“I couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter. Ariel stayed in my home overnight for six nights while I was away, and it was such a relief knowing my dog was in good hands the whole time. Phoebe needs medication at very specific times each day, and Ariel was diligent about sticking to the schedule without me having to worry about it. My house was left in perfect condition, the dog was happy and relaxed when I got home, and communication throughout the trip was great — I got updates and photos, which really put my mind at ease. It's clear Ariel genuinely cares about the animals she looks after. I'd book her again without hesitation and recommend her to anyone needing a trustworthy, reliable in-home sitter.”
“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!”
“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”
About: Starting dog sitting on and off since I was 18 through a few different clients. And it’s just something that I love to do, spend time with the doggies that I sit for and make sure that the family and housesitting for comes back to well taken care of animals in a clean home.I have experience giving medication to doggies and picky eaters! I’m currently in part time retail so i’ll have list of time to hang out with your animals! i’m very active so i like to get out every once and a while! I would be gone at most 5 hours for work, if that does not work for you let me know and i’ll see what i can do!! I care for pets in my clients home just as good as i treat my own pets (of course) I’m willing to take them on walks, give medication, or just hang out and play with them!
“We couldn’t have asked for a better puppy sitter while we were in Vegas! Brooke was great with communication, she got to our place exactly when she said she would and our dog LOVES her!! We will definitely ask her to help us again next time we are in town!”
“We cannot recommend Nadia enough! She has this quiet, lovely demeanor and our senior cat, Gracie, normally shy around people took to her immediately. Nadia house sat and watched our cat during the Christmas holiday and we left with a sound heart. She was responsive with daily updates and cute photos of Gracie. She left our home neat as a pin and with a happy cat. We will forever hire Nadia because she is awesome! -Veronica and David Smith”
“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!”
“Tahlia was great! Our house was left in perfect condition and our dog was very happy to have company while we were away. She was also very flexible when our vacation had to be postponed a day.”
“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!”
“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!!”
“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!”
“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. 😊”
“She watched our 5 babies last minute after I lost my best friend suddenly. She was attentive & made sure the 2 dogs & 3 cats were safe despite my sudden departure. I will be using her again for road trips, family emergencies to week long vacations for sure!!”
“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.”
“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!”
“We decided to make the transition from boarding our dogs while we are gone to getting a dog sitter & Alexa made the transition seamless! Alexa had great communication & sent lots of pictures & videos of our dogs :) We already have our next booking with her & it’s so nice knowing our dogs will be cared for in the best way! :) Thank you Alexa!!”

Ariel did a fantastic job with Ollie and Phoebe. She alerted us upon her arrival and that she was settled in. It really helped put me at ease. Ariel shared pictures and took them on early walks as they are sensitive to heat. I would most definitely recommend Ariel! Amy G
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

FAQs for House Sitting - Santan
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Santan on Rover is $39 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 3,742 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.

- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 98% can help with daily exercise
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.
