“Beyonce took great care of our fur babies! She communicated with us each visit to keep us in the loop and always provided photos so we can see our doggies happy faces. Beyonce was awesome and the dogs loved her!”
“Eric was absolutely amazing not only was he great at communicating, sending photos, and overall greatness he also was available last min and I truly appreciated it! Thank you Eric will definitely use again!”
About: I have experience training puppies, bathing, grooming, and taking care of older pets with medical conditions. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, cats, rabbits, reptiles, and aquatic friends. I currently work part-time and I’m studying for the MCAT with plenty of time to look after your pets and housesit. I only work a few hours a week in after school care, so I can dedicate most of my time to ensuring your pets are well taken care of. I understand separation anxiety while you’re away may affect some pets more than others. Keeping them comfortable at home would prevent adding on more stress to your pet and you. Thus, I would prefer to stay overnight and pick up where you left off with their routine. I’m very calm, reliable, know how to handle emergency situations, and I’m an animal whisperer :)
“Our dog flunked her doggie daycare test. Rather than send her to doggie jail, we checked out Rover, and it went so smoothly! Laura is exactly the person you’d want to care for your fur baby. She is clearly a dog lover, friendly, kind, responsible, and punctual. I had no worries while she was taking care of our dog.”
“Jeanne was once again a wonderful sitter for my cat! She always takes the time to play with him and capture adorable pictures/write detailed reports during her check-ins. She is very responsive and reliable and I will continue to use her as a Rover as long as she’s available!”
About: I currently work with dogs full time, I grew up taking care of my family and friends animals while they were away. I studied animal science at URI and have experience with dogs ranging from pekingese to great pyrenees. I’m currently in a K9 section taking care of shepherds and malinois, I go in early so my evenings and weekends are completely free to take care of your furry companions. I will treat your house respectfully and make sure your fur baby(s) get all the exercise they need and make sure they’re fed.
About: I’ve taken care of a variety of dog breeds since age 15. I previously volunteered in the dog training school at the Humane Society in Minnesota, training puppies through adult dogs in basic skills. I have owned two large breed dogs into their senior years and currently have a pandemic pup who is now 6 years old. I will walk short and slow walks or energetic and longer walks as needed! I’m recently retired and have plenty of time now to help fellow dog owners with busy schedules keep their dogs exercised and happy. I walk daily and would love to have your pup join me. I have a smaller fenced yard and a 55 lb pup of my own. Most of her exercise is walking out in the neighborhood and if the dogs are good together we can all walk as a group. We previously had a second dog, a St Bernard, so our current pup is used to walking with other dogs.
“Alexandra was wonderful! She was very attentive and communicative and was flexible when my little guy needed to start a medication at the last minute. Would definitely ask her again!”
“Maddy is an amazing sitter. She was super thorough with Jack who needs medication and his meals served a certain way. Thanks Maddy, Looking forward to working with you again! Samantha”
About: I'm a reliable, caring, and active dog lover who enjoys walks, playtime, and drop-in visits. I'll treat your pup like it's my own and be sure they get plenty of attention, love, and exercise while you're away! I have always loved dogs and know how important it is to have someone you can trust care for your pet. I currently work as a restaurant server, so I have plenty of free time most days and evenings if I work during lunch. I would love nothing more than to spend my free time with your pup getting us both some sun and exercise! I currently live in an apartment so walks and drop in visits are what i'm offering! I don't have a yard so not offering in home serivices at the moment.
About: Dogs have always felt like family to me. I grew up with them, caring for, training, and learning that dogs need more than just supervision. They need patience, structure, and a home where they feel safe. Since I work from home, I’m around most of the day to give your dog steady walks, companionship, and attention. Whether your dog is high-energy and needs structure or anxious and needs patience, I’ll meet them where they are and help them feel comfortable. I’ll follow your dog’s routine closely, treat them like my own, and keep you updated so you always know they’re in good hands. I work remotely, so caring for dogs fits very naturally into my day. Since I’m home most of the time, your dog won’t be left alone for long stretches and will get regular attention, supervision, walks, and companionship throughout the day. I'm available most days – even holidays! Just let me know what dates you're interested in booking and I'll do my best to accommodate your pup into my schedule. I keep my home clean, calm, and safe so dogs can settle in and feel comfortable while they’re here. I know every dog has their own routine, so I follow your instructions closely, including meals, walks, crate time, medications, exercise needs, and any special care requirements. I’m comfortable with crate training when needed, and I always make safety the priority, both at home and on walks. I’ll also send regular updates so you can relax and know your dog is happy, cared for, and doing well.
“I felt safe leaving my cats in Misty's care, and when we got home they seemed happy and well takem care of. Misty was great at following my detailed instructions and sending pictures and report cards. I will definately rebook with her in the future.”
“Jaida is an incredible doggy caretaker to our Indy girl She is kind, loving, attentive and goes above and beyond her rover duties. We would love to have her back any time we go out of town she’s the best!”
About: I am kind and loving and gentle but firm when needed. Years of experience raising various pets and kids. What you out in is what you get out when it comes to your pets I’m home other than running and hiking and being a mom taxi. I have a lot of free time during the week. I attend hikes on so long runs on Saturday mornings and I attend church on Sunday mornings and serve in kids ministry I currently have a beloved cat, so I do not offer boarding in my own home. I provide care in the client’s home where pets are most comfortable in their familiar environment. I carefully follow feeding, medication, exercise, and routine instructions.
“Yajahyra is a wonderful sitter! I have scheduled many drop-in visits with her for my dog Star over the last few months. I am picky with details and she’s always communicative, positive and accommodating. Highly recommend her!”
About: I have been taking care of pets for years, and I love spending time with all animals. I help friends and family when they are gone on vacations or even close neighbors who need their pets taken care of. I honestly have so much love for animals and believe they are the best friends for hoomans. I lost my old man in 2025, and definitely have a soft spot for the older ones, but enjoy the way puppies have so much energy as well. Whenever I had to leave my little guy with someone I just wanted to trust he was being loved and taken care of as I would if it were me, and that is what I strive to do for all animals I sit/walk for. People want to know their pet is safe and having a good time so they can enjoy their time and not need to worry, and that is my goal. I currently am working from home and have to occasionally meet clients outside of my home. My schedule is very adaptive to being able to walk, feed, play, or whatever is needed. I have a fenced yard and my house is very dog friendly and in my opinion they run the home. That being said if there are rules for your dog I will adhere to them as to not break any training they are currently in or have learned.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Vista
Olivia was wonderful! I could tell right away that she took great care of my boys and kept everything so clean. I know my cats can make quite a mess around their food and litter every day, so coming home to those areas spotless was such a nice surprise! She was very punctual, and I loved receiving their little daily report cards and photos. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were in good hands while we were away. I will definitely hire Olivia again!
Laura was absolutely amazing in taking care of our two dogs on the hottest day of the year so far. She went above and beyond by giving them a refreshing walk and even cuddled with them on the couch, ensuring they were comfortable and happy. Her dedication and love for animals truly shone through, and we couldn’t be more grateful for her exceptional service. Thank you, Laura, for making such a hot day so enjoyable for our furry friends!
Rhonda took great care of our cat. She kept her food and water bowls clean, and kept the litter box area clean also, Plus, she and our cat seemed to enjoy one another's company. This made us happy, because our cat is a social, loving creature, and she would have been lonely without Rhonda.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Vista on Rover is $23.31 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 9,902 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Vista. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Vista stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Vista. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
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.
