“Satine took great care of our dog in our home while we were away. Our dog doesn't love to walk in the rain, but Satine did a great job of taking her for walks and ensuring she got exercise and mental stimulation. I appreciate her being dedicated enough to take her for walks in inclement weather. Satine also did a great job keeping our dog company. We could tell our dog was well cared for when we returned home.”
“Definitely the most professional dog sitter we have found so far, we were very happy with Daniel and will gladly reserve his services for when we next leave town. He is very experienced with dogs and it is obvious that he loves working with them. He is strong and gentle and handles our two large dogs with firmness, patience and compassion. Our dogs were both experiencing different health issues at the time we left so we ended up making special requests for their diet and care. These combined with their normal daily routine resulted in 3 pages of notes which he carefully followed. We returned to calm, contented pets in healthier condition than when we left. He stayed overnight at our house and it was cleaner and in better order than we left. He tended to our mail, deliveries and garbage/recycling perfectly without asking. We felt as though the house was in good hands so that we could enjoy our break. He was very available to us, and always responded to our texts immediately. The daily photos were fun, too. He took the dogs on a few special hikes that matched their energy and endurance perfectly - like a long drive and hike out at Mori Point, and other fun spots within the city. We would not only recommend Daniel but will be calling him again within a few weeks.”
“Muhammad watched our cat over a long weekend and it was clear the two of them had a wonderful time! He sent us lots of pictures and videos, which were really nice. I’ll definitely rebook in the future!”
About: I grew up with a rescue pit bull and three rescue cats, which taught me early on how to provide gentle and compassionate care. In addition to that I've been doing professional animal visits for the last 4 years across multiple platforms, and have been loving the opportunity to meet all of these wonderful animals and families. I personally do very well with anxious or reactive animals, which need a more gentle presence around them. If your pet has any special needs, medications, or health concerns, I’m more than happy to discuss them with you. I’ll always take the time to learn what needs to be done and follow your preferred approach to ensure your pet’s comfort and safety. I am committed to providing a loving home and continuing any training or scheduling already established. My goal is to make you and your pets experience as seamless as possible! This upcoming semester, Fall 2026, I currently have two openings for a weekly walker or drop-in visit routine, I'm available Monday-Wednesday 9:30am-11am, and Tuesday and Thursday afternoons between 4:00pm-6:00pm. I will also be available for drop-in visits or as needed walks, so please feel free to reach out. This upcoming semester, Fall 2026, I currently have two openings for a weekly walker or drop-in visit routine, I'm available Monday-Wednesday 9:30am-11am, and Tuesday and Thursday afternoons between 4:00pm-6:00pm. I will also be available for drop-in visits or as needed walks, so please feel free to reach out. I work from home in the Mission/Excelsior region, and go to school at CCSF, so I have a fairly flexible weekday schedule outside of Wednesdays and can often accommodate short-notice bookings. However, since I rely on public transit, I’m currently limiting services to locations within about a 30-minute bus ride from Balboa Park. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make it my priority to respect both the pet’s routine and the home itself. I aim to create a calm, comforting environment that helps your pet feel safe and cared for while you're away. I always follow the care instructions you provide closely, whether it’s feeding schedules, medication, walks, or playtime routines. Above all, I treat your pets and your home with the same care and respect I’d want for my own.
“Joe dog sat with us for 4 days at our home. We met him up earlier to make sure he and Nala were a good fit. Throughout our trip, he was kind, reliable, and responsive. We are so happy to have had him. Nala did great with him!”
“Monica was prompt and flexible in terms of adjusting to our travel schedule. She was great at getting our dogs out for multiple walks during the day. Our two dogs were well cared for by Monica, and we will definitely use her again!”
“Julia spent time with our dog Scout during our wedding weekend. She was so great with him, communicating updates and photos throughout her stays so we had plenty of peace of mind. Scout was so happy to see Julia and we can tell he really enjoyed his time with her. We are grateful to have found a reliable and trustworthy dog sitter in SF”
“Grace took great care of our 4 year old Retriever. She was responsive and provided nice updates throughout our trip. She stayed in our home and we came back to a house in the same condition as we left it. We will definitely be using Grace again for future trips.”
“Joytika stayed with my senior cat Taylor and did a great job of attending to her special needs, socializing with her, and looking after her and my apartment over two weeks during the holiday months. When I returned the apartment was just as I had left it, and Taylor was clearly happy with having a new friend and sitter while I was away. Would recommend booking Joytika!”
“Nicole is an absolute GEM. Extremely professional and responsible during her 3 night stay with our two elderly dogs who require numerous medications. Returned home to happy and relaxed dogs and a spotless house. We are so happy we found Nicole!”
“Alexandra was a very responsive communicator throughout the entire process! She sent photos throughout her stay, and was also able to provide medications to my cat upon short notice. I would book her again!”
“We have booked Kristin multiple times to puppy sit our 12 week old puppy and she has been fantastic! She is very dog savvy, communicative and kind. Highly recommend!”
“Mick seemed very comfortable with our older dog. He was patient with her and great at following instructions related to her habits. I would happily request him again!”
“Caroline takes wonderful care of Nala, and of the apartment as well! Nala has a lot of anxiety but is very at ease with Caroline and Caroline helps her stay calm throughout the day.”
“Velma was great - kept my shy kitty happy and gave him lots of affection. She also sent daily updates and photos/videos and responded to any questions I had super fast. Thanks again, Velma!”
“This was our second booking with Tasherit and she was fantastic. She took excellent care of our senior dog, Ellie, and kept us updated with thoughtful, detailed messages and photos throughout her stay. She left our home extremely clean and was a great communicator from start to finish. During our trip, Ellie unexpectedly became sick, and Tasherit handled everything with incredible care and professionalism. She acted quickly, took Ellie to the vet, administered her medications, and kept us informed every step of the way. Being away while your dog is sick is stressful, but Tasherit gave us tremendous peace of mind. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog and would absolutely book her again.”

Jessica was great with our two dogs. We have an adolescent German shepherd who is still training to be less reactive and not pull on leash as much. He needs a lot of exercise and she was great at meeting his needs. I’m used to coming home to a very frustrated dog when we travel but this time he seems very happy like his needs were met. I’m also used to him typically going backwards in training when we are away but it seems Jessica really kept up with this, which is also so nice for us. We also have a little chihuahua who loves to cuddle and she is very happy as well. If you are looking for a dog sitter who really understands and cares about dogs we highly recommend Jessica. She also helped care for a wound our shepherd got just before we left, which we have returned to looking very well healed. She is very attentive and responds quickly. We will definitely book her again for our dogs.
Shihua ("Stephanie") has taken such good care of our 3 month old lab puppy Bean over the last few weeks, with both drop in visits and a weekend stay at our home. Bean can be a handful (teething, chewing, lots of energy and other young puppy antics), and Shihua handles her beautifully and with a smile! She is very thorough about our dog's care and routine and very thoughtful. We'd highly recommend.
Seng is absolutely fantastic! We have used Seng several times for dog walking when needed and we recently had her dog sit in our home for 4 nights and she did a great job taking care of our dog. Seng was very communicative throughout the day, followed our dog’s schedule, and showed our dog lots of love. Additionally, she took really good care of our home — cleaning up after herself, throwing out the trash, and leaving the house in excellent condition. Our dog is always very excited to see Seng and we’ve been beyond happy working with her. I can’t recommend her enough!
Benjamin was such a great weekend sitter for our kitten! During our meet and greet, he asked great questions and took notes — it was clear he had a really high standard of care. And during the stay we got lots of pictures and updates which we always love! We came back to a super clean house that was well cared for. We’d love to have Benjamin back!
We had a fantastic experience with Jessica. She took great care of our older and quirky dog, and we could tell by the updates she shared he was having a great time. She also left the house in fantastic shape, too. We hope to have the opportunity to book with her again soon!
My dog care fell through a couple days before going away and I needed someone to stay with my dogs for 2 nights. My older boy is easy going , but my little guy has a lot of stranger danger and I was pretty stressed about finding care I felt good about . Emily came through with an easy going confident energy and her responsiveness was much appreciated when time was running out. She found time for a meet and greet and wasn’t intimidated by my little one’s antics. In the end it all worked out and I was able to attend an out of town wedding without being stressed out about my dogs and home the whole time . Thanks Emily .
Daniel took care of my senior dog while I was away, and made sure that he was well walked and fed. He sent regular updates and pictures, communicated clearly about needs and expectations, and most importantly gave Butch the space and care he needed to be comfortable while I was gone! I appreciated the peace of mind that Daniel provided through his friendly attitude and attention to detail in taking care of my dog.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Vista Del Monte is $70 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $36 and $149 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 Vista Del Monte 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 Vista Del Monte 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 Vista Del Monte 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.

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.
