschedule with Claudia!”
About: Hey there! My name is Natasha and I have been an avid dog lover since I was young. My partner and I both WFH and we have a fully fenced in front and backyard for the pups to play and roam. With my 8+ years of dog care experience, it's my pleasure to make our house your dog's favorite home away from home! A little about me: My first dog was a Christmas gift when I was 16. Despite being on crutches, I learned a lot about dog training and care. Fast forward to 7 years ago, I rescued my border collie and trained her to become a service dog. We go everywhere and do (almost) everything together - including taking care of other dogs! I also now have a Foster dog, Ashe, who is very docile, gentle, and sweet. She's just happy to be here! I am also happy to watch your pet(s) at your home as my partner can take care of the gang here at home while I'm away. Whatever works best for you! Either way - your pets will be loved, mentally and physically engaged, and cared for however long you need! I work remote full-time and set my own schedule. Nyla joins me for runs, frisbee sessions at the park, hikes, and fetch 5-6 days a week. After that, it’s all cuddle puddle. We also do some training on our walks for breakfast! We go for a long walk in the morning and evening, with plenty of short breaks throughout the day - or one of the aforementioned activities! Safety is of utmost importance to me. I know many dogs have lots of ways they communicate their boundaries and I keep a close eye for any or all of them your dog may show. We have a fully fenced in front and backyard, a way to divide the two, and live in a residential neighborhood. I work with each pet to learn their comfort level and earn their trust on their terms and timetable. Nyla and our foster are both crate trained so separation is always available if need be!
“We are so grateful for you! We couldn’t have asked for a more thoughtful, kind, and attentive sitter. Christina took care our our new rescue dog Raya. She was shy at first, so Christina was patient and loving! We look forward to having you come over again next time. Thanks again!”
“Brittany is so sweet with our pup, Max! She cared for him like her own. Brittany staying with Max gives us such a peace of mind! She took him for all his walks, played with him, and made sure he was safe! We already have Brittany booked again!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Santa Ysabel
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 1,907 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Santa Ysabel. 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 Santa Ysabel 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 Santa Ysabel 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 Santa Ysabel 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.

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.
