When I had to extend the stay because of unforeseen circumstances, Kari jumped right in and covered, brought dog toys, and kept my house and babies safe. I’ll use her every time I need someone. She’s fantastic.

About: I can take care of your furry friends with love and care. Everything from feeding to walking, I will be there! Trust me with your fur baby! I am a teacher working in middle school. I love getting out and walking dogs and playing with animals to wind down! Animals are fun to be around, and I love every opportunity I can take to do so. I have two cats that I love on daily and care for. They are my babies! As far your home, I know to respect it and take care of your pet as well as I take care of my own.

About: I spent a few years working at an animal hospital. I am able to administer oral medication and insulin. I have a diabetic dog myself. My life revolves around animals. Taking care of my animals is basically what my life is about. I am big in to animal activism; animals are my life. They will be treated like family! I know how to take care of animals properly and keep them safe. I always feed dogs separately and watch them when they go outside.

About: Hello! My name is Malia Bryant. I’m a second‑year law student looking for a summer side hustle that lets me spend more time with animals. I’ve been passionate about animals of all kinds and sizes for as long as I can remember, and I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I’ve had my own dog for seven years and walk him every day, rain or shine. Caring for him as an adopted dog with both behavioral and health concerns has given me extensive experience with anxious, reactive, or special‑needs pets and the extra patience they sometimes require. I’m reliable, detail‑oriented, and used to balancing a demanding law school schedule with daily pet care, so you can trust that your pet’s routine will be followed closely. Whether you need regular walks, drop‑in visits, or overnight care, I’m excited to meet your animal(s) and treat them like my own. If you have any questions, special instructions, or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I’m happy to accommodate your pet’s specific needs. I am on summer break from law school, so I have plenty of time and a flexible schedule for walks, drop‑in visits, and pet sitting. I focus on safety, routine, and clear communication in both my home and my client’s home. I follow each pet’s feeding, walk, and play schedule, stick to owner instructions (including meds and leash rules), and keep the space clean and secure while sending regular updates.

Kelly was absolutely fantastic! Right from the initial conversation, to the meet and greet and then to the stay her communication was awesome. She was wonderful with my special boys, made them feel so loved and at home while she watched them. Ensured Jack got all his medications on time! She sent lots of photos and messages of the boys relaxing and hanging out. They were so at ease with her! Our house was spotless on return as well. We absolutely lucked out on finding her and are so excited to have her back in the future!

About: I’ve grown up around animals and now care for my own cats, so I’m very comfortable with different personalities—whether they’re super social, a little shy, or full-on chaotic. I’m patient and calm, which helps a lot when pets are adjusting to a new person or environment. I’m good at picking up on behavior changes and routines quickly, so I make sure pets feel as close to “normal life” as possible while their owners are away. I also have experience with basic training habits like litter consistency, reinforcing routines, and helping nervous pets settle in. What sets me apart is that I treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m very attentive to detail, I don’t rush interactions, and I actually enjoy spending quiet time just letting pets warm up at their own pace. I also understand how important communication is, so I always keep owners updated and comfortable while they’re away. Pet care fits into my routine alongside my full-time job. I work Monday through Thursday from 6:00 AM to 5:30 PM, so those days I’m available for early morning check-ins and evening visits after work. I make sure any pets I’m caring for still get consistent attention, feeding, and litter care even on my workdays. On Fridays, weekends, and any time I’m off, I have a lot more flexibility and can do longer visits, more frequent check-ins, or spend extra time with pets if needed. I’m very used to balancing a structured schedule, so I plan ahead and stay consistent with care routines. Since I’m already a cat owner, daily pet care is part of my normal life anyway, so adding Rover visits feels natural and easy to manage responsibly. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat it with the same respect and responsibility as my own. I follow your instructions closely so your pet can stay on their normal routine as much as possible—feeding times, litter box care, medications if needed, and any specific habits or preferences they’re used to. On my workdays (Monday–Thursday), I do check-in visits, usually mornings and evenings. I make sure pets are fed, have fresh water, litter boxes are clean, and they’re doing okay overall. I also take time to give them attention so they don’t feel rushed or lonely. On weekends, I offer in-home sitting and overnight stays. This allows me to spend more consistent time with your pet, keep their routine steady, and provide comfort and companionship throughout the night. I make sure the home stays clean, calm, and secure while you’re away. I understand how important trust is when someone is in your home, so I’m very respectful, careful, and communicative. I always provide updates so you feel reassured and know your pet is safe and cared for.

About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was six years old, starting with my childhood dog. As an adult, I’ve had the joy of caring for my own pets, including three dogs, two rats, several fish, and even chickens. My experience goes beyond my own pets—I’ve also looked after animals for neighbors, family, and friends, ensuring they receive the love and attention they deserve. Whether it's feeding, walking, or simply providing companionship, I take pride in giving every pet the best care possible. I'm currently working part-time as a Door Dasher and Uber Eats delivery driver. So I'll have plenty of time to play and attend to your pups at anytime of the day or night. I'm available for boarding your pets on weekends, and weekdays after 2pm. I live in a house on 10 acres of land so I have plenty of yard for your pups to run around. I also have 2 friendly dogs to keep your fur babies company. Also, if I need to kennel your dog, we do keep a large kennel in the house. We do allow the dogs on the furniture. We also have a bunch of dog toys and dog treats that we get from a monthly membership we pay for.

About: I graduated from Texas State University with a Bachelor’s in Animal Science. I have 6+ years experience in a veterinary hospital setting caring for dogs and cats of all kinds. Animals are a true gift and I believe they all have a unique and special way of communicating with us. Through energy, body language, vocalization and behaviors. If we take the time to slow down and understand each animal for who they are, we can learn so much! I truly look forward to getting to know your fur babies and treating them as my own. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule! Plenty of time for walks, snuggles and backyard playtime. I am home most weekends and can accommodate extended stays or last minute pet care needs. I have a fenced in yard and plenty of room indoors for your pets to relax. I have 1 neutered male dog named Floki that is very well behaved and will love the company of your pets.

If it wasn't for this nice lady we would not have been able to get away for some piece and tranquility for a few days. We desperately needed some time away from home. She was there when she said she would be there and spent the night with him in our home. Earle, our GSD loved her. He is quite high strung so it was imperative that he get along good with her. And he did. Oh he missed us a bunch and the welcome back from him was unbelievable, but we noticed him looking for Kimberly after we had been home for a few hours. We know who we will call from now on when we need to get away. Earle said so!

About: I am a dog loving patient person who enjoys long walks. I have volunteered with the SPCA and have been around teacup Chihuahuas to big and active dogs such as Shepherds, Great Danes, and high energy Greyhounds and Catahoulas. I have owned and taken care of several big dogs most of my life to include: a Shepherd, Black Labs, a couple Dachshunds and a full-blooded Catahoula; so I understand the rigours of the exercise that they need. I am available almost anytime, except for the hours of church. Give me a shout and if you would prefer to meet me before entrusting your faithful companion or baby to my care, I would be happy to meet up with you and rover to see how we click.

About: Our fur babies and fur children are more than mere pets, they're valued members of the family and deserve the dedicated love, honor and respect which they bestow upon us. These traits I've learned from the beloved dogs I've had the pleasure to interact with from youth to now with my Siberian Husky, King Shepherd, and Labrador-Collie puppy. Overnight sitting is best for our pets in their known environment to ease the development of separation anxiety and to provide the appropriate level of comfort with affectionate support and encouraging companionship. By learning the necessary fitness & nutritional values from my mom to engage in a healthy lifestyle for ourselves, our furry family members require the same for their health and stamina to be maintained. I ensure properly safe walks full of scenic beauty filled with pleasant scents to peak curiosity along with free play at the dog park if requested. For daily check-in, to determine the welfare of the pets, I throughly provide clean, fresh water, food, affection, ensure clean bedding, (extra fee for washing if required) short walks and minor play, check everything is in order and health status and mood is excellent. My priority is the fur puppies, fur children, fur adults and fur elders are happy, content, safe, healthy physically, mentally and emotionally prior to departure until I return to them as often as requested and required. It would be my pleasure to assist in the your pets welfare so you can rest at ease until you've returned home to their loving licks. Available Mon-Sun, (Varies upon booking) Holidays: Please book two weeks in advance Last minute sittings, walks, check-in available based on booking schedule. Additional small charge may apply due upon request. My schedule is flexible since I drive for Doordash and Grubhub on my free time. I am available for all days for your booking needs. Pets welfare is essential in their known environment and adherence to the normal life structure set by the owner. I currently do not offer any boarding services.

Where to begin? Jenn is awesome. She is very kind and attentive to my fur baby. My pup Lucy Goosey loves her. She goes above and beyond for her clients. She even helped me find an alternative sitter when she was unavailable for Lucy due to another booking. It’s nice to leave home and know my baby and home are well cared for with Jenn there. She also sends tons of updates and videos/pics! We love her and hope to stay as one of her regular clients :) Thank you Jenn!!! :)

FAQs for House Sitting - Santo

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of July 2026, there are 122 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Santo. 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 Santo 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 Santo 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 Santo 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
