“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!”

“We were very anxious to leave our cat Bambi alone for the weekend for the first time and even more stressed when our sitter fell through last minute. Dana was incredibly attentive and patiently accepted all of our requests for Bambi on short notice. I definitely felt so much more assured that Bambi wouldn’t be completely alone and would have someone as compassionate as Dana to accompany him :-) Dana’s updates on Bambi during check ins really reassured us that Bambi was doing well. and in good hands :-) i would definitely consider Dana again in the future ❤️”

About: I grew up with many cats and adopted/foster dogs and began volunteering at my local animal shelter when I was 16. Through these experiences, I have cared for dogs and cats of all ages and levels of timidness. Three years ago, I adopted a previously-abused, very insecure Siberian husky who, with patience and love, has blossomed into a super friendly and confident dog. I am currently getting my Masters in Business online and working part time. My school schedule is very flexible and I am available for day-of bookings. I will care for your pets as if they’re my own and am dedicated to providing a safe and nurturing environment. I know how intimidating strangers can be for some pets and how important having patience is. I am detail-oriented and will follow any instructions to a tee and be very respectful of your home if providing drop in visits. I believe in thorough communication and provide consistent updates to ensure peace of mind.
“Amanda was absolutely wonderful! I had her do drop in visits and would definitely book again! She loved my pup like he was her own and sent lots of pics and videos. 10/10 would recommend!”
“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!”
“We weren’t sure what to expect since Anikka is newer on Rober but she was a great sitter for our fur babies! We appreciated the easy communication and the photo updates, they had a wonderful time with her. We have one dog who is senior and needs a little extra love and she took great care of him. She took our other dog to the park near our house which she loves. Would definitely use her again!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of many different breeds for the last 8-10 years. I love dogs and currently have one 8 month old shepherd rescue that I have been (mostly) independently training at home as well as 2 cats- one whom is 6 years that I adopted when she was only 8 weeks and another that was a stray that my husband & I took in. All our animals are very loved and having them be a part of our lives has been our favorite adventure together 🥰 I am working at a school this year & going back around mid August but during this summer I will be available to check in/walk your dogs throughout the week because I know a busy workday can be stressful when you have your pets at home that would love attention & fun. Whatever your scheduling need is, I would love to discuss how I can be that best fit for you & your fur babies! Since I already have my dog to walk 2-3 times a day, I would love to be able to bring your dog along with us! My trailer park has a private park and is along an easy accessible trail so I can definitely bring your dog here or wherever you prefer we go! I am close by San Marcos and have taken my dog to Bradley Park and Discovery Lake so we would love to bring your fur babies along too!
“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: Hello! My name is Sam and I’ve been taking of cats since I was 8 years old, then I got a dog at 14 and started caring for him as well. I have had five total cats, and I own a Yorkshire terrier, whom I walk everyday. Family members and friends have relied on me to pet sit and all were very satisfied with the job I had done. Animals have always made life so much more enjoyable for me and I just want to return the favor by making them happy :) I only work a few days at my other job so my schedule is predominantly open. My days often include caring for and cleaning up after my three cats and a dog. I will be working outside of my house by visiting your home, walking and caring for your pets in the comfort of their own space.
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Vista is $25

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.
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!

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.
