About: I have over 7 years of hands-on experience as a dog owner, providing daily care including walks, feeding, and lots of love. I truly enjoy being around animals and am comfortable caring for both dogs and cats. I’m patient, attentive, and treat every pet like part of the family. I am currently not working, so I have plenty of time and flexibility in my day. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I am fully available to give pets the attention, walks, and care they need. I take care of pets in their own home by following their normal routine as closely as possible. I make sure they are fed on time, have fresh water, get regular walks, and receive plenty of attention and companionship so they feel comfortable and secure.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, and rabbits for neighbors and friends since I was 10. I grew up with dogs, and loved helping train them. I have found great success with force free training! I am a student, so I have time during the week for dog walks and at home check ins! I may have occasional weekend availability as well, but will be able to help out most on weekdays. I don’t offer care for pets at my home, but I am happy to work with whatever requests you have. I am very flexible and happy to accommodate specific rules if needed, I know every pet has their own quirks :)
“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!”
“First time using River after moving across the country, couldn’t be happier with having Bruno stop in and look after my senior pup. Very open communication, asked any questions he needed clarification on, and adjusted to different situations that happened throughout his visits. Would definitely book Bruno again in the future.”
“Jeanne did an amazing job taking care of my kitten! She took time to play and cuddle with him and he absolutely loved her! It made me feel much better being away from him especially when she gave detailed notes from her visits and shared the cutest pictures of him! Highly recommend using Jeanne for your pet sitting needs:)”
About: Hi! We’re Karlee & Jordan, a dog-loving couple who believes every pet deserves to feel safe, loved, and at home while their family is away. We understand how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member in someone else’s care, which is why we treat every dog who stays with us as if they were our own. Because we work together, your pup benefits from two dedicated caregivers instead of one. We prioritize boarding in our home, where we can provide a calm environment, plenty of companionship, and nearly constant supervision. Whether your dog enjoys playing at the nearby park, relaxing on our private patio, or curling up on the couch for snuggles, we’ll make sure they feel comfortable, secure, and loved throughout their stay. Animals have always been a big part of our lives, and caring for them is something we genuinely enjoy. Together, we have experience with dogs of all sizes and personalities—from tiny companion breeds to large, energetic dogs like German Shepherds. Karlee has experience caring for a wide variety of animals, including dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, reptiles, fish, and birds. This experience has taught her how to recognize different temperaments, adapt to each animal’s unique needs, and provide patient, attentive care. Jordan has years of experience caring for both dogs and cats and is especially comfortable establishing routines, providing exercise, and helping pets feel safe and comfortable in a new environment. Together, we make a great team, ensuring your pet always has plenty of attention, affection, and supervision. We know every dog is unique. Whether your pup loves long walks, endless games of fetch, quiet cuddle time, or simply sticking to their normal routine, we’re happy to tailor our care to what makes them happiest. We’re also comfortable administering oral medications, following feeding schedules, reinforcing training routines, and accommodating any special instructions you provide. Our goal is simple: to give you complete peace of mind while you’re away, knowing your dog is being cared for with the same love, patience, and attention we’d give our own.
“Laura is one of the best sitters I’ve ever had! Fantastic communication, lots of care for my dogs and going above and beyond to make sure my pups were happy and getting everything they needed. I would recommend her to anyone!!”
“Beyonce did such a good job with my dog Luna and took care after her. Luna is an anxious elderly dog and she really warmed up to Beyonce. She had great communication every time and was very flexible. Will definitely be booking again!”
About: I am responsible and punctual, I can accommodate various schedules including holidays and last minute requests. I can also take your animals to vet or grooming appointments as needed. I am also committed to sending regular updates to keep you informed of your pets' well-being. I'm very passionate for animals, I will treat any pet as if they were my own! :) I'm currently working part-time, but I have plenty of time on weekdays and occasional weekends to drop in and take care of your pups for a walk, to feed and to play! I can housesit as well, including any other care for your pets that must be provided. I have three kitties and a dog. When caring for my pets, whether in my home or a client's home, I prioritize their well-being and comfort. Every pet is unique and I tailor my services to meet their specific needs, preferences and routines. I make sure the animals get regular exercise, nutritional care and cleanliness. Safety always comes first, I ensure a pet-friendly environment free from hazards. While caring for a pet in a client's home, I treat the property with respect and leave it in the same condition as I found it.
“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 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.
“Mimi went above and beyond caring for my sweet, super senior girl. She is very experienced and knowledgeable and noticed right away when something was off with my baby. She took her straight to the vet and her quick actions have given my baby the best chance to recover from a sudden medical emergency. She kept me updated on everything. She continues to check in and is just so sweet. I could not recommend Mimi enough!”
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.
About: As a lifelong dog lover and the proud owner of five wonderful dogs throughout my life, I’ve been caring for pets since I was 11 years old. I’m currently a full-time college student, and spending time with animals is one of my greatest joys. Whether it’s going on energetic runs or playing a game of fetch, I make sure every pup gets the exercise, engagement, and love they need. I always treat the pets I care for as if they were my own, because I understand just how much they mean to their families. I’m happy to accommodate any special needs your dog may have and follow all instructions closely. Long walks and attentive care are guaranteed, though I can’t promise I won’t sneak them an extra treat or two! As a part-time college student, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of free time to dedicate to caring for animals. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine—I genuinely enjoy spending time with pets, whether it’s going on walks, playing, or just offering some calm companionship. My availability allows me to give each pet the attention and care they deserve, without feeling rushed or distracted. I provide pet care in my clients’ homes, where pets are most comfortable in their familiar environment. I make sure to follow all routines and instructions closely—whether it’s feeding, administering medication, going on walks, or giving them playtime and attention. I keep the space tidy, respect your home, and make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Vista
Jeanne is a rock star! She is super reliable, caring, takes amazing pet photos and writes excellent updates, often with humor and characterizations of our pet. We had an ant crisis and she handled it with expertise, good judgement, and outstanding communication! She handled several bonafide crisis with care, sensitivity and level headed decision making. Our cat absolutely LOVES Jeanne. We are so grateful to Jeanne and hope that she is available to us in the future. She is definitely our "go to" pet sitter. Kudos Jeanne!
This was our first time using Rover and Sydney was amazing! She took such good care of our dog while we were away. We appreciated the pictures and updates we got from her. Sydney is very sweet and professional, we will definitely be using her again in the future!
Sydney is absolutely fantastic! My little pup is very shy around new people but within a day or two, he warmed up to Sydney and felt very comfortable with her. She is super responsive, communicative, and provides great rover cards. I love receiving her updates immediately following her drop ins!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Vista on Rover is $23.31 per visit (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 9,862 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
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
