“ARIEL was so sweet and took the time to come meet me prior to watching my dogs. My dogs are like my kids so I take great care in choosing someone who I think they will love and they definitely loved her. She left my house better than it was when I left and I couldn’t have appreciated her more with how much time she spent with them.”
“Joel and Ashley did a fantastic job sitting our 2 dogs and cat! This is the first time in a while we’ve needed a sitter, and they did a great job managing our pets’ stress. Joel was also very communicative and easy to reach, and even cleaned a little! It was very reassuring knowing someone was with them the whole time. We’ll definitely contact them next time we need a sitter”
“Jason is wonderful!! Our previous sitter cancel on us and Jason took care of my Hunter and Bella. He is very responsive professional puntual and loving. He sent pictures of the pups and kept us updated. I would definitely use Jason again and I highly recommend him. The pups were very happy with him!”
“Virginia was fantastic! She communicated and sent me photos of my fur babies throughout her stay. She took great care of them and I will definitely be booking her again! I highly recommend her.”
“This was the first time my husband and I have left our fur babies with anyone but a family member or friend, and we are so pleased with our experience! Alanna was kind and professional from the very start. She alleviated any concerns and answered any questions we had for her. She not only came over once prior to our booking, but twice, to ensure the dogs remembered her and were comfortable. Aside from the care she took on our animals, she respected our home while she stayed there with them! It was as clean, or cleaner, than how we left it and we got daily updates and pics and more if requested. We look forward to booking Alanna again for any future dog sitting!”
“Nadia was wonderful. My dog Jackson is not trusting of others or dogs. Her experience with dogs coupled with her patience Jackson felt safe and warmed up to her. After a slow introduction to her dog Shellie, the two were playing together! Miracle worker in my eyes. Nadia was very respectful of my home and it was clean when I got home from my 8 day vacation. She kept me updated with his eating and walking schedule. I have only kind things to say about her abilities as a in home pet sitter.”
“I had a fantastic experience with Zach! He did an amazing job taking care of my pup while I was away. Not only did he keep him happy and healthy, but he also went above and beyond to ensure he was well cared for. I was so grateful for the regular updates, messages, and videos that kept me in the loop and reassured me that my dog was in good hands. I highly recommend Zach (and his canine side-kick Buzz) to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog-sitter!”
“Thalia was reliable, punctual, communicative, and kind. Spent the whole day at my house with my dog that has separation anxiety. When I arrived home, everything looked just as it was before and my dog was her usual waggley self. We will definitely use her services again!”
“Lexi was amazing! I know both the girls fell in love with her! She did an amazing job with Roxy and Sadie… She provided constant communication, fun little pictures and stories and daily updates… Sometimes hourly lol We have already booked her for our upcoming trip in September! We, as well as our girls, will look forward to having Lexi take care of them again. 😊”
“I was ready to give up on Rover after many failed attempts to secure a sitter but am so glad I found Grace! She was very friendly and communicative. Immediately upon meeting I could tell my dog and home would be in good hands. I am confident my boy got plenty of love from Grace while I was gone and I will definitely be having her return!”
“Kylee was absolutely wonderful with my two anxious fur babies. Not to mention she reduced my anxiety with her frequent texts and pictures. I just loved Kylee and I would highly recommend her to everyone. You will not be disappointed. Thank you Kylee. 🩷🩷🩷”
“Natalie was wonderful. She sent daily updates and pictures and our pets were well loved and cared for while we were gone. We will absolutely reach out to Natalie for future pet sitting needs.”

“Ashley took very good care of our Jack Russell terrier, Jilli. She made sure that Jilli had lots of play time and simulation. She is extremely reliable and thorough. She was on time for our meet and greet and asked appropriate questions putting our minds at ease. She sent picks and updates every day. I would highly recommend her to care for your pets and will be using her again!!”
“Our very anxious beagle warmed up to Nicole very quickly. She stayed with her and kept us updated throughout our time away. This was our first time using Rover and so we were initially not sure what to expect. We did a few meet and greets prior to our leaving and we felt very comfortable with Nicole and her calm presence. She was patient and warm with our dog. We would recommend her to anyone with a dog that needs a lot of extra love and attention. Thank you for watching our dearest little Stella.”
“Alexa D. — Absolutely phenomenal! I’m not going to lie… I was a bit nervous in general. My panic button had already set in before we even left for our trip. 😂 Rest assured, though, none of that had anything to do with Alexa. It was pure fur-baby separation anxiety — owner-induced. 😂 We have a German Shepherd and two cats. Our German can be a little territorial and stubborn, but once he knows you, he is an absolute lover. Our two cats, however, are not fond of men, so having a female sitter was mandatory. One of our cats also has epilepsy, so we needed someone who was comfortable with medication and capable of handling our very specific needs. Alexa checked all the boxes on paper, but we absolutely needed a meet-and-greet. The kitties were skeptical, as they always are. They don’t really meet and greet people — they observe from somewhere in the background. 😂 Our German Shepherd, on the other hand, took to Alexa in literally a minute. That alone was incredibly reassuring. The cats were still hiding in the background, though, and because one of them needed medication, I was still a little nervous. Alexa came to our home the night we left and arrived early. Our German wanted to razz her for a minute — literally a minute. When a call came in, Alexa even let me talk to my boy so I could help him settle down. And just like that… she won his heart. ❤️ We went through everything with the cats, especially the one who needed medication. Within minutes, they were all comfortable enough to want attention and cuddles. I cannot tell you how reassuring that was. Throughout our trip, Alexa kept us updated with constant communication and videos. Seeing our babies happy, comfortable, and cared for put my soul completely at ease. She was extremely professional, patient, compassionate, and incredibly empathetic to every single worry I had. Alexa also stayed overnight in our home while we were gone. And if you know me at all, you know I am an absolute spaz about people I don’t know being in my home. 😂 Not once — not for one single minute — did I feel worried. When we came home, it was obvious how comfortable our babies were with her and how well she had cared for them. That says everything. Alexa went above and beyond for us. She didn’t just watch our pets — she cared for them like they mattered. I highly, highly recommend Alexa to anyone looking for someone to care for their babies. Especially if you’re an anxious pet parent like me who needs someone trustworthy, communicative, compassionate, and willing to go the extra mile. We will absolutely be using her services again. Honestly, we feel above and beyond lucky that we picked Alexa out of the wild-card draw. Sometimes you really do get lucky. ❤️🐾 Thank you, Alexa, for taking such amazing care of our babies — and for giving this anxious mama some peace of mind while we were away. ❤️”
About: I've had dogs my whole life and have cared for my own dogs and family members' dogs for years: feeding, walks, playtime, giving medication when needed, and keeping them safe and happy. I'm new to Rover, but not new to dogs. I'm young, active, and have plenty of energy for long walks and playtime, which high-energy dogs need. I take the time to learn your dog's routine and personality so they feel comfortable while you're away, and I send regular photo updates so you never have to wonder how they're doing. I'm a full-time college student (living at home) with a flexible schedule, so I plan my week around the pets I'm caring for. I'm available for walks and drop-ins [with my corresponding availability] and for house sitting [on weekends / most nights]. I live in Seville and serve clients within about 10-15 miles, so I can get to you quickly. I send photo and text updates during every visit so you always know how your pet is doing! Your pet's safety comes first. Before every booking, I am available to do a meet-and-greet to learn your pet's routine, feeding schedule, medications, and habits, and I follow your instructions as best as possible. In your home, I keep doors and gates secured, stick to your pet's normal routine, and treat your house with respect. If given to me, I will keep your vet's contact information on hand, and bookings are covered by Rover's guarantee.
“Tiffany took great care of our fur baby. She was attentive and very caring. She also took the time to send picture messages and updates of how things were going. She is a very friendly and kind person.”
“Brooke was fabulous when caring for our furry family! I felt at ease and comfortable while away, knowing they were in caring hands. Thank you for taking the extra time and effort with our Scooby. We’ll be reaching out in the future!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Santan is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Santan
Wow ..I was super nervous about our 10 day trip to France because our in and out cat Norman is a handful. Found Katarina and she did an amazing job coming over twice a day plus courageously kept Norman inside most of the time. She kept up with all the food liter and chores I asked of her plus spoiled Norman with lots of love. Will for sure ask for her help again. Highly recommended
This is the 2nd time we have used Nadia to house sit and watch our beloved cat, Gracie. We never worried that Gracie wasn’t in the best care. Nadia sent several pictures daily with updates. Our home was tidy and neat as a pin. I recommend Nadia highly because she is such a lovely, caring and compassionate person. Veronica and David Smith

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 Santan 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 Santan 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Santan 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 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 Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
