“Virginia is a great Sitter. Our Pup totally enjoyed spending time with her as all the Pics she sent indicates. She followed our requests and maintained a calm, safe environment for our Pup while we were gone. Would definitely ask her to sit for us again.”
“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!”
“I will ask Joel and/or Ashley to house/pet sit in the future. I could immediately see they really care about the animals. Dobby, who has a lot of anxiety, was very chill when I got home from my trip. It was such a relief to see my brats so well cared for.”
“Alicia was great about sending photos and being flexible for our needs. We came back to happy, healthy pups. We have already hired Alicia again, and we are considering another couple days out of town now that we have someone we can trust.”
“Savannah was great! We received photos daily and I knew our girl was in great hands. We came back and our house was in clean condition and dog bedding washed and our Marla was happy. All we can hope for! Thank you again!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Absolutely amazing from start to finish. They showed up right on time, were incredibly respectful, and handled everything with such care — even though our house was a bit chaotic (thank you for being so understanding). They sent us a sweet picture update of our puppy, which meant the world to us. He clearly missed us, but we felt completely confident he was in good hands. Because of that, we were able to relax and truly enjoy our son’s graduation. We are very picky about who watches our pup, and we’re so grateful we found someone we can trust. You will be our first choice from now on. Fantastic job — 10 stars!”
“Our first Rover experience and I seriously cannot express how incredible Erika was! Our dog is very anxious and it was so clear through all her updates and photos that he loved her and trusted her. Erika sent multiple photos daily, took great care of our home, and followed all our dogs instructions for medications, food, activity. We will be using her again for all our Rover needs!”
“Amber is the BEST!!!! My husband and I haven’t traveled in 4 years because we were worried about leaving our pup. We found Amber and loved the fact she is studying to be a vet. She took such good care of our girl. Alabama (our pup) was instantly comfortable with her which hasn’t happened in the 10 years we’ve had her. She has a caring calm energy that Alabama really responded to. She took the best pics, provided great updates and took great care of our home. Will definitely be calling her again! Thanks again, you made traveling for 8 days stress free for us! Thanks Amber!”
“Our sitter Kailey was amazing! She took such great care of our two dogs and really gave us peace of mind while we were on vacation. She followed all the care and feeding instructions and kept our home just the way we left it. She also sent us updates and pictures. The girls were happy and well cared for when we got back. We will definitely be booking her again!”
“Nicole and Rose were great! They were flexible with some last minute changes to the sitting. They sent updates and pictures for me to see how the pups were doing. They were very kind and great to communicate with. Can’t wait for them to house sit my pups again!”
About: I treat every pet like they are my own. I have had my dog for five years and have also cared for many friends’ and families’ pets, so I am used to different personalities, routines, and energy levels. With a flexible schedule, I can give your pet plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, cuddles, and consistency throughout the day. Whether they are energetic, shy, silly, or need a slower pace, I pay attention to what helps them feel comfortable. I also send regular updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. Pet care fits well into my daily routine because I currently have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability. I am able to provide reliable care throughout the day, including walks, feeding, playtime, check-ins, and overnight care when needed. I can also adjust easily to pets’ individual routines and give them consistent attention rather than rushing through visits. I provide attentive, routine-based care that follows each pet’s usual schedule as closely as possible. In a client’s home, I make sure pets have fresh water, meals given exactly as instructed, regular potty breaks or walks, playtime, and plenty of affection and companionship. I also keep their space clean, follow any medication or special-care instructions carefully, and send updates and photos so owners know how their pet is doing.
“Dori was fantastic! She took great care of our dogs and our home, was reliable and responsive, and overall did a great job. We highly recommend her, and will be hiring her in the future!”
About: I have been a pet sitter since middle school. I currently cat sit and dog sit for family and friends. Which include various breeds, age, and sizes. I have a pretty flexible work schedule. I can assure you that your pets will have all of the love and care while you are away. I am attentive to my own animals and I will treat yours like my own. Feeding them as frequently as needed. Also including medications, if needed.
“Adalyn took care of our dog overnight. She sent several photos and updates, and refilled her food and water regularly. Bonus, she left the house cleaner than we left it! Can’t wait to book Adalyn again!”
“Jason did a great job taking care of my dog, Rocco, while I took a short vacation. It was the first time I’d spent any time away from Rocco since I adopted him a few months ago, so it was important for me that his routine and environment stay as constant as possible. Jason spent lots of time with him and took him to his favorite walking site each day. Because of Jason’s care and attention I was able to relax and enjoy my time away, knowing that Rocco was in good hands!”
“Jolie was an amazing pet sitter. She was reliable, caring, and great with Tofu. She kept me updated while I was away, and I could tell my pet was happy and well cared for. I’d definitely trust her again and highly recommend her!”
“Our experience with Abi was wonderful. This was the first time we left our pets without family around and Abi allowed me to relax in knowing they were in great care. In all the pictures, the girls all looked happy and relaxed which was a great sign that everything was okay and calm at the house. Coming back, they were happy to see us but were not desperate for attention which showed me they received it just fine while we were gone. Happy to have Abi as a contact here now for future travels and needs!”

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

FAQs for House Sitting - Santan
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Santan on Rover is $38.5 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 3,691 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Santan. 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 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.
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 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 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.

- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
