“Monica took great care of my aging, somewhat needy pittie and her sister kitty, and kept me informed with messages and photos. Great communication! My house was left clean and linens washed. My deck plants were also well taken care of. Hope for a repeat someday.”

“David stayed with our dogs for a week while we were on vacation and he took such great care of them. He messaged us frequently with photos of their dog walks each day and informe sus of anything unusual happening at the house. We will definitely be requesting his services again!”

“Vanessa watched our sweet lab Utah for 10 days while we went on vacation. I could tell Vanessa truly loves caring for animals as she spent so much time with Utah to make sure she was happy. Utah got multiple walks a day, played fetch at the park and lots of snuggles. It was quite a challenge to get Utah to part ways with Vanessa once we returned from vacation. They had become the best of buds. We are so glad to have finally found our go-to sitter for when we leave town. We also made her our regular walker as Utah demands having her in our lives!”

“I absolutely adore Angela, she came to watch our extremely clingy Great Dane and she handled him with so much love and attention. She checked in every day to let us know how he was doing and by the end of the trip they had clearly become best friends, he even searched the house looking for her once she departed! We will absolutely be asking Angela to look after Quentin again!!”

About: I grew up surrounded by dogs of all sizes and have volunteered at shelters and adoption events like Rocket Dog Rescue and Pets Lifeline since I was a kid. Through this rescue work, I am experienced in safe new dog introductions and behavioral de-escalation. I adopted my current dog at an event I was working and raised her as my emotional support animal on my busy college campus, which taught me how to keep pets grounded in stimulating environments. She is fantastic with small dogs, so if your little ones stay with us, they will have a friendly companion. Whether you have a big breed, a timid rescue, or an independent cat, I am dedicated to providing a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for them while you are away. I just finished my masters program so I currently have a highly flexible schedule, meaning I can dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pets throughout the day. My weekends are sometimes eventful, but my weeks are free for some furry love! I live in a cozy condo in Sonoma with my dog. While I don't have a private yard, I have a beautiful porch perfect for afternoon sunbathing. Safety is my top priority, so dogs are only ever allowed on the porch when I am home and actively supervising them. To make up for the lack of a yard, I go on frequent adventures! My dog and I regularly visit the lovely park just around the corner to run and search for lizards, and we love walking the perimeter of the Sonoma Square for people watching.

About: I have always been around pets, dogs, cats, hamsters and chicken! I am an animal lover that will take good care of your furry loved one’s. I work part time as a babysitter in the morning so I have free time in the afternoon . I’m also willing to stay overnight and weekends if needed. I offer company and playtime to the furry ones. I always make sure leashes and collars are properly fitted. Also, I make sure all doors are closed and locked.

“We were very happy with Brady's care of our dogs. We have two dogs, a pitbull mix and a little poodle bichon mix. The little dog is reactive so we are always concerned that when we hire a new sitter they understand how to work with her. During our "meet and greet" Brady was very patient with her and won her trust. We felt very comfortable leaving her in his care. Brady sent daily photos - he certainly spoiled them with lots of beach time. And our house was spotless when we got home.”

About: I grew up with cats and dogs and even started my own dog walking business when I was ten. I love animals … maybe even more than people. 😂 I’d be honored to care for your cats and dogs while you’re away. I would love to help you care for your pets when my children are at school…and if it’s okay for them to visit with your sweet dogs and cats as well I have TONS of flexibility all day. I am very careful with pets. They are part of the family. Please tell me what you feel comfortable with and I will follow the instructions to the last detail. I have so much love to give these animals and am hoping to get to spend my time with helping them not miss you too much while you’re away.

About: For over 20 years I have cared for dogs for friends, family, and lately through TrustedHousesitters. I will make sure your dog will get the exercise and best care needed, so you can relax and enjoy your time away from home. I only work part-time and I am close to retirement, so I'm in a position to easily adjust my schedule to meet your housesitting needs. Your pet's safety and well-being is my top priority. I am a very responsible and dependable person and I will give you frequent updates with text messages or otherwise to give you peace of mind while you are away from your pet(s).

“Mariah is an exceptional pet & house sitter. We are always nervous about onboarding a new sitter because we have three rescue pups of varying sizes and neuroses, plus our current spicy little foster dog. Mariah came over for a meet-and-greet in advance, asked great questions, and carefully reviewed our written directions. During the two-night stay she sent us plenty of cute photos and updates, and it was obvious that our dogs trusted her quickly. We will absolutely have Mariah back in the future!”

We couldn't be happier with Julia's caretaking of our house, our two cats, and dog. At our first meeting, it was clear she had a solid rapport with our animals at the get-go. Julia was always quick and thorough with her responses to our texts. It was an added benefit to our short vacation to have the peace of mind knowing that someone of Julia's caliber, calm confidence, and down-to-earth capabilities was taking care of things at home. We will most definitely be asking her to fulfill any future house or pet-sitting needs we may have. An added benefit was her great eye for taking pictures of our pets. Thank you, Julia! And Lucca, Fiona, and Ravi, thank you, too !!

She was a great communicator, took lots of pics and videos, and texted with questions and updates, which I really appreciated. I would highly recommend her, and will definitely use her again.

Jessica did a great job for 3 nights of taking care of our 10 year old, 75 pound Susie Q. She was communicative and responsive, sending quick updates with photos through the long weekend. Susie can be anxious at times, and she clearly loved Jessica because after we came home, Susie went to the room where Jessica stayed, and she decided to sleep there. :)

Susan was amazing. We were very concerned about leaving our three dogs for the first time in years especially our 16 yr old with health issues. However, Susan did an incredible job handling the special needs of all three dogs from food issues to medications. On our first meet and greet we could see she was truly an animal lover and had the patience and disposition we were looking for as a dog/house sitter. We would highly recommend Susan to anyone who is looking for to care for their fur babies while out of town. We will definitely be using Susan again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Bel Marin Keys

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Bel Marin Keys is $89 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $56 and $89 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.

As of November 2026, there are 7,126 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Bel Marin Keys. 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 Bel Marin Keys 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 Bel Marin Keys 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 Bel Marin Keys 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Bel Marin Keys. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.
