“Virginia was absolutely fantastic with Jackie and Jilly! The picture we received were absolute proof! :) Virginia was great with the overnight stays and we couldn’t feel more comfortable with anyone else taking care of our pups! We will definitely keep her as our go to sitter! She was terrific! Thank you Virginia! :)”
“Alanna was great with my 3 boys. I got updates and pictures every morning. When I returned home, my dogs were happy, my house was clean and everything back to normal. I have already let Alanna know I want her to watch them next time.”
“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”
“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!”
“I would like to recommend Alexia to anyone who is looking for a TRUE animal lover and caregiver as their primary incentive for pet sitting . Alexia bonded with my pets and gave them individual attention . I also received regular updates from her while I was away . I was reassured with her staying in my home and knew that she would look after everything as if it was her own. I came home to happy healthy pups and a clean sparkling home that was well cared for !!! I absolutely give her five out of five because she is so committed to making sure that the puppies are well cared for and goes beyond what is expected to making sure things are kept up .Thank you Alexia from Lucy,Jazzy and Kit Kat !!! XO Wags”
About: I grew up with dogs my entire life and have been pet sitting since I was a teenager. I have two dogs of my own who are my children and any pet I care for will be treated as if they’re my own. I have a lot of experience caring for older dogs since my parents dogs lived until they were 16 and 17yo. I have a full-time work from home job that I can work from anywhere as long as you have internet. I do work nights but work every other week. If you don’t mind me working while your pet sleeps I can sit on weeks I work. My job allows me plenty of flexibility to provide the best care for your pet. First and foremost, I care for every pet as if they’re my own. It’s a big deal to leave someone/something you love with another person, not just for you but for your pet. I will adapt to whatever routine your pet is on. However, I don’t do off leash play outside of a fenced yard or walks.
“Alicia was a lifesaver! Two days away from a two week trip, and we find one of our two elderly kitties has a mysterious infection and needs meds twice a day, with a chance that things might take a turn for the worse. This was just too much to ask of our friends who usually stop by to check on them. Rover to the rescue! Within a few minutes, our request was answered by Alicia. She came to the house to get acquainted, and fit right in with our little family. Having her spend the nights so sick kitty wasn't alone was such a relief! The daily photos and updates were very reassuring, and all was well. Definitely will call on her again in the future. Thank you, Alicia!”
About: Hi! Life long animal lover. I’m a former private chef turned house sitter and currently a dog trainer student. With my children grown and a life of ease, house and pet sitting gives me exactly what I love most — purposeful connection, beautiful animals, and the privilege of caring for someone’s most important things while they’re away. I care for cats and dogs full time which allows me to be very flexible when it comes to your sitting needs. With a lifetime of experience caring for others, a professional standard built from years in hospitality and culinary arts, and a genuine love for animals that goes beyond a side hustle. As an empty nester my energy is calm, clean, and completely focused on whoever — and whatever — is in my care. No small children, no chaotic schedules, no distractions are part of my daily lifestyle. When your pets are with me they have my full attention, my full presence, and the kind of unhurried care that only comes from someone who actually wants to be there. What you can expect from me: — A hospitality-trained professional who treats your home with the same respect she’d want for her own — Consistent communication — updates, photos, and check-ins so you can actually enjoy your time away — A calm, experienced presence for animals of all temperaments — I understand animal behavior, I read energy well, and I don’t rattle easily--I'll be learning delving more into professional certified dog training and animal behaviorist soon. Did I mention that, "I love this lifestyle?" I do. — Someone who genuinely loves this — not as a gig, but as a natural extension of who I am. I pet sit full time. Therefore I'm free to travel and pet sit any hour or day. Last minute sits are welcomed. Reach out anytime. I am reliable, discreet, warm, and deeply committed to the trust you place in me when you hand over your keys. Your home and your animals will be in good hands. That’s not a promise I make lightly.
“Erika was communicative, on time, and did great with my boy while I was away. This was our first time using her and she was very flexible with her meet and greet to ensure it was a good fit. While away, she sent daily updates and pictures which always puts my mind at ease. I would use her again to watch my boy.”
“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!”
“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!”
“Ady was kind, gentle and my girls could sense she was an animal lover since they all came to say hi right away which is a rare thing. We came back and everyone was doing great, happy and healthy. That's all I could ask for.”
“Kiersten was just great help with my dogs and my dogs absolutely loved her and coco is very picky when it comes to people and coco ran right up to her and instantly loved her and Coco can be little temperamental sometimes and she was not with Kiersten. She even stayed later for me because my flight got in so late. I will absolutely be using her again. She was amazing. She did everything as I asked, and more. Kiersten is so sweet and so sweet to my dogs. She took plenty of pictures and sent them to me which I loved and didn’t complain not one time because my AC was out upstairs so made the downstairs a little bit hotter then normal downstairs🥵 😬 she gave my dog lots of attention which made me feel much much better about not being there with them. I don’t even think my dogs realize I was gone because Kiersten was so amazing with Coco and Daisy and Ziah. I can’t wait to be able to have her come watch them again cause i know they will be in the best of care. And I’m So happy I finally found a good sitter for my dogs and home !!! Thank you so much Kiersten I will be in touch for sure. You are the best.!!!!!!”
“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!”
“Kylee was very polite and took wonderful care of our dogs, and home! Everything looked nicer then when I left it, and she gave us consistent updates and pictures each day which we really enjoyed. Thank you so much Kylee, definitely will be happy to have your help in the future!”

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.
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

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.

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.
